Chapter 1011 Gold Medal
Zhou Yu's meaningful eyes and tone made Zhao Yao's heart tremble for some reason. This unreasonable tremor made Zhao Yao feel a little uncomfortable for a while, as if at this moment, it seemed that he had seen an old friend who had been gone for a long time.
But the person who used to be full of domineeringness was pure and unquestionable, and the domineeringness that could not raise the courage to resist no matter what.
But now this young emperor is in a completely different situation. His eyes seemed to be full of teasing, as if he had seen that no one could hide anything from him. Just one look in his eyes makes him feel like he was seen through.
After calming down, Zhao Yao bowed again and said, "Go back to the emperor, I have seen these two things on the boat that I returned from the West."
"The boat voyages to the West have brought these things back." Zhou Yu was a little surprised and looked at a little eunuch who was waiting in the hall: "Let me take all the records of voyage to me."
"Yes, the emperor."
Zhou Yu's eyes reopened Zhao Yao, who was kneeling on the ground: "Do you know where else can you find these two things?"
Zhao Yao replied: "When I say to the emperor, I have tried to plant these two crops by myself after discovering them. The emperor can ask someone to search in my vegetable field."
Zhou Yu smiled unanimously and left Zhao Yao: "Several people come and take him down to take a shower, and wait for the imperial physician to show him. I am a little sleepy and have something to do tomorrow."
After saying that, Zhou Yu got up and left the study room directly.
From the time he suddenly asked about Tudou and Sweet Potato and Soup Potatoes and got an answer, Zhou Yu had already determined Zhao's identity as a time traveler.
Because even though sweet potatoes and potatoes have entered the land of the Ming Dynasty at this time, they are not called such a name. Extras will basically have a spell, such as tomatoes, sweet potatoes, or Western and Western, such as broccoli and potatoes.
But no matter what, sweet potatoes and potatoes should never be called this at this time. However, Zhao didn't think about it at all when he answered just now. This means that Zhao must be very familiar with this thing and become accustomed to it, which means that this guy is either a time traveler himself or has lived with a time traveler for a long time.
But just by looking at the current situation, Zhou Yu is more willing to believe that Zhao is the time traveler.
A time traveler, eunuch? Isn’t this revenge on society?
Zhou Yu thought about how long the time Zhao wanted to travel, and whether he had become a eunuch during the travel, and if he was a normal person during the travel, but was forced to become a eunuch later, Zhou Yu would not dare to imagine how perverted this person's psychology would be.
And what is the purpose of this guy hiding in Nangong? Did he train those people like the dead soldiers or someone trained them? What kind of identity and status does Zhao have to have among these people? How important is his power to those who have not yet been investigated.
All this is not known yet, but Zhou Yu believes that he will know it soon.
The night passed, and when I opened my eyes again, it was almost time for the sun to come. It seemed that the incident last night had no other impact except for Zhou Yu not sleeping well.
After breakfast, Zhou Yu went to the study without any haste. There was already someone waiting in the study.
It was no surprise to see Cheng Jing, Ma Shun, Xing'an, and the three princes were waiting here for Zhou Yu.
"See the Emperor."
"No gift." Zhou Yu waved his hand: "People come, I'll give you a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhou Yu sat down first, and waited until the others were sitting on the chair before speaking: "Big companion, you are so old that you should not be the same as these young people. You should still have to rest."
Cheng Jing shook his head: "I thank you for your concern, but the situation is urgent. I can't rest assured that the old minister doesn't keep an eye on it myself."
Zhou Yu nodded: "How is the secret passage in the palace being investigated?"
Cheng Jing: "When I returned to the emperor, the old minister and several princesses personally led people to thoroughly investigate all secret passages in the palace, or it would take several days to thoroughly investigate them. However, the old minister and others found several other secret passages that had not been recorded last night."
Cheng Jing continued: "The old minister has ordered people to seal all these secret passages and strengthen the guards in the palace. In addition, we have also found out that some of Zhao's accomplices in the palace have been controlled and they have been sentenced to be interrogated quickly."
Zhou Yu looked at Xing'an again: "You said."
Xing'an quickly stood up and took out something from his arms and handed it to Zhou Yu: "Your Majesty, this is something I brought back from the place where Zhao Yao said orally. In addition, several crops were also brought back from the vegetable field that Zhao Yao had. After Zhao Yao identified, they were almost all brought back from the West. In addition to the potatoes and sweet potatoes mentioned by the emperor, there were other crops such as peppers."
"Last night, I sent someone to investigate it thoroughly for a night, but there was no trace of Zhao's origin. Please forgive me."
Zhou Yu took the things from Xing'an and looked at them. Surprisingly, this thing turned out to be a gold medal for avoiding death.
Cao, no wonder Zhao was not panicked at all, if there was this thing, Zhao would definitely not die this time as long as it was not a crime of rebellion.
Zhou Yu looked at Xing'an: "What's going on with this gold medal of death?"
Xing'an hurriedly said, "Master, I have checked all the records of the gold medals for avoiding death. After comparing, I found that this gold medal was given to Monk Daoyan by Emperor Yongle."
“???”
Zhou Yu was really full of questions this time: "Monkey Daoyan? Yao Guangxiao? Do you think this is Yao Guangxiao's thing?"
"It's like this after checking it."
Zhou Yu was a little surprised: "Where did this Zhao Yao come from?"
How could the gold medal of death exemption given to Monk Daoyan by Emperor Yongle fall into Zhao Yao's hands?
Monk Daoyan, that is, Yao Guangxiao, was an important official in the Yongle Dynasty, and was also a key figure who encouraged Emperor Yongle to seize the throne.
There is no definite record of why this man died or not. Some people say that Yao Guangxiao went to the West with the fleet, some people say that he was secretly executed by Emperor Yongle, and some people say that Monk Daoyan had traveled around, and some people say that Monk Daoyan died of illness in the temple.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, since there is this gold medal for avoiding death, Yao Guangxiao will definitely not be killed by Emperor Yongle. No matter what, how could this gold medal be in Zhao Yao's hands?
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Xing'an shook his head quickly: "Go back to the emperor, Zhao Yao will not say anything."
Zhou Yu suddenly laughed: "He is smart. I know that I can't move him for the time being with this gold medal."
Cheng Jing frowned and said, "Master, Zhao Yao's identity is probably not simple. Yao Guangxiao's gold medal of death is not something that anyone can get, and this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to hand over to others for safekeeping."
Zhou Yu nodded: "A eunuch who seems to be incompatible with Yao Guangxiao is holding his gold medal for death in his hand. It's really interesting. I'll ask him personally later."
Zhou Yu looked at Cheng Jing again: "Brother, you should have a good rest. Just check the secrets and leave it to others to do. The three princesses are so idle that they are going to smell bad all day long."
Jiao Jing hurriedly said, "Emperor, I want to lead the imperial guards to protect the emperor."
The other two guys paused and could only bow their hands: "I will definitely check strictly and will never let go of any fish that misses the net."
"Um."
Zhou Yu was playing with the gold medal in his hand and suddenly lost his voice. He was thinking in his mind what kind of mess Zhao was like. Could this guy be the protagonist of some system flow or the successor of Yao Guangxiao?
Time traveler...
Could it be that Concubine Xian finally have the opportunity to perform?
A stupid woman who is extremely innocent and a eunuch who has not yet fully understood the details, what kind of good show can these two people give birth to when they encounter instruments?
In fact, Zhou Yu could have cut Zhao with one knife, but if he really cut him like this, Zhou Yu felt that it was a bit wasteful. A eunuch was still a time traveler. Although history was a bit poor, it was less common sense, but it was not useful.
The people present saw Zhou Yu without a voice and then calmed down and did not dare to disturb Zhou Yu who was thinking.
After a while, Zhou Yu raised his head and said, "Go to work hard, you can have a good rest and have someone bring Zhao Yao over to me."
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you and bent down at Zhou Yu and bowed: "I will leave."
Zhao Yao was brought to Zhou Yu for a while. Compared to the embarrassed look the night before, Zhao Yao, who had changed into clean clothes and was completely cleaned up, looked much more refreshing, but his face turned a little pale.
"I bow to the emperor."
After Zhao was about to come in, he knelt on the ground and saluted Zhou Yu.
"Get up." Zhou Yu nodded and knocked with the gold medal: "How did you get this thing?"
Zhao Yao seemed to have been ready, and answered without thinking: "Back to the emperor, it was given to me by Monk Daoyan. In addition to the gold medal, there should be an imperial edict written by Emperor Yongle himself."
"I didn't find the imperial edict and only found this gold medal." Zhou Yu smiled and said, "But I found the potatoes and sweet potatoes. Since the imperial edict was not found, then tell me what was written in the imperial edict."
Zhao Yao looked up and looked at Zhou Yu hesitantly, then said: "It's just an imperial edict that can prove that this gold medal of exemption from death is reasonably owned by me."
Zhou Yu said: "Is that so? There is always a reason. Why did Yao Guangxiao give you the gold medal? Your age and Yao Guangxiao don't look like someone who has the chance to sit together."
Zhao Yaoping said calmly: "I just look young. I have learned the art of health preservation with Monk Daoyan for several years, so I look younger than ordinary people. In fact, I am already forty-five years this year. It is precisely because of Monk Daoyan that I entered the palace."
"Oh? That's those dead soldiers?" Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Although the gold medal of death can prevent you from dying, the gold medal of death cannot forgive the crime of rebellion. It's like raising dead soldiers in the palace. Even if there is a gold medal of death, I can kill you."
Zhao Yao bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor, those dead soldiers who were not raised by slaves, and like those people, they were all arranged to enter the palace, that is, they just knew a little more than the others."
Zhou Yu laughed: "Then do you want to say that those people have nothing to do with you?"
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Yao looked up and said, "The thing that has nothing to do with slaves is that those people are not arranged by slaves, but the thing that has something to do with slaves is that those people are exposed because of slaves. Slaves are the last method prepared by Emperor Yongle and Monk Daoyan for the royal family."
"Protecting the royal bloodline will not follow the old path of Jianwen, and preventing the Ming Dynasty from following the old path of Wu Zhou."
Zhou Yu pondered: "Do you have evidence."
"I have a secret decree left by Emperor Yongle." Zhao Yao took it out in his arms, raised a yellow silk cloth with both hands: "Emperor, this is the imperial decree written by Emperor Yongle himself."
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and signaled the eunuch beside him to take the silk, unfold it and read it carefully.
The handwriting on the imperial edict is vigorous and powerful, and it does look like Emperor Yongle’s handwriting. The content is roughly as Zhao Yao said. In order to protect the royal bloodline and prevent the Sun family from having sex, he set up a secret force.
The one with a beginning and a end is really the notes of Emperor Yongle. If you change me, you will probably be fooled.
But Zhou Yu is not an ordinary person. After reading the things in his hand, he said lightly: "Check, who handed this thing to him."
"Yes, the emperor."
The eunuch Mao Gui glanced at Zhao Yao coldly and immediately arranged for someone to start checking.
Zhao often used such tricks. He didn't have such things on his body yesterday, but he had them today. I'm afraid that it would be because he hid the things in his asshole, otherwise he would not have been able to get them all out in the Dongchang Yamen with this thing.
Zhao Yao didn't seem to be surprised that Zhou Yu would make such an order, and he didn't say anything in a silence.
Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Yao: "Since you have the gold medal of avoiding death and the imperial edict of Emperor Yongle, I will trust you for the time being. From today on, you will stay by my side to serve you. However, I do not allow things I don't know to be by my side. Write this secret guard clearly to me as soon as possible. Anyone around me in this palace whose name is missed and I will find it out... I will definitely make you worse than death."
"Sister obeys the order."
When Mao Gui came back, he heard that Zhou Yu wanted to keep Zhao Yao by his side, so he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this person is not trustworthy. Is it too dangerous to stay by his side?"
Zhou Yu glanced at Mao Gui: "Will people in the light be scary in the dark?"
Mao Gui suddenly realized: "I understand that I will make everyone stare at him with wide eyes."
Zhou Yu picked up a cup of tea: "Go and arrange it. I haven't seen Xiyue and Xianfei for several days. Go and bring the sweet potatoes and potatoes. Zhao Yao. Since you can grow these Western crops, you will naturally know how to cook these Western crops. I have only seen them in the book book. Today, you cook to make them for me to taste them."
Zhao Yao was stunned when he heard Zhou Yu's words, and then nodded quickly: "Yes, I obey the order."
If Zhao doesn't understand history, there is no common sense, but the virtuous concubine Li Xiangning should know a little. As long as the potatoes and sweet potatoes appear on the vegetable table today, Li Xiangning will definitely notice it. At that time, Zhou Yu can take the initiative to call Zhao Yao to him and let the two time travelers pay attention to each other.
