"Master Yan is here to find you." The subordinate shouted outside the house, "Quick Dao Liu" said, "Got it, let him wait in the living room." "Master, people are also passing through the door." The subordinate shouted at the door again, and "Quick Dao Liu" said impatiently: "You elm head, won't you lead him over." "I said, Brother Liu, what kind of fire are you?" Yan Yong pushed the door open outside and walked in.

"Quick Dao Liu" got up and greeted him and said, "What kind of anger am I, the smell in this room is heavy and I am afraid of smoking you." Yan Yong smelled it when he heard "Kuaidao Liu" say this, but Yan Yong no longer cared and said: "It's okay, I'm here too." "Put what you have in your hand on the table.

Looking at the things on the table, "Kuaidao Liu" picked it up and opened it, and muttered in his mouth: "Today is really the sun hitting the west and coming out, and I eat me, drink me, and take me on weekdays, and I finally see someone back today." "Kuaidao Liu" picked up ginseng from the paper bag and sniffed it, picked up the deer antler velvet and sniffed it, grabbed a red date and threw it into his mouth and chewed it, "Kuaidao Liu" said while eating: "Why do you have time to come to me today?" ”

Yan Yong said: "It was the 'Chief' who asked me to come here to see Qingyu. "Kuaidao Liu" said: "Then this thing was also bought for Qingyu?" Yan Yong nodded in reply.

"Quick Dao Liu" said: "I'll just say, how can you be so good to bring so many things to the old man." Immediately, "Quick Knife Liu" smiled: "But I don't care that Qingyu can't use these now, I'll help him keep these things first." ”

Hearing someone mention his name, Qingyu asked, "Uncle Liu, is there a visitor in the house?" "Quick Knife Liu" came to the bedside and said to Qingyu: "It's a friend of mine who was arrested and imprisoned a few times ago, or he went to help get you out of prison." Listen, "Kuaidao Liu" said that it was the person who relieved himself last time, Qingyu struggled to get up, but was held down by Yan Yong.

Qingyu said: "It's really impossible to get up when you're angry and rude. Yan Yong said: "It's okay, I'm just a gesture, you don't have to be so polite." Qingyu said: "I don't know what Brother Tai calls him, so I can repay you for the relief of the crisis that day." ”

Yan Yong said: "You don't have to be so polite, just call me Yan Yong." ”

Qingyu said: "Oh, it's Brother Yan. Wait for me to relax for a few days, and then invite you to drink and eat. Yan Yong said: "Okay, I don't have any other hobbies for drinking, since that's the case, then we'll make up our minds." Qingyu said: "Definitely." ”

"Quick Dao Liu" said on the side: "You have to talk to my brother Yan, you still refer to him when you enter the palace." He was ........." The words that came to his lips were interrupted by Yan Yong, and Yan Yong interjected: "I know a lot of eunuchs, maybe I don't need to accept your gifts at that time." Okay, Qingyu, it's inconvenient for you to rest more, I still have something to say about Brother Liu. Qingyu said: "Since this is the case, you can get busy, and we will talk about it another day." Yan Yong said: "Definitely." ”

Yan Yong dragged "Quick Knife Liu" out of the room where Qingyu slept, and "Quick Knife Liu" shook off Yan Yong's hand and asked, "Why are you doing this?" Why don't you let me finish my sentence? Now that Qingyu has cleaned his body, do you want to be a shopkeeper, regardless of whether he lives or dies? "Quick Knife Liu" glared at Yan Yong angrily, and Yan Yong said: "Brother Liu, why do you blame me for no reason? ”

"Quick Dao Liu" said angrily: "Why didn't you just let me tell you about the celebrant of the celebrant in the court, you know how much help you can give him?" Yan Yong said: "I don't know, but have you ever thought about how a good sapling can become a towering tree without experiencing wind and rain." "Kuaitian Liu" said impatiently: "You don't have to talk to me." ”

"What did the 'Chief' go to such trouble to get him into the palace? It's not for the sake of being able to get out of the way in the future. The safety of the 'Chief' is all about you and me, and you don't know it. Yan Yong said, "Quick Dao Liu" said finely: "That's the palace, it's the place where the emperor lives, you think it's a place in the market." ”

Yan Yong continued: "The palace seems to be the safest place in the world, but it is actually the most dangerous place. You should understand that the most dangerous thing is the struggle for power, and sometimes you want to stay out of the way. Now that the emperor is weak but there is no prince, at most, in the past two years, there will be movement of Sun Guifei, but will Queen Hu give up so lightly. It won't be a bloody storm. "Quick Knife Liu" asked inexplicably: "Then what does this have to do with your identity to help Qingyu." ”

"My brother Liu, why can't you see through the mystery here?" Yan Yong said to "Quick Knife Liu". "Quick Dao Liu" said in a flurry voice: "I'm not a eunuch, how can I understand your thoughts." "Quick Knife Liu" coldly came out with a hurtful sentence, but Yan Yong was accustomed to it.

Yan Yong said: "Okay, I don't care about who makes you an elder like you. But you can't mention my identity to Qingyu. I will say goodbye first, you don't have to send it. ”

"'Lord Chief,' I'm back from Liu Qing." Yan Yong came to the Jin Mansion, Jin Ying nodded and said, "How is Qingyu seeing him?" Yan Yong said: "When people saw me going, they were lying on the bed talking to Liu Qing." ”

Jin Ying said: "It's better to see him than a few **** to send him to the 'Siyuan Bureau', and he will be used by me a day earlier." Yan Yong said: "'Lord Chief' Liu Qing originally wanted to explain my identity, but I stopped him, I don't know if this matter is appropriate. Jin Ying nodded and said: "You are not wrong in this matter, letting Qingyu know later is to break his mind of 'the big tree is good for the shade', and it is also a good idea to let him polish more in the 'Siyuan Bureau'." ”

Jin Ying got up and continued: "When I am on duty today, you will follow me into the palace first, and we will talk while walking." "Yan Yong obeys" Yan Yong picked up Jin Ying's python robe from the chair next to him and put it on Jin Ying.

Jin Ying and Yan Yong entered Bauhinia City one after the other and came to the celebrant eunuch, and not long after Jin Yinggang sat down, he saw Wang Zhen and Wan Gui coming in from outside. "Yo, you're there, Lord Chief." Wang Zhenying went up and said to Jin Ying, Jin Ying said, "You came in not long after you sat down." ”

Wang Zhen sat down and said: "I just came out of the 'Qianqing Palace', and the emperor has not been asleep for long. Jin Ying said: "The emperor still hasn't slept much at night? Wang Zhen said: "The emperor doesn't know why, he will sleep for a while and a half at night in the past few days, but the hours are not long." Wake up and watch the twists. ”

Jin Ying said: "Oh, that's better than before." Wang Zhen said: "It just so happens that the emperor is asleep, and I also have something I want to discuss with you." Jin Ying said, "Oh? Tell me what to say. Wang Zhen said: "I wonder if I should call in some new palace maids and eunuchs, most of the current people are old, and it is not good to work, and in two years it will be the fiftieth year of the Queen Mother, I feel that I will be summoned into the palace now, and there will be two years to be familiar with the rules of the palace." ”

Jin Ying said: "What you said is also true, these people in the palace are all old people in their twenties and thirties, and now they are a little good, and their deafness and eyes are not good." Jin Ying took a sip of tea, and then changed his words and said: "But they have worked hard for the royal family all their lives, and they are about to be unloaded and killed, isn't it too unkind." ”

Wang Zhen said slowly: "'Lord Chief' is wrong, aren't there two places in the palace where they can be placed, 'Anle Hall' and 'Huanyi Bureau'. They are old and don't have much to use, and they can only serve two meals of rice porridge a day, which alone can save a lot of silver taels. ”

Jin Ying didn't speak, and Yan Yong on the side asked, "Dare to ask the 'Deputy Leader', how many old eunuchs and palace maids do you think you want to lose?" How much silver taels can you save? Wang Zhen said: "There are nearly 1,000 people in the three palaces, six courts, twelve prisons, four divisions, and eight bureaus." As for the silver taels, it can save 100,000 yuan. Jin Ying said: "It's better for anyone to say this, I can't do the thing of poking the backbone, it's not a joke to lose nearly a thousand people at once, if something happens in the palace, you and I can't eat and walk around." Wang Zhen said: "'Chief', don't worry, I'll handle this matter, you just need to pretend that you don't know." ”
