Chapter 1550 He Is Really Brave

A post station more than thirty miles away from Chang'an.

At the end of the year, more officials from all over the country went to Chang'an to participate in the Great Court Meeting, and the post station was therefore very busy.

Wu Hua, the postman, liked this time the most. According to his words, in the past, most of the people who passed by the post station were relegated officials, looking depressed.And at the end of the year, officials from all over the country who went to Chang'an looked much fresher.

That's right, it's much fresher.

Also more energetic.

"At the end of the year, farmers will also make a pot of turbid wine for themselves, get a handful of roasted beans, squat at the door of the house, blow the cold wind, and point to the distance to look forward to the coming year for their children and grandchildren. The same is true for those officials, at the end of the year! If you have to run away from the relationship, you have to find a way to get promoted. People! You have to be self-motivated, and with self-motivation, this person looks fresh."

Wu Hua, who was short in stature, stood in the yard with his hands clasped in his cuffs.

"Yicheng, what about you?" A postman carrying firewood to the kitchen asked with a smile.

"Me?" Wu Hua pointed to himself, "Those are all nobles. Once they enter my station, they are my people. Get some good wine and food, some warm footwashing water, some clean bedding, It's all human favors, isn't it? Maybe! A certain nobleman took a fancy to me and led me to prosper."

"Hey! The sound of hooves!"

someone said.

"A lot!" Wu Hua narrowed his eyes, "Eh... at least a hundred riders. They are nobles."

At the end of the year, officials from all over the country will bring tribute to Chang'an, accompanied by students who will take part in the imperial examination in the spring of next year.More than a hundred rides, almost.

Wu Hua said, "We're all busy!"

Only by making a busy gesture can the nobleman be satisfied.

He greeted the outside with a smile, and said as he walked: "I don't know where the envoy or Sima don't drive..."

The door was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind blew in with snowflakes.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Wu Hua's throat was itchy from the cold wind, and he squinted and said, "Which nobleman?"

In came two men.The two looked at the courtyard, turned their gazes, and fixed on Wu Hua, "Is there someone living here?"

What a big air, Wu Hua said: "Not yet, but I can't tell the follow-up."

A man comes in, "Call everyone."

Wu Hua felt wrong when he heard it, "You are..."

"Jinyiwei!"

A sign was displayed, and Wu Hua shivered, "Hurry up, we're assembled."

The postmen assembled, and the man asked, "Is it all here?"

"Yes, everything is here."

Wu Hua was sure.

"check!"

Jeron came in.

Immediately, dozens of people rushed in and searched the station.

"Nothing unusual!"

Jie Long nodded, "Okay!"

Wu Hua was a little apprehensive, "My lord, I don't know who came..."

"Don't ask if you shouldn't." Jie Long said with a cold face.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Jin Yiwei's vicious reputation can make officials have nightmares at night, but such a vicious Jin Yiwei is actually standing up for others at this moment.

Who would that be?
There was the sound of horseshoes outside.

I have been working in such places for a long time, and I just need to listen to know how many rides have come.

More than three hundred!
More than three hundred, who would it be?
The sound of horseshoes came to the door, and Wu Hua wanted to greet him with a smile, with one arm in front of him.

"retreat!"

The Jin Yiwei who intercepted him immediately stood up with his arms tied.

Jielong walked to the door and stood sideways.

Wu Hua glanced at it, and it was the same for all Jinyiwei.

God!

A guess made Wu Hua tremble.

"It looks good here."

"It's not bad. It has the charm of mottled historical sites. When it rains next spring, it will make those literati and poets flock to it."

Following this voice, two men came in.

A middle-aged scribe, and one... turned out to be a monk.

"Mr. Han." Jielong said with a smile, "Master."

"Thank you." Han Ji nodded.

Wu Hua said with a smile: "The villain Wu Hua is the postman here."

Mr. Han, isn't that Han Ji?
As for the monk, he was probably the Master of Compassion next to the emperor.

It really is a nobleman.

Wu Hua was overjoyed in his heart, thinking about what means he could use to win the favor of the two of them.

"Stone, slow down."

Someone outside said.

"The slaves dare not."

Ok?
Wu Hua was startled.

Then, I saw a man who was not young coming in. The man turned sideways, and then a man in his 30s came in, smiling, and looked up inside.

For some reason, Wu Hua felt that his legs were a little weak, and he couldn't say those polite words.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

The brocade guards in the courtyard knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?!"

Wu Hua was trembling, and without anyone calling, his legs softened and he knelt down.

It was the emperor who came.

And the man in front is Han Shitou.

The emperor walked in, looked at the courtyard, and said, "This stone slab looks old, and I don't know how many people have passed by. History, history, is written in history books, but it is mottled on the stone slab."

Han Shitou said: "After all, it must be recorded in the history books."

"Exemption!" the emperor said.

When everyone got up, the postmen found that Mr. Yicheng, who was usually quite slippery, stuttered at the moment, and his gestures were a little uncoordinated.

"I'll make the food myself, you just prepare the ingredients." Qin Ze came over to hand over the food.As he spoke, he glanced at Han Shitou.

He is the eunuch next to the emperor, that is, Han Shitou's position next to the false emperor.

According to the trend, he will gradually become No.1 under the nobles in the palace.

Unexpectedly, Han Shitou turned out to be...

He still remembers the scene of that day.

The emperor beheaded Li Yuan with a single knife, and everyone found out that Han Shitou had tears in his eyes and was fixed on looking at the emperor.

That look!

It's like a long-lost relative.

The emperor was obviously also stunned.

Then, he covered his forehead, "Back then I showed my flaws, I thought I would be discovered by the false emperor..."

"It was the servant who covered it up."

Han Shishi said.

"You..." Lin Feibao pointed at Han Shitou, "Before I left, the late emperor told me that the period would be 20 years. If someone sends a letter within 20 years, then that would be the day I waited to leave the mountain. On that day, the old man was in the blacksmith shop. Doing business, but a ball of paper bounces outside, which is the signal to activate us... Who is it?"

"It's us!"

Han Shitou was still looking at the emperor, "Like! Half like the first emperor, half like Huang Fengyi."

Lin Feibao was shocked, "At the beginning, His Majesty said that he had an arrangement, but he refused to say who that person was. It turned out to be you!"

"Shitou!" Li Mi shouted frantically: "Han Shitou, are you lying to save your life? Where is your loyalty?"

Han Shitou said coldly: "We are the late emperor's people from the beginning to the end, old dog. We have been watching you pervert and triumphant all these years. Now, your good days are coming to an end."

It turned out that Han Shitou was a person who respected the emperor.

Just thinking that the confidant eunuch who stood behind the false emperor for many years turned out to be someone who respected the emperor, Qin Ze couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.

And being able to stay by the false emperor's side for decades without showing any flaws, Han Shitou is even more frightening.

Thinking of this, Qin Ze's eyes darkened.

Your Majesty thinks he will reuse Han Shishi!
After entering the post station and having a simple meal, an envoy from Chang'an came.

"His Royal Highness is preparing to go out tomorrow, and ordered the servants to bring a big cloak."

The servant brought a great cloak.

The emperor brought it up and took a look, "The fur is not bad." He asked, "How is the prince?"

"Your Highness is well."

"Is someone making trouble?" the emperor asked casually.

But the people present were shocked.

It seemed to smell blood.

"No." The servant said respectfully: "I heard that His Majesty is coming back, Guanzhong is very quiet."

"Silence like a cicada?" The emperor laughed.

The emperor handed the cloak to Han Shitou, but Han Shitou did not dare to accept it. The emperor smiled and said, "Now that I think about it carefully, there are traces of many things in these years. Everything was planned by you in the palace. Under the false emperor's eyelids If there is something wrong with the bottom line, it will be revealed in an instant. It is not easy."

Qin Ze felt that if he changed himself, he would go crazy if he could persist for half a year.

Think about it, every day you serve a deadly enemy, thinking about how to kill him, but you need to pretend to be loyal and consider everything for him.

This must be crazy?
Qin Ze glanced at Han Shitou with admiration.

"At the beginning, the servants were a little bit unable to suppress their murderous intentions, so they thought in their minds that this person was the master of the servants, and they wanted to serve him sincerely. Just thinking about it this way, sometimes I felt that he was the master of the slaves, and sometimes I felt that he was the master of the slaves. He is the enemy of the servant. Just thinking about it...and walking. Later, the servant can pretend to be loyal, but he is thinking about other things in his heart."

This is an improvement in acting.

not easy!
The emperor put a cloak on Han Shishi.

The two entered the room.

With the candlelight flickering, Han Shitou poured a cup of tea for the emperor. The emperor asked, "Aye... what kind of person is he? Since he knows that the false emperor and his son are wrong, why didn't he do it?"

"The first emperor was a man of love and righteousness." Han Shitou said.

"Then..." the emperor held the teacup in his hand, and said in a puzzled way, "Since he knows that the false emperor and his son have bad intentions, why didn't he strike first?"

"Back then..." Han Shitou narrowed his eyes, as if he had returned to the past.

"At the beginning, the first emperor was only thinking about reforming the Tang Dynasty, and he made many enemies outside..."

That old man is really brave!
Thinking of honoring the enemies the emperor offended back then, the emperor's eyelids twitched.

"At that time, the first emperor dealt with those opponents all day long, and there were many people who were impeached by the court, so he had to deal with the opponents in the court..."

"When the first emperor discovered that something was wrong with the false emperor and his son, he was already in a deep whirlpool. If he took action against the false emperor and his son at this time, even the clan would turn against him."

"Great families, officials, dignitaries, clan..." The emperor sighed, "Why is he like this?"

This is the rhythm of treating oneself as a sacrifice!

"The late emperor once said that when the Tang Dynasty reached this stage, it would be impossible to save the country's fortunes without the thunderbolt method. But he used the thunderbolt method, but he only got countless enemies."

"He lacks support," said the Emperor.

"Yes, the first emperor is like a lonely warrior." Tears welled up in Han Shitou's eyes.

"So, when did he tell you all this?" asked the emperor.

"On that night." Han Shitou said: "On the second day, the servant girl went to find Li Mi and reported to the late emperor..."
