Chapter 389
Among the eighteen godsons of Zhouyi, a few served as officials on duty.

Most of them are on duty in important palaces, not only watching who is in contact with His Majesty, but also watching what His Majesty does every day.

Besides, the godson is a servant of the middle and lower ranks, and if he can get in touch with the lower ranks, he can hear all kinds of rumors, such as which father-in-law likes money and which father-in-law gets the most money.

The news of the father-in-law on duty is the leader, and the other eleven prisons are also not behind.

The first year of Zhengtong, the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month.

New Year's Eve.

Zhou Yi no longer spends it alone, but sits at the head of the huge dining table, with nine godsons on the left and right sides, taking turns saying auspicious words to flatter him.

The godsons are all fine, or in other words, there are very few in the palace who are not fine.

On weekdays, I discovered the likes and dislikes of my godfather from the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of Zhou Yi, especially Tingshoubi Nanshan, Longevity Wujiang and the like.

Therefore, when the godson flatters, he always praises Zhouyi's supernatural powers, boundless magic power, and unrivaled magical skills...

"Good good!"

Zhou Yi clapped his hands again and again, such a lively scene was better than remembering the Middle Year's Day.

The table is filled with delicacies, and the drink is tribute imperial wine. With only such a table of food and wine, ordinary people can't earn it for half their lives.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

Zhou Yi's skill is extremely profound, any alcohol smell into his belly will evaporate into nothingness in an instant, even if he eats with his godson, he dare not let himself get drunk in the slightest.

If you say something wrong while drunk and spread it to the outside world, it may be a serious crime of beheading!
Xiao Quzi was the first cadre, sitting on the right, toasted Zhou Yi, and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, I learned from Xiao Luzi in the same house that Eunuch Zhu embezzled at least 50 taels!"

Excitement flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes: "Really?"

"Just more or less."

Xiao Quzi said: "Xiao Luzi is in charge of pouring Yexiang, and I saw with my own eyes that the floor of Zhu Gonggong's mattress is covered with gold bricks, and the tables, chairs and benches used in the residence seem ordinary, but they are actually gold painted with red paint!"

"hiss!"

Zhou Yi gasped, thinking that sleeping on the gold brick was just a rumor in the palace, but he never thought that Eunuch Zhu would actually do it.

Thinking back to Eunuch Zhu's fat body like a pig, I'm afraid it's because he was greedy for too much money, so he was able to hold it up!

Xiao Quzi asked: "Godfather, did you report to Your Majesty that you copied Eunuch Zhu?"

Zhou Yi shook his head slightly, Eunuch Zhu survived two dynasties, he used the convenience of the prisons to sell all kinds of pills, he must be closely related to the prisons and the harem.

"Our family's qualifications are shallow, but we can't overthrow Eunuch Zhu, maybe let him take a bite!"

"Godfather, let's go."

"Let's report on Eunuch Zhu!"

"That fat pig dares to neglect godfather, so let's go to Qing Palace..."

The other seventeen godsons yelled out of righteous indignation, and showed their loyalty to Zhou Yi, as if they wanted to be at odds with Eunuch Zhu.

"You are all our good guys, you can't make it like this."

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes and said, "We just need to let the news out, and when the wind reaches His Majesty's ears, we will naturally clean up Eunuch Zhu!"

Xiao Quzi worried: "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

The news in the palace spread, but before it reached His Majesty, Eunuch Zhu already knew that he must find a way to cut off the spread, and even traced the source to Zhouyi.

Zhou Yi said: "The palace is full of Eunuch Zhu's eyes and ears, so let's not pass it on from inside the palace, but outside the palace..."

Xiao Quzi's eyes lit up: "Godfather is saying that it will be spread among the people, spread to the ears of the governor of the governor, and then the commander of the governor will report it to His Majesty?"

"That's right, that's it."

Zhou Yi only thought about a rough idea, far less mature than what Xiaoquzi said, and praised: "Xiaoquzi is worthy of being the number one in our family, work hard, and when we grow old, you will take over this role!"

"Thank you godfather."

Xiao Quzi kowtowed in gratitude, and naturally felt the jealous eyes of his younger brothers, but he didn't care, since he coaxed his godfather, everything else was fine.

Zhou Yi instructed: "Then follow Xiaoquzi's instructions. You find a way to spread it outside the palace. It must be spread widely and attract the attention of the Zhenfu Division!"

Another godson said: "Godfather, when we were not in the palace, we liked listening to nursery rhymes and doggerel the most. We compiled Eunuch Zhu into poems, which may spread widely."

"Makes sense."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly, and took out a stack of banknotes from his cuff: "I'll leave this matter to you, compile more doggerel, and spread it as widely as possible!"

The godson quickly kowtowed: "We're going to do things, godfather don't worry."

Seeing this scene, the other godsons offered advice one after another and came up with various ways to spread the news about Eunuch Zhu.

until child time.

Three melodious bells sounded in the palace to celebrate the New Year.

Eighteen godsons knelt in front of Zhou Yi, chanting in unison, the congratulatory speeches they had prepared long ago.

"I wish my godfather, the magic power is boundless, and the supernatural powers are great..."

Zhou Yi sat on the grand teacher's chair, listening to the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside the hall, and hearing the congratulations from his godson, he couldn't help laughing up to the sky.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

……

Orthodox two years.

February.

A few nursery rhymes suddenly spread in Beijing.

I don't know the specific origin, but because it sounds pleasing to the ear and sings fluently, it soon became popular in the streets and alleys.

Those idle children were playing around in groups on the street, singing one after another.

"Zhu Buzhu, white jade beds live in the Golden Cave... The East China Sea lacks white jade beds, so the Dragon King invited King Zhu..."

The secret agents of Zhenfu Division spread all over Daqing, and the capital is the top priority of surveillance.

After the spy heard the ballad, fearing that it was a harbinger of a cult's rebellion, they immediately traced the source, analyzed the meaning of the ballad, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not a rebellion, but a depiction of the luxury of Zhu Gonggong in the palace.

The Zhenfu Division and the Internal Servant Division are His Majesty's right and left hands, but they are not subordinate to each other, and they are naturally opposed and mutually exclusive. After receiving the news of the spies, the commander immediately sent them to the Qianqing Palace.

……

this day.

Zhou Yi received the orthodox emperor's edict and went to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters.

"Didn't investigate Eunuch Zhu, but let our family go first. His Majesty must have found out the source of the song. But our family has expected this for a long time, and didn't want to hide it. After all, we want to take revenge with our own hands!"

All the way to Qianqing Palace, knocking three times and bowing nine times when entering the door.

above.

Emperor Zhengtong's face was gloomy, as if he hadn't heard Zhouyi's prostration, he still reviewed the memorial at a leisurely pace.

Knelt for an hour.

Zhou Yi didn't use his true energy to support him. After kneeling for a long time, his face was pale and his figure trembled.

Emperor Zhengtong said coldly: "Get up."

Zhou Yi kowtowed and said, "Slaves dare not!"

"Hmph, is there anything else you dare not do?"

Emperor Zhengtong reprimanded: "The secrets of the court are passed on to the people, so that the people in Beijing can see all my jokes!"

Zhou Yi had expected this for a long time, with a serious expression on his face, he said in a deep voice: "My servant has long known that Eunuch Zhu is greedy for ink, but Eunuch Zhu has a deep background, and even the prince and princess have to respect three points..."

When Emperor Zhengtong heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and became more and more dissatisfied with Eunuch Zhu.

Zhou Yi continued: "Normal means, slaves are unable to bring down Eunuch Zhu, so they can only use this bad strategy to eradicate the huge corruption for the country!"

Emperor Zhengtong snorted: "So I lost face and still want to praise you?"

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Zhou Yi was relieved when he heard His Majesty's voice softened, and the original [-]% confidence turned into [-]%.

"Slaves are also cautious. Back then when we gave Eunuch Zhu money, we never thought that he would not do things..."
