Chapter 1 This is a famous eunuch
Outside the window, a bright moon hung high, and the soft moonlight crept in. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the bookcase with antique things such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, a thin figure is holding a brush and carefully carving on the paper. seems to be practicing the words with a concentrated expression, but the words are written softly and miserably, but the corner of the young man's mouth still has a happy smile. If there is a calligrapher on the side, and he sees him practicing calligraphy on the high-grade Xuande tribute paper with precious purple hair, I am afraid that he will not be able to help but strangle him to death in one breath.
Perhaps because of distraction, his hand suddenly shook, and the words he was writing drew a long stroke, and the already miserable words instantly turned into ghost drawings.
With a "snap", Zheng De couldn't help but throw the brush out in his hand with some annoyance. The whole person sat on the chair, looking at the bright moon outside the window, his eyes gradually became blurred, and his thoughts were full of thoughts for a while, and his soul flew out of the sky.
I was an ordinary college student in the 21st century, but after waking up in a daze, I was surrounded by a large group of people who seemed to be wearing ancient costumes. Before he could reflect what was going on, he was surrounded by everyone and walked towards a magnificent hall. In front of a huge coffin, facing the black pressure in front of him, the person who knelt in a piece and shouted "long live" in an official robe was the emperor.
In this way, he became the most noisy emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a wry smile, what the hell is going on? Is it compensation for not getting a job? But that's too much!
"Long live Lord, what's wrong?" Perhaps hearing the sound inside, a lieutenant eunuch in a big red python robe walked in from outside. I picked up the brush on the ground and carefully presented it.
Zheng De was startled by Wang Yue, who suddenly appeared, and was about to cover the paper on the imperial case, but thinking that he had already seen it, he gave up directly. pointed to the brazier on the ground next to the imperial case, and directly ordered, "Remove the brazier, and wipe the ground by the way." ”
The brazier was specially placed by Zheng De to burn the paper he used to practice calligraphy. This is also a helpless move, who let him come through the time, and tragically did not get any memory of Zhu Houzhao. He can't write with a brush, so he can only secretly practice calligraphy according to Zhu Houzhao's previous handwriting, and the brazier is naturally used by him to destroy evidence. After all, if someone knows about it, no one knows what will happen. But now that he was seen by Wang Yue, he didn't bother to continue to cover it up, he was too tired.
Although Wang Yue wondered what the emperor was doing with these ghost talismans on the paper, he didn't think much about it, walked outside the door and said hello, and soon a little eunuch walked in with his head down. Kneeling on the floor, he wiped it carefully, and then lowered his head and went out backwards, not daring to look up at the emperor from beginning to end. This is the authority of the emperor, and not everyone can see the face of heaven.
Seeing that Wang Yue didn't have much heart, Zheng De was also secretly relieved. But after thinking about it, he picked up the paper again, looked at him and asked deliberately, "Wang Yue, do you know what is on it?" ”
"This ......" Wang Yue looked at the things on the paper that looked like ghost drawings and words, and his face was embarrassed, and he couldn't say why for a long time.
Zheng De smiled happily, it seemed that he had made the right bet. Even if he really did something wrong unintentionally, as long as he didn't take the initiative to say it, except for the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, no one dared to question it, and he was now the son of tomorrow!
When Zheng De thought of this, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. In the past month, he has been under a lot of pressure, and he is careful in everything he does, for fear of accidentally leaking out. But now that I think about it, it's a bit unfounded. After all, in addition to the soul, he is a genuine Zhu Houzhao. As for the soul? No matter in this life or this life, how many people really believe in such ethereal things?
Zheng De couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. As for the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces, she also said that she had amnesia, and she did faint in front of the coffin of Emperor Hongzhi, and there is evidence from the imperial doctors, so there is no need to worry too much.
Letting go of the worries in his heart, the whole person was suddenly reborn, which not only made him feel a lot more relaxed, but also allowed him to really let go of everything and start thinking about something in the future.
Thinking that there is a chance that he will not be able to go back, this Zhengde Emperor is decided. It's a pity that although the position of the emperor is good, it is not what Zheng De desires in his heart. He is not a very ambitious person, and now he just wants to live a peaceful and prosperous life. However, the emperor has been a high-risk profession since ancient times, and almost every son of heaven has been accompanied by swords and swords in his life, and the thought of this cruel reality makes him always shudder and want to give up this position.
But it's easy to sit on and hard to come down, the emperor is not someone who wants to do it, and whoever doesn't want to do it can not do it. Few rebels in history have had a good end, and even more so for the emperor of the Zen throne. What's more important is that his cheap dad only has his son, and no one will take over the Zen position.
At this moment, Zheng De suddenly thought of a famous sentence in Qian Zhongshu's "Siege of the City": Marriage is like a besieged city, those outside the city want to enter, and the people in the city want to come out. If you want to come to the position of the emperor, it is also the same.
Glancing at Wang Yue, who was still standing aside, Zheng De waved his hand, "You go down." ”
"The slave and maid are gone." Wang Yue glanced at Zheng De deeply, and retreated.
Zheng De got up and looked at the bright moon outside the window, and he didn't know what was happening on the other side of the earth? However, since his parents were both killed in a car accident while he was in college, he has no relatives except for a sister-in-law. Maybe she's now aware of her disappearance, and maybe she'll be sad for a while, right? However, life still needs to go on, and with my cousins and cousins to take care of me, I am much more relieved. Since I can't go back, I will spend my life here. I believe that my parents in the spirit of heaven also hope that I will live well.
With a light sigh, Zheng De walked out of the hall.
"The Emperor"
Wang Yue, who was waiting outside the palace gate, saw Zheng De coming out, and was about to follow, but he stopped him by his words.
"Don't come along, I'll walk alone."
Even though he has been in this world for nearly a month, Zheng De is still not used to living a life of hugging people from front to back. It is often to retreat left and right, wandering around the palace alone, thinking about things casually.
Looking at Zheng De's departing back, Wang Yue sighed worriedly. It seems that after the death of the first emperor, the emperor felt as if he had lost his soul, and stayed in the Qianqing Palace all day long to draw some ghost talismans, as if he wanted to write something to burn for the emperor's spirit in the sky. Although the emperor misses the emperor, it is not good to go on like this, how can the emperor's body stand it. No, tell the queen mother of the two palaces about this and ask them to decide.
Thinking of this, Wang Yue immediately hurried towards the harem.
If Zheng De knew that his act of destroying the evidence had turned into a cheap dad who burned paper for himself, he would probably be unable to help laughing, but unfortunately he didn't know about it at the moment.
……
The palace says it's not small, but it's not big. For Zheng De, who had never visited the Forbidden City in his previous life, it was quite novel at first. However, half a month is enough time for him to tour the palace back and forth, and now there is no initial novelty, but sometimes he feels bored and panicked, so he goes to the Taiye Pool in the west garden of the palace for a walk, and by the way, he relaxes.
As soon as he walked to the square of the Qianqing Palace, Zheng De inadvertently looked around, but saw that a palace in the west was brightly lit. Zheng De seemed to remember something, with an inexplicable smile on his face, and turned around and walked towards the palace. He made a silent gesture to the eunuch waiting outside the door, who gently pushed open the heavy pineapple door.
The hall is lit with candles and sandalwood. In the middle of the hall, there is a plaque of "Mao Xue Diligent Government", and a dragon chair more than three feet high is placed under the plaque. Other than that, there was nothing else in the empty hall. However, in the inner room on the left, there is a "rustling" sound of paper and pen intersecting.
Zheng De walked in, only to see a middle-aged man with a white face buried in the mountains of folds, correcting with a focused expression. Maybe it was because he was so focused that he didn't even notice when he walked in.
Looking at this person, Zheng De couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have known that the focused middle-aged man in front of him was Liu Jin, the famous "Emperor" in history?
As one of the three famous eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, how could Zheng De not have heard of this great name. When he first heard this person's name, he was also shocked. Based on the historical image, I can't help but label it as a traitorous villain. If it weren't for the fact that he was Zhu Houzhao's favorite servant, he was afraid of revealing his feet or something, and he wouldn't have known which corner he would have been relegated to.
However, just when Zheng De faced the mountains of concerts, thousands of grass and mud horses whistled past in his heart, and he was at a loss. This intimate old comrade Liu stood up at the right time and helped him handle all the pieces almost day and night. moved him, who was already exhausted, and gave the famous eunuch a new job of "approving red". The so-called approval of red means that the celebrant eunuch drafted his opinion according to the vote of the cabinet, and wrote it on the chapter in red letters, indicating that it was the emperor's instructions to deal with it.
However, in order to prevent Liu Jin from wielding power like in history, he will also spot check the pieces he has approved from time to time. However, this historical celebrity has been honest this month, and he has not made any mistakes, which also makes Zheng De relieved.
As for letting Liu Jin criticize the red, Zheng De felt that it was nothing, how could he do everything himself as a leader. Besides, in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was a tradition of letting the celebrant approve the red. But what he didn't know was that the precedent of eunuchs helping the emperor approve red in history seemed to start with Liu Jin. History seems to have returned to square one at this moment, and nothing has changed. If Zheng De knew about it, he didn't know how he would feel.
"Long live the Lord"
Liu Jin looked up at this time, only to find that the emperor appeared beside him from time to time, and he was so frightened that he trembled and fell to the ground with a "plop".
"Get up." Zheng De waved his hand and sat down directly in Liu Jin's seat just now.
looked at Liu Jin, who was standing aside, and asked, "What are the important things recently?" ”
Liu Jin paused slightly, and said with a little hesitation, "It's nothing special, it's just that the three pavilion elders jointly signed a concert." ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" Zheng De was a little surprised, he was able to get the three cabinet bigwigs to jointly write a letter, and what he said must be extraordinary, but there seems to be nothing major happening in the imperial court recently!
"Let's take a look at it for myself." Liu Jin handed over the fold.
Zheng De glanced at him suspiciously, took the fold and looked at it. You must know that the fold is written in traditional Chinese and Chinese, so it seems to be a very difficult thing for him, and if it is not, it will not give Liu Jin the opportunity to rise like a repetition in history. So from now on, the general recitals are approved by Liu Jin according to the cabinet's votes, and the important ones are the recitals that need to be handled by Zheng De, of course, Liu Jin is asked to dictate the content first, and then take the recitals and browse them again to confirm that they are correct before making a decision. Now he let himself see it for himself, and he doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in this Liu Jin's gourd?
