Chapter 8: The One-Eyed Thor
Gao Jinbao was not a pirate, but he had to put a thick black blindfold over his left eye. This made his only surviving mung bean eye look a little abrupt. As the saying goes, ugly people are more to blame, but who can understand the helplessness of ugly people? In addition to the pleasure of being seen at a glance, he felt dizzy more often than not. When it rains on a cloudy day, half of the brain is numb. All in all, the pain of "Thor" is beyond the comprehension of mortals.
In the past year, Sammo Ko's small life has been quite nourishing, except for occasional physical discomfort. The strong Taiping army has forgotten the embarrassment of fleeing from the capital, and Gao Jinbao is no longer satisfied with being only a "thunder god", he wants to be the emperor. Comparatively speaking, being an emperor does have more benefits, there are more than a few "virgins" around him, and there are three thousand beauties in the harem. What he is playing with in his hand is no longer to loot a few pieces of jewelry and jade from Qin Ye, and the treasures of the world can be in his pocket.
The impatient Gao Jinbao finally erected the gold-lettered signboard of "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" and proclaimed himself "Heavenly Father", "Holy Father", "Priest" and "Godfather". Anyway, everyone just sees him call him Dad! If you want to politely add him to a WeChat circle of friends or something, people won't tease you with a single eye! If you don't get it right, you'll have your head cut off. The small goal that Yang Mingyi failed to achieve in his whole life was achieved by Gao Jinbao in the blink of an eye.
Mencius said: Mediocre people are always looking for excuses for mediocrity, while real cattle people are only looking for death for themselves!
The news of the establishment of the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" by the Taiping Army reached the capital and shocked the government and the public.
The young Shengshang had to hold a closed-door meeting with the courtiers who lit lamps and boiled oil for several days, greatly revised the original strategic plan, and finally reached a consensus: in the spring of the next year, General Yan Lao will lead 200,000 new troops to protect the country and eradicate the bold and reckless Taiping bandits.
The news of the establishment of the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" by the Taiping Army reached Pingzhou City, the base camp of the Red Turban Army, causing a 3.5-magnitude earthquake.
Liu Qian couldn't sit still, and was very depressed in his heart: what kind of thing is he Gao Jinbao and the Taiping Army? At most, he is a little brother among the twelve anti-kings! And the Red Turban Army has just destroyed the Black Flag Army, and the momentum is like the sky, why did he steal the limelight? So, Liu Qian decided: In the spring of the coming year, establish the Great Chu Empire! I am the most qualified to be the emperor. From now on, we should pay close attention to drawing up the list of princes and princes from all walks of life.
The news of the establishment of the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" by the Taiping Army reached the station of the "Ma Jiajun". Ma Maoxun was sitting around the fireplace with his subordinates, drinking and having fun while roasting the fire, he smiled slightly, played with the cup in his hand, turned his head and said to a subordinate: "Gao Jinbao, I'm afraid this guy will die soon!" ”。
Being an emperor is a chore, especially for those who haven't played it before. Gao Jinbao ordered a special person to monitor and rush to make many necessities such as dragon robes, crowns, and jade seals overnight. At the same time, he communicated with his cronies day and night, arguing over the division of various official positions.
The dragon robe was made first, Gao Jinbao tried it, and couldn't help but be furious, and ordered two tailors to be beheaded. Because the dragon robe is too wide and ill-fitting, he looks like a big horse monkey no matter how he looks at it, and lacks the prestige of dominating the world. The tailors who survived trembled and remade it overnight, and Gao Jinbao strictly ordered that if any of them missed the enthronement ceremony, the supervisor and the producer in charge of that work would be killed.
Shanihada's face was full of anger, and he hurried into the yurt. He viciously glanced at the group of maids who were crawling on the ground and trembling, and shouted: "Come on, drag all these useless things down and chop them up and feed them to the wolves!" ”。 The maids, who were already half frightened to death, cried out in horror when they heard this, and lay on the ground and kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy.
"Don't...... It's me who wants to die, and it has nothing to do with them! ”。 Sulunga, with unkempt black hair and a pale and haggard face, struggled to raise her head from the couch and said.
The original fierce expression on Shanihada's face was swept away, and in an instant, the tenderness in his eyes was like water, and he walked quickly to Sulunga's couch and whispered: "My beautiful princess, why do you want to practice yourself like this without eating or drinking? You know my heart is bleeding! Even if you haven't fallen in love with me yet, you should at least take care of your body, right?! ”。 As he spoke, he stretched out his big furry hand to grab Sulunga's small hand.
Su Lunga quickly removed his arm and turned his head away in disgust without saying a word. Shanihada was stunned for a moment, sighed and hesitated before straightening up.
Turning around, he changed into a cannibalistic and fierce face and shouted at the maids who were prostrate on the ground: "You must serve carefully, since the princess has opened her mouth to intercede with you, this king will spare your life for the time being." What does the princess need, even if it is the stars and the moon in the sky, you just have to boldly ask me for it! But if the princess has something to do, don't even want to live any of you waste! ”。
Amid the sound of the crowd prostrating, Shanihada walked out with his head held high.
In the big tent, a group of weeping maids gathered around Sulunga's bed. A maid said, "Princess, have mercy on us!" The Khan can do what he says. I saw him beat a soldier to death the other day! ”。
Everyone was gossiping, tears rippled, kowtowed, and the scene was very miserable.
Sulunga, who was lying on the couch, had pale lips and slightly closed eyes, and kept her lips closed and remained silent. Two aggrieved and helpless teardrops quietly slipped from the corners of their eyes.
Xu Tianshi, a fortune teller who has been named the "First Great Teacher", has been busy and dizzy recently, and he is anxious. As the commander-in-chief of the enthronement ceremony and the chief financial officer, he wears many hats, for fear that he will not take care of anything that goes wrong.
On this day, Ma Fatzi, the foreman of the contractor who was responsible for the construction of the high platform for the sacrifice to the sky, walked in sweating, and when he saw Xu Tianshi, he bowed to the ground and said: "Xu Tianshi, I said that I would allocate 5,000 taels of silver, and I also signed and painted it, why is it only 2,000 taels?" ”。
Xu Tianshi smiled slightly, waved his sleeves and retreated from everyone, closed the door and turned around and scolded: "I said Ma Fatty, you are too ignorant of lifting!" Without my care for you over the past few years, can we leave all the work of the Taiping Army to you? You iron doesn't pull out a dime, and you don't know how to honor my uncle during the New Year's holiday. Two thousand taels is not a lot! ”。
Ma Fatzi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly nodded and said with a smile: "That's that, what the Heavenly Master said is reasonable, it's a little money addict who neglects your old man." However, this sacrifice to the sky can not be sloppy, in case you don't get the small ones to move! I also hope that the Heavenly Master will be committed. ”
Xu Tianshi pouted in square steps and said, "You don't come to this set!" That sacrificial platform has to be demolished when it's used up, and you're almost done with it. Besides, this Heavenly Master will not embarrass you, tomorrow I will send a team of soldiers over to help you transport the stone fortress, how much labor cost have you saved? Don't know what to do, you kid, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. ”
Ma Fatzi hesitated for a moment, and then saluted again: "Obey the orders of the Heavenly Master, you are a little ignorant. Those three thousand taels of silver are considered small to honor your old man! ”。
Xu Tianshi's face sank, and he said, "Nonsense! The silver saved will be handed over to the treasury by the Heavenly Master! If you dare to talk nonsense again, beware of cutting your tongue! ”。
Ma Fatzi's face changed, and he hurriedly apologized: "Damn it!" Small nonsense! The little one understands! ”。
Hearing the above dialogue, readers should have a good idea of the so-called "tofu scum" project, right? In many cases, it is true that it cannot be all relied on by the contractor, and the main cause is the lack of strong supervision. Moreover, we should maintain a calm mind. Because, the so-called "tofu slag" project has a long history and a long history.
When everything was ready, Xu Tianshi pinched his fingers and counted for half a month, and his fingers were about to be broken, and finally calculated the auspicious day.
On this day, it was still dark outside, and Gao Jinbao couldn't hold back his joy and excitement, and got up early to bathe and change clothes. Dozens of permanent eunuchs who had cut off their little brother at all costs were busy around him. Some combed his hair, some blindfolded him, some put a crown on his head, and some tied him a belt...... It's a lot of fun.
In the square outside, a group of strong men with their faces painted with oil paint, shirtless, and bare feet gathered early. Everyone poured a few large bowls of soju to ward off the cold, and then lined up and danced around the fire. In the firelight, yellow charms flew all over the sky, hundreds of times more violent than snowflakes. The huge lineup of musical instruments also desperately played suona, trumpets, gongs and drums. Dozens of homemade salutes also emitted a deafening roar for fear that the world would not be chaotic.
Hundreds of "princes and ministers" who had also been tossed all night without closing their eyes, wearing brand-new "court clothes", stood respectfully on both sides, and did not dare to wait for the birth of the new emperor.
A little eunuch knelt on the ground and struggled to hold up a huge bronze mirror. The well-dressed Gao Jinbao looked carefully in the mirror, except for the heavy golden blindfold that was not very coordinated and even unsightly, he was quite satisfied with his overall appearance. What especially made him excited was the golden light emanating from the crown on his head.
Gao Jinbao, who was a little excited, turned around and shook off everyone and strode towards the outside of the hall. Due to the fact that the outdoor light was not too good, and because he only had one eye and limited vision, he unfortunately hit the thick door frame on the left with a "bang".
Fortunately, the collision was not heavy and not disfigured. Even so, a group of eunuchs who were crawling and chasing after them were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were prostrate on the ground, unable to grow their anger.
After all, he is going to be the emperor, and the cultivation of "Thor" is also rising, so I saw him wave his hand disapprovingly, and walked out with his legs dashing. The eunuchs behind him jumped to their feet, pounced on the explosive bag that was about to explode, and helped him up from the left and right.
In the rumbling salute, the enthronement ceremony officially began, the loud slogans of "long live" and "long life without borders" resounded in the sky, and the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" was officially established.
