The capital was quiet for a moment, but this quietness only lasted for one day.

The show has begun.
There was still one day before the vassals entered the palace to pay their respects. In the Shuntian Mansion Prison, the first thing Liu Chengfeng did when he woke up was to sit cross-legged on the couch and ask the jailer outside to call the prison head.
The prison boss did not dare to neglect, and rushed over quickly, waiting obediently outside for Liu Chengfeng's instructions.
Liu Chengfeng sat there looking calm, but his first words startled the prison boss.
"Prison Leader Li, I have received so much care from you these days. Liu is about to be released from prison today. I would like to express my special thanks to you."
Li LaoTou was shocked and was released from prison...
As the prison chief, he had not heard any news about Liu Chengfeng being released from prison. Yesterday, Mr. Fu Yin called him and asked him to take good care of him. Why did he have to be released from prison today?
Li Laotou couldn't help but said: "Master Hou is really going to be released from prison?"
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help laughing heartily while sitting in the cell, and said: "Is this still false? I said I would be released from prison today, and I will be released today. I am about to leave, and I have something I must explain to Li Laotou.
, there is one in my quilt
You can take care of these scraps of silver when the time comes. Also, these books, pens and inks, and daily utensils that Li Laotou bought for me. If Li Laotou thinks they are useful, take them and use them. Treat them as Liu Cheng’s.
The wind appreciates you, so you don’t have to be polite."
"Yes, yes..." Li Laotou was suspicious, but in front of Liu Chengfeng, he could only say yes repeatedly and did not dare to disobey anything. Moreover, Liu Chengfeng's utensils were really valuable, and he was willing to do so.
Rewarding him would also be beneficial to Li Laotou.
"But, I still have a few words to say. Later, you go buy some pastries. I've run out of tea here, so I'll just make a tael of Wuyi tea. I want a richer breakfast today."
Liu Chengfeng doesn’t have any
He ordered politely, and then said: "By the way, you ask someone to go to the East Palace. You don't have to go to see the prince. You only need to say hello to the concierge of the East Palace and tell Liu Chengfeng that he is ready. I leave the rest to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Already."
After hearing about the East Palace, Li Laotou immediately understood, who is Liu Chengfeng? He is a brother-in-law of His Highness the Crown Prince. For such a person, he said that he would certainly be released from prison, but he was overly worried. But then
, Li Laotou thought of some rumors again. It is said that Liu Chengfeng has committed quite a lot of crimes. Can His Royal Highness really help him get out of trouble? If he could get out of trouble, wouldn't he have been released from prison a few days ago? Why wait until today?
?
Li Laotou thought about it and became even more confused. However, since Liu Chengfeng gave the order, he did not dare to say anything and said quickly: "I will send someone to take care of the things that the Marquis wants to buy. As for delivering them to the East Palace,
Regarding the news, I will go there in person. Please bear this in mind."
Then, without saying anything, Prison Leader Li called a jailer, gave instructions, then changed out of his official uniform, put on civilian clothes, and left the prison. In fact, when he came out, Prison Leader Li even thought that this was the time
It’s not that I want to report the news to Mr. Fu Yin. After all, Mr. Liu has given orders. Every move of this Liu Chengfeng
Every move was reported. But soon, Li Laotou gave up the idea. He couldn't talk about this kind of thing. After all, he was sending a message to the East Palace. If Mr. Fu Yin interfered then, wouldn't Liu Chengfeng and the prince want to settle accounts with him?
?If you offend the governor, at most the prison guard will stop being a prisoner. If you offend the prince, it’s a different matter whether your life can be saved.
Li Laotou quickly arrived at the East Palace and informed the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper glanced at him lazily and said that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door was actually the same in the East Palace. No one cares about the little eunuch at the door.
In my eyes, to this
Naturally, Li Laotou would not be polite. However, when the disciple heard that it was Liu Chengfeng who had asked someone to deliver it, he did not dare to be rude and went in quickly to report. After a while, he said to Li Laotou: "Your Highness, please come in immediately.
answer."
Li Laotou couldn't help but get a little excited. He straightened his hat and carefully entered the East Palace. He was led to a small hall. He saw Zhu Houzhao in military uniform. He seemed to be a general about to go on an expedition. When he saw Li Laotou, he said
: "Master Liu, are you okay?"
Of course, Li Laotou knew something about the relationship between Liu Chengfeng and the prince, so he was not surprised when the prince called Liu Chengfeng Master Liu. It was just the first time he saw such a scene, and he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head.
He just said: "Returning to Your Highness, I don't dare to slight the Marquis of Lianzhou. It's okay for the Marquis of Lianzhou to be in prison."
Li Laotou was also a scheming person, and this reply was very appropriate. It not only showed that he had made a great contribution to serving Liu Chengfeng, but also brought him peace.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, very good, you are a sensible person, Liu Banban, I will reward him later." After that, he said to Li Laotou: "Master Liu really asked you to come.
Send a message to me and tell me to take action now?"
Li Laotou didn't know what he was doing, but Li Laotou knew that this matter was very important, so he quickly said: "I don't dare to hide it from you. The Marquis' original words are: Ask the villain to come to the East Palace, there is no need to meet the prince in person.
, just say hello to the concierge of the East Palace and say that the Marquis is fully prepared, and leave the rest to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief, cheered up, and suddenly became eager to try, and said: "Okay, you go down, I know this, Liu Banban, take him out."
Liu Jin, who was standing aside, bowed to Zhu Houzhao and led Li Laotou out.
Zhu Houzhao excitedly asked Zhang Yong to get a letter, and then said to Zhang Yong: "Zhang Banban, I have always known that you are the most courageous. Please go to Honglu Temple and submit this letter to the envoy of Wasi State.
Zhang Banban, this matter is very important. If there is any mistake, you don’t have to come back. If you do well, I will naturally reward you."
Zhu Houzhao rarely looks serious. Today is a bit different from the past. The playful and smiling expression has been swept away, replaced by solemnity. Zhang Yong certainly knows the weight of Zhu Houzhao's words, so how can he dare to say anything?
? He said quickly: "My servant will go now. Don't worry, Your Highness. Not to mention that it's just the envoy of Wa Ci, even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I won't even frown."
After that, Zhang Yong took the letter and quickly put it away without even looking at it. He quickly left the East Palace, asked someone to prepare a carriage, and went directly to Honglu Temple.
When you arrive at Honglu Temple, the guards at the entrance must stop you. After all, Honglu Temple is different from the past. With so many envoys coming in and out, the security and ban must be stricter.
Zhang Yong shouted at the top of his lungs: "I've blinded your dog's eyes. I've blinded your dog's eyes. Do you know who the Za family is? Whose order did you come here to do business? Get out of the way quickly. If you dare to stop me again,
Zajia will beat you to death."
As soon as these officers heard Zhang Yong's words and called themselves the Zajia family, they immediately understood that this was a father-in-law. The number of people who could control the father-in-law could be counted on half a hand in the entire Ming Dynasty. The arrogance of the people naturally faded a bit.
The officer put on a smile, saluted Zhang Yong, and said, "I wonder what business my father-in-law has come to Honglu Temple for? You guys might as well report it to the official."
Zhang Yong's face was livid, and he said in an evil voice: "Wang Zhi, you can inquire about any official business in the palace? Hurry up and lead the way to the Zajia family to see the envoy Wasi!"
Zhang Yongyue's bossy and tough attitude made these officers feel that something was wrong. When it came to this matter, they did not dare to hesitate any more. Several officers looked at each other, and then one of them said with a smile: "Please, father-in-law."
Come with me." After saying that, he led Zhang Yong into Honglu Temple.
Another officer quickly went to report it.
Zhang Yong followed the officer to a courtyard. Outside the courtyard, he saw a few Mongolian warriors wearing furs guarding the outside. They looked at the people who came, jabbered a few words towards Zhang Yong, and then blocked Zhang Yong's attack.
way out.
Zhang Yong tried to negotiate, but found that these Mongolian warriors did not understand Chinese. When they were in trouble, a man who looked like a Mongolian noble came out, looked at Zhang Yong, and said in stiff Chinese: "Who are you? Come on.
What are you doing here?"
Zhang Yong said seriously: "The Za family, by order of His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, have a letter to present to the envoy of Wasi."
The Mongolian noble seemed to hesitate for a moment, then went in to report.
Every year when the Mongols enter the DPRK, both the Wasi and the Tatar tribes enter the capital together, but there are still rules. For example, it means that the Mongolian envoys alternate between the two tribes. The last Mongol envoy
He was a Tatar, and this time he was replaced by Qinggeltai, the Taifu of Waca.
Both Waci and Tatar claimed to be the orthodox of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and even the official positions were inherited. However, the Mongols had many official positions in the Yuan Dynasty, and now they are weak. It is really a bit difficult to seal off all the officials and titles.
Embarrassed, just like
For example, in the Yuan Dynasty, the Tutor of the Wasaci tribe was a high-ranking official. But in the Wasaci tribe, it was actually just a title. A Tutor could have a salary of at most three sheep per year, and even the Eight Classics of Zheng'er.
The powerful ministers are not counted as such.
This situation is particularly serious in Wasai. Although the current population of Wasai is only a few million, officials such as Tai Tu, Young Tutor, and Young Master have divided hundreds of people into enfeoffments. The people of Wasi like this, and there is no need to do so anyway.
People manage.
However, this Qinggeltai is not an ordinary person. He is the leader of a tribe of Wasi. He is known to be brave and understands Chinese. Therefore, he is deeply loved by Wasi Khan. This time, he was sent as an envoy.
It was Qinggertai's idea that the Waci people proposed to enter the palace through Daming Gate to embarrass the Ming court. Qinggertai's intention was simple, to use this difficulty to force Ming Dynasty to make concessions in other aspects.
Qinggeltai was practicing martial arts in the backyard school at this time. When he heard someone reporting that the letter was coming from the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, he wiped his sweat, threw the long knife in his hand on the ground, and said: "What is the barbarian prince going to do?
But I’ve heard for a long time that he likes to drink mare’s milk on our grasslands and like to live in tents on our grasslands. Maybe he’s here to curry favor with us warriors on the grasslands.”
