Chapter 63 Orphanage for the Disabled

The Chu Palace, at night, was lively, and when Wei Zheng came, Li Kuan was packing his things.

Seeing Wei Zheng, Li Kuan quickly told his itinerary.

See Li Yuan and return to Lingnan Chunzhou.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Kuan with a weird smile, looked at him hairy, and didn't say anything, just gave Li Kuan a lesson as usual, and talked about some ways to govern the country.

This made Li Kuan look confused, I was packing up my things and preparing to leave, and it was strange that you didn't say the reason why I was confined for a month.

Faced with this strange behavior pattern, Li Kuan chose to turn a blind eye and move forward according to his own plan.

Early the next morning, Li Kuan came to the palace and applied to see the emperor.

It's just that as soon as the application was typed, Li Kuan saw the eunuch at the gate of the palace, and sighed in his heart that the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were really miserable, and they had to start working early in the morning, and they had no human rights at all.

Well, at the beginning, Li Kuan felt that he was kind, but when he thought of it, he felt that he was really guilty.

The eunuch saw Li Kuan a little stunned from a distance, and then showed a regretful expression, quickly restrained his regret, and walked towards Li Kuan quickly.

Li Kuan looked at the eunuch who was walking straight towards him and was a little puzzled, and looked back to see if there was anyone else behind him.

The eunuch came straight to Li Kuan and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, please accept the decree." ”

Li Kuan said that he was really confused.

"Li Kuan, the king of Chu, left his post without permission, fined him for one year, canceled the post of Chunzhou Assassin, moved to Shuo Fang, and ordered him to take office three months later."

Wei Zheng, I thank you.

Li Kuan gritted his teeth.

He now understood why Wei Zheng had to let him stay in the Chu Palace's mansion for a month, which was a dark operation to get him from the south to the north.

That's a dangerous place.

Li Kuan's heart was angry.

At the same time, he also knew why Wei Zheng had a weird smile when he watched him pack his luggage last night.

Made, this old man definitely knew early on that he was going to be transferred to Shuofang, and knew the time.

Wei Zheng: This transfer was signed by the old man.

After the eunuch sent the decree, he did not leave, but looked at Li Kuan with a look of wanting to speak.

This attitude makes Li Kuan very unhappy, you have something to say.

The eunuch looked left and right, pointed to a no-man's land on the side, and whispered: "King Chu, can you please go over and talk about it?" ”

After hesitating for a moment, Li Kuan nodded and said casually: "I just applied for an audience with the Emperor, and I'm still waiting for news." ”

The eunuch said that it was all a trivial matter, and ordered a small eunuch to wait here.

Li Kuan and the eunuch came to a no-man's place on the side, and then waited for the other party to speak.

The eunuch didn't say anything unnecessary, and went straight to the point: "I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu got all the retired old eunuchs in Chang'an City to Lingnan to castrate pigs. ”

Looking at the complicated expression on the other party's face, Li Kuan raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "What?" There's an enemy in there, and you want me to kill him? ”

The eunuch hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Highness is joking, we are all a group of crippled people, how much hatred can we have. ”

"That's it."

The eunuch was in a low mood, and showed some embarrassed expressions.

Frowning, Li Kuan began to look at the eunuch, this guy is probably in his forties, according to the physical fitness of the eunuch, he will have to retire after ten years.

"You are afraid that you will leave the palace in your old age, and like those old eunuchs before, you will have no fixed place to live and live."

"So you want to ask about the situation over there? Do you want to go over too? ”

The eunuch nodded, yes, that's what he meant.

Their eunuchs are very miserable, some palace maids were gifted by the emperor or prince when they were young, and they couldn't leave the palace, and when they got old, they still had a broken palace to live in, and only a few of them could retire in the palace, and most of them would be expelled.

The crippled people, no one appreciates, and the hands have no power to bind the chicken, the family has long been unknown, there are no offspring, the smarter ones will do some small business with the money they have accumulated over the years, and they may be able to settle down in their old age.

But more often than not, the money is robbed, stolen, cheated, or spent by themselves, and then sleeps on the streets, and dies tragically in no man's corner.

Even for them, planning a sweeping errand in the palace and being bullied by the new little eunuch, but it is good news to have something to eat.

Now that Li Kuan can have a good place to go here, he is really excited and wants to inquire.

Isn't it just castration for pigs, and he can go to eat and live and pay money.

He can also go to the Gadandan department to study and intern to lay the foundation for his future work.

The longing eyes of the eunuch made Li Kuan stunned.

I thought you would hate this job, you, a eunuch with a high status, should be able to accumulate a lot of money, and when the time comes, you can just do some business, why did you inquire so many years in advance.

I don't understand.

However, if he didn't understand it, Li Kuan still said: "The pig breeding factory in Lingnan will get bigger and bigger, and it needs more manpower. ”

"However, I think that a eunuch with a position like you, saving more money, some connections, and doing some small business, can't he also provide for his old age?"

The eunuch laughed miserably: "Your Highness, we are still a thing when we leave our current position." ”

"I think I'm a very conscientious person, after my godfather was kicked out of the palace, I have been using my identity to take care of him, but the number of times I have been out of the palace, the shop he opened is still swept up with money and run away, and I can't chase it back."

"In the end, I always used money to support him, I hired someone to serve him, and the person who served him took my money and bullied him."

"I can't guarantee that in my old age, I will be able to meet a conscientious godson like me in my old age."

Li Kuan was silent, the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty were different from the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, the factory guards of the Ming Dynasty gave those eunuchs the power to protect themselves, had their own armed forces, and they could also interfere in politics, and it was easy to take care of the people outside the palace.

The eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty did not have this ability, except for a very few at the top, most of them may be as the eunuchs said after retirement, which is extremely miserable.

At this time, Li Kuan's heart softened, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "I have a way to help you." ”

The eunuch looked at Li Kuan excitedly, what can I do.

"You can invest in an orphanage for the disabled."

An orphanage for the disabled?

What is this, the eunuch does not understand.
