Chapter 43: The Scapegoat

If the voice of the ministers in the main hall shouting long live is a cry of victory for the general He Jin and others, then for the 'Ten Standing Attendants' hiding in the depths of the harem, it is a death knell of life!

Although they are in the harem, there is an endless stream of little eunuchs who can report the situation back and forth, so they are clear about what happened in the front hall of the 'Ten Standing Servants', when they heard the arguments between the two sides in front of them, and they were already nervous when they could not decide on the ownership of the throne, and when the news of the first soldier went to the palace came, even the most calm Zhang Rang became like ashes, and the rest of the people were even more frightened and ugly, and a few of them were less courageous and even wet their shoes and pants.

"The matter has come to this point, and the only way to make a decision is to make a decision!" After contemplating secretly in his heart, Zhang Rang looked up at these partners who had begun to pack their bags and prepare to run away, a complicated gaze flashed in his eyes, and he asked softly: "Where can we eunuchs go after leaving the palace?" ”

A gentle word, but like a thunderbolt from the sky, everyone's panicked movements all stopped, and a few of the bags that had been packed were also thrown on the ground, the baggage skin was scattered, and the priceless jewelry and jade rolled down everywhere like garbage, but no one was interested in picking it up, "Yes, although the world is big, where can they go without leaving the palace......"

Eunuchs are also people, and if they mix well, they can get ahead and become a master, the imperial power is controlled by them, the government is controlled by them, and even the abolition of the emperor is operated by them in the dark, there is more than one emperor who died in the hands of eunuchs in history, and there are countless powerful ministers and famous generals who were killed and disabled by them. Especially the eunuchs at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty can be called the uncrowned emperor!

Eunuchs are not human beings, they are physically crippled, neither male nor female, when they are alive, they are a daily instrument in the eyes of the master, after death, not only can not enter the ancestral tomb, but also have no descendants to worship blood and food, they can only be reduced to lonely ghosts; The perennial dark life has made their psychology seriously distorted, some eunuchs love money, some eunuchs love power, some eunuchs take pleasure in torturing people, and even some are perverted to the point of eating human brains raw (not a small series of nonsense, there were eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty who listened to the words of the warlock: 'Eat more than a thousand children's brains, and its yang road can be resurrected as before,' is to buy children and kill them, and after a long time, the people have no will, and people are all over the place to steal and send in...... They're just a bunch of humanoid monsters.

Eunuchs are a derivative of imperial power, so whether it is good or bad, the value of their existence will always be in the palace, eunuchs have no roots, the palace is their roots, and they are also their tombs!

"The harem is our last place of survival, we must not lose anything, Jian Shuo, you immediately organize people, and be sure to ensure our safety!" Seeing that everyone finally calmed down, Zhang Rang immediately arranged, the little chicks still have to struggle before they die, not to mention that they may not die today.

Without saying a word, Jian Shuo tightly grasped the sword at his waist, got up and walked out, he was not afraid of death, overnight, they originally had an absolute advantage, their situation took a turn for the worse, the throne already belonged to others, and he felt that he had already had the will to die at this time when he was entrusted by Emperor Han Ling, he Jian Shuo was a sword that His Majesty the Emperor had hidden for a long time, and now when the sword was stained with blood, since it was not stained with the blood of the enemy, it was better to dye himself.

It is not a blessing to be able to follow the first emperor underground!

"Ancestor, how can we do now? …… Please also ask the ancestors to be the masters and save our lives! "The remaining eight people in the 'Ten Standing Attendants' kowtowed and begged again and again, and now their net worth and lives were all pinned on Zhang Rang's bright mind.

"At this point, if you want to calm the anger of He Jin and the others, the immortal person can't explain it," glanced around at the people who shrunk their necks into a ball, Zhang Rang's cold eyes slowly revealed a trace of murderous intent, and his dark eyes were full of bloodshot at this time, and his face, which was originally cold on weekdays, was distorted at this time, just like a 'demon conjuring spirit', and everyone avoided it wherever his eyes passed, for fear that the quota of death would fall on his head......

"Ancestor spare your life! Spare your life! It's so small that I don't want to die......" Seeing that the murderous gaze fell on his head the most, Zhao Zhong, whose scalp was fried, immediately began to kowtow desperately and beg for mercy, and there was liquid oozing from time to time on the wet pants, and he was one of the people who were scared of the diapers just now.

"It's not promising, I've been with me for so many years, and I haven't grown at all, don't worry, it's not for you to die, the weight of that stupid head on your shoulder is not enough!" Zhang Rang sneered and scolded, then said: "Now only by putting all the blame on Jian Shuo's body, can we have a chance to live, you go, take Jian Shuo's head!" ”

Zhao Zhong's mood can be described as a roller coaster, the first half of the sentence made him finally climb from hell to the clouds, but as soon as the second half of the sentence came out, he kicked him from the clouds to hell.

Jian Shuo, among the many eunuchs, he has always been known for his bravery and strength, and he is also quite accomplished in swordsmanship, ordinary warriors are not his opponents at all, otherwise Emperor Han Ling would not let him lead the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, and what about him Zhao Zhong? On weekdays, he will only slap horses, be greedy for money and sell officials, it's okay to play with swords, it's luck not to cut himself, let him kill Jian Shuo, wouldn't that be equivalent to sending his own head!

"Idiot! If it weren't for the lack of weight, the old man really wanted to hand you over," looking at Zhao Zhong who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, Zhang Rang really had the urge to kick him out, "The reason why I failed is definitely very related to these stupid partners, they are all pig-like teammates!" ”

Complaining is complaining, but the necessary explanations still have to be done, and now, pig-like teammates are better than nothing, at least they can be stabbed for themselves!

"It was Jian Shuo who mobilized the forbidden army in Xiyuan privately, it was Jian Shuo who wanted to kill the general's life, and it was Jian Shuo who falsely passed on the emperor's will, do you all understand?" Zhang Rang accentuated his tone and glared at the rest of the people viciously, at this moment, everyone must unify their words and splash all the dirty water on Jian Shuo's body.

"Understood! Got it! What the ancestors said is extremely true! Everything is done by Jian Shuo! With such a mentality, everyone immediately nodded again and again like chickens pecking rice.

"Zhao Zhong, you immediately go to Jian Shuo now and tell him that if you want to turn the tables, you must give up the car to protect the handsome! When the time comes, he will cut off his head for you himself! ”

"No!" Even though he was unwilling to do so in his heart, but under Zhang Rang's murderous gaze, he still ran out with a roll, and when he walked to the door, he heard Zhang Rang say another sentence in a low voice: "Tell him again, when you go underground, you will serve the first emperor well, He Jin, and he will soon go down to accompany him!" ……”

"Just offering Jian Shuo's head is not enough to save our lives, and the rest of the people immediately go with me to the Empress Dowager He to plead bitterly, remember, you must pretend to be pitiful and innocent, and you must not show your feet!" Saying that, Zhang Rang suddenly smashed his nose with a backhand, and suddenly the blood flowed, and he wiped a few handfuls on his face, and tore the gorgeous silk clothes on his body, and his hair was all dirty and messy.

The weak are the easiest to gain sympathy, if they are not weak, then pretend to be weak, as long as they twist their thighs hard, there will always be tears.

The rest of the people immediately followed suit, messing up their outfits, and the last group of beggar-looking people ran to the palace of the Empress Dowager He with tears and howls, and pretending to be pitiful with servile faces and knees was their strong point, because they were originally a group of minions, and this time it can be regarded as a performance in their true colors......

…………………………

In the Yangde Palace, the dragon chair of the little emperor Liu Wei has not yet been fully seated, and the liquidation of the victor's political enemies has begun, when the general He Jin is full of anger and wants to enter the harem to kill the 'Ten Standing Servants', I saw the eunuch Zhao Zhong holding a large silver plate with a trembling hand, covering a round thing with a red cloth, running all the way and trotting over, a few feet away from the kneeling on the ground, with an extremely flattering smile, kneeling forward with both knees in front of He Jin.

"Those who want to murder the general are all scheming, and they have nothing to do with slaves and maids! …… This is a shocking thing dedicated to the general in the palace, please smile! With that, he shook the red cloth on the tray, and then a bloody human head appeared in front of everyone.

It seems to be laughing but not laughing, it seems to be crying but not crying, and it is not blind to death!

"Boom! …… Hiss! ”
