Si Tu was an obscure eunuch with a low status, but no one knew that he was Ying Zheng's confidant.

A few days ago, Si Dou received an order from the emperor, ordering him to secretly investigate to see who had approached Mr. Fusu on a certain day.

Si Dou used some methods to find out everything clearly, so he carefully walked into Ying Zheng's study with the bamboo pieces in his arms.

Ying Zheng drove everyone away and then began to look at the bamboo pieces.

After a moment, Ying Zheng sneered: "It's actually Ji Ming, a humble servant. This person and Huai Guzi have never been on good terms. But I didn't expect that he would be so bold as to plot against Fusu."

Ying Zheng threw the bamboo pieces on the table and said: "Send the order to kill Ji Ming."

Si Dou said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, my slave, I also found some other things."

Ying Zheng asked: "What is it?"

Si Dou said: "Ji Ming has been trying to get close to the Wang family since he had a bad relationship with Huaiguzi. The servant guessed that he wanted to find a backer. However, the Wang family has always been lukewarm towards him. However, just before the court meeting,

That day, Wang Ben's cronies found Ji Ming. After the two had a conversation, Ji Ming met Mr. Fusu by chance."

Ying Zheng nodded: "It turns out to be the Wang family. Okay, very good. There are people from the Wang family in the army, there are people from the Wang family among the princes, and there are also people from the Wang family among the eunuchs. That's good."

Si Dou just stood there with a bow and said nothing.

Ying Zheng said: "Well, there is no need to kill Ji Ming for the time being. Keeping him will be useful to me. You go and choose a reliable eunuch and befriend Ji Ming. From now on, report his every move to me every day."

"

Si Dou responded and left quietly.

After a long time, Ying Zheng said calmly: "Here, call Jiming in."

After a while, Ji Ming walked in with a respectful look and asked, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

Ying Zheng was suddenly furious: "The right is noble, the left is humble. You are so brave. When you enter the door, you step with your left foot first. This is indiscriminate and extremely rude. How is it different from barbarians? Come on, drag your feet."

Go out and take responsibility for eighty years."

Ji Ming was about to cry but had no tears: "Which foot to step first is also involved in the difference between Huayi and Huayi?"

When the sergeant in charge of the execution saw Ji Ming coming, he looked like "Why is it you again?"

Ji Ming sighed and lay there, familiar with the situation, to be beaten.

Although he had been beaten many times, the severe beatings ranged from 80 to 80, which was not something ordinary people could bear. After the punishment, Ji Ming was so weak that he could no longer stand up.

At this time, a young eunuch ran over and stretched out his hand to support Ji Ming.

Ji Ming turned around and saw that it was the eunuch Xiao Yi.

It is the most rare thing to offer someone help in times of need. Ji Ming was almost moved to tears. He took Xiao Yi's hand and said, "I have been beaten all day long recently. Everyone in the palace has avoided me like the plague. Only you, Xiao Yi, are willing to help me."

A handful. In my heart...I am so grateful."

Xiao Yi also had a bitter look on his face: "I accepted Lu Lie's bribe that day and almost made a big mistake. After Lu Lie was imprisoned, no one cared about me. In fact, why did I have any rebellious intentions? I was wronged. I am the best

I understand your thoughts, so I have taken the liberty to give you a helping hand today."

Ji Ming patted Xiao Yi's hand: "Okay, okay, we are in the same boat. From now on, the two of us will be like brothers, supporting each other."

Xiao Yi supported Ji Ming and limped away. Si Dou stood in the corner, observed for a long time, then nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left.

…………

Chunyu was at the Yue Mansion, having a banquet again.

The ones hosting the banquet were still Li Shui and Li Xin. However, Li Shui and Li Xin did not feast and drink today. They looked at the door from time to time, obviously waiting for someone.

Li Xin said to Chunyu Yue: "Sister-in-law, will Mr. Fusu come?"

Chunyu Yue said calmly: "It will come naturally."

Chunyu Yue was a little unhappy. Li Xin didn't know what was going on recently, he ran to his house every day, and called her "sister-in-law, sister-in-law" very affectionately.

Not only that, after arriving, I always wanted to walk around the house, my eyes looking everywhere, and the more I looked, the more I looked like a thief.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing. Chunyu Yue suspected that Li Xin wanted to steal something.

However, Chunyu Yue was very polite and could not drive his relatives out, so he had a terrible headache every day.

In the past, Li Xin would give Li Xin a few words, but Li Xin would impatiently wave his hands and hide away. Now... he just pretends not to hear. Chun Yuyue discovered sadly that since Li Xin and Li Shui got together, his face has become thicker.

Yes, invulnerable to fire and water.

Just when Chun Yuyue was deep in thought, Li Shui suddenly looked at Chun Yuyue with suspicion and said, "As a young master, Fu Su will really listen to you?"

Chunyu Yue said proudly: "That's natural. Mr. Fusu respects his teachers, so he will naturally listen to my words."

Li Shui's eyes lit up: "Respect your teachers and respect your elders? This is good."

Since the last conversation with Li Shui, Chun Yuyue also realized that affairs in the DPRK could no longer be done with passion.

If Fusu failed to overthrow Huaiguzi and instead lost the emperor's favor, it would be more than worth the loss. So he used reason and emotion to admonish Fusu.

Fusu was a benevolent and filial man. First, Ying Zheng reprimanded him for being hostile to Li Shui without evidence. Later, Chun Yuyue persuaded him to befriend Li Shui for the time being and take him for his own use.

Although Fusu was dissatisfied, he agreed.

Unexpectedly, Li Shui would go even further. As soon as Fusu agreed, Li Shui announced that he would entertain Fusu at a banquet. The banquet would be held at Chunyu Yue Mansion.

The more Chunyu thought about it, the more something was wrong. Who was hosting this banquet?

A quarter of an hour later, Fusu came anyway. He did it forcefully.

If the banquet had been held at Shangjun's Courtyard in Lishui, Fusu would have pretended to be ill or found an excuse not to go. But since the banquet was at Chunyu Yue's house, he would have had to come.

If a person is rude to his teacher, how is he any different from an animal?

Fusu bowed to Chunyu Yue and then sat in his seat.

Li Xin couldn't wait any longer. When he saw that everyone had arrived, he quickly grabbed the wine glass on the table and took a sip for himself.

After drinking, Li Xin narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, and then said to Fusu: "Master Fusu respects his teachers and abides by etiquette. He really deserves his reputation."

Fusu smiled slightly and said, "General Li is so complimentary."

Li Shui, who was next to him, waved his hand and said, "It's not a compliment. Nephew Fusu, you have done a really good job in etiquette. I heard that you respect your elders the most, and Huai is not talented. Hehe, there is nothing worthy of your respect.

Too many, but there are some..."

Fusu looked cold and said calmly: "Master Huai is drunk."

Li Shui said: "I'm not drunk, my dear nephew Fu Su. I drink a thousand glasses of fairy wine every day and I'm no longer drunk."

Fusu suppressed his anger and asked: "What kind of nephew? How many years older than you are I, how dare you be so rude?"

Li Shui exclaimed: "I am Fu Yao's teacher, and I am a brother to Dr. Chunyu. Aren't I a generation older than you? Isn't it disrespectful to call you Fusu's nephew?"

Fusu's face was ashen, but he couldn't think of words to retort.

Li Shui stood up, walked in front of Fusu, patted his shoulder, and said kindly: "I know you can't understand my behavior. You think I, Huaiguzi, am arrogant, vulgar and rude. But if you think about it carefully,

Apart from being informal, have I ever done anything harmful to nature? Have I ever bullied men and dominated women? Have I ever forced girls into prostitution?"

"You are angry that I claim to be a banished immortal and gain His Majesty's trust. Not to mention whether I am a banished immortal. Even if I am not, since I came, has your Majesty's thought of searching for the Immortal Mountain been reduced by more than half? The cost of searching for the Immortal Mountain has been reduced.

Isn’t it a big savings? It’s all people’s fat and people’s anointing.”

"What if I really banished an immortal? Don't you want to have a good harvest every year, and the people will no longer suffer from hunger, and everyone can live and work in peace and contentment? This is a kind of governance that even Yao and Shun could not achieve."

"I, Mr. Huai, have a heart to help the world, but I just don't show it. All the civil and military officials in the dynasty are mediocre, and no one knows me. However, I am a gentleman. If people don't know, I won't be embarrassed, and I won't care about them."

Li Shui had successfully brainwashed Chun Yuyue with this set of theories. As a disciple of Chun Yuyue, Fusu was more innocent. After listening to Li Shui's words, he couldn't help but nodded.

Fusu hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case... Master Huai, it would be better if you could restrain your words and deeds in the future."

Li Shui said dotingly: "This child, please call me uncle."

Fusu was about to cry. He always felt that something was wrong and couldn't scream.

Chunyu Yue coughed and said, "Huai Guzi, please stop."

Li Shui smiled, sat back on his seat, and thought to himself: "Fusu's emotional intelligence is not suitable for being an emperor. But he is a gentleman after all, and he values ​​loyalty. It would be a pity to kill him directly. If he could stay and help the ambush,

Yao Lala is popular, so that’s okay.”
