Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

Chapter 107 Whistleblowing

Lieutenant General Zuo Jinwei recently discovered a major event that made people cover their mouths and exclaim.He couldn't believe it at first, but it wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that day that he finally believed that this rather weird and absurd thing was not just a rumor in the palace.

He was very excited to discover the secret, so he searched patiently for a few more days.After looking for a familiar palace attendant to knock on the side for a few times and confirming the ins and outs of the situation, the lieutenant general excitedly went to find his elder brother who was the governor of the left soldier in the military guard mansion.

"Is what you said true?" Bing Weidu stared at his younger brother, with the thick black beard curling up around his mouth, obviously also feeling incredible about it.

The Lieutenant General waved his arms and yelled excitedly, "It's not true! I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Don't be quiet for me!" The elder brother always wanted to be more calm, reprimanded the younger brother for his unsteady behavior, and ordered him to tell the details.

The lieutenant general twitched his eyebrows as thick as a beard, looked funny, and told his brother the inside story in detail with a wink.

The lieutenant general and the military governor are two brothers of the same mother.Ben was just a distant relative of a Beijing official. He first started as a retainer, and later served as a military officer in the palace by virtue of his martial arts.They are people with high abilities, but they are not liked by others because of their birth and appearance.The two brothers have black hair and thick beards, which are extremely inconsistent with the white and elegant that Yu Jingzhong loves so much.His voice is like a bell, and he has a slight accent. Naturally, his colleagues often make jokes about them.

The two brothers were naturally not angry about these things, and tried every means to revive the family's glory.Waiting for that day to be proud, and trample those who laugh at themselves into the mud.

It's a pity that there is no mountain to rely on, and the current position is already the limit.Fortunately, there is an extremely beautiful younger sister in the family of the two.Compared with the daughters of several important ministers' families, it is not much worse.So the two thought about sending their younger sister to the palace. If they could win His Majesty's favor, it would be of great benefit.

The two mustache and black brothers tried their best to plan for their sister to enter the palace, and Huangtian paid off, and finally got this matter done.This glorious moment is just around the corner, and the two brothers are naturally extremely excited.

But what the two of them never expected was that the empress dowager made an order that the female princes who were originally selected for the harem had to wait for the servant to enter the imperial box hall before entering the palace.His thoughts were clearly revealed, but the two brothers could only grit their teeth and wait while they were resentful.However, after waiting for a long time, there was no other order from the palace.The soul of revitalization was lost, and the two brothers were resentful.

At this time, the lieutenant general who was guarding the palace discovered the secret of General Genji's affair with Yuxiadian.Almost instantly, he realized that his opportunity had come.

The two who were able to sit in this position on their own are naturally not impulsive people. If he is not absolutely sure, he will not tell his elder brother about it.

Sure enough, after listening to his younger brother's narrative, Zuo Bingwei Du fell into deep thought.Observing his elder brother's expression, the lieutenant general was secretly happy, knowing that his elder brother wanted to go with him.

"My lord brother, what a great opportunity this is, you must not miss it!"

"Of course I know what you mean, but it still needs to be carefully planned. If you accidentally offend the left and right ministers, it will not do us any good."

Speaking of this lieutenant general, he became angry. He had hated these superiors for a long time, and he gritted his teeth when he thought of the humiliation he had suffered on weekdays.When the two brothers came to Beijing that day, they naturally came with a passion for making contributions.It's a pity that there is no way out, those noble children will mock them when they see their appearance, how can they be willing to talk to them.

From the Lieutenant General's point of view, these dandies are nothing more than having the shadow of their family and have no ability, so they are not worth mentioning at all.Once, the two brothers visited Minister Zuo's house to seek opportunities to play.It's a pity that this old man who loves writing and ink always disliked the rudeness of the two brothers, and sent everyone away before he could say a word.

When the two brothers withdrew angrily, they saw Minister Zuo's eldest son and the famous Mr. Genji looking at them and smiling.The sneering expression on his face was not concealed.From then on, the lieutenant general hated the two of them.He felt that these two people were just playboys with a good skin. If they were not born noble, it would be their turn to laugh at him.

When personal grievances are mixed with obstacles in the future, the lieutenant general will not care whether he will offend the two ministers on the left and right.And this matter can be said to kill two birds with one stone, but it can step on the faces of these two families at the same time.

"Of course I understand what you mean," comforted his agitated younger brother, and the military governor expressed his worries, "but this matter is too speculative, if there is no definite evidence, it will be revealed for nothing..."

Aware of the key, the lieutenant general also calmed down, "What brother said is very true, it is indeed necessary to plan well."

The mustache and black brothers deserved to be people who climbed all the way from the white body, and they finally decided to report the matter to the Palace of the Ministry of War.Both of them are military officers, and they came to visit the Minister of the Ministry of War, Gongben, who were famous for their teachers.Besides, everyone knows that Qing Gong of the Ministry of War is His Majesty's confidant. Tell him such things that hurt His Majesty's face first, to express his loyalty to His Majesty, and can't bear to be deceived today; The three pillars stand together, offering such a good opportunity to attack the opponent, it is the meaning of surrender.

However, Ying Gongxia did not return to the mansion for many days, and the last person to receive the two brothers was the Master Ye Shan.The young and tactful adult cordially received the somewhat disappointed brothers.This made them feel a little comforted, and felt that Ying Gongxia's mansion was really different from those villains who judged people by their appearance.

The two implicitly expressed some rumors they heard in the palace recently, and also expressed their anxiety that they could not bear to be deceived today, but did not dare to spread the secrets.Feeling helpless, he had no choice but to tell the matter to Ying Gongxia, and asked him to rectify this bad atmosphere on his behalf.

Lord Yeshan listened to the two brothers' narration with a sincere expression. When it comes to resentment, we share the same hatred, and when we talk about sorrow, we are heartbroken.This made the two adults with parched mouths feel satisfied that the matter was half-successful, and then they were sent back to the gate of the mansion by Master Ye Shan in a daze.

Since returning to the mansion, the mustache and black brothers waited happily for the wind to rise.Thinking of the embarrassment of Mr. Genji and Minister Zuo since then, I felt a lot of joy in my heart.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and when the news came from the harem that the servant was going back to the mansion for recuperation due to illness, nothing happened.

The Lieutenant General was in a hurry, and hurriedly wrote a letter to Ye Shan.After tossing and turning for several pages, Lord Yeshan finally replied.The letter said that he had informed His Majesty the Minister of War about this matter, and His Highness was extremely indignant.

But this matter is related to the face of the royal family, so it must not be made public easily.His Majesty Yingying Palace has already made some measures, and this time the Shangshi fell ill probably because of these things and was frightened, and he thought that he would not do such absurd things again in the future.

After reading the reply, the Lieutenant General was almost so angry that he vomited blood.Such a good opportunity was so silent, not even a splash was made.How reconciled this is, I suddenly feel that Ying Gong's affairs are too gentle and not enough to make things happen.However, the military guard comforted him and said that His Highness's heart is concerned with the present, and everything should be based on His Majesty, and his reluctance to publicize this matter is naturally due to his considerations.

"Besides, this matter is a bit speculative. Could it be possible to offend the two court elders for your own testimony?" Speaking of this, the military guard sneered twice.

"Could it be that the servants of the Minister of War are just like those people who judge people by their appearance?" This kind of thing has become a heart problem for the lieutenant general, and it almost explodes at the first touch. Anything can be related to it.

"You're thinking wildly again," said the inspector of the military guard. "Haven't you seen the demeanor of the Minister of the Ministry of War in the palace? Let me tell you, he is much better than those weak dudes. Besides, he has never seen me." Wait, how do you judge people by their appearance?"

Obviously, the two brothers admired Ying Gongxia very much.After the lieutenant general calmed down, he reacted belatedly, feeling a little ashamed.But when he thought about what he had planned, he felt very unwilling, so he asked, should he just let go of such a great opportunity and do nothing.

The military governor raised his hand to signal his younger brother not to be impatient, and with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he said viciously: "Hmph, the servant is as cowardly as a mouse, so he went home to recuperate in fright. How could such a great opportunity be missed so easily. Since His Majesty and the right minister are concerned about the face of Ying Palace and the right minister is unwilling to make a statement, then we will pass this matter to the right minister himself. See if he is willing to endure the danger of offending your majesty. If you don't make a sound, let's take the opportunity to teach that apprentice who belittled his daughter..."

The author has something to say: General Mustache Hei was the one who took the jade servant girl later.Yuhuan is the daughter of Lieutenant General Tou (the name here is Shan Xian, the son of Minister Zuo) and Xiyan (killed by six curses when dating Genji).Later became Genji's adopted daughter!Of course, Genji also had a crush on her!Yuhuan said she was very beautiful, and many people liked her.Firefly in the original book also pursued her.Why is he called Ying, because at a banquet, Genji deliberately arranged Ying to be very close to Yuhuan.Then a bunch of fireflies were released, so that the fireflies could see the appearance of Yuhuan clearly, and a heart of love was born from then on.

I have to say that Murasaki Shikibu is very good at portraying, and the picture is really beautiful.Unfortunately, it makes people feel that Genji's mind is very obscene and disgusting (...)

Later, General Mustu Hei raped Yu Huan, and Yingying in the original book left sadly, and finally married General Must Hei's daughter, who was Yu Huan's stepdaughter (...)

The person who found out that Genji and Oborotsuki Ya were dating was the younger brother of General Higuro (…)
