Text Chapter 3 As a Hostage

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

.    Along the way, I thought for a moment why the eunuch manager wanted me to go there as a child.  It would be easier to explain after inviting father. After all, for a big boss like them, if you want to talk about something, you can talk about it for days and nights.  Just call me

    "It's impossible for this damn eunuch to have a daughter of marriageable age, right?"

    I shook my head vigorously to drive this ridiculous thought out of my mind.

    Forget it, seeing that the "High Mansion", which covers an area no less than that of an ordinary prince's palace, has arrived.  If you have anything, just ask me.

    The car stopped at the gate of Gao Mansion.  Although the family of such a big boss can definitely drive a car.  But in order to show respect for him, the car he drove over would not be driven in.  Of course, the host cannot let the guest walk on two legs.  Vehicles have already been prepared inside the door to pick up guests.

    It¡¯s really troublesome to say.  It feels even more unnecessary.  A few days ago, when I followed my father on a door-to-door blind date, I really couldn't help but want to ask the driver to rush in directly.  According to his status as a father, this approach would at most make people say "domineering" behind his back. On the surface, he had to laugh when he deserved it.

    "It's just that my father is always careful in everything he does, and he would never let anyone talk like this.  So I usually just get out of the car and roll my eyes.  Just this matter today

    "Gong Gao has given instructions that Mr. Cao's car can drive all the way to the inner house without any trouble." said the servant who opened the car door for his father.

    "How is that possible? How can this be so embarrassing?" My father had already stretched out one foot, and when he heard the words, he took it back again, but he looked a little confused, but he didn't speak slowly.

    "No, no, no, this is Mr. Gao's good intention. Please don't be polite, Master Cao." The servant seemed to be of a high rank, and his tone was respectful but not flattering when talking to his father.  It's considered a good training.

    "Is that so? Then it would be disrespectful for Cao to refuse." His father chuckled, then withdrew his body and sat firmly.  The servant also nodded and closed the car door for his father.

    After the car drove into Gaofu, it followed the guiding car in front and moved forward slowly and unhurriedly.  The smile on my father's face remained unchanged, but his eyes looked slightly sad.  It seems that what the eunuch wants this time will not be so simple.

    "I hope it's not an excessive request. After all, they are important allies. If there is a stalemate, it will not be good for anyone." My father thought this way, and his face became more solemn.

    I also know that people must ask for something when they are polite, and I know that it is impossible for a dead eunuch to give his father such treatment in vain.  There must be something useful for my father.  Then I thought about this damn eunuch calling me.  Maybe his family also has a daughter of marriageable age

    Ha ha ha ha ha.

    Damn it, that can¡¯t really be the case, right?  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shed a drop of cold sweat.

    Gaofu covers a large area. The car drove for more than half an hour before we arrived at the place.  Seeing that the dead eunuch went out to greet him in person.  My father also laughed and got out of the car, and the two of them were polite for a while.  It's like an old friend I haven't seen for many years.

    The dead eunuch was very enthusiastic and welcomed my father and son into the study.  Seeing that there was no servant in the study, I confirmed again that the dead eunuch had something to discuss with my father.  And this matter definitely has something to do with me.  Otherwise, why would Mao still want me to stay here?

    There was not a single servant in the study, but the dead eunuch was very enthusiastic and served tea to his father himself.  My father kept yelling and refused to take it.  The confusion in his eyes became even more intense.

    ????????????????????????? After the dead eunuch poured the tea, he started chatting with his father again and again, and the two of them laughed heartily every time they talked about it.  I couldn't help but admire him when he heard this. This damn eunuch actually had some information in his belly, not just in the water.

    "The dead eunuch's words were funny, but he didn't say anything serious. At first, my father could bear it, but after a while, he became a little impatient.  Seeing the dead eunuch is not over yet.  At the right time, my father asked, seemingly unintentionally, after the dead eunuch told another interesting story about Jiangnan's officialdom: "Brother Gao invited me and my son here. What's the matter? Please tell me clearly."

    When the damn eunuch heard what his father said, he smiled bitterly and said nothing.  When his father asked again and again, he just sighed.  There were tears flashing in the corners of my eyes, and I almost couldn't help but want to praise him.  What a good actor.

    My father is not weak either. After decades of hard work in officialdom, everything he says is bullshit.  That sword in the mountains and the sea of ??fire, with knives on both sides, sounds like a brother who wants to worship the boss.  The dead eunuch was so amused that he almost cried, but the topic changed again and he added that as long as it was within his ability.  The eunuch almost choked to death.

    It¡¯s just that this dead eunuch is not a veteran in officialdom, not to mention a eunuch.??.  It's so shameless that my father can't compare.  The next moment, he ignored his father's last words.  I just remember those bullshit words about being stabbed in both sides of the mountain and in the sea of ??fire. I grabbed my father¡¯s hands and held them tightly, which made me feel sick.

    Speaking of this, the dead eunuch no longer shied away and stated his purpose: "When the emperor is young, it is inevitable to be lonely when he is alone in the palace. Seeing that our family cannot bear it, we want to find some playmates for the emperor.  The eldest son of Wei Guogong is young and smart, so he is really the best candidate. Therefore, our family is bold and invites the young master to serve as an attendant to accompany the emperor."

    ?

    Nani?

    This damn eunuch, this damn eunuch wants me to stay in the capital as a hostage?

    Indeed, in the current situation, the emperor is young and his imperial power is declining.  On the other hand, the princes from all over the country, like my father, held heavy armies and were powerful.  The dead eunuch thought that it might be a good idea to take advantage of this period to ask high-ranking officials from various places who came to Beijing to send hostages.

    But before that, there was no news at all.  The damn eunuch found our Cao family at his first stop?  We are allies, we are allies, damn eunuch!  They are allies with equal status!  Not your vassal!  Even if they are asking for hostages, the special code is to ask for members of a branch of the clan, but they are asking directly on the head of this young master.

    Who in the entire Northeast doesn¡¯t know that my father cares most about me, and he wants the moon but not the stars.  Pampered to no end.  Anyone who dares to touch a cold hair must be prepared to kill his whole family.  I am my father's only son!  The incense has been passed down by the Cao family for hundreds of generations!  Ni Ma actually wants me to be a hostage?  !

    Just as I imagined, after hearing this dead eunuch¡¯s request, my father¡¯s face immediately turned as pale as ice, if it weren¡¯t for the last trace of self-restraint as a politician restraining him.  The fist had already hit the dead eunuch's face.  Even so, he didn't want to talk nonsense with this damn eunuch anymore, so he took my hand and walked out without even saying hello.

    "Brother Cao, calm down, Brother Cao, calm down!" The dead eunuch turned green when he saw his father doing this.  He grabbed his father's sleeve and apologized profusely.  A lot of good things to say.  I almost had to kneel down.

    After all, what if you really made your father anxious?  Break an alliance with their eunuch group.  At most, the father has lost the right to speak in the center.  Even if you hide in the Northeast, you can still be a local emperor with your head down.  But the great eunuchs lost their biggest external aid.  Not to mention anything else, but the huge gift money given by Northeastern every year is gone.  The eunuch group can tear this dead eunuch to pieces.

    The dead eunuch finally persuaded his father to come back. His face softened a little, but he did not relent at all. His tone was also very cold: "Although Quanzi is not talented, he is Cao's only son. The Cao family's incense has been passed down to him for generations.  On the body. If something goes wrong, Cao will not be able to explain it to his ancestors even if he dies a hundred times. Accompanying the emperor is certainly distinguished. But the dog will not be able to enjoy it. "

    Hearing what his father said, the dead eunuch smiled bitterly.  He also knew that this matter was really difficult to handle.  However, it won¡¯t work if you don¡¯t do it.  Then I thought about how to speak and persuade my father.

    And in this moment, I also figured things out.

    The eunuch group does need to accept hostages from ministers from all over the country.  It's just that the officials in various places are not easy to mess with.  Where can I easily hand over hostages to them?  They just want to rely on their home field advantage to brave the disapproval of the world and use the strong one.  But it's also very dangerous.  There is no need for more, as long as one or two people with the same status as my father run away, clarify the matter and then lead the troops into Beijing under the banner of "Qingjun's Side".  None of these dead eunuchs can escape.

    Therefore, the dead eunuchs must also have the status of righteousness.  The eunuch leader named Gao thought of his father.  I want to ask my father for support and set an example as an ally.  Talk to me again.  At that time, whoever refuses to hand over the hostages will lose the reputation of righteousness.  Maybe he will be killed as a traitor and traitor.

    The dead eunuch made a good plan, but he hit a wall at the beginning with his father.

    "It's trueif the hostage plan fails, it is conceivable that the little emperor in the central government will not have any authority at all.  The local factions are very powerful, and it is unlikely that they will fall into the situation of competing for hegemony among the countries during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.  It was okay at that time, at least there were no strong enemies outside.  But now, EU, Britannia, that is not a fuel-efficient lamp.  If the Chinese Federation is really divided, then it will not be far from national subjugation.

    Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth. The Chinese Federation cannot be finished, at least it cannot be finished before I take over. I am just a hostage.  This young master took it.  I don't believe anyone would really dare to do this to me.

    Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Gao, my nephew is not talented and I would like to ask for advice. How many years does the position of serving as an attendant last?"

    "Mengde!" My father was thinking about how to completely put an end to the idea of ??killing the eunuch.  I didn't expect that I would say such a thing.  Come,Apart from being shocked, his voice was also filled with anger.

    "I don't dare to take it, my dear nephew, listen, it only takes five years." On the contrary, when this dead eunuch heard me say this, he was a little surprised at first, but then he was overjoyed.

    Five years In five years, with the hostages in hand, the princes from all over the country were forced to surrender.  Slowly establish central authority - it will certainly not be the authority of a little brat like the emperor.  Five years later, she will only be seven years old, a child with a big fart.

    So, the authority of the eunuchs

    I nodded and said pointedly: "Uncle Gao is a great talent, and my nephew admires him. It is my nephew's wish to serve the country. In this case, my uncle will have to bear more responsibility."

    "Mengde! What stupid things are you talking about?!" My father was really worried this time.  If I only had three points of anger before, now it sounds like ten points.

    I turned my head and gave my father an apologetic look.  Then he shook his head.  He turned around and wanted to say something to this dead eunuch.  This time, my father spoke first.

    ¡°You know I have an idea in my heart, and I am very determined.  My father didn't say anything anymore, he just excused himself and said: "It's getting late now. My father and son will leave first. I will naturally give you an explanation tomorrow for what Brother Gao said."

    The dead eunuch saw that I agreed.  Before I could even think about being happy, my father poured cold water on me again.  But he also knew that it was his father who had the final say in this matter.  And seeing that his father's attitude has softened a lot, this conversation was not without success.

    When he heard that his father was leaving, the dead eunuch hesitated: "Although it was getting late, the banquet happened to be held. If people knew that our family invited Brother Cao over but didn't even offer a glass of water and wine, they would definitely be laughed at, but  That¡¯s not the way to treat guests.¡±

    The father forced a smile and said: "Cao is in a state of confusion at the moment and is really not in the mood to drink. I can only accept Brother Gao's kindness."

    The dead eunuch persuaded me a few more times, but seeing that my father was resolute, he stopped mentioning it. He personally put my father and son into the car and stood there.  Somehow, what I did before resurfaced in my mind.  I just felt the cool breeze blowing down my spine.  He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
