Chapter 1 There are assassins in the palace

The word says:

"Singing through Yangguan, tears have not dried up, and you have to eat more after-production. Floating water in the sky brings endless trees, and burying half of the mountain with rain and clouds. The past and ancient times are thousands of kinds, but only separations and sorrows are the joys and sorrows? The river has not had the evil winds and evil, and it is difficult to walk on other people."

The capital Yong'an is the most prosperous city in the Great Shang Dynasty, with thousands of streets and alleys and traffic. The Yonghe Hall of the Forbidden City is the highest palace in the Great Shang Dynasty, with red walls and yellow tiles and magnificent.

On the eleven-meter-high Yonghe Palace, there was a young man in yellow casual clothes sitting on the spine. The man was not very tall, a little thin, a little handsome, but there was a little melancholy between his eyebrows and eyes. He was holding his cheeks and sitting on the top of the highest palace in the empire, quietly looking at the familiar and unfamiliar imperial capital in front of him.

The little eunuch who had just climbed up the ladder for a while finally couldn't help but say in a quiet voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being too much. The wind on the top of this hall is very strong and it is easy to catch a cold. You should go back to Yangshen Pavilion to rest, otherwise the chief manager will scold me again."

The man turned his head and looked at the little eunuch and smiled gently: "I'm not afraid, I'm going to climb up to see the scenery. If Shang's father wants to scold you, I will explain to him." After pausing, he asked the little eunuch: "Have Fengying's anger gone?"

The little eunuch replied in fear and trepidation: "My uncle just left, and the queen should be happy now."

The man smiled again and said slowly: "It has been difficult for her in the past few years. I have a bed with me and have different dreams, but I have to pretend to be a loving couple in front of me. She has a man she likes, but she cannot be together. She has to let him pretend to be the uncle. When I see him once a month, I can only talk to her. I am sad for her... But who can I say these words to? Yu Fu, don't bother me, I can only nag you."

The little eunuch Yu Fu said softly: "I dare not", then lowered his head and didn't dare to answer any more. Yu Fu didn't understand this man named Yin Guang very well. In fact, the little eunuch Yu Fu really wanted to ask him, you are obviously the most powerful person in the Great Shang Dynasty, but now the eunuch dares to bully you, the princes want to bully you, and the queen looks down on you, how could you live such a miserable life? But Yu Fu really didn't dare to ask.

What is even more embarrassing is that it is rumored that the national teacher Tang Fulong had a young son who passed the second place in Jiangnan Dao at the age of 11, but he was beaten to death the next year and refused to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination. Someone asked him why, this kid said that the imperial examination was a disciple of the emperor, and he didn't want to have an emperor teacher who could even bully eunuchs. This Majesty, even a little kid dared to look down on you. Yu Fu calculated it in his heart, as if the person who Emperor Yin Guang could occasionally bully was himself and the little palace maid Wen Xiu. Alas, I felt so depressed by such an emperor.

Thinking of this, Yu Fu couldn't help but look at Yin Guang sitting on the spine of the hall again. He raised his head and looked at the blue sky and said to himself: "My third sister should be in Jiangnan Road at this time. I really envy her. She can travel around the world leisurely, but unfortunately I can only be the emperor. In fact, when I was a child, I also had a dream in the world, and I also wanted to be a hero, but when I grew up, my dream was shattered."

The little eunuch Yu Fu looked at the emperor with a speechless look on his face. Yu Fu suddenly wanted to ask the emperor again. What are you thinking about every day? Do you know how many people are staring at the throne fiercely? But you said you don’t want to be the emperor, you want to be a hero?

——————————

Yu Fu still remembers that three years ago, a new courtesan named Liu Shishi, the largest brothel in the capital, came to Shuiyue Building, a brilliant new artist. The late emperor Huizong claimed to be romantic and was the biggest playboy in the world when he was the prince, so he naturally refused to miss it. After seeing Liu Shishi, he was shocked and immediately praised him, "Chang'e is not as good as the beauty's makeup, and the jade in the Shuiyue Building has fragrance." So, from then on, the king did not pay early

It's right.

Unexpectedly, extreme happiness leads to sadness. Huizong took too much "Jiule Huanxi Pills" when he was old and weak. He finally got what he wanted and left with joy. But Liu Shishi disappeared from now on, leaving behind the unlucky boss of Shuiyuelou.

The late emperor passed away and the palace was in chaos. That night, the sonless Queen Queen Queen and King Kang and King Yue secretly discussed to support King Kang ascend the throne, and summoned more than 200 dead soldiers, intending to kill the prince and Yang Jingzhong, the chief general who supported the prince and held the imperial guards in his hand.

Yang Jingzhong, the chief supervisor of the Inner Palace, who received the secret report, led the imperial guards to protect the prince and arrested Queen Wang, King Kang, King Yue, and hundreds of their confidants with lightning speed. Then, Yang Jingzhong hanged Queen Wang, who failed to seize the palace without hesitation. For a moment, the old eunuch's fierce and ruthless methods made the conversation inside and outside the palace frightened.

The next morning, Yang Jingzhong, the chief general, supported the crown prince Yin Guang ascended the throne. Because of his contributions to the establishment, Yang Jingzhong was awarded the title of the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat by the new emperor, became the Duke of the Kingdom, and respected as "Shangfu".

In fact, before this, General Manager Yang and Empress Wang had a good relationship. Empress Wang had many things to discuss with the General Manager. Two people with such good relationships turned against each other and turned against each other. Yu Fu studied less and could not understand these intrigues in the palace for power and throne.

———————

Yin Guang turned around and looked at the little eunuch, "Yu Fu, let's go down, Father Shang is coming soon." The little eunuch who was interrupted quickly responded with a hearty voice.

The two of them slowly descended from the ladder. Yin Guang held his hands and stood leisurely on the Danbi in front of Yonghe Hall. Seeing the emperor coming down from the top of the hall, the workers waiting to repair the hall kowtowed tremblingly, Yin Guang waved his hands with a smile, and Yu Fu stood respectfully behind Yin Guang with his whisk in his arms.

In the past, the emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom was Yang Jingzhong, the chief eunuch with the most powerful empire. Later, the powerful general began to deal with the government on behalf of the emperor and was very busy every day, so the eunuch around the new emperor Yin Guang was replaced by the deputy general Wei Dequan. However, in comparison, the emperor himself preferred to let Yu Fu, the young eunuch who was not very talkative, follow him.

Once, Yu Fu asked His Majesty carefully, how could he like to let himself, a little eunuch who came from the countryside and knew nothing, follow him every day? His Majesty the Emperor looked at him, knocked his head with a trembling chest, and said with a smile: "I just like your appearance that you have never seen the world!" This made Yu Fu speechless.

Yang Jingzhong once told people around him that he was a boring person. Not only did he look boring, but his life was also boring. He was only interested in power and prank people. If one day he had no power and could no longer prank people, he would really die that day.

This male supervisor who loves to wear purple robes has a quote written by historians in history books. Later, a famous saying that has been circulated throughout the ages: "The emperor only sits in a forbidden place, and the old slaves will handle foreign affairs." This made the emperor himself and the ministers extremely angry, but the power fell, so the new emperor had to wander around the harem and the imperial garden every day.

So, the ministers jointly submitted a memorial requesting the emperor to accept the power of eunuchs. After a few days of trouble, Yang Jingzhong's power was not taken back. Instead, some ministers were demoted to local officials.

Situ Guo Chong was demoted to Longting Road as a military commander. The national teacher Tang Fulong was demoted to the third-rank guardian wizard and went to Jiangnan Road. The imperial guard commander Jiang Yongchun was demoted to the fourth-rank Jiangling General. Other joint officials were demoted to the governors, prefects, commanders, etc.

Yin Guang, the new emperor of the Great Shang Dynasty, may be very dissatisfied with Yang Jingzhong, but Yang Jingzhong was only autocratic and still had loyalty to the emperor. Moreover, what is unknown is that Yang Jingzhong secretly discussed with the emperor before demoting those ministers.

For example, Jiang Yongchun was in Jiangling Prefecture, so he could resist the advance of Yin Quan, the King of Pingxi, and the advance of Yin Quan in the east, Tang Fulong was in Jiangnan Road, so he could prevent the King of Lingnan from going north, and Guo Chong was in Longting Road, so he was responsible for blocking the people of Daxia who might take advantage of the chaos and go south... The arrogant and domineering eunuchs, the cowardly and incompetent emperors, joined forces to play a big game. Obviously, compared to the eunuchs' autocracy, the new emperor was more concerned about guarding against those vassal kings who had broken the land and boundaries.

"I'll see the emperor."

Yin Guang, who was thinking, turned around. The most powerful old eunuch in the empire with a tall and ugly appearance, had already stood behind him at some point. The old eunuch in white-haired and purple clothes held the whisk, followed by two little eunuchs and two sword guards.

Looking at the old eunuch who bent down at Zhengxing, Yin Guang smiled warmly, "Father Shang is not polite, thank you for your hard work."

"Your Majesty, I dare not be a good person. Doing things for the emperor is my duty, and I dare not say it is hard work." Yang Jingzhong, the chief manager, smiled.

Before the white-haired Dawen Manager finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly came from behind him. In an instant, the old eunuch's smiled face twisted. Before he could turn around, the whisk in his hand swept back a phoenix waving its tail, and it struck the knife that stabbed him in the back of his heart. The old eunuch turned around calmly, and the assassin turned in the air, and the steel knife with a cold light stabbed straight into his heart. However, this knife was still an inch away from the old eunuch's heart, but it stopped in the air, as if an invisible shield was blocking the front. No matter how he activated his internal force, he could not push forward a minute or a little.

At the same time, four of the craftsmen knelt on the Dan Pai of Yonghe Palace flew over like lightning and worked together to capture the assassin who had used his sword to attack.

Several guards in front of the Yonghe Palace gate rushed over and protected His Majesty the Emperor behind him.

No one expected that the assassin was one of the sword guards behind Yang Jingzhong. The other guard was so scared that he was out of his mind. After realizing it, he hurriedly pulled out the knife and pointed it at the back of the bold assassin's heart, but his hands were still shaking.

Yang Jingzhong smiled and stretched out his snow-white and slender fingers, and pointed out his energy and pointed the assassin's acupoint in the air, preventing him from having the chance to seek death.

The chief supervisor of the big inner steadily walked to the assassin, stretched out his snow-white and slender fingers again, and slowly tore off the face of the sword guard. Under the face of the plain-looking face, there was a pretty face.

Yang Jingzhong slapped the pretty-looking assassin in the face. The corner of the assassin's mouth was bleeding and several teeth were knocked off.

The assassin spat fiercely at Yang Jingzhong, and spitted blood on Yang Jingzhong's purple clothes with broken teeth, cursing with hatred, "I just regret not being able to kill you, the eunuch and that foolish monarch."

The general manager of the Oui said coldly in the unique sharp voice of the eunuch, "Present to the Envoy, remember, don't let him die, otherwise you all have to pay his life."

The guards agreed and dragged the assassin who was touched by the acupoint.

The old eunuch then turned around and smiled apologetically at the emperor, "The emperor is frightened. I am guilty of the old slave. I will go to the inner envoy to interrogate himself and find out the mastermind behind the scenes. The old slave takes his leave." After saying that, he bent down to the emperor and bowed, turned around and walked towards the inner envoy.

Watching Yang Jingzhong walk away and witnessing this good show, Yin Guang finally retracted his smile and snorted coldly with a stern face, "What a big bait, even assassins can sneak into the guard team. Is this still an imperial palace? A grand occasion that has not been seen in two thousand years!"
