It is said that Shuyin sent Gong Peiyin as the military adviser to go out with Chu Qianli. Once Peiyin left, there would be no Shuyin confidants in the palace.There was Du Youding, the servant of the household department who delivered letters for Zhu Wenran, who shook his lips and drummed his tongue.Now that I see it, I often look for folk rare things to give to Shu Yin, so as to please him.Shu Yin was very impressed with Du Youding. Although he knew that he was trying to please him, he accepted it gladly. Because he lived in the palace for a long time, he was really bored, but Du Youding could always talk about his heart and make him happy.From here, Shu Yin gradually recruited him into the palace and listened to him tell some interesting folk stories.

After a while, Du You decided that the time was ripe, so he casually talked about the taxation of the people at the beginning of the year while talking about interesting things.Then Shu quoted the news and asked casually, "Can you pay them all?" Du Youding made a distressed expression, frowned and sighed, and shook his head slightly.Shu Yin looked sideways at him, "There seems to be something hidden in it, Mr. Du might as well say it directly." Du Youding straightened his body and bowed respectfully, and said, "This matter has something to do with the Minister of the Household Department, and I dare not speak nonsense." Shu Yin was dissatisfied Said, "I'm not talking too much, if I teach you what to say, you can say it!" Du Youding was very happy, and when he said yes, he counted out all the things that the minister of the household department had embezzled land tax, stolen and sold land, and corrupted the law.Shu Ying stood there in shock for a while, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there really such a thing?" Du Youding hurried forward two steps, leaning towards Shu Yin's side and said, "If there is no proof, how dare I speak nonsense? , don’t you bear the crime of slander.” After speaking, he took out a letter from his sleeve and listed thirteen crimes committed by the Minister of the Household Department.Shu Yin was trembling with anger, and immediately ordered someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.

How many people who are officials in the court can be invincible, so that they can be compared with all the crimes in the letter.Shu Yin was furious, those who were not upright were afraid of getting involved and would not speak out, and those who usually have festivals were even worse at this moment.Shu Yin immediately beheaded him, so that the position of minister fell to Du Youding. After Shu Yin, he ordered Du Youding to copy the former mansion.Du Youding inevitably filled his own pocket again.

After this incident, Shu Yin was somewhat suspicious of all the officials but only believed in Du Youding, who was clever in his rhetoric.Du Youding took the opportunity to request the establishment of a supervisory office to supervise the actions of officials.Shu Yin agreed, so he deposed the official censor, set up a supervisory office, and ordered Du Youding to be the chief minister.The officials in the DPRK and China were afraid that Du Youding would visit him, so they flattered him at the top and said good things about him, and gave him generous gifts in private.Nadu Youding lost all the limelight for a while, and his power and position in the court almost caught up with the prime minister, Gong Peiyin.

It is said that the Vietnamese army went to the Qi country, won the first battle, and occupied Gucheng, an important food and grass area. This good news was sent back to the country, and the court celebrated with joy.Some said that Shu cited good people, and some said that the soldiers of Yue State were strong and strong. In short, Shu cited endless compliments.Du Youding set up a grand banquet in the apse of the palace to congratulate the event.Shu led the order that all officials above the fourth rank could go to the banquet, and invited Zhu Wenran on the eve of the banquet.This event was also a happy event for the Qi Kingdom, so why didn't Wen Ran participate, so she said to the eunuch who sent the post, "You go back to King Yue, and Wen Ran will definitely attend the banquet on time." After saying that, she turned around after receiving the post, and ordered Miao Wen to close the door.

Besides, Du Youding has a younger sister, called Du Shi, who is quite pretty, and Youding wants to take advantage of this celebration banquet to present this younger sister to Shuyin, so as to consolidate his position in the court.

Both parents are bereaved, originally the younger sister's marriage is decided by the elder brother, but this girl is resolutely unwilling, and even has the tendency to seek death and life.What is the reason?It turned out that Mrs. Du was born in the same year as the housekeeper's son, and grew up together since childhood. They were childhood sweethearts, and the two had already made a private decision for life.When Mrs. Du heard that Du Youding wanted to give herself to the King of Yue in order to separate her from her lover, she was extremely unwilling.That night, when the two of them were having a secret meeting, Mrs. Du told the matter to the man, who was only serving as a guard in the mansion at this time, and when he heard that he was going to compete with the King of Yue for a woman, he was so scared that he couldn't speak, and just stared at Mrs. .Mrs. Du thought that his affection was deep and reluctant, so she leaned into her arms softly, poked the servant's heart with her finger, and said, "We are in love with each other, why don't we run away from here?" Stunned, he quickly grabbed Du Shi's shoulder, pushed himself a foot away, and stammered, "This...how..." Du Shi asked anxiously, "Isn't the little official sincere to me?" Du Youding's sister, if she had asked this question earlier, the guard would have taken her heart out, but it was different at this moment. The guard said, "Under the whole world, is it the king's land? How can we escape from the palm of the king of Yue?" Du said , "We can go to Qi country, we can go to Meng country, and we will hide our names from now on." The guard refused, "Now the Vietnamese army is in Qi country, and I heard that the king has long wanted to occupy the gang country." The guards were not comforting either.After crying, Du said, "My heart is dead. I will tell my brother to go to that celebration banquet tomorrow, and I will never see you again from now on!"The guards were stubborn and refused to keep her.

On the second day, Du Youding asked again, but Du's tone softened, and when Youding saw her change of heart, he hurriedly explained the key points with her.In the end, Mrs. Du hesitated and asked, "It's rumored that the king doesn't like women, so it may be useless for my brother to send me away." Du Youding chuckled, "You have the right to know about this matter, it's okay if the king doesn't like women, you just enter the palace I need to find a way to wait for a night, the king has no heirs, if you can give birth to a prince, then my Du family will be among the royal family from now on." The Du family nodded.

When it was time for the banquet, Du Youding disguised Mrs. Du as a dancer and mixed with the musicians into the palace.

When Shen Shi arrived, the palace was lit with lanterns and colorful music, the officials took their seats one after another, and the celebration banquet began.Shu Yin was led to the seat by the maid of the guard, and after sitting down, the maid on the side poured wine for him with a flagon.Man Xiwen and Wu stood up and raised their glasses, "Congratulations to the king for winning the first battle!" Shu Yin smiled and said, "This is the credit of the prime minister and the general, how can I get the credit. Although the two of you are not present today, we will also You need to toast the two of you first." He picked up the wine with one hand and drank it down.Everyone applauded and toasted.The second cup is the wine for King Yue.After drinking, he didn't let go of his hand, resting his elbow on the table, holding the wine cup in his hand, the maid saw this and stood up to pour the wine.Shu Yin looked at Zhu Wenran and said, "Prince Qi, don't you respect me?" The officials stood up to toast, but Wen Ran didn't get up before sitting in the case. Then he drank it himself.This rude move caused a lot of discussion among officials.Shu Yin didn't take it seriously, and raised his hand, motioning for the musician to play.On one side there is a harp played, and on the other side there is a bell and a piano.In this fairy music, everyone laughs, talks and drinks.

Halfway through the banquet, Du Youding noticed that Shu's eyes were blurred, and he seemed to be drunk, so he motioned to the side, the music gradually became soft and misty, and thin smoke rose again from the hall.Du Youding clapped his hands lightly, and saw a group of dancing girls enter.Du Shi stood in the center wearing a light yellow gauze, her dancing posture was graceful, her eyebrows were raised and colored, and all the officials present stopped drinking and eating, and their eyes were fixed even though they turned away.After Du's dance, everyone said hello loudly.Shu Yin also said, "This girl is very good!" Du Youding immediately came out of his seat, bowed to Shu Yin, and Du retreated behind her.Du Youding said, "This is my sister, who has admired God's grace for a long time. She performed a dance in front of the palace without an announcement this time, and I hope the king will forgive me." Shu Yin was drunk and hazy, waved his hands and said, "Oh, good dance You should be rewarded! You should be rewarded!" After speaking, he shook his body, pushed the wine pot held by the maid, and said, "Go, give that dancer a glass of wine." Du Youding decided to die Yin Yin didn't mean anything wrong, so he said, "Since Your Majesty loves the little girl's dancing so much, why don't I send the little girl to the King, so that the King can watch her every day." Shu Yin was covering his forehead with his hands, and raised his eyes when he heard the words Come on, hold your head up and look at Du Shi carefully for a while, then hang your head down again, touch the wine cup on the table with your hand, take a sip, take a sneak peek at Wen Ran from his arms, see him sitting upright, staring straight ahead, serious, The food in front of him remained untouched.Shu Yin's heart was suddenly upset, he clicked his tongue, and said to Du Youding, "Then just stay here to serve the king tonight." Du Youding was overjoyed, and thanked Shu Yin with Mrs. Du.

After the banquet, the melodious sounds in the hall seemed to have not dissipated, and there was still a lingering rhyme in the air.The table and the ground were messed up, and the cups and cups were placed in disorder. The maids cleaned up quietly. They have long been accustomed to this matter, and they even forgot to complain a few words in their stomachs.

Shu guides the teacher to support him, and staggers all the way back to the dormitory.After arriving in the palace, he waved away the eunuchs and maids, fell down on the couch, looked up and saw Mrs. Du standing not far away, so he narrowed his eyes, as if he couldn't see clearly, and frowned for a while.Although Du Shi is not a woman from Yanhualiu Lane, she has been through the wind and moon for a long time, and An Neng doesn't understand, so she hurried forward to flatter her.Shu Yin stretched out his finger to point at her, and Du Shi went over, pointing with that hand and followed to his side, Shu Yin tied his tongue, and after a long while, Gulu said, "You... who are you?" Du Shi bent his eyes and smiled cleverly, "The little girl is Du Youding's younger sister. She performed a dance in front of the hall just now, and she was honored by the king. She is here to serve you at this moment." Shu Yin straightened her waist, turned her face to one side, thought for a while, and said, " Well...it seems that this is indeed the case." Then he said, "Then...then serve this king...um...just change your clothes." The woman responded with a light smile.

However, after agreeing, he did not change clothes with Shu Yin, but unbuttoned his own robe beside him, and the clothes slipped off, revealing fragrant shoulders and jade arms.Seeing Shu Yin staring at him, Du smiled at him and wanted to take off the inner lining.At this moment, Shu Yin suddenly grabbed her hand, the force made Du Shi cry out in pain.Shu Yin said, "Why is this so!" After saying that, he threw her hand away, Du Shi almost fell to the ground, Shu Yin shouted, "Come here!" Several guards rushed in outside the door, Shu Yin pointed to Du Shi and said, " This girl is so shameless, take her away quickly, don't embarrass her here!" Du Shi was quite shocked, with round eyes staring, a small mouth, and he was taken away without a hasty expression on his face.

Shu Yin woke up halfway from the wine, saw Du Shi's outer shirt was still beside the couch, kicked it with his foot, and snorted.

On the second day, Du Youding went to the palace to find his sister.Mrs. Du was humiliated by this last night. When she saw her brother today, she cried and made noises and insisted on going home.Du Youding comforted, "Let's stay in the palace and look for better opportunities." Du Shi sneered, "I have no name and no place, so what's the good of staying here as a lowly maidservant! Brother, if you force me, why don't you go and ask for me?" Madam's identity!" Du Youding rolled his eyes, thought it was reasonable, and said, "Your Majesty will keep you overnight, and all officials will know, if I ask the Majesty to give you your identity, even if he has no kindness for you, he will not Brush my face." Du Shi thought of the guards of the Du Mansion, and said, "Can I go home and stay for two days?" Du Youding said, "Is it possible! Besides, there seems to be a plague spreading in the area now, and you can't stay in the palace. It can be safe." Du said displeased, "Everything is done according to elder brother's wishes, elder brother has never heard a word from younger sister." Du Youding knew that he would rely on his younger sister in the future, so he laughed, "How can you be a brother?" There is no reason not to listen. As long as my sister agrees to stay with the king, I can say nothing about the rest." Du Shi thought for a while, and said, "There is no one in this palace who is my confidant, and the maid who serves me is clumsy and secretly laughs. I had a scandal last night. I want to bring the servant girls from the mansion into the palace. Will you help me with this matter?" Du Youding waved his hand and said, "Hey! How difficult is it to get a few maids into the palace?" Du smiled. Smiled, "If that's the case, then please ask my brother to send a few more trusted guards into the palace." Du Youding said, "You are a female family member in the palace. Apart from maids and eunuchs, how can you keep guards around you?" How can I have no one to protect me." Pulling You Ding's sleeve again, he said in a low voice, "Besides, there is someone of my own in the harem, so if he has something to do, he can take care of me." Du Youding was startled, and looked up at Du Shi "You know..." Du smiled and said, "I can't say it." Although Du Youding was shocked on the face, he said in his heart, what a vicious little girl, I just thought of sending my sister to give birth to a prince. She has already thought about it. usurped the throne.But although it is not feasible to think about it, what if there is an eventuality.So he agreed.Mrs. Du then mentioned several guards in the mansion, of course the housekeeper's son was among them.
