Chapter 71 Battle
After the court meeting, Gao Quan's usual energy and energy returned to him.
He was no longer impatient, and the bubbles around his mouth didn't seem to hurt anymore.
It's just that his indifferent expression is no different from the past.
Although Emperor Liang commented that he was not flexible and had a dull mind.
But Gao Quan didn't become the greatest eunuch just by loyalty. If he didn't have any means, how could he make those little eunuchs who worked so hard to fear and surrender?
It was obviously him who informed Wen Yue of all the news, which caused huge changes in today's court meeting, but he never showed it.
Until the court meeting, he was still 70% concentrated, but with 30% worry about gain and loss, fear and cowardice.
The one who was afraid was none other than Emperor Liang.
The reason for being cowardly is that even if the former little eunuch came to his head, he would not dare to speak out.
The same is true now, not much has changed.
The Chief of Ceremonies and Supervisor Zheng who was following Emperor Liang had a different look on his face, a little absent-minded.
Emperor Liang had been observing the expressions of the two of them, but they were no different from what he was thinking.
Originally, Emperor Liang thought that Gao Quan had leaked the news that Marquis Jing'an was going to serve as the vanguard. At the same time, he also suspected the three prime ministers.
But looking at their expressions, none of them looked like they should have received the news in advance.
"Big companion."
"Autumn is coming, so put on more clothes."
Gao Quan paused, and tears suddenly flowed down his face.
He didn't dare to cry, so he quickly wiped it off and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will definitely remember it."
Unlike Gao Quan, Zheng Zhong's expression was a little more distorted, and his eyes were staring at Gao Quan with jealousy.
He already holds the two major powers of the internal affairs department.
Only the position of palm seal was tightly controlled by Gao Quan, and he still found an opportunity to leverage it.
Unexpectedly, Gao Quan would make a comeback.
No one expected this.
Only the eldest son of the Marquis of Jingan family recovered and entered the realm of internal refining.
The crippled marriage between Marquis Jing'an and Bo Annan actually affected his grand plan.
He originally wanted to get rid of Gao Quan first, and then move on those distinguished officials who had good relations with Gao Quan.
Who wants to jump out today and not be afraid of death?
OK!
Doesn’t Marquis Jing’an want to gamble his life?
Then let him fulfill it.
Zheng Zhong's distorted expression only flashed past, and he returned to his usual loyal look, following Emperor Liang respectfully.
Just like a little eunuch serving tea and water.
On the contrary, he does not look like a powerful eunuch who holds the two major powers of the Internal Affairs Bureau and can suppress Gao Quan, the palm seal.
"Pretend, keep pretending, we'll see how long you can keep pretending."
Gao Quan snorted coldly.
Marquis Jing'an is gambling, aren't they gambling with their lives?
Whoever loses will be removed from the center of power and assigned to guard the imperial tomb.
Better yet, he died of illness on the road.
Some people don't want them to die, so they will let them live and suffer torture.
After three to five years, people will be exhausted.
Gao Quan didn't want to end up like this, so he had to seize every opportunity to kill Zheng Zhong.
At least you have to make yourself and the opponent evenly matched.
I believe that Zheng Zhong is thinking the same thing now.
Emperor Liang stood in front of the fish pond in the Imperial Garden.
Grab a handful of bait from the jade box and throw it into the pond.
The goldfish swimming in the air immediately gathered in front of Emperor Liang, competing for bait and food.
Whenever he saw this scene, Emperor Liang felt very satisfied.
The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
The two eunuchs stood beside Emperor Liang like servants, keeping five or six steps away from the rest.
This distance would not disturb Emperor Liang.
He could also respond promptly when he heard Emperor Liang's orders.
Emperor Liang stood quietly in front of the pool, staring at the distant sky.
It would be a lie to say that there are no concerns and expectations for the North.
He is young, and of course he does not want to be just a conservative king. He also hopes to expand his territory and take back all the land that once belonged to Daliang.
It's a pity that God's will plays a trick on people.
Just because a good opportunity was missed, the subsequent beams began to slide as if their luck had reached its peak.
"The fortune is so illusory." Emperor Liang murmured.
Even Gao Quan and Zheng Zhong, who were standing about three steps away from Emperor Liang, didn't hear his voice clearly.
"I'm tired."
"The affairs of the Internal Affairs Bureau are busy, so you can go ahead."
Emperor Liang dismissed the two eunuchs who were following him with a wave of his hand.
The two of them did not dare to have any objections. After respectfully greeting the emperor, they walked backwards and left Emperor Liang's side.
They didn't get up until they retreated to the entrance of the Royal Garden.
Looking at each other, the two of them seemed calm.
"Eunuch Gao holds such a heavy weight in His Majesty's heart, which is really enviable."
Zheng Zhong spoke in a male voice, and even the smile on his face seemed unreal.
Gao Gao's face was as usual, but his heart was full of coldness: "Peng Sha? Our family doesn't know how many people have been coveted by Peng Kill. You are playing this trick with us."
His face was much gentler, and he said with a smile: "Not as good as Eunuch Zheng, now he is in charge of the two great eunuchs, Yu Ma and Clerk of Ceremonies. He is really glorious and makes others envious."
"Our family will not waste Eunuch Zheng's time."
Gao Quan left proudly.
Zheng Zhong stared at Gao Quan's back, his face twitching unnaturally.
As a eunuch, what do you hope to gain?
Of course respect.
Even if it's fear.
Physical disabilities also lead to psychological deficiencies.
Since everyone has chosen to be eunuchs, they must be inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people.
Zheng Zhong felt that this should be the case, otherwise why would he cut off his escape route.
Zheng Zhong returned to Neizhengsi with a gloomy expression on his hands.
Sixty to seventy percent of the Department of Internal Affairs' Yamen had fallen into his hands. With Wen Yue's downfall, Zheng Zhong made people accept his position and promoted the embroidered clothes to guard Nan Yamen.
Gao Quan only has 30 to 40% of the power left in his hands.
Even if he holds the title of Palm Print Supervisor, he is nominally the superior of all eunuchs.
But in reality, it's just a huddled up empty frame.
Zheng Zhong sat at the desk.
The angry flames blew up like a balloon, exploded in the chest, and went straight to the sky.
He slapped the document with one palm.
He said viciously: "Gao Quan, don't get too proud too early."
"Do you think a cripple who has recovered from his injuries can recover?"
"Since that cripple is your hope, our family will completely crush your hope so that you can never get up again."
Zheng Zhong stood up fiercely.
In order to kill Gao Quan, most of his operations were to gather strength and leverage Gao Quan's foundation.
I thought that the cripple was not far away from death even if he was not dead yet, but who would have thought that the second room of the Hou Mansion would be such a waste.
Not only did he fail to kill this cripple, but he was beaten to death by Grandmaster Cao Mang first.
Fortunately, the master was a fool. After taking revenge, he committed suicide in the Hou Mansion.
It was said that he wanted to repay Wen Yue's kindness back then.
What a stupid idiot.
If that grandmaster were still alive, he would really be a threat to people.
Now that the Grand Master is dead, even if Wen Yue breaks through to the Zang Refining Realm, he will still be a mortal after all.
Zheng Zhong wrote a secret letter, sealed it in a wax pill, and shouted: "Come on!"
The young eunuch guarding the door hurriedly walked in, quickly prostrated himself, and respectfully called him, "Godfather."
As he spoke, he raised his hands high as if to catch the wax pills.
Zheng Zhong put the wax pill into the eunuch's hand, closed his palms, and looked down condescendingly: "Send this letter to the person in Qing'anfang."
"Very important."
"If you screw it up for us, we'll take your head."
The young eunuch trembled unconsciously, but still vowed:
"Don't worry, godfather."
"My child must send this letter to that person."
In fact, he was not nervous because his godfather said he wanted his head, but because every time he went to Mr. Fangshi's place, he always felt very uncomfortable.
