lady, please calm down

Chapter 324 The posture of a powerful minister
At this time, Chen Chu walked out of the imperial study.

The sun in the morning and afternoon was already extremely fierce. After only taking a few steps under the sun, Chen Chu, who was wearing armor, was so hot that he was sweating all over his forehead.

The square in front of the Daqing Palace was empty except for a little Huangmen kneeling under the palace wall, hunched over and struggling to wash the floor tiles.

I don’t know if he made a mistake and was punished, or if he was just doing his job.

Chen Chu had nothing to do for the time being, so he suddenly turned around and walked towards the little Huangmen.

The leading eunuch next to him was startled. The imperial city is not the backyard of your palace. Which way to enter the palace and which way to leave the palace are all customized. How can you wander around randomly.

However, Marquis Lu An had just established his prestige in the morning today. The eunuch took courage several times but did not dare to remind him.

Chen Chu walked up to the little Huangmen with slow and slow steps.

The tall figure blocked the sun, and Xiao Huangmen raised his head and looked over. It seemed that he didn't understand who this young general was, and he didn't understand why he was standing in front of him. Xiao Huangmen raised his head and looked confused.

Chen Chu also took the opportunity to observe this person. He was about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was thin and had an old scar on his forehead and a new wound on his cheek.
The eunuch next to him, perhaps eager to show off, stepped forward and kicked Xiao Huangmen on the shoulder, scolding in a sharp voice: "You are blind! You still don't kowtow to the Marquis!"

The little Huangmen staggered, hurriedly steadied himself, bowed his head and said, "I've seen the Marquis, I've seen the Marquis."

Chen Chu waved his hand to stop the eunuch beside him from wanting to show off his authority. He looked at the small yellow door and said with a smile, "What's your name?"

"Master Marquis, my servant's surname is Huang, and my nickname is Doudou. Master Marquis, please call us Xiaodouzi." Xiao Huangmen didn't dare to raise his head and replied cautiously.

"Huang Doudou?"

Chen Chu couldn't help but smile and said, "This name is familiar to me. Where are you from?"

"Go back to the Marquis, my servant lives in Shazao Pu, ten miles east of the city."

"Oh. Eunuch Huang, please accompany me out of the palace to do something."

"Ah?" Monk Huang Doudou was confused. Firstly, he and the Marquis didn't know each other at all. Secondly, as a chamberlain, how could he be qualified to leave the palace casually?

He entered the palace at the age of 15 and has not set foot outside the imperial city for nearly four years.

"Master Marquis, if there is no decree from the palace, we lowly people should not take it lightly." The eunuch who had been following Chen Chu explained with a smile, but before he could finish speaking, Chen Chu turned around and looked over, humming in his throat. He said questioningly, "Huh?"

The eunuch immediately stopped talking, raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and turned to scold Huang Doudou: "Go with the Marquis! Come back early when you are done! If you dare to make the Marquis angry, watch your skin carefully."

A moment ago.

Chen Chu took Huang Doudou out of the imperial city.

Outside the imperial city, Mao Dan and others, who were hiding in the shadows under the wall to avoid the scorching sun, met Chen Chu, formed a team, led the horses, and then asked: "Master, are you going back to the imperial camp?"

Chen Chu said, "Go to the Sha Zao Pu, ten miles east of the city."

When Huang Doudou heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Chen Chu secretly. She didn't understand why the Marquis wanted to go to her home, and she didn't know whether this trip was a blessing or a curse, and she became more and more uneasy.

The group of people headed east out of the city.

Compared to the past, the streets of Tokyo, which had just experienced a turmoil, were a little deserted.

On the way, Chen Chu asked Mao Dan to buy sugar, tea, silk and other gifts. When passing by the Wucheng King Temple, Chen Chu asked Mao Dan to buy some mutton cakes according to the number of people at Zhangjiahu Cake Shop to soothe the intestines that had not eaten breakfast. Belly.

Seeing that he also had his own, Huang Doudou thanked Mao Dan, grabbed the pancake and devoured it.

His anxious expression, as if he was starving to death, aroused Mao Dan's curiosity, "Little father-in-law, you live in the Imperial City, you should eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, right? Is this ordinary pancake so delicious?"

Huang Doudou saw that Mao Dan was about the same age as him and that the latter had no ill intentions. He couldn't help but relax a lot and said with a smile: "Delicates from the mountains and seas are only eaten by the royal nobles and the important officials. How can lowly servants like us be so lucky?" point."

"The Tian family really has many rules." Mao Dan shook his head and said with some pride, "My Marquis is in the army and he eats the same food as us."

Huang Doudou didn't believe this, so he just smiled and said nothing.

When leaving the city, in order to prevent unrest outside the city, the white-haired rat took a group of soldiers with him.

So much so that when he arrived at Shazaopu, ten miles east of the city, at the end of Si Shi, the local people were shocked.

Fortunately, Huang Doudou, a local, stopped the commotion by calling out to the fleeing villagers.

Huang Doudou has been away from home for three or four years, and his appearance has changed a lot. The elders in the village stepped forward to identify him carefully for a long time before they recognized that he was the son of the lame old man Huang in the village.

Looking at Huang Doudou followed by more than 100 capable sergeants, the elder was surprised and asked cautiously: "Douzi, why did you bring Army Master Qunduo into the village?"

Huang Doudou didn't know how to answer. After all, he didn't even know what the Marquis, whom he had just known for an hour, was going to do.

While he was hesitating, he saw Chen Chu dismounting from his horse, walking up to the elder, cupping his hands, and said with a smile: "I would like to teach you, old man, I know that Eunuch Huang has recently become the head of the chamberlain of the sixth rank, and he has been specially allowed to go back to his hometown to visit his relatives for one day."

There was a buzz and discussion spread.

The villagers don't understand what kind of official the head of the chamberlain is, but the sixth rank is definitely not small!
Even the magistrate of Ji County is less than a sixth-rank official!
The boy from the Huang family is on the verge of success!
"Big nephew! I told your father two days ago that you will have great potential sooner or later!"

"Brother Douzi! You are a bigger official than the county magistrate!"

Amid compliments from all directions, Huang Doudou bowed his hands to Chen Chu in embarrassment and thanked him.

When the villagers saw this group of sergeants, they believed Chen Chu's words, but Huang Doudou knew that he was just a low-ranking handyman from the Huangmen. The Marquis was talking nonsense, probably to make himself look good.

This road Anhou, the people are quite nice.
Huang Doudou quite enjoyed this feeling.

A family that is willing to let its son enter the palace must be extremely poor.

When had the Huang Doudou family been so respected?

Surrounded by villagers, Huang Doudou returned to his home after more than three years.

A fence and two shabby thatched huts, nothing changed from those days.

Chen Chu asked Mao Dan to deliver the gifts to the courtyard, and then went to the distant wilderness and ran for a while with Xiao Hong.

Don't delay family reunion.

When Huang's mother saw her son, she naturally hugged him and cried a lot.

The old man of the Huang family was lame in one leg and was unable to work. He had two brothers and one sister under Huang Doudou. The youngest brother was already somewhat unfamiliar with him.

Huang Doudou ignored the sadness and immediately asked about something he was confused about, "Dad, Mom, do I still have enough money to build a new house with the money I have sent to me every month?"

Huang's father and Huang's mother showed some embarrassment when they heard this. In order to prevent his younger siblings from starving to death, Huang's eldest son was willing to enter the palace and sacrifice himself for the family, so his doubts were justified.

Huang Mu wiped her tears and explained in a low voice: "Son, my parents have never spent a penny. Except for sending your two younger brothers to school as you said, the rest is just enough to make ends meet. When your father arrives, It was cloudy and rainy, and my legs were hurting, but they refused to let me spend money on medicine. Three hundred yuan a month is really only enough for these expenses."

"!"

When Huang Doudou heard this, he almost jumped up.

His monthly salary was one to two five cents, and except for the five cents he kept for himself, his boss, Sun Gui, the handyman and remand, took the rest home for him!

There are two reasons for asking Sun Gui to help. One is because he has a good relationship with the purchasing eunuch and can often leave the palace.

Secondly, Huang Doudou was thin and weak, and the old eunuchs in the handyman class often bullied and beat him. Only Sun Gui was kind to him.

Now that I think about it, Sun Gui must have been greedy for the money Huang Doudou sent to his parents!
"Son, what's the matter with this injury on your face? But someone is bullying you?" After the excitement calmed down a little, Huang's mother discovered new injuries on her son's face and old ones on top of each other, and she couldn't help but burst into tears again.

Huang Doudou, however, quickly calmed down after experiencing the anger. She neither told her mother about the money being embezzled, nor did she tell the truth about the injury on her face.

He just said: "I accidentally bumped it."

There's no point in talking about it. If you don't tell your parents that they can't help you, you'll still make them worried.

At this time, I heard a whistle in the distance. Looking through the window, I saw that it was Lu Anhou who was greeting his beloved horse. One man and one horse were galloping in the wilderness.

"Son, who is this general?" Huang's mother asked cautiously.

Huang Doudou slowly looked away from Chen Chu, then looked around at the still impoverished home, and suddenly smiled, "Mom, this general, maybe he is your noble man!"

Afternoon, Shen Shi.After a short visit to relatives, Huang Doudou was personally sent back to the imperial city by Mao Dan outside the Xuande Gate.

When leaving, Mao Dan smiled and handed him a small copper plate, and said: "My Marquis said that if you need help, if you have this plate, you can go to the guards outside the imperial city and they will help you. of."

At the moment, those responsible for the security outside the imperial city and the front hall are the Huaibei Army.

But in order to observe, the Huaibei Army naturally cannot enter the harem.

Huang Doudou took the bronze medal without much hesitation. After bowing it to the end, he said respectfully: "Please go back and thank the Marquis for our family."

When he left home just now, Marquis Lu An left a sum of money. Huang Doudou naturally understood the meaning of this. Today, the Marquis showed his kindness and knew the location of his home.

This is to ask him to serve!

If he cooperates, the money will be a sweetener, but if he is half-hearted, his family in the east of the city will become hostages.

The two said goodbye, and Huang Doudou returned to the palace.

At the beginning of Youshi, I returned to my residence in the Internal Affairs Bureau.

Every inch of land in the imperial city is at a premium, so the accommodation for low-level servants like them is naturally not very good.

Most of the people slept in Datong bunkhouses with more than a dozen people in each room. In the summer, the sweltering room was filled with a faint smell of urine.

When Huang Doudou entered, Sun Gui, the handyman in charge, was playing dice and making money with several other eunuchs.

Due to the turmoil two days ago, some eunuchs in charge escaped and died in the palace, so that the entire harem was in chaos and without any order.

These people who play dice are the ones who love to bully Huang Doudou. He usually avoids these people when he sees them.

But this time, he walked straight over.

"Big! Big! Big! Why the fuck is he small again!"

A middle-aged eunuch lost money again and was filled with evil anger. He turned around and saw Huang Doudou standing aside. He raised his hand and slapped her hard, "Damn! I'm so frustrated."

Another eunuch named Zhang Tai saw this. He stood up and kicked Huang Doudou in the abdomen, scolding sharply: "Chenwu asked you to wash the blood stains in the cracks under the west wall. Where did you go? I asked you to Be lazy, let you be lazy."

Zhang Tai landed on Huang Doudou's head and face one by one. Sun Gui, the handyman in charge, deliberately waited for a while before saying: "Forget it, don't hit me. Xiaodouzi is weak, so don't hurt me!"

"Bah! You lazy bastard! If Sun Aban hadn't interceded for you, our family would have beaten you to death!"

After Zhang Tai touched his feet without finishing, he spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on Huang Doudou's face.

Huang Doudou lay on the ground to relax for a moment, then slowly got up and wiped away the dirt and nosebleeds on his face.

Sun Gui and others have returned their attention to the gambling table.

Huang Doudou stood for a moment and suddenly said: "Sun Yaban"

"Huh?" Sun Gui stared at the spinning dice in the bowl and responded casually.

"I asked you to bring money to your family, did you bring it?"

As soon as he said this, Sun Gui slowly turned his head and looked at Huang Doudou, and said in a neutral tone: "What do you mean?"

"I heard someone say today that you only give my family three hundred dollars a month, and you spend the rest on your own."

Perhaps because he had some confidence, although Huang Doudou looked miserable, his tone was very calm.

"fart!"

Sun Gui became angry on the spot. He grabbed Huang Doudou by the collar, slapped her left and right, and then said, "If I hadn't protected you, you would have been beaten to death long ago, a lazy guy!"

"I'm just asking you, are you greedy for my family's money?"

Huang Doudou was unusually stubborn today, and Sun Gui became angry from shame. No longer trying to hide it, he said viciously: "Our family just used your money, so what do you do with it? Go and complain to His Highness if you dare!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and knocked over the bowl used to play dice, and screamed at the other people: "Play with eggs! First, beat this ungrateful thing to give our family some vent!"

"Hey, good!"

"Sun Aban, please take a look!"

At the end of Youshi.

Zhou Zulin, the Yuhou of the Huai Army who was on duty outside the imperial city, saw the limping Huang Doudou with a bruised nose and swollen face, and looked at the opponent's bronze medal.

Only an hour ago, Zhou Zulin was notified to see this card and temporarily obeyed the other party's orders.

Zhou Zulin looked at Huang Doudou and asked, "What does father-in-law want me to do?"

"Help me kill a few people." Huang Doudou said calmly.

Zhou Zulin couldn't help but frowned. Firstly, he didn't like eunuchs. Secondly, Lao Zhou felt that the young eunuch had just won the bronze medal from his employer and he couldn't wait to use it. It was too pretentious and powerful.

But Huang Doudou also had his own ideas. The Marquis originally wanted to use his hand to control the harem. The earlier he established his power, the sooner he could do things for the Marquis and reflect his own value.

Even though Zhou Zulin felt resentful, his boss's order was God!

Shaoqing, Zhou Zulin ordered a hundred sergeants and followed Huang Doudou into the palace.
every moment.

The sergeant had dragged a group of howling eunuchs into the courtyard of the Internal Affairs Prison. There were hundreds of low-level eunuchs of all sizes living in the Internal Affairs Prison.

When they saw the ferocious sergeant, everyone was so frightened that they trembled and hid in the house and did not dare to go out.

"How to deal with it?" Zhou Zulin asked in a low voice.

The forlorn-looking Huang Doudou put his hands behind his back and tried to make his aura look stronger. Before he spoke, he looked around. He knew that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him behind the windows and doors.

Then he pointed at several people and said in the loudest voice: "Beat Zhang Tai, him, him, him to death! Break both of Sun Gui's legs."

"Xiaodouzi, ah, no, Eunuch Huang, please spare our family! We have realized our mistake!"

"Eunuch Huang, we are too blind to see Mount Tai. Remember that we have worked together for many years, please spare our family."

As soon as Huang Doudou finished speaking, several people with their hands tied behind their backs immediately grabbed the ground with their heads and shed tears.

No one understands why Huang Doudou, the most inconspicuous and bullied person in the Internal Affairs Prison, suddenly got into a relationship with Lu Anhou
Not only were they puzzled, but all the eunuchs in the housekeeping department couldn't figure it out.

But this did not prevent several people from being beaten to death by sergeants in the courtyard of the Internal Affairs Supervisor, in front of all the miscellaneous eunuchs.
After Sun Gui's legs were broken, Huang Doudou tied a rope around his neck with his own hands and tied him under the big tree in the courtyard.

Zhou Zulin frowned repeatedly when he saw this perverted approach.

The other eunuchs who lived in the same room as Huang Doudou had already looked for ointment and brought water with great eyes to cleanse and apply ointment to Eunuch Huang's face.
"Godfather! I haven't seen my father since I was a child, but I have always felt that Eunuch Huang is close to me. In the future, I want to become a godfather and fulfill my filial piety for him."

In the next room, another post in his 30s knelt in front of Huang Doudou with an admiring look on his face.
From other rooms, eunuchs kept pouring out. Eunuchs from far away put on disgusting smiles and quickly surrounded Huang Doudou.

Huang Doudou looked around, his face flushed, and he felt a tingling pleasure spreading rapidly along his vertebrae throughout his body.

It felt like I had a good dream one night before I was purified, in which I had intercourse with the goddess. This was the feeling I had now.

Quan, it’s really satisfying!

The sergeant entered the palace, causing a panic.

Jia Rou carefully sent people to ask what happened, but Zhou Zulin, who had withdrawn from the harem and was on duty in the outer hall, said: "There are remnants of King Lu in the palace, and Marquis Lu An has sent his generals to eliminate the stubborn ones. Your Highness does not need to worry."

Why!You, the Huaibei Army, can enter this harem at any time. What Jiarou is worried about is not being so "stubborn", it's you tigers and wolves!

The next day, a decree came from the palace, and Huang Doudou, the chamberlain, was promoted to the head of the chamberlain palace, and was placed in charge of the central guards.

The decree came from His Highness Jiarou, who was "temporarily taking charge" of the government. However, on the night Huang Doudou was promoted, he went to the imperial camp and kowtowed to Marquis Lu An in person to thank him.
Accompanying him were a few Gan'er whom he had just recognized. Huang Doudou's meaning was very clear. Please ask the Marquis to take a look at these few. If you like them, I will assign them positions. If they don't like them, Even if they recognized me as their godfather, they would not reuse me.

In short, both the internal and external ministers clearly knew that the trend of Da Qi had changed!
