Chapter 1101: The Governor
In a blink of an eye, it has been sixteen years since Wang Cheng was born, and at this moment, in a large hall of the palace that looks very dim and cold, a man wearing a bronze grimace mask and no one can see clearly is sitting on it, and a large group of eunuchs are kneeling below, none of them dare to raise to look at him, many people are extremely nervous in their hearts, obviously full of fear of this person.
I saw the ghost-faced man holding a notebook, and asked unhappily: "Regarding the theft of Jiangnan treasury silver, there are no clues yet?" ”
The ghost-faced man's voice was very cold, making people feel cold in their bones, and the eunuch commander below was trembling when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Qiyu Duke, this matter has been sent to investigate in detail, it seems to be related to the Grandmaster Ghost Shadow Thief, because it is not confirmed, so it has not been written in the memorabilia for the time being, please forgive the Duke." ”
This eunuch commander is a thousand households in the Ming Dynasty Dongtianwei, and he is majestic outside, even a first-class member does not dare to offend, but he is so afraid of this ghost-faced man, it is really amazing, but if you know the identity of this ghost-faced man, only people will take it for granted, because this ghost-faced man is the governor of Dongtianwei!
The Great Ming Wei is actually a special institution composed of eunuchs raised by the royal family, which is responsible for protecting the people in the royal family, monitoring hundreds of officials to collect intelligence, and is divided into east and west guards, and now this is the East Guard, mainly responsible for collecting intelligence.
This ghost-faced man doesn't seem to be very old, but he has won the trust of the emperor, and his strength and means are outstanding, less than a year after taking over the position of the governor of Dongtianwei Factory, he killed the henchmen of the former governor cleanly, and completely controlled the power, who will not be afraid of it?
"Three days, let me find out if the ghost thief did it, otherwise, dig a pit and bury yourself, don't waste my time again."
The ghost-faced man threw down the fold, and Qianhu immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and promised again and again that he would find out within three days, and then the ghost-faced man waved his hand and asked the others to leave, leaving only a small eunuch.
The ghost-faced man leaned back in his chair and said in a cold voice, "Tell me briefly about the major events that happened on the Tianen Continent this month. ”
"Yes, Governor."
The little eunuch trembled and remembered the information he had collected: "A prince of the Great Shang Empire was accused by the imperial envoy of forcibly robbing the people's daughter some time ago, and now he is impeached, and I heard that he may be relegated to the border wasteland. ”
"His Majesty of the Great Zhou Empire married another concubine, who is a princess among the barbarians, and it is said that the emperor of the Great Zhou Empire intends to unite a part of the barbarians to eliminate the remaining barbarians and completely solve this internal trouble."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of our country celebrates His Majesty's birthday, and specially invited the famous concubines from all over the continent to perform in the national capital, but it is said that there are demons who are eyeing her."
"The six princes met with all the scholars in the Wenyuan Building in the capital and had a very happy conversation."
……
After reading all the messages, the ghost-faced man waved his hand, the little eunuch bowed and retreated, and only the ghost-faced man was left in the hall.
What's even more shocking is that this ghost-faced man is only about sixteen years old, and he is only a sixteen-year-old boy, but he has become the Dongtianwei Governor of the Ming Empire, if it is spread out, I am afraid that no one will believe it.
"It's been sixteen years, and I haven't heard any miraculous characters, it's not quite right, the saint is born conscious like me, and after sixteen years of cultivation, he is definitely not an ordinary person, is it deliberately hidden?"
This young man is Wang Cheng, he has been in this plane for sixteen years, although because of the unfavorable start, it is impossible to cultivate dragon qi, and he cannot embark on the road of competing for the throne, but through repeated planning and several wonderful performances, he has persuaded His Majesty to successfully master the intelligence agency of Dongtianwei, in order to get the information of the saint as quickly as possible and make various reactions.
Saints, they must be extraordinary, no matter which one they are, they have basically created many miracles in their respective planes, so theoretically, they should be able to analyze it through intelligence, but so far, Wang Cheng has not suspected the target.
Some people may wonder, why did Wang Cheng think that there were saints in this plane?
In fact, the world of memory is actually not complete, except for the main plane of fusion, although there are many nether realms on the surface, most of those nether realms are illusory, and only the nether realm where the saint exists is real.
Therefore, there will definitely be a saint in the plane where Wang Cheng is reincarnated, and the Immortal Dao Saint only said that he was either in the Pangu camp or in other camps, and it was because of this that Wang Cheng would not have said that there would be danger at the beginning, but he didn't know which camp the saint in the plane Wang Cheng was in now belonged to where the saint made his fortune.
"Heavenly Grace Continent, martial arts? It's a bit similar to the Martial God Plane I went to in the Pangu Continent, does it belong to that saint? In that case, it's the enemy, but it's a pity that there is no memory of the other party, otherwise you will definitely be able to find the other party as quickly as possible, and you won't be looking for a needle in the bottom of the sea like now. ”
Wang Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, because of Ruyi's wish, he had indeed reached a plane that was very suitable for him, after all, his own martial arts were really high, even if he didn't have all his cultivation memories, it was also very suitable, it was better than running to a continent where magic and fighting spirit, he had never cultivated that kind of thing at all.
At the same time, Wang Cheng also became the eighth prince, and his wishes were basically successful, but unfortunately some accidents happened, so that he, the eighth prince, had to become a eunuch leader anonymously, and it was not so easy to cheat.
"Fortunately, I immediately decided to retain that true qi, and created the innate yin body the day after tomorrow, so that I can get my current identity and everything I have, otherwise it is estimated that he will be a cold palace prince, then it will be defeated, what I have to do now is to improve my strength as much as possible, and then find out the saint, if it is my own person, then there is nothing to say, if it is an enemy, he must be eliminated before he grows."
Wang Cheng thought of something, his hand shook, a bead appeared, smiled slightly, his hand shook, the bead was gone again, he still had a golden finger when he came to this world, he smiled slightly, got up and left to return to the backyard.
"Your Highness."
There was only one old eunuch with a childish face in the backyard, and when he saw Wang Cheng coming, he saluted respectfully, but Wang Cheng smiled and said: "Zhang Gong, I said that you don't need to be so polite, I was raised by you since childhood." ”
"His Royal Highness is the master, and the old slave is the servant, so naturally he can't lose his manners."
Zhang Gong said with a smile, but he sighed a little in his heart, at the beginning, this eighth prince survived because of himself, and because he became a heavenly eunuch, but the other party did not give up on himself at all, self-pity, but has worked hard since he was a child, and his qualifications are extremely high, and his attainments in the Yin Flower Recipe are extraordinary, and he mastered Dongtianwei at a young age, which is really a rare talent.
What's even more rare is that the eighth prince has always respected himself, the old servant who harmed his life, and really regarded him as his own relative, which made this old eunuch sigh without relatives and no reason, although he never said it, but he also treated the other party as his grandson in his heart.
"How can there be any master and servant, Zhang Gong, today the boys below have presented a jar of good wine, let's go taste the wine."
Wang Cheng smiled slightly, and helped Zhang Gong to walk inside, Zhang Gong did not refuse, because Wang Cheng wanted to hide his identity, so there was no one else in the cold palace of the eighth prince of Nuoda, only Zhang Gong was waiting, and Zhang Gong was also used to Wang Cheng's behavior of treating him as a relative, and sat down with him to drink slowly.
Zhang Gong thought of something and asked: "By the way, Your Highness, it will be Your Majesty's birthday in a while, and Your Highness will still come forward, I wonder if Your Highness's gift for this year is ready?" ”
"I'm ready, after all, I only show up once a year."
Wang Cheng smiled bitterly, and then said: "Speaking of which, this year, the eldest brother of the prince invited everyone to perform in Xiufei, which is a bit interesting. ”
The so-called concubines are actually equivalent to those singing female stars before the end of the world, Wang Cheng is actually not very interested, and he is also not interested in what appears as the true face of the Eighth Prince, but now playing this identity, he always has to play a few times, so as not to be suspected.
"Concubine Xiu, everyone? Although I haven't been out for a long time, I heard that the reputation is really big, I don't know how it compares to the glass back then? ”
Zhang Gong sighed, Wang Cheng replied casually, in fact, he knew very well that although Zhang Gong was demoted because of the attack on the queen and the matter of the eighth prince, he still dealt with the disgraceful things for the emperor, and still had a lot of power, and his disciples, or godsons, were many, Wang Cheng was able to master Dongtianwei so quickly, and Zhang Gong also made a lot of efforts behind him.
The two chatted for a while and gossiped, and at this time, Zhang Gong's cloudy eyes suddenly flashed, and he said pointedly: "Your Highness, it has been windy recently, be careful, don't be swept away by the wind." ”
"Zhang Gong, what qualifications does the guy I appear once a year have to be swept away by the wind?"
Wang Cheng smiled dumbly, he knew what Zhang Gong was talking about, His Majesty is now nearly fifty years old, although he is still alive and well because of his achievements in martial arts, but those who break through with the secret method of royal dragon qi, even if they become martial saints, their lifespan is difficult to exceed a hundred years old, and several of His Majesty's sons have grown up, so the question of heirs is a little turbulent.
The current crown prince is the eldest prince born to Emperor Yonghe and the queen, that is, Wang Cheng's eldest brother, I heard that he was born with purple light, and he was extremely noble.
But maybe it's because everything is going so well that this prince's character is a little problematic, it's not that there is anything about robbing people's daughters, but it's another more important thing - he likes men!
This is embarrassing, although there is such a problem as liking men, some people in the royal family also have it, but it is the prince, all eyes are on him, and there must be no such stain, and after Emperor Yonghe reprimanded him several times, the wayward prince did not restrain in the slightest, which caused him to fall out of favor a little.
In this case, the six princes rose, the sixth brother born to this noble concubine was both civil and military, both on the battlefield and in the war, and the reputation in the court and the opposition is very good, Corporal Lixian, many scholars are supported, and also worshiped the master of the first major martial arts sect of the Ming Empire as a teacher, plus the family behind his mother is also a very powerful family, so now the momentum is prominent, many people feel that the crown prince should be abolished and the six princes should be established.
The crown prince was naturally very dissatisfied, and the six princes could be said to be torn apart, and the two sides fought very fiercely, and Zhang Gong meant to let Wang Cheng not participate in the struggle between these two factions.
Hearing Wang Cheng's answer, Zhang Gong also smiled slightly, and didn't say much, although the birth defects of the eighth prince made it impossible for him to inherit the throne, but his identity and current status were destined to not escape this whirlpool, but as a servant, he could only mention it slightly, and it was absolutely impossible to say too much.
An old man and a young man were continuing to drink, and at this moment, a eunuch suddenly came to Emperor Yonghe's will, and the governor of Xuandong Tianwei Factory came to see him.
"It's the factory governor, not the eighth prince."
Wang Cheng pretended to be lost and shook his head, put on a mask, said goodbye to Duke Zhang and left, went to the imperial study, and after entering, Wang Cheng immediately saluted: "The minister sees Your Majesty." ”
The eunuch is the emperor's domestic slave, and generally speaking, they all call themselves slaves, but Wang Cheng's real identity is the eighth prince, so naturally he can't be called so, so he changed it to a minister, in the eyes of others, this is His Majesty's favor to the Duke of Dongtianwei.
"Get up, and go out first."
Emperor Yonghe nodded, and then motioned for the other eunuchs to leave, leaving only the old eunuch Dong Gonggong next to him, but this Dong Gonggong is the governor of the West Tianwei, and at the same time serves as the head of the palace, although it seems that the East and West Tianwei should be hostile, but in fact, in the Ming Empire, the relationship between the two sides is not so bad.
Because of the different responsibilities of the two sides, Xi Tianwei is mainly responsible for protecting the people in the royal family, while Dong Tianwei is supervising hundreds of officials and collecting intelligence, and there is no big conflict of interest, not to mention, Dong Gonggong knows Wang Cheng's identity, he is just a minion, and the eighth prince is the master, so Dong Gonggong does not dare to become an enemy of the king at all, and after everyone goes out, he even has to salute: "See Eighth Highness." ”
"Dong Gong is polite."
Wang Cheng took off his mask and saluted Emperor Yonghe again: "Erchen has seen his father. ”
"Well, eighth, I called you here today because I have something for you to do."
Emperor Yonghe glanced at Wang Cheng, his eyes were a little complicated, and then said, "You should have heard that the crown prince invited Concubine Xiu to attend my birthday, right?" It is said that some of the masters of the Demon Gate intend to be against her, and I want you to bring the elite of the Eastern Heavenly Guard to protect her, and before she leaves Beijing, I want you to kill all the masters of the Demon Gate, leaving no one behind. ”
"Yes, Father."
Emperor Yonghe's voice was full of murderous aura, although Wang Cheng agreed for the first time, his expression was very puzzled, it was just a play, how could he ask his dignified Dongtianwei Governor to protect her, the battle was too big, right?
And generally speaking, this protection should only protect the smooth performance of the other party's birthday, but now it is to kill the master of the demon gate to get rid of future troubles, this degree is too much, right?
"Could it be that this emperor wants to take Concubine Xiu as a concubine?"
Wang Cheng was suspicious, Emperor Yonghe hesitated, and said: "Eighth child, I don't hide it from you, Concubine Xiu is actually my daughter, that is, your sister, just because of some things, I can't take her back to the palace, but no matter what, I can't let her have anything to do, so I want you to protect her, those evil people from the Demon Gate actually dare to be unfavorable to her, you must destroy them all for me, understand?" ”
