Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 388 Indelible Memory

After sending off Wei Wei and Guan Ping, Eunuch Pan quickly returned to the Imperial Study Room. When he came back, he happened to meet Eunuch Cui who had just come out of it and was about to go back to the Empress Dowager's Palace.

"Are you back?" Eunuch Cui patted the snowflakes off Eunuch Pan's shoulders, "Pan, from now on, the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty will depend on you to take care of them."

"Grandfather..." Seeing the smile on Eunuch Cui's face, Eunuch Pan was startled, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the other party.

"I know what you want to say, no need to say more, I have made up my mind."

"Yes, grandpa." Eunuch Pan took a deep breath, "Let the little ones take you back!" He waved to the little waiter with a lantern standing at the door, "It snowed again just now, and the road is slippery , be careful where you step."

"Okay, let's go back!" Eunuch Cui patted Eunuch Pan on the shoulder, "Your Majesty is still waiting for you!"

"Yes, grandpa, go slowly!"

Seeing Eunuch Cui walking slowly towards the Empress Dowager's bedroom with the support of two servants, Eunuch Pan sighed softly, turned around and entered the imperial study.

Seeing him coming in, Song Jue waved at him and said with a smile, "I heard some movement at the door just now, Pan Pan, did you meet your grandpa?"

"Yes, it's snowing again outside, and this servant asked the two children to send the Grandpa back. But, Your Majesty..." Eunuch Pan looked at Song Jue with a worried face, "I just had a face-to-face meeting with the Grandfather, and I feel... It seems like a different person, as if the heavy stone in his heart has disappeared. Your Majesty...has agreed to the Grand Duke's request?"

"Yes, I have approved his request and asked him to accompany Princess Heqin to Liao." Seeing the wry smile on Eunuch Pan's face, Song Jue reached out and patted him, "What's your reaction?"

"Your Majesty, privately speaking, this servant agrees with your decision, but from a public perspective, is it inappropriate?" Eunuch Pan looked at Ying Shisan and then at Bai Meng, "It's not that this servant is talking about people behind your back. Gossip, the grandpa is kind to the slaves, and the servants can be today, all thanks to the protection of the grandpa, otherwise, they would have died when they were young. But... the slaves are still a little worried. Although the grandpa grew up in Daxia, he treats your majesty No one will doubt the Queen Mother's loyalty, but he has always been from Liao, a member of Yelu's family. This point, even after another 100 years, will not change. Your Majesty, allow him to return to Liao, Will it be detrimental to our plan?"

"Pan Pan, you are right to have such concerns." Snatching the hot soup from Baimeng's hand, he drank half a bowl of soup, and Song Jue wiped his mouth and said, "But don't forget, Taigong's The bloody enmity is enough for him to pay any price, even if he bears the eternal infamy, Yeluertu must pay for his life, and that is something he will never forget in his life." He sighed softly, "What exactly is this matter? I am not particularly clear about the situation. When I was young, I heard my father say that it is not easy for the grandpa. He is obviously a son of a nobleman. He can spend his life in glory, but he does not want to end up in such a land. Not only did he leave his homeland, but also..." He shook his head , Thinking of Eunuch Cui's rough life experience, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed. "If you can't get rid of Yeluertu yourself, I'm afraid you will die in peace." He looked at Ying Thirteen, "Do you, Shadow, know exactly what happened?"

"I know, it's really miserable." Ying Shisan's expression was not very good, "It's almost 45 years since that happened."

"Wait a minute!" Bai Meng interrupted Ying Shisan's words, "Didn't the grandfather say that it was about 45 years ago? How come you have been here for [-] years?"

"Eunuch Cui is only 50 years old this year, where can I find someone who is 50 years old?" Ying Shisan couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Commander Bai doesn't know the customs of the Liao people, they are very taboo about 60 years old to 50 years old. For a while, when people turned fifty, they would not say they were 60 years old, but [-] years old.”

"I know this. Liao people think that in the ten years from 50 years old to 60 years old, whether it is luck or health, everything is not good, and many bad things will happen during this period, so they Just avoid this, 50 years old says he is 60 years old, and when he reaches 60 years old, he still says he is 60 years old. Although this statement is a bit ridiculous, it is a custom after all, we should respect it a little." Song Jue After eating a piece of dim sum, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach. He raised his head and looked at Eunuch Pan, "Pan Pan, ask someone to prepare supper, and everyone will have a bowl of hot noodle soup."

"Yes!" Eunuch Pan replied, went out to order the little servant, and came back to listen to Ying Shisan's narration.

"45 years ago, Yeluertu was just a fledgling. Although he was considered number one in Linhuang Mansion, he was still far from his goal. However, Eunuch Cui's father and grandfather were powerful factions in the Liao Kingdom. He pretended to cling to him, After gaining their trust, Backhand teamed up with their enemies to frame their family for an act of treason. The evidence of the so-called treason found was all hidden by Yeluertu when others were not prepared."

"Grandpa's grandfather and father trust Yeluertu so much?" Bai Meng couldn't believe it, "Aren't you on guard at all? Impossible?"

"Naturally, I trust him. After all, I watched him grow up, and he is a very promising child in the clan. If he can help, he can help." Ying Shisan explained, "At that time, although Yelu's family There were also many conflicts, many quarrels, and even fights in the street, but this kind of appalling thing of using insidious tricks to attack one's own people and frame oneself has never happened before."

"The Thirteenth General is right." Eunuch Pan agreed with Ying Thirteen's statement, "Why is Yeluertu's reputation so bad? Why does everyone think he is unpredictable, sinister and cunning? Why did he do this?" When a decision is made, other people have to think over and over again what he means? Why even his son and nephew want to plot against him is actually reasonable. This tradition of plotting against others and secretly attacking others started from him of."

"That's what happened." Ying Shisan sighed softly. "Cui Gonggong's family promoted him, but he bit back and accused them of treason. No matter where the crime of treason is, it is extremely important. There is no conclusive evidence, and he dare not draw conclusions lightly. Yelu Ertu naturally knows this One point, he hid a lot of ironclad evidence, so..." He spread his hands, with a very helpless expression, "Eunuch Cui's clan, ranging from eighty-year-olds to newborn babies, has more than a thousand people."

"All... all dead?" Bai Meng frowned, "Is there still someone alive?"

"Children under the age of seven were spared, and others..." Ying Thirteen paused, "All of them were beheaded. People who have witnessed the description of the execution ground at that time, the blood flowing into rivers is no longer a fiction, but a fact. That time The execution lasted for three days and three nights, and the executioner changed three beheading knives, each of which had its blade curled." He shook his head, "Although I have never experienced it myself, just thinking about it makes me shudder."

"Yeah, if this were to be put on the battlefield, it would be a very honorable thing to behead a thousand enemy soldiers, but now..." Song Jue and Bai Meng glanced at each other, "The target of the attack is one of our own. Imagine."

"What happened later?" Bai Meng rested her cheeks, "Have children under the age of seven... been sent to the palace as servants?"

"Boys are all girls..." Ying Shisan took a deep breath, "Official tricks, unless they die, they will never leave their status."

"Then..." Eunuch Pan pretended not to care and wiped away his tears, "How many people are left in Taigong's family?"

"...Only Eunuch Cui is left."

　At the end of the year, there will be endless meetings, go crazy!
