Devil’s Advent

The beast that originally rode out from the middle of the capital had stretched its hips halfway.

Eunuch Huang had also changed horses at the post station a few times before and finally crossed Wangjiang, but he did not go to the famous Selling Gold Cave, which is now gradually regaining its vitality. I missed Yupan City, and stopped to rest when I arrived at a village to the east of Yupan City.

In fact, there should be no rest.

If a person is not dead, he has to continue bumping forward. After all, letting go of his will is a real "military matter" in the true sense, and there is no delay.

But the problem is that Eunuch Huang's lower abdomen hurts really badly, as if someone is holding a needle and piercing it back and forth, his face is also white and there is not much blood;

With the possibility of sudden death visible to the naked eye, Eunuch Huang had to follow the advice of his subordinates to rest next to the village for the night.

The imperial edict is very important, but the eunuch who announced the edict suddenly died halfway, who do you ask to announce the edict?

This will also affect the sanctity and even validity of the imperial decree.

After all, it is really not difficult to forge an imperial decree, and it can even be said to be very simple. What is difficult is that it is difficult for you to forge a person who declares the decree.

This person has a rank, a recognized status, and the qualifications to match the imperial decree. First recognize the person, and then recognize the content of the imperial edict.

For example, if you let an old man on a field ridge appear in front of dignitaries with a real imperial decree, will he be recognized?

Here, in the imperial court, a strict matching system has long been formed.

Therefore, Eunuch Huang himself is also part of the imperial decree.

It's not that he is afraid of death, cherishes his life, or is exhausted, but it is for the emperor's order that he has to save his dog's life before the decree is announced.

There is a small military fort in the village and town where he settled, and there is a planned military area around this military fort, and the village and town are very strict in reviewing outsiders. The small courtyard of their own house was vacated for Eunuch Huang to live in.

Eunuch Huang was put on the bed by his subordinates, and he came out in a hurry. He didn't have an imperial doctor with him, and he couldn't have prepared a full range of medicinal materials. He brought a lot of pills to replenish Qi for the long journey, but the problem is that although these things are also It is said to be medicine, but Huang Gonggong fed two pills when he first got sick, and the pain became worse immediately, and the people below did not dare to feed him anymore.

After the elder learned about it, he found an old soldier. The old soldier came over to take a look, and then found some herbs and started to decoct the medicine.

Eunuch Huang, who had been resting on the bed for an hour, waited for a bowl of green concoction, and smelled a very pungent stench before drinking it, but Eunuch Huang was not a hypocritical person, so he pinched his nose and took a sip Bored clean.

After lying down for another half an hour, hey, it doesn't hurt anymore!

One of his servants went to ask the old pawn for the prescription, and the old pawn explained: In this village in Tuntian, whoever has a headache, or doesn't care about the nose, mouth, or ears, even if the leg is broken, he will fry it like this. medicine;

If you drink it, it will work, and if you drink it, it will not work, then go to a nearby big town to find a doctor. The soldiers in the military village have registered household registration, and those who do not have registered household registration Just borrow the identity of the soldier as a bidder to go to the doctor and get medicine without spending money, and the palace is in charge of it.

When the waiter heard this, he forgot the purpose of his questioning for a moment, and said in surprise:

"Isn't such an imposter deceiving the palace?"

The old pawn smiled and said, "Naturally, it is impossible to use it for others. If you use it too much, accidents will happen, and the higher-ups will check it out. Only those who have a close relationship can let people rub their hands."

"The medicine just now?" the waiter asked again.

"Didn't I say it, I don't know what it can do with it. Most of the problems in this world can be taken care of by yourself after drinking the medicine. The rest is in twos and threes. A real doctor What can be seen is actually just a half-fold and a half-fold, Lord Yan really wants to take your life, no matter what you do, your life will be gone.

I wait for Qianshou to treat illnesses with this basic attitude. If you can bear it, you can bear it. It is said that even the elderly themselves will refuse to go for treatment. When they are old, they don’t have to worry about it.

I became a bidder, so I can have this guarantee, so I don't know how many young children are waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the prince to order the conscription to fight. "

The waiter nodded and understood that his godfather didn't meet some country expert, but that his godfather got lucky and got sick.

Seeing that the waiter stopped talking,

The old pawn said, "There is going to be a war."

"Ah?" The waiter just lost his mind.

The old pawn smiled "hehe", with both disdain and pride on his face, and said: "The guys in the west are careless and have lost the battle, no, then we will rely on our prince.

I am too old to go to the battlefield, but the young children of the village households in the village are all looking forward to it.

These days, it is not the first batch of messengers like you to settle here. You can see that the people over there are panicking, haha. "

The old pawn obviously didn't know the identity of this messenger team, and he only thought it was someone sent by other prefects to deliver letters here.

After learning the identity of Xuanzhi's eunuch, the superintendent was also asked not to tell the people around him, and was only allowed to send news to the rear.

Therefore, in the eyes of the old pawn, these people are rich and noble, and their status is not ordinary, but after all, they have nothing to do with him. In the land of Eastern Jin, at the foot of the prince, there is no need to curry favor with outsiders. I don't even have this awareness.

The waiter returned to the house and reported the truth.

When Eunuch Huang heard this, he laughed and said, "It is His Majesty who has blessed me as a servant."

The people around should be one after another.

In fact, it’s because the third master is not here. If the third master is here, he might take out his own scissors, come on, acute appendicitis, right?

What, you don't know what skin it is? Then the third master, I will help you cut off the skin that is in the way, hey, what about your skin?

"When we left Beijing, the atmosphere in Beijing was very depressing. When we first entered Jindi, there was a lot of turmoil in the western Jindi. There were even rumors about whether the Gan-Chu coalition forces were going to enter Nanmen Pass.

When we arrived in Jinzhong, Yingdu's side was better. Xu Taishou is indeed a capable person, everything is in order, and the auxiliary soldiers, food, grass and civilians are already preparing.

Tell me, they are all surnamed Xu, why is our envoy Xu Qingshan and Xu Qin such a waste? "

Eunuch Huang is everyone in the palace, so he is naturally well-informed, even when talking about these things with his servants, he will never step on others easily.

But Eunuch Huang knew that the imperial envoy had already taken His Majesty's orders before, and the errands were poorly done. It shouldn't be difficult to take back part of the military power in the local area with the general trend, and boil a frog in warm water. As big battles and right and wrong;

Those who can be sent out by imperial envoys are naturally impossible to be idiots. The reason why they do this is because they are eager to show their ears.

Originally, those who were waiting for Xu Qingshan should have been transferred back to Beijing for cold storage. After being labeled as "disadvantaged" in his career, it would be difficult to do anything in the future;

But once this incident happened, what would happen to him, hehe...

Eunuch Huang was a little relieved and said:

"Fortunately, after entering Jindong, the soldiers and civilians in the Wangfu's side are still full of enthusiasm, and our family's heart has also settled down.

This is actually nothing, when the late emperor was here, our Dayan had never lost a battle, it doesn't matter if we lose a battle, we just need to win again, when the time comes, our face will still be in our Dayan's hands.

The late emperor had the king of Jingnan and the king of Zhenbei, so your majesty also has the prince of Pingxi.

The current situation, in our family’s view, is nothing more than Gan Chu’s disobedience to the general trend and wanting to struggle to the death. Let’s invite Prince Pingxi to come out and teach them how to behave. "

Eunuch Huang knew that there were other voices in Beijing, such as letting the eldest prince, Qingshuang, and even Li Liangshen take command to stabilize the situation at Nanmen Pass, because Pingxihou was already the king of Pingxi back then, so please ask Pingxi king to come out of the mountain. Then King Pingxi is really directly equal to the status of King Jingnan back then.

However, the involvement here is really too big, because no matter how much they oppose King Pingxi's self-proclaimed or truly loyal ministers who are worried that the feudal town will completely sit down for the sake of imperial power, they have to admit that the current Dayan has the highest prestige , the one who is most capable of handling this situation is King Pingxi.

Moreover, at this time, they are clamoring to recommend other candidates to go to Nanmenguan, and if they are dealt with, they also say that if they are not dealt with properly, none of these people who are clamoring for power at this time will be able to escape afterwards.

This is a gamble with one's own wealth. After all, there are only a few ministers who are willing to overwhelm him in a moment of enthusiasm.

And most of the officials still hold the old-fashioned view, it is best to let Prince Pingxi come out to stabilize the situation first, and don't make any more messes.

It’s okay to talk about the matter in Liang Guo, if we really want to cause chaos in the west of Shanxi and even the entire San Jin, if the land of the San Jin that the late emperor managed to conquer was lost again, everyone will become Dayan’s sinners .

"It doesn't hurt anymore, let's continue on our way."

Eunuch Huang got up.

The waiters below did not dare to continue to persuade, and immediately packed up their things and informed the guards outside.

After leaving Shichang's house and getting on his horse, Eunuch Huang shouted:

"My lord, the servant is here again!"

…

"My lord...slave...slave...slave...here comes..."

When I came, it was hard all the way, but I was also full of spirit;

In my mind, I was looking forward to the heroism of personally charging and beheading an enemy in the Battle of Fan City;

all good things,

After finally entering Fengxin City,

Finally came to the gate of the palace,

Looking at the gate of the palace that was still closed after the transmission,

Looking at the two stone lions at the door that have been wiped clean and shiny,

Eunuch Huang cried out almost sadly.

No,

No,

Don't treat our family like this!

My lord, my lord, our family doesn't want it, our family doesn't want it!

Eunuch Huang knelt down on the ground, holding the sealed imperial decree box in his hand.

At the gate of the palace, guards in brocade clothes stood with swords in hand, and there were crowds of common people watching outside, blocking the place completely.

When the blind man was in Shengle City, he began to recruit storytellers, and the performance in the form of drama has long been popular in Eastern Shanxi, and even a branch library was opened in Yupan City;

Because the blind man knows the essence of propaganda high ground, if you don’t occupy it, you will be occupied by others;

during this time,

In Fengxin City, Xueguan Pass, and Zhennan Pass, two areas where there are also military and civilian settlements, teahouses, social operas and other stages, the propagandists have followed the spirit of the blind man's instructions and publicized the "why" of the incident.

However, you cannot say that the blind man is messing with right and wrong again, because the blind man really only propagates the "truth".

The imperial envoy selected by the emperor fought with Yi Shanbo of Sushan Daying for power;

After the turmoil in Liangdi, the emperor personally promoted the general soldier... Ran Min;

Here Ran Min also added character embellishments, for example, he did not hesitate to kill his wife in order to curry favor with Shangguan;

Moreover, the blind man also processed it artistically and happened to be right, just like "the bird knows the ambition of the swan", as if Sima Gong was the hoe, the blind man added a sentence to Ran Min: King Pingxi can do it, and Min can do it for!

This incident really did not wrong Ran Min, and this person does not know whether he is alive or dead now, and there is a high probability that he will die in battle. Even if he did not die, it is impossible for him to recover from his sins this time.

After all, his surname is not Ji, and the others are not as lucky as the First Prince.

So, for this kind of person, just step on it and label it as a villain!

The whole story was that there was a conflict between the imperial envoy personally selected by the emperor and Yi Shanbo, who was really good at fighting, and Yi Shanbo had to stay at home behind closed doors. Adventurously, in an ambush;

The loyal general Li Fusheng, in order to rescue him, was besieged by the Qianchu coalition forces. After fighting for many days, he died for his country.

What will the court do next?

It must be to invite our great prince to come out of the mountain!

That's the theme of this story,

Teahouses, restaurants, theatrical stages, and even the sisters in the red tents are all preaching this "passage" to the common people over and over again.

There are several elements to ensure that the story is wonderful,

The big villain in the traditional sense, well, if in Yandi, the people of Yan have deep feelings for the emperor of the Ji family, but it is good to change it into the emperor. Those prime ministers or some ministers deceived the emperor, but In Jin, Jin people don't have much awe and affection for the Ji family emperor.

In short, the emperor is the big villain behind the scenes, the imperial envoy and Zongbing Ran are the real villains in reality, and Li Fusheng and Zongbing Li are the victims used to earn tears and sympathy and deepen the grief of the story.

Contradictory, very prominent, emotional rendering, very strong;

The most important thing is to be cool,

That's what Jin people like to watch most when they listen to stories and watch social dramas. Their own prince appears on stage at critical moments and defeats all opponents.

Behind this story is:

You wait, you watch,

Those bastards from the imperial court finally came to beg our prince to come out of the mountain!

Therefore,

When Eunuch Huang changed his clothes as an eunuch before entering the city, and after the guard of honor had come out to enter the city, he suddenly found that the people gathered to him immediately, and they gathered all the way until he came to the Pingxi Palace.

If Eunuch Huang hadn't come to Fengxin City for the first time, he might still think that the people here are eager to feel the power of heaven.

certainly,

Now Eunuch Huang is in no mood to think about these things.

He is very wronged,

he is very sad,

he wants to cry

And she was crying to the point of tears.

Our family was not mentally prepared, our family never thought of it;

How many colleagues who are the same year as our family envy our family last time after accepting the imperial decree of King Jingnan, but did not die in the end, but rose steadily;

But who knows, what is owed has to be made up!

God,

It would be better to die of illness on the road. It will really hurt if the head hits the stone lion.

"My lord... my lord~~~"

…

Behind the gate of the palace,

Chen Daole and He Chunlai stood there, while the blind man sat on the steps, peeling oranges, and taught the two children:

"This move is not to follow the example of Prince Jingnan, nor is it for our lord to show his prestige, well, our lord may have this demand, but back then, Prince Jingnan would not do such frivolous things.

And the reason why the two Xuanzhi eunuchs were killed on the stone lion back then was a kind of catharsis in itself, to help those soldiers who died in Wangjiang with You Paoze to vent their grievances.

The first emperor deliberately did not let King Jingnan take command, but chose the eldest prince to take command, and lost the battle in the end;

This tone must be announced, otherwise the next soldiers and horses will not be easy to lead.

Just like now, the local governance of the army leader that started last year has intensified this year, and the imperial envoy and Yi Shanbo had a trouble like that.

Yi Shanbo himself has made mistakes, even bigger ones, but when it comes to fighting, those Qiuba are used, you have to make them feel that you are on their side, and you have to help them vent their anger.

The Xuanzhi eunuch is the face of the emperor. This is called showing the emperor's face to the group of Qiuba.

In this way, everyone can feel at ease, and at the same time, I can take this opportunity to show my prestige that you don't even follow the emperor's will. The local army chiefs and local officials here are like rabbits when they see you. No one's relationship is easy, so naturally I will serve you wholeheartedly. "

He Chunlai and Chen Daole listened to the non-stop nodding like chickens pecking at rice, and felt deeply taught.

At this time, Chen Daole asked: "My lord will let that father-in-law just like this..."

Hearing this, the blind man threw the orange to Chen Daole, and He Chunlai heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.

"If that's the case, that's fine."

If he can really be like King Jingnan who is absolutely merciless in everything, his blind man's long-cherished wish will probably be fulfilled very early.

It's a pity that the Lord is not such a person.

If it was a red-robed eunuch with an unfamiliar face, then he would be killed if he hit him, the Lord would not take it to heart.

However, the lord has dealt with Huang Gonggong several times in Yanjing City, and also in Jindi, this Huang Gonggong is also very good, although he can't advance, but he is very good at licking.

Most likely, the Lord will not.

It's just that it doesn't seem beautiful for you to insist on becoming the same as King Jingnan, at least for the demon kings of your own family, life will lose its appeal.

sometimes,

The blind man himself will also fall into this kind of hesitation and contradiction. Maybe this is the collision of professionalism and life.

But think about it differently, this is like a family, there must be one person who understands the taste of life, and at the same time there must be another person who cares about tea, rice, oil and salt, so that life can be comfortable and stable.

If it's all the former, the days won't last long, and if it's all the latter, the days will be boring.

It's like the master can show his true temperament to his heart's content, and it's good to be a pair of white gloves by himself, anyway, he has no interest in being a good person.

immediately,

The blind man smiled, stood up, and bowed slightly.

…

Eunuch Huang stopped crying, his tears dried up;

Eunuch Huang stopped shouting, his voice became hoarse;

He began to take off his hat while looking at the two stone lions, to see which one was more pleasing to the eye, maybe it could give him a little tenderness when he was about to die.

Seal the imperial decree and put it aside.

The eunuch's uniform was also taken off, and even the boots were placed beside him.

The guards that Eunuch Huang brought didn't stop him, but Eunuch Huang's attendants were prostrate on the ground one by one, crying heartbreakingly.

As a servant of the Son of Heaven, this is what you deserve and what you should do.

If the imperial decree cannot be delivered, you have no reason to go back alive.

The surrounding people also held their breath at this time, waiting for the next moment;

Eunuch Huang, dressed in white, kowtowed three times towards the west of Yanjing City, and then kowtowed twice towards the palace;

at last,

Eunuch Huang, who had accepted his fate, stepped back a few steps,

A little bit of sesame oil and rape blossoms,

Check the one on the right.

I don't know which unlucky guy will take over from me and hit the left side, hehe.

Eunuch Huang pulled his hair, started to accumulate energy, and then, go!

"Squeak..."

The door of the palace opened.

this moment,

Thanks to Huang Gonggong who had practiced the method of refining Qi, he reacted more sensitively than ordinary people. Immediately, he turned on his toes, and his whole body was in the wrong position. Instead of hitting the stone lion, he fell on the steps with a "plop" , and rolled back again.

The forehead and arms are bruised and broken in several places.

around,

Jinyi's personal guard knelt down,

On the periphery, the people gathered here also knelt down in unison.

Eunuch Huang, who has been a mess, seems to have been beaten with chicken blood at this time,

He crossed his feet but forcibly raised his neck and raised his head;

King Pingxi in black armor walked out of his palace,

On the shoulders of Xuanjia, there are white tassels for decoration, which symbolizes the supremacy and sanctity of kingship;

But in Huang Gonggong's eyes,

The picture that seemed to be dusty a few years ago but has been imprinted in my mind has resurfaced;

It's still the two stone lions, it's still the same steps, it's still the unkind guards who won't kneel in the face of the imperial decree,

It is still the gate of the palace opened at this time,

It was still a man with supreme majesty who came out from inside;

Even the armored white spikes fluttering gently with the wind, in a trance, he saw the flowing white hair of the previous one.

and even,

look up,

The country is still in dire straits,

It is still the hope of the Holy One,

It is still the expectation of the whole country,

For Eunuch Huang at this time, the annual rings are like naughty children. After moving forward a few times, they are turned back to the original point;

Eunuch Huang, who had been through hardships, suffered from illnesses and tortured, and was overwhelmed with grief and joy, fell into a kind of trance,

But he had to be stimulated to complete his duties,

next moment,

He even shouted:

"Prince Jingnan...receive the order!"
