Chapter 53: The Crow's Beak
Yang Xin looked at Xiong Tingbi's back in horror......
He really didn't understand how this guy recognized himself, and with the degree of change in his appearance at this time, it was difficult to connect with the beggar in the first place, even if he looked in the mirror. It shouldn't be possible for Cao Wenzhao to betray him, Lao Cao's righteousness is still trustworthy, I have to say that this kind of thing is too weird.
However, now his fate is in the hands of Xiong Tingbi.
If Xiong Tingbi exposes him......
Then you can only run away, after all, Wanli pardoned only his crime of manslaughter, and Wanli didn't know about it in front of him, and the wanted notice was still posted at the city gate. In other words, he deceived Wanli, so that just one crime of bullying the king is enough to send him to the court, not to mention that he has just beaten the city patrol and a bunch of prisoners, and he is sorry for his accumulated evil deeds without a thousand cuts. On the contrary, if Xiong Tingbi can say a few good words to him, then he will basically be able to survive this catastrophe, after all, he is the commander of the Liaodong battlefield, at this time Wanli is happy to give him a face, and Zuo Guangdou These officials are not good to give him face, after all, he still has a hat on his head.
But......
Why did Xiong Tingbi help him?
Why help a guy with a sword around his neck?
"You always have to pay it back when you come out!"
Yang Xin sighed sadly.
He just looked at Chengtianmen from afar, silently waiting for the verdict of his fate, and he didn't know how long it took, a team of brocade guards suddenly rushed out of Chengtianmen and came straight to this side.
"Xu Yishi, can you go and help me ask first?"
Yang Xin said.
Xu Xianchun thought that he was under too much psychological pressure, so he just smiled and stood up, not knowing that this guy was already planning an escape route, and even holding him hostage was among the options. Xu Xianchun stepped forward to meet the team of brocade guards, and quickly collided head-on, the latter was lower in grade than him, and quickly dismounted and saluted, Yang Xin's good ears immediately heard them talking, and then quickly gave up the idea of escaping.
"Brother Yang, long live the summons!"
Xu Xianchun came back and said.
"Am I changing my clothes?"
Yang Xin looked at the blood stains on his body.
Xu Xianchun was also refreshed, and then took off his straight body to him, and after Yang Xin changed his clothes, he said goodbye to him and followed the team of brocade guards into Chengtianmen, and then still went straight to Qianqing Palace.
This time it's the main hall.
Yang Xin entered the door and saluted, lying there honestly waiting, and at the same time his eyes picked and peeked at Wanli on the throne, he hadn't seen Wanli stand up, and he couldn't be sure if it was bad legs and feet, but it was true that Wanli's health was not good. And he was quite obese, his face was unhealthy white, and he was holding his binoculars in his hand and looking out with interest, but this time Concubine Zheng Guifei did not appear, and next to Wanli was an old eunuch who was also fifty or sixty. However, this one wears a red sticker, wears a three-mountain hat or a steel fork hat on his head, and a complement on his chest, and on it is a dragon-shaped beast with horns and a fishtail.
This is bullfighting.
Pythons, flying fish, and bullfighting are all dragon-shaped, and the difference is only that the python is a dragon's tail, the flying fish is a fishtail, and the bullfighting is a horned fishtail.
And the bullfighting complement represents that this old eunuch is the highest rank of eunuch.
Or a real eunuch.
Not surprisingly, this is the number one eunuch of the Ming Dynasty at this time, the master of ceremonies and the commander of Dongchang Lu Shou. And at this moment, on the right side of the hall is the left Guangdou imperial history, and on the left is Tianqi and Xiong Tingbi, this standing position made Yang Xin breathe a sigh of relief, it was obvious that Xiong Tingbi did not fall into the well, and obviously helped him speak.
That's easy to do.
"It's useful!"
Wanli said holding the binoculars.
"Back to Long Live Lord, this is also taught by the gods, this thing can magnify what you see by four times, even if you are half a mile away, you can see the face clearly."
Yang Xin said.
"Tricks!"
One of the imperial historians sneered.
"This is not true, if this is the case, the army can see farther above, the enemy can at least make more preparations for a sudden attack, if the battle is in battle, this thing can also find its commander in the enemy army, at that time only need to mobilize artillery bombardment."
Xiong Tingbi said with a smile.
"Humph!"
That Yushi snorted coldly.
"Then the five strategies of Pingliao are also taught by the gods?"
Wanli said with interest.
"That's not the work of the grass people alone, the grass people just know more about the terrain of eastern Liao, the five strategies of Pingliao are the grass people and Zuo Zanshan Xu Guangqi's nephew Chen Yujie, and the former Xuanzhen general army subordinate Xiaoqi Cao Wenzhao three people jointly researched. Cao Min understands geography, Chen Shengyuan is familiar with the various ministries and shipping in eastern Liao, and Cao Xiaoqi is familiar with military affairs. ”
Yang Xin said modestly.
"A student, a fugitive, a small flag, it's just a joke!"
Another Goshi said disdainfully.
"Is it still expensive to serve the country with loyalty? For the sake of the country, how can you only go to the court and the princes? Can't the common people be loyal to the country? Aren't the common people qualified to share the worries of the country? What happened to the students? Aren't you born into a human being? What happened to Xiaoqi? Is it Your Excellency who kills the enemy on the battlefield? ”
Yang Xin rebuked righteously.
"That's right, is there a distinction between high and low to serve the country with loyalty? If the people of the world are loyal to the country, why can't I be peaceful in the world? ”
Apocalypse said.
The Imperial Historians responded with silence.
"How dare you assert that there are many traitors among the Liao people?"
Wanli said.
"Your Majesty, who is the wild boar skin? Li Chengliang's house slave at the beginning, which of the old Liaodong generals did he not recognize? Is there any Haoqiang in Liaodong who has never done business with him? How was Fushun Pass lost? Isn't Li Yongfang's experience profound enough? The grass people can assert here that the traitor will also open the gates of Kaiyuan for him, and then open the gates of Tieling, and even the gates of Shenyang and Liaoyang. ”
Yang Xin said.
"Alarmist, unbelievable!"
An imperial historian angrily rebuked him.
However, then he noticed that Wanli's gaze was a little strange.
"Alarmist, unbelievable, unfortunately, he was right!"
Wanli suddenly sneered.
Then he threw a piece of the memorabilia in front of the imperial history.
"Your knowledge is not as good as a common man, Kaiyuan fell, Marin was killed, the city gate opened by the traitor, the traitor attacked Marin in the city and the Jiannu outside the city, and Marin who went out of the city to meet the enemy lost his ground, and the deputy general was killed in the battle of Hualong Kaiyuan, his alarmism was right. The traitor made Daming lose Fushun Pass, and the traitor made Daming lose Kaiyuan, I really want to know if Tieling will be opened by the traitor as he said! ”
He said.
The imperial histories all shut their mouths.
"As for you, the previous crime of accidentally injuring people's lives has been pardoned, but you injured the city patrol Yu Shi was committed after the pardon, and it is not among the pardons, it is a capital crime to resist arrest and injure people by force, but the latter's actions are also unreasonable, the Guozi prisoners did trespass on people's houses, no matter what the reason, you are not guilty of injuring them. As for the illegal dress, because you dressed like this the last time you saw me, even if I have allowed you to do so, what you committed was only to injure the imperial history of the patrol city, but you have made a meritorious contribution to the telescope this time, I will allow you to make meritorious atonements, and go to Liaodong with Xiong Tingbi in white, if you can't cut off ten Jiannu heads, then make up your own heads. ”
Wanli looked at Yang Xin and said.
"Grass people, thank you, Lord Longen!"
Yang Xin hurriedly said.
The Imperial Historians looked at him indignantly.
But they didn't dare to say anything more, Wanli had already made a decision, and any more entanglement would be a slap in the face.
Immediately after Wanli drove them out, everyone hurriedly withdrew from the main hall, those imperial historians brushed their sleeves away one by one, Liu Yushi was even more angry, Wanli's ruling was obviously an accusation against him, so that soon only Yang Xin and three people were left in front of the Qianqing Palace.
"Don't forget my Rubik's Cube!"
Apocalypse said.
"Don't worry, I'll send it to you tomorrow!"
Yang Xin said.
"Write more about what you know, in case you die in Liaodong!"
Apocalypse said very shamelessly.
"The emperor's eldest grandson, you can't expect me to be good, anyway, I'm also going to kill the enemy for the country, but I'll try my best, you'd better go back and find a few people who write fast to Xu Zanshan's mansion, I'll try my best to record what I know, let them record more, as for whether these are what you want, I don't care, in short, I just say it as I want, but there is no guarantee of what I say."
Yang Xin said.
"Then I'll keep an eye on you myself!"
Apocalypse said.
Then he nodded to Xiong Tingbi and walked away by himself in the latter's salute.
"Xiong Jingluo, thank you!"
Yang Xin then said to Xiong Tingbi.
"I still underestimate you!"
Xiong Tingbi said with interest.
"I'm curious, too, how did you recognize me?"
Yang Xin said suspiciously.
"Do you know how you are different from others?"
Xiong Tingbi said.
"Please make it clear!"
Yang Xin said.
"The words you use when you speak, if you don't speak, then Xiong is indeed unrecognizable, your current appearance is the same as before, it is indeed nothing more than recognition, however, as soon as you open your mouth, it is not only Xiong, anyone who has heard you speak and remembers you especially deeply, can instantly distinguish. Xiong doesn't know where you came from or what your previous identity was, but you are really different from others here, people's appearance can change, but daily habits are difficult to change. ”
Xiong Tingbi said.
"Am I like a firefly in the black?"
Yang Xin said.
That's true.
No matter how he adapts to the way people speak in this era, the habits he has developed since childhood are not so easy to change after all, and in less than two months, it is impossible for him to change from a modern person to a Ming Dynasty person anyway, just the daily habit of words, he is different from others. It is said that the vernacular of the Ming Dynasty is not the modern vernacular, although this does not affect the communication between each other, because his words are also used by people at this time, but they will not be used like him, but the meaning is not different. People who hadn't heard him speak before felt a little strange at most when they heard him speak, but if it was someone who had a deep memory of him before, people would really tell it as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Xiong will leave the day after tomorrow, you still have a day and two nights to prepare!"
Xiong Tingbi said.
