Putting down the letterhead, Yang Feng picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, only to find that the tea was already cold.

Yang Feng shook his head helplessly, if it was in his own mansion, this kind of thing would not happen at all, the maids or wives and concubines around him would have already changed the teacups for him, but the family members around him were all guys who were used to carrying knives and guns, and it was no problem for them to charge into battle, but it was difficult for them to do this kind of careful work of serving people.

Just thinking of this, Yang Feng was slightly shocked in his heart. I don't know when I have gotten used to this kind of life of stretching out my hands and opening my mouth, which is not a good sign.

You must know that five years ago, he was just a working boy at the bottom of the society who could only live in the cheapest rental house and saw no hope, and now he is unhappy for a cup of cold tea, when did he become so pampered, this is not a good phenomenon.

After drinking the cold tea, Yang Feng shouted: "Someone!" ”

Song Ye strode in, saluted and asked, "Master Hou, what do you command?" ”

"Is the father-in-law who delivered the letter here gone?"

"Not gone yet." Song Ye said: "Because of the strong wind and waves today, that father-in-law was afraid of seasickness, so he postponed the date of going back. ”

"That's good." Yang Feng's heart was relieved, "You go right away, invite that father-in-law, and say that I have something to ask him." ”

"Whoa!"

More than twenty minutes later, the door was pushed open, and Song Ye led a eunuch in his forties to walk in, and after the eunuch came in, he saluted Yang Feng and said respectfully: "Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, has seen Hou Ye, and I hope that Hou Ye's wishes will come true and wait for all generations!" ”

"Hey ......"

Yang Feng couldn't help but smile and shook his head, how could the eunuchs who came out of this palace say auspicious words one by one as if they didn't want money, and they came as soon as they opened their mouths, almost all of them became instincts, no wonder...... Hey...... Wait a minute......

Suddenly sitting up straight, Yang Feng raised his voice: "You say it again, what's your name?" ”

Seeing that Yang Feng suddenly became serious, Song Ye, who was standing on the side, had a tight look in his eyes, and his right hand held the grip of the fire gun on his waist, and stared at the eunuch tightly.

And the eunuch also chuckled in his heart, his face turned pale, and he replied tremblingly: "Let's ...... Our family's name is Cao Huachun, dare to ask Master Hou, is there anything wrong with this name? ”

"No, no!"

Yang Feng sensed Song Ye's vigilance and Cao Huachun's uneasiness, and smiled and waved his hand to signal that it was okay.

It's just that he was slightly shocked in his heart, according to the history books, Cao Huachun should be the person who was the former eunuch Wang An, who was in charge of the eunuch Wang An, because he offended Wei Zhongxian and was sent to Nanjing, and was not recalled until Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, how could he appear here now.

Thinking of this, Yang Feng couldn't help asking: "Gonggong Cao, aren't you guarding the ancestral tomb in Jinling, why did you go back to the capital?" ”

The speaker has no intention of listening, but Cao Huachun was shocked in his heart, he was just a eunuch who failed in the struggle and was assigned, but the other party was a high-powered marquis with heavy troops, how did he know about himself?

It's just that although he was shocked in his heart, he replied respectfully in his mouth: "If you go back to the Hou Ye, our family was recalled to Beijing by His Majesty three months ago." ”

"I was recalled to Beijing three months ago?"

Yang Feng muttered suspiciously, and couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart, this guy was brought to Nanjing by Wei Zhongxian to guard the ancestral mausoleum, but Zhu Youxiao summoned him back, isn't this slapping Grandpa Wei's face?

However, others may not dare to slap Grandpa Wei's face, but Zhu Youxiao is different, no matter how high and powerful Grandpa Wei is, he is just a slave of the royal family, and if he is beaten, he will be beaten, do you dare to have an opinion?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Yang Feng couldn't help but look at Cao Huachun, not to mention, although this guy has an ordinary face, and at first glance he looks like that kind of loyal and honest appearance, no wonder he was reused by Zhu Youxiao so quickly, you must know that the seat of the celebrant and the supervisor is not something that anyone can sit on.

Yang Feng knew that this eunuch who had been blackened by my Qing Dynasty and Donglin Party in later generations was actually a person who was very loyal to the Ming royal family and was quite kind, so he didn't mind getting closer to him when it was convenient.

picked up the letterhead on the table and raised it: "Gonggong Cao, in this letter, Your Majesty asked Benhou to return to Beijing as soon as possible after dealing with the matter here, but Your Majesty didn't say much in the letter, I don't know what Gonggong Cao knows?" ”

Cao Huachun hesitated for a moment and said, "So that the Hou Ye can know, our family is actually not very clear." But for more than a year, the situation of our Daming has not been very good.

Since the beginning of this year, after Hou Ye pacified the Jiannu outside the Guan, he originally thought that the external troubles of our Ming Dynasty were eliminated and he could recuperate, but the disaster of the Liukou in the Guan became more and more intense. The thieves led by the 36th battalion of the king roared and gathered hundreds of thousands of people in Shaanxi and Shanxi, shouting, "Instead of sitting and starving to death, why not steal and die." The slogan of killing officials rebelled, and the government and the opposition were shaken after the incident.

His Majesty ordered the two government offices to send troops to suppress the bombs, but the officers and soldiers were defeated, and at that time, there were imperial historians and officials who wrote to ask His Majesty to mobilize the Jiangning army to return to the dynasty to exterminate the Liukou, but His Majesty refused. His Majesty ordered the mobilization of Lu Xiangsheng to lead 30,000 new troops into Shaanxi to suppress the Liukou.

Lord Lu deserves to be a famous general, leading the new army to defeat the Liukou one after another, and even the head of the thief chief was cut off by Lord Lu for his own use. ”

After Wang Ziyong's death, everyone originally thought that the demise of the thieves was imminent, but unexpectedly, there were several powerful characters in the thieves, and they began to break into pieces, and some people began to wander to Sichuan, Henan and other places. At this time, someone in the court wrote to ask His Majesty to drop the Jiangning army and return to the court to exterminate the thieves, and our family estimates that it is precisely because of this matter that His Majesty summoned you back to the court.

"I see!"

Yang Feng nodded, it turned out that the root was here.

To be honest, Yang Feng has never had a good impression of something like Liukou.

Of course, when Yang Feng was studying in the past, history textbooks called them righteous soldiers and said a lot of good things about them.

At the beginning, Yang Feng also thought so, because the court of the Ming Dynasty was mediocre and corrupt, which led to the misery of the people, and the peasants could not survive, so they rebelled.

That's right, Yang Feng would do the same. Anyway, you have to die, killing officials and rebelling is death, starvation is also death, why not fight, maybe you can fight for a future.

But the disadvantage of the rogues is that when they change from the common people to the rogues, the original kindness will quickly transform into extremely vicious, in order to expand the team, they will rob everything every time they capture a place, and coerce all the people to become one of them, and those who dare to disobey will be immediately beaten by them as aliens and killed.

Like locusts, they eat up, rob and destroy everything in a place, and then move on to the next goal.

What the...... What if I run out?

Hehe...... It's about Lao Tzu's, isn't there still so many places that haven't been robbed?
