The wind in the capital is slowly starting to change.

At the beginning, no one thought that the eldest prince Ji Yu could sit firmly in the position of the prince, so the four princes would be so keen to fight with the prince, and now two rounds of sewage have been splashed, although the prince's reputation has been stinky, but he is safe and sound, and the position of the prince has not been shaken at all!

Some people even began to rumor in private that the son was controlled by the crown prince today.

When the prince is so strong, he naturally has a large number of followers around him, after all, no one will joke with his life, and now, under His Royal Highness the prince, there are already a large number of officials of the third or fourth grade available.

The trend has come.

Even several prime ministers felt that the crown prince's heir had become a success, so when the prince issued the edict of the prince, several prime ministers hesitated a little and added a seal to it.

The ministers under the four princes were anxious every day, and even a few timid officials committed suicide by hanging themselves at home.

No matter how bad the prince's reputation is, as long as His Majesty doesn't do anything, he will still be the prince, and the general trend will be unstoppable.

Even the fourth prince himself was depressed a lot, and he didn't leave the house for several days.

The third prince has not been grounded for half a year, and there is no way to go out.

As for His Royal Highness King Wei, the seventh son of the emperor, it is even more direct, and he has already begun to prepare to move, and the people in Yongle Fang can see that there are many carriages gathered at the gate of the Wei Palace, packing things, and it seems that he is only waiting for the imperial court's documents to come down, and he is ready to leave Beijing.

The Ministry of Rites is responsible for determining the fiefdom, the Ministry of Household is responsible for determining the feudal estate, the Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for dividing the feudal king's property, and the Ministry of Industry is responsible for building the feudal king's mansion.

In fact, the fiefs of the three princes have been confirmed, His Royal Highness King Zhao was sealed in the Yancheng area, and His Royal Highness King Qi was sealed in Jiaying Mansion in the south, and His Royal Highness King Wei was quite satisfied because of his best attitude, so he sealed King Wei's Mansion in the rich Gusu City, which can be regarded as preferential treatment.

However, it usually takes at least half a year or even a year to complete the mansion of the feudal king, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince requires that it be completed within three months, which can be regarded as a harsh order.

You must know that the mansions of the vassal kings are regulated, at least not too simple, and if the construction period is forcibly reduced, many people will die due to heavy forced labor.

In ancient times, not only did you have to pay taxes, but also had to serve, and service was not only military service, but also conscription, and this kind of construction of the vassal king's mansion had to be requisitioned from the local government, not only did not give money, but also did not care about food, and the three-month construction period, I don't know how many people would die of exhaustion on it.

However, the general trend is like this, and no one in the capital dares to rebel against the prince now.

No one dared to post even big-character posters, and in the past month, at least hundreds of people have been imprisoned for posting big-character posters, and they have not come out yet.

The situation is getting better and better, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also full of ambition and a lot of happiness, and often summons his "subordinates" to have a banquet in the East Palace, which can be said to be a spring breeze.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was already fat, seemed to have swelled again.

Just when everyone thought that the regime was going to be normal and excessive, in the proud building at the top of the ten-mile Qinhuai, an inconspicuous guest came.

The guest was dressed in linen, with a short figure and a somewhat dark complexion.

It is Dong Cheng, one of the eight eunuchs of the Inner Palace, the eunuch of Tianmu.

Generally, the eunuchs in the inner palace rarely see the sun, and they are not particularly dark, but Dong Cheng is different, he is in charge of the Tianmu Prison, as the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, he has to often run for the Son of Heaven outside, so it is a little dark.

Dong Cheng walked all the way to the third floor, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a young man in a blue cotton coat, smiling in front of him.

"I've seen Eunuch Dong."

The eunuch here refers to Dong Cheng's position in the palace, which can be regarded as an honorific title.

Dong Cheng took a step back quietly, and said cautiously: "What about His Royal Highness King Wei?" ”

This person is naturally Li Xin.

Li Xin said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Wei is busy moving, so he entrusted me to say a few words to Eunuch Dong." ”

Dong Cheng squinted his eyes and glanced at Li Xin, and said silently: "Li Lang will live a leisurely life, not in the Yulinwei camp, but he is happy here." ”

Li Xin was surprised: "Eunuch Dong recognizes me?" ”

Dong Cheng smiled: "There are famous people in the capital, and our family knows them." ”

In fact, a mere official from the fifth rank is inconspicuous in the capital, let alone a name and surname, but Li Xin's position is more critical, and he has soldiers in his hands, so he will be looked at by Tianmu Supervisor.

Li Xin turned sideways and stretched out his hand.

"Eunuch Dong, please."

After Dong Cheng hesitated slightly, he followed Li Xin and entered the private room on the third floor of the Proud Building.

The two men sat down at opposite ends of a low table.

After sitting down, Li Xin took out the milky white mutton fat jade from his sleeve, about half the size of a palm, and carved it into a statue of the master, with a solemn appearance.

Li Xin handed this jade pendant to Dong Cheng's side and smiled: "This is what His Royal Highness the King of Wei entrusted me to bring to my father-in-law." ”

Dong Cheng has a habit, the best jade, jade as life, in the early years because the King of Wei once happened to meet this Tianmu eunuch, found that he had a piece of jade hanging on his wrist that he had dedicated to the Son of Heaven, so he took his handle and took the Tianmu Prison for his own use.

In fact, a mere piece of jade, even if you steal it among the people, it won't be a big deal, but you can't steal the emperor's things, the eunuchs are all slaves of the Son of Heaven, and the house slaves have no status, as long as they are discovered, they will definitely be killed by Chen Ju himself.

Therefore, Dong Cheng has only been trembling in the past few years, and he has been remotely controlled by His Royal Highness King Wei.

By now, stealing that piece of jade is no longer a crime, and fornicating with the prince is Dong Cheng's biggest sin!

Eunuch Dong took a deep breath and did not pick up the piece of jade, but looked up at Li Xin.

"General Li Lang, if you have anything to say, you don't have to beat around the bush like this."

Li Xin smiled indifferently: "Eunuch Dong said so, then I will get straight to the point." ”

"How many people are there in Tianmu Prison?"

After Dong Cheng hesitated for a moment, he replied: "There are more than 800 people in the palace, and there are more than 10,000 people in the dark pile outside the palace. ”

"Dark stakes are useless."

Li Xin said indifferently: "After a while, His Royal Highness King Wei wants to enter the palace to do something, and when the time comes, he needs the cooperation of Tianmu Eunuch, does Eunuch Dong agree?" ”

Of course, it is useful to investigate the news of the hidden piles, but there is such a thing as a mutiny, and you must not participate in it unless you are die-hard, and those hidden piles are not useful.

Dong Cheng looked up in amazement: "Dare to ask what's the matter?" ”

Li Xin squinted his eyes and said, "Eunuch Dong agreed, so I can speak." ”

Dong Cheng took a deep breath and looked up at Li Xin.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei wants a palace change?"

The black-faced eunuch's face turned pale with fright, and his voice trembled: "General Li Lang, this is impossible, there are three thousand internal guards in the palace, all of them are well-trained, and most of our Tianmu eunuchs are civilian, just sorting out news."

Li Xin's face was silent: "Eunuch Dong has forgotten, what kind of official am I?" ”

"You're Yu Linwei"

Dong Cheng reacted, then took a few deep breaths, and said: "Yu Linwei can't succeed, no matter how good the internal guard is, he can hold on." ”

Li Xin's face was cold: "As long as you Tianmu Eunuch sets fire to the palace city, and you don't want to do anything else, I only ask Eunuch Dong one thing." ”

"Do you do it or don't you do it?"
