Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

"Ah! Is the injury serious?" The queen was about to stand up in a hurry.Concubine Yi hastily pulled her sleeve lightly, lost her eyes, and said unhurriedly: "Little Sanzi, have you finished dealing with the outside affairs? Recently, I heard that bandits in the suburbs of Beijing are making trouble. It's so bad, you brought so much silver and came back all the way, don't you feel scared in your heart?"

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid to death. But no matter what, the slave will be driven back at this time."

"Oh why?"

"Because the Emperor Daxing has just left, and the servant is concerned about the Queen Mother and master, so he will come back to pay respects to the Queen Mother Yian even if he loses his life!"

After saying this, Xiao Ran fell to the ground and howled dryly.The faces of Sushun's eight ministers immediately changed, which was clearly alluding to the Shangyu.Concubine Yi wanted exactly this sentence, and immediately sneered and said: "Poor, it's a pity! I can't think of a slave who is so loyal. Thanks to some people, high-ranking officials and rich salaries are not even as good as a slave!"

Sushun's white face couldn't help but flushed at this time, and he said loudly: "Qi Zou Yi Taigui Concubine: A slave is short-sighted and ignorant; but a minister must care about the world. How can the two be compared?" ?”

Before the Queen could speak to Concubine Yi, Xiao Ran suddenly stopped crying, looked at Su Shun and said, "Su Zhongtang, your voice is so loud! Look at the ashes on the beam, you have been shaken down!"

Without waiting for Sushun to speak, Duanhua shouted: "What a bold servant, when will you have the part to speak in the court! Someone, drag him down and behead him!"

The guards with knives in front of the hall rushed up, Xiao Ran showed no fear, just smiled and looked at Su Shun and said: "Su Zhongtang, do you mean the same?"

Su Shun stared at Xiao Ran stubbornly, his eyebrows twitched, and said in a deep voice, "Let him finish his sentence."

"Well, Master Zhongtang is more knowledgeable!" Xiao Ran raised his thumb and said, "That's not true, it's just that this slave is on a business trip and brought back a few small gifts, which he wants to give to Master Zhongtang and the two princes. They are considered slaves. Please show some kindness. We are old friends, so please don't refuse!"

Duan Hua froze for a moment, then said, "A gift? I also have a share?"

"Hey, it's just some worthless gadgets, I'm afraid the slave won't be able to get them out!"

While speaking, Xiao Ran reached into his bosom, took out a cloth bag, shook his hand casually, and quite a few small objects fell out.There are finger-wrench bracelets, agate beads, and some gold and silver ornaments.Falling to the ground, the ding ding dong dong sounded non-stop.

The morning sun slanted into the main hall and shone on the scattered jade stones, emitting a dazzling light.Just looking at the fineness, it is known that it is worth a lot.Sushun, Zaiyuan, and Duanhua seemed to be slapped on the head, and their expressions changed drastically. Zaiyuan staggered over, grabbed a bunch of bracelets, and said no tremblingly. Speak up.

Su Shun was stunned for a while, then roared fiercely, his eyes widened with anger, he stretched out his two arms and rushed towards Xiao Ran.Duan Hua hurriedly hugged his waist, Zai Yuan desperately grabbed his arm, the three of them couldn't stand, they rolled into a ball on the hall.The rest of the people including the queen and concubine Yi, even the maids and eunuchs were stunned.In the more than two hundred years since the state was established, how many times have you seen such a lively scene in the court?

Xiao Ran squatted down, looked at the three people rolling around with doubts on his face, and wondered: "What are you talking about? Could it be that there are too few of these things and there are not enough points? Don't worry, don't worry, this A slave can still get something. If it’s too little, I’ll make preparations.”

Sushun also lost his hat, and stared at his red eyes, screaming.Duanhua pressed it desperately, accidentally got a punch in the face, and squatted down covering his nose with an ouch of pain.Zaiyuan yelled: "What are you looking at, why don't you come to help! Su Zhongtang... has gone mad!"

Only then did Du Han, Jiao You and the others come to their senses, and rushed forward to embrace Sushun.Sushun's braids were also untied, his hair fell out in locks, and he yelled like crazy: "Take it down! Take it down! Cut it off!" Zai Yuan hurriedly covered his mouth in a panic, and dragged him out desperately.

The queen and concubine Yi looked at each other and I looked at you, and were stunned for a moment.Duanhua put on his hat, picked up Sushun's hat, knelt down in a panic and said: "Suliu lost his mind and frightened Yijia, the crime is unforgivable! That, please forgive me, and Rong Chen waited Discuss again, discuss again!" After finishing speaking, he kowtowed, got up and ran away in a hurry.

"Little Sanzi, what's going on here?" Concubine Yi managed to come back to her senses, and hurriedly got off the throne, and went closer to look at the little gadgets scattered on the ground, but she couldn't see anything after looking at them for a long time.

"This, maybe they discovered it in a moment of conscience, or they are really crazy." Xiao Ran scratched his head, "The court affairs are over, the servant should serve the two masters back to the palace, right?"

Concubine Yi was full of doubts, so naturally she couldn't help asking.But Xiao Ran just talked about him from left to right, and the queen also understood what he meant, and changed the subject several times.

Back at Dong Nuan Pavilion, the empress originally planned to discuss tomorrow's enthronement ceremony with Concubine Yi, but when she saw Xiao Ran, she changed her mind and sent Concubine Yi to go back first.The eunuchs and maids who were ordered to serve also retreated, leaving only two people facing each other in the huge room.The queen felt that the pillar that had been supporting her body for the past few days suddenly fell down, unable to support it anymore, and fell limply into Xiao Ran's arms.

Xiao Ran stretched out his arms to wrap around her waist, lowered his head and kissed her deeply.The queen couldn't dodge it in time, she felt that his arm was like an iron hoop, strangling her almost out of breath, but she felt an unprecedented ease.It was as if a heavy burden was suddenly lifted from his body, and his body suddenly became light and uncontrollable, limp and unable to exert any strength.Let him kiss his lips domineeringly, sucking and rushing recklessly, his whole body seems to melt into his arms.At this time, the queen was like a wandering child who suddenly saw her relatives. All the fright and grievances she had suffered in the past few days turned into tears at this moment, pouring out of her eyes.

After a long time, the two reluctantly parted from the lingering kiss.Xiao Ran wiped away the tears from her face, looked at her slightly thinned cheeks, and said distressedly: "You...you're much thinner! Your body is getting better? I heard from Baolu that you took poison, why? Idiot, didn't you say that Can you wait for me to come back?..."

The Queen woke up with a start.I don't know where the strength came from, and I pushed him away, stumbling back a few steps.Xiao Ran was startled, and reached out to hold her arm, but she pushed it away vigorously.

"What's the matter? You, what happened?"

"Presumptuous! Back off!"

"What?!..." Xiao Ran was startled.His arms froze in mid-air, almost suspecting that something was wrong with his ears.

"I'll let you back down!" The queen's face was pale, and she paused every word, but the machine was very clear.At this moment, she had the illusion that these words sounded so cold as if they came from someone else's mouth, and her heart also shattered in this coldness. "Emperor Daxing's body is not cold, Xiao Ran. From now on, you are not allowed to...be rude to me again!"

"elder sister……"

"Presumptuous! I respect the mother of the country, but you are just a...slave!"

"You..." Xiao Ran stared at her blankly, as if looking at another stranger.After a long while, his body swayed suddenly, and he said with a slumped smile: "Ah, yes. I am a slave, I am a slave! The Empress Dowager is auspicious, I greet you here from this slave! Hehe. Please greet..."

The queen turned around sharply, tears streaming down her face, but she bit her lips tightly and dared not make a sound.There was a suffocating silence, and the air in the room seemed to freeze.

"Master... If there is no other order, the slave will leave." After a long time, Xiao Ran said in a calm tone.

"Wait!" The queen felt another stab in her heart.Resisting to wipe away tears. "Your injury...does it matter?"

"I can't die." The corner of Xiao Ran's mouth twitched violently.

These three words pierced the queen's heart like an awl, and the great pain almost made her unable to bear this heavy disguise.But reason told her: No, I must not do this!

"How did you come back in such a hurry? I asked Baolu to deliver the letter to you. Did he deliver it? Also, what happened in Yanbo Zhishuang Hall just now?"

"Is this what you want to ask?" Xiao Ran smiled faintly, his smile was indescribably bleak.Looking at the Queen's eyes also became very strange.

The matter started from the day when Baolu left the palace.After leaving the palace, he hurried all the way to Xiao's mansion, but suddenly found that Xiao's mansion had been confiscated long ago, and there were still guards left to patrol.Almost got caught.Fortunately, he was clever enough to hide in a stone cave on the rockery and wait until dark before he found a chance to slip out. He didn't dare to go back to the palace and went to Daxing Mountain to deliver the letter.

At this time, Sushun had already densely deployed numerous guards, and he really suffered a lot when he escaped from Chengde all the way.He didn't have any money on his body, so he had no choice but to pawn a piece of ancestral jade pendant. At least he changed his outfit and took the caravan's carriage to Daxing Mountain.But he couldn't find the cottage, so he thought of a method of throwing stones to ask for directions. He pulled a cloth banner and wrote the three characters "Xiao, Duan, Cheng".Outsiders naturally couldn't understand it, but Fulu's eyeliner in the cottage was taken aback, and he got him to the cottage.

When Xiao Ran heard about this, he was very anxious, and Cheng Tong and Duan Xingnian were about to drag their brothers and kill them to Chengde.At this time, Xiao Ran was more careful, one was that his wife and children were in the hands of the other party, and the other was that the Chengde garrison had nearly 200 troops. With his [-]-odd brothers, even if he could kill a bloody road, he would definitely have to pay a lot. the price.Instead of this, why not treat the person with the way of the person?After some calculations, he didn't take Chengde immediately, but sneaked into the capital overnight.

According to the law, the ministers are not allowed to bring their family members with them.Although Sushun got the two concubines to Chengde, he didn't dare to make too much publicity after all, and the rest of the family members still had to stay in the capital.His wife had passed away long ago, and apart from the two aunts, there were only two sons in the family, one named Zhengshan, who was the son of Prince Zheng Duanhua, and the other named Chengshan, who was only eight years old this year.Xiao Ran's purpose was to hijack his two sons, at least with the hostages in hand, he would not be afraid that he would dare to attack Xueyao.

For special forces, such tasks as sneak attack and taking hostages are a piece of cake.Although the Su Mansion is heavily guarded, and there are even special musketeers and martial arts masters acting as guards, but in front of these professionally trained terror experts, they are basically equivalent to preschool children.Within half an hour, the hostages were successfully obtained.Before retreating, they hugged the grass and beat the rabbits, kidnapped Duanhua and Zaiyuan's family members, and retreated quietly under the cover of night.The captain patrolling the city didn't find out that the city gate was open until dawn, and all the guards guarding the gate were exhausted.

, and then hastily sent a brigade to search inside and outside the city, but Xiao was far away at this time.

With the trump card in hand, Xiao Ran led his troops to rush to Chengde.Considering that Sushun might jump over the wall in a hurry and put all his eggs in one basket.So he left the team outside the city to ambush, relying on the "yellow jacket" given to Yu Ting by the queen, he broke into Yanbo Palace single-handedly.As soon as Sushun and others saw those familiar small accessories, they immediately understood that his wife and children had fallen into the other party's hands.These days, he only focused on guarding against Prince Gong, no matter what, he never thought that Li Ran would use such a despicable method, and he couldn't help but be in chaos.Sushun has been an official for decades.With such a high position and authority, how has he ever been threatened and humiliated like this?If you can't think about it for a while, you have to PK with Xiao Ran.

In fact, Sushun's behavior is cruel and merciless, even if his family members are all dead, he must not be influenced by others.But Duanhua and Zai couldn't bear to part with their wives and children no matter what, which made the three of them roll into a ball in the hall.It was the first time in the court hall that two princes and one minister made such a fuss.

Xiao Ran said these words.His tone was unusually calm, as if he had nothing to do with him at all.But the queen heard it in her ears, but couldn't help being frightened.After all, in this way, the hatred between Xiao Ran and Sushun and others is unforgettable.If it wasn't for himself, why would he take the risk of beheading and go deep into the tiger's den alone?For a moment, I couldn't tell what it was like.

Xiao Ran seemed to see her thoughts, smiled coldly, and said: "Master, don't worry about it. Xiao Ran is just a slave, doing this. That's doing the duty of a slave."

"You..." The queen was stunned for a long time, then sighed softly, a trace of heartbreaking despair flashed in her eyes.

Gathering his mind, he roughly told Xiao Ran about what happened in the palace in the past few days.Then said: "Tomorrow the crown prince will ascend the throne, me, what should I do?"

The prince ascended the throne.Gu Ming's eight ministers also had the right to assist in government affairs.At this time, the strength of the queen alone is bound to be insufficient to contend with it. The most sensible way is to win over Concubine Yi.Apart from her extraordinary scheming and skill, Concubine Yi herself is close to Prince Gong Yi.In this storm, whether or not Prince Gong's power can be held together is the key to purging the party.

According to the family law of the Qing Dynasty, the mother is more expensive than the child.Concubine Yi should have the title of Empress Dowager.The reason why Sushun didn't mention this issue was because she was afraid that she would take the opportunity to participate in politics.At this time, it must be proposed by the empress. The best time is to take advantage of tomorrow's enthronement ceremony and have it sealed by the little emperor himself.Then tell the world.

As for the two seals, the queen thought she had made a mistake, but now it seems that she was wrong.It's just that in history, the concubine Yi got the Tongdaotang seal, and the empress got the imperial reward seal, but now she just lost one.

Thinking about it carefully, the queen also thinks this is a good idea, but since she came into contact with government affairs, she has a new view on Concubine Yi, and she is always a little uneasy.After a pause, he said again: "Concubine Yigui has an unusual mind. She should have been named Empress Dowager, but I don't know if something will happen to her after a long time?"

After hearing this, Xiao Ran felt a burst of emotion and sadness in his heart.According to the queen's personality, she would never have said such a thing more than a month ago. It seems that she has really changed a lot during this period of time.Including myself... But isn't this kind of change exactly what I expected?
