Chapter 50 I don't know if you are a loyal minister?
Chen Jisheng was wearing a black cotton robe with exposed cotton wool, his hair was disheveled, and he was sitting in a squat position. He held a dim oil lamp in one hand and a broken piece of porcelain in the other. He twisted his body and was scratching something on his buttocks.
After Xiao Chen and others went in, they discovered that what he had cut with porcelain shards was actually the rotten flesh on his own legs! A large mass of rotten flesh with pus and blood was dug out and fell to the ground with a slapping sound!
Hiss... everyone couldn't help but gasped when they saw this.
Chen Jisheng seemed to have noticed the arrival of everyone, and slowly raised his head, scanning the crowd with his eyes, and finally stopped on Xiao Chen's face.
"Aren't you that little eunuch named Xiao?" After looking at it for a long time, he recognized it. He laughed twice, threw away the porcelain tiles in his hand, sat upright, and stared at the hundred households, "Boy, where's the wine?"
"What kind of wine?" The hundred households looked stunned.
"Didn't the emperor send you to give me death? Why didn't you even give me a glass of death wine before I died?" Chen Jisheng laughed.
"Master Chen, don't be afraid, I'm not here to kill you, I'm just here to take a look at you." Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
"Haha, you kid is really ignorant. I'm not even afraid of living, how can I be afraid of death?" Chen Jisheng said with a smile.
Xiao Chen was silent, thinking that it would be better to die happily if this person lived like a dog in hell.
Turn around and ask the hundred households to send someone to bring a bucket of hot water, help Mr. Chen take a bath, find him a new cotton-padded coat, a thicker quilt, and bring him a bed. This is not the cold ground.
Going to sleep sick!
The hundreds of households did not dare to disobey him and hurriedly loudly ordered people to do it.
After a while, two jailers brought in a large bucket of hot water, helped Chen Jisheng take off his clothes, threw them all out, and then put him in the bucket, scrubbing and washing him clean. When the water was carried out again,
Everything turned into soup!
Chen Jisheng's wound was exposed to hot water, and he was sweating profusely in pain, but he gritted his teeth and remained silent. This man is really a tough guy!
After washing, Xiao Chen asked Wen Shanchang to help him clean the wound.
Wen Shanchang was much smarter than him. He took off the medicine box, opened it, took out a small silver knife, and cut out all the rotten flesh from the wounds he had received from the imperial staff.
Then he rinsed it with medicinal soup, and finally applied trauma medicine powder, bandaged it carefully, and fed him a few golden sore pills.
At this moment, Chen Jisheng felt indescribably comfortable all over his body.
With a clean body and new cotton clothes, I can no longer feel the itchy wounds. There is also a red-hot charcoal stove next to me. I feel warm from the inside out...
When he spoke to Xiao Chen again, his tone became much gentler: "Oh... but thank you very much. I didn't expect that I, Chen Jisheng, would be in such trouble, but you, a little eunuch, came to see me."
"I have always admired you, Mr. Chen. So, go and get some good wine and meat. I will have a drink with you." Xiao Chen waved his hand to signal everyone to go out first.
After turning on the lights again, the room became bright. Only then did Xiao Chen see that there were poems written on the wall?
When I walked over and took a closer look, I saw a fatal poem.
The universe is full of righteousness, and the loyalty will shine through the ages. I have not served the country in my life, but I have left it as a loyal soul!
"The Emperor didn't say he wanted to kill you. Your Excellency, I wrote this poem a long time ago." Xiao Chen sighed.
"Haha, I know that I have offended the emperor very badly this time, and the prince and all my colleagues also hate me to the core, so I will definitely die. You don't have to say these tasteless words to comfort me." Chen Jisheng also sighed.
tone.
"It's not to comfort you, but I just feel it's not worth it." Xiao Chen said and turned back to the table, picked up the bald pen and dipped it in some ink, and wrote a few more lines next to Chen Jisheng's poem.
Character.
"Songs of generosity are directed toward the top, calmly being a prisoner on death row, leading a sword into a swift attack, and living up to one's loyal ministers... Well written, it's so enjoyable!" Chen Jisheng couldn't help but marvel when he saw it, and he applauded loudly.
No matter what you say, this little eunuch is really talented in literature. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best in the world.
"But I remember that Mr. Chen was a son of a great Han Dynasty, but he became an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so I don't know if you are a loyal minister." Xiao Chen changed the subject and showed his sharpness.
You've been scolding me for so long, it's time for me to scold you a few times, right?
"The emperor of the previous dynasty abandoned me, how could I repay him as a national soldier?" Chen Jisheng was stunned for a moment before retorting.
At that time, he also went to Beijing to take the examination as a candidate. As a result, he directly pointed out all the mistakes of the emperor in his policy statement. The emperor of the Han Dynasty became so angry when he was reviewing the papers that he started to fight against him.
Although he was not killed or punished, he was directly demoted to a commoner and even his status as a scholar was deprived of him.
He was a scholar, he didn't know how to farm, and he had no other skills. He wanted to be a teacher, but no one dared to hire him.
He could only make a living by selling calligraphy. Later, when Murong Heng, the Marquis of Zhenxi, came to Beijing to report on his duties, he heard about his plight and took him to his residence as a minor official. He also made him his daughter's first teacher.
In a few years, due to his outstanding achievements, he was promoted to the fifth rank of staff officer in the army. Later, when Li Wanjiang conquered the world and the local area was in urgent need of various talents, he joined the army and transferred from the military position to a local official.
Because of his outstanding talents, outstanding political achievements, and good official reputation, Li Wanjiang even heard of his name, so he transferred him to the capital. After several promotions, he finally reached the high position of Zuodu Yushi.
"You repay our emperor as a national scholar, will the emperor treat you as a national scholar?" Xiao Chen's words became colder and colder.
You spoke nonsense against my father in the previous dynasty, and he didn't punish you. But you just told Li Wanjiang a few words, and he was going to kill you!
You are an upright official, and I admire you even as the former prince, but you cannot be called a loyal minister, and you are not a loyal soul even after you die.
I can only say that you are a fool!
"Actually, I am an official, neither for fame nor profit, nor to be a loyal minister. Since ancient times, the king has always been the most important, and the country is the most important. I just pity the suffering of the people in the world and want to do my best.
,Give them a peaceful and prosperous age!"
Chen Jisheng shook his head as he spoke: "You, a little eunuch, don't know all the painstaking efforts I have put in."
"You are just trying to shake a tree with a cricket." Xiao Chen curled his lips upon hearing this.
"I just said that you, a little eunuch, don't understand anything." Chen Jisheng sneered.
The conversation was not contemplative, the wine was not warm, and we started arguing in just a few words.
So much so that he became red-faced and ended up unhappy.
But in their minds, their impressions of each other have also changed a lot.
Chen Jisheng felt that this little eunuch still had something in his stomach. Not only could he write poetry, but he also understood some of the policies of governing the country. Although some of his words were too exaggerated, they were not completely unreasonable.
If Xiao Chen was just an ignorant boy, he wouldn't argue fiercely with Xiao Chen. Who would argue with a fool?
As the saying goes, I would rather fight with a smart person than say a word to a stupid person!
