The words say:

"Singing through the sun, the tears have not dried, and the fame is left to eat. Floating water sends infinite trees, and buries half of the mountain with rain clouds. The hatred of the present and the ancients, thousands of kinds, should only be separated from the joys and sorrows? Jiangtou is not a storm and evil, and it is difficult for anyone else to walk in the world. ”

Yong'an, the capital, is the most prosperous city in the Great Shang Kingdom, with thousands of streets and alleys and busy traffic. The Yonghe Hall of the Forbidden City is the highest palace in the Great Shang Kingdom, with vermilion walls and yellow tiles, and it is resplendent in gold.

On the spine of the eleven-zhang high Yonghe Hall, a young man in yellow civilian clothes sits. The man was not very tall, a little thin, a little handsome, but there was a little melancholy between his eyebrows and eyes, and he was holding his cheeks, sitting on the top of the highest palace in the empire, quietly looking at the familiar and unfamiliar imperial capital in front of him.

The little eunuch who had just climbed up from the ladder for a while finally couldn't help but say in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, forgive the slave for talking too much, the top of this hall is windy and easy to catch a cold, you better go back to the Yangshen Pavilion to rest, otherwise the chief manager will scold the slave again." ”

The man turned his head sideways to look at the little eunuch and smiled gently: "Don't be afraid, I want to climb up to see the scenery myself, if Father Shang wants to scold you, I will explain to him." After a pause, he asked the little eunuch again: "Has Feng Ying's anger disappeared?"

The little eunuch replied with sincere fear: "Uncle Guo has just left, and the queen mother should be happy at this time." ”

The man smiled again and said slowly: "It's been difficult for her in the past few years, and she has a different dream in the same bed with me, but she has to pretend to be a loving husband and wife in front of people." She herself has a man she likes, but she can't be together. I had to let him pretend to be my uncle, and when I saw her once a month, I could only talk to her, and I felt sorry for her...... But who can I say these words to? Yu Fu, don't be annoyed by me, I can only nag with you. ”

The little eunuch Yu Fu said softly: "The slave doesn't dare", and then lowered his head, and didn't dare to answer half a sentence, Yu Fu didn't understand this man named Yin Guang very well. In fact, the little eunuch Yu Fu really wanted to ask him, you are obviously the most powerful person in the Great Shang Kingdom, but now the big eunuch dares to bully you, the princes want to bully you, and the queen also looks down on you, how can you live so embarrassed? But Yu Fu really didn't dare to ask.

What's even more embarrassing is that it is rumored that the national teacher Tang Fulong has a young son, who won the second place in Jiangnan Province at the age of eleven, but he was beaten to death in the second year and refused to enter Beijing to take the Jinshi examination. Others asked him why, this kid said that Jinshi was a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and he didn't want to have a teacher of the Son of Heaven who could be bullied even by eunuchs. Your Majesty, even a little kid dares to look down on you. Yu Fu calculated in his heart, it seems that Emperor Yin Guang can occasionally bully people, that is, himself and the little palace maid Wenxiu, alas, being bullied by such an emperor is really boring.

Thinking of this, Yu Fu couldn't help but look at Yin Guang sitting on the spine of the main hall again, only to see him raise his head, look at the blue sky and say to himself: "The third sister should go to Jiangnan Road at this time, I really envy her, she can roam the rivers and lakes in a good way, but unfortunately I can only be the emperor, in fact, when I was a child, I also had a dream of rivers and lakes, and I also thought about being a hero, but when I grew up, the dream was shattered." ”

The little eunuch Yu Fu looked at the emperor with a speechless face, Yu Fu suddenly wanted to ask His Majesty the emperor again, what are you thinking about every day? Do you know how many people are staring at the throne viciously? You said that you don't want to be the emperor, you want to be a hero?

——————————

Yu Fu still remembers that three years ago, Shuiyue Building, the largest Qinglou in Beijing, came to a new Oiran Liu Shishi, the first emperor Huizong boasted of his romance, and when he was the prince, he was the biggest gentleman in the world, so he naturally refused to miss it. After seeing Master Liu, he was shocked, and immediately made a poem to praise, "Chang'e is not as good as the beauty makeup, and the jade in the Shuiyue Building is fragrant", so from then on, the king did not come to court early.

I don't want to, I am happy and sad, Huizong is old and weak, and he takes too much "Bliss Joy Pill" when he is happy, and finally gets what he wants, and Bliss goes away happily. But Master Liu has disappeared since then, leaving behind the unlucky owner of Shuiyue Tower.

The first emperor died, and there was chaos in the palace. That night, the childless queen Wang Niangniang secretly discussed with King Kang and King Yue, preparing to support King Kang to ascend the throne, and gathered more than 200 dead soldiers, intending to kill the prince and Yang Jingzhong, the chief of the inner city who supported the prince and held the forbidden army.

Yang Jingzhong, the head of the inner hall who got the secret report, led the forbidden army to protect the prince, and arrested Queen Wang and King Kang, King Yue, and hundreds of their cronies with lightning speed, and then Yang Jingzhong did not hesitate to hang the queen who failed to seize the palace.

In the early morning of the next day, the chief administrator Yang Jingzhong supported the enthronement of His Royal Highness the crown prince Yin Guang. Because of his meritorious service, Yang Jingzhong was crowned by the new emperor as Zhongshu Ling, Chengguo Gong, and respected as "Shang Father".

In fact, before this, the relationship between Chief Manager Yang and Queen Wang was very good, and Queen Wang had many things to discuss with the Chief Manager. Yu Fu doesn't read much, and he really can't understand these intrigues and struggles for power in the court.

————————

Yin Guang glanced back at the little eunuch, "Yu Fu, let's go down, Father Shang is coming soon." The little eunuch who was interrupted from his thoughts quickly and heartily responded.

The two of them slowly came down from the ladder, Yin Guang took his hands, and stood leisurely on His Majesty Dan in front of the Yonghe Palace. Seeing the emperor coming down from the top of the main hall, the workers who were waiting to repair the main hall kowtowed tremblingly, Yin Guang smiled and waved his hand, and Yu Fu stood behind Yin Guang respectfully with the dust in his arms.

In the past, standing beside the emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom was Yang Jingzhong, the chief administrator of the Great Interior, the most powerful eunuch in the empire. Later, the powerful chief steward began to handle the government on behalf of the emperor, and he was very busy every day, so the eunuch next to the new emperor Yin Guang was replaced by the deputy chief Wei Dequan. However, in contrast, the emperor himself preferred to have Yu Fu, a little eunuch who was not very talkative, follow him.

Once, Yu Fu cautiously asked His Majesty the Emperor, how could he like to let himself, a little eunuch who came from the countryside and didn't know anything, follow him every day? His Majesty the Emperor looked at him, knocked a chestnut on his head, and said with a smile: "I just like the way you look like you have never seen the world!" This made Yu Fu quite speechless.

Yang Jingzhong once said to the people around him that he is a boring person, not only boring in appearance, but also boring in life, he is only interested in power and the whole person. If one day, he has no power and can no longer reorganize people, that day he will really die.

The chief of the inner house, who loves to wear purple robes, has a famous sentence that was recorded in the history books by the historians and later circulated through the ages: "The emperor is forbidden to sit in the middle, and foreign affairs are handled by the old slave." This made the emperor himself and his ministers extremely indignant, but the power was sidelined, and the new emperor had to walk around the harem and imperial gardens every day.

As a result, the ministers jointly played a petition and asked the emperor to take over the power of eunuchs. After a few days of trouble, Yang Jingzhong's power was not withdrawn, but some ministers were demoted to magistrates.

Situ Guo Chong was demoted to Longting Road as a strategic envoy. Tang Fulong, the national teacher, was demoted to the three-grade protector and went to Jiangnan Province. Jiang Yongchun, the commander of the imperial guard, was demoted to the rank of general of the fourth rank of Jiangling. Other joint officials were also demoted to the rank of state and county assassins, taishou, governors, and so on.

Yin Guang, the new emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom, may be very dissatisfied with Yang Jingzhong, but Yang Jingzhong is only an autocratic power, and he still has loyalty to the emperor. Moreover, what is not known is that Yang Jingzhong secretly discussed with the emperor before degrading those ministers.

For example, Jiang Yongchun is in Jiangling Prefecture, he can resist the eastward advance of Pingxi King Yinquan, Tang Fulong is in Jiangnan Province, which can prevent Lingnan King Yinchun from going north, and Guo Chong is in Longting Road, responsible for blocking the Great Xia people who may take advantage of the chaos to go south...... The eunuch who seems arrogant and domineering, the cowardly and mediocre emperor, joined forces to play a big game of chess. Obviously, compared to the eunuch dictatorship, the new emperor was more concerned about guarding against those vassal kings who split the land and sealed the territory.

"The old slave sees the emperor. ”

Yin Guang, who was pondering, turned his head, and the tall, ugly-looking white-haired old eunuch in the empire was already standing behind him at some point. The white-haired and purple-clothed old eunuch held the dust, followed by two little eunuchs and two guards with knives.

Looking at the old eunuch who bent down towards Zhengxing, Yin Guang smiled warmly, "Father Shang is exempt from courtesy, Father Shang has worked hard." ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't dare to be it, doing things for the emperor is the responsibility of the old slave, and I don't dare to say that it's hard. Yang Jingzhong, the chief manager, smiled all over his face.

Before the white-haired Ouchi manager could speak, a strong wind suddenly hit behind him. In an instant, the old eunuch's smiling face distorted, and before he could turn back, the dust in his hand swept back with a phoenix swing tail, and the knife that stabbed him in the back of the heart was forcefully missed. The old eunuch calmly turned around, the assassin spun in the air, and the steel knife that flashed with cold light pierced his heart again, but this knife was still an inch away from the old eunuch's heart, but it stopped in mid-air, as if there was an invisible shield in front of him, no matter how much he urged the internal force, he couldn't move forward a single bit.

At the same time, four of the group of craftsmen kneeling on His Majesty Yonghe Diandan flew over like lightning, and together they captured the assassin who had attacked with their knives.

Several guards in front of the gate of the Yonghe Hall also rushed over in a hurry to protect His Majesty the Emperor behind them.

No one expected that the assassin was one of the guards with a knife behind Yang Jingzhong, and the other guard was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled out his knife and pointed it at the back of the bold assassin's heart, but his hand was still shaking.

Yang Jingzhong smiled and stretched out his snow-white slender fingers, and his strength came out, and he pointed at the assassin's acupoint in the air, preventing him from having a chance to seek death.

Only then did the chief of Ouchi slowly pac in front of the assassin, stretched out his snow-white slender fingers again, and slowly tore off the face of the guard with a knife.

Yang Jingzhong slapped the delicate-looking assassin fiercely, the corners of the assassin's mouth were bleeding, and several teeth were knocked out.

The assassin spat at Yang Jingzhong, blood spit on Yang Jingzhong's purple clothes with broken teeth, and scolded with hatred, "I just hate that I didn't kill you, the thief and the faint king." ”

The chief administrator of Ouchi said coldly in a narrow voice unique to eunuchs, "Escort to the Inner Envoy Division, remember, don't let him die, otherwise you will all have to give him his life." ”

The guards agreed, and dragged down the assassin who had hit the hole.

Only then did the old eunuch turn around and smile apologetically at the emperor, "The emperor is frightened, the old slave is guilty, wait for the old slave to go to the internal envoy to personally interrogate and find out the mastermind behind the scenes." The old slave retired. After speaking, he bowed down to the emperor, turned around and walked in the direction of the Inner Envoy.

Watching Yang Jingzhong walk away, Yin Guang, who witnessed this good show, finally retracted his smile and snorted coldly with a straight face, "What a big bait, even assassins can blend into the guard team, is this still a palace?

The angry emperor flicked his sleeves and asked Yu Fu with a gloomy face, "Am I going to go down in history?!" Yu Fu hunched his waist, and he didn't dare to let out his breath.
