Brother Donggong

Feng Xiaosheng thinks that at this time, eggs are the best thing.

It is easy to carry, and you can eat it as soon as you open the shell.

She must have read my dad's records.

40 years ago, a six-year-old boy, my father, was placed on the throne in a muddy court with the eunuch Wang Gonggong inside and the regent outside.

From the funeral to the enthronement ceremony, it took a total of one month. My imperial grandmother was very afraid that someone would harm my father, so she resolutely refused to let him touch anything from the imperial dining room, not even a single scum. She just boiled eggs for him to eat .

I ate three meals a day, three eggs each, and my father almost choked to death.

My father survived alive and kicking, but for the rest of his life he vomited whenever he saw eggs.

Feng Xiaosheng didn't care about these, she said that eggs can save lives, so she put all the boiled eggs in a cloth bag and gave them to Xie Meng who went with me.

Xie Meng was very careful, he carefully put the egg bag into his sleeve pocket.Xie Meng led twenty guards to follow behind me, and marched towards Da Nei together.

I take a sedan chair, Xie Meng and Cucumber ride horses,

We got off the sedan chair and horse outside Lixuan Gate, and then I folded my arms and rolled up my sleeves and climbed in through the three-foot-two high threshold of Lixuan Gate.

Inside the threshold is a courtyard of tens of feet, and behind it is a deep palace with many mountains: ——Taizheng Palace.

"Ah! Look, my lord!—"

Cucumber suddenly came out from behind Xie Meng, with his mouth open enough to swallow a potato, he screamed and pointed at the white marble steps of Lixuan Gate, the vast stone brick floor and the main gate in the distance.

"There are men!! Many, many men!!"

I was angry, "What is it called!! Damn idiot, have you never seen a man in your life?!"

I stretched out my foot and kicked the cucumber aside.

There are many people outside the gate of Dazheng Palace, all of them are civil servants from Yongjing.

I took a look and found that their court clothes are colorful, but there is no purple robe.

That is to say, except for the first-rank and second-rank officials, other officials such as the Beijing officials of Yongjing, the magistrates of Yongjing, and the magistrates sent back to Beijing to report on their duties, there are no real shortages, idle ones, and spending money to buy fame It seems that all those who could come, and those who couldn't come, also came.

I said in amazement, "Usually there is not such a complete collection of New Year's money for the New Year. What's wrong? The sky has collapsed, the earth has collapsed? Dazheng Palace issued free white flour buns? Why are there so many people kneeling outside the main gate?" ? The road is blocked, and no one can get in."

In the center of this large group of people, there are some neatly kneeling fifth-rank and sixth-rank officials. There are about seven or eighty people.

Say anything.

"Mr. Qing's side."

"Kill the traitor."

"Kill corrupt officials."

"Expell Wang Chengyi from the capital."

……

The most horrifying of them is "The prince please ascend the throne immediately!"

"Ah?" I looked at the main gate blocked by them, shook my head and said, "I don't think their posture looks like they are here to ask Prince Wen Zhan to ascend the throne, but they seem to come to the main gate to tear down the tiles!"

No matter whether my father was poisoned or he was a guest of the dragon, he was very strange. There was no explicit decree, no clear document from the cabinet, and no approval from the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Anything could happen in the palace.

for example:--

My father may really be dead, or he may not be dead. If he is not dead, the throne is still his.

Wen Zhan ascended the throne.

Yu Lan ascended the throne.

Wen Zhan and Yu Lan are fighting each other, and they kicked their legs, so my seventh brother, Yue Zheng, will ascend the throne.

Yuezheng was killed by the harem, and finally I ascended the throne.

Look, Wen Zhan's accession to the throne is not the only result.

Respectfully inviting Wen Zhan to the throne is not necessarily a good thing.

People who try their best to get the last thing is not necessarily a good thing are not smart people.Smart people sleep at home.

It is not allowed to gather people casually outside the main gate, and it is not allowed to kneel casually, and it is not allowed to hold a memorial to pretend to be a loyal minister.

These are all great sins.

The last time more than 300 officials gathered here was 30 years ago. I haven’t been born yet, so I don’t know anything. Li Fang, the eunuch next to my father, told me this.

By the way, my father has a mother.

Of course, people are born by their mothers, and every person has a mother.But the mother I'm talking about is not my imperial grandmother, but my father's biological mother.My father's mother was strangled to death by my grandfather himself, and she was also given a nickname - the enchantress of disaster.

According to the ancestral family law, the spirit card of this enchantress is not allowed to be placed in the ancestral temple.

But my father is a dutiful son.

Of course, me too.

So my father insisted on putting this tablet in the ancestral temple.

As a result, the civil servants of the imperial court were blown up.

At that time, Xia Xuan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, personally brought more than 300 civil servants and knelt outside the Dazheng Palace, forcing my father to withdraw his order, but my father refused.So they started crying and howling, and when my father got angry and the fire started, he called the guards, and the gangsters (whips, sticks, sticks) beat them up and scattered them.

In the next 30 years, no one came here to express their loyalty.

I took two steps back, "They are all blocked like this, we can't get in, otherwise, Xie Meng, you wait here, and you can come to the palace to find me when they disperse or there are other orders in the palace. I'm dizzy now, go back first..."

Xie Meng stood in front of me, "Your Highness, you can't leave. The crown prince has ordered you to go to Weiyin Palace at three quarters you."

The prince ordered!

It's the prince's order again!

Since the day before yesterday, he has been ordering this and that, and has tormented me a lot.

Enemy, really enemy.

From childhood to adulthood, he only torments me and scares me.

Now it's even worse.

I have to figure out a way to hide.

I looked at the sky, it was already dark, and the Imperial Forest Army stood densely with torches in their hands, surrounding the officials in the center.We are not close to them, they cannot see us.

I rubbed my hands and said to Xie Meng, "The prince said it lightly. A group of people blocked the main gate, holding a memorial to invite him to become the throne. He hid himself in the palace and couldn't come out. These people won't leave. How can we get in?"

Xie Meng didn't have my troubles at all. He looked at the place where people gathered and said in a deep voice, "Let's go in."

"Aha! Xie Meng, you really know how to tell jokes. This place is so blocked that there is no place to plug in. How do you get there?"

"Your Majesty, I'll let them arrest people first! If they are arrested and taken away, there will be room for us to enter. Then, what should be attended, what should be dealt with, it is wrong to block the main entrance of the Dazheng Palace. "

I'm dizzy.

Xie Meng has been with the crown prince for less than two days, how did he learn Wen Zhan's stupid domineering?

I said, "Who are you arresting so many people? Those are all officials in Yongjing City, not ordinary people who set up street stalls in the south of the city! Xie Meng, you didn't follow the order, and secondly, you didn't have the documents from the Supervisor of Ceremonies. You arrested them for your official position." Not anymore."

Xie Meng: "Then I'll go back to West City to sell fish!"

Then he gripped the saber with his fingers, and roared: "—Come here!"

Before the guards around Xie Meng could react, a voice that sounded like catkins in March in Yongjing floated over, "It's so noisy. If you keep making noise, I will castrate you."

I was so frightened that cold sweat slowly rolled down my spine.

Xie Meng froze on the spot.

This snake-like voice belonged to only one person——Chu Qiangsheng, the imperial censor of the left capital of the world!

There was a puff, the sound of the sedan chair landing.

Even a dignified prince like me had to get out of the sedan chair outside the Lixuan Gate, and then climb into the half-person-high threshold by himself, but there is someone who can walk around in the Forbidden Garden with four people on shoulders.

It was that Chu crow!

This world is always so lonely like snow~~~~~~~~~

I turned around quickly, and saw a four-person chair was gently placed on the ground, and a handsome young man had already come over and stretched out his hand, and helped the person who was leaning on the chair to get off.Beside him, there was another servant holding a wooden tray with both hands. Inside was a set of brilliant first-grade purple robes and a black gauze top, with forks like swallow wings trembling slightly.

The man got off the chair, his legs were a little unsteady, and he smelled like alcohol. He could tell at a glance that he had been dragged from the Flower Street and Willow Lane in the south of the city.

Chu Wuya said lightly, "Pray Your Highness, I haven't seen you in three days, are you okay?"

Tsk~~~~~~~

My back molars were soured by him again.

This President Chu probably just got up from the girl's body and hadn't had time to change his clothes. He was dressed in cloth and hemp shoes, with disheveled hair and slack eyes. He looked like a Wei-Jin romantic who had eaten too much cold food.

"His Royal Highness, second cousin, do you still recognize me?"

Chu Qiangsheng looked at me and his second cousin, Cucumber, and asked.

Cucumber is not his second cousin, not even his relatives, they are just fellow villagers.

I don't know why Chu Crow always likes to call him second cousin.

"What!~~~"

Seeing that it was him, Cucumber jumped up like a mouse, got behind me, pulled my sleeve and kept shaking.

Chu Qiangsheng used to manage the Dali Temple before becoming a speech officer, and Cucumber was in prison under his hands, and half of his life was almost lost by him.

So when Cucumber saw Chu Crow again, his calf twisted.

In fact, it’s not all Chu Wuya’s fault. Who made Cucumber’s brother, Yurou, the villagers, Cucumber wanted to protect his weaknesses, and who made Chu Qiangsheng happen to be his fellow villager, and the villagers who were Cucumber’s Yurou, Chu Qiangsheng, could still hold the pole. A relative who can beat you?

Chu Qiangsheng, like Cucumber, is from Liangpo, Ning County, Zhili.

Liangpo has three specialties: baby, eunuch and jujube.

These days people depend on the sky for food. If a place produces jujubes, it is probably very poor.There is not enough rain, there are patches of saline-alkali land, and the water brought up from the well is bitter.

This is especially true of Liangpo.

Cucumber told me back then that his grandma lived for 50 years, only one year did not go out to beg for food.

People in Liangpo were poor and had to eat. If they gave birth to a boy, they would send the child to be a eunuch in a famine year;

I was dumbfounded when I heard it.

Liangpo has a job, which is to give birth to babies.

A barren foreigner spends [-] taels of copper coins to live in Liangpo for a period of time. When the girl who accompanies him becomes pregnant, he leaves a tael of silver and his name and leaves. When he comes back ten months later, he can I saw the baby with the longevity lock engraved with his name.

Then settle the bill and leave with the baby in her arms.

In such a place, Chu Qiangsheng, a handsome bird, came out.

According to Cucumber, Chu Qiangsheng is the baby of a foreigner born to a girl from Liangpo.

The stranger never came back after sleeping with Chu's mother.Chu's mother did not sell Chu Qiangsheng to be a eunuch, but sold herself to let Chu Qiangsheng study, her health was not good, and she died in the Yongjing Chu Mansion in the second year of Chu Qiangsheng's Jinshi.

This life experience has always been the best excuse for Qingliu from the court to criticize Chu Wuya.

"I recognize it!"

I hurried forward, grabbed his thin white hand and said, "How can I not recognize you Qiangsheng, even if I forget myself, I can't forget you..."

……Um.

How did this sound so familiar?

Chu Qiangsheng shook off my hand, gave me a sideways look, and said, "My lord, it is well known in the government and the public that you are ignorant, but you keep talking about such a nonsense remark. Say it every day, say it like three meals a day, and add a supper in the evening, can you say anything else?"

I was surprised, fingers touched my lips and thought slowly, "Really? Did I tell anyone?"

Cucumber said beside him, "My lord, you have said this three times in the past few days. You said it to the prince the day before yesterday, but the prince slapped you in the face and kicked you out of Yuxi Palace; After saying it again, Mr. Lian is still kind and blushed when you said it; and then I will face Mr. Chu today."

I am angry!

Kicked cucumber ass!

"You idiot! Are you the chief executive of my Qi Palace or someone else's secret work? Why do you want to save my face in front of others, but I can't step down?"

Chu Qiangsheng sneered, "My lord, you are acting for me and talking to me. Naturally, I am not your own person, but you don't need to make it so clear in person."

"No, no!" I waved my hands like a fan, and said quickly, "I swear to God, I absolutely didn't mean that. Besides, how many tricks can I have to hide from you? I'm not the kind to say a word He kills two birds with one stone."

Chu Qiangsheng: "The lord still treats me as an outsider. Like you, you said first that you can't hide it from me in front of me, and then you said that you are not that kind of person. In fact, if you can hide it from me, then you must kill two birds with one stone. So you are the kind of person who talks twice."

Don't forgive others if you have to be reasonable, and stir up three points unreasonably!

Chu Qiangsheng was the Imperial Envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he called Ginseng that he was eating.

He was kind enough to me.

He looked at the Dazheng Palace and the group of kneeling civil servants in the distance.

So Chu Qiangsheng said again, "My lord, your method of Tai Chi is not suitable for me. Like you hide on the top of the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and lie on the bridge to watch the water flow, if you want to have both sides, it must not be difficult. But if you want to win back other people's hearts, you also need to exchange your own heart."

"Just because you casually said a good word to the three of them, and I still can't remember clearly, I know that the prince doesn't mean it sincerely."

"Since this is the case, why do you need to say this? Chu is not a confidant of King Qi."

I am ashamed again.

Chu Qiangsheng is much more refined and polite today, but I can't even stand up to his three sentences.

He is a rogue in the skin of a literati!

Chu Qiangsheng, Fenghua 32 years Tanhua (eight years ago).

He was born in poverty and studied poetry and books since childhood. (this is bullshit)

In the same year, he entered the Imperial Academy, from the sixth grade.

In April of the 40th year of Fenghua, that is, this year, Chu Qiangsheng joined the cabinet's first assistant, Du Huan, and served a vegetarian meal in his corpse.

Du Yu has been in the cabinet for 20 years and has remained motionless.

This time too.

Chu Qiangsheng was fined for one year.

Need I say anything else?

A hooligan who is proficient in stereotyped essays and has a background of two Jinshi, is very scary!

A person with such a handsome appearance, but such a personality, is like a beauty who had a romantic relationship with you overnight, the next day when the sun rises, you open your eyes and see that the person next to the pillow who was lingering last night turned out to be a pile of rotten bones!

Chu Qiangsheng suddenly asked me, "My lord, do you know that the crown prince is about to get married?"

I was stunned, and asked dumbfounded, "Who? Who wants to get married?"

"Prince Chu."

I asked again awkwardly, "Whose girl did you hire?"

Chu Qiangsheng replied, "Of course it's the granddaughter of the chief assistant Du Jue, a girl from the Du family."

Seeing that I was speechless, Chu Qiangsheng turned around and walked aside, said lightly, "Change!"

Xiao Tong quickly brought over the official uniform and changed it for him.

Dressed in a purple robe, it glows brightly!

I suddenly have a headache.
