Chapter 31: The Eunuch of Bingbi

Grandpa Long asked:

"Is it Lord Weiting Hou Lanziyi?"

Lan Ziyi clasped his fists and saluted:

"Ziyi has seen Grandpa Long."

Grandpa Long smiled and said:

"Wei Hou doesn't have to be polite." Then he tilted his head, as if looking at Lan Ziyi carefully, and said:

"Why is Wei Hou angry?"

When Lan Ziyi heard Gonggong Long ask, he first didn't control himself and reached out to touch his chin, and then replied:

"The black light is blinding, I'm afraid Grandpa Long is wrong, Ziyi entered the palace for the first time in his life, it's too late to be happy, how dare he be angry."

When Lan Ziyi spoke, Gonggong Long had already led people to him, he first glanced at the little father-in-law who led the way, and then looked at the Tao brothers, and when Lan Ziyi finished speaking, he asked:

"Wei Hou entered the palace to find Father-in-law Yu?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"Father-in-law Yu has been supervising the army in Beizhen for a long time, and his father is the same father and son as Father-in-law Yu. This time, Ziyi went to Beijing to serve King De, and Father-in-law Yu specially instructed me to reminisce about the past. ”

Grandpa Long smiled slightly when he heard this, and asked again:

"Since you're reminiscing, why do you leave so quickly?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"It's not early, how dare you say it's fast?"

Grandpa Long to:

"Every time you even eat, there's no movement in the imperial dining room."

Lan Ziyi's heart suddenly became nervous when he heard this, he didn't expect this Gonggong Long to control the palace so tightly.

Seeing that Lan Ziyi didn't speak for a while, Gonggong Long asked:

"Wei Hou is going out of the palace?"

Lan Ziyi responded.

Grandpa Long asked again:

"Which door is the waist card used?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"I used the waist card of Zhaoxianmen."

After hearing this, Grandpa Long said:

"Wei Hou lives in King De's Mansion now, right? There is still a long way to go out from the recruitment gate. In this case, I will take the Marquis of Wei out from the west to get rid of evil. Then he turned to the little father-in-law next to him and said:

"You go back first, and I'll show Wei Hou the way later."

The father-in-law who led the way bent over and twisted there, and said in embarrassment:

"Duke Yu ordered the villain to personally send Wei Hou out of the palace, and I can't go back to Yu Gong at this time."

Grandpa Long nodded when he heard this, and said:

"Then you can follow us and send Wei Hou out with me."

As he spoke, he turned around and walked two steps and saw that Lan Ziyi didn't follow, so he gave way:

"Wei Hou, please."

Lan Ziyi looked back at the Tao brothers, and after the two sides changed their looks, they followed Father-in-law Long.

The eunuch who led the way had no choice but to follow behind Gonggong Long.

Grandpa Long smiled, and said as he led the way:

"Wei Hou didn't know, when Emperor Gaozu built the capital, it cost a lot, this palace is even more every inch of land, the granite of the outer wall is taken from several stone factories along the river, the green bricks under our feet are transported from the north and south of the river, the red wall and glazed tiles inside are fired by several coastal cities in Dazheng, and transported back from the sea and land. And the construction of the first three halls and the back of the three points of the girder of the golden silk nanmu is to order people to go to the deep mountains and old forests everywhere to look carefully, to find the right wood in order to be shipped, and it took a lot of effort, and a lot of people died in the middle. This palace city exhausts the world's skilled craftsmen for more than ten years, and takes the essence of the imperial palace of the past dynasties to build, it is really the palace of ten thousand palaces, and there is no one who has come after the ancients. Walking here, it is quite fascinating. ”

Grandpa Long said about Miyagi, like a number of family treasures, as if he was talking about his own family.

Lan Ziyi followed beside him and was full of suspicion, and asked:

"My father-in-law, as the master of ceremonies, is busy with business, why did he come to the recruitment gate so late?"

Grandpa Long smiled and said:

"In the early spring, the evening breeze is intoxicating, just now I had dinner and suddenly my heart was disturbed, so I wanted to go out for a walk, but I didn't expect to meet Weihou halfway, it's really fate."

Lan Ziyi just smiled and didn't answer the question.

Grandpa Long was very enthusiastic and asked:

"Who are the three people behind Wei Hou? Look at their agility, like soldiers. ”

Lan Ziyi to:

"In such a dim light, Father-in-law Long can still see that he is agile in his hands, and his father-in-law is really good eyesight."

Grandpa Long smiled:

"To do things for the emperor, you should naturally keep your eyes bright, or what if you don't miss those traitorous villains and let them go to the emperor's side to confuse the public? Wei Hou hasn't answered me yet, who are these three sergeants? β€œ

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"These three are my brothers with different surnames, and they grew up together. This time, my three brothers came to Beijing to take care of my life. β€œ

Behind him, the Tao brothers also reported their names one by one.

Gonggong Long nodded and said:

"It's really a good thing for Wei Hou to have such a caring brother by his side." Then Grandpa Long changed his words and asked:

"Has Wei Hou seen King De?"

Lan Ziyi nodded,

Grandpa Long asked again:

"What does Wei Hou think of King De?"

兰子义 says:

"The enlightenment of the saint does not have to choose the most intelligent people to practice, and the foolishness of Ziyi can understand the way of the sage, not to mention the wisdom and wisdom of King De? Ziyi is willing to do his best to be loyal to King De and assist King De on the right path. β€œ

When Father-in-law Long heard this, he was overjoyed and said:

"Good! Good! Good! Ziyi is loyal to his liver and courage, and he is really the pillar of the country. King Dewang is still young, and he is very impulsive to do many things, but this does not mean that King Dewang has a problem with his nature, 'At the beginning of man, his nature is good'. The emperor's selection of the guards is to use the integrity of the guards to influence the king. Sage Yun: 'Straightening up all wrongs, can make the wrongdoers straight', if the Marquis of Wei can really serve the King of De loyally, he will definitely be able to guide the King of Germany to become a generation of Ming Jun. ”

Lan Ziyi was a little surprised when he heard Gonggong Long say this, but he was still very happy, until he heard the words "a generation of Mingjun", Lan Ziyi immediately stood on the ground and didn't leave.

Seeing Lan Ziyi stopping, Gonggong Long turned around and asked:

"Why did Wei Hou stop?"

Lan Ziyi glared at Gonggong Long and scolded sharply:

"Grandpa Long! Now that the Holy Spring and Autumn Period is prosperous, the prince is in the East Palace to supervise the political affairs of the world, there is a monarch and a prince, how can we talk about 'guiding a generation of Ming monarchs'? It is my duty to serve King De and persuade King De to cultivate the way of sages, and as for the position of prince, it is a decision made by the emperor in response to the heavens, not just casually. Father-in-law, do you want to rebel by talking like this? ”

As soon as these words came out, the palace maids and eunuchs present were taken aback, the Tao brothers were used to it, but this Long Gonggong was really arrogant, and the Tao brothers also felt that it was too much.

Gonggong Long stood in place, staring at Lan Ziyi for a long time, and suddenly laughed:

"Sure enough, loyal and courageous! King De has a mentor and friend like Wei Hou, who must be like a tiger! I was speechless just now, and Wei Hou corrected me face to face, this courage and integrity are definitely an example for people in the world. ”

Gonggong Long said as he bowed to Ziyi.

Lan Ziyi was embarrassed to be praised like this, and the arrogant words just now disappeared for a while.

Lan Ziyi also replied:

"Ziyi is just doing what he should do, Gonggong Long, as the master of ceremonies, is a close minister of the emperor, and the authority of the world, he should not say such a rebellious thing."

Long Father-in-law says:

"That's that, it's just that Wei Hou just said that he wants to be loyal to King De, don't you want to assist King De to manage yin and yang, and follow the four times?"

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he said again:

"'In his place he seeks his own government, not in his position does not seek his government!' King De is the king, and the emperor is the son of the king, and the prince is the younger brother, I assist the king of De is to assist the king of Germany to be a good prince, as for the prince, it is a major event in the world, when the emperor and the world decide, as for the result, it is not Ziyi can speculate. But no matter how the emperor decides, Ziyi will do his best to assist King De, which is the responsibility of a courtier. ”

A smile hung on the corner of Grandpa Long's mouth after hearing this, as if he was relieved, and as if he was mocking, and then Grandpa Long shook again and said:

"What Wei Hou said is extremely true, the miscellaneous family has been taught."

After that, Grandpa Long leaned back and said:

"Wei Hou, please put it, the palace ban is heavy, Wei Hou will go to dawn if you don't hurry up."

Lan Ziyi heard what Father-in-law Long said, and it was not good to be at such a glance, so he had to follow again.

After passing through a few more doors, the group's eyes suddenly opened up, and the tactful deep palace path was gone, replaced by an open square, and on the right hand side of everyone was a large hall built on a three-story platform.

Gonggong Long led the group across the square and said:

This is the middle of the first three halls, the diligent government hall, the core of the three halls, is the emperor's early dynasty, the core place to hold various ceremonies. If the marquis has the opportunity to go to court with the ministers in the future, he will come here. ”

Even at night, the grandeur of the Qinzheng Hall also left a deep impression, although there are Langfang on both sides of the main hall to connect the side halls, but the main hall itself still seems abrupt, seemingly independent of the entire palace, as if to tell everyone that the heavens and the earth are the only ones.

Lan Ziyi kept an eye on the main hall until he was led into the west gate of the square by Duke Long and left the Qinzheng Palace Square.

When the group walked into the graceful and secluded red-walled corridor again, Lan Ziyi also took his heart back. Because of the argument with Gonggong Long just now, now Lan Ziyi just wants to walk and doesn't want to say anything.

On the contrary, Gonggong Long didn't seem to take Lan Ziyi's words to heart just now, and continued to speak:

"It is my blessing that the emperor promoted me to the position of the master of ceremonies and the pen, but it seems to make my father-in-law very unhappy."

Lan Ziyi listened to Grandpa Long sigh and sighed to Father-in-law Yu, and didn't answer again, just listened.

Grandpa Long went on to say:

"Father-in-law Yu has worked hard and is loyal to the emperor, he has been supervising the army for so many years, and has won many battles. Father-in-law Yu has been fighting horses all his life, and it may not be appropriate to suddenly switch to clerical work, and the emperor arranged for him to be the commander of Taicheng in the old man's house, also considering giving full play to Father-in-law Yu's expertise. ”

Lan Ziyi heard what Father-in-law Long said, and also understood Father-in-law Yu's complaints, this person spoke in a high-minded tone, as if he was the emperor, and it would definitely be unpleasant to give Father-in-law Yu such an identity.

However, Lan Ziyi was not interested in caring about the inner court battle, and he was not much interested in the wording of Gonggong Long.

Suddenly, Lan Ziyi remembered something, and this matter was not a trivial matter, so he asked:

"Can Gonggong Long remember the battle to destroy the Maoren more than ten years ago?"
