Liu Jin changed into a big red robe, as long as the emperor is not there, he is the first person in this palace, he raises his head wherever he goes, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, Qiu Ju, Luo Xiang, and Gao Feng, who followed him back then, are now even more headed by him.

"Your Majesty has rested." Liu Jin tore off his hat, and needless to say, the little eunuch on the side picked him up, and someone brought a basin of water over to let him clean his face and hands.

Liu Jin looked up at the delicate-skinned little eunuch, "Are these basins and hand towels new?"

"It's new," the little eunuch said with a smile, "The ones used by Gong Liu on his fair day have all been replaced with brand new."

"Yes." Liu Jin's nasal cavity snorted, "It's a sensible person, we see a lot of people in the courtyard, it's messy, do they have heads?"

"Back to Gonggong Liu, it is all from the direct palace supervisor, who is responsible for sprinkling and sweeping."

"What's your name?"

"Back to Father-in-law Liu, the slave maid is called Liu Min."

"Ouch, a temporary change of last name?"

Smack,

The young man named Liu Min knelt down directly, crying and begging for mercy, "The slave maid does not dare to deceive Father-in-law Liu, the slave maid is indeed surnamed Liu, and she has been surnamed Liu since she was a child, and she has no courage to dare to climb Father-in-law Liu in her heart."

"Get up, we didn't say what we want to do with you. The surname is Liu Hao, this family, why don't you be my godson? If you agree, go outside and tell the gang that you will be their leader."

Liu Min was immediately overjoyed, "Godfather is on top, my son is kowtowing to you!"

Liu Jin was full of ambition and laughed, "Good, good, good. Let's go to work."

Such an operation is really called the pinnacle of life.

On the side, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, Qiu Ju, Luo Xiang, and Gao Feng were drooling when they saw it, and they were even more flattering to Liu Jin's posture.

Liu Jin wiped his hands and turned to look at the five of them, and smiled, "Sit down, let's eat two bites together." I've been serving Your Majesty all night, and I haven't even taken a sip of tea."

As soon as he said this, all five of them poured him tea.

"No, what's the relationship between our brothers?" Liu Jin patted Gu Dayong on the shoulder and motioned to the five of them, "Sit down."

"Father-in-law Liu." Gu Dayong squinted his eyes and smiled very kindly, "From now on, the celebrant is you......?"

Liu Jin didn't answer directly, but said, "Xiao Jing has been sent by the emperor to guard the tomb of the first emperor, and Wang Yue, Chen Rong and others here have all gone to Nanjing, and each has its own home. The emperor also explained that the first emperor was a generous and benevolent monarch, and the people he used were not extremely vicious, so we can't take revenge for personal gain."

As long as they leave the Forbidden City, Liu Jin will be able to tolerate them.

The change of eunuchs is more intense than that of civil officials, and as soon as the emperor changes, the eunuchs who were favored by the Hongzhi Dynasty in the past know that their limit has arrived.

Xiao Jing, Chen Rong, and Wang Yue of the celebrant supervisors, and Li Rong and Changqing of the internal official supervisors...... Li Rong also has some relationship with Li Guang, when Emperor Hongzhi killed Li Guang when he was emotional, he actually regretted it in his heart, and Li Rong stayed like this.

But he doesn't have this relationship with Zhu Houzhao, and the relationship between these people and Zhu Houzhao is not as good as the old people in the East Palace, so the big change is certain.

In the East Palace, Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, Qiu Ju, Luo Xiang, etc. are all old people who have a lot of contact with him on weekdays and have been trained for several years, so why don't they use their own people? ….

Moreover, these people are actually thinking about a future after following them. Being a leader, too fair, not at all to protect your shortcomings, in fact, no one is determined to work for you.

In particular, important departments such as the ceremonial supervisor, the imperial horse supervisor (in charge of the soldiers), the internal official supervisor (in charge of construction), and the imperial supervisor (in charge of the construction office) are even more to replace their own people, so that they will never dare to go to the west to the east, this is the beauty of their own people, and the palace supervisor (in charge of sanitation) and the Shangyi supervisor can also keep the elderly.

In real history, Liu Jin would take his seven little brothers to run to Emperor Zhengde and cry, arousing the emperor's sympathy, and then dividing these duties.

But this space, serving this Zhengde, they don't dare.

Liu Jin is the master of ceremonies

, Gu Dayong and Ma Yongcheng are among the eunuchs of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, Qiu Ju's palm seal inner official supervisor, Luo Xiang's palm seal royal supervisor, Gao Feng's palm seal Shangshan supervisor, and Zhang Yongling's imperial horse supervisor, all of which require the emperor's nod before they dare to make a move.

Among them, the power of the celebrant is the heaviest, but politics is like flowing water, it is not immutable. The celebrant of the past dynasties held the right to approve the red in the hands of the eunuchs, but in fact, Liu Jin did not have it.

Because of the important recital of the cabinet vote, Zhu Houzhao will see it himself, and he can't accept that the key steps of Zhu Pen's imperial approval and re-sealing are handled by eunuchs. This is actually equivalent to the eunuch being the emperor.

Of course, Liu Jin is still in charge of all eunuch affairs in the power of the celebrant eunuch, and the celebrant is the "first agency", in fact, all other eunuchs, divisions, and bureaus are under the control of the celebrant eunuch, so Liu Jin is still the actual first eunuch, and the specific daily work in charge is done by the division of labor among the eunuchs.

It's a bit like a pattern in which a mayor presides over the overall work and several deputy mayors are in charge of the specific work.

Among them, the most important is that the eunuch will be in charge of the Dongchang and the Imperial Prison (Jinyiwei), except for the particularly powerful Jinyi Wei leader during the Jiajing period, the other Jinyi Wei commanders have to kowtow to the father-in-law in the palace.

The logic of this is that the closer you are to the emperor, the greater your power.

"Zhang Yong went to the northwest to supervise the army, Wei Bin ......" Liu Jin shook his head, "Don't mention him anymore, there were eight of us brothers back then, and now there are seven left." Thankfully, the sun has finally risen, and you all have a place to go."

"The emperor has agreed?" Gu Dayong was excited.

Liu Jin 'tsk, his mouth smacked, and he pretended to be strange and said, "If the emperor doesn't speak, brother, I dare to say this?" Don't worry, you guys, when our family picks the emperor to be happy, we will arrange for a few of us!"

The dust finally settled, and these people clenched their fists and pounded the table.

Ma Yongcheng also said: "On weekdays, the emperor is strict with us, and I originally thought that he would not ...... It seems that the emperor still remembers the friendship of our people!"

Liu Jin chewed a piece of pork, and he smiled, "Your Majesty, our family still understands. He must remember the old feelings, but you should think about Wei Bin again."

Wei Bin's matter is a layer of haze in their hearts.

"Whether it's a palm print eunuch or a pen eunuch, these hats are not easy to wear. Lao Ma just said that he thought His Majesty would not arrange it, this is the first mistake, why not? There are many people up and down the palace, and of course Your Majesty depends on us old people. But then again, Your Majesty has read friendship, once we are slaves and maids are sorry for this friendship, it will be Wei Bin's end." ….

When he said this, these five people had no intention of eating.

Liu Jin observed that his words were extremely strong, and when he saw this, he smiled and interrupted, "Okay, it's not so terrifying. Haven't we been serving by Your Majesty's side for so many years? Actually, it's just one sentence."

"What?"

"That's what the courtiers taught me." Liu Jin leaned his head forward, "Your Majesty doesn't want this mountain to look at the people who are high on that mountain. This is especially true for us. Foreign ministers don't become officials and have a home to go back, but those of us who have no roots, the palace is home, and if we can't stay in the palace, we won't be able to live. Therefore, we will always remember in our hearts that there is a sun on our heads."

"That's natural, we all grew up with Your Majesty, and we can't do anything outside of eating."

"Yes, I will definitely serve Your Majesty well."

"I also met a royal history yesterday, hey, I still don't look down on us, if you don't have Your Majesty's protection, you can't do it."

"Wei Bin back then...... If it weren't for digging the corner of the East Palace, there would definitely be a chance to save him."

A few people were gossiping, and they should all know who they should rely on.

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are like this, no matter how horizontal they are outside, the emperor will always be their heaven, how powerful Wei Zhongxian is during the Apocalypse, the Emperor of the Apocalypse accidentally fell into the lake, he was the first to jump down to save people, because the eunuchs all know that some civil officials want to break their bodies into thousands of pieces, and all their reliance is on this emperor.

And it can only be a certain emperor, for other emperors, you don't have a relationship with others

has been in place for a long time, how can there be that kind of affection and trust?

Liu Jin took a cup of tea, shook it lightly in his nose and sniffed, "The past is gone, look forward." In the palace in the future, a few of us have the final say, according to Your Majesty's temperament, good things in the palace are ours, and we can't run away if something bad happens, so the rules of the palace must be made clear to them, which one is not good for Your Majesty, or take the palace bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold the mother, not to eliminate Your Majesty, our family will kill him first."

At the end, it was a little cold.

Gu Dayong skimmed the others and echoed, "Gonggong Liu's words are right, anyway, Gu Dayong only has such a sun. Whoever causes trouble will carry it himself!"

Liu Jin stretched, "It's time to sleep." Great use, Your Majesty still needs someone on your side, although Your Majesty sleeps well, but what if you wake up at night and have orders?"

Gu Dayong was happy to take this job, which showed that Liu Jin really trusted him, and he himself had more opportunities to contact the emperor.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao has not slept well these days, he is a little worried about the affairs of the northwest, if Wang Shouren leads the troops to the expedition, he is not worried at all, but that guy doesn't know if he has realized something.

In the second half of the night, the emperor really began to call people, and he said that he was young after all, and even if he couldn't sleep, he was very energetic, and he couldn't lie down in bed.

Gu Dayong stayed all night, woke up in an instant, and then beckoned someone to bring in the brazier, hot water, and dragon robe for heating.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon bed with his hair scattered, "Changed you tonight?"

Gu Da used his face to be meaty, and he didn't look good when he smiled, but he still had to laugh hard, and he was still clever with his hands, and he never made a mistake when he worked, "I beg Your Majesty to forgive me, Gonggong Liu said that Your Majesty's dragon and tiger spirit, every sleep is until dawn, so I will go to rest first, so that I can have the spirit to serve Your Majesty during the day." At night, I changed my slave and maid, and anyway, I always have to think about how to serve Your Majesty." ….

"In the end, it's the people around you who are intimate." Zhu Houzhao's impression of Gu Dayong is okay, he is a little 'addicted to officials, he likes to talk about pomp and circumstance, pretending to be a big official, but he is careful in doing things, and he has been serving by his side when he was in the East Palace, "I have already told Liu Jin that the supervisors, divisions, and bureaus in the palace must be in charge of me. If you have a big family and a big business, you can't let me worry about it alone."

"Yes, Your Majesty's heart is filled with all directions in Kyushu, these eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and the slaves and maids are disciplining Your Majesty."

"There must also be rules in the palace, all the details of the errand must be clear, useful, from tomorrow you will feel the situation, how many eunuchs, how many palace maids, if you can cut some of them, especially those older palace maids, you don't have roots and don't care about the outside, they still have family members, if you can let them out of the palace, it's fine."

Gu Dayong was originally putting on his shoes for him, but at this time he took two steps back and knelt down, "Your Majesty is really the heart of a living Bodhisattva, in the past, when I was in the East Palace, it was rumored in the palace that as long as it was an honest errand and a solid errand person, in fact, His Majesty was the best for them. The slaves and maids thanked His Majesty for their favor first!"

"Get up. If you remember my preferences, just like you, as long as you honestly follow the rules and tell me the truth in every word, then I will definitely protect you."

"The slave understands, the slave will not lie to His Majesty in this life."

"Okay. By the way, Liu Jin should have told you too. You will be on an errand in the celebrant from now on."

Gu Da nodded innocently, "No matter where the slave is on an errand, the duty of the slave is to serve the emperor."

The emperor unintentionally floated out, "Then what did Liu Jin and you say? Did you ask for anything?"

"Gonggong Liu said that all of us can only have one sun, and that is Your Majesty."

"That's what he said?" Zhu Houzhao laughed lightly, "You have to carry forward your honesty more in the future, I like it, and what you hear and see in the palace, you must also tell me in time." You all know me, I am not a foolish person, but there are always some people who don't believe in this evil, these people you have to open your eyes to see clearly for me."

Gu Da muttered in his heart, this is not simple, in fact, just after asking Liu Jin about the situation, he had some doubts, "Okay, slave maid listen to Your Majesty's words."

"Something you want to ask?" Zhu Hou looked at him with a different expression.

Gu Dayong raised his head and scratched his cheek, "That Father-in-law Liu...... Do you want to talk to Your Majesty?"

The emperor curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said five words slowly, "You can watch it."

Looking at it?

Gu Dayong couldn't understand it even more, what does this mean?

96.
