The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 757 Killing Eagle ([-])

After hearing this, Yin Si quickly denied, "How can this be? This trip is the emperor's order. If you leave without saying goodbye, the emperor will be angry?"

Liang Jiugong smiled flatteringly and said: "That depends on whether Ba Ye is willing to give up his heart for the good concubine."

Yinsi looked at him with frowned eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"Last year, the emperor ordered Baye to negotiate with the Tsarist Russian envoys about the purchase of muskets. Baye did a great job. Not only did he get a reward from the emperor, but the Tsarist Russian envoy also sent Baye two very good-looking ones in private. Good Haidongqing. The eighth master regards the two Haidongqings as the love of his heart, and he will take them for a walk in the courtyard every day when he is free in the palace."

Liang Jiugong gradually lowered his voice: "Ba Ye likes it, and the emperor also likes it, but the emperor doesn't say anything. You must know that Haidongqing has always been known as the 'God of Eagles', and it is the highest totem symbol of our Manchu. Things are rare. They are expensive, there are only a dozen of them raised in the palace, and in terms of appearance, they can't even compare with half of the Eighth Master's residence."

Yin Si paced back and forth for a while, hesitated and said: "Elder-in-law also knows that Hai Dongqing is my king's true love, my king."

"Baye, think about it carefully." Liang Jiugong waved the net whip in his hand, interrupting Yinsi's words: "It is precisely because it is your true love that it seems that you treat the emperor with all your heart, and even your true love can be parted. Besides, , that sea dongqing is the "god of eagles" and the emperor is the "lord of all peoples", which is very fitting. You keep two divine birds that are even better than the emperor's keeping of the sea dongqing in the palace. Didn't you just cause trouble for yourself? It's just that no one mentions this matter now. The next day, someone got a bad idea and linked this matter with imperial power, saying that you are coveting the throne, so that's why you said that The two Haidongqings stay in your mansion to take care of them, so that the 'God of Eagles' can bring you the blessing of 'Lord of People', how can this be good?"

"Nonsense!" Yinsi reprimanded angrily, "When did this king have such disobedience?"

Liang Jiugong bowed his waist to apologize, his eyes suddenly fixed, and he said in a deep voice: "Look, the servant just said a few words casually, and then he elicited Ba Ye's 'heart of disobedience'. You think so, what about the emperor?"

The two faced each other in silence for a long time.

Liang Jiugong clearly saw Yinsi's complexion turn livid, and whispered in his ear: "If you are a slave, you should throw this hot potato out immediately, so as not to bury yourself in danger."

Yin Si pondered for a long time, and then said to Liang Jiugong: "Then, Father Lao will deal with Huang Ama for the king, and after returning to the capital, he will immediately order someone to send the two Hai Dongqings to Huang Ama. !"

Liang Jiugong slapped a thousand children and said: "It is a blessing for a slave to be able to work on behalf of the eighth master and the emperor. Besides, this matter is a matter of joy for both sides. If the slave is done well, he may be able to get the emperor's approval. The slave is invincible." pleasure."

Yin Si nodded at him, turned around and walked quickly.

As soon as he left, Liang Jiugong let out a long breath, and raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead.

"My father-in-law's memory is really excellent."

There was a female voice coming from behind a large wooden pillar, seeing that it was Shuang Ruo who came out with a smile, and went to Liang Jiugong's side to give a blessing, and said: "Your Majesty is still afraid that I will say so many things to my father-in-law at once, and my father-in-law doesn't remember well. .”

"Oh my dear Aunt Shuangruo, if you don't make a point of saying this, it's a big deal to lose your head! How dare this servant make fun of your own head?"

"Don't worry, father-in-law, your head will stand on your neck for a long time." Shuang Ruo frowned, and said calmly, "Eunuch knows what to do about it later?"

Liang Jiugong showed a look of horror, and said timidly: "I know, but I'm also terribly afraid. If the matter really angered the emperor, after investigation, it will be found that the slaves did it, then..."

Shuang Ruo interrupted his words with a chuckle: "Elder-in-law just do it, and our empress will arrange the rest. If the empress can let you do it, she can save your life. If you think about it carefully, if you are involved , can the empress herself choose cleanly?"

Liang Jiugong wiped off his sweat again, bowed his hands to Shuangruo, and said, "Please tell the concubine De, the slave will live up to the entrustment of the empress, and do my best to do the job well."

On the second day, Liang Jiugong informed the emperor about Yinsi's return to pay homage to the concubine Liang. The emperor knew that he was filial and did not reprimand him, and ordered the team to go to Rehe as usual.

About seven or eight days later, the eunuch Yin Si sent to send the eagle caught up with Yu Jia.

According to Yinsi's request, the inner eunuch first went to Liang Jiugong secretly to find out the emperor's mind, Liang Jiugong raised his airs, cleared his throat and said, "Eighth Lord left without saying goodbye, do you think the emperor can still be happy?"

The inner eunuch smiled and said: "Master Liang takes care of us slaves, and understands that we are all working on behalf of the master. Please also please speak a few words of kindness in front of the emperor for the eighth master. Your kindness will always be indispensable."

As he said, he took out a round jade bead made of pure gold from his sleeve and pressed it in Liang Jiugong's hand: "Eunuch weighs this weight, as Eighth Master said, when Eunuch returns to the palace, the happy money will be several times more than this. "

Liang Jiugong's eyes dripped and he looked around, he secretly stuffed the huge golden bead into his arms, and then he calmed down and said: "It's done, the eighth master and the chief manager have always been on good terms, so I can take care of everything for him " He looked at the accompanying carriage behind the prisoner, coughed twice deliberately, and said in a solemn voice: "What about Hai Dongqing?"

The inner eunuch opened the curtain of the carriage with a smile, and saw that there were two huge birdcages covered with pitch-black curtains. He gently lifted the black curtains with one foot: "Look, father-in-law, it's alive."

Liang Jiugong took a look, and saw that Haidongqing was one meter tall. Although his wings were confined in the cage and could not be fully spread, his majestic majesty was not restrained by the bird cage at all, and he was quite a bit of an eight-banner.That Haidongqing has pure white jade claws, which are very different from those yellow and three-year dragons raised in the palace.The head feathers are white with brown spots, and the upper body is dark gray; the chest is brownish red with brown spots, and the tail is pure white; the beak is thick and long, and only the upper part of the tarsus is feathered, and the beak and claws are as hard as iron hooks. The birdcage was completely damaged.

Just watching, one of them uttered a shrill cry, the sound was as loud as a bell, and the birds in the forest fluttered their wings.

It suddenly uttered such a voice, which frightened Liang Jiugong for a moment. He clutched his chest and took a few steps back, staggering and falling to the ground.

The inner eunuch hurriedly covered the black curtain, and stepped forward to help Liang Jiugong: "Elder, please slow down."

Liang Jiugong stood up with his strength, pushed him away, brushed off the dust on his body, and said, "Come on, this is for the emperor, I have to check it carefully. You go and wait, someone will come looking for you when it is done. "

The eunuch responded, and went obediently.

After the people left, Liang Jiugong opened the curtain again and looked at the two strange birds carefully.

But he didn't want the bird to lose his temper when he saw it, thumping violently in the cage, and the broken feathers flew all over the sky, choking Liang Jiugong to cough again and again.

He spat at Hai Dongqing, covered his mouth and nose and cursed viciously: "Look how long you can be so arrogant, you bastard!"
