Chapter VIII Dong Hou Liu Xie
The night before, the Ten Standing Servants had just planned to poison the Son of Heaven, but they hadn't seen Zhang Zhou for the past two days, and the Son of Heaven's illness seemed to be cured, which made their hearts beat drums.
How could Ji Ping have the heart to pay attention to Guo Sheng, just thinking about how to escape from the palace and get out of Yong'an Palace, seeing that Guo Sheng still had to follow, he frowned and said: "Guo Changshi, you go and get busy yourself, I will go to see the queen mother." β
Guo Sheng replied and left with small steps.
"Also, don't let me know that you're in trouble with Geng Zhong and Xiaoyu afterwards." Ji Ping added again.
Guo Sheng's body stiffened, and he hurriedly said: "The minister will never dare." "Say it, run away, and leave in a hurry.
Looking at Geng Zhong and Huo Xiaoyu's eyes with a touched look, Ji Ping smiled and didn't say anything.
Although the ten permanent servants are tyrannical, after all, they are eunuchs, attached to the imperial power, and have means in secret, but they naturally have scruples about the Son of Heaven on the surface, and it is not a problem for him to protect a few people around him, of course, if he is replaced by Dong Zhuo, he may not even be able to protect himself.
Ji Ping first went to the North Palace to find Tang Wan, and after seeing his mother together, he walked around the palace, passing by a palace, and heard the sound of reading in the palace, the voice was immature, so he pushed the door in with Tang Wan.
"The younger brother has seen the royal brother and the imperial sister-in-law." A **-year-old boy in the hall was studying, and when he saw Ji Ping and the others, he hurriedly got up and saluted, it was Ji Ping's half-brother Liu Xie, Dong Hou who was trying to replace him that night.
Emperor Ling** has been absurd for more than ten years, but most of the heirs died young, and the only princes who survived in the end were him and Liu Wei.
"Why should my brother be polite." Ji Ping smiled and helped Liu Xie up.
"The royal brother is the Son of Heaven, and the ceremony cannot be abolished." Liu Xie's serious appearance.
Ji Ping patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Reading also has to combine work and rest, why don't you go out for a walk with me?" β
He didn't know if the Ten Standing Servants had looked for Liu Xie, but for this brother, Ji Ping or Liu Wei felt a little guilty in his heart.
His mother, Empress He, not only poisoned Liu Xie's biological mother Wang Meiren, but also forced to death the Empress Dowager Dong, who raised Liu Xie, Liu Xie is now even more lonely in the palace, maybe he will be the emperor in the future, but the situation at the moment is much worse than Ji Ping.
Liu Xie, who is young and already seems quite precocious, who can know the sadness and price involved.
"Brother Huang, my brother hasn't finished reading today's book." Liu Xie was still hesitating, but was forcibly taken out by Ji Ping, Liu Xie kicked his legs and struggled twice, as if he felt that his behavior was indecent, so he no longer resisted.
Tang Wan on the side couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle, she was also very sympathetic to the little Liu Xie and appreciated his intelligence, but at this time, Tang Wan felt that Ji Ping's somewhat unscrupulous personality made her even closer to and like.
Along the way, Liu Xie's demeanor was calm, and he did not have the liveliness and vigor that a child should have, but Ji Ping, the elder brother, smiled casually and was very "frivolous".
Ji Ping also noticed that Liu Xie seemed to respect him as an imperial brother in everything, but in fact, he always maintained a faint alienation.
He was a little helpless in his heart, but he couldn't help it, He Hou killed Wang Meiren and Empress Dowager Dong, and Liu Xie didn't hate Wu and Wu, which was already very good.
Several people came out of the North Palace, and walked along the pavilion road in the air towards the South Palace.
The palace includes the four palaces of the east, west, north and south and the Yong'an Palace, of which the south palace and the north palace are the two main palace groups, the south palace was built in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the south palace was expanded again to 100,000 households in Luoyang, LΓΌ Buwei. It was not until the time of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty that the North Palace was built.
The two palaces are separated by one mile, occupy the center of the north and south halves of the city respectively, and are built on rammed earth platforms, and the north palace is higher, and is connected by an overhead pavilion road in between.
Looking from the pavilion road, the palace could not be seen under the misty rain curtain, and Ji Ping secretly sighed at the grandeur of the palace.
Not to mention anything else, the main hall of the single North Palace, Deyang Palace, is more than thirty-seven zhang long from east to west, can accommodate tens of thousands of people, the jade steps are as high as two zhang, and there are fountains in the hall, which is extremely luxurious, but it is a pity that it will be burned by Dong Zhuo soon.
He seems to be playing, but in fact he is stepping on the spot, secretly keeping an eye on the surrounding route.
It is a matter of his own life, and he can't afford to be negligent, in case he can't escape when he rebelled in the Ten Standing Servants, he will soon be placed under house arrest by Dong Zhuo. Therefore, only now is this opportunity to take a closer look at the situation in the palace.
In the stepping point, he has been pondering one thing, will there be a secret passage to escape under this palace?
He had been to the ruins of Changle Palace in the Western Han Dynasty in his previous life, and from the ruins, the palace of the Western Han Dynasty in Chang'an had a secret passage, I don't know if there is a palace in Luoyang? I think there will be.
All rulers are most afraid of rebellion, and most of them will leave a way back when building the palace, not to mention that the South Palace was built by LΓΌ Buwei's scheming guy, and maybe the North Palace also has it.
It's just that he can't see the secret passage from the outside, so he decided to take advantage of this time to go to the bookstores in Dongguan and Lantai to find clues to the secret passage.
The air pavilion road between the north and south palaces is tortuous and long, and it takes a long time to reach the south palace.
They avoided forbidden places such as Shangshutai, which dealt with political affairs, and mainly played in the harem, but when passing by the Jianzhang Palace, his heart moved, and he wanted to enter.
In addition to his brother Liu Xie, he actually has an older sister named Liu Han, named Princess Wannian, who was born to Emperor Ling and a palace man when he was ridiculous, so his status is not high.
Unexpectedly, outside the Jianzhang Palace, several people heard a sharp voice scolding: "What princess? A......"
Ji Ping couldn't help frowning, and broke into the palace with Tang Wan and Liu Xie.
In the palace, a woman in palace clothes about sixteen years old was bowing her head and weeping, but it was a eunuch holding a whip who scolded her, and her expression was extremely perverse.
Nima, these eunuchs are really against the sky!
Seeing this scene, Ji Ping was angry, his face sank like water, and without saying a word, he rushed up with a violent kick, kicking the eunuch on his stomach and slamming his head on the pillar.
He leaned down again and grabbed the eunuch's head, striking it against the pillar several times.
Behind Ji Ping, Tang Wan and Liu Xie opened their mouths in shock, but Huo Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with brilliance.
"Which miscellaneous ......" The eunuch's head was broken and bleeding, and he was stunned for a while, and then he got up and danced the whip and was about to scold, but when he looked up, he saw Ji Ping with a calm face, his hideous face stiffened, and he stayed there and sobbed: "Your Majesty...... His Majesty...... ιxiΓ . β
The woman in palace clothes who bowed her head raised her head, her delicate face was a little pale, her beautiful eyes were slightly red and swollen, and she hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The concubine pays a visit to Your Majesty, the King of Bohai, and the noble Tang Dynasty." β
Ji Ping hurriedly helped her up and said in a harmonious voice: "Sister doesn't need to be polite. "In this era, my sister is called my sister, and he is always a little unaccustomed to it, but he still has to adapt to the times.
Tang Wan also came up to support her, and comforted her softly: "Sister, are you okay?" β
Princess Wannian's eyes were red, and she secretly glanced at the eunuch, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and she shook her head again and again.
Ji Ping saw that his sister was a princess, and she was so afraid of the eunuch, it can be seen that she is bullied a lot on weekdays, and she always serves him, and these little miscellaneous are also so domineering, beating and scolding his sister!
Without saying a word, he turned around, snatched the whip from the eunuch's hand, slapped his head and face, and kicked him a few times.
The eunuch rolled and howled on the ground, and soon his nose and face were swollen.
On the side, Liu Xie was stunned, he never thought that his weak imperial brother would have such a strong and violent side, but Geng Zhong was not surprised, after all, he saw the Son of Heaven kill people with his own eyes that night, and now it is nothing to beat a person.
Seeing that the eunuch repeatedly fell to the ground and begged for mercy, Ji Ping snorted coldly and said, "Dog slave, still don't report your name?" He had always respected people, but he showed no mercy to the dog eunuch who bullied his sister.
The eunuch hurriedly said: "The slave maid is the Yellow Gate Lingcheng Zhang Ping." β
Huangmen Lingcheng is a subordinate of Huangmen Ling, assisting Huangmen Ling in charge of the eunuchs in the palace, which is equivalent to Geng Zhong's Zhonghuangmen servant, and the official rank is 600 stones.
Zhang Ping looked at Ji Ping's cold face, and said busily: "The slave is the righteous son of Zhang Laozu." β
"Zhang Rang?" A hint of gloom flashed in Ji Ping's eyes.
Zhang Ping's body trembled, glanced at Ji Ping in astonishment, and hurriedly lowered his head.
Zhang Rang served in three dynasties, and was respected as an ancestor by the eunuchs, even Ji Ping's father, Emperor Ling, also called Zhang Rang his father, how could Zhang Ping have thought that Ji Ping would dare to call Zhang Rang's name like this.
Ji Ping snorted coldly: "You go and sue Zhang Rang, I want to take the eldest princess back to live in the North Palace, if you dare to commit another crime, you will be punished for rebellion!" β
Speaking of the back, his voice was already cold, which made several people on the side shudder.
Ji Ping was unceremonious to Zhang Rang, a eunuch who was powerful and blessed, and he was plotting against him, Emperor Ling was calling Zhang Rang his father, could he still let Ji Ping call Zhang Rang his master?
Zhang Ping answered with a pale face, and crawled out with a roll.
Ji Ping was still a little frightened when he saw Liu Han, comforted her a few words, and asked Tang Wan and Huo Xiaoyu to help her sister pack up her things together, but she and Liu Xie went out of the palace and came to the front yard of the palace.
Glancing at a well in the southeast of the courtyard, he walked over and saw the word "Zhen" engraved on the stone fence at the mouth of the well. β
It is rumored that after Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved the capital, Sun Jian found the lost heirloom jade seal in Zhen Guanjing, and later Sun Jian died, Sun Ce borrowed soldiers and horses from Yuan Shu with the heirloom jade seal, and opened up the foundation of Jiangdong.
However, Zhen Guan is an official title in this era, with Zhen Guan's order, specializing in the management and manufacture of bricks and tiles and other building materials, so Zhen Guanjing may not be the only one.
At this time, Liu Xie said behind him: "Brother Huang, I am afraid that this matter will offend Zhang Changshi, and I need to inform the Queen Mother." β
Ji Ping touched Liu Xie's head and sighed: "The eunuchs in the palace are too powerful, you and I, as royal families, are controlled by them, and we are really helpless." But their good life will not last long, you will be the emperor in the future, but you must take it as a warning, for the eunuchs around you, you must control their power, not indulge and rely on, of course, the same is true for the courtiers. β
Liu Xie's body trembled, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Brother Huang, the ministers don't dare to think about it!" β
Ji Ping was stunned for a moment, helped Liu Xie up, saw that his face was pale and frightened, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm just talking, you don't have to care." β
He knew that Dong Zhuo would abolish him in the future and set up Liu Xie as the emperor, that is, the famous Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, so he subconsciously said it, but unexpectedly scared Liu Xie.
Liu Xie's face looked a little better, and he said with a little blame: "Brother Huang is the son of heaven, you can't talk nonsense." β
Ji Ping saw his serious appearance, and he was helpless.
When I returned to the North Palace, it was almost dusk, and after reporting what I had done, I settled the princess of Wannian.
