Chapter 800: The turbulent autumn (Part 2)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Outside the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City.

Shi Xing was removed from his official hat and stood on the corridor paved with bluestone slabs.

Four terrifying court sticks were slanted on both sides of his body, and the ones holding the staff were wearing pointed hats, white boots, and black dressed in Dongchang. Not far from both sides, there were two rows of Jinyiwei with knives on his back.

The person who was in charge was Wang Ben, the eunuch of the East Factory. He had a pair of ridiculous eyebrows. Seeing so many people, he felt a little excited, but his expression became more gloomy and looked at Shi Xing and said, "I'm ordered to ask you, who is instructing you to take this sutra?"

"I am a military officer, and talking about military affairs is a duty." Shi Xing didn't look at him, and his eyes looked straight ahead, and the deep palace courtyard seemed so gloomy.

"Hmph!" Wang Ben snorted coldly and said, "Is it a matter of deed to violate the laws of the ancestors?"

"You are worthy to talk to me about the laws of ancestors." Shi Xing closed his cuffs and said coldly: "Do you think that if you hide the iron plate cast by Emperor Taizu, people in the world will forget the ancestral teachings of 'the eunuch cannot interfere in politics'"

"You..." Wang Ben said with evil spirits in his eyes: "Do you want to die?"

"Hahaha..." Shi Xing knew that he was dead... If there was no trick in the eighty court stick, there was absolutely no possibility of survival. He simply gave up and shouted: "A real man is alive and righteous, why not die?" He said and laughed: "By the way, forgetting that you can't be considered a real man, what's the use of saying this to you?"

"You laugh." Wang Ben laughed backwards with anger and said, "I want to see if you can laugh later." He said, "I waved the silver silk whisk in his hand and said, "Execution"

The four Dongchang Actors immediately took action, and two wooden sticks passed through Shi Xing's armpits, raised his upper body, and hit the bend of his hind legs. Shi Xing knelt down fiercely, and as the first two sticks with him were twitching back, his whole body lay on the stone floor of the Meridian Gate, making him dizzy. At this time, the four monks each stretched out one foot and stepped on the back of his hands and two back ankles, and he was stepped on tightly in a large shape.

Wang Ben looked at him, but did not immediately send a signal of plague. Instead, he squatted down slowly, reached out to his scattered forehead, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "It's the 15th August Reunion Day, and your family is waiting for you to go back to reunite. Change the statement and admit your mistake to the emperor. Long live the emperor and you can forgive you." In fact, it was not because he wanted this, but because Emperor Longqing was really indecisive and just a minister, he beat him and insisted on his mother-in-law and mother, which was depressing.

"What the emperor asked you to say?" Shi Xing slowly raised his head and looked at Wang Ben with a weird look.

"Yes, otherwise you think I'll talk nonsense to you?" Wang Ben glanced at him contemptuously.

"Then I have something to let you bring to the emperor." Shi Xing used all his strength, raised his head vigorously, and shouted: "You ask the emperor, did he forget how his edict to the emperor guaranteed his erection? Why did he have only been half a year of erection and enjoy the joy of Aoshan, drinking at night, and having a long sound and color entertainment for a long time, and the rules of the court suppressed one or two internal officials, and his power and blessings were self-reliant. He must be unscrupulous in his hands for a long time. In the long run, the world will be unsuccessful..."

"Stop the mouth" Wang Ben was stunned by him, and actually reached out to cover his mouth, but Shi Xing bit him and screamed in pain.

The Jinyiwei hurried forward and cut his palm on the back of Shi Xing's neck, which made him loose. Eunuch Wang held his bloody right hand and jumped to his feet and said with a hatred: "Beat, beat him to death."

"Bang..." A stalk hit Shi Xing's back. The dull sound of entering the flesh spread far and wide through the Meridian Gate Cave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the Wufeng Tower, two eunuchs wearing big red pythons witnessed the execution scene happily, and listened to Shi Xing's painful moans intently.

As he hit the staff, blood oozed through Shi Xing's shirt and robe. He finally couldn't help but scream. The miserable scream reached the Sixth Department Gallery, which made the Sixth Department Censors who were bound by the heads of each department in the duty room completely unable to stay. He came out of the office, ran to the Meridian Gate, and surrounded the execution site.

The Jinyiwei quickly formed a protective circle and looked at these angry censors vigilantly.

"What are you doing?" Wang Bensei said: "Do you want to rebel?"

"You beat Shi Xing to death and let the emperor carry a stick on his back to kill the counselor. Historical books will record this sentence." A censor named Mu Wenxi, who was a fellow villager of Shi Xing. Seeing that he was beaten to death, he felt anxious and didn't know why he got into the circle and pointed at Wang Ben and said loudly.

After hearing this, Wang Ben's expression changed suddenly, and those executioners also slowed down.

The few people on Wufeng Tower were also nervous, and the consequences were indeed very serious.

Taking advantage of their silence, Mu Wenxi rushed under the stick and protected Shi Xing under his body and said, "You can't beat him again, you'll kill him if you hit him again."

Wang Ben asked someone to pull him up, but he had skill. Three or four people were holding hands and feet, but they didn't move at all. At this time, the other censors wanted to come forward to help. The Jinyiwei quickly stopped him. The two sides pushed him, and the scene suddenly became chaotic, screaming, tearing, and the unique screams of eunuchs circling over the Forbidden City.

"What are you doing?" A majestic silence made the entangled parties quiet. When I looked outside, I saw Li Chunfang, the second assistant to the cabinet and Shen Mo, the Grand Secretary, walked out of the Huiji Sect. It was Shen Mo who made a sound: "How dare you fight in the forbidden area of ​​the Great Inland? Do you want to rebel?"

Under his majestic gaze, both officials and eunuchs lowered their heads obediently. Wang Ben's pair of triangular eyes were still glancing hard on Wufeng Tower, but the eunuch on the building, after seeing these two people appear, all retracted their heads, for fear of being discovered by him, so he dared not care about the idle business below.

Shen Mo walked under the Meridian Gate Cave, and his cold eyes swept across everyone. Seeing the officials drop their hats and pulling the patches, he looked very embarrassed. He couldn't help but snorted coldly, "He Taitong", and then turned his eyes to the Jinyiwei who surrounded him and said, "Doway."

The Jinyiwei couldn't help but dodge a passage, allowing Li Chunfang and Shen Mo to come to the circle. The other officials wanted to keep up but were stopped again.

Seeing Shi Xing who had been beaten to the point of blood, Shen Mo looked at Wang Ben with a cold face and said, "Who asked you to beat someone like this?"

"This..." Eunuch Wang squirted and said, "Of course it's the emperor."

"Take it out." Chen Si stretched out his hand.

"What...what?" Eunuch Wang said with a flash of eyes.

"The decree." Silence said word by word: "How do I know whether you act according to your order or falsely pass the imperial edict?" This question is not a fantasy. The emperor lives in the forbidden palace and does not contact foreign ministers. Some bold eunuchs seek personal gain under the name of the emperor. This is common, for example, Teng Xiang makes the thunder liberty suffer.

"No...yes." Eunuch Wang whispered: "What the emperor uploaded is an oral order."

"Hmph." After a silent snorting coldly, Wang Ben shivered, and the autumn air was so cool that it turned out to be covered in white-haired sweat.

The eunuch on Wufeng Tower was also panicked. Teng Xiang stared at Meng Chong and lowered the duck's voice and said, "You have come up with a bad idea, what should I do if the stuff is exposed now?"

"It's okay." Meng Chong rubbed his nose nervously and said, "Anyway, the emperor knows it."

"That's called taking things out of context," Teng Xiang growled: "How can this end?"

Meng Chong was also panicked, and he stuck his head out to look down, and suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, the surname Chen is gone, are you anxious to pee?"

"Why did I listen to you?" Teng Xiang also looked down and cursed: "He must have gone to confront the emperor." He said that, and he got up and ran to the stairs.

"What are you doing?" Meng Chong asked from behind.

"Wipe your butt..." Teng Xiang's figure disappeared upstairs.

"You want to cure him." Meng Chong curled his lips and went downstairs: "It's all my fault."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Teng Xiang hurried down the city tower, and without paying attention, he collided with two young civil servants and fell down his butt. One of them was holding something that flew out of his hand and was just pressed against his forehead.

"Not having eyes" Teng Xiang's eunuch came down and cursed.

Teng Xiang smelled a salty smell and couldn't help but stick out his tongue and add it. It turned out to be the juice of Liubiju pickle that he loved. But when he felt the juice flowing along his neck and reaching the experience of the *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

"Oh, isn't this Eunuch Teng? I'm so sorry." The two civil servants quickly accompanied him and wiped him. However, the more they wiped him, the more fancy he was, and he couldn't see anyone: "The master was busy until now, so we haven't had breakfast yet. Let's go to the canteen of Liukelang and ask for some pickles to give him porridge."

When Teng Xiang saw that these two people knew each other, they were both Shi Zhilang, the cabinet who occasionally traveled to and from Silijian. One was named Shen Shixing and the other Yu Youding, both of whom had great prospects and were not easy to offend.

Teng Xiang stood there blankly, but he couldn't have an attack. After all, he bumped into someone himself. He took off his hat and dripped juice. He said with great depression: "Forget it." He was about to admit his unluckyness.

But the two of them pulled him to the Huijimen walk: "Dadfather-in-law, come to Wenyuan Pavilion to wash."

"No need to worry." Teng Xiang looked at Qingyun in the distance and could no longer see the silent figure: "Our family will go back to Sili to baptize."

"Where can it be done," the two of them said kindly: "If the elders know, they will blame us."

"I have something urgent." Teng Xiang wanted to get rid of it, but they were grabbed tightly by them. Finally, he became anxious and stomped his feet and screamed, "We have something urgent, are you upset?" This expression was filled with pickled juice on his face, and he still had the intention of not paying attention to the ravage.

The two of them then let go of their hands awkwardly and said apologetically: "Aren't you really angry?"

"No" Teng Xiang held the crooked black shaved hat and screamed, "Don't come over." Then, with the support of the eunuchs and Meng Chong, he ran away as if he was running away.

Looking at their escaped backs, Shen Shixing and Yu Youding looked at each other and laughed. It was so satisfying.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the delay between the two, Teng Xiang did not catch up with Chen Mo. He looked like he was unable to go to Qing Palace, so he had to ask Meng Chong to find a solution immediately.

Meng rushed in and saw that Feng Bao was not there. He asked when he was waiting inside. He couldn't help but turn around in a hurry and kept saying, "What should I do?"

In the hall, Emperor Longqing was very happy with the arrival of silence, and actually stood up and called out, "Why are you free to come here today? Come and kill me for two games." Feng Bao hurried to set up the chessboard.

Silence allowed Feng Bao to go, and said to the emperor with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, you are scepting the minister outside the Wumen Gate, do you know?"

As expected, Long Qing looked at Feng Bao with a confused look on his face and said, "What court stick?"

Feng Bao knew that 80% of them were related to those two stupid guys, but at this time he was willing to cause trouble, so he smiled carefully and said, "I don't know, so I'll ask you."

Taking advantage of this, he silently told Long Qing what he saw and heard, and said with a worried look: "Those censors are right. If the emperor holds a stick and kills the counselor, the historical books will record this sentence."

Longqing's face was as gloomy as water, and he had already remembered what was going on.

After a while, the little eunuch led Meng Chong in. The emperor asked him. Meng Chong replied according to Teng Xiang Sect’s kneeling and said, “They were originally saying what they said, just scare him, but who knew that Shi Xing said something dirty and insulted the emperor. Wang Ben and the others were angry for a moment, and they might have taught him a lesson.”

Longqing's face cleared a little, but he still said with a harsh tone: "Didn't you tell you not to hurt his life?"

"Master, forgive me, and I am loyal to you. I can't listen to a word that would insult the emperor." Meng Chong said in a crying voice.

"Get down first, and I'll teach you a lesson later." Long Qing looked impatient, but the fool could tell that he wanted to expose it.

He looked at Meng Chong retreating silently, and said nothing.

He ordered Feng Bao to let the Shi Xing go, and Longqing pulled the silence to the edge of the chessboard and said, "I'm here today. If I don't fight for three hundred rounds, I won't think of going back."

Chen Si smiled bitterly and sat down at the lower head, looking across the Chu River and Han Realm with the emperor... Although Longqing could play some Go, he prefers intense and direct chess, and Chen Si could only accompany him. The two of them went back and forth on the chessboard, and they started to rush and beat hard, and they each won a game, making Longqing, who thought he was full of killing, exhilarating.

It was almost noon, and because he had to go to the Ministry of War in the afternoon of the silence, the two made an appointment to win the third set. So the speed of the third set suddenly dropped, and both sides were much more cautious in making the move. Unconsciously, the battle ended up in a tragic endgame. Longqing used a car to catch the cannon and the staff at the same time, so he had to give up one at this time. According to common sense, he naturally abandoned the cannon and guaranteed the cannon.

However, after a long test, Chen Mo unexpectedly escaped from the officialdom and lost his cannon... Long Qing was nervous for a long time, thinking about it, and then he thought about it and thought about it repeatedly before consuming the cannon. As a result, the situation was evenly matched, but because of Chen Mo's trick, he suddenly turned and fell into a passive move. Although he struggled to support it later, he still lost.

Two to one, the emperor won Longqing's rare final victory, so he was still unsatisfied and strongly demanded a review. Siren accompanied him again with annoyance, and had to endure Longqing's chattering self-boasting.

When he returned to the stupid move that caused the silence to lose all his life, Longqing asked curiously: "What the hell are you thinking?"

"Oh, the empress made the mistake of being nepotist," Chen Si sighed: "I always feel that the master of the commander is a commander, and it will be more effective than the cannon. As a result, I was wrong. These guys from the commander who cannot be produced will not play much role."

Longqing was still laughing at first, but as he listened, his expression became solemn. He could naturally hear that Silence was borrowing chess and criticizing himself tactfully, and being too partial to the eunuchs and not paying attention to the ministers' practices.

Seeing that the emperor listened, he immediately striked the railway while the fire was hot: "It's like playing chess, and it's the same thing to govern the country. You should choose the virtuous and use the abilities, rather than just appoint the trustees." He paused and said in a low voice: "For the past year, because Your Majesty has favored the inner ministers, they have grown up arrogance, looked down on all officials, bullied the people, and made the capital city flock and frost... They even violated the ancestral teachings and openly intervened in the six ministries. Now the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of War have been harassed by them. The minister of the nine ministers and ministers have fought against the small eunuchs, but they have all been defeated. How can it not be heartbroken?"

"In the long run, officials may no longer stick to their duties and choose to surrender to eunuchs. At that time, the court's atmosphere will become worse and worse, and may even return to the situation of Yingzong and Wuzong dynasties." Silently said earnestly: "The emperor has also read twenty-one history, and it has been seen from ancient times to the present, which emperor can rely on eunuchs to govern the country? On the contrary, whenever eunuchs are dictatorial, it is the most dangerous time in the country - Qin Zhao Gao forged an eunuch to force the prince Dan to kill, and called the deer to control the Qin II; the ten regular attendants headed by Zhang Rang in the Han Dynasty turned black and white to eliminate dissidents, fabricated crimes and killed court officials, and the most important thing is to let the ministers be separated from their wits, and eventually destroyed the Han family for five hundred years."

"The autocracy of eunuchs almost ran through the middle and late Tang Dynasty. A group of eunuchs forced the palace to kill the emperor, and the autocracy was rampant and he did everything he could do. Since Li Fuguo, he has claimed to be the "old slave who oppressed the emperor", he then forced the palace to kill the emperor, and Qiu Shiliang, who had experienced six generations of emperors, Tian Lingzi, who was known as the "father" of the emperor, and Yang Fugong, Liu Jishu, and others, the glorious history of eunuchs, is the blood and tears of the Li Tang royal family."

"If the Song Dynasty had no military supervisors and the country were harmed, the Tong Guantong, who had poisoned all over the world, would not have lost the ally of the Liao Kingdom and was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom." Silence counted for the emperor for generations, until the dynasty said: "The fatal trauma of the Tumu Fort Incident on the Ming Dynasty is still difficult to heal; Liu Jin did a great thing, and he and Zhang Yong and others used their strange skills to trick the Emperor all day long, which made Wuzong empty his body and unable to keep his bloodline. This was why the late emperor's throne was found, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a hero."
