I'm fully recovered, if not something.

I went back to Chang'an Dongfang Shifu again to pick up things.

As soon as I entered the door, I was shocked!

The whole family was greeting me - well, except for the head of the family, Dongfang Chengping! Well, there are also Dongfang Mingyue and Dongfang Yongde......

I asked, "What about the eldest lady?" ”

They said: "The eldest lady goes to Chang'an County every day to watch a play. ”

But I know she's not going to the theater......

Dongfang Yi, who served in the household department of the imperial palace, also came, and he said: "Fifteen years ago, I took the ninety-nine exams. If you are sixteenth this time, you will definitely enter Royal Roads University and become the preparatory core of the inner court. If you go to school with the princes, you must have a good relationship and become a minister in the future! ”

Dongfang Yongwu patted me on the shoulder and said, "Haha! You've become my classmate! I'm laughing to death! However, I didn't go to school for a day, skipped classes every day, and graduated. Ahaha! ”

There are two universities in Chang'an: Imperial University and Royal Roads University.

Imperial University, abbreviated as Imperial University, is the highest university in the country, and its students are all scholars.

Royal Roads University, abbreviated as Imperial University, has students who are the Inner Court and the Imperial Family.

According to the Ming Dynasty's Law, the Imperial University and the Royal University are part of the "Royal Ministry of Education", and they should all be in the "Royal Ministry of Education", an auxiliary building at five o'clock in the palace.

However, this has not been the case for a long time.

The Imperial University is divided into two parts, but the first does not exist - if it exists, it should be in the "Royal Ministry of Education"; The second part - the "ontology" of the Imperial University - in the official district of Chang'an City, there are more than 100,000 teachers and students! The imperial principal's name is Kong Youli, who is also the head of Confucianism and the royal priest. The vice-principal's name is Ye Anyi, and he is also the head of the Divine Cult and the royal high priest.

Royal Roads University is also divided into two parts: the Inner Court Branch and the Prince Branch. The Inner Court occupies the entire annex building (the whole "Royal Ministry of Education"), and the students are all members of the Inner Court; The Prince's branch is on the 50th floor of the Imperial Palace, and the students are all Princes. The teachers of the Inner Court Branch and the Imperial Court Branch are the same people - the same people of the Inner Court. The president of Imperial University is called Zhou Guangqi, and the vice president is called Lu Ziluo.

I went back to my room and prepared the items to enter the palace.

I dug a crack in the wooden bookcase and put the dagger inside. This dagger is very narrow, very thin, and it is completely invisible when tucked into the slit. I looked at it myself for a while, and even called someone over to admire my bookcase. Although others wondered why I was showing him a bookcase, he looked inside and out of my bookcase and couldn't find the dagger. I scattered my three books into the others, looked at them again and saw them without any flaws, and then went on to stuff a full box of letters, pendants, and belongings.

I'm confident that the palace guards won't be able to find it.

This is a paradox. If you know you can find it, you can find it; If you don't know what you're searching for, you won't be able to find it.

I took the car back to the palace.

I was holding a "letter of entry into the palace" with my position written on it: Assistant to the Department of Broadcasting and Storage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs says that it is not big, but it is not small. It is not like the super ministry of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Military, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Law, and the Ministry of Industry, but it can be regarded as a good thing in the imperial court. After all, the Ministry of Internal Affairs controls the Imperial Palace, and it wants to wear you small shoes, which can wear you to death!

The palace officials can be roughly divided into ministers, chiefs, officers, and servants, and my "assistant to the director" is considered to be "director-level" - quite powerful! You think, Dongfang Yi has been mixed for almost 20 years, and it is only at the level of director.

I looked up at the palace and was full of pride!

Palace, I'm coming!

Look at who of us is squeezing whom!

I'm not the best, but I'm much better than you mentally retarded!

Anyway, the sky is falling, you guys are on top!

Ha ha!

We entered through the back door of the palace.

The back door of the palace is plain and even cramped, and you enter the door to a very large elevator - the first time you have seen such an elevator. At the beginning of the Dongfang Mansion and the auxiliary building, I broke my leg when I climbed the stairs! Imagine that there is no elevator in the palace on the 200th floor, then it is really fatal!

The Praetorian Army's attention was apparently on my pile of books and clothes, and they flipped through the pages, digging into their pockets, not paying any attention to the thin bookcase. Despite my heartbeat, I came in intact.

The elevator opened, and the elevator was quite large and somewhat shabby, with four gun-wielding prohibitions standing in the four corners of it. There were more than a dozen of us, holding a lot of luggage, and the elevator room still looked wide after entering.

The elevator went up, the red lights printed with Arabic numerals lit up one after another, and finally on the 19th floor, the door opened, and five big characters were written on the wall facing the wall, "Royal Interior Office", and a bunch of eunuchs surrounded a gorgeously dressed eunuch, waiting for us.

The group of eunuchs said, "I don't bow when I see the governor!" ”

So a bunch of people knelt down together.

The eunuch in Chinese clothes said, "All of them are exempt, I am the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and these are the directors of my various departments." I used to be a lifter, and we were all the same, both of whom were confidants of His Majesty the Emperor. You are different from other eunuchs, and in the future our position will be yours, and you must do a good job. Xiao Zhaozi, lead them around, and then let's stay and rest first. ”

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is the majority and is divided into ten divisions. I was in the Broad Storage Division, which was the equivalent of the Royal Warehouse. In other words, I'm now a warehouse manager – and a deputy.

I think, it's okay, it's the same career as the Monkey King. He manages the horses, and I am better than him, and I manage more than him......

A eunuch who was standing behind the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs just now said to me: "I am the director of the Guangchu Department, your immediate boss. This is the officer, the patrol. You can count me as my assistant, and we will count us as colleagues. Our Guangchu Division is a great secretary, and there are more than 200 eunuchs under him, and you can call on them. ”

He said again: "Your name is Dongfang Ju, and I will call you Xiao Dongzi in the future!" ”

What the hell is this name! But it seems to be better than Xiaofangzi and Xiaofoal.

I said, "Xiao Dongzi is willing to serve the adults in the future!" ”

A few people behind him called me again: "Father-in-law." ”

This...... I put up with it. Actually, this is exactly right. Well, I have a new name - Xiao Dongzi, Dongfang Gonggong.

What the! It's ugly than "Little Plum"!

Afterwards, I said to them, "If you are older than me, you can call me Xiao Dongzi; If you are on the same level as me, I suggest you call me Oriental Horse; If you were younger than me, and you didn't call me 'sir,' you would have died a miserable death!" ”

Very good, I am a Wenju person, ranking in the top 1,000 among the 100,000 people in the palace, so there are really not many people who call me "father-in-law" and "little Dongzi......

My residence is on the 75th floor in the inner court dormitory.

There were a lot of people inside, and there was a faint stench and a strong scent that tried to hide the stench. Dozens of people were thrown into each room, and the upper, middle and lower bunks were crowded, and groups of eunuchs were crammed into it. What a palace, it's not as good as my house!

But I was assigned a big room! Big room with everything you need! Super big room! Lamps, desks, bookcases, wardrobes, heating, and everything is available. And the same room next door was crammed with forty or fifty eunuchs.

I was also assigned two little eunuchs to serve, one in charge of life and the other in charge of work. I can't imagine that I still have to be served.

I asked them, "What are your names?" Where are the people? "I'm just asking this to show that I'm reasonable and amiable, and nothing else.

A person said to me: "My name is Li Xiaofei, but my original name is Zhao Xiaofei, a native of the Central Plains." ”

I said, "I'm also from the Central Plains." How did you get here? ”

He said: "I didn't want to live like the people in the village, so I ran out to learn more. But as soon as I entered the county seat, I was arrested, and the big family in the county gave me to Li Daguan in Luoyang, so I was castrated and sent here. You can call me Little Plum. ”

It's horrible. If I go out without permission, I may end up with him.

I said, "What about the other one?" You talk about it. ”

Another person said: "My original name was Wang Heyu, a native of Liangzhou. I was walking on the road when I was tied up and sold. They said I should go to the palace on an errand, but I said I wouldn't go to death. They also said that if I didn't go, they would kill my whole family, so I had to come here. Now, my family doesn't recognize me, saying that I have lost the face of the whole family. ”

I sighed and said, "You are all forced, only I am the one who takes the initiative." I don't know if I regret it. ”

Everyone treated me with respect—because I was an official of the inner court, and there were only a thousand eunuchs out of the tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace.

The eunuchs of the palace were divided into four levels, and the difference was huge, and the hierarchy was strict and insurmountable.

The lowest are the criminals, who have been toiling in shackles all their lives, in darkness all their lives, and they have not been able to see others, and no one else has been able to see them.

Above are the conscripted civilians, who are ordinary eunuchs. Most of the eunuchs were such people.

Then there is the selection of the scholars, of course they are not really scholars, they are bought by the scholars and castrated to the emperor, these people use the surnames of the scholars, and their status is not high, but they will have the support of their respective scholars. My two subordinates, as well as the little plum in the auxiliary building, were all selected eunuchs like this.

Further up are the imperial officials of the inner court, selected by the emperor's imperial examination, some of them are in the palace, some go to the place, and some are officials in Chang'an. Their positions rotate frequently and are highly flexible. These people are the only ones who can leave the palace. Of course, that's the kind of person I am.

Ha ha!

I became the master of the palace!

I sat in an incomparably spacious personal room, drinking lotus seed and eight-treasure porridge, leaning my legs on a chair, looking at Chang'an City a few hundred meters away!

The people of Chang'an City are as small as ants!

It's very pleasant!

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

Xiao Lizi came over and said, "My lord! The Royal Security Service has come to check! ”

Me: "Check what?" ”

Him: "Check for contraband. ”

Me: "Check again!" The palace is really strict! ”

More than a dozen people came.

They are not forbidden troops, but - "ordinary eunuchs".

But they don't look like "ordinary eunuchs", because their eyes look extremely "wise", and besides, it seems a little scary.

They carried strange hoops with two lights, one red and one green.

I asked Xiao Lizi, "What is this?" ”

Xiao Lizi: "Detector, the red light shows that there is a weapon, but the green light does not." ”

I thought, "! What the heck! The palace still has this kind of high-end gadget! ”

Flashing red light!

Keep flashing!

My blood is clotted!

They split open the box.

See you when the box is broken!

Damn it! Dog, you bastard! Kill me!

They looked at me and began to look at the books carefully.

They were smart enough to restore those three books page by page!

The leader pointed at me: "You, go to the royal guard!" ”
