Outside several alleys where the craftsmen in the northern city of the capital lived, a row of horse-drawn carriages suddenly came, loaded with daily necessities such as grain and cloth, and a group of Jinyiwei guards were either riding horses or walking to guard them.

The convoy arrived at the open area in front of the alley and stopped. Several knife-wielding guards dispersed and looked around with vigilance. The curtain of a carriage in front was lifted, and Wang Chengen got off the carriage, took out a brocade stool and placed it. Chongzhen, who was wearing a robe, jumped out of the carriage.

A few children playing at the entrance of the alley suddenly saw so many carriages and soldiers with long swords on their waists. They were so scared that they ran into the narrow alley, but they were curious and showed their heads to watch the group of people from time to time.

Chongzhen looked at the group of children with a smile, and waved to a barefoot, wearing tattered clothes, biting his fingers, hiding in the alley, hiding in the alley, and said, "Little kid, come to the uncle, come to you, I have something to ask you, and I will give you candy!" After saying that, he reached out to Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen hurried to the car, took out an exquisite lacquer box and handed it to him. Zhu Zhenqing opened the lacquer box, took out a piece of crystal clear candied fruit, and shook it at the little girl who was more than ten steps away.

The girl turned her head and looked at the friends around her, and hesitated for a moment. She finally couldn't stop this kind of food that she had never seen before and looked very delicious. She slowly walked to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen bent down and handed the candied fruit to her. The little girl took the candied fruit timidly. She looked at Chongzhen with bright eyes and did not eat it immediately. Chongzhen smiled gently and said, "Why don't you eat it? This is called candied fruit, but it's delicious. Have it, uncle has it here!"

The little girl relaxed in Zhu Zhenqing's smile and said with a smile: "Erya won't eat it, take it home for her brother to eat! The younger brother is sick, and her mother is crying with her brother in her arms. Erya comes here to wait for her father to come back!"

Chongzhen's heart sank, handed the lacquer box to Wang Chengen, picked up the girl, and said, "Where is your home? Take your uncle over there, you can see a doctor!"

The girl struggled in Chongzhen's arms for a while. When she heard that he could see a doctor, she hurriedly said, "Are you a doctor? Are the doctors all white-bearded grandpas? My house is in the second door!" As she said that, she pointed to the alley in front of her.

Chongzhen hugged her and walked into the alley, and in a deep voice as he walked, he ordered: "Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask the imperial doctor to come over, hurry up!"

Wang Chengen, behind him, responded quickly and turned around to order a lieutenant. The lieutenant immediately turned over and galloped away.

Chongzhen hugged the girl and walked far away, and then came to an old courtyard. The low courtyard door was open, Chongzhen hugged the girl and lowered his head into the courtyard. Wang Chengen and several lieutenants followed him in.

Although the yard is small, it is cleaned very clean. Facing the gate is three main houses, and there is a toilet on one side. A locust tree is planted in the middle of the yard. At this time, leaves have begun to fall.

The girl struggled to get out of his arms, ran to the main house where the yellow nick was huddled with candied fruit, and shouted as she ran: "Mom, the doctor is here, I'm giving me some delicious food!"

With the shouting, a 20-year-old ordinary-looking shǎo     fù came out of the house. She was wearing a patched skirt, her eyes were still red and swollen. When she saw a few strangers suddenly coming to the yard, she was shocked. She immediately took the little girl to her side, looked at Chongzhen and others with vigilance, and said, "Who are you? My husband has not returned from work, and I am a wife in my family, so it is not convenient to talk to you. If there is something wrong, you should wait for my husband to come back before talking to you!"

Seeing that the woman was stubborn, Wang Chengen was upset and immediately wanted to step forward to scold her.

Chongzhen reached out to stop him, signaled him to retreat, and said to him: "Sister-in-law, I heard Erya say that her brother is very sick. I just happened to be a good medical skill. Let's take a look at the child's condition first, let's talk about the others later!"

After saying that, the woman could not be questioned. She walked into the house and was about to stop her. But when she thought that her family was poor, even these thieves had nothing to take. Besides, the child was very sick and had no money to hire a doctor at home. Seeing the child twitching all over, she was already desperate. Now, when Chongzhen said that understanding medical skills was like a drowning person catching a life-saving straw, he immediately followed Zhu Zhenqing into the house.

The light inside the house was a little dim. Chongzhen saw a broken table and two stools in the house. It seemed that this was a place to eat. He was looking around and the woman following him pointed her left hand. Chongzhen followed the gesture and walked into the house on the left. He saw a tattered straw mat on a earthen kang. On it was a boy of several years old, wrapped in a shabby quilt, with only his head exposed.

Chongzhen hurriedly walked to the kang, raised his hand and touched the boy's forehead, and suddenly felt his palm burning. Based on the basic knowledge he knew in his previous life, he knew that it was a high fever and the temperature was around forty degrees. He didn't care about the quilt's dirt and hurriedly untied the quilt that wrapped around the boy. A heat came to his face. The boy was already feverish and unconscious at this time.

He was about to untie the boy's clothes, but the woman behind him rushed over and was about to tear her off, shouting, "What are you going to do!" The guard who followed him was shocked. A guard rushed forward, took the woman's arms to tear her off, twisted it gently, and heard a light crack. The woman's arms dislocated and hung down. The guard raised his palm and was about to hit her vitals. Zhu Zhenqing shouted softly, "Don't hurt her!" The guard turned his wrists and cut it on the woman's neck. The woman's body softened and fell to one side. The guard grabbed it and carried it in his hand and turned out of the room.

It was a long story, but in fact the whole process took only a few seconds. Chongzhen glanced at the back of the guard who had just started.

The woman's actions just now scared Wang Chengen to death. If the emperor was injured, he would die. Fortunately, the guard's reaction was extremely quick. Wang Chengen was stunned. The woman was knocked unconscious. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and keep blaming himself in his heart.

Seeing that Chongzhen was about to continue to do something to the boy tuō    yī, he hurriedly stepped forward to take it. Zhu Zhenqing ordered the window to be opened, and suddenly a cool air flowed in the house, diluting the turbid breath in the room.

Chongzhen arranged for the guard to go to the kitchen to cook a pot of hot water, and the guard left.

Erya in the yard saw a fierce-looking man coming out with his mother with his head softly, thinking that his mother had been beaten to death by this man. She burst into tears and threw the candied fruit in her hand on the ground. While crying, she pounced on her and beat the guard with her small fist. The man was extremely embarrassed and could only dodge.

Chongzhen walked out when he heard the crying, signaled the guard to leave, then squatted down and hugged Erya, and said in a gentle voice: "Your mother is so tired that she falls asleep and will wake up later. Erya, be good, Erya doesn't cry, and I won't treat your brother if I cry again!"

Erya suddenly stopped crying, with tears still hanging on her face, and sometimes she sobbed a few times. She looked at Chongzhen's eyes and felt safe. She said, "Eya is obedient, Erya doesn't cry. Uncle is a good person and will cure his younger brother. The bad person's eyes are very fierce, and the uncle's eyes are the same as his father!"

Chongzhen's nose felt sour, his eyes turned red, and tears were about to flow down. He took a deep breath, hugged Erya and stood up, and looked around.

A family that is penniless and dirty and messy environment makes people feel distressed when Erya grows up under such conditions. Since I have come to this world, it is God who arranges to change all this. I want all innocent and lovely children like Erya to grow up in a rich, healthy, safe and happy environment. This is my mission.

A guard came over with boiling hot water. Chongzhen put down Erya and asked the guard to watch it carefully. Then he entered the house and asked the guard to soak the towel in hot water and wring it dry. He repeatedly scrubbed the boy's neck, ears, armpits, soles of his feet and other parts.

Erya's towel was as unbearable as a rag. Wang Chengen took out a white hand towel from his arms and handed it to the guard. After some busyness, Wang Chengen reached out to touch the boy's forehead and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, it's effective, it's much cooler than it was just now!"

Chongzhen shook his head and said, "This is only temporary. If you don't cool down in time, it will burn his brain! To be completely cured, medicine is needed. Why haven't the imperial doctor come yet?"

While speaking, a sound of horse hooves came, and the sound disappeared when the alley was at the mouth of the alley, followed by a chaotic sound of footsteps.

Chongzhen walked out of the house, two tall guards carried an old man in a green official robe, about 60 years old, and rushed into the hospital. After seeing Zhu Zhenqing, the guard let go of the old man, saluted him and pushed him aside. A guard behind him handed the medicine box in his hand to the old man who was still breathing heavily. Zhu Zhenqing naturally recognized that this was Hu Fangwen, the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital, with a skillful medical skills. The prince Zhu Cixuan was treated several times when he got sick.

Hu Fangwen recovered and suddenly saw Chongzhen wearing a robe. He was shocked. Just as he was about to kneel down and bow down, Chongzhen reached out to stop and said, "I am in a conspicuous manner, there is no need to give a big gift. It is important to go see the patient first!"

Hu Fangwen entered the house under the guidance of the guard. Erya looked up at Chongzhen with big eyes and said, "Uncle, the old man seems to be afraid of you! Erya recognizes him as a doctor, Erya recognizes that box, and the doctor uses that box!"

Hu Fangwen's arrival made Chongzhen relax. He bent down and picked up Erya, and smiled and said, "Uncle is in charge of the doctor. When this old man comes, your brother's illness will be fine!"

A quarter of an hour later, Hu Fangwen walked out with the medicine box, put it down, bowed to Chongzhen, and said, "Your Majesty, that child is a symptom of wind and cold fever, not a serious illness, but has not been treated in time before he has reached this point. We have given him a powder to relieve exterior and heat, and the condition has stabilized. We have left enough medicine to recover after taking it a few times. Thanks to Your Majesty's methods, it has slowed down the condition. Otherwise, the child's condition will be difficult to cure!"

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Mr. Hu is still very skilled in medical skills. I am not worth mentioning. I will reward you after returning to the palace!"

Hu Fangwen hurriedly thanked him, and Zhu Zhenqing ordered him to be sent back to the palace. Hu Fangwen gave his salute and said goodbye and left.

At this time, Erya Niang also woke up slowly. When she opened her eyes and saw Chongzhen teasing Erya in her arms, she immediately became angry and shouted. When the neighbors around heard the movement, they all walked out of their own yard and looked here. When they saw the guards standing solemnly with a knife outside the door, they hurriedly retreated back to the yard, closed the door and refused to leave.

Chongzhen understood Eryaniang's thoughts and signaled the guard to take her into the house to see the child. Wang Chengen followed him in. After entering the house, the guard who injured her quickly restored his arm. Eryaniang ignored the pain and ran towards the boy lying on the kang, shouting in a hurry: "Xiaobao, Xiaobao, are you okay?"

The boy lying down was about three or four years old. He woke up at this time. When he saw his mother pounce on him, he said weakly: "Mom, you're hungry!"

Erya Niang suddenly saw her son wake up, and was overjoyed and hugged him. She felt that although his body was still hot, it was no longer hot. Tears in her eyes dripped down, and she burst into tears in joy.

After he calmed down a little, Wang Chengen coughed and said, "You woman is so unreasonable. What a noble man my master is! This time healing your child himself, you even have to tear my master off. Do you know what a serious crime this is! That is, my master is generous. If someone else is changed, your whole family will not want to live!"

The woman stopped crying when she heard this, got up and knelt down at Wang Chengen, kowtowed heavily, and said, "I blamed my benefactor wrongly. I am guilty, I deserve to die!"

Wang Chengen avoided her and said, "Forget it, my master is the greatest good man in the world and will not care about you. If you want to thank me, go out and thank my master. I can't bear your gift!"

When the woman heard this, she stood up, looked back at her son who had grown up on the kang, wiped the tears from her face, ran out of the house quickly, came to Chongzhen, knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, looked up at Zhu Zhenqing, and said, "I have no eyes, I don't know that the noble man is here to save my child. If the noble man wants to be beaten and punished, I have no complaints!"

Chongzhen put down Erya, signaled to the guard to help the woman up, and smiled and said, "You are also very loving, and I will not blame you. The doctor just said that your child is fine and you only need to take medicine a few more times to recover. Well, I have something else to do. Someone will send rice, flour, pork, and five taels of silver to all the craftsmen of you later. Your husband will pay monthly salary in the future. All the craftsmen of your family, including your family, will get better and better in the future. You must raise Erya and her brother at home. In the future, the court will still plan to run schools so that Erya and the others can read and read. This sister-in-law will have a better life in the future. I will leave now and I will often send people to visit Erya!"

Eryaniang was stunned. When Erya heard that Zhu Zhenqing was leaving, she hugged Chongzhen's thighs and looked up at him, her eyes full of reluctance.

Chongzhen touched the messy hair on her little head lovingly and said warmly: "Uncle has a lot to do. Erya is good, listen to his parents at home, take good care of his younger brother, and help his mother do the work. Uncle will let someone come to see you, and he will pick you up to play at his uncle's house when he has the chance. Uncle will leave now!"

Erya's eyes were hiding tears, but she endured it and didn't flow out. She just nodded obediently. Chongzhen touched her little face and turned around and walked out of the yard. Wang Chengen and others followed closely behind, and the people in the yard were cleaned up, leaving only the well-behaved Erya and her mother who had not yet woken up.

Back at the parking lot of the convoy outside the alley, Chongzhen ordered the entourage to bring supplies and silver to distribute them from house to house. It was said that the emperor cared about the life of the craftsmen and specially paid the money to the craftsmen himself. There was no need to say much about the rest. After the craftsmen paid the price, they would tell their families.

A total of more than 100 guards and eunuchs followed. Except for leaving more than a dozen people to guard and defend, the rest of the people took their supplies to move.

After Chongzhen walked back and forth with his hands on his back several times, he suddenly saw that the guard who had just knocked Erya Niang unconscious was not far away to guard him, so he waved and called him over.

The guard is about thirty years old, of medium figure, mediocre appearance, and walks calmly and strongly. He does not carry a knife, but his waist is bulging and unknown what weapons are hidden.

When he came to Zhu Zhenqing a few steps away, the guard knelt down and saluted. Zhu Zhenqing waved his hand to let him stand up and looked him up and down. The man felt embarrassed when Chongzhen saw him and was at a loss.

Seeing this, Chongzhen couldn't help laughing and said, "What's your name? Where are the people? How many people in the family?"

The man hurriedly bent down and bowed and reported, "The empress is the hereditary of the Jinyiwei family Cheng Qianli, a native of the capital, with a wife and two sons in the family, the eldest son is thirteen years old, and the second son is ten years old!"

Chongzhen continued, "Cheng Qianli, I think you have good martial arts skills. Who are you a master? Can you get internal skills? Can you fly over the eaves and walk around the walls?"

Cheng Qianli reported: "Weichen's martial arts master was Wudang Mountain. His master was Taoist Zhang Yunyi, a friend of Weichen's father. When I was six years old, Weichen's father sent Weichen to Wudang Mountain to learn skills. He stayed for ten years before returning to the capital. He assaulted his father's position five years ago to protect the emperor. The emperor just said that the internal master was not very clear, and he could not even fly over the eaves and walls, but it was not difficult to use equipment to climb the wall too high!"

Chongzhen continued to ask, "How many people can you hit with your bare hands?"

Cheng Qianli Si replied: "If you face an ordinary person and don't use weapons, you should be able to deal with dozens of people. If you know how to punch and kick, there should be no more than ten!"

Chongzhen asked again: "What weapons are you using? I think you are carrying weapons on your waist?"

Cheng Qianli replied: "I use a soft sword, and I also use darts well. It can hurt people about ten steps!"

Chongzhen said: "How many people are around me who are as good as you? Do you usually have a private conversation with each other?"

Cheng Qianli glanced at the guards around him and replied: "These brothers are all guards of the Jinyi for generations, they are good at their skills, and they all have their own strengths and weaknesses. There are more than a dozen people like me who are usually given up their posts, and they sometimes get a conversation after they get together, because they are all friends of the world and are as close as brothers!"

Chongzhen nodded and said, "My escort is not only high-quality, but more importantly, loyalty. You must remember this. My safety is placed on you. Apart from the royal family, you don't have to please anyone. There are any difficult things that cannot be solved. Tell me, I will make the decision for you! Today, when you wait for the escort, you will reward you with a thousand miles of silver and a hundred taels of silver, and the remaining escorts are five taels!"

Cheng Qianli knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and looked up at Chongzhen, with a solemn expression, and said, "I have been hereby inherited for several generations, and I have only known the word "loyalty and righteousness since I was a child! I swear that no matter whether in the past or in the future, I will have no different intentions towards the emperor. If I violate this oath, my whole family will be reborn as a pig or a dog in the next life!"

Chongzhen reached out and asked him to stand up and said, "I believe in you. As long as you are loyal and the royal family, I will never treat you badly."
Chapter completed!
