Chapter 406
The southern foot of the Purple Mountain in Nanjing!
The spring rain is like mist and wind, blowing cool on the face. Looking at the Purple Mountain from afar, it seems to be looming. The distant mountains seem to be near, and they seem to be on the horizon. Occasionally, a ray of oblique sunlight pierced through the heavens and the earth like a sharp sword. The hazy world seemed to collapse in an instant.
Under the light, both the earth and the hearts of the people suddenly brightened up.
The water is shining and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy.
In the pavilion between the mountains sat four people, four figures who had stirred up the storm in the Ming Dynasty. Now, they are wrapped in the rain and mist in the middle of the mountain. While drinking, I watched the sun gradually tear through the haze.
"The culprit, Qian Qianyi, has been ambushed, and his henchmen have been arrested. Several of them were loyal ministers of the first emperor, and they were all people of insight of my Ming Dynasty. Why feel so nostalgic, like today's weather ......! ”
"Lord Wang, Prime Minister! When Xizong was here, you were the inner minister. At that time, you and Wei Zhongxian brothers were in the city! When the first emperor was in power, you were also the prime minister. At that time, you had a great relationship with Qian Qianyi! How? Which elder has climbed up now? The new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, so he wants to continue to be the internal minister? I wish you all the best wishes, and you will always be the prime minister of the Ming Empire. "Yang Sichang has always looked down on eunuchs, especially eunuchs like Wang Tiqian. As soon as Wang Tiqian opened his mouth today, he was scolded back by Yang Sichang.
Luo Yangxing glanced at Wang Tiqian indifferently, and Wang Chengen lowered his head and drank. It seems that there is a strong interest in the things in sake!
"Lord Yang! I'm also for the sake of Daming Sheji, I'm so old, what else can I expect? Do you think I like to be the celebrant of this ceremony? is so old, no matter how powerful the official is, how big is it. ”
"Then who knows?" Luo Yangxing said lightly.
"Lord Luo! You can't say that, the aftermath of the first emperor is all handled by my king. You are all watching the scenery from the side, if it weren't for me, would the future generations of Emperor Daxing be able to do such a beautiful thing? This mausoleum on the Purple Mountain can be repaired ......! ”
"You've worked hard!" Luo Yangxing teased lightly again.
"Yes! is thoughtful, the queen, the crown prince, and the princes are thoughtful to go to the underworld. Now, the elders have to look for the heir of the empire among the close blood relatives. It's all thanks to you, Minister-in-law! Yang Sichang picked up the wine in the cup and drank it all.
"Qian Qianyi rebelled, and our family didn't expect this. The princes guard the spirits, which is also the ritual system left by the ancestors. This......! It seems that I am rebelling against Qian Qianyi's tradition, Chengen, you have a word. Wang Tiqian was choked and rolled his eyes, so he could only turn to Wang Chengen beside him for help. Today he is here to be a lobbyist, to persuade Yang Sichang and Luo Yangxing to go out of the mountain and continue to work for the new dynasty.
Wang Tiqian sensed the hostility of these two to him, so he found his brother Wang Chengen. Unexpectedly, Wang Chengen only cared about drinking and had no intention of speaking.
"Big brother! We are brothers, and there are some things I'm embarrassed to say. Do you really want me to say what you think? After being watched by Wang Tiqian for a while, Wang Chengen came up with such a sentence. Wang Tiqian immediately became popular, originally wanted to find a helper, but unexpectedly wanted to make a whole wrongdoer.
"What can't be said, my Wang Tiqian's loyalty to the first emperor and the court can be demonstrated. I......! ”
"Okay! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Wang Chengen stretched out his hand to stop Wang Tiqian.
"Big brother, don't make this oath. I'm afraid that if God works once, a thunderbolt will really drop and split you. ”
"Why do you talk like that, can it be said that my loyalty to the court is fake?" As soon as Wang Chengen said this, Wang Tiqian's face was even more unbearable.
"Don't talk about big brother, really let me come out? You came to invite Lord Luo and Lord Yang to go out of the mountain to continue to serve the imperial court, is it really for a public heart? Isn't it to let you have a few more allies and help in the court, so that you can sit firmly in the position of the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen?
Whether it's Ma Shiying or Zhou Yanru. Which of these people is a fuel-efficient lamp? I haven't moved you now, that's because the new monarch hasn't succeeded to the throne yet. You are waiting for the new monarch to ascend the throne, I am afraid that the first edict will remove you from the throne, and it will be rare for you to be a spiritual guard at that time. ”
"You're ......!" Wang Tiqian was so frightened by Wang Chengen that he had nothing to say. If you are a little careful, you can't hide it from your brother.
"You also brought me here, how can I, Wang Chengen, have such a big face. I...... It's just a eunuch, a slave in front of His Majesty. The first emperor went, and the old slave wanted to follow. I'm just worried that no one will take care of the aftermath of Banzai! Now that Banzai's posthumous affairs are done, our family has nothing to think about. ”
"Princess!" Hearing Wang Chengen's words, Luo Yanghe and Yang Sichang were taken aback, and stood up and looked at Wang Chengen.
"The two adults don't need to panic, the old slave was by Banzai's side when he was in the mansion. The only hope in this life is to live long live to become a generation of saints, carrying the old slave to glorify his ancestors.
He is full of water and dragons, and he recognizes cigarettes as the back.
Now that the first emperor is gone, the old slave's hope in this life is gone. If there is, it is to come to work as a cow and horse to continue to serve the first emperor. The two adults, thinking that the old slave was respectful to the two on weekdays, stuffed the old slave into the underground palace. Let the old slave go to Jiuquan with Long Live and continue to be an old slave Long live. Thank you both! Wang Chengen said, arching his hand to Luo Yanghe and Yang Sichang.
"Princess, why are you doing this?" Luo Yangxing watched Wang Chengen's face gradually distort.
"Faithful servant! O faithful servant! Long live this loyal servant, but look away! Yang Sichang bowed deeply to Wang Chengen. As a scholar, he never gave a salute to Wang Chengen.
"Big brother! Forget it, let it go. Brothers...... Brothers......! Wang Chengen said it twice, but he couldn't say the rest of the words. Black blood gushed out of his mouth, and he poured out more with every word he spoke.
"Brother! Elder brother......! Wang Tiqian hugged Wang Chengen's body and cried with tears.
"Uh......!" Wang Chengen was speechless, and used all his strength to push Wang Tiqian away. He knelt straight in the direction of the imperial tomb, and his head was heavily clubbed on the ground.
"Brother!" Wang Tiqian tied his hands, not knowing what to do.
Wang Chengen trembled like he wanted to sift chaff, obviously trying his best to restrain himself. But the pain of the giant column is obviously not something he can restrain himself. Wang Chengen rolled on the ground in pain, and his mouth made a sound that he didn't know whether to wail or scream. With every scream, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Poof!" A sharp sword slashed at Wang Chengen's neck, and this sword cut off most of Wang Chengen's neck, but it was not completely severed. Speaking of which, this is also a whole corpse.
"Your loyal official and Lord Yang know it, go all the way." Luo Yangxing put away the sword and bowed to Wang Chengen's still twitching corpse.
Yang Sichang was accompanying him, and his waist was bent very low.
Dark clouds closed the sky again, and the brief flash of sunlight seemed as if it had never appeared. The world has become chaotic and gray again. The nasty rain and fog shrouded the four of them again, and Yang Sichang and Luo Yangxing still bowed down despite the wet clothes on their bodies.
"You don't need it, my brother is also benevolent. Presumably, under Jiuquan, he can continue to serve the first emperor, and the old slave is also very envious. But our Ming Dynasty is now in turmoil, and it is the time for the two such ministers to show their prestige, and the two of them are ......! "The so-called very sad is actually only ten minutes of grief.
For the dead brother, Wang Tiqian's ability to cry is already benevolent. Now the topic is back on track, persuading Yang Sichang and Luo Yangxing to continue to return to the court and fight side by side with him for power.
"Minister-sama, needless to say. Luo has decided to lead the remaining Jinyi Wei brothers to guard the imperial tomb for His Majesty for generations. ”
"Humph! Yang disdains to be with Sven scum, so he will leave today. After the death of the prince, please entrust Lord Luo. In the coming day, Yang will definitely return to Nanjing City with his soldiers and kill all the young people who murdered Long Live Xiaoxiao. ”
Wang Tiqian was dumbfounded, he didn't expect such a result today.
