Zhang Xiaowu really wanted to do something for Laixi, but Laixi was already a little eunuch in the palace, and the eunuch and the minister could not have any connection, and his crime was comparable to the fornication between the palace maid and the guard, so Zhang Xiaowu just nodded and smiled. Laixi also realized that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly bowed his head and knelt aside to apologize to Emperor Dade.

The kneeling of eunuchs is different from the kneeling of courtiers, and eunuchs must kneel on both knees and be attached to the ground to show that they are the emperor's domestic slaves.

When Emperor Dade saw this pair of comrades-in-arms in robe, he was deeply moved by the feelings of robe, so he said: "Come to Xi, get up, you will come to me in the future and be a companion as a eunuch." ”

Lai Xi said with great joy: "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Let's go down and prepare."

"Yes."

The emperor's words moved Laixi, but Laixi didn't understand why the emperor wanted to let himself be his companion as a eunuch, the so-called companion was the little eunuch who accompanied the emperor and served the emperor. The emperor's companions are naturally the most, there are more than 100 people, but the quota of more than 100 people is the most difficult to fight for in the world. The eunuchs are all eunuchs, and their physical incompleteness leads to their psychological distortion, and their jealousy and vindictiveness are far beyond normal people.

Zhang Xiaowu naturally didn't know these twists and turns, he didn't live in the palace, let alone have the experience of being a eunuch, he just felt that Laixi was promoted by the emperor, and he was happy for him in his heart.

Emperor Dade smiled: "He said that your master's name is Xiaoyaozi, and he must be a master of the world." Although you said that you only learned his ability to make wine, I see that you are both civil and military, and you also made a song "Will Return", which is really an apprentice of a master in the world. It's just a pity that I can't see this person, regret, regret. ”

Zhang Xiaowu broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart that this emperor wanted to find out a person's information, and he could really turn out the eight generations of people's ancestors. In this era, it is really not easy to be so well-informed, he admits that he underestimated Jin Yiwei before, and it seems that Jin Yiwei does have a set.

Seeing that the emperor talked about his "master", Zhang Xiaowu could only bite the bullet and say: "The family teacher is just a scattered person, and after teaching me, he disappeared, and the minister searched for several years but could not." The minister thought that he should not be disturbed by the world, and liked to live an idle and leisurely life, so the family teacher called himself Xiaoyaozi. ”

Emperor Dade yearned for it leisurely, and said: "In this way, you have been in the capital for a few days, and you have accompanied me to practice the "Yijin Sutra" every day until you have completely taught me - since you want to teach me all the time, I will make you an imperial official, and the guards with knives in front of the emperor will accompany me." ”

The eunuchs and palace ladies around were all stunned, what an important official the emperor is, the imperial guard with a knife, there was only one imperial guard with a knife before, that is Li Canglan, the lieutenant general of the Imperial Forest Army, and the second imperial guard with a knife turned out to be the ghost general Zhang Xiaowu - the emperor trusts him too much, and this son will definitely become an important minister of the court in the future.

Zhang Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, and then saluted on one knee and said: "Thank Your Majesty for your trust, and the minister will not hesitate to go to the soup." ”

Emperor Dade was very happy, but perhaps too happy, and suddenly coughed, and the eunuchs were busy feeding him medicine. After Emperor Dade took the medicine, his body gradually returned to normal, and he laughed at himself: "I, the emperor, am so weak that my courtiers laugh at me." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Your Majesty worked hard for the country day and night, so much so that he injured his body. Have you ever heard of a saying that your body is the capital of your future, and if your body is not good, you can't talk about your future. Therefore, Your Majesty still has to rest and exercise more, and only when he recovers his body can he govern the country. ”

Emperor Dade smiled: "Yes, yes, yes." He was indeed a little tired, so he said: "Ghost general, follow me to the dormitory, you stay outside, I want to sleep well." ”

"Whoa."

The eunuchs and palace maids were once again shocked by this sentence, the emperor's bedroom is not a place that ordinary people can approach, even Li Canglan has never been to the emperor's bedroom. The emperor pampered his concubines in the palace, so it was an extremely quiet and private place, and no man could set foot in the palace except the emperor, even the Imperial Guards had to stand outside the palace.

The emperor asked Zhang Xiaowu to guard the palace, which was obviously the holy family Longen, and also announced to everyone in disguise that Zhang Xiaowu was his confidant. Zhang Xiaowu didn't think of these things for the time being, so he followed the female eunuchs of the palace to the emperor's dormitory and consciously guarded the door.

Maybe he was too tired, Emperor Dade fell asleep while lying on the bed, as if he had never slept so sweetly and so reassuringly in so many days.

Zhang Xiaowu stood outside the door of the dormitory, thinking a lot in his heart, he guessed that the emperor was so long with himself because Li Canglan found him yesterday, and Li Canglan represented Dushanbo, so that Emperor Dade thought that Dushanbo wanted to pull himself into his party. Emperor Dade Longen Zhang Xiaowu forced Zhang Xiaowu to take refuge in the emperor, and Emperor Dade also took the opportunity to announce to everyone that the ghost general Zhang Xiaowu is my minister.

Zhang Xiaowu then thought of the power parties of the imperial court, Du Shanbo is naturally the largest, but the left minister Zhang Kuan should not be underestimated, especially the ability to influence the new emperor, the right minister Wang Cheng seems to be an idle person is also a ghost, there is a group of people to listen to him, in comparison, the emperor is a little weak.

Despite his huge power and dominating almost the entire empire, he was loyal and good for generations, and he certainly could not do anything unfavorable to the royal family. Moreover, Dushanbo is now old, and the emperor is not yet thirty years old, so the courtiers don't need to think about it at all. It's just that some time ago, the emperor fell into the water, so that some courtiers were in turmoil in their hearts, and some courtiers asked the emperor to make King Jin as a royal official.

After all, Emperor Dade has a biological son Xuanyuan Chenghua, although he has not yet been canonized as the crown prince, but since the emperor has a son, the king of Jin has no possibility of competing for the throne.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaowu felt a little sore in his brain, not because he drank too much last night, but because of the complicated situation in the imperial court and the partisan rivalry, which made him very disgusted in his heart. However, partisan struggle is the eternal theme of the imperial court, as long as there are hundreds of officials, there will be hundreds of thoughts and interests, for the sake of interests, people will inevitably unite and fight with others. From ancient times to the present, there is no dynasty where there is no partisan contention in the court, after all, the court is also composed of people.

"Alas......"

He looked up and looked left and right, and the Guards were standing in a row, and unlike him, the Guards were all wearing black scarves. Zhang Xiaowu nodded unconsciously, and praised the Imperial Forest Army for epidemic prevention in place, and they all wore black face towels, which was far more important than the people outside.

"Boom—"
