Chapter 081: Surprise!
Cheng Yan's appearance is eighty percent similar to his younger brother, and his figure is similar.
If it weren't for that thick beard, it would be no different from twin brothers.
But at this moment, Cheng Yan's expression is very serious, and he can't see any joy.
Cheng Ji didn't see his brother's emotions, he happily took Cheng Yan's hand and showed the armor on his body with a smile.
"Look, brother! Redundant servant shot! ”
"Hahaha, I'm out there too! This is kind of living up to your high expectations, right?! ”
Looking at his younger brother with a smug face, Cheng Yan's face darkened, and he asked quietly: "Didn't you say that you would be promoted to the crown prince?" How did it become a redundant servant? ”
"Hahaha, brother, come in and say!"
Cheng Ji happily pulled his brother into the inner room, let his brother sit on the top seat, and he sat beside him.
"Isn't this thanks to my brother? Originally, I was going to be promoted, but General Zhengxi said that for the sake of my brother's face, he promoted me to do this redundant servant shooting! ”
"Brother, the Nasha people are just guards, to put it bluntly, they are standing guard in the palace with weapons! What kind of official position is this? But now it's different, I'm now the head of the emperor's guards, and all the guards have to obey my orders, and there are more than 100 people under my command... So what is the prince's house? ”
Looking at Cheng Ji's proud appearance, Cheng Ji's face darkened.
"You know a!"
"Stupid!!"
"Are you really a prince who guards the palace?? This position is the same as Langzhong, it is to increase your qualifications, and if there is a vacancy in the court in the future, it is necessary to select someone from Langzhong to go to the top!! ”
"You stupid!! What a redundant servant shoot! I have to be! Now follow me to General Zhengxi..."
Cheng Yan was really angry at the moment, he didn't understand why he had such a stupid younger brother.
Take the prince's house to exchange for redundant servant shooting, were you kicked in the head by a stupid donkey??
Cheng Yan served as the cavalry governor under Sima Shi, and he still had some ability.
The Mounted Governor was not a formal official position, but a temporary military position.
His power is big and big, small and small, if you say it to the big one, this is the one who can command all the cavalry under the general, if you say it to the small one, it is just the knight leader next to the general.
This position is more embarrassing, belonging to the kind of henchman, but there is no room for promotion, in order to avoid such a situation for his younger brother, Cheng Yan tried his best to let him follow Sima Zhao, wanting him to go from Sima Zhao to the prince and become an official in the real sense.
After all, the two brothers have a bad background, and if they are not gilded, it will be difficult to get a good start.
But this gold-plated opportunity was wasted like this, and Cheng Yan was naturally itchy with his teeth.
Cheng Ji hurriedly grabbed his brother, "Brother, don't be angry, I have a big surprise!" ”
Cheng Ji walked to the door, looked around, and then sat back in his place, the excitement in his heart could no longer be hidden, he whispered: "Brother doesn't know, I still have a heavy responsibility this time!" ”
Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment, and glanced at this unsuccessful younger brother.
"Tell me straight!"
Cheng Ji hurriedly said: "General Zhengxi summoned me, and he told me that the general is now seriously ill and his condition is unstable, and if something happens to the general, the emperor will not be able to stay... As the head of the emperor's guard, I must be ready at all times, if the general is not good, then I have to cooperate with the general Zhengxi, so that the emperor will die of grief..."
Cheng Yan's eyes widened, trembling all over, and he only felt that his scalp was numb.
Cheng Ji said again: "He promised me that if he can handle this matter well, he will give our brothers the corresponding titles and serve as generals together..."
"Brother?! You say, is it worth it to exchange Nasheren for this redundant servant?! ”
Sungji seems to be still waiting for his brother's praise.
Cheng Yan just felt that his mind was blank at the moment, and the whole person was frightened.
This big surprise was too big, and the big battle-hardened general felt his legs tremble.
Cheng Ji didn't wait for his brother's praise for a long time, and looked at his eldest brother suspiciously.
"Brother? What's wrong? ”
"I...."
Cheng Yan gritted his teeth, at this moment, he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, got up and kicked his younger brother's body, and directly kicked Cheng Ji over, this was not enough to relieve his hatred, he picked up his fist and was about to fight.
Cheng Ji was stunned, he said it was good, why did he do it suddenly?
Although he is a muddy person, he was raised by his brother, and he really didn't have the courage to do anything with his brother, but just hugged his head and kept begging for mercy.
"I'll kill you idiot!!"
"Surprise?? That's the surprise?? ”
Cheng Qi said angrily: "What kind of thing are you, what kind of background do you dare to participate in this kind of thing?" That Jia Chong was killed by them mercilessly, what are you? Yes? ”
"If you help them kill the emperor, we will be punished by the clan the next day!"
"Are you trying to drag our whole clan to the funeral?!"
Hearing his brother's words, Cheng Ji was still a little incredulous, "How could it be?" ”
Cheng Yan sat down slowly, his eyes full of despair.
"It's over, it's over, if I drag you to the general now, it's disloyalty... If you keep it, something will happen sooner or later..."
Cheng Ji only felt something wrong at this moment, no wonder those surnamed Sima were so scared.
It turns out that they don't want to bear the notoriety?
He said with some hesitation: "Brother, since General Zhengxi promised me, he should not give up..."
"Huh, promise?"
"Then did he swear to protect you by pointing at Luo Shui?"
Cheng Qi asked in a cold voice.
Cheng Ji was speechless for a moment.
The credibility of the Sima family is too low, because they don't have enough background, they can only use fraudulent means to constantly consume their own reputation, and their own reputation is not worth much anyway.
Including the previous attack on Guo De, Jia Chong, and Gao Rou, it has actually aroused the vigilance of many ministers.
Sooner or later, the Sima family will have to make a move against their allies, as long as the Sima family wants to replace Cao Chao and become the real emperor, then the big families in the country will definitely have to be governed, and they can't let themselves be set aside, right?
Because of Cao Chao, the Sima family was too hasty this time, although it calmed down a lot of turmoil, but it caused many people to be uneasy.
And the reputation has suffered again.
Even Sima Shi's henchmen like Cheng Qi did not recognize their credibility and thought that they would be betrayed, let alone others?
The brothers sat in the inner room, silent.
Cheng Ji finally realized the danger of this matter, and he slapped his thigh suddenly, "General Zhengxi wants to use himself as a knife?" Throw it away when you're done with it? ”
Cheng Yan ignored him.
Looking at his brother's desperate face, Cheng Ji gritted his teeth and said angrily: "It's a big deal, I'll cut off the relationship with the family...."
Cheng Yan laughed angrily.
"What do you think everyone said in the past that they wanted to rehabilitate Xiahou Xuan?"
"The clan relationship is something you can break off? Is it difficult to be blessed with the same blessing? ”
"Gao Rou and what they haven't been able to do, how can you do it?"
Cheng Ji was helpless, "Then what should we do?" Brother, I'm not afraid of death, I don't want to involve you, if I can't do it, I'll commit suicide! All things are caused by me, and they will not affect you! ”
Cheng Yan glared at this stupid big man, "Shut up for me!" You've caused us so much trouble, do you want to die?! ”
"So what am I going to do..."
"Brother, doesn't the general value you very much? Why don't you go directly to the general to intercede? ”
"General...."
Cheng Yan let out a long sigh.
This general has never been a person who cares about any feelings.
Seeing that his brother didn't reply, Cheng Ji asked again, "Then why don't I pretend to be sick?" Chop off your own hands? ”
The green tendons on Cheng Yan's forehead jumped up.
"What is the difference between you doing this and me taking you to General Zhengxi? Aren't they all disobeying his orders? ”
"The general hasn't shown up for two days, if I'm not mistaken, I must be doing my best to heal at this moment, everything in the world is in the hands of General Zhengxi, if I oppose him in the name of the general's henchmen, wouldn't I be jealous of him?"
Cheng Ji's face was full of despair, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should I do?" ”
"Don't panic... You must first do what General Zhengxi instructs, but you must not do anything to the emperor, even if General Zhengxi personally orders, you can't do anything to the emperor, otherwise, we will definitely die..."
"Today, it's not going to be peaceful... If the general is gone, can the general Zhengxi be able to hold it down? ”
An inexplicable glint flashed in Cheng Yan's eyes.
Cheng Ji thought thoughtfully, "What does brother mean?" ”
"Wait a little longer, didn't you say that the emperor was kind to you? You can't approach the Emperor on your own initiative, but don't reject his kindness too much..."
"There are still Sima Wang, Sima Xun and others in the palace, if they are in a hurry, they have to be anxious, and we can only wait patiently."
"If you really want to force us to die... Oh, it's all a head on the shoulder, and let's see who dies first!! ”
"Good !!"
ps: 110,000 collections, hahaha, I originally thought that I could receive 150,000 before I put it on the shelf, but it turned out that it was not the right time to open the book, and I met the battle of the gods.
