Chapter 11 Becoming an Official
On this day, King Chengzang entered the palace to accompany the emperor to taste wine and enjoy the flowers, I heard that the emperor is an excellent Yaxing, proficient in music and songs, and love to enjoy the flowers and the moon These elegant things, I heard that when the emperor was still the prince, he collected the world's servants in the prince's mansion, and a group of servants had a hangover at night, and the ministers often participated in this, saying that the prince was inappropriate, and this kind of thing often made the first emperor angry,
But I don't want to later, the prince dedicated one of his most proud servants, named Jing Xinmo to the first emperor, and then the first emperor pampered that servant day by day, but later ignored the government and politics, and his body became weaker and weaker, and he died, and the prince was the current emperor Li Cunqiao succeeded to the throne, and named Jing Xinmo as the commander of the officer, in charge of Qianyinfang, I heard that the emperor was very fond of him......
Today, King Chengzang instructed me early in the morning, wearing brocade plain clothes, wearing a purple crown, wearing a white pendant around his waist, and stepping on a pair of jade boots, so he asked me to wait in the Qilan Palace, King Chengzang will lead the emperor from the imperial garden to this, sure enough, after a while, I heard the laughter of the emperor and everyone,
I took off my boots, picked a bouquet of flowers and put them in my boots, and then deliberately messed up my hair, and then stepped barefoot into the flowers, and went to pick flowers, and after a while I heard the emperor coming this way.
"Who are you and what are you doing here",
I turned around and knelt on the ground in a panic, "Back to the emperor, the villain's name is Zhang Eighteen, he is a guest of Chengzang's palace, and he entered the palace with King Chengzang."
"Zhang Yu, this is your house",
"Back to the emperor, this Xiao Si doesn't understand the rules, and I ask the emperor to forgive me",
"It's okay", and turned to look at me again, "You little Si, let me ask you, what are you doing to pick flowers, and why do you take off your boots",
"Back to the emperor, the villain just said, I am a servant, the villain thinks that the flowers here are very bright, and I want to pick them back, grind them, and make powder makeup, and the villain thinks that this flower is the cleanest and smartest thing, and it can't be dirty, but the villain's boots are dirty, so I take off my boots and pick flowers."
"Mmmm, you Xiao Si is not only interesting, but also elegant, like a person who is King Chengzang*, you just said that you are a servant, but do you know that I am also extremely proficient in this",
"Of course, who in the Later Tang Dynasty doesn't know the name of Li Tianxia",
"Hahaha, you are a servant, you are bold, but you don't know what your skills are, why don't you sing a paragraph to me now, I will definitely be able to tell the faction and source of the lyrics",
"Back to the emperor, of course it's good, but",
"But what",
I took two steps and casually pointed to a small palace man beside the emperor, "What's your name?"
"I am a servant of Qianyinfang, called Guo Congqian",
"So very good," I handed him a flute, and put it in my ear, "and you will blow ......",
"The star Lang Lang is out of the East, the rooster on the shelf sings continuously, and the courtiers are busy for the fifth time. The ancestors' copper hammer is held in the arms, and the ivory wat board is pressed against the chest", after a song, I saw that the emperor had listened to it and was fascinated,
"Wonderful, wonderful, this 'Erjin Palace' sings wonderfully, few people in the palace can sing such a taste, and the tone is not so gentle and tactful", "I, immediately named you the young commander, in charge of the affairs of Qianyinfang, and gave you the title of 'Miaoyu Gongzi', you will return to the house with King Chengzang first, and the holy decree will be sent to your house immediately",
"Thank you, Lord Longen", King Chengzang nodded to me, but I deliberately didn't look at him, not long after the emperor left, the little flute for me just now Guo Congqian came over,
"Miaoyu Gongzi, you sang so beautifully",
"Your name is Guo Congqian, thank you, but don't call me Miaoyu Gongzi, that's just a title, you still call me Zhang Eighteen",
"Eighteenth brother, I came here to return your flute",
"Congqian, this will be given to you, after a while, I will also go to Qianyinfang, although you are young, but you entered the palace earlier than me, and my brother will rely on you in the future",
"Eighteenth brother," he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, just nodded and left......
When I returned to the palace of King Chengzang, King Chengzang was already sitting in my room, and he handed me the holy decree prepared by the emperor, and asked me to enter the palace in three days.
"Eighteen, will you accompany me again, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future",
"Lord Wang, in short, you got everything you wanted, isn't it, the slave will repay you for saving your life, so you don't need to do this",
"Eighteen, believe it or not, I seem to have regretted it",
I turned my head, he looked at me straightly, at this moment he was like a helpless child, I had never seen him like this, at this moment his eyes were so lonely, that look attracted me again, I walked over, sat at his feet, and put my hand on his lap, kneaded him,
"Eighteen, you should know that although I am the prince, but I am surnamed Zhang, my father is not a relative of the emperor, but a courtier of the emperor, only because my father assisted the emperor to calm the war and founded the Tang Dynasty, I was named the king of Pingcang, but", he frowned,
"It's easy to fight the country, it's difficult to defend the country, you must have heard of it, the emperors of the Later Tang Dynasty all favored the servants, and the first father was not used to seeing the servants in the court and the middle of the country, and he often played it, which always made the first emperor angry, and then the first father died of depression, which is why my mother hated you",
"So, Lord Wang, you know that it is not a good strategy to speak out and enter the table, so you have to enter the palace at the eighteenth to pay attention to the movements of the servants in the court for you."
"Eighteen, you can understand the king's intentions, it's best, you know that our Hou Tang is just a small country, and all forces are also eyeing each other, if there is a slight mistake, the Hou Tang will be gone", and then King Chengzang knelt on the ground, "So this king wants you to spy on the inside situation, collect evidence of the chaos of the court, and when the time comes, the king and the king should cooperate with the outside, and the king will unite the ministers, in the name of the Qing monarch, get rid of the servants",
"Lord, get up quickly, eighteen can't afford it, the eighteen you explain will do it with all your heart, the prince can rest assured",
"Eighteen, so well aware of the righteousness, this king really did not misunderstand you",
"It's just the prince", I suddenly felt extremely sad, "Do you hate the servant so much",
"Yes, I hate", he is so crisp, so determined,
"Okay, Lord Wang, Eighteen understands", I actually left tears, "It's just that Eighteen is also a servant, and when the prince is successful, he doesn't have to show mercy to Eighteen",
"Eighteen, no, I", he interrupted me,
"Eighteen is willing to lead death", after saying that, I said goodbye to him and left......
