Ming Jing Tai

Just after dawn, a team of about 200 people came from outside the capital.After seeing the badge of the visitor, the gatekeeper did not show any respect because of the identity of the visitor, but said in a businesslike manner: "According to the rules, my lord, your troops can only be stationed three miles away from the capital."

"you!"

One person got angry, and the leader raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Take your brothers and find a place to camp, and I will go back alone."

"My lord, let me go back with you."

"Myself."

Pressing the opponent's shoulder hard, Huo Feng nodded slightly to his subordinates and got on the horse.The city gate opened, and Huo Feng entered Beijing alone.

As Emperor Jiazheng's only younger brother, Huo Feng, the great general of the Southern Chu Kingdom, he had to be more careful under the severe situation of the dynasty.Even though he was a great general with 70 troops in the Southern Chu Kingdom, he could only swallow his anger when his wife and children were trapped in the capital.Originally, Huo Feng tried his best to avoid returning to Beijing, but his concubine gave birth to Lin'er for him last month, and the emperor ordered him to return to Beijing to report on his duties.If he doesn't come back, he is defiant and disrespectful, and he and his subordinates' wives, children, young and old cannot escape the relationship, and he really misses his wife and children a little bit.Just coming back is full of dangers.

"Old Huang, I'm really worried that the prince will go back alone, it's a land of tigers and wolves." Xu Baicai, a subordinate who followed Huo Feng back to Beijing, said worriedly.

Huang Han looked at the figure of the prince, and said worryingly, "I'm worried too. But when we get here, we have to be very careful in what we say and do. There are their people everywhere here. We must not cause any trouble for the prince or leave any trouble. Let's go, find a place to set up camp."

"Ah."

The two got on their horses and took two hundred soldiers to find a place to camp three miles away.

The great eunuch Zhang Zhong sat in the yard feeding the birds on the ground.One person bowed and approached him, and whispered in his ear: "Master Dugong, Huo Feng is back."

Zhang Zhong paused, and then sprinkled all the rice grains in his hand on the ground.The man beckoned immediately, and a little eunuch immediately brought hot tea.Zhang Zhong wiped his hands first, then took the teacup, drank a couple of sips, and then asked slowly, "How many people did he bring back?"

"About 200 people. We were blocked outside the capital, and he was the only one entering the capital. He is now on his way into the palace."

Zhang Zhong handed out the tea bowl, and the man immediately took it.Zhang Zhong stood up, and still said slowly: "King Yue just came back, we have to show him some face. I'm going to visit the emperor now. What about heavy people?"

The man pursed his lips, "I was called away by the imperial concubine."

"Then when he comes back, you let him come to see me."

"Yes."

On a July day, knowing that the noise was disturbing, Zhang Zhong yawned and led a few of his subordinates to the residence of Emperor Jiazheng Huo Wenlong.When he came to the door of the bedroom, Zhang Zhong heard some kind of faint cry coming from inside.He raised his sleeve to cover his mouth, hiding the satisfaction at the corner of his mouth.The eunuch guarding the gate opened the door of the bedroom, Zhang Zhong walked in alone, and shouted in a shrill voice outside: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask for an audience."

The lewd noises in the room stopped, and a lazy male voice came out from the room: "I have important things to do right now."

"Your Majesty, King Yue has returned to Beijing."

"He returned to Beijing? So soon!"

There was a rustle in the house.After a while, Emperor Jiazheng came out in a dragon robe, but his hair was a little disheveled, the dragon robe was a little more casual, and he still smelled of joyful love.

Emperor Jiazheng's physique could be considered burly, but due to years of indulging in sex and entertainment, the corners of his eyes and mouth drooped, revealing a weakness that shouldn't be seen at his age.

Zhang Zhong personally poured tea for the emperor, and said respectfully: "The king of Yue returned to Beijing to report on his duties. I don't know if the emperor can see you today?"

Emperor Jiazheng looked at the tea in his cup hesitantly, and finally asked: "Has his crime been confirmed?"

"Everything is implemented, and we will wait for the emperor to send it down."

Emperor Jiazheng waved his hand irritably: "Since it has been implemented, we can do whatever we want. But we still have to 'ask' clearly, he is my real brother no matter what, I can't let people say that my six relatives don't recognize me, and I am cold-blooded and heartless."

"Yes--"

"go Go."

Zhang Zhong bowed and stepped back, with a flash of joy in his eyes that a big event was about to happen.

Zhang Zhong left, and Emperor Jiazheng sat on the throne, frowning.For this younger brother, he still has a bit of brotherhood.But this younger brother has a heavy army in his hand, and Zhang Zhong found out that he intends to rebel, so he cannot be spared.No matter how important brotherhood is, it cannot compare with Jiangshan.

"Your Majesty, why haven't you come yet? I can't wait."

The heaviness on Emperor Jiazheng's face immediately turned into lewdness, he put down the teacup, got up and walked quickly into the bedroom.On the big bed, a sexy and voluptuous beautiful woman lay half naked on it, with long hair flowing down, she was extremely charming.

"My concubine, I'm here." Throwing to the bed, Emperor Jiazheng couldn't wait to take off his dragon robe, his body trembled, and he pressed down on it.

"The emperor...hehehe..."

The daughter of a moment in the spring night.In front of beauties, not to mention brotherhood, even the country and society are not important.

■

Emperor Jiazheng loved beauty, but among the three thousand beauties and six thousand beauties in the palace, only Concubine Ru gave birth to his son.This child naturally became a prince.Although Concubine Ru is only a noble concubine, but the mother is expensive because of her son, coupled with the extraordinary power of her mother's family, she is already the mistress of the harem, and even the empress must be courteous when she sees her.

At this time, Imperial Concubine Ru was half lying on her imperial concubine chair, and one person was fanning her.Concubine Ru half-closed her eyes, she looked very comfortable, but she was not very happy when she spoke.

"The seductive woman that Zhang Zhong found for the emperor is very good at serving people. The emperor stays in the palace every day because of her, and he doesn't even go to court. It's really 'from now on, the king will not go to court early'."

The man didn't make a sound, and the fan movement stopped.

Concubine Ru opened her eyes, although there were some traces of age in the corners of her eyes, it was hard to hide her once peerless magnificence, no wonder she had been favored by the emperor for many years, but Concubine Ru was a little unhappy in recent months.

"Chongren, I don't mean to blame you. I have always known your sincerity. It's just that Zhang Zhong is too unkind."

The man spoke in a cold and clear voice: "The Dugong has his own intentions for doing this. She is just a woman with big breasts and no brains. Why does the empress need to be as knowledgeable as her? No matter how favored she is, she will not be able to give birth to a prince." Come on. After a while, the emperor will get tired of it."

Concubine Ru smiled: "That's true. It's still Zhongren who thinks clearly." She sat up, touched Yi Zhongren's face lovingly, and sighed: "In this palace, you are the only one who understands this palace's heart." .You are the Xie Yuhua of this palace, the nobleman of this palace. If it weren't for you, the prince would have already..."

"Your Majesty, don't mention the past again. The prince is rich and blessed. He just accidentally fell into the water that time, and the servant happened to meet him. Without the servant, there will be others. Some things, if you talk too much, they will come true. Your Majesty should pray for His Highness's safety every day."

"Ah, look at the mouth of this palace. The prince wants to be safe and healthy every day. I respect people, and I can't do without you more and more." Concubine Ru leaned on Yi Zhongren's shoulder, extremely intimate.

Yi Zhongren's face showed no joy or fear of being favored by the imperial concubine or empress, but was as icy and cold as his voice, coupled with his makeup, it was even more frightening to watch.

Yi Zhongren raised his hand, rubbed his thumb against the red lips of the imperial concubine, and said: "Your Majesty, this slave should go."

"Can't you stay with me for a while?" Concubine Ru retreated.

"Come and accompany the empress when the servant is done." Yi Zhongren said coldly provocative words, and Concubine Ru immediately smiled like a flower, and waved: "Go, go."

Yi Zhongren got up, bowed and retreated.After he left, Concubine Ru touched her red lips that had just been touched by the other party, her eyes filled with regret, such a beautiful man, why is he an eunuch.

■

Concubine Ru's preference for Yi Zhongren was known to everyone in the palace, even Emperor Jiazheng knew about it.However, Yi Zhongren is an eunuch, no matter how partial he is to him, he can't do anything to Concubine Ru, so Emperor Jiazheng just turned a blind eye, otherwise, with Concubine Ru's jealous nature, she wouldn't do it for the women around him every day. Arguing with him is restrained by Yizhong people, the boss doesn't talk about the second child, as long as both sides don't go too far, everything will be calm.

Coming out of the imperial concubine's bedroom, Yi Zhongren just walked a few steps when someone stopped him, bowed and said: "Lord Qianhu, Lord Du has something important to see you."

"En." Responding lightly, Yi Zhongren walked towards the direction of leaving the palace.This is the harem, so you can't sit in a sedan chair, and two people followed behind him carrying a soft sedan chair.

The eunuchs in the Fengqi Palace in Southern Chu State all have to put on makeup, although Zhang Zhong has achieved the number one eunuch position, the first thing he does after getting up and washing up every day is nothing else, but to apply powder and paint his eyebrows.It is said that the founding emperor liked this set very much, and then the custom of eunuch makeup continued.Some eunuchs have a pleasing appearance, and they look good with powder and eyebrows, while some eunuchs are simply monsters, such as Zhang Zhong and his like.And Yi Zhongren can be regarded as the most beautiful eunuch in the palace, but the makeup on his face made him look a bit more cannibalistic.

With deep red eyelids, ghostly pale face, and deep purple lips, coupled with his unfathomable kung fu and cruel methods, Emperor Jiazheng, who originally wanted him to sleep with him, was all overwhelmed by his face. The ten-thousand-year-old ice-like air-conditioning was so froze that I lost my mind.It has been 15 years since Yizhong entered the palace at the age of ten.In the past 15 years, he has sat from the lowest eunuch to the second eunuch. His means and scheming can be seen. In addition, he is the savior of the prince, the guest of the imperial concubine Ru, and the master of thousands of households of the imperial guards. , Zhang Zhong's heartfelt subordinate, his influence in the palace can be said to be at its peak.Everyone believed that the first eunuch after Zhang Zhong was Yi Zhongren.

After leaving the harem, Yi Zhongren got into the sedan chair.Leaning in the sedan chair, closing his eyes and meditating, he turned the emerald ring on his right index finger.Ears moved slightly, Yi Zhongren opened his eyes, opened the car curtain, and someone came in front of him.There was a flash of light in his eyes, and he said, "Stop."

"stop--"

The entourage gave the order, and the sedan stopped.Immediately, someone opened the sedan chair curtain for Yi Zhongren. Yi Zhongren sat in the sedan chair and did not intend to come out. He looked at the group of people gradually walking in front of him, or he was "escorted" by a group of people.

The man pursed his lips after the Yizhong man's sedan chair stopped, his eyes were filled with suppressed disgust.If he had known that he would meet this person, he should have entered the palace later.But you can't just turn a blind eye, especially when the other party is obviously waiting for him.For the people of Yuqinwei and Huanwei, Huo Feng wished that they would all be struck to death by lightning.

Swallowing his breath, Huo Feng, the majestic king of Southern Chu, walked up to Yi Zhongren, clasped his fists and saluted: "Eunuch Yi."

"My lord." The Yi Zhongren yelled disrespectfully before getting out of the sedan chair.He looked at the other party coldly, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "The slave heard that the side concubine gave birth to Lin'er for the prince last month, and the slave is here to congratulate the prince. The prince returned to Beijing so soon, it seems that there is everything to do with a child." enough."

These words were extremely harsh, Huo Feng said with a sullen face: "This king is returning to Beijing to report on his duties, and he happens to be reunited with his wife and children. Mr. Yi is busy every day, so this king will not disturb you."

"My lord finally went back to Beijing, I'm not busy." Yi Zhongren unexpectedly did not intend to let Huo Feng go.It's not that the two have never met before. Before Yi Zhongren gained power, he respected Huo Feng a little. After gaining power, he always treated Huo Feng with such a mocking attitude.Huo Feng already hated these eunuchs, let alone people like Yi Zhongren who had so much blood of loyal ministers on their hands, he wished to get rid of them as soon as possible.He will never forget that the former prime minister Zhang Deyuan's family died tragically at the hands of this man.

Raising his hand, so that the left and right sides backed down, Yi Zhongren's cold eyes fell on Huo Feng's general's face, and his purple lips parted lightly: "My lord, do you still remember what happened in the palace five years ago?"

"Forgive me for my bad memory." Huo Feng sneered in his heart.

There was a ball of anger in Yi Zhongren's eyes, and he suppressed it instantly.

"The prince has a bad memory, but the slave will never forget. Do you want the slave to remind the prince?"

"Since I don't remember it, why should I mention it again?"

The two were back and forth, and Yi Zhongren suddenly raised his hand and flicked Huo Feng's shoulder, as if flicking some dust on him.Huo Feng immediately took a step back with a menacing face, as if he was touched by something dirty.

"My lord, have a good journey."

Still didn't say what happened five years ago, the people from Yizhong gave Huo Feng four words, and sat back in the sedan chair.

"Get up the car—"

The car curtain was lowered, and Yi Zhongren's monster-like face was covered by the curtain in front of Huo Feng, but Huo Feng couldn't help but frowned in his heart, what kind of eyes did Yi Zhongren just have?And why did the other party suddenly mention what happened five years ago?And what does the phrase "go all the way" mean?Huo Feng's eyelids twitched a few times before turning around.

In the sedan chair, Yi Zhongren's face faded from the ridicule when he faced Huo Feng just now.Outside the sedan chair, Huo Feng watched Yi Zhongren's sedan chair drift away.Five years ago, he couldn't help satirizing Yi Zhongren as a demon and eunuch in the imperial garden. Yi Zhongren said to him at that time: "My lord, be careful if you walk too much at night and get entangled by demons." Since then After that, he and Yi Zhongren completely tore apart their faces.Afterwards, he also regretted his indiscriminate words very much. Although he has 70 soldiers and horses, facing the situation surrounded by tigers and wolves, all he can do is endure.Offending the Yizhong people is tantamount to offending Shanghai Anwei.He was ready to be troubled by the Yizhong people, and the Yizhong people did nothing after taking over.But three months later, the prime minister Zhang Deyuan was charged with unwarranted charges, and the whole family was beheaded and exiled.Both Prime Minister Zhang and his son died at the hands of Yi Zhongren.

Huo Feng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.five years ago.In addition to his feud with the Yizhong people, there was also the tragic death of Prime Minister Zhang!

"My lord, go all the way..."

Huo Feng's body broke out in cold sweat instantly.

"My lord?" the palace guard who escorted Huo Feng into the palace said.

Huo Feng said calmly, "Let's go."

Five years ago... all the way... Huo Feng resisted the desire to look back.Yi Zhongren, what do you mean by your words?
