Lu Fei said, "You mean to say that this old eunuch received black money from Zhang Rake?" ”

Li Shun said, "I also agree with the eldest lady's guess, Gonggong Zhou has lived in the palace for a long time and has no contact with the local government, and daring to do this is nothing more than taking the benefits of others."

Lu Fei snorted, "Okay, you old eunuch, you dare to suppress even the holy decree without issuing it, see how I clean you up"

Yun Yun hurriedly said, "Don't, Xiaofei, even if he really accepts other people's money, you can't expose it, the emperor can send him to pass the decree, indicating that the emperor trusts him, you know, as soon as the people next to the emperor leave the palace, they will become greedy for ink, the emperor will not admit it, let alone deal with him, then you will offend these people, and you will suffer in the end."

Lu Fei shook his official uniform, turned around, and said disdainfully, "Then I still have to beg him?" ”

Yun Niang smiled, "This Yun Niang doesn't know, I think there will be a way with your cleverness"

Lu Fei smiled smugly when he heard this, "That's it, the wind and waves are coming, can you still deal with a eunuch with a broken root, hehehe"

Suddenly, Lu Fei stopped laughing, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself, "Hey, it's better to ask for others than for yourself, there is"

Li Shun said, "What is the master going to do?" ”

Lu Fei straightened his chest and smiled, "I have my own clever plan, Yun Niang, I have also suffocated you these days, take Ling Yatou to the street to relax, this is also almost autumn, everyone add some clothes, master, go, they will go, by the way, master, you let Zhao Bantou arrange a few servants to follow Yun Niang and them, now there may be Zhang Razi's eyeliner on the street, be careful"

Yun Niang smiled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two brocade guards were waiting anxiously in the lobby, and when they saw Lu Fei coming out, Yang Shu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Lu, after Young Eunuch Zhou was drunk last night, he still can't wake up, how can this be good?" ”

Yang Lin also said hurriedly, "Presumably, General Zhang also knows now that the killer they sent yesterday did not succeed, he is likely to be prepared for the next step, brother, what do you say we should do now?" ”

Lu Fei waved his hand and sat down unhurriedly, "Father-in-law Zhou is in poor health, and this matter is not in a hurry, so let's go to the post house together with you and I to have a look, maybe he has woken up now."

Poplar said, "It's okay, please"

**

In Zhang Rake's barracks, General Zhang was sitting in a big tent, holding a wild boar leg sprayed with sesame oil in his hand, gnawing, tearing off a piece of meat, and drinking a glass of wine.

A personal soldier came in, leaned over and whispered in the ear of General Zhang, "General, there is news from the city, Wang Liu, they have been captured."

General Zhang was taken aback, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of pork, "I didn't expect that the small county yali is still a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and there are seven first-class masters, did they confess me?" ”

The person who came shook his head, "I don't know, early in the morning, there were two brocade guards who came out of the county office."

General Zhang snorted and laughed, "It's no wonder, it's the Jinyi Guards who are protecting him, it's really a villain's ambition, when I think of the general's scenery, these Jinyi Guards are a fart in my eyes, and now the limelight is not right, these bastards don't even see my face, and the wall is down and everyone pushes it."

"General, what do we do now?" You can't sit still."

General Zhang asked, "Is there any movement over there at the post house?" ”

Come to humanity, "I heard the brother over there say that Father-in-law Zhou has been drunk and has not woken up"

Counselor Zhang turned his worries into joy, "This year, the money is good, and Father-in-law Zhou won't be able to last long, so I will give the emperor a discount now, and send it urgently for eight hundred miles, to see if there is still a chance for the emperor to change his mind."

Come to humanity, "The holy decree has arrived in Susong, is it too late?" ”

General Zhang sighed, "So far, there is only this way, you immediately send someone back to Anqing, go to my house, bring all the money in my house, and go to the capital to find someone."

Come to humanity, "Looking for whom?" ”

General Zhang said in a low voice, "Commander of the Jinyi Guard, Jiang Bin, this person is a popular person in front of the emperor, as long as he can help me speak, I can make a comeback."

Come to humanity, "But the far water can't solve the near fire, in case the father-in-law can't stand it and pass down the holy decree, then it's not in vain."

General Zhang reluctantly smiled, "It's not all, even if the holy decree is handed down, the emperor will escort me back to Beijing at most, and as long as Jiang Bin can help at that time, this general will not die, and besides, I won't be idle here, you just do what I say, go and call Zhou Qianhu to me."

The work was not large, and Zhou Qianhu, who was dressed in armor, came to the big tent and hugged his fists, "General, are you looking for me?" ”

General Zhang Shen stacked two wine glasses on the desk, beckoned him to come closer, picked up the wine glass and said, "Zhou Qianhu, come, you have suffered with General Ben these days, and General Ben will give you a glass."

Zhou Qianhu hurriedly stepped forward to take his wine glass, "Don't dare, serve the court and the general, why talk about hardship, the last general respects the general" said, Zhou Qianhu did it first for respect.

General Zhang laughed, "Well, Zhou Qianhu's loyalty, this general will not treat you badly, sit, tell me how the progress of clearing and suppressing the remnants of the bandits has been these days?" ”

Zhou Qianhu didn't dare to sit down, put down the wine glass and arched his hand, "The last general will divide the people of the headquarters into ten teams, and these have also gained some gains, a total of more than 20 remnants of the bandits have been killed, and it won't take long to clean them up."

General Zhang waved his hand, "Zhou Qianhu, it's too slow to do this, the emperor won't give us too much time."

Zhou Qianhu said with a difficult face, "General, now these bandits are scattered around the mountain, it is difficult to succeed at one time, and the bandit leader Green Shirt is nowhere to be found, I hope the general can give the last general more time."

General Zhang smiled, "General Ben has a way to buy some more time in front of the emperor."

Zhou Qianhu said, "How?" ”

General Zhang also put down his wine glass, thought for a while, and said, "There is a village at the foot of the mountain two miles to the north of the mountain, called Shiqiao Village.

Zhou Qianhu arched his hand and said, "The last general there knows, and the last general will take someone to investigate."

General Zhang waved his hand, "No, don't check, General Ben has already found out, there are 230 men, women and children in the village, all of whom have a close relationship with the bandits, what you have to do is to wipe them out."

Zhou Qianhu didn't quite understand, and asked suspiciously, "What does the general mean?" ”

Zhang Shen slammed his fist on the desk, gritted his teeth and said, "No people and animals will be left"

Zhou Qianhu was shocked, he immediately understood what the general wanted to do, "But ......"

General Zhang Counselor's eyes widened, "It's nothing, do what I say, this general will ask the court for credit to you now, Zhou Qianhu is loyal and brave to the country, eliminate the remnants of the bandit stronghold in one fell swoop, and behead two hundred and thirty people"

Zhou Qianhu's palms were sweaty, but the military order was like a mountain, and he had to retreat, so he could only retreat, pick up the military horses, and kill Shiqiao Village.

As soon as Zhou Qianhu left, General Zhang immediately took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote an excerpt to the emperor, to the effect that the bandits on the mountain have exceeded the original estimate, and he Zhang Rake has the crime of dereliction of duty, but he is ashamed and brave, and now it has been accurately identified around this mountain, and the bandits have shown goodwill tens of thousands, after the last battle on the mountain, the remnants of the bandits are hiding in the villagers' homes around the mountain, in order to resist the round-up of the official army, today there is a general in the army Zhou Qianhu found a bandit stronghold, decisively attacked, in one fell swoop killed more than 200 people who fornicated with the bandits, the bandits are powerful, I hope that the emperor will be given a few more months, and he will be able to return to a peaceful place in Song.

In this way, General Zhang's government camp still has big things to do in Susong, and cannot be withdrawn casually, so he will naturally not deal with him, the leading general, this kind of blatant self-respecting thing, he Zhang Shenjiang is not the first time to do it, but this time it is made, resulting in a fact that there is no one at all.

Under an order, Zhou Qianhu with five hundred light horses, in broad daylight, surrounded Shiqiao Village, several times to kill, the village ghosts cried wolf howl, the screams spread for several miles, an hour later, none of the men, women and children in the village survived, and finally in a skyrocketing fire, Shiqiao Village completely disappeared in the county territory of Susong, Zhou Qianhu carried more than 200 heads of large and small, back to the camp.

Lu Fei followed Yang Shu and Yang Lin to appear in the post house, and Yi Cheng didn't dare to slack off, and led the county master to the room where Zhou Gonggong collapsed.

The room was filled with the smell of alcohol, which was actually the result of Zhou Gonggong deliberately holding a wine jug and spilling it all over the corner of the room, in order to deepen the evidence that he was drunk and difficult to wake up.

Li Shun stepped forward and gently shouted a few times beside Father-in-law Zhou's bedside, "Father-in-law Zhou, Young Eunuch Zhou"

Gonggong Zhou was still asleep, and Lu Fei waved his hand to signal Li Shun to push him.

Yang Shu was an anxious man, and he raised his foot and kicked on the edge of the bed, "Father-in-law Zhou, get up" Father-in-law Zhou still didn't react, Poplar turned around and said to Lu Fei helplessly, "Look, you just don't wake up, if it weren't for so many people drinking last night, it would still make people think that Lu Zhixian did something in the wine."

Lu Fei said, "Brother Yangshu, the conscience of heaven and earth, I have good intentions, who knew that my father-in-law was so undrunk this week, if I hadn't stopped him last night, his father-in-law Zhou would still be drunk."

Yang Lin said, "Then what now?" If Father-in-law Zhou is like this, the holy decree will not be transmitted, and there will be many dreams at night, which is not good for us."

Lu Fei looked around, and found that although the room was full of alcohol, the source of the wine was not on Father-in-law Zhou, but from under the invisible tables, chairs and benches, he lowered his body and looked at it, as expected, there were still pools of damp and undried water stains in those places, it seemed that Father-in-law Zhou was really pretending to be drunk this time.

Yang Shu followed Lu Fei and asked, "Lu Zhixian, what are you looking for?" ”

Lu Fei smiled, "No, it's nothing, since it is inconvenient for Gonggong Zhou to move, there is no way, I can only wait for him to wake up, in this way, you go out first, I will serve him here, and I will call you as soon as he wakes up."

Li Shun said, "Master, let's stay here."

Lu Fei made a look, "No, it is my sin for Father-in-law Zhou to be drunk like this, because I should do it myself to show repentance."

As soon as Li Shun saw the master's expression, he immediately understood, and where the master was holding back his thoughts, so he arched his hand, "Yes, if the master wants something, call me, I'm just outside the door."

Lu Fei nodded and said to the woods, "The two of you are on a mission, leave it to me here."

Yang Lin arched his hand, "Then there is Lao Luzhi County"

Lu Fei gestured at the door, "Please go on a mission, I'm happy to serve"

After everyone in the room left, Lu Fei came to the side of Gonggong Zhou, squeezed out a look of regret, and cried with a sad face and complained one after another that he should not drink the red people in front of the emperor like this, while speaking, he pulled all the quilts on the bed and put them on Gonggong Zhou's body, not even showing his head, he patted the quilt lightly and said, "Father-in-law Zhou, you can rest in peace, there are officials here to accompany you, you see that the people in this post house are really ignorant, and they don't even know how to cover a quilt for you, Don't look at the stone slabs on the street now that you can fry eggs, maybe it will be cold in a while, be careful of cold"

Lu Fei was patting, but his eyes were wandering around the room, he was looking for something, the holy decree, probably because the temperature in the quilt was rising rapidly, and the heat was unbearable, Gonggong Zhou actually moved, but he still didn't wake up.

Lu Fei sped up the slapping action again, as if his father was coaxing his son to sleep, "Oh, Father-in-law Zhou, it's okay, it's okay, rest and rest, or I'll sing a little song to your father-in-law, whatever you sing, just sing the song of our hometown."

Lu Fei cleared his throat and sang, "Shake, shake, shake, shake, my baby shakes to sleep, the little flower quilt, cover it, put the two little hands down, shake it, shake it, shake it, my baby is asleep......"

Lu Fei hummed over and over again, but his body slowly left the bedside, rummaging quickly in the room, the singing covered the voice under his hands, as Lu Fei made more and more movements, the singing also increased, causing the Yicheng and the two brocade guards downstairs to also frown and listen.

Yang Shu asked Li Shun, "What are you humming about?" Putting my son to sleep."

Li Shun smiled bitterly and spread his hands.

When Lu Fei hummed the tune of coaxing his son to sleep for the eighteenth time, he finally found the holy decree contained in the red sandalwood box from a burden in the cupboard in the room.

Lu Fei's heart was full of joy, humming a song, while gently removing the seal on the box, picking off the wax seal, and taking out a shaft of yellow silk, he glanced at Father-in-law Zhou on the bed, Father-in-law Zhou was still covered in the quilt.

Lu Fei smiled and put the holy decree into his arms, patted it, closed the cupboard, turned his head to the bed and shouted, "Father-in-law Zhou, the lower official won't disturb your rest much, and when you wake up, I will come to greet you again, and the lower official will say goodbye."

Waiting for Lu Fei to come out of Father-in-law Zhou's room, the two Yang Shu brothers, who had been waiting anxiously downstairs, hurriedly ran over, "Lu Zhixian, he hasn't woken up yet?" ”

Lu Fei shrugged helplessly and said, "Forget it, Father-in-law Zhou overworked day and night, let him rest well."

Yang Shu looked anxious, "What about the Holy Decree?" ”

Lu Fei said, "Don't worry, one day late, one day later."

Poplar shook his head and ran downstairs with a sigh.

Lu Fei called Heizi over again, and said softly, "Heizi, go, let people go to the 'Xiancai Immortal Pavilion' to find two girls to serve Grandpa Zhou."

Kuroko wondered, "Looking for a girl?" Master, he, he's a father-in-law."

Lu Fei cut off, "What's wrong with my father-in-law, although he can't do anything, it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to, go, find two young and beautiful people, remember, let them stay by Zhou's father-in-law's bedside, I don't care what to do, in short, I can't let him get out of bed before I come back."

The black thief laughed and turned to look for the girl.

**

Forbidden city.

Between the Jianji Hall and the Fengtian Palace, there are three layers of majestic and majestic white marble pedestal, forming a vast space between the two halls.

Fengtian Palace, known as the Jinluan Palace, was the center of power in the Tang Dynasty, and it was usually full of internal guards, but at this time it was occupied by a group of eunuchs and palace maids.

I saw more than 30 eunuchs on the steps, lined up and facing the bottom of the steps, and there were also more than 100 palace maids and eunuchs under the steps in a mixed formation.

At the door of the Jianji Palace, a golden chair was placed, and the body of the chair was carved with a dragon pattern with an extraordinary tail posture, and a young man wearing golden armor sat on it, resting his chin on his knees arched on the chair, looking ahead, looking at the group of eunuchs and palace maids.

At this time, a eunuch ran over and bowed to the man on the dragon-shaped seat, "Report to the commander, General Jiang has led the team to prepare for the siege of the city, please give the order."

The young man slapped the dragon head on the armrest of the chair, "Okay, pass on the handsome general's order, attack, dare to take a step back, cut"

The eunuch waved his fingers and laughed sharply, "Respect the order"

At one moment, more than 100 palace maids and eunuchs at the bottom of the steps, grinding their fists and palms, rushed towards the steps with a giggle, led by a man in white armor in his thirties, and the two sides were fighting in one place on the steps.

More than 100 eunuchs waved the whisk in their hands, "Beat, beat you, beat you to death"

The palace maids took out their armbands and threw them on the eunuchs, "Shoot you to death, shoot you to death"

The white-helmeted general, who led the attack from the bottom up, dodged the inextricable wisps of dust and handkerchiefs flying in the sky, crowded into the crowd, grabbed the arm of a eunuch and said, "Grandpa Zhang, a thousand taels, you let me attack it"

The father-in-law screamed his voice, peeked at the general on the dragon chair behind him, and said to the white helmet general, "Lord Jiang, I will give you two thousand taels, you surrender"

Wearing white armor is the commander of the Jinyi Guard above the tens of thousands of people under one person, Jiang Bin.

I saw Jiang Bin take out a dozen silver tickets from his arms and stuff them into Gonggong Zhang's hand, "Five thousand taels, Gonggong Zhang, you can lose again, you see, I brought all the silver tickets."

Gonggong Zhang thought for a moment, and gestured, "Eight thousand taels"

Jiang Bin gritted his teeth, "Father-in-law Zhang, you can really take advantage of the fire to rob, success, eight thousand is eight thousand"

Gonggong Zhang put away the silver ticket, smiled, waved the dust, and retreated with the ordinary eunuchs while fighting.

Jiang Bin was overjoyed, ran through the crowd towards the gate of the Jianji Palace, knelt down in front of the man in golden armor, and said loudly, "Report, Marshal, our army is like a broken bamboo, and has already attacked the city tower, this time the first 100,000 enemies will be killed, and our army will not lose a single person."

Father-in-law Zhang also ran over, crying and saying with a sad face, "The little incompetence failed to defend the city"

When the man in golden armor heard this, he laughed, clapped his hands and jumped up on the chair, "Okay, General Jiang is the first soldier in this battle, and the attack is indispensable, and the commander has clear rewards and punishments, and General Jiang will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver."

Jiang Bin bowed his head and bowed, "Thank you, handsome reward"

Father-in-law Zhang gently touched him with his elbow beside him, "You still earned two thousand taels."

The man in the golden armor was in full swing, squatting on the dragon-shaped chair and said, "Okay, now General Jiang will defend the city, and Gonggong Zhang will attack, quickly, arrange it."

As soon as his words fell, he saw a group of palace maids coming from the corner of the Jianji Palace, and in the midst of this group of palace maids, a middle-aged woman with a dignified posture and graceful elegance walked over slowly.

"Nonsense! What is this?" shouted the middle-aged woman as she walked.

When Jiang Bin, Gonggong Zhang and other palace maids and eunuchs saw her coming, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted her, "See the Queen Mother"

The Queen Mother came to Jiang Bin and said angrily, "Jiang Bin, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, you don't persuade the emperor to be more diligent in political affairs, but you are playing this kind of trick here, I don't think you want to be an official."

Jiang Bin looked frightened, "Weichen doesn't dare"

The Queen Mother's face sank, "Don't dare, I think you dare more than anyone else, go down, pay you back, all retreat"

The female eunuchs of the palace ran away with a bang.

……

Emperor Zhengde leaned on the dragon chair, took off the helmet on his head and played with it in his hand, and said casually, "Queen Mother, what are you doing here?" ”

The Queen Mother said, "As the king of a country, you don't think about politics, you mess around with this group of palace maids and eunuchs every day, you don't wear dragon robes, you have to wear this nondescript armor every day, you are not afraid of the jokes of hundreds of officials, you are not afraid of the jokes of the people of the world, are you facing your father and the emperor, are you worthy of the ancestors of the Li family?" ”

Zhengde laughed and rolled the helmet to the ground, rolling out a few feet away, the eunuch on the side hurriedly picked it up again, and he rolled out again, having a lot of fun, not taking the queen mother's to heart at all.

The Queen Mother also hated that iron could not become steel, so she sighed and said, "Let me ask you, have you read King Ning's excerpt?" How to reply to"

Zhengde said, "I've seen it, and I've already sent it out to the cabinet."

The Queen Mother nodded, she was quite satisfied with this, and said, "I heard that King Ning asked the emperor to make you add a magistrate, how did you do it?" ”

Zhengde said angrily, "Give it, I not only approved it, but also gave him King Ning a big face, and simply promoted that little county to five levels in a row, this is enough to give him King Ning face, Queen Mother, you are also satisfied."

The Queen Mother was happy in her heart, but she said, "What are you talking about, promotion and demotion are the emperor's dictatorship, and King Ning is just a virtuous person for the country, what does this have to do with the queen mother?"

Zhengde waved his hand, "Okay, Queen Mother, if you want to be fine, go and listen to the play, the emperor still has a bunch of national affairs to do"

The Queen Mother nodded, "That's good, you should focus more on political affairs"

As soon as the Queen Mother left, Jiang Bin, who was hiding under the steps, ran back and bowed his hand to Zhengde, "Your Majesty, do you want to continue playing?" ”

Zhengde yawned, "Forget it, it's a disappointment, it's really uncomfortable to play in this palace." ”
