Chapter 6 The Dark Tide is Turbulent
The three of them were talking and laughing and walking towards Changle Palace. When the four little eunuchs saw that the king was gone, they ran and followed. As soon as I turned an alley, I saw someone shouting, "Don't put down your hand, what kind of system!" β
The three of them were startled, and when they looked up, it turned out to be Cao Yong, the deputy eunuch of the capital, standing in front, Cao Yong first smiled at Xiao Zhen, and scolded Xie Lan with a straight face, "Like this, with the king on his shoulders, all over the palace, what does it look like!" β
Xie Lan was still young in the palace, and he knew that the etiquette was not good, so he hurriedly withdrew his arm and knelt on one knee, "My subordinates know their mistakes." β
Cao Yong saw that Xie Lan didn't dare to fight back, so he became even more arrogant, pointed to Xie Lan's head, and loudly ordered the little eunuch, "Go, call Li Mingyu, the commander of the palace guards, such a person should be beaten and taught a good lesson." β
Xiao Zhi didn't react for a while, and when he saw the little eunuch "chirp-" to leave, he knew that things were going to make a big fuss, and his identity was not good to say anything in person. Only shouting "Come back!" ", hurriedly glanced at Su Wan.
Su Wan looked serious, knelt down and asked for an order, "Your Majesty, can you leave this matter to the slave and maid?" β
Xiao Zhi nodded heavily: "This king will leave it to you." β
Su Wan turned around and said, "Cao Yong, who allowed you to shout in front of the king, what kind of stinky shelf is you putting up?" β
"You little maidservant, what rules do you know?" Cao Yong was not to be outdone, and immediately stood back.
"Handmaiden?" Su Wan sneered, "I'm doing things on the king's orders now?" Do you want to disobey? β
"Huh?" Cao Yong's neck twisted, and just said "You don't-", the word "matching" has not yet been spoken, Su Wan's backhand is a slap, she already has kung fu, and she used full strength, Cao Yong had already received a full slap on his face, half of his face was red, and he screamed in pain.
"The first king has just made a great move, and you dare to despise the king. More and more presumptuous! By the king's command, you are asked to kneel down - do you want this, your king? β
"Of course." Xiao Zhi picked up the conversation, "Not only do you have to kneel, but you also have to slap your mouth fifty." β
Cao Yong saw that Xiao Zhi had spoken in person, so he knelt down helplessly. The little eunuch next to him hurriedly stepped forward to roll up his sleeves and raised his hand to fight, and Su Wan spoke again, "What kind of hospitality do you offer?" This king wants him to slap his mouth! You are counting here - king, the old queen mother is still waiting for you in Changle Palace, let's go quickly. After saying that, the three of them went straight to themselves.
Cao Yong was so unreasonable that Su Wan made a fuss, and his angry eyes were on fire. Seeing that they were far away, the little eunuch next to him was still waiting to count his own palms and mouths, and he couldn't help but be ashamed and angry, Huo Di stood up and slapped the little eunuch with a face full of flowers, "Damn beast, you dare to trample on me!" β
"Godbrother, forget it, what's the name of him." Zhu Yong looked back, and it turned out to be his worshipping brother, Cao Ze's attendant Hu Fei standing behind him.
Hu Fei smiled, "General Cao has a treat today and asks you to go back to the house, Fu Guo Gong Xiao Yan, Tai Heng Yu Shilang, and Lord Luo Shi are all here." How, do you want to come? - There are many ways to get angry, and it's very easy. Cao Yong nodded fiercely and shouted to the little eunuch, "Get out!" β
The joy of the day was disturbed by Zhu Yong, and Xiao Zhi felt very disappointed. Xie Lan and Su Wan stood behind them, also preoccupied.
After taking two steps, Xie Lan hurriedly knelt down to Xiao Zhi, "It's a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates, sweeping away the king's prosperity, and asking the king to punish him." β
Xiao Zhi waved his hand, "It has nothing to do with you, I want to get close to who I want to play well." I don't need him as a eunuch to take care of it, Zhu Yong just looks at my young age and is so confused. β
Su Wan lowered her head and thought for a while, "This Cao Yong is the godson of General Cao Ze, and this enthronement ceremony was also invited by the four ministers, and Cao Yong presided over the ceremony." It's inevitable to be proud. β
"It's just a dog fighting a human power." Xiao Zhi sneered, and said to the two of them, "I will be happy to see the old queen mother for a while, and today I want to please the old ancestors, don't spoil the atmosphere for this kind of person." β
The three of them walked quickly into Changle Palace.
The old queen mother was crooked on the couch, and there were many delicate tea dishes on the table, waiting for Xiao Zhi to come back. Seeing Xiao Zhi walking in steadily, full of heroism, Xie Lan and Su Wan followed step by step, and couldn't help but think, "It's really a bit of a king!" β
Xiao Zhi asked for peace upwards, and the old queen mother quickly pulled him to sit on the couch and asked the long question, "Good grandson, it's so cold, don't you catch a cold?" I haven't eaten much in a day, so I've prepared a lot of snacks for you, pick up your favorite food and eat more. He also instructed Su Wan, "Quickly find out that ink-colored mink fur and put it on the king--I heard Li Hui say, you have worked hard for a day today, and your performance is very good, you are used to it, and it is difficult for you!" β
Li Hui is the head of the eunuch of the Six Palaces and the confidant of the Queen Mother, and at this moment she also joked, "Eh! So many people, so much pomp! I knelt beside me and my heart was shaken. Thanks to the king's destiny and the blessing of the true dragon, he was able to hold on, and he was decent, and he did things! β
Su Wan took out the ink-colored mink fur and put it on Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhi walked to the mirror and took a look, it fit very well, walked up to the old queen mother to show her, and said, "This mink fur is very good to wear, thank you grandmother." β
The old queen mother saw that things were done properly, and her clothes fit, and her heart was also comfortable. Taking advantage of the old lady's happiness, Xiao Zhi hurriedly said, "Grandmother, there is something my grandson wants to ask you to agree." β
"Tell me about it." The old queen mother took a sip of tea and said.
"Mencius said, 'The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light.'" Tang Taizong also said, 'Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat.' I am now a king, but I have never seen the true people. It's good to read the books of the sages, but it's just on paper. My grandson wants to have the opportunity to go outside in person, understand the people's feelings, and see the changes outside, so that he can better govern the country. β
"Do you want to go on a micro-service trip?"
"Exactly." Since Xiao Zhi was reborn, he has not been outside the palace, and he is almost suffocated to death. What's more, according to the experience of his two lives, the words of the master in the folk are not in vain, and they may be able to solve the current difficulties for him.
"Yes." The old queen mother has always been an enlightened person" It's just that, first, you can't delay the court and schoolwork, and second, you have to let Su Wan and Xie Lan follow, they do things properly, and the shadow guard must also send a few people to follow to ensure safety. I'm relieved, too. β
"It's natural, thank you Grandmother." Xiao Zhi accompanied the old queen mother to chat for a while, and when she saw that it was dark, she went back to the palace to rest.
Looking at Xiao Zhen's distant back, Li Hui stood beside the old queen mother and said with a smile: "The slave looked at the king and calmed down, chatting with the ancestor for so long, Cao Yong was embarrassed, he didn't complain to you, how is it like a fifteen-year-old child?" β
The old queen mother twisted the Buddha beads, lowered her head and said, "He is now the king of Daqi, so naturally he can't be like a child." He sighed again, "It's hard for him." β
Xiao Zhi took Su Wan Xie Lan and a group of attendants to his bedroom, only to see the little eunuch who was beaten in the afternoon wandering around the palace gate.
This little eunuch is also one of Xiao Zhi's personal eunuchs, and he is used to joking with Xiao Zhi on weekdays, where has he suffered such a big grievance, and later heard the conversation between Cao Yong and Hu Fei, although he didn't understand it very well, he also knew that what he said was not good for his master. I thought about telling Xiao Zhi quickly.
After listening to the little eunuch's report, Xiao Zhi comforted him a few words, and rewarded him with some silver, so that he could go back and rest for two days. The little eunuch went back happily with the reward money, leaving only Xiao Zhen, Su Wan, and Xie Lan in the dormitory.
"Auxiliary Gong Xiao Yan, Taiheng Yu Shilang, Luo Shi is either good friends with Cao Ze, or Cao Ze's protΓ©gΓ©. When these people get together, aren't they good at plotting against the king? As soon as the little eunuch left with his front foot, Xie Lan couldn't wait to say with his back foot.
"It's so easy for me to plot against me, Cao Ze is already extremely rich, even if he wants to rebel, he has to think about it carefully. However, it is never a good thing for them to get together. Xiao Zhi instructed, "Rong Xuan, send a few shadow guards to monitor the situation of Cao Mansion, and tell me if there is any situation." β
"Yes." With a low voice, a few shadows dispersed.
"Each has a ghost." Xiao Zhi thought, "Let's see how you play this game of chess first." β
