The emperor sent eunuchs to the local area, which is different from sending ministers to the local area.

When the ministers arrived at the local area, they were imperial envoys. Although the imperial envoys had the power to act first and then report. However, the imperial envoys were still civil servants. As long as they were civil servants, they had to rely on interpersonal context in the officialdom and had limitations in their actions and would not do too outrageous things.

But the eunuchs are different when they arrive at the place.

Eunuchs don’t sell anyone except the emperor, so they have no bottom line in their actions.

When he was in charge of the Lu King's vassal residence, he was in Huguang. At that time, he was the Minister of Works Zeng Shengwu.

Now that Lu Wang is a vassal, he has changed his position to Henan, and sent eunuchs to supervise it, it means that he will not give you any room for negotiation.

This time, the inner magistrate and young supervisor Ma Yu went south from the capital. This person followed Empress Dowager Li for many years and was loyal and loyal. He can be said to be the confidant of the Empress Dowager.

In addition, it is Gao Huai, the supervisor of the Zhidian Palace. Gao Huai was originally a manager in the Qing Palace, but after leaving the capital, the emperor promoted him to the supervisor of the Zhidian Palace, and was the deputy envoy of this trip.

In addition to these two people, Xiao Shengguang, the left chief of Lu Wang Mansion, and a group of Lu Wang Mansion soldiers.

As for the officials, they sent the Ministry of Rites to serve the Zhongxiangchun.

These people come from different sources. They sit on the same boat, and they are all full of scheming.

Ma Yu and Gao Huai are both eunuchs in the palace, so they should be close, but they cannot get close to each other because one is the queen mother and the other is the emperor.

Ma Yu's age, qualifications and official positions are above Gao Huai, so it is natural that he is the official traveler this time. Moreover, he is the empress dowager's confidant.

But since Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing, three Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, who had three cabinet ministers, came to the palace and forced the empress dowager to return to power, the emperor had monopolized the power. Gao Huai served the emperor for many years, and he would definitely have a bright future in the future.

But as a senior eunuch in the palace, Ma Yu was quite unhappy about Gao Huai coming from behind. In fact, he was even more unfair about the empress dowager. In terms of filial piety, even if you are the emperor, you should still respect the empress dowager.

Therefore, after leaving the palace, Ma Yuyan always called the queen mother, but rarely mentioned the emperor.

Gao Huai didn't argue with him after hearing this.

In addition to being loyal to the Queen Mother, Ma Yu also had his own little plan. After finally leaving the palace, he would never think of returning empty-handed. He also had the mission to buy Lu Wang for the vassal, so he had the intention of making a fortune. When he left the capital, he recruited a adopted son and served as his follower.

Who are these adopted sons?

They are all scoundrels in the city and cannot survive and surrender to eunuchs. There are more than a hundred people on the boat, and they plan to go to Henan to fight for the autumn wind.

As for the two officials, they are all civil officials, so everyone should be easy to talk to, but they are different.

The Ministry of Rites served as the minister of Wanxiangchun, and was only the seventh rank, but they were censors. The current power of the sermon is so great that they were sent to the capital to do business. They did not take ordinary officials into consideration, let alone the royal officials like Xiao Shengguang.

In the eyes of the Emperor, there is only the emperor, so he was particularly flattered to the emperor along the way.

Xiao Shengguang was an official of the royal palace and the rank was the fifth rank, but the officials with ambition were generally unwilling to serve as the official. However, Xiao Shengguang was also the official of the royal palace of Prince Lu, the world's number one prince. This time he was ordered to go south and naturally planned for his future master.

If Wanxiangchun doesn't like him, he can only defect to Ma Yu.

Ma Yu followed the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager and wanted to come to Henan to seize the vassal property of the Lu King as much as possible, so he became a leader with Xiao Shengguang.

So the boat ended up being Gao Huai, with Vientiane Chun, Ma Yu, and Xiao Shengguang. Both civil officials were very unconventional and defected to the eunuch.

The boat was along the Yellow River and finally arrived at Kaifeng to dock.

At this time, there were already officers and soldiers on the dock, and officials came out to greet them.

Immediately, someone followed Ma Yu to report: "Godfather, Henan Governor Yang Yikui, left governor Gong Daqi, censor Yang Yigui, Kaifeng Prefecture Governor Gu Mingyi, and inspector Zeng Qianheng were all listed on the shore. Except for the former right governor Dong Ruhan who was transferred to Guangdong due to the corruption case of the river engineering, all the important officials of the provincial government arrived."

When Ma Yu heard that the governor of a province was about to come out to greet him, he couldn't help but smile, but to Gao Huai, Xiao Shengguang and others, "Governor, the governor came out to greet him, which is somewhat unbearable for our family."

Gao Huai smiled and said, "Eunuch Ma's reputation spreads to Henan. Henan officials respect it naturally and there is nothing they can't afford."

Ma Yu smiled and said, "Where, where, their officials respect the Queen Mother."

Xiao Shengguang smiled and said, "In Henan officials respect the father-in-law, that is, respect the Empress Dowager."

In the cabin, the only one named Wanxiangchun did not speak, and he caressed his beards with reserve.

Ma Yu glanced at Wanxiangchun and said, "Then let's get off the boat."

Xiao Shengguang hurriedly said, "Don't worry, it's still early, so it's better to let them wait."

When Ma Yu heard this, he was exactly what he wanted and said immediately: "Okay."

After waiting for a while, Ma Yu and the others had just landed, but they were so angry that they saw the officials waiting.

Ma Yu smiled and said, "I just got a foot crazier on the boat and couldn't get off the boat for a long time, so I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Governor Yang Yikui was silent, Gong Daqi smiled and smoothed out the situation: "It's really hard for my father-in-law to work hard for the emperor's destiny. It's okay for me to wait for a while."

Ma Yu glanced at the officials and said seriously: "Thank you, Fang Bo for your understanding. Even if you are here, let's announce the order!"

So Ma Yu spread out the yellow silk and took out the imperial edict, and Yang Yikui and other officials kneeled to greet him.

But after Ma Yu came to his mind, he ordered Henan officials that my brother Lu Wang had left the palace for more than a year and should respect the ancestors and divide the feudal system. I will follow the Virgin Mary's kindness to build a vassal government, allocate it to the vassal property, and handle the matters together and hand it over to the local government to pay custody. The meeting of the three departments will be heard.

All the officials received the order and thanked him.

Yang Yikui received the imperial edict and said, "Several imperial envoys have worked hard all the way. First, they will stay at the post station to rest, build a vassal government and allocate it to the vassal property. After we discuss it, we will ask for advice."

Ma Yu nodded and said, "You will discuss the specific matters."

After saying that, everyone arrived at the station.

Yang Yikui and others returned to the Governor's Office.

The officials who were just waiting at the dock remembered the arrogance of Ma Yu and others just now, and felt angry.

At this time, the magistrate of Xiangfu County, the head of the county came to the hall.

Gu Ming, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, asked: "Aren't you entertaining the imperial envoy at the inn? Why did you come here?"

The county magistrate of Xiangfu County said sadly: "The lower official invites the government office, and the chief minister will make the decision for the lower official."

Yang Yikui saw his expression strangely and asked, "Why is this happening?"

The county magistrate of Xiangfu County said: "As soon as the imperial envoy arrived at the post station, he was picky and was very dissatisfied with the reception of the subordinates. The subordinates thought that the overall situation was the most important and tolerated again and again, but the imperial envoy sent someone to ask for three thousand taels of silver from the subordinates, saying that it would be used to buy it for King Lu."

The officials were almost furious when they heard this.

This eunuch is too shameless. He just stayed at the inn and started extorting places before he could even settle down. You are so anxious to get money, there is no second one.

Dai Guangqi, the Hebei Provincial Political Consultative Officer, trembled all over and said loudly: "Zhongcheng, the Qin envoy is so arrogant that he does not take our officials in Henan Province into consideration at all. Since this is the case, what else can we discuss?"
