The days passed. Changfeng runs errands in Jinyi during the day. After a business trip, he went to visit Wynne.

Wynne's body is not good after all.

In the evening of this day, Wynne led Sugar Candy to the Yongding River for the last time to fish for Wang Ba.

A fat, old shadow and the shadow of a small doll are reflected in the water. The light of the setting sun shines on the surface of the river, reflecting their shadows red.

Sugar Candy reminded Wynne: "Grandpa, the pole is bent." ”

Wynne was silent.

Tangtang thought he didn't hear clearly, so he shouted again: "Grandpa, the pole is bent!" ”

Wynne still didn't speak, nor did he lift the pole.

Sugarcandy turned her head to look, and Wynne closed her eyes. She pushed with her hand, and Wynne fell like a mountain of flesh by the river.

Sugar Candy shouted in panic: "Come on! Grandpa fainted! ”

More than a dozen eunuchs standing next to him hurriedly surrounded him.

Liu Jin hugged Huai'en, and used his hand to probe Huai'en's snort, and he was still angry.

Liu Jin shouted: "Quick! Carry the ancestor back to the outer house. No, don't touch the ancestor yet. Hurry up and ride a horse to call the imperial doctor to the Yongding River. ”

The eunuchs were in a mess.

At night, Wynne's outhouse.

The inner phase is critically ill, and the outer house is crowded.

The three elders of the cabinet, the six Shangshu, the five military governors, and the big and small nine secretaries are all here.

They weren't waiting for a feast. Emperor Hongzhi regarded Huai'en as a benefactor. The emperor's benefactor was critically ill, and the officials naturally came to express their grief.

Of course, some people are false grief, and some people are real grief.

There are also people who are making small calculations. For example, Li Guang: Hehe, if the old minister returns to the West, Xiao Jing, the chief of the celebrant supervisor, will take over the palm seal. Wouldn't I have a chance to be promoted to chief pen?

Chang Feng is holding sugar candy, and he is also in the crowd. Huaien is not only his backer, but also his grandfather who sincerely respects him.

On the sickbed.

Wynne tried to speak, but couldn't say a word.

He heard the Imperial Physician next to him talking.

"It should be the thirst-quenching disease that caused the old inner phase to reach the limit. It's tonight. ”

"Alas. Once the emperor is here, let's report it truthfully. ”

Wynne heard the Imperial Doctor's conversation and felt no fear. He felt as if his life was a big dream.

Huai En is a scholarly family and a high-ranking official.

He was born in Dai, Suzhou. His father, Dai Xi, was a civil official to the Taifu Siqing. His brother Dai Lun is the left squire of the military department.

Since ancient times, the king has been like a tiger. A certain time Dai Lun did not do well, which angered Xuanzong.

In a fit of rage, Xuanzong beheaded Dai Lun. Xuanzong was brought up by Taizong, and he taught by word and deed. He seems to have a soft spot for the "melon vine copy" created by Taizong.

As a result, Dai Xiwen was also arrested and imprisoned in Fusi Prison in Jinyi Weibei Town, and was tortured to death.

Soon after, all the adult men of the Dai family died in the dark Beizhen Fusi Prison.

Because of his young age, he escaped death. But there is no escaping the sin. was castrated into the palace as a eunuch and given the name Huai'en.

Those who are grateful are also grateful!

Kill the whole family, and ask others to be grateful. What do you think?

But Wynne let go of his hatred. Because he knows that hatred will only bring death to himself.

He worked diligently in the palace and served the three emperors of Xuanzong, Yingzong, and King Yuer. Together with Emperor Xianzong and Emperor Hongzhi, he is a real veteran of the Five Dynasties.

During the reign of Xianzong, he was finally reused and entered the celebrant prison.

During this period, he was kind enough to protect the prince with strategy and forbearance. Protected a bunch of virtuous ministers who offended the concubine party.

Interestingly, in the Hongzhi Dynasty, he actually supervised the Jinyi Guard, who tortured his father to death.

From the young child who was convicted and castrated, to the inner minister of the Ming Dynasty. Sixty-two years in the blink of an eye.

Life is like a dream, and a bottle is still a river.

Wynn breathed a sigh of relief, because he wanted to see Emperor Hongzhi one last time.

Emperor Hongzhi was his master. But deep down in his heart, he regarded Emperor Hongzhi as he watched grow up. Son.

This friendship has gone far beyond the master and servant.

A rumor suddenly sounded in the outer house: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The civil and military generals in the outer mansion knelt down with hulala: "Welcome to the emperor's holy drive." ”

Emperor Hongzhi walked into the outer house in despair: "How is my old minister?" What about the Imperial Doctor? ”

The doctor of the Tai Hospital and the three imperial doctors knelt down in front of Emperor Hongzhi.

The doctor said: "Your Majesty." The thirst-quenching disease of the old minister is terminal. The deadline could be tonight. The ministers are incompetent and can't save the life of the old minister. The ministers are guilty, please ask the emperor to punish them. ”

Emperor Hongzhi maintained the sanity of a Ming monarch, and he did not blame the imperial doctors: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the way of heaven." You have no sin. ”

Emperor Hongzhi walked quickly to the sickbed.

When Huai En saw Emperor Hongzhi, it seemed that he had returned to the light. There was a flush on his face. I was able to speak.

Huai En said: "The old slave can't give the emperor a salute. ”

Emperor Hongzhi sat on the edge of the couch and stared at the old man who had protected him for more than ten years. Holding his hand tightly: "The imperial doctor said." You just need to recuperate in peace and spend ten days and a half months. ”

Huaien smiled bitterly: "The emperor doesn't have to comfort the old slave. The old slave has heard the call of the ancestors in the ancestral tomb of the Dai family in Suzhou. ”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Alas, it was my negligence. I will issue an order to redress the injustice of the Dai family in Suzhou. ”

Huai En shook his head slightly: "The Dai man is dead." The old slave was a eunuch. After the death of the old slave, the Suzhou Dai clan will no longer exist in the world. Those who are not rehabilitated are useless. ”

"Your Majesty, before the old slave dies, I have something to say to you."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "The old minister just talked. ”

Huai'en said with a faint breath: "The inner court and the outer court, the inner eunuch and the civil official, are like gourds and scoops. Press the gourd to float the scoop. ”

"The emperor must not only reuse the eunuchs, nor can he only reuse civil officials. Not everyone is like Wang Shu and Ma Wensheng. Not everyone is like an old slave. ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I remember. ”

Huaien said again: "It is a good thing that the emperor and the queen have a deep relationship with each other. But for the sake of the country, please take some concubines. ”

Emperor Hongzhi didn't agree to Huai'en about this matter, and only said "hmm".

Huaien coughed a few times and continued: "Please treat Wang Zhi well and don't pursue him anymore." Although he has had it, he has also done it. ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "I know." Wang Zhi has truly made meritorious contributions to the imperial court. Although I will not use him, I will let him live comfortably in Nanjing. ”

Wynne said, "Your Majesty." The old slave was a eunuch and had no biological children. But he recognized many righteous sons and grandsons. Two of them, the old slave would like to remind you."

"One is Liu Jin. He was too ambitious. The emperor cannot be reused. ”

"One is Changfeng. He was upright by nature. But please don't let him be the commander of the brocade guard. In the past dynasties, there were almost no good deaths. ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Chang Feng is shrewd and capable, and he has made countless great contributions to me. Last month, I told him that I would hand over the brocade guard to him. ”

Huai En said: "Leaving the Jinyi Guard in his custody does not necessarily mean that he should be the commander. ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "I know it in my heart. ”

Wynne said his last words: "May all the civil servants of the Hongzhi Dynasty be virtuous and all the generals brave." May the Ming Dynasty prosper and the people live and work in peace and contentment. May the emperor live a long life. May the Han family survive in the world for thousands of years! ”

With that, Wynne closed his eyes.

A generation of virtuous eunuchs, the soul returns to his hometown.

There are two more shifts in the evening. Although the update time is a bit uncertain. But 50,000 words a day is a must.
