The leading eunuch squinted, he knew this person, and said coldly: "Oh, it's Lord Zheng, the well water of Taichang Temple and the Inner Government Bureau does not interfere with the river water, does Lord Zheng want to wade into this deep water." ”

"A few fathers-in-law, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, and leave a way for others to live." The man was neither humble nor arrogant.

"What if I don't say yes?" The leading eunuch smirked.

"I know you look down on me, but I wonder if you also look down on Your Majesty? Although Zheng has no ability, he can still see Tianyan! ”

The leading eunuch stared at the man for a long moment, then waved at the eunuchs and turned to leave.

The people who watched the excitement dispersed, and the man who confronted the eunuch just now glanced at the messy hotel, sighed, and was about to leave.

"Wait!" The two men shouted in unison.

The man turned around, looked at the shopkeeper and Li Tao, and asked strangely, "Two, is there something wrong?" ”

The shopkeeper bowed deeply to the man and said: "We are Zhao Feng, the shopkeeper of Yonghe Building, and the strong man has helped, and I have thanked the fighter here!" ”

The man nodded, and looked at Li Tao again: "I don't know what happened to this little Langjun?"

Li Tao smiled slightly and said: "The righteous deeds of the strong man are deeply admired, and I want to talk to the strong man next, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

Without waiting for the man to speak, Pei Yue turned his head to Zhao Feng on the side and said, "My master wants to talk to this strong man, I don't know if there is a quiet place in your store?" ”

"Yes, yes, there is a private room upstairs, please come with me!" Zhao Feng was busy.

Seeing this, the man smiled bitterly at Li Tao and said, "Xiao Langjun has all been arranged, what else do I have to say?" ”

Zhao Feng led the three of them to the private room to sit down, and said to the three of them: "The two of you sit down for a while, I'll go prepare some wine and food!" ”

Li Tao smiled and said, "I don't know the name of the strong man? ”

"Under Zheng Heng!"

"Oh, Zheng Langjun is from Chang'an?"

"Sort of!"

The two got acquainted with each other after a while, and through chatting Li Tao learned about Zheng Heng's life experience, which was also quite complicated.

……

Zheng Heng's father, Zheng Nianzu, is a palace magician, that is, a servant, who has no status, and he is a juggler, but with the word "palace", it is amazing, Zheng Nianzu's official residence is from the sixth grade, which is equivalent to a county. Therefore, he can also have three wives and four concubines, and a car to meet the sedan chair.

Although Zheng Heng was born in such a family, he is the fourth in line, and there are three elder brothers. There is only one court magician, and if Zheng Nianzu dies, only one of his sons can inherit his father's mantle and serve in the palace.

No matter how his father chooses the heir, he will not pick Zheng Heng's head. Zheng Heng's mother died as soon as he was born, and his mother had no status in the family before her death, and his father didn't look at Zheng Heng.

No one hurts a motherless child, and even his subordinates dare to bully him. As soon as Zheng Heng was born, he was raised by a wet nurse surnamed Chen, who treated him very harshly, set all kinds of rules, and scolded him at every turn. In front of others, of course, a subordinate would not dare to bully the master, but Zheng Heng slightly displeased her, returned to the wing room, closed the door, and pinched desperately, often pinching Zheng Heng's body with a blue and purple patch.

Therefore, Zheng Heng became the most well-behaved son of the Zheng family, and he didn't dare to say anything anywhere.

Before the death of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, his deathbed edict: Prince Li Xian ascended the throne in front of the coffin, and those who cannot adjudicate on military affairs will be decided by the Queen of Heaven. Four days later, Li Xian ascended the throne as Tang Zhongzong, and respected Wu Zetian as the empress dowager. In February of the first year of Guangzhai, Li Xian planned to appoint Wei Xuanzhen, the father of Empress Wei, as a servant, and Prime Minister Pei Yan strongly admonished, Li Xian said angrily: "Even if I give the world to Wei Xuanzhen, why not?" Do you still care about a waiter? Wu Zetian used this as an excuse to depose Li Xian as the king of Luling and move to Fangzhou. The fourth son, Li Dan, King Yu, was appointed as the emperor, which was for Tang Ruizong, and Wu Zetian was in charge of the dynasty and ruled by himself.

When Zheng Heng was eight years old, Tang Ruizong married a princess to Tubo, and the Tibetan envoy came to the palace to welcome him, and Tang Ruizong specially summoned Zheng Nianzu into the palace to perform magic. It was also Tang Ruizong's pleasure for a while, allowing officials above the seventh rank in Beijing to bring their families into the palace to participate in the feast.

So, Zheng Nianzu took his four sons into the palace, and the son's mother followed. Zheng Heng didn't have a mother, so Zheng Nianzu asked Chen to follow.

After entering the palace, the nurse Chen was unusual, and encouraged Zheng Heng, saying that it was rare to come to the palace and ask Zheng Heng to go around.

Where does Zheng Heng dare? Stood there and didn't move. Chen quietly pinched his buttocks, causing tears to roll in his eyes. There was no way, he had to be dragged by Chen and passively follow Chen.

Before they could take a few steps, a eunuch in charge stopped them: "Who is it?" How dare you trespass in the palace? Don't want to live anymore? ”

Zheng Heng was so frightened that he was about to cry, but Chen was not in a hurry, pointed at Zheng Heng and said, "He went to perform magic tricks for the prince and let the prince relieve his boredom." ”

As soon as he heard this, the eunuch seemed to have seen a ghost, quickly dodged to the side, and scolded: "Then don't you hurry up, what are you rubbing?" ”

As he spoke, the eunuch also pointed to the northwest.

After a while, they came to a courtyard in the northwest corner of the palace, which, unlike other places, was filled with guards with knives and the sound of children crying inside.

As soon as the two guards saw Zheng Heng, they immediately unsheathed their steel knives and fought with two knives, blocking the way of Zheng Heng and Chen. Chan concocted the same method. The guards searched Zheng Hengzhou's body carefully up and down before approaching the door, opened the big lock hanging on the closed door, knocked on the knocker, and then quickly retreated.

After a while, the door opened a crack, and the guard who knocked on the door loudly reported what was going on, and then scolded Zheng Heng: "Why are you stunned? Hurry inside! ”

Zheng Heng turned back step by step and walked in timidly. The moment the door closed, Zheng Heng saw through the crack in the door that Chen had taken broken steps and walked back the same way.

Zheng Heng entered the inside and saw a luxurious bed curtain, and the cry came from behind the bed curtain. The palace maid who led him in knelt down and reported: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is a little master who has come to do magic tricks for you, do you want to see it?" ”

"Magical?" The crying stopped, and several palace maids hurriedly lifted the curtain of the bed, and saw a little boy about the same age as Zheng Heng getting up from the bed, and the boy's face was covered with blisters, as if he had been scalded by boiling water.

The boy couldn't wait to yell at Zheng Heng: "Are you magical? Fast! Hurry up and change me, and make all these bubbles on my face gone! ”

Zheng Heng was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said, "This ...... I can't change. ”

As soon as he heard that it couldn't be changed, the prince was annoyed and cried again: "Why are you still here if you can't change?" Call me! Hit him! ”

There were really two eunuchs who immediately ran up, pressed Zheng Heng to the ground, and beat Zheng Heng's skin open. After the fight, Zheng Heng ran out with his hands on his buttocks, the door had been locked from the outside, he slapped the door and shouted to open the door, and the guards outside the door roared majestically: "Only allowed to enter and not allowed to go out!" You must dare to make loud noises again and rectify the Fa on the spot. ”

As he spoke, the two eunuchs rushed over again, Zheng Heng's eyes darkened, and he fainted.
