After staying in Prince Xin's mansion for a few days, Lian Shanxiang breathed a sigh of relief, although this Prince Xin didn't take them seriously, but he didn't deliberately trouble them.

However, when Wang Chengen, the head of the palace today, suddenly found him and asked him to take Zhao Chenfang, who tried a hundred households, to see His Royal Highness, and he had something to tell them to do. Lian Shanxiang suddenly felt a little drumming in his heart, as the emperor's pro-army, it was not a good thing for the prince to get too close. Not to mention that it is rumored outside that His Majesty is unwell, and if he is close to Prince Xin at this time, he is risking his head. Lian Shanxiang, who just wants to live in the capital peacefully and stay with his family, doesn't want to be transferred to some people's ambitions at all.

But before Lian Shanxiang could come up with a way to refuse, Zhao Chenfang, who didn't know the world, agreed, picked up the embroidered spring knife and wanted to follow Wang Chengen into the inner mansion. Without even turning Shanxiang's mind, he grabbed him and untied his embroidered spring knife.

Wang Chengen, who was standing at the door, glanced approvingly, this middle-aged hundred-year-old hundred-year-old with a sad face, and said, "Hurry up, don't let Your Highness wait for a long time." Without permission, you are not allowed to enter the inner mansion with a blade. Don't know? Zhao tried 100 households. ”

Zhao Chenfang put the knife on the table in a daze, and quietly arched his hand to Lian Shanxiang to express his gratitude. Lian Shanxiang looked at the unlucky child expressionlessly and asked him to follow him. and instructed him not to look at his eyes after entering the inner mansion, and not to talk nonsense when he saw His Highness, etc.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the old and the young, and was a little skeptical of his decision. "These two people, one looks like an old fritter on the construction site, and the other is a middle school student who has just left school, no matter how you look at it, they don't look like shrewd and capable Jinyi Wei secret agents."

When Zhu Youzhen's eyes looked back and forth on the faces of the two brocade guards, Lian Shanxiang couldn't help but tighten his chrysanthemum, could it be that this Prince Xin likes to walk on dry roads. However, after he glanced at Zhao Chenfang, who was beside him with clear eyebrows, his heart was much more stable. "Even if His Royal Highness is a good man, most of them will choose Zhao Chenfang instead of himself."

Before Lian Shanxiang's heart was put to the end, he heard Prince Xin say: "Princess, you take this Zhao Baihu to guard first, I have something to say to Lian Baihu." ”

After Wang Chengen agreed, he left with Zhao Chenfang, and Lian Shanxiang's heart suddenly jumped suddenly, "The taste of this Prince of Xin is really special, even a person like me is not jealous." Is he suffering? ”

"Lian Baihu, I want you to check one person, are you willing..." Secretly glancing at Zhu Youzhen's appearance, Lian Shanxiang felt that he could bear it, it was better than being beaten to death by the annoyed and angry Prince Xin.

"What do you want, I haven't finished yet?" Zhu Youzhen said a little dazed. "Didn't His Highness let me plug in, oh check people?" Lian Shanxiang, who came to his senses, suddenly changed his words. "It's so dangerous, I almost misunderstood" Lian Shanxiang began to sweat on his forehead, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it.

Zhu Youzhen said what he wanted Jinyiwei to do, and Lian Shanxiang was relieved when he heard that he was just letting himself track and record Mr. Chen's life, not arresting and torturing people. If you just investigate Mr. Chen's daily life, you can do it yourself. If you are arrested and tortured, you will be at great risk if you don't drive it.

"It's good that you understand, just hand over the daily life of Mr. Chen that you recorded every morning to Wang Chengen. Remember, I'd rather let him disappear under his nose than let him find out that someone is investigating him, you know? Zhu Youzhen was afraid that this brocade guard would understand the mistake, so he swaggered to investigate Chen Zhongji.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Lian Shanxiang and thought for a while, and said, "You go down and arrange the manpower, and go to Wang Chengen to receive the funds of 5 taels of silver." ”

You can still get money for such a simple thing, which makes Lian Shanxiang a little happy. "Find two green skins on the street to do this, that is, a silver thing, and give Zhao Chenfang one or two seals, and I can still leave three taels."

Looking at the back of Lian Shanxiang and the two leaving, Zhu Youzhen was silent for a while and then followed Wang Chengen and said, "Let's go back, I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while." ”

In the following days, Zhu Youzhen began to slowly familiarize himself with the environment of this palace, and also became familiar with the personalities of the three women around him.

Zhou Yufeng has a steady personality, loves to read, and has always regarded feudal ethics as his life criterion. Yuan Zhaorong has a gentle temperament, is very friendly to everyone, and has the best popularity in the house. Tian Xiuying is a typical literary girl, born in Suzhou, she was originally a lively and lovely girl, but within the palace walls of the palace in the capital, this lively nature is slowly disappearing. For Tian Xiuying, perhaps the only thing she can rely on within the walls of this palace is Zhu Youzhen, who is in tune with her musically.

As a Ming Dynasty vassal king's daily life, Zhu Youzhen actually has nothing to do every day, sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day, and then gets up and is served to wash and eat, and then he admires the flowers and looks at the goldfish in the pool in the back garden.

Then he had dinner with his wife, Zhou Yufeng, and then took a lunch break in the afternoon. Then go and talk to Tian Xiuying about music, or talk to Yuan Zhaorong about calligraphy and painting. Then in the evening, I had dinner with my three wives, and then I watched singing and dancing, and then the day was over. There is also a special case, every other day, Chen Zhongji will give him a half-day lesson on scriptures.

This kind of leisurely and panicked days, Su Changqing couldn't live it after only three days. As a civil construction worker who runs on the construction site all year round, it was his dream to sleep for a few days. But let him be like a pig, sleep after eating, eat after sleeping, and then find a few beautiful women to breed, this kind of life is definitely not what he wants.

Although Su Changqing thinks that he may not be able to save this Ming Empire, which has rotted to the roots. But with the contact with Zhou Yufeng and other three women, what he really wants to save now is the people around him.

After accepting the fact that he became Zhu Youzhen, he began to change his habits. The people in the palace noticed that Prince Shin's living habits had suddenly changed.

Although Prince Shin lived a very regular life, he spent most of the day reading in his study. The nearest Prince Shin got up earlier in the morning, but was running in the back garden. In order to facilitate exercise, Zhu Youzhen also deliberately asked Zhou Yufeng to sew a set of comfortable running clothes for himself.

After exercising every day, Zhu Youzhen would chat with Zhang Shijie about the capital, or ask these families from the British Mansion about the customs and customs of the places they had visited.

After lunch, I took a nap, and after getting up, I listened to Wang Chengen's follow-up report submitted by Lian Shanxiang. After that, he summoned Lian Shanxiang to ask about the unclear points in the report, and then asked about the story of the capital. Sometimes, a few lieutenants or soldiers were randomly selected to ask about their families and what they knew about the city.

When encountering those captains or soldiers whose families were in difficulty or whose family members were sick, Zhu Youzhen asked Wang Chengen to give some money as needed, or ask a doctor to treat them.

For these captains, soldiers, and British princes who guarded the palace, under Zhu Youzhen's personal interrogation, they all received food that was not much different. Zhu Youzhen also forbade the chamberlains in the palace to call these soldiers at will, and if there was a real need, he would first report to Wang Chengen, and then Wang Chengen would notify Lian Shanxiang, and then Lian Shanxiang would arrange for the personnel to handle the affairs himself. And everything must be recorded.

In less than a week, the captain of the Jinyi Guard and the soldiers transferred from the Beijing camp in the Xinwang Mansion suddenly became vibrant. The original phenomenon of the inner and outer chambers of the palace walking freely and instructing the guards to work at will, or making fun of the guards, has disappeared.

Zhang Shijie and several leaders of the British public family were surprised to see that in less than seven days, the whole of Prince Xin's mansion had taken on a new look. These Jinyi guards and Jingying soldiers who were transferred, from hiding from Prince Xin to taking the initiative to salute, and daring to refute some servants who did not abide by the regulations, were simply like two people.

Zhang Shijie's family, the oldest family leader, said to Zhang Shijie in private: "If these soldiers train for a few months now, they may not be worse than their own families." Prince Xin really has the style of the British public in the past, if he can be a general, he will be a good general, but it is a pity that he was born in the emperor's family. ”

Compared with the appreciation of Zhang Shijie and other outsiders, the chamberlain beside Prince Xin was a little sad. Originally, according to tradition, the affairs of the inner palace of the palace were presided over by Queen Zhou Yufeng, although Zhou Yufeng had a stable personality, but after all, he was from a humble background, and he managed the huge palace not long after he got married, which was actually powerless.

And in addition, she is a woman herself, and she can't show her head, so the way she manages it is a courtesy. What is etiquette, that is, the lower cannot be committed, and the cheapest cannot be more expensive. This kind of management method is naturally very good for the leaders of these inner chamberlains, as long as there is a hierarchy between the two, the higher rank can order the lower rank to do anything, regardless of what the lower rank is supposed to do.

It is to embezzle service funds by personnel who are procuring outside the country, in order to honor the stewards and keep the fat shortage. And those who have low status and no money to bribe the steward are always doing endless work. Although this is also a common phenomenon in the inner mansion of the powerful and the imperial court, and Zhou Yufeng is still a little girl after all, she is more soft-hearted, and the servants at the bottom of the mansion are still alive.

However, for Zhu Youzhen, this kind of person who treats the officials as cattle and horses is enslaved is too much. A low-ranking maid was so sick that she couldn't even ask a doctor to see a doctor. The first is that there is no money, and the second is that according to the rules of internal and external differences, maids are not allowed to leave the palace, and ordinary civilians cannot enter and leave the palace at will, and the doctors of the Tai Hospital who can enter the palace will not treat such low-level servants. The only thing she could do was to ask the little eunuch she knew to entrust the procurement staff who went out to grab a few pairs of medicines. If she is seriously ill, she will be carried to the most remote courtyard and left to fend for herself.

Zhu Youzhen was also walking around the mansion when he saw a 20-year-old internal official hurriedly running towards the southeast courtyard of the mansion with a few bags of things, and stopped him with some curiosity.

After asking a few words, this low-level internal official named Lu Jiude told what had happened tremblingly. The rules of the palace are insurmountable rules for low-level officials like Lu Jiude, but in a person of Zhu Youzhen's status, it is just a matter of one sentence.

After Lu Jiude called the doctor in the capital, the little palace maid named Lin Xiang'er was finally rescued from the threat of death. Later, after Zhu Youzhen carefully questioned Wang Chengen, he understood how detailed and perverted these palace regulations were.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen knew that he didn't even think about revising these regulations, most of the regulations came from the handwriting of Ming Taizu and Emperor Yongle, and if he wanted to change them, he should be sent to the middle school under house arrest.

But he wasn't going to just sit on the sidelines and do nothing. As a qualified project constructor, looking for loopholes in the contract is also one of the essential qualities. Under Zhu Youzhen's order, a special hospital was set up in the outer courtyard of the palace, and when someone was sick, he would enter this hospital to ask outside doctors to see a doctor and recuperate here.
