The eunuch Wang Gou'er's face was very haggard, he dragged the iron chain, stood with his back bent, and did not answer Zhu Gaoxu's words for a long time. He looked up at the sky outside the western window.

The sun had already set, but the last rays of light remained in the western sky. Wang Gou'er looked at the orange on the edge of the black cloud, and his eyes gradually became vivid.

I don't know if he hasn't seen the sky for too long, or if he still lingers on the scenery of the world, Wang Gou'er is very fascinated.

Zhu Gaoxu observed the expression on his dirty face, and did not care about Wang Gou'er's rudeness in not answering the emperor's words. After a while, Zhu Gaoxu also turned his head curiously, admiring the remnant cloud in the direction Wang Gou'er was looking.

Originally, it was a matter of trial and conviction of guilt, but somehow, Zhu Gaoxu clearly felt a little sad.

"If the world is not afraid of death at all, the world will definitely be unable to govern." He said casually.

Wang Gou'er turned around, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "The slave and maid tell the saint the truth, can the saint make the slave and maid happy?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded solemnly and slowly, and said very smoothly: "I have always been very creditable. ”

Wang Gou'er bent his waist down again: "Holy benevolence." ”

His voice was not loud, and he felt weak, and after saying those four words, he was silent for a long time......

A dark sky gradually appeared in front of Wang Gou'er's eyes. The light on the earth and on the horizon is dim and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is the embers of fire or the sunset. He seemed to hear the slight "crackling" of wood as it burned.

That was many years ago, and Wang Gou'er was only a few years old at the time; He only remembered that there was a sea of fire on all sides, and that there were tragic cries all around him, but he didn't quite know what was going on.

It was only later that he learned the general outline of the matter from the mouths of people in the DPRK and China. But there is no official record of that incident at all, and the traces have been deliberately erased.

The thing is roughly that because the officials and troops continued to go on a northern expedition and exploited the army and the people, there was a civil rebellion and a mutiny in the local area at the same time, and the rebels rushed into the acropolis and killed the generals and officials. coincided with the return of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, from the northern expedition, and when he heard the news, he immediately led his army south and suppressed the rebellion! Moreover, the Ming army had just returned from a hard battle outside the Saiwai, and the anger was very heavy, and the king of Yan ordered the troops to kill and plunder! Wang Gou'er's family was just a common man in a village, but it was also implicated, and the entire village was burned there.

Wang Gou'er listened to the ins and outs of these things, and he didn't feel deeply.

What he still remembers are some of the scenes he saw with his own eyes. He was hidden under the bed by his mother, told not to speak, and then he saw Soldier A in the house, sticking a knife into his father's body! He saw his father and mother staring at him in a daze, with round eyes and lying in a pool of blood!

Wang Gou'er survived. But then he was found by the officials of the government, and he was castrated, and then he was sent to the palace with other children; Part of Wang Gou'er's body was forced to leave him at that time.

…… Many eunuchs in the Hongwu period came from the little boys caught in the war; They were castrated from an early age and trained to become slave eunuchs. Wang Gou'er is one of them.

However, the officials seemed to have made a mistake when making the book, and they reversed the origin of Wang Gou'er and another little eunuch. Therefore, the file that records Wang Gou'er says that he is from Yunnan and is dedicated by Mu Ying.

So soon after, Wang Gou'er was sent to the Yan Palace, and everything started because of the mistake in that file; Otherwise, the eunuchs selected by the palace to send Yan Wangfu would not pick a person with a background like Wang Gou'er.

At first, Wang Gou'er was in Yanwang's Mansion, he was not very old, he was called every day, he was busy with work, and he could only care about whether he could have food in front of him.

It wasn't until many years later that Yunwen's father-in-law and horses quietly appeared in Beiping. Ma Quan said that he knew that Wang Gou'er harbored evil intentions! Because King Yan is Wang Gou'er's great enemy, he killed all Wang Gou'er's relatives.

Then Ma Quan told the story of the negligence of the old file, because they found another eunuch who had made a mistake with Wang Gou'er's roster. Ma Quan asked Wang Gou'er to take refuge in Yun Wei and would help.

Wang Gou'er was young when he entered the palace, but he already remembered where he came from, and he understood that what Ma Quan said was true. Wang Gou'er could only agree to Ma Quan first, he was not only resentful, but also coerced by Ma Quan...... If Ma Quan told Zhu Di the true origin of Wang Gou'er, Wang Gou'er felt that his fate would be very miserable.

And the scene when he was a child was not only not forgotten by Wang Gou'er, but became clearer and clearer. What appeared most in Wang Gou'er's mind were the two pairs of eyes that gradually lost their minds!

His eyes were full of resentment and fear, as if he wanted to tell Wang Gou'er something. The two pairs of eyes have been hovering in Wang Gou'er's heart, as if they have been frozen somewhere forever.

That look wanted to tell Wang Gou'er: Do you want him to avenge his father?

In the countless days that followed, he kept thinking of the scene of that night, even if many years had passed, that clear picture seemed to be engraved in his mind! The seeds of hatred seem to be alive, able to take root and sprout slowly when the environment is right.

Wang Gou'er kept revealing news and doing all kinds of things to Yunwen's people. After a few years, he has clearly established his identity: he is a traitor of the Yunwen Party who lurks next to an enemy with a deep blood feud.

…… Because Wang Gou'er has been in Yanwangfu for a long time, he also made meritorious contributions in the "Battle of Jingyan", and gradually gained Zhu Di's trust. However, whether it is Ma Quan or Wang Gou'er, the things they do seem to be completely unable to change the general trend. In the end, Zhu Di won and ascended the throne as emperor.

At this time, "Ma Gong" had already changed. Later, Ma Gong asked Wang Gou'er to conspire with him to assassinate Zhu Di and avenge the loyalty of Jianwen Junchen!

Although Wang Gou'er had hatred in his heart, if he wanted to give up his life to do that thing, he would definitely die, and he was definitely lifeless, and he suddenly felt frightened. He couldn't lie to himself, after all, he was still a little afraid of death.

"Ma Gong" seemed to see Wang Gou'er's thoughts, and re-planned, leaving some way back for Wang Gou'er.

Among them, the preparations that caused the trouble to the head of the East Palace, Wang Gou'er also saw it, and thought that it was effective.

(It is also true that after that incident, no one can determine Wang Gou'er's guilt; Because Concubine Guo's suspicion is too great. It's just that the person who Ma Gong promised to take advantage of the chaos to save Wang Gou'er has never appeared. Later, Wang Gou'er was sure in his heart that that person only existed in lies, not at all! But at that time, Wang Gou'er could neither get out, nor confess; Otherwise, the great sin of killing the king will fall on the head, and it will not be so easy to think of death. ）

The plan is to do it in the East Palace, so that Zhu Di will be stabbed by a poisonous needle!

For the first time, Wang Gou'er hid a vial of poison needle on his body and followed Zhu Di Donggong, because he felt that the timing was not good, he hesitated; That opportunity was missed, and he didn't do anything.

So he had to wait for the next opportunity.

Whenever he thought that Zhu Di might go to the East Palace, he quietly hid the vial of the poison needle on his body. One day, I met the opportunity of Zhu Di to go to the East Palace! It just so happened that Wang Gou'er had estimated in advance that it was around the time of the unitary hour, and it was the time when Zhu Di might go to the East Palace, and Wang Gou'er also happened to have a small bottle on his body!

In advance, Wang Gou'er thought of various ways to release poison needles in his mind, such as on the chair and in the threshold; And I have repeatedly pondered what the right time is, what I should do, and even the details of the actions have surfaced in my mind countless times.

However, things often come unexpectedly!

None of the methods prepared earlier were used. Zhu Di came to the willow pond and watched his grandson pinch the mud toys with great interest, and Wang Gou'er suddenly felt the opportunity.

Sure enough, Zhu Di was interested for a while, and asked Wang Gou'er to dig the mud to pinch the clay figures. Wang Gou'er saw the opportunity in an instant!

…… At that time, the pool was sparkling with the sparkling sunset, and Wang Gou'er was shaken his eyes, and the real subtleties are still remembered clearly, as if it happened just now.

That wave of light reminded Wang Gou'er of the two pairs of eyes in his memory, and he decided for no reason at that time: This matter must be done!

The whole process is very simple, Wang Gou'er squats on a stone with his back to the pond bank; Then, while digging the mud, take out the prepared porcelain vase from the sleeve pocket; Make a groove in the mud, pull out the cork of the bottle, pour the iron needle in the cork and the poison in the bottle into the groove, and finally pinch the mud.

It's just a few simple actions. Wang Gou'er walked down cautiously, and when he came to the water's edge, he had already thought about a few movements twice. He even reminded himself not to dig in the mud that was too wet, lest the venom of the snake be diluted by the muddy water.

But such a simple thing, because the risk is too great and the consequences are too serious, Wang Gou'er remembers that his hands were shaking at that time, and he almost didn't do a simple thing well!

His mind went blank, he didn't feel scared or worried too much, only inexplicably nervous and dazed.

After Wang Gou'er handed Zhu Di his mud hands, the panic, fear, and worry in his heart gradually hit his heart.

……

After Wang Gou'er finished confessing, his voice became even more hoarse and he closed his mouth. The night had fully opened, and the night was dark beyond the lights. Zhu Gaoxu may not have said anything for a long time, and the room of the government office was terrifyingly quiet.

In fact, this matter, the whole plan looks like that at first glance, but careful scrutiny of the details of the plan has a certain possibility of failure. When Wang Gou'er really started, with Wang Gou'er's state at the time, as well as the lack of preparation for the temporary timing, and considering some accidents, the success of Wang Gou'er's assassination was not inevitable!

In the past, Zhu Gaoxu believed that the battle array was changing rapidly, and many factors were difficult to control; Now he suddenly felt that the same is true of the world, but it is just a matter of probability. How can man count everything?

Or because Zhu Gaoxu did not have a deep affection for his father, he did not have much anger and hatred at this time, only an indescribable feeling.
