Chapter 28: The Wolf Meets the Devil

"Messy things, if you don't look at you for a while, you'll be lazy!" A eunuch on duty came out, Xu Boyi looked at it, and hurriedly saluted: "Master! ”

Every eunuch who enters the palace must be accompanied by a master, and the rules in the palace are big, and it is difficult to understand so many rules without a master. Usually a master has to bring more than a dozen apprentices, among them, the master will pick those who are clear-eyed, articulate, and young to be accepted as godsons, and do their best to cultivate, once the godson has a future, he will also come out.

As for the uningratitude, there is basically no need to think about it, I don't know if it is because the eunuch has cut off the roots of his descendants and pays more attention to this kind of family affection than ordinary people, or because of the rules that have been passed down in the palace, "deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors" will cause everyone to be disgusted.

But all the little eunuchs who come out, whether they are sincere or false, must be filial to their godfather, not only filial piety during their lifetime, but also have a grand funeral when they die, and when they are dead and Qingming, they must also prepare some incense and candles to pay tribute. Because everyone insisted on doing so, they were guaranteed to benefit themselves, and no godson dared to violate this moral and ethical concept.

Xu Boyi is in his thirties, and his master is only in his early thirties, so it is certainly more suitable to take a young person to cultivate feelings from an early age than to find a godson of the same age, so Xu Boyi has always been unpopular in front of him.

"Master, no, the apprentice is just ......"

"Dare to slam your mouth!"

The master sneered: "Kneel down for me, slap my mouth."

Xu Boyi gritted his teeth, so he had to kneel in front of him and slap his mouth.

The master looked at him: "If you have weak energy, what's the matter, I don't care if you eat?" Give me a hard time! ”

Xu Boyi turned his heart sideways, increased his strength, and slapped himself hard.

"People can have no eggs, they can't be without ambition! As husbands, we have to be quick to see and get out of the way. In order to have a chance, I want to ...... at the beginning"

The master was about to repeat the glorious history of how he was well-behaved and sensible in the beginning, and how he was accepted as a godson when he had said it countless times, when a faint voice suddenly said next to him: "You are so majestic, I don't know that I think you are in charge of this palace!" ”

The master was furious, raised his eyebrows, and was just about to see who had challenged his authority, when he raised his eyes and was suddenly startled. Although his ministry is not high, he has really seen this person in front of him a few times and recognizes his identity.

The person in front of him is dressed in a green shirt, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a face like a crown of jade, and he is the uncle of the Three Kingdoms and the most favored younger brother of the Queen Mother. As soon as his knees weakened, the master immediately knelt down and said humbly, "Ouch! Uncle Guo. The slave and maid are here to teach their disciples, but I didn't think it would disturb your old man, the slave and maid are guilty, guilty! ”

Li Xuancheng saw him slapping himself like a fly. Disgusted, he said: "Get out! It's annoying to see it! ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

The master was relieved, quickly got up with a smile, and ran away with a nod all the way.

When Xu Boyi saw Uncle Li, he was already frightened. hurriedly lowered his head, and when he saw the master fleeing, he also stood up with his head down. Wanting to escape, Li Xuancheng said: "Slow! ”

Xu Boyi was shocked, hurriedly stopped, lowered his head and said, "I don't know what Uncle Guo else commands?" ”

Li Xuancheng took out a snow-white handkerchief from his sleeve, handed it over, and said gently: "Wipe it!" ”

Xu Boyi slapped himself hard, blood was already oozing from the corners of his mouth, he hung his head and took the handkerchief, thanked Li Xuancheng, and gently wiped the swollen corners of his mouth.

Li Xuancheng looked at his cautious appearance, and couldn't help but feel a touch of pity in his heart.

In fact, Li Xuancheng's identity is precious, how can he care about the life or death of a eunuch. However, when he went to Huxian, after he came back, he suffered from a strange disease, the lower body was extremely itchy, tormenting him so that he couldn't sleep at night, and he couldn't live anymore.

Later, the place where his lower body was scratched in the itch began to fester, and at this time, Uncle Li Guo didn't dare to look for anyone to look at it, so he only used some drugs that could relieve the itching to apply it himself, and made it look like he had healed.

However, in about a year or so, his lower body has completely rotted, and now he is cleaner than the eunuch below, and his "illness" has been cured, and the cure is actually the legendary method used to satirize quack doctors, "headache is true, foot pain is cut off feet".

Although he is still a high-ranking uncle of the country, in his bones, he is already a eunuch he despised before, and his mentality has changed a little. Seeing this low-level eunuch being deceived like this today, Li Xuancheng actually had mercy and came forward to relieve the siege.

Xu Boyi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, didn't dare to raise his head, only waved to Li Xuanchang, and said respectfully: "Thank you Uncle Guo, the slave will step down!" ”

"Huh? Hold it! ”

Seeing that Xu Boyi repeatedly dodged and refused to face him with a straight face, Li Xuancheng finally became suspicious in his heart, and immediately called him, and gently picked up Xu Boyi's jaw, which was so smooth that there was not a single hair, with the bamboo bone fan in his hand.

"Is that you?"

Li Xuancheng, who had been received by Xu Boyi in Huxian County, recognized him, Xu Boyi was terrified, and knelt on the ground with a "porphy" and begged: "Uncle Guo spare his life!" Uncle Guo spares his life! Bo Yi has now become a wasted person, the former son, the former official, now so miserable, just to prolong his life, the uncle of the country is gracious......"

Xu Boyi was frightened, he didn't know that it was Li Xuancheng who deliberately transferred the guards and created an opportunity for him to escape, so as to connive at him to assassinate Ye Xiaotian, he only knew that since Uncle Guo recognized him, he also knew that he was a criminal minister, and he was prostrating and begging.

Li Xuancheng was also shocked to see that this former Huxian county prince was now a eunuch in the palace, he really couldn't think of what bizarre situation this Xu Xiancheng had encountered to appear here, and he became a eunuch.

However, he knew how much Xu Boyi hated Ye Xiaotian. And now that Ye Xiaotian is going to enter Beijing and face the king, some quite high-level officials already know about it, and in the noble class, more people know about it.

Because their official positions are also hereditary, the inheritors of the golden rice bowl like them have not seen much more than one family for decades or hundreds of years, and they certainly want to know more about a legendary figure like Ye Xiaotian.

Since Li Xuancheng became a eunuch, he completely gave up the idea of possessing Yingying. But this kind of despair is only due to the change in physiology, and psychologically, his paranoid desire for possession has not decreased slightly, but has become more crazy, because of the festival between him and Ye Xiaotian, this paranoia has become especially strong.

But now Ye Xiaotian is getting better and better, and he is about to become a toast, which is even more exciting than his life as an uncle of the country, and it can be expected that when he becomes the toast of the powerful side. That is to say, he and Yingying Qinse are in harmony, like a fish in water, what kind of mood Li Xuancheng is can imagine.

It was originally the Queen Mother who called him into the palace to talk, Li Xuancheng was really not interested, so he dealt with it hastily, and then said goodbye, and now when he saw Xu Boyi, the hatred in Li Xuancheng's heart suddenly became stronger, seeing Xu Boyi kowtowing like pounding garlic, Li Xuancheng looked at him directly. Suddenly blurted out, "Do you hate Ye Xiaotian very much?" ”

Xu Boyi was stunned, put his hands on the ground, and looked up at him in amazement.

Li Xuancheng's sharp eyes stared at him and continued, "Do you know. That Ye Xiaotian met by fate, and he was actually loved by Wutong from a liuguan, and he was about to be enshrined as a toast by the Son of Heaven. From now on, the wealth will always be enjoyed, and the fortune will be rich, even more than that of my uncle! ”

A look of incomparable jealousy flashed in Xu Boyi's eyes. He paused, "Slave maid...... Know! ”

Li Xuancheng smiled slightly and said: "If the eunuch wants to have a little success, he has to wait for the master from a young age, and when the master is happy, he will have the opportunity to be recommended to study in the inner study hall." The celebrant is the most noble yamen among all the eunuch yamen, known as 'the prime minister without the name of the prime minister but the fact of the prime minister', and almost all the people who are the celebrant eunuchs come from the inner study.

I don't want to know how you went from being a fugitive convict to a eunuch. I only know that you are full of poetry and books, and you are no worse than the people who came out of the study, most of these low-level eunuchs are illiterate, and you are really bad mixed in among them. ”

Xu Boyi is not an idiot, obedient and obedient, he has already heard something from Uncle Li's words, and then thinks of the sentence asked before, "Do you hate Ye Xiaotian very much", Xu Boyi was blessed to the heart, knocked his head heavily on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Please also ask Uncle Guo to fulfill it, slave maid...... I am willing to die for my uncle and have no regrets! ”

Li Xuancheng smiled slightly and said, "Ye Xiaotian, I don't like it!" You help me design him, I recommend you to the celebrant eunuch, although you can only be a little eunuch who serves tea and water, but you have the opportunity to contact all the great eunuchs in the celebrant eunuch, how much you have to do next, it depends on your own luck, what do you think? ”

When Xu Boyi heard the surprise, even if he didn't give him any benefits, he was willing to do everything he could to kill Ye Xiaotian, not to mention that Li Xuancheng painted such a big cake for him again, Xu Boyi was so happy that he kowtowed again and again, and his forehead was already bruised on the blue brick floor, and he didn't realize it.

……

The news of Ye Xiaotian's return to Beijing has spread in the upper echelons, but Ye Xiaotian's family still knows nothing about it. Ye Xiaotian, who came all the way to the house, wanted to surprise his family, so he didn't send someone to tell his family the news of his return to his hometown.

However, through the previous correspondence, the Ye family already knew about their son's official position in Guizhou, which was a major event for Lao Ye to glorify his ancestors, and the neighbors and even the old colleagues in the prison had all heard him talk about it.

The people at the feet of the Son of Heaven will have a natural sense of superiority in the psychology of people from other places, especially in a place as far away as Guizhou, which is a border wasteland in their minds, and the people don't pay much attention to it, even if they hear that the Ye family's junior second is an official, it will not shock them much.

However, the old colleagues in the prison still know that no matter where they are officials, officials are officials, and they will always live more comfortably than the common people, especially the magistrates, the farther away from the capital, the more leisurely they live, so they all strongly persuaded Lao Ye to go to his son and enjoy his old age in peace.

After listening to it for a long time, Lao Ye was also a little moved, and talked about this plan with his wife on this day, but he didn't know that at this time, the second son had already stepped on the heavy snow and returned to Beijing!

: At the end of the month, I sincerely ask for a monthly pass and a recommended ticket!

Guanguan's Weixin: yueguanwlj, please pay more attention to you!.
