The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 108 That Man, Called a Man

The setting sun sets over the city, turning into the last ray of sunlight and dyeing the clouds red.

The gathered five carriages drove into Guangde Square. Now that King Huang's army entered the city, there were few people on the streets.

"Knowing the people of Chang'an, the tyranny of the Tang court, the greed of the officials, the Huang Wang's army was forced and helpless. Today, the Tang Emperor avoided the sharp edge of our rebel army and fled to the south. The Huang Wang entered Chang'an. He knows the hardships of the people and waits for the city to be peaceful. Folks can only enter the street, hoping that each other is safe and safe, and keep themselves safe."

Anmin's notice gradually faded away. In the innermost mansion, the brand-new "Geng" door plaque was hung high, and the painted red courtyard gate, Dachun took out the yellow king's army flag prepared in advance and hung it in front of the door. Outside, he returned to the mansion and closed the door tightly.

All the way forward, through the Fengshui wall, a group of more than 20 slim women of different heights and ages, all within the number of double ten.

Walking under the eaves, they gathered in the middle hall of the front yard, with worried expressions, gathered together and whispered together, and glanced at the figure walking outside the door from time to time.

"Where the women here come from, don't tell them."

"...If someone from outside asks, they will say that they are all my Geng Qing's mother-in-law."

After exhorting Dou Wei, who was tall and tall, Geng Qing sent him away and took the words to other brothers, then quickly stepped over the threshold, jumped into the group of women with a smile on his face, and greeted the group of women in front of him. He arched his hands.

A more courageous woman held a silk handkerchief and gave a blessing carefully.

"My lord, do I want to live here after I wait for my sister?"

"Let's stay in this mansion for the time being, and wait for the city to settle down, and then I will find some servant girls to serve you." Speaking of which, Geng Qing didn't know what to call them. After all, they were all the emperor's women, and he didn't know how to call him in the harem. It's kind of rude to call.

After thinking about it, he didn't continue talking after all. Someone brought tea over, poured a bowl of herbal tea, poured it down, then sat down comfortably, and continued what he said just now.

"Don't call me langjun langjun, remember to call me husband in the future, and you are all my wives."

Although Advisor Fu had mentioned this to them before, but Geng Qing said it, which made a group of women coquettish, or complained a few words in embarrassment. Although the voices of more than 20 women were small, they chattered together, There was a buzzing chaos in the hall.

"We have more than 20 sisters, all of whom are His Majesty's concubines."

". Gu Changshi has already told us, Mr. Hugh, don't mention it again, it's embarrassing to death."

"My lord, this makes it difficult for us sisters, it's really embarrassing."

Yingying, Yanyan, and a group of women chattered around Geng Qing, which was dazzling. Geng Qing hurriedly got up and came out from the group of women, stepped back to the door, and waved them to stop, but it was useless, so he had to yell. Voice: "Shut up!"

The girls in the hall were startled by the sound and stopped speaking.

"The emperor left Chang'an, Baiguan, and you concubines and ran away. I was entrusted by Gu Changshi to take care of you, so as not to fall into the hands of rebels. They have eaten people, and they don't show mercy to women." Yu, the current situation in the city is no different than usual, and it is also not in the palace. I hope you can restrain your temper, abide by the rules, run out and cause trouble, and everyone will die. It is a serious crime to take in a concubine in the palace. If you get involved, we will really come Yincao has become husband and wife."

Geng Qing's words were intended to frighten them. These emperor's women live in the harem and don't know much about the outside world.

Sure enough, when they heard these words, their faces changed with fright, and they dared not say any more. More than 20 sisters leaned slightly on each other.

"I'm not saying this to scare you, but it's a fact. Now that the country is in crisis and the city is broken and the emperor is running away, I hope you don't want to make trouble!" Geng Qing cupped his fists at them, "Gu Changshi has already paid for all the living expenses here. Food and clothing will not be short."

The woman who spoke first nodded and came out to give a short blessing.

"Lang Jun's words, I will wait for my sister to write down."

"Well, it's good that we live in peace. By the way, I'm Geng Qing, whose name is Ji Chang, but it's better to call me husband, so as not to be seen through!"

Geng Qing retreated outside the door, cupped his hands, and raised his chin at the group of women inside.

"Come on, let's call out familiarity first, then it won't be difficult to speak later."

The faces of all the girls were blushing, you look at me, I look at you, no one is too embarrassed to speak first, but the woman who spoke just now looked back at the sisters, pressed her lips tightly, stepped forward and spoke softly Called: "Husband."

Someone spoke first, and the other concubines hesitated for a moment, then followed the woman's voice and called out in a low voice.

"Husband."

More than 20 crisp, gentle, and charming words were rubbed together into the ears, and the Jiao Didi was so comfortable, Geng Qing winked at them quite proudly and said "hey" in response, causing all the girls to spit, His pretty faces blushed.

'Tsk tsk. It's really different to be called husband by the emperor's women. Am I greening the emperor Li Xuan? '

Geng Qing muttered and left the front yard, leaving two helpers to guard the gatehouse, then went out and got into the carriage, before it was completely dark, it was time to return to Yong'an Square.

However, before driving out here, as soon as he reached a street corner, someone was chasing him on horseback. Jiuyu was in a carriage behind him. When he opened the curtain and saw the person coming, he rushed out of the carriage, jumped into the air and landed steadily The knight in front.

sigh -

The horse neighed, and the man pulled the reins to stop the horse, turned over in a panic, and ran towards Jiuyu: "Something happened in the palace. The guard guards the gate of the palace to prevent the rebels from entering the palace. Ye Ting All the sisters in the palace followed and started killing."

"what?!"

Jiuyu's complexion changed, she pulled the guard away, grabbed the horse and turned on her back, shouting: "Drive!" and galloped the horse.

Hearing the movement, Geng Qing asked Dachun to stop the car, and called the guard over to inquire about the matter. After hearing this, his face was complicated, and he said in a low voice: "Follow me and have a look."

After a while, the carriage turned around and chased after Jiuyu to the imperial city.

Imperial City.

In front of the Chengtian Gate leading to Taiji Palace, there was a chaotic sound of fighting.

After the grass army entered the city, they set up a list to calm the people all the way, and inspected the ambushes who might have surrendered and hid. After they arrived without any problems, Huang Chao led a group of generals, brought the Chinese army and personal guards into the city, and came to enjoy the crowd on both sides. eyes, rode into the palace on horseback.

However, in the originally chaotic imperial city, a group of more than [-] people stopped at Chengtian Gate. They were dressed in round-neck robes in the palace. They looked like eunuchs, tremblingly watching the rebels pressing down like a black cloud. With the blade out of his waist, he screamed sharply and rushed towards the army formation frantically.

The army formation on the opposite side, pressing down the dense gun forest, has also pushed over with neat steps, colliding with the crazy eunuch.

Upstairs in Chengtian Gate, a chair was placed in the middle, and an old eunuch with white hair in a bun was sitting on it, leaning against the back of the chair, with one leg crossed, walking lightly and slowly, humming a tune he heard from somewhere.

"The thieves invaded my house in front of the door, and the men at home are still there, how can I let the thieves laugh at me?"

below.

The eunuchs fell one by one, and those who followed stepped on the corpse with a knife, tears in their eyes, "Ah—" they threw themselves into the gun forest, and their bodies were pierced by several gun heads and lifted into the air.

Blood flew out, shrill screams and ferocious roars merged into one piece, and the remaining hundred or so eunuchs of Ye Ting Palace crowded in front of the spear array and kept wielding their knives. Among the gun barrels, some soldiers fell to the ground with swords, and more eunuchs fell to the ground after being shot.

".The sound of the drums on the Golden Drum Tower"

Upstairs in Chengtian Gate, the jiggling steps stopped, the old man leaning on the back of the chair opened his eyes, looked at the half red and half dark sky, and hummed a tune.

"If the sisters and brothers are here, let the men catch the thief"

In front of Chengtianmen, the last eunuch swayed and fell down, and there was a hoarse and high-pitched voice from the tower, and the last one fell.

".kill!"

As the voice echoed, Huang Chao raised his face, and a figure with white hair in a bun dragged his robes and fluttered, caressing, and suddenly swooped down from the tower.

Below, the guns stabbed straight, and the falling figure turned around and stepped on the shoulder of a soldier. The condensed killing intent rushed straight to the Yellow King under the banner over there.

Huang Chao sat motionless on the horse's back. A general beside him rode out on his horse, stepped on the horse's back, drew his sword and cut it, the blade's light collided with the killing intent in the air.

The general flew back upside down and hit his horse hard, and the horse fell sideways with a bang, and the consultant Fu was also smashed into the back of the gun forest by the knife, and the tip of the gun was nailed along the ground where he rolled. He kicked one person away, and when he turned over and stood up, a feathered arrow pierced the air with a loud sound.

puff!
The arrow pierced through his shoulder blades, and then the surrounding gun forest also stabbed over. Seven or eight spears pierced into the body of Advisor Fu. The yellow nest under the banner of Linhou.

"The thief broke into my house! Kill him!"

With his arms curled up, holding the gun handles pierced into his body on both sides, he swung his sleeves horizontally, and with a few snaps, the spear broke and flew into the air, and the soldiers holding the gun were also sent flying.

The old man stood on the spot, stumbled and swayed a few times, fresh blood flowed out of the dense blood holes in his robe, and fresh blood flowed out of his mouth. He looked at the figure on the horse with red eyes, and then stood there to block the bearer behind him. Tianmen stopped moving.

"Step aside!"

Huang Chao waved away the guards in front of him, hurried forward to look at the motionless corpses below, looked back at the figures of several demoted officials, then looked away, and waved at the surrounding soldiers.

"Hanging to the gate of the imperial city, three days of violent corpses, warning Xiaoxiao."

A group of soldiers led the order, picked up the corpse and brought it down. After a while, Huang Chao urged his horse to trample over the corpses of eunuchs on the ground, and stepped into the Taiji Palace.

It was getting dark, Geng Qing chased to Anfumen in a carriage, but Jiuyu, who was riding forward, stopped. Before Geng Qing could speak, he turned over and suddenly knelt down on the ground, looked up at the tower, kowtowed A ringing head.

Geng Qing stood on the carriage and tried his best to look under the tower, where a figure was tied to a rope, and it was the consultant Fu who had spoken to him before.

It turned out that the old man had already made up his mind to die.

The face-to-face meeting in Ye Ting Palace before was actually an entrustment of the funeral, Geng Qing closed his eyes, went to pat Jiuyu on the shoulder, and pulled him up.

"Get up, come with me, you, Aye, asked you to come out to escort those concubines just to drive you away and let you live, understand? Come with me"

Jiuyu clenched his teeth, only a low hoarse "ho ho." sound came from his throat.

He was still pulled by Geng Qing, but his gaze was looking straight at the hanging figure until he got into the carriage and drove away, as if he couldn't accept it, he closed his eyes and passed out.

The carriage passed through the night, avoided the patrolling soldiers, and returned to Yong'an Square.
