[Red Mansion] Let's listen to a general's order

Under the circumstances witnessed by all the important officials in the court, the emperor spoke nonsense openly, and what he said was truer than the truth!What do you think of that guy Niu Jin as being pure and unbending?I'm afraid that old bastard hasn't even read a book on military affairs!I don't understand a few big characters!You actually said that he is smart and has two strategies! ?Artistic Director Liujun! ?Pooh!This is simply the absurdity of the world! !This kind of super thick skin is no longer within the reach of civil servants like them. They can only look up and worship deeply.

That's all!The right to be the emperor is blind and blinded!However, the two characters of Wu and Zhong are the highest posthumous titles among military officials, such as Wen in civil officials are of the same level.Even Yue Fei, the loyal military god of the generation, had to use Wu and Mu as his posthumous titles. How could this bastard Niu Jin have such posthumous titles!

The civil servants were very dissatisfied, and they winked at each other, hoping that someone would take the lead in opposing them.However, even the most straightforward censors know that you can impeach Niu Jin any way you want before he was alive.Even if he scolded him face to face and sprayed all the saliva on his face, although he would definitely beat himself up, but death is the most important thing. If anyone dares to object after Emperor Wen of Zhou has made a decision, it will be clear. The chariots and horses will have trouble with Niu Jin!

Not to mention whether Niu Jin's old department in the army would put himself in a sack and beat him up when he was in court!Just talking about it now will immediately cause the emperor's dissatisfaction, and even disgust.The small ones are wearing small shoes and the official position is not guaranteed, and the big ones are worrying about the safety of the whole family!Who knows if the emperor will send his whole family to the frontier in miserable exile, and then meet Niu Jin's former troops at the frontier again! ?

Therefore, although the civil servants made eye contact very enthusiastically, no one was willing to sacrifice themselves. In the end, everyone could only say in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Also." Emperor Wen of Zhou paused, "Gongsun Yue, the general of the third rank, took the lead in fighting the Huns and died. He rewarded 2000 taels of silver to handle the funeral. He also ordered the five sons of the emperor to lead ten guards to go to the palace. Drinking tea and drinking wine. All the ceremonies that deserve to be paid will be performed according to the regulations of the Ministry of Rites."

The prince opened his eyes wide in disbelief, he knew very well the temperament of that cheap old man, and he regretted his life so easily that he could not go to the front line.Moreover, there was no news of death in battle a few days ago, why did he die suddenly?

Something is wrong!These four words floated up in everyone's mind unexpectedly, especially the eyes of the princes and their henchmen who were fighting for the position were even more frighteningly bright.

When you go back, you must send someone to find out what happened!Maybe I can use this to hurt the prince!

After announcing the news of Gongsun Yue's death, Emperor Wen of Zhou ignored the changes in the expressions of the prince, princes and ministers, and went directly to the emperor's chariot prepared by the Ministry of Rites for him.If it weren't for Gongsun Yue being the father of the prince's side concubine, he would really be too lazy to pay attention to this matter in order to take care of the prince's face.How could he bestow this marriage in the first place, choose such a fool's daughter as a side concubine for the prince, and bring the prince down.

Emperor Wen of Zhou kept silent in his annoyance, and the others didn't dare to say anything even though they were full of suspicion, and followed the emperor's chariot one by one.

"Master." A smooth, fat, beardless eunuch next to him stepped forward a few steps and said in a high-pitched voice.

Dai Quan glared at him fiercely, but because all the civil and military officials were present, he could only scold him in a low voice: "A bunch of unworthy bastards!" He put down his sleeves, stood by the side of the emperor's chariot, and followed the royal driver back to the palace , Never look at him again.

The eunuch looked ashamed, and glared at the eunuchs behind him who were of the same rank, and the older eunuchs could only smile.

"Young master." He took the initiative to lean on Jia Lian's side to say hello.

Jia Lian responded with a smile, "Huang Banban."

This chubby eunuch is Huang Jin, the palm print eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor.

"Grandpa Xia, Eunuch Bi, Eunuch Tong, Eunuch Ma, Eunuch An, Eunuch Liu, Eunuch Zheng, Eunuch Zhang, and Eunuch Feng, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you all?" After counting around, the eunuch, the head of the twelve eunuchs in the inner court, Except for Dai Quan, all of them are here, causing many courtiers to stretch their ears, wanting to spy on these "eunuchs" who are discussing some treacherous schemes that "disaster the country and the people", and even the princes are extremely sideways. Well, they never thought that the relationship between Jia Lian and the inner court eunuch would be so good.

Although it is said to be the twelve prisons of the inner court, the imperial prisons among them have already been abolished by Emperor Wen of Zhou, and changed to the Guangchu Division, which belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is nominally in charge of the Ministry of Rites and foreign ministers.

"Hi, young master, we are all well." No one would believe that the eunuch, the head of the twelve eunuchs in the inner court, would be approachable and amiable to "normal" people except Emperor Zhou Wen.

"I haven't had time to congratulate the young master for his great achievements and return to the court victoriously! It is not difficult to confer a title on the basis of the young master's military exploits! This is the youngest noble in this dynasty!" Huang Jin sincerely spoke for Jia Lian happy.

Since Dai Quan brought Jia Lian to the Yumajian eight years ago, Jia Lian has entered the palace ten times, and always slipped to the Yumajian three or four times.Huang Jin saw with his own eyes the favor that Jia Lian received. These eunuchs were able to hold great power even when civil officials disliked them. From time to time, they could even wear one or two small shoes for civil officials, relying on the emperor!Naturally, they like what the emperor likes and hate what the emperor hates, and they play the word "hawk and dog" very well.

And Jia Lian likes horses, and also likes fighting. The military camp under Niu Jin's jurisdiction does not allow him, a little bean, to enter every time. Military law is not just for reading here.But in the army under the jurisdiction of the Yuma Supervisor, Huang Jin insisted that whoever was allowed to enter would be able to enter.In addition, during the festivals and festivals, Huang Jin would spend all his time preparing some exquisite gadgets for Jia Lian.Although Jia Lian didn't necessarily like it, but he also received his kindness, and would speak well of him in front of Emperor Zhou Wen and Dai Quan.Therefore, after going back and forth, the relationship between the two is getting better and better.

"Huang Banban, don't talk about such nonsense." Jia Lian cast a cold glance at the civil servant, "What's the matter? During the time the emperor left, have the father-in-laws been angry?"

Huang Jin didn't regard Jia Lian as an outsider either. To put it bluntly, Jia Lian had been with eunuchs since he was a child, and he knew more eunuchs than people he knew.

"Young master's eyes are as bright as a torch, and nothing can kill you." He said a few words in a formal manner, and then said formally and depressed: "Isn't it? Those civil servants are trying their best to make things difficult for us while the emperor is away, no Stop writing letters about treacherous eunuchs taking power, misusing the state's interests, and killing loyal officials. The children went out to buy things in the palace, and when they saw an old woman fall, they kindly helped her. How could that damned Xu Yijing just step on the ground the next day? Pointing at my nose at the door, scolding eunuchs for molesting their natal women in the street! Also... saying that eunuchs with no balls can only talk for fun, so they take pity on us and let us go!"

Although the other chief eunuchs were not present at the time, they also looked resentful and sympathetic.

"I...I, I..." Recalling the situation at that time, Huang Jin's face was flushed, and he was trembling with anger. He almost couldn't hold his breath, and even the horse couldn't sit still, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Huang Jin cursed sharply: "I molested his mother's natal woman!" Even though Huang Jin's breathing was unstable, the shrill voice still spread clearly.

Next to him, the chief eunuch Xia Ji and the chief eunuch Anli of the Imperial Palace were close to him and quickly covered his mouth.The tall and intimidating eunuch Tong Guan, the chief eunuch of the Yinshou prison, and the eunuch Ma Fuguo, the chief eunuch of the Shangbao prison, stared back at the gazes of others who heard the sound.

"Young master...Banban...the hatred in Banban's heart!" Huang Jin lowered his head, except for Jia Lian and a few chief eunuchs beside him, no one saw the monstrous hatred hidden in his eyes.

Everyone has reverse scales, touching them will kill you.And Xu Yijing obviously stepped on Huang Jin's reverse scale, one foot was not enough, and he stomped a few times fiercely.

Jia Lian's face turned cold when he heard it.

Hit people without slapping their faces, and curse people without revealing shortcomings.

It's not that life at home is difficult, who would be so determined to enter the palace with a knife and become such an unpopular servant.

"When did Huang Jin, Eunuch Huang, the chief eunuch of our horse guard, become so easy to bully?" Jia Lian raised his eyebrows.The censor, headed by Xu Yijing, repeatedly wrote letters to impeach the servants, talking about treacherous eunuchs, but keeping silent about eunuchs. It was obvious that they wanted to challenge the entire eunuch group.

"A slave, how can he resist his master's will!" After a while, Huang Jin calmed down and sighed.

"..." Jia Lian pondered for a while, "Is it the prince?" Emperor Wen of Zhou was not in Beijing, and the only one who could make the chief eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor call himself a slave was the prince.

"The prince wants to please the civil servants, so why would he protect us slaves?" Not only that, the prince also forbade them to fight back, saying that if something happened to any of these censors, he would definitely come to settle accounts with them.As soon as this remark came out, Huang Jin and the others were forced to choke on their blood, and they had to ask the head of the Dongchang who stayed in Beijing to send a fan to secretly protect those scumbags!people!

But that Xu Yijing is the most narrow-minded, and his vision is deadly.After discovering that Fanzi was following him because the prince ordered him to protect him instead of seeking revenge, he later wrote a memorial saying that the treacherous eunuch took revenge on Zhongliang and sent Dongchang Fanzi to ambush him.The crown prince scolded them again and ordered them to give some gold, silver and jewelry to Xu Yijing as compensation.

Eunuchs have always been the only ones who blackmailed civil servants, how could civil servants turn to rob eunuchs! ?Seeing Xu Yijing surrounded by civil servants like stars and the moon, you praised Xu Yushi for his integrity, fearlessness of power, and rising reputation among scholars, Huang Jin and others were so angry that they were about to vomit blood.

They were bullied to death if the crown prince hadn't ascended the throne; if the crown prince ascended the throne, would they still be able to survive as slaves of the emperor?Thinking of this, Huang Jin couldn't help feeling sad, covering his face and sobbing.

We all know that Zhang Min, the chief eunuch of the supervisor, and Feng Jing, the chief eunuch of the Zhidian supervisor, are the most sentimental, and they also covered their faces and burst into tears.

Ma Fuguo had a bad temper, and said most directly: "The prince is going to force us to death!"

Tong Guan glared at him, and scolded: "You stupid big man! You are really tall but not brainy! Can you say that you are the prince?" He waved his hand and let the servants who were already five steps away behind him come back again. Move away from them while surrounding them so others can't hear their conversations.

Zhang Min sobbed and said, "The crown prince was born with dignity, he valued civil servants, what about us useless servants?" Since the crown prince was born, Emperor Wen of Zhou has personally taken care of him, choosing the best for everything. In use, if the servants did not take good care of them, they would be relegated to the cold palace or returned to the House of Internal Affairs to study, and a new batch of clever servants would come up.The prince has seen a lot, and he relies on his status, so he doesn't take these lowly slaves seriously.

The eunuch Bi Yun, the leader of Shangbaojian, said in a low voice: "Those civil servants can go somewhere better than us, aren't they just men and women who are thieves and prostitutes." As far as I know, the other leaders and eunuchs who have connections know a lot about what news the East Factory has found.

"There are seven or eight of them who seem to be gentlemen in their homes. There are also good friends in Yixiangyuan and Feixiangguan. There are two outside in other courtyards. They think they are a romantic person!" Zheng Huai'en, the chief eunuch of the Shangshan Supervisor, said coldly. May wish to break the news.

"What is this? There are quite a few of them who like to walk on dry roads. The head of ceremonies looks like a beast in clothes. He dare not go to the small hall for fear of damaging the official reputation, so he stays at home. The dozen or so in the family are slightly taller. The handsome boys are all involved, poor children, they jump into the well and hang themselves if they can’t think about it!" The eunuch Liu He, the leader of the department and supervisor, was full of sighs and resentment, and almost named them by name.

Jia Lian looked at him in astonishment, thinking that he had misheard, that the words "dressed and beast" were actually heard in Liu He's mouth! ?Who in the palace doesn't know that the chief eunuch Liu and Eunuch Liu are the most people, as their name suggests, they are amiable and amiable.It's just that the people under him caused trouble, at most they just complained a few words, and it just increased the workload a little later, and they never said half a word.

Huang Jin and the others looked at Liu He with understanding, and explained to Jia Lian: "This time to welcome the emperor back from victory, it has always been the job of the supervisor to set up a prison, and everything such as the wedding book, guard of honor, curtain, and curtains are all important. Ready. Unexpectedly, the servant surnamed Zhou of the Ministry of Rites temporarily brought the emperor Che Ren and Yiwei Lubo they had prepared, and told the prince that the emperor returned to the court with a great victory and led an army into the city. The majesty of the Loutian family, our yin and yang servants standing next to it is really insulting the emperor's prestige. The prince thought it was reasonable, and he didn't even listen to the seventh prince's opinion, so he removed the supervisor and replaced it with the one prepared by the Ministry of Rites Manned."

This is really in front of all the officials, tearing off the face of the supervisor, throwing it on the ground and trampling it thoroughly!

Liu He could not object to the prince's order.He had no choice but to forcefully laugh and send someone to scatter his family's hands. He watched Zhou Shilang swaggering and yelling at his subordinates to do things, and he completely remembered Zhou's surname in his heart.Honest people don't get angry easily, but it's not easy to extinguish when they get angry, let alone being hated by a chief eunuch who has a good relationship with many eunuchs, concubines, and servants in the inner court.

This week, the servant also thought about everything and compared everything before he chose the kind Liu He. He thought he had picked a soft persimmon, and he could use this soft persimmon as a stepping stone to follow Xu Yijing, the censor of the right capital, smoothly. In the footsteps of the literati, his prestige among the literati is rising steadily, and he is highly praised by the civil officials, becoming a rising star among the scholars.

"What are these civil servants writing to impeach us while the emperor and the factory owner are away? Naturally, it's not to beat us all to death with a single stick. They don't have the ability." Bi Yun had the clearest understanding of the court situation, even Huang Jin, the second most powerful eunuch, convinced him.

He continued: "It's just to observe how the crown prince and other interested princes view our servants, even Dongchang." Civil servants and servants have a history of thousands of years to inherit their natural incompatibility, and civil officials themselves Knowing that no matter how beautiful they are on the outside, they really can't help but investigate in private. Dongchang, a big killer that monitors every move of officials, is too dangerous.

It's not that the crown prince doesn't know what the civil servants think, but he can't do without these civil servants if he wants to ascend the throne and deal with the government affairs. In addition, he himself looks down on eunuchs, so he made the decision to ask Huang Jin and other eunuchs to endure it.

On the surface, the princes are also on the same front as the civil servants, but unlike the noble princes, they are well aware of the power of the eunuchs, especially the Imperial Horse Supervisor who controls an army... So, they privately Send people to contact the cronies of the eunuchs to express their goodwill.

"Grandpa Bi, these things...wouldn't it be nice for you old man to tell me...?" Jia Lian heard more and more something was wrong, and hurriedly spoke to stop it.

"Oh! Young master, it's not that this old fellow Bi Yun is confused. If you were young master, Bi Yun would never have dared to say these things to you before you went to war." Lian, just like the crown prince back then, was deeply loved by the holy family, young and frivolous, innocent, and unable to take care of things even if he wanted to.

But it's different now.Bi Yun could see that Jia Lian had an extra iron-blooded and tough aura, an extra superficially invincible face, an extra loyal army, and an unfathomable...ambition?

It seems that the death of the general really changed the young master a lot!Bi Yun stroked his smooth chin and thought.

"The crown prince can't tolerate us today, and he won't let the young master know the cause of Gongsun Yue's death in the future. Have you decided which side to take?" Bi Yunyu was shocked.
