The officer broke into the tent quite suddenly, fell to the ground quite suddenly, and the drenching blood on his body was even more sudden ……
Everything was so sudden!
The Duke of Wei and Marquis of Linhuai who were showing Zhu Pingan what it means to be calm as a mountain when the wind and rain do not move, and to not change their faces when a mountain crumbles in front of them, were shocked and the wine in the wine cups they were holding all spilled.
On the other hand, Zhu Pingan, who they said was not as determined as he was, was looking at the fallen official without changing his face.
This person was sprawled on the ground, unable to see his face, wearing a beautifully ornate flying fish suit, and his back was drenched in blood.
“Who! Dare to trespass the marshal tent?!”Wei Guo Gong’s shout was a bit shrill, with the afterglow of shock.
“Murder, murder ……”
The official who fell to the ground supported the ground with his hands, trembling and raising his head, a face full of horror and despair, his face as white as windowpaper, his mouth half-open, his upper and lower teeth fighting, letting out a sharp, hoarse shriek of alarm, repeating the shouts of Murder, Murder ……
He supported the ground with his hands, trying to climb up, but due to shivering hands, shivering legs, and shivering all over his body, causing him to be unable to climb up in any way, he could only barely manage to support himself.
This was a eunuch!
Zhu Pingan saw his face and heard his voice and came to a conclusion. This official was around forty years old, without a single beard on his face, and was even powdered, and the voice of the terrified screamer was also in the characteristic misogynistic accent of a eunuch.
“Ah? Eunuch He? It’s you. What’s wrong with you?!”Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai instantly recognised the eunuch as Eunuch He after he lifted his head, their faces couldn’t help but change drastically, and they scrambled to get up and leave the table, taking three steps forward, and assisting Eunuch He with one arm on each side.
Eunuch He? Zhu Pingan’s brain was running at a fast pace, running through the people who had enough weight in Yingtianfu, the eunuch surnamed He, who also let Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai be so respectful, could only be the Zhenguo eunuch He Sui!
“Murder, murder ……”Eunuch He obviously hadn’t recovered from the shock and just repeated the words.
“Eunuch He you killed someone?!”Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai revealed a shocked expression when they heard this.
No wonder Eunuch He was covered in blood, no wonder he was so panicked, so he had killed someone! Eunuchs are eunuchs after all, this courage and determination is worse than Zi Hou, look at this appearance, shivering like chaff.
“All right, Eunuch He do not worry. How can you kill people, must be that person is full of evil, evil, you know the autumn and autumn hair, the candle of its treachery, caught the evil person, on its clear punishment, as a warning to others.”
Duke Wei smiled faintly and said to Eunuch He with a confident and comforting face.
“That’s right, you are not killing people, you are enforcing the law and making a merit.”Marquis Linhuai also followed suit and said in relief.
“Aigoo! What is I killed someone!”Eunuch He was helped up by Duke Wei and Marquis Lin Huai, walked two steps finally came back to his senses, touched his neck to make sure his head was still on his head, heard Duke Wei and Marquis Lin Huai say that he had killed someone, immediately slapped his thighs with both hands, and said with urgency and anger.
“Right, right, right, of course it’s not you who killed someone, you are the law enforcement.”Duke Wei and Marquis Lin Huai looked at each other and laughed.
“I bah! What are you guys thinking! It wasn’t me who killed anyone! It’s the rebels outside, the rebels killed people!The Zhenwu Battalion has mutinied and rebelled! Huang Maoguan, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was killed by the rebels! Poor Lord Huang, he was hacked to pieces by the rebels in front of my family! If I hadn’t run so fast, I would have been chopped to pieces by the soldiers too!”Eunuch He was even more anxious and angry, and when he said that Huang Maoguan, the right minister of the Ministry of Household Supervision and Reserve, was killed by the rebel soldiers, his face was overflowing with horror.
“What? Zhenwu camp really mutinied! Governor Custodial Servant Huang Maoguan was even killed by the chaotic soldiers?!”When Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai heard this, their eyes went black, their ears buzzed, and their entire bodies went soft with fear.
They are hereditary military officials, often mixed with military camps, too clear about the harm of the soldiers mutiny, soldiers mutiny is not a joke, often accompanied by the killing of officials rebel, the most dangerous at this time is the generals, because the mutiny of the soldiers of the first open object is often the generals, this time either by the chaotic soldiers hostage (by the chaotic soldiers hostage, just to save their lives for a moment, the court turned back to liquidate surely, which is to punish the nine clans of the felonies), either by theThe chaotic soldiers sacrificed the flag ……Now the chaotic soldiers are the Ministry of Household Supervisor Reserve Right Servant Huang Maoguan killed, more illustrative of the seriousness and danger of this mutiny!
“Aigoo ……”
Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai two scared soft, hands suddenly no strength, Eunuch He shivering himself and can not stand, only had time to let out a cry of alarm, the whole person again once again planted down.
“Eunuch He be careful.”At this time, a pair of hands reached out from behind Marquis Linhuai, accurately grabbed one of Eunuch He’s arms and held him up, avoiding Eunuch He’s second close contact with the ground.
“Whew, scared me to death.”Eunuch He was stunned.
“Eunuch He ……”It was only then that Duke Wei and Marquis Lin Huai reacted, a layer of cold sweat broke out on their backs, and they hurriedly held Eunuch He and helped him to sit on a chair.
After Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai placed Eunuch He on the chair, they gratefully glanced at Zhu Pingan, fortunately Zhu Pingan held him up, if he had fallen Eunuch He, even if this time he was lucky enough to get through the mutiny smoothly, he would have to be frantically put on his shoes by Eunuch He in the future!
“You are?”Eunuch He sat in his chair and looked towards Zhu Pingan who held him up to prevent him from falling on his face.
“He is Marquis Linhuai/my nephew-in-law, currently Commander Zhu Pingan of the Commander of the Zhejiang Tidings and Pressure Division.”Duke Wei and Marquis Linhuai introduced almost simultaneously.
“My son-in-law, Commander Zhu Pingan of the Zhejiang Criminal Prosecution Division, I’ve heard of Eunuch He’s great name for a long time, and I’m fortunate to meet him today.”
Zhu Pingan arched his hand and said.
The reason why Zhu Pingan was so polite was because the Zhenguo Eunuch’s official position and power was very prominent, it was one of the three most powerful figures in Yingtianfu, and even to some extent, the Zhenguo Eunuch could be said to be the highest military commander in Yingtian. Zhenshou eunuch is also known as Zhongguan. Originally “Zhenshou” this official position is the title of the military officials, is the general town side of the military officer, generally can only be filled by the general soldiers. However, in the Yongle years, seize the throne successfully Zhu Di opened the eunuch out of the town of the precedent, in the dispatch of the town of the generals at the same time, but also sent the eunuchs accompanied by, called the “town eunuchs”, not only that, Zhu Di also gave the town eunuchs of the Marquis of clothing, so that the position of the generals on top of the generals, responsible for the supervision of all the generals. If it is in the public hall row, then, Duke He to sit in the chief, Duke of Wei can be on the seat, as for the Marquis of Linhuai, can only side sit only.
In addition, Yingtianfu in the Ming Dynasty, a very high status, is to stay in the capital, the emperors should be special attention to the heavenly eunuchs, because of its task is to “guard to stay in the capital, for 3,000 miles away from the relatives of the minister”. This Eunuch He must have been newly appointed by Emperor Jiajing, otherwise he could not have become the Eunuch of Yingtian.
That is why Zhu Pingan was so polite.
