Chapter 128 Pushed

"The family has a poor foundation, just a leg of lamb, and we don't have enough to eat. What's the point of fighting over it?"

In the Imperial Study Room,

Wei Zhonghe He was reading Zheng Fan's words word by word.

There is a slight delay, but not the slightest difference. His left ear is also trembling slightly. It can be said to be "synchronous sound transmission", and even the tone of voice is simulating. Zheng Fan.

Ji Runhao tore off a piece of mutton and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly, and said:

"This kid is quite interesting. No wonder Cheng Jue would play with him."

Ji Chengjue,

is the name of the sixth prince.

"Your Majesty, this boy is very thoughtful, and I like him very much."

This is the second time Wei Zhonghe has said this today, which means that he is serious. Some admire Zheng Fan and feel that Zheng Fan is very suitable for life in the palace.

The palace's ecology was originally a breeding ground for poisonous insects. The great eunuchs who could climb up from the lower eunuchs step by step all had very scheming and sophisticated methods.

But the palace is not a battlefield after all, nor is it a world. The identity of an eunuch is inherently incomplete, not even a human being, and everything must depend on his master.

Therefore, the ability to please the master is the first ability for a eunuch to survive in the palace.

At this point, Wei Zhonghe is very optimistic about Zheng Fan.

To be able to win the favor of the Sixth Prince, the Marquis of Jingnan, and now the Marquis of Zhenbei, even His Majesty said he was interesting.

In addition, the scene during the day when Zheng Fan used a scabbard to cripple the third prince's limbs really allowed Wei Zhonghe to see the madness and cruelty buried deep in Zheng Fan's heart.

Oh,

This kind of person is really born to be a eunuch.

In the world of martial arts, it is equivalent to the innate perfect body of a martial artist and the foundation of Qi for a Qi refiner.

Unfortunately, Wei Zhonghe also knew that he probably had no chance to cut off Zheng Fan’s penis so that Zheng Fan could recognize him as his godfather.

If the two princes knew that they had cut off the descendants of the generals they admired, hiss...

"Oh, this is interesting, you bastard likes it. He, Wu Jing, has made it clear that he wants to support him, and now Liang Ting is also obviously interested in this kid.

This kid is really a hot commodity, and he is very popular. ”

"How can it be possible? No matter where he is, isn't this boy one of your Majesty's? The Marquis of Zhenbei wants to lift him up, but it's hard to say whether this boy will agree. After all, the Marquis of Jingnan treats him very well.< /p>

But no matter what, as soon as your majesty opens your mouth, this boy will not immediately kneel down in front of your majesty."

"I will destroy my son? Don't mind, do you think he doesn't mind?"

"This..."

"It's so good that I have to use it on the edge. This kid is from Beifeng. Earlier, They should also be the talents of Li Liangting’s Zhenbei Army.Yes, how did Wujing get the upper hand? "

"Back to His Majesty, the servant went to check his resume. At first, he was promoted by the princess because he made military exploits when he was a civilian husband and beheaded the leader of the Shatuo tribe.

But what the princess mentioned was just the captain of the school protecting merchants. She said he was under the Zhenbei Army, but it was nothing more than an idle job in name only.

Later, the imperial court intended to transfer Bei Guan to the south, so this boy was sent to guard the fortress in Yinlang County. "

"Where are you going? "

"Go back to Your Majesty and leave for the Ministry of War. ”

“Cheng Jue made it? "

"The youngest son of Jiang Wenzhou, the Minister of War, owed a lot of money from the gambling shop under the name of His Highness the Sixth Prince. ”

“Oh? Didn't Cheng Jue cover it up? "

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is the first time in the sixth prince's adult life that he has set out to arrange his own people. "

"He does have a good vision. This Zheng Fan is a talent. "

"It seems that not only the two princes and servants appreciate him, but also His Majesty. The slave is really envious of this boy. How many lives of blessings did he have to cultivate to achieve his current fortune? "

"You eunuch, I ask you to read more books on weekdays, but you don't do it. You only know how to adopt useless godsons and buy your own property. ”

“Your Majesty, this servant is so stupid that he really can’t study anymore. I’m too old. My only thought in this life is to serve you until I can no longer serve you.” Go back and buy a village and build a temple, and my servants can continue to pray for Your Majesty every day. ”

“This flattery is untrue. You, an old castrate, can almost catch up with the old gentleman in terms of your Qi Refiner skills, right?” ”

“You can’t do it, I can’t do it. This old slave has only scratched the surface of my master’s abilities. ”

The title Taiye is allowed in the palace, because the Qi Refiner did not hesitate to be seriously injured to escort the late emperor’s family out of the capital safely. It can be said that he is also the savior of His Majesty today.

“Don’t talk nonsense, I don’t think I can survive an old eunuch like you. "

"It will be more troublesome. When Your Majesty goes, take the old slave with you. When you get to heaven, the old slave can continue to serve Your Majesty. ”

“Haha, Zheng Fan is not as good as you when it comes to flattering skills. ”

“This is the ability of an old slave to settle down and make a living. "

"Oh, you, you.

The Emperor Yan's brows turned angry,

said:

"The family has a weak foundation, and the leg of lamb is not enough. With this little property, it is not enough." It's worth fighting for, and I don't even bother to fight for it. It's better to go all out and go outside to win a big territory for me, Dayan! "

Wei Zhonghe's heart froze,

he said:

"Your Majesty, what does that kid mean? ”

He really dared to say it, he really dared to say it.

What shocked Wei Zhonghe the most was that he could actually see clearly.

"This son has a big heart and sees clearly."

This is Emperor Yan's evaluation of Zheng Fan.

As everyone knows, behind Zheng Fan is the sixth prince who is the most filial to his father and a peerless old silver-coin blind man. It is like two think tanks accompanying you to watch the news broadcast. You will definitely be able to watch better than others. Go deeper.

"Previously, what Liangting said to him after he finished talking about the attack strategy."

"Did the Marquis of Zhenbei teach him how to roast a leg of lamb?"

p>

Emperor Yan glanced at Wei Zhonghe. Wei Zhonghe immediately smacked his lips and smacked his lips twice without making a sound, but Wei Zhonghe immediately knelt down and said,

"I made a mistake, your majesty, please punish me. ”

Actually, this does not mean that Wei Zhonghe said something wrong, because Wei Zhonghe was right. Li Liangting did start teaching Zheng Fan how to roast a lamb after Zheng Fan finished talking about the strategy. leg.

But the mistake was that Wei Zhonghe's tone contained a little disdain for Li Liangting, as light as a cicada, but Emperor Yan caught it.

Everywhere, there is regional discrimination and occupational discrimination. This is human nature and cannot be changed.

Eunuchs are actually at the bottom of professional discrimination, almost at the bottom. Even if they are the turtles in the red tent, it is not impossible to straighten up.

Emperor Yan’s eyes fell on Wei Zhonghe,

Wei Zhonghe’s back was already dripping with cold sweat.

But if you want to say that Wei Zhonghe is discriminating against Li Liangting's origin as a northern barbarian, then you are too underestimating the chief seal of the Great Yan Secretary of Ceremony.

Actually, he was testing Emperor Yan's true feelings for Zhenbei Hou. As a slave, you have to act according to your master's wishes. This is his life instinct, a habit that is infiltrated into his bones. .

But it is obvious that His Majesty’s feelings for Zhenbei Hou are already so sensitive.

"Get up. Next time, go and guard the mausoleum for me and wait for me to come."

"Your Majesty, I don't dare."

"Although the pavilion is talking about roasted lamb legs, it is also a disguised way of saying that Zheng Fanzhi's strategy is right.

As a general, the only thing in his eyes is how to defeat the enemy in front of him. Enemy, how to capture the city in front of you? As the saying goes, a thousand generals are easy to get but a general is hard to find. But in my opinion, a thousand generals are easy to get but a general is hard to find.

If I tell you again, The strategy Zheng Fan mentioned is almost the same as the strategy I discussed with Liangting Wujing. What do you think, old man?"

"I congratulate Your Majesty on your new talent? , Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Dayan!”

It’s like roasting a leg of lamb.

You have to consider what materials the sheep were fed before being slaughtered, charcoal, and Thinking about spices, etc., just like a real leader guarding one side or a general attacking one, what needs to be considered is not just the gains and losses of the battle in front of you or the city in front of you, but also the politics, economy, culture, The other party and one's own side are in courtvarious changes.

This kind of thing is called pattern.

What Li Liangting and Emperor Yan appreciated was the pattern Zheng Fan showed in his strategy.

Of course, what Emperor Yan and Marquis Zhenbei didn’t know was how many talents were standing behind Zheng Fan. Newton stood on the shoulders of giants, while Zheng Fan was carried by seven dwarfs. .

"The Jiang family is on the list of prisoners or the list of extermination?"

"Your Majesty, is it on the list of prisoners?"

" "The slaves obey the order." "By the way, did Cheng Jue build a temple outside the city?" Yes, Your Majesty, it is an earth temple, but at the back are the memorial tablets of the Min family and Concubine Min."

"Alas, I have to pity this child Cheng Jue."

After a while,

Yanhuang said:

“Push it away.”

…………

"As for the Marquis, I am full."

"Why only eat so little?"

"I'm really not used to eating so greasy in the morning."

"That's because my life is so comfortable on weekdays."

"Before joining the army, at home, He is a small businessman, but he has no shortage of food and clothing."

"If I say that I envy you, would you believe it?"

"I believe it."

"Oh?"

"Because the food in the Hou Mansion is really unpalatable."

"Oh, it is indeed unpalatable, you know? , I have been looking forward to the opportunity to go to Beijing before. When I was a child, I could grab His Majesty's chicken legs."

"..." Zheng Fan.

This is the imperial palace after all. You, the Marquis of Zhenbei, can tell you about the embarrassing things that happened to Emperor Yan in the past, but Zheng Fan knows that he can’t deal with it.

Zhenbei Hou walked in front, Zheng Fan followed behind.

Zheng Fan still held a lot of barbecue tools from Zhenbeihou in his hands. Zhenbeihou was a real person. He even brought his own tools when he was roasting lamb legs in the Royal Garden, and he didn’t forget to bring them. Walk.

When passing a pavilion gate, Zheng Fan felt that a barbecue grill was about to fall off, so he said to a palace guard standing on both sides of the pavilion gate:

"Brother, Lift it for me."

The guard immediately reached out to help, and as soon as he took the shelf, Zheng Fan saw two soldiers running behind him.

One person covered the guard's mouth, and the other put the knife edge on the guard's neck.

Zheng Fan was stunned for a moment,

The two soldiers smiled at Zheng Fan,

Zheng Fan also smiled,

Zheng Fan took two steps back,

"Poof!"

The edge of the knife cut across the enthusiastic guard's neck.

A soldier took over the grill that the guard had brought for Zheng Fan and said to Zheng Fan:

"My lord, I will help you get it."

"Oh, thank you, just help me pile it up and make it neatly."

"Okay, sir."

The other soldier dragged He left with the body of the guard.

After rearranging the barbecue grill, Zheng Fan speeded up and caught up with Zhenbei Hou.

While Zheng Fan was running, he clearly saw a group of soldiers also running.

Along the way, several guards who had saluted him before were killed by the soldiers who followed him the next moment.

Not all of them were killed. For example, when one of the several people who were guarding or patrolling together was killed, a soldier immediately took the place of the killed guard, and the patrol was still going on. , the garrison is still garrisoned.

It was like a gust of wind blowing over and squinting your eyes, but when you rubbed your eyes and took a closer look, nothing seemed to have changed.

"What's going on? Can you still hold it?" Zhenbeihou asked.

"Not bad."

"Well, young people, you have to do more things."

Zhenbei Hou did not explain what was happening in the palace , Zheng Fan didn't ask. In fact, Zheng Fan probably already guessed the reason.

The aristocratic family’s influence on Dayan is ubiquitous, especially the guards in the palace. Although they are not like the later Qing Dynasty who used aristocratic children as errands, ordinary people also It is difficult to get into this position. After all, you are close to the big shots, so your chances are high.

Before, they were holding back, but now, from the moment the Marquis of Jingnan slaughtered the Tian family, things have started to take off.

Probably, not only is the palace about to undergo a major purge, but the Forbidden Army is also in a bloody turmoil at this time. In addition, the Tiancheng County soldiers under the eldest prince are definitely doing similar things. .

This is the power of clans. They are everywhere, and their influence can touch almost every aspect of a country. If they move the clans, they will scrape away the bones and cure the poison.

Ahead, several teams of eunuchs and maids hurried to the harem. Each team was led by a big eunuch in red.

They went to invite some of the concubines in the palace to ascend to heaven.

The emperor has no family affairs. This saying is not only reflected in the fact that women in the emperor's family often need to be reduced to tools for political marriages. In fact, the emperor himself is also a sacrifice in this sentence.

In the early stage, in order to win over the powerful, you have to marry the girl from this family, right? After marrying into this family, you can't ignore that family, right? This, this, and that, they also want to marry.

Many of the women in the harem have a family behind them, and sometimes the emperor has to work hard to make them suffer in order to achieve a deeper political marriage.Give birth to a prince or princess with the blood of their mother's clan.

Recalling what Xiaoliuzi said yesterday, his father has been working hard on those "beauties" in Xiahang from Qian Country recently, and he probably also wants to give birth to one or two offspring with Qian Country blood. It will be convenient to rule the country after using troops.

No matter how interesting and pleasant things are, as long as political tasks are added to them, they will become dull and boring.

A fire,

started from the fields and houses,

soon,

set fire to the entire Yan Kingdom.

Walking in the palace at this time, Zheng Fan felt really excited. This excitement probably came from the fact that he was able to become a "witness of a historical moment."

In front, a man wearing black armor appeared. His armor was the style of the Zhenbei Army. There was a wooden box beside the man.

"Master Marquis, please wear armor."

"I really don't want to wear such heavy armor."

Zhenbei Hou shook his head, but he felt a little confused. Nothing can be done.

The man opened the box, and inside was a set of simple and majestic armor.

Simple is simple. As for how majestic a set of armor is, that comes from Zheng Fan's imagination.

After all, it is Zhenbeihou's armor, just like the leg of lamb roasted by Zhenbeihou himself, it always gives people a special feeling.

The Marquis of Zhenbei did not pull up the tent either. In fact, it was top secret that he entered the palace from the West Garden today, and he was accompanied by this man.

Zheng Fan stepped forward to help. The armor was very heavy and it was difficult for Zheng Fan to lift it up. This shows why the Marquis of Zhenbei didn’t like wearing it anymore. It felt almost like carrying several sacks of rice on his body. .

There is also a large python-headed knife in the box. Good guy, it is so heavy that Zheng Fan couldn't lift it the first time.

The man reached out and pulled out the big knife with a slight lift. Zhenbei Hou reached out to take it, but he didn't hold it up stupidly. Instead, he pointed the blade downward and stabbed the knife. Broken palace floor tiles.

Leaning on the knife,

Zhenbei Hou said:

"Qingshuang."

"Master Hou."< /p>

This man’s name is Qingshuang? Kind of like a woman's name.

There are seven general soldiers under the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, six of them are given the surname Li, and only one is not surnamed Li. Zheng Fan was introduced by the sixth prince at first, and this is the only one who is not surnamed Li, not because he is not accepted. He attaches great importance to it, precisely because his identity is very sensitive. There are rumors that he has the blood of the Golden Family of the Barbarian Royal Court or that he is a descendant of a prince who competed with the late emperor for the throne. It is even said that he has the blood of a royal family from the Jin Kingdom and Chu Kingdom. .

At least, in Zheng Fan's opinion now, he should not have the blood of the Golden Family. There are still obvious differences between the appearance and characteristics of the barbarians and the Yan people.

"There is an empty general in your town, give it to this boy."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

"Master Marquis..."< /p>

"You are originally from Beifeng, and you belong to our Zhenbei Army. Now, you just went home."

"Master Hou..."

"There's no need to be in a hurry to thank me. We don't like this in the Marquis' Mansion. If you want to thank me, just use your merits. I never look away from others. You must not let me make an exception."

"Master Hou..."

"It's settled, you will follow Qingshuang from now on. Don't be afraid of Tian Wujing's blaming. He, Tian Wujing, is still half a generation behind me." Where is the son?"

"Master Hou."

"Huh?"

This time it was Qingshuang who reminded me.

Zhenbeihou stopped talking to himself and looked in the direction indicated by Qingshuang. Suddenly, Zhenbeihou's face turned red.

There,

stood a stalwart figure who was slightly younger than the Marquis of Zhenbei, his gilded armor shining brightly in the light of the morning sun.
