Chen Guanlou stayed in the Zen temple for two days and confirmed that Master Zhuang had Alzheimer's disease and was not pretending to be sick. If he was pretending to be sick, it can only be said that Master Zhuang was an extraordinary person. It is not enough to express one ten-thousandth of his suffering. He sent the news back to the capital and waited for Sun Daoning's next instruction. Sun Daoning's instruction was just one sentence: "Take Master back to the capital as soon as possible and place him in the imperial manor." Chen Guanlou received the order and revealed his identity and official documents in front of Eunuch Liang. I thought the other party would make things difficult, but I didn't expect that the other party would look relieved. "You are finally here. I serve Master, and I am worried every day. Now that the dust has settled, I can report to the higher-ups." "The previous emperor passed away, who are you reporting to?" Chen Guanlou asked casually. "Of course I have to report to the palace. Lord Chen, take the tutor away quickly. The tutor's illness can only be cured in the capital. Although the temporary palace is luxurious and rich, there is no decent doctor within dozens of miles. The tutor's condition is getting worse and worse." "Was the tutor sick when he first came?"
"Yes! When he came, his mind was already confused. He was confused every day and couldn't even figure out who he was. I look forward to someone coming from the capital every day. If something happens to the tutor, I won't be able to report to the emperor." "Did the late emperor place the tutor here?" "I don't know about this. I'm just a small steward who only does things according to the orders of the palace. You have to ask the eunuchs in the palace who placed the tutor in the temporary palace. I suspect it was someone around your majesty." This statement reveals a lot of information. Could it be that the late emperor didn't do the disappearance of the tutor? Emperor Jianshi had not been deposed at the beginning, but he had been suspected by the previous emperor. His situation was very difficult and he could not cut off his own arm. Forget it, it was not his turn to worry about this matter. He was only responsible for finding people and taking them back. Chen Guanlou asked Eunuch Liang to prepare a carriage and arranged two eunuchs to serve the daily life of the Taifu on the road. He did not know how to take care of people, he could only carry people and rush all the way. The Taifu's body would definitely not be able to bear it, so he had to take a carriage to the capital. Eunuch Liang agreed. Prepared two carriages, arranged a driver and eunuchs. Asked if he wanted a palace maid to serve, he didn't want it because it was troublesome. Eunuch Liang looked a little sorry, "The palace maids working in the temporary palace are very pitiful. If you can take two back and tell the palace later, maybe they can leave the palace early. Even if they can't leave the palace, they will probably stay in the capital to work, which is better than working in the temporary palace." Chen Guanlou heard this and still didn't change his mind. The journey was long and winding, and it was really troublesome to rush back to the capital with the palace maids by his side. He also had to take care of her. He was in a hurry to return to the capital, so he didn't stay for long. He got everything ready and set off. He had official documents on him, and he ate and drank at the post station along the way. The people of the world were poor and the court had no money, and the conditions of the post stations were obviously declining. On the way, he met several waves of officials returning to the capital to report on their work. They ordered food at the post station, but they didn't have any when they ordered one or two. What was there? There were only some local specialties, and there were fewer game, so he had to rely on luck. He remembered that the last time he went to the south to escort prisoners, he also stayed at the post station. At that time, the conditions of the post station were not bad. The food was good, and there were all kinds of game. Only a year had passed, and the post station had reached the point where it was difficult to support.
The situation in the world deteriorated too quickly. The old emperor died unjustly. If the old thing continued to live, the world would continue to be ruined. The worst were ordinary people. There were many bandits on the road, and they robbed all the way. With Chen Guanlou here, these small shrimps are nothing to be afraid of. However, considering the health of the old man, they can't keep going, they can only stop and go, and the journey is infinitely extended. Passing through big cities on the way, they have to find doctors to see doctors and prescribe medicine for the Taifu, and the journey is delayed again. It was ten days later when the group returned to the capital. Dusty all the way, according to Sun Daoning's instructions, the Taifu was placed in the Huangzhuang. Chen Guanlou couldn't leave yet. He had to see Sun Daoning and hand him over to him in person to complete the handover of this task before he could leave. It's impossible for anyone to take the Taifu away. If there is an accident at that time, it will be a quibble, and this matter will be unclear. Therefore, all accidents must be prevented from happening from the beginning. After waiting for a day, Sun Daoning hurried to the Huangzhuang. Chen Guanlou told him, "The Taifu should have Alzheimer's disease, you go in and see the situation. The details will be discussed later." Sun Daoning nodded and hurried into the house to visit the Zhuang Taifu. Chen Guanlou was guarding in the yard. He found that Sun Daoning brought several people who were obviously eunuchs with him this time. People of Emperor Jianshi? Sun Daoning seemed to be highly valued by Emperor Jianshi, and such secret matters were entrusted to him. After half an hour, Sun Daoning walked out of the room with a serious face, waved his hand, and several eunuchs from the palace entered the room and closed the door, not knowing what to do. Sun Daoning sighed and said with emotion, "I didn't expect that the old man Taifu would... Hey... You worked hard this time. Thanks to you, Taifu can return to Beijing smoothly." Chen Guanlou sneered, laughing at the other party for trying to cover up his guilt. "I found the tutor in the palace in the east. Such a living person was locked up in the palace. I don't believe that no one in the palace knew about the situation. Your Majesty wanted to find the tutor, how could there be no movement in the palace? You, Lord Sun, had to come forward, and you came to me. Why did you take such a big detour?" "You ask me, but who can I ask? Someone in the palace knows the truth, but it doesn't mean that Your Majesty knows it. Your Majesty entrusted this matter to me, which is a trust in me. And I entrusted the matter to you, which is also a trust in you. As for the inside story, neither you nor I should ask about it. It's not good to know too much." Chen Guanlou snorted twice. "Okay, I won't ask about the inside story, just act like a fool and deaf. Where is my reward?" "Jiang Tu is not dead yet, why are you so anxious." Sun Daoning looked impatient. Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, "Sir Sun, you are not thinking of crossing the river and destroying the bridge." "Nonsense. You have been dealing with me for so many years, have you ever seen me go back on my word and break my promise? The most important word in the officialdom is: trust! Only by respecting promises and keeping your promises can you last long." Yes, yes, just keep your promises. "I trust you once. I have been away for so many days, but Jiang Tu is still alive. You are very patient in doing things." "People in the officialdom will not last long without patience. Take Jiang Tu for example. Ten years ago, the court officials wanted to drink his blood and eat his flesh. Because the late emperor protected him, they endured for ten years. Until now, they finally have the opportunity to regain their place. If it were someone who was impatient, Jiang Tu would have framed him and put him in prison long ago, and the grass on his grave might have been as high as a person. You still have a lot to learn."
