"Where does Grace come from?" Looking at Song Dashan kneeling in front of him, Li Yuntian's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, it was the first time he saw the servant in front of him, so he asked quietly. The update is the fastest and the fastest to the eye

"Two years ago, Engong rescued a mother and son who were kicked out of the inn, it was the younger mother and second brother." Song Dashan raised his head and said to Li Yuntian.

"It turns out that you are the fourth child of that family!" After Song Dashan's reminder, Li Yuntian immediately understood what was going on, and smiled and motioned for him to get up, "Is your mother's body okay?" The eldest brother and the third brother are coming back soon. ”

Two years ago, Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting got married in Lijiazhuang and then visited the nobles who were friends with the Zhou family in the capital, and once when they went home at night, they met a pair of mother and son who were bombarded out by the inn shop because they had no money to pay the room fee, and the mother was still sick.

The mother and son were from the Daimyo Mansion of Beizhili, because the land was seized by a bully in the village, and the eldest son and the third son of the family were angry, so they had a fight with the bully, injured the bully, and were sentenced to several years in prison by the county government.

The bully could not swallow the evil breath in his chest, and found someone to burn down the mother and son's home, and also threatened that the mother and son were forced to come to the capital to join the fourth son who was serving in the palace.

Due to the poverty of his family, the fourth son was sold to the capital at the age of ten and became a servant.

If it weren't for Li Yuntian's help, giving the mother and son a hundred taels of silver tickets, and letting Li Manshan help them buy a house and settle down in the capital, there is a good chance that the mother and son would die on the streets.

At that time, Zhou Yuting was puzzled by Li Yuntian's behavior of giving the mother and son one hundred taels of silver tickets, thinking that this shot was too generous, Li Yuntian smiled at the time and said, "Put a long line to catch a big fish."

After two years, Li Yuntian had already left this matter behind, and if it wasn't for Song Dashan's reminder, he wouldn't have remembered it at all.

"The little mother's body is very strong now, and she has been talking about the kindness of the father-in-law, and the eldest brother and the third brother of the little one were released back during the amnesty last year, and now they are doing some small business in the capital." Song Dashan never expected Li Yuntian to remember it so clearly, his face suddenly became happy, and he stood there with a bow after getting up.

Last year, Emperor Hongxi ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, and prisoners like Song Dashan's eldest brother and third brother, who had been sentenced to several years in prison, were released.

An internal servant like Song Dashan, who has no roots and no foundation, and whose family is poor and has no money to take care of, can only be at the bottom of the palace, living a miserable life, and it is difficult to even see his family.

It wasn't until last year that Emperor Hongxi inherited the unification, and the pattern of the palace servants was broken, and Song Dashan had a bright day, and the master he followed was powerful, so he was taken to the Siyuan Bureau by the master and became a petty official, and then got rid of the previous days of suffering.

The pattern of servants in the palace was broken and the chief eunuch Huang Yan and Jiang Bao were killed by Emperor Hongxi, Huang Yansu was not on good terms with Emperor Hongxi, and had a close past with Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, and had helped Zhu Gaochu plot against Emperor Hongxi many times, which made Emperor Hongxi particularly hated him in his heart.

Therefore, as soon as Emperor Hongxi ascended the throne, he uprooted Huang Yan and his henchmen and completely eliminated them, which changed the pattern of power in the palace.

After contact with Song Dashan, Li Yuntian found that he was sophisticated, sophisticated and steady, it seems that he has suffered a lot in the palace for more than ten years, and at the same time he has learned a lot of things, and he is already well versed in the way of survival in the palace.

What is particularly important is that Song Dashan did not choose to contact Li Yuntian directly, but deliberately found such an opportunity to send melons and fruits to express his gratitude, avoiding being discovered by outsiders and Li Yuntian's relationship, and acting cautiously, which made Li Yuntian appreciate it very much.

"You and I are destined, and this imperial history will give you a meeting gift." Li Yuntian should not let Song Dashan stay for a long time, Song Dashan obviously knew this, before leaving, Li Yuntian asked Xue'er to take five silver tickets of one hundred taels and hand them to him.

"Engong, this gift is too heavy, and the small ones dare not accept it." Song Dashan looked at the silver ticket in his hand and was taken aback, and hurriedly put it on the table.

"The prince is about to go south, and this imperial history thinks that Nanjing is a good place." Li Yuntian smiled slightly and looked at Song Dashan quietly.

Song Dashan's eyes flashed with a puzzled look, he heard it, Li Yuntian meant to let him follow the prince, but Emperor Hongxi was in the prime of life, and if the prince wanted to inherit the unification, he would probably have to wait for more than ten years, wouldn't this make him have to stay up for more than ten years to make a difference in the palace?

"Little Xie Engong mentions." Seeing that Li Yuntian was silent with a smile, Song Dashan felt that he had other deep meanings, and it was difficult to ask, so he groaned for a while, bowed his hand at Li Yuntian, picked up the silver ticket on the table and left.

"Master, he's just a small servant of the Siyuan Bureau, don't you value him too much?" Looking at the back of Song Dashan leaving, Xue'er couldn't help but ask suspiciously, this is the first time that Li Yuntian has given so much money to others, and he is also an ordinary chamberlain in the palace.

"A few days ago, the emperor sent Zhongguan Wang An to Gansu to guard the town, named the eunuch of the town, which is unprecedented in the history of the Ming Dynasty, which shows the emperor's reliance on the inner servants." Li Yuntian smiled and stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Xue'er's slender waist, "The master is doing this as a precaution, and it is better to have someone in the palace to take care of it at that time than to be in a hurry." ”

Zhongguan and eunuch are the same as eunuchs, they are an official position of the inner servant, but the eunuch is the highest official position of the inner servant, and the inner servants sent by Emperor Yongle to various places to guard the town are called "town guard middle officials", and their power is also limited, and Emperor Hong Xi directly promoted the town guard to the town guard eunuch, giving him the power to run the military.

As a result, the power of the inner court began to grow, and those eunuchs who were sent to various places were no longer limited to military power, but also intervened in local affairs with the support of the inner court.

Xue'er didn't know what was going on in the court, but she believed that Li Yuntian was so shrewd that it must make sense to do so.

At the beginning of April, Li Yuntian was listening to a lecture by a senior Hanlin editor of the Hanlin Academy in Wenyuan Pavilion, when Emperor Hong Xi suddenly came to the edict and invited him to go to the Qianqing Palace to meet him, so Li Yuntian left in a hurry in the envious eyes of the Jishi at the scene.

When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hong Xi looked at a piece of music expressionlessly, saw him come in and closed the piece and threw it on the table, and then began to issue an edict, and asked Zhu Zhanqi, the son of the Han dynasty, to return to Le'an immediately.

Li Yuntian knew what was going on when he heard this, and he was afraid that someone was secretly playing about Zhu Zhanqi, which completely angered Emperor Hong Xi.

After Zhu Gaochi returned to Le'an, Zhu Zhanqi was very active in the capital, not only had close contacts with the nobles, but now he even began to contact the officials of the major ministries.

Since the first time the Six Ministries and the Five Mansions joined forces to attack the cabinet in the court, the situation of the cabinet has become much more difficult, which makes Emperor Hong Xi quite annoyed.

Now that Zhu Zhanqi has frequently caused taboo incidents in the capital, Emperor Hongxi naturally wants to drive him away, and he will no longer be left in the capital to interact with the officials of the five governments and six departments.

"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that the prince of Han is staying in the capital in the name of filial piety, if the emperor lets him leave like this, I am afraid it will damage the emperor's name of benevolence and filial piety, and it is also inconsistent with the emperor's rule of filial piety." When Emperor Hongxi finished his edict, Li Yuntian arched his hand at him and said in a deep voice.

"Li Yushi, do you have a good plan?" Emperor Hong Xi's brows furrowed, and he asked.

"Your Majesty, since the prince of Han wants to keep filial piety, then the emperor might as well fulfill him." The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a hint of a smile, and he said quietly, "Weichen heard that the ancestral tomb of Fengyang is still unattended, so it is better to let Han Shizi take the tablet of the first emperor back to the ancestral tomb, so that he can fulfill his filial piety." ”

"Just as you say." Emperor Hong Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded slowly.

Li Yuntian's method was really good, not only drove Zhu Zhanqi out of the capital reasonably, but also tied him to Fengyang, so that he could no longer run for Zhu Gaochi.

"Li Yushi, I heard that King Han wanted to protect you some time ago?" Li Yuntian was just about to leave when Emperor Hong Xi stopped him and asked with a smile.

"I'm ashamed to say that the lord of Yingrui County made a big fuss about this, Weichen lost face, and Sven was swept away." Li Yuntian's eyes flashed when he heard this, and then an embarrassed look appeared on his face, and he said to Emperor Hong Xi.

Zhou Yuting carried a long sword and led the women's army to "chase and kill" Li Yuntian all the way from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion The deeds have already spread throughout the capital, and the palace naturally knows about it.

Li Yuntian naturally couldn't take the initiative to tell Emperor Hong Xi about this kind of private matter, and now that Emperor Hong Xi took the initiative to ask about this kind of private matter, it was obvious that he had a deeper impression of Li Yuntian, and those who understood could see at a glance that Li Yuntian's move was to refuse the "marriage" guaranteed by King Han.

"In a few days, I asked the queen to pass the Yingrui County Lord into the palace and said, the dignified imperial history has a family and can't go back, what kind of system is this." Emperor Hong Xi saw Li Yuntian's embarrassment, and immediately laughed.

The queen's mother has the responsibility of teaching the wives and daughters of hundreds of officials, so this "festival" between Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting is the most suitable for the queen to mediate.

"Thank you for the Emperor's grace." Li Yuntian bowed down when he heard this, and said loudly, secretly rejoicing in his heart, just giving Zhou Yuting an opportunity to get closer to the queen.

Emperor Hongxi's edict to Zhu Zhanqi was delivered to Zhu Zhanqi on the same day, and Zhu Zhanqi froze there after receiving the decree, knowing that it was better to follow Zhu Gaoxu back to Le'an, which was good, even his personal freedom was lost, and he was completely trapped in the ancestral tomb of Fengyang.

Racking his brains, Zhu Zhanqi didn't think of a countermeasure, so he had to take the tablet of Emperor Yongle to Fengyang to guard the ancestral tomb in accordance with the holy will of the edict, and reluctantly left the capital.

Zhu Zhanqi couldn't have imagined that he would never be able to leave Fengyang once he went to Fengyang, and the prosperity of the capital would become a memory remaining in his mind. One
