After the current emperor ascended the throne, in addition to taking power, he thought that he had done three major things, the gentry paid the grain in one piece, the land was divided into the mu and the fire was returned to the public, these three things were what his father Xiao Yu wanted to do but did not have time to do. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Father and son, one person in the world, one person in the world, Xiao Yu strongly admired the first minister of Dazheng Zhang Jiangling's whip law new policy, but unfortunately did not do the full work has passed away, the current emperor Xiao Xuan is Xiao Yu personally taught, after the throne continued his father's policy, and at the same time on the basis of Xiao Yu to further extend a whip law, so there are now three new deals.

As soon as the three new policies came out, the treasury was abundant, but the price was not small, and many powerful people of the family were resentful because of this, but fortunately, it was the beginning of the dynasty, and the power of the powerful was far from reaching the point of restraining the emperor, but it did not set off much chaos.

In late spring, a fine spring rain drifted on the imperial capital with the spring breeze.

At this time, in a dark room in the deep palace, a lamp, a bed, there was a small figure standing in front of the bed, and there were many tall figures standing on both sides of the bed, which could not be seen clearly in the dim light.

An old voice came from the darkness: "Fade your clothes." ”

The many figures had stripped off the white cloth and linen clothes on the little figure's body, and it was slippery.

The voice continued, "Drink the medicine." ”

One of the figures took out a small gourd, pulled the stopper, and poured the liquid into the mouth of the young figure.

"Steady. ”

The young figures lay on the bed, bound by ropes from the figures.

"Mouth-to-mouth. ”

Another figure stuffed a boiled salted duck egg into the young figure's mouth and sealed it with a thin strip of cloth.

The owner of the old voice slowly walked out of the gloom, a thin old man with a rickety body, dressed in a gray cloth robe, with wrinkles on his face, and his appearance was intimidating.

The old man stretched out his hand and said softly, "Knife." ”

A young eunuch dressed in white linen held a short blade more than a foot long in both hands, and bowed down to the old man's hand.

The old man picked up the knife, shook it in his hand, and said calmly, "Open the net." ”

Half an hour later, a freshly baked little eunuch bent over and walked out of the dark side room.

Outside the side room stood a man in a black python robe, his arms naturally drooping, and his hands hidden in the narrow cuffs.

The man is wearing a black carved dragon gauze crown, and the temples under the crown have been frost white, which is clearly more than ancient and old, but his face looks like a middle-aged person who is not confused about his age, especially the white face is beardless, and he looks more and more skilled.

The little eunuch walked up to this person, peeked at it, lowered his head, and whispered, "Master." ”

This person didn't pay attention, his eyes fell on the rickety old man who followed out of the side room, bowed slightly, and said softly: "There is Master Laosun." ”

The old man shook his head again and again and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

The man did not continue to speak, and led the little eunuch to turn and leave.

Walking along the corridor, the footsteps of the big eunuch in black python clothes were silent, only the slightly stumbling footsteps of the little eunuch and the sound of rain outside were mixed together.

The world calls the eunuchs in the palace, mostly called "eunuchs", but they don't know that in the court with strict rules, not everyone dares to put the word "eunuch" on the top of their heads, nearly 10,000 eunuchs in the imperial capital, and only a few people can be called eunuchs.

Haohao court, with 12 eunuchs, 4 divisions, 8 bureaus, collectively known as the 24 yamen, according to the legal system, only the eunuchs of the 24 yamen can be called eunuchs, and there are left and right young eunuchs, plus a few of the celebrant eunuchs, and no eunuch can be called a eunuch.

Daqi follows the old system of Dazheng, and among the 24 yamen, the master of ceremonies is the head and has the heaviest authority. The eunuch in charge of the seal is just an official position of the fourth grade, but he has the power to approve the red, which corresponds to the power of the cabinet chief assistant, and is known as the internal minister. Daqi imitates the ancient style, does not respect yellow but respects black and red, and among the eunuchs in the world, only the eunuch with the palm print of the master of ceremonies can wear a black python robe.

This black python robe passed through the corridor, and the eunuchs along the way saw it, whether it was the eunuch of the palm print of which yamen, or the red man who was favored in which palace, they all stood aside, bowed their heads and stood up.

There were only three points of fear in the eyes of these eunuchs, but seven points of awe.

Today's eunuch surnamed Zhang, a hundred years old, is known as Mr. Ping'an, and Lan Yu, the master of Tianji Pavilion, and Fu Zhongtian, the governor of the Dark Guard Mansion, are known as the three masters of the imperial court.

Speaking of this 100-year-old, his own experience can be described as a legend among eunuchs. When Xiao Yu lived in the northwest, he was just an inconspicuous little eunuch in the palace of the central capital, and was later favored by Xiao Yu, called as a close attendant, and after Xiao Yu entered the Eastern Capital to control the government with the respect of the regent, Zhang Baisui worshiped the eunuch Sun Shilin as a teacher at the behest of Xiao Yu, and then met the Taoist master who had not yet risen in the Laoshan Change.

After Xiao Yu ascended the throne, Zhang Baisui was in charge of the ceremonial supervisor and commanded the twenty-four yamen, but at this time, Zhang Baisui had no real power externally, and he was restrained internally by the Peony Chief's ink book, which could only be regarded as a ********. After Xiao Yu passed away, the new emperor Xiao Xuan trusted this "little eunuch" who grew up with him very much, and called him "big companion", and still appointed him as the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies and the eunuch who held the seal, and at the same time, in order to suppress the "foreign minister" Lan Yu, Xiao Xuan gave Zhang Baisui the right to approve the red, and at this time Zhang Baisui became a real "internal minister".

In general, the old emperor relied on Lan Yu, while the new emperor trusted Zhang Baisui more.

Along the way, Zhang Baisui walked neither fast nor slow, and the distance of each step seemed to have been accurately measured by a ruler, not a single point, not a lot of points. The little eunuch behind him had just been cleansed, and even though he had taken the secret medicine in advance, he was still a little difficult to chase at this time.

Zhang Baisui's voice sounded, and it was clearly audible in the rustling rain, as light as water: "There is an old saying that three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, even if it is a eunuch, it is the same." During the reign of Zheng Zhengming, Zhang Jiangling took over the power of the cabinet, but the reason why he was able to stand up to the fashionable and young Emperor Shenzong was that the queen mother contributed, and the other was that the eunuch who joined hands with the master of ceremonies was in charge of the eunuch. ”

The little eunuch didn't seem to understand.

Zhang Baisui continued: "Little cub, since you have entered the palace, then remember a sentence, eat hard, only to be a master, today's knife is just a small meaning, compared to those nameless white people outside the palace who are like lonely souls and wild ghosts, I don't know how much better, I can endure hardships, I will be patient, I will be clever, I can endure my temperament, and I will always come out." ”

The little eunuch whispered, "Got it, Master." ”

Walking to an intersection, Zhang Baisui waved his hand and beckoned a Bingbi eunuch who was already waiting here, and said softly: "Take this little monkey cub to the Inner Court Academy." ”

On weekdays, the eunuch Bingbi, who greets him with a smile on his face, respectfully agreed, turned his head and showed a gentle smile to the little eunuch, and then took his hand and walked in the other direction.

Being able to enter the Inner Court School means that in the future, the minimum is also a young eunuch of the twenty-four yamen, which is naturally worthy of this incumbent Bingbi to show a smile, after all, it is right for people to go to tea and cool, and it is right to accumulate more incense and favor while they are still in position.

After the two left, Zhang Baisui straightened up his already square clothes and walked in the other direction.

The wide corridor in this direction was flanked by sword-wielding guards in black clothes and black armor, motionless and silent, like statues, only the rustling and rain outside the corridor.

Zhang Wuxian quietly walked through this corridor, came to the palace gate at the end, and gently pushed the door in.

The hall was covered with a thick carpet, and smoke curled from the tortoise and snake copper furnace.

There was only one person in the hall, dressed in black clothes, standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands, looking through the open window at the white rain and mist shrouded in Miyagi.

It was only at this time that Zhang Baisui slightly aggravated the sound of footsteps, and was no longer as silent as before, so that the people in this hall would know that he was coming, and then lowered his voice and said softly: "Your Majesty, the spring is cold, it is better to be careful." ”

The man who was the Ninth Five-Year Venerable didn't turn around, but just asked softly, "It's okay, where is Zhinan?"

"Jiangdu, Xie family. ”

"This girl has been out for a long time, Zhang Daban, you will take a trip to Jiangnan for me and bring her back. In addition, I also checked the incident reported by the Dark Guard Mansion. ”

Zhang Baisui lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and said softly: "No." ”
