Chapter 627 The Frozen Eyes

The eunuch Wang Gou'er's face was very haggard. He stood still with his iron chain and hunched over, but he didn't answer Zhu Gaoxu's words for a long time.He raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window to the west.

The sun has already set, but the last afterglow remains in the west.Wang Gou'er looked at the orange-yellow on the edge of the black cloud, and his eyes gradually became vivid.

I don’t know if he hasn’t seen the sky for too long or is still nostalgic for the scenery in the world, Wang Gouer was very immersed in seeing it.

Zhu Gaoxu observed the expression on his dirt-filled face, and did not care about Wang Gou'er's rudeness in not answering the emperor's words.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu also turned his head curiously and admired the broken clouds in the direction Wang Gou'er was looking at.

It was originally a matter of judging sins, but somehow Zhu Gaoxu clearly felt a little sad.

If people in the world were not afraid of death, the world would definitely be unable to be governed.He said casually.

Wang Gou'er turned around and finally spoke in a hoarse voice: I tell the Lord the truth, can the Lord make me feel better?

Zhu Gaoxu nodded slowly solemnly and said casually: I have always been very trustworthy.

Wang Gou'er bent her waist down: The sage is kind and kind.

His voice was not loud, and he felt weak. After saying those four words, he was silent for a long time...

A dark sky gradually appeared in front of Wang Gou'er's eyes.

The light on the earth and in the sky can no longer tell whether it is the embers of fire or the sunset.

He seemed to hear the slight crackling sound of wood burning.

That was many years ago. Wang Gou'er was only a few years old at that time; he only remembered that there was a sea of ​​fire on all sides and tragic calls from time to time around, and he was not very clear about what happened.

Later he learned about the matter from the insiders in the court.But there is no official document record in that matter at all, and it has been deliberately erased.

The general thing is that because the government troops in the Weizhou Guard area continued to fight northern expeditions and exploited military and civilians, there were civil unrest and mutiny in the local area. The rioters rushed into the acropolis and killed military generals and officials.

As soon as King Yàn Zhu Di returned with the army in the north, he immediately led his army south to fight against the rebellion!

Moreover, the Ming army had just returned from a hard battle outside the border and was very resentful. King Yàn ordered the troops to kill and plunder!

Wang Gou'er's family was just a commoner in the village, but they were also implicated, and the entire village was burned.

Wang Gou'er is the whole story of hearing others say, and she doesn't feel it deeply.

What he still remembers are some scenes he saw with his own eyes.

He was hidden under the bed by his mother and told not to speak out, and then he saw Arsenal in the room and inserted a knife into his parents' bodies!

He saw his parents staring at him in a pool of blood with their eyes wide open!

Wang Gou'er survived by chance.

But then he was found by the officials of the government and was castrated, and then sent to the capital with other children to the palace. Part of Wang Gou'er's body was forced to leave him at that time.

...Many eunuchs in the Hongwu period came from little boys caught in the war; they were castrated from childhood and trained to become slave eunuchs.Wang Gou'er is one of them.

However, when the officials were making the book, they seemed to have made mistakes and reversed the origins of Wang Gou'er and another young eunuch.

Therefore, Wang Gouer's file records state that he is from Yunnan and presented by Mu Ying.

So soon after, Wang Gou'er was sent to the Yàn Prince's Mansion, and everything was caused by the error in the file; otherwise, the eunuchs who chose the Yàn Prince's Mansion in the palace would not choose people of Wang Gou'er's origin.

At first, Wang Gou'er was in the Yàn Palace and was not very old. He was ordered and busy with work every day. He could only care whether he could have a taste of food in front of him.

Until many years later, Yun Wen's father-in-law Ma Quan quietly appeared in Peiping.Ma Quan said that he knew that Wang Gouer was ill-intentioned!Because King Yàn is Wang Gouer's great enemy and all his relatives who killed Wang Gouer.

Then Ma Quan told the negligence of the old file file because they found another eunuch who made the mistake of Wang Gou'er's list.Ma Quan asked Wang Gou'er to surrender to Yun Wen and would provide help.

Wang Gou'er was young when he entered the palace, but he already remembered where he came from and understood that what Ma Quan said was true.

Wang Gou'er could only agree to Ma Quan first. He was not only resentful, but also threatened by Ma Quan... If Ma Quan told Zhu Di about Wang Gou'er's true origin, Wang Gou'er felt that his fate would be very miserable.

The scene when he was young was not forgotten by Wang Gou'er, but became clearer.The most common ones in Wang Gou'er's mind were those two pairs of eyes that were gradually losing their mind!

His eyes were filled with resentment and fear, as if he wanted to tell Wang Gou'er something. Two pairs of eyes kept wandering in Wang Gou'er's heart, as if they had frozen somewhere forever.

That look was about to remind Wang Gou'er: Do he want him to avenge his parents?

In countless days that followed, he kept thinking about the scenes that day and night. Even though many years have passed, the clear picture seemed to be engraved in his mind!

The seeds of hatred seem to be alive and can slowly take root and sprout when the environment is appropriate.

Wang Gou'er kept revealing news to Yun Wen's people and doing various things.

After a few years, he had clearly determined his identity: he was a spy from the Yunwen Party who was hidden by his enemies with a deep blood hatred.

...Wang Gouer was trusted by Zhu Di because she had been in the Yàn Palace for a long time and made contributions in the Jingnan Battle.

However, whether it is Ma Quan or Wang Gou'er, what they do seems to be unable to change the general trend at all.

In the end, Zhu Di won and ascended the throne and became emperor.

At this time, Ma Gong had already changed.Later, Ma Gong asked Wang Gou'er to conspire with him to assassinate Zhu Di and revenge for the loyalty of the monarch and ministers of Jianwen!

Although Wang Gou'er had hatred, he would undoubtedly have no chance of death if he wanted him to sacrifice himself to do that thing. He suddenly felt scared.He couldn't lie to himself, and after all, he was still a little afraid of death.

Ma Gong seemed to see Wang Gou'er's thoughts, and re-planned it, leaving some way out for Wang Gou'er.

Wang Gou'er also saw the preparations for shading the Eastern Palace and believed that it worked.

(This is true. After doing that, no one could confirm Wang Gou'er's crime; because Concubine Guo was too suspicious. However, the person Ma Gong promised to save Wang Gou'er in the chaos had never appeared. Later, Wang Gou'er was sure that that person only existed in lies and did not exist at all! But at that time, Wang Gou'er could not escape, nor could he confess; otherwise, the crime of regicide fell on his head, and he was afraid that he would not be so light.)

The plan was to take action in the Eastern Palace, causing Zhu Di to be stabbed by a poisonous needle!

Wang Gou'er hid a small vial of poison needle on his body for the first time and followed Zhu Di's East Palace. Because he felt that the timing was not good, he hesitated. He missed that opportunity and did nothing.

So he had to wait for the next chance.

Whenever he felt that Zhu Di might go to the Eastern Palace, he would quietly hide the vial of poison needle on his body.

One day I met Zhu Di again the opportunity to go to the East Palace!

It just so happened that Wang Gou'er had estimated in advance that around You hour, and that was the time when Zhu Di might go to the East Palace, and Wang Gou'er also had a small bottle on her body!

In advance, Wang Gouer thought of various ways to release poison needles in his mind, such as on a chair or in a threshold; and repeatedly thought about what time is right, what should he do, and even the details of the action have emerged countless times in his mind.

However, things often happen!

All the methods prepared earlier were useless.Zhu Di came to the edge of the Liuchi and watched his grandson pinch the mud toy with interest. At that time, Wang Gou'er suddenly felt the opportunity.

Sure enough, Zhu Di was intrigued for a moment and asked Wang Gou'er to dig the dredge to make the clay man.Wang Gou'er saw the opportunity in an instant!

...At that time, the pool was covered with the shimmering sunset, and Wang Gou'er was shaken by his eyes. The real and subtle details are still clearly remembered today, as if they had happened just now.

The light reminded Wang Gouer of the two pairs of eyes in his memory. He decided without reason at that time: this matter must be done!

The whole process was very simple. Wang Gouer squatted on a stone with his back to the pool bank; then while digging dredge, he took out the prepared porcelain bottle from his sleeve; pinched a groove on the mud, pulled out the cork of the bottle, poured the iron needle in the cork and the venom in the bottle into the groove, and finally pinched the mud.

Just a few simple actions.

When Wang Gouer walked down carefully and came to the water, she had already thought about several movements twice.

He even reminded himself not to dig too wet mud to avoid the venom of snake venom being diluted by mud and water.

But such a simple thing, because the risks and the consequences are too great, Wang Gou'er remembers that her hands were shaking at that time, and she almost didn't do a simple thing well!

His mind was blank. He didn't feel scared or worried too much, only inexplicable tension and confusion.

After Wang Gou'er handed the mud to Zhu Di, his panic, fear and worry gradually came to his heart.

……

After Wang Gou'er confessed, her voice became hoarse and she closed her mouth.The night has completely opened, and the night outside the light is dark.Zhu Gaoxu may not have said anything for a long time, and the room in the government office was terrible.

In fact, the whole plan of this matter seems to be like that at first glance, but if you carefully consider the details of the plan, there is a certain possibility of failure.

When Wang Gouer really takes action, with Wang Gouer's condition at that time and the temporary opportunity, considering some accidents, Wang Gouer's success in seeking assassination is not inevitable!

In the past, Zhu Gaoxu believed that the battle formation was changing rapidly and many factors were difficult to control; now he suddenly felt that the same was true in the world, but it was just a matter of probability.How can a person do everything?

Perhaps because Zhu Gaoxu did not have deep affection for his father, he did not have much anger or hatred at this time, but only had an indescribable feeling.
