"Who benefits, who is responsible..."
Zhou Yi murmured to himself, and heard the second meaning from it, that is, he would rather kill the mistake than let it go!
Emperor Hongwu is already considered a wise king, but in order to prevent the imperial power from being lost to other people, he will also kill anyone who has any suspicion.
"Old Lu, do you recognize the assassin?"
The assassin was wearing the clothes of a chamberlain, his voice was high-pitched, and his face was not covered. He was probably a master in the palace.
Old Lu said, "That person is Wei Shitou. Well, later I asked someone to change his name. It seems to be called Wei Yingfu, which is not as nice as Xiao Shitou."
"Eunuch Wei!"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but exclaim, this is the legendary existence of the Eunuch Bureau, the target of all those who practice Ephemeral Bloom Manual.
Old Lu glanced at him. "You're not bad at all, we didn't expect that Eunuch Yi could beat Innate Grandmaster!"
Zhou Yi looked helpless. Due to Empress's death, all previous efforts were in vain. He couldn't hold back his anger for a while, exposing his martial arts strength.
After all, she worked so hard to take care of her and cared more about her than her biological father and mother. Suddenly, her dream of getting promoted and making a fortune was shattered!
Zhou Yi I have read a lot of books, and I can understand what the sages said about landslides not changing color, but I am still far from reaching this level.
"Old Lu, we didn't mean to hide it."
Old Lu nodded and said, "We understand. Before Xiaoshi Shitou became a master of martial arts, do you know what he did?"
Zhou Yi asked, "What to do?"
"Pour night fragrance!"
Old Lu recalled, "At that time, the Former Emperor was still in the Jingyang Palace. Due to the long period of confinement, his temper was a bit violent. Once, Xiao Shitou was too late to pour night fragrance, so he was dragged out and killed with a cane."
"We saw how pitiful he looked, so we said a few nice words and he was spared the punishment of the rod!"
Zhou Yi praised, "Old Lu is indeed a living Bodhisattva in the palace, and he actually saved Eunuch Wei."
"We can live comfortably in the Cold Palace because of more than just your Majesty's reward."
Old Lu changed his voice and said, "But you said something wrong. We didn't save Little Shitou, but we saved the Former Emperor's life. At that time, Little Shitou was already close to being born!"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask, "Old Lu, what is innate?"
There are records in Innate Grandmaster and Ephemeral Bloom Manual, but the method of breaking through the realm has been hidden.
"Xiantian refers to the state of the fetus when it breathes acquired Qi."
Old Lu said, "We don't know what the specific state is. This is a secret biography of the country and cannot be accessed by ordinary people, so we just said a few words based on hearsay!"
Zhou Yi frowned and thought for a moment, still confused, but didn't pay too much attention.
After seven years of hard training regardless of longevity, the true energy is like a mighty river, which can compete with Innate Grandmaster. If you practice true energy for another seventy years, you can kill Xiantian without breaking through the realm!
It is nothing more than winning by quantity or winning by quality.
Zhou Yi pressed his thoughts and asked in a low voice, "Old Lu, you have shown your strength today, will your Majesty think highly of us?"
"Yes."
Old Lu said, "But it will take some time."
Zhou Yi looked happy. He couldn't gain status by drilling and planning, but it was good to get promoted by relying on brute force. After a little thought, he understood what Old Lu meant.
Emperor Hongwu will collapse, and the new king will win over him again after he ascends the throne!
Old Lu sighed, "From now on the Cold Palace, we will be the only ones left alone again."
Zhou Yi stood up and bowed.
"Old Lu, thank you for your care and guidance, I will come to visit you when you have time in the future!"
Old Lu lay on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
"We've heard this a lot. Everyone has gained power. How can we have time to look at a bad old man like us?"
Thirty-eight years of Hongwu.
September.
The emperor died in Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The next day.
Yang Si, who was then the cabinet member Chief Minister, read out the edict of succession.
Taisun Zhao Kai ascended the throne and established the Yuan Dynasty as orthodox.
The first year of orthodoxy.
Cold Palace.
The collapsed houses have been repaired and made more comfortable than before.
The father-in-law, the supervisor of Shangyi, personally escorted two servants to plead guilty. If they dared to be lazy and did not wash the bedding, they would be punished at will by Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi looked at the two chamberlains, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing like garlic, and said with a smile.
"It's not a big deal. Just change it and you won't be punished!"
If it had been two years ago before Cold Palace entered Cold Palace, Zhou Yi would definitely not have forgiven him. He would have had his hand cut off with his palm and mouth, or he would have been dragged out and beaten to death.
The influence of Old Lu on Zhou Yi is not only reading and giving tips, but also subtly dissipating the hostility.
Be kind to the little people and be ruthless to the big people!
Only kindness given by a high position can obtain equal or even excessive returns. Showing kindness to people of the same or greater level will only make people think you are cowardly!
Of course, on the other hand, Zhou Yi is even more ruthless than before.
I no longer send money home, I just want to climb to the highest point in the palace, gain immense power, and enjoy wealth and glory!
This day.
The sun is scorching.
Zhou Yi was lying on the steps basking in the sun, and the true energy in his body was moving by itself.
No one in the world understands Ephemeral Bloom Manual as well as Zhou Yi, and even surpasses the creator. After all, Dushou died after practicing hard day and night.
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came.
"Your Majesty orally."
Zhou Yi jumped up and knelt on the ground to receive the order skillfully. When he saw that the person announcing the order was actually Eunuch Yuan.
After Emperor Zhengtong ascended the throne, Eunuch Yuan not only did not feel lonely, but was promoted to Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs Admiral, his status in the Eunuch Bureau was second only to the Twelfth Chief Supervisor.
Moreover, since Eunuch Chu resigned, the position of Chief Admiral has been vacant, and Eunuch Yuan can be called the number one eunuch.
"Congratulations to Eunuch Yi."
Eunuch Yuan said with a smile on his face, "His Majesty personally issued an order to promote Eunuch Yi to Directorate of Palace Attendants Admiral, responsible for the recruitment and duty of chamberlains in the palace."
Admiral!
Zhou Yi's eyes flashed with surprise, it was a higher grade than expected, or His Majesty had no one with him, or he bought a horse bone for a thousand gold.
"Thank you Lord for your kindness. I will do my best to protect the safety of the palace!"
Eunuch Yuan said, "Brother Yi, we serve His Majesty, and we can get closer in the future."
Zhou Yi heard the familiar name and responded quickly.
"Brother Yuanzi, when we first entered the palace, we didn't understand the rules. Thank you for your guidance and help. If anything happens in the future, just give us your order and we will handle it safely!"
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
I still remember Barracks Bing Six nine years ago, four junior chamberlains lived and ate together, but now there are only two left, and they have become important figures in the palace!
Return to your residence.
Zhou Yi packed up his things and moved to Directorate of Palace Attendants to stay.
Emperor Zhengtong made an exception by granting him the position of admiral. Obviously he was worried about the servant on duty, so he asked Zhou Yi to clean it up and recruit new people to be on duty to protect His Majesty's safety!
Old Lu walked into the room slowly and said with a faint smile, "Admiral Yi, there is no need to clean up these rags, Directorate of Palace Attendants has already prepared them for you."
"Old Lu, don't be so weird!"
Zhou Yi said with a smile, "You often say that clothes are not as good as old ones. We are afraid that Directorate of Palace Attendants's new bedding contains some poisonous insects and poisonous needles, and they will be gone when we lie down on them."
It was common for people to die in the palace. Even the emperor would fall into the water or the manure pit, and even more eunuchs died.
Zhou Yi will not forget what he saw and heard just because Cold Palace is comfortable.
Old Lu heard this and nodded with satisfaction.
"It's good for you kid to know. I'll save you the trouble by reminding you that there are some old guys at Directorate of Palace Attendants who may be able to help you..."
