Chapter 30 - Saving the Eunuch Against His Will

"Doctor! How is Big Brother's injury? In the wailing of Fuquan and the cry of Concubine Dong E, the Queen Mother anxiously asked the envoy of the Imperial Hospital.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the eldest son of the emperor was injured in his left eye by broken porcelain, but fortunately his eyes were not deep...... "The envoy of the Tai Hospital struggled out of a group of busy imperial doctors, knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager and the emperor, and answered carefully.

"Eyes may be saved?" Fu Lin suddenly stood up from his seat and asked loudly.

"Back to the emperor, look now, the eyes are ...... The eyes can be saved, that is, ......" The hospital made his heart weak, and his mouth was knotted.

"How? Say it! The Queen Mother asked.

"I'm afraid that there will be some symptoms, and the left eye of the eldest brother may be ...... Blindness! ”

"My poor son! ......" The anxious concubine Dong Eshi on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and with a long breath, she fainted in the arms of the maid......

The Empress Dowager glanced at Dong E's with some reproach, and instructed some other imperial doctors in the outer circle to quickly wake her up, and then turned around again, and found that the emperor's expression was very complicated, but he couldn't bear it, and he understood that this matter needed to be handled carefully.

"The eldest grandson of the mourning family, your Tai Hospital, must come up with a way, you must save Fuquan's left eye, you must not lose your eyes!" The Queen Mother said resolutely to all the imperial doctors.

"As for whether you will be blind after recovering from your injuries, as long as you do your best, the mourning family and the emperor will definitely not blame you, you know?" The Queen Mother knows that some things are useless now, and the key is that those things that can be taken advantage of are the things that matter!

"The ministers know!" A group of imperial doctors hurriedly received the order, and then they dispersed, examined injuries, debridement, dressing, consultation, and prescribed prescriptions...... It's noisy, but it's also busy.

Fu Lin ordered the concubine Dong E to be sent to the inner room to rest, and he walked to Fu Quan's side, asking this and that with concern, only to find out after a while that he was here, and the imperial doctors couldn't do it, so they had to walk back to the queen mother stupidly.

"Emperor, a group of minions have stabbed out a huge basket, and they must be severely punished!" The queen mother didn't look at Fulin, but stared at the group of eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard who were tied up and kneeling in the courtyard, and said viciously.

"What the emperor said is true! The eunuch of the first assistant eunuch in the east was immediately killed with a cane, and the attendants of the palace each had forty rods, and the two eunuchs and the eunuchs of the two assistants had twenty rods! Fu Lin nodded, and then announced the punishment decision, but avoided the chief eunuch Wu Liangfu.

"Wait! These slaves should be punished, but the culprit, the emperor still has to punish severely! The Empress Dowager will not let go of this opportunity easily, after all, Liang Gong's testimony directly pointed to Wu Liangfu, and although Wu Liangfu tried all kinds of quibbles, he could not escape the blame!

"This ...... Huang Eniang, although Wu Liangfu was negligent, it was also an unintentional fault after all...... Besides, Fu Quan took the lead ...... "Fu Lin considered the response word by word, and sweat drops actually oozed from his head! At this time, he clearly understood in his heart that the matter was by no means as simple as punishing a Wu Liangfu!

First of all, Wu Liangfu treated himself as a father and brother when he was a child. At that time, he had only succeeded to the throne for a year, his father was the first to die, and his mother was trapped in Dolgon, so he had no chance to care for himself, only Wu Liangfu accompanied him all day and night, carefully served the diet and daily life, patiently explained the customs of the Han people, vividly described the anecdotes of the previous dynasty, and even his "first taste of personnel" was arranged by him for the palace maid who had long forgotten her appearance......

Moreover, as an important part of his own dictatorship, it is to follow Wu Liangfu's advice, imitating the old system of the Ming Dynasty to set up the Inner Thirteen Yamen, for more than two years, the minions and coats around him have become more and more obedient to themselves, at least they no longer dare to be false and wrong, this great achievement, after all, is to be placed on Wu Liangfu's body!

Third, Wu Liangfu is loyal to the master, inside and outside the palace, he will only obey himself, which will inevitably offend the queen mother of Cining Palace, with this minion, the emperor's fire will not come directly at him, as a shield, Wu Liangfu is very competent.

Fourth, the scheming former eunuch is very scheming, and many of the important things that he can't do are arranged with his hands, and there is one thing at the moment, that is, the younger brother and sister who he has been thinking about for a long time, Fujin Dong E's family!

Also, today's incident, on the surface, it seems that the two little princes provoked the incident, but whether there is a plan behind the Cining Palace in the west is still a question! After all, Xuan Ye, who has just turned one year old, is not so naïve as he looks, maybe there is something behind him that he has learned privately and scheming, and hastily punished Wu Liangfu, maybe he will regret it in the future!

Seeing that the emperor was pondering and the queen mother was ready to go, Hongyi decided to make a decisive move immediately, otherwise, it would be difficult for the two sides to ride the tiger and go-for-tat, and their plans would be in vain!

"Huang Ma Ma! Huang Ma Ma! Will Big Brother die? Whining...... Can't let him die! My grandson wants to play with my big brother! Woo woo...... "Hongyi knelt down and threw himself in front of the queen mother's knee, rubbing his eyes with a pair of dusty little hands, shedding two lines of muddy tears, and crying. This aggrieved, frightened, and pitiful expression made the surrounding concubines shed tears, and even made the queen mother, who didn't want to reprimand Xuan Ye, soften her heart suddenly, and she couldn't care about the determination on her face just now, she reached out to pick up this little dot, and said: "Xuan Ye is not afraid, Ah Hun will not die, he just shed a little blood, it's okay, don't cry...... It was the old gelding who hurt my eldest brother angrily and scared my little grandson...... Come on, Huang Ma Ma hug ......"

Peeking at the more solemn worry and irritability on the emperor's face, Hongyi did not climb up to the empress dowager's knees, but suddenly used his fat head to knock twice on the floor tiles, and then said while crying:

"Huang Mama, grandson...... The grandson is wrong! Whining...... It's all because the grandson is not good, he shouldn't be strong with the big brother! You shouldn't be competing with a minion, woo...... Although the eldest brother is not heavy, he is also talented and brave, and he hit the key point of Manager Wu at once, although he has not resisted, but he is also in a hurry, and he rolls in pain, wooing...... That's ...... Woo, I accidentally bumped into the eldest brother, when the eldest brother fell, the grandson also had to be supported, but it turned out that I ran into those porcelain plates and porcelain bowls together, I was supposed to fall first, the eldest brother in order to save his grandson, but he threw himself down and bled out! Whining...... Whining...... Huang Mama, you should punish your grandson first, your grandson is wrong! Woo woo ......" with the original Chu Chu pitiful, but now it has a label of "dare to act and do not shirk", this time, the queen mother will be really difficult to make a conclusion for a while, and she is speechless for the time being.

Fu Lin on the side heard the key to it, Wu Liangfu's vital point was "seriously injured", what is the vital point? The point of a eunuch is self-evident! The eldest brother sacrificed himself to save his younger brother, and the little prince told the truth! Okay, Xiao Xuanye, you did a good job!

"Huang Eniang, in this way, this Wu Liangfu is also injured and has a reason. The key is that although Fuquan has trauma, after all, his life is worry-free, and at a young age, he actually knows that protecting Xuanye is really a royal blessing. Someone came, Wu Liangfu has no imperial authority, and he hurts the young master without permission, and the crime is unforgivable! However, thinking that there was a reason for his affairs, he was loyal to the master, and he was old, so he was removed from the post of eunuch in charge of the thirteen yamen, demoted to the eunuch of the assistant leader, and fined twenty rods! Fu Lin made a decisive move, made a conclusion before the queen mother's objection, and hurriedly issued a will.

Wu Liangfu, who was originally in the yard as a soft ball, cried bitterly at this time! When he was dragged out of the hospital by the executing eunuch, he was still shouting loudly: "The slave Xie Empress Dowager and the master don't kill you!" Thank you for your kindness! Thanksgiving, minion...... Shane ......"

Poor Liang Gong, the eunuch of the East Second Institute, was also beaten for no reason, but when he saw that Wu Liangfu's fat ass next to him was also quickly oozing blood and staining his pants [1], although according to the system, he had to shout, "The slave is wrong!" The master spares his life" and other prescribed rhetoric [2], or forced himself to laugh a few times - our master is powerful, and then let you fly high, don't you suffer this stubble like me now? But the second master of Weishenme has to save the life of this old minion? Alas, my lord's thoughts, slaves, I really can't think through them......

Listening to the ghost crying wolf of the palace maid and eunuch not far away, and then looking at Xiao Xuanye who was crying non-stop in her arms, the queen mother finally let go of the idea of killing them all, after all, Xiao Xuanye did the right thing, and insisted on competing with the emperor on a minion, which was indeed more than worth the loss. From this point of view, the second son of the emperor still thinks long-term......

Fu Lin looked at Fu Quan, who was wrapped in bandages and gradually falling asleep, and then looked at Xuan Ye, who was crying incessantly and frightened like a bird, shook his head helplessly, and just sat silently......

Queen Borzigit also couldn't bear to see the eldest son of the emperor so petite and suffered such a big blow, and the sadness was overflowing, but she often glanced at the emperor, and thought in her heart: If the emperor could have a prince with the palace, how good would it be, but unfortunately the wedding has not broken so far, which is not to be found......

The concubine Dong E, who had woken up, had a face like ashes, her heart was like a knife, and all her previous efforts seemed to be turning into phantoms in an instant! Poor son, poor self......

Concubine Kang sat on the kang beside Concubine Dong E's family, accompanied by tears, and counted her son's formlessness in a low voice, but she was looking forward to Xiao Xuanye's future in her heart: the eldest brother was injured, although his life was worry-free, but the imperial doctor said "one eye is damaged", if it is true, which dynasty and which generation will not choose the prince of the emperor, but choose a disabled person to be the emperor [3]......

Only Concubine Jing had a calm face, indifferent to everything in front of her, occasionally looked at Dong E, and the corners of her mouth gently raised the same mockery: Hmph, when you were playing right and wrong, I just went with the flow and made peace, which can be regarded as a wake-up call for you. Now, if the eldest son of the emperor is really disabled, you will die as soon as possible......

Hongyi cried intermittently, while looking at poor Fuquan who had fallen asleep, and his heart was full of guilt: Alas, the historical process is really cruel sometimes! Fuquan, if you are the eldest son of the emperor? Although I have no intention of harming you, many subtle coincidences still converge into the mighty river of history...... Fuquan, no matter where history goes in the future, I, Zeng Hongyi, will definitely not fail you......

At this time, there was a wailing and begging for mercy from Wu Liangfu's highly individualized voice, and Hongyi peeked at Fulin again, and he showed a trace of helplessness in his anxiety and helplessness...... Old eunuch, if it's not the master, I want to save you, you can't live if you do your own evil! It's that you're not yet ready to die, so let's keep you for a few more days, so that the emperor and the queen mother, as well as yourself, each remember the "affection" of the master!

After all, today's matter, it is easy to take Wu Liangfu, the old eunuch, as easy as a hand, but if this is the case, who will be the biggest winner in this palace? Empress dowager! Who are the biggest losers? Emperor? Who is the biggest front-of-house trader? Me, Hongyi!

With such a calculation, the answer is very clear: make a wedding dress for others, and take the risk yourself. And it is still unknown how the queen mother will treat herself, the emperor, and even the future Qing Dynasty, there is no need to come out so early and come out to offend the emperor to the queen mother.

"Left and right" is a clever trick used by countless ancestors of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and when they crossed by themselves, they did not bring arsenal ships, tanks and armor, special operations units and the like, and did not even have a very popular "plug-in trading equipment", so they could not "teleport in time and space" what they wanted, or honestly rely on their brains to "fight with heaven and earth and people"! Nowadays, not clearly choosing sides is the most active situation! ……

There is also a small gongzi, you have been wronged......

[1] In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the staff scolded the eunuchs, and generally did not take off their pants and beat their buttocks, because this was to "save face" for the eunuchs.

[2] It is a matter of attitude. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, when the eunuchs were punished with a cane, five eunuchs had to hold down the head and limbs of the beaten person, one eunuch carried out the punishment with a cane, and one eunuch sang the punishment (counting) and imprisoned. If the beaten eunuch did not cry and admit his mistake, it would be disrespectful and the punishment would be more severe.

[3] According to the third volume of the Yongxian Lu (which belongs to the miscellaneous history): "Prince Yu (Fuquan) was not allowed to stand at the expense of a single eye. "The reason why Shunzhi failed to succeed to the throne after his collapse was that he had a disability in one eye. However, it is not recorded in the official history.
