CHAPTER XXVI

In the 276th year of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch group and the civil official group can be called two wonderful flowers that are not in the world.

Adhering to the highest code of conduct of becoming benevolent if you don't succeed and becoming a demon if you don't cultivate immortals, all the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty who can leave their names in the history books are either as famous as Zheng He who went to the West seven times, or they are like the emperor Liu Jin, who is nine thousand years old and Wei Zhongxian and his ilk have been stinking for thousands of years.

Those eunuchs who practice the golden mean, just like civil officials who have no passion for struggle, no matter what their conduct is and what kind of contribution they have made to society, the result can only be that they are indifferent to everyone and cannot afford to splash a little wave in history.

In front of him, Meng was a little excited, this is a famous eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, alive!

Meng Zongqi's gaze was really a little piercing, and several people who were about to walk towards this side paused at the same time.

The eunuch who had just called Meng turned his head sideways and asked the long entourage beside him, "What's wrong with our family?" ”

Is the wrong clothes worn? The belt is tied incorrectly? Or did you wear the wrong boots?

Not at all.

Why is this Meng Zongqi so scorching?

I heard that when the Tartars committed a border, this one was not lightly injured, could it be that he hurt his head?

That's not possible, the king of the county wants to see this by name, it's really nerve-wracking, but it's troublesome.

Speculating that Meng should not be violent and beat people, the eunuch who was stared at became bold and took a few steps forward, "Is it Meng Zongqi at the moment?" Wanping County filial piety friend Meng Twelve Lang? ”

Hearing the other party's inquiry, Meng fixed his mind, "In Xia Meng, I don't know ...... this father-in-law."

"Wow! But it doesn't deserve to be called. The eunuch hurriedly stopped Meng's words, but he could afford the word father-in-law? Rumors are gone, can he still have a good life?

"Our family's surname is Wang, but it is just a listener in Yanwangfu, and Meng Zongqi can call our king to listen. This father-in-law is a word, but don't export it again. ”

Seeing that the king's face turned a little pale, Meng straightened up and scratched his chin, and then remembered that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were also strictly distinguished. Not to mention the father-in-law, even the word eunuch can't be said casually.

There are twenty-four eunuchs in the Ming court, and only the heads of each prison are respected as eunuchs. The palm print and pen of the celebrant eunuch, after Ming Xuanzong, also held the right to approve red, and was once called the "internal minister", almost able to compete with the cabinet of the foreign dynasty.

Although Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Jianwen didn't treat the eunuchs very much, and basically didn't give these eunuchs any good looks, when Ming Chengzu ascended the throne, the treatment of eunuchs would undergo earth-shaking changes.

For the eunuchs, it was the darkest hour before the dawn, and within five years, this special group would appear on the scene, leaving a strong mark in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Meng was single-minded, and while he was whimsical in his mind, he stood in front of Wang Tingshi with a serious expression, listening to him announce the command of the king of Gaoyang County.

"Meng Zongqi, our family wants to congratulate you first, but not everyone can be summoned by the king of the county."

King of Goyang County......

Meng Yijiling, the current king of Gaoyang County, is not the future Han King Zhu Gaoxu?

In his life, he took the rebellion-cause of his ancestors as his own responsibility, inherited the courage of his father, but did not inherit the strange person with his brain?

Thinking about someone's miraculous rebellion-experience and even more miraculous life, Meng Mo thought.

is favored by this person, is there any hope for his future life? At this moment, Meng's mood is no different from when he was pulled up the city wall by Ma Zongqi.

"Mr. Meng?"

"The king listens."

"Why are you crying?"

"Too excited."

"Oh." Wang Tingshi nodded, "We understand." The king of the county is strategic, brave and strategic, and has always been approachable and elegant. can be appreciated by the king of the county, Meng Zongqi should be excited. ”

Meng didn't cry anymore, "What are you talking about, is it the king of Gaoyang County?" ”

"Nature."

“……”

No wonder the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were able to compete with the civil official group who liked to fight, and they should really let the former Langzhong come to see what it means to talk nonsense with their eyes open and what is a real talent!

While speaking, Meng had already followed Wang to the Wei Command Envoy.

Knowing what kind of legendary life Zhu Gaoxu would have, Meng didn't dare not come, unless he didn't want to die.

From the outside, there is not much difference between the Kaipingwei Command Department and the Xicheng Thousand Households. Except for the larger place, the higher walls, the painted door, and the door knocker changed from iron to tin, all of them are all the same dilapidated and in disrepair.

The exterior is like this, and when you walk into the interior, you can understand what it means to have a cave.

Taking the waist card from the hands of the soldiers, Meng followed Wang Tingshi into the gate, bypassed the shadow wall, passed through the lobby and the second hall, walked into the third hall along the paved stone road, and lined up seven wings on the left and right.

The lobby is for people to see, the second hall is for office, and the third hall lives by itself, as long as it does not violate the system, it is not impossible to trim it slightly.

Rules are rules, and it doesn't prevent officials from making their lives more comfortable.

During Zhu Gaoxu's stay in Kaipingwei, he stayed in the east wing of the third hall of the command envoy.

Wang Tingshi led Meng to the door of a wing room on the east side, and the guards outside the door were all tall, with hard faces, and their clothes were obviously different from those of the border army.

One-color skirt, crossed corners, sunflower belts, soap boots. Carrying a long, slightly narrow knife, his back is straight, and when he looks at people, his eyes seem to be carrying a knife.

On them, you can vaguely see the shadow of half Shen Deputy Qianhu.

Meng was sure that this should be the guard of the palace, and it was not a system with the border army.

"Meng Zongqi is waiting here for the time being, let's go and report first."

The king stooped down and entered the door, and after a while, the voice of the king summoned came from inside.

Meng took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with him, before stepping into the room.

The room is brightly lit, and the tables and chairs are not surprisingly arranged.

Sitting at the top sat a young man wearing a big red narrow-sleeved robe and a jade belt around his waist, and Wang Tingshi bowed down and stood beside the young man.

You don't need to look closely, this is definitely the main one.

Meng immediately knelt down, "I've seen the king of the county!" ”

When he came, the king had already taught him the etiquette of meeting the royal family, and he was not happy, so he could only bend his knees.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Meng with some surprise, he was able to lead more than 50 border troops to repel the Tartars many times and firmly defend the lookout platform, he thought he would be a sturdy man. Even if you are a scholar, you should at least be an ape with a bee waist and a passable face. I didn't expect it to be like this.

Not to mention that it will fall as soon as the wind blows, and looking at the face, you can't help but wonder, is it really the age of joining the army?

"Get up."

Zhu Gaoxu's voice still has the hoarseness of the voice change period, and his outline has begun to show fortitude. With thick eyebrows and handsome eyes and a square chin, judging from his appearance, King Yan should also be called handsome.

"Lone has heard of you." Zhu Gaoxu saw that Meng's expression was restrained, stood up, and walked up to him with his hands behind his back, "In order to avenge my father and brother, I abandoned my pen and joined the army to kill the Tartars, and I was also promoted as a filial friend by the Wanping County Order." ”

"Don't dare to be lowly!"

"Lone is curious." Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head slightly, "Can you really kill the Tartar?" ”

"Back to the king of the county, it's true, and you don't dare to lie about your feats."

"That's right." Zhu Gaoxu took two steps back, "You are under Shen Xuan's hands, you really dare to do this, your head is long gone." Those old horsemen in the palace said that they couldn't look good, probably like you? ”

Meng nodded, agreeing.

When Deputy Shen was still a hundred, he almost moved his head for this reason.

Judging people by their appearance is really not advisable!

While speaking, Zhu Gaoxu turned around and picked up a few drawings from the table, which were the bunker built by Meng officiating, as well as the modified canopy and Wugang car.

"All you came up with?"

"Back to the county king, exactly."

"Oh, from the war book?" Zhu Gaoxu unfolded the drawings with the bunker, "Have you read the fragment of the General Essentials of the Martial Arts?" ”

"Humble is not ......"

"Alright. Lone is most annoyed by those crepe old horsemen, if you dare to speak like this, Lone will order you to beat your military stick. ”

Meng: "......" Who did he provoke?! It's a sin to speak?!

"Come, tell Gu carefully, here, and here, Gu can't understand it. Also, Mr. Gu thinks that this bunker should be built higher......"

The king of Gaoyang turned his face faster than he turned the book, and before Meng could reflect on what was wrong with the way he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu had already pulled him to the table, spread out the drawings on the table, and began to ask with great interest, "You also set up a horse rejection and trap?" Tell me about Lonely. ”

Zhu Gaoxu asked energetically, Meng was sweating on his forehead, and he wanted to say something, he was happy to explain, but could you let go of his wrist first? Next year is not very old, why is the strength so great?

Meng tried to earn it, but Zhu Gaoxu finally noticed it, but he didn't let go immediately, but simply lifted Meng's wrist, shook it, and snorted, "Why is it so thin?" Like a little girl. ”

Meng gritted his teeth and tried to tell himself not to be angry.

In front of Shen Deputy Qianhu, he dared to argue with reason, and there were thousands of reasons. In front of Zhu Gaoxu, doing so is tantamount to looking for death.

Deputy Shen Qianhu put on a cold face again, at least he was reasonable. This King of Gaoyang County may not be.

Even if Zhu Gaoxu doesn't do it, those warriors outside will do it for him.

That's status and power.

Meng kept luck, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be unconscious, and Wang Tingshi and the others who were waiting indoors, but their eyes were about to bulge.

King of the Counties, what's going on?

At this time, Shen Xuan, who had returned to the Thousand Households, had already learned from the scribe that Meng had come to visit him and was taken away by the eunuchs around the king of Gaoyang County.
