Chapter 439: Impersonation
Yang Keyi is the son of a small official, sixteen years old, can be called into the "children's army", the whole family is happy, he himself is so excited that he hasn't slept well for a few days, thinking that this is his chance to rise to the top. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the Yang family is not rich and noble, Yang Keyi is the only son in the family, he has been favored since he was a child, he did not study literature and martial arts very hard, and he only fell to the lowest B class in the early assessment, and he was an ordinary soldier.
Yang Keyi was not discouraged, the goal of him and his family was not to make a name for himself in the arts and martial arts, but to take the opportunity to make friends with the sons of powerful families and pave the way for the future.
In the eyes of the Yang family, their children are so cute and smart, it should be very simple to make friends, of course, they are not too stupid, Yang's father bought a full set of armor for his son, and prepared five hundred taels of silver, let him squander, "You can't be stingy when making friends, especially with the powerful son, you must not be stingy at the beginning, so that people look down on you." ”
Spending money is Yang Keyi's favorite thing, before he entered the barracks, he has already spent half of the five hundred taels of silver, and all the toys he bought are the playthings that the teenager likes, as soon as his parents frowned, he said: "The powerful sons have this, but I don't have it, how can I interact with others?" ”
When he actually entered the barracks, Yang Keyi found a serious problem: there were too many people who had the same idea as him, but there were only a very few powerful sons who were really worth befriending, and there were too many monks and few porridges, so he couldn't squeeze in front at all.
The powerful sons have their own circles, occasionally accept newcomers, and choose those teenagers who are outstanding in the civil and military selection, valuing their future status, or picking a few helpers who can have fun, laugh, and tout, in order to help the fun.
There are a lot of people like Yang Keyi, with low background, mediocre talent, and they will not please others if they are petty and pampered, and they have no chance to climb up, but they don't look down on each other, so they end up lonely, and life in the barracks is very hard.
If they hadn't wanted to see the emperor, they would have left behind and waited for their parents to come forward to solve the problem.
When the emperor finally arrived, everyone wanted to squeeze a step forward, and the officers naturally had to maintain order, and the soldiers were very dissatisfied, because most of these officers were also children of ordinary people, some of whom were even the sons of commoners, and wore ordinary armor issued by the army, just because they were stronger, and they got the third class during the military election, and they sat on their heads to show their majesty.
Yang Keyi muttered, "A dirty guy whose face can't be washed, is embarrassed to see the driver?" ”
The captain of his team heard the complaint and raised his whip to shut up.
For this little thing, the two almost got into a fight in the team, and the other soldiers immediately pulled away, stopping a brawl.
Han Ruzi saw several fights from afar in the barracks that day, and this was one of them, and it was by no means the most serious incident.
Afterwards, the more Yang Keyi thought about it, the more angry he became, not because of Shi Chang, but because of the soldiers in the same team who were pulling the racks, feeling that they were taking the opportunity to humiliate themselves.
Days of hard training, as well as frequent neglect by the powerful sons, aroused anger at this moment, Yang Keyi did not dare to take revenge on the powerful, and did not have the opportunity to go in front of others, he vented his anger to his companions who were about the same status as himself, returned to the tent and yelled, kicking over some people's luggage.
This was the time when the emperor feasted the warriors, and it was not a big deal, so it did not alarm him.
After the emperor left, that night, Yang Keyi in his sleep was beaten up, punches and kicks, obviously not a person, he was covered in the quilt, he had no power to resist, and he couldn't see who beat him.
When the beating was over, Yang Keyi was so frightened that he hid in the bed and didn't dare to move, until he got up early the next morning, and saw that the soldiers in the same tent were all asleep.
Yang Keyi couldn't stand this evil spirit, so he took out all the remaining more than 200 taels of silver and bribed a familiar general who was greedy for money, so he had to take revenge on the soldiers of the same team.
The soldiers of the same team naturally did not sit idly by, and also asked acquaintances for help, and the matter became bigger and bigger, and in the end, even several powerful sons were involved, they didn't know who Yang Keyi was at all, they only knew that there were troubles in the barracks that needed to be solved by themselves.
After two days of trouble, there were only a few vicious words, and there was no more fighting, and the emperor was in the nearby barracks, and he could come to inspect at any time, and no one wanted an accident at such a time, so all parties tried their best to suppress it, and no one was allowed to take revenge.
Yang Keyi didn't even get an apology, but the silver was gone, and the general who took his silver patted him on the shoulder, and said indifferently: "Bear with me, I'll be angry for you when I return to the city." ”
Yang Keyi couldn't bear it, after returning to the city, everyone went back to their respective homes, even if they found someone to beat up the soldiers of the same team, they couldn't get their face back, and there was no way to vent this evil anger in their hearts.
After thinking about it, Yang Keyi decided to make a desperate gamble and reveal a big secret to the emperor, which could not only get angry, but also maybe be appreciated for it.
But he couldn't see the emperor, and he wasn't even qualified to see the people around the emperor, and the money was spent, so he was ruthless, and resold the gold-inlaid armor purchased by his family at a low price, in exchange for a set of ordinary armor and a hundred taels of silver, the armor was used for his own use, and the silver was given to a child of the Cui family, just begging him to bring a sentence to Cui Teng: "Do you want to make great contributions?" ”
Cui Teng wanted to make meritorious service, and said to the cousin who brought the conversation: "How old? ”
Cousin Cui Fu was also stunned, opened his arms, wanted to make a gesture, and quickly put it down, "It should be very big, otherwise this kid would not have asked for the second brother." ”
Yang Keyi waited for more than half a day before he had the opportunity to see Cui Teng, and he wanted something, and many rules were self-taught, so he knelt down immediately, and no longer showed his arrogant side, "I want to expose that someone in the disciple army is pretending." ”
Cui Fu was startled, he knew that Yang Keyi was going to talk about it, and he wouldn't agree to talk no matter how much money he gave, so he stepped forward and kicked it, and reprimanded: "What nonsense, do you want to die?" ”
Yang Keyi's mind was full of revenge, and he had already put caution aside, and said loudly: "This is a fact, there are still many impostors, I heard that the second son of Cui is the most trusted person around the emperor, so he came to expose it." If the second son of Cui wants to calm things down, when I didn't come, I take it for granted, I really think that the second son of Cui thinks about everything for the sake of His Majesty. ”
Cui Fu was about to raise his foot again, but Cui Teng pulled him away and said to Yang Keyi: "What did you say?" ”
Yang Keyi was scared, it was rumored that the second son of the Cui family would kill people when he was angry, and even the emperor gave him three points, let alone himself? "I'm sorry, I, I'm talking nonsense, the second son can do whatever he wants......"
"No, no, you just said that I was the most important person around the emperor?"
"The most ...... Trusted people. Yang Keyi suddenly realized, it turned out that he had scratched Cui Teng's itch, and hurriedly added: "This is not what I said, everyone knows, otherwise I would not have come to see the second son." Your Majesty has a lot of cronies around him, and I don't even think about anyone else. ”
"Haven't you thought about the King of the East Sea?"
Yang Keyi actually thought about it, and the King of the East China Sea was his first choice, but there was no way to see him, and he happened to know Cui Fu, so he started from Cui Teng instead, but at this time he shook his head firmly, "What is the King of the East China Sea?" Although he is His Majesty's younger brother, he once betrayed His Majesty, and His Majesty kept him by his side, just to facilitate surveillance. ”
Cui Teng was overjoyed when he heard this, turned his head to Cui Fu and said, "Why haven't you told me about such a big thing?" ”
Cui Fu whispered: "This matter involves some clan disciples, so it's better not for us to get involved." ”
Cui Teng frowned, "Who said about the impostor?" Everyone says that I am the most trusted person around Your Majesty, why didn't you tell me? ”
Cui Fu was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "I thought the second brother knew...... Everyone said that I was used to hearing it, and it really didn't take it as a big deal, so I never said it. ”
Cui Teng was in a better mood, and said to Yang Keyi: "It's right for you to come to me, others don't dare to take care of this matter, so I dare to poke it open." Your Majesty hates the noble children who do not seek to be motivated - since you have enjoyed the benefits of the court, you have to serve the court when necessary, right? Like me, I have been coming and going in the wind and rain, and I have blocked arrows for Your Majesty on the battlefield, when did I say half a word? ”
Yang Keyi nodded desperately, "Yes, that's the truth, they hired people to be soldiers, and they were obviously bullying the king." ”
"Okay, you give me a list, and I'll give it to Your Majesty when I find a chance."
Yang Keyi had already prepared, "It's not easy to write in the barracks, but I have written down a lot, and I can say it now, or write it on the spot." ”
Cui Teng chose to write on the spot.
Yang Keyi's fellow soldiers have no children of powerful people, and naturally there are no impostors, but his hatred has long been extended to the entire army, thinking that the officials and officials are defending each other, so they bully themselves alone, so they write down the impostors they know one by one, and those who are not very sure draw a triangle behind.
Cui Fu came over and took a look, startled, there were more than thirty names on it, and half of them were surnamed Han.
Cui Teng didn't care, picked up the list and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, our Cui family is not on it." ”
Cui Fu coughed.
Cui Teng's face changed color, "What's the matter, we also have it?" ”
Cui Fu reluctantly nodded.
Cui Teng suddenly laughed and scolded a dirty word, "I, Cui Er, want to kill my relatives with righteousness this time, Your Majesty has to praise me for being 'selfless'." Come on, Yang what, write down the name of the Cui family. ”
Yang Keyi was also smart, and immediately shook his head, "I knew all of this, and I wrote it down." ”
Cui Teng handed the list to his cousin Cui Fu, "You write." ”
Cui Fu had no choice, so he added a name at the end of the list, deliberately writing crookedly, so as not to make people recognize the handwriting.
Yang Keyi left satisfied, waiting for a storm to fall in the army and wipe out all the people he hated.
Cui Fu regretted it, watched Yang Keyi leave, and immediately said to the party brother: "This list must not be handed over to Your Majesty." ”
"Why? Our family is alone on it, it's not too embarrassing, look at these surnamed Han, haha, interesting. ”
Cui Fu was dumbfounded, in his opinion, it was not interesting at all, he thought about it again and again, and said: "This is something that offends people, or the second brother will discuss it with the general first." ”
Cui Fu said the wrong thing, and Cui Teng's face turned cold, "I can't call the shots about such a thing?" My father's injuries are not healed, why bother him? , I must let His Majesty know about this, and then we'll find out the impostor together. Since the assassin came out, the Cui family hasn't raised their eyebrows for a long time, and this time they all have to make up for it. ”
Cui Teng waited for a night to see the emperor, and Han Ruzi was really furious and immediately launched an investigation.
But it was already a step too late. (To be continued.) )
