In the previous life, people often lamented that the New Year's flavor was much lighter, everyone got together, faced with a table full of dishes but did not have much appetite, perfunctory chatting, swiping mobile phones, grabbing red envelopes, watching the boring and indispensable Spring Festival Gala, and waiting until the New Year to complete the task as if following their parents, carrying a few gifts to a few relatives, the year is over.

For many young people, they don't even like to visit relatives at all, preferring to stay at home and play with their mobile phones rather than deal with all kinds of interrogations from relatives.

Jiang Chuan remembered reading a news before, on the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, an old man overturned the table of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, just because the children and grandchildren who were waiting hard were facing the table full of delicacies but were bowing their heads and playing with their mobile phones.

This has almost become the norm in previous lives, and people's daily lives have been tightly ruled by mobile phones.

Today is the first Chinese New Year's Eve of the first year of Wude.

The number of people in the palace today is not very large, in addition to the emperor himself, the harem concubines are only the queen and the nobles.

Although Bai Jinxiu also planned to let Jiang Chuan include Liu Ru in the palace, but before he could speak, Liu Ru rushed back to Jiangnan, after all, he still had to spend the New Year with his brother.

Liu Yong also got married in the autumn and married a virtuous woman in Gaoyou.

In the past, when Jiang Chuan was not yet emperor, Liu Ru could still stay in the palace under the pretext of learning swordsmanship from Bai Jinxiu. Now that Jiang Chuan has become the emperor, it will not look good if she stays any longer without an official title.

There are only about 1,000 eunuchs and palace maids in the palace today, and they are basically left over from the previous dynasty.

At the peak of the previous dynasty, there were about 100,000 eunuchs and maids in the palace. And now these thousands of people scattered in this huge palace really seem a little deserted.

Therefore, after Jiang Chuan discussed with the empress, he prepared to have a more lively Chinese New Year's Eve this year.

On the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Hai, the great eunuch who was regarded as the chief administrator of the Great Interior, led a group of small eunuchs to carry ladders to the Qianqing Palace where the emperor lived, the Kunning Palace of the empress, and the Yuxiu Courtyard of the Xuan nobles were hung with large red lanterns.

Even the trees in the passage between the palaces were wrapped with red ribbons.

There are long red couplets pasted on both sides of the gates of several palaces, and the words on the couplets are vigorous and chic, which is naturally the emperor's handwriting.

The palace maids were busy under the leadership of the female official Deng Xiaojin, decorating various palace rooms, preparing new clothes for the emperor and queen, nobles and little princesses, etc., and they were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.

Empress Bai Jinxiu also took a group of palace ladies to work together, not only to take care of the little ones, but also to prepare for tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and tomorrow night's New Year's banquet between the emperor and the ministers.

Qi Xuan naturally had to be busy, so Jiang Chuan, the emperor, became the most idle one.

There was nothing left and right, Jiang Chuan didn't plan to be a model worker today, so he simply asked people to take a lot of couplet paper and start writing couplets.

In his previous life, he would write couplets to his family and neighbors every year when he returned home, and he still remembers many of the couplets clearly. The content of these couplets is common in ancient and modern times, and it is not contrary to harmony.

The emperor rolled up his sleeves and wrote couplets, while a small eunuch sharpened the ink beside him.

When the little eunuch's wrist was sore, the emperor stopped unsatisfied. In the morning, more than 40 couplets were written, and the entire imperial study was spread everywhere on the table.

After writing it, Jiang Chuan had a bad taste again, learned from Qianlong, and stamped his private seal, leaving the emperor's mark.

Seeing that the emperor stopped, the little eunuch hurriedly sent a hot towel to the emperor to wipe his hands and face, and then brought a cup of hot tea to moisten his mouth.

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood and had a smile on his face, the little eunuch said boldly: "Your Majesty's writing is really good, and the slave maid looks at it and thinks that it is better than Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing." ”

This paradoxical world does have these two.

"Have you read? Do you still know these two sage masters? Hearing this, Jiang Chuan looked at the little eunuch with interest and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid went to a private school for two years when she was a child, and I heard Mr. tell me about the names and deeds of these two sages and masters." The little eunuch was a little frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and said.

"Get up and speak, and don't kneel still. I'm not a tiger. ”

"No!" The little eunuch hurriedly got up again, but he was still hunched and hunched on his back.

"It seems that he is still literate and hyphenated. What is your name? Jiang Chuan nodded and asked casually.

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid is called Liu Jin." The little eunuch hurriedly whispered.

As soon as he heard this name, Jiang Chuan's eyelids jumped, and he raised his eyes to look up and down at the little eunuch in front of him who looked harmless to humans and animals.

The timeline of this world is really messy enough, there was a Wei Zhongxian in front, and now there is another Liu Jin, and they are all eunuchs, is this deliberately disgusting?

For a moment, Jiang Chuan had the urge to get rid of the person in front of him.

But after thinking about it, I really put the cart before the horse, and I was worried.

Whether it is Liu Jin or Wei Zhongxian, no matter how powerful he is, he is just the emperor's domestic slave. The biggest reason why they can become eunuchs in the original time and space is not how powerful they are, but because the emperors behind them are extremely absurd and mediocre, which gives them the opportunity to grasp power.

Liu Jin's master, Zhu Houzhao, is a playful master, and Liu Jin does what he likes and wins Zhu Houzhao's trust.

Wei Zhongxian's master, Zhu Youxiao, is a carpenter emperor, he doesn't like to study, he only loves carpentry, and he devotes himself to the carpentry business, how can Wei Zhongxian not take the opportunity to seize power?

Therefore, this logic is that there is the absurdity of the emperor's master first, and then there is the eunuch's dictatorship.

He is not Zhu Houzhao, and he will not be Zhu Youxiao, no matter how you look at it, he is a virtuous monarch, and he can make a little eunuch with the same name turn the world upside down?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan smiled self-deprecatingly, stopped talking, and glanced at the little eunuch Liu Jin, only to find that he somehow became pale, trembling like chaff, and trembling with his head down.

He didn't know that at the moment when he had just started his heart, the murderous aura that unintentionally burst out from his body made the little eunuch Liu Jin suddenly feel that a fierce tiger dragon seemed to be staring at him, as if it would devour itself at any time, making his back full of cold sweat, and a feeling of extreme despair rose in his heart.

Jiang Chuan is now a small Jiulong Xuangong, coupled with his status, a word can decide the life and death of tens of millions of people, as long as he moves the killing intent, there will be an aura immediately.

The words of those who practice martial arts will be better, and it is not difficult to meet ordinary people who do not know martial arts, and it is not difficult to be frightened.

Fortunately, he only had a murderous intent for a moment, and it was quickly eliminated again, so the little eunuch Liu Jin did not fall to his knees in fright.
