Chapter 382: Do You Have the Guts to Go In?
Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the thin and short eunuch in front of him in detail. Although the eunuch is short, his appearance is not bad, his nose is straight and his mouth is square, and there is a heroic aura in a trance. The two eyes are not big, but they are very bright, and at a glance you know that you are a very wise and decisive person.
Looking at his age, he was only thirty years old, especially his voice, which was obviously different from other eunuchs. The voice of the eunuch is generally relatively high-pitched, but the one in front of him is very rough and thick, which is extremely incompatible with his figure.
Zhou Zhi has always been puzzled, he is also a eunuch in the palace, but some have become very feminine, but some still retain the voice and spirit of men. is like Zhang Yongge, although he endured the pain and self-harmed himself to give himself such a knife, but if Zhang Yongge was not wearing the clothes of a eunuch in the palace, he would not be able to see that he was a eunuch at all.
This may have something to do with the sooner or later you will be stabbed.
Seeing Zhou Zhi's hesitation, the eunuch smiled slightly and said, "Our family's name is Wei Bin, and we are now serving by the prince's side." Our family came today, but we didn't follow the orders of the prince. However, Zhou Zhixiucai, since our family is here, you must immediately follow our family into the palace. ”
His attitude towards Zhou Zhi made Zhou Zhi unhappy. But Zhou Zhi immediately thought, Wei Bin, this name seems to be very familiar.
By the way, he should be one of the "Eight Tigers" in the Zhengde period.
When he thought of the "Eight Tigers", Zhou Zhi was even more unhappy in his heart. According to historical records, these "Eight Tigers" are all flattering sycophants, and there don't seem to be many good people. Of course, his own Zhang Yongge is an exception. As for Wei Bin, although Zhou Zhi didn't know much about him, he shouldn't be too bad in his memory.
But when Wei Bin came, he didn't say whose order he was given, nor what he led himself into the palace for. This made Zhou Zhi hesitate a little. But Wei Bin said that he was a eunuch serving the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, not on Zhu Houzhao's orders, but also on the orders of a very important person in the palace.
In this way, it is impossible not to go.
Zhou Zhi nodded immediately.
said to go, Wei Bin hurriedly walked in front, Zhou Zhi followed closely behind, and the two came out of the dining room courtyard one after the other.
Wei Bin was obviously still familiar with Guozijian, and then he went directly into Guozijian Priest Cheng Minzheng's room.
He obviously asked for leave for Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Zhi has been studying in Guozijian for almost four months, and he has almost no contact with Cheng Minzheng, so he didn't go in.
The effort was not great, so Wei Bin came out in a hurry. Cheng Minzheng smiled and sent it out very respectfully.
"Huh! Master Cheng stay, let's go. There are a lot of things in the palace these days, and our family, as the prime minister of Shang Shan Supervisor, is now serving by the prince's side, and he is very busy every day! Wei Bin also smiled and said.
Zhou Zhi didn't know until this time that this Wei Bin was the prime minister eunuch of Shangshan. In fact, as one of the twelve supervisors, Shangshan Jian is a good department. This Wei Bin is the prime minister, and he is only under the eunuch of Shangshan. It shows that his status is actually not low, and now he is serving the prince part-time. It's no wonder that Cheng Minzheng respects him so much.
Zhou Zhi was even more puzzled, how he was a prisoner of the Guozijian and studied in the Guozijian for a good student, so he got into trouble with the eunuch of Shangshan Prison. Besides, if the eunuch of Shangshan Jian led him into the palace, this would definitely not be a big deal.
Yes, if the emperor or the empress, or other important people in the palace gave an order to let themselves enter the palace, they would not let a eunuch who was still a food eunuch lead them. It's inexplicable.
couldn't help but glance at Cheng Minzheng, but coincidentally, Cheng Minzheng also looked in the direction of Zhou Zhi, and the eyes of the two were intertwined. Zhou Zhi suddenly found that Cheng Minzheng's old and spicy eyes had a light that Zhou Zhi couldn't fathom, which was meaningful.
After Cheng Minzheng looked away quickly, he said, "That is the case, Gonggong Wei will walk slowly." As for this week, Father-in-law Wei is at his own convenience, since there are people in the palace who want to see him, then he can come back when he wants! ”
Wei Bin laughed dryly twice, greeted Zhou Zhi, and strode up.
There was a carriage parked outside Guozi Prison, and after Wei Bin got into the car, he said expressionlessly and let Zhou Zhi get into the car. Zhou Zhi then got into the carriage, and the carriage went straight to the palace.
Although Zhou Zhi and Wei Bin were in the same carriage, Wei Bin never spoke. He didn't speak, and Zhou Zhi didn't speak. This made Wei Bin a little surprised, and he couldn't help but look Zhou Zhilai up and down carefully.
In Wei Bin's mind, when ordinary people encounter a situation like today, they will directly lead you into the palace without explaining any reason, nor saying that they were ordered by whom. Ordinary people will hesitate and ask themselves in detail.
But this week, Zhou Zhi seems to be very calm, as if he doesn't care. Just his calmness is really not to be underestimated.
It's no wonder that the people who let him get him are very interested in him.
There was a dull atmosphere in the carriage, but fortunately, the Guozijian was not far from the palace, and it didn't take much effort to get outside the palace gate.
The last time Zhou Zhi accompanied Kou Peihan to the palace, he had actually been waiting not far from the palace.
In later generations, Zhou Zhi naturally visited here many times. However, it has undergone numerous repairs or expansions in later generations, and it is clear that there are still many differences from the imperial palace at this time.
The guards guarding the door were all straight and had serious faces. Seeing Wei Bin, Wei Bin said to them very casually, holding a small sign that he didn't know anything in front of their eyes, and the guards were solemn, and hurriedly got out of the way for Zhou Zhi to enter.
Several guards secretly looked at Wei Bin's back, and secretly said that since Li Guang committed suicide, it seems that the eunuchs in this palace are much better than before. The status of the eunuchs also underwent many changes. When will this Wei Bin, the prime minister of Shangshan, be able to be so bullish and walk with his head held high in the palace?
Alas, people say that once the son of heaven is a courtier. Although Li Guang is not the Son of Heaven, he has fallen, and those who follow him will be somewhat unlucky. However, there are also some who have a higher status than before.
I really can't figure out the reason for this!
When Zhou Zhi entered the palace, an excited mood suddenly arose. No matter what you are here for today, or what you are doing for it, you will eventually enter the palace. Crossing the Ming Dynasty to a poor home, unwilling to be mediocre, determined to make a difference, but the day he walked into the palace was still very sudden.
This is the center of power, and he is just a country talent now, when will he really enter the court, scold Fang Xuan, and do something for this great tomorrow?
Come to think of it, that day shouldn't be too far away.
Not far from the palace, a young little eunuch hurriedly ran over, and whispered a few words to Wei Bin very flatteringly, Wei Bin frowned slightly, but then he smiled bitterly.
"Zhou Zhixiucai, isn't our family ordered again, the people who want to see you are not free yet, you can go to a place with our family!" Wei Bin said.
Zhou Zhi nodded.
Now that they are here, let's see what they are going to do for themselves.
Zhou Zhi followed Wei Bin through the palace for about half an hour, and there was a secluded courtyard in front of him. Wei Bin stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhou Zhi, "Zhou Zhixiucai, this place is called the Lantern Library, I don't know if you have the courage to go in?" ”
