    Time will not stand still for anyone or anything, and the fourth day of September has arrived as promised.  Regarding the incident of Crown Prince Zhu Youxiao losing his temper last night, no one else in the palace knew about it except Wang An, the eunuch who was in charge of etiquette. It was as if this incident had never happened and it did not cause the slightest ripple.  Straw Hat Hutong is a famous place in the capital, because it is the place where many noble people live, including hereditary nobles and high-ranking officials.  Although Yang Lian is also an official, his official position is just a job of a household clerk. He is not qualified to live here, not only because the houses here are expensive, but also because of the established rules in the officialdom.  The feng shui of Beijing is that the east is rich, the west is noble, the south is humble, and the north is poor. Most people who live in the east of the city are businessmen and rich.  But the businessmen at this time were not like those of later generations. Their social status was not high, so they could only live in the East City. No matter how rich they were, they would not dare to live in the West City.  Xicheng is full of dignitaries, officials in Beijing, hereditary nobles, and even many princes in Beijing are here.  Those who live in Nancheng are mostly the so-called lower-class people, those who work in brothels, martial arts schools, and perform tricks and operas. These people all live in Nancheng.  Beicheng was a shanty town at this time, and all the poorest people in the entire capital lived here.  Yang Lian¡¯s mansion is in Xicheng, but the location is not very good, and it is not very big. It is just a small courtyard with three entrances.  On the morning of the fourth day of September, three people came to the door of Yang Lian's mansion. These three people were very special because they were three eunuchs in the palace.  Following the announcement from the concierge, these three people were brought in. When they arrived at the flower hall, Yang Lian was already waiting here.  "Mr. Yang, we are polite here." Although three people came, there was only one person who walked into the room. This person came to the middle of the room and nodded slightly to Yang Lian.  Seeing this eunuch, Yang Lian frowned, why did he come here, and his body that was about to stand up also turned back.  Looking at the eunuch with some displeasure, Yang Lian said: "Eunuch Li, let's get straight to the point! Why are you here? That day you blocked the prince's way because the prince spared your life because he didn't care. How can you  Don¡¯t you not know how to cherish it!¡± The person who came was none other than Li Xuanshi¡¯s confidant eunuch Li Jinzhong. That day, in order to please the crown prince Zhu Youxiao, he decided to draw a clear line with Li Xuanshi, but the originally planned matter did not happen.  This made Li Jinzhong regret it, and immediately returned to the arms of his old master.  "Master Yang, our family has been in the palace for many years, and many things can still be seen clearly. However, Master Yang, you are still young and have little experience, so you still cannot see many things clearly!" He walked slowly to the edge of the chair and gently  Sitting down gently, Li Jinzhong didn't seem to care about Yang Lian's attitude, and still said with a smile on his face.  Looking at Li Jinzhong with a calm expression, Yang Lian kept sneering in his heart and snorted: "Yang has read the books of sages and knows that there are many things that a gentleman will not do. It is better not to say these false things.  Yes, we are different. I just want to know when Li Xuanshi will move to the palace?" A hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes, but the expression on his face did not change at all. Li Jinzhong smiled and said: "Master Yang, Li Xuanshi was appointed by the late emperor for the prince.  There seems to be nothing wrong with her adoptive mother living in Qianqing Palace! " "I have nothing to say to you. Go back and tell your master to leave Qianqing Palace as soon as possible. If you leave early, you may gain something.  , otherwise, hum." Yang Lian's last "hum" was profound and extraordinary. He believed that Li Jinzhong could understand it.  Seeing that Yang Lian had already served tea to see off the guests, Li Jinzhong also stood up, shook his sleeves and walked outside.  But as soon as he stepped out, Yang Lian's voice came from behind.  "You should also behave yourself. Chao Qin Muchu who is a slave is not a good slave." This sentence is a warning to Li Jinzhong that if you are not careful, your end will definitely be very tragic.  Li Jinzhong's body trembled slightly, but he smiled softly and said in a deep voice: "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. You, Mr. Yang, are not the master of this world. Many things are not decided by you.  No one knows what the outcome will be until the end." Leaving behind these meaningful words, the great eunuch left slowly.  As if being stimulated by Li Jinzhong's words, Yang Lian's beard kept curling up. He put the tea bowl on the table and cursed loudly: "You sycophant, eunuch." The whole city of Beijing seemed to have calmed down again.  No one knows what is going to happen, and life seems to go on quietly like this, but the reality is always not what people want.  On the fifth day of September, the day before the new emperor ascended the throne, thirteen ministers gathered in the cabinet, making the originally small court house somewhat crowded.?.  In addition to these thirteen ministers who took care of life, there were also Hu Kegui Shizhong Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. These people gathered together to discuss the matter of the new emperor's enthronement tomorrow.  Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yang Lian was the first to speak. He coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne tomorrow, but the Crown Prince lives in Ciqing Palace.  Li Xuanshi lives in Qianqing Palace, which is against the rules. We must find a way to drive her out so that the crown prince can ascend the throne smoothly. " Yang Lian's statement was supported by many people, but no one spoke, and the cabinet on one side.  Fang Congzhe, a bachelor of Shofu University, was also indifferent.  "Master Fang, you should come out and take an overview of everything at this time. I believe you can definitely lead us to support a new king." Seeing Fang Congzhe's attitude, Yang Lian suddenly felt something bad in his heart, and hurriedly used words to trap Fang Congzhe.  "Well, I think Li Xuanshi is the adoptive mother appointed by the late emperor for the prince. Besides, the late emperor just passed away, so we drove Li Xuanshi away. Isn't it a bit unkind? I think we should let Li Xuanshi move in a few days later!"  Fang Congzhe's expression was uncertain, and he seemed to have made a lot of determination before saying these words.  At this time, Yang Lian understood that Li Jinzhong must not be the only lobbyist yesterday, but Fang Congzhe was also here.  It's just that I don't know what kind of benefits that Lady Li promised, so that the first assistant bachelor actually fell to her side.  Yang Lian always thought that although he and Fang Congzhe belonged to the Donglin Party and the Chu Party respectively, they should have the same interests in this matter. Unexpectedly, the leader of the Chu Party would actually switch sides at this time. What was the reason for this?  Recommendations, collections, clicks, and various requests!
