Chapter 3 The First Smell of the Rivers and Lakes

He Fu was in a complicated mood at this time, as a diligent and studious eunuch, he was suddenly shocked by this news that he could no longer devote himself wholeheartedly to studying, but fortunately, in the past two years, he has studied with a group of Hanlin, and he has learned Qi Kung Fu very well, and he has quietly finished a day's class.

"Sister, it's actually smiling proud of the rivers and lakes, or the plot eighty years ago!Eunuch, "Sunflower Treasure Book", "Evil Sword Spectrum", "Zixia Divine Skill", "Star Absorbing Dafa", "Dugu Nine Swords", Huashan Sword Qi Sect, Yue Buqun ......" Lying on the bunk bed at night, He Fu's mood fluctuated: "Hongzhi was sold into the palace as a eunuch in the early spring of the seventh year of Hongzhi to the end of the ninth year of Hongzhi now, and he has been in the Ming Dynasty for almost three years. I always thought that I was living in the official history, and I wanted to get ahead after studying hard for more than two years in the inner study hall, not to mention one person under ten thousand people, at least I got rid of the identity of being a coolie, and I was able to mix with the leadership of knowing books and literacy. Alas, Jianghu, you have to change your strategy, you have to practice martial arts, you don't have much time left for yourself, only nine years, the eighteenth year of Emperor Hongzhi will hang, once the son of heaven and a courtier, it is difficult for Eunuch He to protect himself, it is difficult to provide shelter for himself, it seems that he is going to kowtow to Eunuch He again."

During the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the study hall was on holiday, and the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty were on holiday, and they did not go to work until the Lantern Festival in the second year. He Fu came to the celebrant and asked to see Eunuch He. He Ding is the chief eunuch of the Inner Court, and his status is slightly above that of Dongchang and the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

The celebrant naturally knew He Fu, and did not trouble him, and soon after reporting it, he led him to see He Ding. He Ding has become more and more a great eunuch in the past two years, although his face is relatively kind, Hongzhi is still a Ming Jun, and he is naturally more strict with the supervision of Tai, and the atmosphere is more positive. Although He Ding said that he had a family, but the emperor was more shrewd and did not dare to mess around, and He Ding was developed, and the He family in the countryside naturally prepared poems and books to pass on the family, and was unwilling to take the road of eunuchs. This is also why when buying He Fu, he voluntarily increased the price to five taels of silver, and the He family already regarded themselves as a family member with poems and books, so they naturally focused on their moral reputation. Another reason why He Ding values He Fu is that he is the only one who survived the children bought by the He family in the same batch, Emperor Hongzhi is more frugal, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace have been reduced and reduced, and the last time he expanded the recruitment of eunuchs, he had no choice but to do it. In addition, He Fu reads his own books well, and the Hanlin also has a very high evaluation of him, He Ding naturally values He Fu, and the eunuchs have a very good attitude towards He Fu, never make difficulties, and even flatter He Fu a little.

After seeing He Ding, He Fu consciously kowtowed to He Ding nine times:

"The child has seen the master!"

He Ding smiled and did not stop it, allowing He Fu to finish kowtowing. He Ding is in his fifties, and his family is also poor and very young and was sold into the palace by his family, and he likes He Fu very much. Since the first time he was given a name, He Fu relied on Xiaocheng in the inner study hall to remember his skills, and his reading results amazed many Hanlin, and after He Ding knew about it, he called over and recognized his grandson.

"Why do you think about the monkey cub today, come to see our house, you usually study hard in the inner study hall, why did you come today!" He Ding stared at He Fu with a smile and asked.

He Fu naturally didn't want to see He Ding, although he recognized his grandson, he would admit it when He Ding was in his fifties, but every time he came to kowtow and kneel, he was reluctant, and the soul consciousness of the later generations was very resistant, although he was very grateful to He Ding for taking care of him.

"The child wants to practice martial arts" He Fu looked at He Ding with hopeful eyes, for the things that are requested from He Ding, he has always mentioned it directly, not playing tricks, He Ding, as a shrewd old eunuch, playing tricks can only disgust him. He Fu knew very well that he had everything in the inner study hall remembered, as long as He Ding wanted to know, there was no way to hide it, it was better to be frank and look for He Ding for benefits.

"What have you heard recently, let's listen to it" He Ding was surprised by He Fu's request to practice martial arts, but he was not surprised, but he still had to ask why He Fu wanted to practice martial arts, He Ding was not afraid of He Fu's benefits, and he was afraid that He Fu had no need for He Ding.

"After Laba, the child heard about the rivers and lakes from the inner study hall, and the Demon Sect robbed the true martial arts sword of the Wudang faction and the "Taijiquan Sutra", so that the child knew the rivers and lakes, and let the child start to practice martial arts. After He Fu finished speaking, he also looked at He Ding very much with great anticipation.

He Ding naturally knew about the robbery of the Wudang faction's true martial arts sword and the "Taijiquan Sutra". In fact, this matter was assigned by Li Guang, the governor of Dongchang, and naturally there is no way to say this matter explicitly, so he can only understand it. The predecessor of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, Ming Sect, Zhu Yuanzhang relied on Ming Sect to become the emperor, and naturally became jealous of Ming Sect and other Jianghu forces, and after becoming the emperor, he relied on Jinyiwei to collect the Jianghu forces, and carried out a co-optation, differentiation and suppression of Mingjiao, and the Ming Sect was taboo of the "Ming" national name, changed to the Sun Moon Divine Sect, sent eunuchs and Jinyi Wei to monitor each other and led the Sun Moon Divine Sect to suppress other Jianghu forces. During the Yongle period, the imperial court requisitioned 300,000 people to overhaul Wudang, which made Wudang Mountain's prestige among the people of the Ming Dynasty rise sharply, and the natural forces endorsed by the imperial court rose quickly. After Hongzhi ascended the throne, he made great efforts, and after eight or nine years of cleaning up the court, it was stabilized, and he began to suppress the forces in the rivers and lakes, and the Wudang faction was selected and became a chicken that killed chickens and set an example for monkeys. Although the strength of the Wudang faction was not seriously weakened after this incident, the ancestor saber real martial arts sword and the inheritance treasure "Taijiquan Sutra" were robbed, but the reputation of the Wudang faction in the rivers and lakes was seriously hit.

Looking at He Fu's hopeful eyes, He Ding smiled and found the head of the seal ribbon supervisor to take He Fu to the place where the eunuchs practiced martial arts, and began He Fu's long martial arts training career. For the little eunuch to practice martial arts, the big eunuch still supports it, and his own people can rest assured, but most of the little eunuchs are keen on power scheming after seeing the power struggle in the palace, and they don't attach much importance to the study of martial arts. Eunuchs belong to eunuchs, and foreign ministers are naturally resistant to eunuchs, especially capable eunuchs, who are very guarded. The little eunuch will grow up to be a sword in his own hand in the future, which is also the reason why He Ding has no objection to He Fu's martial arts.
