Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 94
The gates of the palace opened early the next morning. Although Wanli did not go to court, none of the civil and military officials were late. They arrived at their respective court rooms in twos and threes, and then they did what they should do.

Before dawn, the sharp-eyed minister suddenly noticed that a young man with the appearance of a eunuch respectfully bowed three times and nine times in the direction of Qianqing Palace, then turned around and strode away from the palace.

Ye Xun had only been in Beijing for a few days, and although there was a lot of commotion, few ministers really knew him.

What made these officials even more strange was that after seeing the little eunuch come out, the Jinyi soldiers who guarded the palace gate all led their horses and stomped their beards desperately to please them, as if they had seen their ancestors. Neither the Duke nor the Prince.

For a while, the officials talked a lot, wondering who the little eunuch was.

But Ye Xun was in no mood to talk to them anymore. At this moment, his mood was like a bird out of the cage, not to mention how happy he was.

Back at the residence, Cheng Yu, Liang Zhen and the others were ready to leave, and the housekeeper led a group of servants to line up outside the residence to see them off.

After explaining everything that should be explained, Ye Xun rode on the horseback, nodded slightly to the housekeeper, then waved his palm lightly, and said, "Let's go!"

There were more than [-] people when they came, but there were nearly [-] people when they returned. This is not counting the little sisters who left early and Xiang Biao and others.

In addition to more than 100 guards and family members of craftsmen, there were more than [-] large carriages in the team. The carriages were filled with various supplies, including grain, medicinal materials, cotton and linen, among which the most conspicuous one was the one that Wang Dengku rode on. The luxury carriage.

At that time, Ye Xun just said that the carriage was good, and Hu Jiucheng took note of it, so when he was destroying Wang Dengku, Hu Jiucheng mentioned it to Xu Xianchun by the way.

When Xu Xianchun heard that it was Ye Xun's favorite, he immediately asked Hu Jiucheng to rush over without saying a word. Ye Xun had already given him a gift. Now that Ye Xun returned to Liaodong, he had to express something, right?

After leaving the city gate and walking on the official road leading to Liaodong, in just a few days, Ye Xun seemed to have a dream, with sighs and sighs, but only no nostalgia, feeling that the huge capital city is like a cage, only Want to get as far away from it as possible.

Seeing Ye Xun looking back frequently, Cheng Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "Why! Eunuch is reluctant to leave?"

Ye Xun shook his head and said: "The capital is too depressing, far from being free in Liaodong. If possible, I would never come back for the rest of my life."

"How is that possible? The Tartars will be pacified one day. At that time, even if the father-in-law doesn't want to go back, the court may not agree. This has nothing to do with the father-in-law's ability, because once the father-in-law pacifies Liaodong, it will be a great achievement. Imagine how the imperial court can rest assured that the father-in-law remains in Liaodong?"

Ye Xun also knew that he was just wishful thinking. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the left and right guards were a little far away from him, so he whispered to Cheng Yu about the conversation with Wanli in the palace last night, and at the same time expressed his doubts.

Before Ye Xun could finish speaking, Cheng Yu's face became serious, and he said softly, "Elder-in-law, have you ever thought about whether there will be problems with the people around you?"

"No, these people followed me from the very beginning, and I brought them out with my own hands. There can't be any problems."

Although Ye Xun also thought about this possibility, he quickly denied it to himself. It was he himself who said that there is no need to suspect people and no doubt about employing people. Now if he says he doubts the people around him, isn't he slapping himself in the face?
Cheng Yu's mind was much more gloomy than Ye Xun's. While talking with Ye Xun, Liang Zhen's unusual behavior when he just met Liang Zhen yesterday flashed through his mind.

Of course, without any real evidence, Cheng Yu wouldn't just talk nonsense.

At this time Ye Xun smiled suddenly, and said: "Don't worry too much, Your Majesty is worried that your subjects are outside, and it's normal to send an undercover agent. Anyway, we don't want to rebel, so what is there to be afraid of?"

Cheng Yu nodded. Although he didn't speak, he had already made up his mind. He had just arrived, but he could gain Ye Gonggong's unreserved trust. Such a great kindness, even if he was broken into pieces, he would not be able to repay him, so he must find out this undercover agent. Never allow such a person to exist beside Eunuch Ye, even if sent by the emperor.

There was no war in Liaodong, so Ye Xun didn't have to rush as much as when he came here. At noon, the team had only traveled more than forty miles.

When it was lunch time, Ye Xun ordered to rest on the spot and called Hu Jiucheng over at the same time.

Since Hu Jiucheng came to Ye Xun's side, he has been keeping a low profile, following behind to guard the food and grass, and hardly even talking to the people around him.

After hearing that Ye Xun had summoned him, he quickly put down his work and rushed over.

He bowed and saluted, "Elder-in-law, did you call me?"

Ye Xun nodded, waved his hand and ordered the guards to retreat, leaving Cheng Yu aside, and after introducing Cheng Yu and Hu, he said, "Old Hu! Do you know what I want you for?"

Hu Jiucheng pondered for a while, and then asked carefully: "But for the property of the Wang family?"

Ye Xun gave a thumbs up, turned his head and smiled at Cheng Yu: "How about Brother Cheng, isn't the helper I found for you good?"

Cheng Yu nodded. He knew very well that Hu Jiucheng, like him, came to Ye Xun's side lately. If he wanted to win Ye Xun's favor, he had to work together to make achievements.

"Brother Hu, you and I will be colleagues from now on, please take care of me a little bit more"

Hu Jiucheng didn't even dare to say that he didn't dare. He had already noticed that no matter where Ye Xun went, there was this man by his side. Obviously this man was Ye Xun's extremely trusted subordinate. People called him Brother Hu to be polite to him. Don't take it seriously.

But Ye Xun said again: "Old Hu! I just discussed with Brother Cheng, and I think you should not be with us for the time being. In addition, I am going to send Xiang Biao to help you. You are also old acquaintances. You must cooperate with us. no problem”

Of course Hu Jiucheng understood what Ye Xun meant. Ye Xun said nicely that Xiang Biao was cooperating with him, but the real person in charge must be Xiang Biao. If he got this primary and secondary relationship wrong, he might end up happy.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, the subordinates will fully cooperate with Brother Xiang to handle the affairs entrusted by the father-in-law."

At this time, Cheng Yu interjected, "Brother Hu, don't misunderstand your father-in-law. What your father-in-law really wants is the Wang family's business network."

Hu Jiucheng is a very smart person. Hearing Cheng Yu's words, he immediately understood Ye Xun's true intentions.

He nodded and said, "Master Cheng, don't worry, your subordinates know how to do it, but I'm afraid it will take some time. After all, the Wang family was in charge before. People who want to install us cannot be completed in a day or two."

Seeing that Hu Jiucheng reacted so quickly, Cheng Yu was also very pleased, and said, "No problem, Brother Hu, even if you let go, I will fully cooperate with you here."

When the three of Ye Xun were discussing things together, Liang Zhen seemed to be casually patrolling in the distance, but his heart had already flown to the three of them. In fact, at this moment, he was not without jealousy in his heart.

"These two people obviously didn't stay by my father-in-law's side for as long, why does my father-in-law seem to trust them more and more?".
