Chapter 442
Yang Keyi is the son of a minor official. He is sixteen years old. He was called into the "Children's Army". The whole family was very happy about it.
Although the Yang family is not rich or noble, Yang Keyi is the only son in the family, and he has been loved since childhood.
Yang Keyi is not discouraged. His and his family's goal was not to make a name for themselves in the arts of literature and martial arts, but to take the opportunity to make friends with the sons of powerful families and pave the way for the future.
In the eyes of the Yang family, their children are so cute and smart, making friends should be very simple. Of course, they are not too stupid. Father Yang bought a full set of armor for his son, and prepared five hundred taels of silver. Splurge, "You can't be stingy when making friends, especially when you make friends with powerful sons. You must not appear stingy at the beginning and make people look down on it."
Spending money is Yang Keyi's favorite thing. Before entering the military camp, he has already spent half of the five hundred taels of silver, buying all the playthings that teenagers like. As soon as his parents frowned, he said: "The powerful son has this, just I don't, how can I communicate with others?"
When he actually entered the barracks, Yang Keyi discovered a serious problem: there were too many people who had the same idea as him, but there were only a very small number of powerful and noble sons who were really worth making friends with.
The powerful sons have their own circles, and occasionally accept newcomers. They also choose those young people who are outstanding in the civil and military elections. They value their future status. Otherwise, they choose a few helpers who can play, laugh, and tout to help you enjoy.
There are a lot of people like Yang Keyi, who come from a low background and have mediocre talents. They are spoiled and spoiled, and they will not please others. They have no chance to climb up. Life was very hard, and after more than half a month, there was a lot of mourning.
If they didn't want to see the emperor, they would have thrown their hands and ran away, waiting for their parents to come forward to solve the problem.
When the emperor finally arrived, everyone wanted to take a step forward. The officers naturally wanted to maintain order, and the soldiers were very dissatisfied, because most of these officers were children of ordinary people, some of them even the sons of civilians. The ordinary armor, just because of the strength, got the third class in the martial arts election, and sat on their heads to show their prestige.
Yang Keyi muttered, "A filthy guy who can't even wash his face is embarrassed to meet him?"
The captain of his team heard the complaint, raised his whip and ordered to shut up.
For such a little thing, the two almost got into a fight in the team, and the other soldiers immediately pulled away, preventing a fight.
Han Ruzi saw several fights from a distance in the military camp that day. This was one of them, and it was by no means the most serious incident.
Afterwards, Yang Keyi became angrier the more he thought about it. He was not angry, but the soldiers on the same team who were fighting, feeling that they were taking the opportunity to humiliate him.
The anger caused by the hard training of the past few days and the frequent neglect of the powerful sons broke out at this moment. Yang Keyi did not dare to take revenge on the powerful, nor did he have the opportunity to walk in front of others. Angered, he returned to the tent and yelled, kicking over some people's luggage.
This was the time when the emperor was entertaining the warriors, and it was not a big deal, so he did not disturb him.
After the emperor left, that night, Yang Keyi, who was sleeping, was beaten up in his sleep. With his fists and feet together, he was obviously not alone. He was trapped in the quilt and had no power to resist, and he could not see who was beating him. .
When the beating was over, Yang Keyi was so frightened that he hid in the bed and didn't dare to move. He didn't get up until the next morning, when he saw that the soldiers in the same tent were sleeping soundly.
Yang Keyi couldn't stand this bad anger, so he took out the remaining 200 taels of silver and bribed a familiar general who was greedy for money.
Naturally, the soldiers in the same team would not sit still and seek help from acquaintances. The situation became more and more troublesome. In the end, even a few powerful young masters were also involved. They did not know who Yang Keyi was at all. .
After two days of trouble, there were only a few bad words, and there were no more fights. The emperor was in the nearby military camp and could come over to check at any time. Anyone take personal revenge.
Yang Keyi didn't even get to apologize, but the money was gone. The ginseng who took his money patted him on the shoulder and said indifferently, "Be patient, and I'll vent my anger for you after returning to the city."
Yang Keyi couldn't bear it anymore. After returning to the city, everyone went back to their respective houses. Even if they found someone to beat the soldiers of the same team, they would not be able to get back their face, and there was no way to vent the evil in their hearts.
After thinking about it, Yang Keyi decided to go all out and reveal a big secret to the emperor.
But he couldn't see the emperor, and he didn't even have the right to see the people around the emperor, and he ran out of money. He was cruel, and he resold the gold-encrusted armor he bought with a lot of money at a low price, and exchanged it for a set of ordinary armor and one hundred taels of silver. For personal use, the silver was given to a child of the Cui family, only to ask him to give Cui Teng a sentence: "Do you want to make a great contribution?"
Cui Teng wanted to make a contribution, so he said to the cousin who was talking, "How old is it?"
Cousin Cui Fu was also stunned. He opened his arms and wanted to make a gesture, but quickly put it down again, "It should be very big, otherwise this kid won't ask the second brother to come here."
Yang Keyi waited for more than a long time before he had the opportunity to see Cui Teng. He wanted something, and he knew many rules without a teacher. He immediately knelt down, and no longer showed his arrogant side, "I want to expose that someone in the disciple army is impersonating."
Cui Fu was startled. He knew that Yang Keyi was going to talk about this. No matter how much money he was given, he would not agree to speak up. He stepped forward and kicked, and scolded: "What nonsense, do you want to die?"
Yang Keyi was full of revenge, so he ignored caution and said loudly: "This is a fact, there are still many impostors. I heard that the second son of Cui is the most trusted person around the emperor, so he came to expose it. If you want to calm down, when I don't come, it's all my fault, I really think Second Young Master Cui thinks of His Majesty in everything."
Cui Fu was about to lift his foot again, but Cui Teng pulled him away and said to Yang Keyi, "What did you say?"
Yang Keyi was frightened. It was rumored that the second son of the Cui family would kill when he was angry. Even the emperor gave him three points, not to mention himself? "I'm sorry, I-I'm talking nonsense, the second son can do whatever he wants..."
"No no, you just said that I am the closest person to the emperor?"
"The most...trusted person." Yang Keyi suddenly realized that he had scratched Cui Teng's itch, and hurriedly added: "This is not what I said, everyone knows, otherwise I will not come to see Second Young Master. Your Majesty I have a lot of cronies around me, and I don’t even think about others.”
"You haven't thought about the King of the East Sea?"
Yang Keyi actually thought about it, and the King of the East Sea was his first choice, but there was no way to see him, and he happened to know Cui Fu, so he started from Cui Teng, but then shook his head firmly, "What is the King of the East Sea? Although he is His Majesty's younger brother, he has once betrayed His Majesty, and His Majesty kept him by his side just to facilitate surveillance."
When Cui Teng heard this, he turned his head and said to Cui Fu, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"
Cui Fu whispered: "This matter involves some clan children, it's better that we don't participate."
Cui Teng frowned, "Who said about the impostor? Everyone says that I am the most trusted person around His Majesty, why didn't you tell me?"
Cui Fu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a flattering smile: "I thought the second brother knew...everyone said it, I'm used to listening to it, it really didn't make it a big deal, so I didn't say it."
Cui Teng was in a better mood, and said to Yang Keyi: "You are right to come to me. Others dare not take care of this matter, so I dare to open it up. Your Majesty hates the noble children who do not seek to make progress - since you enjoy the imperial court The benefits given, you have to serve the court when necessary, right? Like me, I have been going through the wind and rain, defending your Majesty’s arrows on the battlefield, when did you say nothing?”
Yang Keyi nodded desperately, "That's right, that's the truth. They hired people to serve as soldiers, and they were clearly deceiving the emperor."
"Okay, you give me a list, and I'll find an opportunity to give it to Your Majesty."
Yang Keyi had already prepared, "It's not easy to write in the military camp, but I wrote down a lot. I can say it now, or write it on the spot."
Cui Teng chose to write on the spot.
Yang Keyi's fellow soldiers had no powerful children, and naturally there were no impostors, but his hatred had already spread to the entire army of children. He thought that officials were defending each other, so he bullied himself alone, so he wrote down the impostors he knew one by one. Those who are not so sure will draw a triangle in the back.
Cui Fu came over to take a look and was shocked. There were more than 30 names on it, and half of them were surnamed Han.
But Cui Teng didn't care, he picked up the list and read it over, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, none of our Cui family is on it."
Cui Fu coughed.
Cui Teng's face changed color, "What's the matter, our family has it too?"
Cui Fu nodded reluctantly.
Cui Teng suddenly laughed and cursed, "I, Cui Er, want to kill my relatives righteously this time. Your Majesty has to praise me for being selfless. Come on, Yang, and write down the names of the Cui family."
When Yang Keyi was also smart, he immediately shook his head, "I know all this, and I wrote it down."
Cui Teng handed the list to his cousin Cui Fu, "You write it."
Cui Fu had no choice but to add a name at the end of the list, deliberately writing it crookedly so that people would not recognize the handwriting.
Yang Keyi left with satisfaction, waiting for a storm to descend in the disciples' army to wipe out all the people he hated.
Cui Fu regretted it, watching Yang Keyi leave, and immediately said to his cousin: "This list must not be handed over to Your Majesty."
"Why? Our family is alone on it. It's not too embarrassing. Look at these Han people, haha, it's interesting."
Cui Fu was stunned. In his opinion, this was not interesting at all. After thinking about it, he said, "This is something that offends people. Why don't the second brother discuss it with the general first."
Cui Fu said something wrong, and Cui Teng's face froze, "I can't call the shots on such a thing? My father's injury is not healed, why bother him? Go, I have to let His Majesty know about this, and then we will fight together. An impostor. Since the Assassin came out, the Cui family has not raised their eyebrows for a long time, and this time they have to make up for it."
Cui Teng waited all night before going to see the emperor. Han Ruzi was really furious, and an investigation was launched immediately.
But it was too late.
