Four hundred and sixteenth chapter martial arts world twenty-two
The guard handed over another jade box. There were books in the box. The letters were made of yellow silk and edged with red silk. Both letters were very old. But there was no third jade box in the treasure house. Wei Xiaobao
Feeling slightly disappointed.
Suo'etu said happily: "Eunuch Gui, if the three of us have completed this matter, if the Empress Dowager likes it, she will be rewarded heavily."
Wei Xiaobao said: "What kind of Buddhist scripture is that? I need to see it first." After saying that, he went to open the letter.
Suo'etu was moved in his heart and said with a smile: "Eunuch Gui, please don't be angry if I say something."
Wei Xiaobao has been in the brothel since he was a child, being called "little beast, little turtle" by others. Ever since he received Kangxi's favor, everyone in the palace was extremely respectful when they saw him.
As a fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old child, how had he ever received such respect in his life? Seeing Suo'etu's majesty in Obai Mansion, the civil and military officials were all trembling with fear, but this man was so polite to him, and they couldn't help but feel shocked.
Used.
Wei Xiaobao had a very good impression of Suo'etu and said, "If Master Suo has any orders, just say it."
Suo'etu smiled and said: "I dare not take the order seriously, but I suddenly remembered something. Eunuch Gui, these two scriptures were requested by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and they were placed in the treasure house by Ao Bai. This shows that they are very different."
Ordinary.
We don’t understand why it’s so important. I really want to open it and take a look, but I’m afraid there are some important words in it. The Empress Dowager doesn’t like the sight of us as slaves. This... this... hehe
..."
When Wei Xiaobao mentioned it to him, he immediately understood and was secretly surprised. He quickly put the scriptures back on the table and said, "That's right, that's right! Master Suo, thank you for your advice. I don't understand the meaning of this, and I almost got offended."
disaster."
Suo'etu smiled and said: "What did Eunuch Gui say? The emperor sent us two brothers to work together. Your affairs are mine, so what else can we say to each other? If I don't consider Eunuch Gui to be one of my own, then these words will not matter.
Dare to speak out casually."
Wei Xiaobao said: "You are a high official in the court, I... I am just a little... little eunuch, how can I treat you as one of my own?"
Suo'etu waved to the officials in the room and said, "You go outside to wait."
All the officials bowed and said, "Yes, yes!" and all retreated.
Suo'etu took Wei Xiaobao's hand and said, "Eunuch Gui, please don't say such things. If you think highly of me, Suo, how about we become brothers today?"
These two sentences were said so sincerely that Wei Xiaobao didn't hear anything for a moment. Fang Yu glanced at the two of them slightly, shook his head and sighed. Wei Xiaobao still has a lot to learn about this officialdom thing.
Wei Xiaobao was startled and said: "I...I swore sworn sworn vows to you? How...how can I be worthy of you?"
Suo'etu said: "Brother Gui, if you say such things again, it will obviously hurt me. For some reason, I fell in love with you as soon as we met. We brothers went to the Buddhist hall to worship. From now on
We treat it as real brothers. Don’t tell anyone about you and me. As long as we don’t let others know, what’s the big deal?”
Suo'etu held Wei Xiaobao's hand tightly, his eyes full of eagerness. It turned out that Suo'etu was very enthusiastic. Seeing that Obai had fallen, the ministers in power in the court wanted to be replaced as soon as possible. This time the emperor was very interested in him.
Goodness, it seems, will be promoted soon.
As an official in the court, if you want to be favored, you must understand the emperor's temper and mood. This little eunuch spends time with the emperor day and night. As long as he can say a few good words for himself in front of the emperor, he will benefit a lot.
Even if you don't say nice things, as long as you reveal what the emperor likes, what he hates, and what he wants to do, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort when doing things by yourself, and you will play into the emperor's wish.
He grew up in a family of officials. His father, Sony, was the head of the ministers who cared about life. He always knew that "trying to figure out what is best for you" was the only secret to being a high official, and this was the most difficult thing.
There was a good opportunity in front of me. As long as I could win over this little eunuch, it would not be difficult to become a successful person in the future and become a prime minister. So I had an idea and decided to sworn sworn sworn relationship with him.
Although Wei Xiaobao was clever, he didn't understand anything about the politics and officialdom. He only knew that this high official really liked him, so he couldn't help but feel proud and said: "This... this, I really didn't expect it."
"Right, our own people know our own affairs. No matter how outsiders guess, they don't know that we are brothers. By the way, Fang Chongfeng, you are young, why don't you come with us? Although Eunuch Gui and I are
Your martial arts skills are not high, but we can still help you."
Fang Yu shook his head and said, "Don't worry about me, you two can become sworn brothers on your own."
Wei Xiaobao responded with some disappointment: "Okay."
He really wanted to become sworn friends with Fang Yu. With Fang Yu as his eldest brother, his personal safety would be guaranteed. Moreover, if he was bullied in the future, he could ask Fang Yu to step in.
Suo'etu didn't care too much. What he wanted was power. No matter how good his martial arts skills were, he could surpass the army. Of course, it would be helpful to be sworn brothers with a martial arts master.
Suo'etu took Wei Xiaobao's hand and said, "Come, come, come! Let's go to the Buddhist hall."
Manchu people believe in Buddhism, and there are Buddhist halls in the houses of civil and military ministers. The two of them went to the Buddhist hall.
Suo'etu lit incense, and together with Ravi Xiaobao, he knelt down in front of the Buddha statue, bowed several times, and said, "Disciple Suo'etu, today I am with... and... and..."
Suo'etu turned around and asked, "Brother Gui, what's your nickname? You haven't asked me yet. It's ridiculous."
Wei Xiaobao said: "My name is Xiao Guizi."
Suo'etu smiled and said: "Your surname is Gui, isn't it? I don't know what to call you?"
Wei Xiaobao said: "I...I...my name is Gui Xiaobao."
Suo'etu smiled and said: "Good name, good name. You are a treasure among people!"
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "When I was in Yangzhou, people called me 'Xiaobao, the little turtle'. What good is the name Xiaobao?"
Just listen to Suo'etu say: "Disciple Suo'etu, today I have a sworn marriage with brother Gui Xiaobaogui. From now on, we will share the blessings and share the hardships. I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I hope to die in the same year, the same month and the same day. If the disciple doesn't care
Loyalty will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and there will be no chance of success forever."
After saying that, he kowtowed again, bowed, and said: "Brother, you should also bow to Buddha and take an oath!"
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "You are much older than me. If I really die in the same year, month and day as you, it would be a big loss."
In a flash, I had an idea and thought to myself: "I'm not Gui Xiaobao anyway, so what should I be afraid of if I just talk nonsense?"
So he kowtowed in front of the Buddha statue and said loudly: "My disciple Gui Xiaobao has always been a young eunuch in the emperor's palace. Everyone calls him Xiao Guizi. I have become a brother with Mr. Suo'etu, and we are blessed together.
Heng, we share the same difficulties. I don’t want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to die in the same month, the same month and the same day.
If Xiao Guizi ignores his loyalty, Xiao Guizi will be punished by heaven and earth. After Xiao Guizi's death, he will be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell and be caught by the Bull-headed Horse Face. He will not be able to reincarnate for a thousand or ten thousand years."
He asked Xiao Guizi to bear all the disasters, and said "the same month" two times in succession, and changed "I hope I die in the same year, the same month and the same day" to "I hope I die in the same month, the same month and the same day."
I can't even hear the pattern in the picture.
Fang Yu looked on amusedly. One had hidden agendas, and the other was deceiving others. He really didn’t know how they could become friends in the future.
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "It doesn't matter if I die on the same month and day as you. If you die on the third day of March, I will die on the third day of March a hundred years later, so I won't suffer any loss."
As for what he said about Xiao Guizi being thrown into the eighteenth level of hell after his death and not being reincarnated for tens of millions of years, this was his true wish. He was the one who killed Xiao Guizi. If the ghost came to seek revenge, it would not be a joke. It would be like being tortured by a bull-headed horse in hell.
If he holds on tight, Wei Xiaobao will naturally be at peace in the world of the Yang world.
After Suo'etu heard what he said, the two bowed to each other eight times, stood up together, and laughed.
Suo'etu smiled and said: "Brother, you and I are already brothers who worship each other, and we are ten times more intimate than real brothers. From now on, if you want my brother to help you with anything, just ask, you're welcome."
Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "What's the point? I haven't understood what the word "polite" means since I was born. Brother, what does "polite" mean?" The two of them laughed at each other again.
Suo'etu said: "Brother, we can't tell others about the two of us worshiping each other, lest others guard against us. Zhaochao
According to the rules of the court, we who are foreign ministers cannot be too close to your brothers who are internal officials. As long as we know what we are doing, that's all."
Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, yes! The mute eats the wontons with full knowledge."
Seeing that he was well-behaved and smart, Suo'etu was even more happy when he nodded and said, "Brother, in front of others, I will still call you Eunuch Gui, and you can call me Mr. Suo. Please don't talk nonsense."
In a few days, you and Fang Chong will come to my house, and I, my brother, will accompany you and Fang Chong to drink and listen to a show, so that we two brothers can have a good time and relax."
Fang Yu said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense. Besides, talking nonsense will not do me any good."
Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed. He was not a good drinker. As soon as the word "listening to an opera" came into his ears, he liked it more than anything else. He clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Wonderful, wonderful! I love listening to an opera the most. Which day did you say it was?"
The salt merchants in Yangzhou lived a luxurious life. Whenever they got married, gave birth to children or celebrated their birthdays, they would often perform plays for several days. On these days, Wei Xiaobao would naturally crawl in and out of the stage to join in the fun and watch the plays.
It's a happy day, so people won't take him seriously, and often treat him to a bowl of rice with a few big pieces of meat piled high on top. As for the God-welcoming Games, there are many different troupes singing operas. 1
When the word "listening to a play" is mentioned, I feel really excited.
Suo'etu said: "Since brother likes it, I will invite you all the time. As long as brother is free that day, just give me your orders."
Wei Xiaobao said: "How about tomorrow?"
Suo'etu said: "Great! I'll wait for you outside the palace gate tomorrow at You time."
