Zhao Cheng became a eunuch.
In his account, he found the princess in a cowshed and rescued her from the city.
As for what happened in the cowshed and the days when Her Royal Highness was missing before, Zhao Cheng did not know.
If you don’t know, you don’t know.
Uncle Zheng once asked Fan Zhengwen,
What method, excuse and arrangement would be used if Her Royal Highness was sent back.
For example, if the disaster is diverted to the east, it can be directed to the silver-armored guards of the Qian Kingdom, or it can also be directed to the Tian family that the Fan family wanted to trap before.
After all, no matter what, we must do things from beginning to end so that no one in Fengchao can find any mistakes.
But Fan Zhengwen’s answer is very simple.
There are five words in total, and the first two words are still nonsense:
"Bo "Master, no need."
Zheng Fan was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly smiled.
Yes,
No.
Because Xiong Liqing is a princess, she is the biological sister of the regent of Da Chu. Not surprisingly, she will be the only sister of the future emperor of Da Chu who has the same mother;
At the same time, She will also be the wife of Qu's eldest son and the future aunt of Qu.
When she goes back,
As long as her body is not harmed and she is still intact,
then,
she will still be she.
She is not a suspect, she is not a person who can be interrogated. When she stands on the phoenix platform again and puts on her Fengxia, she will immediately return to her original aloof self.
As long as she said: "I forgot."
No one dared to break the casserole and ask the truth, not even the person in charge of Phoenix Nest.
"This is a terrible memory of mine. I don't want to experience it again, nor do I want to recall it, so let it all be over."
For this reason, Even if the regent comes to ask her about this in person in the future, he can just use it as a excuse.
But in Dachu, no one dared to force her to ask questions that even the regent couldn't ask.
Things,
are actually very simple.
The reason why Uncle Zheng has this worry is that the blind man is not around. Without a counselor who can think from the details and the overall situation, it is inevitable that he will sometimes go astray;
Secondly, most of the time since rebirth, I have been either fighting or on the way to fight. My position has been rising step by step, my military achievements have been accumulated, my title has also increased, but damn it is getting better and better. The farther you hit, the farther you get from the court.
Lack of the baptism of the political whirlpool, lack of the real environment of being a superior, and too much belief in the truth that "power comes from the barrel of a gun",
Mr. Zheng now lacks The perspectives and habits of some superiors in looking at things are indeed normal.
Fan Zhengwen was right. If the princess wanted to hide something about the Fan family and Zheng Fan, no one could ask her about it.
And if the princess is unwilling to hide it,
Haha,
Then no matter how meticulously you arrange the scene and how well you divert the disaster, there will be no trace of it. significance.
So,
it is really not needed.
Outside Zhennan Pass, Marquis Jingnan of the Yan people was eyeing him. The front line had just suffered a defeat, but the marriage could not be delayed.
It is precisely because the clearer the external pressure becomes, the more the regent needs to unite with Qu as early as possible.
Originally, people would come to ask about Zhao Cheng’s details, but after Zhao Cheng castrated himself, rested for a week, got out of bed, and changed into a eunuch’s uniform, no one dared to ask again. It's all about him in Xiayong City.
When I was just castrated, I couldn't get out of bed, so I had to rely on my sister to change the dressing on me, layer by layer, applying it thickly, which was cool and itchy.
After I was able to get out of bed, every time I went to the toilet, it would sting.
But it didn’t take long for him to adapt to it, and at the same time he also adapted to others calling him "Eunuch Zhao".
He does not regret that he castrated himself. The roots of his descendants are very important, but not as important as his own life. This young man who has been trafficked and escaped and lives on the streets can also organize a beggar gang, has a super Extraordinary sensitivity and intuition.
He knew that if he didn't castrate himself when the princess asked him what reward he wanted that day, then the only way for him and his sister would be death.
People often say that in the eyes of big men, human life is nothing;
But Zhao Cheng knows that when ordinary people see beggars freezing to death and starving to death on the street, they look like Like a grass on the roadside.
No matter what, he survived. He knew that many people around the princess looked at him strangely, feeling that he would do anything to climb up, but he didn't care about their looks. Zhao Cheng He didn't know the word "self-esteem", but even if he knew it, he would feel that it was really worthwhile to exchange his self-esteem for his life.
A group of old people who were originally around the princess are gone, because after the accident happened to the princess, they were all arrested and imprisoned. It is not known whether they are dead or not, but they will definitely not be able to come back to serve the princess again.
Yingdu Palace sent another team, including maids from the palace, guards, and father-in-law.
The new leader’s father-in-law was named Sun. The princess asked Zhao Cheng to recognize Eunuch Sun as her godfather. In front of the princess, Eunuch Sun accepted the tea served by Zhao Cheng.
It can be said that Zhao Cheng's journey as a eunuch has already started, and in half a month, he has completed a journey that others may not be able to complete in ten years.
On weekdays, Eunuch Sun is responsible for the affairs in the royal garden, while Zhao Cheng is responsible for managing the affairs in the courtyard where the princess is.
Zhao Cheng has been in the world before, joined gangs, and was taken offline by many national intelligence agencies. His ability and skillsThere was no shortage, and the dozens of eunuchs and maids in the small courtyard were quickly managed in an orderly manner.
Then,
One day,
Zhao Cheng saw the eldest lady of the Mi family coming.
The eldest lady had a crippled arm and was limping when she walked. She entered the hospital with red eyes.
At that time, the princess was having a meal, and Zhao Cheng was waiting beside her.
The princess took the handkerchief from his hand calmly, wiped the corners of her mouth gently, then stood up, picked up the plate on the table and threw it towards the door.
The plate shattered on the floor,
The princess began to scream calmly:
"Get out, get out of here, get out!"
Yes,
very peaceful.
After calling,
the princess sat down calmly, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and moistened her throat.
As a result, the eldest lady of the Mi family was unable to enter the house and left in despair.
Two days later, Zhao Cheng heard that the eldest lady of the Mi family had hanged herself at home.
Zhao Cheng knew that when the princess disappeared, she was with the eldest lady of the Mi family.
Throwing plates and screaming, this series of actions of the princess are enough to make people think about it. Those Fengchao fans who failed to dig out anything from the princess are likely to smell it because of this incident. Unusual taste.
Or, it will be regarded as a hint.
But the Mi family is the home of the Minister of Household Affairs of the current dynasty, and the head of the Mi family is also a close confidant of the regent. It is not easy to investigate. The death of the eldest daughter of the Mi family is a kind of... compromise.
Zhao Cheng did not understand the situation of court relations, but he knew that the truth of the matter was definitely not like this.
That man, the man who once made the princess take the initiative to embrace her, who is he?
In the final analysis,
It was this man who made him lose his job;
But Zhao Cheng did not dare to ask about this man in front of the princess. Even in his heart, he didn't dare to hate him;
A man who could hold a princess in his arms as casually as a peasant girl,
didn't dare to think about it, let alone Dare to provoke.
......
The day before last, Qu Peiluo came.
This was the first time that Zhao Cheng saw the young master of the Qu family. He was a handsome man with delicate features and delicate features.
Qu Peiluo brought a lot of gifts for the New Year and generously distributed them around the Bieyuan. Although they were not married yet, the servants in the Bieyuan who were originally serving the princess were already shouting "Fu Ma Fu" Well.
In the end, Qu Peiluo did not come to see the princess because according to etiquette and law, the couple was not allowed to see each other before getting married.
Chu people attach great importance to etiquette and respect ancient laws. They believe that disrespecting ancient laws will bring bad luck to themselves.
It can be seen that Qu Peiluo really wanted to see the princess, and he also signaled Zhao Cheng to inform Qu Peiluo when he came back.Reporting, the princess said:
If the love between two people lasts for a long time, how can they stay together day and night?
Poetry is good poetry.
It is catchy and memorable.
Although he was regretful, Qu Peiluo still smiled and left. Although he did not know what happened specifically when the princess disappeared, he had long confirmed that the princess had no injuries and was in perfect condition. , these two things are enough;
And the talents revealed by the princess can be regarded as an unexpected blessing of this political marriage.
Qu Peiluo left,
but most of the troops and horses he brought with him stayed behind. Inside and outside the royal palace, there were three floors inside and three floors outside. The package can be said to be heavily defended.
Zhao Cheng returned to the princess and told her that Qu Peiluo had left.
It’s just that Zhao Cheng didn’t say anything else, because he saw the princess staring at the words she had written before, which were the two lines of poems that he had conveyed to Qu Peiluo.
It was written by the princess, but Zhao Cheng felt that it was not written by the princess.
……
It’s the New Year;
On this day of the New Year, a very bad news came, that is, Xue Rang’s troops in Zhennanguan Mutiny, if General Nian Yao hadn't acted decisively and timely to allow the imperial army of the Dachu royal family to enter Zhennanguan and take over the city wall to quell the riot, the Yan people might have taken this opportunity to break into Zhennanguan.
On this day, Zhao Cheng discovered that the Qingluan Army outside the Royal Villa had made a large-scale defense change. The soldiers and horses, which originally seemed to have uniform armor, were moved to the north in batches. Then, Teams that looked like private soldiers began to replace the previous Qingluan Army's defense area.
I heard from Eunuch Sun that because of the increasing pressure from the Yan people in the war in the north, Qu's Qingluan Army had to go north again, and the new ones were replaced by Qu's local auxiliary troops. And the private soldiers of the slave families under Qu's command.
At the same time, a group of worshipers of the Qu family moved into the outskirts of the small courtyard. These worshipers exuded the aura of not allowing strangers to enter. Zhao Cheng had been through the rivers and lakes and knew that these people were truly strong.
In the world of martial arts, these are all people who can get away with being famous.
Therefore, at this time, the defense of the Royal Garden should be looser on the outside and tighter on the inside than before.
This is natural. Even if there are thieves, it is unlikely to mobilize a large army to attack here. It is not difficult for a small group of thieves to infiltrate. Even if they infiltrate, given the humiliation outside the small courtyard, The strength enshrined by the clan can no longer harm the princess in the slightest.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the princess handed out rewards. All the eunuchs and maids in the small courtyard stood early at the door of the princess's bedroom. After the princess came out, they came forward one by one to say auspicious words. , and then took the red envelope from Zhao Cheng.
Then, the princess returned to her dormitory to continue resting, while Zhao Cheng stayed to collect the dividends alone to show her respect.
More than 10% of the red envelopes handed out in front of the princess had to be taken out and handed over to him.
The big guy is doing itYou have to be willing, this is the established rule in the palace. The master's reward is given to you, but you can't even think about eating alone.
After receiving everyone's tribute, Zhao Cheng went to the outer courtyard without stopping to find Eunuch Sun. Eunuch Sun had just greeted the imperial guards before returning.
Zhao Cheng placed a bag of silver in front of Eunuch Sun;
"Godfather, this is yours."
Then Zhao Cheng took out another A piece of silver was put aside alone, he pushed it over and said, "This is my share, son."
Eunuch Sun narrowed his eyes, half-smiling, and said:
"Isn't the number correct?"
Zhao Cheng immediately knelt down, pointed his finger at the sky and said:
"So that the godfather knows that this was just collected, and the son did not dare to have it." No hiding at all."
Although he has not been a eunuch for a long time, Zhao Cheng is a very discerning person. He knows that what he has to do now is to work in a down-to-earth manner and follow the rules. It is not yet time for him to make money and receive benefits. It is impossible to be confused at this time.
Eunuch Sun smiled and said: "The Za family is not saying that there is less, but that there is too much."
As he said this, Eunuch Sun stretched out his hand and pushed the bag of silver out. , and turned to receive the ingot of silver that Zhao Cheng had taken out before in front of him.
"What do you mean, godfather?"
"What do you mean? That's what it means. Life is not easy for the eunuchs and ladies in the palace, so they have to save some money for themselves to wait for the future. After the old man is frail, the people can buy a few acres of thin farmland to support him.
So, do you know why they are so happy and quick to profit from the money? ”
"I hope my godfather can teach me."
"Well, no matter how cautious you are when working with noble people, you will inevitably make a mistake. To say the least, even if you never make a mistake, , but what if one day you happen to meet a noble person who is in a bad mood and insists on finding fault with you?
This money is said to be filial piety, but in fact it is money to buy life. It is not worth giving away. It's given for free, and you have received someone's filial piety. When someone makes a mistake in the future, you have to help him deal with it. You have to help him speak well in front of the nobles.
A heavy punishment becomes a light punishment, and death becomes a heavy punishment. , it is really an unforgivable crime, you have to help his family.
There is no free money in this world;
I heard that you saved the princess. , the princess has also left the affairs of the inner court to you, so you can speak in front of the princess and have the face to sell favors to the people of the inner court.
Naturally, you will receive the money, and you will naturally have to sell this favor in the future;
What kind of thing am I? Even in the palace before, I have never served a princess, so I don’t have this I am qualified to receive this money."
Eunuch Sun held up the ingot of silver that Zhao Cheng had given him alone and said:
"As for this, just call me godfather. I should accept the filial piety you, my son, give me. The mixed family is in the palace., In fact, I have never been a good person, but at least I have survived the seniority. If you follow me, at least you will not suffer in the future in terms of seniority.
The Zajia family has accepted your filial piety. According to the rules, when you are promoted to Queer, the Zajia family will buy you a complete outfit. After all, I have to buy some jewelry, and the miscellaneous family also has to pay half of it.
This money must be collected clearly and reliably;
I want it if it should be mine, and I don’t want it if it shouldn’t be mine.
Little thief, remember, this is what you have to do when you work next to your master and have a large group of people under your control;
When you ask your subordinates to respect you, , willingly, rather than gritting teeth behind your back.
Silver is silver, and human feelings are human feelings;
But since ancient times,
When money is separated from human feelings, the heart trembles,
Human feelings It cannot stand apart from money. "
Hearing this, Zhao Cheng immediately kowtowed three times again, making a loud noise.
He said sincerely:
"Thank you godfather for your teaching. My son has learned a lot from it. Taught! "
Eunuch Sun stretched out his hand to help Zhao Cheng up, and said seriously:
"Your godfather, I came here from the palace and was assigned here, but you will still have a chance in the future. Those who go to the palace should work hard and be a good person;
We are all people without roots,
But the more we have to fight for this breath, we have to live like ourselves Come. "
"Yes, godfather. "
"Yinzi, please leave it here for now. You are running around holding it, which is not cool. I will send it back to you later in the evening. By the way, the Fan Family Jade Shop sent one. As for the emerald cabbage, go over there and find two people to pick it up and deliver it to the princess. The emerald can be at ease and focused. "
"Yes, my son knows, my son will go now. ”
Zhao Cheng stood up, said goodbye to Mr. Sun and went out.
After leaving the inner courtyard and passing through the outer courtyard, he entered the middle area of the royal garden, surrounded by a In the middle circle, craftsmen from various trading houses, mainly from the Fan family, were arranging furnishings, hoping that the wedding on the Lantern Festival would be prosperous and exquisite.
No way, after the wedding of the sixth prince of the Yan Kingdom, the demand and standards for royal weddings in other countries were invisibly increased.
“Where is the jade cabbage? "
Zhao Cheng asked a steward of the Fan family.
"If you go back to your father-in-law, it will be on that carriage. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Cheng couldn’t hold himself back and walked over directly. He saw seven or eight Fan Mansion guards surrounding the carriage, which is enough to show how precious this pair of jade cabbage is!
"Let Zajia take a look first. ”
Before he became a father-in-law, Zhao Chenggong was a greedy man, but it is difficult to even take a look at such a truly rare object, let alone having it.
Today, I came here to see Eunuch Sun.What Li said to him made him very excited;
Secondly, he was still a young man after all, and his youthful nature was still there.
Therefore,
Zhao Cheng did not need anyone to help him,
he climbed directly onto the carriage and opened the curtain. The light from the outside came in, and the two people inside The jadeite cabbage immediately reflects the intoxicating luster.
But Zhao Cheng was not intoxicated.
Not only was he not intoxicated,
he was almost frightened to the point where the crotch almost stood up again. !
"I..."
Zhao Cheng pointed at the man sitting between the two emerald cabbages, his mouth wide open with a look of shock.
And the man just stretched out an index finger,
put it to his lips,
"Shh."
