The knife maker surnamed Liu in the capital said that his father and mother loved him.

These words were said by the knife maker when his little brother was cut off, and he remembers it to this day.

At that time, he was not called Qiu Anren, nor was he turning his hand over for the clouds to supervise the palm seal of the Great Eunuch and the Governor of the East Factory, he was called the official brother - his father and mother wanted him to be rich and noble, and he would be an official.

The knife maker said, just the skin of you, your child, your father should send you to the Bada Hutong Elephant Auntie to be a rabbit, but they feel sorry for you, and they don't plan to let you be ridden by thousands of people and send you to me.

However, later Qiu Anren was no longer willing to mention his parents, only saying that he was abducted by a kidnapper and sold to a knife maker, and asked him why his surname was Qiu, and he only said that his father's surname was Qiu.

"After entering the palace and serving in front of the emperor, you will be rich and noble, and you will know that your father and mother are good to you." The knife maker sharpened his knife, and a bowl of hemp boiled and poured down.

By the time he sobered up again, the nine-year-old official brother was already lying in a gloomy room with children about the same age of seven or eight years.

Of the seven or eight children, only one of them walked out of the room.

The knife maker looked at the two circles and lost his appearance, but it was still a very sick beauty, and said: "Oh, good fortune, it is a rich and noble life." ”

Rich and noble? The young official squinted his eyes, and there were always people who told him that he would be rich and rich in the future, and that was a real strike.

When he saw the Forbidden City, the red glazed tiles were reflected in the sun.

Is it gold? The young official brother, with his poor imagination, thought that this was probably the appearance of a rich and noble.

Brother Guan didn't know how much of a child who looked at the golden realm on the surface could hide dirt.

They were the first boys to be sent to the palace during the Longwu years, and hundreds of children stood in front of the squinting old lady like hundreds of little chicks, only he stood slim like a little fairy duck.

Yes, the old lady used to describe him as "slim", which he later learned when he read the book that it was a word used to describe girls.

The children learned rules and did chores together until the evening. At night, everyone else can go, but he has to stay.

The old lady said that she was from the Celebrant Supervisor, and first said something to him, "We are all former court servants, and we are all traitors, and we can't be reused", and then said something "It is up to you children to be troublesome in this Forbidden City in the future." "Yunyun.

Brother Guan didn't understand it at the time, but he felt that what he said was good, so he couldn't stop nodding his head.

The old lady was satisfied, and touched his head—he was a full-horned child, and his full head was shaved off, leaving only two haircuts on the crest. So his soft head touched the old lady's big hand, and there was a wrap on it, which rubbed him with a whip.

Then the old lady said to him, "I see that you are a rich and noble life, and I will send you to the inner hall to study in the future, and then to the celebrant in the court!" Do you know what a celebrant is? ”

Brother Guan heard "rich and noble" again, but this time there are two more words "reading", and the place where you can only go after reading must be very harmful? Brother Guan shook his head in awe.

The old lady's hand rubbed from his head to his face, and grinned, "It's a place where you can manipulate the whole court." ”

The official brother wanted to read, and he also wanted to enter the ceremonial prison, so he listened to the old lady and went to his bedroom that night - he wanted to show the official brother a way to go smoothly.

He never imagined what it would be like a night.

The eunuch's body is missing parts, and he can't be like ordinary men**, but the more they lack something, the more they want something, so their teeth, nails, and hands all become tools to vent their desires.

The old lady asked the officer's brother to call him a teacher, and he became his child from then on.

On the surface, the official brother is still a white jade-like person, but when he lifts his clothes, he can't find a piece of good skin and flesh under the noodles.

The old lady did the arithmetic, and on the second day he was chosen to go into the inner hall, where he read the Holy Book just like the old men outside. But it's not the same, if they pass the exam in the future, they will all be able to stand openly and honestly in front of the Holy Gate. But he was different, he went out of the inner hall and entered the celebrity prison, and he could only stand behind the emperor's side, shrinking behind the light of the dragon chair, and waiting on everyone like a mouse.

So he learned some high-sounding ways of governing in the inner hall during the day, and also learned how to commit himself to others at night.

He later used these things to make many people fall in favor of him, no matter how coercive or otherwise, these many people, including Leng Changqiu, the celebrant of the Qing'an years later. House

In the year when Brother Guan'er entered the palace, Emperor Longwu and Empress Yi were barely able to be regarded as Qi Mei, but later the relationship became worse and worse.

In the process of the gradual deterioration of the relationship between the emperor and the queen, he also grew from a delicate and good-looking porcelain doll to a jade-like teenager.

When he was fourteen years old, his master led him to Empress Yi and asked him to memorize a passage, and he remembered that he had memorized "Yue Yang Lou Ji" at that time.

"Yuzhang Ancient County, Hongdu New Mansion; The stars are divided into wings, and the ground is connected to Heng Li...... "He just memorized four words, and he saw Queen Yi open her eyes.

"Stop." She said.

Thinking that he had made a mistake, the official stopped helplessly, glanced at the queen with a pair of fox-like eyes, and then stared at the tips of his feet.

"Do you have a name?" The Empress asked him.

"Brother Guan." He said.

"What's your last name?" Empress Yi asked again.

"Qiu." He replied.

"The surname is Qiu...... "Queen Li's face showed a playful look, "Then don't call this name from now on, call it 'Anren'." ”

At the age of fourteen, he became Qiu Anren of the Han Toad, and at night he also changed from serving his master to serving the queen, which was the sixth year of Longwu.

What kind of tricks can a woman and a teenager with something missing from her body play? But what his master had taught him at night came in handy at this time.

All in all, it's pretty much the same.

Emperor Longwu died suddenly at the age of seventeen, leaving behind a five or six-year-old cub and a young widow, and all his concubines were buried in the mausoleum with him, no matter how young and beautiful the girl.

And the surviving people of Emperor Longwu listened to those girls screaming, and there was a smile on their faces.

He also laughed, those who had beaten him or had slighted him in the past had all died with Emperor Longwu today.

What a pleasure, Qiu Anren thought.

Seventeen-year-old Qiu Anren entered the ceremonial supervisor and became the youngest and most beautiful chamberlain in the room, although the chamberlain was young and beautiful, he didn't know what to do.

It was also in that year that he knew that the real Qiu Anren was actually someone else.

On weekdays, he called him "Old Cabinet Qiu".

That day, he was behind the curtain and witnessed the Han Toad, who had just become the queen mother, complaining about the old man of the Qiu cabinet and telling him some childhood sweethearts.

And he himself listened carefully to the voice of Elder Qiu, and it turned out to be an eight-point resemblance to himself. It's just that his voice is more brittle and tender, and because of the lack of something, his voice will always be like that of a teenager.

He hid behind the curtain, saw the real Qiu Anren open the sleeves of the Empress Dowager, and said coldly: "The Empress Dowager is self-respecting!" ”

The Empress Dowager sat on the ground crying, chanting the name of Cabinet Elder Qiu, crying like an ordinary woman in the house.

He is Qiu Anren, so who am I? The waiter thought to himself.

And after that day, he never saw Elder Qiu again. Qiu Ge Lao died in an accident, and the smile on the face of the Empress Dowager was exactly the same as when all the concubines of Emperor Longwu went to the funeral.

Qiu Anren laughed again.

It's really happy, from now on, there will only be one Qiu Anren.
