Cai Xinghai was not the first eunuch to join the "Bitter Life", but he was one of the most popular members. After leaving the palace, he did not forget his original promise - once rich and noble, never forget the old knowledge, and still keep in touch with the people in the palace.
Just this afternoon, he received a letter, the envelope was written: husband personally, wife Cui's handwritten.
Seeing that the emperor and empress had changed their names, Cai Xinghai was filled with righteous indignation, and when he heard that a group of soldiers from the Eighth Battalion of Suwei were going to make trouble at the Marquis Mansion, he became more and more furious. After dark, he marched into the city, and lived in various places. He agreed to gather after nightfall, and the Marquis Mansion would be fine if nothing happened. If there was any abnormality, he would have to "rescue him" a second time.
He came just in time.
Cai Xinghai hadn't read the letter, but he could guess the general content from the titles of "husband" and "wife".
There was a lantern left in the front yard, Han Ruzi leaned over, opened the letter and read it again, looked up at Yang Feng and Cai Xinghai, lowered his head and read it again, then handed the letter to Yang Feng and nodded at Cai Xinghai, indicating that he can watch.
The letter is not long, only a few words: At dusk on the fifth day of December, the car will leave the palace, if the husband is interested, take his wife back to the house;
The content was similar to Cai Xinghai's guess. He raised his head and said blankly, "Of course we have to take it back. One day husband and wife are a hundred days old. If you don't take it back, where can she go?"
Yang Feng glanced at Cai Xinghai coldly, returned the letter, and asked, "What is the plan of Hou Juan?"
"She wants to come... I'll pick her up." Han Ruzi felt that this was the right thing to do.
Cai Xinghai was overjoyed, but Yang Feng shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty abdicates on the third day of the third year, and on the fifth day of the first year will go to the palace to rob people, this..."
Cai Xinghai hurriedly said: "It's not the palace, it's outside the palace, Mrs. Juan Hou is likely to be sent back to the Cui family..."
"That's not the same. The Empress Dowager and the Cui Clan competed against each other, and everyone else retreated far away. You let Hou Juan rush up?"
Cai Xinghai did not dare to make a sound.
Han Ruzi respected Yang Feng, thought for a while, and said, "You have read a lot of history books, and there were emperors who abdicated in the past. What happened to the queen at that time?"
Yang Feng said helplessly: "Usually speaking, they will also abdicate together. In the previous dynasty, there was an empress who married the next emperor, and she was still the empress."
"Our queen won't. She said 'the car drove out of the palace'. She certainly didn't come out casually, but... she was kicked out." Cai Xinghai received the queen's full support when he rescued the driver in the palace, so he also gave his full support. Queen, although already a former queen.
Yang Feng's heart moved, since he was expelled from the palace, he has not participated in the important affairs of the court anymore, and he can only guess about many things, "I will leave the palace at dusk on the fifth day of the first day, does the queen mother want to establish a new emperor on that day?"
When the new emperor ascended the throne, naturally he could no longer keep the old queen in the palace, Cai Xinghai slapped his thigh, "It must be the case, who will become the new emperor, the king of the East Sea? Marquis Tien, can't leave his wife to him, maybe the fifth day After leaving the palace, he was taken back on the sixth day of the sixth day."
Han Ruzi no longer hesitated, "We must bring her back. We are husband and wife, and even the Queen Mother and the Cui family cannot separate us."
Cai Xinghai bowed, Yang Feng said nothing.
Han Ruzi did not ask Yang Feng for help, but said to Cai Xinghai, "I need your help, how many people do you have?"
"More than 30, give me some time, and I can call some more. Some of them are my friends before I entered the palace, and some of them are people I met after I became an Overseer. They are all willing to help me, no problem."
"There are fifteen more eunuchs in the mansion...should be enough. Let's first find out when the madam will leave the palace and from which door, and wait in the middle of the way, swarming up..."
Yang Feng couldn't bear it any longer, and interrupted Hou Juan, "You are making a fool of yourself, Baiwang Lane is remote and there are few people, it's okay for Yu Linwei and Hu Benwei to come over and make trouble. From the imperial palace to the Cui Mansion, everything is prosperous. Which half way do a bunch of people want to wait?"
Yang Feng glanced at Cai Xinghai dissatisfiedly, and said to Marquis Juan, "Our own troubles have not been resolved, Marquis Jun really wants to take his wife into the mansion?"
Han Ruzi nodded solemnly, "I know that I should be cautious at this time, but I can't be too cautious. If I don't pick up the lady, I will tell everyone in the world that Marquis Tien can be humiliated, and the future will be even more difficult."
"Well..." Yang Feng began to think about this matter seriously, "What Hou Juan said makes sense. Madam is the daughter of the Cui family. Bringing her over will be a shock to those madmen with bad intentions."
"Yeah, kill two birds with one stone, we have to pick it up!" Cai Xinghai looked even more excited than Juan Hou.
Yang Feng looked at Cai Xinghai again, "You used to be just a handyman eunuch, the so-called 'Overseer' doesn't even have a rank, it's just a temporary envoy sent by the Queen Mother to the army, why would you dare to serve the Marquis Tien?"
This question was too straightforward, and Han Ruzi felt that it was too much, but he also wanted to know the answer.
Cai Xinghai lowered his head at first, then raised his head and said proudly, "Has Duke Yang ever been in the army?"
Yang Feng shook his head.
"There are two kinds of generals in the army: one is the noble man, who is high above, even if he leads the army for decades, he may not recognize the generals and soldiers under his command, and everyone obeys his orders. ? But once the situation is wrong, you can't get credit, you can't save your life, fuck your mother, let's run away, anyway, we don't know each other well; another kind of generals are soldiers, no matter their background or height, they are willing to eat and live with their soldiers, and they will be rewarded. , If he has been punished, he convinces the public with sincerity, and everyone is willing to work for him, not only to make contributions and careers, but also to repay the kindness of knowing and encountering."
Cai Xinghai bowed to Marquis Juan, "Marquis Tien has the grace of knowing and meeting with me. Back then in the palace, Marquis Tien did not consider the servants to be lowly, but trusted me, so that I was lucky enough to make meritorious deeds. Today, I will not be punished because Marquis Tien leaves the palace. With two hearts, Yang Gong wants to know the reason, and this is the reason: nobles are common among generals, and soldiers are hard to find, so forgive me for disrespect, and regard Hou Juan as a soldier."
Han Ruzi returned the courtesy, not knowing what to say.
Yang Feng sighed heavily, "Okay, I believe you, but don't act rashly, and don't look for anyone else. When I think of a plan, I want to take back Madam, just relying on more people is not enough."
"As ordered."
Han Ruzi felt that the atmosphere was too solemn, and said, "Call the people outside. They are here to help. It is rude to stay outside."
Cai Xinghai agreed and raised his legs to go out, Yang Feng stopped him: "Wait, you told everyone like this... Just say that Hou Juan is grateful to you for your righteous help, those who have lost morality, and dare not invite you to enter the palace, Hundred Kings Lane is not an ordinary place, there are many people coming and going, please go quickly, it will thank you every day."
Cai Xinghai was puzzled at first, but he suddenly understood, "It's still Duke Yang who has a lot of knowledge, so I'll go... What if Yu Linwei and Hu Benwei come again?"
"They dare not come. If they come, I have a way to deal with it."
Cai Xinghai ran out quickly.
Han Ruzi said: "You did the right thing, I shouldn't implicate more people."
"It depends on the timing of whether or not to get involved. It is useless to implicate many people at such a time. When necessary, the whole world will also be implicated."
Now the people who are implicated in the world are the Empress Dowager and Cui Cui, Han Ruzi hummed, a little hesitant in his heart, "I will bring my wife into the House of Marquis, won't I hurt her?"
"If you want to cover everything, Hou Juan doesn't have to do anything. Bringing his wife into the house may hurt her, and sending her back to the Cui family may hurt even more. No one can predict the prophet. If Hou Juan has great ambitions, don't waver. If you are timid, millions of soldiers will be lambs."
Han Ruzi smiled, "You're right, I won't hesitate any longer."
Cai Xinghai ran back from the door and said, "Everyone is very grateful to Hou Juan, saying that he is always on call."
Yang Feng looked around, "It should be fine tonight."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a knock on the door outside.
Cai Xinghai hurriedly guarded Hou Juan, and Yang Feng also held the handle of the knife and came to the door: "Which one?"
"Gifts." said a rough voice outside.
Yang Feng obviously recognized the sound, and immediately opened his mouth. When he opened it a little, a figure jumped in, but his footsteps were unsteady. After a few steps, he fell down the steps, and fell at the feet of Han Ruzi, screaming "Ouch".
Cai Xinghai pulled Juan Hou back a few steps and protected him in front of him.
The rough voice outside the door said again: "This guy is commanding outside, and he found all those guards."
"There is third brother Laohu." Yang Feng said.
"Hey, wait until I'm done with my favors before calling me brothers."
The voice disappeared, and Yang Feng closed the door.
Only then did Han Ruzi understand that Yang Feng still had arrangements outside the mansion. If Cai Xinghai did not bring anyone, he could also repel the troublemakers from Yulin and Huben.
Han Ruzi bent down to look at the man lying on the ground, but the man refused to look up.
Cai Xinghai kicked forward and shouted, "Bold madman, dare to come to the Marquis Mansion to make trouble, don't you know whether to live or die? Raise your head!"
Cai Xinghai kicked again, and the man finally raised his head with resentment on his face.
"Zhang Yanghao!" Han Ruzi was taken aback, he recognized this person, the grandson of Marquis Piyuan, who used to be a servant in the palace, "Why... it's you?"
Han Ruzi was puzzled, he remembered that he never offended Zhang Yanghao, but only once, in order to go to Xianyin Pavilion to catch the traitor, he took Zhang Yanghao and others along, but did not tell the truth beforehand.
"It's me." Zhang Yanghao stood up and glanced at Cai Xinghai, who was carrying the knife, but did not dare to step forward.
"Why...the Marquis of Piyuan was released?" Han Ruzi remembered another thing, the imperial concubine tricked him into writing several imperial decrees, one of which was used to confuse the empress dowager, and the person who was framed was Zhang Yin, the Marquis of Piyuan.
"Of course I let it go. The queen mother knew that our family was a loyal minister, and she let it go a few months ago." Zhang Yanghao clenched his fists tightly, but still did not dare to step forward. Juan Hou was younger and thinner than him, but there were people around him. Eunuch protection holding a knife.
"It's not me who framed Lingzu..." Han Ruzi glanced at Yang Feng and put on a cold tone, "Zhang Yanghao, go home and find... your grandfather, and ask him what he thinks."
"How do you know..." Zhang Yanghao widened his eyes in surprise.
Han Ruzi really knew at this time, "Yes, I know, you do this kind of thing behind your grandfather's back, I don't blame you, but you must go home and admit your fault to your grandfather and listen to his advice, otherwise, I will will you..."
Han Ruzi didn't know what to say, and Yang Feng on the side added: "Report the matter to the general of Su Wei, let him handle it, and privately call Yu Lin and Hu Ben two guards, but it is a serious crime, and Marquis Piyuan does not know how to explain it. ."
Zhang Yanghao's expression changed, "You, are you really letting me go?"
Han Ruzi nodded.
"Okay, I'll go back...to find my grandfather..." Zhang Yanghao ran to the door and found that the door was heavily barred, and he couldn't move it by himself.
"Master Zhang is a nobleman of the Hou family, why don't you follow the rules?" Cai Xinghai raised the knife in his hand.
Zhang Yanghao's eyes flickered, and he knelt down slowly, "Thank you...Thank you for your magnanimity, I will tell my grandfather when I go back..."
Han Ruzi waved his hand, and then Yang Feng slowly unlocked the door, let Zhang Yanghao go out, then locked the door again, turned around and said, "I have an idea that I can bring Madam to the Marquis Mansion smoothly."
