Rebirth in another world as a fake eunuch

Chapter 64 Accident
After a banquet, the two drank for more than an hour.

Under the third prince's deliberate friendship and Wang Kuo's deliberate pandering, the relationship between the two has become somewhat closer.

Wang Kuo has a good capacity for alcohol, but after drinking for more than an hour, he still inevitably became a little drunk.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. From now on, this servant will follow His Majesty's lead. Your Highness will let this servant go west, but this servant will never go east." Wang Kuo promised with a ruddy complexion, staring at his eyes that were about to close, and patted his chest.

"Okay, okay." The third prince Zhu Xiaonian was also drunk, and he praised and assured Wang Kuo with his dull eyes open: "My lord Wang's words really win my heart, and I will never treat my lord badly in the future." .”

"Also... please rest assured, Mr. Wang."

"Your Highness is so kind and virtuous, this slave will keep it in mind, so this slave will thank His Highness first..."

As soon as Wang Kuo finished speaking, before the third prince continued to speak, the eunuch who had been serving Zhu Xiaonian at the side couldn't help but stepped forward to speak.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. Your Majesty has an order that you must go to court tomorrow morning. Look..."

"Huh? Father really said that?" Zhu Xiaonian was taken aback when he heard the words, and after tilting his head for a while, he seemed to realize something: "Yes, it seems that I really drank too much. If so, Then, Mr. Wang, let's go here first today, if you are free another day, you and I will have a drink together."

"Yes, what Your Highness said is that the slave will leave first, and Your Highness will also rest earlier." Wang Kuo also staggered and stood up quickly when he heard the words, and said goodbye.

"Well, Eunuch Xu, you go to see off Lord Wang on behalf of me, Ben, I'm a little tired..."

"It's Your Highness." Eunuch Xu nodded, looked at Wang Kuo and said, "Master Wang, please."

"Your Highness, this subordinate will leave." Wang Kuo bowed unsteadily to Zhu Xiaonian, and after Zhu Xiaonian waved his hand, he turned and left.

But he didn't want to stop suddenly after walking a few steps, and turned to Eunuch Xu with an apologetic smile.

"Eunuch Xu, please."

"Master Wang, please first." Eunuch Xu didn't mind seeing this, he smiled and shook his head as a gesture of invitation, and seeing Wang Kuo staggeringly walking, he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's still the miscellaneous family who will help you." Bar."

"Uh, thank you Eunuch Xu."

Along the way, Eunuch Xu sent Wang Kuo to the gate of the third prince's mansion, and waved for several guards who had already been waiting there.

"You guys are responsible for sending Master Wang back safely, and no problems are allowed."

"Yes." Several guards clasped their fists and saluted.

Wang Kuo left under the protection of the guards, while Eunuch Xu returned the same way, and soon arrived at the place of the banquet.

All the banquets for this matter have been withdrawn, except for the faint smell of wine, only one young man is still standing there.

"He has already left." The young man asked softly when he saw Eunuch Xu walking back in a hurry.

"His Royal Highness, Wang Kuo has already left."

This young man was the third prince, Zhu Xiaonian. At this time, Zhu Xiaonian was still drunk just now, if not for the slight blush on his face, no one would have been able to tell that he had drunk just now.

At this moment, another court lady brought over the soup for hangover, Zhu Xiaonian sat down casually and took a sip of the soup for hangover.

"You have been on the sidelines for this banquet. According to your opinion, how is this Wang Kuo?"

"According to my servant's observation, this Wang Kuo is very smart, but he should be a greedy guy, otherwise he would not be willing to accept His Majesty's money, let alone open a shop in Dongchengfang City."

"Are you greedy for money?" Hearing what Eunuch Xu said, Zhu Xiaonian nodded, "No one is perfect, this life always has some needs, or power, or money and beautiful women. He is just like you, and beautiful women don't need it." Think about it, so it makes sense that I like money."

For Zhu Xiaonian, being greedy for money is not terrible, on the contrary, it is worthy of praise, because only Wang Kuo has a weakness that can be used by him and bought by him.

But apparently that wasn't his concern.

"Do you think this person can be trusted? Can he be used by me?"

"I'm not sure about this, but I feel that since he has offended the second prince, it is impossible for him to switch to the second prince's subordinates. As for the first prince who is already the crown prince, I don't think he would care about such a little boy." A small town envoy, so if Your Highness personally recruits him, he should be very grateful to His Highness."

"Well, this statement is reasonable." Zhu Xiaonian nodded lightly, and suddenly said to himself: "And I don't believe that my two elder brothers can see how extraordinary he is."

Indeed, a small town governor is not worth recruiting by princes like them, especially if this town governor is a yamen like Nanzhen Fusi who only targets Jinyiwei.

But Zhu Xiaonian discovered from recent events that Wang Kuo's potential is very great, or that his father admires Wang Kuo very much, so it is not impossible for such a talent to soar into the sky.

That's why he suddenly wanted to befriend Wang Kuo, not Jin Yiwei's commander Sun Deqiang.

Of course, this is also because Sun Deqiang is too eye-catching. After all, he is the commander of Jin Yiwei and the eyes of his father. If he goes to recruit such a person, the chances are low, and he will easily get angry. On the contrary, Wang Kuo, who has potential, is more worthy of him. to invest.

…………

"Hey, it seems that it's not good for people to be too good."

Inside the gate of the Wang Family Academy, Wang Kuo, who was drunk as he heard the sound of horseshoes fading away, also lost his drunkenness just now.

How could he not pretend to be drunk at the school annual meeting?Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, who hasn't learned acting skills?

"The third prince has a good eye, and he can actually see my extraordinary."

"It's just too ambitious. It seems that this is also an ambitious man."

Thinking of the third prince Zhu Xiaonian's solicitation to him today, Wang Kuo was also helpless, admiring his good vision, but also lamenting his lack of composure.

This person is smart and smart, and knows how to keep a low profile, but he is a little inexperienced.

Just like today, if ordinary people are really easy to be moved by the third prince's approachable attitude and willingness to come forward to ask the second prince to intercede for help.

But Wang Kuo is not an ordinary person after all, and he understands the horror of Jin Yiwei even more.

Since the development of Jinyiwei, in fact, in the entire capital, there are already spies from Jinyiwei, from the first assistant of the cabinet to the homes of Zhima officials of the sixth and seventh ranks. The only difference may be the number and the level of positions.

So the third prince's mansion doesn't have to think about it, they all know that there will definitely be spies from Jinyiwei, so if he goes in for a banquet, will this kind of thing reach Sun Deqiang's ears?

The answer is obvious, that's why he seldom enters the palace during this time, and even if he does, he seldom goes to Li Shuyi and Yin Xiwen's place.

"Forget it, let's go to sleep first, and then enter the palace when we wake up tomorrow."

This time Wang Kuo slept very sweetly, it was because of drinking, and also because he had a plan in mind, so he slept until the sun was high before getting up.

But he didn't want to get up just now, and received two news that shocked the government and the public.

The first one is that during the early court today, the emperor Zhu Yu ordered all the princes to participate, and appointed five princes as kings during the early court.

In this world, there is a decree, that is, the king will be resigned in three months.

The so-called conferment of kings in March means that once the princes are crowned kings, these princes must leave the capital within three months, and they are absolutely not allowed to stay in the capital for one more day.

When this decree came down, it caused an uproar among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty almost instantly.

There are those who are in favor, and there are also many opponents.

Almost all the ministers in favor belonged to the prince's faction, because the princes would go out as soon as they sealed the king, and the prince's position would be more stable. The brothers are thinking about it.

As for those who oppose, needless to say, they are almost all the remaining prince factions. The reasons for these people's opposition are various. Some say that the prince is too young to leave, and some say that His Majesty is still young and should enjoy family happiness, etc. wait.

In short, during the entire early court period, the factions of the two parties continued to quarrel, even though Zhu Yu had already made an order, the quarrel was temporarily put on hold, waiting for the outcome of the re-discussion.

As for the second news that shocked the government and the public, it is a major matter related to the border.

It turned out that just a few months ago, the Tatar Ministry suddenly sent [-] troops to invade the Tianming Dynasty's Zhenlang Pass.

When the guard in charge of the Wolf Pass saw it, he couldn't help but feel happy.

You must know that Zhenlangguan is a border fortress, and there are usually [-] defenders. You have [-] soldiers who invade the border?
This is a crime, this is giving yourself military merit.

However, this guard is not a fool, he is also afraid of the enemy's deceit, so he tries his best to restrain his men not to leave the city, let alone open the city gate.

As a result, [-] troops were galloping like lightning, and they took advantage of the fast running of the horses to start a blitzkrieg. The troops were divided into more than ten places to carry out sneak attacks on the towns around the border.

After a full month, these Tatar soldiers burned, killed, looted and committed all sorts of crimes.

Even many soldiers stationed at the Beacon Tower outside the city were killed.

In the end, the guard had no choice but to lead his troops to help, annihilating two Tatar cavalry successively, and made a lot of contributions.

This is how people are. When you are careful, you may be cautious about small things, but when you are careless, even if you feel that the situation is not right, you think it is a piece of cake.

The annihilation of the two reports made the defender almost overwhelmed with self-confidence. He felt that he was the reincarnation of the god of war and was invincible in the world. Therefore, he became more courageous and took away 1 defenders with [-] defenders, and surrounded and suppressed the Tatars everywhere cavalry.

As a result, during an encirclement and suppression of the Tatar cavalry, there was a sudden surge of endless Tatar cavalry, which at a glance could not be less than tens of thousands, and the guard did not react until this time.

For a long time, those people he annihilated before were all bait.

Needless to say, there are many enemy soldiers, so naturally they should kill... let's run.

As a result, the guard found sadly that the horses of his own people were not as fast as others, not to mention that there were more than 7000 people in the [-]-strong army without horses, so they could only run with their legs.

After running for nearly half an hour, the guard was surprised to find that only half of his soldiers had died in battle, and the other half were by his side.

On the other hand, those Tatar cavalry who should have surrounded him long ago were still chasing slowly in the distance, and the guard's heart suddenly sank.

I knew I had fallen into someone else's trap this time.
