Ah Tie'er judged that Liu Jin had regarded Taiye as an opponent, and it would be reasonable to say that Liu Jin was the mastermind of this matter.
In the imperial city of Kyoto, a corner of the imperial palace, south of the supervisor, a small courtyard, here is Liu Jin's hometown, where the inner factory created by one-handedly.
…………
This inner factory is personally controlled by Liu Jin, which is above the emperor Yiwei.
The emperor has a chief manager known as the Five Lions, all of whom are headed by Liu Jin.
…………
In the early years, after Liu Jin gained power, the five lions were all in their own positions. Only Na Qiping, who suddenly ascended to the throne of the admiral eunuch of the inner factory, had no one in his eyes, and disobeyed Liu Jin's order.
didn't want Liu Jin to take the thunderous momentum, and in the capacity of the eunuch of the commander and the eunuch of the palm seal, he directly transferred Qi Ping to the border of Xisai and changed Mi Yi to the eunuch of the inner factory.
The five lions were frightened and did not dare to confront Liu Jin openly.
…………
On this day, the Five Lions Conference was held.
Several chief managers, all surrounded by their own subordinate guards, came to the gate of the inner factory.
A thin eunuch walked slowly from afar, and saw an old eunuch in the north, supported by three or five eunuchs, slowly waking up.
The thin eunuch took two quick steps and shouted: "Ouch, my father, why did you come here this early in the morning?" On the one hand, he said that the thin eunuch had come to the old eunuch's side, and after pushing away the little eunuch, he actually helped the old eunuch himself.
"Oh, one! This time you are the protagonist, I heard Liu Gong say that he is very agreeable to you, it is estimated that he will reward you again, and the old body will be happy! ”
It turned out that this thin eunuch was Mi Yi, and this old eunuch was He Wu, the eunuch of Si Xiu Bingbi, who was old and was honored as my father, and the two walked slowly towards the gate of the inner factory.
"What kind of protagonist, just doing things for Gong Liu!" Between Mi's eyebrows and eyes, he couldn't hide his joy, leaned over, supported the old eunuch, and pretended to be disdainful.
"Heh, this time the master is in trouble, if you don't deal with it decisively, Liu Gong will be fine, and he will have to be slightly damaged!" The old eunuch squinted his eyes, his hand like a dead branch, and patted the hand lightly.
Mi Yi was slapped by the old eunuch, and he couldn't help but smile all his faces, and squeezed together: "Everyone is working together, under the leadership of Liu Gong, to serve His Majesty, regardless of each other!"
"Wonderful people don't distinguish each other!" Far away, a eunuch wearing eunuch clothes and armor on the outside, actually strode towards the gate of the inner factory, and between his demeanor, his style was self-reliant, as if he was not a eunuch.
Mi and the two people could hear the voices of the people, they all turned around, looked at the people, the middle-aged eunuch came to the two of them after a short time, and gave a deep show: "Zhou Yuan has seen my father, your old man has been fine recently!"
"Heh, Zhou Yuan! So it doesn't have to be so polite! The old eunuch waved his hand and said, "Look at this Gu Pan, he is majestic, and when he sees strangers, he thinks he is a great general!" ”
It turned out that this person was Zhou Yuan, one of the five lions, and when he heard this, his face darkened, and he was shocked: "Heh, I've said it, let's go in quickly!" Today is the call of Duke Liu, and if it is late, I am afraid that he will not be happy! ”
"Yes! Let's go inside! The old eunuch heard Zhou Yuan like this, nodded his head, and the three of them walked to the inner factory together.
The inner factory covers an area of not large, less than 40 acres, but the pavilions and corridors inside are straight and repeated.
The three of them traveled all the way, either bright or dark, and there were some fans of the inner factory watching.
It's just that the status of the three people is only under Liu Jin, and there is nothing to block the way without opening the eyes.
However, there are constantly fans who come out and bow down to guide the three of them.
After a short time, the three of them folded and came to a small hall.
…………
There is also a thin old man in black, holding a bamboo stick, lying on the side of the door, sleepy.
"Waste the old man, Liu Gongke is inside!" Among the three, only Mi Yi's status was slightly lower, he didn't mind at all, and came directly to the old man, whispering.
Hearing this, the old man opened his cloudy eyes, glanced at Mi Yi, didn't say anything, directly took the bamboo stick and pointed to the hall, turned over, and continued to sleep.
Seeing that he ignored himself, and did not move at all, Mi turned around directly, continued to support the smiling old eunuch, and the three of them walked into the hall together.
The hall occupies a small area, and when you enter, you are greeted by a chair with four chairs placed on either side, and there is nothing else.
At the end of the four seats, there sat a respectful eunuch, sitting upright.
The eunuch heard the sound at the door, opened his eyes, and saw the three people of Mi, stood up, and made a gesture to the old eunuch: "Qi Ping has seen my father!" This person turned out to be Qi Ping, the former governor and eunuch of the inner factory who offended Liu Jin and was relegated to the border of Xisai.
I saw that the old eunuch who was called my father raised his eyes and glanced at Qi Ping when he heard this, and was surprised: "Huh? Zipping, isn't it in Cisse? How did you get back? ”
Qi Ping didn't have time to answer, when he heard a pleasant voice sound: "It was Liu who brought him back!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw that on the seat in the middle, I don't know when, there was a eunuch wearing a robe and jade belt, this eunuch had a white face and no beard, like a Confucian who read poetry and books, and wasn't it Liu Jin!
When the four eunuchs saw Liu Jin's sudden appearance, they all put down the others and bowed straight to the court: "I've seen Liu Gong!"
Liu Jin waved his hand lightly.
Agreed: "We are called the Five Lions, we are brothers, we do not distinguish each other, why bother!"
Although this is the case, between Liu Jin's eyebrows, he took the initiative to show these four people, and he was very agreeable.
The four of them naturally knew each other, and said a few polite words.
…………
After everyone sat down, Liu Jin raised his hand to the old eunuch: "My father, there are many affairs for the supervisor, and it is too much work!"
"Gong Liu is polite!" The old eunuch bowed slightly on the chair and said, "This is just doing my duty, being loyal to Your Majesty, and doing my best for Duke Liu!" Today, Liu Gong summoned us, but there is something important to explain? ”
This old eunuch is obviously very senior, and when others see Liu Jin, they don't dare to come out. And he is the only one, and he can talk and laugh with Liu Jin.
And when Liu Jin was asked by him, he replied with a smile: "A few days ago, everyone should know about the affairs above the court!"
Everyone responded in unison, and Mi Yiyi had a smile on his face when he heard this, and everyone originally guessed that this time the convening of the Five Lions meeting should be related to the last incident.
But before Liu Jin had no export, the first of the rice could not be clarified. Now that Liu Jin says so, it must be.
Sure enough, after Liu Jin saw that everyone should be, he glanced at Mi Yi and said slowly: "Our forces still can't threaten the government and the opposition." If you want to rule the world. The first step is to get this team of talismans. However, the team camps are scattered all over the country today, and they are all controlled by the emperor's relatives, although Zhou Yuan has the name of supervising the twelve battalions, but there are always limitations, right? ”
Liu Jin actually intended to take the road of controlling the world once, how could this not surprise the four eunuchs present.
Although he was extremely surprised, Liu Jin named Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yuan nodded immediately. "Yes."
"Hey!" Liu Jin heard Zhou Yuan's this, smiled and said, "For this purpose." Liu has recruited many martial arts high-rollers and sent them to all parts of the world, waiting for an opportunity to obtain team talismans! In Kyoto, Wu Yixing's headless village was arranged! But the master not only messed up the overall arrangement, exterminated the headless village, but actually came to participate in a certain book, if it wasn't for the courage of a resolute one, he directly abolished Wu Yixing and shocked the courtiers, I am afraid that even if Liu can save his life, this position will also be taken by outsiders! Gather a few brothers today, one is for one to ask for credit! ”
Liu Jin talked for a long time, and finally got to the point.
Mi Yi was full of smiles when he heard this, stood up from the chair tremblingly, and arched his hand to Liu Jinyi, "Work hard for Liu Gong, and it's Mi Yi's duty!" Don't dare to be Liu Gong so praised! ”
"You're welcome!" Liu Jin waved his hand and said, "Previously, Liu Mou was the eunuch of the Si Shi and the eunuch of the inner factory, and he was really overwhelmed!" Fortunately, my father stepped forward and took on the responsibility of being the supervisor! ”
On the one hand, Liu Jin gave up his hand to that father-in-law.
The old eunuch smiled lightly, and showed it, but said nothing.
…………
When Liu Jin's voice landed, except for Na Qiping, they all stood up and said in unison: "I am willing to help Liu Gong and create brilliance!"
"Yes, yes!" Liu Jin's answer to everyone was very agreeable, and he said two words in a row.
He caught a glimpse of Qi Ping restlessly sitting there, the corners of his mouth raised lightly, raised his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and said to Qi Ping, "Qi Gong! ”
Hearing this, Qi Ping suddenly stood up straight and bowed: "Don't dare to be called by Liu Gong, you just call your name!"
Liu Jin nodded in agreement.
Qi Ping once thought that he had become a factory director in the inner factory, and his ability was great, so he thought about fighting against Liu Jin.
Liu Jin used thunderous means to directly transfer him to the land of Xisai, and it was only at this time that he was recalled from the west, and when he saw him like this, he agreed: "That's good, Qi Ping, have you ever complained about Liu?"
"How dare you!" Qi Ping buried his head deep between his hands, bowed his body and said, "The little one has been quietly thinking about change since he was transferred to the border of Xisai!" I just felt that I was happy that day, and I was prejudging Liu Gong, but I didn't know the sky, which made Liu Gong angry, which was really small! ”
"Oh? Really? Liu Jin had no joy or sorrow on his face, nodded and said, "Since it has been changed, I want to ask, and now I know Liu's ambitions." I don't know what position I want to occupy among them? ”
"Everything is arranged by Liu Gong!" Qi Ping continued to keep his head up.
He had been idle in the West for a long time, and now that he had to go back to Kyoto, he didn't want to go back. The moment he entered Beijing, he was already thinking about lowering his posture and only thinking about staying in Kyoto.
"Oh!" Liu Jin was quite surprised that Qi Ping, who was once unruly, had become like this, and said, "Since this is the case, then temporarily stay by Your Majesty's side, what about it?" ”
"Thank you Liu Gong for your kindness!" Qi Ping was overjoyed, and fell directly on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
The eunuch wants to be powerful, and it is only possible to please the emperor.
And Qi Ping was able to go to serve the emperor, which was really very gracious to Liu Jin.
Not only was Qi Ping grateful, but the other three great eunuchs were all surprised and inexplicable, and they all felt unthinkable when they looked at Liu Jin's eyes.
Liu Jin raised his hand, called Qi Ping, and sat him down, "I can't swallow this breath this time, Liu wants to bring down the master, are you willing to help?" ”
"Only Liu Gong listens to the order!" When they heard this, they stood up and bowed.
"Good!" Liu Jin held a gathering of five lions this time, one is to gather the hearts of the five lions, and then it is to combine the momentum of the five lions and deal with the master.
Now that everyone has expressed their attitude, Liu Jin is relieved.
In his heart, the five of them joined forces, not to mention sweeping the world, at least to deal with the master who lived in Kyoto, and it was more than enough.
Liu Jin talked about his plan in detail, and after all the great eunuchs listened, they all nodded involuntarily.
…………
"Duke Liu's plan will definitely make this master seek his own death, but this action candidate, has Duke Liu ever chosen?"
"What?" Liu Jin chuckled when he heard this, "Isn't there any suitable candidate for you?" ”
This sentence made everyone laugh in unison, and the big eunuch who spoke was blushing: "It's all about Liu Gong's worries!"
"I have a heart!" Liu Jin was very agreeable to this attitude, nodded and said, "But this time the plan is almost all arranged." The plan has been implemented! What everyone needs to care about is the movement of the Fire Phoenix Gang, so don't pay attention to this matter for the time being! ”
"Got it!" Everyone nodded.
Liu Jin said to Mi Yi: "As soon as the matter is done, I will go to Kyoto immediately, don't give the old man the slightest chance to react!"
"Obey Liu Gong's orders!" One of the meters is gladly accepted.
Seeing that everything had been ordered, Liu Jin waved his hand: "That's the end of today, everyone will disperse and go to work!" Qi Ping just returned to Kyoto, and the rules didn't work for a while, so take him with him! After that, Liu Jin strangely disappeared into the chair.
When the four of them saw each other, they all glanced at each other, didn't say anything, and went out.
…………
In Kyoto, Ximen Zu, Ximen Listening to the Rain, and Ximen Yeshu have all come to the border city at the invitation of Mu Qichen to participate in the Eid al-Fitr festival of the people of the border city.
Eid al-Fitr is one of the grand and important festivals of the people of the border city, on this day, the people of the border city in addition to bathing, to the Chengshan Temple to participate in the festival activities, and have to wear festive clothes, visit relatives and friends, express the meaning of wishing peace, pray for happiness in the coming year.
This day is the eve of Eid al-Fitr, in order to celebrate the Tai Ye Tong to participate in Eid al-Fitr, Mu Yanchen held a grand drinking party in the city, inviting all the elders among the people of the border city, and local celebrities to come.
At the banquet, all kinds of people were grateful for the grace of the master, and frequently came to pay tribute, that is, Ximen who was sitting next to the master listened to the rain, and Ximen said at night that he was also blessed by many people in the border city.
The prince respects the customs of the people in the border city, and replaces wine with water, and those who come do not refuse, and for a while, the guests and hosts celebrate.
And Ximen Ye said that after drinking a few glasses, his mind was on Zhibai, and he couldn't help but look at Zhibai who was sitting below.
Zhibai was eating the food in front of her, she was happy, and in front of many elders, she felt a little restrained, and her mood was relatively dull.
Ximen Ye said that he saw Zhibai's eyebrows, his face was gloomy, he smiled lightly, walked straight to Zhibai from the master's side, and after coming to her side, he whispered: "Zhibai girl, what's the matter, who provoked you?"
"Ugh!" Zhibai woke up from the dullness, looked up at Ximen Ye and said, Zhan Yan said, "Ah, Ximen Ye said, why are you here!" Come, sit, sit........."
As she spoke, Zhibai pulled the vacant seat next to her and motioned for Simon to sit down.
When Simon said that he saw this, he was very excited and sat down straight.
He was originally admired in his heart, but now he saw that Zhibai seemed to be interested in himself, and he was overjoyed, and after sitting down, witty words came out, and the originally dull white looked up with a smile.
Listening to the rain on the other side of the table, he saw that Simon Ye said that he was talking happily with Bai, he was happy, and he blessed his brother to find what he admired.
Then there was depression, and now Ah Tie'er has disappeared for a few days.
Listening to the rain, I remembered the past events of Ah Tie'er and herself. Xuan Nian and now left Ximen Mansion for a few days and did not come back, he was very worried in his heart, and he sighed heavily.
The grandfather sitting next to her was originally dealing with the elders and celebrities, and inadvertently heard the sigh of the rain, said sorry to these elders and celebrities, turned his head, and looked at the rain: "Listen to the rain, are you worried about Ah Tie'er?"
Listening to the rain, the master asked, and couldn't help but sigh and nodded.
"Don't worry!" Looking at the sorrow that could not be dissolved between the eyebrows of the listening rain, the master said, "Yu Ling has been sent to take a large team of guards to look for him, don't worry!" ”
didn't want to say this sentence and be heard by Zhibai on the other side, she had deep complaints about Ah Tie'er, listened to the words of the grandfather, remembered the scene of the last time Ah Tie'er met, and unconsciously felt secretly angry in her heart: "The best Ah Tie'er is missing, never come back!"
And listening to the rain listening to the master's enlightenment, he stretched his brows slightly and smiled at the master: "It's okay!" Tonight is a banquet for Mrs. Mu and the elders, so we can't afford to be lazy! ”
The master heard that Tingyu was so sensible, and he didn't feel happy to smile, and the wood maniacs over there stepped forward: "The master has such a sensible daughter, it is really a blessing for the master!"
Hearing this sentence, the master was excited, and said to the rain: "Listen to the rain, Ah Tie'er is a human being, and he values his promise." If he can come back, then he will definitely come back! It is estimated that he should already be on his way back, so don't be too worried! ”
"Yes." Listening to the rain nodded and said, "Got it, listen to the rain and go alone!" ”
"Then be careful, don't run out of the city!" The master instructed, and Xuan assigned two guards, followed by Tingyu, who got up, and turned over to talk to a group of elders and celebrities.
Listening to the rain, she just wanted to find a quiet place, quiet for a while, Ah Tie'er went for a few days, there was no news, she only felt that she didn't know the taste of food.
In this way, she walked aimlessly to a small pond in the city, and looked at the pond under the moonlight, not feeling distracted.
The two guards stood far away, not daring to come forward and disturb Simon's thoughts about listening to the rain.
When listening to the rain and falling into a long thought, suddenly a guard shouted: "Who?"
The two guards bowed over, walked quickly to Tingyu's side, blocked Tingyu behind him, pulled out their blades, and pointed at the darkness in the distance.
"It's me!" In the darkness, a middle-aged woman walked out, it was Mu Qichen, I saw her walking lightly, and as she walked, she said, "Late tonight, I am worried that Miss Tingyu is not safe here alone, so I will come and take a look!" What about Miss Listen? ”
When the two guards saw that it was Mu Madchen, they couldn't help but relax and let go of the rain behind them.
