Li Wenxuan, who had not lived here for a few days, saw a messenger eunuch in the hall with a voice like a child's voice, no beard on his face, and a Ming Dynasty eunuch costume. This is the first time in his life that he has seen a eunuch. He is not extremely contemptuous of this kind of person who is neither male nor female, but very sympathetic.

Li Wenxuan is very aware of the era he is currently in, but he regards the inheritance of the family as the most serious of the three unfilial pieties, and they cut off the most important part of the body as a man. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way to survive, I guess I wouldn't have taken that knife. With the medical conditions at this time, the mortality rate of this surgical procedure was as high as 20 percent, so those who wanted to eat this dinner were also taking a great risk. What's more, there are many people who have been castrated without permission among the people, and they have not been able to enter the palace to get the imperial food to eat.

Even if those who can survive and enter the palace, it does not mean that they will be able to live without worrying about food and clothing. Perhaps, many of them inexplicably evaporated from the world on a certain day. For the vast majority of eunuchs, it is absolutely out of reach to enter the celebrant eunuch. Their most realistic job is to start with the lowest level of clumsy work, even until the day of death.

As for the very few notorious eunuchs recorded in the history books, they can be regarded as tragic figures, after all, the person who wrote the pen will not be the eunuch among them, but the literati and writers who despise people like them in their hearts, and will grasp one of these mistakes to make an infinite magnification. In fact, the eunuch's calamity to the country and the people is much smaller than that of Wenchen and Wufu. However, among those who are missing the most important thing in their bodies, there are big contributors. For example, after being castrated, Sima Qian was annotated with "Historical Records", the eunuch Cai Lun invented papermaking, and the eunuch Zheng He went to the West seven times......

It is not out of utilitarianism and awe that Li Wenxuan, who has some sympathy and treats him with courtesy. He knew how to be a man, so he stuffed a silver ticket of one hundred taels into the other party's hand. The eunuch who did not refuse to accept the silver ticket and was ordered to summon Li Wenxuan to enter the palace to face the saint, smiled and said: "Your Majesty is still waiting, let's hurry up and enter the palace!" ”

Li Wenxuan, who didn't say much, didn't have time to say goodbye to his family, so he immediately went with him. Until he entered the palace, he always followed the messenger eunuch forward, without looking around. Li Wenxuan, who didn't tell where he walked clearly, didn't talk much, after all, he knew that he shouldn't ask, don't ask, don't say what he shouldn't say. I don't know how much time has passed, so he came to a large hall and waited.

While waiting, Li Wenxuan, who was standing under the corridor, thought to himself that this should be the place where he saw Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi. What kind of person is he? Will it be like what is recorded in the history books? How should I deal with him? …… Countless questions came to his mind.

The eunuch who led Li Wenxuan was followed by another eunuch who was much older than him, and he went and returned. The big eunuch who did not announce his name looked at Li Wenxuan who was standing in front of him with a good look, his tone was tepid, and he said very plainly and concisely: "You come with me." ”

Behind him was Li Wenxuan, who walked in, first came to a room and asked to strip naked. He did not raise any objections, and according to the meaning of the great eunuch, he took off a fine light. The four little eunuchs in the house carefully inspected the clothes Li Wenxuan was wearing, as well as the places where his body might hide sharp weapons.

Regarding this, Li Wenxuan felt funny, but he couldn't laugh out loud, after all, they were also businesslike, and his ass was not like the brother who could put down a whole table of mahjong in Stephen Chow's "Counting Dead Grass". As for through the mouth, throat, and then to the stomach, it is impossible to put a dagger in it.

After repeated inspections, they didn't find anything wrong, and it was only then that Li Wenxuan was dressed neatly. He did what they wanted, and he had a long experience. In this regard, I did not feel at all undignified and violated human rights. Even if he had, he would have no place to reason. After all, the first time a stranger with no status meets the emperor, he has to go through such a necessary security check procedure.

Li Wenxuan, who was dressed neatly again, should have done their duty. He who followed behind the great eunuch walked out again, and then walked and walked until he reached another place. Li Wenxuan, who smelled a good incense, became more and more nervous, after all, he realized that he would soon be able to meet the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty.

The big eunuch who indicated that Li Wenxuan was waiting outside the door took small steps, and stepped into the door almost without wind and sound. It didn't take long for him to come out again, and it was only then that he brought in Li Wenxuan, who was waiting.

After entering, Li Wenxuan, who had not gone far, stopped according to the hint given to him by the great eunuch, and asked the young man who knelt on the ground on his knees and sat at a certain distance from the front of him to bow three times and bow nine times. He was very reluctant to kneel down and start saluting, after all, he knew that if he didn't follow the rules, not only would his head fall to the ground, but the whole family would also follow him and be killed. Li Wenxuan, who showed respect in his expression, muttered repeatedly in his heart at this time, Lao Tzu worshiped you today, and tomorrow I want your children and grandchildren to kneel back for Lao Tzu.

After Li Wenxuan finished the big salute, the big eunuch standing next to him spoke: "Your Majesty, you want to see that someone has come." ”

Zhu Houxi, who slowly opened his eyes, still maintained his original posture, and said unhurriedly: "You are the Taoist who can pray for rain as Qian Mingzheng, the prefect of Guangxin, said in his book?" ”

Li Wenxuan, who knelt on the ground and didn't get up, looked at him with courage, and instantly felt the other party's temperament of not being angry and arrogant, so he replied very carefully: "Xiaodao is exactly." ”

Zhu Houxi, whose eyes were looking at him slightly, closed his eyes again and said, "What do you think of my cultivation path?" ”

Li Wenxuan, who was not in a hurry to answer, thought to himself, what can he think? I won't say that you don't go to court just to engage in feudal superstition, that doesn't mean that you smash your own job, it's completely equivalent to looking for death. The vest was already sweating, and after thinking for a while, he said in an orderly manner: "Your Majesty is the son of heaven, and cultivation is a respectful courtesy to the heavenly father." ”
