Chapter 31: Eunuchs and Eunuchs

These snowy days, in the eyes of the poor, are always extremely bleak. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The heavy snow in this summer, I don't know how many poor people will freeze to death in the whole Hokyo.

It's just that in the eyes of those old men in Hojing, the heavy snow in this summer is really rare, and you can take the opportunity to sigh at the vastness of the world and the unparalleled beauty.

Although in this world, there have been the so-called seven powerhouses, and there are some people who don't take the Great Zhou, which has been established for hundreds of years, to heart.

But the Great Zhou is the Great Zhou after all, or the unparalleled Great Zhou in the world, or the Great Zhou with infinite heritage.

This year's tributary gifts, both in quality and quantity, are not as good as in previous years. In other words, in the last ten years, it is not as good as a year.

The old eunuch who was in charge of counting the gifts couldn't help but sigh deeply, last year there were still some longevity-prolonging elixirs that could be greedy for ink, and this year, this thing, I am afraid that I can't use a tael of silver for greedy ink.

The old eunuch glanced at the official in charge of sending the gifts from the Great Chu State, and coughed viciously twice, trying to use the meaning of the cough to make the Chu envoy understand the dissatisfaction in his heart.

However, this envoy was as if he hadn't heard it. However, the little eunuch who followed the old eunuch every day hurriedly ran over, beating his back and rubbing his chest, very attentive.

It's a pity that this sycophant is really not the right time, and the old eunuch kicked the little eunuch aside.

is ready to express King Zhou's dissatisfaction with Chu Envoy's righteous words, and perhaps his own dissatisfaction.

only to find that the envoys of the state of Chu had already gone away. Only these five carts of coral, hawksbill turtle, pearl, and emerald remained. These mundane things may be regarded as treasures in the homes of ordinary rich people.

But taking these things as a tribute to King Zhou can be said to be almost rude.

What's the matter, in recent years, King Zhou has become more and more careless, just following the big sacrificial wine to work blindly in the square where Jiuding is placed, and he doesn't know what he is busy with.

Could it be that this Great Zhou Kingdom is already so poor that it needs to be weighed and sold by Jiuding?

The old eunuch shook his head, took a string of tribute beads from the car, and stuffed them into his arms.

That's it, since the master of this Great Zhou doesn't care about the affairs of this Great Zhou,

Our minions of the Great Zhou still honestly make their own floating wealth.

Those high-ranking princes and lords don't look down on these pearl scallops, and the fire diamonds in the Western Regions that they keep warm may be worth thousands of times these things, and maybe the dragon liver and phoenix gall that they occasionally eat at banquets are worth tens of thousands of times that of these cars of treasures.

But what does this have to do with small people like us who were born in ordinary people. They can't look at it, we just can look at it.

The old eunuch put his hand into his arms again, touched the huge string of tribute beads, and suddenly felt that this snowy day was also a little warmer.

"Little thief, keep up, go back to the palace" The little eunuch immediately followed up, as if it wasn't him who kicked him just now. The smile and flattery on his face were full: "Ancestor, what treasure did you get, and let us open our eyes?"

The old eunuch rolled his eyes and made a gesture to fight: "Little thief, what treasure can I get? What treasure can I get? That's the king's treasure!"

"Eh, the king's, the king's baby" The little eunuch hurriedly slapped his mouth.

"Well, if you say the wrong thing, you should be beaten, and when you entered the palace with me, someone was cut off because she said the wrong thing."

"Yes, yes, what the ancestors taught"

"Hmph, over the years, the king has become more and more lenient with his subordinates, and he has developed the bad temperament of your group of dogs. I think back then, when King Li was in power, who dared to be like you now, he would have been taken off his head a long time ago. ”

The old eunuch's tone couldn't help but soften as he spoke, shook his head one after another, and sighed again: "That is, today's master is too relaxed, and these princes below are becoming less and less interested in the king." A few years ago, there were still so many rare treasures in the tribute objects, such as Pixiu, mermaids, and various medicinal materials that had been hot for tens of thousands of years. Hey, it's better now, pay tribute with some things, and I'm not afraid of being taken off by the king's might. ”

"Ancestor, I heard that the king seems to be 、、、" The little eunuch looked left and right, and the closest people were ten zhang away, so he lowered his voice and continued: "I heard that the king seems to be a little immoral, otherwise why is it in this big summer, and suddenly it snowed heavily in Beijing." It's still a big sun everywhere else."

"Little killer, how dare you talk nonsense!" The old eunuch hurriedly covered the little eunuch's mouth, and the powerful one seemed to want to cover the little eunuch to death like this: "You dare to discuss the king's affairs." You don't want a head, I still need a head!"

The little eunuch tilted his head and blinked, signaling that he knew. Only then did the old eunuch let go of his hand: "Don't spread these things around." The Great Sacrifice Wine God is incomparable, and there is nothing he can't see or hear about this thing in the pickaxe capital, as long as he wants to. ”

"So, the king is really 、、、"

"If you dare to say a word more, I will let you not see the sun tomorrow!" The little eunuch stood in place thoughtfully, and after a while, he found that the old eunuch had gone away, so he hurried over.

Unconsciously, the strength of the wind was a little stronger, and pieces of snowflakes were blowing on the face, hurting like knives. This weather, just like this world, is afraid to get worse.
