Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 60
Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, has been a place that countless people yearn for throughout the ages.

Since Yongle Jingnan ascended to the throne and changed Shuntianfu to Beijing, the Ming Dynasty has established its capital here for more than [-] years.

After more than 200 years of ups and downs, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is still prosperous at this time, but the mottled city walls and the listless guards seem to be silently telling people that this is an old man who has entered his twilight years .

The hero is late, how many glorious days are left, who can tell!

Looking at this ancient city, Ye Xun had mixed feelings in his heart.

"Eunuch, the governor of my family has already prepared a residence for the eunuch's subordinates. You can rest with me first, and the eunuch can enter the palace by himself."

The one who spoke was another fellow Jin Yiwei who was sent by Xu Xianchun to meet Ye Xun.

In order to build a good relationship with Ye Xun, Xu Xianchun can be considered to have put in a lot of effort. He can also be regarded as a close minister of Wanli.

From Emperor Wanli's attitude towards Ye Xun and the fact that Cui Wensheng became more and more alienated when he came here, Xu Xianchun keenly felt that the day when Cui Wensheng's downfall is not far away. It is obvious that Ye Xun can't go wrong if he has a good relationship.

For Xu Xianchun's arrangement, Ye Xun had already been mentally prepared, and cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, general."

The Jin Yiwei colleague obviously also intends to make friends with Ye Xun, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Eunuch is too polite, my surname is Yang, come here, what should I do in Beijing, I will definitely do my best."

After Yang Tongzhi finished speaking, he turned his head and said to his subordinates: "Immediately take my father-in-law's brothers to rest. We will serve you good wine and good food. If there is any negligence, you are the only one to ask."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and said to Ye Xun: "Eunuch hasn't been back to Beijing for a long time, right? I have nothing to do, so let's go to the palace with Eunuch!"

Yang Tongzhi had a fat head and big ears. At this time, his head kept shaking from side to side, looking very funny.

Ye Xun suppressed a smile, turned his head and gave some instructions to Liang Zhen and the others, then turned his horse's head and walked towards the city under the guidance of Yang Tongzhi.

There were people from Jinyi Guard at the city gate to say hello, and before Ye Xun and his party got close, the gatekeeper officer had already started to clean up the passers-by in the gate.

Although the overall strength of the Ming Dynasty has been declining, how can the capital be compared with other places?
Moreover, the most indispensable thing in the capital city of all dynasties is officials and dandies. When Ye Xun entered the city, it was just after the city gate was opened, and there were the most traders and commoners.

The scolding of the officers, the yelling of the people, and the neighing of the livestock during the period, how can it be described in a random word?
Seeing this, Ye Xun frowned slightly, turned to Yang Tong and said, "Why don't you wait!"

Yang Tongzhi's expression darkened when he saw this. Although Jin Yiwei didn't dare to be too arrogant at this time, he could also walk sideways in the capital. Now that he can't understand such a trivial matter, how can he raise his head in front of Eunuch Xiaoye in the future?
Calling back the entourage around him, he ordered a few words in a low voice, and then turned his head to Ye Xun and said, "Don't worry, Eunuch, I will never delay Eunuch's meeting with His Majesty."

I don't know what Yang Tongzhi's entourage said to the officer guarding the gate, but the officer guarding the gate suddenly stopped scolding pedestrians, but shouted at the top of his voice.

"Fathers and folks, this is Eunuch Ye who just defeated the old slave of the Tartars in Liaodong. Now His Majesty urgently invites Eunuch Ye to discuss the military situation. I also ask the villagers to make way, so as not to delay His Majesty's important business."

Ye Xun didn't know that Wanli had secretly ordered Xu Xianchun to publicize Ye Xun's achievements in order to regain the face he lost in the Battle of Saerhu. Now Ye Xun's affairs in Liaodong had been enlarged tenfold by Jin Yiwei, causing the capital Now almost everyone knows it.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty is close to the north, and the ferocity of the Tartars has long been rumored among the people. The common people hate and fear those Tartars. Unfortunately, the news from Liaodong is all about how the imperial army was defeated and lost land. Now suddenly How can the people be unhappy when a hero who can defeat the Tartars emerges?
Although some people questioned the veracity of the rumors, the common people were willing to spread such rumors, and the more they spread, the more they spread.

Sure enough, after hearing that the group of people behind was the legendary Eunuch Ye, the people crowded at the city gate immediately dispersed to the surroundings, and soon gave way to Ye Xun and the others.

Pedestrians who were not crowded in front bowed to salute Ye Xun and his party one after another, and some even shouted loudly.

The painting style on the scene changed suddenly, it was a bit like welcoming the triumphant return of a hero.

Ye Xun was a little confused. It might be possible for this kind of scene to happen somewhere in Liaodong, but this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty!When did he have such prestige in the capital?
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Xun understood the key point, and he couldn't help secretly screaming in his heart that if he wasn't a eunuch, his prestige among the people would be enough to bring him a fatal disaster.

"Eunuch Ye, please!"

After the matter was done, Yang Tongzhi's face was brightened, and he said to Ye Xun with a smile.

At this moment, Ye Xun suddenly made a movement that no one expected.

I saw Ye Xun roll off the saddle and get off the horse, then knelt directly at the gate of the city, first kowtowed respectfully, and then raised his voice: "Your servant Ye Xun has delivered an order to repay the order and thank God, my emperor, long live, long live, Long live!"

The eunuch is a domestic slave of the Tian family, and the term "slave" was not invented by the Jurchens at first, so according to Ye Xun's identity, he can only call himself a slave to the emperor.

Ye Xun knelt down, and Liang Zhen, Xiang Biao and others behind him naturally had to kneel down too.

"Hula!" After a sound, there was a mass of people kneeling on the ground outside the city gate.

Yang Tongzhi was also savvy, and when Ye Xun stood up, he asked, "Could it be that your majesty had already calculated that the quasi-eunuch would have this victory?"

Ye Xun smiled slightly, and said: "Don't blame General Yang, there are some things that our family can't say, as long as you know that everything is under His Majesty's control."

After hearing Ye Xun's words, Yang Tongzhi patted his head quickly, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, His Majesty's holy will, how can I guess, please hurry up, don't make Your Majesty wait in a hurry."

"Okay, please!"

Ye Xun believed that the performance just now would reach Wanli's ears very soon. If this big flattery was filmed, he would be able to score some points in front of Wanli!
In order to show a low profile, Ye Xun led the crowd to walk through the city gate before getting on their horses.

After entering the city, the team was divided into two. Liang Zhen, Xiang Biao and other guards followed Jin Yiwei to rest, while Ye Xun followed Yang Tongzhi and rushed to the palace.

After Ye Xun and the others entered the city, they didn't notice a group of young men in bright clothes and angry horses in an open space beside the city wall.

These young people straddled bows and crossbows, rode tall horses, and were accompanied by guards and attendants. They looked like they were about to go hunting in the city. It was not difficult to see from their clothes that they were not children of ordinary families.
