254, bitter waiting
Those guards disliked the smell of wine on his body, lest they avoid it, where could they still look at him for half a minute, pinched their noses, and scolded: "Drink a fart, get out!" β
Li Guxing laughed, handed the wine jug to them, pretended to be a hangover and said boldly: "I didn't drink it, come, drink it together!" β
Immediately came up to them, pretending to vomit, frightened the two guards to dodge quickly, giving up a large piece of space.
Li Guxing wiped his mouth, looked at them sadly, and said it was funny.
"If you don't drink, don't drink, look at you scared like this, leave!"
He staggered towards the inner court of the palace, only to feel that there were thousands of roads, but he didn't know which one was where the "heirloom keel" was.
was walking staggeringly, but he heard a person behind him shouting impatiently: "Go wrong, that way!" β
Li Guxing turned his head sideways, raised his eyes to glance at him, and asked, "Which one?!" β
The janissary said, "Left! Oh, I said Brother Sun, you should drink less in the future. β
The corner of Li Guxing's mouth smiled slightly, "Drink less and still be alive!" β
He shook the flask again, took a large sip into his mouth, and walked in the direction of the guard's finger.
Fortunately, that person has a good heart, otherwise he would have been exposed.
Being on duty in the Forbidden City is not a trivial matter, especially the Praetorian Guard, if he is so drunk and takes the wrong path, and when the time comes, he will be caught and held accountable, then it will not all be exposed, and it will be difficult to fly even if his martial arts are good.
He continued to stagger, taking figure-eight steps, turning around and turning back for a while, walking for a long time without going far.
The two guards in the back sighed helplessly when they saw him looking embarrassed.
"You said that Brother Sun, who looks like a bastard, how can the saint appreciate him so much."
"Shhh, you can't talk nonsense about this, who made him have a good father."
"Good daddy? Who is his father? β
"Sun Changsheng, who had the merit of opening the door at the beginning, but that was just his father, and he still had a ...... Hey hey ......"
As he spoke, the man smiled lewdly, with some ugly expressions on his face.
Another person urged: "Tell me, does he still have a father?" β
The janissary nodded, "No, it's still a no-handle." β
"Oh...... It turned out to be the one who didn't bring a handle, Wang Zhenwang, the grand duke. β
"It's him, hey, it's a pity that I'm soft-spoken, if I want me to be in Jinyiwei, I have to be that Wang Zhen good-looking."
The guard nodded again, "But it seems that this Brother Sun is not treated well by Wang Zhen's father-in-law." β
"How so?"
"Look? Our saint went out to fight this time, and brought so many people with him. An army of 500,000 is victorious and undefeated. We haven't fought in many years, and those military attachΓ©s want to go crazy if they want to mix up military exploits. β
"There's some truth to what you say."
"That's right, if his godfather is really good to him, he should take him to the battlefield, where to let him stay in the capital."
"It's a pity, it's a pity, I don't even have the integrity of a guard, and I recognized my father in vain."
Li Guxing's ears and body are strong, and he feels funny when he listens to it.
As far as he knew, the cabinet did not agree to send troops this time, especially Yu Qian, and the opposition was very fierce.
However, the emperor's intention to send troops has been decided, and he has been in power for many years, who dares to disagree?
However, Yu Qian was a minister, and he would rather die than die, and finally at the suggestion of the Empress Dowager Sun, he was sent to the south to raise horses. Although he moved to the left, he was saving him.
With Yu Qian's steely character, he will definitely be able to admonish him until death, and when the time comes, both sides will not be able to come down, and the little emperor Zhu Qizhen may do something to kill chickens and monkeys for his own authority, and it may not be impossible to use Yu Qian's head to stabilize his imperial power.
Empress Dowager Sun knew that Yu Qian was a capable minister and a loyal minister, and she didn't want him to be planted in this kind of thing, so she made a decree and Yu Qian sent him to raise horses.
According to the words of Empress Dowager Sun, "This world is the world of their old Zhu family, and after all, the person surnamed Zhu is in charge." β
This is said very clearly, that is, let Yu Qian not be too upright.
It is true that he is a loyal minister, but he is different from the loyal ministers, others are loyal to the emperor,
He is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and his subjects, as long as it is a good thing for the country and the people, even if it conflicts with the emperor's intentions, he will fight for it and do it correctly.
Li Guxing admired this Jinshi in the Yongle period in his heart, and remembered his loyal and good death festival in his heart.
He continued to walk, scattering and slowly dangling the figure-eight steps, walking and stopping, remembering many roads in his heart.
It is said that the "heirloom keel" was placed in a Buddhist hall in the Empress Dowager's Renshou Palace.
In the final analysis, it was the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma who had a deep affection for each other, so that they could entrust the important things to take care of the country's fortunes.
Fortunately, the place where Sun Yidao was on duty was not far from Renshou Palace, and the Empress Dowager Sun was known for her kindness.
He has always remembered the road, but the Forbidden City is very big, and he has not had the opportunity to visit the Forbidden City in the past few years when he has been on an errand in Fusi, Beizhen, so he secretly observed for a long time with the identity of Sun Yidao, until he was on duty.
It was a side hall, or a cold palace, where the concubine Hu lived.
Originally, guards were not allowed to guard such places, maybe Emperor Renzong did not trust the concubine Hu clan, afraid that his methods would be too high and poisonous, and he was also afraid that he would have some bad thoughts to find a short-term opinion, so he used two guards in the distance in case of emergency.
Naturally, such a cold palace can't use any shrewd and capable people, otherwise it will not be good to be like Qin Shihuang's biological mother Zhao Ji and Chang Yu to mess up the harem.
Sun Yidao has some martial arts, is addicted to alcohol, and is sloppy, which can be described as an excellent candidate.
Thinking of this, Li Guxing couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, he didn't expect that one day he would be able to drink and have an errand, and he had to admire Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji's ingenuity.
Another guard is also a person similar to him, but he is a gambler, and he is also an errand obtained by borrowing the Yu Yin of his ancestors, and he is addicted to gambling all day long.
There is a saying that gambling and drinking are not separated, and the man saw Li Guxing coming from afar, treated him as Sun Yidao, and complained of bitterness.
"Brother Sun, come and come, borrow the words of the brothers."
I think that the two brothers usually have a good relationship, and they are so straightforward in borrowing money.
Li Guxing's eyes rolled, he shook the wine jug in his hand, and said arrogantly: "Don't worry, it's on my brother." β
The man was overjoyed when he heard this, "Brother Sun, you have money, are you really willing to lend it to your younger brother?" β
Li Guxing said: "Money? No, no, but I have wine. β
The man said sadly, "Wine is a good thing, but it's a pity...... My brother doesn't know, my brother has a very itchy hand......"
Li Guxing took a big sip of wine and waved his hands, "What can I do then?" I can't help it. β
The man said, "Then my brother just said that it was wrapped up in you?" How to wrap around you? β
Li Guxing patted his chest, looked at the man with squinting eyes, and beat his chest muscles with his hand.
"My brother is in good shape."
The man was a little stunned by Li Guxing, and hurriedly retreated.
"Brother said with a smile, we are all martial arts practitioners, and this body is naturally much stronger than others."
Li Guxing pinched his face again and looked at it for a while.
"This face has to be cleaned up, and it is also a good skin."
The man's face was a little shocked, and he said, "Brother...... What to say? β
Li Guxing said: "What else can there be, there are a lot of dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, with your skin, how can you not get ten taels or twenty taels of silver in one night?" Five
The man's face turned white with fright, and he smiled awkwardly, "Brother Sun, this, this is not a joke. β
Li Guxing laughed, patted his generals, and put the wine in his arms.
"It's funny, I'm scared of you. Can my brother hurt you like this? β
He took out the waist card, picked out a few golden beans, and put them in the palm of his hand.
"I'll give you these, you turn them carefully!!"
The man was glad to have these golden beans
I don't know why, the hands immediately itched again, I didn't want to stay for a moment, I poured a few big sips of wine, and my spirits were uplifted!
Li Guxing said: "My brother gave you these golden beans, but I don't want you to gamble now." β
He shook the flask and poured it down.
"Like you, my brother can't live without wine, the night is long, you help me watch first, take me back and then leave."
The man was favored, even though his heart was itching, but this thin noodles still had to be given, patting his chest and reassuring, "Brother Sun, don't worry, I will definitely wait for you here!" β
Li Guxing grinned, hung the wine jug and walked towards the distance.
Estimating that he had disappeared from the man's field of vision, he performed light skills, found a secluded place, and forced the yellow soup in his body out of his body, and as soon as the cool breeze blew, his mind was clear.
In the dark night, Li Guxing's eyes were like torches, staring at his prey like a cat.
The palace is no better than others, and the lights are still bright at night, especially in the cabinet, and they are even more conscientious and dare not delay for a moment, which forms a sharp contrast with those eunuchs and palace maids.
Fighting in front, soldiers risked their lives, these civil officials were not easier than them, grain, grass, baggage, silver, all of which they needed to plan carefully.
Therefore, the first contribution to the founding of the country since ancient times was not the general who fought in the front, but the prime minister in charge of the rear, such as Li Shanchang in the Ming Dynasty and Xiao He in the Han Dynasty.
Li Guxing sighed in his heart, the Ming Dynasty is like this, but there is such an emperor who favors eunuchs, but he doesn't know that the rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty is because of the ten permanent servants.
He put away the sigh in his heart, hid behind a rockery, and watched the palace maids coming and going.
Empress Dowager Sun's food is light and elegant, and the palace maids of Renshou Palace are also different from the palace maids next to them under the influence of Empress Dowager Sun.
Li Guxing waited for most of the night, until the eunuchs in the palace who played the second watch did not see those palace maids.
"Where is Empress Dowager Sun?"
Li Guxing was depressed in his heart, he came to the heavily guarded palace, but he didn't know where the Empress Dowager Sun was, let alone the palace maid who sent supper, and seeing such an hour, who could still eat supper here.
Li Guxing secretly sighed helplessly, and estimated in his heart that he might have to stay in this palace for a few days.
In the past half day, he has not eaten half a bit of water and rice except for the yellow soup all over his intestines, and at this moment he can't help but feel hungry in his stomach and scream unconsciously.
There is a saying that people are iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic.
Li Guxing is not a fool who only knows how to wait for death, and finding something to eat is naturally the first priority.
He may not be able to find anything else, but this imperial dining room, he can know it by smelling the aroma, find a path that no one cares about, avoid the guards patrolling at night, and in a flash, he enters the imperial dining room, and then jumps onto the beam, unconsciously.
