Eunuch Jin swaggered for a while, and when he turned to a secluded corner, he suddenly stopped, turned around and bowed: "Mother Gu sent someone to talk in the morning, and she has already entered the palace in the evening." The matter is so urgent, could it be that the saint has some urgent matters to entrust to the miscellaneous family? β
Gu Erniang replied: "You are also smart. The holy woman has an order to arrange for these two nobles around the slave family to meet your boss Wang Zhonghai. β
Qiu Yizhi didn't expect that this golden eunuch, who could also command the palace guards, turned out to be a nail planted by the Tianzun Sect in the palace, and he was already very surprised, but he saw that the golden eunuch was kneeling on the ground and was silent and embarrassed.
"What? Can't you do it? Gu Erniang asked again.
"No, no, no." Eunuch Jin hurriedly replied, "Although this matter is not difficult, if the miscellaneous family leads a few people over, it will inevitably reveal their identities." If you want the miscellaneous family to lurk in this palace, it is the order of the sect leader, if it ruins the big thing of his old man, the villain will not be able to bear the sin. β
Gu Erniang's face had long since lost the flattering expression that Fang Cai had for the guard surnamed Wang, and she put her hands on her waist and said, "Who wants you to reveal your identity?" It's just for you to be shown the way from afar. When we saw Wang Zhonghai's face, we went wherever you went to drill sand. Isn't that okay either? β
"Okay, okay." Eunuch Jin said continuously, "Mother Gu is a celebrity who can speak well in front of the sect leader, and she really knows the difficulties of our subordinates. This palace is tightly guarded, without further ado, the miscellaneous family will take a few to the prince's bedroom! As he spoke, he led a few people onwards.
Eunuch Jin led everyone through the huge and unfamiliar palace city, I don't know how many bends, I don't know how many roads, finally stopped in front of an extremely deep alley, pointed to a little bean-sized light at the bottom of the alley, and said, "The prince is in that house." But he refused to go any further.
Seeing that the alleyway was dark and long, Qiu Yi hesitated a little, standing in place and constantly calculating how many dangers there were. Gu Erniang on the side was a master of observing words and feelings, and seeing the worry in Qiu Yi's heart, he whispered in his ear: "It's okay, the safety of the son, the slave family can guarantee it with his life." What's more, Yu Chi Daxia is still watching from the wall. Childe can't trust the slave family, can't he still trust your brother? β
Only then did Qiu Yizhi muster up his courage and slowly walked forward along the walls on both sides of the alley.
After walking for a distance, Qiu Yizhi found that this so-called alley was purely a gap between the two palace walls, with neither a mechanism nor an ambush, and not even a single window opened, so he was relieved.
However, he was an extremely active person, and his anxiety had just relaxed, but his curiosity rose again, and he asked, "Mother Gu, the eunuch surnamed Jin is also the eyes and ears of your sect in the palace." Seeing that the Ouchi guards were a little scared when they saw him, they must also be a very important person in the palace, how could they deign to join the noble sect? β
"That's Childe's mistake!" Gu Erniang said with a smile, "It's not that this surnamed Jin's status is higher than that of my Holy Sect that he won him over, but that he took refuge in my Holy Sect and has today's status." β
Qiu Yizhi was a little dizzy by her words, and hurriedly asked, "What does Mother Gu say?" β
Gu Erniang's face was full of a trademark smile: "Since the son is the person that the saint likes, it is nothing for the slave family to talk to the son." I think that back then, the former head of my Holy Sect, Ying Rui, made a decision to buy hundreds of children from poor families from the people, and sent them all to the palace to be eunuchs. Some of these children didn't survive when they were clean, some made mistakes and were beaten to death by the palace people, and some could only be stupid eunuchs pouring tea and delivering water for the rest of their lives. Only this surnamed Jin has a good brain and can do things, and my Holy Sect gave him countless gold and silver to bribe him, so that he can get mixed up with this errand in charge of the imperial city guards. Childe, you say, did this surnamed Jin have today's status thanks to the Holy Sect Hongfu? β
Qiu Yizhi listened, didn't answer, and said: "This Jin Gonggong is also a capable person, I thought that entering the palace was a difficult thing, but I didn't expect him to say a word, and I easily mixed in." β
"It's not just our Nuanxiang Pavilion that does this business. A few green buildings in the neighborhood, how many people have made a fortune from this? What happened to this sentence surnamed Kim? There are those who can speak. Gu Erniang said very disdainfully, "Don't look at him, Gongzi, who claims to be in charge of the palace guards, I heard that the emperor doesn't take care of things much now, and it is his turn to pretend to be a big-tailed eagle?" There's a fart! β
The current emperor doesn't care about political affairs, Qiu Yizhi has heard about it a long time ago, but he didn't expect that even the palace would be made into such a miasma, so he asked again: "Then I don't know anything about it?" Didn't you say that the eunuch would cut off his children and grandchildren after he was cleansed? Do you need to recruit prostitutes? β
When Gu Erniang heard this, she immediately stood in place, holding her stomach and finally holding back her laughter: "It's not to blame Gongzi." Of course, those who don't know the inside story think so. But in the eyes of the slave family, the more things in the world can't be obtained, the more they think about it. As for the eunuch in this kind of thing, in the eyes of the slave family, he is more anxious than ordinary men! β
He'er, who changed into a bewitching costume and always walked silently behind the two with her head down, finally couldn't help it, and scolded softly: "Mother Gu, don't say a few words, don't be ashamed!" β
Gu Erniang was about to retort, but saw Qiu Yizhi put her fingers on her lips and made a "silence" gesture, and Gu Erniang finally stopped talking when she saw it.
It turned out that these people said as they walked that the house with the lights was only a hundred steps away, and the person in the room was Wang Zhonghai, the great eunuch who had taken a huge risk to see and understand.
It is not an indisputable fact that Wang Zhonghai said that he was infamous, or that he was like thunder, but it is an indisputable fact that he leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he could influence the government and politics between his hands. When Qiu Yizhi thought of this, he actually felt a huge coercion from that small room, this feeling was something he had never felt when he faced Zheng Rong, the king of Youyan, Dali Khan, the king of Zhongshun, Yang Yuanzhi, the old prime minister, and Zheng Chang, the eldest son of the emperor, intertwined with all kinds of complex feelings such as excitement, nervousness, curiosity, and fear, which made him a little breathless.
But after all, Qiu Yizhi has followed his father-in-law north and south since he was a child, and he is used to seeing the world, so he secretly closed his eyes and settled down, tiptoed to the door, and saw that the door was hidden, but he didn't dare to push the door directly, so he only raised his hand and knocked a few times very carefully.
The person inside the door reacted quickly, and when he heard the knock on the door, he asked, "Who?" What time has it been? Still looking for miscellaneous families? β
Qiu Yizhi listened carefully, and listened to this voice was extremely old, and his tone was full of exhaustion, which did not have the slightest agreement with the jackal-like and eagle-like sharp voices of the traitorous ministers he had read in the history books and thought of in his heart.
Qiu Yizhi finally did not answer, but tried to muster up courage before slowly pushing the door open.
But I saw that the great eunuch Wang Zhonghai was in a room that could not be more simpleβthe area was only one zhang square, a brick kang was built on the wall, and a mattress was laid on the kang, and a thin quilt folded neatly rested on the mattress with an inconspicuous pillow. In front of the kang was an old desk, on which two half-burned candles were lit, and a foot-high piece of music was piled up next to the candles, and it was Wang Zhonghai who made the people in the capital Luoyang frightened when he flipped through these movements.
When Wang Zhonghai saw that the person who came did not answer, and dared to push the door in without his permission, he put down the music in his hand and rubbed his eyes with his dry hands, carefully distinguishing which bold thief dared to disturb his own affairs of the state.
A man and two women who came into the house, both wearing strange costumes that were not eunuchs and palace maids, Wang Zhonghai immediately became angry when he saw this: "In the middle of the night, what kind of demons are you doing?" What kind of clothes are you wearing? Which eunuch is under it, and he hasn't recruited him from the truth, so he went back and stripped your skin! β
Qiu Yizhi's expression when he heard him speak was no different from the conservative and old-fashioned old man in the ordinary village, and his hanging heart was slowly put down, and he said calmly: "The prince is mistaken, I am not a eunuch and a palace maid, but a ......."
"Humph! It's a child prostitute! Wang Zhonghai hurriedly interrupted Qiu Yizhi's words, and scolded casually, "Those pickled coffins, the miscellaneous family has been busy with official business these days, and they have no time to take care of them, so they regard politeness as a blessing." Look at the miscellaneous family and how to clean them up! β
Qiu Yizhi saw that Wang Zhonghai's scorched face was also covered with anger, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, it's not worth it if you move the liver fire!" β
Wang Zhonghai heard Qiu Yizhi say this, and hurriedly looked him up and down carefully a few times, but only asked: "You kid also know who I am?" β
"Of course I do. In this palace, the one who can deal with those eunuch husbands, except for the current saint, is the great eunuch Wang Zhonghai, the princess! Qiu Yizhi's tone was a little sarcastic.
Wang Zhonghai was very helpful when he heard it, and said: "Yo, I didn't expect that this kid of yours not only speaks well, but also has a lot of courage!" The miscellaneous family also likes it a little. So let's do this, the miscellaneous family will order the pure house to purify your body, and don't go to worship any masters, just follow the miscellaneous family to ensure that you will have a chance within three years! What do you think? β
Qiu Yizhi heard that he originally wanted to entrap himself as a eunuch, and he was crying and laughing.
He'er on the side was already smiling and leaning back and said, "Why can't your old husband understand people's words?" This Qiu Gongzi is neither a eunuch nor a ......" Halfway through her words, she knew that she had inadvertently broken the sky, and hurriedly covered her mouth and swallowed the second half of the sentence into her stomach.
Wang Zhonghai had already heard the mystery, and laughed a few times: "Qiu Gongzi, Qiu Gongzi, what an autumn boy!" How many people did the miscellaneous family send to invite you, but you didn't come, but you came to see me at night...... But he is also a troublemaker and a bold master! β
Qiu Yizhi saw that his identity was broken, and glared at He'er with twelve points of anger on his face, staring her three inches shorter. changed his relaxed expression again, and said to Wang Zhonghai: "I have admired the name of the prince for a long time, and I have long wanted to come to see the true face. However, there is a strange problem below: if someone comes to invite politely, he will definitely not refuse; But if he is strong, then he can't be called wishful! β
The corners of Wang Zhonghai's mouth sank when he heard this, and then he smiled and said: "Young Master Qiu is a young hero, naturally he is a bloody man, yesterday's incident is indeed ill-considered, and I ask Gongzi to forgive him!" As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to Qiu Yizhi.
Only then did Qiu Yizhi see that this Wang Zhonghai was not short, half a head taller than himself, but his back was bent, and the skin on his body was tightly attached to a thin and thin body, looking lifeless, as if he had only one more breath than a dead man.
When Qiu Yi saw this, a little pity rose in his heart, held his hands, and said, "Why does the prince need to be like this? I'm waiting for uninvited, and there are offends! β
Wang Zhonghai also held Qiu Yizhi's hands, as if he wanted to carefully feel the temperature of his young body, and let go for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Jiuwen Qiu Gongzi is the righteous son of Prince Youyan under the moth, and it is really like the style of the prince when he was young, and he is also the same resolute and stubborn, the same unexpected, and the same corporal Lixian......"
Qiu Yizhi heard that Wang Zhonghai compared himself with his father-in-law back then, and said humbly in a panicked tone: "My father-in-law said this, how can I afford it?" After a pause, he said, "I'm just an ignorant yellow-mouthed kid, and I want to ask my father-in-law about a few things tonight!" β
"Hey, hey, hey. The miscellaneous family is also an old slave who serves people, and he is not satisfied with a basket of big characters, where can he dare to give advice? Wang Zhonghai saw that Qiu Yizhi and the other two women were still standing, so he smiled and invited a few of them to sit on the kang, and said, "The son suddenly came, so that the miscellaneous family had no preparation at all, let alone tea, and even a cup of hot water was nowhere to be found!" β
