Chapter 2: Entering the Palace
In the courtyard, panic but not chaos.
Dozens of eunuchs were surrounded by officers and soldiers.
Several of them were wounded.
Under the guidance of the old eunuch, the officers and soldiers are helping them deal with it.
Someone's robe was lifted, and with a casual glance, Wang Li quickly turned his head.
I'll go!
I can't bear to look at it!
I really can't bear to look at it directly!
It's too spicy for the eyes!
Flesh and blood blur!
That blood, like a fountain!
Maybe it was fainting blood, maybe he was too hungry in his stomach, or maybe it was a series of fright, Wang Li's face turned pale and trembled.
Just about to faint, he was held by the officers and soldiers who stretched out their hands.
The shouting gradually stopped.
Just now, the "Jinyi Guard will be here soon" in someone's mouth attracted Wang Li's attention.
Aside from the Ming Dynasty, which dynasty had Jinyiwei?
However, they did not mention which emperor was the emperor.
No one mentioned what this place was.
Wang Li wanted to know, but he didn't dare to ask.
When he was young, surrounded by officers and soldiers, several eunuchs strode in.
The leader was an old eunuch with a wrinkled face.
He looked around the audience, obviously displeased: "What? Why only 13? ”
"Gonggong Li, there were originally 55, and the remaining 42 were killed by the assassins; Seven husbands and more than 30 little fathers-in-law were also poisoned! ”
"Assassins? What's the use of explaining to me? Will the Queen Mother listen to your explanation? ”
The eunuch known as "Gonggong Li" snorted coldly, and shouted angrily: "The queen mother specified that she wanted 24 people who had just been purified, and she was very anxious!"
If I don't make up enough numbers, I won't be able to keep my head, and you won't want to live! ”
"That'...... Grandpa Li, what do you mean ......"
"That's it! I'll transfer a few more here, you can rest for the night for the time being, and enter the palace early tomorrow morning!" ”
The sound fell, and Gonggong Li turned to leave.
The group of officers and soldiers seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
As a result, 13 new eunuchs, including Wang Li, were transferred to a large house.
Hungry and thirsty, tired and sleepy, Wang Li could no longer support it, and lay on the couch like a dead pig.
That's it!
So be it!
Leave it to fate!
Alas!
What about the Traversal?
In front of many officers and soldiers, it's not a fart!
Just as he was about to close his eyes, a pig-like scream sounded.
Wang Li turned his head with difficulty, looking for the source of the sound.
It turned out that several old eunuchs were holding medicine bottles and giving medicine to the new eunuchs!
suddenly remembered that he was not a eunuch yet!
He sat up and panicked.
Nima!
I don't want to get stabbed!
However, so many officers and soldiers are guarding outside!
If you want to escape, you may not be able to save your life!
What to do?
Can anyone tell me what to do now?
Which god will point you across?
Really urgent!
Online and more!
I'll it! It's too late!
An old eunuch came with a medicine bottle, already lifting his robe!
"Uh...... This father-in-law, I'll do it myself! ”
In a hurry, he quickly pushed away the old eunuch's hand.
Because of the sword wound on his thigh, Wang Li's robe was blood-red, and even his shoes were stained red with blood!
The old eunuch obviously didn't believe it, and asked, "This little father-in-law, can you really take medicine yourself?" ”
"Yes! I can do it myself! It's true! Don't bother your father-in-law! ”
"Hmmm! Not bad, not bad! ”
The old eunuch actually nodded!
And, grinning!
This smile is even more evil than the smile of the dragon king!
While thinking about countermeasures, the old eunuch spoke again.
"You can walk on the ground on the day of purification, and you can also take medicine by yourself, you are the second one I have ever seen!"
While speaking, the old eunuch gave a thumbs up!
This appearance should be a sincere compliment!
"Uh...... My father-in-law has won the prize! ”
Wang Li snatched the medicine bottle, and then turned sideways: "Father-in-law, who is the first person you said?" ”
Wang Li opened his mouth to ask, not really wanting to know, just to distract the old eunuch's attention.
Then, find a way to break him apart.
Unexpectedly, the old eunuch sat on Wang Li's couch with his eyes half-closed.
"That was six years ago!
I heard that that person is the godson of the 9,900-year-old master: the current Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, the Left Governor of the Imperial Palace, the Young Master, and the Prince Cui Chengxiu! ”
"Nine thousand nine hundred years old...... High...... Lady Cui? ”
Wang Li's eyes widened.
I'll go!
Nine thousand nine hundred years old!
Except for Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party at the end of the Ming Dynasty, who still has such a powerful title?
That's right, it's Wei Zhongxian!
"Nine thousand years old" is just his abbreviation.
The full name is "Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Years Old", which is only one hundred years less than the emperor!
It's just that Wang Li has never heard of "Cui Chengxiu" in the mouth of the old eunuch.
The Ministry of Works, this position has been heard.
If the history books are not mistaken, when Wei Zhongxian's power leaned towards the government and the opposition, it should be the apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty!
It may also be within two months after Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne!
It's just that......
That Cui What show, is he really a eunuch?
Also, if Emperor Chongzhen succeeds to the throne, he is only 16 years old now, and he has no son at this time, right?
If it is said that the emperor of the dynasty is Zhu Youxiao, it is even more wrong!
It seems that probably, maybe, maybe, Zhu Youxiao should not have a son!
In this case, where did the "prince and princess" come from?
Could it be that this Ming Dynasty is not the same as the Ming Dynasty that I know a little?
Or, Secretary Shi is wrong?
However, since it is Wei Zhongxian's power to the government and the opposition, the eunuch Cui Chengxiu serves as the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and he has a lot of official positions, which is also reasonable.
It is not strange to hang the official position of "prince and princess" to eat empty salary.
Thinking of Zhu Youxiao, Wang Li thought of Zhang Yan by the way.
This Zhang Yan is not the queen of Emperor Liu Ying of the Han Hui Dynasty, but Zhang Yan, one of the "Five Cleopatra Queens", the queen of Zhu Youxiao!
According to the history books, this person has a beautiful and plump face, a face like Guanyin, eyes like autumn waves, a mouth like a red cherry, a nose like a hanging gall, and a fine and clean teeth......
It is rumored that at the time of the draft, 15-year-old Zhang Yan "passed eight levels in a row" from 5,000 beauties, was unstoppable, and went all the way to the finals, and was spotted by Zhu Youxiao.
Since Wei Zhongxian is still there, Zhang Yan at this time is definitely no more than 23 years old!
I'll go!
Wang Li shook his head and slapped his head.
Their lives are almost gone, they are all about to become eunuchs, and they still have the heart to think about other people's wives?
Hurry up and find a way to get rid of this old eunuch!
While thinking about how to speak, the old eunuch patted Wang Li on the shoulder.
"This little father-in-law, you can take medicine by yourself, and if you dare to take medicine by yourself, you can be regarded as a talent!
This time I entered the palace, and it was the queen mother who personally selected the eunuchs!
If you can choose, you will do something in the future!
At that time, please bring more help to the little father-in-law! ”
While speaking, the old eunuch was like a trickster, and he had a large piece of silver in his hand!
"The old slave's name is Qin Yuanliang, the little father-in-law must remember it!
If he is developed in the future, please ask the little father-in-law to help him more!
Please! ”
The silver, in front of dozens of people, was forced into Wang Li's hands.
I'll go!
This...... Like, it's really silver!
Such a big piece, there are three or four taels without half a catty!
If you go back to your own time, how much will it be worth!
I'll go again!
In this house, there is more than Qin Yuanliang who openly stuffs silver!
Several other old eunuchs are also stuffing money into different new eunuchs!
What kind of era is this?
The old eunuch sends silver to the new eunuch?
It's like the old fritter in the company who bribes the second stunned person who just came in!
was stunned, several old eunuchs noticed him, and they all walked this way!
"Little father-in-law! The old slave's name is Qu Weizhong, please bring more ......"
"Little father-in-law, the old slave's name is Li Xianda, please bring me a lot......"
it!
Stuff the silver one after the other!
Hehe! The traverser is different!
I just crossed over, and I was going to make a big deal right away!
But can you slow down?
By the way, can you find a box for me?
How can I get so much silver?
Depend on!
Whoever you are, don't lift my robe! I don't need to take medication!
Yes, that's it, get in line!
Send them one by one!
Hey!
The queen personally selected?
The "queen" in their mouths, will it be Zhang Yan?
If you are chosen, it will be nice to have a young Cleopatra with eyes!
Ha ha! Thank you for your good words!
Don't forget each other!
If it's really developed, you all follow me, eat and drink spicy!
Ha ha!
……
To put it mildly, I finally sent a few old eunuchs.
It's just that my stomach is croaking, but I am told that I can only eat tomorrow!
Nima!
For three days and three nights, not a drop of water entered!
I was stabbed in the thigh, but as long as I didn't get tetanus and didn't get infected, I shouldn't be fine.
This is not a talent.
The other 12 people in this room were stabbed underneath, and they neither died of pain nor starvation!
If they can live until tomorrow, they are the real talents!
Admire!
I really admire!
Outside the house, there are always a large number of officers and soldiers guarding, and there is almost no possibility of escape.
Of course, Wang Li didn't think about escaping.
Because, if a small mountain people go outside, they don't know how long they can live!
The scene of officers and soldiers wantonly killing people still haunts me.
Moreover, the old eunuch sent so much silver, which just shows that there must be a fat gap after entering the palace!
It's just a matter of time before you soar!
When you get enough money, you will leave the palace immediately!
Hire a group of bodyguards, hire a group of servants, buy a mansion, marry a few wives......
Hey!
Of course, you have to be selected by Zhang Yan, hehe!
The sky is getting darker.
Inside, no one spoke, and heavy gasps and screams continued all night.
Wang Li clung to the pile of silver, and then wrapped his robe tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.
At dawn, rice porridge and flatbread were delivered.
After a full meal, the 24 new eunuchs were loaded into ox carts.
Wang Li couldn't hold it anymore and finally closed his eyes.
……
I don't know how long later, several slaps were slapped in the face.
Under the pain, Wang Li opened his eyes suddenly.
With the support of several old eunuchs, Wang Li jumped out of the carriage and limped behind the team.
Is this the Forbidden City?
How is it different from what it looks like on TV?
There are a lot of guards, why don't you see beautiful palace maids?
Dig it!
That palace is magnificent!
Palace...... Peaceful...... Female......
Uh, no, it should be Kunning Palace!
"Smack-"
Another slap in the face, it hurt hotly.
Turning around, an old eunuch was glaring at Wang Li: "You, Wang Ergou?" ”
There were guards standing all around, Wang Li didn't dare to fight back, and nodded.
Looking at each other, Wang Li suddenly understood something.
Quickly lowered his head, and didn't dare to look around.
Hum! Old guys!
I remember you!
Wait for Lao Tzu to soar, have your good life!
was gritting his teeth, several palace maids came, Wang Li glanced at it hurriedly, and immediately lowered his head again.
The old eunuch and the palace maid whispered a few words, and shouted: "Aunt Lan has an order: go forward one by one, sign your name, and reward ten taels of silver!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Li was overjoyed again.
The sleeve was already heavy, and soon another sum of silver came into the account!
Hehe, the silver in the palace is too easy to earn!
No wonder there were 100,000 eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty!
The team slowly moved forward, and Wang Li suddenly thought of a big thing!
