    The clouds in the sky were getting lower and lower, and the wind was strong. All the curtains in the hall were blown up, and the door was blown back and forth, making creaking sounds from time to time.  "Quickly, close the doors! Roll up all the curtains!" Wang Chengen kept shouting in the hall, and countless eunuchs and maids ran back and forth in the hall.  Slowly walking out of the hall, Emperor Tianqi stood on the steps of the hall, looking at the black clouds in the sky. Emperor Tianqi had no expression on his face.  The strong wind kept blowing on Emperor Tianqi's body, and the broad dragon robe kept fluttering with the wind, making a hunting sound.  As if he couldn't feel the cold, Emperor Tianqi looked at the dim sky and remained silent for a long time.  "Your Majesty, come in! It's going to rain, so take care of your dragon body!" When Wang Chengen saw this scene, he suddenly felt like his soul was about to fly out.  He quickly ran to Emperor Tianqi's side, knelt on the ground, and said loudly.  Ignoring Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi just stood there, looking at the black clouds in the sky, not knowing what Emperor Tianqi was thinking.  There was no special situation. The heavy rain came with the strong wind, and the huge raindrops hit the eaves, making a crackling sound.  Not long after, there was already water accumulation in the square, and with the beating of raindrops, it was already completely white.  The water droplets kept falling, and as the wind blew, some of them had already fallen on Emperor Tianqi, and his lower body dragon robe had begun to get wet.  Emperor Tianqi still looked at the heavy rain in front of him motionless, his face still gloomy.  Regardless of Emperor Tianqi¡¯s blame, Wang Chengen quickly stood up from the ground and stood in front of Emperor Tianqi.  Letting the water droplets hit him, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.  Emperor Tianqi turned around and walked into the main hall, and whispered: "Close the door!" "Yes, it's the emperor!" Wang Chengen's face suddenly showed joy, followed Emperor Tianqi into the main hall, and asked the little eunuch standing aside to close the door.  .  With the push of several young eunuchs, the huge palace door slowly closed. After a loud bang, the door closed.  Suddenly, the inside and outside of the hall became two worlds.  The lamps in the palace were also lit, otherwise dark clouds covered the sky and nothing could be seen.  Without staying in the main hall, Emperor Tianqi came to the Nuan Pavilion at the back, where only Wang Chengen was waiting.  Slowly sitting on the bed, Emperor Tianqi said to Wang Chengen expressionlessly: "Sit down! I want to talk to you!" Wang Chengen was slightly stunned, took a piece of cake and sat down.  He held Emperor Tianqi's legs in his arms and squeezed them gently.  "Wang Chengen, how many years have you been in the palace?" Emperor Tianqi looked at Wang Chengen and asked softly, seemingly unintentionally.  "Back to the emperor, the servant entered the palace at the age of sixteen. It has been eleven years this year." Wang Chengen looked at Emperor Tianqi and said with emotion.  After hearing Wang Chengen¡¯s words, Emperor Tianqi was slightly startled, perhaps because of historical reasons, or because Wang Chengen always looked mature.  Emperor Tianqi ignored Wang Chengen's age.  It turns out that Wang Cheng is only twenty-seven years old this year, which is when he is in the prime of life.  It is much smaller than Chen Hong.  Not even a little bit younger than Wang An.  "Didn't you and Wei Chao enter the palace together? I heard that you did things together. Why does he seem to be much older than you?" Emperor Tianqi looked at Wang Chengen and asked suspiciously.  Smiling softly, Wang Chengen said in a brisk tone: "That's because the slave entered the palace early, and Eunuch Wei from the Wei Dynasty came a little later. He was already twenty-one years old when he entered the palace. However, Eunuch Wei is not that old either.  He's only thirty-two years old!" Emperor Tianqi could only smile and shake his head. It seemed that he had no idea about the age of the eunuch, so he didn't dwell on this issue, but asked in a deep voice: "Wang Cheng'en, why did you do it back then?  Enter the palace?" "Back to the emperor, there was a great disaster in my slave's hometown. My family had no choice but to sell me to a trafficker. After many changes, I was given to Eunuch Cao. Eunuch Cao then brought my slave into the palace.  Here." Wang Chengen softly recounted his past, his tone not wavering at all, and he had obviously let go.  "Have you ever hated your family? They sold you?" When Emperor Tianqi heard about Eunuch Cao, his face changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.  It was just a momentary thing. Except for Emperor Tianqi, Wang Chengen probably didn't notice it.  Smiling and shaking his head, Wang Chengen said with emotion: "At that time, the whole family would not be able to survive. If one person was not sold, the whole family would probably starve to death. Several children in the family caught Qiu, and finally caught him  But there is nothing I can do." "Is there any news about your family?" Emperor Tianqi asked Wang Chengen while changing his legs.  "I asked someone to look for her, but there was no news. I'm afraid she's gone!" When he said this, Wang Chengen's tone was a little low. It was obvious that his family held a very important position in his heart.  Picking up his legs, Emperor Tianqi said softly: "You go out! I will lie down alone for a while."  "Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen bowed respectfully and bowed out. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off.  The people have nothing to eat and have to exchange their children for food. If this continues, I am afraid that in the future it will be the stone man with one eye who will stir up rebellion in the Yellow River world.  It seems that his idea must be implemented as soon as possible, but he cannot attack as hard as he can. To sort out these ideas, Emperor Tianqi thought of another thing.  As early as when Emperor Apocalypse ascended the throne, a group of people were forgotten by Emperor Apocalypse, or they were selectively forgotten.  There is a person here, the Eunuch Cao whom Wang Chengen mentioned just now. His name is Cao Huachun.  Southern Zhili, Fengyang Prefecture, Magistrate¡¯s Office.  As soon as it got dark, the prefect Li Changling had already gotten up, accompanied by the master Zhang Fang.  "Master Fu, let me go with you! I can give Master Fu some advice if you need anything." Zhang Fang said with a complicated expression while packing Li Changling's luggage.  Shaking her head slowly, Li Changling said seriously: "I am the dignified magistrate of Fengyang, a fourth-rank official of the imperial court. I have to deal with the appointments of the imperial court and the people of Li. You are the master, there is no need to take risks.  This risk means you have to decide what happens in the Yamen." Seeing the seriousness of Li Changling's words, Zhang Fang also knew that talking more would be useless, so she didn't speak, and Li Jiuling silently prepared everything.  "Sir, the proud man is ready and ready to go at any time!" Liu Ya, the head catcher, walked in quickly. He was wearing a raincoat, a bamboo hat on his head, and water shoes on his feet. He was obviously ready.  After listening to Liu Captou's words, Li Changling frowned and said with an unhappy expression: "Liu Captou, don't you know the rules of this house? It has been concluded during the reign of Taizu that sitting in a sedan chair is to treat people as animals.  I'm not old enough to ride a horse, so I asked someone to prepare the horse!" Liu Captou was scolded harshly. Although he didn't retort, he looked at Zhang Fang with a pitiful expression.  He winked at Capt. Liu, signaling him to calm down, and said to Li Changling: "Master Fu, the heavy rain outside has not stopped yet, and the road is slippery and muddy. It is impossible to ride a horse. It is better to ride a horse than to walk.  It's much faster! Just give the bearer some extra money afterwards, the most important thing now is the embankment!" After taking a look at Zhang Fang, Li Jiuling felt a little embarrassed. The weather outside was really not good for riding.  But sitting in a sedan chair is faster than walking. This is what Zhang Fang was reminding Li Changling, but she said it very cryptically.  As a standard Ming Dynasty scholar, Li Changling's health is not much better than others, it can be said that it is much worse.  Naturally, the bearer has traveled all kinds of roads, and he is very physically strong. Even if he is carrying a person, he can walk faster than Li Changling.  Moreover, the mountains are high and the roads are long, muddy and slippery, so something might really happen if you walk on them.  After hesitating for a moment, Li Changling nodded, now is not the time to delay.  He glanced at Liu Captou and said in a deep voice: "Find a few good bearers and give people more money, you know?" "Don't worry, your Majesty, I understand your humble position!" Liu Captou smiled at Zhang Fang,  After listening to Li Jiuling speak, she quickly and respectfully replied.  "Sir, I think you can't go like this. Let someone inform Commander Bai! Ask him to send troops to follow you. If anything happens, there will be help!" Zhang Fang frowned slightly and hesitated.  said.  The Ming Dynasty had a capital commander's department in every province. There was one capital commander, who was a military attach¨¦ of the second rank.  There is also a Guard Commander's Department in each government, and there is one Guard Commander, who is a military attach¨¦ of the third rank.  Fengyang Prefecture has a guard commander's division. The commander's surname is Bai and his name is Bai Lin. He is a real warrior.  Although Li Jiuling, the prefect of Fengyang, was a fourth-grade civil servant, and Bai Lin, the commander of the Wei, was a third-grade civil servant, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, civil servants controlled military ministers, so Li Changling could mobilize Bai Lin in a sense.  Seemingly thinking that Zhang Fang's words made sense, Li Jiuling nodded slightly and said to Zhang Fang on the side: "As for my post, ask Bai Lin to send someone over." For Li Jiuling, who was born as a Jinshi, she is a second-rank scholar.  Bai Lin didn't take it seriously yet. Most of the civil servants in Ming Dynasty's officialdom were like this.  No one in the room was surprised, Zhang Fang nodded and walked out quickly.  As the commander of the guards, Bai Lin did not dare to follow. After all, without the order from above, he led the troops to leave the station privately, which was no different from rebellion.  But in the name of protecting Li Jiuling, there would be no problem if he mobilized a team of troops under his command.  Not long after, Zhang Fang came back with a man dressed as a Qianhu, and behind them were five hundred guardsmen.  Although it is not as elite as the frontier army, it is under the direct jurisdiction of the Nanjing Fifth Army Governor's Office after all. Some of them are stationed in Fengyang, and they seem to be a team with quite strict military discipline.
