The young eunuch led his 20,000 horses to travel day and night, running wildly all the way. Soon after he saw the outline of the capital, Pan You'an dismounted his horse and ordered his soldiers to leave the city twenty miles away and set up camp on the spot. The second general of the Tong family was puzzled and asked:
"The commander-in-chief doesn't go home when he arrives at home. Why is that?"
The young eunuch smiled and said: "Something big has happened in the court, and the lives of General Tong and the Empress Dowager are unknown. If we rush into the city in a hurry and are captured in a daze, who will defend the grievances between the old general and the Empress Dowager?"
The second general of the Tong family suddenly understood and nodded in praise: "The commander is wise, the last general has learned his lesson."
The young eunuch told the two generals to restrain the army and horses and hand over all the important things he brought with him, and said: "Two generals, you have worked hard. Now I will go back to the imperial city alone to find out the truth. If nothing happens, I will leave the city immediately to welcome the army into the city.
, if you are unable to return at this time tomorrow, something must have happened. You will immediately send troops to surround the city gates on all sides, wave flags and shout, beat drums and ring gold. The louder the better, but do not attack the city easily, so as not to cause other people to ask me to come forward by name.
Just give up, otherwise I will die. Please remember the important points, two generals."
The second general of the Tong family raised his head and clasped his fists and said: "I will obey your orders and make no mistakes."
The young eunuch rode a tall horse and led dozens of guards and soldiers into the city with high spirits.
Outside the Zhuque Gate, lanterns and colorful banners were hung, with the words "Arc de Triomphe" written on it. The ten-mile long street was crowded with people. The welcoming crowd saw that there was only a handsome young general followed by thirty or fifty followers. They were very puzzled and turned their heads.
Looking back, I thought that the large group of people was pulling behind me. After looking for a long time, no one came up, so they all muttered:
"Didn't you say we won the battle? Why are there so few men left? Could it be..."
"Don't look at the young general leading the troops. There are five men and six men on the horse. He is actually a eunuch who is missing parts. How can a man with all four limbs and no handles be so arrogant?" Someone knew the details and started a trick in the crowd.
broadcast
"A eunuch can lead troops to fight? He is still a stupid boy. Isn't this a mistake for the country, the people, and the army? What bastard bastard came up with this bad idea?" People began to yell and curse one after another.
"Fifty of the 100,000 men came back. This is called a victory, and they returned in triumph? Go away!"
The little emperor rode on a dragon chariot and led all the civil and military officials to welcome him out of the Wuchao Gate in person. The little eunuch hurriedly dismounted his horse and prostrated on the ground, shouting:
"Long live my emperor! Your minister Pan You'an has obeyed the decree to quell the invaders. He has kept the captives away from thousands of miles away. Now he is returning to the capital with Kaibanshi. He has come to see my lord."
The little emperor hurriedly got out of the chariot and went to the ground. He danced with joy and said, "Little eunuch, I miss you so much!"
The two were holding hands, the little emperor put one hand on the young eunuch's shoulder, and the two were holding each other's backs. When the ministers behind saw the emperor walking, they had no choice but to get out of the sedan and follow him. Everyone returned to the court and leaned over the young eunuch again.
Bye, the little emperor waved his hand and said:
"That's all, that's all. Where can you get so many courtesy? Since you left, my royal brother, my mother has also been lost. I have to go back to the harem and have nothing to do except eat. I have a stomachache after eating too much.
If you are too lazy to eat anymore, just come here. Let us sleep together tonight, convey my decree, and hold a celebration banquet in Hongguang Hall..."
"Wait a minute!" Wen Shichang, the new Minister of War, came out of the generals. He knelt down and kowtowed first, then stood up and said, "Long live my emperor, Your Majesty. Now that the war has ended, General Pan should first hand over his military power when he returns to the court."
The little emperor said: "It's accurate." Then he turned to the little eunuch and said, "Brother, where is your military power? Give it to me first!"
When the young eunuch left his duty, he said: "The troops and horses are encamped twenty miles away from the city, and the military talisman seal is still with the second general of the Tong family."
"That's nonsense!" The speaker was the veteran Wang Shugui. Prime Minister Wang did not kneel down and kowtow. Without even looking at the emperor, he walked directly to the young eunuch, pointed at his nose and cursed, "The soldiers and horses have won."
Master, the soldiers are eager to go home to see their parents, brothers, wives, children, and children, but you allow them to camp in the wilderness without authorization. Tens of thousands of young people gather together. How dare you guarantee that they will not cause trouble? If a mutiny is triggered, can you afford it? Also, you clearly show contempt for
Chao Gang, what kind of weapon is the military talisman seal given to you by the emperor who does not take the emperor seriously? You cannot leave it for a moment, but you put such an important thing in the hands of others. If the two of you have ulterior motives, you will not be able to guess.
With the heart of a minister, what will be the consequences of raising an army to rebel? According to your crime, I will kill you ten times and you will not be able to escape the blame. How dare you go to the emperor to ask for a celebration banquet? In addition, it is reported that someone said that you will not pass the court.
Have you ever considered that the border generals were decided privately by the emperor after a court meeting? How dare you, an emasculated little eunuch, make the decision privately and appoint an unqualified warrior to take on such an important task?
Aren’t you making fun of the emperor’s trust in you and making fun of the country and the country?”
The little eunuch was not afraid at this time, but couldn't help but secretly admire Master Meng Lang and Meng Boxiong's instructions before leaving. If he led the troops into the city in a hurry and was deprived of military power, his head would fall to the ground in an instant. Where would his head be talking at this time?
No one knows!
Prime Minister Wang was filled with righteous indignation and impassioned. The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he spoke, the more energetic he became. He was verbally and physically attacking, and his spittle was like a drizzle. His little finger kept dangling up and down the bridge of the little eunuch's nose. However, he was old and frail, and the woman beside him
There are too many, hard wood cannot withstand the axe, and sometimes I can’t stand the extra overtime during sex. It’s not like I didn’t have bronchitis in my early years. How can my body and bones withstand such torture? After a while, I can’t hold it in anymore.
When he coughed loudly, the court hall was so big that it was like the echo of an empty valley. It made all the civil and military officials in the court feel itchy in their ears. It didn't matter, but the officials were afraid that the emperor would get angry and display his power. Who would have thought? He raised his head and looked at the dragon throne. The little emperor
Maybe he ate a few extra peas the night before, or he wasn't very interested in what was happening in front of him. He was still meditating with his eyes closed! Prime Minister Wang opened his mouth wide and coughed loudly. It wasn't because he had a blocked tongue.
He was about to cough up two ounces of meat. Several important ministers couldn't bear it and hurried over. At this time, they couldn't care about Chao Gang, Chao Feng, Chao Yi, and they helped him beat his chest and stroke his back for a long time.
The old man just took this tone and waved his hands for several colleagues to return to work. He then turned to the little emperor and said:
"Long live my emperor, I believe that Pan You'an committed a serious crime of deceiving the emperor and harming the country, and he should be beaten to death with a stick. However, there is still a bunch of messy debts that have not been settled clearly, so he will be imprisoned on death row first, and he will be convicted after being interrogated in Dali Temple."
The little emperor just took a nap and listened to the old Prime Minister's ramblings for a long time. As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard the Prime Minister saying that he wanted to capture Pan You'an. He wondered if he had heard something wrong. He shook his head and asked again:
"What does Lao Aiqing mean by saying that the celebration banquet can't be held?"
"The celebration banquet is a celebration banquet. What I want to do is to arrest Pan Youan first and send him to death row."
"Why are you catching him? He came all the way back and I still want him to sleep with me tonight!"
"Sleeping is a trivial matter. It is a matter of national security. The Emperor has a queen, concubines, and countless maids accompanying him in his palace. What's the point of sleeping with a little eunuch in his arms?"
"I have to sleep with him!" The little emperor shouted stubbornly, "When the queen was here, he slept with her every day. Now that the queen is not in the palace, it is my turn. Some people say that he has no sex.
, some people say he has a ***, tonight I will personally verify his identity to see if he has a ***?"
"No!" Prime Minister Wang said sternly, "Your Majesty should give top priority to state affairs and not act like a child. Pan You'an is an important criminal in the court. If he is allowed to go unpunished, it will be a crime and irresponsibility for the people of the country."
Your Majesty, please issue an order quickly to capture and imprison Pan You'an, the guilty general."
The little emperor looked at Prime Minister Wang's face, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Since Lao Aiqing insists on arresting me, let's arrest him! After struggling for a long time, I am also hungry, and I am eagerly waiting for the celebration banquet.
What!" After that, the little emperor said to the little eunuch embarrassedly, "Brother, don't blame me for this, I will go to the death row to see you in a few days!"
