Chapter 372: Captain Li of the Golden Colonel (2-in-1 6,000-word Grand Chapter)
"Are you sure that Guan Chenglin will not live for long?" Ye Kai looked at Eunuch Li, who bowed his head and bent over beside him, deliberately acting like a servant.
Although he had already decided to use Ye Sheng to replace himself and go north, Ye Kai knew that it was better not to be too conspicuous in this matter.
Vaguely knowing and knowing, those are two different things, the former can be said to be a momentary negligence, and the latter is ill-intentioned.
On the Manchu side, there are only two people who have seen Ye Kaimian, one is Shang Weisheng Shangzongzhen, and the other is Guan Chenglin.
Among these two people, Shang Weisheng is relatively easy to control, but Guan Chenglin is not something that Ye Kai can control, and when he is troubled, it is Eunuch Li who offers a clever plan.
Poisoned!
The old eunuch said that he had a secret method of refining the medicine in his hand, and it was believed that the person who was persuaded to take the medicine would not die immediately, but would have difficulty breathing, fatigue, and dizziness, and would die after several months.
To be honest, Ye Kai actually doesn't believe in this thing very much, the so-called pulling medicine is not the poison refined from strychnine!
And this thing also dies instantly, and I have rarely heard of any effect that can make people chronically poisoned and live for several months before dying.
Moreover, these ancients liked to make some fancy names the most, making simple things mysterious and mysterious, and they were not very credible.
However, this poison is quite a bit in later generations, and 10 milliliters of paraquat can directly cause pulmonary fibrosis or something, and it can indeed make people suffer before dying.
But there's no way there's paraquat in this era, right?
Eunuch Li did not immediately answer Ye Kai's words, but began to tidy up his clothes in a very rhythmic manner, looking as if he was about to start some kind of ritual.
Ye Kai didn't stop this old eunuch either, because he always felt that there was something in this old eunuch that he couldn't see through, and he wanted to see what tricks this old guy could play?
Eunuch Li finished tidying up his clothes, and then looked at Ye Kai with perfect manners and made a big bow in the nine bows.
This is the great gift of the ancient courtiers to pay homage to the king, and after the salute, Eunuch Li knelt on the ground, raised his head for the first time, and looked directly at Ye Kai with burning eyes.
"The old slave Li Wensheng, born in the first year of Yuzong of the Li family and the emperor Yongsheng, has been alive for 80 years and 4 years!
Seven sons of heaven who served the Li family, including Yuzong, Chunzong, Yizong, Xianzong, Aizong, and Youzong.
I have also seen ten generations of Zheng lords such as King Ding, Duke Liangjun, Duke of Jin, King An, King Quan, King Ming, King Jing, King Diandu, King Duannan, and King Yandu of the Zheng family! β
Boy!
Ye Kai was almost about to applaud, he survived the seven Li Dynasty kings alone, not counting Li Weiqi, who had just been killed by Ye Kaiyin.
As for the Zheng Lord, this guy sent away ten in one go, and almost all of them sent away a dynasty!
"Among these kings or shogunate masters, there are ruthless people, cowardly ones, and greedy for pleasure, but from the perspective of old slaves, if these people take off the halo of the Son of Heaven and the king on their bodies, they are no different from ordinary people, saying that they are noble and immortals, but in fact, they are all ordinary people!"
Speaking of this, Li Wensheng and Eunuch Li's eyes lit up!
"Only the king, the old slave can't see through, sometimes you are like a peasant boy, sometimes you are like a heavenly man, sometimes you are blind to the changes in front of you, but sometimes you have a long-term vision like an unpredictable prophet, sometimes you act quite naΓ―ve, sometimes you are cruel and terrible.
For example, the king's means of agitating the whole Da Nan, whether it is to determine the identity or encourage people to go south to be the master, it is a superb means to manipulate people's hearts!
is not a person who has gone through hardships and dangers and seen through people's hearts, and he will never think of such a trick to stir people's hearts and play with the gentry and wealthy families.
The old slave has never seen such a contradiction in a person! Could this be the real Son of Heaven, the unpredictable Son of Heaven? β
Ye Kai's pupils shrank, and he slowly turned to look at Eunuch Li, now it seems that this old eunuch is indeed a little unusual!
Eighty-four, looking like he was in his sixties, and as a servant in the palace, he wondered so much about the emperor he served, what did he want to do?
And the observation is quite careful, as a traverser, Ye Kai does reflect everywhere, and the place that is incompatible with the people of this world.
The long-term vision is like an unpredictable prophet, and that is because he does know the general context of this era.
Those superb methods of manipulating people's hearts are borrowed from the Taizu of the Red Dynasty, who is the Taizu of the Red Dynasty? When Tang Taizong saw it, he also had to shout the existence of 666.
But if you put these aside, Ye Kai is indeed just an ordinary farmer, otherwise he would not be thirty-four years old in his previous life, he would still be just a naval captain, and in the end he would be mixed up to the point of manipulating sea grasshoppers.
You must know that the classmates who studied with him at a maritime academy in the north have already served on the Nanchang ship.
Ye Kai was almost the worst among their classmates, and he barely made an inch of progress after graduation.
And this kind of self-contradiction, in the eyes of Eunuch Li, has become unpredictable!
In the words of later generations, when a person is just the right amount of stupidity, you can't tell if he is really stupid or fishing.
Seeing that Ye Kai didn't interrupt him, Eunuch Li went down to the ground and bowed to Ye Kai.
"King, please rest assured, no one can see the clue to the medicine prepared by the old slave himself!
The angel of the Northern Dynasty Guan should have been terminally ill, and he would die in Huangquan in two months at most, and now it is estimated that he is already chest tightness and shortness of breath, unable to breathe, with Venus in his eyes, and his sanity is damaged.
If the king can invite the governor of Fukangan of the Northern Dynasty to Zhennanguan and his party within two months, as long as the prince copes with it properly, the angel of the pass will definitely not be able to distinguish from the distance from Zhennanguan, and will only feel quite similar.
If there is another cousin of the king, Li Gongzi and Shang Zongzhen, to prove that the prince is the king, this matter will be stable, and as long as the governor of Fukangan of the Northern Dynasty has seen the prince under the south pass of the town, the prince can set off. β
Ye Kai always felt that things were not as light as Eunuch Li said, even if this poison existed, it would not be colorless and tasteless!
In this world, all synthetic poisons must not be colorless and tasteless, even if they are natural snake venom or something, it is impossible to do it.
Then Guan Chenglin is not stupid, how could Eunuch Li say that the poisoning was successful?
Thinking of this, Ye Xingxing's doubts were even greater, he looked at Eunuch Li and said coldly: "Eunuch won't tell me that this poison is colorless and tasteless, right?" Or that Guan Chenglin doesn't argue about the ten colors, and he doesn't observe the five flavors! β
"Returning to the king, there is a colorless and tasteless poison in the world, the old slave is poisonous, the color is slightly black, the taste is very bitter, it is easy to be noticed, and the taste of the angels of the Northern Dynasty Guan is not hindered!"
"And how did you get this poison? Tie Guan Chenglin's hands and feet? β
Ye Kai smiled, black, the taste is still bitter, it is estimated that it smells a little similar to traditional Chinese medicine, Guan Chenglin has to be stupid to drink it without any scruples.
Eunuch Li looked at Ye Kai who was sneering, his face darkened, and a somewhat painful expression appeared.
"Although this medicine is black and bitter and has a peculiar smell, it can be integrated into wine, and you only need to find one or two good honey wines.
The rock sugar refined by the king is the best frosting used to make honey wine, and after the honey wine is adjusted, there will naturally be beautiful lips slowly crossing it, and when the love and honey are strong, the moment of exploration with both hands, who cares about anything else? β
Ye Kai was stunned, this is really feasible, first drink half drunk, and then use the mouth of a beauty to make a wine glass.
That Guan Chenglin is a drunkard who likes this way, and he will definitely be tricked, but if he does this, Guan Chenglin will definitely be poisoned alone.
There is a problem with the famous prostitute who accompanied him!
Ye Kai immediately thought that the so-called famous prostitute of Shenglong, who had been accompanying Guan Chenglin, was also ordered by Eunuch Li to find it.
"Xiao Yuexian has already left, it was the old slave who personally sent her, since her lover died in the hands of the officials and soldiers of the Northern Dynasty, he didn't want to live.
She said every day that as long as she repaid the kindness of the old slave, she would have no more debts in this world! Eunuch Li said softly, and suddenly there was no joy or sorrow on his white face.
Hiss! Ye Kai took a breath of cold air, fortunately, he didn't actually trust the palace maids and eunuchs of the Shenglong Imperial City led by Eunuch Li.
These guys really have a problem, they are good at preparing poisons, and they can also drive the dead outside the palace!
Made, the kings of the Li Dynasty, lived among a bunch of such people, no wonder there were seven or eight Li Dynasty kings in a row, none of whom lived long, and immediately moved out of the broken palace after returning by himself!
Seeing Ye Kai's face change, Eunuch Li suddenly smiled, his long white old face looked particularly weird.
"The kings of the Li Dynasty are incompetent, they are just puppets of the Zheng family's officials, and they are not worthy of such a means by the old slaves!
Since Li Li, the Taizu of the Li Dynasty, there has been no king in this Tiannan land, but the king is talented, and when the old slave sees the king, he feels that this Da Nan is going to produce a male lord after all!
is to follow willingly, but the old slave and the slave dare to manipulate life and death in front of the king, which is really the way to die.
Therefore, the old slave had already prepared a real pill for himself, and asked the king to give him some honey wine, which was easier to swallow. β
After speaking, the old eunuch gracefully took out a small box from his arms, and then took out a purple-black pill from the box and gently placed it on the ground.
After doing this, he raised his head and looked at Ye Kai, as if he was waiting for Ye Kai to give him wine.
Hehe! Ye Kai laughed, if he believed this old thing, then he would be really stupid!
What Ye Kai actually didn't believe in the most was the so-called bowing.
No one will bow down to a certain person without any benefit to him, and give his all, even if he is a fool, he has his own pursuits.
For example, the eunuch Li in front of him, who is still so well maintained at the age of eighty, with long jade-colored nails, which look like some kind of work of art, and the smell of urine on his body has been covered up very well by him with incense, such a person would be willing to die?
Who would risk their own lives? Only the kind of young people who have nothing, no daughter-in-law, no property, and have eaten the last meal will not hesitate their lives to fight for a wealth under the excitement of blood, and there are many such young people in Ye Kai's revival army.
And under normal circumstances, the older you are, the more you cherish your life!
From the elderly people Ye Kai came into contact with, none of them who had lived for seventy or eighty years felt that they had lived enough, and they all wanted to live to be three or five hundred years old.
The older a person gets, the more afraid he is of death, Ye Kai doesn't believe that this Eunuch Li really wants to die!
He didn't feel that he was the master of heaven, so that this Li Eunuch would decide to live and die from the moment he saw him, and he would not hesitate to use a dead soldier for him, and he would also take his own life.
Ye Kai walked over slowly, kicked away the box and pills that Eunuch Li had placed in front of him with one kick, and then stretched out his hand to tidy up the eunuch green gauze hat on his head for Eunuch Li, Ye Kai opened his mouth coldly.
"In front of the Lone King, you'd better tell the truth honestly, the eunuch said that the Lone King was the lord of the heavens, but in his heart he still fooled me as a mediocre genius like the kings of the Li clan.
If you want to die, you will die yourself, the lonely king will not give you any honey wine, if you don't want to die, then say what you really think!
If you still want to pretend to be a god and a ghost, do you believe that the Lone King immediately washed the Ascending Dragon Imperial City in blood? It's just a thousand people, and the lonely king can do it! β
Eunuch Li didn't reply to Ye Kai's words, but first picked up the pill that was kicked away by Ye Kai, and then swallowed the pill directly in front of Ye Kai!
Ye Kai's heart trembled, and he forcibly stopped the movements of his body.
"Codonopsis, Astragalus, Atractylodes, Angelica, Rehmannia, and other sixteen tonic are refined, and there are not many left, so they can't be wasted!"
After eating the pill, Eunuch Li showed the kind of flattering smile that Ye Kai often saw.
"The old slave is indeed loyal to the king, and he does have a request, in the Shenglong Imperial City, there are a total of 1,371 people like the old slave and the palace people who have accumulated years.
Everyone thinks that I am waiting for the king, and if I live in the imperial city, I will surely enjoy endless glory and wealth!
But who knows, the emperor of the Li Dynasty is incompetent, he is held hostage by the Zheng family, although Jiaozhi is rich, but the emperor of the Li Dynasty can only get a little bit of the scraps, and even the construction of mountains and tombs for the previous kings is stretched.
The remaining three melons and two dates are not enough for the Li king and the clan to enjoy, how can they still shine on our slaves?
There are more than 1,300 slaves in the imperial city, and there are only seventy or eighty people who can have no worries about food and clothing, and the rest are not as good as farmers in the fields.
A bowl of brown rice and a cup of cabbage are all to be grabbed by breaking your head, and it is common not to eat a bite for a day or two.
There are many palace maids, since the old slave entered the palace at the age of three, I saw them starving, cold and freezing lonely in this remnant life, many people entered the palace at the age of eight or nine, and stayed until they were in their twenties and went crazy!
Our servants in the imperial city are the weeds on the side of the road, and the king is the heavens, whether it is thunder, rain and dew, or warm sun and wind, they all come from the king.
But if the king himself is unable to protect himself, how can these wild flowers and weeds on the roadside have any way to live?
Since the old slave was sensible, he was hoping that the Li Dynasty would produce a Ming lord who could take back power from the Zheng family's officials, so that we, the wild flowers and weeds, could also live like a human being, but this wait is seventy years!
Until today, the old slave saw hope in the king, the old slave really didn't want to die, but there was no way to make the king pay attention to us, so he had to take this opportunity to show his means.
However, after this incident, the king will never allow a person who dares to deploy poison in the imperial city to stay in the world, so he will ask the king to kill me, and the 1,370 people in the living dragon city will not be allowed to stay in the world, right? β
"The ancient palace is sparse, and the palace flowers are lonely and red.
The white-headed palace maid is here, sitting idle and talking about Xuanzong. β
Ye Kai gently recited this poem by Yuan Zhen, this imperial city, for the emperor and king in the city, is actually a cage.
Once inside, future generations will be like being kept in captivity, with great power and more shackles.
Emperors are like this, and so are the palace people who are attached to the emperor, and the green silk and red face enter the imperial city, and the white head and withered face cannot come out!
There is no lover, no heirs, and even no name in my life, except for loneliness or loneliness!
Ye Kai sighed, this deformed oriental cage should be changed, otherwise most of his children and grandchildren will become cattle and sheep in captivity in the small imperial city.
In the resentful curse of so many people in the White Head Palace, what royal family can have a good result? That kind of depressing region, can there be some psychopathology?
"That's it, just an old slave who is struggling to survive, you don't mean to harm me, you don't need to die, you will live in the imperial city of Hue!
You immediately order someone to count the number of palace attendants in Hue Imperial City and Thang Long Imperial City, and all those who are willing to go home in the palace are allowed to be taken back, and their own finances are also allowed to be taken away.
Those who do not want to go home or have no home, Chinese New Year's Eve the palace people who are under the age of five and above are given to the unmarried men who have gone south from Cochin.
When these men arrived in Jiuzhen, most of them had a general position, as well as a mansion and more than 50 acres of land, which was enough to make people worry about food and clothing.
But these people are so vulgar and unliterate that they don't know how to appease the countryside, establish their prestige, and give them some palace people, just enough to teach them.
Those who are under the age of twenty-five and above fifteen will be given to the three towns of the lonely king and the meritorious ministers of the Han'er Xiaojie army.
It was determined that he was a descendant of the Han family, with a superior appearance and a good understanding of literature and ink, so he gave the Fuxing Army of the Lone King as his wife.
Under the age of fifteen, they will stay in the palace for the time being, and the lonely king has some means of making a living to teach them.
Thang Long Imperial City and Hue Imperial City, except for the main hall sealed as the imperial palace, the rest of the palaces, palaces, the lone king will change them into schools, in the future Nghe Sin University will be built in Thang Long Imperial City, and Fuxing University will be built in Hue Imperial City.
The old palace people and chamberlains who are unwilling to leave will do some sprinkling and sweeping in these universities, and the lonely king will pay you silver on a monthly basis, and return your free body!
Since the lonely king, the imperial city does not use eunuchs only palace people, palace people enter the palace at the age of nine, ten years, and those who are willing to leave at the end of the year can apply to leave.
The eunuch palace maid is so peerless, and the system of breaking off family affection will end from the lonely king! β
"King Shengming! The king is truly the Lord of Benevolence! Ye Kai said a lot, and the old eunuch was finally moved.
He was stunned for almost half a minute, and his whole face seemed to glow!
After being stunned, Eunuch Li slowly and heavily slammed his head to the ground, like pounding garlic, until the blood on his forehead was dripping with blood, and snot and tears flowed all over his face.
"In the Thang Long Imperial City, there are still thousands of urns, most of which record their origins, please give the king some money, and allow them to return to their hometowns for burial, and no longer be a lonely ghost!"
"Accurate!" Ye Kai nodded in agreement, what the fuck is this imperial city, it's a fucking cemetery!
With so many ashes in it, and so much resentment from the people of the White Head Palace, can you be strong by living in it?
"The former Li Wei Wei is just a yellow-mouthed child, who has neither hope nor talent, please forgive him and let him be a rich prisoner!
The throne of the great king was obtained by driving out the traitor Xishan clan, and he set aside the chaos to make Annan return to the Han family, and the country was very right, and it was no longer something that the Li clan could threaten.
Li Heng, the ancestor of the Li family, is the descendant of the Li family who moved south in Licheng, Shanxi, and there is no doubt that he is a Han person. β
Levy Wai Kham? Ye Kai glanced at Eunuch Li suspiciously, he almost forgot about this unlucky bastard!
It is said that after he was driven away from Yongxiang Mansion, whenever he went, the local gentry seemed to be hiding from the plague god, and then disappeared, but he did not expect to be hidden by this old eunuch.
"The eunuch is really broad-minded!" Ye Kai snorted lightly.
Eunuch Li knocked his head to the ground again, and said in a sad voice: "Li Weiji's mother, I personally brought her into the palace, she was only eight years old at the time, and she was extremely close to me, and the old slave regarded her as a granddaughter!"
The old slave really can't bear the death of her only son, and the old slave is willing to exchange Li Weiji's life for a big thing! β
"Alright! That's right, this Li Weiwei is also my nephew, so let's spare his life! β
Ye Kai nodded, he accepted Li Weiji's little aunt Li Shi Yuxin, and now Li Weiqian has no threat to him, but he can strengthen his authority, and he is an uncle, so it is okay to leave him a small life, as long as he knows each other.
"The old slave bows to the king!" Eunuch Li knocked his head numb today.
"The old slave knew that the king was short of money to build a mine, so he did not hesitate to bow his head to the Northern Dynasty, in order to absorb the gold and silver of the Northern Dynasty to revitalize Jiaozhi, the old slave thanked the king for his benevolence, and was willing to relieve the king's worries!"
Hey? How are you old slave going to help me? The lack of money in industrialization is not a star, and it is impossible that there are any secret treasures in the Imperial City of Shenglong, right?
Looking at Ye Kai's puzzled eyes, Eunuch Li said with a resolute expression: "Although Annan is poor, not as poor as the Central Plains, it is also a big country in Tiannan, and there are many treasures in the tombs of the emperors of the past dynasties!"
The old slave knows where those who know how to build the emperor's tomb are, and he is willing to recruit them for the king, and dig the tombs of the kings of the past dynasties, and they will get ten thousand gold! β
What the hell is your bad idea?
Ye Kai suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, Boss Cao touched Captain Jin and General Faqiu Zhonglang, and was scolded by later generations for thousands of years!
I have already received Li's Yuxin, and I have no grudge against the Li Dynasty, so it's too unreasonable to dig up other people's tombs, right?
"The king is too worried, the lords of the Li Dynasty are just puppets of the Zheng family, and they can have a few gold, jewels and jade into the tomb, and what the old slave wants to dig is the tomb of the Zheng lord of the past dynasties!
Lord Zheng has ruled Da Nan for a hundred years, the tombs will be rich, and almost all the descendants of the Zheng family have been killed by Ruan Hui, and there are few obstacles!
The king can go south on the same day to pacify Rinan and even Zhenla, and the old slave excavates the tomb of the Zheng family in the north, and all the gold and silver obtained are used for His Majesty's grand plan, when not less than three million taels of silver!
Of course, this is all because I, an old slave, are greedy and vicious, loyal to the Li Dynasty, deliberately destroying the tomb of the Zheng family, and have nothing to do with the king! β
