This martial saint is too generous

In fact, Eunuch Han had already prepared for the worst, and he didn't even take Qin Jinyang's words to heart.

How could a Northern Eagle flying general with no real power allow himself, a sinner, to meet the dignified crown prince of a country?

Young people are trying to save face and are just bragging.

To be honest, Eunuch Han has a group of godsons. Although he likes Qin Jinyang and helps Qin Jinyang a little, it is really just a small favor. Any plea from his godsons will cost him everything. It was more complicated than the times when I helped Qin Jinyang.

That trivial friendship is not worth Qin Jinyang's efforts.

When he suddenly received the news that the prince had summoned him, Eunuch Han was only shocked and stunned, and did not even think about Qin Jinyang.

It wasn't until he arrived at the East Palace that he learned through an acquaintance of the eunuch that it was General Bei Ying Fei who was offering elixirs to His Highness the Crown Prince. This gave him this opportunity.

According to normal thinking, Qin Jinyang should have tried his words after receiving the reward.

If His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to summon him, he will repay the previous friendship. If His Highness the Crown Prince does not see him, Qin Jinyang has done his best.

Even if he said it casually, Eunuch Han was already grateful.

But he never expected that this Qin Jinyang would value love and justice so much.

He actually directly attributed all the credit to himself... In this way, His Highness the Crown Prince would inevitably summon him.

This is considered burning the boat.

So touched!

Eunuch Han has never been so grateful to someone for a long, long time.

It's a pity that he doesn't have much time left, otherwise he and Qin Jinyang would have become sworn brothers.

Eunuch Han was crawling around in the palace, and he knew best how hard people worked for fame and fortune. He was already used to those who stabbed people in the back. People with a pure nature like Qin Jinyang may have become extinct.

No wonder Su Zhannan admired him so much during the battle with Qi Qicheng.

You know, Qin Jinyang has no background. He is in the critical moment of breakthrough and is in urgent need of pills.

Pity.

As the sun goes down, I have nothing to give back to you.

…

"You want to see me, do you have something to explain?"

The prince leaned on the bed, looking quite pleasant.

Eunuch Han lowered his head and his eyes flickered.

He is a eunuch who has grown up watching other people's eyes since he was a child. He is best at observing words and expressions.

His Highness the Crown Prince's tone was calm, but extremely cold.

It's like...talking to a dead person.

The bedroom was silent.

Eunuch Han was not in a hurry to reply, and the prince did not urge him.

In fact, the prince knew Eunuch Han's purpose. He wanted to live, and he asked for his protection.

But the stakes were high at this time. It was impossible for him to pardon the sinner, let alone disobey his father's order.

As for whether Eunuch Han is innocent or not, it actually doesn't matter at all.

"Your Highness, I do have something to say..."

Eunuch Han stood up and looked at the guards and maids around the prince.

"You all go down!"

The prince waved his hand.

"Your Highness..."

The princess frowned.

The Eunuch Han in front of him is a repeat offender of the imperial court. Once he commits suicide, the prince will be in danger.

The eyes of several personal guards were like lightning, as if they were trying to penetrate Eunuch Han's heart.

"Go down, Gu's strange illness has gone away, it won't hinder him from using his fists and kicks... What's more, it's impossible for Yi Shi to assassinate Gu."

The prince waved his hand again.

Eunuch Han's expression changed, and his eyes were filled with gratitude.

The reason for gratitude is the word Akashi.

Han Chishi.

This is Eunuch Han's name, a name given by the Crown Prince himself.

At that time, he was still young, and his duty was to serve the prince in his studies.

Even though many years have passed, Eunuch Han still remembers that hot afternoon.

The prince was reading a poem, and before he knew it, he was fascinated. He happened to catch up with the emperor to check the reading status of the princes. When he saw that the prince was selfless in reading, he was very happy, and the prince took advantage of the opportunity to give himself a name.

From that day on, Eunuch Han had his own name.

…

Only Eunuch Han and the prince were left in the bedroom.

The prince did not speak. He was the superior, and he was waiting for Mr. Han to speak.

"Your Highness, I ask you to be careful and watch out for King Kai."

Eunuch Han gritted his teeth with a serious expression.

Eunuchs are not allowed to participate in state affairs.

Eunuchs are not allowed to talk casually to the emperor's relatives. It is normal for them to be shattered into pieces if they are not careful.

In the past, Eunuch Han was afraid of rules, but now that he was about to die, he had a fearless aura about him.

Kaiwang.

Yuan Renkai.

The late emperor's brother with a different surname was the emperor's tutor at that time, and he also had a different surname, Uncle Wang. He had the late emperor's whip in his hand, which could be used to knock the king unconscious and kill the treacherous ministers.

Yuan Renkai's background was actually a traitorous general from the previous dynasty.

But unlike those families who rebelled midway, the Yuan family was already close before the Jiang family rebelled, so King Kai and the late emperor became sworn brothers with different surnames.

"King Kai? He is Gu's uncle, a middle-ranking figure in the court, and has made great contributions to the court. Why should Gu be wary of him?"

The prince squinted his eyes and his tone was neither salty nor cold.

"Your Highness, do you still remember a major case three months ago?"

Eunuch Han's eyes turned red.

"Three months ago, a censor filed a complaint against the emperor, claiming that the stone hooks in Xugu City had been secretly replaced with ordinary wood. In order to attract the emperor's attention, the censor did not hesitate to hit his head against a pillar, causing blood to splash in the Jinluan Palace. .”

Eunuch Han said anxiously.

"Of course I remember, but unfortunately, when the imperial envoy arrived at Xugu City, the sky was dry and there was a fire in Xugu City. The stone hooks and wood of several warehouses were all covered in a sea of ​​flames."

"Although it's a bit strange, after the fire was extinguished, there were indeed countless charcoal and ashes in the warehouse."

The prince said.

Stone hook wood is a kind of soft wood inlaid in the inner lining of the armor, which has the wonderful effect of absorbing shock.

The Lihai Kingdom borders Zhongzhou. The environment is harsh and the people are fierce. The barbarians living there are tall and savage. Even children have brute strength. Their limbs are stiff and it is difficult for them to be proficient in dexterous blades. However, this group of people can wield heavy and blunt swords. The weapon can shatter a person's internal organs, and the blunt weapon is so powerful that it is difficult for Zhongzhou soldiers to get close.

Fortunately, Tiangongyuan forged the stone hook wood inner armor. With the stone hook wood buffer, Li Hai's blunt weapons were no longer lethal. In recent months, the Zhongzhou army had achieved several great victories and was gradually regaining strategic key points.

The fire in Xu Gucheng caused a disaster...

…

In recent years, the country of Lihai has been enjoying good weather. In addition, an unprecedented wise king has ascended the throne and opened up border trade. The originally barren and barbaric country has become more and more prosperous.

After becoming wealthy, the internal aristocratic fights within the Lihai Kingdom ceased, and they were united in dealing with the outside world. Of course, this still relied on the iron-blooded tactics of the new emperor.

Having tasted the sweetness of business, Xintiqi paid more attention to business transactions.

However, Lihai Kingdom is in a bad location, and its trade routes pass through Zhongzhou.

However, Lihaiguo and Zhongzhou were feuding. Their previous emperor was captured alive by Zhongzhou and tortured to death in front of the border. At that time, the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne. He saw his father die on the execution platform of the Zhongzhou Ministry of War. I also saw my elder sister being raped to death by the border troops.

In front of everyone, the new emperor vowed to destroy Zhongzhou, otherwise he would not be a human being.

Diplomacy at a distance and attack at home has been the strategy of the Lihai Kingdom in recent years.

Zhongzhou borders on the border, and there will be no end to death.

Of course, the new emperor of Lihai Kingdom is self-aware, and he has no idea of ​​fully occupying the land of Zhongzhou yet.

The Lihai army attacked the city of Zhongzhou, but it still focused on controlling the trade routes.

But the Zhongzhou court knew that the Lihai Kingdom was ambitious from top to bottom, and a full-scale attack on Zhongzhou would be a matter of time. If they were allowed to trade freely, sooner or later they would be the most terrifying enemy.

The imperial court paid an extremely heavy price and interrupted several trade channels in Lihai Kingdom.

Eunuch Han's army was completely defeated, and their opponent was Li Haiguo.

The leading generals of the enemy country were obviously the new emperor who was leading the army and marching in person.

As a result, 200,000 troops were lost on the battlefield.

In fact, many ministers of the Ministry of War have analyzed that the reason why this battle was a disastrous defeat was due to the chaos of the tactics and strategies of the generals of Zhongzhou, and the reason why the new emperor of Lihai Kingdom personally conquered the country. The opponent was an absolutely elite opponent, but the bigger factor may be that Xu Gucheng That fire is related.

Without stone hooks and wooden inner armor, it would be really difficult for Zhongzhou soldiers to resist the suppression of Li Haiguo's blunt weapons.

Of course, the ministers only knew this kind of thing in their hearts, and no one said it at all... The scapegoat already had an eunuch to supervise the army, so why bother creating complications.

…

"Haha...fire! Haha...the charcoal remains of Shigoumu..."

Eunuch Han suddenly sneered. He even began to be rude and forgot about the subservience that a eunuch should have in front of the prince.

"Your Highness, is there a possibility that the burned stone hook wood is simply an ordinary wood to confuse the public?"

"Why do our catapults and blunt weapons have no effect on this group of foreign troops?"

"We also killed many soldiers of the Lihai Kingdom. Why are there stone hooks and wood on the inside of their leather armor?"

Eunuch Han asked with red eyes.

The barbarians of the Lihai Kingdom are tall and tall, with rough skin and thick flesh. In addition, the new emperor opened up trade and bought a lot of armor from other countries. Therefore, Zhongzhou's swords and guns are difficult to cause fatal injuries. Fortunately, the name of Zhongzhou Tiangongyuan Yangtianxia developed a batch of catapults and blunt throwing weapons based on the characteristics of Lihai's soldiers.

This can be regarded as fighting fire with fire. After all, their bodies are huge and their legs and feet are not agile. They are like living targets.

But this battle was extremely weird. The previous invincible stones or blunt force blows had no effect. The other side mocked the border troops unscrupulously. Some barbarians even deliberately showed the stone hooks under their leather armor with mockery on their faces.

200,000 troops.

If you form a line and let them kill you, you will have to kill for a long time. It is not that simple to annihilate the entire army.

This is simply a targeted trap.

Eunuch Han stared into the prince's eyes, and the prince squinted his eyes and said nothing.

"Your Highness... Shigoumu is a spiritual tree cultivated by the masters of Tiangongyuan with great pains and efforts. It is impossible to plant it in foreign countries. Even in Zhongzhou, only Xu Gucheng can plant it."

Eunuch Han added.

What he meant was that the stone hooks and wood worn by the soldiers of the country here came from Zhongzhou.

"There's another thing. It's such a coincidence that the old slave has to doubt King Kai."

"You must have heard that not long ago, the Kaijun under King Kai seized a large number of hybrid electric knives. The quantity was large enough for everyone in the Kaijun to be equipped with one, and its quality was so good that the people inside the Kaijun We will not hesitate to take risks to smuggle the hybrid electric knife into the market."

"The hybrid electric knife is a unique weapon of the Yada Kingdom. Only the Yada Kingdom in the world can forge it."

"The generals under King Kai spread the news everywhere, claiming that King Kai had intercepted a group of foreign caravans. But Kai's army was guarding the southeastern border, and Yada Kingdom was located in the southwest. The commander guarding the southwest line was Jiao. marshal."

"What's even more coincidental is that the Yada Kingdom recently purchased a batch of deep-frozen jade, and the deep-frozen jade is a mine buried deep underground in the Lihai Kingdom..."

Eunuch Han looked into the prince's eyes, and his words became more and more gloomy: "King Kai got a batch of hybrid electric knives inexplicably, Yada got a batch of deep-frozen jade from Lihai, and Lihai was equipped with a large number of stone hooks and wood. …”

Eunuch Han did not continue.

The atmosphere in the bedroom solidified again.

"What do you mean, is Kai Wang eating everything inside and outside?"

The prince suddenly spoke.

"right!"

"On the surface, King Kai had no contact with the Lihai Kingdom, but he sold the stone hook wood to the Yada Kingdom and exchanged it for the hybrid electric knife from the Yada Kingdom to arm the Kai army."

"As for the Yada Kingdom, they exchanged rocks and wood for deep-frozen jade from the Yada Kingdom."

"Actually, both Lihai and Yada are doing business normally, buying and selling. The only big winner is King Kai."

"First, the king will arm the army and raise the army's combat effectiveness to a higher level."

"Secondly, King Kai has a grudge against the generals on the Western Front. Lihaiguo marched straight in, and the army on the Western Front was defeated. King Kai's hand is likely to reach the Western Front."

"Third, if Yada Country buys deep-frozen jade, it can suppress Marshal Jiao on the northern front."

"Looking at the world, in fact, all countries are consumed by wars. The old slave carefully calculated... Guess what, it seems that only King Kai's army has been growing and developing... The southeastern border guarded by King Kai , there has been no major war for a long time.”

Eunuch Han sneered.

"Han Chishi, what on earth are you going to say... cough! cough!"

The prince suddenly coughed.

"This old slave wants to file a complaint!"

"It was Yuan Renkai who bribed the officials from top to bottom of Xu Gu City. He secretly transported away the stone hooks and wood. He was greedy for profit and traded with the enemy."

"The culprit responsible for the fall of these 200,000 troops was Yuan Renkai."

Eunuch Han gritted his teeth.

Yuan Renkai, you are really good at calculating.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Strengthening your opening army can also weaken the eastern frontier army!

"Do you know what our charges are for slandering and framing a prince of the town?"

"I know that you hate King Kai. King Kai was unhappy back then and slapped you dozens of times in the palace for no reason, but this is not the reason for you to talk nonsense."

The prince squinted his eyes.

"This slave is a heinous man. He is already a gelded dog that everyone in Zhongzhou wants to beat. Why does he care about his crime?"

"Yuan Renkai sold the armor that the military general needed most to the enemy. He was so heartbroken."

"Wear King Kai's clothes, eat King Kai's food, receive King Kai's merits, King Kai will treat you when you are sick, and King Kai will take care of your family after death... This is the proverb in those border cities under King Kai's guard."

"My servant said something treasonous...King Kai is very ambitious and I'm afraid he has already turned against you."

"Whether your Jiang family can continue to sit in Zhongzhou in the future depends on what the emperor gives in exchange for people's hearts... Whoever has money and things in his hands is the one who has the support of the world's people, and who is the one who is ordered by heaven. True Dragon Emperor."

Eunuch Han stood up. He didn't know where he got the strength. His words could no longer be described as treasonous.

"You... are presumptuous!"

The prince pointed at Eunuch Han's nose and wanted to pull out the man's tongue immediately.

"Your Highness, during my years as a supervisor in the Ministry of War, I quietly investigated a lot of evidence..."

"These evidences can prove that Yuan Renkai colluded with the enemy! Of course, the slaves know the difficulties of the court. Without King Kai's army to guard it, I am afraid that the imperial capital may fall, and the emperor will definitely not touch King Kai."

Eunuch Han slapped his thigh.

A ball of blood exploded, and a jade slip the size of a fingernail was hidden in the flesh of his thigh.

"Although Yuan Renkai can't die, I want to beg Your Highness to kill Yuan Bolou."

Eunuch Han placed the jade slips beside the bed and kowtowed heavily.

Yuan Bolou is the youngest son of Yuan Renkai and the general of the defeated army.

He, the supervisor of the army, has been reduced to a castrated dog with a long-standing reputation. However, Yuan Bolou, the instigator, will be fined a painless salary and will soon be reinstated.

Eunuch Han can be the scapegoat, but Yuan Bolou must be buried with him.

As long as the prince reveals the evidence to the world, Yuan Bolou will definitely die.

At that time, the Ministry of War will not be able to spare him, and the people of the world will not be able to escape from him. Even if the emperor does not want to offend Yuan Renkai and wants to pardon Yuan Bolou, it will be impossible... Even the emperor cannot silence the people of the world.

…

Eunuch Han was an orphan and became an eunuch by chance.

Due to the lack of family affection since childhood, Eunuch Han wanted to have relatives, so he went everywhere to recognize his son.

In the past few decades, Eunuch Han has had more godsons than the emperor's biological sons.

But among so many godsons, only two are currently truly caring for him. Even if he is in dire straits, he is willing to abandon everything to help him.

Qin Jinyang is the second one.

wrong……

Qin Jinyang cannot be considered a godson.

Speaking of which, Eunuch Han only has a godson who is closer than his biological son.

His name is Zhao Lizhou, and he is a young general.

Zhao Lizhou was extremely talented and was one of the lieutenants on this expedition. When everyone fled, Zhao Lizhou resisted to the death. In the end, in order to save his own life, he was attacked by spies hidden in the army.

Killed on the spot.

Eunuch Han ordered to hunt down the spies, but Yuan Bolou ordered to continue retreating.

In fact, the spies did not run far. They only needed a small number of manpower and a very short time to capture them, without delaying the withdrawal at all.

But Yuan Bolou just disagreed.

Because of this incident, Eunuch Han disobeyed military orders for the first time and even forced Yuan Bolou to give orders.

This time, it also laid the groundwork for Eunuch Han to usurp power.

In the end, Eunuch Han and his confidants successfully caught the spy.

Unfortunately, the spy has been poisoned. It turns out that someone had already killed the spy before him.

Before he died, the spy's conscience discovered and told the truth.

It turns out that the spies are incompatible with Li Haiguo, and he is Yuan Bolou's confidant.

Yuan Bolou suspected that Zhao Lizhou had evidence of the Yuan family's collaboration with the enemy. With Zhao Lizhou's reputation, once he made the evidence public, it would arouse national public opinion and be detrimental to King Kai.

In the end, Yuan Bolou gave the order to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate Zhao Lizhou.

The spy finished speaking and breathed his last.

Eunuch Han burst into tears.

Perhaps, he was the one who got his godson into trouble.

Speaking of which, Eunuch Han does have selfish motives. His status in the palace can only be ranked sixth.

He wanted to go further, so he went to investigate King Kai privately in an attempt to make a great contribution. Zhao Lizhou was naturally smart and really helped him investigate a lot of evidence.

Because of himself, Zhao Lizhou was killed.

Although Eunuch Han has Zhao Lizhou's jade slips in his hands, he has been declared a castrated dog who is causing trouble and surpassing his class. The news coming out of his mouth has only made the people in the world hate him even more.

Finally, Eunuch Han thought of the prince.

If these evidences are revealed from the prince's mouth, Yuan Bolou will definitely die.

…

"Your Highness, there are various documents in the jade slips, some of which are key and ironclad evidence. They were hidden by slaves in a safe place. There are addresses in the jade slips."

While speaking, Eunuch Han had been observing the prince's eyes.

disappointment!

Eunuch Han's heart quickly became cold, and he was extremely disappointed.

There is a high probability that the prince will not avenge himself, let alone pay attention to his godson's grievances.

The prince's eyes were too calm.

Desperately calm.

With so much evidence in front of him, there was no trace of excitement in his eyes.

Quite ridiculous...

Perhaps, the emperor and the prince were very aware of what Yuan Renkai had done.

But now Yuan Renkai is a tumor on the dynasty.

Although the tumor is ugly, as long as the tumor is not broken, the dynasty can still live. This tumor can even prevent tetanus.

The emperor is gambling.

Bet that the internal and external troubles of the dynasty will end soon, and as long as the serious illness is cured, the tumor can be cut away.

And the tumor is also gambling.

Bet that the Dynasty will die first, and then you can become the heart and replace it.

Eunuch Han is good at discerning people's hearts, and he has determined that it is impossible for His Highness to avenge him.

The balance between the court and the king does not allow for any deviation.

In the overall situation, he is nothing.

On the table of weighing the pros and cons, there is no place for axioms and truth.

"Your Highness, this old slave is guilty and it is not appropriate to leave the palace for too long, so I will go back first!"

Taking a deep breath, Eunuch Han kowtowed and left.

Before leaving, he looked deeply at the prince.

This is the last time I look at His Highness the Crown Prince in my life.

The moment he turned around, Eunuch Han seemed to see a striving child. He was a young prince who was determined to be a wise emperor and to let everyone in the world live a prosperous life.

But the years have changed, and His Highness the Crown Prince's eyes are no longer blazing, but are becoming colder and colder.

well……

In this case, I'd better give my life to Qin Jinyang.

There are only two people who treat me sincerely.

…

In fact, when Eunuch Han came to the Prince's Mansion, besides making a complaint, he had one more thing to do...

His life can completely cure the prince's strange disease.

He has been living just waiting to meet the prince.

Eunuch Han also thought of many ways to see the prince, but unfortunately the prince fell ill and could not see anyone, so he was helpless.

Fortunately, Qin Jinyang appeared.

This person made Eunuch Han feel valued again.

That's how people are.

One thought is loyalty, the other is sentimentality.
