"Little Yi, but come back from Directorate of Palace Attendants?"
Little Yuan speaks with a nasal voice, and there is no hint of happiness or anger, but it is not a good thing to just hear the name.
In the palace, a person's title can best reflect changes in status.
From Little Yi to Brother Yi, then to Eunuch Yi, and now back to Little Yi, you must listen to what you are told, otherwise you will not know if you fall into a trap.
Zhou Yi took two steps forward, knelt down and begged, "Eunuch Yuan, we have no choice but to recognize Eunuch Xu. We have lived together for four years, but we are closer than brothers!"
Eunuch Yuan looked dimly and sighed in silence for a long time.
"Our family will be on duty at Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs from now on, please take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he carried his luggage and left, leaving only Zhou Yi kneeling alone in the house.
"Take care of yourself..."
Thinking carefully about Eunuch Yuan's words, the personal chariot should know His Majesty's thoughts. The first thing Zhou Yi thought of was that Second Prince has lost his holy family!
The prince fell out of favor and basically had no chance of becoming emperor.
Zhou Yi's mind was spinning, wondering how to find a new backer before Eunuch Xu's downfall.
"We can't pour night fragrance!"
"Eunuch Yuan speaks like this, both as a reminder and as a warning. Now that our friendship has been broken, we will no longer be able to rely on each other. Who else in the palace can we have a relationship with?"
Zhou Yi stood up and saw Little Zheng's messy bed. He stepped forward to fold and smooth the quilt.
Just like when Little Xi left!
Eunuch Yuan didn't say where Little Zheng was, and Zhou Yi didn't ask. It wouldn't be good if some things were made clear. They just assumed that Little Zheng, who had profound skills, fell into a well and disappeared.
Every day in the palace, a servant dies unexpectedly. Maybe it will be Zhou Yi's turn tomorrow.
"Your Majesty, with his body and bones, there is no way he can last for two or three years. Let's just ride on a donkey and look for a horse. Besides, if the Holy Family says there is nothing, it will be nothing, but it will also say there is something!"
Zhou Yi thought of this and felt envious of Emperor Hongwu.
A thought of joy makes the whole world rejoice, a thought of anger makes everything in the world startled, he is really a living god!
"It's not all bad today. Little Zheng is gone, so we don't have to pay back the favor we owe..."
Zhou Yi was lying on the bed, constantly comforting himself.
Looking back on the scenes of the past four years, Little Zheng is a bit cold-tempered, but he is one of the few good people in the palace. Zhou Yi still thinks about owing someone fifty taels of silver.
Hongwu 34th Year End.
The palace was dyed gold and red, and festive longevity characters were hung everywhere.
Long, wide, flat and round, with many strokes and few strokes, they are all handwritten by the great Confucians of the country.
Zhou Yi knows that this thing is called calligraphy, which represents different fonts. Unfortunately, after all, my cultural background is shallow and I can't recognize the beauty of the fonts. I just feel like ghostly symbols.
"From now on, we will be free and happy. If we have time to practice calligraphy and read, our family will also become scholars!"
Three days later, His Majesty will celebrate his seventieth birthday.
It was jointly run by the third prince Prince Chu and Fourth Prince Qi. It is said that two million taels of silver were spent on it, and no money was needed from the treasury or internal funds. The right to do so was to honor the father.
"Prince Chu, Prince Qi have not yet become feudal lords, and they have no property in the capital. How can they get two million taels of silver?"
"This is not to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, but to forcefully create obstacles. Godfather's method is really good. I heard it's called flattery!"
"I'll blow you away first and blow you up to the sky. Naturally, your brain will get hot. As long as you make a mistake and lose the Holy Family, you will be on the same level as Second Prince!"
Zhou Yi was amazed, it turned out that the conspiracy was more than just harmful to people.
I went back and thought about it carefully, and tried the method of flattering and killing my godfather in the future to see if it would also float to the sky and fall to the ground.
Return to your residence from Imperial Garden.
Zhou Yi pushed the door open and saw three young chamberlains.
"Little Yi is back."
Young people always speak unscrupulously, just like Zhou Yi back in the day, with no sense of superiority or awe.
"Yeah."
Zhou Yi clasped his hands and nodded with a smile. Due to the use of the disguise potion, his gray hair and old face made him look a generation older than the three newcomers.
Fortunately, under the influence of Little Xi, if it were an old eunuch with a dark mind, the three little guys would not survive this year!
These three are all refugees from the north. It is said that there was a heavy snowfall in northern Xinjiang that had not happened in a century, which crushed countless houses, and they wandered all the way to the capital.
As a result, the police officers in the capital drove them everywhere and prohibited the refugees from entering the city.
Your Majesty loves the people like a son and cannot bear to see them suffer. You must not let homeless beggars affect your birthday banquet!
Fortunately, Eunuch Bureau recruited new people and saved the lives of many refugees, including these three. They took care of food, clothing, clothing, and a house to live in. It was truly a great favor from the Emperor!
Three days flew by.
The ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.
night.
His Majesty set up a banquet at the Chonghua Palace to entertain the royal family and courtiers.
Ordinary chamberlains were not eligible to participate, but they also received benefits. His Majesty rewarded all the chambermaids with a dish and a bottle of wine, and allowed them to take three days' rest in rotation.
Imperial Garden Qing Qing Qing There are only a dozen or so waiters on duty.
Jiangxue Pavilion.
Zhou Yi stood alone at the door, looking up at the full moon in the sky, and somehow thought of his parents at home.
"New Year's Day is coming soon. With the money we send back, we should be able to have a good New Year! I don't know if my eldest brother has a wife, maybe he has a nephew..."
"When we get to the top, we will return home in fine clothes and find a good job for my nephew!"
Zhou Yi vaguely heard the noise of the Chonghua Palace, and suddenly felt that it was very noisy. No matter how happy they are today, they will be nothing but dirt a hundred years from now.
His Majesty's birthday banquet has passed a few days ago.
News spread in the palace that Second Prince went to the Ministry of War to observe the government.
Son of Heaven, he who has strong soldiers and horses will do it!
Daqing established the country by force, and the authority of the Ministry of War was not at all weaker than that of the staff, and it represented His Majesty's intention to cultivate Second Prince. However, the direction of the wind suddenly changed again.
Zhou Yi is a little relieved, there is no need to find a new godfather for the time being.
"We also need to make preparations early. Directorate of Palace Affairs and Eunuch Zhu are pretty good. We have bought the makeup cream over the years, so we are familiar with them!"
Eunuch Zhu has a broad heart and a fat body. He has a good or bad temper, but he has an excellent advantage.
Only love money!
The problems that can be solved with money in the palace are all minor problems.
The 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Zhou Yi spent the fourth New Year's Eve in the palace, and the next day, the first day of the lunar month, entered the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu.
Your Majesty has been on the throne for sixty-one years, but the calendar year is only thirty-five. This is because when the foreign tribes from northern Xinjiang invaded the capital, the late emperor abandoned the city and fled.
Emperor Hongwu entered the foreign military camp at the age of ten and signed a covenant to protect the capital.
After the Former Emperor came back, he lived in the Jingyang Palace. In order to show his purity and filial piety, it was not until the death of the late emperor that the year was changed to Hongwu.
Any disputes between father and son after that have become taboo and no one dares to discuss them. Zhou Yi I only heard that there was blood in the palace from time to time in those years.
Get up early in the morning.
Zhou Yi went to Directorate of Palace Attendants to kowtow to New Year greetings. Second Prince was favored again. Eunuch Xu was in a good mood.
"Little Yi, you do things quickly. Do you want to be on duty at Hall of Mental Cultivation?"
Zhou Yi's heart is pounding. His Majesty has been reviewing memorials at Hall of Mental Cultivation all year round. It can be said to be the first-class duty station.
Eunuch Yuan was able to be promoted to the fourth grade Suitang not because of nine years of hard work, but because he became familiar with His Majesty in Hall of Mental Cultivation. He was not even qualified to compete through hard work alone.
Zhou Yi suppressed the thought of agreeing and refused with a smile.
"Thank you godfather for your cultivation. It's just that we have only been here for three years and we still don't understand many of the rules in the palace. We were clumsy when we went to Hall of Mental Cultivation, but we let godfather down."
"Well, let's live in a few years."
Eunuch Xu nodded slightly. He was just testing Zhou Yi to see if he had other ideas.
Everyone in the palace has their own thoughts, but no one can reveal them!
