Chapter 3 Isolation and helplessness
"He must not be allowed to go to the Ten Permanent Attendants! Otherwise, I will be more and less lucky tonight! Between the lightning and flint, Ji Ping didn't have time to think about it, subconsciously pulled out the long sword on his waist and stabbed at Zhang Zhou hard.
Another bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and under the light of lightning, a snow-white blade pierced through Zhang Zhou's chest from behind, stirring up a stream of blood that splashed half of Ji Ping's cheek.
Thundered!
The rolling thunder drowned out Zhang Zhou's terrible screams, he turned around, a great voice came out of his throat, and looked at the pale Ji Ping with open eyes, his eyes were full of disbelief, as if asking, how could this son of heaven, who has always been cowardly and timid, dare to kill...
As Zhang Zhou slowly fell to the ground, the long sword in Ji Ping's hand was also drawn out, and blood shot out.
Ji Ping froze there, his chest was so tight that he was almost suffocating, and the smell of blood splashed on his face made him want to gag.
"Zhang Zhou, since you want to kill me, then don't blame me......" He looked at Zhang Zhou, who was lying on the ground with bulging eyes and staring blankly, muttering to himself, as if to comfort himself.
"陛xià."
At this moment, a deep voice sounded in his ears behind him.
Someone?!
Ji Ping was startled, and subconsciously swung his long sword and slashed back.
Then he came back to his senses, hurriedly withdrew his long sword, turned around and saw his guard, the Yellow Gate servant Geng Zhong bowing and saluting.
Geng Zhong ......" Ji Ping didn't know what to say for a while.
Geng Zhong bowed down and said: "Zhang Zhoumou rebelled against the lord, even if His Majesty does not kill him, the minister will also cut him with a thousand knives!" ”
Judging from the words of the Ten Standing Servants just now, this Geng Zhong is still credible, Ji Ping took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "You know everything?" ”
Geng Zhong said in a deep voice: "The minister has been secretly protecting His Majesty not far away. ”
"Actually, I just want to live......" Ji Ping smiled abruptly, his arm trembled and stretched the long sword out of the corridor, letting the rain wash the blood on the sword: "Geng Zhong, you said that as the Son of Heaven, is this ambition big?" ”
Unlike all emperors who called themselves I, in this era, emperors generally called themselves I in writing, and they also called themselves I when they met and put up a shelf, and they called themselves I, I, and Yu when they spoke on weekdays.
Ji Ping called himself me, and Geng Zhong naturally heard the intimacy.
"It is the sin of the subordinates that the traitor plots rebellion and makes His Majesty anxious and uneasy." Geng Zhong bowed to the ground: "I am willing to lead the Yellow Gate to obey and destroy this gang of traitors!" After a pause, he said: "It's just that the ministers are afraid that they can't do it, and they have involved the Queen Mother and Her Majesty." ”
Ji Ping smiled bitterly and shook his head, yes, if you are not in the palace, you will never know how powerful the Ten Standing Servants are.
When Emperor Ling was there, in addition to the guards guarding outside the palace, there were two guards in the palace, one was the Huangmen redundant servant belonging to the emperor, led by Geng Zhong, guarding the palace ban, that is, the emperor's residence, and was only loyal to Emperor Ling.
The other is the Huangmen of the Middle Palace, which belongs to the queen, led by Zhao Zhong's cronies in Da Changqiu, guarding **.
After the death of Emperor Ling, the redundant servants of the Yellow Gate in the Middle Palace were still controlled by Zhao Zhong, but some of the redundant servants of the Yellow Gate were taken away by Zhang Rang, leaving only more than 100 people for Geng Zhong to protect the new emperor Liu Wei.
In addition to the Su Guard forces, the Ten Standing Servants also have other cronies, including the Ye Court Order, the Imperial Doctor Order, the Yellow Gate Order, the Yongxiang Order, the Hook Shield Order, the Zhongzang Mansion Order, and the Shang Fang Order...... Almost all the affairs in the palace are controlled, and there are ears and eyes everywhere, and any wind and grass can be detected by them.
Maybe it can be with the help of the external Praetorian Guard, but it is difficult to eradicate the ten permanent servants from the palace.
If Emperor Ling was there, the ten permanent servants would not dare to act rashly, but he, the new emperor, had less than two months on the throne, had no power, and did not establish the grace and prestige of the Son of Heaven, and his position in the hearts of those eunuchs was probably not as good as the ten permanent servants who had controlled their life and death for more than ten years.
"I'll go to the Queen Mother tomorrow, Geng Zhong, deal with him first, don't let the Ten Constants feel it." Ji Ping returned the sword into the sheath, stretched out his hands out of the corridor, scooped up the rain to wash the blood on his face, and walked towards the dormitory alone.
Closing the door of the dormitory, his body weakened, staggered, held a long sword in his hand, knelt on one knee, and gasped for breath.
Whether it was the murder he had just killed, or the murder of him by the Ten Standing Attendants, he was so suppressed that he couldn't breathe.
He has a peaceful and open-minded temperament, and has always believed that he can see anything but death. But now he is facing death, and he is really difficult to calm down.
In this world, how many people can face death calmly? At least he wasn't.
Lying on the couch, he couldn't sleep, and his mind struggled to analyze his current situation.
The ten most powerful servants in the palace are intertwined, controlling more than 600 redundant servants in the palace except for Geng Zhong, which is a great enemy in front of him.
The general outside the palace, also named He Jin, controls the fifth battalion of the Northern Army, the eighth school of the West Garden, and the guards such as Huben and Yulin, and is his own uncle, but he can't think of relying on him. No matter what the reason, in history, He Jin was powerful and wanted to kill the Ten Standing Servants, but he was killed by the Ten Standing Servants first, and it was he who summoned Dong Zhuo to Beijing and killed Liu Wei and He Hou. It's a pig-like teammate.
Yuan Kui, the Taifu who recorded Shangshu with He Jin, is nominally his teacher and can be regarded as close to him, but although Yuan Kui was born in a famous family of the fourth and third princes, he is not a good bird. In history, He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo to Beijing, Cao Cao, Chen Lin, Zheng Tai, and Lu Zhi all knew that there would be chaos, and they tried hard to persuade the old guy. The funny thing is that when Dong Zhuo wanted to abolish him, the emperor, the old guy immediately agreed. What kind of Taifu is this?
The only mother he can count on, not to mention it, maybe it is because he misses the kindness of the ten permanent servants in the past, and wavers between his brother He Jin and the ten permanent servants, although this is the only thing he can rely on, but it seems that he can't rely on it.
There is also the fateful enemy outside the palace, Xiliang Dong Zhuo, who is also approaching step by step.
Surrounded by enemies on all sides, he was alone, although he was the Son of Heaven, he had no military power, no political power, like a death row prisoner, locked in a dark bar, waiting for the final execution at any time......
Unconsciously, Ji Ping was extremely tired and gradually fell asleep.
In the dream, the hideous faces of the ten permanent servants kept flashing, forcing him to come, and finally fixed on a bearded face, and behind him stood a tall man holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, and a halberd stabbed at him!
Yes! He screamed, woke up suddenly, and sat up, his forehead covered with cold sweat.
After a long time, he sighed and muttered to himself: "You must escape from this palace, go incognito, and find a pure land...... "The building will collapse, so he is unwilling to be the emperor of this dead country."
"It's just that chaos is coming, where is the Pure Land?" He felt a little powerless, and it seemed that it was more difficult to find a pure land in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms than to be an emperor.
"Maybe I can escape from the palace and find Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Shenma, and take refuge with any of them?" Then he shook his head again, he didn't know if he would live until that time.
Cao Cao is still serving as a military captain under him, and Liu Bei is still serving as a county commander in a small place, as for Sun Quan...... I guess I'm only seven or eight years old.
I didn't sleep well all night, and early the next morning, he got up early, only to feel dizzy and weak, and estimated that he also had panda eyes.
Soon, two beautiful personal maids came in, and Ji Ping, who was a little confused, suddenly woke up.
Especially Wen Luo, who was the first to come up to help him get dressed, was only a twenty-year-old woman, mature like a peach, with a gentle and dignified face, with a slender and moving figure, and her gestures were full of infinite charm.
Seeing Wen Luo leaning down to help him get dressed, his pretty face was only three inches away from him, he exhaled like an orchid, his chest was about to bulge angrily, and when he got up in the morning, Ji Ping couldn't help but react.
Wen Luo soon appeared, her pink cheeks were smeared with a touch of red, and she secretly glanced at him, the autumn waves were like water, and the two of them looked at each other, Wen Luo hurriedly lowered her head.
"Your Majesty's body is much better than a few days ago." Wen Luo whispered, as if he meant something.
Ji Ping was a little surprised, his head tilted to the side, but he saw Huo Xiaoyuqiao, who was folding the quilt, with a slightly red face and a secret smile, and his cheeks were suddenly hot.
Wen Luo is okay, after all, she is an adult woman, but Huo Xiaoyu is still a little Lori.
At this time, Wen Luo had to help him to stay again, he was busy coming down by himself, a big man, it's okay to let a woman wear clothes, but you can't let a woman hold her to stay.
But at this moment, he felt the respect and enjoyment of being a son of heaven.
"Actually, God is still good to me." Ji Ping couldn't help but think wildly: "It would be good if another heavenly thunder slashed Dong Zhuo, and then bounced back to kill the Ten Standing Attendants......
The rain outside had not stopped, and it was dark.
The two maids stayed in the dormitory, and Ji Ping, accompanied by Geng Zhong, went to Changle Palace not far away to visit his mother, Empress Dowager He. In any case, his mother was always the only one he could rely on, and he wanted to find out what he wanted.
Along the way, he turned a blind eye to the eunuchs and palace maids who avoided the roadside, and just stared at it.
Killed Zhang Zhou last night, Geng Zhong has already dealt with it, and the ten permanent servants are missing Zhang Zhou, I'm afraid they will be suspicious, and they are chronic, poisonous, and drug, it will take a while to see the results, and there should be no big action for the time being.
It's just that what should I say after I meet? Should she tell her about what she heard last night? What would be the reaction after that? What will be the consequences of forcing the ten permanent servants to be in a hurry? Is it to launch a scapegoat? Or does the dog jump off the wall and do it immediately?
When it came to his own life and death, he had to think about every question and detail repeatedly.
When I arrived at Changle Palace, the palace people reported that they went to Zhongtai, which is also known as Shangshutai, and is also in the palace ban.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperor emptied the power of the three dukes, and used Shangshutai as the center of the court to deal with political affairs.
Now Shangshutai is jointly controlled by the general He Jin and Taifu Yuan Kui, and He Hou Linchao is in charge of the system, which is equivalent to the Son of Heaven, and naturally often goes to deal with political affairs, but in Shangshutai, there is no shortage of cronies of the ten permanent servants.
Ji Ping hesitated for a moment, then turned to Shangshutai, and when he reached the bend of a corridor in Shangshutai, he faintly heard the voice of an old woman.
He couldn't help but frown.
