Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan defended the Wenhua Palace twice in a row...and drove away Wei Jinzhong twice in a row...
Not long after Ma Xiaoquan and Yang Lian took over, Wei Jinzhong came again.
This time, there were actually several Ouchi guards who came with them.
Wei Jinzhong had already made up his mind that as soon as he saw Ma Xiaoquan, he would immediately rush up and beat him up, but... when he approached the gate of Wenhua Hall, he saw that it was... Yang Lian from the Military Department, who was involved in the incident. Master Yang.
Before Wei Jinzhong could speak, Yang Lian was the first to attack, scolding Wei Jinzhong for not knowing how to appreciate others and for helping the tyrants... All the sharp words that Yang Lian could use were all used on Wei Jinzhong's head.
Although Eunuch Wei was illiterate and didn't bother to read, judging by the excitement from Yang Lian and the expression of Wang Tigan behind him who was covering his mouth and wanting to laugh, those words must not be good words.
"What a joke!" Wei Jinzhong slapped Wang Tiqian.
This time Wang Tigan acted like a thief. When Wei Jinzhong made the move to slap him, Wang Tigan was already ready to dodge. Sure enough, when Eunuch Wei made the move, Wang Tigan twisted around and dodged.
"" Wei Jinzhong didn't slap his face, but kicked the king's body with his big foot.
If you avoid a slap, you may not be able to avoid a foot. Before Wang Tigan started to feel proud of avoiding Eunuch Wei's slap, he was hit by Eunuch Wei's big foot on his buttocks.
With a "pop" sound, Wang Tigan came to eat shit.
Wei Jinzhong said angrily: "Yang Lian, get out of my way."
Yang Lian laughed, patted his chest and said, "Wei Jinzhong, if you have the ability, step over my body, Yang Lian."
Wei Jinzhong snorted and took a step forward, but soon he took two steps back.
"Okay, Yang Lian, Mr. Yang, if you are ruthless enough, I, Wei Jinzhong, will remember you. One day, I will step over you." After Wei Jinzhong finished speaking, he waved, and the eunuch guards retreated.
Yang Lian looked at the retreating figures of Wei Jinzhong and others with a cold snort, and said to himself: "I'm waiting, humiliate Wei Jinzhong, but remember, I, Yang Lian, only surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and I will not surrender to anyone else." Take it seriously"
After Yang Lian finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and strode toward the center of the Wenhua Hall.
...
The sky was already bright, and Ma Xiaoquan estimated that if calculated according to the current twenty-four-hour clock, it should be past ten o'clock.
At this time, Jin Yiwei, who had not shown up until now, finally appeared.
The fact that Jinyiwei could appear at this time has already shown that they recognized Zhu Youxiao's identity as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, everyone present knew it well and no one pointed it out.
With the addition of Jin Yiwei, the guard work of Wenhua Palace is no longer a worry.
Next, Li Xuanshi sent people to ask for Zhu Youxiao, but as soon as they saw the Jin Yiwei, those guys who came to ask for Zhu Youxiao all went back to their lives in despair.
...
According to the countermeasures discussed in advance, the ministers first sent Zhu Youxiao to Ciqing Palace.
This Ciqing Palace was originally the location of the Prince's East Palace. Sending Zhu Youxiao to Ciqing Palace also meant that he would be in the East Palace.
But... if Zhu Youxiao wants to ascend the throne and inherit the throne, he must return to the Qianqing Palace, otherwise... he will still not be able to become the emperor in the true sense.
The ministers were still arguing over how and when Zhu Youxiao would ascend the throne, and time passed by bit by bit in such a noisy environment.
Before that, Ma Xiaoquan helped Mrs. Ma back to Ma's house, settled down with Mrs. Ma to rest, and then rushed to Ciqing Palace.
Entering the palace again, Ma Xiaoquan no longer had the customs clearance document from before, but... the sky was getting dark, and Ma Xiaoquan didn't care much about it.
The walls of the Forbidden City, the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty, were not as high as those of the Qing Dynasty. Ma Xiaoquan climbed up without much effort. Of course, due to the recent death of Emperor Taichang, the guards of the imperial city were relatively relaxed. Otherwise, Ma Xiaoquan would have also
It is impossible to climb over the wall so smoothly.
When we arrived at Ciqing Palace, it was completely dark.
Following the dots of oil lamps along the way, Ma Xiaoquan came to the door of the bedroom where Zhu Youxiao was temporarily staying.
"Who?" When the two Jinyi guards saw Ma Xiaoquan, they quickly pulled out the embroidered spring knife from their waists.
Ma Xiaoquan raised his hands: "Excuse me, please tell me that Ma Xiaoquan wants to see you."
Before the two Jinyi guards could say yes, the door creaked open.
"Ma Xiaoquan? Is it really you? You disappeared that time. I thought you left without saying goodbye."
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged his shoulders, and the two Jinyi guards looked at each other and then gave way, but they still held the embroidered spring knife tightly in their hands.
Zhu Youxiao shook his head and ordered: "Don't worry, Ma Xiaoquan is my friend."
With Zhu Youxiao's words, the two Jinyi guards slowly put away the Xiuchundao.
Zhu Youxiao stepped forward, took Ma Xiaoquan's hand, and said happily: "Ma Xiaoquan, please don't leave at night. I'm a little scared. Come chat with me. Well, the guest lady is not here either. You stay with me."
Let’s talk”
Ma Xiaoquan hummed: "Okay!"
Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed and quickly ordered his servants to prepare some delicious cakes to greet Ma Xiaoquan, which aroused the envy of all the royal guards guarding the door.
Ma Xiaoquan was not such an ignorant person. When he saw the Jin Yiwei curling their lips, Ma Xiaoquan smiled, took the cakes, and gave a piece to each of the Jin Yiwei outside the door.
This move of Ma Xiaoquan quickly won the favor of all the Jin Yiwei. After going back and forth, Ma Xiaoquan became familiar with these Jin Yiwei.
Although Zhu Youxiao has not yet become the real emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he already has the intention, but the situation is lacking.
Since Zhu Youxiao was still in a young age and didn't have any airs, he got along well with the Jin Yiwei.
A group of royal guards surrounded Zhu Youxiao and Ma Xiaoquan in the center, firstly to protect them, and secondly to listen to Ma Xiaoquan's stories.
It was a long night, and Zhu Youxiao didn't feel sleepy at all. Although Ma Xiaoquan was a little tired, he could only cheer up and tell the boy a story.
This group of Jinyi guards were also very loyal. They found a jar of good wine from somewhere and handed it to Ma Xiaoquan. Although Ma Xiaoquan was not strong enough to drink, he could still drink a little bit.
The story was told until late at night. Because Ma Xiaoquan made every story interesting and vivid, no one felt sleepy at all.
During this process, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly had an idea: If he became a royal guard...would it be easier for him and the Ma family in the future?
