The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 112 I have all kinds of knives in my heart
As the sun rises above the clouds, the banner with the word "Tang" falls and is thrown under the towering city wall. The outline of the palace extends from the patrolling rebel soldiers.

Boom!
The bell tolling the time from the bell tower rang, and the cavalry rushed in and out of the gate of the imperial city.

In Jiying Hall of Taiji Palace, guards stand with knives. Soldiers walk through the eaves with dishes, and turn into the open hall with rough hands and feet. The banquet is spread out, and the big round tables are filled with dishes and drinks. He is a general from the bottom, rough and heroic, and he does not hesitate too many rules.

The wine bowls and cups were intertwined, and the tall Deng Tianwang drank the bottom of the bowl in one gulp after drinking with others. He tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it; He had a fight with the old eunuch, he couldn't drink, and he was still old, so he might have smashed his internal organs with a palm. Speaking of this, he pulled Zhu Wen to sigh, saying how the palm could be exchanged for more credit.

On the Longting above the imperial steps, Huang Chao, who was in his sixties, looked at the generals at the banquet below, and smiled with satisfaction. He also had some plans for the next step in his heart. He left after looting as before, or stayed. Come down, and become an emperor in the most prosperous city in the world.

If this is the case, the previous set should be abandoned, and try to leave a group of courtiers as the foundation, and let the old brothers sit as high-ranking officials to supervise them, appease and win over nearby counties, attract refugees, and build a stable rear.

However, I had hoped that the courtiers would be left behind, but seeing Zhuang Renli bring back the body of his consort Yu Cong, he knew that some conflicts were irreconcilable.

Soon, his order was conveyed. The former Tang court officials above the fourth rank were withdrawn, and those below the fourth rank were allowed to work as usual, and they were not allowed to carry them.

It was night, the palace was brightly lit, and the bronze beast lamppost flickered with fire.

Huang Chao sent over to urge his wife, Mrs. Cao, to lie down on the dragon case and look through the old list. They are all low-level officials, and they only need to promote a few from below.

Unexpectedly, I can also have today.

The old man looked at the long list of names above, took the imperial pen from the pen holder, dipped it in cinnabar, and clicked on a few names on the list, as if he was back in the past, when others were marking his exam papers, he lightly drew a circle on it.

One of them is Geng Qing.

Then, he closed the roster and threw it aside, and stretched wearily, "I hope these people will repay their kindness and work hard for me."

Whispering, the old man put down his imperial pen and left the study, handed over the roster to the policeman waiting outside the palace, and soon galloped out of the imperial city to Menxia Province.

The night is not yet dark.

In the last rays of the sun, the city wall was majestic and majestic, and the lights of thousands of houses rose in the city. In the courtyard of Yong'an Square, everyone sat around and had dinner lively, chatting and laughing. Wipe the rice grains from the corner of his mouth, put down the bowls and chopsticks quickly, get up and add another pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"Don't eat, I'm going to eat something good later." Geng Qing stopped the little girl, tilted her head to attract the most light-handed people in the crowd, handed him a letter in her hand, gave him a few words, and then took a picture. The man asked him to go quickly, and then smiled at Dou Wei and the rest of the crowd: "Hurry up and eat more."

Wang Jinqiu didn't know what his son was going to do, so he pushed the bowl and chopsticks to him, and looked at the lonely figure under the walnut tree.

"Who is that woman you brought back? She is a bit older, you are not allowed to like someone older than you."

Bai Yunxiang raised her face subconsciously, and Wang Jinqiu gave her a blank look.

"You don't count."

The woman just pursed her lips, and buried her head back with a snickering smile; Geng Qing took the bowl and chopsticks and pushed her mother back to the seat, explained a few words casually, put some vegetables in the bowl, and walked to the courtyard Under the old tree.

As soon as the person left, Dachun quickly put down the bowl, pointed at the woman under the tree with the tip of the chopsticks, and said in a low voice: "I know, I saw Dazhu, who was carried out from the consort's mansion."

Before he finished speaking, his father knocked his head with a chopstick, and the old man looked sternly.

"Eat your food, don't talk nonsense."

"Oh." Dachun rubbed his forehead and replied weakly.

At the same time, under the walnut tree in the courtyard, the lights from the kitchen were shining over. In the dim light, Princess Guangde sat on the table and stool with her skirt on, her eyes were red and swollen, she was completely indifferent because of crying. Looking intently at the fallen leaves on the ground,
Even though she is forty years old and has experienced many ups and downs with her husband, she is still a woman and emotional.

The night wind caressed gently, and the shadows of the branches and leaves reflected in the lights swayed on the ground. Geng Qing walked over, looked at the woman's dull expression, did not say anything, and silently put the bowls and chopsticks on the stone table.

'.I'm going to get some sacrifices for the son-in-law's coffin. '

Sitting by the side for a while, Geng Qing spoke softly, looked at the time, then got up and greeted Dou Wei, Qin Huaimian, Jiuyu and others who had almost finished their meal.

Jiuyu is an eunuch, he came over and bowed to Princess Guangde, then turned around and followed Geng Qing out of the mansion gate, after a while, three carriages drove out of Yong'an Square, when they passed Taiping Square, there were carriages approaching from far away, and they stopped alternately, Inside, a figure dressed as a yamen pushed a prisoner off the carriage and handed it over to them.

"Uncle Lin, you have been wronged." Geng Qing poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it over, "The meeting, I just came to the Ministry of Punishment as an orderly, a small official, it's not easy to tell the head of Zhuang, I'm afraid that when the time comes It's a bait, and the imperial court will catch them all."

"Well, Lin understands."

When he wanted to come to the prison, he suffered a lot of torture. Lin Laien was a little slurred in his speech, and his spirit was not very good. Hearing that the rebel army entered Chang'an, and he wanted to return to Zhuangrenli, his expression was somewhat excited. After drinking the herbal tea in one gulp, he kept urging Dachun, who was driving outside, to speed up.

The carriage bumped, Geng Qing kept sitting upright, swaying slightly, and remained silent after speaking. Lin Laien had a lot to say when he released it, seeing his serious face, asked Geng Qing if he What happened?

The light from the lantern hanging on the eaves outside shone into the curtain of the car and fell on Geng Qing's face, then the light disappeared, and the car was plunged into darkness again. A smile appeared on his face, and he shook his head with a very soft voice.

"It's a small matter. Too many people died in the city, and my heart is a little heavy. Don't worry about it, Uncle Lin."

"There is no one who is immortal in a war. You are too young to see it."

Lin Laien was a little hungry, so he asked Geng Qing for some food, leaning against the carriage while eating, he said, "Bao'er is similar to you, but she has seen many dead people, so she won't care."

The burly man raised one leg, put his elbow on his knee and continued.

"In the rivers and lakes, people are killed anyway. People who die are not human. They are no different from cats or dogs. After you have experienced a lot in the future, you will become so numb."

"Uncle Xie Lin explained."

Geng Qing looked at him and nodded with a smile.

Soon, the carriage gradually stopped, and when it arrived at the place, Lin Laien opened the curtain and got out of the carriage. This is a court official's mansion, with a pair of stone lions, red painted gates on both sides, and red lanterns hanging high.

Geng Qing followed behind him, glanced at Qin Huaimian and Jiuyu who got off from the other two cars, then bowed to the rough man and made a gesture of please.

"Uncle Lin, we're here, please."

"Please please!"

The rough man here said a few words again and again, pulling Geng Qing to knock on the courtyard door excitedly.The person who opened the door was a quack man. When he saw Lin Lai'en, his face lit up with joy. He quickly opened the door and let a few people in.

"Brother Lin, go in quickly, the national teacher is waiting for you inside."

"Hahaha!"

Lin Lai'en was able to come back, so he was in no mood to say it. He clasped his fists at the man, and walked quickly to the front yard. The middle hall was full of banquets, full of Jianghu people walking back and forth, laughing, cursing and persuading them to drink, and one of the tables was still empty. .

Zhuang Renli, Tang Baoer, and the Chen family brothers sat nearby and waited for the news. Hearing Lin Laien's laughter from a distance, Tang Baoer happily turned around and shouted at the old man: "Uncle Lin is back, that liar really kept his promise. "

"Ah."

The old man caressed his long beard, and in his eyes, a figure approaching walked into the range of the lantern, and the first one was Lin Laien, one of his capable men.

"Master!"

Lin Laien walked into the middle hall, and saw the first old man sitting upright, clasped his fists heavily, knelt down on one knee, Geng Qing, Qin Huaimian and Jiuyu who followed him casually raised their hands as a gesture.

"Get up, it's good to come back, first go to the room and wash up, I have already boiled the bath water!"

Zhuang Renli was also happy to see his subordinate come back, he pulled him up, patted his shoulder, and praised several times, "Okay, okay." ' Then he sent the man to the backyard, and then he cast his eyes on Geng Qing, who served him tea, and waited for him to sit down, and the other party followed suit. This kind of etiquette satisfied the old man, and he appreciated the young man even more.

"You are fine, why don't you vote for me?"

"What the national teacher said, I can't read all the words. I can only be a little clever. I can't be regarded as a national teacher." Geng Qing blew on the tea, took a sip, and politely refused in a joking way.

After chatting casually, looking at Tang Baoer who was looking at him with her chin propped, Geng Qing got up and prepared to leave.

"The national teacher sent you."

Zhuang Renli also got up, and it was expected that he could not let this young man into his sect. Naturally, he felt a little upset. Just as he got up from the first place, Geng Qing, who had already reached the threshold, suddenly stopped and looked outside at the dark night. The sky is full of stars.

"The moon is dark and the wind is high, why does the national teacher want to put the Yellow King to death!"

Ok? !

Zhuang Renli, who was passing by, was stunned, and a group of people from the rivers and lakes who were making noise around the banquet also stopped making noise, and looked at the back of the door in surprise.

The cold moonlight shone on the courtyard, eyes seemed to be covered with silver frost, Geng Qing blinked, took two steps outside, turned around slowly, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold Looking at the old man in the middle hall.

"The king of Huang gave charity with benevolence and righteousness. It is difficult to traverse the north and south. The national teacher's selfish desires killed the great sages without permission, ruined the future of the king of Huang, and chilled the hearts of the people. He really has ulterior motives!"

Geng Qing waved his sleeves suddenly, and raised his voice: "The national teacher wants to rebel and stand on his own, take down—"

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay, some even looked at the young man outside the door like an idiot, but the next moment, there was a shrill cry from the side room not far from the backyard, hundreds of figures jumped over the courtyard wall, drew their swords and held their swords one by one come down.

Some Jianghu people on patrol drew their knives and pounced on them, and a closed knife cut out the darkness, directly chopping people to the ground.In the other directions, hundreds of police officers from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, as well as Wang Feiying and Tu Shifei held guns and whips, all of them silently walked into the area of ​​light under the eaves outside the central hall.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes fixed on all the Jiang Hu people inside.
