eunuch

Chapter 13 Entering Beijing
Yujing.

The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Longevity.

Three figures came here in the darkness, passing through numerous guard posts.

It was King Jing, his son, and He Canghai, the master of the Taiwu Hall, who came from Jingzhou day and night.

King Jing used the technique of deceiving the sky and crossing the sea to let himself and his son's fake bodies travel by water to lure all possible enemies, but the three of them traveled hundreds of miles a day with light horses and horses, and finally arrived at Yujing late at night on the third day.

All went well.

Perfectly avoided all intercepting forces.

Both sides of the Hall of Eternal Life are filled with candles, making the hall as bright as day.

And on the front wall of the main hall, there is also a portrait posted impressively.

It is the same as the portrait in King Jing's Bell and Drum Hall.

Only this one is bigger.

And under the portrait, sat an old figure with white hair.

Compared with more than a month ago, the Qianhuang now looks like a living dead, almost unable to sense life.

And on the other side of the hall, stood a figure in a gray robe.

Leaning against the pillar of Panlong Palace, holding a gray sword in both hands.

Moreover, this figure has a face, like a ghost, without any facial features, as if it had been cut off alive.

Even though the three of King Jing came in, the faceless man in the gray robe did not move, like a sculpture.

"Brother."

When King Jing saw Emperor Qian who was sitting upright, he hurried over and knelt down.

The prince next to him also quickly knelt down.

The old eunuch He was standing next to another pillar of the Panlong Palace, and the faceless man in the gray robe, just like the emperor's left and right attendants.

"You are here."

Emperor Qian raised his head slowly, revealing a skinny face full of black blood vessels, which only shocked the eldest son Su Zhe.

He hadn't seen the emperor's uncle for a long time.

The former Qianhuang was over sixty years old, but he was still handsome and majestic.

It can't be linked with the image in front of me at all.

King Jing's lips trembled.

He knew that Emperor Qian had gone mad before, his body was devastated, and now he was poisoned into his heart veins, so he might really die soon.

It's just that now it is relying on a body of extremely strong innate true energy to forcibly support it.

Before the warrior dies, he needs to release his kung fu.

The process of San Gong will be extremely painful.

"Arrange Xiao Zhe in the secret room, and then we will begin."

Qianhuang smiled lightly.

Tiger Leaping Gorge.

Yokogawa's chains were cleared.

Due to the serious damage of the first building ship, it can no longer be used.

Therefore, everyone and supplies on this ship were moved to two other large ships.

Although the time of the attack was short, the loss of personnel was severe.

The sailors had no loss, mainly the eunuch guards, private soldiers, and worship warriors, at least nearly half of them were lost.

Those who survived were basically wounded.

There are not many people who are as unscathed as Ye Cheng.

When it was dawn, the two boats set sail again.

After arriving in the waters of Yunhu Lake, the two boats of King Jing's Mansion docked at the pier of Yunmeng City, and they will go by land next.

The seriously injured stayed in Yunmeng City to recuperate.

The dead are buried on the spot.

The rest of the convoy of people and horses passed through the official road and headed towards Yujing.

Then it went much smoother.

There was no attack.

However, the team is still on high alert.

Wait until evening.

The team rested at a post station in a town.

In the room, Ye Cheng saw Zhao Yinglian spit out a mouthful of black blood, and quickly caught it with a bowl.

"Godfather, how are you doing?"

Seeing that Zhao Yinglian's face became much ruddy, Ye Cheng asked quickly.

"The stasis of qi and blood has almost been cleared, and there is nothing serious."

Zhao Yinglian said with emotion, "I'm really old, and I can't accept my old age. If those people didn't retreat, our family would have to be reimbursed."

Although the cultivation base is older and stronger, and the actual combat experience is also richer.

But after the body's function deteriorates, it will affect the overloaded use of internal energy and true energy, and it will not be able to display the true power of martial arts.

In a battle of the same level, it is very disadvantageous.

Innate warriors are fine, they have the effect of prolonging life, and the body will age slower.

Inner Qi and Acquired warriors, as they get older, their strength will basically decline severely.

"Daddy, can I ask a question?"

Ye Cheng couldn't help asking.

"what is the problem?"

Zhao Yinglian said with a smile.

"This time the prince and the prince entered the capital, what exactly is it?"

Ye Cheng asked the doubts in his heart.

The attack on the fleet before was obviously aimed at King Jing and his son.

King Jing and his son's entry to Beijing must involve a big deal.

He didn't want to lose his life without knowing anything after entering Beijing.

"Hehe, our family knew that you couldn't help but ask."

Zhao Yinglian chuckled, "I couldn't say it before, but now? It's okay to tell you. If things go well, the prince will become the new emperor of my Dagan Kingdom."

hiss!
Ye Cheng couldn't help but gasped.

This is more than a big deal.

Totally earth-shattering.

The struggle for the throne in the past dynasties was extremely fierce, even cruel and bloody.

This time when entering Beijing, the fleet was attacked, so we can see how dangerous it is.

"Don't worry, the lord should have already arrived in Yujing with a plan to hide the sky and cross the sea this time. As long as nothing happens, the odds of winning will be on the lord's side."

Zhao Yinglian said.

In fact, he had no idea.

Although King Jing has the advantage, no one is sure if there will be any accidents.

Once an accident occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable, and I am afraid that the whole country will be in chaos.

Ye Cheng nodded, but he couldn't feel at ease in his heart.

It's good that King Jing became the emperor. As the guard eunuch of Prince Jing's mansion, he must have some benefits.

But if it fails, it will be miserable.

He's probably going to die.

In a blink of an eye, ten days passed.

The troops of King Jing's Mansion crossed Quanzhou and Suzhou, entered Yuzhou, and arrived at Yujing in three days' journey.

This morning, news suddenly came.

"Your Majesty passed away and left an imperial edict, passed on to King Jing."

This great news greatly boosted the morale of the people in Prince Jing's Mansion.

The chief eunuch, Zhao Yinglian, ordered that the convoy be divided into two teams. Five congenital warriors led a part of the guard eunuchs to worship.

And Ye Cheng was also in the vanguard.

Everyone knew that King Jing's ascension to the throne was imminent, and everyone, as cronies of King Jing's mansion, would definitely be reused.

At the same time, this news spread to all states and counties in the world at an alarming speed through various channels.

For a time, the world shook.

Many forces are ready to move.

It only took half a day for the advance team of Prince Jing's Mansion to arrive at Yujing.

At this moment, Yujing has already been under martial law.

The inspections are extremely strict when entering and exiting the major city gates of Yujing.

Moreover, a large number of imperial guards and city defense troops were also mobilized one after another, making the atmosphere in Yujing extremely tense.

Yecheng's party of nearly a hundred people was flying the banner of Prince Jing's Mansion, and with the support of people from King Jing's Mansion in Yujing, they were quickly allowed to enter.

Arrived at King Jing's Mansion in Yujing.

Yu Chiyan, the commander of Prince Jing's private soldiers, was already in Yujing.

At this moment, he took King Jing's warrant and began to issue orders, mainly to insert people from King Jing's mansion into the Imperial Guard Army, City Defense Army and other important military institutions.

Although these armies and military institutions were all controlled by the late emperor's cronies and close officials, they were not trained by King Jing after all.

Nearly a hundred people have arrangements.

Including Yecheng.

In name, he was only an internal martial artist, but he was also assigned a rather important position, Zuo Jiancheng, the military commander of the Taiwu Palace.

Zhengwupin.

It is equivalent to him being promoted to two major ranks at once.

As for Zhao Yinglian, the chief eunuch of King Jing's Mansion, she reached the sky in one step and became the admiral eunuch of Taiwu Hall.

Wearing a purple robe is a top grade.

The many guard eunuchs who were assigned to the Hall of Supreme Martial Arts all put on a white coat that had been prepared long ago, and then, led by Zhao Yinglian, left King Jing's Mansion, at least heading straight for the Hall of Martial Arts.

Taiwu Hall is next door to the imperial palace.

In other words, it was originally one with the palace.

The size of the area is not small.

There are more than a dozen large and small institutions in the Hall of Supreme Martial Arts alone.

The scale is not much smaller than the eunuch department in the palace.

It was evening now, the gate of Taiwu Hall was wide open, and some eunuchs who were at least blue-clothed and above were already waiting here.

Among them were two eunuchs in purple robes.

Those who can wear purple robes are at least first-rank eunuchs.

Without exception, all eunuchs also wore white clothes.

After all, Emperor Qian had just passed away, eunuchs and maids in the palace, ministers of civil and military affairs outside the palace, and even the Bai people in Yujing all had to wear filial piety clothes.

"Palmprint eunuch Xu Liang, welcome to Lord Governor."

"Gao Yuan, the eunuch of Bingbi, welcome to Lord Governor."

Under the leadership of the two eunuchs in purple robes, many eunuchs from the Taiwu Hall visited the newly appointed eunuch Zhao Yinglian.

Both the palm print eunuch and the pen eunuch belong to the first rank.

And the admiral eunuch is the first grade.

In name, Zhao Yinglian is the boss of these two purple-robed eunuchs.

Originally, there were no admiral eunuchs in Taiwu Hall, King Jing re-established the position of admiral eunuch in order to place his confidants in Taiwu Hall.

The admiral eunuch is in charge of all the affairs of the Taiwu Hall, but regardless of official duties, he is not responsible for awarding awards, but the eunuch who holds the seal and the eunuch who holds the pen is responsible to the admiral eunuch.

In fact, there is only one person with the highest authority in the Hall of Great Martial Arts, and that is He Canghai, the ancestor of the eunuch.

"Eunuch Xu, Eunuch Gao, this is the first time for our family to be on duty in the Hall of Great Martial Arts, and we are not familiar with it. I will ask you two father-in-laws to support you in the future."

Zhao Yinglian said with a smile.

He had stayed in Prince Jing's mansion for decades, and he was not in the same circle as the eunuchs in Yujing.

If King Jing hadn't gained power, he, a small chief eunuch in the royal residence, would be far superior in terms of status, not to mention these two first-rank purple-robed eunuchs, even those red-robed eunuchs who hold real power. Not as good.

That's what the saying goes.

Next, Zhao Yinglian, the newly appointed admiral and eunuch, immediately placed the people she brought with her in various departments of the Taiwu Hall, and conducted a thorough investigation of the Taiwu Hall.

He must master the Taiwu Hall as quickly as possible to play a role in the next prince's ascension to the throne.

The two purple-robed eunuchs, Palm Print and Bingbi, of Taiwu Palace had already received the order of the palace master, and they cooperated very well, saving Zhao Yinglian a lot of time.

At this moment, Ye Cheng followed two blue-clothed eunuchs to the Military Division.
