Among the countries of Huangtian Jingzhou, the least in the palace are the eunuchs who serve.

I have already explained the key to this, and the main point is that eunuchs are often more loyal than other ministers.

It is most clear that a eunuch without an heir can only enjoy glory and wealth by relying on his master. Therefore, most eunuchs are loyal all their lives as long as they have a master.

Of course, there are exceptions, just like the Great Qin Dynasty, which originally used Luoyang as the national capital, was destroyed because the eunuchs held the Son of Heaven hostage to become the country, and promulgated a series of cold-blooded iron laws with the hands of the Son of Heaven to make the people of Great Qin rise up, and the Great Sui was able to take advantage of the void and destroy Great Qin in one fell swoop.

However, apart from this one case, there have been few cases of eunuch rebellion, and only in general terms, eunuchs were indeed much more loyal than others.

Therefore, every emperor and king is indispensable to be an old eunuch who can take care of the details of his life, and this is true for all countries.

As I said before, there is an exception to everything, and there is not a single eunuch in the imperial palace of Korea, or there has never been a eunuch in the whole of Korea.

Perhaps because of the long tradition passed down from our ancestors, it has become the norm in Korea.

There were only ladies in the palace, and there were no men except for the royal family. Dragged down by this, the palace maids in South Korea will suffer much more than the palace maids in other countries.

At this time, many palace maids dressed in gauze and silk in the palace walked into an extremely splendid courtyard with melon and fruit wine cups, and the courtyard was called Golden Scale. The flowers here are full of flowers, bright purple and red, and they are beautiful.

In the midst of the flowers sat a man, in his thirties, dressed in a yellow robe embroidered with flying birds, lacking majesty, but full of vigor.

The man's appearance is not handsome, and he even shows a slight old state, his back is slightly hunched, and his complexion is not good-looking.

His name is Liu Dan, and he is the Korean prince who is above 10,000 people under one person.

The palace maid walked slowly, placed a group of exquisite wine glasses and fruit plates on the square table in front of Liu Dan, and then slowly retreated.

It's like a gust of wind.

Liu Dan didn't use the wine glass, but he looked at the backs of these palace maids and was silent for a long time, but there was no lust in his eyes.

"I have long told my father that I should add some eunuchs to the palace, so that these palace maids will not be too tired. ”

A young man in his twenties beside Liu Dan raised his head from among the flowers, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness still doesn't mention this matter, the rules passed down by the ancestors can't be changed for a while." On the contrary, it will provoke the anger of the saints, and it is not good for His Highness. ”

Liu Dan shook his head, "I also know, but rules are dead, and people are alive." It's not as good as before, and if the grandfather of the former emperor is still here, maybe he will agree with my statement. ”

"Your Highness still doesn't mention this matter much. ”

Liu Dan nodded and looked up at the sky, "I heard that there were ghosts harming people yesterday, although it was not as good as the ghost slaughtering the village a year ago, but after all, it is time to use some means." ”

The young man frowned slightly, "Actually, I don't understand why so many ghosts have suddenly appeared over the years, as if nothing happened before in the past few years. Could it be that the wind in South Korea has changed?"

Hearing this, Liu Dan knocked lightly on the table, and the young man reacted and hurriedly apologized, "Weichen talked too much, please forgive Your Highness." ”

Liu Dan was silent for a moment and then said: "Actually, it's okay to talk about it in private, just be careful not to be listened to by others, and when the time comes, it will be used as a sharp arrow, even if you have it."

The two pairs of mouths couldn't tell clearly. ”

Wechen made a note of it. ”

Liu Dan turned his head to look at the man, "Jiang Xianna, you have been with His Royal Highness for three years, and His Highness has always thought that you have the style of a countryman, but the time has not yet come." I don't want you to be taken advantage of in this kind of place. ”

Jiang Xiantou buried his head even lower, "Weichen doesn't dare to be the name of a national scholar!"

After smiling, Liu Dan said: "His Royal Highness said that if you can, you can, modesty is a good thing, but being too modest is like being arrogant." ”

Jiang Xian did not speak again.

Smashing his mouth, Liu Dan hesitated for a moment and then picked up a grape from the table and put it in his mouth, daring to chew it three or four times before he heard a joke behind him, and his voice was a little sharp, "Brother Huang, why are you still so greedy? ”

Liu Dan frowned slightly, obviously he didn't like this person very much.

The man walked over, and his yellow shirt was particularly conspicuous.

This person's name is Liu Mao, he is the second prince of South Korea, seven feet tall, and the court is not dusty. And his appearance is even more eye-catching, and it is really a bit stretched to just use handsomeness to modify his appearance. The eyebrows are like willow leaves, the eyes are like peach blossoms, the face is white, and the lips are slightly glowing with a faint black, so the person's style is suddenly reversed, and he has become strange from handsome.

"Today is the time for Princess Houliang to send me to Han, if the imperial brother has this face, it is not good, don't you want Princess Houliang to think that I am a hateful guest?"

Liu Dan swallowed the grape and barely showed a smile, "Why didn't the second brother read in Yonghe Palace today?"

"You can't always read books all the time, and the book says that combining work and rest is a good thing. Liu Mao replied: "I was tired of reading today, so I wanted to go around the palace, so I unfortunately didn't notice and turned to the golden palace of the imperial brother, and happened to see the imperial brother stealing grapes, so I reminded him." Brother Huang, don't think that I have been secretly watching you, second brother, I don't have this idleness. ”

Liu Dan didn't make a sound, and Liu Mao said again: "As long as the imperial brother is worried, he will be greedy, and I still understand the imperial brother, the second brother." I just don't know what the imperial brother is worried about? Didn't I mention to my father a few days ago about 'raising eunuchs'? Although the second brother and I also agree with the imperial brother's proposal, I still hope that the imperial brother will not be in front of his father about this matter, and if he annoys his father and is punished, the second brother will not be happy. ”

At the end, Liu Mao looked at Jiang Xian, who was sitting next to Liu Dan, and said: "I have heard Mr. Jiang's name for a long time, although I have only seen Mr. Jiang three times in the imperial city, I have already admired Mr. Jiang very much in my heart, but I don't know if Mr. Jiang has time to discuss the general trend of the world with His Royal Highness?"

This is already the most blatant digging into the wall, but Liu Dan has not changed color at all, just pinched another grape and put it in his mouth.

Jiang Xian smiled bitterly and bowed to Liu Mao, "Contemptible talents are shallow in learning, and they really don't deserve the love of His Highness, so please ask Your Highness to find another famous person." ”

The corners of Liu Mao's mouth hooked slightly, "Since Mr. Jiang looks down on my straw bag and rice bag, then I will give up, but if Mr. Jiang has the heart to discuss the article with His Royal Highness, he only needs to knock on the door of my palace, and His Royal Highness will definitely greet him barefoot." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. ”

At this time, a palace maid outside the Jinlin Palace trotted over all the way, and after seeing Liu Mao, she saluted Liu Dan, "Princess Houliang, please see you." ”

Liu Mao clapped his hands, "Good things are coming, since the imperial brother has something important to do, the second brother and I will also leave." ”

Turning around, Liu Mao flickered one step at a time, and when he walked outside the gate of Jinlin Palace, he met Tang Qiuya and Wei

The old two hugged their fists and said, "How long have you not seen Princess Qiuya?" ”

Tang Qiuya saluted, "I have seen His Highness, His Highness has a good reputation." ”

Liu Mao shook his head with a smile, turned his head to look at Wei Lao, who was following Tang Qiuya, sneered, and moved away.

The palace maid came belatedly, and after making a gesture of please, Tang Qiuya led Wei Lao towards the Jinlin Palace.

Seated.

Liu Dan and Tang Qiuya sat opposite each other, and Jiang Xian and Wei Lao each stood behind them.

A palace maid poured a full glass of wine for the two people seated, and Liu Dan and Tang Qiuya raised their glasses and saluted each other, and drank them all.

"I haven't seen Princess Qiuya for a long time, but now it's like a hibiscus out of the water, and it's getting brighter and brighter. ”

Tang Qiuya was stunned and then covered her mouth and chuckled, Liu Dan was a little stunned.

Tang Qiuya explained: "I just met His Royal Highness the Second Prince of your country at the door, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince also said such a thing in his mouth, couldn't it be that the two of you brothers discussed it? ”

Liu Dan also smiled, "This shows that Princess Qiuya is really out and more gorgeous." ”

The two exchanged polite words, and then asked about their recent lives with concern before they finally got to the point.

Tang Qiuya said: "The 100,000 spirit stones and 5,000 Xuanyin Iron required by your country have already entered the gate of your country, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ever needed to count them?"

Liu Dan shook his head, "I can naturally trust Princess Qiuya, I don't need to count it, it's just... ”

Tang Qiuya pretended to be unclear, and Liu Dan frowned. When Liu Dan was about to remind, Tang Qiuya smiled, "It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country is very organized, and now that I see it, it is indeed the case." ”

Organized, in another way, is inflexible.

Liu Dan smiled, "It's not as young as Princess Qiuya's youth, and now in the age of the next generation, how can you still be as smart as Princess Qiuya?"

Clever, in another way, is cunning.

Tang Qiuya's eyes rolled, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, Wei Lao took out a glass vial from his arms. The bottle contained a slightly cloudy, viscous liquid, unknown for some reason.

Tang Qiuya put it on the table, "Your country seeks spirit stones, you don't need to think about it. Seeking Xuanyin iron can also be used as a refining tool. It's just that the little woman still can't figure it out, what is the use of your country asking for this rebirth water? The water of the past is just a famous water of the past life, and there is a world of difference between the word "the water of the past life" and the word "the afterlife". It has no cultivation use, and it can't be used as a guide for refining weapons, but the resentment in it will cause great harm to the spiritual mansion. These days, the little woman is thinking hard and can't think of a reason, can you please tell His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Liu Dan retracted half of his outstretched hand, looked at Tang Qiuya and just smiled.

After a moment of stalemate, Tang Qiuya smiled, stretched out her hand and moved the bottle of raw water in front of Liu Dan, "The little woman is just mentioning it casually, and it is just to satisfy her insignificant curiosity, if she collides with His Royal Highness the Prince, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for forgiveness." ”

Only then did Liu Dan take the raw water and hand it to Jiang Xian.

"All the things requested by your country have been delivered, and I don't know what the little woman asks for?"

"Please rest assured, Your Royal Highness the Princess, you and I have been trading for so long, is it possible that you can still do such a thing as crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?"

"It's the little woman who is too careful. ”

The two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, like confidants they hadn't seen for many years, talking recklessly.

Inside the Jinlin Palace, it is really full of spring.
