Chapter 228 Characters
The story takes place in an overhead dynasty.
The protagonist, Yan Baiqing, was originally born in a scholarly family. His father was the censor of the dynasty.However, all the emperors in the dynasty have a problem, that is, they trust eunuchs. In the generation of Yan Baiqing's father, the eunuchs around the emperor did not get along with him. When Yan Baiqing was 15 years old, the eunuch fabricated charges and sent his father to prison, and finally tortured him. He died in prison and was charged with corruption after his death.
The poor men of the Yan family were all beheaded, the women were slaves, and those who were used as official prostitutes were used as official prostitutes. In just a few days, the family was destroyed and the death was terrible.
Because the nurse replaced Yan Baiqing with her own son at a critical moment, he became the only surviving male.
Yan Baiqing has been in poor health since he was a child, but he is very smart. Although he seldom goes out, he is superior in both knowledge and insight. He was in good health and planned to start the imperial examination. Like a bolt from the blue.
He locked himself in the room without eating or drinking, looking for a way to get revenge, because the emperor had ordered his family to be exterminated, so the imperial examination was no longer feasible, and if he wanted revenge, he could only find a way to get close to the center of power. In the end, he got a fake identity, and at the expense of self-injury, entered the palace as a eunuch, changed his name to Qingbai, and by chance, learned a peerless martial arts.
Because he was clever and lovable, he was soon assigned to the side of the fourth prince. At that time, the emperor was old and had many sons. His enemy secretly supported the second prince in order to protect himself. In the end, it was the fourth prince who finally ascended the throne with the help of Yan Baiqing. .
After ascending to the throne, he was just like his father, he didn't care about political affairs on weekdays, and played around in different ways to have fun all day long, and the power was naturally in Yan Baiqing's hands.
Yan Baiqing was even more cruel than the previous eunuchs. He called the wind and rain in the court, sold his officials and nobles, which caused complaints from the courtiers, and he jointly signed letters of impeachment several times.
However, the new emperor brought the tradition of favoring eunuchs to the extreme. After being annoyed by the ministers, he actually gave Yan Baiqing the gold medal monk Fang Baojian, and even set up a special for him under the dragon chair. Seat, seal him as nine thousand years old.
With the power in his hands, the courtiers dared not speak out against Yan Baiqing, but the royal censor Fang refused to give up, and secretly gathered a group of Qingliu to fight him to the end.
Not long after Yan Baiqing was granted the title of nine thousand years old, the new emperor got married. His favorite concubine Ning was Yan Baiqing's childhood sweetheart. The two families even had a marriage contract, but the tragedy of Yan's family severed this fate.
Seeing her former lover again, she was married as a woman, which made Concubine Ning very sad, but what made her even more unacceptable was that her childhood sweetheart had turned into a heavily made-up, moody, ruthless, murderous eunuch.
She tried to persuade Yan Baiqing to turn back several times, but she was always rejected, and in the end she was even choked and warned not to talk too much about her.
After Yan Baiqing dismissed a well-known official again, Concubine Ning finally gave up on him. She secretly sent a message to her father in court to help deal with her former lover.At the same time, with the help of the hero He Tianxiang, Fang Yushi finally caught Yan Baiqing's private possession of the dragon robe, concealed weapons, and the evidence of his intention to rebel. Afterwards, Nine Thousand Years was finally taken down, and the emperor who obeyed his words suddenly came to his senses after being shocked, decided to concentrate on state affairs, and beheaded Yan Baiqing at the Meridian Gate.
On the eve of the execution, Concubine Ning went to see Yan Baiqing alone with food and wine, and asked him why he did these unbelievable things since he suffered from the eunuch's misfortune!
Looking at his childhood sweetheart, Yan Baiqing smiled. After laughing, he revealed his secret: Originally, he wanted to find a chance to leave after taking revenge for his family at the hands of the new emperor, but he found that the new emperor was just like the old emperor. He listened and believed, which made him know that it is useless to kill a big eunuch, and the emperor must realize how much disaster his favor on eunuchs has brought to the country.
These years, he did whatever he wanted in the court. He imprisoned the courtier Qingliu who opposed him, but he only imprisoned them and did not kill them. The reason why he conspired against him was to wake up the emperor with the bloody reality, and the one who helped Fang Yushi to find evidence And even if the hero He Tianxiang who rushed to stop the coup d'etat was also a knight he had saved, the reason why Mr. Fang got so much evidence was that he specially passed it on through He Tianxiang's hand.
Concubine Ning was stunned after hearing the explanation. Looking at Yan Baiqing with a calm face, she was heartbroken. Impulsively, she wanted to tell the truth to the emperor, but was stopped by Yan Baiqing. For Yan Baiqing, all the family members had died. If he died, he would become a eunuch himself, and his life would have long been worthless. If he didn't tell the truth, at least his death could prevent the same tragedy from happening again.
The next day, Yan Baiqing went to the execution ground in white clothes with a clean face. When he was nine thousand years old, he was speechless in the face of what he had done. At this time, he had the face to meet the underground Yan The ancestors of the family.
On this day, the emperor ordered all the eunuchs not to intervene in politics in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. This dynasty also ushered in a clear spring. Concubine Ning in the harem looked at an old hairpin and shed tears silently ...
After reading the script, Mu Qing was silent. As Li Yun said, the role of Yan Baiqing is really complicated. He was learned and talented when he was young, he was sad and rejected when his family changed, he was humiliated and painful when he entered the palace, and he was evil when he reached the top. , the bewildering and evil spirits when facing the emperor, the calm return to nature when dying... All of these have to be presented on one person, which is really challenging.
And the task itself was very controversial, because his life was an utter tragedy—
His own family was ruined by eunuchs, but he had no choice but to become an eunuch. In order to make the emperor sober, he did not hesitate to become the most hated courtier!
Maybe he hates himself, otherwise he wouldn't cover up his true face with heavy makeup every day after becoming nine thousand years old.
He could heal a wounded rabbit with a soft heart, but he killed a river of blood at every turn in the court!
He imprisoned the upright officials, but didn't want their lives. In order to deal a heavy blow to the emperor, he launched a coup. Blood flowed in the Forbidden Palace that night, but before that, he himself put the handle into the hands of the enemy...
In his whole life, he couldn't judge whether it was right or wrong. He just did what he wanted to do and everything he could do under that special environment!
He used his own blood to awaken the sense of responsibility of the people on the throne, but he was firmly nailed to the pillar of shame of the courtiers!
In the end, even when he died, he couldn't tell his original name, and all the truth will be hidden forever along with the deaths of He Tianxiang and Concubine Ning, disappearing into the long river of history...
After all, the character of Yan Baiqing is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals!But it was this kind of person who really touched Mu Qing's heart!
