Chapter 298 Xiao Cao Turns Out to Be Cao Zhengchun, Eunuch Cao
Chapter 298 Xiao Cao... turns out to be Cao Zhengchun, Eunuch Cao
"Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!"
On the streets of the capital, as the officers and soldiers evaded, Eunuch Cao of Dongchang drove away in a large carriage.
"Mighty, really majestic, if only I could be as majestic as him!"
"Little guy, no matter how majestic he is, he is just a eunuch. There is nothing to envy. Could it be that you want to be a eunuch!"
"What is a eunuch?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
There was a burst of laughter next to them. It was the old man with a white face and no beard. He shook his head with a smile and said: "Little guy, it's not true that you can't even eat. It's best not to think about this road."
"The eunuch looks majestic, but it's just a job for a servant of the Tian family to cut off his descendants. There may not even be one who offers incense in the future."
"Old man, thank you for reminding me about what happened just now!"
Xu Xin observed from a distance and guessed that these people had extraordinary identities. They were probably from the same palace as Cao and Yu. With a thought in his heart, he stepped forward and clasped his fists to express his thanks.
The white-faced and beardless old man looked very talkative, and said with a smile: "Hey! The little kid is very polite. You are from outside, right? Are you new to the capital?"
"My father-in-law, my father is Wang Hua of Yuyao..."
"The number one scholar in the new science!"
The old man became uneasy when he heard the name Wang Hua. Although the number one scholar in the new department is just a editor of the Hanlin Academy, in the future, he will be promoted and develop normally, and he will be at least a high-ranking official of the rank of Minister of the Sixth Department.
"Young Master Wang and his entourage have just arrived. They must not be very familiar with the various parts of the capital!"
The white-faced and beardless old man pointed to the person following him and said, "Xiao Cao! You will follow the Zhuangyuan Gong's family today and help them lead the way..."
"yes!"
This "Little Cao" walked out. He also had a fair face and a feminine temperament. He looked to be about the same age as the majestic Eunuch Cao just now, but one was domineering and the other was deep and reserved.
Xu Xin couldn't help but take a "twice" look, because this "little Cao" had very high martial arts skills and was probably no weaker than the previous Eunuch Cao and Eunuch Yu. Moreover, between his eyebrows and eyes, there was something vaguely... Can recognize somewhat familiar faces.
"Excuse me, Mr. Cao!"
Xu Xin bowed slightly to the "Xiao Cao" father-in-law with his fists raised.
"Young Master Wang, you're welcome!"
"Xiao Cao" the father-in-law replied.
Xu Xin went to discuss with Mr. Wang, and the group went to the other side of the capital under the guidance of "Xiao Cao".
As expected, "Xiao Cao", the father-in-law, had some background. Under his guidance, the Wang family's motorcade avoided various inspections by the soldiers on the road, and soon arrived in front of a spacious street.
In this neighborhood, you can see a number of medium-sized mansions. According to the introduction of "Xiao Cao" on the road, this neighborhood is inhabited by some imperial officials, and they are all similar to the Wang family, who are quite wealthy. Only a big family with high capital can afford to buy a mansion.
"Little Prince, this is the mansion purchased by Mr. Wang Hua."
I don't know where this "Xiao Cao" father-in-law came from, but he actually brought the Wang family's motorcade directly to the "Prince's Mansion". Looking at several familiar figures looking at the gate of the palace in front, the Wang Mansion and his party were sure that this should be the place. This is the location of the new "Prince's Palace" in the capital.
"Thank you very much for what happened today, Mr. Cao. But I wonder if you can leave your name. When my father comes back, I will tell him too!"
Xu Xin tentatively asked the name of this "Xiao Cao" father-in-law. The two of them talked about many topics along the way. The more he looked at him, the more familiar he felt.
"Little Prince is a friend that Mr. Cao really wants to make. I won't hide it either. Our name is Cao Zhengchun, and we work under Mr. Zhang Min, the Supervisor of Ceremonies!"
"Xiao Cao" When the father-in-law spoke, he clasped his fists in the direction they came from, which was an obvious hint.
"Eunuch Zhang Min? That's the... prince..."
Xu Xinxin was shocked and looked at "Xiao Cao" father-in-law in front of him with wide eyes. He seemed to be shocked by the news about "Zhang Min" father-in-law. In fact, he was even more shocked. Cao Zhengchun Cao was in front of him. Father-in-law.
Zhang Min, an eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, entered the palace in the second year of Zhengtong. The fact that this person is famous in history has a lot to do with the legendary experience of the current prince Zhu Youtang.
It is said that Wan Zhen'er, the most favored concubine in the dynasty, was jealous and did not allow the concubines in the harem to have the opportunity to conceive dragon seeds before her. As a result, Emperor Chenghua had no children after he had been on the throne for many years, and he lamented that he had no successor.
In the eleventh year of Chenghua, Emperor Chenghua summoned Zhang Min and learned that he had a six-year-old child, Zhu Youtang, in the palace. After the prince's identity was confirmed, Zhu Youtang was immediately made the prince, and his biological mother Ji was made the prince. Concubine Shu died of a sudden illness in June of that year.
According to some news circulated among the people, Concubine Ji Shu, the mother of Prince Zhu Youtang, was persecuted to death by Concubine Wan Guifei.
However, in Xu Xin's view, the above-mentioned rumors have many loopholes, and there must be something hidden.
Xu Xin was not "shocked" for long, then he clasped his fists towards Cao Zhengchun and said, "Mr. Cao, I will forward Eunuch Zhang Min's kindness to my father."
"Little Prince, let's take our leave now!"
The fair-faced Eunuch Cao nodded slightly towards Xu Xin, then turned and left, heading towards the imperial city.
Xu Xin looked at his back with extremely deep eyes and whispered softly: "Cao Shaoqin, Yu Huatian, Zhang Min... and Cao Zhengchun appeared again. It was really lively. There were so many talents among the eunuchs, and all of them had great cultivation. Weak..."
"I thought it was "Dragon Gate Flying Daggers", but it turned out to be "Number One Under Heaven", or it may be a mixture of multiple worlds, or it may be just different stories of the same world view."
"But now, I still can't be sure of the specific situation, unless another Zhu Wushi appears. He should be in the capital, so you can pay more attention to the news in this regard. As long as the existence of "Zhu Wushi" is confirmed, then you have to find a way to go to Tianchi."
"The inheritance of Tianchi Weird Warrior should not be discovered yet. I already have the power-absorbing method. As long as I get the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art and develop slowly, I will be invincible in the world..."
Xu Xin's eyes were particularly deep, looking at the distant imperial city. For the first time, he hoped that his father, the champion, would come back to see him as soon as possible. He now has many things to ask Wang Hua who works in the palace.
For example, whether the emperor has a son who has not been included in the genealogy, named Zhu Wushi or something. For example, what powerful people are there in the palace, and how many eunuchs are divided into different groups... There are too many questions, and I hope they can be answered.
Although it is possible that Wang Hua does not know too much, but getting some information from him can be more helpful for Xu Xin to start his work.
Just like that, it was around four or five in the afternoon. Wang Hua, the champion, got off work, and his former classmate Xie Qian came to the palace with him.
The officialdom is the place where connections are most important. Generally speaking, fellow townsmen will form their own party. After all, they are from the same village. Who else can they help if not their own people?
For example, the Wang family was born in Yuyao, and Wang Hua, the champion, was admitted by his fellow townsman and friend Xie Qian.
Xie Qian himself was also a champion, and at the same time, he was the most promising Yuyao person in the court, and he was considered a top figure in the Yuyao relationship network.
