Chapter 015. Emperor Dayin

The wind was blowing, and the snowflakes were like blades flying quickly, flying down from the dark clouds. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info like their respective hearts are intertwined, so that the snowflakes gather in clusters.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the clouds were condensing, and the darkness was overwhelming, suppressing any gaze at the sky.

The dim light struggled at the edge of the clouds, only to fretting the thick clouds with a golden edge.

And what covers the earth is still shrouded. What covers everything is still covering. And in the midst of the snowstorm, the darkness that is hidden...

Zhongjing, Inner City, Forbidden City.

A soybean-sized flame was ignited, and the thin hand led the glass lamp in the study, and the dark room suddenly lit up.

The old man in the dark golden brocade robe slowly put away the fire in his hand, carefully blew it out and put it back into the cuffs, looked at the glass cup that drove the darkness away, and nodded with a satisfied smile on his very kind face.

It's like doing something beautiful and commendable. But for this old man, who was obviously in his twilight years, this was already something that made him happy.

This shows that he is not old enough to make things unmanageable.

The old man carefully took out a piece of oil fire paper and lit a few beeswax fire pillars in the corners, making the room a little brighter, and it was extremely conspicuous in the darkness outside the house.

With the last burning of the oil and fire paper, the old man walked a few steps briskly to the corner of the wall, lifted the lid of the three cranes, threw it in, and in less than five breaths, a fresh and elegant fragrance was leisurely, which made people feel refreshed.

The incense burner is filled with refreshing spices, which can keep people's spirits from being sleepy and without hurting the brain. The country of the Southern Barbarians paid tribute, which was worth a thousand gold inches.

The study is large, but slightly cramped. Several rows of huge bookcases are lined up, and in the spaces inside, a large number of bamboo slips, leather scrolls, scrolls, or paper books are placed.

After a while, a person slowly walked into the study, followed by two rows of little eunuchs in Chinese clothes respectfully. The front two put away the Huang Luo umbrella covers to protect them from the wind and rain, and stood on both sides of the door. And the two rows of eunuchs also stood on the two walls in an orderly manner.

"Long live the emperor."

The old man who was standing in the study walked over quickly, with humility on his old face, and just bowed respectfully. In Dayin, no one dares to be unscrupulously called the emperor by others, except for the Ninety-Five Supreme in the palace.

What's more, in addition to the fact that the countries of the Quartet and the royal family of Da Yin can use eunuchs as servants, who can use the eunuchs after purification? In this great law, it is indiscriminate and directly copied all over the door.

"Well, no need to be polite."

The well-proportioned arms drove the wide sleeves of the red and yellow big coat to wave, and as the amplitude increased, the gold silk embroidered dragon pattern loomed on the cuffs. Looking at the eunuchs standing around, he waved his hand without looking back: "Except for Wang De, everyone else goes out." ”

Just as orderly as when entering the room, more than a dozen little eunuchs immediately retreated respectfully, quickly and without making much sound, even the slight rustle of footsteps rubbing against the ground was covered by the wind and snow howling outside the window.

"The emperor left an old slave, I don't know what happened..."

The old man is a eunuch called Wang De, a great eunuch with great power, even if he is a feudal official who controls one side, he must be polite. But in front of Emperor Dayin, who is the supreme emperor in the world, he is as cautious as a quail.

The eunuchs in the world are all the personal servants of the emperor alone, and even the eunuchs who are rewarded and served by the kings are directly managed and transferred by the palace. It can be said that the emperor's words are the words of life and death of this group of eunuchs.

Yin Changge had worked this world because of the crossing, and he couldn't help but be full of admiration for this eunuch system. There are powerful masters in this world, and there are also elite armies, and the combination of quantity and quality of force is very much suppressing the eunuch class, so that they can hardly do any harm to the imperial power!

Moreover, the great Yin Taizu, who is eloquent and has killed countless people in his life, has already set up a huge bronze tablet three meters square on the right side of the main entrance of the palace, with several big characters like a silver snake soaring on it: Eunuchs interfere in politics, hammer kill!

On one side of this huge bronze monument, there is a small pavilion, and nine bronze figures stand in a row, as if arching and guarding the small pavilion. It can be vaguely seen that a golden gourd hammer is enshrined inside.

Taizu's Sacred Message: Those who enter the pavilion and take the hammer can crisscross the inner palace and have the right to kill eunuchs!

In the Great Yin Dynasty, even if he was a high-ranking eunuch who was a great eunuch, he did not dare to interfere in political affairs easily, even if the emperor sent him to supervise a certain place or someone, he was cautious and did not dare to let people get the handle.

Because this is also due to the fact that the Great Yin Dynasty has never had a eunuch to manipulate power since the founding of the country, and the ministers have no style of forming a party, the political affairs of the world are clear, the emperor is eloquent, and the officials and generals are all careless, and for the supervision of eunuchs, it is also combined with the experience and summary of the previous dynasty and the previous generation, which is very strict!

Even if Wang De, as a powerful eunuch for a while, has served Yin Shizun for decades, he doesn't dare to have the slightest idea. Because it is not only the strength of the Great Yin Dynasty, even if it is Yin Shizun, who is the son of today, his military strength is also good!

Wang De's old face still had a kind smile on his face, and even when he saw the gloomy color between Yin Shizun's eyebrows, he didn't change the slightest, but diligently brought a tea cup on the table on one side.

Yin Shizun bowed slightly, his fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, and he didn't speak, as if he was thinking deeply about something. Wang De also stood quietly on one side, just like those low-level eunuchs, respectful and quiet, cautious everywhere.

Suddenly, the room fell silent. Although there is no one, anyone who comes in will find that there is something wrong with this strange atmosphere.

"Wang De..."

Halfway, Yin Shizun raised his head, and there was a slight look of exhaustion between his eyebrows. Looking at the tea cup on the table, he stretched out his hand and picked it up, watching the heat in it floating, he didn't drink it, he just looked at the opening and asked, "You have followed me for more than 30 years, right?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the old slave has been following the emperor for thirty-six years and three months."

As a great eunuch, Wang De is not at all like a powerful eunuch, but he is still like the little eunuch who entered the palace for the first time, cautious and hazy.

Shelf? In Wang De's opinion, it is just a hypocritical joke. Whether it is identity, status or money, it is all given by the emperor, and the eunuch is the emperor's private slave, putting on a shelf? That's just making yourself uncomfortable...

Moreover, the five great eunuchs of the inner court, now there is only one Wang De left, although it is related to serving the emperor when he was a child, but prudence and caution are the main reasons why Wang De can be safe and stable until now!

And the other four great eunuchs who were also unparalleled in power and could even interfere with the judgment of foreign dynasties, I don't know where a layer of linen was buried in the mass grave at this time!

"Thirty-six years..."

Yin Shizun stroked the cuffs, the golden dragon was embroidered on them, and the fine silk cloth was like water even if it was slashed by the fingertips. He was a little embarrassed, and sighed: "Since I was a child, you have followed me loyally..."

Wang De's body trembled, and the kind smile on his face was a little reluctant. Looking at the emperor of the world, Yin Shizun, the Ninety-Five Supreme, a tremor suddenly welled up in his heart, which made his heart extremely panic.

After serving the emperor for so many years, of course he understands all kinds of royal taboos, and usually the emperor will not talk to him like this. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, slowly flowing down the furrows on his old face, dripping on the noble inner court official uniform, which was also made of silk.

Because he already knew that he had committed a royal taboo that would leave him dead without a place to be buried! A taboo that cannot be forgiven! It's just that the authorities are confused, and now that they are out of the game, he now understands...

Wang De didn't answer, but bent his waist even more, and stood respectfully on Yin Shizun's side, but he didn't dare to wipe the cold sweat on his face... Because it's a little late to get out of this game.

"Alas, you've been by my side since you were a child, and now you're old..."

Yin Shizun looked at Wang De, whose legs were trembling a little, and the color of his hair was all white in his eyes, and he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. Thinking that even if he was not the prince back then, he was alone, and he was only followed by five little eunuchs, but now there is only one old man left by his side, which makes him embarrassed.

"Old... Old slave..."

Wang De opened his mouth, and the cold sweat on his forehead became more and more. Looking at Yin Shizun's frowning brows, he found that the meaning he could understand was completely incomprehensible... But he didn't dare to figure it out, just stood aside, and his old face was full of old age.

"Today, someone in the court came to the table and said that the matter of the country should be cautious."

Yin Shizun suddenly changed the topic, glanced at Wang De, who was panicked on the side, and closed his eyes slightly. The spices in the corner of the wall burned green smoke, filling the whole study with a warm aroma. He took a breath lightly and said lightly: "The excerpt says that the country should be the foundation of the country for all generations, and I feel it deeply. ”

Before the words fell, Wang De's knees suddenly weakened, and he fell to the ground, just lying on his stomach, trembling and not daring to make any other movements. His forehead was clinging to the fine floor tiles, and the cold sweat like rain was wet.

The big eunuch in front of him was already very scared. Because he knew that Yin Shizun, who had served for more than 30 years, the Ninety-Five Supreme of Great Yin, began to talk about the truth. He also knew that after reasoning, it would be a monstrous rage.

He stood trembling on his knees, not daring to move in the slightest!

"Hey, Kunimoto? Kunimoto? Kunimoto? ”

Fingers gently knocked on the desktop of the golden silk jujube wood, and the echo of dangdang echoed back and forth in this study, Yin Shizun's face was flat, but there was a little excitement in his eyes, and the sound of knocking on the desktop was also louder, which made Wang De, who was not far away, even more frightened: "How can I not know the national capital?" How could I not know Kunimoto?! ”

Yin Shizun didn't look at Wang De, even if he knew that he was kneeling on the ground, he didn't say anything, he just said and thought to himself, as if it was the same as before, because this most intimate eunuch talked about the things in his heart.

It's like before, it's the same. But Wang De was already kneeling on the ground and could no longer speak.

"There are five states in the world, Zhongjing sits in the Dragon Court, and the rest of the states have nobles and marquises."

Yin Shizun picked up the teacup, took a sip, squinted his eyes and pondered in the tea mist, as if he was savoring the taste of the rap: "I have five dragon sons, although the prince has been established, but each of them has won my heart..."

"But the five states in the world are still mine!"

With a complicated smile on the corner of his mouth, Yin Shizun's right hand suddenly clenched the tea cup, and his fingers made a "gurgling" sound: "Now I am the lord of this world, and I have not yet reached the age of abdication and retreat, and I will not become the emperor, this world, now I am sitting!" ”

Yin Shizun's voice suddenly became high and deep, looking at the dim wind and snow outside the window, he shouted with anger: "I am now the lord of the five states of the world!" I am now the lord of the Great Yin Dynasty! I am now the lord of the Yin royal family! I sit in this world, and there are still more than ten years before I become the emperor! ”

"This time, you really disappointed me with what you did with Changge!"

Yin Shizun turned his head suddenly, and finally looked at Wang De, who was completely paralyzed on the side, waved his sleeves and said coldly: "Don't think that you can get carried away after serving me for decades!" His face was grim, but looking at the white-haired appearance, he still took a few breaths, drank the teacup and put it on the table in one gulp, waved his wide robe fiercely, and said, "After today, you will go to guard the imperial tomb!" ”

"Old... The old slave bowed and thanked God..."

An old face was already full of tears, Wang De just said in a trembling voice, and the body that was paralyzed on the ground slowly moved back. But at least he breathed a sigh of relief, because at least one life was left, and not a miserable death like the other four great eunuchs...

When Wang De climbed out of the door, there was silence in the study. Yin Shizun sat quietly on the chair and looked into the depths of the study, where a picture scroll of a young woman looking back and smiling was hanging.

"Long song... Long song... Life is like a long song, and it is an endless sadness and hatred..."

Yin Shizun brought a wry smile on his lips, looking at the picture scroll, his eyes were full of tenderness, but his mouth seemed to have a lot of thoughts, so he had to whisper: "I can only do this, after the Lantern Festival, he will be officially sixteen years old... I chose him... Do you regret it? Or you don't regret it, but I just want to make up for it... Even a little bit..."

closed his eyes, and it took a long time to open them, but the sadness in Yin Shizun's eyes was gone, and instead of it, it was the kind of domineering royal road that belonged to the emperor. Bowing his head slightly, Yin Shizun was silent for a moment in the empty study, and after a while, he took a long breath and said lightly: "Lantern Festival, the queen of martial arts." ”

"Good."

Yin Shizun stood quietly in the study, just bowing his head, even if the study was empty. But an old sigh finally came, inaudible, but it was a promise for him. Turning her head to look at the flower scroll at the end of the study, the young woman was still smiling happily, as if everything had nothing to do with her, pure as a mountain elf, but unfortunately it was just a picture scroll, a dead thing.
