The history of raising pigeons in China can be said to have a long history, just like feeding eagles in barbarians. By the end of Ming Dynasty, the technology had already been very mature.

However, this kind of thing is more like a kind of privacy. At the official level, it should be firmly restricted.

At this time, although the imperial court in various links, including some wealthy merchants, have begun to use pigeons to convey some timely and important news, but the restrictions in the capital area are still very strict.

Therefore, the pigeon breeding base of Changsheng island is located on a hill 40 miles away from the east of the capital city. Yang Jiao Niang deliberately offered a nunnery, but actually bought it completely.

All the information should be sent by the express horse to the foot of the mountain, and then to the mountain through the secret road. Pigeons only send out at night.

When Li Yuanqing and his party arrived at Dagukou for camp, Chen Chuang had already been waiting here for a long time.

Although the journey was tired, Li Yuanqing did not have time to rest. He immediately met Chen Chuang in his study.

"Chen Chuang, a humble official, has met the general."

At the sight of Li Yuanqing, Chen Chuang knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to Li Yuanqing several times.

With a smile, Li Yuanqing helped Chen Chuang up: "it's thinner, but it's stronger. Xiao Chuang, it's been hard these days. "

Chen Chuang chuckled: "it's my honor to share the worries for the general. How dare you say it's hard? General, the capital has been so wonderful these days... "

Li Yuanqing was in Guangning city at that time. From the first batch of five "little brothers" under sun Degong's command, only two have survived. One is Duan Xiliang, the other is Chen Chuang.

At this time, both of them were Li Yuanqing's right-handed men.

After a few simple greetings, Chen Chuang did not dare to neglect him. He was busy reporting to Li Yuanqing about the latest developments of the capital in warehouse 3.

Although in the pigeon letter already had the similar understanding, but at this time, listen to Chen Chuang to analyze carefully, Li Yuanqing's eyebrows, still can't help but wrinkle tightly.

Chen Chuang said in a low voice: "general. Although he is a little flustered at this time, some bad news is always coming out of the palace these days. But according to our inside information, the emperor's health has improved a lot these days. It is obvious that someone is deliberately doing it. Besides, the palace of Lord Xin has been flourishing recently But nine thousand years old, there has been no action... "

Li Yuanqing lit a cigar and nodded slowly.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing looked into Chen Chuang's eyes and said, "what do you think about nine thousand years old?"

Chen Chuang hesitated for a moment, but still decided to say what he thought. He said in a low voice: "general. I am afraid that the panic at the age of 9000 is deliberately pretended. Although the emperor's body is weak, it is at the peak of spring and autumn after all. Even if he is weak, I'm afraid that the problem will not be too big for another ten or eight years. And as long as the emperor is here, I'm afraid it won't be able to fall at the age of 9000. General, I guess at this time, those people around Lord Xin's residence are going to be bloodwashed by 9000 years old before long. "

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly and vomited out a thick fog.

Although Wei Zhongxian was born in mud legs, small farmers and green skin, he had been honed in the palace for decades. He did not know how many opponents he had defeated before he came to this stage. There is no doubt about his political mind and recuperation.

At this time, the situation has not yet become clear, but Donglin has begun to jump around the xinwangfu, which is obviously too anxious.

This is equivalent to, they forcefully put out their necks to give Duke Wei a chance to stab.

However, although Donglin was defeated like a mountain at this time, he almost lost the initiative of the cabinet. However, the prestige accumulated by the civil servant group for hundreds of years was far from what Duke Wei had just gained in a few years, and could be completely wiped out.

At this time, Duke Wei can bear not to start, which shows that this guy is thinking of a bigger plot.

If the emperor's health is not affected Well, who is the winner? It's really hard to say

It's a pity.

At this time, Li Yuanqing and the eunuch party were in full swing. Even if he did not like Donglin, he would never allow the sword of Duke Wei to come down so quickly.

"What's the state of Duke Wei recently?" Li Yuanqing looks into Chen Chuang's eyes.

Chen Chuang reported in a low voice: "general, according to the news from our internal sources, Duke Wei has not been very abnormal recently. The Hakkas, on the other hand, frequently leave the palace. Recently, they seldom live in the palace... "

…………

Chen Chuang left the camp that night and took the lead in planning for the capital.

Li Yuanqing and his party rushed to the capital early the next morning.

Of course, at this time of year, Li Yuanqing will not rush into the capital. They will go to a manor in the suburb of Beijing under the name of a distant relative of Yang Jiao and Niang.

The relatives and soldiers all changed into casual clothes, and went to the manor to gather in several routes and batches.

…………

Capital, forbidden city.The sky is about to get dark, and the deep dusk diffuses, setting off the tall red wall of blue tiles in an ethereal dark red, like the blood mist all over the sky.

Outside the imperial study, Duke Wei was dressed in a purple Python robe with a white jade belt around his waist. He stood on the high white jade stone steps with his hands in his hands. He quietly watched the sunset sky, and the crow's tail pattern in the corner of his eyes became deeper and deeper.

Behind him, father-in-law an and another very clever little eunuch are respectfully accompanying him.

Just now, Duke Wei received the news again. There were three big men from Donglin who went to pay a visit to Lord Xin's house.

"Hum."

Duke Wei couldn't help laughing.

"The emperor is not dead, and the day has not changed! Can't these people wait so fast? Do you really dare not raise a knife to kill people

After his death, father-in-law an and the clever eunuch both knew that the old ancestor was not in a good mood at this time, and he did not dare to breathe. He lowered his eyebrows and followed his eyes for fear of violating the taboo of the old ancestor.

For a moment, Wei Zhongxian suddenly turned his head and said to an Gong justly: "Xiao Anzi, go and have a look at the Qianqing palace. How about the emperor's meal today?"

"Eh? Yes

On hearing the order, father-in-law an didn't dare to neglect him. He said he was busy and ran away.

Seeing Duke Wei's eyes sweeping towards his side, the clever eunuch lowered his eyebrows and eyes and waited respectfully for Duke Wei's orders.

For a moment, the solemn look on the old face of Duke Wei suddenly softened a little, and said with a smile, "xiaodouzi, how do you feel to serve the holy lady these days?"

Xiaodouzi's cold sweat had already seeped out from his forehead. He knew very well that even if he said a wrong word, his life would not be saved.

After thinking for a moment, xiaodouzi said respectfully: "Fengsheng's wife is planning strategies, but there is something wrong with it. The servant will report it to the ancestor at the first time."

Wei Zhongxian suddenly burst out laughing, strode over and patted xiaodouzi on the shoulder, "Xiaodou, you are a smart and good child, and you are also a sensible good child. Do well. As long as I can get through this, I will never treat you badly! "

Xiaodouzi was busy "plop" and knelt down on the ground, "thank you for your promotion. I'm willing to go through fire and water for my father-in-law, and I will die forever. "

Wei Zhongxian smiles, "very good. You are the one who will see you tonight

"Eh?"

Xiaodouzi was sweating for a moment. After a moment, he responded and kowtowed to him, "I promise to finish the task."

Wei Zhongxian laughed: "go. Oh, by the way, tomorrow, go and get a reward of one thousand taels of gold. "

"Thank you."

Until walking a few hundred steps away from the imperial study, xiaodouzi spits out a long breath of turbid gas.

Now the situation is really more and more complicated.

If you're not careful, you'll lose everything.

Fortunately, he has won the trust of Duke Wei. At least, in a short time, he doesn't have to worry too much about security.

Slowly, xiaodouzi is preparing to go out of the palace to pick up the woman from Fengsheng's side to enter the palace, so that the emperor is lucky. Coincidentally, father-in-law an runs over from the opposite side.

After all, xiaodouzi was young, and his reaction was quite clever. He bowed his head and bowed his hand in a hurry: "I have seen father-in-law an."

"Well."

Mr. an snorted from his nose, and then responded. He was about to walk by xiaodouzi. But for a moment, he suddenly regained his mind and showed a smile on his face: "xiaodouzi, how is the old ancestor feeling now?"

Xiaodouzi was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't help sneering at him in his heart, "this dog looks down on the low-level dog scum.".

The mouth is busy but smile way: "return to the words of an father-in-law."

Xiaodouzi glanced around in a mystical way, and immediately lifted the heart of father-in-law an in his throat, like a cock with an elongated neck.

Xiaodouzi then said in a low voice: "father an, the old ancestor is in a good mood now. I'm waiting for the news from you. You must hurry over. "

Father in law an was overjoyed at that time, but he thought of the emperor's side. Now he had a bowl of porridge and a fat face. He could not help but feel a little bitter. For a moment, he suddenly realized that when he left, the emperor was eating a meat cake?

"Douzi, young man, good. Do well. "

With that, father-in-law an took eight character steps and walked forward in no hurry.

Xiaodouzi spat gently. He looks back at father-in-law. He runs to the palace gate quickly. His job is tonight, but it turns out that he is an old man's errand. Wait a minute. You're a fool.

And here, watching the beans disappear in the corner, an father-in-law also dare not trust big, hasten the pace as fast as the dog.

Although xiaodouzi is young, he has been in the palace for nearly five years, and he is quite clever. At this time, he is already one of the few trusted eunuchs in front of Duke Wei.

When he arrived at the palace gate, the guards were courteous and flattered, trying to get close to the red man in front of Duke Wei.Xiaodouzi responds with a smile and walks out of the palace without any hindrance.

At the gate of the palace, there are already many mules and carriages waiting to do business in the palace. Xiaodou takes a glance and finds his old owner.

The old farmer was a 30-40-year-old farmer dressed up with big yellow teeth and a dry cigarette bag in his mouth. When he saw the bean coming, he said with a smile, "father-in-law, would you please get on the bus? Where shall we go? "

Xiaodou quickly stepped into the carriage and said with a sharp voice, "old place. Hurry up. "

"Yes. Father in law, you have a good seat. "

The old farmer slapped a few whips, and the carriage quickly drove to the city.

Out of the palace city more than a mile, the old farmer suddenly took out a note from the cuff and handed it to xiaodouzi from the curtain.

When xiaodouzi opened it, he was overjoyed. It turned out to be the general's personal letter.

He opened the curtain of the carriage and glanced out. At this time, the sun was setting and the sunset was shining. It was like blood mist all over the sky.

Almost without hesitation, xiaodouzi read the secret letter and ate it directly into his mouth. With a gulp, he swallowed it into his stomach.
