Chapter 852 The old man is not confused
Liu Chao, the garrison in the Nandu, has been using these years, but for some reason, he is unwilling to stay in the Nandu City.
It would be fine if you talk about summer. It was like a stove in the Nandu city. Eunuch Liu was too old to bear the heat. But in the cold winter, Eunuch Liu also loved to live in Xiaoling, which was really a bit confused.
However, no one dared to care whether the inner guards live in the city or outside the city. Even the heroes and officials in the Nandu City wished that Liu Chao would not be able to do it in the city.
Chen Fu knew why Eunuch Liu loved to live in Xiaoling. It is said that more than 20 years ago, a fortune teller had a fortune-telling to Eunuch Liu, saying that Eunuch Liu was destined to be rich and noble outside, but if he lived inside, his life would be dull and even bloody disasters.
This hexagram is in line with it.
At that time, Liu Chaoyong was the leader of Nei Shutang and came out with the first place. He served as a writing eunuch in the Sili Supervisor. This position has been dealing with all the great kids in the palace all day long, and his future is very bright.
If Neishutang is the Imperial College in the palace, then the eunuch writing is equivalent to a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Therefore, as long as Liu Chao was good at serving as a student, he could be appointed as the supervisor in two or three years. After that, he would be less than the supervisor and follow the steps.
But who would have thought that Liu Chao had been using this eunuch for more than 20 years and never moved to his post.
Liu Chao was depressed and went to find fortune-telling hexagrams. The hexagrams showed wealth and honor. I don’t know if the true fortune-telling god or Liu Chao used time to operate. After one month, the Silijian and the Imperial Horse Commission started fighting.
The final result was that Cui An, who was born in the Imperial Horse Prison and served as the garrison eunuch in the Nandu, was dismissed, while the unknown Liu Chaoyong was sent to Nanjing to leave the town, and he jumped from an eighth-rank eunuch to the fourth-rank red robe.
Since then, this garrison father-in-law, who was respectfully called "old man" by the Inner Guard of Nandu, looked at the four words "wealthy and honor" very seriously, and even evolved into the habit of living outside the city today, not in the city. Only Chen Fu and other people knew about this matter. These people were Liu Chaoyong's confidants and would not publicize it to the outside world.
The duty room that Liu Chaoyong used was on the east side of the inner garrison hall, and was a distance from Chen Fu's supervisor's duty room. When Chen Fu arrived outside the garrison public room, he heard the clamor of children and the laughter of Eunuch Liu in the yard.
He asked what the two eunuchs on duty were doing.
A little eunuch replied: "The old man is playing tricks with the young master."
Liu Chaoyong is an eunuch, and he will never have any relatives and grandchildren. The one who is called the young master by the eunuch is the grandson of Liu Chaoyong's younger brother, who is only six years old this year.
Liu Chaoyong is old and likes this nephew very much, so a few days ago asked someone to pick him up from his hometown in Yangzhou.
At this moment, the grandparents and grandchildren are playing a game called "Sayao" inside, which is to fold paper into square pieces and then smash each other on the ground. Whoever can smash the opponent's "Sayao" over will win.
This game is not something that ordinary people can play, because paper is very precious. If you have paper, it is mostly used to remember important things, but you dare not waste it, and you are even reluctant to use it to wipe your butt.
In other words, only families with good financial conditions dare to let their children play this game, but they must be careful. Do not let the paper with words fall into the hands of children, otherwise the county school teachers will definitely speak if they see it.
Who did Liu Chao use? Not to mention making some paper for his nephew to play with, even if he gave him gold, he would not blink. Which master in this world dared to point at the nose of the Nandu garrison and scold disrespect the sages?
Chen Fu went in with a smile, and didn't dare to go up and talk, just stayed quietly beside him.
When Liu Chaoyong saw him, he nodded and then had a lot of fun with his nephew.
After about half an incense stick, Liu Chao took his nephew's hand to the inner room and asked the servants to serve the young master, and then called Chen Fu.
"Is there anything wrong?" Liu Chaoyong took the hot pound handed over by the eunuch and asked while wiping his face.
Chen Fu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "There is something that the old man has to get a charter."
"What's the matter, tell me."
Liu Chaoyong threw the pound to the little eunuch and then sat down. The little eunuch naturally served hot tea.
Chen Fu whispered: "It's that little guy who got into trouble again."
Liu Chao said with a "hmm" and said, "Hasn't he been appointed as the guard of Jiangnan? How much effort has he done? What trouble has he caused?"
Chen Fu yelled and said, "Old Master, that little guy is messing with the Duke of Wei's Mansion this time."
"Thini?"
Liu Chaoyong was stunned, "Why did he fight with the Xu family?"
Chen Fu immediately told the story of Wei Liangchen occupying the Liyang Iron Field.
After hearing what Chen Fu said, Liu Chaoyong glared at him: "You, how much benefit did you take? Do you dare to take this matter?"
Chen Fu hurriedly smiled and said, "Old Master, you are just killing me wrongly? How dare I get involved in Duke Wei's affairs... Didn't you tell me to stare at that guy?"
"I asked why Xu Hongzu sent someone to invite me back. It turned out to be for this." Liu Chaoyong put down the tea bowl and thought to himself.
"What does the old man mean in this matter?" Chen Fu asked softly.
"Does the matter of guarding Jiangnan have anything to do with our inner guard?"
Liu Chaoyong waved his hand, "It's up to our family to think that our family doesn't know about this, don't get involved. The two families want to fight, so let's go."
When Chen Fu heard this, he felt a little sad. If Eunuch Liu did not protect Wei Liangchen, Wei Liangchen would not be able to fight against the Duke of Wei. You must know that Duke of Wei Xu Hongji could now hold the military power of the Nandu. If tens of thousands of troops garrisons near the Nandu move, Wei Liangchen's handicrafts would not be able to withstand it.
But then he heard Eunuch Liu say again: "By the way, go and pass on a message to us in the army, and say that no one should run around without our command. If something happens, our family will not forgive them."
"Yes, yes, I'll go and say it right away."
Chen Fu was sure that if Eunuch Liu said this, Duke Wei would not be able to transfer troops.
In this dynasty system, if the troops stationed in the southern capital want to mobilize, they must agree on both internal and external garrisons, and no one is missing. The internal garrisons are more important than external garrisons.
Eunuch Liu did not allow Qiu Ba to act indiscriminately, which cut off the idea of Duke Wei's military service. If he really wanted to fight, he could only send out his family soldiers. In this way, Wei Liangchen might not be able to withstand it. The boy also had thousands of people in his hands.
But he was also strange when he was happy. Didn’t Eunuch Liu say that he would not interfere, why did he make such a arrangement?
Liu Chaoyong knew what Chen Fu was thinking. He smiled and shook his head and said, "I've told us in Hangzhou. I said that if the sea route can be opened this year, 500,000 pieces of silk can be sold. The emperor has always been concerned about this matter. But our family doesn't care about the sea route, and the royal family has sent it to that kid. At the critical moment, we can't let that kid get into trouble, otherwise, the emperor will definitely blame us."
After saying that, he taught Chen Fu again: "We are eunuchs, and we can only see the emperor. We must do whatever the emperor wants. We must not distinguish between importance, otherwise we will not know how to die."
Chen Fu nodded quickly and said, "I will remember the words of the old man for the rest of my life."
"You'll give us another word to that little guy, but if you want to win or lose, the emperor has no shame, and our family has no shame, but he needs to be ugly."
Liu Chaoyong waved his hand and signaled Chen Fu to do it.
He picked up the tea bowl and drank it twice, his mouth slightly raised. News came from the capital that the boy could be guarded by Jiangnan, but the imperial concubine supported him strongly.
