Chapter 90: Entering the Ouchi at Night (Part II)
The old eunuch An showed a smug look and a wry smile, and he said in his heart: "But isn't it? If it weren't for the relationship between the emperor and the grandson, how could I agree to that Fang Xiaoru forging the edict?...... Alas, it is said that King Yan is unstable, but after all, he is a descendant of the Zhu family, where can there be any instability? When the first emperor was here, didn't King Yan always fight to the death in the north without a trace of complaints? Well, what this kid said also makes sense. ”
Thinking of this, the old eunuch looked at the jewels on the table again, and said with a little hesitation: "Little Maotou, what is your name? The rule made by the emperor was that all officials who dared to accept bribes would be put to death. ”
Li Feng laughed, stepped forward and said, "The kid's name is Li Feng, and his name is not enough to worry about...... Is this a jewel, where is it a bribe? Could it be that my father-in-law thinks that the filial piety of the younger generation to the gold and silver jewelry of the elders is considered a bribe? This is nothing more than a heart...... The first emperor set an iron law, that was for fear that the court officials would be corrupt and corrupt the court, but your father-in-law is different, even if your father-in-law receives a thousand jewels, he can't affect the government, right?"
The old eunuch An was a little unconvinced: "What? I can't influence the government? Hey, little thief, father-in-law, I will show you in the future...... But yes, I'm the old man next to the emperor, this prince of Yan gave me some jewelry, this is filial piety, not a bribe. "The old eunuch An didn't find out that after Zhu Yuanzhang died, there was already a gap in his heart. It was like a dark cloud, and as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang, who was shrouded in the hearts of all the officials of the Ming Dynasty, died, these officials were all relieved, including this old eunuch.
What I didn't dare to do before, I dare to do it now, and what I didn't dare to think about before, I dare now. Let's just say that before, the old eunuch An didn't dare to think that he would hook up with Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru to forge Zhu Yuanzhang's edict, and he didn't dare to think about it when he was killed, but after Zhu Yuanzhang was destined to die, he actually did it. Then, receiving a little bit of 'filial piety' is naturally not a big problem.
The old eunuch nodded slightly and did not speak. Li Feng grabbed the string of pearls, shook it gently, and said: "Besides, my father-in-law has worked hard by the emperor's side for decades, but now look at it, what kind of place does my father-in-law live? The small courtyard in the west is very dark and damp, and my father-in-law is an old man, even if he can't live in a high-rise building, but at least he must live in a small warm pavilion, right? Otherwise, once the sky is cloudy and rainy, my father-in-law's body can't stand it." ”
The old eunuch raised his head and looked at his small room, and suddenly felt: "Yes, this strong wind is right, this house is really too small." Those who used to obey my orders are now officials, but they are the gate house, and the wife is beautiful. I ......"
Li Feng sighed: "My father-in-law was also a general back then, but now? Just look at Geng Bingwen and the others, who had the prestige of my father-in-law back then?"
The old eunuch An's heart, which had been twisted for decades because of his physical disability, was completely provoked by the words of the strong wind. He stared coldly at the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Feng's last unintentional sentence completely made the old eunuch An's anger come out: "Father-in-law, I heard that you are in charge of the Jinyi Guard, right? Alas, Xiao Ke is not talented, he just hangs a false title of commander, and he has not yet been actually taught, but the kid at least already has a fine house, and there are three guards under his command." And what about you, father-in-law? Just in terms of official rank, father-in-law is also a super-first-class member. And the power in the hands of the father-in-law is even more in the hands of the life and death of the officials in the world, but the father-in-law still lives here?"
The words "Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei......" kept churning in the head of the old eunuch, his eyes became more and more rounded, his right hand grabbed the table, and with a 'snap', a piece of wood was grabbed by him, and then crushed into pieces.
After a long time, the old eunuch An said hoarsely: "That's it, Li Feng, you go back first." Tell the three princes that I have taken on this matter with all my might, and I must let the three highnesses go back. Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru are just children, so they don't need to worry. I accepted this thing unceremoniously from my father-in-law, and I could use it as a reward in the future...... You go back, but don't enter the Forbidden Palace without permission in the future, this is a crime of losing your head. ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Li Feng's mouth, he had a long bow, his body flew upside down to the back, and he opened the door with his backhand, and his body flew out against the crack in the door, and then the door slowly closed.
The old eunuch sat back on the stool, gently stroked and played with the treasures on the table, his face was full of iron, and he had a hideous smile.
Li Feng didn't know that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty accepted bribes on a large scale and used the power of Jinyiwei and the later East and West Factories and Inner Factories to do wrong, but he planted them today. Within a few years, the old eunuch An was secretly calling for wind and rain, doing everything, and those eunuchs under him later took refuge in Zhu Di's father-in-law Lu, and immediately taught Xiao Lizi and the eunuchs who had begun to bribe each other to be more shameless and vicious.
Li Feng stood alone on the top of the highest hall, watching the rain in the sky fall drop by drop, he took a long breath, feeling the heaven and earth full of water's Yuan power. The black light mass circulating in his body swelled rapidly, absorbing the water element force from the outside world, enhancing the strength of all the body tissues of the Mighty Wind Kidney Meridian. The black light gradually expanded, and then enveloped the entire Great True Yuan Cycle of the Powerful Wind. Li Feng's body twisted and disappeared into thin air.
After a pillar of incense, the place where the strong wind was sweating profusely appeared. He knelt on the roof of the hall in surprise and stretched out his hand to God. With a momentary comprehension, he suddenly got the key to 'water escape' in 'Zhou Tian Baolu'. During the period of time when Li Feng's body disappeared, it was as if his body no longer existed, and his entire divine mind was attached to every raindrop, as if those raindrops were his own body. He felt the wonderful sensation of his 'body' falling to the ground one by one and then exploding into pieces, and he felt that he had become like a gentle stream of water.
Suddenly, he had a clearer understanding of what he was going to do. With the heart of the One Yuan Sect as the bone, and the 'Zhou Tian Bao Rong' as the skin and flesh, they complement each other, and they will definitely be able to achieve great success in the future. The mind method of the One Yuan Sect can allow him to quickly increase the power of the true element, and the power of the magical spell of the 'Zhou Tian Bao Rong' can give him great strength. 'Zhou Tian Bao Rong', if only in terms of the power of the rune, far surpasses the rune of the Yiyuan Sect. But if you look at the stability of the foundation, 'Zhou Tian Baorong' is far from being at a disadvantage.
He has the strength of two sects, even if his one-yuan sect mind is only at the entry level, but the future is already unpredictable. Because this entry-level mental method has completely made up for the only deficiency of 'Zhou Tian Baoyang'.
Shaking his body slightly, the fierce wind pounced towards the depths of the palace. He told himself in his heart: "The old eunuch told me not to enter the forbidden palace privately, and I also acquiesced." A manly man, once he says it, the horse is difficult to chase, and he can't sneak into the palace in the future. But now that I haven't gone out, it won't be a breach of my promise to stay in the palace longer...... Oh, there are many books in the palace, and if you don't sneak in and search for them, you're sorry for yourself. ”
Thinking that the kitten happened to enter Chen Lu's cave mansion and got the big baby 'Zhou Tianbao', Li Feng was full of heat. Perhaps, there are equally wonderful books in this palace, but no one has discovered them...... In the meantime, if possible, let's visit Ouchi's treasure house. Although the jewels given to the old eunuch An were taken out by Zhu Xi, and they were also used to get the stolen goods they took in Hangzhou last time, but Li Feng was still distressed, and it was best to get back a little capital.
Like a wisp of black smoke, the fierce wind wandered around the palace lightly, perceiving the breath in each hall with his extremely sensitive divine thoughts. However, he had found a lot of books, but none of them had mana fluctuations. Any book that records magical spells will naturally have a trace of spiritual power attached to it, and Li Feng also relies on this to find treasures. But the results of the search really made him feel discouraged.
Standing helplessly in a dark corner, Li Feng directly aimed at the treasure house of the palace. He muttered: "This time it's a loss, except for buying the old eunuch, but there is no benefit." If I don't take a little more treasure and leave, I'm really losing money. ”
According to the impression of the search just now, Li Feng ran to the front of the courtyard where the Ouchi treasure house was located. He had just glanced at it, and the gate of the treasure house was in the middle of a small archway, and there were several small rooms in the courtyard, which seemed to be the residence of the keepers and cleaners of the treasure house.
The wind landed lightly in the courtyard and approached the heavy gate of the treasure house. Using Zhenyuan to probe along the gate for a while, Li Feng couldn't help but be speechless: "The gate of this treasure house is at least two feet thick, and it is still made of deep-sea cold iron, which is really outrageous." Well, entering Baoshan and returning empty, is not my style of vigorous style. Anyway, you're going to have to go in and take advantage of it. It looks like the gate is on the ground, but the treasure house is underground, and this fellow Taoist doesn't know how long it is, can you enter through the gate?"
A light suddenly lit up in a side room. Li Feng was slightly surprised in his heart, he looked at the sky, all the people should have fallen asleep? Could it be that the person found out about his movements? How could this be reasonable, if this is the case, the person will either shout loudly, or directly pounce on the person to arrest the person, where will the oil lamp suddenly be lit?
Li Feng moved lightly closer to the side room, then poked a head out from under the windowsill, licked it lightly with his tongue on the window paper, revealing a small hole, and looked inside. An old eunuch with a face like a skeleton was getting dressed, and the old eunuch was still muttering: "Alas, it's time again, why hasn't he come yet? Isn't it an appointment? As long as the letter is spent, he will come...... But if the time is agreed at this time, wouldn't it be a toss for my father-in-law and me?"
The old eunuch was so old that he was so old that his hair had fallen out, and there were only about a thousand hairs, and he had a very small bun on the top of his head. He grabbed a hat, put it on his head, and then went barefoot into bed and sat down on a stool where the paint had almost peeled off. After a while, it seemed that he felt a little cold, complained a few words, grabbed his shoes and put them on.
Li Feng outside frowned secretly: "I thought this old guy had found me, who knew he was waiting for someone." Alas, who are you waiting for? He actually made an appointment to come so late at night, could it be that this old guy is a good friend? But no, I don't say that this old guy is a eunuch, even if he is a fake eunuch, he looks at least a hundred years old, could it be that he can still have sex?"
The old eunuch poured himself a cup of tea, took it and covered it with his palm for a while, looked at the light in front of him attentively, and after a while, he muttered: "Alas, the emperor is dead." What should I do if I leave this mess behind? At that time, I told him not to seal too many princes, otherwise it would be a disaster sooner or later. But he only believes in his children and grandchildren, alas, he doesn't listen to the old man...... Now he is one step ahead of my father-in-law, and he wants me to help him pass the word, why is this the reason?"
Li Feng was shocked when he heard this: "What is this old eunuch doing? Listening to his tone, how can it seem that Zhu Yuanzhang still trusts him so much? Can he speak in front of Zhu Yuanzhang? This is a rare person." However, maybe it was because he said that he would not be the king of the domain, so he was sent here to watch the gate, right?"
The old eunuch stood up, walked around the room slowly, and muttered, "Alas, you died quickly, leaving all the trouble to me." You don't even know who you want to put on the throne, isn't it a mess of confused accounts? The emperor's grandson, if it is a peaceful and prosperous era, he is a good person who governs the world, but he is too young and too easy to be controlled by the ministers, especially now that it is a peaceful and prosperous era? The north is still at war......"
"King Yan, he is very capable, but if he becomes the emperor, the people will inevitably be a little more bitter. Especially the emperor's grandson is the orthodox heir, and King Yan may not be able to suppress the leisurely mouth of the Confucian scholars in the world...... Wouldn't it be convenient to kill all the scholars in the world when they beat away Yuanmeng? Then Confucianism, hehe, if Confucianism was really useful, it would not have been thousands of years when the entire Central Plains was pressed and beaten by those barbarians. ”
"If you listen to me, at that time, taking advantage of the war, you will change to the Mohists, Legalists, and soldiers, and abolish Confucianism, wouldn't it be convenient for King Yan to come to power now, and the people of the world will not gossip?"
Li Feng was covered in cold sweat when he heard this, this old man was too ruthless, and he killed all the scholars in the world, respected the Mo family, the Legalists, and the soldiers, and then King Yan was indeed the most ideal person to take over the throne, but with this big knife, how many heads would fall to the ground? Li Feng couldn't help but be curious, who was waiting here late at night? It was really embarrassing to see where he was, just next to the door, Li Feng simply went around to the back of the house, and continued to peep through the back window.
The old eunuch sat back on the bench, and after a while, he took out a bag of peanuts from the drawer beside him, and ate them one by one.
Li Feng was bored, counting how many peanuts the old eunuch had eaten. 'One, two, three...... and when the wind was counted to one hundred and seventy-three, there was a slight knock on the door, a gust of wind blew, the lamp swayed, and a tall man had already arrived in the house. Li Feng couldn't help but be horrified, he didn't see how the man got in. He could only comfort himself: "It's the problem that the lights are flickering, not my eyes." ”
The old eunuch smiled, but he did not stand up, but sat down and said, "You are here, but we haven't seen each other for twenty years?...... Those disciples and grandchildren of yours are now famous, that is, yourself, where have you gone?...... Hehe, you don't look old. ”
Li Feng could only see one of the man's backs, slightly hunchbacked, but just like that, he was more than nine feet tall, and his two long arms were almost hanging down to his knees. From behind, the man's ears were also extremely long, his hands were huge, his skin was as white as jade, and he exuded a strange and charming aura in the light.
The old man's voice rang out, and the man sat down on a stool: "When you sent me the letter, I had just crossed the highest snow-capped mountain in Tibetan Province and arrived at Tianzhu...... It's amazing over there, and those ascetics have a lot of ability. I could have arrived a day earlier, but after comparing myself to one of their monks named Baoshu Dragon Elephant, I was too late. ”
The old eunuch laughed, pushed the peanuts in front of him, and asked, "With your cultivation, do you have to waste a day?"
The man's fan-like hand grabbed a handful of peanuts, put them in his mouth and chewed them, and said a little vaguely: "There are people outside the person, and that person's cultivation is not bad." Besides, I wanted to see what magical spells they had, so I was a little late...... However, this only wasted half a day's effort, and half a day was used to escape. ”
The old eunuch's voice was very surprised: "Flee?"
The man laughed: "Tianzhu, a big country, in the past, it was said that Master Sanzang learned scriptures, and it was a good place there." But now, their people are a little ...... I defeated the treasure tree dragon elephant, and then hundreds of ascetics attacked in groups, and I didn't want to hurt anyone, so I had to flee in the wilderness. Hehe, the last 3,000 Brahmin monks are in a big formation under Everest, and they have to kill me. The old Taoist priest is smart, I can see the murderous aura ahead, and I have gone around thousands of miles from afar, otherwise you can only wait for the ghost of the old Taoist priest to come back and report the news. ”
