Chapter 63 Pick-up

"How could it be injured, who did it, how could it be ......like this" In the Duanben Palace, Zhu Cihong surrounded Chang Yu's side, his brows furrowed, his face was worried and slightly angry, and his mouth kept chattering.

"The rivers and lakes are sinister, knives are commonplace, how can it be what you can think of in the palace" Chang Yu smiled, Linglong was holding her teeth and stitching up the wound for him, she couldn't understand why a good imperial doctor didn't have to treat it himself, why did he still use needles to stitch it up, didn't he just sprinkle some hemostatic medicine and wrap it.

Chang Yu just lightly explained, "Suturing the wound will heal faster", but there is no anesthetic, and the suturing wound is really painful. In fact, there are anesthetics in this era, and more than 1,600 years earlier in Western medicine, our ancestor Hua Tuo invented a special surgical operation of anesthesia, but unfortunately it was lost later, but many Chinese medicine still have other formulas that are similar, but these anesthetics need to be taken with wine, Chang Yu does not like wine, and does not like the smell of medicine, and the wound is not very serious, so he refuses anesthesia.

"Then you really need to be careful in your actions in the future, don't be so careless, if you want to have an accident, I, I don't know how to be good" Although Zhu Cihong's words were a little full of emotion, Chang Yu could see and feel that his words came from the bottom of his heart, after all, he was really Zhu Cihong's spiritual sustenance at this moment, and even Queen Zhou was too.

Chang Yu was a little moved, and smiled at Zhu Cihong: "I know, you can rest assured, by the way, you went to collect debts today, did you get it?" ”

At the mention of these words, Zhu Cihong's expression changed, and he was a little excited and mixed with a little anger: "Zhu and Li are old dogs, saying that there is no cash at home, so they will give 5,000 taels first, and the rest need to be forgiven a few days to sell the property to pay off the debt...... My aunt and I didn't allow it, and only after making a fuss did we give another 5,000, even if they asked for 10,000 each, the total was only 40,000 taels, but Xu Yunzhen and Song Yude quickly cleared the account."

Chang Yu laughed when he heard it: "Which of these nobles is not an old fritter, when the emperor asked them to donate their salaries, they all played fine, crying poorly, if they took out tens of thousands of gambling debts, wouldn't it be a slap in the face, so what grace time, selling property is to add drama to themselves, as for Xu, the Song couple are so happy just because they owe less, if it is tens of thousands of taels, it is not enough to say that the drama is more sufficient."

Zhu Cihong couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "If it was before, I would naturally believe them, but now...... Hmph" said suddenly, and his face sank again: "I think my father is so tired of playing tricks with these old fritters every day."

"The identity of the emperor is different, and you have to pay attention to decency when you play tricks with them, you are different, who he is, he owes debts and repays money, and if he doesn't give it, he will make trouble, Ming'er, you will bring someone over, if you don't give it, you will smash it, and you will be able to get it within three days!"

"Hehe, I think so too, to be honest, I'm going over now" Zhu Cihong's eyes lit up, and his face was full of impatience.

"Come on, you're going to continue singing tonight, and I'm going to move, by the way, are you ready over there?"

"Everything is ready," Zhu Cihong said with a straight face.

The question of how many treasures there are in the palace has different answers in different eras, but the answers are the same, that is, a lot, a lot, a lot of things.

The number of cultural relics in the Forbidden City is now more than 1.8 million sets, which is already appalling, but this number is after the British and French forces invaded the Forbidden City, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded, and the period of the small palace (Pu Yi moved out of the Forbidden City during the period, the eunuchs stole and deliberately set fire to the treasure house in order to cover up the inventory, and it was estimated that 2,665 golden Buddhas, 1,157 pieces of calligraphy and painting, 435 pieces of antiques, and tens of thousands of ancient books. Statistics after the Japanese invasion of China and the relocation of cultural relics to Taiwan (more than 230,000 pieces).

It can be seen how huge the number of palace treasures in the Qing Dynasty was, but compared to the 400-year foundation of the Ming Dynasty, it was a bird feather, not to mention that the middle also experienced the three light plundering of the palace by thieves, although most of them still returned to the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the end, but after all, most of the left people are missing, so the Ming Palace at this time is the real treasure house.

In the harem, in the past few days, Empress Zhou personally ordered to preside over a huge inventory of treasures and sealing operations, mainly for calligraphy and painting, porcelain, gold and jade, etc., immediately after the inventory, and it is 24 hours a day and night uninterrupted work.

Empress Zhou personally ordered, but it was the celebrant who came forward to supervise and co-ordinate, after all, this matter of the harem, the celebrant is similar to the Qing Dynasty's internal affairs office, which is specialized in this work.

After all, it is to coordinate the treasures of the palace, and it needs a trustworthy person to assist, if it is usually this errand must be done by Wang Chengen, but at this moment, Lao Wang has no time to accompany Chongzhen every day, not to mention that Zhou Yufeng has the intention to do this thing secretly, and let Chang Yu take charge in public and private.

Although Chang Yu does not have any official position in the ceremonial supervisor, none of the more than 10,000 eunuchs and palace maids in the palace know that he can sit on an equal footing with Wang Chengen, and he is deeply favored by the prince and the queen.

In a word, in the matter of coordinating the treasures of the palace, Queen Zhou is responsible for saying, and Chang Yu is in charge.

It was dark, the imperial city was locked, and the harem was about to close, Chang Yu took Chunxiang, Jiang Chun and Lao Hu and hurriedly entered the harem and went straight to Kunning Palace.

After the report, they immediately entered the palace, and the three of Chunxiang stood outside the hall.

The hall is warm and deserted, there is not a single eunuch and palace maid, this is the norm, as long as Chang Yu comes, it is extremely confidential with what Queen Zhou said, so naturally outsiders are not allowed to be present.

But tonight there are some exceptions, is she an outsider? Chang Yu looked at Zhu Yujiao, who was sitting next to Empress Zhou, with a faint smile on her face, well, although she didn't know the inside story, but after all, she was the emperor's daughter, and she couldn't be considered an outsider, since she was not an outsider, she was an insider, well, an insider, an insider, not bad......

Zhu Yujiao stared curiously at the white and capable eunuch in front of her, since entering the hall, the expression of the little eunuch is really rich, first with a solemn face, and then his eyes lit up after seeing her, and then a faint smile emanated from his face, well, it looks good when she smiles, but even so, it is still difficult to make her feel good.

After all, it is Queen Zhou's own flesh and blood, after all, it is a mother-daughter relationship, although Zhou Yufeng remembers Chang Yu's advice and does not pass on the second ear, but he always can't help but sigh to his daughter, intentionally or unintentionally, that the old Zhu family is in big trouble, it is the kind of big trouble that the sky is about to fall.

But no matter how Zhu Yujiao asked, Zhou Yufeng just didn't pick it out, just sighed every day, or secretly felt sad, and washed her face with tears, which made the already sentimental princess's heart burn.

Today, it was dinner time, she came to Kunning Palace to accompany her mother to relieve her boredom, and suddenly heard the eunuch on duty inform Chang Yu's father-in-law that he wanted to see her, so Queen Zhou, who was originally depressed, suddenly seemed to have come to the spirit and immediately summoned: "Invite him in" and ordered that no one except Chang Yu should enter the palace.

Who is Chang Yu? Zhu Yujiao was a little surprised, it is impossible for other men to enter the harem at this point, it can only be a eunuch, but when did the queen mother be so respectful to a eunuch and use the word please.

Curious, I asked Queen Zhou, but she still didn't get any answer, just listened to Zhou Yufeng say: "The only stranger who can solve the trouble!" ”

Eunuch Inhuman? What the hell, Zhu Yujiao's brows were squeezed into waves.

The beauty frowned, it was not interesting, Chang Yu was excited to see it, but he also knew the purpose of this trip, so he had to forcibly withdraw his gaze, otherwise it would not be good to be regarded as a disciple and affect his tall image in the eyes of the beautiful young lady.

"Say hello to the queen, please say hello to Princess Changping" Chang Yu is very knowledgeable about the general courtesy.

"Father-in-law Chang doesn't need these vulgar courtesies" Queen Zhou got up and approached and stretched out her hand to help him, her face solemn: "Is the matter done?" ”

"You can do it tonight," Chang Yu glanced at Zhu Yujiao, who was confused, and said, "How is the queen's side?" ”

"This matter is secret and special, for your convenience, the token and holy decree specially requested by the palace from the emperor's side, you can enter and exit the palace and even the harem at will for the time being, as for the outer city token, the prince has already handed it over to you," Queen Zhou said and took a token and handed it to Chang Yu.

The token is made of copper, with two words forbidden on the front and entry and exit on the reverse. The holy decree is just four big words: If I come in person, and then stamp the royal seal!

"And another?" Chang Yu finished reading.

Oh, by the way, don't you say that the palace almost forgot, Zhou Yufeng returned to the curtain and took a holy decree to Chang Yu.

Chang Yu opened it and glanced at it hurriedly, and said to Zhou Yufeng: "It's urgent, the little one will do things first."

Zhou Yufeng nodded, and Chang Yu turned to leave.

Father-in-law Chang arrived at the gate of the palace, and Queen Zhou suddenly called out to Chang Yu: "Father-in-law Chang, the matter of paying for silver, well done!" ”

Chang Yu turned around, smiled, and squeezed a wink at Zhu Yujiao, who was still confused, yes, he actually hooked up with Princess Changping.

Is he wincing my eyebrows? Zhu Yujiao looked stunned, rubbing her eyes vigorously, it was too fast just now, could it be that I was wrong, if I was not mistaken, this dead eunuch is not small!

Chang Yu, who came out of Kunning Palace, had his face returned to normal, and followed Chunxiang and the three of them towards the deep palace, because he was not familiar with the road!

The palace is large, there are countless palaces, each with its own purpose, and the royal wealth is invincible to the national treasures, and there are naturally special storage places, such as the Jianfu Palace of Emperor Qianlong during the Qing Dynasty, that is, the treasure hall that was set on fire by the eunuchs at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Similarly, Chongzhen also has a treasure trove, but it is an unknown palace (the truth is that I didn't find out)

Following Chunxiang's dizziness, Qi Meat and Eight Vegetarian finally came to an independent courtyard on the west side of the harem, the courtyard is not small, but there is only one hall.

The courtyard is brightly lit, dozens of eunuchs are working overtime with the lights, counting and sealing treasures, all kinds of nail boxes are ringing non-stop, the front hall of the palace is full of wooden boxes, a cursory look, like a small hill.

Seeing someone enter the courtyard, a chief eunuch on duty just wanted to shout, but his face immediately eased, and he squeezed out a smile: "Grandpa Chang, why are you free?" ”

Chang Yu is now famous, it can be said that the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace have heard of him ninety times out of ten, and five or six out of ten have seen him, for example, this person on duty must have seen him, otherwise he would not recognize him at a glance, of course, Chang Yu has no impression of him.

"The matter of checking the treasures in the warehouse, the queen is supervising our family, I can't help but come and see" Chang Yu smiled slightly, walked into the hall and swept around at random, estimating in his heart whether the tunnel dug could be saved.

"Hey, that's hard work, you're a busy man, this kind of hard work is enough to go through the motions, after all, there are still you busy on the other side of the grass fence field" The eunuch on duty is very good at patting sycophants.

Chang Yu nodded slightly and pursed his lips: "Yes, go through the motions, and mention something by the way."

"Pick up something, what?" The eunuch on duty was stunned, and Chang Yu directly handed over a holy decree in his hand.

The eunuch on duty opened it and looked at it, his brows were raised, and Chongzhen's holy decree was to the effect that the prince had been diligent recently, and he was very happy, and then asked people to take some objects and send them to the prince's mansion.

So here's the problem, since ancient times, it has been normal for the emperor to reward his courtiers or harem concubines and princes with treasures in the palace, but what to reward, how many rewards are the target price, such as rewarding a few jade ruyi and the like. But the holy decree in front of me only says to take some objects, what to take, how many to take.

The eunuch on duty was a little confused, Chang Yu didn't care about him, and looked at the label on the box: "This, that, and that ......" pointed to more than forty boxes in one breath, all of which were calligraphy, paintings, and gold and jade.

These can make the eunuch on duty dumbfounded, what kind of operation is this.

"Why are you still stunned, and the people are quickly carried to the prince's mansion" Chang Yu glared at him, a eunuch on duty wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, I am talking so much, people are the real big supervisors, and he is also carrying something and handling the wool himself, so he immediately opened up.

The key to the harem, in the courtyard of the prince's mansion, there are forty big boxes, Tang Potian took a few guards to guard, prohibiting the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace from approaching, to be exact, those eunuchs and palace maids in the palace had already received a grounding order, and they were not allowed to leave the house if they stayed in the room, and they didn't know that someone had sent so many boxes just now.

"Xiao Chang, what's in this box?" Tang Potian was very curious, and couldn't help but ask Chang Yu, who was watching the sky at night.

"The secret that can't be said" Chang Yu chuckled: "How many times have I told you, curiosity kills cats, why don't you have a long memory."

Moreover, Tang Potian pursed his lips, and then changed the topic: "Aren't you going to watch the boxing match tonight, do you have any inside story to reveal to your brother?"

"Through the wool, boxing matches have always been fair and just, where are there so many insiders" Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "You will come out of the palace with me in a while, don't think about tonight's event."

"Ah, I'm going out too? Well, do you want to come back, I'm still thinking about playing two......"

Tang Potian was talking by himself, Chang Yu smiled silently, until the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the door, he booed him, and motioned to a guard to open the courtyard door with his eyes.
