Chapter 207: Born to be Sad
The towering walls on both sides were painted with new paint, and unlike before, the painters painted pictures of beautiful women dancing on the walls.
It is said that His Majesty asked the painter to draw the dance of a certain noble concubine on it.
Just to make the concubine smile.
And the concubine was indeed happy for several days.
Eunuch Wei walked quickly in the palace, and when he was almost at the end, he raised his head and looked at the city wall and sighed repeatedly.
I don't know how much beauty has been stifled by this high wall.
Many eunuchs and palace maids urinated into the palace.
Most people have poor family conditions, and they can only be sent to the palace early to do some chores in order to barely make ends meet.
Life is like this, parents will always leave what they think is good to their children.
Although my father and mother also know that entering the palace is not the best choice, they have no choice, if they follow them to live, they will only become poorer and poorer, and there is even the possibility of starvation.
This is the sorrow that belongs to the eunuchs and the palace maids.
Two walls can stifle their infinite hope, and it is difficult to think of other hopes.
There is also the sorrow of civil and military officials, Praetorian Guards and others.
In peacetime, the struggle for power and profit stirred up the imperial court.
During the war, he packed up his belongings and fled to the imperial capital, completely ignoring the rise and fall of the country.
This is the sorrow of the imperial court.
As for the Praetorian Guard...
They don't have a choice.
From the moment they became the Praetorian Guard, they were the people of the palace, and the ghosts of the palace died.
Yes, the greatest sorrow of the Praetorian Guard is that there is no choice, no choice
Of course, the greatest sorrow is the sorrow of the "royal".
Just because they are royal, they have lost their freedom since they were born.
Everything has to be done according to the "royal will".
Yes, they are just wretched creatures with too much power.
Eunuch Wei stood under the city wall, with a lot of thoughts in his head, and there was a sound of frolicking and slapping not far away in his ears.
At this time, Eunuch Wei felt that his eyes became warm, as if something had broken through the restraints and surged out wildly.
He reached out and wiped it, and it turned out to be his tears.
He muttered, "I originally thought that Fang Tianzheng could solve my pain, I was ready to be buried with the palace, but I never thought about it... After all, there is still hope. ”
He looked at the courtyard in front of him, his expression became desperate, and his eyes slowly became empty.
......
"Your Majesty, Grandpa Wei asks to see!"
After a shout, Grandpa Wei stepped into the courtyard.
The man in the dragon robe didn't see him, or he couldn't see it.
Blinded by a long black cloth, he staggered and groped his way forward.
"Hey, hey, hey... Aifei, where are you?"
"Aifei, if you are caught by a widow this time, you are going to be spanked!"
"Don't run, don't run, the widow sees you!"
......
The woman hiding in the courtyard saw Eunuch Wei, and her body shook involuntarily.
Eunuch Wei smiled at her.
Then, Eunuch Wei knelt on the ground and shouted: "Weichen, I have seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
The emperor was slightly stunned and tore off the black cloth on his eyes.
After seeing Eunuch Wei, the smile on his face disappeared.
The emperor asked angrily: "Who let you in without my permission? You have ruined my good deeds, and I will kill your head!"
Eunuch Wei glanced at the concubine with his spare eyes, and then said calmly: "Weichen is arrogant, and he deserves death." ”
The emperor stood in front of Eunuch Wei, and there seemed to be anger burning in his eyes.
