This place is close to the Imperial City, and not far ahead is Zhengyangmen, so although the name is not nice, the people who live here are also high-ranking officials.
Gu Dayong was leaning on the bed, wrapped in a small coat, with two hatbands tied under the coat. This kind of dress has a nickname, "a lotus", and it is often worn by eunuchs who are in charge of rituals.
They often serve the emperor, and if there is business before the emperor at night, they can quickly put on their clothes and accompany the emperor immediately.
Gu Dayong has been in the palace for more than thirty years and has become quite favored by the saints. He has long been accustomed to this, so even in his private residence, he keeps it as it is.
But, the one in the palace doesn't need him anymore. After stretching, Gu Dayong slowly sat upright.
When his nephew saw him getting up, he quickly went over to serve him diligently.
"Get out of here, I'm not really sick!" Gu Da pushed the person away with all his strength, the sinister look on his brows not dissipating.
Knowing that he was in a bad mood, his nephew couldn't let it go, so he could only comfort him in a low voice: "Uncle, that Lu Song is just a foolish and frivolous person. Now he is relying on Long Live to eat his family's milk and get into the position of Zuo Governor Qian.
You can fool the old people in the camp with just a wave of your hand, so there is nothing to worry about."
"You know nothing!" Gu Dayong rolled his eyes angrily.
Just three days ago, Jiajing suddenly promoted Jinyiwei Deputy Qianhu Lu Song to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Not only did he give him a third-grade official position to sit in the capital, but he also agreed to continue his post with Jinyiwei. In this way, Mr. Lu
All of a sudden, he went from a marginal figure to a very popular figure, and everyone in the capital was eager to have a relationship with him.
Among them, only Gu Dayong was unhappy. Without him, since Qian Ning, Jiang Bin, and Zhang Yongyin retreated, only Gu Dayong could speak in the capital camp. Even though he was an eunuch, with the support of Zhengde
He was also a soldier, and he even said that he had a large part of the credit for the establishment of the current Beijing camp.
And Lu Song airborne, obviously to steal food from his mouth!
Gu Dayong was unwilling to let go of his business over the years, so Zhang Yong invited him to retire with him, but he thought about it and finally refused.
He wants to take another gamble!
Eunuchs were completely the continuation of imperial power. Seeing that the emperor and the courtiers were at odds with each other, Jiajing did not dare to use them, so he naturally wanted to reuse eunuchs like Zhengde. Unlike Zhang Yong, who had a good character and moral character, Gu Dayong did a lot of wrongdoing after he became powerful.
There are countless political opponents. As long as you work together, even if nothing happens at the time, you will be constantly involved in the book after a period of time.
Therefore, he cannot retreat, and he must die in office!
In order for the emperor to continue to use him, the Beijing camp was his last trump card. However, Lu Song, a fool, climbed over him so easily. How could Gu Dayong be willing to accept it?
"It's all that bitch!" Gu Da used his eyes to turn red and threw his hat to the ground. Then he stepped up angrily and stepped on Xian Ruxing in the Fengxian Hall.
"If she hadn't persuaded Zhang Yong before, Zhang Yong would not have left. I can still hide Zhang Yong behind his back for a while! Now it's her again! After she finished talking to the emperor, Lu Song went to the capital camp! She is
I sincerely can’t get along with me!!”
Gu Dayong himself looked down on women. Although he was an incomplete man, in his heart, he was a hundred times better than the women raised in the backyard. However, the appearance of Xian Ruxing subverted his cognition. Thinking that he still had to deal with
Gu Dayong felt a sense of humiliation when a woman was groveling.
The nephew looked at his uncle who was pretending to be crazy and did not dare to say anything. After he finished venting, he whispered: "Your Majesty has to see the female Taoist priest all day now. It is the time when you are proud. It is better for your uncle to wait until she loses power before taking action."
…”
Before he finished speaking, Gu Da kicked him to the ground, "Are you still waiting? If you wait any longer, I'll be damned! Get out! You're useless and can't be of any help!"
After finally getting the order, my nephew got up from the ground with two ouches and quickly walked out. As a result, he was stopped again just as he opened the door.
"Wait a minute," Gu Dayong picked up his official hat and said viciously: "Go and inform the Chief of Ceremonies that I want to ask to see the Queen Mother Zhang."
It is better for women to deal with women's affairs, and he only needs to reap the benefits.
…
Dong Xiaoyi carried a few dead fish from the fish stall and walked calmly on his way home.
"Brother Xiao Yi, I'm going to make a fortune again."
"Brother Xiao Yi, when will you take me with you?"
"Brother Xiao Yi, let me chop the firewood for you and put it all at the door."
…
The neighbors he met all greeted him warmly, and it was completely obvious that he was avoiding him half a year ago.
Dong Xiaoyi responded with a smile, and didn't sneer until he was almost at the door of his house.
For those of you who look down on others, Brother B will not bother to talk to you.
His family lives in the suburbs of Beijing. The house left behind by his parents before their death is a private house, but it is not worth much money because of its poor location. Dong Xiaoyi is a bachelor and has a bare family. Sometimes the door is not even locked. He has a lot of money recently.
Somehow, I asked a carpenter to make a door bolt.
He was humming a song in a nonchalant voice and put his hand on the door. The door was pushed open with a "squeak" sound. Dong Xiaoyi was stunned. He remembered to close it before leaving.
However, before taking a closer look, he saw a slender woman squatting in her yard, teasing the cat in the cage with a wooden stick.
"Who are you..." Dong Xiaoyi asked in confusion.
The woman turned around, revealing a beautiful and beautiful face. The cinnabar mole between her eyebrows was as red as fire in the sun, "Boss, do you still remember me? I..."
How could Dong Xiaoyi forget that he was also very clever. He had a bad intuition before he understood what was going on, and then turned around and ran away without saying a word.
The woman, Xian Ruxing, sighed and let her finish what she said...
Sure enough, in just a moment, two strong men returned to the small courtyard with Dong Xiaoyi, who had a bruised nose and face.
"How come it's like this?" Xian Ruxing raised his eyebrows.
The strong man smiled apologetically and said, "This kid is as slippery as a loach. I don't want to teach you a lesson, so I'm worried about making you angry."
The other one hurriedly moved into the room and moved a dirty chair, wiped it with his sleeve and respectfully asked Xian Ruxing to sit down.
"It's okay, I'll talk standing up." Xian Ruxing shook his head, then looked at the haggard Dong Xiaoyi, and asked, "Does Mr. Dong know why I'm looking for you?"
"But what happened to the two kittens sold at the last food festival? It doesn't matter, I still have them here, why don't you pick two more?" Dong Xiaoyi said with a forced smile.
Xian Ruxing stared at him for a long time before Yun Danfeng said softly: "It's pointless if you act stupid like this."
The strong man picked up Dong Xiaoyi fiercely, and just as he was about to take action, he heard a scream and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong! Brother, please spare me!"
Then he turned around and said to Xian Ruxing: "I do know a red-haired barbarian who lives in the Siyi Pavilion, but it's just an acquaintance, and there is absolutely no deep relationship. Miss, you know this for sure!"
"Oh? Please tell me carefully." Xian Ruxing ordered someone to put him down and waited patiently for Dong Xiaoyi to speak.
Dong Xiaoyi swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "Actually, one time I went to help deliver food, and accidentally bumped into the red-haired barbarian. The red-haired barbarian's cat was sick, and I treated it with local remedies from the countryside.
After he was done with it, he gave me a skewer, and we started talking to him back and forth."
Xian Ruxing frowned. The Siyi Pavilion is affiliated to Honglu Temple. It was first an institution for training translators in the Ming Dynasty. Later, it also received envoys from various countries. It should be a place with high security. However, in the end, outsiders were allowed in and even talked to the envoys.
It can only be said that he is too relaxed.
Dong Xiaoyi frowned when he saw the other person, and his heart almost stopped. The woman in front of him looked like a fairy, but her methods were more ferocious than evil spirits. She watched people being beaten and tortured without even raising an eyelid. If I had known that day, the cat seller would have noticed something was wrong.
You should leave early!
In order to save his life, he could no longer care about so much and began to take the initiative to explain the whole story, "The red-haired barbarian seems to be a mixture of Dashi and Franji people. He just came to the capital not long ago. He always asks me for questions on weekdays.
Mostly it’s about what the common people eat and wear, is there anything popular, and how much does it cost?”
"Oh? You said it all?" Xian Ruxing smiled half-heartedly.
"How can you not! I'm a humble person, but I also know that Franji just fought with us, and the red-haired barbarian must not have his good intentions. Whoever does the traitorous thing is a bastard!" Dong Xiaoyi answered with great righteousness.
Just a few years ago, a Portuguese fleet landed on a beach at the mouth of Zhuhai and erected a stone tablet with the Portuguese flag as usual, indicating that this place has become their territory. If the Spanish and Dutch want to occupy it, they must first
I asked myself what I meant.
This act of treating the master like nothing naturally angered the Ming Dynasty. After two exchanges of fire, the Portuguese were beaten to pieces and could only pack up and run away. This attack took place at the end of the 16th year of Zhengde, when Jiajing had just ascended the throne, and Shang
I was busy with internal affairs, and it was already half a year later when I received the news that the local government had won the war.
Xian Ruxing beat her chest for this, only regretting that she did not seize the opportunity.
You must know that it is too difficult to find a Franji man in Beijing today. It is different from the Tang and Song Dynasties when all nations came to the DPRK and foreign businessmen came to do business. Zhu Yuanzhang has always been wary and suspicious of foreign businessmen, not only not allowing
Foreigners often stay in Daming. Even if many foreigners get passes, it is very difficult for them to come to Beijing.
Nowadays, most of the people living in the Seiyi Pavilion are envoys from neighboring countries such as Korea and Myanmar. It is rare to see a few Arabs here and there, let alone those from France who are far away. So I heard that
The man was of mixed race. Xian Ruxing suddenly thought of something and asked Dong Xiaoyi to tell his face and name one by one before leaving.
Dong Xiaoyi took a deep breath, thinking that he had finally overcome the difficulty. Unexpectedly, the woman only took two steps and then turned around and said: "By the way, in order to prevent anything from happening, I'll lock him up first and take good care of him.
It might still be useful in two days...ah, take the cat with you."
Dong Xiaoyi wanted to cry but had no tears, so in the end she had no choice but to leave obediently.:,,.
