Chapter 208 Yingtai Sunset (11-2)

In the palace, after the Reform Movement of 1898, there was a popular saying in private: "Change the emperor", now someone is quietly talking about it. However, the same sentence has different meanings before and after.At that time, saying "changing the emperor" meant changing the emperor, but now saying "changing the emperor" means that the power will be transferred. When the emperor dies and a new master is established, it is certainly "changing the emperor", but it may also be that the "Lafayette" returns to the west, and the power returns to the emperor's hands, then it becomes a real "changing the emperor".The emperor is no longer a nameless person, as if he has been reborn as a human again!

There are those eunuchs who know how to read and write, and can work in the internal affairs office, the Hall of Mental Cultivation, etc. These days, they often tell stories about the change of dynasty to their colleagues, "As long as the emperor is changed, someone will be in trouble!" Conclusion, "Who is the unlucky one? He is the most favored person in front of the old emperor. The more he is favored, the more unlucky he will be!" Listening to these words can easily remind people of Heshen. On the third day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Jiaqing, when the Supreme Emperor Bintian arrived on the eighth day, Heshen was arrested for the twentieth crime, ransacked his home, and committed suicide on the eighteenth day.The backer fell in less than half a month, and his family was ruined.

Similar incidents have not only occurred during the Jiaqing period.Just take the last two dynasties as an example. Wenzong came to the throne, and the power minister Mu Zhang'ali was deposed during the Daoguang period;Today's emperor ascends the throne only because the person in power has not changed, so there is no killing.However, there may be changes ahead! It was Cui Yugui who was most afraid of this change. "Ah!" He often sighed to his disciples: "Lafayette lives a day, I live a day!" Among his apprentices—all the eunuchs who are closer to the emperor have been killed, expelled, and almost eliminated in the past ten years. Most of the eunuchs who work in critical places are his apprentices.Many of them were under Li Lianying's command, but because of Li Lianying's rapid retreat, they changed to serve under Cui Yugui's disciples - we all know that he is in a predicament of isolation and helplessness.If the Empress Dowager Cixi can no longer protect him, the emperor will of course kill him, even if the emperor is gone, and Concubine Jin and her natal family will pursue the matter of Concubine Zhen's "martyrdom", I don't know how many people will stand up and complain , public anger is hard to commit, and an old life can't be saved no matter what!

He had no choice but to offend the emperor's younger brother, 23-year-old Tobeile.On September 15th, according to court rules, all close friends and relatives had to eat fresh fruits and delicacies to honor the old lady. Zai Tao had already grown up and married, and of course it was no exception.The little eunuch of destiny took the servants and picked up the food box to the Summer Palace. He also ordered that he stop by to see how the emperor's condition was recently. It went smoothly, met the emperor, and invited Ann on Zai Tao's behalf.And just when the little eunuch left the garden and returned to the mansion, a secret report had already arrived at the bedroom of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

This should be the most ordinary thing, but here and now it is the most serious thing.Empress Dowager Cixi didn't care about Zai Tao, she was afraid that the emperor would have something to tell the little eunuch to take him out.So I had to catch this little eunuch and ask him! So Cui Yugui sent someone with the guards to go straight to Taobeile's mansion, and he frightened the people of Baylor's mansion with menacing force.When he reported to the room, the young and vigorous Zai Tao was very displeased, with a livid face, he came to ask what happened in person. "What are you going to do?"

"I came here by order to get the little eunuch who just came to the emperor's bedroom." The person sent by Cui Yugui replied. "By whose order?" "Lafayette's will." Only then did Zai Tao realize that what he said was not only redundant, but also wrong!Of course it was Yi's decree, how could the emperor come to arrest his people?Now that this question is clear, how can I get off the stage? Young and good-looking, it is inevitable that he does not know the importance, so he suddenly put on a face and said: "Without the emperor's will, you can't take my people!"

If someone came to ask: "Do you want to resist Yi's decree?" This matter would not be able to end. Fortunately, the person still knew the general idea and refused to say this sentence, just said: "That will be offended!" Wrinkling his mouth, the guards who brought him searched separately, and took them away immediately when they found them.Zai Tao was so angry that he was desperate, and the guards rushed forward to persuade him.Zai Tao likes Piao Wusheng, he often fights with Yang Xiaolou and Qian Jinfu, he has a bit of skill in the waist and feet, five or six guards worked hard to stop him by hugging him around the waist.

"It's all Cui Yugui, that old bastard!" Zai Tao scolded, jumping up and down, "One day we'll get rid of him!" When someone spread this word to Cui Yugui's ears, the young eunuch who was arrested was executed for the Ministry of Internal Affairs because he refused to admit that the emperor had something to say. "Look, this grievance has been incurred again for no reason!" Cui Yugui was about to cry! Obviously, if the son of King Chun succeeds to the throne in the future, it will not be easy for Tao Belle to take his life as the emperor's uncle?

"Master, you don't have to worry all the time! I'll kill him if I die alone!" The person who said this was Sun Jingfu, nicknamed Little Fatty Sun, who was originally in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and was quite favored. Therefore, Cui Yugui suggested that he be sent to serve the emperor as a reliable eyes and ears. Greetings, this is his letter. What does the "he" in his mouth mean?If it is the emperor, the so-called "one person will kill him" is something unimaginable. On the third night, the eunuch who stayed with Sun Jingfu found a knife hidden in his robe.The knife is one inch long, with two sides open, and a leather case with a leather belt on the top end of the case, which can be tied around the waist. It is hidden by a robe, so it is not easy to find.

The eunuch's nickname was Erlianzi, but he was really frightened, "Little Fatty Sun," He asked, "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "Your knife!" The second fool pointed at his waist through his clothes: "What are you doing with this knife?" Only now did Little Fatty Sun know his secret, and he had accidentally leaked it, his expression changed, knowing that it would be even more inappropriate not to admit to carrying a knife, so he covered it up and said: "Don't you know that I am in a lawsuit with someone?" The second fool knew about this.Fatty Sun bought a house outside Di'anmen, and a dispute arose. The original owner filed a lawsuit with the Industrial Inspection Bureau, which is currently under trial.However, why use a knife in a lawsuit?

"It's not a lawsuit with a knife, who are you going to kill?" Fatty Sun said calmly: "The owner of the house is a gangster from Tianjin Wei. He told people that if they want to kill me, I have to guard against it without a knife." The words seem to be reasonable, but it is a serious crime to be forbidden to hold a murder weapon. The second idiot heard someone talk about it. Fatty Sun once told Cui Yugui that he would not take his life, so he was suspicious and frightened, and he didn't fall asleep all night. The next morning, I was talking quietly with my colleagues, and someone who knew about his lawsuit said, "What kind of gangster in Tianjin? He is an orphan and widow, and Fatty Sun is bullying others. It's fine if he doesn't kill others. How dare they kill him?" This can prove that Fatty Sun has evil intentions and will cause big trouble.Once this misfortune broke out, all the people around the emperor would be bound to the House of Internal Affairs for interrogation.Among them, a person who is sensible and well-informed said that Fatty Sun must have been instructed by Cui Yugui to do such a rebellious thing, and the Empress Dowager Cixi must not know the inside story. .In case it was ordered by the Empress Dowager Cixi, then in order to cover people's eyes and ears, it must be dealt with more strictly.Anyway, Fatty Sun finally killed everyone! "Then what shall we do?" Several people said in unison. "There's only one way..." This method is to seek help from Li Lianying.So the discussion was over, and people were sent to wait near the emperor's palace.One day when they found Li Lianying passing by, they immediately informed everyone to gather, stopped Li Lianying, knelt down together, and the two idiots reported: "Uncle Li, we can't survive! Only Uncle Li can't save lives!" Li Lianying was shocked, "What is it, what is it?" He asked, "Get up and talk." "Fatty Sun has a knife on him." "Ah!" Li Lianying also changed color, "Stop talking nonsense!" "What kind of nonsense is this?" The second fool said, "If you don't believe Uncle Li, you can search him." Seeing this scene, knowing that this is true, Li Lianying naturally couldn't listen to the fool's idea, she pondered for a while and said: "Don't say anything, I have my own ideas." Li Lianying's idea is to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot and talk to Cui Yugui.Of course he couldn't say that it was Sun Xiaopang's colleague who informed him. He used rumors outside the palace that Sun Xiaopang had a knife on him.But since I have said this, I have to investigate it, otherwise, it may reach the ears of Empress Dowager Cixi, "I will check it when Lafayette asks, Yugui," He said: "Our errand is gone!" Cui Yugui was also secretly startled, he didn't expect Little Fatty Sun to be so ignorant, he immediately nodded and said: "Check! Check! I will definitely check!" This time, Fatty Sun didn't dare to make a move for a while, but the hidden danger was still there.In the end, Zhao Shouhe, the chief eunuch in Concubine Jin's Palace, came up with an idea.He knew that Su Wang Shanqi was the most loyal to the emperor among his relatives, so he suggested to discuss with Shanqi. Everyone agreed with this discussion, and logically, Zhao Shouhe was publicly recommended to carry it out, and he also felt that it was his duty to accept it.But how?You can't go to see King Su and tell the story directly, there is always someone to introduce you.And the person to be introduced must be a person who has enough friendship on his own side and can share secrets on King Su's side. Asked for leave to go out of the palace, went back to the apartment, just entered the alley, saw a family, was overjoyed, slapped himself on the head, and thought to himself: "What a fool! There is a way out there, why can't I remember it." The owner of this family is Tian Jiyun, a famous actress who is popular in Nine Cities and enshrined in the inner court.Zhao Shouhe is a very familiar "neighbor" with him.Tian Jiyun's real name is Ruilin, and he sings Danjiao. He was born with a good voice that seems to be able to break several verses when throwing the ground, so he got a nickname, "Xiang Jiuxiao", and later changed it to "Xiang Jiuxiao", which means "Xiang Jiuxiao". What's more, don't have any deep meaning. It turns out that Tian Jiyun is in the Liyuan, and he is deeply ashamed of giving out wine and treating him like a plaything, so he keeps himself clean and strives to be the best.He is generous and righteous, and can be anxious for others.At that time, it was said that "those who are good at the top must be very good at the bottom", because the Empress Dowager Cixi liked to sing operas, and many relatives and nobles liked this way and liked to deal with people in the Liyuan. Tian Jiyun was "selected" in the eighteenth year of Guangxu Those who go to the palace are all familiar with close friends and relatives, and the friendship with Su Wang Shanqi's brothers is even more different. Shanqi has a younger brother named Shanyu, who is a famous young man in the capital. He is known as the "Second Master Shan".Zhao Shouhe used Tian Jiyun's relationship to deal with "Second Master Shan". The idea was made up, but I didn't dare to make a visit, so I sent a follower to say: "I don't know that Boss Tian is busy, my uncle wants to come and visit." Tian Jiyun thought to himself, Zhao Shouhe is a very acquainted person, whenever he came back from the palace, he would drop by casually, so there was no need to introduce him that time, but now he has such an unusual question, there must be something wrong Xiangshang, immediately replied, "I'll see Mr. Zhao!" So when the visitor arrived at Zhao's house, Zhao Shouhe led him into the inner room, kicked out his relatives and family members, closed the middle door himself, and then began to speak. "Boss Tian, ​​you can save the emperor!" Tian Jiyun was taken aback, "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao," he said, "How do you say that?" "It's something you never thought of again..." Zhao Shouhe explained in detail how Fatty Sun hid the weapon and had ulterior motives. "So stupid!" Tian Jiyun couldn't hold his tongue, "Could it be that his heart hasn't died yet?" "Who knows? It's like a snake coiled under the bed. It might appear at any time." Tian Jiyun nodded and asked: "Then, Mr. Zhao, how do you think I can work for the emperor?" "We all have a public discussion. Only King Su can take care of this matter. Boss Tian, ​​don't you have a very close friendship with Second Master Shan?" "That's right, but..." Tian Jiyun pondered and said, "It's useless to go to Second Master Shan for this matter. Lord Su never allowed him to ask about matters in the palace. In my opinion, we have to go to Mr. Wang." "That Mr. Wang?" "Isn't it Wang Zhao, Wang Xiaohang?" "Oh, it's him." Zhao Shouhe asked, "You know him too?" "I know, but I'm not. But it's all for the emperor, so it doesn't matter if you don't know each other well. Anyway, it's the most appropriate for him to talk to Lord Su about this matter." "Yes! Then when should I go to see Mr. Wang?" "What a matter of urgency! Naturally, let's do it. Let's go!" So, they took a car together and visited Wang Zhao at night.He no longer lives in King Su's mansion, and King Su settled down in Nanchizi for him.Hearing that Tian Jiyun brought a stranger to visit, he was very surprised, but he had heard Tian Jiyun's chivalrous name for a long time, so he knew that he had no malicious intentions, so he came out calmly. "Mr. Wang," Tian Jiyun pointed to Zhao Shouhe and asked, "Do you recognize this one?" "Excuse me, I don't seem to have seen it before." "He is in charge of Concubine Jin's Palace, his surname is Zhao." "Mr. Wang," said Zhao Shouhe, "My name is Zhao Shouhe." "Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it!" Wang Zhao hesitated for a while: "You two will visit at night, you must have something to say, here I am..." Tian Jiyun planned it out on the way. It's not advisable to talk about such a top-secret matter anywhere, for fear of leaking the secret, and it will take a lot of time, so he replied at this time: "Mr. I can't say enough, I just ask Mr. Wang to excuse me, I will go to Su Wang's mansion, and we will talk about it after seeing the prince. You can keep watching, okay?" "Boss Tian," Wang Zhao asked, "Aren't you also a regular visitor to Prince Su's Mansion?" "Yes. I can take Mr. Zhao to see King Su, of course, but for this matter to be discussed, Lord Su must ask Mr. Wang to be his counselor." "Oh!" Wang Zhao immediately agreed, "So, I have to accompany you. Wait for me to change clothes." Putting on a mandarin jacket, Wang Zhao accompanied Tian and Zhao to Su Wang's mansion.Although Zhao Shouhe has not been here, Tian Jiyun and Wang Zhao are regular visitors, and the guards lead them until they go to the room. "It's so late, you're still here! How did you meet together? It's rare!" "Return to the prince," Tian Jiyun said: "There is still someone outside who wants to see the prince. It is Zhao Shouhe, the chief eunuch in Concubine Jin's palace." "What is this man looking for me for?" "My lord!" Wang Zhao said, "I don't think we need to talk about it here!" "Oh!" Shanqi understood: "Jiyun, you accompany Mr. Wang and take that Zhao to the foreign building, and I will come right away." Su Wang's Mansion is in Dongjiaomin Lane, facing the Imperial Academy Wangheng in the north, and embassies of various countries in the south.In the Rebellion of the Xinyou Year, Dong Fuxiang led the Gan army to encircle Dongjiaomin Lane. The troops sent by various countries to guard the embassy organized a specific and small "Eight-Power Allied Forces". It was once a zone of fierce battle.Later, the Gan army set fire to the Hanlin Academy, and Su Wang's mansion suffered from the catastrophe. Only a piece of ruins remained in this mansion that lasted for more than two hundred years. After the rebellion, Shanqi built a small three-story western-style building in the East Garden. It was not for sightseeing, but the western-style building was solid and tight, with solid thick brick walls, not to mention that the partition wall had ears.When Shanqi and Wang Zhao want to talk about "how to protect the emperor", they must be on the third floor of this small western-style building. The servant led the three of them here, and another book boy who was on duty in the forbidden area picked them up, took them to the third floor, made some tea, and went downstairs without saying a word. Due to the mysterious atmosphere, Zhao Shouhe didn't dare to say a word, just listened silently, and soon heard the sound of the escalator, getting closer and closer, first stood up and stood up, Wang Zhao also stood up, Tian Jiyun rushed forward Open the door curtain, wait for Shanqi to enter the door, and then introduce him. "He's in Concubine Jin's Palace, but he wasn't sent by Concubine Jin." "Slave Zhao Shouhe, greet the lord." Zhao Shouhe squatted down and greeted both of them. "Sit down!" Shanqi said as he sat down on an easy chair. Wang Zhao sat down, but Zhao Shouhe naturally didn't dare, so Tian Jiyun could only stand with him. "It doesn't matter, you sit down too." "How about it!" Tian Jiyun fetched two small stools beside the bookcase, and sat down side by side with Zhao Shouhe. "Xiao Hang, tell me!" "I don't even know what's going on!" Wang Zhao turned around and replied, "You have to ask them both." "I'm a poor eloquent," Zhao Shouhe said, "Boss Tian, ​​please tell me the reason." "Okay!" Tian Jiyun said: "There is a eunuch named Sun Jingfu in the Emperor's Palace, Cui Yugui's apprentice, with a knife on his body..." Before he finished speaking, Shanqi's eyes were wide open, and his throat said: "Ah!" Then he opened his voice and sang the anti-erhuang rocker: "Listen to a word to scare the soul out!" Tian Jiyun and Wang Zhao are familiar with each other, expressionless, but Zhao Shouhe is at a loss, thinking in his heart: who said Su Wang is a movie fan?It's just a phlegm fan. Su Wang Shanqi ignored his expression, and waited until the lingering voice had finished the accent of the word "soul", before he said nonchalantly, "Ji Yun, please continue!" So Tian Jiyun found out that Sun Jingfu was carrying a knife, and when he talked about the night visit to Wang Zhao, Zhao Shouhe had to add it.It took half an hour to finish talking. Not only did Shanqi frown upon hearing this story, but Wang Zhao also felt worried, and said with a fearful expression, "My lord, it's really time for the Qing emperor to side!" "Be calm!" Shanqi waved his hand to Wang Zhao, and asked Zhao Shouhe, "What's the nickname of that Sun Jingfu you mentioned?" "It's Fatty Sun." Upon hearing this, Shanqi's brows and eyes widened immediately, "It's him!" He leaned back on the chair comfortably and said. Seeing this scene, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, Tian Jiyun said with a smile: "My lord must have a trick up his sleeve again!" "There is a plan, but I don't know if it is good or not. Let's wait and see!" "So, when will you listen to me?" "Anyway, Fatty Sun has skins and plums under his skin, and it will be fine in three to five days." Shanqi replied, "I don't know if my plan is difficult to do? You have to wait for the letter in a hurry, so you might as well come a few more times. " "Yes!" Tian Jiyun said, "I come every day." "Okay! That's all." At this time Zhao Shouhe had stood up, after he finished speaking, please thank An, Tian Jiyun left immediately, and Wang Zhao just nodded to indicate that he wanted to stay there, of course he still had something to say to Shanqi. "My lord," he said after Tian Jiyun took Zhao Shouhe downstairs, "there is a story about Zhuge Wuhou. Kong Ming followed Mr. Liu in Jingzhou under the fence of Yiren. Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi, was taboo by his stepmother. Kong Ming asked advice. Kong Ming didn’t want to take care of people’s housework, and always avoided it. Once Liu Qi deceived Kong Ming upstairs and asked someone to remove the escalator, saying that there were only the two of us here. , there is absolutely no second person to know, you should say it!" "Why do you think of such a story?" Shanqi said with a smile: "I think it was a scene of secret discussions in our small building, which is a bit similar to the situation at that time." "Yes! That's how I got the idea..." "Wait a minute," Shanqi interrupted him, "Let me think about it, there is such a paragraph." "Yes! It's also available on the Internet." Shanqi thought about it carefully, and remembered, "Kong Ming got his idea from "Warring States Policy". He told Liu Qi, 'Shen Sheng is in danger inside, and Chong'er is safe outside!'" He asked: " right?" "Exactly! The prince has a really good memory." "Although the memory is good, the comprehension is not good. Xiaohang, I don't understand what you mean by this. Do you want the emperor to be Duke Wen of Jin?" Wang Zhao immediately interjected: "Why not?" Shanqi shook his head, "I don't see it happening!" He asked, "How can the emperor fly high?" "I heard that Qu Tinggui, a western doctor who took the emperor's pulse, said that the emperor would recover if he recuperated in another place. If the prince agrees, I will use my sharp tongue to persuade Qu Tinggui to speak out openly. , and then please work together to make suggestions on the road of speech. In this way, if there is a prince to preside over it, it may be expected to succeed. Even if it fails, it can also make those with ulterior motives scruples." Shanqi was ashamed to talk about his views as a scholar.Because Wang Zhao is so clever, if one of the ten strategies works well, it must be a good one. If the words are too blunt, it will dampen his interest, and he will lose his brains, so he deliberately pretended to be very serious and said: "This is the matter. Big body, Xiaohang, you have to give me the rest of your time." "Of course, of course! Please think carefully, my lord!" "Think carefully and think carefully." Shanqi sang smoothly: "Yasi Chen Ping Wang Xiaohang!" Stopped the end, got up and said: "Go downstairs! I invite you to eat the big golden hair and purple back that are not available in Zhengyang Tower. Crab." ※ ※ ※ Under the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there is only the Industrial Inspection and Donation Bureau, but there is no Industrial Inspection Bureau.The Labor Patrol Bureau is in charge of miscellaneous taxes such as flower donations, tobacco shop tax, business tax, vehicle donations, etc., which are used as salaries for patrol camps. As for the Industrial Patrol Bureau, it has not had this name since three years ago. Originally from the Rebellion of the Xinyou Year, the order of the capital was extremely bad. Therefore, following Yuan Shikai's method in Tianjin, it recruited stragglers, changed it to patrol police, protected the market, and also carried out road repair projects. It was named "General Bureau of Industry and Inspection".In the 31st year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, the Industry and Patrol Bureau was upgraded to the Patrol Department, and the new official regulations were promulgated. Whether it is the main office or a branch office, it is called the Industrial Inspection Bureau. The sub-office that governs the Di'anmen area is the middle office of the three sub-offices in the inner city, and the title of the supervisor is the governor.Yang Bofang, the governor of Zhongting, was born in a proper way, and he should be an official under the new official system, but what he yearns for is the prestige of the patrolling censor in the old official system.Before the Industrial Inspection Bureau, the ground of the capital was divided into five cities and ten squares, and the five officers were in charge of "settling their prison lawsuits, interrogating their rape, and suppressing their theft". She, with great power and integrity, is just enough to become the nemesis of the evil slaves of the rich and powerful.There is a well-known story in the Jiaqing period: Xie Zhending, a senior from Zeng Guofan’s hometown, was the censor of Dongcheng in the first year of Jiaqing. When he was on the tour, he met a very gorgeous blue wool car with the rear gear. dodge.Xie Zhen decided to stop the car around, and asked about the owner, he was the younger brother of He Shen's favorite concubine, and his identity was still only a member of the Xiangfu's family.Xie Zhending has known for a long time that this person is tyrannical and looks sideways, and has long wanted to punish him, now that he has thrown himself into a trap, how can he be lenient?After hitting the board on the street, he burned the rear frame of the car on Wangfujing Street for "riding in violation of the regulations". At that time, although Emperor Gaozong had already become the supreme emperor, he was still in power, so Heshen's momentum remained the same.In his heart, Emperor Si praised Xie Zhending's fearlessness of the powerful, but he had to uphold the "edict" of the Supreme Emperor and ordered Xie Zhending to "report the truth". How could he "ride a car against the regulations"?The car was burned, so how can you "report the truth"!As a result, he was dismissed from his post, and he did not recover until "Heshen fell" in the fourth year of Jiaqing. Yang Bofang had a crush on the former sages, and wanted to be a "City Patrolling Censor" with a strong character, but there were many internal affairs officials and eunuchs outside Di'an Gate, which was just a test of his character.However, he did not expect that the one who tested him was not an eunuch, let alone an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but Su Wang Shanqi, an official of the Ministry. "Sun Jingfu's case, your brother needs to help him!" Hearing a prince call him "old brother", Yang Bofang couldn't help being flattered, and he felt disgusted when he was asked to favor Sun Jingfu.In such a complicated state of mind, I don't know what to answer. Shanqi was always humble, so he said: "You are doing me a favor!" "Don't dare, dare not!" Yang Bofang calmed down and said, "This case is really embarrassing, and there is a tendency that there is nothing we can do to help." Then he talked about the case.Sun Jingfu bought a house on Mawei Xie Street outside Di'anmen, the owner mortgaged it first and then sold it, but he had no choice but to cut off the property.The deed originally stated that if he was unable to redeem it at the maturity date, he could pay interest and extend the limit, but Sun Jingfu took advantage of the danger and had to force the landlord to redeem it.As a result, the price was found to be sold out. Of course, the search was not enough. Sun Jingfu has already taken advantage, but he is still not satisfied.It turned out that the owner kept two houses for himself, but Sun Jingfu wanted to buy these two houses at a low price because of the boxy site, which lacked a corner and did not form a pattern.The homeowner begged for a price increase, but Sun Jingfu ignored it and sealed off a common road, cutting off the family's way out.The homeowner couldn't bear it anymore, jumped out of the wall, and reported to Yang Bofang that Sun Jingfu had been ordered to unseal the lane, and he ignored it after the time limit, and sent patrols to open the lane. "If you go back to the lord, the deadline is coming soon. When the time comes, Sun Jingfu will ignore it, and the hall will not send anyone to unseal it. Not only will the prestige be ruined, but the order will be invalid, and the owner will have no way to get in and out. He will definitely come to sue. The lord thinks, at that time What should I do?" "The words are true." Shanqi said: "The only way to get rid of the fire is to persuade them to reconcile." "Reconciliation is not a one-sided matter. If Sun Jingfu is willing to buy someone else's house at the market price, the owner has no reason not to sell it!" "It's not fair, it's not fair! Don't ask Sun Jingfu about this matter, it's not interesting to ask him." Yang Bofang became more and more disgusted, and was quite confused, wondering why he wanted to protect Sun Jingfu like this.Although he said nothing, his face did not hide his dissatisfaction. Shanqi naturally saw it, knowing that Yang Bofang would not give in unless he explained the effect, so he revealed some secrets slightly. "Let me tell you the truth, you are doing the emperor a favor! I want to show Sun Jingfu a favor so that he can teach him to serve the emperor well. Your brother understands now!" I understand it, but I am quite dissatisfied in my heart, but in order to take the overall situation into consideration, I have to think of a way.After thinking for a while, I had a calculation. "I can only try to compensate." He said: "I will fill in the name of the handyman in the hall for the plaintiff, and tell him to sell the house and rent another house." "Okay, okay! This is very appropriate. Just ask my brother to take the trouble to do it quickly!" Therefore, Yang Bofang sent someone to talk to the landlord, and there was no reason why he would not agree.Unexpectedly, Sun Jingfu lost the lawsuit, but got his wish.What's surprising is that Governor Yang always likes to fight against eunuchs, so why is he so condescending before and then turning back on what he says? After inquiring carefully, I found out that it was Su Wang's great mediation. Of course, I was very moved, and I took a day off, put on his six-rank costume, prepared filial gifts, and went to Su Wang's mansion to have an audience. There was another accident, an oracle was delivered at the door, and he was received in the new study.The so-called new study room is the uppermost floor of the small western-style building in East Garden.After Sun Jingfu kowtowed his head and thanked him, Shanqi said: "Little Fatty Sun, I want to ask you something, you have to tell the truth." "yes!" "Let me ask you, you are working in the emperor's palace, do you have a knife on you?" Sun Jingfu's face changed drastically, but seeing that there was no malice on Shanqi's face, he had an idea, "Who did the prince listen to?" He said firmly, "There is absolutely no such thing." "really?" "Really! I dare not bully the prince!" "Sure enough?" Shanqi's theater fans offended again. "If the prince doesn't believe it, I can swear it." "Alright!" Shanqi nodded, "You swear, I'll listen!" So Sun Jingfu looked at it, knelt down facing a Zhu painting "Infinite Life Buddha" hanging on the west wall, and said loudly: "I, Sun Jingfu, have returned to Lord Su, and will never serve the emperor with a murderous weapon. Forget it, teach me, Sun Jingfu, to strike the sky with lightning, and the entire family will die!" His words were like stir-fried beans, and he spoke very quickly, but the words were true, and he was indeed swearing in a hurry.Shanqi listened to every word in his ears, thinking that eunuchs can't have children, the most taboo is the phrase "extinct species", and Sun Jingfu used it to swear, which shows that he is afraid that others will not believe it.However, it is obvious in the tone that he will not carry a murder weapon in front of the emperor in the future, which does not mean that he has never been like this, and it also shows that the words that someone saw him with a knife in the past are true. "Okay! Sun Jingfu, as long as you say what you say, you are lucky." Shanqi suddenly asked, "What do you usually like to play?" Sun Jingfu was stunned for a moment, and he had to think for a while to understand what he said, "I like to visit the temple market in my spare time," he said, "Look at the novelty and cute little ornaments." "Oh, 'novel and cute'!" Shanqi thought for a while, then raised his eyebrows and said: "Yes! Come downstairs with me." After finishing speaking, Shanqi went downstairs first, followed by Sun Jingfu, walked and looked all the way, and saw a large empty room on the second floor, with a huge full-length mirror on the west wall, and a row of mirrors along the wall on the north. A large wooden box with a hanging mouth, boots, horsewhip, etc., as well as racks for knives and guns, and a carpet on the floor, I know it is a particular "box office". Going down is the ground floor, a dining room and a sitting room.Shanqi sat down and told the book boy: "Bring the big wooden box that Mr. Duan gave you!" The box made of boxwood is about a foot high, eight or nine inches wide, and more than three feet long, with a brass handle on the top.After the bookboy brought it up and put it on the table, Sun Jingfu saw four engraved and filled in blue seal characters "Baimei Zodiac" on the side drawer. Shanqi stood up and inspected the small lock on the drawer first, then turned and scolded with a smile: "Little monkey, did you peek?" "No!" The book boy protested in denial. "It's not bad! I deliberately locked the lock backwards. The keyhole is on the left. Now it's along the lock. Who else is not you?" The book boy blushed immediately, and said with a sly smile: "I saw it, but I didn't show it!" "Bastard thing, you have the nerve to say it!" While scolding, Shanqi unlocked the lock with the key tied to the copper ring, and opened the drawer. Inside were eight clay figurines with different identities and postures. There were young women in the prime of life; young ladies with undiminished charm; The jasper at Pengmen and the warbler in Quxiang, sitting or lying down, have a very beautiful posture. For a while, you can see it all over, but you can't bear to look at it, Sun Jingfu is so happy that his heart is in a mess. "Take it out and have a look!" According to his words, Sun Jingfu reached out and took one. It was a "bride" with a phoenix coronet and a xiapei sitting with her head bowed.During the play, I suddenly discovered the secret. Looking upside down, under the cover of the skirt, two bare thighs were exposed.Sun Jingfu suddenly realized that it was no wonder King Su had such a conversation with his book boy, the master and servant were playing a cunning joke. "How about it?" Shanqi said with a smile, "It's novel and cute enough, isn't it?" "This is much better than Yang Liuqing's Chunhuaer!" Sun Jingfu asked, "Where did the prince get this thing?" "Master Liang Jiangduan sent it." "So it must be something from Wuxi Huishan." "That's right, it's custom-made!" Shanqi pointed to the wooden box and said, "Take it home and play with it!" "Yes!" Sun Jingfu put down the clay figurine in his hands, and greeted him with a smile: "Thank you, my lord, for your reward." "It's not a reward for you, it's a gift in return. Why did you spend money to buy some food? I thought I wouldn't accept it, but I was afraid that you would be paranoid and thought it would not give you face." "It's enough for the lord to reward the servant with face! The servant is grateful." "Don't talk about it! I just hope you can do your job well!" ※ ※ ※ Not long after Sun Jingfu left, Tian Jiyun came, and then Wang Zhao also arrived without haste.The host and guest still meet at the East Garden Mansion. "Success!" Shanqi said, "There will be no further troubles. It's just that Governor Yang is afraid of being unhappy." "After listening to what he said, both Wang and Tian were very pleased. "Boss Tian," Wang Zhao said: "This time, you have explained to Eunuch Zhao!" "It's not just about explaining, he must be grateful to me. This is the benefit of the prince rewarding me." "Yes, yes! What's the benefit? But I hope everything is safe, so you can rest easy." Shanqi asked again, "Are you busy today?" "Yes! There is a church meeting in Nancheng." Tian Jiyun looked at the clock and said in surprise, "Hey! It's getting late, I have to leave quickly, otherwise, I will call Tian'er 'Queen of the Horse' again. I have been here for a while. Back, he complained a lot, so I can't come back again!" When it came to drama, how could Shanqi refuse to ask, "What happened last time?" He said: "You don't want to fight for this moment, just go after you finish speaking!" The last time Tan Xinpei and Tian Jiyun co-starred in "Si Lang Visits His Mother", "Yang Yanhui" had already played, and "Princess Iron Mirror" didn't know where it was, so the manager jumped in a hurry, so he had to take care of the inspector, and passed a secret signal to Tan Xinpei "Queen of the Horse"—delay as much as possible. Tan Xinpei had no choice but to write "I'm like" on the left and "I'm like" on the right. He composed and sang about 30 "I'm like" in total. It was Tian Jiyun who missed the show, but the layman felt surprised. He didn't understand why Tan Xinpei took the extra risk on this day? But no matter the insider or the layman, they felt that this day was really lucky, but it was the same. The audience is happy, the stage is bitter, "compare" to "comparison", not only there is no way, even Xipi's three-eyed accent has been exhausted.Fortunately, Tian Jiyun had already arrived, put on his make-up in a hurry, and arrived at the gate with the "God of Joy" in his arms, so Yang Silang had to turn his eyes away from his three eyes. "Fortunately, 'Calling Tianer' had a good voice that day, and the more he sang, the smoother he sang, he got a lot of cheers. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of him. Well, I have to go. Mr. Xiaohang, please talk to the prince!" The same is true of Wang Zhao's original intention. He has a thought that has been hovering in his mind for a long time, and he has long wanted to say that there is no chance for suffering, and this day cannot be let go. "My lord," he asked, "is your fire brigade doing well?" "Excellent!" Shanqi immediately beamed with joy, "It's just like the official army! Every three and eight hit swans, come and see when you come, it's really a hundred hits." "My lord told me before that the purpose of training this fire brigade is to put out fires in the name of emergency, and enter the palace to protect the emperor. Am I right?" "correct." "Since this is the case, if it is found out that the Empress Dowager is unable to recover from her illness, the prince should lead the fire brigade to Nanhaizi, Yingtai rescue her, support the emperor to ascend to the main hall, summon the princes and ministers, and preside over the government personally. Who would dare not obey? If the Empress Dowager dies, if you think about it again, you may be behind." "Absolutely not! If you don't see the will first, you can't enter the palace. The regulations of the Qing Dynasty are stricter for us relatives than ministers with different surnames. If you make a wrong step, you will be punished with death." "The queen mother is not dead, where will there be a decree to call the prince into the palace?" "No way, no way!" Shanqi shook his head greatly, "The method you copied from the Ming Dynasty is useless!" "Why didn't it work? Wasn't the 'Change of Seizing the Door' a success?" "The situation is different. The restoration of the Ming Yingzong was successful because there were people inside to support it. Besides, the 'Nangong' was in the outer dynasty. Now people and places are not suitable, and it will never succeed!" "To do such a big event, there is no perfect plan. If you don't take risks, how can you succeed?" "Knowing it won't work, why take the risk?" Shanqi stood up, not intending to continue the conversation. Wang Zhao was unavoidably upset, but Shanqi was unavoidably apologetic.Both the host and guest lowered their heads and went downstairs slowly. Halfway through, Shanqi suddenly turned around and looked up with a smile on his face.Wang Zhao was overjoyed, thinking that he had other plans, so he waited carefully for him to speak. "Here's a piece of news, you must be delighted to hear it!" Shanqi said, "Uncle Yang Xin stumbled, and I'm afraid he'll never get up again!" Yang Xinbo was Yang Chongyi, who initiated the 1898 coup and caused a catastrophe.The news that this new party's arch-enemy has stumbled is something Wang Zhao likes to hear, so he asked anxiously, "How did you stumble?" "According to the decree: Immediately dismissed from office, never dismissed, handed over to Changshu local officials for strict control." "Good guy!" Wang Zhao stuck out his tongue, "Why is there such a strict order?" "There are even more strict words, 'If you don't know how to restrain yourself and interfere in all local affairs, you will be punished strictly according to the bad deeds you committed, so as to punish the stubborn.'" "This...," Wang Zhao asked, "What kind of bad deed is it? It seems to be serious!" "Not only is it not light, but it is also very despicable. If you want to listen to this piece of news, I have to take a good drink to soothe the filth." So Wang Zhao stayed for a drink with Shanqi, and drank with Yang Chongyi's news.
