False eunuch in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 24 The Forbidden City

"It's a pity that I can't go out of the palace now, otherwise, I really want to train recruits with you. The scene where all the horses are silent is really exciting." Zhu Youjian was very yearning when he heard Cao Qing talk about the training.

"It doesn't matter, when you are able to go out of the palace in the future, the new army should be able to train well, and then the momentum will be even stronger." Cao Qing said.

"That Tian Baihu, you have to pay more attention. After all, he was sent by Jinyiwei, and the admiral of Jinyiwei, Tian Ergeng, is his confidant. Since Tian Shixian is sent by Jinyiwei, he may be Tian Ergeng's subordinate." Zhu Said by the inspection.

"Jin Yiwei is also the emperor's Jin Yiwei. Even if Tian Ergeng is that person's confidant, there are still warriors who are loyal to Daming, and there are still loyal ministers who are loyal to the emperor. Although Tian Shixian's surname is Tian, ​​he has nothing to do with Tian Ergeng. If it is really Tian Ergeng With Tian Shixian's ability, it shouldn't be just a hundred households." Cao Qing said.

"Really? If it is as you said, such a capable person, we will try our best to win. But now we can't come up with something that can make him tempted. If you make friends with him, you may have unexpected gains in the future. "Zhu Youjian said.

Cao Qing nodded, and said: "There is another thing. New firearms can't be manufactured for a while. But the new barracks will soon start practicing the art of firearms. A batch of excellent firearms is needed. The military battle has been abandoned for a long time. Even the warehouse There are firearms inside, and most of them are useless."

"I, I will find a way. Just do it step by step." Zhu Youjian said.

Zhu Youjian naturally wanted to fight Cao Qing again, but Cao Qing was training like a devil every day during this period of time, and taking a bath in medicinal soup, his force value soared rapidly.Zhu Youjian was pressed down on the ground by Cao Qing and beaten up.After Cao Qing beat Zhu Youjian, he walked away.

Fortunately, Cao Qing beat him well this time, and didn't greet his face, so although Zhu Youjian was beaten badly, he didn't appear to be injured at all on the outside.Zhu Youjian also secretly made up his mind that he must practice his magic skills hard during this period, and he must return to the scene.

When Cao Qing walked out of the door, he found a little court lady sneaking outside, and felt a little strange.Why did this court lady come to the imperial study to keep an eye on her?Could it be that Jiuqian sent to monitor the emperor?But Cao Qing wasn't worried either. When the two of them were discussing secret matters, their voices were very low, and the sound insulation effect of the Imperial Study Room was pretty good.The outside should not be able to hear the words inside.At most, you can hear Zhu Youjian's ghost crying and wolf howling just now.But after thinking about it, he went back.

"Why did you come back again?" Zhu Youjian asked.

"I saw a very strange phenomenon just now. A little court lady was sneaking outside, as if she was eavesdropping. As soon as I went out, she hurried away." Cao Qing said.

"Who is it?" Zhu Youjian walked out quickly regardless of the pain in his body, and saw a figure leaving in a hurry in the distance.

"It's nothing. Maybe she has something to do." Zhu Youjian said calmly.

Cao Qing knew that Zhu Youjian should know who it was, and judging from Zhu Youjian's expression, it should not have been sent by Wei Zhongxian.With Wei Zhongxian's skills, he probably wouldn't send such a reckless court lady.

"In that case, I'll leave first. Did you have any problems just now?" Cao Qing smiled.

"It's okay. What can I do? People who practice martial arts, can I not bear this bit of flesh and blood pain? Cao Qing, I teach you Kung Fu, you have to practice hard. I will test you again in a few days. You If you don't make progress, you can wait and feel better." Zhu Youjian said.

The court lady is actually Xiao Cui who is next to Empress Zhang.Queen Zhang is more concerned about Zhu Youjian's affairs.After all, since she supported Zhu Youjian to inherit the throne, she has been bound with Zhu Youjian.If Zhu Youjian can't secure the throne, she will definitely not end well.Although Keshi was finally allowed to move out of the palace.But if the Hakka family and Wei Zhongxian, the great enemies, were not eliminated for a day, Empress Zhang would have trouble sleeping and eating.And all of this is pinned on Zhu Youjian.

Due to the identities between the two of them, it was not convenient for Zhang Yan to see Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Youjian hardly went to Ciqing Palace in order to avoid suspicion.Zhang Yan wanted to ask Zhu Youjian something, or to give Zhu Youjian some warnings, so Xiaocui must be the microphone.

When Xiao Cui went to find Zhu Youjian, she found a eunuch beside Zhu Youjian.After Xiaocui saw Cao Qing, she ran away in a panic.And Zhu Youjian is also afraid that others will misunderstand that he has something to do with Zhang Yan's uncle and sister-in-law.So there are also some hesitations.

Xiaocui returned to Ciqing Palace, Zhang Yan saw Xiaocui coming back, and immediately asked with concern: "Xiaocui, did you see the emperor just now?"

"Back to the master. I didn't see the emperor just now. The servant girl arrived at Ciqing Palace, but unexpectedly, there was an eunuch beside the emperor, who was from Mr. Cao Huachun's side. The servant girl had no choice but to come back." Xiao Cui said.

"That man is here again? Do you know how his plot with the emperor is going?" Zhang Yan asked.

"My maidservant heard that Cao Qing went to the Military War Bureau to serve as the eunuch of the palm seal. I heard that he had trained a thousand guards recently. Eunuch Wei also knew about this. I heard that Eunuch Wei was very supportive. He sent Jin Yiwei to assist in the training. Mile." Xiaocui said.

"I can't understand this matter either. When you get the chance, you can ask that little eunuch to come to Ciqing Palace." Zhang Yan said.

"Yeah." Xiao Cui said.

In the nine-thousand-year-old mansion, Wei Zhongxian was also paying attention to Cao Qing's affairs.Although Wei Zhongxian did not regard Zhu Youjian and Cao Qing as his opponents, he was still more interested in what the little emperor did.

"Listen to what you say, this son of Cao Huachun is really capable of tossing. What does the little emperor think that 1000 people can toss? You keep an eye on this matter. But don't try to stop it. Always give him some hope. Otherwise, there will be trouble. It's not good when something happens. They want money for money, things for things, and people for people. Let them make a fuss. See how much noise they can make." Wei Zhongxian looked like he had everything under control in the demeanor.

Tian Ergeng said: "My fellow clan Tian Shixian also participated in it. I am worried that if he does so, he will give a bad warning to the Jinyiwei."

"It doesn't matter. An eunuch in charge of the military battle bureau and a hundred households of Jinyiwei, no matter how hard they are, they only have the energy to fight like this. Let them go. Above, I want the little emperor to feel my strength." Wei Zhongxian said.

"That's it, I will give orders. Ignore them for the time being." Tian Ergeng said.
