Merry Eunuch Lang

The little eunuch led his [-] horses to travel day and night, running wildly all the way, and soon saw the outline of the capital.Pan You'an got off his horse and ordered his soldiers to leave the city for twenty miles and set up camp on the spot.The second general of the Tong family was puzzled and asked:

"The commander-in-chief didn't come home when he arrived at the door, why?"

The little eunuch said with a smile: "A major event happened in the court, and the life and death of General Tong and the Empress Dowager are unknown. If we rush into the city in a hurry and are taken down in a daze, who will argue the grievances between the old general and the Empress Dowager?"

Tong's second general suddenly realized, nodded and praised: "The commander is wise, the last general has learned."

The little eunuch told the second general to restrain the army and horses and hand over all the important items he brought with him to the second general, saying: "You two generals have worked hard, now I want to go back to the imperial city alone to find out the truth. If there is nothing wrong, I will go out of the city immediately to meet the army Entering the city, if you don’t return at this time tomorrow, there must be something wrong, and you will immediately send troops to surround the city gates on all sides, waving flags and shouting, beating drums and beating gold. I will stop before I come forward, otherwise I will die, please remember the essentials, the two generals."

The second general of the Tong family clasped his fists together and said, "I will obey your orders and nothing will be lost."

The little eunuch rode a tall horse and led dozens of guards into the city with high spirits.

Outside the gate of Suzaku, there are lights and festoons, and three large characters of "Arch of Triumph" are written on it.The ten mile long street was crowded with people, and the welcome crowd saw that there was only one handsome young general with thirty or fifty entourages behind him.After watching for a long time, no one came up, so they all murmured together:

"Don't you say you won the battle? Why are there so few people left? Could it be..."

"Don't look at the young general who leads the army. There are five people and six people riding on the horse. He is actually a eunuch with missing parts and four limbs. Is a man who has no command so arrogant?" Someone knew the details and started in the crowd Little broadcast.

"The eunuch can lead the army to fight? He's still a child. Isn't this wrong to the country, the people, and the army? Which bastard came up with such a bad idea?" People began to yell and curse.

"Fifty out of 10 people came back. This is also called a victory. How can they return in triumph? Let the ghosts go!"

The little emperor rode on a dragon chariot and led all the civil and military officials to greet him outside the gate of Wuchao. The little eunuch hurriedly got off his horse and prostrated himself on the ground, shouting:

"Long live my emperor, my minister, Pan You'an, has ordered the suppression of the invaders, and has kept the captives away thousands of miles away. Now the teacher of Zuo Kai is returning to Beijing, and he is here to see my lord."

The little emperor hurriedly got out of the chariot and went down to the ground. He danced happily and said, "Little eunuch, my brother misses you so much!"

The two were holding hands, the little emperor put one hand on the little eunuch's shoulder, the two of them crossed their waists and put their backs together, all the ministers at the back saw the emperor walking, so they had no choice but to get out of their sedan chairs and follow behind, and everyone returned to the court.The little eunuch bowed down again, and the little emperor waved his hand and said:

"Forget it, forget it, where do you come from with so many etiquettes? Emperor brother, please be at peace. Since you left, the mother and queen have also been lost, and the harem has to go back. Apart from eating, there is nothing else to do. My stomach hurts after eating too much Doudou , I’ve been too lazy to eat anymore. It’s good that you come, we two brothers will sleep together tonight. Come, pass on my will, and the Hongguang Hall will hold a celebration banquet..."

"Wait a minute!" Wen Shichang, the new minister of the Ministry of War, came out of the generals, first knelt down and kowtowed, then got up and said, "Long live my emperor, Your Majesty, now that the war is over, General Pan should surrender his military power first when he returns to the court."

The little emperor said: "Quick play." Then he turned to the little eunuch and said, "My brother, where is your military power? Leave it to me first!"

The little eunuch went out of duty and said: "The soldiers and horses set up camp twenty miles away from the city, and the seal of the commander of the soldiers is still at the second general of the Tong family."

"Nonsense!" It was the old minister Wang Shugui who spoke, Prime Minister Wang didn't kneel and kowtow, and the emperor didn't even look at it.He walked up to the little eunuch carelessly, pointed at his nose and cursed, "The soldiers and horses have won the battle, and the soldiers are eager to go home to visit their parents, brothers, wives and children, but you let them camp in the wilderness without authorization. Tens of thousands of young people gathered together, Can you guarantee that they will not cause trouble? If a mutiny is caused, can you afford it? Also, you clearly despise the imperial court and don't take the emperor seriously. What kind of item is the soldier talisman seal that my emperor personally bestowed on you? You put such an important thing in the hands of someone who is inseparable even for a moment. If the two of you have ulterior motives and rebellion, what will happen? According to your crime, it will be difficult to kill you ten times Escape the blame. Do you still have the face to go to the emperor to beg for a celebration banquet? In addition, it is reported that someone said that you privately ordered the people in Rongbian without the court's resolution. Have you ever thought about it, the border general, but after the court's discussion , Your Majesty personally decides that you, a castrated little eunuch, dare to make decisions privately and appoint an incomprehensible martial artist to take on this important task. Aren't you playing tricks on the emperor's trust in you, and making fun of Jiangshan Sheji?"

The little eunuch was not afraid at this time, but couldn't help but secretly admired the entrustment of his master Meng Lang and Meng Boxiong before he left. If he led troops into the city in a hurry and was deprived of his military power, his head fell to the ground in an instant. No way of knowing miles!

Prime Minister Wang was filled with righteous indignation and impassioned, the more he spoke, the more excited he became, the more he spoke, the more vigorous he was, verbal criticism, spittle like a little rain, the little finger ball kept dangling up and down the bridge of the little eunuch's nose.However, people are old and frail, and there are many women around them. It is not uncommon for the hardwood to be chopped with an axe, and sometimes unable to bear it.Besides, I had suffered from bronchitis in the early years, how could my bones withstand such tossing, and I couldn't hold back my loud coughing after a while.The court hall is huge, and the empty valley echoes like it, making the ears and doors of all civil and military officials in the court itchy.It doesn't matter if the officials are concerned, they are afraid that the emperor will get angry and show off his power.Unexpectedly, looking up at the dragon chair, the little emperor may have eaten a few more peas the night before, or he is not very interested in the matter in front of him, and he is still sitting with his eyes closed to rest his mind!Prime Minister Wang opened his mouth wide and coughed loudly, not because he was blocked by his tongue, but he was about to cough up two taels of flesh.Seeing this, several important ministers couldn't bear it, and hurried over. At this time, they didn't care about Chaogang Chaoji, Chaofeng Chaoyi, and helped him beat his chest and stroked his back.It took a long time for the old man Wang to let go of this tone, waved his hands to let several colleagues return to work, and then he turned his back to the little emperor and said:

"Long live my emperor, I think that Pan You'an committed the great crime of deceiving the emperor and the country, and should be beaten to death with a stick. However, there is still a mess of accounts that have not been settled, so he will be put in prison for death, and he will be convicted after being interrogated in Dali Temple."

The little emperor had just dozed off, drowsily listening to the old prime minister rambling on for a long time, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he heard the prime minister saying that he wanted to take down Pan You'an.He wondered if he had misheard, shook his head and asked again:

"What does Lao Aiqing imply that the celebration banquet will not be held?"

"The celebration banquet is a celebration banquet. What the old minister means is to arrest Pan You'an first and put him on death row."

"Why are you arresting him? Come back from such a long distance, I still need him to sleep with me tonight!"

"Sleeping is a small matter, but national security is a major matter. The emperor's bedroom is accompanied by queens, concubines, and countless court ladies. What's the point of sleeping with a little eunuch in his arms?"

"I want to sleep with him!" The little emperor shouted stubbornly. "When the queen mother was here, he was the one who slept with the queen mother every day. Now that the queen mother is not in the palace, it is my turn. Besides, some people say that he has no children." Chicken, some people say that he has a penis, tonight I will personally check his body to see if he has a penis or not?"

"No!" Prime Minister Wang said sternly, bluffing his face, "Your Majesty should put state affairs first, and not play childish temper. Pan You'an is a key criminal in the court. If he is allowed to go unpunished, it will be a crime and irresponsible to the people of the country and the country. Responsibility. Your Majesty, please issue an order quickly, and first arrest Pan You'an and put him in jail."

The little emperor looked at Prime Minister Wang's expression, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Since old Aiqing insists on arresting her, let's arrest her! After a long time of tossing, I'm hungry, and I'm still anxiously waiting for the celebration meal." Banquet!" After that, the little emperor said to the little eunuch in embarrassment, "My brother, don't blame me for this, I will go to the death row to see you in a few days!"
