Chapter 20: An Unexpected Encounter

The door closed, and Li Er bowed behind the screen and bowed.

The boy spun out from behind the screen.

"Young Master. ”

"Well, have you seen Yun Lao, what is his condition?" the young man asked.

Li Erdao: "There are two people with fresh faces waiting to prevent outsiders from approaching, and the subordinates have not seen Yun Lao, I heard Yun Jiu'er from the 'Fengyun Hall' say that he has just taken medicine and is getting better, and he is now asleep." ”

"Oh. The young man replied casually, what he wanted to say was not said after all, and after a while, he waved his hand, and Li Erzhi immediately bowed and retired. After Li Er left, the young man stood back on the table, picked up the pen and paper and wrote absentmindedly, a piece of rice paper was soon filled with crooked and disorganized 'words', the young man picked up the rice paper and slowly tore it apart, and then stacked two pieces of rice paper in one place and tore it again, and so on until the paper was thick and could no longer be torn. Then he dipped the ink again and put pen to paper, shredded it again, wrote and tore and tore and wrote again, wasting a dozen or so pieces of paper, and then he stopped and slowly sat back in his chair.

"Sure enough, he went, he did, did it, did it have to be like this, did it have to be like this?" he asked himself, but he couldn't answer himself.

"Brother, they say that you are the emperor, how big an official is the emperor?" This was the first sentence he said after entering the palace and saluting, which made the entourage startled. Although they are princes, how can their father not be favored by the emperor's grandfather, and even they spent their childhood in countless pairs of white eyes, not only limited reading, but also less clear about royal etiquette, to put it bluntly, the old emperor did not plan to let them inherit the unification at all. Later, their father died within a few days of becoming emperor, so their pair of princes sounded good rather than princes.

"The emperor is a great official, there are ...... So big, no, even bigger, the biggest and biggest official. The Emperor gestured to his brother as he spoke.

"Brother, will no one dare to bully you after that?"

"Well, in the future, my brother will protect you, and whoever wants to bully you tells my brother, I will spank them. The elder brother walked on his younger brother's shoulder, and behind him were a group of eunuchs, palace maids, guards, and the old men of the Ministry of Rites.

"Well, spank them. Before he finished speaking, he said the second half of the sentence in the astonishment of the Ministry of Rites, the palace maids, the guards, and the eunuchs. "Brother, I want to be the emperor too. ”

The old man of the Ministry of Rites fell to the ground, trembling and barely able to get up, and then they heard an even more incredible sentence from the new emperor: "Wait for a few years when you grow up, brother will give you ......"

That year, he was ten years old, his father died and the imperial brother ascended the throne, and the confused words when he was excited can be said to be childish, and after a few years, after reading a lot of books and gradually understanding things, whenever he recalled this matter, he didn't feel cold sweat, and even when he saw the imperial brother and sister-in-law, it became unnatural, but the imperial brother is still the royal brother with a pleasant face, and the imperial sister-in-law (queen) is still his imperial sister-in-law, he may not be a good emperor, but he is really his good brother.

The young man's mind turned, and the pen in his hand snapped due to excessive force, and he said to himself in a trembling voice: "Although the throne is good, he ...... It's my brother. "Not born of the same mother, but like the brother of his own brother.

Royal Palace, in the afternoon.

A young man in black in his twenties walked into the palace with square steps, the whole palace counted the emperor, queens, concubines, eunuchs, palace maids, guards, I don't know how many people go in and out of the palace a day, I don't know how many people can walk so leisurely in the palace, so indifferent to look at the palace This is the only one, who can accommodate this kind of guard on errands, looking at the ancient and modern emperors, I dare not say that this is the only one.

"Lord Xu. ”

"Your Excellency. ”

Several guards on patrol hurriedly bowed.

"Hmm. The man in black answered, stretched out his hand to straighten the collar of the two guards led by him, nodded with a smile, his face was amiable, the two were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated, the man in black reached out and patted the shoulders of the two gently, and the two guards were so frightened that their legs were weak and they almost fell to their knees.

"Do a good job, maybe the next Ouchi No. 1 master will be yours. The man in black encouraged him.

"Fourth brother, are you crazy enough? This is the palace, you are serious. "A group of guards strode in, led by a majestic man of magnificence and splendid clothing, and evidently of extraordinary status.

"Obey the order~~~, Lord Commander, next time my subordinates will even bring some pillows. "Lord Black-clothed was extremely 'respectful'.

"Pillow?" the Commander didn't understand for a moment.

"Yes, doesn't the commander want a pillow?How can you make it without a pillow?"

The commander's face flashed a trace of gloom and said: "Where have you gone, the emperor heard that your master has a mystical immortal technique that can cure all diseases and wants to see you, do you go or not?"

"Go, of course. "The black-clothed lord didn't pay attention to his boss, turned around and walked all the way towards the 'Xihe Palace' where the emperor lived.

"Pampered and arrogant, disrespectful, look at the villain's ambition, what a thing. The 'Dragon Guard' commander scolded through gritted teeth.

"Commander, you seem to have a nosebleed. ”

"Really?" the commander wiped his nose, the tentacles were red and it was blood, and one of his subordinates hurriedly tore off a piece ......of his shirt and handed it over, the commander wiped the nosebleed, and just about to continue patrolling, he was bleeding from his nose again.

In the 'Xihe Palace', the emperor was lying on the bed, and the four imperial doctors took turns to check the pulse for the emperor, arguing about the prescription, and the four of them were dissatisfied with each other, and they all felt that they were superior.

"Your Majesty, the guards ask to see you. A eunuch who was waiting outside said.

"Come in!" said the Emperor's voice with a hint of joy.

The weather was hot, the door was not closed, the light at the door was dimmed, and the black-clothed Lord Yu walked in slowly, he glanced at the four imperial doctors, and did not kneel down to the emperor until he sat down at the end of the bed.

The emperor sat up a little, stretched out his hand and grabbed the hand of the guard, and said: "Impermanence, I heard that your master, the 'Heavenly Tiger Dao Master', knows how to treat immortals and can be good at any disease, is there such a thing?" It turns out that the black-clothed Lord is named Impermanence, and this is a very weird and gloomy name, this name originally belonged to the underworld, but now it is called loudly in the world. Impermanence, the fourth among the top ten masters of the 'Dragon Guard', the martial arts are extremely high and changeable, and the means are even more unpredictable.

Xuan Wuchang didn't give face at all and said: "He knows the magic of a fart, but he is a barefoot doctor, and he is lucky to see a few terminal diseases, this old guy boasts, the patient believes him and treats his words as a holy decree, and he is half cured of his own illness, and he has to take all the credit on his own head, I have never seen such a shameless person." ”

"Ahem~, impermanence, your master's immortal ...... How much have you learned medical skills?" The emperor did not take the words of impermanence to heart at all, and still firmly believed that the 'Heavenly Tiger Dao Chief' immortal skills were extraordinary and could cure all diseases.

"A little half, I studied medicine for the convenience of killing, not for curing diseases. Xuan Wuchang glanced back at the four imperial doctors and continued, "But it's better than a few of them." ”

The emperor was overjoyed and said, "The imperial doctors said that I am weak, so please help me see what tonic I need to take." ”

Yu Wuchang said: "You don't need to take any medicine, it's natural to not touch a woman for a month, eat less meat and bask in the sun." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment and said, "It's that simple?"

After the imperial doctors left, the emperor closed the door and turned around mysteriously and said, "It's that simple." ”

The emperor thought that he had some ulterior elixir, but he didn't expect the answer to be so disappointing, he didn't want to find a cure for impermanence, the so-called 'Heavenly Tiger Dao Chief' immortal Yunyun was just a pretense for outsiders to see, and after sending away the imperial doctor, the emperor immediately sat up and said: "There is something I want you to help me take the doctrine." ”

He had never seen the emperor so solemn, so it could be seen that it must be a big deal, so he immediately put away his attitude and said seriously: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

The emperor stared at him and asked, "Since last year, you seem to be getting closer and closer to Wu Jingguo and the others, can I still trust you now?"

He smiled impermanently, sat at the end of the bed again, lay on the bed with the back of his head in his hands, and said, "Doesn't the emperor also trust the governor?"

The emperor frowned, obviously the impermanence of the answer did not satisfy him, but he was easy-going by nature and did not care, since he couldn't speak, he first expressed his attitude and said: "I am a stupid person, I can't read and read, so many useful and useless pieces in a day can't be finished, the ministers can't move the ancestral rules at every turn, the country and the society, who knows if what they say is true or false, I can't calculate them, I can't say them, I can make it a lot easier to have someone to help me do things, you know, I don't like to be an emperor, it's the same as going to prison." ”

Yu Wuchang smiled: "This is said as if the emperor has been in prison." ”

The Emperor said, "You haven't answered my question yet. ”

Fu Wuchang smiled: "Life is always impermanent, life is impermanent, death is impermanent, the world is full of accidents, sadness, unexpected, joy and accidents, today can not be trusted, today may not be trusted, today may not be believed, tomorrow can not be believed, just like the governor of the year supported the king against the emperor, how could he have thought that the emperor would be so important to him after ascending the throne." So the emperor's question is a problem, and in addition to making himself even more unideaful, the only thing he can get is deception. ”

The emperor said: "The 'Inner Governor's Mansion' falsely preaches the holy decree, the army is forbidden to eat empty salaries at the border gates, and the taxes are greedy every year, have there been fewer things to deceive me in the past few years?"

Yu Wuchang said with a smile: "It turns out that the emperor knows it, it seems that the emperor still has a grudge against the affairs of the past, otherwise there is no need to guard against the governor." ”

The emperor said: "I am stupid, not stupid, I can't solve these things, it's better not to move than toss in vain, the court can be more stable, I will be satisfied, as for being a generation of Ming Jun to create a great cause for a thousand years, I have not thought about it, nor am I interested." I only ask you one thing, are you towards me or towards Wu Jingguo?"

"Of course...... Towards the silver, the emperor doesn't like to be the emperor, and impermanence doesn't like to be a guard, but it's just a matter of doing things with silver, and the 'Dragon Guard' is no different from selling fried fritters for the same purpose. "Impermanence.

The emperor's face suddenly turned ugly, and he continued: "However, you sent my money. ”

The emperor's face suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny again, and said: "When I recruited you into the palace, you liked to talk like this, but now a few years have passed, and you haven't changed at all, so it's not in vain for me to spoil you." "Titles and claims have changed again.

He sat up and said, "Your Majesty, this joke can't be made, and it will make people misunderstand that I can't marry a daughter-in-law in my life." ”

The emperor smiled and said: "Our monarchs and ministers came together to help and support each other from the difficult situation, which is a good beginning, and I hope that we will live up to this relationship with each other in the future, and we can have a good ending, which will be passed down as a good story." He took out a few letters from under the pillow, which were written by Ren Siqian (xie two tones), the secretary of the 'Ministry of War', Ren Siqian is the righteous son of Wu Jingguo, and the two of them wear a pair of pants together, no wonder the emperor did not dare to call Wu Jingguo to discuss. Yu Wuchang didn't answer the emperor's words, he only took the chapter and looked at it carefully, and he quoted a lot of scriptures and classics, and summed it up with only one meaning.

"Exterminate the 'Six Dragons Gang'?" asked in surprise.
