When the snow in the west of the river was full, Chang'an City welcomed the first snow of the year, this belated snow was unusually large, this winter Chang'an City was surprisingly cold, all kinds of strange things emerged in endlessly, chaos was numerous,

The female cat surnamed Cao in Anyifang in the south of the city actually gave birth to a cat cub with only one eye on a snowy night, because the nose hole grew to the mouth, and it died less than a day after birth, and the cat died a few days later, the water in a well in the north of the west of Yongningfang Cross Street suddenly tumbled, steaming, and the water could be soaked in the feet, and people from all over the street poured out, because there were too many people, and the neighborhood had to seal the well.

If these things that happened outside were just rumors, and there was no movement, then one thing that happened in the Daming Palace was enough to be appalling.

A little eunuch in charge of cleaning the court in front of the Zhonghe Palace in the Inner Servant Province was very distressed because of the leaves flying in late autumn, although the court had been closed since the winter, but the officials in the province supervised it stricter than usual, in order to avoid or reduce the board, he had to get up in the middle of the night every day, and clean until dawn,

At first he didn't care much, thinking that it was left by the palace maid when he came here to play, so he mixed the hair with the leaves and swept it away, not wanting to the next day, he cleaned there, and found a lock of hair, this time the little eunuch muttered in his heart, thinking that this is who can't get along with himself, deliberately messing with me, so he didn't sleep on the third night, and rushed there on the first watch, turned off the lantern and sat on the ground to see who was behind the bad,

Although the weather was cold, the little eunuch still couldn't stand the sleepiness that came from the bursts, so he sat in a pile of dead leaves and took a nap, when it came to the end of the second watch, suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the leaves were blowing, only to see a palace maid with a cloak coming slowly, less than two feet away from the little eunuch, she squatted down and touched on the ground,

The little eunuch was so frightened that he knocked down the socket of his teeth, and the blood all over his body coagulated, and he could still speak there, not only could he not speak, but his legs were numb and his hands were numb, and he couldn't move, and the palace maid quickly touched him, suddenly raised her head, and asked him gloomily: "Xiao Langjun, do you see my head?" ”

The little eunuch listened to her politely, and finally got it, and he replied tremblingly, "I don't...... He didn't see anything, but only a lock of hair. When the palace maid heard this, she suddenly let out a strange cry, and said sharply: "That's my head, my head was cut off by the black-hearted ghost, and there is only this lock of hair left, you return my head, you return my head." ”

At this time, a gust of wind blew and blew away the messy hair that the palace maid covered her face, and the little eunuch clearly saw that the palace maid who asked for her head actually had no face, and her head turned out to be the head of a dog.

There is another version of the same absurd story, which is about the sight and hearing of a eunuch who got up early to sprinkle and sweep, this little eunuch was on duty in front of Hanyuan Palace, and at the end of the second watch of the day, he was sprinkling water in the open space of the square, and there was a gust of wind blowing cold, blowing cold, and then he heard a strange sound, such as the sound of silkworms eating mulberry leaves, sizzling, he took a lantern and looked at it, he couldn't help but be creepy, his face was pale, and he saw hundreds of headless ghosts swaying and trembling in front of him. The sizzling sound was the sound of his feet rubbing against the slate of his boots.

The headless ghosts muttered as they walked: "You have a head, I don't have a head, you give me back my head, give me back my head." The eunuch's frightened hair stood on end, and he threw away his broom and turned to run, but when he turned around, he was even more frightened, and behind him stood a female ghost with a disheveled head, who was pulling her hair down one by one, and giggling at him as she pulled it, and said, "You pull my head, I pull your head." ”

These two incidents spread, and the eunuchs in the palace couldn't help but talk about it, saying that the limelight had changed, and even Wu Cairen came out to ask for his life, and people insisted that the female ghost was Wu Cairen who was executed after the change of nectar, and Wu Cairen's father and brother were all courtiers, and they were implicated by the change of nectar, and were exterminated by Qiu Shiliang, and the eunuchs who were ordered to take the poisoned wine, Wu Cairen refused to obey the edict, and ran all over the hall crazy, shouting while running: "The eunuch party is chaotic, I want to see the emperor." ”

The eunuch hated her and did not obey, and in anger he ordered the guards to pull her hair and pour poisonous wine into her mouth, the guards used too much force, and Wu Cairen struggled and fiercely, so that most of the hair on his head was torn off, and it is said that Wu Cairen glared at the eunuch who executed her and said: "You pull my head, I pull your head, the age is in Gengshen, and the blood is overwhelming." The eunuch also said stiffly, "Before pulling my head, you should first find your own head." ”

In order to prevent Wu Cairen from becoming a ghost after his death, the eunuch cut off her head, sewed a dog's head on the corpse, and buried it instead, and asked the warlock to move his hands and feet on her coffin, so that she would never be able to live beyond life, it is said that the eunuch who executed Wu Cairen was Qiu Shiliang's cronies, and the housekeeper eunuch Chang Xuanhua of Qiuzhuang,

In the last days, the demons are eternal,

There were such rumors in the dignified Daming Palace, disturbing the murderers of the Quartet, Li Ang, who was sick in bed, was furious, and strictly ordered the right army to make Yu Hongzhi find out the rumor-mongers, and severely punished them, Yu Hongzhi turned the Daming Palace upside down, and did not find out what the name was, and turned the Taiji Palace and Xingqing Palace over again, and finally captured the real murderer and handed it over to Jing Zhaoyin for interrogation. I found a few substitutes for the dead to deal with,

Yu Hongzhi's anxious face turned black, shouting that the little eunuchs would go to the palace in order to confront them in court, under the auspices of Prime Minister Li Yu, the little eunuchs were taken to the palace, in front of the seriously ill emperor and the Manchu Dynasty, the little eunuchs retracted their confessions in court, and shouted injustice together, saying that Yu Hongzhi tortured them indiscriminately and beat them into tricks and framed them.

Yu Hongzhi was difficult to distinguish, and he was afraid to ask for guilt, so he was demoted by two levels and fined for one year.

In this small battle, Concubine Yang and her party won a small victory over the eunuch party again, it seems that the position of the crown prince of Chen Wang Li Chengmei is a little more stable, Yu Hongzhi, who has suffered a lot of suffering, has to put down his dignity and walk into Qiu Shiliang's duty room again, a mouthful of "Kuangmei" called sweet as honey, the two lieutenants of the forbidden army got together and muttered for an afternoon, at dusk, Yu Hongzhi finally made up his mind, he put on a cloak and said to Qiu Shiliang: "This time, we are no longer good at making claims, everything is only your horse's head, Even if Li Rong is not in a thousand ways, it is stronger than letting the Yang Party gain power. ”

The lieutenants of the two armies were determined to support the security king Li Rong as the crown prince, and the news soon reached Concubine Yang, since Li Ang was seriously ill, Concubine Yang had not seen his figure for more than a month, his nephew who was more than 20 years older than himself, the core of the Yang Party, and Yang Sifu said with some concern: "If Your Majesty never sees Niangniang, what do we rely on to make Your Majesty change his mind, just rely on one nephew, yes, I was stared at by Li Yu and his henchmen in the court, making things difficult everywhere, running on from time to time, and being troubled by Liu Hongyi in the palace, If you want to see the emperor but can't get it, and the civil strife is flanking, what hope is there. ”

Yang Sifu suggested that Concubine Yang deign to see Yang Hao again, and persuaded him to change his mind and help Li Chengmei ascend the throne, Yang Sifu said quite explicitly: "I heard that Li Yan sent Wang Fu'er to Liquan, and actually stayed in the camp for six days and six nights. ”

When Concubine Yang heard this, she trembled with anger, and she angrily reprimanded Yang Si and replied: "What do you mean, you let me follow the example of Wang Fu'er, that slut, wash myself and dedicate myself to him, wagging my tail to him and begging for mercy, asking me to sell myself for glory." ”

Yang Si saw her angry again, and hurriedly pleaded guiltily: "The nephew lost his words, the nephew lost his words, the nephew never had this intention, the nephew meant that the current situation is inseparable, for the sake of the insurance period, we must at least hold the surname Yang, and give him some sweetness, ah, this lip service is really not enough, this ......"

Before Yang Sifu's words were finished, he was interrupted by Concubine Yang's cold gaze, she sneered and said: "What if he Yang Hao has 300,000 troops, does he dare to enter the city, dare to rebel, he is not against Li Chen, we still have to weigh and weigh, he imprisoned King Guang is equivalent to cutting off his own way back, not to mention a Zhang Bozhong who is against him, there are many people who oppose him, this person is not to worry about now, as long as we grasp Qiu Shiliang and Shence Army in our hands, we still have a ninety percent chance of winning, as for the remaining one, we have to resign ourselves to fate." ”

Yang Sifu complimented: "Since ancient times, there has been no perfect thing, but if there are six points in everything, it is worth fighting hard, if there is a ninety percent possibility, then you have to fight for your life." Yang Sifu smiled, suddenly frowned, and said worriedly: "It's just that if you let Qiu Shiliang and them interfere, this is the first merit of supporting the dragon, I am only afraid of ......."

Concubine Yang said lazily: "You are too worried, we are not a one-day or two-day friendship with His Royal Highness King An, Qiu Shiliang and Yu Hongzhi hate Li Yu's guy, and they are determined to protect the king, and they will be indispensable in the future, but if you want to talk about this first skill, isn't it still you and me." ”

Yang Si replied: "Even if His Royal Highness King An can successfully ascend the throne, it is only cheaper than those two eunuchs, at that time, the court was not their world, what do we fight with them, even if we want to forge ahead, I am afraid that it will inevitably repeat the mistake of nectar." ”

Concubine Yang snorted disdainfully:

"You are still the prime minister of the dynasty, and you are ignorant of the general trend of the world, now this Chang'an City and Ganlu are all the same, Wen Shimao defeated Hexi, Yang Hao's soldiers came to the city, his banner is against the eunuch party, although he does not dare to oppose the emperor, he does not dare to oppose the enemy, does not dare to oppose the enemy Shiliang,

"Without Wen Shimao, Qiu Shiliang's hand can't reach out of the city, in order to keep the small world of Daming Palace, does he dare not cooperate with us, do you think I let you make up those two absurd rumors, I am idle and have nothing to do, I am testing Qiu Shiliang and Yu Hongzhi, what is the result, Yu Hongzhi can't find a name, do you really think he is incompetent?

"Even if he is incompetent, the Judgment Hall and Xiao Qingyi are vegetarians, but he can't find out anything, even if Li Yu steps on it, he can't find out, what does this mean, the two lieutenants are clear about the general trend, they know how to weigh the pros and cons, there will be a place for you and me in the Daming Palace in the future, time has changed, and he Qiu Shiliang wants to play a nectar change again, that is, to bring about his own destruction, and then ......"

Concubine Yang thought about it and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, but Yang Sifu already understood what he meant: Li Rong, the king of An, is not a cowardly Li Ang, he has means and perseverance, how can he be willing to be at the mercy of Qiu Shiliang, he can't help but think, I, Yang Sifu, am not Li Xun, if there is really another change of nectar, killing Qiu Shiliang is not like slaughtering a dog's ear,

Concubine Yang finally comforted her nephew Prime Minister: "The big change is this winter and next spring, wait to hear the thunder on the ground." ”
