Chapter 72 Who Said Eunuchs Are Useless
In order not to lose too badly in this dispute, Lu Jue started to make multiple preparations. The reversal of Qi Zhongzong must be one of his choice. There is no doubt that his bet this time was quite expensive. If Qi Zhongzong could calm down and let them fight both sides, then there would be nothing left! The father and son were the father and son for many years, and the bloodlines were connected to Lu Jue clearly understood his nature. Zhongzong has been waiting for so many years, and it would never be possible to miss such an excellent opportunity. The forces in the court divided multiple times, and he faced more than one Wanyan Lie. If he let himself die now, he would have to worry about fighting those people. So this move is the key to Lu Jue's life! He will naturally find someone who is sincere to him to complete this most important task.
Yao Minghao was also dedicated and ruthless, and he rushed to the capital in just five days. But even so, when he arrived at Xuande Gate, the main gate of the palace, the curfew time had arrived, the palace gate had been closed. His good brother Lu Jue's life and the fate of Da Qi were in his hands, and he didn't care whether it was regular or not to behave in the rules and relied on his father's merits.
The gatekeeper knew what kind of identity he was, so naturally he was tactful and no one went to stop him. He arrived at the Yonggan Palace of the Emperor's Bedroom without any obstacles.
But when he arrived at Yonggan Palace, he met the person who gave him the most headache, the eunuch general manager Yang Wei. Apart from the ancestor in his family, this person made him somewhat afraid. For Lu Jue, he endured Yang Wei's sarcasm, scolded him with a smile, and said a lot of good words, but this person just couldn't get in and didn't have any words.
Yao Minghao clenched his fists, suppressed the anger that was about to gush out, and pointed at his face with a smile and said, "Eunuch Yang, don't you know me! I, Yao Minghao, the great-grandson of the Duke of Protecting the Country, Yao Minghao, please give up your hand, let me in and meet the saint! I really have something very important to meet the emperor! Please, please." He bowed several times in a row.
Yao Minghao was a domineering master in the capital back then. Although he had learned well in the past two years, a young boy who had just reached the crown would have a clan and a father's contribution! Yang Wei was afraid that he would bump into the sage for a moment, so he slowly refused: "The young general is so good at joking! The young master is the golden body of the sage, and he saw him as soon as he saw him. Long live, he had already fallen asleep. How many heads do you have to disturb the sage? Listen to the advice of the old slave, no matter what, the morning court will be requested tomorrow!" He glanced at him, swung the whisk, hung it on his arm and turned around and left.
"Hey, hey, Eunuch Yang, don't leave!" Yao Minghao resisted the urge to rush up and beat someone up. He knew that this was not the time when he was causing trouble. He gritted his teeth and smiled, chased him for a few steps to block Yang Wei's way, folded his hands together, bowed repeatedly, begging: "This matter really cannot be waited, so Eunuch Yang will run! Life is at stake. I have been delayed for several days on the road. If I delay it until tomorrow, I am afraid my elder brother will be in danger! Please, please."
Seeing that he was covered in dust, Yang Wei looked like he was lying, and his mind moved slightly. But he was teased by this person not once or twice. Even if he was determined to help him, he was afraid of the boy's words, so he decided to be cautious. He drooped his eyelids and asked slowly: "Then the young general might as well talk to me first, let me hear who is the matter of life that is important to the world, and see if it is worth disturbing!"
Seeing that he was so slow, Yao Minghao could no longer hold back his anger. He said a big cart of good words, but this man didn't listen to a word. He widened his eyes, raised his finger and poked Yang Wei's chest, and gritted his teeth and said, "Oh, you are a deaf person. I have been saying good things for a long time, but you didn't listen to a word in your ears. Aren't you just a eunuch? Isn't you just a job in front of the emperor? What's so amazing? Why should I tell you about this big thing to you, a dead eunuch? What are you old? Look at your stunning appearance, I called you "Eunuch Yang to give you a face, and really treat yourself as a scallion. Have you never heard that? You can't do anything in your mouth. If you don't have a doorman in your mouth and sneak out and hurt my elder brother's life, can you afford to pay for it?" He was cursing, but he didn't know that he almost missed the matter.
Yang Wei was so angry that he didn't savor it carefully. He wanted to help him, so he just did it now. He raised the whisk and pointed at Yao Minghao and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you are a ungrateful little thing, let us show you how much we speak!" He turned his head and ordered the guards of the imperial guards on both sides and left and right: "Come on, let's break this thing that doesn't understand the rules at night, and put it down!"
"Yes" several imperial guards took the order and stepped forward to press Yao Minghao to the ground and dragged him out of the hall.
Yao Minghao struggled while shouting: "Okay, you dead eunuch, wait, I will never let you go..."
Yang Wei snorted and waved his hand, "Hurry up and knock this person out." After saying that, he ignored it and looked at everything with no expression. Yang Wei is an old man in the palace. He has served two generations of kings, and even the prince and the empress even called Eunuch Yang. Unexpectedly, he was angry today by a young boy and became petty. Didn't you say that eunuchs are useless? Then let's see who has the final say!
Yao Minghao was not willing to be outdone and stretched his neck, stared at his eyes, and cursed: "Okay, you are a dead eunuch, you are a dead eunuch, you are a dead eunuch, are you not allowed to see the emperor today, okay, okay, I warn you, if this is a step late, what if my elder brother has, I will chop you up and throw it into the flowerbed to make flower fat!"
Hearing his big brother, Yang Wei was stunned. Who doesn’t know that the entire capital is the only one in the Yao family, and where did Yao Minghao come from?
My thoughts went back two years ago. Yao Minghao was a dominant in the capital. Although he had a small mistake, he had no major mistakes. Yao Gongzhi turned a blind eye and let him not force him to discipline him. But who knew that once he was loyal and vented his anger for his friend, and he was too heavy to kill him. This made Yao Gongzhi completely angry and pulled Yao Minghao with a steel knife and asked him to pay his life! Fortunately, Lu Jue arrived in time, otherwise he would be the one who would be yelling here at this time.
Because of Lu Jue's plea, Yao Minghao was able to save his life and was exempted from a death penalty. Although he was beaten by dozens of military sticks and was in prison for two years, Lu Jue made him greatly change his views on these literati. When he was in prison, Lu Jue comforted him more, and Xiao Zhi was moved to preach with reason and emotion. Yao Minghao somehow admired him very much. Times have changed, and the first thing Yao Minghao did when he was released from prison was to force Lu Jue to imitate Liu Guanzhang and become sworn brothers with him. I don't know where he found a place with pleasant scenery and peach blossoms, and put up an incense table to join the Taoyuan Second Mercedes. One of them is a young talent, and a young official is a second-rank official and a famous general. The orphans of the martyrs were still well-known for a period of time!
Yao Minghao's big brother reminded Yang Wei of Lu Jue. What is Lu Jue's identity? Yang Wei has served the emperor for more than a day or two. He has long known it. He knows the current priest's temper and nature, and he also understands the incompetent princes, and naturally understands what choice will Qi Zhongzong make. He glared at Yao Minghao, waved his hand to signal the imperial guards to retreat, and walked to Yao Minghao, who was holding the big pillar for fear of being pulled away again. He poked his shoulder with a whisk and asked: "I ask you, the eldest brother you mentioned is Lu Jue, the minister of Dali Temple?"
Seeing that no one came forward again, Yao Minghao let go of Zhuzi's arm, moved his movements, raised his eyes and grinned, "No, who else? I, Yao Minghao, have been convinced by him in my life!" After saying that, he did not forget to shave Yang Wei fiercely.
This was not a big deal. Yang Wei glared at the ignorant person, gave him a whisk, and said angrily: "You are something that is not enough to make a mistake. If you told us earlier, you would have to make trouble at this time!"
When he heard that something had turned around, Yao Minghao's eyes shone and he smiled and asked, "Dad father-in-law agreed!"
Yang Wei snorted, gave him a blank look, and said sarcastically: "Of course, if our family is not right, you would throw our family into the flowerbed to make flower fat!"
Yao Minghao hummed and laughed twice, immediately accompanied him to smile and apologize: "I'm sorry, sorry, my child, don't bother with me. I'll bow to you, and you'll never care about your childhood." He bowed several times in succession
Yang Wei was amused by his appearance, raised the whisk and made a punch on his head, not asking him to make a fool of himself, waved at him and said, "You are waiting for summons here, we will give you the opportunity to go."
Yao Minghao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said several times: "Yes, yes..."
Yang Wei couldn't help but smile again when he saw his virtue. This kid turned against him faster than flipping books. He just wanted to fight and kill him, but now he is smiling again. He is really moody! He slammed the whisk and his arms, turned around and pushed the door into Yonggan Palace.
At this time, Yao Minghao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He now only hopes that the emperor can believe his words, and hopes that what Lu Jue taught him can help him escape from suffering. The more he is, the more he looks at the closed hall gate with full expectations!
It was so long for him in just a cup of tea. Just when he was a little uneasy, the gate of Yonggan Palace was also opened. The sound of opening the door made his eyelids jump. He saw a palace maid wearing a water-pink chest-length skirt coming out from it. At the same time, the news that Yao Minghao wanted most came. Yao Minghao quickly stood up straight and tidyed up his clothes. After the thanks, he stepped into Yonggan Palace with the palace maids.
As the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, Yao Minghao, who had been in the palace for half a year, also learned to abide by etiquette; he also learned a lot of rules. He stepped into the bedroom and looked at him without looking sideways. He walked to the center and knelt on his knees and said loudly: "Long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live." Then he leaned over and knocked on the ground.
At this time, Qi Zhongzong was sitting on the couch chair in the center of the hall wearing a fur cloak, looking a little tired. He looked at Yao Minghao who was leaning over the ground and said, "Let's go flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yao Minghao bowed again before he got up, retreated to the side in a manner, and tilted his head slightly as he looked at Qi Zhongzong's expression change.
But Qi Zhongzong didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. He slowly drank two sips of ginseng tea before he slowly asked: "I sent you to protect Lu Qing's safety, but you dared to return alone. What kind of life-related matter has happened? You need to break into the Forbidden Palace at night!"
Yao Minghao took a step forward and said respectfully: "Sage Rong Bing, this is the case,,,,,,," He talked about the causes and consequences of everything that happened in Hangzhou to Zhongzong one by one, and observed Zhongzong's expression. When it came to the death of King Zhu Xian of Qi, Qi Zhongzong closed his lips and clenched his fists tightly on the couch chair.
Seeing this situation, Yao Minghao was completely unsure, and he was afraid that Zhongzong would use this matter as an excuse to make up his mind to use Lu Jue to vent his anger. After all, the one who died was his son, and the other was his own younger brother. Even if he was disobedient or obscene, who would give up his relatives and protect him at this time?
After saying that, Yao Minghao was so discouraged that he lowered his head and retreated aside, secretly scolding himself for not being able to save Lu Jue, but instead harming him.
"How is Lu Qing now?" Just now what Yao Minghao said, Zhongzong could hear clearly and know very well in his heart what he should do at this time! It was not that he would not feel heartbroken if he lost his son, nor that he did not love his son. The situation forced him to do his best to protect Lu Jue, because only he had the means to restrain that ambitious person, otherwise he would be immune!
When Yao Minghao heard the question of Zhongzong and saw hope, he took a deep breath and told Lu Jue what he taught him, saying "Reporting to the emperor, the temple minister said that it is the best time to regain the military power in King Luo's hands. Jin and Meng have already had civil strife at this time and have no time to invade the border again. Although the border crisis has been temporarily resolved, he is still careless. Only when His Majesty regained the military power and dispatched troops, can the country be restored to peace. The King of Qi is dead and cannot be resurrected, but he can do the inducement of this thing. The temple minister is willing to catch this big fish for His Majesty and press this person in Hangzhou. I hope Your Majesty will not hesitate and miss the opportunity. If there is any possibility of death, I will not be able to rest in peace!"
Yang Wei immediately added a fire and said, "Long live, don't think about it anymore. You must not lose your opportunity. You have nothing to do with the people. You can stand by and watch in order to protect yourself. Because with your talent, you will definitely make a difference no matter which court you are in. It is not easy to help Your Majesty. Long live, don't let your Majesty fight alone, if there is anything that is unimaginable!"
It turns out that this old boy is from his side. Although Yao Minghao is serious, after hearing these words from Yang Wei, he really wants to give him a thumbs up and flatter him.
How could Zhongzong not understand the truth when he was a emperor? He supported his hands on his knees and barely supported his body. He immediately ordered: "Yao Minghao obeys the order."
Yao Minghao immediately became energetic and immediately knelt on one knee on the ground, saying, "I'm here."
Zhongzong said: "You will immediately bring your great-grandfather and the right prime minister Ma Chengqian, Han Hou, to the palace quickly."
"I received the order." If you have hope to save Lu Jue, Yao Minghao couldn't suppress the joy in his heart. He forgot the rules and turned around and ran out.
After Yao Minghao left, Zhongzong said with red eyes: "What a Lu Jue! I shouldn't have been back then,,,,,,,,,"
Hearing this, Yang Wei coughed twice and interrupted him, reached out to lift the fur and cloak for Zhongzong, bent down and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what you said is true. It is an indisputable fact that Your Majesty is dead. Your Majesty's hatred cannot be changed. At this time, what Your Majesty wants to do is to eliminate future troubles. Now the only way is to protect the Lord of the Temple. Even if the death of the King of Qi is really done by the Lord, I must swallow this breath!"
After hearing this, Zhongzong fell into deep thought. How could he not know all this? But what he was most worried about now was that success or failure was Xiao He. But now is not the time to hesitate to subvert Jiangshan. He thought about it and stood up with Yang Wei's hand and said, "Yang Wei, come and take the imperial seal, I will issue an order in person!"
"Yes" Yang Wei took the order and retreated.
Two hours later, Yao Minghao held the imperial edict and rode a fast horse out of Beijing first!
The following were the right prime minister Ma Chengqian, the Korean guard Han Shao, the eunuch Yang Wei, the imperial guard commander Zuo Jizhong, and the five thousand imperial guards and the ceremonial guards of the prince of the Eastern Palace.
It was a huge exodus from Beijing overnight and heading straight for Hangzhou.
