In the Qiantian Palace, the sun was just right, but Long Xiang felt that he was extremely confused.

At this time, a little eunuch who had been following Yanzi Gonggong for a long time trotted over and said to the emperor: "Emperor, Yanzi Gonggong, I want to ask to see the emperor." “

Yanzi is regarded as the personal eunuch of the first emperor, according to the customs of Taiping, the first emperor passed away, and this personal eunuch was not allowed to follow the next emperor.

Long Xiang straightened his face, he knew what the purpose of Yanzi's father-in-law was to see.

His fingers couldn't help but turn the jade wrench on his thumb. It is rumored that the emperor of Taiping has a group of secret teams that specialize in collecting intelligence, and they directly obey the emperor's orders, and no one knows their whereabouts, only that they are placed in various places, so they have the title of shuttle. This jade wrench is a token.

"Let Father-in-law Yanzi wait in the front hall. Long Xiang put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly.

"Yes. The little eunuch trotted away quickly.

Seeing Long Xiang stand up, the red-faced little eunuch opened his mouth a little anxiously and said, "Your Majesty, the queen is there." “

Long Xiang's back stiffened again. He was stunned for a while, and then said embarrassedly: "Also, let's ask an imperial doctor to take a look, the queen's legs and feet are not good, lest she squat badly." “

"Yes, Your Majesty. The little eunuch who had received the order squatted and took a few steps back, and then walked out quickly.

Long Xiang sighed for some reason, it was really not easy.

In the front hall of the Qiantian Palace, when the emperor stepped in, he saw Yanzi's father-in-law standing alone in the hall. Seeing the emperor coming, he instinctively wanted to walk to the emperor's side, and suddenly realized that his position was no longer painful, and Yanzi's father-in-law looked at that position with some complexity, which was the position when he served the emperor. Now, Taiping has changed to a new dynasty.

The little eunuch who came in with the emperor consciously stepped aside.

Father-in-law Yanzi is a strict person, although his temples have turned white, they are still neatly combed together, and there is no excessive hair.

Father-in-law Yanzi looked at Long Xiang, bowed to him, and saluted.

said to Long Xiang: "Emperor, the old slave is bidding farewell to you." “

"Father-in-law Yanzi, you are a veteran of the Taiping Palace, and you have served the first emperor, you can find a quiet garden in the palace, or in Anyang City, find a courtyard, and enjoy your old age in peace. Why do you have to trek through mountains and rivers?" asked Long Xiang.

"Thank you for your grace. Yanzi bowed again and said slowly: "Minister, I promised the first emperor and watched the emperor ascend the throne smoothly." Now that the enthronement ceremony has passed, the queen's phoenix throne has also been established. The old slave completed the mission of the first emperor and naturally had to retire. Besides, as soon as people get old, they begin to miss the old days, and they miss the place where the old slave was born, so they want to go and see, and they will return to their hometown. “

Long Xiang nodded, Yanzi's father-in-law has a deep relationship with Long Xiang, and he is a person who has watched Long Xiang grow up, so Long Xiang naturally will not object.

Long Xiang said: "Since Yanzi's father-in-law has made a decision, the widow will naturally not be reluctant, and the widow will let the little eunuch who serves you go back to his hometown with you." This is a little bit of the widow's heart, so don't refuse Yanzi's father-in-law. “

"Old slave, thank you. Father-in-law Yanzi knelt on the floor tremblingly, and the little eunuch beside him carefully supported him.

An old body kowtowed to the newborn sun-like emperor in front of him. Long Xiang did not refuse, because he knew that this was Yanzi's father-in-law, and for the last time, he would kowtow to himself, to the Qiantian Palace, and to Taiping.

Yanzi's father-in-law's rickety body struggled to cling to the ground, his hands facing down, straight, and also against the floor.

This is the most solemn etiquette in the peace, and after the ceremony of Yanzi Gonggong was completed, Long Xiang walked towards Yanzi Gonggong in two steps, and stretched out his hand to help the old man.

"Your Majesty. Yanzi's father-in-law seemed to be very emotional, but for a while, he was speechless and choked, so he could only pat Long Xiang's big hand with his rough big hand, and Long Xiang did not refuse, although this is a violation of etiquette.

"Emperor, emperor, as soon as the old slave leaves, the emperor will vacate a personal eunuch. Father-in-law Yanzi nodded and said, "Old slave, I would like to recommend someone for the emperor, this person will definitely be able to serve the emperor wholeheartedly like the old slave." “

"What is recommended by Yanzi's father-in-law, the widow must be reused. There are two reasons why Long Xiang can say this, one is naturally because Father-in-law Yanzi knows too many secrets, and the people he has cultivated must be trustworthy.

The second, and most important, is that Father-in-law Yanzi is going to leave the palace and no longer care about court affairs, so he is naturally not afraid that he will cultivate power.

"The emperor doesn't have to care about the face of the old slave, if he has poor service, the emperor can be replaced. Father-in-law Yanzi looked at the jade wrench in Long Xiang's hand, and said cryptically: "The emperor should know, he knows everything." The next peace depends on the emperor. “

"Don't worry, Father-in-law Yanzi. The father handed over the country to the hands of the widow, and the widow should take the responsibility of peace. Long Xiang smiled and nodded.

The warm spring breeze slowly blew into the Qiantian Temple, with the smell of spring, Yanzi nodded, he believed, because Yanzi knew that Long Xiang was the descendant of the first emperor and her.

Their blood is tied to the deepest foundation of Taiping. And Long Xiang is like the sun that is born in Taiping, Yanzi will watch, watch in his hometown, what kind of level will Long Xiang lead Taiping, what kind of Taiping will become!

Yanko believed that she had waited for it.

It's just early morning, the sun is still shining warmly on the ground, and most of the snow on the ground has melted.

With the support of the little eunuch beside him, Yanzi's father-in-law walked in the Taiping palace.

He looked at his feet from time to time, and every brick he had stepped on hundreds of times when he was young.

From time to time, he looked back at the flying eaves, and every tile accompanied him through most of his life.

Now, I'm leaving. Father-in-law Yanzi sighed, and finally did not look back, but hobbled towards the gate of the Taiping Palace.

Long Xiang looked at the little eunuch in front of him who was about the same age as himself, and he knew that this little eunuch was recommended by Yanzi's father-in-law.

"Slave Wang Xi, see the emperor. Although the little eunuch was young, there was calmness in his eyes.

"What did Father-in-law Yanzi tell you?" asked Long Xiang.

"Father-in-law Yanzi taught the slaves that the emperor should be respected in everything, and the emperor should be the first in everything. Wang Xi replied carefully.

"Do you know the shuttle?" asked Long Xiang suddenly.

Wang Xi's face did not have any expression, but said calmly: "Father-in-law Yanzi mentioned a little, this organization was entrusted by Emperor Taiping Mingcheng to hide in all corners of the four countries, and every year it will send information from various countries, of course, there are also a hundred shuttles in Taiping. The shuttle is passed down from generation to generation, one generation is the shuttle, and the next generation is the shuttle. “

"It seems that Father-in-law Yanzi has said a lot to you. Long Xiang nodded, as if he needed such a calm assistant by his side.

Seeing Wang Xi's expression, Long Xiang was definitely no longer much. He said, "Have you thought about it?" Are you willing to become a personal eunuch of the widow?"

"Minion, willing. Wang happily replied without a trace of hesitation.

Under the setting sun, Wang Xi recalled the last words that Yanzi's father-in-law said to himself.

Father-in-law Yanzi, with his back to Wang Xi, walked slowly forward, and said slowly: "Take this pill, in this way, you can get everything you want." It is not difficult to be loyal for a while, but who can guarantee a person's loyalty for a lifetime?"

Wang Xi, who was kneeling on the floor, looked at the pill in his hand, even a fool knew what was going on. His eyes rolled, and then he swallowed without hesitation.

He is calm and pretended, he is also a human being, as long as he is a human being, he will have endless desires. Now that his desires are within reach, how can he give up?

Father-in-law Yanzi turned his face sideways, took Wang Xi's look in his eyes, smiled slightly, and continued to walk slowly towards the front.

It's this look, I used to have myself, maybe it was because of this that Long Xian chose himself.

This pill itself is not poisonous, what is poisonous is the yellow paper, on the yellow paper, written in cinnabar is the curse of the head of the Yan family, to put it bluntly, it is a curse, a curse from the Taiping Emperor, eternal life and eternity, if the Taiping changes hands, then all the shuttles, as well as themselves, will bleed the seven orifices, and ten thousand arrows pierce the heart.

Yes, in a peaceful and prosperous world, there are always some people who want to do these shady things that are unsightly.

Wang Xi, what a good name.
