The palace is a home for the emperor, including the palace maids and eunuchs, guards and concubines, there are tens of thousands of people living in this family, so no matter how wise and powerful the emperor is, one person can't manage such a big family, and can only let some eunuchs and palace ladies supervise on their behalf, and the competition for favor and profit will follow.

For the eunuchs, the palace is a battlefield of life and death, and the slightest carelessness will lead to a catastrophe. There are not a few corpses buried in the shadows of the palace in all dynasties, including eunuchs, palace maids, and even concubines who have lost their grace.

Cao Wei admired those elderly eunuchs very much, because he felt that these people could live in the palace for so long, they must all be mentally excellent, and it was very likely that psychological defects were caused by physical defects, and they became out-and-out perverts, so try not to offend if they can.

For the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, Cao Wei also knew three or four, Zheng He of the Yongle Dynasty, Liu Jin of the Zhengde Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian of the Tianqi Dynasty, and Xiao Jing of the Hongzhi Dynasty.

Zheng He went to the West and everyone knows that Liu Jin's change of law was finally cut by a thousand knives, not to mention Wei Zhongxian, just a nine-thousand-year-old name made him famous in the history of eunuchs. As for Xiao Jing, there are no great achievements in his life, and he has never brought disaster to the country and the people, Cao Wei can remember him because Cao Wei has read a passage, a comment on Xiao Jing's words:

Served the six emperors, the ups and downs of the official career, four Bingbi, four palm seals, 50 years of eunuchs, in charge of the palace weft secret affairs, obedient and humble for decades, more than 100 eunuchs, when he died, he said: "For the minister, loyal also!" ”

In the history of the Ming Dynasty for nearly 300 years, there were a total of 16 emperors, Xiao Jing alone served six generations of emperors, each generation of emperors were favored to him, let him be in charge of the ceremonial eunuch for 50 years, which is a rare situation in all dynasties, Xiao Jing can be called the first eunuch in the Ming Dynasty.

Cao Wei looked at the plain old man in front of him, suddenly laughed, and arched his hand: "Cao Wei has seen Xiao Gong, I don't know what Xiao Gong is doing with such a kid today?" ”

Xiao Jingda pursed his mouth and said, "The old man is not waiting for you, he is just basking in the sun here and just happened to meet you." ”

The smile on Cao Wei's face froze instantly, thinking that people were deliberately waiting for him, but in the end he realized that he was self-inflicted. Come to think of it, how could the eunuch who is the dignified celebrant and the eunuch of the Dongchang factory deliberately wait for him, a small sesame official.

Even if the chat is over like this, Cao Wei arched his hand and said: "Boy Meng Lang, this is my farewell!" ”

"What does the pacification envoy know about the East Factory?"

Cao Wei heard Xiao Jing's question, stopped, and muttered for a long time, not knowing how to answer. He watched many TV series in his previous life, and many times there would be a eunuch who claimed to be from Dongchang, who was very arrogant and domineering as soon as he appeared, framed Zhongliang, did all the bad things, and finally made people angry, but the emperor was blind, trusted him, and entrusted him with great power.

Later, the messenger of justice finally appeared, and after going through a lot of hardships and hardships, he finally lived up to expectations and turned the bad eunuch into a dead eunuch.

In Cao Wei's impression, Dongchang is dark, deep and terrifying, and there are many eunuchs with orchid fingers living in it, who are practicing the Sunflower Book in retreat, just to be able to practice one day and be born, holding a small three-inch-long iron needle, piercing people when they see ......

Xiao Jing saw that Cao Wei didn't speak, and said with a smile: "Presumably, the envoy doesn't know much about the East Factory, so the old man will tell you some of the situation in the East Factory today."

The east factory set up a factory supervisor, the current factory supervisor is a miscellaneous family, the factory supervisor set up more than 40 people, the foreman, the secretary, divided into 12 sections, the section manager wears a round hat, soap boots, and a brown shirt. In charge of the investigation work are the chief and the officer, and the commander is also called the head of the stall......"

"Stop!" Cao Wei smiled bitterly: "Gong Xiao, you don't need to say this to the kid, do you...... What does this mean? ”

How can anyone be busy digging money with an outsider when they meet for the first time? It's like wandering down the street and suddenly someone comes up and says how long he can snap at a time, and that person is either sick or sick......

Cao Wei originally felt that Xiao Jing was quite normal, but now he realized that it was just Xiao Jing hiding deep enough. There is really no cat in this world that does not steal, no dog that does not eat shit, and no eunuch who does not change his mind, even if he is the first eunuch of the Ming Dynasty......

"The miscellaneous family has no other meaning, the miscellaneous family just wants to tell you about the situation in the East Factory, and you will be the commander of the Jinyi Guard in the future......"

"Gong Xiao, you think too highly of me, how can you be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, only a hero with both talent and virtue can take over the position of Mu Shuai and sit on the throne of the commander!"

Xiao Jing smiled: "Then Mu Bin can be regarded as having both talent and morality?" ”

"Ahh Just that old bastard...... I'm sorry, it's the kid who lost his words. Mu Shuai is outstanding, virtuous, and a man who stands up to the sky, so he can naturally be regarded as having both talent and morality. The kid has always taken Mu Shuai as an example, and when the kid grows up, he will also be a person like Mu Shuai! ”

Xiao Jing looked at him stunned, and then scolded with a smile: "Mu Bin is not here, it doesn't matter if he tells the truth, the miscellaneous family has worked with him for many years, how can he not know his temperament, he is just a bastard, sometimes I really want to smoke him." ”

Cao Wei nodded as if he had seen a confidant in his life: "Yes, I really want to smoke him......"

"The miscellaneous family is not old and dizzy, so naturally I can see that Mu Bin wants you to take his place in the future and take charge of Jinyiwei, and the miscellaneous family is also here for this matter today......

"Gong Xiao, you just said that you weren't waiting for me!"

Xiao Jing glared at him and said, "The miscellaneous family finally knows why His Majesty wants to smoke you, this mouth of yours is really underdrawn, if the miscellaneous family is not old, they will also smoke you personally." The miscellaneous family is waiting here today because you want to talk to you about a deal......"

"I don't cut it, I don't cut it to death, I just want to be a good man in my life!"

“…… No one told you to cut! Xiao Jing said sharply: "Can't you listen to the miscellaneous family finish speaking?" Yes? Cough! It's really infuriating. ”

Cao Wei said with a smile: "It's good if you don't cut me, you are old and angry, and you like to lose your temper when you are so old, this is not good, maybe one day you will become a dead eunuch if you can't get up in one breath...... Okay, okay, don't get excited, I won't talk about it. You just said you were going to do business with the kids? ”

Xiao Jing rubbed his chest and said, "That's right, do a business." If you become the commander of the Jinyi Guard in the future, you must restrain your subordinates and try not to let there be a big conflict between the factory guards. In return, if you are in trouble in the future, the miscellaneous family can help you three times. ”

Cao Wei was stunned and said, "Gong Xiao, what do you mean by this?" ”

Xiao Jing was silent for a moment, and said: "The miscellaneous family just doesn't want to see the factory guards kill each other, and when the miscellaneous family and Mu Bin don't take care of anything, this factory guard has no constraints, I'm afraid it will turn the sky upside down." Our Ming Dynasty has only been stable for a few years, and the miscellaneous family really can't bear to see the turmoil in the court. ”

Cao Wei looked at the old man straightly, bowed down, and said: "Don't worry, Gong Xiao, Cao Wei understands, and in the future, he will definitely let the factory guards love each other, and the affection will be long." You are a good eunuch, and you will definitely go down in history in the future, the reason why our Ming Dynasty exists so strong is because of a backbone like you. ”

Xiao Jing waved his hand and said: "You hurry up, the only son of the Tang Shilang family was secretly ruined by you and cut off the roots of the descendants, and also blamed the Tatar envoys, and now Tang Shilang is pulling the Tatar envoys to come to His Majesty to be the master, and the time has come."

If the Tatar envoys see you, then you will be in big trouble, don't ask why the miscellaneous family knows so much, the miscellaneous family is the governor of the East Factory, everything that should be known and what should not be known, if you don't leave, it will be too late! ”

Cao Wei's color changed, he arched his hand indiscriminately, and ran out of the palace quickly.
