The gorgeous palaces in the imperial city have been placed on many fantasies and expectations by the common people, and even if the people of China retain a little bit of small peasant cunning, they have always maintained their good wishes for thousands of years: the emperor is good, if there is a mistake, it is all a traitor.

They always think that the Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, and the whole world is not the king's land, who wants their fields to be watered? The emperor never wanted his country to go bad. Maybe they don't want to believe that the emperor also has bad intentions, because it is the collapse of the whole rule, which means that the hard and peaceful days will be gone forever.

Therefore, the lower the people, as long as they can survive, they are more willing to scold the traitors.

But Emperor Jing stood in the palace, looking at the sky outside the palace, but he had endless nostalgia.

Isn't this gorgeous palace a huge cage? Tie his body and mind here.

Wealth is just something that the minister wants him to believe, in fact, what he really has is only this imperial city, and he can't even control it outside the imperial city, and it must be governed by the Shuntian Mansion, not to mention the political envoys of Nanzhili and Thirteen Chengxuan. No, in fact, even this imperial city has to be taken care of by all kinds of eunuchs and eunuchs, and what really belongs to him is the dragon chair.

This is his cage and all that he has.

He suddenly remembered the days when Xuanzong lived outside the palace with his mother, although he had no name and no share, but he lived happily and unrestrained. The food was always steaming, the table was always fresh, and no one expected him to sit in this chair, and no one expected him to be productive.

So Ding Yi's words came to his mind.

Ding Rujin said that eating such a meal was very uncomfortable, and he couldn't eat it at all.

This is the only person who has dared to tell him the truth to his face since he sat in this chair.

didn't talk to him about the hardships of the people like Yu Qian, nor did he talk about the hardships of the people like those ministers. It doesn't matter if they eat pig food, it's not a meal, it's a privilege, and if anyone pays attention to those gorgeous dishes, whether they taste good or not, they will probably be considered crazy, right?

Only Ding Rujin, perhaps, Emperor Jing feels that he has a lifetime. There will be no second person who tells himself so seriously: the emperor who eats such a meal every day is so pitiful.

"No, don't fight Ding Rujin's idea." Emperor Jing, who was leaning on the railing, slapped the railing hard and said to Xing'an, who was waiting behind him. "There is no need to do good work, and it can't cover up the infamy of future generations. Even if you take all the charges on you, it's useless. deceived the world. After all, you can't deceive the people of the world. ”

Xing'an didn't dare to speak, just knelt down and kowtowed, this is not a topic he can speak, he can say three words without need, but how to do it, that is Emperor Jing's will. It was not his turn to intervene, and it was precisely because of the clear distinction that he was able to accompany the emperor for a long time.

"Hahaha!" Emperor Jing laughed again, laughing so much that tears came out. He kicked Xing'an over with one kick and laughed, "If you do too much play, you can't get out, and even you believe it." Saying that, he kicked Xing'an, motioned for him to come over, and was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Fang Cai's words are deceitful." ”

Emperor Jing looked at Xing'an who lowered his head, and didn't know why he felt a little disgusted in his heart, he thought of Ding Rujin, who laughed when he wanted to laugh and say what he wanted, but it was extremely true, "Don't beat his idea, in this world, there are not many real people, and there are not many living people, if I move my heart to kill Ding Rujin in the future, you remember to repeat today's sentence to me." ”

"Yes, the old slave remembered, 'There are not many real people in this world, and there are not many living people.' , if grandpa wants to kill Ding Rujin in the future, he will tell grandpa what he says. Xing'an responded in a proper manner, and repeated this sentence once, being extra careful, he didn't want to make any mistakes, and many eunuchs were red at his current position.

Emperor Jing turned around again and looked at the blue sky outside the imperial city.

He thinks that he understands a little bit why Ding Yi became Yingzong's friend, and he feels that Ding Yi is a real person, not a real person like Taoism, but a real person, a living person. Instead of saying something insincere like those ministers, trying to make the emperor believe something they didn't believe in at all.

In any case, without Ding Yi's knowledge, he escaped because of his honest expression at the dinner table.

But also when Ding Yizhu didn't know it, and connected Jingzong also thought that this page had been revealed. Xing'an, who was on duty, said to several of his henchmen: "If you miss, no one will stand up for it." I can only take care of everything by myself. He paused and said to those henchmen, "Grandpa is a holy monarch, and some dark and ugly people and things are to share the worries of the Lord with you and me." One million taels of silver, do you do this well, do you hear? ”

"Yes! The small ones were written down. The eunuchs answered.

Xing'an is not a simple character, although he followed Emperor Jing, but after Yingzong came to power and Emperor Jing entered the palace, he also began to have power. Emperor Jing, who was still the king of Yu at the time of the Tumubao incident, asked him to ask the minister what to do? The Warat people are going to fight the Jingshi! Xu Hui, the guy who figured out his intentions, proposed to move south at that time. How did Hung Yen do it? History contains: "An Qizhi, let Fu Huo out".

There are some things in the world that are not hidden, such as the intrigue between the courts, the ups and downs of the sea, the small people can really only guess, and it is impossible for any dynasty to announce these things to the world, a minister has fallen from power, and often the reason for his fall is just an excuse, and the root cause of his resignation is another fact, hidden from the people below, because they don't have to let them know about it, and if they don't hide it, it's because the people above have to know the truth, otherwise things can't be done;

There are also things that are concealed from the upper and lower levels, and the people above may not necessarily agree to do it, so they hide it, but the people below do not know, and this thing cannot be done at all. For example, if you don't even know about the people below, what should you do? Did the eunuch of Xing'an run out to find the killer by himself or do it himself?

So, Wynne soon learned about it, of course, at first, he didn't know that Xing'an was going to kill someone.

The problem is that Xing'an doesn't collect much money, and he is no better than Jin Ying to collect money, so the eunuchs of the Xing'an family in the palace are starting to collect money.

Just as Yu Qian is incorruptible to adults, it does not mean that the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty is as clear as water.

Huaien was in the palace at this time, and he belonged to Jin Ying's line.

I don't know if this is the case in history, or if it has changed because of the arrival of Ding Yi.

Jin Ying is an old eunuch, he was very favored during the Xuande Dynasty, he only stood aside after Wang Zhen came up, and Jingtai ascended the throne, and he came alive again. However, Jin Ying still takes care of Huai En, this is not the credit of Ding, but Huai En's own ability in the palace, if Huai En has to rely on Ding Yi to take care of him all the way, he will not be able to climb out in history.

"Don't lend money to certain people." This is Jin Ying's words, of course, Huai En is still many levels away from Jin Ying, this is also the words handed down by the eunuch in the middle, "Don't be greedy for that little breath, once this thing is done badly, it will be a matter of falling to the ground." ”

Almost on the day that the news was received, a eunuch from Xing'an's family came to Huai'en to borrow money.

There are very few eunuchs who don't love money, Xing'an wants them to make up a million taels, and no one plans to pay it all by themselves - how much black money is collected on weekdays? This task was assigned layer by layer. And the little eunuchs below are not as clear as the big guys above, and those who can usually talk also have a lot of contacts, and they are forced by the above, so they only look for people to borrow money.

"What the hell is going to do? Who's going to do the work? Huaien curiously asked the colleague who came to borrow money, he didn't realize it, he was inquiring about something, but none of the people who could come to the trouble were Ansheng's goods, and he always wanted to get some news, "If you don't say that our family will definitely not be able to borrow you, the top will all open their mouths, saying that whoever is greedy for the little interest you promise, and when they find out, they will all go to the Huanyi Bureau." ”

The little eunuch was forced by him to be helpless, because his savings could not cope with the amount he wanted, so he had to ask Wynne, "I told you, will you lend it to me?" It's not that I can't trust you, it's you and me, what can I know? It's just that I heard that the top is going to do a thing, and I can't tell where the head is going, in short, this thing needs a sum of money, and I don't know the rest. Do you borrow or not. ”

"Don't borrow it, I have three taels or seven dollars, you can take it, just say that it is a gambling debt owed to you last month, and you don't have to pay it back."

As soon as his colleague left, Wynne felt that something was wrong.

Eunuchs want to do things, not without spending money. For example, stuffing money to the boss above, changing to a better position as a steward, etc.

The problem is that the top has to do things, and the top can't tell where to go, these days, almost all the people he knows in Xing'an are making money, which is a big problem, if it's really Xing'an to spend money to do, it's right, Xing'an doesn't charge black money, it's very famous.

So, what could it be? If the celebrant and eunuch want to do something, they have to spend money to find someone to do it? This doesn't make sense, only those who send money to the celebrant eunuch, how can the celebrant and eunuch send money out?

In fact, if Xing'an knew that things were done like this, then the following eunuchs might not be able to end well.

But Xing'an is Emperor Jing's loyal dog, or the royal loyal dog, he thinks that this matter has to help Emperor Jing go to a heart disease, so he wants to do it, and he doesn't have so much money, can he give birth to silver? After cutting, you can practice magic skills, and thousands of years later, there are martial arts novels that mention this; After cutting, you can dig out the silver, which is something I have never heard of. Therefore, he can't let the people of the factory guard make a move, once he loses, it will make Emperor Jing uncomfortable. If he finds someone outside, he naturally has to ask for silver, so he has to ask for someone below.

The more Huaien thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the people who could make Xing'an spend money to do it were none other than those few.

He pondered, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, he had to inquire about this matter to feel at ease.

This inquiry led to a problem. (To be continued......)
