"Sangui, have you heard? The Emperor Taishang wanted to try those eunuchs publicly. What does this mean exactly? An old farmer who was reclining at the foot of a big tree to enjoy the shade looked curiously towards his companion, who was also squinting and enjoying the cool breeze in the shade of the tree.

"How do I know, but I think it should be a good thing, those goddamn eunuchs have done a lot of hurtful things in our village, do you remember the granddaughter of Liu Laohan's family? If you don't trust the emperor's Hongfu, I don't know what year and month I can go home, a few days ago, when I came back, I looked at the family, and they all cried into tears. The old man named Sangui opened his eyes and sighed. Like the granddaughter of Liu Laohan's family, it's good. Do you know the Yang Caiwang family in Yang Village next door? ”

"I know, why don't you know, Yang Caiwang is also a well-known rich man in our ten miles and eight villages here. The daughter of his family, but also heard that those castrations were robbed, the family spent a lot of silver, but they didn't even find the news of the daughter, and no one paid attention to it when it came to the government. Could it be that he didn't come back? The curiosity on the face of the old farmer who spoke at the beginning was even stronger, and he couldn't wait.

"The daughter of his family, but a famous beauty in ten miles and eight villages, heard that a man in the county wanted to come to the door to ask for marriage, but as a result, he let those eggless castrations be robbed. I told my three daughters who married in their village, a few days ago, someone from Xuanfu came and asked his family to recognize the relics. It's just that when the people are gone, there are only some things left. The old man shook his head and said, "I heard that Yang Caiwang and his mother-in-law have cried and fainted several times, and finally picked up the bones and some relics of their daughter, and came back to bury them." gave birth to a daughter, and let those eunuchs be harmed. ”

"These beasts, it's better to be the emperor, last time, those Tartars, passing by our village, I heard that the emperor also stood up to stop it, and those Tartars were not allowed to burn our houses, otherwise, I don't know how many people will freeze to death." This time, I cleaned up those eunuchs for us again, which is even greener than the blue sky. ”

"That is, I don't want to think about who he is, the elder brother of the current Long Live Lord, the big man of the Heavenly Family who has been the Long Live Lord for more than ten years, just like what is said in those dramas, what can be seen with two eyes......" The chatter of the two old men is almost heard in all states and counties, townships and villages in Xuanfu Border Town.

Among them, many people really got up and decided to rush to Xuanfu to listen to the so-called public trial, but more people wanted to pay homage to the Emperor Taishang, who was full of countless legends.

At the same time, Guo Shun, the eunuch guarding Datong Town, after meeting with Qian Zhong, a henchman sent by Zhu Qizhen, the emperor, thought about it for a whole day and a night, and then gritted his teeth and went to Xuanfu City tremblingly, and behind him, there were more than a dozen carts full of gold, silver and property, and went with him to Xuanfu.

-------------------- Guo Shun rushed to the Xuanfu as soon as he arrived, and rushed to Zhu Qizhen's palace to take the blame, but Zhu Qizhen's reaction was really out of the expectations of the Xuanfu, and there was no expression, but someone told Guo Shun that he was allowed to return to the house for a temporary residence, and when the public trial came, he would naturally know.

Few people knew what kind of news Qian Zhong brought to Guo Shun, and everyone didn't understand that Guo Shun had already known that after all the ministers in Xuanfu Border Town were arrested and imprisoned, he actually dared to come.

However, these mysteries, the only Emperor Taishang and his close ministers around him know, no one can understand what Zhu Qizhen, the Emperor Taishang, wants to play, but Luo Hengxin and Na Jiang Fudu swore to tell their subordinates that the fate of the five guards and garrison eunuchs in the border towns of Xuanfu must be a dead end, and the civil and military also let go of their worries. As for that Guo Shun, he is just the eunuch of Datong, if the emperor disposes of it, it seems that it is a little unreasonable, after all, the big guys are very clear at present, and those grievances between Banzai and the emperor are very good, so after that, everyone is very interested and too lazy to talk more.

Instead, he put more energy into the upcoming public trial, although many officials have a lot of criticism about this kind of public trial, thinking that this kind of behavior is really a bit of a loss of dignity in the court and the prestige of the heavenly family. However, everyone's words and answers are the same sentence, I am atoning for the mistakes I have committed for myself, and no one is a sage, who can be without fault. I'm not a saint, and if I do it, am I afraid that people will know about it, so I can't cover it up?

I just want everyone in the world to understand that I am not the kind of person who doesn't even dare to admit my own faults. This sentence blocked everyone's mouths, blocked all the words, the emperor's actions, as if he was committing a crime, such actions and behaviors, as a courtier, really can't persuade each other.

In the north of Xia Yue, whether it is the green mountains in the distance, or the tall trees nearby, the fat green leaves make the poisonous head a little deflated, and only the occasional blowing breeze can make the branches and leaves stretch one or two.

The barracks, which was originally deserted, is now outside the barracks, and there are countless straw huts or wooden huts that look like refugees. In the barracks, the original broken bricks and tiles have been cleaned up, making the barracks seem extraordinarily empty, only the tall mud point platform has been repaired, and it already looks quite new.

On the school platform at that point, there was a flagpole made of the whole tree trunk, and on the top of the pole, a Ming regimental dragon flag was hung, which was facing the wind and slowly swinging.

Under it is Zhu Qizhen, who is sitting in danger, and behind him are all the civil and military officials of the states and counties of Xuanfu who can rush to the Xuanfu to listen to the public trial. There is also Guo Shun, whose face is a little pale, and a lone figure stands on one side.

This eunuch guarding Datong Town, who is powerful in Datong, is like a lonely sheep at this moment, without the slightest arrogance and arrogance at the same time, only respect and awe, and his wandering gaze sweeps on the back of Zhu Qizhen's majesty from time to time, and will soon move away, silently looking at the barracks where all the buildings have disappeared completely, looking at the crowds of people who are pouring into the barracks from outside the door, and his expression is extremely complicated.

And not far from his left and right, there are several older eunuchs, but these eunuchs and Guo Shun have no meaning or sign of communication, and they only occasionally make eye contact with each other, no one is willing to speak, their expressions are also full of doubts and unease, it seems that they don't understand why they and others are here.

These eunuchs were all sent to serve Zhu Qizhen, the eunuch of the emperor, who accompanied Xing'an to Xuanfu last time.

Themselves, the eunuchs who were sent to Zhu Qizhen knew very well that most of them were old and weak, and they were all honest in the palace, or they didn't know how to meet and did nothing.

Among them, Ruan Lang, the highest position, is just a young eunuch of the Divine Palace, the so-called Divine Palace Supervisor, in fact, he is in charge of the sprinkling and sweeping of the Taimiao Temple and various temples and miscellaneous work such as incense lamps, in a word, this is the lightest of the twelve eunuchs, but it is also the most powerless and wealthless place.

As an old man who has been in the palace since the first year of Yongle, although Ruan Lang is talented, he doesn't know how to meet and bother, so it is a miracle that he can climb to the position of young eunuch.

And among these old eunuchs who came with him, it can be said that they all have no backstage, no backers, and they all have some skills, but they don't have any popularity in the palace, otherwise, how could they be sent to Zhu Qizhen, the emperor who has lost power, to wait?

-------------------- Ruan Lang knew very well in his heart that once a son of heaven and a courtier, this minister not only refers to foreign ministers, but also refers to internal ministers, where can these old eunuchs be trusted more than the eunuchs that Zhu Qiyu brought from his palace?

Therefore, when he was sent to Xuanfu, when others were crying and mitting, Ruan Lang was not shocked, and even persuaded his friend that Wang Yao, the prisoner, should stop thinking nonsense, or obediently obey the order, after all, the surname of the emperor, they are familiar after all, at least now it is much more comfortable than staying in the palace, Wang Yao was not willing, after all, he has a friend Lu Zhong, since Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, Lu Zhong's status in the Jinyi Guard has been soaring, and he actually became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, This made Wang Yao think that he could have an arm.

But he never thought that he regarded Lu Zhong as a friend, but the scheming Lu Zhong was not his friend. Since Lu Zhong became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Wang Yao wanted to visit several times, but he was rejected, and he realized what kind of person his good friend was.

Wang Yao, who was completely desperate, finally came to Xuanfu with Ruan Lang, but what they didn't expect was that after coming to Xuanfu, they were under house arrest in the Taishang Emperor's Palace in Xuanfu before they even had time to perform any duties, and there were many unfamiliar faces in the team who were escorted away, and after that, there was no news of those people, which made Ruan Lang and others panic, for fear that such a fate would happen to their heads.

However, after about a few days of fear, the people around the Emperor seemed to have completely lost interest in them, and did not take any of the eunuchs away, but from time to time people came to inquire about their experiences and their positions in the palace.

And after that, Ruan Lang, as the highest official position, naturally became the leader of these eunuchs who were under house arrest, and when Yuan Bin communicated with him, Ruan Lang understood that the subordinates of the Emperor Taishang, and the people who were escorted from here were all spies sent by Banzai today.

Although Ruan Lang didn't understand where the Emperor Taishang got the news from, and dared to be so sure that those people were the spies sent by Banzai today, he still had to be secretly frightened, it seemed that the grievances between the Emperor Taishang and Banzai today seemed to be more serious than those described in the secret rumors.
