Chapter 9: The Four Incenses of the Imperial Majesty
The morning light slowly opened the curtain, and it was a gorgeous and colorful morning, bringing Xinshuang to the world.
The morning breeze came slightly, and the dew drops slid down the leaves, leaping happily. The green grass woke up under the gentle morning light, and looked even greener under the dewdrops.
After last night's incident, the faces of the people are no longer lifeless, and the seeds of hope in their hearts are germinating, and there will be a day when they will grow stronger.
There was a crowd of people outside, but in the two big tents surrounded by the Xiliang Legion, they were as quiet as water.
In the midst of today's holy shackles, the eighteen-year-old Nizi was blushing, but she was motionless, for fear of waking up her sleeping majesty.
Suddenly, she felt the hand on her chest tighten, and Nizi involuntarily and shyly let out a "hmm".
The shy voice woke up the thirteen-year-old boy Tianzi, and Liu Xie found that his groping pig hand was restless.
I couldn't help pinching it again, although it wasn't big, but I could feel the extremely comfortable softness, and the gentleness of the woman who hugged me.
Sleeping girl turned out to feel this way, and the more than 20 years of my previous life were really in vain.
Gently "smack" her: "Nizi, get up, I want to wash up." β
Nizi hurriedly got up, lowered her head and went to put on her own makeup.
Liu Xie was just about to get up, but found that his pants were wet, and there was no rain last night, could it be a dream!!
Rao is Liu Xie, who has lived for more than 30 years in his two lives, and his little face is also very excited, which means that he can do things for men and women, and his years of virgin career are about to come to an endγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Under the service of Nizi, she changed into underwear, put on a dragon robe, and wore a jade crown on her head, which was twelve.
Just as she was teasing Nizi, a eunuch quickly stepped into the ring, walked forward and knelt down to greet her: "Your Majesty, Miss Liu, I don't know what to order?" β
looked at the calm eunuch in front of him, but he smiled again. This eunuch is a bit interesting, uninvited, has the courage and ambition, but it can be used.
Liu Xie took a step forward and said coldly: "Come here, I have something to ask you." β
The smile on the eunuch's face was even more flattering, clamping the fart~ strands, and stepping forward in broken steps.
When the eunuch came, the Son of Heaven couldn't help but grab his hand, walked to the side of the dragon's bed, picked up a dagger, and slashed his palm.
Blood was sprinkled in the bedding, and it was stained red.
Nizi on the side exclaimed, and suddenly, she seemed to understand something, blushing, lowering her head, and taking care of herself.
I hope that this can deceive Dong Thief and make him think that I am a lustful and incompetent person.
"What's your name?" The Son of Heaven still looked indifferent.
"Slave Xu Yi, Your Majesty spares your life." Eunuch Xu Yi was instantly stunned by the actions of the Son of Heaven, and his smile suddenly froze like rancid milk, even if he had experienced wind and waves, he didn't know what he did wrong for a while, so he had to kneel and beg for mercy.
"I ask you, what's going on with your hands?"
"It was the slave himself who accidentally scratched it, and he didn't dare to bother His Majesty." Eunuch Xu Yi is also anxious.
"Well, next time I have a snack, go down and bandage it, and call all the palace maids and eunuchs who are now serving me, I have something to teach. And from now on, your name is Xiao Yi, and you are the Yellow Gate Order. After saying that, he smiled like a wolf.
This eunuch Xiao Yi performed well just now, and he was so good that he could be of great use in the future.
"The slave thanks Your Majesty, Your Majesty's grace, the slave's death is difficult to repay." Huangmen ordered Xiao Yi to hurriedly kowtow and thank you.
Walking out of the big pot, Xiao Yi touched his back and found that it was a big wet piece. At that moment of swinging the sword, His Majesty's aura was even stronger than that of the first emperor.
After going out, Xiao Yi also reacted, why did the Son of Heaven cut his palm and let the blood drip on the dragon bed.
This Xiao Yi was originally a giant python boy, but his family was poor when he was a teenager, so he wielded a knife to cut off the giant python and entered the palace as a eunuch.
Although Xiao Yi was unknown during the period of the first emperor, he was Zhang Rang's eyeliner in the palace. After the death of Shichang, Xiao Yi wanted to be the second Zhang Rang, so he had a reckless move that was not called Zilai just now.
And Liu Xie also guessed the inner thoughts of this eunuch Xiao Yi, and he also wanted to subdue this person, so he first showed him power, and then gave him grace.
However, he is not a mediocre lord like the first emperor, and the favor of the ten permanent servants in the past is impossible to have again.
Thinking of this, Liu Xie sighed that the favor of cheap father Liu Hong to the eunuchs had almost reached the point of perversion. In the Han Dynasty, the status of the eunuchs was already very high, such as the Zhongchang Servant, who was a thousand stone positions at the beginning, but after Liu Hong took the throne, he waved his pen and increased his salary to two thousand stones, which was comparable to the ministers of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries. And other eunuch positions of 600 stones, such as the Huangmen Order, were also promoted to 1,000 stones.
After the Dong thief entered Beijing, the eunuchs were purged, and the great eunuchs with more than 1,000 stones were all in different places. Not only that, because Dong Zhuo was extremely distrustful of eunuchs, Qianshi's eunuch position has been vacant.
Because of Dong Zhuo's contempt for the eunuchs and his indifference, the eunuchs' lives are very difficult now. Liu Xie vaguely remembered that there were more than a dozen eunuchs who were killed by Dong Zhuo with a rod for no reason these days, and the mortality rate was higher than that of the palace maid.
Therefore, the first problem in front of him is to control the eunuch group so that it can be done in the future. This group of eunuchs, although they are broken, cannot be used for frontal combat, but they can be used as secret agents.
In the later Ming Dynasty, there was not a eunuch institution that frightened hundreds of officials-Dongchang.
Numerous facts prove that the abilities of no one should be underestimated, especially eunuchs and palace maids.
Liu Xie seemed to have grasped something in his heart.
As an emperor, how can he be left to be controlled by others and slaughtered by others!
I don't want to stay in the palace with all my might, and I can't watch the courtiers fight with Dong Thief with grievances.
I want to take off Dong Zhuo's head with my own hands to pay tribute to the subjects who died in vain!
suppressed the killing intent in his heart, Liu Xiejing and other palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied him.
After a period of commotion, about 30 palace maids and more than 40 eunuchs knelt down in front of the palace and shouted long live.
"Well, get up." Liu Xie nodded, but he didn't know which of these people could be used, and which of them were other people's spies.
In any case, what he has to do now is to arrange some positions, at least among these eunuchs and palace maids, he must absolutely control them.
After the palace maid and eunuch got up, the Son of Heaven ordered: "There are no parents at home, and there are no relatives and friends outside the palace to step forward." β
There were eight palace maids and twelve eunuchs bowed their heads and took a step forward.
They were all pitiful people, only to hear the Son of Heaven say again: "The palace maids are over twenty years old, and the eunuchs are over thirty years old. β
At this time, there were only four palace maids and six eunuchs standing in front.
"Well, from now on, you will be my confidants." Liu Xie approached, looking at them with a pair of cold black eyes.
If there are no relatives or friends outside the palace, there is no place to be blackmailed outside; If you are over twenty or thirty years old, you are not the palace that Dong Thief entered when he was in power, and he is of moderate age, not frizzy, and not old.
In this way, most of these ten people should not be Dong Thief's spies at present, so Liu Xie can slowly accept them as henchmen.
Because in the process of the game in the future, no matter how small a chess piece is, it may play a role in determining the overall situation.
After another burst of gratitude, Liu Xie pointed to the four palace maids in turn: "From now on, your name is Chunxiang, and you are in charge of the music; You are Xia Xiang, in charge of the clothes; You are Qiu Xiang, the head of the ornament; You are Dongxiang, in charge. β
The four incense in front of the emperor, the music, the rhythm of the palm sound; Clothes, palm clothes; Division ornament, palm soup and topsy; The division is set up, the bed is in charge of the curtain, and the sprinkler is laid.
Since then, these four people, for a period of time, have been Liu Xie's intimate and warm people.
He also pointed to the six eunuchs: "You are temporarily a small yellow gate, and they are all managed by Li Shilang." β
Liu Xie can't interfere too much in the affairs of the palace for the time being, after all, he is still on the road to the west hunting, and he will give them specific positions when he arrives in Chang'an City and Weiyang Palace. For other palace maids and eunuchs, they are not moving.
Calling out the group of palace maids and eunuchs who were shouting gratitude and showing their loyalty, Liu Xie smiled and pointed at Nizi: "Nizi, from now on, you will be the emperor and righteousness, and you will be in charge of everything." β
Nizi, who was sorting out her clothes, put down the clothes in her hand, knelt down and thanked her: "Slave and maid, thank Your Majesty for your great kindness, long live Your Majesty." β
Liu Xie stepped forward to help the woman, patted the woman who was half a head higher than the son of heaven, and said softly: "Remember, there is no need to be polite with me in the future." β
With these words, it has been obvious to the palace maids and eunuchs that Miss Liu Ni is deeply rooted in the emperor's heart, and she needs to serve this girl like a master in the future.
"Your Majesty has given incense names to the four sisters, I don't know what kind of incense the slave is?" As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at this young man with a look of hope.
"If you want, you will be called Guixiang." Liu Xie said softly.

At this moment, Nizi remembered yesterday's events, and her heart was both shy and happy.
