Chapter 566: A Visitor at Night
The long wind blows through the treetops, and the sound of the leaves beating adds to the coolness of the night.
Chu He sat cross-legged in the ashram, not cultivating, but exchanging information with the little monk Jielu.
He has now entered the court, and the little monk is far away in the rivers and lakes, one near and one far, so that he can see the situation thoroughly.
Chu River does have a part of the prophetic prescience bonus from the history books, but history is a little girl who is dressed up by others, and it has been passed down to future generations, which has been at least partially distorted.
What's more, the world is different, and perhaps some subtle differences will also lead to decisively different results.
The dark wind blew into the quiet room, and Chu He suddenly got up and slapped it with one palm.
Syllable!
The space stirred up circles of folds, and a man wearing a black dress, with a cold face, high eyebrows, sunken eyes, a long nose and a small mouth, and a layer of white makeup powder on his face, appeared directly opposite the Chu River.
"Dao Chang's cultivation is really profound, and my father has made three points of strength, but he still can't help you. The man's voice was sharp, but deliberately suppressed.
Hearing this, Chu He said lightly: "If the Duke of Chu has any orders, he can come to visit, and if he can help, he will not refuse." But... I think that Chu Guogong doesn't need the help of the poor Dao, after all, those pills of the poor Dao are useless for Chu Guogong, and they just add to the sadness. ”
Just the moment of the fight, Chu He recognized the identity of the comer.
Qiu Shiliang, the lieutenant of the Zuo Shence Army, the general of the hussars, the envoy of the Guan Army, the commander of the left and right armies, the governor of the province and other important positions, the title of the Duke of Chu, and the most important thing is that... He was a eunuch.
Ministers could not interfere with foreign courts, which was only explicitly stipulated in the Ming Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs who were appreciated by the king could also be crowned generals, ministers, and even have titles.
Being a eunuch can do such a thing as Qiu Shiliang, which is already extremely remarkable.
Pushing up for decades, although Colliers's fame is far greater than him, it is not as good as talking about real power.
The only one who really crushed Qiu Shiliang was Wang Shoucheng, who had abolished three emperors.
As for why this powerful eunuch came to find him, Chu He understood after being slightly stunned.
Li Deyu came to him many times to 'ask', and it was not some unknown secret.
What's more, Qiu Shiliang was originally the lieutenant of the Divine Ce Army, and among the three hundred Divine Ce Army in Chu He's Immortal Concept, he didn't know how many of this old eunuch's eyeliner.
At present, Li Deyu and Li Yanjun are in harmony, first clearing their relatives, and then fighting against the Uighurs, which has turned the world upside down.
Before the autumn wind arrived, Qiu Shiliang should have faintly sensed some changes, so he came to him, wanting to get an answer from him.
Therefore, Chu He deliberately used some frivolous words, wanting to stimulate and anger Qiu Shiliang, but instead put the other party at a disadvantage in terms of mentality.
It's just that Chu He's plan did not work out.
After Qiu Shiliang heard this, he nodded and said: "Dao Chief's elixir, my father has also obtained a few pills, although it is useless to my father, but there are many godson under my father's seat, and the enemy family can also use it." If the Taoist chief is not stingy, he might as well give more to his father. ”
said that he was a godson, but in fact, Chu He knew that most of the great eunuchs with some means, the so-called godson accepted by them was enough to be called his own son.
These godsons have basically been exchanged for blood and veins, and in a way, they have inherited the bloodline of eunuchs. Then they will be reduced to fertility machines, creating true blood descendants for the eunuchs.
In a sense, the word 'borrowing chickens to lay eggs' is also very vivid.
"Since the Duke of Chu is interested, there is no reason for the poor Dao to be stingy. But I don't know what the purpose of Chu Guogong is here tonight?" Chu He's right palm, which was behind him, trembled slightly.
I was a little careless with this old eunuch before.
The old eunuch's true yuan was filled with a cold and evil aura, and at this moment, Chu He's palm was invaded by this true yuan, and it swelled slightly, and every inch of skin was painful like a pinprick.
However, thanks to the Nine Turns Xuangong that was forcibly laid half of the foundation by Erlang God, Xuangong passively exerted force, although the foundation was still thin, it was slowly wearing away this strange force, and even absorbed it as a part of Xuangong.
Qiu Shiliang looked at Chu He with a smile, and there was a hint of smugness in his eyes.
Chu He's urgent question, in his opinion, was because of the domineering and vicious aura in his palm, which was difficult to suppress.
Therefore, in his heart, he had a slightly more accurate assessment of the specific strength of Chu He.
"I entered the palace as a eunuch during the period of Taizong, followed the cultivation of the elders in the palace, survived Taizong, Emperor Wu, saw the beauty of Concubine Yang, experienced the Anshi Rebellion, and secretly blocked countless ill-intentioned people for the royal family, and it was enough to say that I had worked hard and made great achievements. Now my father-in-law is just receiving some due remuneration, but the master is too stingy, always thinking about driving away my old minister, who has worked hard for most of his life, but it is chilling. Qiu Shiliang looked bitter, as if he had come to Chu He to complain.
Chu He was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that the old eunuch in front of him was still a historical legacy of the Taizong period.
But it's normal, the emperor can't practice, he can't live forever, but the eunuchs around the emperor can, they have always been the last line of defense to serve and protect the emperor, and it is a matter of course for the royal family to train some eunuchs who have practiced.
It's just that the heroic martial arts of the Ether Sect never thought that sooner or later, these eunuchs would be too big to lose their tails?
"Maybe I didn't dig enough in the previous copy of the Divine Capital. There are many secrets hidden under the court, which I have not yet noticed. Chu He quickly cut off his divergent thinking and continued to focus on what was in front of him.
Listen to the old eunuch Qiu Shiliang continue: "Dao Chief, do you think that it is good to live for many years in the current saint?"
The moonlight shined through the window and sprinkled on Qiu Shiliang's face, hanging like a zombie.
Chu He was not moved by these words at all, but only sneered.
Compared with Wang Shoucheng, Qiu Shiliang is like a reckless man.
He thought he could be the second Wang Shoucheng, or even better, but in fact, it was far inferior.
As early as when he guarded Li Yan's ascension to the throne, he was already doomed, and sooner or later he would be kicked away like garbage, but he didn't have such a consciousness.
Eunuchs are in power and cannot be tolerated in the world.
Only by coercing the Son of Heaven and acting in the name of the Son of Heaven can he commit murder in the world.
And Li Yan, who was raised by Qiu Shiliang, is already an adult prince himself, with his own ideas, his own team and strength, and most importantly, ambition and ambition, even if his strength is far inferior to him at first, but once he becomes a treasure, he holds great power and gets the country. It was completely different, and how could he control it?
Wenzong is not without young sons, but he is just a poor worm who is used by Li Yan.
Now that he realized that Li Yan had completely gotten out of control, and even wanted to counteract him, he had murderous intentions, and wanted to achieve the goal of poisoning Li Yan's pill by controlling the Chu River, poisoning Li Yan, and then establishing a new emperor.
