There was just a "crash" sound, which was the tea cup hitting the ground, and then there was another sound. Little Eunuch Ma stood up and slapped the table, and said sternly: "Old Liao, we think our friendship is over. You are usually so versatile. Where have they all been thrown away? Can't you understand such a simple thing? The Chief of Ceremonies, the Eunuch Wang, will tell you about face, the three elders in the court will tell you about morality, and our family will tell you about opportunities. If you want to understand , you should go with everyone and move away those guys who have brought disaster to the country and the people. If you can't figure it out, you can find a place to stay for one night because of the long-term friendship. When the dust settles tomorrow, the adults will still remember that you have served the public for many years. Let bygones be bygones. "If you don't show mercy, you can enter the palace right away. Our family won't stop you. You can take whoever you want with you!"
Liao Jianzhong was not polite and said in a loud voice: "Okay, I understand what Mr. Xiao Ma said. My brothers, on the orders of Mr. Liu, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, Jinyiwei North Town Fusi stationed in Fengxian Hall, there must be no mistake. . You can choose to go or stay, and Liao will never stop you!" The eunuch in charge of the eunuch's eunuch is Wang Yue, but the eunuch holding the pen is Liu Jin. Liu Jin wants to overthrow Wang Yue and monopolize the power of the eunuch, while Wang Yue How could he give up and rely on his years of relationship to defeat Liu Jin and regain control? I gradually understood that Eunuch Ma came here under Wang Yue's order, but Liao Jianzhong obeyed Liu Jin's orders, and the two got into a stalemate.
There was a commotion in the room, but no one said a word. I know that at this time, hundreds of households in Fusi, Beizhen, were no longer Hua Shichun and Ji Maotong's group. They all came with the new emperor's enthronement and transfer of posts. They may not follow Liao Jianzhong. After a while, someone said: "Commander Liao, all the brothers left their families and careers to work as servants in Jinyiwei. To be honest, they are all small roles. Naturally, we dare not not listen to what the adults say. It's just that today, we really don't know what to do." , since the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the elders of the pavilion have spoken, we have to obey, so please forgive me if I disobey you!" The person who spoke was none other than Ji Liaofan.
Liao Jianzhong laughed and said: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and Liao never forces it! But brothers, please think clearly, tonight will definitely affect your future, and even your wealth and life!" Eunuch Ma sneered: "What you said is too scary. , the Ming Dynasty still respects the rules, and the rules are to listen to the words of the Chief of Ceremonies and the cabinet adults, don’t use Liu Jin to pressure others, no matter what he does, he is still a eunuch with a pen!"
Liao Jianzhong said: "It seems that none of you are willing to go, so I have to go by myself. We are all brothers in the same family. I hope no one stops me when I walk out!"
There were mixed sounds of standing up inside, and Eunuch Ma said in disappointment: "Old Liao, Old Liao!" As soon as the door opened, Liao Jianzhong strode out, and I hurriedly went up to meet him. Liao Jianzhong looked at me and said with a smile: "Are you willing to join us? Shall I leave?" I saw a group of people coming up behind him, mostly the leaders of the Zhenfu Division. I took a deep breath, cupped my hands and said, "I am willing to follow Mr. Liao!"
"Very good, Lao Liao, you finally have a follower, even though it's a small general!" Father-in-law Ma mocked, "He's still young, you really shouldn't delay his future!" With that, he patted After clapping our hands, a group of Dongchang guards ran out from the yard, holding various weapons and surrounded us.
Liao Jianzhong glanced at these people and said seriously: "After leaving Jin Yiwei, we are no longer brothers. Whoever is willing to try his skills, Liao will never refuse. Anyone who dares to touch him, including Zhang Ying, will be killed without mercy." ! It’s just that this is the Jin Yiwei, and my brothers are making moves to make outsiders laugh. Come on, let’s go outside!” His sonorous and powerful voice made my heart heat up, and I couldn’t help but quicken my pace.
Liao Jianzhong strode forward. Most of the people in the East Factory were from the Jinyiwei sect who were on duty in the past. They were unwilling to take action. He looked at Eunuch Ma. His face became paler. The corners of his mouth trembled and he shook his head gently. These No one stopped him, and I followed him. The yard suddenly became quiet, and I heard a heavy sigh. A man stepped out and said, "Commander Liao, do you really want to leave?" It turned out to be Yu who had escaped. Qi, it’s just that he also changed into a Jinyiwei outfit. My heart tightened. Liao Jianzhong smiled and said, “It’s you. I never thought we could meet here!” Yu Qi smiled calmly and said, “Thank you for taking care of me. I lived a good life in prison. You are a benevolent and righteous person with far-sightedness. Although I am a thief in your eyes, I still admire you very much. I just don't understand why you still follow those people since you know the current situation of the court? "
Liao Jianzhong laughed and said: "Everyone has different choices, so they do things differently. It's rare that you give me advice, but I am still very happy to see you. I want to leave here, will you stop me?" Yu Qi shook his head and said : "I won't stop you, just think of me as repaying you for taking care of me over the years!" Liao Jianzhong nodded, clasped his hands and said, "Then I thank you, see you soon!" Yu Qiyi returned the courtesy: "See you soon!" After I stepped aside, I realized that there were a dozen or so people wearing brocade uniforms behind him. Liao Jianzhong pulled me, and I gently pushed him away, whispering: "I'm fine!" Liao Jianzhong smiled at me, but walked firmly. Go forward.
These people did not stop us. We quickly left the inner courtyard. A group of people had already rushed in. It turned out to be Hua Shichun and Gu Dayou. When they saw us, they let out a sigh of relief and stepped forward one after another: "Brother, you Come out! If you don't come out, we will go in." It turned out that this group of people came to pick up Liao Jianzhong. Liao Jianzhong looked at everyone gratefully and said: "Brothers, how did you know the news? You can come, too I was surprised and moved!”
Hua Shichun said: "It was Lao Ji who informed us that there was a change in the palace tonight and asked us to come and help you. Grandma, Ji Liaofan or something, my eldest brother has always been good to him, but he didn't agree with us at the critical moment! "
Gu Dayou said: "People's hearts are apart, isn't our Yue Qianhu here? He said he is in another place and can't come back in time. He is obviously hiding!"
Hua Shichun said: "Really? Then this guy is too disrespectful of brotherhood?"
Liao Jianzhong smiled and said: "You have misunderstood. I arranged for him to accompany Lord Murong to sit outside the city!" After a pause, he said: "You are all my good brothers, and this Zhang Ying is the only one who is willing to work with me. Those who are leaving, let’s go, Ji Maotong will meet us in the palace, and Gu Dashou will be in charge of the rear, we’ll set off now!”
We rushed to the Imperial City quietly, taking a corridor instead of the normal Liubu Street. It was rumored that there were already people there. And we parted ways with little Eunuch Ma, we were in the same boat, so we didn’t dare to be careless. Liao Jianzhong made a prompt decision and took the shortcut to the imperial city. At this time, the sky was dark and the cold wind was blowing. I followed silently, but my heart was still blank. I don't know if what I did is right, but I have no choice. Liao Jianzhong is my most trustworthy person. If I don't follow him, who else can I follow?
When we arrived near the Imperial City, we found that outside the gate, there was a dark crowd of people kneeling on the ground, and people kept joining in, kneeling behind, surrounded by armed guards in brocade. The leader was Ji Maotong. He scanned the crowd and said: "My lords, it's freezing cold here. You are kneeling here. If you have good health and bones, you will freeze to death overnight. If you have bad health and bones, you will become disabled and die. That is not worth the gain!"
Someone replied: "Even if we freeze to death and kneel to death, it is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. If the Eight Tigers are not eliminated, the country will never have peace!" Someone echoed, Jimao Channel: "The loyalty of you adults can be learned from heaven and earth, but you are here Kneeling here, if something goes wrong, I can't bear it even if something goes wrong. As the saying goes, you will know whether you are warm or cold by comparing your feelings with others. I think, if you gentlemen are willing to be merciful, please go to the court room to rest, drink warm tea, and eat some snacks. , wouldn’t it be better to wait for the news!”
Someone scolded: "How dare you, a small member of the Jinyi Guards family, speak nonsense in front of all the ministers? After today, we will get rid of all the Jinyi Guards who are working for us." After hearing this, we all felt a little displeased. At ease, Hua Shichun cursed in a low voice: "These guys really don't know what's good or bad. Ji Maotong tried to persuade me with good words, but they don't understand!" Ji Maotong didn't mind after hearing this, he smiled and said: "Sir, feel free to scold me. Ji, I'm not angry at all, but I still ask the adults to get up!" How could those people care about his words? Just at this moment, the side door opened and several people walked out. Someone with sharp eyes said: "It's the three pavilion elders. Out!"
