Grandpa Tai walked a few times in the Funing Palace, but still didn't see the arrival of the King of Jin, so he muttered in his heart: I asked Wang Jien to go to the Jin Palace, did something happen after not seeing him for a long time!

Thinking in his heart, the great grandfather went to the window and tore open the curtain that covered it; Only to find that the heavy snow was still falling, and there were eunuchs and guards in the courtyard clearing the snow.

Grandpa Tai pulled the curtain back up, returned to the dining table, sat on the chair with a carved dragon and phoenix, closed his eyes slightly, and thought: Ah Ji went to the Jin Palace's palace to pass the decree and did not return for a long time, it must be that it is not easy to walk on the road in heavy snow!

As soon as Grandpa Tai thought of Wang Jien, he picked up the jade pillar axe leaning on the pillar of Huabiao and held it in his hand, laughed and said silently: "Ah Ji must have been scared when he saw me playing with the jade pillar axe just now!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin called Wang Jien Aji, which shows the status of this slave in the emperor's mind.

The eunuch was a poor person, but Wang Jien didn't feel pitiful; Although he couldn't marry a wife, have children, and be a slaughterer for officials, Wang Jien, who was born poor, was sold to the palace by his parents because he couldn't survive the war and disaster.

Wang Jien does not complain about his parents, it is precisely because he became a eunuch that he was able to survive; Compared to his neighbors in the abandoned wilderness, he was already much happier.

At the beginning, Wang Jien just wanted to survive in troubled times; However, the appearance of a man changed his fate completely; This person is Zhao Kuangyin.

After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he was not at ease to hand over his diet and daily life to eunuchs loyal to Hou Zhou; He let the high-grade eunuchs serve the Emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and personally selected a group of young eunuchs to serve him.

These little eunuchs have no background, they have always been trampled on, and once they are promoted, they are all grateful and willing to die for Zhao Kuangyin; Wang Jien is one of them.

Many eunuchs were poor and therefore illiterate. Wang Jien didn't read much, and he only began to study after following Zhao Kuangyin, and secretly watched the minister's recital, trying to understand some of the court situation.

Now that he has the opportunity, Wang Jien must seize it: since he is destined to be a eunuch in this life, then he must be the first eunuch in the world!

After Wang Jien saw the minister's recital, he would always put the important ones on it and let Zhao Kuangyin browse it first.

Gradually, Zhao Kuangyin noticed Wang Jien, and after a few conversations, he found that this young man had good opinions on the military and political situation.

Zhao Kuangyin is very happy, the palace is lonely, there are few people the emperor really trusts, Wang Jien can probably be regarded as one of the few people; Zhao Kuangyin began to be willing to share some thoughts with Wang Jien.

Once, Zhao Kuangyin returned from the court and sat on a chair sullenly.

Wang Jien quietly served a cup of good tea and asked softly: "What troubles do the official family (the courtiers' honorific title for the emperor) have?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin sighed and said, "People say that there are many benefits to the Son of Heaven, but is it easy for you to look at me?" I dealt with a matter in the early days, and now I think that I was wrong, so I am depressed! Wang Jien listened silently and did not answer.

Zhao Kuangyin is a relatively fair and capable virtuous gentleman, but he will occasionally be willful, but he will regret it after being willful.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was just complaining, complaining that the emperor was not good, and he didn't really want to listen to Wang Jien's opinion.

Wang Jien understands that in the face of a grumbling king, stupid people will echo and please; Therefore, it was a wise choice for him to remain silent.

Zhao Kuangyin is lamenting that the emperor is difficult to be and power is boring, but in Wang Jien's ears, the feelings may not be the same.

Wang Jien thinks that one day he will be able to hold great power, and see countless people bow their heads and lower their eyebrows in front of him, even if he has some troubles?

Unfortunately, a person without power can never understand the troubles of those who hold power.

The sensible Wang Jien gradually gained the absolute trust of Zhao Kuangyin, and in the war of the Northern Song Dynasty to pacify the Quartet, he appeared on the front line many times as a representative of Zhao Kuangyin, supervising the generals who held the male army.

However, although Zhao Kuangyin sent him to be the supervisor of the army, he only gave him the right to report in case of trouble, and did not let him directly intervene in the military.

Wang Jien himself is also very careful about proportion, and has great respect for generals such as Cao Bin and Pan Mei, and never publicly expresses his position during deliberations.

Although Wang Jien is a Qincha, these generals are very powerful, and they are either the emperor's righteous brothers or the emperor's fellow countrymen.

Cao Bin, Pan Mei and others were very satisfied with Wang Jien's low profile, and the supervision of the army did not interfere in military politics, which was the greatest contribution.

As a result, the generals reported their contributions, and Wang Jien was indispensable; Wang Jien was promoted step by step to the governor of the city and became the largest eunuch in the imperial court.

It's just that eunuchs are eunuchs after all, even if they are low-end officials with no rank, they look down on castrated people like Wang Jien; However, Wang Jien was sophisticated and tactful, and when he saw that the power of Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, was getting bigger and bigger, he attached himself to him to join the criminal group that killed Song Taizu.

Naturally, Grandpa Tai didn't know that death was getting closer and closer to him, but he just thought of the history of Wang Jien, a minion; I can't stop laughing.

Grandpa Tai took the jade pillar axe in his hand and played with it a few times and said silently: "My jade pillar axe has accompanied me for most of my life like the coiling dragon stick, which can be described as a meritorious achievement!" The coiling dragon stick accompanied me to defeat the 50 states of the Great Song Dynasty, but the jade pillar axe is a reflection of the widow's character! ”

Speaking of Zhao Kuangyin's character, it was a roar when the road was uneven, and he shot when he should shoot; A chivalrous man, magnificent, martial, righteous, diligent and thrifty.

Zhao Kuangyin has done a lot of things with the jade pillar axe in his hand, and it is ridiculous to worry about the two things; The first thing he did was that he was playing birds in the garden, and an official came over to report that he had important business, and bluntly criticized Zhao Kuangyin for playing birds and playing for not doing his job; Zhao Kuangyin actually used a jade pillar axe to kill two front teeth.

The second thing that the jade pillar axe did was to knock out other people's front teeth, but this person's name was Lei Dexiang and he was a direct minister; Without being recommended by the eunuch, he broke into the palace to see Zhao Kuangyin to expose the corruption of Prime Minister Zhao Pu, but Zhao Kuangyin knocked out two plate teeth with the jade pillar axe in his hand.

Grandpa Tai remembered Lei Dexiang's straight and uncurved guy, so he laughed, and as soon as the laughter fell, he saw Wang Jien hurriedly walking in from the gate of Funing Palace; As he walked inside, he said, "Holy Lord, is the slave wrong?" ”

Grandpa Tai didn't answer Wang Jien's question, but only asked if King Jin had come.

Wang Jien said in a panic: "Holy Lord, Lord Jin is here, and he is changing his clothes in the dressing room!" Today's snow is really heavy, and it was not easy for King Jin to come over from the mansion! ”

When the great grandfather heard that Zhao Guangyi was coming, he often sighed, looked at Wang Jien and said, "I want to have two drinks with the imperial brother tonight, and Ah Ji will dismiss all the people in the Funing Palace!" ”

Wang Jien retreated back again, and Zhao Guangyi walked in from outside the screen with his head held high.

Wang Jien saw Zhao Guangyi and nodded to him; Zhao Guangyi looked straight to the inside of the Funing Palace.

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin, he laughed loudly and said: "How can the imperial brother be so elegant tonight, and the imperial brother is ordered to come to Xiaopu!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything, staring at Zhao Guangyi in civilian clothes with strange eyes; I don't know what to say.

This is probably the personality of the martial arts, not as sleek and sophisticated as the literati.

Zhao Guangyi is a literati, even if he is hostile to people, he does not show it in person, but he seems to be a very affectionate old friend......
