The young eunuch agreed, stepped forward and took the reins to the Yangxin Palace. Along the way, everyone in the palace bowed their heads and retreated to both sides, not daring to collide. This kind of respect made Nian Gengyao very proud.
"What are you looking at?" Nian Gengyao asked strangely when he saw the little eunuch looking back every few steps.
"General, forgive me." The little eunuch turned around quickly to apologize, and then asked in a low voice, unable to hide his curiosity: "General, is that Luo Bu Zang Dan Jin? He looks no different from us, except that he doesn't have pigtails.
But he looks very fierce."
Luobu Zangdanjin was a stranger from the vassal state. His clothes were very different from those in the Central Plains, and he had never braided his hair. I thought that the young eunuch had never left the capital, so he became curious at first sight.
Nian Gengyao glanced at Luo Bu Zangdanjin, who was far behind him, and said with a cold smile: "What's the use of being fierce? Why don't you become the prisoner of this general!"
The young eunuch's lowered eyes flashed, and immediately he had a look of flattery on his face, "Of course, no matter how fierce and cunning he is, he will never be as wise as the general. If he goes against the general, he is simply asking for death. Although a slave
I have always been in the palace, but I have often heard of the general's reputation. I know that the general is the most brave general in our Qing Dynasty. He is also capable of both civil and military skills, far beyond those warriors who only know how to handle swords and guns."
"That's natural!" Nian Gengyao was greatly benefited from the little eunuch's compliments, and his tone was much better than before, but he didn't mean to be polite at all.
"General, since you caught him, why didn't you deal with him directly and bring him all the way back to Beijing?" the young eunuch asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Nian Gengyao looked down at him and said calmly: "You little eunuch has a lot of problems."
The little eunuch chuckled, scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I have always admired the general. Today I finally have the opportunity to meet him. It is inevitable that I will be excited and talk too much. Please forgive me, general."
"You, a eunuch, admire this general?" Nian Gengyao looked a little strange and disdainful. He had always looked down on these eunuchs, and naturally he looked down on their admiration. However, the young eunuch's attitude towards him was still there.
For the sake of respect, he didn't say anything. He just said: "What do you know? He committed the crime of conspiracy and rebellion. If he was killed in the battle, he would naturally be handed over to the emperor for disposal since he was captured alive. How can I, the general?"
Can exceed authority."
The little eunuch gently slapped his cheek with his free hand and said: "The general is right, it is the servant who is confused and stupid and asks such questions that should not be asked." After a pause, he smiled flatteringly and said:
"My servant heard something related to the general. I wonder if the general is interested in hearing it?"
"Oh? What is it?" Nian Gengyao couldn't help but become interested after hearing that it was related to him.
The smile on the little eunuch's face became thicker and thicker, filling every smile line on his face, making his rather delicate face somewhat deformed. He said mysteriously: "I heard from Eunuch Su from the Yangxin Palace.
, the emperor plans to make the general a king with a different surname!"
Even though Nian Gengyao, who was in the position of a minister and held hundreds of thousands of military power, could not help but be shocked when he heard the words "King with a different surname", and then an indescribable ecstasy spread rapidly in his heart. He was too
We now understand the importance of the words "kings with different surnames". Except for the four kings with different surnames at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Qing Dynasty has never had any other seals, and it actually wants to make an exception for itself.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you really value and treat him so favorably! This realization made Nian Gengyao so excited that his body on horseback trembled slightly.
This kind of trembling was transmitted to the little eunuch's hands through the reins, causing a strange look to flash across his face, but it was quickly covered up by a smile. In addition, Nian Gengyao concentrated on imagining the glory of being the queen.
He didn't notice this eunuch who was like an ant in his eyes.
After that, the young eunuch said something more, but Nian Gengyao was no longer in the mood to pay attention. He only looked forward to getting to the Yangxin Hall as soon as possible, accepting Yinzhen's reward, and then changing the word "Nianfu" on the door plaque of his family's house to "王富"
”, just thinking about it makes me feel extremely happy.
Of course, in addition to this, he also had to do another thing, and that was about his sister Suyan. When he was in the northwest, his family had sent him a letter saying that something had happened to his sister in the palace and she had been raped by the emperor.
Derogating him as a permanent presence, even Hong Sheng cannot be raised under his knees.
Su Yan's surname is Nian. No matter what mistakes he makes, he should not be demoted to Chang Zai, a lowly Jian. Such a name not only humiliates Su Yan, but also humiliates the entire Nian family, so he must do this during this trip.
Try to ask the emperor to re-confess Su Yan.
In this state of mind, the Yangxin Hall was very close, and the young eunuch could already see Sixi and Su Peisheng standing outside. He lowered his head and turned around, facing away from the two of them, and greeted Nian Gengyao again, saying in greeting: "
Ahead is the Yangxin Palace. It’s time for me to take my leave. I’m here to congratulate you on your thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!”
The little eunuch's voice was not loud, but it was enough for Yue Zhongqi and others to hear. Yue Zhongqi took a deep look at the little eunuch's leaving figure and said: "General, I always feel that this little eunuch is a little weird, and the fact that the general was granted a title
, even the ministers of the court don’t know how a young eunuch like him could have heard about it by chance."
Nian Gengyao said nonchalantly: "What's so strange? Things in this world are always coincidental. You are a good person, but you are too cautious. You have to speculate for a long time when you meet anyone. It's the same in war. The two armies
In a battle, the most important thing is to seize the opportunity. If you keep guessing like you do, you will be taken advantage of."
Yue Zhongqi also kindly reminded him, but he never thought that he would be scolded like this. It really made people confused about what to say. However, it was not easy for Yue Zhongqi to argue with him, especially in the inner garden of the palace, so he had to say: "General, the lesson is right.
It’s my subordinates who are overly worried.”
"Okay, let's follow this general to see the emperor." Nian Gengyao got off his horse and strode towards the Yangxin Hall. As soon as they got close, Su Peisheng and Sixi hit Qian'er together and saluted, smiling and saying: "
Congratulations to the general on his triumphant return!"
"Get up." Nian Gengyao was in a very good mood because he knew that he was going to be named the king of a different surname. He even had a smile on his face. Sixi, who had only had contact with him a few times before, was flattered, but Su Peisheng didn't feel anything at all.
He was transferred to Yangxin Palace to serve after Yinzhen ascended the throne. This was his first contact with Nian Gengyao, so there was no way to compare him.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yi and Lord Zhang are all inside. General and everyone, please go in quickly." Si Xi said respectfully, not asking much about the little eunuch who had just led Nian Gengyao's horse. Now who doesn't?
Knowing that Nian Gengyao was a popular figure in front of the emperor, many people wanted to curry favor with him.
Nian Gengyao entered as he was told, and after the door of Yangxin Hall was closed again, Ling Ruofang, who was standing in the dark, looked away. The young eunuch who had led Nian Gengyao's horse was standing behind her with a respectful expression.
