Although Chen Chongying was an eunuch, he was a man of great magnanimity and magnanimity.
This is the wind and light clouds that are used to seeing clouds rising and falling behind.
There was a popular eunuch beside the emperor, but he didn't care at all.
Let's put it this way, since the death of the late emperor, Chen Chongying has long been unwilling to do anything in the palace, but when he reaches his position, it is not easy to just quit.
Chen Chongying said that I don’t want to do it anymore. Does the emperor believe it?
Chen Chongying said that I don’t want to do it anymore. Will his disciples, disciples, and party members who are attached to him agree?
Besides, after leaving Ouchi, Chen Chongying has no other place to go. There is no other close person in this world. Wherever he lives, he is just Hunshouyuan.
There is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart. Chen Chongying's heart died together with the death of the late emperor, and all that is left alive is his body.
Many people say how is it possible? Seeing how powerful Chen Chongying is, he must be a man who is greedy for power!
This is because in the court, someone has to come out to do something that is not on the stage. If it is inconvenient for the emperor to do it, his subordinates have to do it for him.
In a field, in addition to crops, weeds will always grow. Especially those barnyard grasses, which look exactly like rice. Only those who really know them will know what these guys are.
Chen Chongying didn't say that he wanted to sweep away all the barnyard grass on the court. In fact, it was too difficult and unnecessary.
Chen Chongying's approach is to try to trap these bad guys under his command. With himself watching over them, these guys will naturally be more relaxed in doing things.
Bad people will always do bad things no matter who they seek refuge with.
Many people and ministers scolded the eunuchs for all their evil deeds.
hehe.
Without me, would those people be fine?
I think if those guys sneak into Donglin, they will do more evil things. Moreover, you so-called gentlemen, you don't even know how to deal with villains and villains, and you will be eaten up by them soon.
Chen Chongying, who had no desires or demands, just felt that he was helping the late emperor look after the house. As long as the old dog lived, he had to look after the house.
If Duke Xuanli knew that Chen Chongying thought this way, he would probably hate him even more, till he bleeds.
If you don’t want power, then give it to me!
I want it very much!
…
After Duke Xuan Li became a popular person around the emperor, he would give him massages to relax him whenever he was tired.
In fact, massage cannot be used continuously. Generally speaking, massage should be done at least once every other day.
If you massage continuously, you must take a break after doing it several times.
Because the body needs time to recover, long-term repeated massage will not only fail to relax, but will also aggravate the condition.
Chen Chongying knew this kind of thing, so when the emperor came to see him when he had a severe headache, if the time interval was too short, he would deliberately excuse himself from coming because he had something to do.
Duke Xuanli also knows this kind of thing, but the emperor's health is none of my business. I just need to serve him comfortably.
Even the emperor knew about this, but it was like drinking poison to quench his thirst. He was in so much pain that he couldn't bear it.
In order to relieve the emperor's pain, Duke Xuanli secretly found many things.
The first was the Datura Fruit, but the emperor felt that this thing was not powerful enough and was of no use. He needed something more powerful.
Later, Duke Xuanli found Diyega (poppy), which was said to be "effective in curing diseases, but it kills people like a sword, so it should be avoided." However, it still failed to stop the emperor's headache.
Headache is still a difficult disease, very stubborn and difficult to treat.
The emperor felt that the pain in his head was due to excessive worry and too many toxins accumulated in the brain. He heard that there was a kind of insect called the Five-color Gu King in Yunling, which could suck out toxins from the human body.
The emperor asked Chen Chongying to look for it, but Chen Chongying searched for a long time but couldn't find it. The emperor scolded her for being useless.
Later, Duke Xuanli sent people to look for the Gu King, but he accidentally found an incredible thing for the emperor in Goryeo.
This is a strange poison that can control people. The poisoner can control the seven emotions and six desires of the poisoned person through the poisonous insects. However, after this kind of poisonous insect enters the brain, it cannot be eliminated. It is the same as the poisoned person.
Live and die together.
Hearing that the emperor wanted to use this device on himself, Chen Chongying persuaded the emperor with good words, but the emperor was very stubborn.
Good words can't persuade people to die, so Chen Chongying just doesn't care.
Later, the emperor asked Xuan Li Gong to plant a poisonous poison in his head, and the person who controlled the poisonous poison was the emperor himself.
From then on, the emperor adjusted his excitement to full. Not only did his head no longer hurt, but he could also deal with various things crazily day and night without stopping.
This is what Huang Xiaoshi has said a long time ago, the psychotic emperor, on the physical level.
Therefore, Huang Xiaoshi really admired this emperor very much. Even if Huang Xiaoshi accidentally killed himself by playing with him back then, it was just for fun after all.
Whether it’s playing games or playing with women, it’s all about entertainment and happiness.
And this emperor, for the sake of his job, was able to develop himself into such a virtuous person. I really don’t know how to describe and evaluate him.
The emperor who was in a state of excitement for a long time was not only emotionally unstable and prone to joy and anger, but also his facial features were completely distorted, and he often drooled without realizing it.
Forget it, it has been hundreds of days since last year, and the emperor has basically not slept at all.
He is not trying to be an emperor, he is clearly cultivating immortality.
Even though the emperor was originally a strong young man, after more than a year of messing around, his health was in terrible condition, and he was about to complete his merits and ascend to heaven.
Now that the emperor has developed drug resistance and withdrawal reactions, his body's vitality has been almost drained, and no amount of stimulation will be of much use.
Therefore, Chen Chongying gave the emperor a three-year life span. In fact, this was conservative.
The emperor was very anxious. All the things in the southeast, northwest and northwest were done. Now the most difficult part was left, the internal dangers of the dynasty.
The emperor wants to eliminate all hidden dangers in one fell swoop.
…
Before the poisonous poison was implanted, the emperor could only rely on massage to relieve physical fatigue.
At this time, the emperor accidentally discovered that Xuan Li had a "super power".
The emperor was extremely observant, and he discovered that there were subtle differences in Mr. Xuan Li's appearance every day. At first, the emperor didn't care. He thought it was because he was uneasy and had an illusion.
Finally one day, the emperor could not bear it any longer. He stretched out his hand and pinched Duke Xuanli's face, which caused his face to be deformed.
If ordinary people saw Duke Xuan Li like this, they would probably be frightened to death. As a result, the emperor looked curiously as Duke Xuan Li rubbed his face back to normal.
It turned out that the facial features on Mr. Xuanli's face were unstable and soft like clay. He would often wake up in the morning after a nap and his face would be deformed.
This is a disease that can make ordinary people collapse. If you have this disease, it will be difficult to see anyone in your life.
But Duke Xuanli was very patient. Every day after getting up and before going out, he would pinch his face again in front of the bronze mirror.
Squeezing and squeezing, Mr. Xuan Li's hands became more and more skillful, but he gradually forgot what he originally looked like.
It's just that Mr. Xuanli made the drawings based on his memory of the previous day every day. Although there were some subtle differences, if you were meeting people every day, it wouldn't be easy to see the differences.
The emperor was surprised, this man was of great use.
Therefore, the emperor released Duke Xuanli. At the same time, while he was fighting against the nomadic tribe and Nanjiaozhi, he began to distract himself from planning to invade the Japanese country.
This was the source of the emperor's headaches. His brain power was being squeezed to the limit all the time.
The expedition to Japan went very smoothly.
It can be said that those who are good at fighting have no illustrious reputation. Except for the emperor, no one knew about Duke Xuanli's great contribution in this battle.
But as long as the emperor remembers it.
After Duke Xuanli returned to the palace, the emperor gave him the last test: Duke Xuanli would not take any action himself, and would only rely on his subordinates to do something important for me.
The emperor wanted to see Duke Xuanli's layout and control ability.
As a result, Duke Xuanli did an excellent job. He severely attacked a group of people without damaging the overall situation, which made the emperor very satisfied.
As a result, the emperor finally felt relieved, and he appointed Duke Xuan Li as the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor and the commander-in-chief of the West Factory.
From then on, Duke Xuanli became a top eunuch whose status was no less than that of Chen Chongying.
As for the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, he was worried about the money. If he couldn't get the money by the end of the year, the emperor would really send him to dig.
…
The emperor appointed Duke Xuanli, not that he did it poorly, but he didn't notice a problem.
Chen Chongying has followed the late emperor since childhood, and his magnanimity and vision are very comparable to others.
Mr. Xuan Li has been unsuccessful for most of his life, and he is the kind of guy who is obsessed with power.
In order to make meritorious service in front of the emperor and seek rewards to climb up the ladder, so as to step on Chen Chongying's head again, Xuan Li did not follow the rules or methods at all. He used the tricks played by Tianyi City in Jianghu in Xichang.
However, whether it is a world or a court, the existence of rules has its reason.
The West Factory had just been established, and everyone felt its audacity and madness.
What the emperor didn't even know was that Duke Xuan Li acted recklessly. When he designed Princess Weini, he didn't take the marriage issue to heart at all, he only thought about how to maximize the impact.
If it weren't for a group of people who worked hard to wipe his butt, Duke Xuanli would have messed up the matter.
Of course, what Duke Xuan Li probably wanted was to screw up the marriage and make Dongchang lose face in front of the emperor.
But what Mr. Xuanli didn't expect was that since everyone in Dongchang knew about the secret marriage, how could the emperor not know about it? This was clearly an order given by the emperor himself.
You are not slapping Dongchang on the butt, but you are slapping the emperor on the face.
Dongchang will definitely be severely punished for this, so how does the emperor look good?
Not only the Nomadic Ministry, but any other force that wants to join the emperor will think this way: I can't keep a princess even if I send you one, and I am very doubtful about your strength.
The emperor's authority comes from his absolute control over the country. Once the emperor's authority is broken, it is called the collapse of imperial power.
There are some things that, just looking at the results, seem to be in order, but if you look at the process and look at it one by one, you will see that it is full of luck and chance, and it would be strange if you don't see that you are covered in cold sweat.
…
After several successful adventures, Duke Xuanli had the illusion that he was omnipotent. Not only did he not restrain himself, but he became more and more courageous.
Not long after Xichang was established, it set its sights on King Cheng.
This is not to say that Xichang has clues that King Cheng is going to rebel, but that although the emperor did not directly remind him, the emotions he showed can be clearly understood.
The emperor doesn't like King Cheng.
After serving the emperor for so long, Duke Xuanli understood very well the concept of "sharing the emperor's worries".
Simply put, whatever the emperor wants to do, we will do it for him. It doesn't matter what is good or bad, right or wrong, as long as the master is happy.
No, Xichang focused on Queen Cheng and quickly sorted out a lot of information and clues about King Cheng. At this time, Duke Xuanli discovered that Tubo was suspected of having contacts with King Cheng.
The eminent Tibetan monk Li Kong Dharma King is going to Hangzhou to visit King Cheng. As for what he is doing when he goes to visit King Cheng, Duke Xuanli doesn't care at all. Even if Dharma King Li Kong is going to Hangzhou to teach King Cheng to eat fast and chant Buddha, the emperor is not happy, then you
Don't even think about being happy.
However, King Li Kong is a difficult figure.
Here we first have to talk about the relationship between Tubo and the imperial court.
It is said that the imperial court had a garrison in Tubo, but Tubo was only a vassal on the surface. It did not impose taxes or send officials. In fact, it was a country called China.
However, unlike the nomadic tribes in the Western Regions, Tubo had many semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral areas, so their dependence on the Central Plains dynasty was relatively high.
At the same time, Tubo's independence is too strong, so it has always been the kind of thorn that neither dares to be positive, nor wants to be obedient, and wants to cause trouble every now and then.
Moreover, Tubo is just a geographical concept. In fact, it is not completely integrated internally, and competition among the tribes is still very fierce.
Tubo has always been a state-religion model, but they have too many sects. Each sect has its own supreme leader, or even more than one leader.
The most powerful ones at present are the "Five Kings", namely Karmapa, Mahayana, Daqing, Likong and Maharaja.
The first three French kings conferred titles, and the last two kings meant eminent monks.
King Li Kong used the Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters to get himself a real title of vassal king last time, and now he is also a king conferred by the court.
Therefore, even if Xichang wanted to cause trouble to King Cheng, Duke Xuanli did not dare to publicly arrest King Li Kong.
Since you can't arrest openly, let's assassinate secretly.
So Duke Xuan Li directly sent out his subordinates [Ye Yin Jinhua] and ordered them to intercept and kill Dharma King Li Kong on the way.
Mr. Xuanli is so willful in doing things, he cares about so many things about you.
People will always die, kill one and the other will be saved.
…
[Ye Yin Jinhua], these are the four masters of the West Factory formed by Duke Xuan Li in imitation of [Tian Can Di Que] from Tian Yi City.
Chinese people believe that good things come in pairs, so they are obsessed with the number "four".
When Duke Xuanli was in Japan, he recruited four subordinates. When he became famous, these four subordinates also followed him.
However, Duke Xuan Li didn't like the name of the Japanese country very much, so the four of them changed themselves to a Central Plains name, and together they were called "Ye Yin Jinhua".
The two people who are now stopping King Li Kong are masters of swordsmanship (Japanese sword) from the same school. One is Ye Gu with black hair and black clothes, and the other is Yin Shiyun with white clothes and white hair.
Although they all carry Japanese swords, many people will mistake them for ronin.
Ronin is a samurai without a master, and these two guys are not samurai at all. They are one of the few martial arts masters in Japan, also known as martial arts masters.
In the Japanese country, due to the long-term war, a large number of swordsmanship masters were lost. Because people will die in war, it does not mean that masters will definitely survive among thousands of troops.
Due to the urgency of the war, many people were forced to go into battle after their initial achievements in learning skills, only to be sacrificed by more powerful opponents.
In the Japanese country, Ye Gu and Yin Shiyun were rare people who had practiced swordsmanship for many years but were not drafted into battle. That was because their martial arts school was serving the family of the Ashikaga shogun, serving as the shogun's family kendo instructor and sparring partner.
After the Warring States Period, the generals originally lost their authority. After Guan and Bai unified the Japanese kingdom, the generals became mere decorations and were so poor that they could not even support idlers.
At this time, Duke Xuanli came to the Japanese country and happened to meet these two people, so he took them in.
These two people had few rivals in the Japanese country, but after receiving the guidance from Duke Xuanli, their martial arts improved even further.
King Li Kong was the first master they met in the Central Plains since the opening of the West Factory. Both Ye Gu and Yin Shiyun wanted to try their skills on him.
