Between Qiu Yizhi and Wang Zhonghai, Gu Erniang didn't even want to hear half a word, so she excused herself that the house was too stuffy, so she went out to watch the wind.

Qiu Yizhi sat down on the narrow kang that was no more than three feet wide, and He'er also sat side by side next to him.

Qiu Yizhi looked around the small eunuch house again, and said, "The name of the prince has been admired for a long time. It is said that the father-in-law is a well-known figure in the palace, but he didn't expect his life to be so simple. ”

Wang Zhonghai laughed dryly: "The miscellaneous family died when they were six years old, and they entered the palace when they had no food to eat. At that time, I didn't understand anything, and I dared to bully me as a person. This room was originally a latrine, and the eunuch bastard who was in charge of the affairs let me live here. I lived for more than ten years, and then I entrusted a few emperors with Hongfu, and the miscellaneous family was finally promoted, and the power was getting bigger and bigger, but it was rare that no one bothered here, so people dismantled the toilet and changed it into a dormitory, and it was much more comfortable to live. ”

"The room was clean. But since it's been rebuilt, why not make it more decent? Porcelain, jade, calligraphy and paintings, there are in the palace, and the father-in-law said a word, and they all came, and they also added some elegance to the house, isn't it? Qiu Yizhi asked.

Wang Zhonghai said with a smile: "These items can't be eaten when they're hungry, they can't be worn when they're cold, they're useless, what's the use of the miscellaneous family coming here?" It's just a bad reputation......"

"Since my father-in-law doesn't love things outside the body like money and jewelry, and he can't enjoy enough food and clothing in this life, why should he monopolize power and make waves?" Qiu Yizhi asked puzzled.

"Hey, hey, hey. Childe is really a heroic boy, and you are the first to ask the miscellaneous family like this. Wang Zhonghai replied, "I remember when I entered the palace, the master of the miscellaneous family, that is, the eunuch who lived in the thatched house of the miscellaneous family, said: If you are a eunuch, you can't be an adult, you can only be a dog, and the master will bite whoever he wants, and he will never ask why." ”

"Since my father-in-law said so, can I understand it like this? It turned out that instructing hundreds of officials to attack and impeach the prince of Youyan for no reason, and setting up the Quanshan Division to supervise the capital Luoyang, etc., are all the meanings of today's saints? Qiu Yizhi asked.

Wang Zhonghai asked: "I don't know if my son has ever raised a dog?" ”

Qiu Yizhi happened to have a white dog named "Lulu" who had accompanied him since he was a child, and now he was staying in Guangyang City, so he nodded and replied with two words: "Raised." ”

"That dog, whatever the owner tells him to do, he does? Can it be called a good dog? ”

"Lulu" has a temperament like its owner, the most unruly, when you are in a good mood, you can also listen to some instructions, and when you are in a bad mood, you may not pay attention to you if you shout your throat.

Qiu Yizhi didn't know why Wang Zhonghai suddenly talked about raising dogs, but he replied with his topic: "There are orders and prohibitions, even if there are living people, few people can do it." If you can do it, of course, you will be a good dog. ”

"That's not right." Wang Zhonghai said, "This kind of dog is not the best dog. The best dog, the owner can know what to do with a look. When the master is happy, he will wag his tail; The master is irritable, and it will run away; The master wants to teach people a lesson, and it will rush up and bite, and if it bites, it can't let go! ”

"What? According to the meaning of the prince, there is no explicit edict to impeach the prince of Youyan today, nor is there a holy decree to set up the Yamen of the Persuasion Division? ”

"Childe is such a beautiful person, why can't he understand the words of the miscellaneous family? Do you still want the emperor to say this? Wang Zhonghai was a little anxious.

Qiu Yizhi was about to induce him to speak, so he asked: "I just don't understand it, so I want to ask the prince!" What does the prince mean by this? ”

"It's not a matter of two or three years that the emperor likes His Royal Highness, the second son, and he always wants to make him the crown prince. But most of the ministers outside are ignorant, and they talk about what ancestors have made into the law, and they don't let the emperor get their wish, son, you say that if you encounter such an ignorant person, shouldn't you punish it well? The more Wang Zhonghai spoke, the more angry he became, "There are also some ignorant grass people, seeing that a few officials have been arrested, they treat them as some kind of loyal ministers and good generals, and they will scold the miscellaneous family when they open their mouths." Even if you scold the miscellaneous family, you can even scold the emperor. Shouldn't such a guy who doesn't have a monarch in his heart teach him a lesson? ”

Qiu Yizhi pondered for a long time after hearing this, and asked, "What about sending someone to impeach Prince Youyan?" I remember that the emperor's brotherhood with the prince is very famous! How can it be so reprimanded? ”

"The prince is also a miscellaneous family who grew up serving and growing up...... If the prince was willing to support His Royal Highness the second son of the emperor when he entered Beijing a few years ago, even if he was self-reliant in the middle, how could the miscellaneous family embarrass the prince! Wang Zhonghai sighed and said, "The miscellaneous family remembers clearly, after the prince went back that day, the emperor was depressed for a while. To put it mildly, Gongzi is just a dog raised by the prince, and if the prince has something, the prince risked his life to enter the palace. The miscellaneous family's loyalty to the emperor is no worse than that of the prince, so they asked a few officials to talk, presumably the prince can understand, right? ”

Although these words are ugly, Qiu Yizhi often said in front of Zheng Rong what he was willing to do in front of Zheng Rong and so on, and he couldn't find the slightest fault, so he had to quietly listen to Wang Zhonghai continue to gush: "In the eyes of the miscellaneous family, there is only one emperor, and the emperor is unhappy, so the miscellaneous family has to find ways to please the master, and as for how others scold the miscellaneous family behind their backs, they can't care about it!" ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he realized that the impeachment of his father-in-law, Youyan Wang Zhengrong, was neither the emperor's idea nor Wang Zhonghai's treacherous scheme, and the wisdom of Zhong Likuang and the old man Yang Yuanzhi couldn't guess the eunuch's mind.

So he asked himself and said to Wang Zhonghai: "Did the father-in-law think of this layer?" This persuasion of the good division and the thirteen divisions of the previous dynasty to change the soup without changing the medicine, all of which were forbidden by Emperor Taizu. And instructing hundreds of officials to impeach the prince of Youyan is not a good reputation. Later generations of historians will not put this account on their father-in-law, but will only say that today's saints listen to slander, violate the ancestral teachings, and frame the loyal and good, which is a ...... It's a faint ......."

The more Qiu Yizhi said, the more embarrassed the expression on Wang Zhonghai's face became, and in the end, an old face was already full of grief: "Why didn't the miscellaneous family think of this?" Why didn't the miscellaneous family think of this? Talking about it is already old tears.

The purpose of Qiu Yi's trip has been achieved, and he is no longer willing to stay in this land of tigers and wolves for a long time, so he said: "What I want to ask next, my father-in-law has already given advice." My father-in-law's devotion to the saints today is also known below. In this case, I will no longer disturb the prince and princess, so let's take my leave! ”

Wang Zhonghai listened, hurriedly wiped away his tears with his sleeves, and said: "Listening to the words of the son, the miscellaneous family is really open. There are also a lot of Jinshi and Hanlin bachelors who have taken refuge in the miscellaneous family, why don't they have such insight as a son? ”

Qiu Yi replied as he got up: "The people around my father-in-law are either afraid of you or have a request for you, so how can you expect them to tell the truth?" ”

When Wang Zhonghai saw Qiu Yizhi standing up, he also hurriedly got up, and grabbed Qiu Yizhi and said, "Why is Childe leaving?" After hearing a few words from the son, the miscellaneous family felt that they had lived half their lives in vain. Why do you have to leave so early? Why don't you stay and talk to the family more? ”

Qiu Yizhi's heart tightened when he heard this, although Wang Zhonghai said this politely, he really didn't want to let himself leave peacefully, and he was just about to talk to him.

At this time, He'er on the side said: "Qiu Gongzi has only said a few words, and you feel that you have lived in vain for half your life, and if you want to speak again, then you must not be reincarnated?" ”

Qiu Yizhi looked at this little girl who didn't know the priorities angrily, and the words "no rudeness" had not yet been spoken, but Wang Zhonghai said to He'er:

"Yo, you little girl has such a sharp mouth! I just don't know when to speak and when not to speak, if I were Qiu Gongzi, I would cut out your tongue when I went back! With that, an extremely vicious expression swept across his face.

Qiu Yi thought that although Wang Zhonghai would not embarrass himself just because He'er said a word, He'er's unobstructed problem had to be corrected. However, the most important thing at the moment is to get out early, so he said: "The princess has learned a lesson, and when she goes back, she will be cramped and skinned to apologize to her father-in-law." With that, Qiu Yizhi glanced at He'er, turned around and was about to go out.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhonghai pulled Qiu Yizhi with one hand and said with a smile: "Hey, hey, hey." Childe can come when he wants, leave when he wants, and treat this palace as your backyard? ”

Qiu Yizhi heard what Wang Zhonghai said murderously, and finally thought of the promise that Gu's mother had made to leave the palace unscathed, so she asked in an almost distressed tone: "Is Gu's mother still outside the door?" ”

Gu Erniang seemed to have gone far, Qiu Yizhi shouted several times, and Fang heard her agree: "It's here!" Then he came in through the door and asked, "How?" Does Childe want to go home? She saw Qiu Yizhi nodded, and then said to He'er, "Please go out for a while for a while, the slave family's methods are a little unsightly!" ”

He'er wished to go out early, but when she said this, she didn't say a word, and quickly exited the room.

Seeing that only Wang Zhonghai, Qiu Yizhi and herself were left in the house, Gu Erniang walked up to Wang Zhonghai and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, now it's the turn of the slave family to serve the father-in-law!" ”

Wang Zhonghai saw her getting closer and closer, and a disgusted expression appeared on his face: "Where did the prostitute come from?" Don't hurry up and give the miscellaneous family a retreat! ”

"Yo! The father-in-law and the slave family are both ninth-rate, no one should dislike anyone! Gu Erniang said, pinching the back of Wang Zhonghai's head with her right hand very quickly, and without knowing what kung fu she used, she made Wang Zhonghai's mouth grow, and with her left hand, she took out a pill the size of a soybean from her bandeau and stuffed it into Wang Zhonghai's mouth.

Qiu Yizhi knew that this Gu Erniang was a master of poisoning, so she was afraid of what kind of poison, if Wang Zhonghai was poisoned on the spot, then the matter would be out of control, and hurriedly stopped: "Mother Gu be careful, don't hurt his life!" ”

Gu Erniang listened, put Wang Zhonghai, who had taken an unknown medicine and had passed out, on the kang, and then turned her head and whispered to Qiu Yizhi: "Don't worry, the slave family will not do such a stupid thing." It's just that this is the slave's ability to protect the family's life, that is, Tianzun...... Not even anyone in the Holy Church knows about it. ”

Gu Erniang's words aroused Qiu Yizhi's curiosity again, and asked, "What kind of good skill is this?" Here you have to see and learn! ”

"Leaving Gongzi here, don't you just want Gongzi to see it, so you can rest assured?" As she spoke, Gu Erniang's hand was already on Qiu Yizhi's shoulder, "I just hope that the son will be able to keep his mouth shut when he sees it." If the slave family's housekeeping skills are known by others, it will not work! ”

After that, Gu Erniang turned around, bent down, and slapped the unconscious Wang Zhonghai in the face......
