The devil is coming

Chapter 830 Prince Jingnan...accepts the order
The brave beast that originally rode out of the capital had stretched its crotch midway.
Eunuch Huang had also changed horses several times at the inn and finally crossed Wangjiang River. However, he did not go to Yupan City, which was famous all over the world at the time for selling gold. Now it is gradually regaining its vitality and has regained a third of its original atmosphere. Instead, he settled in one breath. After missing Yupan City, we arrived at a village and town east of Yupan City and stopped to rest.
In fact, you shouldn’t take a break.
As long as a person is alive, he must continue to move forward bumpily. After all, putting his own agenda at hand is a "military matter" in the true sense, and there must be no delay at all.
But the problem is that Eunuch Huang's lower abdomen hurts so much, it's like someone is stabbing him back and forth with a needle, and his face is pale and there is not much blood left;
With the possibility of sudden death visible to the naked eye, Eunuch Huang had no choice but to follow the advice of his subordinates and rest next to this village for the night.
The imperial edict is very important, but if the eunuch who announces the edict suddenly dies midway, who do you want to let him announce the edict?
This will also affect the sanctity and even effectiveness of the imperial edict.
After all, it is really not difficult to forge an imperial edict. It can even be said to be very simple. What is difficult is that it is difficult for you to forge the person who declares the edict.
This person has a rank, a status recognized by everyone, and the qualifications to match this imperial edict. First recognize the person, and then recognize the content of the imperial edict after recognizing the person.
For example, if you ask an old man from a farm to appear in front of dignitaries with a genuine imperial edict, will they recognize him?
Here, within the imperial court, a strict system of confrontation has long been formed.
Therefore, Eunuch Huang himself is also part of the imperial edict.
It’s not that he was afraid of death, cherished his life, or was exhausted, but it was because of the emperor’s order that he had to save his own life before announcing the decree.
There was a small military fort in the village where I settled, and there was a planned military garrison area surrounding the military fort. Moreover, the village and town were very strict about the review of outsiders. However, after verifying their identities, the commander of the military fort took the initiative to The small courtyard of my house was freed up for Eunuch Huang and others to live in.
Eunuch Huang was put on the bed by his subordinates. He came out in a hurry. Without the imperial doctor, it was impossible to prepare all the medicinal materials. However, he brought a lot of pills to replenish his energy for the long journey, but the problem is that although this thing is not It was said to be medicine, but when Eunuch Huang first started to get sick, he fed him two pills. The pain immediately became worse, and the people below did not dare to feed him any more.
After the chief learned about it, he called for an old soldier. The old soldier came over to take a look, and then found some herbs and started decoction.
Eunuch Huang, who had been lying in bed for an hour, waited for a bowl of green concoction to arrive. Before he drank it, he smelled an extremely pungent fishy smell. However, Eunuch Huang was not a hypocritical person, so he pinched his nose and took a sip. Bored and clean.
After lying down for another half an hour, hey, it doesn’t hurt anymore!
A waiter went to ask the old soldier for the prescription. The old soldier explained: In this village, whoever has a headache, brain fever, nose, mouth, or ears, even if he breaks his leg or something, he will cook it like this. medicine;
If you drink it, it will help you. If it doesn't help, go to a nearby big town to see a doctor. The garrison soldiers in the military villages have registered permanent residence, and those who do not have registered permanent residence will be the same. Just use the soldier's identity to go to the doctor and get medicine, and it doesn't cost any money. The palace will take care of it.
When the waiter heard this, he temporarily forgot the purpose of asking questions and said in surprise:
"Wouldn't it be deceiving the palace by pretending like this?"
The old pawn smiled and said, "Of course you can't use it as much as you can. If you use it too much, something will happen, and the superiors will investigate it. That is, you need to have a close relationship to allow others to use it."
"What about the medicine just now?" the waiter asked again.
"Didn't I say it before? I don't know what use it is. Most of the problems in this world can be solved by drinking medicine. The remaining three or three can be cured by a real doctor. What you can see is actually just folding it in half and then folding it in half again. If the Lord of Hell really wants to take your life, your life will be gone no matter what.
I, the head of Guizhou Province, basically have this attitude towards illness. If you can bear it, bear it, and endure it. If you are younger, go find a doctor to try if you really can't do it. For older people, if your family members are willing to ask a doctor, don't wait. It is said that even the elderly themselves will refuse to receive treatment. When they get older, if they don’t bother with it anymore, it will be gone.
I just became a bidder and had this guarantee, so I don't know how many young people are waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the prince to issue an order to recruit troops to fight. "
The waiter nodded and understood that his godfather did not meet some country master, but that his godfather was lucky and his illness subsided.
Seeing that the waiter stopped talking,
The old soldier said: "We are going to fight."
"Ah?" The waiter was just lost in thought.
The old soldier smiled "haha", with both disdain and pride on his face, and said: "The guys in the west are careless and defeated. No, we will count on our prince next.
I am too old to go to the battlefield, but the young children of the villagers are all looking forward to it.
These days, we are not the first group of messengers like you to land here. As you can see, the people over there are panicking, haha. "
The old soldier obviously didn't know the identity of this team of messengers, and just thought they were people sent by other prefects to deliver messages here.
After the chief officer learned the identity of the eunuch who announced the decree, he was also asked not to tell anyone around him and was only allowed to pass the news to the rear.
Therefore, in the eyes of the old soldier, these people are rich and noble, and their status is extraordinary, but after all, they have nothing to do with him. In the land of Eastern Jin, at the feet of the prince, there is no need to be humble and curry favor with outsiders. I don’t even have this awareness.
The waiter returned to the house and reported the truth.
When Eunuch Huang heard this, he smiled and said, "After all, it is your Majesty who has blessed me, this slave."
Everyone around him responded.
Actually, this is because Third Master is not here. If Third Master was here, he would take out his scissors and say, come on, you have acute appendicitis, right? Third Master will cut it off for you. It’s a minor operation, just like cutting off a bract;
What, you don’t know what kind of skin that is?Then Third Master, I will help you cut off the skin that is in the way. Hey, do you have skin?
"When I left the capital, the atmosphere in the capital was very depressing. When I first arrived in Shanxi, the area in western Shanxi was very turbulent, and there were even rumors that the Qian-Chu coalition forces were going to break into Nanmen Pass.
When we arrived in Jinzhong, things were better in Yingdu. Prefect Xu was indeed a capable man, everything was in order, and the auxiliary soldiers, food, grass and civilians were already preparing.
Tell me, everyone’s surname is Xu, why is our Imperial Envoy Xu Qingshan such a loser? "
Eunuch Huang is the master of the palace, so he is naturally well-informed. Even when he is talking to several of his attendants, he will never step on anyone easily.
But Eunuch Huang knew very well that the imperial envoy had already taken advantage of His Majesty before and had done a poor job. It should not have been difficult to take back part of the local military power with the general trend. He couldn't boil a frog in warm water. He had to make such a fuss. As big as the battles and right and wrong;
Anyone who can be sent out as an imperial envoy cannot be a fool. The reason why he does this is because he is anxious to show off.
Originally, what was waiting for Xu Qingshan was to be transferred back to Beijing to be refrigerated. After being labeled as "unfavorable" in his official career, it would be difficult to achieve anything in the future;
But what will happen to him once this incident occurs, haha...
Eunuch Huang said with some relief:
"Fortunately, after entering Jindong, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the palace is still high, and our family's hearts have also calmed down.
This actually doesn't matter. When the late Emperor was here, it was not that we, Dayan, had never lost battles. It doesn't matter if we lose, we just have to win and come back. When the time comes, our face will still be in our hands.
The late emperor had Prince Jingnan and Prince Zhenbei, and our Majesty also has Prince Pingxi.
From our perspective, the current situation is nothing more than the fact that the two countries of Qian and Chu are unwilling to surrender to the general trend and want to fight to the death. Let’s ask Prince Pingxi to come out and teach them how to behave. "
Eunuch Huang knew that there were other voices in the capital, such as asking the eldest prince, Qing Shuang, or even Li Liangshen and other generals to take command to stabilize the situation at Nanmen Pass, because the Marquis of Pingxi was already King Pingxi, and if he asked King Pingxi to come out, Then King Pingxi is really directly equivalent to the status of King Jingnan back then.
However, the involvement here is really too great, because no matter how much they object to King Pingxi's self-proclaimed ministers or the ministers who are truly loyal and worried that the vassal town will completely take power for the sake of imperial power, they have to admit that Dayan has the highest prestige at the moment. , the person most capable of handling this situation is King Pingxi.
Moreover, if we continue to clamor to recommend other candidates to Nanmen Pass at this time, if the matter is handled well, we will still say that if it is not handled well, none of those who are making noise at this time will be able to escape afterwards.
This is gambling with one's own wealth. After all, there are only a few ministers who are willing to take advantage of it in a moment of enthusiasm.
Moreover, a large number of officials still hold the mature view that it is best to let Prince Pingxi come out to stabilize the situation first, so as not to cause any more trouble.
Things in the Liang Kingdom are easy to say. If we really want to cause chaos in western Shanxi and even the entire Three Jins, if the land of the Three Jins that the late emperor finally conquered is lost again, everyone will become the sinner of Dayan. .
"It doesn't hurt anymore, let's continue on our way."
Eunuch Huang got up.
The waiters below did not dare to persuade him any further and immediately packed up their things and informed the guards outside.
After leaving Shi Chang's house and getting on his horse, Eunuch Huang shouted:
"Your Majesty, the slave is here again!"
...
"Prince...slave...slave...slave...slave...is here..."
When we came here, it was a hard journey, but we were also very high-spirited;
In my mind, I longed for the heroism like when I personally charged and killed an enemy during the Battle of Fan City;
All the beauty,
When we finally entered Fengxin City,
Finally arrived in front of the palace,
Looking at the palace gate that was still closed after the announcement,
Looking at the two stone lions at the door that had been wiped clean and still shiny,
Eunuch Huang shouted almost plaintively.
Do not,
Do not,
Don't treat our family like this!
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, our family doesn’t want it, our family doesn’t want it!
Eunuch Huang knelt on the ground, holding the imperial edict seal box in his hand.
At the entrance of the palace, guards in brocade clothes stood with swords in their hands. On the outside, a group of people were watching, blocking the place.
When the blind man was in Shengle City, he began to recruit storytellers, and the performance method in the form of drama had long been popular in eastern Shanxi, and even a branch was opened in Yupan City;
Because the blind man knows the essence of the propaganda high ground that if you don’t occupy it, others will occupy it;
during this time,
In Fengxin City, Xuehaiguan and Zhennanguan, two areas where there are also military and civilian settlements, propagandists have publicized the "whole story" of the matter in teahouses, social operas and other stages in accordance with the spirit of the blind man's instructions.
However, you can’t say that the blind man is causing trouble again, because the blind man really just publicized the “truth.”
There was a quarrel between the imperial envoy appointed by the emperor and Yi Shanbo from Sushan camp over power;
After the rebellion broke out in Liang Dynasty, the emperor personally promoted the commander-in-chief... Ran Min;
Ran Min also added character touches here, such as the fact that he did not hesitate to kill his wife in order to curry favor with the superior;
Moreover, the blind man also did artistic processing and happened to do it correctly, just like "The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan." As if Sima Gong was the hoe, the blind man added to Ran Min: King Pingxi can do it, Min can do it, too. for!
Ran Min was really not wronged in this matter, and since this man's life and death was unknown now, he would most likely have died in the battle. Even if he had not died, it would be impossible for him to be able to recover from his sin this time.
After all, his surname is not Ji, and others are not as lucky as the eldest prince.
Therefore, for such people, just stamp them out and label them as villains!
The whole story is that there was a conflict between the imperial envoy personally selected by the emperor and Yishanbo, who was really good at fighting. Yishanbo had to stay at home. The commander-in-chief promoted by the emperor was a loser. He actually thought he could compare with his own prince, and ended up greedy for credit. If you rush forward, you will be ambushed;
The loyal general Li Fusheng, in order to rescue him, was besieged by the Qianchu allied forces. After fighting for many days, he died for his country.
What will the court do next?
We must invite our great prince to come out!
This is the theme of the story,
Teahouses, restaurants, theaters, and even the ladies in the red tents all publicized this "experience" to the people over and over again.
There are several major elements to ensure a wonderful story.
The villain in the traditional sense, well, if in the land of Yan, the Yan people have very deep feelings for the Emperor of the Ji family, but it can also be changed to the emperor. It is those prime ministers or ministers who deceived the Holy Emperor, but In the land of Jin, Jin people did not have much awe or affection for the Ji family emperor.
In short, the emperor is the big villain behind the scenes, the imperial envoy and General Ran are the two real villains in reality, and General Li Fusheng and General Li are the victims used to earn tears and sympathy and deepen the sadness and indignation of the story.
Contradictions are very prominent, emotions are exaggerated and very strong;
The most important thing is to have fun,
That is what the people of Jin like to watch most when listening to stories and watching social dramas. Their own prince appears at the critical moment and defeats all opponents. The people look forward to this ending every time and then burst into loud cheers.
The back of this story is:
Just wait, just watch,
Those losers from the imperial court have to come and beg our prince to come out in the end!
Therefore,
When Eunuch Huang changed into eunuch clothes before entering the city, and the ceremonial guard was also displayed before entering the city, he suddenly found that the people immediately gathered towards him, and gathered all the way until he came to the front of Pingxi Prince's Mansion.
If Eunuch Huang hadn't come to Fengxin City for the first time, he might have thought that the people here were extremely eager to feel the power of God.
of course,
Now Eunuch Huang has no time to think about this.
He felt aggrieved,
He feels very sad,
he wants to cry
And she was already crying to tears.
Our family was not mentally prepared, our family did not expect it at all;
Many of our colleagues who are of the same age as ours are envious of the fact that the emperor who took over the imperial edict from King Jingnan last time did not die in the end, but instead rose to prominence;
But who knows, I still have to make up for what I owe!
Oh my god,
It would be better to die on the road. If your head hits a stone lion, it will really hurt.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty~~~"
...
Behind the gate of the palace,
Chen Daole and He Chunlai stood there, while the blind man sat on the steps, peeling oranges and educating the two children:
"This move is not to follow Prince Jingnan, nor is it for our Lord to show his prestige. Well, our Lord may have this need, but Prince Jingnan would not do such boring things back then.
The reason why the two eunuchs who announced the decree were killed on the stone lions was a kind of catharsis in itself, to help the soldiers who died in Wangjiang to vent their grievances.
The late emperor deliberately did not let King Jingnan take command, but chose the eldest prince to take command, and the battle was ultimately defeated;
This tone must be announced, otherwise it will be difficult to lead the next troops.
Just like now, the local control of local governance by military leaders that started last year has been intensified this year, and the imperial envoy and Yishanbo have caused trouble.
Yi Shanbo himself also made mistakes, maybe even bigger ones, but when there is a real fight, those Qiu Ba will be used. You have to make them feel that you are on their side, and you have to help them express this tone.
The eunuch who announces the decree is the emperor's face. This is called slapping the emperor's face to show to those Qiu Ba.
In this way, everyone can feel at ease, and at the same time, you can take this opportunity to establish your authority and show that you don't even obey the emperor's will. The local military chiefs and local officials below will be like rabbits when they see you. It’s not easy to get along with anyone, so I’ll naturally serve you wholeheartedly. "
He Chunlai and Chen Daole listened and nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice, and were deeply impressed.
At this time, Chen Daole asked: "Your Majesty will let that father-in-law do this..."
When the blind man heard this, he threw the orange at Chen Daole. When He Chunlai saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It would be great if that were the case."
If he could really be as merciless as King Jingnan, his blind man's long-cherished wish would probably be realized very soon.
It's a pity that the Lord is not like this.
If a red-robed eunuch with an unfamiliar face comes, then he will be killed by a collision, and the Lord will not take it seriously.
But the Lord has dealt with Eunuch Huang several times in Yanjing City and also in Jin. Eunuch Huang is also very good. Although he cannot advance, he is very good at licking.
Most likely, the Lord will not.
However, it doesn't seem pretty if you insist that the Lord become like King Jingnan. At least for demon kings like you, life will lose its charm.
sometimes,
The blind man himself will also fall into this kind of hesitation and contradiction. Maybe this is the collision between career ambition and life ambition.
But think about it differently, this is like a family. There must be one person who understands the taste of life, and at the same time, there must be another person who cares about tea, rice, oil and salt, so that the life can be comfortable and stable.
If it is the former, then the life will not last long; if it is the latter, the life will be boring.
It's like the Lord can be as true to his heart as he wants, and it's fine to be a pair of white gloves by himself. Anyway, I have no interest in being a good person.
immediately,
The blind man smiled, stood up, and bowed slightly.
...
Eunuch Huang stopped crying, his tears had dried up;
Eunuch Huang stopped shouting and his voice became hoarse;
He began to take off his hat while looking at the two stone lions to see which one was more pleasing to the eye. Maybe it could give him some tenderness when he was about to die.
Seal the box and put it aside.
The eunuch uniform was also taken off, and even the boots were placed beside him.
The guards brought by Eunuch Huang did not stop him, but Eunuch Huang's waiters were prostrate on the ground one by one, crying heartbrokenly.
As a slave of the emperor, this is what you deserve and what you should do.
If the imperial edict cannot be promulgated, there is no reason for you to come back alive.
The people watching on the periphery also held their breath at this time, waiting for the next moment;
Eunuch Huang, who was dressed in white, first kowtowed three times toward the west of Yanjing City, and then kowtowed twice toward the palace;
At last,
Eunuch Huang, who had already accepted his fate, took a few steps back.
A little bit of sesame oil and rape blossoms,
The one on the right is selected.
I don’t know which unlucky guy will take over from me and hit the left side, hehe.
Eunuch Huang pulled his hair, started to accumulate strength, and then charged!
"Squeak..."
The door of the palace opened.
this moment,
Thanks to Eunuch Huang's practice of qi refining, his reaction was sharper than ordinary people's. He immediately turned on his toes and lost his position. Instead of hitting the stone lion, he fell onto the steps with a "pop" , and rolled back.
The forehead, arms, and skin were bruised and broken in several places.
around,
The royal guards knelt down,
On the periphery, the people gathered here also knelt down.
Huang Eunuch, who was in a state of confusion, seemed to have been injected with chicken blood at this moment.
He crossed his legs but forcibly raised his neck and raised his head;
King Pingxi, dressed in black armor, walked out of his palace.
On Xuan Jia's shoulders, there are white decorative tassels hanging, symbolizing the supremacy and sanctity of royal power;
But in the eyes of Huang Eunuch,
The image that seemed to have been forgotten a few years ago but has been imprinted in my mind resurfaced again;
It's still the two stone lions, still the same steps, still surrounded by inhumane guards who won't kneel in the face of imperial edicts.
The palace gate is still opened at this time,
It was still the man who walked out with supreme majesty;
Even the white tassels of the armor that were fluttering gently in the wind also vaguely looked at the flowing white hair of the former one.
and even,
Look bigger,
The country is still in difficulty,
Still counting on the Holy One,
The whole country is still looking forward to it.
To Eunuch Huang at this time, the annual rings of time were like a naughty child. After moving forward a few times, they were moved back to the original point;
After a difficult journey, suffering from illness and great joy, Eunuch Huang fell into a trance.
But he had to be stimulated to fulfill his responsibilities,
next moment,
He actually shouted:
"Prince Jingnan... accept the order!"
