Chapter 7 Ordered by the heavens and longevity

Ji Ping carefully took the jade seal of the country in his hand and rubbed it, and the front of the jade seal was engraved with eight seal characters: Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity.

The jade seal of the country was the Chu people Bian He who got a piece of the best treasure jade and the family bi during the Warring States Period, and then passed through Chu to Zhao, and finally the world was unified and returned to Qin. Qin Shi Huang ordered Li Si to write the eight characters of "Ordered by the Heavens, Both Longevity and Yongchang", and carved the Bi of the He family into a jade seal. In the twenty-eighth year of the first emperor, the dragon boat crossed the Dongting Lake, the wind and waves rose suddenly, the dragon boat was about to tilt, the first emperor was busy throwing the jade seal of the country into the lake, and the wind and waves were flat. Eight years later, someone in Huayin Pingshu Dao returned the jade seal to the ancestor Dragon First Emperor.

Han Gaozu Liu Bang destroyed Qin Dexi, when he ascended the throne, he wore the jade seal of the country, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the power to ask for the jade seal, the queen mother threw the jade seal to the ground, was thrown off a corner, Wang Mang ordered the craftsman to make up for it with gold. After that, the jade seal changed hands several times and fell into the hands of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and was passed down.

Liu Wei learned the Dragon Sutra early, but at that time, the jade seal of the country was still under the control of Emperor Ling, and after Emperor Ling died, the jade seal was kept by the queen. After Emperor Ling died, Liu Wei had no time to take care of it.

It was not until this moment that Ji Ping got the jade seal for the first time, and he carefully rubbed it for a long time before sitting cross-legged on the couch, holding the jade seal, and cultivating the Dragon Sutra according to the method passed down by Shi Daoren.

An hour later, he opened his eyes, looking a little dazed.

After cultivating for an hour, he didn't know if this heirloom jade seal was useful, it seemed that there was a warm current circulating in his body, but it seemed to be his own illusion.

He moved his body and felt extremely energetic, and he couldn't help but be very excited.

In any case, after meditating for an hour, I didn't feel a trace of tiredness, maybe this heirloom jade seal and the imperial dragon scripture are really useful.

As long as you continue to cultivate, you may be able to cultivate the legendary true qi and become a peerless master, and then you will be able to meet those famous generals of the Three Kingdoms for a while.

He was obscene for a while, and then began to think of a way to escape. can't escape from the palace, no matter how powerful he is, he will die again.

Since the crossing, he seems to have experienced a past life, first he was poisoned by the Ten Standing Servants, his mother defended the Ten Standing Servants, and then he learned that the scholars were centrifuged, and there was Dong Zhuo eyeing him outside the Beijing Division, which almost made him desperate.

But now, he cheered up again, no matter what, with Tang Wan's gentle companionship, the personal care of two maids, and a great strategist Xun You to consult, now the Dragon Sutra also seems to be able to cultivate, God finally didn't hack him to death.

Today, he wanted to ask Xun You how to escape, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't ask.

The Son of Heaven wanted to run away, but he was afraid that as soon as he said it, Xun You would be so frightened that he would run out of the palace without saying a word.

In fact, he knew that there was a chance to escape from the palace, although this chance was also slim.

It was now June, and more than two months later, on August 25, before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the Ten Standing Servants would fight back and kill He Jin, take him out of the palace, and flee to Xiaopingjin in the north of Luoyang.

Although he was found by his courtiers and brought into the fire pit in history, he planned it well, and he may not have a chance to escape.

He thought of Geng Zhong, and now in addition to himself, his biggest reliance may be Geng Zhong, who has always been loyal to the Son of Heaven.

After thinking about it, Ji Ping called Geng Zhong, and the two talked for most of the night, in addition to discussing the way out, he also asked about the situation of the eunuchs in the palace.

If you want to escape, you should first consider the problem of the ten permanent servants in the palace and their minions, which is a difficult situation in front of you.

The hierarchy of eunuchs in the palace is very strict, and it can be roughly divided into three ranks. The ten permanent servants are the first level, they are at the top of the eunuch group, a total of twelve people, all of whom are in the middle of the permanent servants, and they are all two thousand stones, which is not inferior to the treatment of the court and the nine kings.

Among the ten permanent servants, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong are the two who have gone through three dynasties and can be described as the ancestors of the eunuchs. However, the Ten Standing Servants are not monolithic, and there are two people who are exceptions.

The first is Guo Sheng, who opposed the killing of Empress He last night, Guo Sheng and Empress He's brothers and sisters are fellow villagers, and they have always been close to He's family, and now He Jin wants to kill the ten permanent servants, Zhang Rang and others are naturally crowding out and alienating Guo Sheng.

The second is Bi Lan, Bi Lan is a relatively low-key one of the ten permanent servants, there are not many bad deeds, and he is good at Mingchuang zào, he once made zuò out of the overturned car, took river water to sprinkle the road, alleviated the hard work of the people, and used it for farmland irrigation, which is considered a talent.

Ji Ping pondered, Guo Sheng is okay, although he is close to He Hou, but he has done too much evil, only this Bi Lan can consider wooing. Moreover, Bi Lan is also the court order, **, from the nobles to the women, he is in charge of the affairs, if he is brought over, Tang Wan's escape will be able to reduce a lot of accidents.

The eunuch is attached to the Son of Heaven, Bi Lan is cautious and low-key, he woos Bi Lan, even if he is unsuccessful, there should be no big problem.

The second level is those eunuchs with titles and a little bit of power under the ten permanent servants, including the Yellow Gate Order, the Little Yellow Gate, the Zhongguan Servant, the Yongxiang Order, the Middle Yellow Gate, etc. Geng Zhong belongs to this level, except for Geng Zhong, most of the eunuchs at this level are the minions of the ten permanent servants.

The third level is the lowest level of small eunuchs, their status is slaves, the largest number, the vast majority of them are responsible for the palace sprinkling and sweeping furnishings, tailoring and mending quilts, planting flowers and trees and other miscellaneous labor, obscurity, to the old and unable to work, then thrown out of the palace and waiting for death.

During the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants in history, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu attacked the palace and wiped out more than 2,000 eunuchs, both good and evil. Ji Ping hated this, not only indiscriminately killing innocents, but also having eunuchs in all dynasties, even if they killed all of them, they would have to be supplemented in the future, and I don't know how many people they would suffer.

Ji Ping asked Geng Zhong to strictly train the more than 100 people under his control, and wait for hibernation, while cautiously wooing some neutral or low-status eunuchs.

In the middle of the night, thunder and lightning began again, and the sound of rain on the eaves began.

Early the next morning, the rain still did not stop, Ji Ping took Geng Zhong and Huo Xiaoyu to Yong'an Palace and boarded the Yong'an waiting platform. Yong'an Waiting Platform is the highest place in the entire palace, and you can look out over the palace.

Wooing available eunuchs is the first step, and stepping on the point is the second step, he wants to see the general layout of the palace and the situation outside the palace walls, including the situation of the guards.

But the facts disappointed him, the sky was dark, the rain covered the sky, and everywhere he looked, there were continuous palaces, and he could only see Taicang and the arsenal not far north of the Yong'an Palace, where grain and weapons were stored, and the food was used in the palace, and the weapons were equipped with the Praetorian Guard.

Far beyond the palace, it is completely impossible to see.

Ji Ping sighed and was about to go down.

"陛xià! 陛xià! A black-clothed eunuch ran up panting, his voice a little angry and even more sharp.

He didn't look back, this voice was very familiar to him, it was Guo Sheng, the countryman of his mother.

"! How dare you take Your Majesty to the heights without permission, and bring disaster to the country and the people! Don't go to Yongxiang to die! As soon as Guo Sheng came up, he scolded Geng Zhong and Huo Xiaoyu behind Ji Ping.

Yongxiang is a prison in the palace dedicated to dealing with palace maids, which is controlled by eunuchs, and once the palace maids enter, the end is extremely miserable.

Geng Zhong's face was expressionless, but Huo Xiaoyu was pale, biting his lip tightly, and looking at Ji Ping for help.

The status of the ten permanent servants in the palace is almost unshakable, and their words can decide the life and death of the little eunuch and the palace maid. And when Emperor Ling is there, he will not protect any palace maids, and most of their life and death are the words of the ten permanent servants.

Ji Ping felt Huo Xiaoyu's fright, frowned, didn't look back, and snorted: "What are you shouting about, I brought them up, do you want me to follow you to Yongxiang?" ”

Huo Xiaoyu, who was frightened on the side, couldn't help but want to laugh, and hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Your Majesty......" Guo Shengsheng's angry expression froze, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The minister doesn't dare, it's just that His Majesty... If the Son of Heaven does not ascend, the people will be scattered, which is not good for the country, and the ministers are also worried about His Majesty's society! ”

Speaking of this, Guo Sheng was sobbing and worried, as if he was really worried about the Han Dynasty and the people of the world.

"Whew!" Ji Ping sneered, Guo Sheng heard the disdain in the laughter, his face froze, and he looked up at him in amazement.

Ji Ping turned his head, a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Guo Sheng, until he saw that he was a little uncomfortable, and then said lightly: "Guo Changshi, don't talk to me about the Son of Heaven who does not ascend, I am different from the first emperor, I grew up outside the palace since I was a child, and I haven't seen those over-controlled pavilions in your house." ”

The Ten Standing Servants were tyrannical and tyrannical, imitating the imperial palace to build a mansion in Luoyang City, and the regulations were higher than the imperial palace, which was transgressive and excessive, and the punishment was very severe. In the first year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling wanted to climb the Yong'an waiting platform to look far away, and the ten permanent servants were afraid that Emperor Ling would ascend and see their mansion, so he admonished Emperor Ling, saying that the Son of Heaven should not ascend, and the people would be scattered if he ascended. The Spirit Emperor never ascended the platform again.

"Your Majesty ......" Guo Sheng didn't expect this young man to speak so directly, sneering and sarcastic, and for a while the expression on his old face was strange, and he was a little overwhelmed and sobbed.

"Go down, and I'll go see the Queen Mother." Ji Ping took Huo Xiaoyu's hand on the side and walked to the steps.

Huo Xiaoyu hurriedly took advantage of the situation to support Ji Ping, her hands were extremely cold, still trembling slightly, obviously this little girl was also frightened just now.

Guo Sheng hesitated, hurriedly caught up with Huo Xiaoyu and supported Ji Ping left and right.

In the past, Guo Sheng relied on himself as one of the ten permanent servants, and he had the merit of supporting, so he would not have done this. But at this moment, he was a little flustered in his heart.

In his impression, it is even said that in the eyes of the Ten Standing Servants and Emperor Ling, Liu Wei is a little cowardly, he grew up outside the palace since he was a child, and he doesn't know much about etiquette, in the words of Emperor Ling, he is frivolous and has no prestige of the Son of Heaven.

Although Guo Sheng was close to Empress He, he didn't think much of the new emperor Liu Wei, but at this moment, he felt that the new emperor was completely different, and there was no cowardice in his eyes at all.

And the Son of Heaven only said one word, and then didn't pay attention to him, unlike the Spirit Emperor's joy and anger, the new emperor's knowledge and silence made him feel even more inexplicably frightened in his heart.
