Rebellious Minister Part 1

Outside Jiangxia City, the water surface of the Dijiang River, which stretches as far as the eye can see, is shining golden in the fiery red sun, like a dragon spewing flames, which is very magnificent.

And on the river beach on the north bank stood the elite soldiers of Dayan with rustling military flags and shining swords and guns.They are full of energy, the queue is neat, and the military discipline is strict.Under the cold river wind, only the big banner with the word "Jing" in red on a black background trembled in the wind.

The leading man wears a golden jade crown and black iron armor. He has a handsome face and a tall figure like a pine tree.He was riding on a shiny black horse with only a white spot on the forehead, and he had an extraordinary and mighty demeanor.

Facing the river beach where the red sun was rising, the man narrowed his black eyes that were as sharp as eagles. The golden red light shone in his eyes and enveloped him, forming a red silhouette of man blending with mountains and rivers.

"Report! General!"

Suddenly, a fast brown horse galloped up from the official road, and a young man in military uniform jumped in front of the black horse like an arrow, flew off the horse, and knelt down to report.

"Report to General!" The soldier raised his head and said solemnly, "This subordinate has found out that the emperor and the eunuch Xiao Dezi are indeed in Dihua County, three hundred miles away."

After speaking, he presented something respectfully with both hands.

This is a brocade money bag sewn with gold and silver threads. The front and back are embroidered with patterns of pine, bamboo, plum, and blooming wealth. It can be described as lifelike and ingenious.

It can be seen that it has changed hands several times, and the four North Sea pearls that were originally adorned on the mouth of the bag have disappeared.

The man took the purse, looked at it in a daze, and then suddenly grabbed it in the palm of his hand. The cold expression on his face made people shudder.

"Chuan this general's order," the man's voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to shoot sparks, "The whole army rushed to Dihua County to escort, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Obey!" The soldier clasped his fists and took the order away.

This team of strong horses, stars, flags and electric halberds marched along the Dijiang River to Dihua County at an incredible speed, and the man in the lead took the lead, galloping towards the destination like a whirlwind...

+ + + + +

"Bang! Bang!"

"Crack, crack, crack!"

In broad daylight, gorgeous fireworks and firecrackers are set off at the gate of the mansion of the county magistrate in Dihua County.

Red paper and smoke almost filled the entire street. The county magistrate Jin Fuli is going to marry Mrs. Eight, and I heard that she is a man!

So, at the gate of the golden mansion, which was already noisy with gongs and drums, many folks gathered to watch the excitement. Everyone wanted to see what kind of handsome man Jin Fuli was willing to throw a big banquet and go to marry him in a serious manner.

You must know that except for the wife in the main room, all those concubines are carried in from the side door, or "robbed" in, and they often set off two strings of firecrackers, and they never make a fuss.

There are many onlookers, and there are even more guests.As the bridegroom, Jin Fuli stood at the gate, clasping his hands and smilingly welcoming guests from all over the world. These guests were either rich or expensive, and the head of the Jin family even received the gift list softly.

Every time an order was received, the housekeeper shouted at the top of his throat, "Master Wang of Fuyang County sent a pair of mandarin duck quilts and a pair of centuries-old alloy dolls!"

The big red mandarin duck quilt, which was placed in a red lacquered wooden box with red dates and peanuts sprinkled on it, was carried in by two servants, and someone behind was holding an openwork wooden box. For golden, palm-sized dolls.

When the onlookers saw it, they were all amazed, how much does this thing cost?

Naturally, Jin Fuli was all smiles, and personally received Mr. Wang from Fuyang County. After the two called each other brother and brother, Jin Fuli sent Mr. Wang all the way to the courtyard and ordered his servants to treat him nicely. Then he returned to the door and continued to welcome guests.

The Jin family's mansion was originally big, and since Jin Fuli became an official, the house has tripled in size, and the noise in front of the gate can't reach the backyard at all.

There is a very exquisite small building with green windows and vermilion railings, and heavily embroidered curtains, which looks like a deep palace and pavilion, quiet and elegant.

Obviously, in order to show off, Jinfuli built pavilions, small bridges, and flowing water in accordance with the style of the mansions in the imperial city, and it is heavily guarded. Regardless of the lush moss and blooming branches in the garden, there are hidden guards inside. If you can't get in, if the people inside want to get out, it's hard to fly.

Bang!

The exquisitely carved wooden door was smashed again, the guards may have gotten used to it, but no one moved, and a large pot of hot water was flowing on the blue brick floor...

"Oh, my good young master, today is your big day, you should dress up so that you can see guests!" The voice of an old woman sounded like a brothel madam.

"Presumptuous! I am the emperor! Who dares to touch me?!" Chunyu Aiqing was so angry that her face turned red and then turned white. Just now, the old woman who called herself Aunt Wang brought a basin of hot water and said she wanted to wash him up. , and then came in a lot of maids holding red clothes, saying that they were waiting for him to change clothes and get married.

"Hey, why do you say that you are the emperor again? Then I am still the queen mother!" Aunt Wang shook her gaudy red handkerchief, covered her mouth and smiled, "Didn't Master Jin interrogate you? Living here, and being stimulated, I became incoherent, let me tell you, it's good to be married, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing, don't you?"

The people in the mansion, under Jin Fuli's advice, all thought that this young man became so crazy and dared to call himself the emperor because he had eaten the overlord's meal in Zhenxianglou, was reprimanded by the shopkeeper, and was greatly stimulated.

Although it has been verified that his servant is an eunuch, but did it not say that an eunuch must be an eunuch in the palace?The master went crazy, and the servant also went crazy, who knows what kind of drama the master and servant are singing?

And everyone knows that the emperor is going to hold a concubine ceremony in the near future, how could he come to this far away Dihua County?It is also impossible to think with your toes.

So, now, as long as the people serve their master well, and Master Jin said that they want to marry him, they will try their best to dress up the young master as a bride, and then they will be able to accept errands and receive rewards.

Aunt Wang asked the maids to get another pot of hot water, and she was full of praise, "Look at this auspicious suit, the fabric of Jiangnan is so smooth, it's bright red, what's more, your skin color, Mr. Jin You have spent a lot of money for the son, you have to keep it in mind, and you must serve the master well in the future."

And because Aiqing always used the name of the emperor, everyone simply stopped asking him what his surname was, and called him "Young Master" instead.

"You said it so well, why don't you marry? Besides! How can there be any reason for a man to marry in this world?!"

"That's not enough. Isn't the "Empress Dowager" of the Great Yan Kingdom a man?" Aunt Wang choked Aiqing with one word, making him turn pale.

That's right, he was born to his father's queen Ke Weiqing, but he never felt that there was anything wrong with it. Probably his father and his queen were so loving, like glue, that even his son would blush when he saw it.

However, the feeling of "holding the hand and growing old together" is different. Right now, it is a woman who is forcibly occupying the people, er, no, it is the emperor!

Aiqing couldn't help but snatched the auspicious clothes from Aunt Wang's hand, threw them on the ground, and stomped hard.

"Oh, my lord, how can you spoil things like this! Don't you think that Mr. Jin is not worthy of your beauty? But he is also famously handsome in this Dishan County..." Aunt Wang tried her best to stop her, and tried to persuade him road.

"That's not true! I think he looks like a dog at all!" Aiqing was furious, "Besides, in this world, as long as my father and queen are around, no one can be called a good-looking person!"

"The Emperor and Empress Dowager of the Great Yan Kingdom are famous beauties. Of course, your appearance is also outstanding, my lord. Come, sit down, and I will comb your hair."

"Don't touch me!" Aiqing shouted anxiously, "No one can touch me except him!"

"Who is this 'he'?" Aunt Wang raised her short brows when she smelled something unusual, and said, "If it's your sweetheart, I advise you to forget it, this Mr. Jin is not so kind to his rival in love." Polite."

"A joke! He's always been the only one who is rude to others." Aiqing was about to use the name of "him", but she didn't expect that Aunt Wang's auspicious time was coming, so she called a few guards to come in.

Anyway, it's not a woman, so there's no need to worry about whether a man or a woman will kiss or not.The guards were highly skilled in martial arts, and the four of them went up together, holding hands and legs, and forced him to change into the bright red auspicious clothes, combed his hair, and put on a jade crown.

"Look, you are really a beauty that people hold dear. If you want me to say, you are more beautiful than that queen mother."

"Hmm..." After changing his clothes, in order to prevent him from making trouble in front of the guests, Aunt Wang asked the guards to tie Aiqing tightly to a grand chair, with a hipa stuffed in her mouth.

Has anyone ever gotten married like this?Aiqing's eyes are full of resentment!

"Okay, everyone is tired, let's go down and ask for a glass of wedding wine, my son, after a while, someone will naturally carry it out." Aunt Wang let the maids guard them, and they all retreated from the wing room. She finished the task by herself and went to receive the reward.

Sweat broke out on Aiqing's forehead. Was he cursed by "marriage"?In the palace, the minister forced him to marry an unknown woman as his concubine, and outside the palace, he would be snatched by a lustful man to be his concubine?

This is really a big joke!But no matter what, people couldn't laugh, Aiqing was full of resentment, and for the first time in her life, she was so angry that she wanted to kill someone!

Because in the final analysis, it was "that person"'s fault that he fell into such a situation!

If the other party didn't forget the old love and forced him to get married, how could he go out of the palace and suffer this crime?It's fake to travel in the mountains and rivers along the way, but it's true to be worried!

Because I don't know what kind of mess I will face after returning to the palace?

I have to admit that when the corners of that person's eyes were raised, it was indeed quite scary...

Although "his" has long been known in the palace for his "coldness" and "rejection from others", those ministers and eunuchs are a hundred times more polite when they see him than when they see themselves.

...Who is the emperor?Occasionally, Aiqing complains like this.

But the same cold face is very popular among court ladies. Whenever he returns triumphantly, the palace's monthly ration of rouge and gouache will be exhausted.Ai Qing thinks that she doesn't really care who the maids are dressing up for, but when she sees that person and the maids passing by in the corridor, those maids can't even walk, and they are all fascinated by him. Ai Qing felt really uncomfortable at all!

Therefore, he also took revenge for this, made things difficult for the other party, deliberately refused to accept his audience, and made him kneel outside the hall and wait. Although the stalemate ended in the end, that person always won...

"Jing Tingrui..." Her heart couldn't help but write that person's name, and Ai Qing found that she was still thinking about him rather spinelessly at such a time.

And from the resentment at the beginning, it has now become very simple yearning.

"Anyway, I can only kill the traitor today!" Now thinking about Hussar General is useless, after all, the two are far apart, Ai Qing thought, he will save himself, although he has never killed anyone ...

+ + + + +

There is only one door between the Dishan county government office and Jin Fuli's mansion.

It wasn't like this at first, but after Jin Fuli bought the official, he occupied a large area of ​​private houses, added more mansions, and built high walls, so he regarded the county government as his own.

And today is Jin Fuli's big day, so naturally there is no trial in the yamen, only two yamen servants who have drunk their wedding wine and hold water and fire sticks are sitting under the eaves and snoring.

So when General Hussar's army surrounded the county yamen with thunderous momentum, the yamen servants were still dreaming of Duke Zhou.

Ergou, a clerk in Zhenxianglou, was thrown by a young lieutenant under Jing Tingrui's collar on the steps in front of the gate of the county government office. The vermilion gate of Yamen.

He also yelled like a pig, "My lord! My lord! Quick, open the door!"

But the two yamen servants were so sound asleep that they couldn't hear anything, and Ergou's master, the shopkeeper of Zhenxianglou, was enjoying the singing and dancing at the wedding banquet with Jin Fuli at the moment, how could he hear ghosts crying and howling wolves outside the high wall.

Ergou had no choice but to kneel on the ground, looking pitifully at the young lieutenant general, "This, no one here..."

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, as if even the dust on the ground shook the three-shock drumming, Er Gou couldn't help but shiver, covered his ears subconsciously, and looked back.I saw that tall, tall, burly general of hussars raising his hammer to beat the drum of grievances hanging under the beam.

According to the law of Dayan, if the people have grievances, they can beat the drum with hammers. When the big drum sounds, the officials must go to court!

Although there are a few people beating drums in Dishan County to protest grievances, but the sound of the drums is so thick and powerful, as if it can penetrate thousands of high walls, his ears are almost deafened!

The thunderous sound of the drum naturally woke up the drunken yamen servants, and one of them ran to open the door cursing, "Who's dead! Come to beat the drums on a good day?!"

The gate of the government office was only opened a crack, and someone fell in. It was the second dog who was out of his mind.

"Why is it you?" The drunken yamen servant was stunned, then the door was slammed open, and a very handsome man strode in with a golden tiger talisman token.

"—?!"

The yamen servant was afraid that he had fallen asleep, so he rubbed his eyes, and then took a closer look at the golden general's order. The blood on his face immediately faded away, and he knelt down in front of the majestic man!

"Small, small welcome to the general!" The two yamen servants crawled under the tall figure like a stone tablet and couldn't help shaking, "Small, small, yes, yes..."

"Where is the magistrate?" The man's voice rolled over their heads like thunder, causing their teeth to chatter uncontrollably. They could only raise their heads, pointing tremblingly at the vermilion courtyard gate next to the yamen lobby.

This gate leads directly to the back garden of the Jin family's mansion. Once Mr. Jin finishes his official business, he can go back home. Naturally, the gold and silver treasures given by others can be carried back to the mansion directly, without the need to go through the streets and alleys. People are jealous.

The man looked at the gate that was obviously added, that is to say, after talking about this gate, it would no longer be an important place in the Dayan Mansion, and he would no longer need to act according to the law.

The yamen servants didn't dare to raise their heads when their foreheads touched the ground. The man walked over and kicked the door shut!

The courtyard door with the heavy latch at the back shattered open and flew out, and the two doors slammed into the screen wall engraved with the words "Da Fu Da Gui", making a loud noise.

The maids and servants who came and went here were all dumbfounded, no one dared to smash the door of the Jin family!So, crying and crying, running away, the winter jasmine and peonies in the courtyard were trampled to pieces, making a mess.

The guards of the Jin Mansion naturally wanted to go out to find out what happened, but they bumped into the elite soldiers who entered the mansion.

The abnormal noise in the backyard finally alarmed Jin Fuli, who was about to pay homage to the "Eight Madam".

It's really weird to say that it's worship. The bride was tied up in a chair by a red rope, and she couldn't move at all. A huge red silk hijab was covering her head. He was carried by the guards to salute.

Aunt Wang hadn't finished shouting "Pray to heaven and earth", when a guard covered in blood fell in, scaring the guests away.

"What happened?! Come on!" Jin Fuli remained calm, and immediately called for more guards.

The guards who were guarding the grand teacher's chair from left to right also drew their swords and surrounded Jin Fuli.

At this time, Aiqing was trying to push out the gag Xipa with his tongue, the red hijab was heavy and big, he couldn't see what was going on outside?I only know that someone called in, who could it be?Considering Jin Fuli usually bullies the people, it must be a matter of course to recruit people to crusade.

But why is the sound of ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, pong pong... getting smaller and smaller?

These people shouldn't be gone yet, right?Aiqing wanted to take advantage of the chaos and escape, and then go to find Xiao Dezi who was locked in the Yamen prison, and then return to the palace quickly, he must send this cowardly dog ​​official down!

Aiqing tiptoed to the ground, exerted all her strength, and moved the chair to a place where there were few people nearby. The sword had no eyes, and it would not be good if it fell on him.

However, he struggled to move up and down, the chair didn't move a few steps, but most of the red scarf on his head slid off, and he exposed one eye, squinted slightly, but was stunned by the scene in front of him.

It turned out to be the elite soldiers of Dayan!

Those soldiers with sharp knives and armored clothes stood around the garden, corridors, and steps, and there was a smell of blood in the air.

Looking at the lotus pond, there were many corpses floating or lying down. The guests were already frightened, and they all huddled beside the crooked tables and chairs, guarded by soldiers with knives.

And in front of the broken cups and plates scattered all over the floor, there is a majestic and heroic man. I can see that his right hand is firmly holding a long sword that shines brightly, and the sharp point of the sword directly touches Jin Fuli. on the throat.

Jin Fuli's whole body was stiff, he was too frightened to speak, for fear that if he swallowed his saliva, his throat would be pierced by the point of the sword, he just stared at the man desperately, his eyes full of begging for life.

Aiqing also looked at the man, as if she felt that she was dreaming, and couldn't help but gasp—"Jing Tingrui?!"

However, he still had a Xipa stuffed in his mouth, so he couldn't make a sound, he could only yell in his heart the scream of astonishment.

The sharp sword in Jing Tingrui's hand was slowly pressed down, and a strand of blood stained Jin Fuli's silk collar. At this moment, Jin Fuli couldn't control his face anymore, and plopped on his knees begging for mercy, wailing repeatedly, "Hero Spare me! Hero, spare my life!!" It's just that he still has a puzzled look on his face, and he doesn't understand what happened at all?

"Forgive me? You don't need to kowtow to me. The court ordered officials to commit crimes, so naturally they have to be handed over to the emperor." Jing Tingrui said coldly, and the lieutenant at the side immediately twisted Jin Fuli's arm and tied him up.

Only then did Jing Tingrui look up at the "bride" who was still tightly tied up, dressed in a bright red auspicious suit, with a brocade handkerchief in her mouth.

When Aiqing was stared at by his black eyes, she suddenly panicked, and a very bad feeling made him feel like a light!

"Chen Jing Tingrui—greetings to the emperor! Long live, long live, long live."

really!Jing Tingrui completely ignored his embarrassment at the moment, and did not let him loose, so he bowed down first!

Immediately, there was a sound of sucking, and Aunt Wang covered her face and screamed, "Oh my God! He is really the emperor!" and passed out.

The shopkeeper of Zhenxianglou looked so distraught, as if he had forgotten how to breathe, his face was bruised, and he knelt on the ground for a long time, kowtowing, "Your Majesty, forgive me! The little one has eyes but no eyes! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Aiqing thought to herself, I didn't intend to let you die, but he couldn't say it.

Jing Tingrui gave him a wink, and the soldiers escorted the shopkeeper down.

The big and small officials, gentry and wealthy businessmen who came here to participate in the banquet, all of them couldn't escape their ties, and they all lay down on the ground trembling with fright, their faces white as paper.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude." Jing Tingrui said, pulling out a fine steel dagger from his waist, and walked straight towards the immobile Aiqing.

"Uh, what do you want to do?! Don't mess around!" Cold sweat ran down Aiqing's back. He knew he shouldn't leave the palace in private, but he wouldn't want to be stabbed, right?

Just when Aiqing was so nervous that she was thinking wildly, she saw a flash of light in her eyes!The ropes on his hands and feet were disconnected, and Jing Tingrui put away the dagger.

Once free again, Aiqing quickly pulled out the Xipa stuffed in his mouth, and licked his dry lips, his tongue was numb!

When Aiqing got up from the grand teacher's chair, shook her hands in relief, patted her knees, and twisted her waist to move her muscles and bones, Jing Tingrui clasped her fists and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the late general's escort has surprised you."

"We deserve to die for our crimes!" And those soldiers all knelt down and bowed their heads in unison to confess their sins.

"It's nothing, General Jing, you came at the right time! It's your meritorious service!" For some reason, Aiqing couldn't look directly at Jing Tingrui's extremely handsome but also extremely cold face, and laughed, "See? I'm not hurt, so it's fine, you all step back."

Although he said so, all the people knelt still, obviously waiting for General Jing to give orders.

Ai Qing's face is a bit embarrassing, who let Jing Tingrui hold the Golden Tiger Talisman for dispatching troops, he, the emperor, can only stare blankly.

But now that there are so many people around, Ai Qing relaxes a lot, at least Jing Tingrui won't grab him and lecture him in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty." Jing Tingrui whispered.

"Huh?" Aiqing finally looked at him.

"Are you tired? The general will help you to rest in the back room, rest for a while, and then drive back to the palace." Jing Tingrui approached Aiqing, not caring about the rules that courtiers can't look directly at the emperor, just staring at his face .

"Where, I'm good...?!" Very good!Aiqing originally wanted to say this, so when Jing Tingrui grabbed his waist, pulled him into his arms, and just held his face and kissed him down, Aiqing's whole body became stiff and petrified. up!

The long-lost tongue leaf opened her teeth with a force that could not be refused, and swept in. Ai Qing couldn't help whining in her heart, "He is really angry!"

"No... wait... um!" Now is not the time to think about whether he will be angry or not?Ai Qing's eyes were wide open, and the corners of her eyes were uneasily looking to the side, those people are still there!

This is more miserable than reprimanding him in public, right? !

Although everyone except Jing Tingrui knelt on the ground neatly, without raising their heads, not daring to look at the emperor's face, Aiqing still grabbed Jing Tingrui's arm in a panic, trying to push him away .

However, as if punishing his resistance, Jing Tingrui gnawed his lips roughly and sucked his tongue, the painful feeling rushed to his head along with a familiar sense of pleasure.Aiqing struggled in Jing Tingrui's arms, but in the end, he couldn't even get a breath of fresh air, a layer of black mist floated in front of his eyes, and he couldn't stand still, Jing Tingrui finally let go of his lips , but quickly bent down and picked him up horizontally.

Although Ai Qing wanted to say "Boldly, let me down!" but his cheeks were flushed, his mouth was open, and he could only breathe heavily.

"Retreat outside the courtyard." With a simple order from Jing Tingrui, the soldiers who had been kneeling all the time got up in unison, escorted the banquet guests, and retreated outside.

Then, Jing Tingrui hugged the embarrassing and annoyed emperor, and strode into a side room inside.
