In today's civil service circle, there is a strict hierarchy, whether you are a student or a junior, you can't have any disagreement with your teachers and elders, if you hurt your own teachers and elders, even if you gain momentum for a while, you won't be able to mix in the circle.

Not only that, even if it's your boss, you can't report him, otherwise even if you pull your boss off the horse, no one will dare to use you again in the future.

But this set of things is only applicable to the outer court, it doesn't work in the inner court, these eunuchs in the palace will not be bound by the moral standards outside, their world is so big, no matter how much they scold outside, they can't be in the palace, not to mention the affairs of the inner court, and the power of the big eunuch in the inner court is so great and so tempting, so it is normal for the godfathers and sons in the palace to kill each other, and the intrigue between superiors and subordinates is normal, after all, there is only one great eunuch in the inner court, and there are too many palace people in the palace.

Xiao Huai got the evidence that could cause Xiao Zheng's death a few months ago, but not only did he not report his godfather, but instead spent several months helping Xiao Zheng erase the traces left by this incident, wanting to bury this matter completely in the soil.

I have to say that this is extremely rare.

Even if he has been a great eunuch for more than ten years, when he saw Xiao Zheng, who didn't know how much wind and rain, his heart was shocked, he stood in place and was silent for a long time, and then he glanced at Xiao Huai and sighed heavily.

"You...... I have a heart. ”

Xiao Huai bowed his head respectfully: "When my son was in the palace, he was a cowardly who was bullied, not a godfather's pity, my son was probably still washing clothes in Shangyi Prison at this time, and when my son had not entered the palace since he was a child, the family taught his son to be gracious." ”

"That's what a son should do."

Xiao Zheng patted Xiao Huai's shoulder and exhaled a long breath.

"This matter, whether you are selfish or not, is kind to me after all, and I remember it in my heart."

The power field is the most cruel, and it is very difficult to be able to maintain a little conscience in it, and Xiao Huai's actions still make Xiao Zheng quite grateful.

Of course, if you look into it carefully, it is difficult to say whether Xiao Huai is selfish or not.

Because he is not the only young eunuch in the inner chamberlain!

There is another young eunuch who is older than him, if he overthrows Xiao Zheng and he doesn't climb to that position, in the end it will only outweigh the losses.

Of course, speculating on others with evil thoughts is the most important thing, what Xiao Huai thinks in his heart, only he knows, but he really did a good thing for Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Huai walked behind Xiao Zheng, bowing his head slightly.

"Godfather, according to the information collected by Mei Meiwei, Mrs. Li is likely to ...... It's coming to the capital. ”

"If Mrs. Li enters the capital, do we still want to arrest him according to His Majesty's wishes?"

Xiao Zheng shook his head: "What Your Majesty is thinking about is to invite Jing'an Hou to enter Beijing, if he is willing to take the initiative to enter Beijing, it will be a matter between their master and apprentice, and it has nothing to do with us slaves and maids." ”

"When the time comes, inform Your Majesty."

………………

In June of the fifth year of Yuan Zhao, the weather was hot.

In the capital, only the big tree in Liushufang can have some shade, and the big families in Mingde Fang, Yongle Fang, have already asked their subordinates to open the ice cellar and cool down with ice.

It is worth mentioning that because of Li Xin's arrival, in the past ten years, there have been a lot of more food in the capital, such as the kebabs made by Li Xin in the early years, and the ice food in summer, etc., which have been sold by many people along the street.

In the scorching sun, a middle-aged man dressed in green clothes and looking to be in his early thirties, alone, holding a fan in his hand, lazily walked on the street of victory.

He was wearing a very ordinary cloth clothes, and his appearance was not outstanding, and there was no problem with the body on his body, and the soldiers in the capital did not recognize who he was, so he walked into Yongle Fang and came to the back door of Chen Guogong's mansion.

He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, the back door of the Guogong Mansion opened quickly, and the porter at the back door naturally recognized him, and after seeing him, his face changed, and he lost his voice: "Li ......"

"Master Li, why are you here?"

This middle-aged man is naturally Li Xin, who came to the capital secretly, he deliberately did not repair his beard, plus he wore an ordinary clothes, carefully prepared a road guide and a photo post, and he really mixed into the capital alone, and was not discovered.

But it doesn't matter if he is discovered, he entered the capital to let the imperial court find out.

Li Xin smiled: "I've been in the south for a long time, so naturally I want to go back to the capital, is Ye Mao at home?" ”

"At home, at home."

The porter nodded hurriedly and said, "Grandpa has been in the study for the past few days, and the villain has shown the way to Hou Ye Li." ”

"There is labor."

Li Xin was familiar with Chen Guogong's Mansion, most of the old people in Guogong's Mansion knew him, and it didn't take long for him to come to the backyard of the Ye family, and before he arrived at the door of Ye Mao's study, Ye Mao, who was also dressed in coarse cloth, rushed out, and after seeing that it was really Li Xin coming, the black-faced man widened his eyes and swallowed his saliva.

"Uncle Li...... What are you doing here? ”

In Ye Mao's opinion, his uncle has completely betrayed the imperial court, and even if he returns to Beijing in the future, he should enter the capital, not suddenly appear in the capital at this time.

Ye Mao even planned not to see each other for the rest of his life.

The reunion at this time made Chen Guogong, who was in a very bad mood, feel refreshed.

Li Xin patted Ye Mao's shoulder and said with a smile: "Ye Sheng instructed me before I was born, let me help him take care of the Ye family, I heard in the south that the Ye family was in some trouble, so I went into the capital to take a look." ”

"It's not like my Ye family is in trouble......

Ye Mao shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Yes...... That's it. ”

He took two steps back and looked at Li Xin deeply.

"Uncle Shi can run this trip for the Ye family, Ye Mao is grateful."

Li Xin glanced at the big man with a smile, and laughed: "What do you believe, no wonder people are forced to this point!" ”

Ye Mao stretched out his hand and scratched his head.

"Why don't you invite me in for a seat? After a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit down. ”

Ye Guogong woke up like a dream, immediately got out of the way, and bent slightly to Li Xin: "Uncle Shi, please." ”

"At this time, it's not easy for you to recognize me as an uncle."

Li Xin shook his head and smiled: "But don't call in front of people, it will affect the Ye family." ”

"Speaking of which, the Ye family fell into this predicament and was still implicated by me."

Ye Mao shook his head.

"Uncle Shi helps the Ye family more."

The two of them entered the Ye family's study together, and after sitting down, Ye Mao personally poured a cup of tea for Li Xin, and after Li Xin drank the tea, he asked some about the current situation of the Zhenbei Army.

Although he heard a lot of news in the dark department of Jizhou, compared to the Ye family, who actually controlled the Zhenbei Army, it was still too poor in terms of intelligence accuracy.

After Li Xin asked a few simple questions, he nodded and said, "In this way, it is not a problem for the Zhenbei Army to support it for a few more months. ”

"It's been hard to defend."

Ye Guogong frowned and said: "If my fourth uncle and I are in Jizhou, it will not be a problem to keep it until the end of the year, but I am not sure how long we can keep it now." ”

"Imperial Court Reinforcement ......"

Li Xin only said four words in this sentence, and was about to continue, when there was a sudden knock on the door outside the study.

"Grandpa, someone is here in the palace!"

Ye Mao's face changed slightly, while Li Xin's face did not change.

"It's here so soon."

He put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at Ye Mao with a smile.

"It seems that your house is not very clean."
