Chapter 247: Zhao Gonggong drew the knife into a fast, and Uncle Zheng saw a beautiful woman in the snow
Zhao Cheng became a eunuch.
In his narration, he finds Her Royal Highness the Princess in a cowshed and then rescues Her Royal Highness from the city.
As for Her Royal Highness the princess in the cowshed and the days before her disappearance, Zhao Cheng didn't know.
If you don't know, you don't know.
Uncle Zheng once asked Fan Zhengwen,
said that if Her Royal Highness the princess was sent back, which way, which excuse and which arrangement would be used.
For example, if the water is brought to the east or something, it can be led to the Qianguo Silver Armor Guard, and it can also be led to the Tian family Yunyun who wanted to pit the Fan family before.
After all, no matter what, you have to do things from the beginning to the end, so that the people in Fengchao can't find any mistakes.
But Fan Zhengwen's answer,
Very simple
A total of five words, the first two words are still nonsense:
"Uncle, you don't need it."
Zheng Fan was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly smiled.
yes
No, you don't.
Because Xiong Lijing is a princess, she is the sister of the regent of Great Chu, and it is no surprise that she will be the only sister of the future Emperor of Great Chu;
At the same time, she will also be the wife of Qu's eldest son and the future mother of Qu's mother-in-law.
When she returned,
As long as she's not hurt and she's still in good shape,
so
She will still be her.
She is not a suspect, she is not a person who can be interrogated, and when she stands on the phoenix platform again and puts on her phoenix, she will immediately change back to the original high her.
Just say something like, "I forgot." ”
No one dared to break the casserole and ask to the end, and neither did the person in charge of the phoenix nest.
"It's a terrible memory of mine, I don't want to go through it again, I don't want to remember it anymore, just let it pass."
This reason, even if the regent personally comes to ask her about this matter in the future, she can directly use it to prevaricate.
And in Da Chu, no one dared to force her anymore if she couldn't even ask a question from the regent.
thing
It's actually quite simple.
The reason why Uncle Zheng has this concern is that one is because the blind man is not there, and there is no strategist who can think from the subtle and the overall situation by his side, and it is inevitable that he will sometimes go a little bit;
Second, most of the time since his rebirth has been either fighting or on the way to war, his position is rising step by step, his military achievements are constantly accumulating, and his title has risen, but his mother is really fighting farther and farther, and he is getting farther and farther away from the court.
Lacking the baptism of the political whirlpool, lacking the real environment for being a superior, and believing too much in the truth of "power comes out of the barrel of a gun",
It is normal for Uncle Zheng to lack the perspective and habits of some superiors to see things.
Fan Zhengwen was right, if the princess wanted to hide something about the Fan family and Zheng Fan, no one could ask from her.
And if the princess is not willing to hide,
hehe
Then even if you arrange the scene finely, no matter how well the disaster drains, it will not make the slightest sense.
So
Yes, you really don't need to.
Outside Zhennan Pass, the Jingnan Marquis of the Yan people was eyeing the tiger, and the front line had just suffered a defeat, but the marriage could not be delayed.
It is precisely because the clearer the external pressure is, the more necessary it is for the regent to unite with the Qu clan as soon as possible.
Originally, someone would come to ask about Zhao Cheng's details, but when Zhao Cheng castrated himself, recuperated for a week, got out of bed, and changed into a eunuch uniform, no one dared to ask him about Xiayong City.
When I was just castrated, I couldn't get out of bed, so I could only rely on my sister to change the dressing, layer after layer, thick and thick, cool and itchy.
When I can get out of bed, every time I go to the toilet, it will sting, and it will not be clean, and it will stick to my pants.
But it didn't take long for him to get used to it, and at the same time, he was also used to being called "Zhao Gonggong" by others.
He doesn't regret that he castrated himself, his descendants are very important, but not as important as his own life, this boy who was abducted and escaped from living on the street and can still organize a beggar gang has a sensitivity and intuition beyond ordinary people.
He knew that when the princess asked him what reward he wanted, if he didn't castrate himself, then there was only a dead end for him and his sister.
It is often said that in the eyes of the big guys, human life is like a mustard;
But Zhao Cheng knows that when ordinary people see beggars freezing to death on the street, they are like looking at a grass on the side of the road.
Anyway, he survived, he knew that there were many people around the princess who looked at him strangely, and felt that he would do anything to climb up, but he didn't care about their eyes, Zhao Cheng didn't know the word "self-esteem", but even if he knew, he would feel that it was really worth exchanging his life with self-esteem.
Originally, a group of old people around the princess were gone, because after the princess had an accident, they were all arrested and imprisoned, and I don't know if she died or not, but it is definitely impossible to come back to serve the princess.
The Yingdu Palace sent another team, including the grandmother in the palace, the guards, and the father-in-law.
The original leader of the new housekeeper was surnamed Sun, and the princess let Zhao Cheng recognize Grandpa Sun as a godfather, and in front of the princess, Grandpa Sun took the tea offered by Zhao Cheng.
It can be said that Zhao Cheng's road to eunuch has already taken the road, and in half a month, he has completed the road that others may not be able to complete for ten years.
On weekdays, Grandpa Sun is responsible for the affairs of the royal palace, and Zhao Cheng is responsible for managing the affairs of the courtyard where the princess is located.
Zhao Cheng had mixed the rivers and lakes before, pulled gangs, and was also accepted by the intelligence yamen of many countries as a downline, and his ability and skills were not lacking, and he soon managed dozens of eunuchs and palace maids in the small courtyard in an orderly manner.
And then
someday
Zhao Cheng saw that the eldest lady of the Mi family was coming.
The eldest lady had one of her arms broken, and she was limping when she walked, and she entered the hospital with red eyes.
At that time, the princess was having dinner, and Zhao Cheng was waiting beside her.
The princess took the handkerchief from his hand with a calm face, wiped the corners of her mouth gently, and then got up, picked up the plate on the table, and threw it directly towards the door.
The plate shattered to the ground,
The princess began to scream very calmly:
"Get out, you get out of here, get out!"
yes
It's calm.
After calling,
The princess sat down calmly again, took her teacup, took a sip of tea, and moistened her throat.
The eldest lady of the Mi family was unable to enter the house because of this, and left in despair.
Two days later, Zhao Cheng heard that the eldest lady of the Mi family hanged herself at home.
Zhao Cheng knew that when the princess disappeared, she was with the eldest lady of the Mi family.
Smashing plates, screaming, the princess's series of actions are enough to make people think about it, and those phoenix nest fans who have not been able to dig up anything from the princess are likely to smell unusual because of this incident.
Or, it could be seen as a hint.
But the Mi family is the home of the current household department, and the head of the Mi family is also a close confidant of the regent, and it is not easy to check, the death of the eldest lady of the Mi family is a kind of ......... Compromise.
Zhao Cheng didn't understand the relationship between the court and the court, but he knew that the truth of the matter was definitely not the case.
Who is that man, the man who once asked the princess to take the initiative to throw herself into his arms?
At the end of the day,
It was this man who made him lose that job;
But Zhao Cheng didn't dare to ask about this person in front of the princess, and even in his heart, he didn't dare to hate him;
A man who can hold the princess like a little peasant girl at will,
Don't dare to think, dare not think, and dare not provoke.
……
The day before, Qu Peiluo came.
This is the first time Zhao Cheng has seen this young master of the Qu family, he has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he can be called a handsome man.
Qu Peiluo brought a lot of gifts and New Year's goods, and generously distributed them to the other garden, although he was not yet married, but the people who were originally serving the princess in the other garden were already shouting about the concubine Fukang.
In the end, Qu Peiluo did not come to see the princess, because according to the etiquette law, the husband and wife were not allowed to see each other before they got married.
The Chu people respect the ancients, believing that if they do not respect the ancient law, they will bring bad luck to themselves.
It can be seen that Qu Peiluo really wanted to meet the princess, and also signaled Zhao Cheng to report, Zhao Cheng came back to report to Qu Peiluo, and said that the princess said:
If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight?
Poetry is good poetry.
Timeless and catchy, it is evocative.
Although there were regrets, Qu Peiluo still left with a smile, although he didn't know what happened when the princess disappeared before, but he had already confirmed that the princess was uninjured and that she was also in a complete body, these two things are enough;
And the talent shown by the princess can be regarded as an unexpected joy of this political marriage.
Qu Peiluo is gone,
But most of the soldiers and horses he brought remained, and the inside and outside of the royal palace were wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, which can be described as heavily defended.
Zhao Cheng returned to the princess and said that Qu Peiluo had left.
It's just that Zhao Cheng didn't add oil and vinegar to say anything else, because he saw that the princess was staring at the words she had written herself, which were the two lines of poetry that he had conveyed to Qu Peiluo before.
It was written by the princess, but Zhao Cheng felt that it should not be written by the princess.
……
It's the New Year;
On the day of the New Year, a very bad news came, that is, the Xue Rangbu of Zhennan Pass mutinied, if it were not for General Nian Yao's decisive action and timely let the forbidden army of the Great Chu Imperial Family enter Zhennan Pass and take over the city wall to quell the riots, the Yan people are likely to take this opportunity to enter Zhennan Pass.
On this day, Zhao Cheng found that the Qingluan army outside the royal palace had undergone a large-scale change of defense, and the soldiers and horses that originally looked to be in clear armor were pulled out to the north in batches, and then, a team of private soldiers began to replace the previous Qingluan army's defense area.
According to Gonggong Sun, it was because of the increasing pressure from the Yan people in the war in the north that the Qingluan army of the Qu family had to go north again, and the new ones were the local auxiliaries of the Qu family and the private soldiers of the slave families under the command of the Qu family.
At the same time, a group of Qu worshippers lived in the periphery of the small courtyard, and these offerings exuded the breath of the living, Zhao Cheng mixed the rivers and lakes, knowing that this group of people was really strong.
Resting in the rivers and lakes, they are all characters who can make a name.
Therefore, at this time, the defense of the royal annex should be looser on the outside and tighter on the inside.
This is also natural, even if there are thieves, it is unlikely that they will mobilize a large army to attack here, if there are small groups of thieves, it is difficult to say that it is difficult to infiltrate, even if they infiltrate, with the strength of these Qu clan worships on the periphery of the small courtyard, they will not be able to hurt the princess in the slightest.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the princess sent a reward, and all the eunuchs and palace maids in the small courtyard stood at the door of the princess's dormitory early, and when the princess came out, she stepped forward one by one to say an auspicious word, and then took the red envelope from Zhao Cheng's hand.
Subsequently, the princess returned to the dormitory to continue to rest, while Zhao Cheng stayed behind to collect dividends and filial piety alone.
The red envelopes that were sent in front of the princess had to be drawn out and handed over to him.
The big guy is willing, this is the customary rule in the palace, the master's reward is for you, but you don't want to eat alone.
After receiving everyone's filial piety, Zhao Cheng went to the outer courtyard to find Grandpa Sun non-stop, and Grandpa Sun had just greeted those guards before coming back.
Zhao Cheng put a bag of silver money in front of his father-in-law;
"Godfather, it's yours."
Immediately, Zhao Cheng took out another ingot of silver and put it aside, pushed it over, and said, "This is my son's share." ”
Grandpa Sun squinted his eyes, seemed to be smiling, and said:
"Isn't it the right number?"
Zhao Cheng immediately knelt down and pointed his finger at the Heavenly Dao:
"So that the godfather knows that this is just received, and the son does not dare to hide it in the slightest."
Although he has not been a eunuch for a long time, Zhao Cheng is a clear person, he knows that what he has to do now is to do things in accordance with the rules in a down-to-earth manner, and it is impossible for him to be confused at this time before he can collect money and reap benefits.
Grandpa Sun smiled and said, "The miscellaneous family is not saying less, but saying more." ”
As he spoke, Gonggong Sun stretched out his hand and pushed the bag of silver out, and then received the ingot of silver that Zhao Cheng had taken out by himself before.
"What do you mean by that, godfather?"
"What do you mean? That's what it means, the eunuchs and palace ladies in the palace have a hard time, they have to save some money for themselves, and when they are old and decrepit, they can also prepare a few acres of thin fields to raise the old for themselves.
So, do you know why they are so happy when they share the money? ”
"I hope my godfather will teach me."
"Alas, doing things beside nobles, even if you are cautious, you will inevitably make a mistake, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you really don't make mistakes, but what if you happen to meet a noble person who is in a bad mood one day and has to find you a mistake?
This silver, said to be filial piety, but in fact is to buy life money, given out, not given in vain, received the filial piety of others, and when people make mistakes in the future, you have to help him dot, you have to help say good things in front of nobles.
Heavy punishment becomes light punishment, death becomes heavy punishment, it is really an unforgivable crime, and you have to help his family.
In this world, there is no silver in vain;
I heard that you saved the princess, and the princess also handed over the affairs of the inner courtyard to you, so you can speak in front of the princess, and you can have the face to sell favors.
The silver of the people in the inner courtyard is naturally collected by you, and in the future, this favor will naturally have to be sold by you;
I'm a thing, even if I've been in the palace before, and I've never served the princess, so I'm not qualified to receive this money. ”
Gonggong Sun held up the silver ingot that Zhao Cheng gave out alone, and said:
"As for this, you call me a godfather, just when you are a son, I should accept the filial piety you give me, the miscellaneous family is in the palace, in fact, I have never mixed up with any person, but I have survived the generation, you follow me, at least you will not suffer in the future in the future.
The miscellaneous family received your filial piety, according to the rules, and when you are promoted in the future, the miscellaneous family will buy a suit for you, and when you find the right food, although the palace maid does not enjoy the bride price of the people outside, but after all, you have to buy some jewelry, and the miscellaneous family also has to get half.
This money can be collected clearly and steadily;
If it's mine, I want it, and if it's not mine, I don't want it.
Little thief, remember, when you do things by the master's side in the future, and you have a large group of people under your hands, you have to do this;
When you let the people below honor you, you do it willingly, not gnashing your teeth behind your back.
Silver is silver, and human favor is human favor;
But since ancient times,
The silver trembles when it leaves human affection,
Favors can't stand without silver. ”
When Zhao Cheng heard this, he immediately kowtowed three times in a row, and knocked Bangbangbang,
Honest Voice:
"Thank you godfather for teaching, my son has been taught!"
Gonggong Sun stretched out his hand to help Zhao Cheng up, and said earnestly:
"Your godfather and I came here from the palace, which can be regarded as a distribution, but you still have the opportunity to go to the palace in the future, do things well, and be a good person;
We're all rootless people,
But the more we have to fight for this breath, we have to live as individuals. ”
"Yes, godfather."
"Silver, put me here first, you run around with your arms, it doesn't look like a look, I'll send it back to you in the evening, by the way, the Fan family jade store sent a pair of jade cabbage, you go over there to find two people to bring it over, send it to the princess, jade can rest assured."
"Yes, my son knows, and my son will go."
Zhao Cheng got up, and went out after announcing his resignation to Sun Gong.
Out of the inner courtyard, and then through the outer courtyard, it is considered to enter the middle area of the royal garden, the outer circle is a circle of soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and the middle circle is dominated by the Fan family, and the craftsmen of various commercial houses are arranging furnishings, in order to make the wedding on the day of the Lantern Festival prosperous and exquisite.
There is no way, who called the wedding of the sixth prince of the Yan Kingdom, which invisibly increased the demand and specifications of the royal weddings of other countries.
"Where's the emerald cabbage?"
Zhao Cheng asked a Fan family steward.
"If you go back to your father-in-law, you can get in that carriage."
When Zhao Cheng heard this, he couldn't bear it, so he walked over directly, only to see that there were seven or eight Fan Mansion guards around the carriage, which was enough to show the preciousness of this pair of jade cabbage!
"Let the miscellaneous family take a look first."
Before becoming a father-in-law, Zhao Chengcheng was the master of greed for money, but this kind of really rare object, let alone having it, is difficult to even look at.
Today, firstly, it was what Grandpa Sun said to him, which made him very interested;
Second, he is still a teenager after all, and his young heart is still there.
So
Zhao Cheng didn't use anyone to support him,
Flipping directly into the carriage, the curtain was lifted, and the light from the outside came in, and the two jade cabbages inside immediately reflected an intoxicating luster.
But Zhao Cheng was not drunk,
And not only not drunk,
It almost scared him that the work under his crotch was almost about to stand up again!
"I ........."
Zhao Cheng pointed to the man sitting between the two jade cabbages, his mouth wide open, and his face was shocked.
And the man just stretched out an index finger,
Put it on your lips,
"Shh
