Chapter 48 Sing
As soon as Da Honglu's party ended, Cao Jie and other eunuchs returned to the city with Wuyang Wuyang, the lieutenants.
They did not go back to Lishe, but entered the North Palace through Shuoping Gate.
At this time, the country was having fun in Fanglin Garden. Cao Jie, Zhang Rang, and Zhao Zhong were all brewing emotions. As soon as they arrived at the flower garden, they fell to the ground and cried.
Liu Hong, who was eating lychees with Meiren Wang, suddenly burst into tears and shook the lychees from his hand.
He turned his head angrily and saw his waiters and family members lying on the ground.
Liu Hong frowned and threw the lychee in his hand at the nearest Cao Jie:
"Old Cao, what's going on with you? Me and Wang Meiren were just eating the tribute from Yizhou in this garden, and you brought a bunch of people to cry. What do you want to do?"
The lychees were brought by the postman from Yizhou Straight Road. As soon as they were brought into the palace, they were iced and sent to Liu Hong.
Liu Hong ate this for the first time this year. He remembered that Beauty Wang also liked to eat lychees in the past, so he asked her to come with him.
The cool lychee hit Cao Jie's forehead, making him tremble with ice. He didn't answer Liu Hong's words, and just cried louder.
Zhang Rang saw the opportunity and hugged Liu Hong's calf while crawling, crying:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. The servants almost died outside the city. I almost couldn't see Your Majesty."
Liu Hong was startled and hurriedly patted his "mother" on the back to comfort him:
"Who dares to kill my mother, tell me who she is, I am a barbarian of her clan."
Then Zhao Zhong helped. He tore open his clothes, then rolled around on the ground, crying:
"Your Majesty, when I went to visit the mausoleum, I met Yang Qiu, the commander of Sili School. He threatened to kill all the eunuchs like us."
When Liu Hong heard this, he retracted his hand. He sipped a lychee that Beauty Wang had peeled and said with a smile:
"Then aren't you doing fine? Yang Qiu didn't do anything, right."
Zhao Zhong was stunned when he heard this and stopped throwing it. He turned over and cried:
"That's because I have the protection of the country. If it weren't for the country, I would have been killed by thieves." After saying this, he started crying again.
"Okay, okay, please stop for a moment. Don't be in a daze, you guys. Go and support your father and mother. Don't be so sad."
After speaking, Liu Hong asked the waiters on the left and right to help them get on the bed, then ordered Cao Jie and said:
"Old Cao, tell me directly, what are you going to do?"
Liu Hong saw that Cao Jie was the leader of the accident, so he asked Lao Cao directly without hesitation.
Cao Jie knew it was important at this moment, so he wiped away his tears and said sadly:
"Country, this Yang Qiu really can no longer be the Sili Colonel. This person is too cruel, and he often tortures people to death for trivial matters.
If the first three governments report his crime, he should be dismissed from office. Later, he was promoted again because of his trivial achievements in Jiujiang Ping's thieves.
A person who has made mistakes in the first place and is prone to do reckless things, how can he be allowed to become a crouching tiger? ”
Seeing that the country was unmoved, Cao Jie added more fuel to the fire and said:
"Your Majesty, I heard that Yang Qiu tortured the old king and gained all his wealth, but lost it all to Your Majesty. But how did Your Majesty know that Yang Qiu did not take advantage of it?
Besides, we are your Majesty’s domestic slaves and have no heirs. The officials gave us to you just for your Majesty’s temporary storage. The rest are your Majesty’s, so why rely on the help of outsiders? ”
Liu Hong moved unnaturally, and then buried himself completely in Wang Meiren's arms.
This beauty Wang was also from a good family. She was selected into Yeting and was already very beautiful. However, she was so flattering that Liu Hong couldn't bear to get up.
But there is no way, Cao Jie has said this, he has to make a statement.
So he reluctantly got up and helped Cao Jie up, patted Cao Jie's hand and said:
"Old Cao, you are the ones I love, and Yang Qiu is also the one I love. The one who is most saddened by your conflict is me.
Let's do this. I will ask Fang Zheng to take a step back. Isn't he now the captain of the Sili school? I will make him a guard captain and be in charge of my palace. Together with the school captains and Sima, I will guard my left and right.
When the time comes when you work together, you must be very close and work together. ”
Cao Jie, Zhang Rang, and Zhao Zhong fell to the ground and shouted.
In this way, after a while, the edict was drafted by the Chancellor, and Yi Yilang rushed to find Yang Qiu with the edict.
At this moment, the three princes and nine ministers were chatting and laughing in Beimang Mountain. They rarely had leisure time. Now, leaning on Mang Mountain in the north, you can see the prosperity of Kyoto and the world's affairs. This is the style of a son of the public family.
When the young Yilang arrived, Yang Qiu and others were already drunk. He stood up with his sword and looked at the emperors and generals of Beimang Mountain. They were magnificent and magnificent, and sang:
"The awning in the north is coming, ugh! Look at the imperial capital, ugh! The Cui Wei in the palace is here, ugh! The people are working hard, ugh! Liao Liao is still far away, ugh!"
This is the "Five Songs" written by Liang Hong, a hermit in Fufeng. How could everyone not know how to do it? They all stood up, stopped, threw chopsticks, and said in harmony:
"The awning in the north is coming, ugh! Look at the imperial capital, ugh! The Cui Wei in the palace is here, ugh! The people are working hard, ugh! Liao Liao is still far away, ugh!"
The singing voice is loud and clear, showing the character of the Han family.
But when Xiao Yilang rushed up the hill, he sang:
"I moved Qiu as a guard and entered the palace in a hurry."
Of course, the character of the Han family was gone, and the ministers were worried, lost their virginity, or ridiculed, to name a few.
Only the Yang ball was empowered like thunder, and the whole person was numb.
It was not until Xiao Yilang sang the edict three times that he was shaken awake by his colleagues, and then he staggered down the mountain with Xiao Yilang and entered the palace.
In Yiming Hall, Yang Qiu prostrated himself on the floor of the hall, crying to the country:
"I have no noble conduct, and I have been punished by hawks and dogs. Although I have killed Wang Fu and Duan Xi before, and covered up foxes and clowns, it is not enough to declare to the world. I hope that in one month, your majesty will clean up all the false ministers."
After saying that, he kowtowed heavily until he was bleeding.
Watching the Yangqiu cuckoo crying for blood, Liu Hong couldn't bear it. Just when he was about to respond, Cao Jie, who had been standing beside him, scolded:
"Wei Wei, do you want to resist the imperial edict?" These words suddenly awakened Liu Hong from Yang Qiu's wail. Yes, I must be ruthless and can no longer let those foreign ministers look down upon me.
Think about it, if you are cruel, close your eyes and stop looking at the Yang ball.
In this way, Yang Qiu kept pausing in the main hall, and the eunuchs kept scolding him. This happened again and again. Seeing that the country still didn't respond, Yang Qiu was so disheartened that he died.
His hair was disheveled, his mind was wandering, he stumbled over the threshold without realizing it, and staggered all the way off the stage.
Only one song poured into the palace and everyone could hear it:
"I am a native of Hebei in the countryside. When I wake up, I will become like dust. You are planning for the world, so why should I cherish this life."
If you want to listen again, the person has passed away and the song has passed away.
Suddenly, Liu Hong jumped up, pushed down the desk, and walked away with a wave of his sleeves. The Huangmen were trembling and only carried the chariot to send the country all the way to Wang Meiren's place.
Standing on the stage, looking at the unruly figure below, Zhang Rang, the Changchang servant, asked Cao Jie and said:
"Are we going to let him go like this?"
Cao Jie smiled sinisterly, pointed at His Majesty's tiger relief, and said hatefully:
"Old Zhang, it's time for you, so don't say these idiotic words anymore. This Yang Qiu, this is the tiger. If you don't kill the tiger, it will turn back to bite you. So, if you are ruthless, you must be ruthless to the end. ”
Zhao Zhong on the side also spoke with sympathy:
"Our family said that if this tiger becomes a dead tiger, he must be a dead tiger."
Zhang Rang was pessimistic, and the country took a step back. Today's scene has made His Majesty very unhappy. It is still a bit difficult to completely eradicate Yang Qiu.
Who knew, Cao Jie had a plan in mind, he just said:
"I have a plan to ensure that this Yang ball will not escape death."
——
Yang Qiu's face was pale. As the waiter walked on the corridor, many figures came to his mind.
There were teachers Liu He, Chen Qiu, Wang and his son, Duan Taiwei, and he even remembered the county official who insulted his mother when he was young.
At that time, I was running rampant and high-spirited. Thinking about the time I was kowtowing in the palace just now, I could only feel tragic.
Since when, my penis has become like this.
Thinking again of the teacher's smile to me just now and his words, "I believe in you." Yang Qiu couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, wet with tears.
Even when someone kept calling him, he didn't hear him.
Seeing that Yang Qiu couldn't be woken up by shouting, the man gritted his teeth, bent over to the opposite side of Yang Qiu, blocked Yang Qiu, and bowed:
"Sit alone, and disaster will come."
Yang Qiu was blocked by someone, and after taking a closer look, it turned out to be this person. He said happily:
"Mr. Wu, it's you. I didn't expect that I wouldn't see you when I was proud, and when I was frustrated, you would turn to the left and block the road. What a wonderful person."
That's right, this gentleman is none other than Mr. and Mrs. Wu from Xiaohuang Clan. When he found out about this, he came straight to Yang Qiu.
"Yang Qing, stop pretending to be calm. Don't you know that you are in danger?"
Yang Qiu's heart ached, but he still smiled and said:
"You're such a good Mr. and Mrs. Wu, it's okay if you don't come to comfort me. This will make you hate me. Tell me what a big disaster it will be."
Wu and his wife didn't care about Yang Qiu, they just bowed and said:
"You are in such trouble all because you are not keeping secrets. Don't you know that the trouble is caused by Xiao Qiang? How much do your concubines know about your important affairs?"
Yang Qiu is confused, my wife, is he talking about the Cheng family?
This is really unreasonable. This concubine has been with me for many years. How could she sell me? Even if she sells me, how could she know about me?
He also said that I had leaked secrets. Leaking secrets would never happen to me. Could it be that the Wu couple were sent by Zhao Zhong? Both of them are from Hebei!
Thinking of this, Yang Qiu suddenly felt that his mood was waning. I thought I had met a righteous man on the road, but I didn't expect that it was a dog that was like a fly and a dog. It disturbed my mind.
Mr. Wu was such a keen person, and he immediately knew that Yang Qiu had something wrong. If this person has the nature of a hawk and a dog, he is more suspicious than trusting, so I have done what I can, and the rest is his fault.
After saying this, Mr. and Mrs. Wu said no more words, bowed again, and quickly retreated into the alley on the side of the corridor.
This action made Yang Qiu doubt himself again. Could it be that he had really leaked the secret? What does Cheng really know?
Thinking of this, Yang Qiu stopped stumbling and quickly left the palace and returned to Bu Guangli Mansion.
As soon as he returned home, Yang Qiu asked his concubine where his wife was.
His wife died early, and because Mrs. Cheng was with her, she no longer had any thoughts of marrying her again. Therefore, in the past, everyone in Yangzhai regarded Mrs. Cheng as their wife.
When he learned that Mrs. Cheng was in the mulberry house, Yang Qiu went straight to the mulberry house without even bothering to change his clothes. All the way through the pavilion, he was anxious and shouted a few words, but Cheng never responded.
What's going on? Could it be that this bitch really went to report? Thinking of this, a surge of anger surged into his heart.
He opened the door of the mulberry room and saw Mrs. Cheng with a smile as beautiful as a picture. She threw away the female worker in her hands and was about to meet her when Yang Qiu slapped her to the ground.
At this moment, Yang Qiu's mood erupted like a mountain fire. He angrily scolded Mr. Cheng:
"Did you eavesdrop on some secret of mine? What exactly do you know? Why don't you tell me?"
Mrs. Cheng covered her swollen mouth and looked at Yang Qiu in disbelief. She said sadly:
"The slave family doesn't know what you said, and the slave family doesn't know any of your secrets. The slave family only knows that you are going to have a wife."
After saying that, he caressed his lower abdomen and turned away in grievance.
Hearing these words, Yang Qiu collapsed as if struck by lightning. He hugged Cheng, and the two looked at each other and cried.
At this moment, Yang Qiu wondered again, could it really be Mr. and Mrs. Wu who was bullying me?
According to everyone’s suggestions, I will write the upper line with dots in the future and integrate it into the main line. The reason why I wrote the upper line is because only by comparing the upper and lower lines can we see the underlying causes of the Eastern Han Dynasty society. The elites in the court, whether they are eunuchs or the Qingliu Group, are all vying for power and profit. They may not take the plight of the common people seriously and regard it as a means to attack political opponents. In other words, the Eastern Han government at this time was a dysfunctional government.
