Ask for tickets, ask for collections, ask for clicks, ask for everything~~~
Wang Chengen woke up suddenly, and he suddenly realized that the real feeling just now was just a dream, but it was like a spring dream, but the pain, unbearable pain, and terrifying torment were vivid, and he couldn't help but suspect that everything under his eyes was just the environment, and only the pain was eternal.

Wang Chengen opened his eyes from the bed, and what came into his eyes was a tortoiseshell screen bed, on which hung Suzhou embroidered curtains and brass inlaid with gemstone hooks, this bed was extremely delicately decorated, with railings on both sides, and the couch fans on both sides were made of luodian, which radiated a luxurious light under the light of the rising sun that penetrated into the bedroom.
The bed is comfortable and smart, but it's not big, and it can only accommodate two people at most. Wang Chengen remembered that Wanli and the early years of the Apocalypse were popular in the palace a huge, extremely stupid big bed, which must be moved by more than ten people, and seven or eight people could sleep at the same time, and the end was stupid and stupid, which was built by the skilled craftsmen in the palace according to the secular appearance, and it was also carved with auspicious patterns such as eight immortals crossing the sea and birthday stars offering peaches. But the eunuchs liked the new and hated the old the most, and they got tired of it after three or four years, but they liked the small and beautiful beds again, and those huge and stupid beds that cost a lot of money became the firewood in the palace.
Wang Chengen sat up slowly from the bed and did not get out of bed immediately, this was an old eunuch who taught him not to get out of bed immediately after getting up, which will help prolong his life.
When a little eunuch saw Wang Chengen getting up, he immediately stepped forward: "Master, you're awake!" He spoke a little loudly, which made Wang Chengen, who had just gotten up and was not very sober, a little dissatisfied, and he frowned.
The little eunuch is used to observing words and feelings, and seeing that Wang Chengen is not happy, he immediately shouted with a crying voice: "Master, the little one knows the mistake, the little one knows the mistake!" ”
Seeing this, Wang Chengen couldn't help but have a headache, so he had to comfort: "You're right, it's just that I just woke up and have a headache, you help your grandfather up, wash and dress your grandfather, the emperor will be summoned later, you can't miss a big event!" ”
Hearing this, the little eunuch burst into tears and laughed, and went to fetch a copper basin for water.
Wang Chengen sighed in his heart, this worldly man really did not say anything wrong, saying "The eunuch has three sexes, don't mess with him", the so-called "three sexes", one is moody and makes trouble at will; the second is to be tearful and good, blindly coquettish; But if you are right in their minds, you might as well sell your head to you, this is the third nature. Isn't his serving as a eunuch the best embodiment of these three personalities!
The little eunuch brought the water and helped Wang Chengen wash his face and trim his eyebrows, and then chattered endlessly: "Father-in-law Zhang said that he had recently obtained a new treasure, and he wanted to invite you to appreciate it together after you left the class. He spoke with a slurp in his mouth, obviously envious of this life.
Wang Chengen thought about it, this father-in-law is the general manager of the imperial prison, and he belongs to the big fat difference in the twenty-four yamen, in addition to the palm print on it, he is in charge of the construction of the royal screen, furnishings, beds, tables and cabinets and other wooden utensils and ivory, sandalwood, ebony, luodian, carved lacquer and other playthings, the most can get up and down his hands, fill his own pocket. What kind of good things have not been seen in a character like him, so that he can say that it is a treasure, and it must be a rare treasure.
It's just that this eunuch was originally the emperor's servant, and what he used, worn, and eaten was all given by the emperor, and he was so full of his own pockets, after all, he would still spoil the emperor's good country!
Because Wang Chengen was still young when he entered the palace, he was able to study in the inner study hall for several years. This inner study hall is the place where Xuande's grandfather was benevolent and virtuous, and allowed eunuchs to study, and they could serve in the twenty-four yamen when they read it, because they were able to write and be talented, such eunuchs would generally have a better future. The people who teach in the inner study hall are not ordinary people, they are all Hanlin who was born in the first and second grades, and the one who taught Wang Chengen was Li Hanlin in the forty-seventh year of Wanli. It is precisely because of this that Wang Chengen deeply understands that this world is originally the world of the emperor's grandfather, and what is the difference between these eunuchs who are so luxurious and corrupt and the bookkeepers who eat inside and outside the big family?
Perhaps the only difference is that the bookkeeper eats inside and outside, and it is only the owner family who suffers, but these dogs eat inside and crawl outside, but it is the whole world that causes trouble!
But then again, Wang Chengen really can't hate these poor people who have the same fate as him, they are all poor people who have no roots and no future, they have no heirs in their lifetime, and they can't enter the family temple after their deaths, they are all lonely souls and wild ghosts who can't enjoy incense, and if they don't enjoy more when they are alive, when they die, when they come to Lord Yama, how can they say it?
Therefore, Wang Chengen sometimes wonders, is there something wrong with this, why do you let these eunuchs have so much power, but don't let them have a thought and a hope? Although he has only read books for six or seven years, he also knows the difference between this gentleman and the villain, although the gentleman can have perseverance without permanent property, but the villain can't, why can't he give the villain a little constant birth, so that they can live in peace and pass on to future generations?
But if you think about it deeper, it will involve the entire eunuch system, Wang Chengen will not think like this, and he will not dare to think like this.
"Master, what do you think?" The little eunuch brought a bronze mirror to Wang Chengen and asked him to carefully examine his dignity.
Wang Chengen looked at the bronze mirror, it was sent by Li Gonggongxin, the mirror is in the shape of eight sunflowers, and the back is engraved with the words "longevity and wealth", the workmanship is exquisite, the shadow is clear, it is a rare good mirror.
It's just that this eunuch thinks about "longevity and wealth", isn't it too ironic? Wang Chengen sighed and thought so.
"Master, what are you wearing today?" The little eunuch asked earnestly again.
"Just wear the five-beam crown." Wang Chengen deliberately chose a crown that is not easy to cause suspicion, originally Grandpa Hongwu set the system, the eunuchs did not have court clothes and did not have a position to wear the same as the common people, but now these systems have long existed in name only, and the eunuchs have created clothing, even if they encounter a big death or repair the province, they can also play tricks. They often use azure or bamboo-green flower sara instead of a pair of cyanosis, and then lined with light red underwear, which looks very beautiful, but where the crown of the clothes is, where the etiquette exists, let these people tamper with the clothes at will, where should the Ming etiquette and etiquette go?
sighed again, and let the little eunuch serve and put on a lilac python robe, tied with luan belts on both sides, and wore light red velvet leather boots on his feet, Wang Chengen took him to the celebrant eunuch, he is now the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and the celebrant belongs to the top yamen among the twenty-four yamen, so his status is quite high, and he is qualified to have his own eunuch.
The celebrant is located in the northeast of Wansui Mountain, and also has his own printing house, Wang Chengen has not specifically understood, it is said that there are thousands of printing workers in it, who are responsible for the court documents, announcements, and printing books every day, which can be regarded as busy.
Although the power of the celebrant is very great, and he is in charge of the authority of Zhu Pi's cabinet votes, the building of the celebrant is not conspicuous in appearance, but it does not cost a lot of money and food. When the house was first built, it is said that many beams were erected in the carpentry factory, and each beam was hollowed out from the head, and then the hot tung oil was poured into it. The celebrant also has his own color paintings, which are full of secular pictures, such as the Three Ying Battle Lu Bu, Mu Guiying's Great Breaking Heaven Gate Array, etc., which cost thousands of catties of glue, which shows that the aesthetics of these eunuchs are not smart.
Wei Zhongxian has been waiting for the celebrant early in the morning, although he is arrogant and domineering, but he has always been extremely diligent, especially now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, everyone can't touch the new emperor's mind, so he is more and more attentive in doing things, for fear that something will go wrong and cause trouble.
Wei Zhongxian gave birth to a good skin, long face and wide nose, full of heaven, especially his pair of eyes, the eyes are blazing, flashing, as long as he looks at you, you feel as if he is completely seen through by him, which makes many people dare not look at him. Wei Zhongxian wore his self-created "Pai Lian" costume, which was decorated with pearls, as well as gold-woven longevity characters and happy yarns, which looked magnificent, like a play during the New Year.
On his head was the nine-beam crown, which was originally the top of the seven-beam crown, but Wei Zhongxian held the authority and controlled the upper and lower levels, and did not dare to disobey, so Shengsheng changed the seven-beam crown to a nine-beam crown to show his incomparable majesty. Seeing that Wang Chengen was wearing a five-beam crown, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help laughing and said: "Cheng'en father-in-law, why don't you wear a five-beam crown instead of a seven-beam crown?" He was originally a scoundrel and didn't even know a single word, but after staying in the palace for a long time, he also learned some literary words, such as "why" was his new learning, which made Wang Chengen, who claimed to have received a Hanlin education, quite despised.
But Wang Chengen definitely didn't dare to show this kind of contempt in practice, he respectfully bowed, which was more standard than the salute when the new emperor ascended the throne and held the great court, and he was pious, and then said: "Nine thousand nine hundred years old here, what kind of thing is a villain, dare to be two less than you?" How dare you wear a seven-beam crown? Only bring a five-beam one, just make up a number. ”
Wei Zhongxian seemed to be very satisfied with his attitude, and smiled at the other eunuchs around him: "This Wang Chengen is a well-behaved person, and he knows that he can't compete with the old ancestor and me, but if you are so humble, it will seem that the old ancestor and I have no tolerance for people, which is not good." That's it, Ancestor, I will allow you to wear a six-beam, and if you perform well, add another beam! ”
The number of beams in this crown has always been singular, when did it mean six beams? If this thing is on the head, I am afraid that Wang Chengen will lose his hair!
Just looking at the envious or jealous eyes of the eunuchs around him, how could Wang Chengen dare to say what was in his heart? Therefore, he had to kneel down and thank him and said, "Thank you for the 9,900-year-old reward!" The little one is out of work today, so I asked someone to make a six-beam crown to wear! ”
