Yongle Palace, side hall on the west side.

The tent hangs low, and the warm wind is overflowing.

More than a dozen ate mothers from the Yeting Court fed the young children in their arms and coaxed them to sleep. Then they gently put them into the bed and got up and left.

"The palace maids choose official maids at the age of eight or above, and serve the queen below, and get married at the age of thirty-five. The wet nurses choose official maids."

The young children who are full and sleep soundly are the ghost-escaped boys selected by the Yeting.

First, there were gusts of yin winds in Yongle Palace, as if ghosts and monsters were present. Empress Dowager Yongle ordered Bi Lan to select children of appropriate age and raise them in Yongle Palace. She wanted to use the pure yang body of a boy to shock the evil spirits.

It is said that it is quite effective. The boys often cried late at night, one after another, and responded in groups. The maids accompanied the palace were awakened. They were in chaos and could not sleep all night. There were ghosts and were also scared away.

Queen Mother Dong, who lives in the bedroom, can rest assured.

Rumors: Empress Dowager Dong is also quite concerned about the boy who chases ghosts. She often goes to the side halls and checks them one by one. If there is a minor illness, the imperial physician also tells her to come to treat him personally. Such care is naturally a person who cherishes his life. The copper coins obtained by Your Majesty’s sale of official positions are also stored in Yongle Palace. How can the mother and son not cherish this wealth that is so sensible?

It is also said that Your Majesty's mother, Mrs. Cheng, often came to the side palace. Mrs. Cheng was between the empress dowagers of the two palaces and often came and went. Now her status has also risen and she is respected as the "Doctor of Chengzhong". Compared with "Mrs. Cheng", she is more powerful and noble.

When he watched the hundreds of plays, he secretly formed an alliance with Empress Dowager Dou. He also saw that General He Jin was becoming more and more powerful in the court and the country. Although General Dong Chong, a cavalry, competed with him, He Jin recruited Yuan Shao as his chief minister, and was in a state of power, and he was very powerful, and he had many followers in the court. How could Empress Dowager Dong not be upset?

The General of the Cavalry was unable to recruit the chief minister. The person in charge was the chief officer Zhang Xun and Zhang Ziqian. He had a close relationship with Shen Pei and was close to Ji. He also met Jia Xu, the right chief of the General of the Supplementary Han Dynasty, and often had contacts.

Seeing that General Dong Chong of the Cavalry was getting weaker, Zhang Xun came to the door and asked for advice from Jia Xu.

Luoyang, the breeding goods, the residence of the General of the Han Dynasty.

The host and guest sat down. After hearing the purpose of the visit, Jia Xu gave him a message in person: "The Yuan family in Runan is a famous family. The only one in the world who can stand against him is the Hongnong Yang family."

Zhang Xun shook his head: "When the Marquis of Lin Jin is famous all over the world, how can he be willing to surrender? Moreover, since the beginning of spring, he has been at home. Most of the time..." The implication is that the old minister Yang Ci is afraid that there will be few days.

Jia Xu said, "It's not about Taiwei Yang, but his son Yang Biao. He is now the prefect of Nanyang. Because Taiwei Yang is old, he can find an opportunity to transfer it back. Taiwei Yang is concerned about his father and will not refuse."

Zhang Xun asked again: "The prefect is also a high-ranking official of two thousand stones. How can he be willing to surrender to the chief of the General of the Cavalry?"

Jia Xu asked back: "Does Ziqian only know the chief minister? Why not just mention it as 'Yongle Shaofu'?"

The Young Mansion of Yongle was one of the three ministers of Empress Dowager Dong. Empress Dowager Dong lived in Yongle Palace, so it was named Yongle Shao Mansion. She was in charge of the same position as the Young Mansion and was in Shao Mansion. She had a salary of 2,000 shi. The monthly grain was 180 hu and the annual salary was 2,160 shi.

Seeing that Zhang Xun had realized, Jia Xu said again: "General of the Cavalry is the relative of Empress Dowager Dong. This is the orderly inheritance and frequent interactions on weekdays. This is the first. Second, General of the Cavalry was born in the Northern Army and had always had good friends with Yuan Shu, the Changshui Chief Commander. Why not send one person to the "Northern Army Crusade". In this way, all the Northern Army will be under the control of General of the Cavalry."

The Northern Army was in charge of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army, with a rank of 600 stones.

"Who can join the Northern Army and supervise the Fifth Battalion?" Zhang Xun stood up and asked again.

"I will give you one person. The current Captain of Huwuwan Zou Jing." Jia Xu has already chosen someone.

Zhang Xun then kept it in mind and asked at the end before leaving: "Who can be the Captain Huwuwan after Zou Jing?"

"Take the trick." Jia Xu smiled slightly.

Zhang Xun suddenly realized: "But when he was a young man, he was as famous as King Ji!"

“Yes.”

Zhang Xun was satisfied and left.

After returning to the mansion, he told Jia Xu's words in detail. Dong Biqi did not dare to be negligent, so he went to the palace to meet him.

Yongle Palace. After hearing what Dong Chong said, Empress Dowager Dong couldn't help but look at her: "Jia Wenhe's wisdom is really unmatched! Yang Biao was the son of Lin Jinhou. It is natural for his son to inherit his father's title. Just as Jia Xu said, since the beginning of spring, Lin Jinhou was bedridden, and he was afraid that there would be no more days. If an edict was delivered at this time, Yang Biao would definitely go to the capital at night. He was loyal and filial, and was a minister and a son. How dare he postpone it? The opportunity was clever. If he had the assistance of Yang family of Hongnong and the five Northern Army schools were introduced as external support, he could compete with He family."

Seeing that Empress Dowager Dong showed joy, Dong Chong couldn't help but be happy: "The Empress Dowager knew clearly. My family Zhang Zhonglang has always been good friends with the ministers of King Ji. He was brought back from Jizhou and was loyal."

"You can get along well with King Ji. I'm relieved." The only one who Empress Dowager Dong can count on is Dong Chong: "I have recorded the people you have selected. I will definitely get you what you want."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Dong Chong bowed and left again.

West Garden, Chicken Crown Hall.

When Zhang Rang entered the hall, Zhao Zhong was also there. The two of them looked at each other and then they understood it. One in front and the other behind, they walked to the corridor and chatted in a low voice.

"There are clues," Zhang Rang asked.

"I haven't found it." Zhao Zhong shook his head: "When and where, and who picked a piece of cicadas by him, I still have no idea."

"After thinking about it, if you can have such a way of enlightenment, you must be two elders, or one of them." Zhang Rangyan said.

"I think so too." Zhao Zhong sighed: "The dragons and tigers are hidden in the palace, and strange people are emerging. As Your Majesty said, picking cicadas without removing their heads is just a matter of using Your Majesty's hand to punish him."

"Oh..." Zhang Rang sighed: "If the old man is not dead, I will have no chance to stand out."

"The so-called white horse passes by, and a blink of an eye. Time flies, how can the world not accept old age?" Zhao Zhong comforted: "Maybe less than ten years later, the two old masters will go west. At that time, who would be in the palace to restrain him? Your Majesty has been prosperous in the spring and autumn, and he has the ability to govern the country. Now that Han Dynasty is reviving again, we just need to watch the changes and enjoy the success. We should benefit from glory and wealth."

Before the words were finished, the roosters crowed everywhere.

The two looked up at the sky, the sky was about to turn white, and the rising sun was about to rise.

Only then did Zhang Rang express his thoughts: "The Queen Mother asked for the marriage to King Ji, and I have already agreed."

"Who wants to be with King Ji?" Zhao Zhong asked casually.

"Dou's orphan, Dou Qiongying."

"Hiss--" Zhao Zhong took a deep breath: "What does Empress Dowager Dou mean?"

"It's unknown." Zhang Rang shook his head and said, "Do you know where the orphan of Dou's family live?"

"Could it be..."

"Yes." Zhang Rang said again: "He is being raised in the Ji Palace."

"What is King Ji... mean?"

"It's unknown." Zhang Rang shook his head and then made another shocking sound: "A few days ago, my son's marriage was rejected by Empress He. I heard that Empress He wanted to marry He and King Ji as partial concubines."

Zhao Zhong then realized: "Empress Dowager Dou and Empress He are all beautiful women."

"That's true." Zhang Rang replied: "Your Majesty gave marriage to princesses of 55 countries in the Western Regions, which was a beauty plan. Now Empress Dowager Dou and Empress He all wanted to do this plan again. King Ji was very good at it, and was a royal family, noble family, noble family, and powerful... It is a jealousy in the world. Once he returns to the capital, he will be the target of public criticism."

"Since that's the case, why should we still do such a hard work?" Zhao Zhong asked hurriedly. He really spared no effort to make money.

"As far as I see, Your Majesty should be happy to see it accomplished." Zhang Rang said.

“How do you know it?”

"Only by being the public enemy of the world can we accomplish something difficult in the world." Zhang Rangguo was his confidant and revealed the secret of heaven in one sentence.
