Chapter 69: The Favored Eunuch

(Today's update)

Wang Zhi is still very young and doesn't understand so many big truths, but only understands one thing: everything he has comes from grace.

The emperor favored Wan Guifei, and Wan Guifei favored Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi still remembered that when he first heard that Wan Guifei was more than ten years older than the emperor, he was really shocked, when he was even younger and had no words, he actually said in front of the concubine: "Guifei Niangniang is lucky, she can be favored for so many years." ”

Not only the concubine, but the faces of the people around him have changed, and everyone is thinking, this little eunuch is going to be finished, should he be silent and alone, or will he say something, in order to be appreciated by the concubine?

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Wang Zhi continued: "Your Majesty's love for Niangniang has not been a second case since ancient times, right? I really don't know what kind of blessing I have cultivated in my life, but I can actually see it with my own eyes. ”

If you are two or three years older, these words may not be effective, and some words can only be said by children, and they are innocent and seemingly scheming children.

Wang Zhi is young, his appearance is also small, twelve or thirteen years old, he looks less than ten years old, his eyes are full of sincerity, and there are countless envy and reverence.

No one believed that the child had a scheming, not even himself, no matter how many years had passed, whether it was told to the outside world or in his own memories, every word and emotion that the child said at that time was from the heart.

Through Wan Guifei, Wang Zhi met the young emperor.

He retained the habit of being open-mouthed, and often failed to speak, and even the emperor laughed at him for not learning and not knowing, but what he noticed was that the emperor smiled, not that he should learn a few more words.

"There are so many scholars in the world, and the most learned ones are serving the imperial court, and they were caught by His Majesty in an urn, and I am still missing? I think what His Majesty lacks most is not a scholar, but a loyal person. ”

"Do you think the minister is not faithful enough?"

"If the minister is loyal, Niangniang will not be just a concubine."

Of course, the queen would not like to listen to such a conversation, and when it reached the ears of Wan Guifei, she was very happy, and the emperor laughed it off, and called the little eunuch afterwards and reprimanded him.

Even if he was only a teenager, Wang Zhi could hear that there was still a trace of trust in the emperor's reprimand.

Since then, Wang Zhi has either waited for Wan Guifei or accompanied the emperor, and soon, he found that he and the emperor also had a common hobby - horseback riding.

Wang Zhi likes to ride horses, no matter how fierce the horse is, he dares to ride it, and he has been smashed several times, which makes the onlookers laugh, but he doesn't care at all, and he has to get up again.

The emperor also likes to ride horses, often said that Taizu is the emperor on the horse, only on horseback, can he slightly understand the difficulty of Taizu to start a foundation business, and he will not forget his roots.

Because he loves to ride horses and can ride horses, Wang Zhi was appointed as the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor at a young age, this is a very big official in the palace, for Wang Zhi, it just means that he can ride more good horses, and he will never hide his selfishness, every time he finds a good horse, he always can't wait to inform the emperor, and he is enthusiastic, as if the boy wants to let his best friend see his proud move.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor also has a small army, from the generals to the soldiers are eunuchs, Wang Zhi is naturally "handsome", here, he has made many friends, including Yun Dan.

After the addition of the West Factory, Wang Zhi's efforts to arrest "corrupt officials and corrupt officials" were just as strong as his service to Wan Guifei and the selection of horses in the imperial horse supervision, and he did not shy away from it at all.

The demon fox case is just one of the many cases he has pursued, but he didn't expect it to be planted on it.

"I know that I have offended many people, but I am not afraid, and there is nothing to fear, I do things for Your Majesty, and I arrest bad people, and the more people I offend, the better I do." In the Imperial Horse Prison, when Wang Zhi spoke, everyone else had to listen quietly, especially when he was excited.

Wang Zhi was more excited today, because he felt that he had been wronged and framed, "There is only the demon fox case, I made a mistake." I have only seen it three or two times before the West Factory was established, and I was ordered to make a private visit to the micro-service - can I say that the micro-service private interview? Anyway, I went out of the palace to investigate the case, and in an inn outside the city, I heard Wen Xiucai scolding corrupt officials there, and my face turned red. ”

Wang Zhi sighed, "The people in the store didn't dare to squeak, avoiding him, only I chatted with him afterwards, and it turned out that he really had evidence of several corrupt officials, I checked, and sure enough, I believed him." ”

Wang Zhi walked around, stopped at this time, and asked, "Am I stupid?" The set set up by others, I said that I would jump, and I didn't even have the slightest suspicion. ”

"Well, you're pretty stupid." Hu Guiyang said.

He entered the palace in the morning and was directly sent to the Inner Teaching Factory, which is the place where the warriors of the Imperial Horse Prison practice, and it is also under the jurisdiction of Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "I'm not mistaken, you are really bold, you dare to say what others dare not say." ”

Wang Zhi brought a few people over, all of them stayed outside, and he entered the house alone, not afraid of danger.

"It's nothing to dare to speak, but it's bold to dare to do things."

"It makes sense, I was jealous of the ministers because I dared to do things, and I was included in a book, I really wondered, I arrested all corrupt officials and bad officials, what are these ministers afraid of?"

"Another day, when the ministers plan to kill the eunuchs and corrupt eunuchs, I see if you care."

Wang Zhi was stunned again, "I should have called you into the palace earlier." ”

"I'm here, but not to talk to you."

Hu Guiyang became more and more arrogant, but Wang Zhi did not laugh angrily, "Yes, it is to capture the real demon fox and wash away the stigma on me." ”

Hu Guiyang shook his head, "I don't care about your stigma at all, I want to catch the demon fox to save my life, so I will investigate the case desperately, no matter how wide and high the implication is, even if Wan Guifei and the emperor can't stop me from investigating, unless they kill me." ”

Wang Zhi was even happier, "I didn't see the wrong person, don't worry, I let you into the palace, if something happens, I will bear it, you just let it go." ”

"Okay." Hu Guiyang had been sitting, and then stood up, "I want to see Li Zilong." ”

"Why do you keep wanting to see him? Now it has been confirmed that Li Zilong is just a charlatan, and he has nothing to do with the demon fox, but several eunuchs were coaxed by him to be confused, and even took him into the palace, and even climbed Banzai Mountain! ”

Wang Zhi looked at Hu Guiyang, forgetting the promise he had just given, "I won't make a similar mistake, you can only stay here, unless you are accompanied by me, you are not allowed to go out for a single step, and after investigating the case, you will leave the palace immediately." ”

"Li Zilong sneaked into the palace several times after the demon fox appeared last year, I don't think it's a coincidence. Li Zilong coaxed the eunuch, maybe the demon fox coaxed Li Zilong and used him to sneak into the palace, not knowing where to hide. ”

Wang Zhi thought for a while, "You have a bit of a point, but it's too late, Li Zilong has already fallen to the ground." ”

"Huh? When? I haven't heard of it outside. ”

"It's been a month ago, and I'll probably notify the outside in a while."

Hu Gui raised his brows and frowned slightly, "So, Yun Dan has been lying to me?" ”

Hu Guiyang had already said that he wanted to see Li Zilong, and Yun Dan promised to do it, claiming that he could take Li Zilong out of the palace within a day or two, but what he was waiting for was death.

"It can't be said to be a lie, Li Zilong's death is still a secret, Yun Dan doesn't know, if you want to lie, I also lied to you, I told Yun Dan to wait two more days to take Li Zilong out of the palace, I thought that this would allow you to step up the investigation of the case, but I didn't expect the demon fox to jump out by himself, or my person!"

Wang Zhi cursed a swear word.

"Have you met Wen Xiucai?"

"No, Wen Xiucai is locked up in Jinyiwei, I can't even leave the palace now, how can I still see the prisoner?" Wang Zhi said hatefully.

Hu Guiyang stared at Wang Zhi, left and right.

"What? What's wrong? Wang Zhi felt a little hairy in his heart.

"Your Majesty, why...... Didn't you lock you up? ”

"Because Your Majesty believes that I was just overlooked for a while and was deceived by the demon fox, but my loyalty has not changed, so I just canceled the West Factory and punished me for not being allowed to leave the palace."

"Yes, I'm just curious about this, why does Your Majesty believe you so much?"

Wang Zhi was a little unhappy, "What do you mean?" Am I not worthy of His Majesty's trust? ”

Hu Guiyang sat down again and said with a smile: "Wen Xiucai was arrested, and the two people were the most affected, one is Lord Yuan, but he kept his official position, but it is difficult to return to Jinyiwei, and the other is you, Xichang was laid off and not allowed to leave the palace, in this matter, you are the most damaged, so you are Wen Xiucai's main target." Why Wen Xiucai has to frame you, I guess there must be a reason, and this is not unrelated to His Majesty's trust. ”

Hu Guiyang took a bite to say "you", but Wang Zhi was not angry about this, and nodded, "To be honest, I don't know why Your Majesty trusts me, probably ...... They all love horseback riding, right? ”

Of course, Hu Guiyang didn't think that this would be the real reason, and instead asked: "Li Zilong is dead, what about the eunuchs who were coaxed by him at that time?" ”

"They were all killed, and a few were sent to Nanjing, they were just unlucky, they didn't look at the portal, and they didn't know Li Zilong at all. Hey, if the news of your infiltration into the palace spreads, there must be a few unlucky people going to Nanjing. ”

Having said that, Wang Zhi's tone was very relaxed, and he didn't think that he would be an "unlucky egg" at all.

"What else do you need?" Wang Zhi asked again.

Hu Guiyang entered the palace, but found that there was nothing to investigate, and thought for a while, "I want a bucket of hot water to bathe, a table of good wine and food, and a clean and thick bedding." ”

"That's fine." Wang Zhi's eyes showed anticipation, as if he thought that Hu Guiyang's next sentence would be able to point out who the real demon fox was.

"What other duties do you have besides the Imperial Horse Warden?"

"Chatting with Your Majesty, and serving Concubine Wan, no matter how big an official I am, I am the little eunuch by Concubine Wan's side."

"Chat, Wan Guifei...... Chat, Wan Guifei ......"

Hu Guiyang repeated it, and Wang Zhi reminded: "Wan Guifei is not called by you, when you mention Niangniang, you should just think about it in your heart, don't say it." ”

"How many people have entered the palace from the Broken Teng Gorge besides you?"

"Actually, there aren't many, most of them are guarding the mausoleum and watching the garden outside, and there are only dozens of people in the palace."

"Has anyone been killed since the demon fox appeared last year?"

Wang Zhi shook his head, "No." ”

Hu Guiyang was a little disappointed, and asked in a different way, "Has anyone died?" Anything counts. ”

"Yes, there is more than one, there are so many people in the palace, there will be people who pass away every year, but it has nothing to do with Broken Tengxia, our group of people are still young."

Hu Guiyang was disappointed.

"What else do you have to do?" Wang Zhi was not disappointed, his hopes were all in Hu Guiyang.

"Then there's one last resort left." Hu Guiyang raised his head, "You have to spread the news that I entered the palace." ”

Hu Guiyang can really only use himself to find out the truth.
