Two months have passed.

After being castrated, two months passed.

I thought I should write a chapter, "I'm No Longer a Man," to describe the causes, the process, the feelings, the explanations, the wrongs, the tidbits, the sorrows......

However, what's the point?

Such a shameful thing!

……

But is there a shame?

What does "shame" mean? What does "lost" mean? What does "human" mean?

……

I'm me, why should I care about others?

……

I'm me, I'm controlling me, how can I do what I don't want to do?

……

Am I deluding myself?

……

……

……

I don't mention it, and no one else mentions it, and the "parties involved" are very quiet, as if it never existed.

If you don't think about it, the reality is actually quite good.

There are people to serve everything, get up, dress, wash, eat, take medicine, excrete, and there are people singing, dancing, acting and telling jokes, which is perfect.

We stayed at the Royal Officials' Department, like that, as if it were our home.

It does feel a lot like home.

The Royal Officials Department is not heavily guarded, it is much looser than the Royal Palace, and many people can come - according to the Minister - "It's like a public toilet, you can come when you want, you can go when you want" - but I refuse to say this, how can people say that their home is a public toilet?!

But it's really "come when you want, go when you want".

In the past two months, I have met all kinds of visitors, all of whom are from the major clans of the world.

I saw the provincial flags of the provinces, the county flags of the counties, the family emblems of the major scholars, the family coats of arms of the minor scholars, and I also saw many strange flags, such as the religious flag, the regimental flag, and the meeting flag......

Those legendary Tianzihao scholars also saw ...... "Tianzihao Twelve Families" appeared one by one...... One is bigger than the other......

Most of the outer dynasties were scholars. The largest of the scholars is the Twelfth Family of Tianzihao. At present, the Twelve Families of Tianzi are similar to those of the past few hundred years, although some of them are "hundred-legged insects die but do not stiffen", but they are still stronger than other scholars.

The 12 families are:

Zhaojun Zhao, Longxi Li, Shaanbei Li, Chang'an Guo, Hongnong Yang, Liaoxi Jin, Lingnan Lin, Liaodong Pu, Jiangnan Cui, Jiangdong Lu, Shanxi Wang, Shandong Kong.

Some of them are scholars from a long, long time ago, such as (according to) the Shandong Kong clan is a scholar family of more than 20,000 years, a lineage of ten thousand generations, and it has been passed down to more than 400 generations. The Jiangdong Lu clan and the Shanxi Wang clan are also scholars for more than 10,000 years. These nobles are very high-minded, and even look down on the royal family a little.

Some of them were late to the Ming Emperor Zhu Dachang before they made their fortunes, and most of them were founding fathers, such as the Li family in Longxi, the Li family in northern Shaanxi, the Guo family in Chang'an, the Dugu family in Liangzhou, etc., they often intermarried with the royal family, and often entered the palace as officials by themselves or selected scholars, so they were powerful.

Because these nouveau riche are too arrogant, sometimes they will take a heel or something. For example, a few years ago, the Dugu clan in Liangzhou tried to change the dynasty, but the clan was wiped out. Afterwards, in order to abide by the ancestral precept of never killing heroes, the emperor killed the Dugu clan in Liangzhou, and transferred the branch scholar clan of the Dugu family from other places, and gave it to the new Dugu clan of Liangzhou.

There are also Shandong Kong clan, Liaodong Jin clan, Lingnan Lin clan, etc., all of whom are powerful and powerful in the far away places of the Tiangao Emperor and dominate one side.

Generally, the recognized sphere of influence in the temple is: Zhao Jun Zhao is the emperor's person, Longxi Li and Liaoxi Jin are the crown prince's people, Chang'an Guo and Northern Shaanxi Li are the crown prince's people, and the rest of the Dashi clan has no inclination - at least not to show it.

Our family, the Liangzhou Dongfang family, is also here, and it is Dongfang Yongwu and Dongfang Yongbai - please note this: the two of them came to the palace just to see me alone!

Dongfang Yongwu held my hand and said, "Don't worry, take care of your illness, you should eat and drink." ”

Although this is true...... It's hard to hear, but I got it.

Dongfang Yongbai said: "Dongfang Ju, if you need me for anything, just ask." ”

I thought, "I'm in the palace, what else do I need from you?" ”

I said, "Well, I'll just get to it." ”

Dongfang Yongbai: "The third brother still wants to toss, but my father scolded a few times, and he is much more honest." ”

It seems that Dongfang Yongde's brainless is still messing around!

Before leaving, they waved at me.

I waved at them.

People look at us.

Ha! Although the Liangzhou Oriental Family is not the "Twelfth Family of Tianzi", it can also be ranked in the world, so - I have enough face!

I was so flattered that I even forgave my family for cutting me two months ago.

I was in a surging mood and thought: I must be a great loyal minister for the country and the people, and I will never be ashamed of my family!

……

But!

Are they my family?

They made me a eunuch!

……

But!

What's the matter with them?

Without them, I'm not looking for someone else?

……

What you do is always what you want to do, no matter how hypocritical you are.

……

Actually, all this is self-inflicted.

I'm in charge.

I was thinking about it when someone said, "The Minister of Officials is here!" The Minister of Officials is here! Hurry up and stand still! Say what about you! Hurry up and get up! Don't pretend! Don't lie on your stomach! Get up all! ”

I thought, "Damn, the minister of the ministry comes every day, what's all the fuss!" He's working here! ”

Suddenly, I realized that something was wrong - this person said "Minister of Officials", not "Minister of Officials"!

The minister is a minister at the level of a prime minister!

Sure enough, dozens of forbidden soldiers came over around a middle-aged man.

Someone whispered: "Minister Li Changsheng, the head of the Ministry of Officials, is a popular man in charge of the inner court." ”

The minister was about fifty years old, fair-skinned, thin and capable, with a relaxed smile on his face.

He stood in the middle of the hall.

The Praetorian Army was around him.

All the officials and members of the Ministry of Officials have arrived.

Two hundred and fifty new lifters have arrived.

Minister of Officials: "My name is Li Changsheng, Minister of Officials. ”

Everyone said, "Hello Minister! ”

Li Changsheng: "The world's talents, all in the world, are in the middle of the world, it is really my blessing to be Ming." ”

Everyone said: "Swear allegiance to the Ming Dynasty." ”

The head of the household department smiled and said, "Where are you from home, where are you a scholar?" Let's talk about it. ”

People were talking one by one.

Basically, there are people in every province and county in the world, and there are people from all the major noble clans.

It was my turn.

Minister Lee Chang-sung looked at me with infinite encouragement and love in his eyes.

Me: "A native of Luobei in the Central Plains, a native of Liangzhou in the East." ”

Li Changsheng nodded with satisfaction and looked at the next lifter.

That's all said and done.

-

Everyone looked at the minister and smiled.

The minister also looked at everyone and smiled.

But the minister's smile was slowly fading, and his eyes were full of power.

Now, he stared at them all with anger in his eyes.

What's the situation?!

People were silent!

Li Changsheng said word by word: "That was before. ”

He paced and said, "Now, you have no place of origin, no scholars. You are not from the nobles, you are not from the commoners, but from the emperor! ”

He said, "You have no name and no surname, you are ruthless and unrighteous. You are the inner court and the outer court, you are the court itself, you are the world itself. ”

He looked out the window at the palace: "Remember, he who loves himself more than the emperor does not deserve to live!" What a place of origin and a scholar! Bah! ”

He looked at everyone and said, "Mark my words." ”

He's gone.

Everyone looked at each other.

Everyone's expressions were serious, full of a sense of rebirth and empowerment!

Until—someone laughed out loud with a "poof".

An old eunuch said, "Haha, I do this thing every year!" Don't change the tricks! Word for word! Ha ha! ”

There were about 500 people in the hall, of which 250 were newcomers, and the rest were members of the royal bureaucracy.

The people of the Royal Officials Department laughed.

The Minister of Officials stepped forward and said, "Don't make trouble! Don't make a fuss! Be serious. Everyone, be serious. ”

But those people laughed even harder.

Our people laughed too – however, it's just a ridiculous "following the trend", as if someone else yawns and you yawn.

I was at a loss.

At this time, the director of the service department shouted: "Everyone forgot what happened to the examination office? ”

The hall was silent.

The laughing ministers and members had "real fear" expressions on their faces.

-

-

I also heard about what happened to the exam office.

The Examination Office, strictly speaking, is a division of the "Royal Inspectorate" - the Examination Department.

At the end of each year, the imperial court will send people from the inner court and the outer court to the Royal Supervision Department to form a "temporary group" of several hundred people, which is the "examination office".

At the end of last year, the imperial court set up an examination office as usual.

This examination office is the largest, because every department of the imperial court wants to implement its own ideas into the examination, and every department of the imperial court has successfully implemented its own ideas into the examination.

Do you think that the court officials control the world, and the court officials are all from the people, and they will try to control the people - if you control the meeting, won't you control the world?!

In the past, there were only 100 people in the examination office, but this time there are hundreds of people. Those people were locked up in the Royal Inspectorate, isolated from the rest of the world - for the sake of secrecy. After months of arguing and arguing, they finally reached a compromise and produced one of the hardest exam papers ever.

However, this exam paper angered everyone but them! Because the people out there never compromise! To compromise is to surrender! Compromise is failure!

No one pleaded, all the people in the examination department were directly demoted, and the director was directly thrown into the prison!

If it weren't for the fact that Director Kong of the Examination Department was the head of the Ming Dynasty State Religion, Confucianism, Kong Youli, I am afraid that he would have been thrown directly into prison!
