Chapter 185: Ying Zheng's Gift, Zhang Yi's Old Mansion
Zhang Ji left Zhangtai Palace, originally planning to go home with the startled salamander, but it turned out that the startled salamander had already taken the lead and did not wait for him.
And Gai Nie, Meng Tian, Li Si, Xuan Qian, Six Sword Slaves and others who were waiting outside the door did not ask Zhang Ji what they talked about with Ying Zheng.
Gai Nie is not a character who likes to talk much, although he is friends with Ying Zheng, he understands what kind of degree and boundary he should grasp as Ying Zheng's courtier, guard and friend. And he also knew that Yingzheng would definitely consult with him.
Meng Tian is very clear about his position, he is a military general, and he doesn't understand many conspiracies and tricks, and he doesn't need to understand them.
And Lees ...... He is a smart man, and smart people know that there are some things that should not be too curious, especially when it comes to the Queen Mother.
Although everyone was outside the hall just now, the roars and smashing sounds in the hall could barely reach everyone's ears.
Judging the situation has always been Li Si's forte, and he will not touch this mold at such a time.
What's more, Li Si understands his position.
Unlike Zhang Ji, he is a confidant and like-minded friend who has entered Ying Zheng's heart, while Li Si is a pure courtier, not even a confidant, if it weren't for Ying Zheng, no one is available, maybe it won't be his turn to listen to Chang Yu's affairs now.
But he wasn't in a hurry at all.
The icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow, he has joined Yingzheng early enough, and he is conceited and talented, and there will be no shortage of opportunities to gain Yingzheng's trust and promotion in the future, and he doesn't have to rush at all.
Xuan Jian and the Six Sword Slaves were always silent, they were a sharp sword in Ying Zheng's hands, and they didn't need to think too much.
After Zhang Ji came out of Zhangtai Palace, he left Xianyang Palace under the guidance of the white-haired eunuch Ling, but this eunuch Ling still followed Zhang Ji after leaving Xianyang Palace.
"Mr. Zhang Ji, Mr. Wang Shangnian's merit, a mansion and twelve palace maids are specially given."
From the slightly sharp male duck voice, it can be heard that this eunuch Ling is a eunuch, not those eunuchs with intact bodies, but Zhang Ji did not show any unusual eyes.
"Thank you for your kindness." Zhang Ji leaned over to Xianyang Palace, and then bowed slightly to the white-haired eunuch Ling, "The tired eunuch Ling leads the way." ”
"This is all the king's order, and the old slave does not dare to take credit."
The eunuch Ling hurriedly waved his hand and returned the same salute.
As the eunuch of the Qin Palace, he controlled all the eunuchs and chamberlains in the palace, and successively served the first king of Zhaoxiang, the first king of Xiaowen, and the first king of Zhuangxiang, and served the current King Yingzheng of Qin. And the eunuch Ling, who has served in Xianyang Palace for so many years, is naturally not a stupid person.
There are not a few courtiers he has secretly rectified over the years.
However, the palace has its own set of survival rules in the palace, and he knows who can be messed with and who can't be messed with, so he can live to this day.
Ying Zheng's attitude towards Zhang Ji can be seen as long as he is not blind. In the face of matters involving the Queen Mother, only Zhang Ji was left alone to discuss, and all other henchmen were excluded, what kind of trust is this?
And the mansion given to Zhang Ji by Ying Zheng shows his favor to Zhang Ji.
However, Zhang Ji is also interesting.
Historically, the princes and ministers of the Qin State had been disgusted when they heard the voices of their mutilated eunuchs. Don't look at them, they may smile at themselves, but they don't know how to scold themselves behind their backs.
The eunuchs who read countless people have been exposed to the Qin kings in the past dynasties, and naturally they have also learned the art of observing words and colors.
He can see through the disguised respect of someone and the contempt hidden in his eyes.
But Zhang Ji didn't seem to have any dislike for him because of his mutilated body, but seemed to really respect him, which couldn't help but make the eunuch Ling feel a little surprised and appreciated.
In the final analysis, although eunuchs like them with mutilated bodies and no descendants are greedy, can they still take away these wealth after death?
At most, it was distributed to the clansmen, and then the rest were all those of the King of Qin, which was also the reason why the successive Qin kings acquiesced to the eunuchs around them to accept bribes appropriately.
In addition to wealth, these physically disabled eunuchs care most about dignity.
is physically disabled and inferior, and the more they lack something, the more they care about something, so these physically disabled eunuchs care more about dignity.
It's a pity that there are too few people who can treat these physically disabled eunuchs equally in this era.
Of course, Zhang Ji is an exception, and that's only because he comes from the afterlife.
In the eyes of later generations, a mutilated eunuch is just a poor person.
In addition to sympathy, Zhang Ji was also a little jealous of these eunuchs.
Throughout the ages, these eunuchs who served in the palace were the least to be provoked, they had no descendants, so the king may believe in them more at some point, and they could not be easily provoked. No matter how high your status is, you don't know if the eunuchs in the palace will give you a knife by chance.
A certain pig butcher general who ignores the eunuch's request for peace because he has a large army, and enters the palace at night to brush a copy of a single copy, will use his life to prove that the eunuch should not be underestimated in the future.
Zhang Ji chatted with the eunuch Ling along the way, and after getting off the horse, he took the initiative to help the eunuch Ling who was a little unsteady, and at the same time quietly put a piece of gold cake into the eunuch Ling's hand. And this eunuch Ling is also a personal spirit, and it looks as if nothing has happened to put the gold cake in his sleeve.
"My property is still in Xinzheng and has not been transferred to Xianyang, and I am a little nervous at hand, so don't dislike it."
The eunuch order was respected and he got the wealth, so he naturally smiled and led Zhang Ji into the mansion given to him by Yingzheng.
From the outside, it didn't seem to feel like much, it seemed that it was just the mansion of an ordinary powerful family, but after entering the mansion gate, Zhang Ji was really surprised by the scale of this mansion.
The scale of this mansion is even larger than Ji Wuye's mansion, and the architecture is luxurious. There are many rocks from the head of the countries in the house, and there is an artificial lake that is artificially dug and chiseled and connected with Weishui, and there are many golden, white and black small fish in the lake, swinging their tail fins and swimming freely in the lake, and the gold, white and black colors form a unique landscape in the lake under the sunlight.
"This is a salmon, produced in Suishui, and it is also a gift from the king."
Zhang Ji continued to wander under the guidance of the eunuch order, and the pavilions, carved railings, flowers and plants in the house were readily available, especially the carved pictures on the wooden utensils in the house, including the carved railings, were lifelike, giving people a feeling of ascending to a fairyland.
Although he was given such a mansion by Yingzheng, Zhang Ji was a little curious.
The mansion given by Ying Zheng is most likely confiscated by a certain Qin king from a certain courtier, and then a little cleaning and decoration can be used as a reward for the courtiers who have made meritorious contributions. It's just that Zhang Ji is a little curious, who is this mansion, can it be so chic, and is it qualified to be built near the palace?
This mansion is low-key and humble on the outside, but noble and solemn on the inside, luxuriously decorated but also classical and elegant, as if it was made by a high-ranking and powerful celebrity.
In addition, although the houses in the house are extensive, each house is arranged in an orderly manner, and the slightly luxurious houses in the middle are surrounded by the plain houses on the outside, like a resting place for the guards, and the main house is surrounded to form a protection. In addition, the uneven height of the courtyard walls around the mansion is also equipped with secret controls and stepping stones, which can obviously be guarded as a small city wall, and the whole mansion is orderly and secretly in line with the way of soldiers.
"The first owner of this mansion, sir, you should be more familiar with it than the old slave."
Zhang Ji suddenly had a guess in his heart.
"This is the mansion of the former Great Qin Xiangbang, Wu Xinjun Zhangzi!"
