Liu Jinwu said: "Yesterday you were drunk first. The emperor and the others talked about the country's military affairs and other matters for a long time. The emperor mentioned that he wanted to make his brother king and asked him to stay in the capital to assist in the affairs of the country. He said nothing. Ken, it was getting late and he refused to stay in the palace. When he left, he said that he was a dead man, and it would be a blessing for brothers to get together. After saying goodbye today, he wanted to go boating on the five lakes and live a relaxing life. , asking the emperor to govern the country with peace of mind and not to think about him, he took out a stack of paper from his arms and put it on the table and walked out. The emperor shouted at him and chased him to the entrance of the palace. He saw a few of him plundering and then disappeared. In the darkness, when we came back and looked at the stack of papers, we found that they were all large-denominated gold notes, which could be converted into silver, probably more than 300,000 taels."

Chang Sihao thought: "The eldest grandson Xiaochi didn't fight for the throne, and he didn't want any money. It seems that he has seen through everything, but I don't know if the master of the Juhao Pavilion will continue to do it." Thinking of what happened last night, Cheng Lianan That little face appeared, and Deng felt a knot in his chest. He thought that if he thought about him any more, I would go crazy. He laughed and said, "The emperor is crying about being poor, and he believes it. No matter how poor you are, you are still a royal family, and you need him." "It's just right. He doesn't like flowers, so let's help him spend them. I haven't walked around since I arrived in Jingzhong. You know a good place to go. After I change my clothes, let's go shopping together."

Liu Jinwu smiled and said: "When it comes to having fun, I am a living map of the capital. I will travel later and I guarantee that Chitose will be satisfied." After saying that, he bowed and exited.

Chang Sihao changed his clothes with Gu Si's clothes waiter, and after eating two pieces of tea, he followed Liu Jinwu out. The two left the island and stepped onto the bridge. Liu Jinwu took out a wad of silver notes from his arms and handed them over with both hands: "Chitose, This is 10,000 taels of silver given by the emperor, please keep it." Chang Sihao was startled and stopped in his tracks. Liu Jinwu smiled and said, "Why are you hesitating?" Chang Sihao waved his hand and said, "No reward for no merit." ," Walking forward, Liu Jinwu caught up and said: "Why don't you do it? I'll answer..." Chang Sihao turned around suddenly: "Since the emperor is so generous in his actions, why do you need to do those things like sealing cannons and digging out loaches? "Liu Jinwu smiled: "You don't know this. Our emperor has a characteristic. He saves everything, except military expenses, and is willing to reward meritorious officials. This is a tradition inherited from the old emperor Jiajing. Qi Jiguang pacified Japanese wars along the coast. For killing a Japanese bandit, he would be rewarded thirty taels of silver. This reward was set by him, but the silver came from the treasury. That year, after the total revenue of the treasury was balanced, there was less than two million taels left, so the military expenditure was increased by one hundred and forty taels. More than 100,000. The old emperor was in terrible pain, but he gritted his teeth and gave it. Otherwise, how could he have such a good record? As you know, there are fifty-two Shangguang Fran cannons in Datong City. Well, those are all technologies bought from Hongmaozi, and the money spent on making them is even greater. As one of the three camps of the Imperial Guards of the capital, the Shenji Battalion is only equipped with sixteen doors, and the money is still too much. It’s not all paid by the emperor, this little money is just pocket change, there will be more in the future,”

Chang Sihao knew that his brains were not as good as those in the capital, so he was afraid of being deceived. Seeing that he spoke fluently and most of the time he was telling the truth, he was relieved, but he still refused to accept the check, so Liu Jinwu had to pick it up for him.

The two walked off the bridge. Chang Sihao saw Sanqing Temple from a distance, so he turned back and asked Liu Jinwu to wait outside. Zilai met Miao Feng. After the ceremony, he asked about Miao Feng's condition. Feng said with a smile: "You are really thoughtful, kid. Wu Gan is fine now. He said he would rest here for a while, and the emperor has already agreed." Chang Sihao came to the bedside to visit. When they met, Wu Gan was also extremely happy. comfort.

The two talked for a while, but Chang Sihao withdrew again because he was afraid of disturbing her rest. He expected that Miao Feng and Feng Bao were not talking to each other and were probably not from the Dongchang group, so he asked directly about Wuzhi Mi Qing San. After hearing the whole story, Feng felt strange and recalled: "Master Wu did make this medicine before, but because he was sad about some old things, he no longer went into the medicine room, and he didn't even want to hear the word "medicine". I'll leave it to Senior Brother An to take care of it. I hope Dongchang will take care of the prescriptions and other things so that they won't be left homeless."

Chang Sihao asked: "How many people are there in Wuyou Hall? Is there anyone suspicious among the servants?"

Miao Feng said: "After master moved to Hainan, he was surrounded by my senior brothers. Since I entered the palace, I have never returned to master, and I don't know anything else."

Chang Sihao was confused. He expected that the matter had nothing to do with her, so he didn't bother her much. He stood up to leave. Miao Feng stopped him and said, "You only asked about other people's conditions, but how is your own health?" Chang Sihao smiled and said, "My The injury was examined by an old Mr. Liu. He pricked a lot of small needles on my arms, but the effect was not great. He said that he was going back to find other methods." Miao Feng said: "Well, here. The doctor you are treating is Dr. Liu. He uses small acupuncture to adjust Qi and large acupuncture to adjust body shape. He can come up with ways to promote reflux and reflux. He can be regarded as a person who has studied medical theory. However, you are lucky enough to have stagnant Qi. It's not something that doctors can adjust. The deviations caused by our martial arts training have to be adjusted by martial arts. Today I will teach you a set of guidance methods, which can be regarded as compensation for the palm strike a few days ago."

Chang Sihao was overjoyed and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "You really mean what you say, I'm very grateful."

Miao Feng waved her hand: "My method is also based on the method of applying the old method to the original. Just take a look at it." She stood up, her hands naturally drooped, and she breathed evenly. The tips of her ten fingers slowly raised to both sides and pulled the trigger. After reaching the limit, he then raised his arms flat and stretched out, making the whole body like a cross. Chang Sihao followed suit, only to feel that the fingertips and the tendons in both arms were stretched tightly, the palms of his hands were slightly warm, and he followed Miao Feng to twist his feet left and right. The tendons on the palms and arms gradually connect from the shoulders to the back and extend under the feet. There is a sense of flow in the body, following the guidance of the body movements. The stagnant Qi and blood on the back are like a thick cotton ball, being covered by The strands of limbs were torn apart and scattered.

Seeing his surprised look, Miao Feng knew that it had an effect. After teaching a set of movements, he smiled lightly and said: "This technique is called 'Yu Wang Liu'. It has the greatest effect of dredging the meridians and dredging the collaterals. You can practice it according to the method." Three days, or as little as one or two days, the stagnation can be eliminated. However, it must be noted that the limbs should direct the energy and blood at the beginning without any awareness. The breathing should be purely natural. When the internal movement is smooth, there is no need to be restrained. He wakes up with his movements and consciousness." After correcting the details for him, he took out a bottle of the healing elixir "Eagle Muscle Fire Phoenix Burn" that he had saved and gave it to him.

Chang Sihao knew that this medicine was extremely effective, so he thanked her profusely, and after leaving Xiyuan, he threw two pills in his mouth, feeling very good.

Liu Jinwu led him all the way eastward. The two of them passed through the first three gates and came to the bustling market. They saw that the trading shops were extremely noisy, and the stalls were filled with all kinds of firecrackers. They were colorful and beautiful. It was the end of the year. It's almost here and people are busy buying new year's goods.

While walking, Chang Sihao secretly used the techniques taught by Miao Feng to activate his body's Qi and blood. The stasis on his back spread evenly and gradually dissolved. He felt great and comfortable. He thought to himself: "Medicine and martial arts are all based on the human body, but they are the same." It's different, just like a piece of wood, you can make chopsticks or toothpicks, but you can't pick your teeth with chopsticks. Mr. Liu can describe my illness accurately, but he has so many needles. I haven’t been able to cure it yet. Miao Feng’s method of guidance started and I immediately felt great. It seems like a key can open a lock.”

As soon as Liu Jinwu entered the shopping street, his eyesight was not enough. The traders saw that he was dressed in gorgeous clothes and they all tried to greet him. Some of them knew him well and kept chatting with each other. Liu Jinwu praised him and criticized him. He pointed here and there and saw a nice octagonal lantern. , he brought it up to Chang Sihao to take a look at it. After he said it was good, he told the merchant: "Pack it for me and deliver it to Lao Yan's house at the east end of Jiangmi Lane." After a while, he saw a good washbasin, so he also brought it to him. Chang Sihao looked at it. From the beginning to the end of such a street, he didn’t know how much he bought.

Chang Sihao saw him smiling so loudly and chatting like a mother-in-law, and he felt annoyed. He thought to himself that this guy used my excuse to buy things and take advantage of it. When the time came, he would report the accounts to the emperor. He was really a childish mentality and had no future. For a moment, he was too lazy to pay attention to him, and thought to himself: "Cheng Lian'an's matter is now over, let him leave it to him, but Yin'er's illness needs to be cured, and revenge must be avenged. Xiaoyu said that the factory affairs of the East Factory will be handed over to Guo Shuronghua, Feng Bao Duo is in the palace, so how can he know the affairs of the world? I asked him to ask who has the antidote, but I probably couldn't find out anything. Guo Shuronghua couldn't be tough to deal with, let alone him, even the four major No matter who comes out of the stall, I am no match for them, not to mention that now that my internal strength has been damaged, it is even worse than before."

He thought that he was just drawing Qi to string the menstrual flow, and that he felt so uncomfortable. Then Qin Ziyin's internal organs, Qi and blood were in chaos. He didn't know how painful it would be. He felt uncomfortable in his heart. However, knowing that thinking too much was useless, he tried to move away. I cheered up and saw a ready-made clothes shop in front of me, so I shook off Liu Jinwu who was looking at the furniture and went in alone to hide in peace. The shop owner saw him dressed in rich clothes and treated him very kindly. Chang Sihao looked around and felt embarrassed, and was about to leave. Seeing women's clothing next to him, he chose a pair of bijia and an undershirt, paid the bill and went out. Liu Jinwu chased after him and took the clothes for him. He smiled and said, "I see Chitose chose this size, as if she was like Sister Gu." The figure fits well,”

Chang Sihao walked forward minding his own business: "Yes, I bought it for her. She treats me very well, so it's natural to give me some gifts."

Liu Jinwu followed up and smiled: "She has served the old emperor. She has been in the palace for many years and has developed a sophisticated mind. No one can fault her when serving her."

Chang Sihao said: "So she treats everyone the same." Liu Jinwu said: "Not exactly, but almost the same." Chang Sihao glanced sideways and chuckled: "It's amazing that you became the general manager of the inner court at such a young age. Ah, I am afraid that my mind is much more sophisticated than hers." Liu Jinwu smiled and said, "I just owe it to my ancestors. My grandfather was a Jinshi in the third year of Zhengde, Baotianhe, and was an official in the court before. He was a minister of the Ministry of War. He knew medicine and water management, and was both civil and military. He also set up an ambush at the Blackwater River to annihilate the enemy and killed the Ten Little Kings of the Tatars."

Chang Sihao was in awe: "It turns out that the old man is so amazing."

Liu Jinwu said: "Yes, he is a great old man, and I am always proud of him. But I can't do it. I rely on my ancestor's blessings to get a job as a royal guard. I have neither military exploits nor political achievements. I want to I went to take the martial arts exam, but I couldn't show any good skills, so I heard Chitose talk about killing Tatars, and I was jealous. Alas, it's a pity that my wishes didn't work out, and God has no mercy. If there is nothing I can do, I will learn from Xiao Anzi. Just be a eunuch,"

One sentence touched on the pain in Chang Sihao's heart, and he frowned and said: "It would be better to be a eunuch than you are now,"

Liu Jinwu said with a smile: "Actually, there are three, six, and nine grades of eunuchs. You don't have to be too sad for little Anzi. He has his adoptive father Feng Bao by the emperor's side, and he works in Dongchang. His future is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. Dongchang Those officers in the factory worked hard and worked hard, and in the future they would just be the stall bosses, like those in charge of thousands of households, hundreds of households, etc. The current practice is to directly transfer from Jinyiwei, without eunuchs, so the eunuchs came to the East Factory. He will definitely enter a high-level position in the future. If Feng Bao really wanted to let him stay with the emperor, he should have let him go to the palace to learn the rules of the palace from the beginning. But in fact, he was assigned to Dongchang. The purpose is still very obvious."

Chang Sihao felt that there were many things here that he couldn't understand, and fell silent for a moment.

Liu Jinwu sighed: "In comparison, the status of our Jinyi Guards is far less than it used to be. Don't think that I am the head guard. I have to behave well when I meet Guo Shuronghua. He is polite to me and is disrespectful." I am a close relative of the emperor. When comparing the power in my hands, it is a huge difference. When he enters the palace, he listens to the emperor and Feng Bao. When he leaves the palace, who else can control him? All the major yamen have something to do. The factory officers were on duty, and everything they did in a day was recorded. Except for the emperor's relatives and several ministers, he could arrest and kill whomever he wanted without having to report it to the emperor. In this capital, which official When you see him, you can't respectfully call him "Guo Du Gong". This kind of majesty is real and there is no false pretense. If Cheng Lianan really studied for the imperial examination, there is no doubt whether he can pass the exam, and he will be admitted. , how many more years will it take to get promoted, even if I become the Minister of the Sixth Ministry, or the Minister, I still don’t have to look at the face of the governor of Dongchang. If it were me, if I were cruel, I might have this knife for myself."

Chang Sihao listened to him, his expression gradually became solemn, and he thought to himself: "He is right. When you are a civil official, let alone a military general, you have no military merit. When you are not fighting, if you come back alive, what kind of title will you get? Officials are probably similar to Mr. Cheng. Cheng Lianan looks down on his father, so of course he will not take this thankless path. The reason why he is so ruthless is that he may have seen this path that can lead to power and prosperity as quickly as possible. It’s a shortcut, but I really can’t understand why he wants so much power at such a young age.”

Recalling what happened last night, I felt sad and laughed to myself: "Cheng Lian'an is right, blood relationship is nothing. Mr. Cheng is his father, but he is not Mr. Cheng's son. If I find him, I will have fulfilled Mr. Cheng's last wish. Can I still discipline him and stay with him for the rest of his life? I'm afraid that in his eyes, I don't understand him well enough. That's all. If he likes to learn well, he will learn well, and if he likes to learn bad, he will learn bad. Everyone has his own life. Let him be his understanding person and let me be my fool." Thinking of this, I felt a little more cheerful.

Seeing that Liu Jinwu later said that he also wanted to be a eunuch, although it was a joke, it was also a coward. He couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Cut the little bird, and the urine will stick to the buttocks and flow along the crotch all day long." Washing your legs with urine is not as good as a good old woman. Who the hell is this? You are also a good man who is a good man. How can you say such depressing nonsense? It will not embarrass your old man."

Liu Jinwu's eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh and smiled evilly: "Hey, that's good, damn, I'm the worst off, at least I can pee in a straight line,"

Chang Sihao put his big hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "That's right, you should talk, you should laugh, live as happily as you want, you have to let it out and piss others off, but you can't hold it in yourself,"

Liu Jinwu was very happy: "Thank you Qiansui, I don't know why. It's a pleasure to listen to you." Chang Sihao smiled and said: "Qiansui is not a bastard. In terms of age, you are older than me. Call me Brother Chang." That's enough." Liu Jinwu asked: "When is your birthday?" Chang Sihao said: "September." Liu Jinwu said: "I am in October, younger than you. If you look down on me, I won't be polite to you. Let’s take the next step. I’ll call you Big Brother, Big Brother Chang. How about that?” Chang Sihao laughed, thinking that regardless of age, there is no reason to judge birth month regardless of age. He also knew his intentions and wouldn’t argue with such vulgar details, so he nodded in agreement. :"Brothers,"
