False eunuch in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 42 Luo Mansion vs. Tian Ergeng
When Luo Sigong saw the servants coming, he knew that the inside was ready.Just wait until the time comes.

Luo Sigong has been an official for many years, and some friends in the official circle rushed over to celebrate Luo Sigong's birthday.Relatives and friends of the Luo family also rushed over one by one.Luo Sigong was supposed to receive the reception with a smile on his face all the time, no matter how he looked at it, there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Tian Ergeng is also a cautious person, otherwise he would not be able to climb to the current high position.He secretly observed Luo Sigong and his Luo family for a long time, but he didn't see anything wrong.

Luo Yangxing came out: "Master Tian, ​​my lords, my father is celebrating his birthday today, I didn't expect Lord Tian and all the other lords to come here in person. Thank you so much. My father specially prepared a special gift for our lords and Jin Yiwei brothers. One Hall, Lord Tian, ​​all adults, please follow me."

It is quite reasonable for the Luo family to arrange this way, after all, everyone is from the Jinyiwei, and it is not easy to entertain them if they mix with relatives and friends of the Luo family.In this way, a hall is specially prepared. Everyone is acquainted with each other, and they have common topics when they sit together.

When they arrived at the place, thousands of households in Jinyiwei were already waiting here, standing there one by one, and said in unison: "Welcome to the admiral, welcome to all the adults."

"Today is Master Luo's birthday, and I am a guest just like all the brothers. So don't be polite, everyone, sit down, sit down!" Tian Ergeng said.

Although Tian Ergeng said so, those thousands of households did not sit down.Luo Yangxing said with a smile: "Master Tian, ​​you have the most official position here, followed by all the lords, if you don't sit down, how dare you brothers sit down?"

"Hahaha, that's fine, everyone, then let's sit casually." Tian Ergeng said with a smile.

Although Tian Ergeng said he could sit casually, if he didn't take the main seat, who would dare to sit down?After being polite again, Tian Ergeng took the main seat.Xu Xianchun and others also sat down one by one.Those thousands of households were more casual, and each sat down with Unknown.

"Yesterday, I heard people say that you came to congratulate Mr. Luo on his birthday. I just said, this is a good thing. We are all colleagues of Jinyiwei, and we are brothers and sisters. Although Mr. Luo has retired, he will always be my senior Jinyiwei." Mr. Luo has the kindness to know you and promote you. If you don’t remember the kindness, I, Tian, ​​will be ashamed. Mr. Luo also has the kindness to know you. I am the same as everyone. If you want to thank Mr. Luo for your kindness Yes." Tian Ergeng said.

"Your Excellency, Admiral, Gao Yi." Everyone praised him.

When the birthday banquet started, Luo Sigong first came over to toast Jin Yiwei.

"Master Tian, ​​it is really an honor for you to come to my humble house. I dare to offer a glass to Mr. Tian." Luo Sigong drank the wine first.

"Lord Luo, you are polite. Tian is a junior, and you are a senior. Today, the junior came to celebrate the senior's birthday. Naturally, the junior should respect the elder first. How can the elder respect the younger's wine instead?" Tian Ergeng hurriedly stopped.

Xu Xianchun also echoed: "Yes, yes, Master Tian is right. Master Luo is an old man of our Jinyiwei. Although he has removed his armor, he is still a member of our Jinyiwei. This cannot be changed. Naturally, we must follow the rules of Jinyiwei Come."

"Don't dare. The old man is now an idler in the country. You are all important officials of the court. You can look up to the old man and come to the mansion to celebrate the old man's birthday. The old man is very grateful. Today a very important person came to the mansion. The old man wants to introduce him to Everyone knows." Luo Sigong said.

Luo Sigong looked back at the door, Cao Qingtian Shixian and others walked in from the door.

"Everyone, this is the most respected Eunuch Cao by the emperor's side, the new eunuch of the Military War Bureau. He has something to say to you." Luo Sigong said.

"Loyalty, trustworthiness, benevolence and bravery! These four words should be familiar to everyone, right?" Cao Qing walked in and said.

How are these four words unfamiliar to Jin Yiwei?Because these four words are engraved on the back of the waist card with him.

"Jin Yiwei first emphasizes the word loyalty. I don't know who you think this loyalty is? Is it loyal to the emperor? Or is it loyal to the powerful minister?" Cao Qing continued.

Tian Ergeng immediately flew into a rage: "Who are you? What is the purpose of such remarks?"

"The emperor's secret edict! Tian Ergeng listens to the edict!" Cao Qing took out a yellow silk cloth from his pocket and shouted loudly.

Tian Ergeng didn't know what to do for a while.Standing there and kneeling is neither, nor is not kneeling.

"Tian Ergeng, the imperial decree is here, do you want to resist the decree and disrespect it? Be loyal, benevolent and brave, aren't you loyal to the emperor?" Cao Qing asked.

"Who knows if what you hold is the real imperial decree?" Tian Ergeng sneered.

"So, do you doubt the imperial decree in my hand? If that's the case, why don't you kneel down first, accept the imperial decree, and then identify the authenticity of the imperial decree?" Cao Qing asked.

"If it's false, I'll kneel down and fake the imperial decree, which is also treason." Tian Ergeng said.

"You still know that you are a traitor! Come here, take down this traitor for me! Today I will show you whether the imperial decree in my hand is true or not!" Cao Qing shouted loudly.

When Cao Qing gave an order, the surrounding Qianhu immediately stood up.

"Whoever dares to move! The following offenders shall be beheaded!" Tian Ergeng shouted loudly.

"There is an imperial decree for this, why are you still hesitating?" Cao Qing said loudly.

"Hey! Don't you think about it, if you don't take me down today, aren't you afraid that I will settle accounts after the fall?" Tian Ergeng said loudly.

Xu Xianchun, Cui Yingyuan and others are Tian Ergeng's confidantes, they immediately got up and drew out Xiuchun knife to guard Tian Ergeng.

Since Tian Ergeng and others came to celebrate the birthday, they were wearing official uniforms, so they naturally also wore sabers.When entering the door, Luo Sigong was afraid that Tian Ergeng would see through the plan, how dare he have any objection to Tian Ergeng and others carrying knives?
Those Jinyiwei Qianhu also wore embroidered spring knives with them.This embroidered spring knife is extremely exquisite, and it was honored by Bingzhanju, but Cao Qing felt that this embroidered spring knife was a bit fancy but not useful.Flashy.Although it has certain practical value, the cost is too high.That fancy decoration on it makes up the biggest portion of the knife's cost.Picking up a piece of leftovers in a steel factory to make a firewood knife is more effective than this Xiuchun knife.

Even though facing Tian Ergeng and other titans, Cao Qing was not very afraid. Behind him was Tian Shixian leading more than a dozen capable men, and in addition, there were more than a dozen sharpshooters ambushing the guard battalion sharpshooter flags.Cao Qing even dropped two guns from his waist.This is a life-saving guy that he specially customized for himself.There are only two numbers in the entire Ming Dynasty.Even Zhu Youjian and Cao Qing were reluctant to give one.Zhu Youjian didn't need to fight the enemy, and it was a waste to take the pistol.Besides, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.Cao Qing still wants to leave a way out for himself.

Brush brush!
When a handle Xiuchun knife was pulled out from the scabbard, it made a chilling sound.Tian Ergeng's face turned cold, he knew that today's matter must not be good.Although he prides himself on his martial arts skills, these thousands of households are not easy to deal with.

"If you stop now, after I go back, I don't need to pursue your actions today. I only blame you for being bewitched by this little thief. Nine thousand years old is powerful now. If you can't catch me today, after I go back, how can you Is there a way out?" Tian Ergeng said.

"Lord Tian, ​​Admiral Tian. I would also like to advise you. Today is the emperor, wise and mighty. Although Nine Thousand Years has great power, he is still only the servant of the emperor. If the emperor gives him power, he will have power. If the emperor With his power taken away, he is an old eunuch. Cui Chengxiu is an obvious example. Mr. Tian is also a smart person. At this time, do you still have to hold the thigh of Jiuqian?" Cao Qing said.

"You mean the emperor wants to get rid of Nine Thousand Years? Hmph, is this possible? It's ridiculous. Do you think that if you subdue me, you can uproot Nine Thousand Years' power?" Tian Ergeng said.

"If the tiger's teeth are pulled out, no matter how fierce the tiger is, it will become a docile kitten. Mr. Tian, ​​if you are stubborn, you will never leave here alive today!" Cao Qing said.

"Then I want to see how you can prevent me from leaving here alive!" Tian Ergeng's face darkened, and he rushed towards Cao Qing quickly.

To capture the thief first, capture the king, Tian Ergeng thought that as long as Cao Qing was captured, these people would be able to make these people jealous.Then he can take Cao Qing hostage and rush out of Luo Mansion.

"Protect Eunuch Cao!" Luo Sigong shouted.Luo Sigong was old and strong, and took the lead in rushing forward with an embroidered spring knife.

Luo Sigong's martial arts were so powerful that Tian Ergeng didn't dare to underestimate him, so he immediately went up to them and fought together.I saw that the two were enveloped by a blade of light, and the sound of metal chopping each other kept ringing non-stop.

Xu Xianchun, Cui Yingyuan and others were also heartbroken, and rushed forward with their knives in hand.

"Catch that eunuch!" Tian Ergeng said.

Xu Xianchun immediately rushed towards Cao Qing.

"My lord Xu! We also came here to make a move." Tian Guangyun blocked Xu Xianchun's way.

"Let's go up together, be sure to keep the traitors here. If one escapes, catastrophe is imminent!" Cao Qing said.

All the thousands of households naturally knew the seriousness of the result, and immediately joined the ranks of the battle with the Xiuchun knife firmly in hand.
