Chapter 281 Mutual attacks (Part 1)
As the snow was falling, Lu Feng changed into a black Confucian shirt with a few silver flowers sprinkled on it, showing the charm of the scholar. He squatted on the ground, carefully looked at the small red mud charcoal stove in front of him, and kept touching the copper kettle on it with his hands to test the water temperature. Old Eunuch Lu sat on the chair next to him with his legs crossed his legs, with a bright smile on his face. He looked at Lu Feng, who was determined to make tea for him with great pleasure.
The room was very quiet, and you could hear the sound of snowflakes falling on the ground outside. After Lu Feng brewed two cups of tea, he first brought one to the old eunuch Lu, and then put one in front of him. After smelling the scent of the air, Lu Feng exclaimed: "Where did my father get such good tea? It's rare."
Old Eunuch Lu narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said little by little, "Is this tea? Isn't it just the ones who are flattering and flattering below to His Majesty? The father took half of it out of the warehouse! Anyway, Your Majesty doesn't like this light tea, and he would rather drink the bitter food. Sooner or later, these good teas will be rewarded to the ministers, and it's better for us father and son to enjoy it first. Oh, what's going on next to you recently? Hey, your oil and water are getting more and more, and you've gotten cheaper and cheaper."
The old eunuch Lu was so proud. Lu Feng was his adopted son. He sent a lot of bribes to the eunuchs in the palace every now and then. Who wouldn’t talk about the benefits of Lu Feng in one word? The old eunuch Lu knew the collusion in the palace. Seeing that Lu Feng was so happy with the eunuchs in the harem, he was also happy. "If you want to say that the Lord Highness will succeed the throne in the future, then Li Zi would have to take over the position of his father. But when he was a young eunuch, he arrived at the first time, and the affairs in the palace were still controlled by other eunuchs in charge."
He nodded and praised: "You can have a good relationship with those eunuchs now. Even if your father is gone in the future, at least no one in the palace will cause you to stumbling. This is a good thing, but you should be more cautious when giving money in the future, especially don't give it to the horse and the little boy. Fortunately, he is now going to supervise the treasure ship, otherwise he will be the one who will not be able to collect money."
Lu Feng took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Father, you can live at least 100 years old. What do you say if you are gone in the future? Eunuch Ma is someone I have always admired, so naturally I will not touch his bad luck. As for the other father-in-law in the palace, I have a good relationship with me. I will not be afraid that they will fight back in the future and follow the two high men to cause trouble for me."
The old eunuch Lü laughed a few times, put down his legs, sat upright on the Grand Master's chair, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then he leaned over the table and looked at Lu Feng in a low voice: "Then, do you know what those two high men are doing now in the local area? You have to grasp their every move so that it is convenient to act." The dark oil lamp flashed, and the old eunuch Lü's voice seemed to be a ghost whispering. "Fengzi, be careful, that second highness is not a person who is willing to let go. Hey, father-in-law, I... I have heard some wind noises for my father."
Lu Feng suddenly realized that there was an official in the court who was affiliated with the old eunuch Lu, so he leaked out some things that should be said or not. He nodded and lowered his voice and said, "Well, thank you for your reminder. Tsk, the second highness is very powerful in the military, but in terms of civil servants in the court, our master is still stronger. To be honest, unless he also rebels, the throne will not be his turn."
The old eunuch Lu sneered a few times. He retracted his body, grabbed the teacup and took a sip, and said vaguely: "I am afraid that he really dares to raise an army. You must be careful, not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid that if. You Fengzi and your junior brother Li Hu are all the generals favored by His Majesty, and have made a lot of military achievements. But you must remember that the only generals in the entire court can stand on your side. Except for Mahe, the other generals are all from the Second Highness." After saying that, he immediately closed his mouth.
A young eunuch in his twenties walked in slowly, holding a plate of peanuts in his hand. Lu Feng took the peanuts and scolded him. After he took the peanuts, the old eunuch Lu personally ran over and closed the door, then returned to his seat to sit down. He poured a cup of tea. Old eunuch Lu pinched a peanut with his fingers and rubbed off the thin skin on it, threw it into his mouth and chewed it. He said vaguely: "Well, this peanut is good. Eating some peanuts in the middle of winter is good. Peanuts and walnuts can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs. The best thing for the elderly is to eat."
Lu Feng laughed in his heart. Although the old eunuch Lu is also a person outside of the sixty years old, he has already entered the innate realm. His body is probably stronger than that of a young man in his thirty years old. He only looks older, but his physical strength is very good. But since he hits the old man in front of him, then be filial to himself. At that moment, Lu Feng said: "This is true. If you are cold today, you have to pay attention to your health. Tomorrow, I will ask your subordinates to get some good honey and prepare some pills for you to enjoy it."
The old eunuch smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, hey, you gave the emperor a mantra of practicing Taoism. He wants to live forever... Haha, let's give the same mantra to the father. We have to accompany His Majesty, right? Otherwise, His Majesty will live forever and always hold the power of the world. If we don't have our family to accompany us, wouldn't it be lonely?"
Lu Feng was secretly shocked. How did this old eunuch know that he gave Zhu Di the Taoist practice? Zhu Di was extremely secretive when practicing every night. The only thing that could leak was that he gave him the mantra on the prairie. Well, it seemed that the old eunuch had arranged a lot of master guards around the emperor. He could hear him and Zhu Di talking in the tent from such a distance. He smiled and nodded, and promised: "This is naturally. But the mantra I gave to Your Majesty naturally cannot be given to you by your father."
He smiled so warmly and said very considerately: "If you say something that should be done with your mouth, your father's body is a bit lacking, and the practice of this practice cannot be the same as that of ordinary people. I finally got a 'Nine Yin Technique' here, which is the ultimate Yin mental method, which is exactly what you want!" After saying that, Lu Feng touched his arms for a while, and took out an old scroll from Qiankun bag.
The old eunuch Lu loved Lu Feng deeply, and he was not angry with some of the descriptions in Lu Feng's words. He took the scroll with excitement and stroked it for a long time. Then he said with a smile: "Forget it, it's still a child, you are filial. Humph, those little guys will send some gold, silver and jewelry one by one. Although I like money, it's not interesting if there are too many."
After carefully putting the scroll in his arms and packing it up, the old eunuch Lu proudly took out a big east bead from his sleeve and rubbed it with his palm. He said slowly: "I have practiced a new skill recently, but the palm power has become more and more powerful. After practicing it to become the true essence of a practitioner, I am afraid that the power of the 'Heart Concentrating Palm' for my father's 'Heart Concentrating Palm' can even kill the gods. However, this palm power has to be continuously absorbed to cultivate it. It has consumed two buckets of pearls so far."
Lu Feng knew it and hurriedly said, "What's the difficulty? Just a pearl. Among the children of the children of the famous jewelry family, there are a few children of the big jewelry family who ask them to pay tribute to three big beads every month. The children can exchange them for at most a few official positions, and everyone can get what they need, so they will be happy."
Nodded, he saw about a little white marking in the palm of the old Eunuch Lu's palm flashing. The big Dongzhu shattered into powder with a "bang" sound. All the fluorescent pearls were sucked in. The light of the white markings increased slightly. The old Eunuch Lu said gloomyly: "Where did you just talk about it? The Second Highness, before you entered the Crown Prince's Mansion, you had already followed His Majesty to the battlefield several times. He was the first brave general in the royal palace at that time."
"You also know about the military affairs. Only by recognizing friendship will you not care about how high your newcomer's military post or how powerful it is. You and Zhang Yu, they will get along well, but as long as the Second Prince passes a letter, they will not pay attention to you immediately. The troops of the Ministry of War are the people from the Yan Prince's Mansion in the past, so the Ministry of War and the Second Prince collude closely, which is what you know... Fengzi, you have to be careful. The best way is to undermine Zhang Yu, and let their generals become your confidants, and then everything is right."
He smiled viciously, raised his palms and looked at it proudly, nodded and said, "As for the people in the Ministry of War, you can design that they will die if they are killed by accident, and that they can make some romantic affairs and be deposed by His Majesty. In short, the army is in hand and there is no fear of anything. You and Li Hu combined with more than 100,000 yuan. If you want to fight with the Second Highness, it will not be possible without an army."
Lu Feng lowered his head and asked with a pure look: "The Second Highness is the prince, I am afraid he will not raise an army to rebel?"
The old eunuch Lu picked up the teacup and drank it all, with a green light flashing in his eyes, and cursed in a low voice: "So what about the prince? The founding emperor of our Ming Dynasty was still a gangster on the ground. Benevolence, righteousness, morality, and ethics, don't tell them about these things to their Zhu family. If ethics are useful to their Zhu family, Emperor Taizu would kill Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu and others? His Majesty would raise an army to drive Zhu Yunwen away? Humph, don't believe these."
He whispered in a low voice: "Anyway, you have to remember one thing, you have to think about Zhang Yu, these great masters of the world will go against you, and they will stab you in the back. So, you are ready to kill them now. If they die, you will be the biggest in the world. What are you afraid of then? If you have the military power, hehe, although you recognize your father-in-law and I am a father, what do you want to do then? Isn't it possible to do the same?"
Speaking of this, the old eunuch Lu had a ferocious face. How could he be the eunuch who was loyal to the emperor during the day? He patted his thighs and crossed his legs and hummed: "When you have gained military power, if you don't want to do that, then you will enjoy wealth and prosperity for the rest of your life. Anyway, you have achieved success in your Taoism, and it will be no problem to live for three or five hundred years. Being an official is impatient, give power to someone you can rest assured, and you will leave at that time."
He licked his lips and said disdainfully: "Don't say anything about Zhang Yu, you can have a friendship with you. Fengzi, this friendship is unreliable. It's not our own people, it's absolutely unreliable. In this world, who do I believe in? Who can I believe in? You are the only one, so how can I not plan for you?" He snorted coldly: "You, sometimes you are still too kind and ruthless. We are human beings, we can't wait for others to harm us. If we kill them first, will the world be peaceful?"
"Anyway, those who can threaten us will be killed in the future. This is how I have been through this life, at least with thousands of heads, and climbed to the position of the head of the palace. Now that I have been in the palace, I have been in charge of the palace. This year, more than 300 new eunuchs have been killed, and those newly elected palace maids have also killed more than 100 people... Let me tell you, it is not easy to be an official, especially for us, the powerful officials in our hands, which is even more difficult to be a person."
Shaking his head and sighed for a while, the old eunuch Lu smiled and patted Lu Feng's head, nodding and said, "You look really like the young man who was a father. When you first entered the palace to meet the prince, your father-in-law was stunned. It was like me when I was young, and I walked in face to face. Tsk tsk, otherwise why would you say that my father-in-law is so close to you? So, you must remember these good words, and you will never enjoy it for the rest of your life."
He trembled and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, put it on the table, and said insidiously: "That's right, those civil and military ministers are willing to make cows and horses for their children, and those who are filial sons and grandchildren, so that they can rise. Those who are higher than you and do not listen to you will think of ways to kill him so that your official position can be preserved... Especially those generals in the army, you have to pay attention, but don't let them harm you first."
Lu Feng was humbly taught and took the piece of paper and looked at it. Old Eunuch Lu snorted: "This is the man who was arranged by my father-in-law, the queen, the concubine and the others. If you want them to do something for you in the future, just find them directly... What is the most useful thing in this world? Pillow Feng, hey! Your Majesty is the king of Shenwu, but why is he also a man? If a man is a man, he can't escape the heart of a woman's palm!" Old Eunuch Lu smiled proudly.
"The power in secret will be handed over to you step by step sooner or later. You can try it first. I have been in charge for decades, and I have a lot of hands and feet in secret, and I can't tell you clearly for a while. Well, it's like the Tenglong secret spy, and I'm also divided into two groups inside and outside. What you control now is the outer group. Tomorrow, I'll hand over the inner group to you, huh?" Old Eunuch Lu picked up his chin.
Lu Feng quickly stood up and thanked him: "The child is really frightened, this..."
The old eunuch Lu was happy again: "Forget it, as long as you have filial piety, it is better than anything else. Well, the sky is so dark, it is not good to stay in the palace... Well, you have very deep skills now, don't walk through the gate, just jump out of the wall, so as not to be seen by the guards, saying that we are colluding with too much between our internal and external ministers." The old eunuch Lu suddenly smiled evilly: "Hey, father-in-law, I will tell you, your kung fu is good now, no one in the palace can control you, don't run in the middle of the night and steal the new palace maids. This is not OK."
He squeezed his eyes, but Lu Feng smiled without any change, "Come on, you are happy with your child again. Do you dare to touch this emperor's forbidden body? You have a good rest. You can start practicing the Nine Yin Technique... You take your leave." Lu Feng bowed his fists and carefully placed the piece of paper in his sleeve, then walked out with great strides.
While walking, Lu Feng thought, "What the adoptive father said makes sense. Zhang Yu, the man with many troops is more than me. If they really collude with the Second Prince, what if His Majesty has a bad temper and is so obsessed with it, then... Well, it should be arranged early. Isn't it the darkest place in the world the imperial family? If you don't want to die with our master, you can only let others die... Hey, I have to look for monk Daoyan and others tomorrow. No matter how I say I am a Dharma protector, I can't say hello if I don't say hello often."
A sinister smile appeared on his face. Lu Feng looked around and only the four confidants of the old eunuch Lu were sending him to his back. He didn't say much. His body flashed, turned into a ray of blue smoke, and passed through the wall, rushed out of the palace directly. Those loyal patrol guards could not see his figure, and he jumped over the palace with a swagger.
Shui Yuanzi sat on the roof of the high hall watching the snow. Suddenly, he saw Lu Feng's figure floating over from a distance, and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I thought there was no one to play with my grandfather, but I didn't expect this kid to sleep. Hehe, I'll find him to have a good time. Boy Lu always has good wine in his hand, so he can't let him go... Damn, he actually asked me to protect the little emperor. His true energy cultivation is almost at the stage of the alchemy. What else do you want me to protect the law? Go, I deserve it, it's fun to change the emperor!"
