Factory owner is king

Chapter 159 The Prince Enters Beijing 1
"We are friends. I hope you live well, but I don't want you to live better than me."

The contradictions of human nature, inner conflicts, and the cruelty of reality are vividly reflected in this sentence.

Qi Tai has never heard of this sentence, but at this moment, this sentence can properly express his inner entanglement.

Huang Zicheng was promoted from a Hanlin scholar to a minister of Taichang Temple, and at the same time he also held the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials (Du Ze was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and his original position was vacated).

And Qi Tai is still just the left servant of the Ministry of War.Under the circumstances of Ruyu's suppression and the check and balance of dozens of governors of the Fifth Army's governor's mansion, the title of servant does not seem to have much influence.

"Why on earth is this?" Qi Tai was puzzled. Yesterday when we met the Holy Spirit together in the Wenhua Palace, Huang Zicheng repeatedly contradicted the Holy Spirit. Why did he go straight up today?It can't be that the emperor likes to make himself unhappy, can he?

Thinking of this, Qi Tai couldn't help but look a little complicated when he looked at Huang Zicheng's back.

It's hard to say what a person's sixth sense is.You can't see it, you can't touch it, but it does exist.

Feeling a deep resentment, Huang Zicheng, who was also thinking about what happened this morning, stopped on the Jinshui Bridge, turned his head, and met Qi Tai's eyes.

Qi Tai was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward with some embarrassment: "Master Huang."

"Brother Qi." Huang Zicheng cupped his hands in return, and said with a smile, "You and I are old friends, why are you called an adult, so out of touch? But what did Huang do to offend Brother Qi?"

Qi Tai wanted to say, "You have been promoted, but I don't like it." But this is obviously unrealistic. After all, he is a conscientious scholar. Qi Tai saluted and said, "Brother Huang is laughing. Brother Huang has not done anything wrong." , It’s just that I have bad intentions, and I have disobeyed the teachings of the saints. I should be beaten, and I should be beaten.” As he spoke, he reached out and hit himself twice on the head.

Huang Zicheng stretched out his hand to stop him, wanting to laugh, but in the end he didn't laugh: "Brother Qi, I'm telling you the truth. Regarding what His Majesty did today, Brother Yu is also a monk of Zhang Er, so he can't figure it out.

And don't look at Brother Yu, I'm pretty on the surface, but in reality it's not that easy. "

"how?"

"Alas!" Huang Zicheng sighed heavily, reached out and slapped the stone beast on the bridge railing, and said, "Who is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel? Do I need to say more?"

"Du Ze?" A look of surprise appeared on Qi Tai's face, and he looked at Huang Zicheng with some sympathy.

As for how Du Ze became the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there are many rumors in the streets and in the court. There are many theories, but the most mainstream one is that he hooked up with the eunuch of Dongchang. Some said that he gave money to him, and some said that he donated money to him. Some even said that Du Ze recognized Xu Ruyi as his godfather, but none of them were good words.

Actually, Xu Ruyi really contributed to Du Ze's appointment as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but Du Ze didn't give any real benefits, let alone the absurd act of sacrificing his wife and acknowledging his father.I just wrote a letter expressing my willingness to obey orders in the future.

And Xu Ruyi didn't do much, and didn't even mention this matter to Zhu Yunwen.However, on a dark and windy night, he secretly met with Wang Wen, the right servant of the Ministry of Personnel, who was Du Ze's biggest competitor.The meeting place was in Wang Wen's treasure room.Behind the bookshelf in Wang's study room, there is probably more than a box of gold and silver and several calligraphy and paintings by famous artists.

She didn't say anything, didn't do anything, as if she really just met by chance, she nodded, and Xu Ruyi left.The next day, Wang Wen submitted his resignation letter, which made Zhu Yunqi feel baffled.

As soon as Huang Zicheng mentioned Du Ze, Qi Tai understood.Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, in short, Du Ze and the eunuchs of Dongchang must not be clear about it, otherwise how could it be groundless?

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai had always disliked the admiral eunuch in Dongchang.The two are related, and Huang Zicheng's job in the Ministry of Personnel is not likely to be easy.

The two of them looked at each other, feeling quite like brothers in need.But in his heart, Qi Tai still felt uncomfortable. Don't forget, Huang Zicheng was promoted to Minister of Taichang Temple. This was a real job. In theory, he was in charge of the Hanlin Academy (in fact, all the Hanlin bachelors were top people in the previous imperial examinations. He was proud of his talents and could communicate directly with the emperor, so he didn't care much about the jurisdiction of Taichang Temple Minister).

Thinking of their respective situations, they thought of Ru Yu and Du Ze.I thought of the two of them. . .

"Hiss~" Qi Tai suddenly took a breath: "Brother Huang."

"how?"

"Du Ze from the Ministry of Personnel, Ru Ruan from the Ministry of Military Affairs, so calculated, the six departments in the central government, the most important ones, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel, are all close to the head eunuch of Dongchang, this, this, this..."

Huang Zicheng sighed sadly: "I thought that His Majesty would reuse you and me when he ascended the throne. Many like-minded colleagues came to congratulate him, but Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin came out from the slant, and the eunuch in Dongchang made trouble from time to time."

Speaking of this, Huang Zicheng was filled with righteous indignation, and he couldn't help shouting: "The late emperor!!!"

In the arched door, a young eunuch who was sweeping looked at Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai who were not far away, smiled strangely, carried a broom, stooped, and walked into the palace with brisk small steps.

"Go, tell Liu Xi what you see and hear now." The fat old eunuch said with a smile, and the little eunuch turned around and ran away again, without putting down the broom in his hand.

. . . . . .

"Huh?" Zhu Yunwen saw Liu Xi talking to a young eunuch at the entrance of the palace and then came back. He couldn't help but look at Liu Xi curiously.

"Your Majesty." Liu Xi's face seemed to be very tangled, hesitant to speak, which made Zhu Yunqi feel a little uncomfortable.

"Tell me, what happened?" Zhu Yunqi asked again with some displeasure.

"Your Majesty, the little eunuch just now was the palace gate sweeper. He saw it, saw it..." Liu Xi's voice was low. He "saw it" for a long time and did not continue.

"Say what you see." Zhu Yunqi became a little impatient.

"I saw Master Huang and Master Qi talking on the Jinshui Bridge for a long time, and finally Master Huang shouted 'Xian Di', looking like a resentful society who has been wronged."

"Hehe." Zhu Yunqi laughed lightly, it seemed that Huang Zicheng had already seen that his future under Du Ze would not be too bright.

In fact, Zhu Yunqi didn't know that Du Ze was Xu Ruyi's person, but he was thinking about Du Ze and Huang Zicheng's opinion yesterday, and he expected that the relationship between the two would not be very good, so he made this arrangement.

"Humph, I should have found someone to treat you a long time ago, so that you would not have to scold me all day long. But..." Zhu Yunwen's face suddenly turned gloomy. "You shouted to the late Emperor on the Jinshui Bridge, are you dissatisfied with me and harbor resentment?" ?”

. . . . . .

The scene on the Jinshui Bridge, Zhu Yunxuan murmured, these news have not been sent back to Dongchang, in fact, even if they are sent back, no one will pay attention to them for a while.

In the East Factory, except for the black cat who was still "playing" in the prison, the other big figures, from Xu Ruyi and Yun Zheng, down to a few stalls, were all standing in the back of the East Factory together. Outside a quiet room.Besides them, Wang Yongzhen and Hua Pengfei were also there, and even little Ouyang stood quietly leaning on Dong Chao's fat arms.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the small door of the quiet room in front of them without blinking.Waiting for the result inside, waiting for a miracle to happen.

That's right, in the quiet room, Shen Hongxian was taking over for Yamazaki Tatsuya.There are three people in the quiet room, Shen Hongxian, Yamazaki Ryuya, and a passerby.

Yes, it’s passerby A. His name doesn’t matter.It seemed that he was the brother-in-law or uncle-in-law of some prisoner. Anyway, when were they both arrested and imprisoned together?Shen Hongxian said that his hand was the most suitable, so he was brought over.

"Why don't you come out, is there anything wrong?" Wang Yongzhen muttered to himself, with fine beads of sweat on his face and unspeakable nervousness, it looked as if his wife was giving birth inside. . .

This metaphor is not appropriate, but it is still very vivid.

Yu Yu chatter, Yu Yu chatter.The man who said it was troubled,

"Be quiet, I'll let you tell me what happened if it's okay!" Xu Ruyi kicked Wang Yongzhen on the butt without any force, but Wang Yongzhen was caught off guard and staggered.

"Brother Yongzhen, brother Long will be fine, don't worry." Ouyang's clear voice comforted.

It has to be said that girls do develop faster than boys, coupled with delicious food and drink, practicing martial arts and refining bones, Ouyang is only 13 years old now, but he is already about 1.5 meters six, except for his immature face, he is completely She looks like a big girl, except that her chest is a bit flat. . .

With a sound of "Squeak~", the door opened, and a graceful figure appeared in front of everyone, still dressed in white, but the face was no longer covered with a veil as before.

"How is it? Did it succeed?" Among the crowd, Wang Yongzhen was the first to step forward and ask.

Shen Hongxian raised her chin, snorted arrogantly, and walked in front of Ouyang: "Ouyang~, the weather is so nice today, let's go outside the city to catch butterflies?"

Perhaps because of the lack of female companions since childhood, Ouyang and Shen Hongxian became friends after only a few days. A little sister in red and a big sister in white seemed like sisters who had been separated for many years.

"No more." Ouyang shook his head and said, "Ouyang needs to see Brother Long to rest assured."

"Yeah, what happened?" everyone asked anxiously.

Although there should be no problem with Shen Hongxian's appearance, there is still a definite answer from her that can only land on the ground.

"Tch, what else can we do? It's just an arm connection, look at how surprised you are." Shen Hongxian rolled her eyes, then stretched: "He's asleep inside, see if you can, don't disturb him. Wait. When he wakes up, remember to tell him not to use any force on his arms for seven days. My master is tired, so go and rest first."

After finishing speaking, Shen Hongxian's waist swayed, and she left gracefully.

"I...I..." Gu Yue really blushed, looking at Shen Hongxian's beautiful back, stammering and trying to say something.

"Go ahead, I'm really convinced that you're not afraid of being beaten." Xu Ruyi waved her hand, Gu Yuezhen nodded vigorously, and hurriedly followed: "Miss Shen, wait for me, the road is dangerous, I will escort you back Room!”

"The head of the family still uses you as an escort? Recruit!"

"Ah~~~"

. . . . . .

Even seeing it with my own eyes at this moment is still so unbelievable.Ryu Yamazaki in front of him was also soundly asleep.The upper body is naked, and the right arm, which was originally empty, has now been connected.Except for the difference in skin color and a thin bloodstain, everything else seems to be the same as the original one.

How did you sew it without needles?Xu Ruyi reached out to touch it, but finally put the thought aside.Let's wait until he's fully healed.

A male corpse was lying quietly on the ground, his right arm was gone, blood was left all over the ground, and the room was filled with a bloody smell.It's just that no one cares.

"Okay, since you have nothing to do, let's leave first. Leave someone to take care of it, and remember to clean up the floor when you leave." Xu Ruyi gave a soft order, turned and left, there was nothing else to do.

All the way out of Dongchang, Xu Ruyi came to the backyard wall of Renxintang outside Dongzhimen.He didn't even knock on the door, just took a step forward and twisted his waist, and rushed in.

"Who!"

"It's me." Xu Ruyi said, Xunsheng walked into the back hall.

A strong herbal smell is stronger than ever.

Looking at the sweat on Li Er's forehead and the pale face of Qian Kemu on the kang, Xu Ruyi frowned and said, "Did you move? Did he hurt you?"

"This subordinate is careless for a while, please punish the sect master." Qian Kemu wanted to stand up and salute, but was stopped by Xu Ruyi.

"It's okay, just take care of your wounds, and we'll talk about it later." Xu Ruyi signaled Li Er to go to the backyard for a detailed discussion.

"That Ma Sanbao moved first?" Xu Ruyi frowned after hearing Li Er's story.

Ren Xiao had ordered him to take Ma Sanbao into the underground palace to worship the patriarch.That's why when Xu Ruyi learned that Ma Sanbao was also in the team coming to Nanjing, she asked Qian Kemu to contact him, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Now that I think about it, some things are indeed as simple as I thought.Ma Sanbao has lived in Yanwang's mansion for many years, and he is a member of Tianmen in name, but in fact he has no relationship with him.If Tianmen and Yanwangfu were really placed in front of him, I am afraid that it would be more likely to choose Yanwangfu.

It seems that we can't take him to the underground palace hastily.If he didn't know the seriousness and told Zhu Di or someone else, it might cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Sect Master." Li Ergong said in a loud voice, "Do you want to touch the young one again?"

"There's no need." Xu Ruyi shook her head and said, "Don't pay attention to him for the time being, our family will naturally talk to him when there is a chance, but right now is not the time, just keep an eye on him."

After a pause, Xu Ruyi asked, "By the way, do you have...the ones that can occur at regular intervals, and it's best for me to control the time."

He gave Xu Ruyi a weird look, and Li Er said, "Yes, but it's not as accurate as you said. It can only be roughly calculated as an onset time. One or two hours is still okay, but I don't know how to match it. We have to Hall Master is here."

"Okay, let him make me three pairs later, I want to use it."

"Yes."
