"Our family has underestimated Your Majesty."
"Maybe whoever sits in that position will end up like this..."
Zhou Yi was sitting on the Grand Master's chair with his eyes lowered, like a tiger lying on a barren hill, exuding a dangerous and ferocious aura.
Emperor Tianshun had never been suspected before. After all, he and Three Yang Sect had a grudge against him for killing his father and his son.
Now that I think about it, power creatures don't care about grudges.
When you are needed, it is your great contribution. When you are not needed, it is your great contribution. Now Your Majesty needs Three Yang Sect to contain Eastern Depot, so you can let go of the blood feud.
Xiao Pingzi boldly asked, "Godfather, how should we treat Eunuch Wu?"
"How to treat it?"
Zhou Yi said with a half-smile, "Of course I am lifting and holding him. Eunuch Wu is a relative of the emperor, and he is the master of our family."
"How majestic your godfather is, how can he let others ride on his head!"
Xiao Pingzi came up with an idea. "How about hiding the dragon robe in Eunuch Wu's house, and our family will search it ourselves to eliminate the trouble for our godfather."
"Do we still need you to teach us how to do things at home?"
Zhou Yi raised his hands in the direction of the palace with a solemn look on his face. "Always position yourself well and remember to be loyal to His Majesty!"
"Not to mention sending Eunuch Wu to the Surveillance Bureau for a walk, even if His Majesty asked our family to ask Eunuch Wu to be our godfather, there would be no hesitation at all!"
Xiao Pingzi wondered, "Are we just going to let Eunuch Wu dominate Eastern Depot?"
Zhou Yi said slowly, "We have heard of Eunuch Wu. He is not arrogant."
At this time.
A ray of sunset slanted in from the entrance of the palace, reflecting on Zhou Yi's head. His white hair was gray and gray, and he seemed to be dying soon.
Xiao Pingzi narrowed his eyes and suddenly realized.
The Governor is old!
He is only twenty-seven years old, but he has practiced too much Ephemeral Bloom Manual and has not been able to break through the innate increase in lifespan, so his time is already running out.
Zhou Yi murmured to himself, "Our family entered the palace as a servant in the Hongwu year. We have been through three dynasties in seventeen years. We have experienced a lot of ups and downs. Now we just want to spend our old age peacefully!"
"My godfather has a long and prosperous life, and our family will take care of you till the end of your life."
Xiao Pingzi hurriedly kowtows to show his loyalty. These old guys who are about to die are careless and moody, so they must be served carefully.
Zhou Yi nodded slightly, making a habit of drawing big cakes.
"Xiao Pingzi, our family is optimistic about you!"
Xiao Pingzi was so grateful that he swore that he would regard his godfather as his biological father. He had already begun to wonder about Eunuch Wu's preferences.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and there is nothing new in the palace.
Only three to five days.
The conversation between Zhou Yi and Xiao Pingzi spread throughout the capital, and many elderly people in the palace lamented that the famous Governor was actually old.
The curtain call of the elders of the three dynasties is quite a bit like the trance of the changes in the world.
More people began to get ready to take action, especially those who monitored the activities of the Sixth Department. In private, they really regarded themselves as relatives of the emperor.
It happened that Eunuch Yuan had some insights into martial arts and practiced in seclusion, and had no time to take charge of palace affairs.
For a while.
There was no one inside or outside the palace to restrain the servants. Perhaps it was because they had suppressed them for too long. As soon as they relaxed a little, the demons began to dance wildly.
The prestige is trembling, and the money is scooped up.
The palace chamberlain asked the officials in the capital for money, and the local supervisory chamberlain blackmailed the local officials. The officials could not bear the blackmail, and then they joined forces with the chamberlain to raid merchants and ordinary people.
Zhou Yi listened to Gan'er's report and drank the tea in a leisurely manner.
"Eunuch Yuan is truly our family confidant!"
In the middle of the following month.
News came out from the palace that Noble Consort Shu is pregnant.
Emperor Tianshun broke the heirless rumor. Long Yan was so happy that he decreed to canonize Eunuch Wu as Marquis Enze, once again setting a precedent for the founding of the country.
The next day after being granted the title of Marquis.
Eunuch Wu officially fulfilled his duties as Eastern Depot. He was born to hold the position of walking, but he did not dare to take a step towards Eastern Depot.
As everyone knows, Eastern Depot's dragon robe is frayed!
At noon.
There were two rows of servants standing neatly outside the main hall door, old and young, all wearing crimson official robes of at least fifth rank.
Everyone looked at their noses with their eyes, and their noses looked at their hearts, without any expression on their faces, like two rows of human-shaped wood carvings.
Da da da...
There was a sound of footsteps, and four young chamberlains led the way. Then they saw the young Marquis wearing a python robe and a jade belt.
With his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, his face is as warm as jade, he is not a rootless person, but he will definitely become a model for the country.
All the servants knelt down in unison. "Greetings to the Marquis!"
"No need to be polite."
Eunuch Wu smiled, walked quickly and stepped forward to help.
Arrest and Capture Bureau, the supervisor Eunuch Sun, who was standing at the end, saw Eunuch Wu's hand stretched out, his face turned pale with fright, and he neither dared to hide nor to be enthusiastic.
A smile uglier than crying appeared on his face, and he cursed secretly that he shouldn't have forced a confession from the prisoner last night, and that he came late today and couldn't find the middle position.
Eunuch Wu is a hot potato at the moment. If you get close, you will die now, if you distance yourself, you will die later.
Eunuch Sun was about to speak when an old voice came from the hall.
"Our family pays homage to the Marquis."
Zhou Yi walked forward, his figure getting lower and lower, and he was about to kneel down in front of Eunuch Wu.
"We are the junior members of our family, so we should pay homage to the Governor."
Eunuch Wu made exactly the same gesture and slid to his knees towards Zhou Yi.
The two met halfway, each bent as if they were kneeling, with four arms supporting each other. In the eyes of outsiders, they looked like brothers reunited after not seeing each other for many years.
Zhou Yi said with a smile, "Master Marquis, please."
Eunuch Wu nodded and said, "The Governor please come first."
The two of them walked towards the main hall together while talking, walking in the same pace, regardless of their body shape, the right foot stepped on the threshold first.
The servants kneeling like wooden sculptures felt that the dark clouds above their heads dispersed, and the sky suddenly became clear and clear.
He stood up and followed Zhou Yi, smiling at Eunuch Wu.
There was originally a grand master's chair at the bottom of the main hall, which meant that I was the only one who was supreme. I don't know when another chair was added. There was a small table in the middle, and the imperial tea was already brewed.
Eunuch Wu Before sitting down, he looked up at the portrait hanging on the wall and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The Governor is so majestic that he can be hung in the hall to intimidate young people. No matter who is in charge of Eastern Depot in the future, he should hang a portrait of the Governor in the main hall to show respect."
Zhou Yi's eyes flashed and he looked Eunuch Wu up and down.
The introverted boy who had previously kept a low profile and kept a low voice had the guts to point fingers at Eastern Depot after only two years of seeing him, and his temperament changed so drastically.
Maybe he's tainted with power, that's all.
Zhou Yi showed a satisfied smile, "No wonder Eunuch Wu has won His Majesty's favor. His words are so touching. Our family is very happy after hearing this."
Eunuch Wu Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart.
This time I boldly came to Eastern Depot to test whether Director Zhou was already thinking about delegating power and providing for the elderly as rumored.
If we can seize the opportunity to seize the power of Eastern Depot, it will have a huge effect on promoting his son to the throne in the future.
"The Governor is ridiculous, our family still needs to ask you for more advice."
They sat down separately while talking.
Zhou Yi winked, and the chief Secret Records Bureau standing in the hall came out and bowed to report.
"Reporting to the Governor and the Marquis, our family received news from a secret agent not long ago. Led by Minister Lu from the Ministry of Rites, twenty-two officials jointly participated in the performance of the Marquis, requesting His Majesty to take back the title."
Zhou Yi took a sip of tea and said comfortingly.
"Lu Linjian That old man is like a smelly stone in a manhole. He will take part in this today and that tomorrow. Don't worry too much, Mr. Hou."
The waiters in the hall all looked at Eunuch Wu to see how he spoke.
Is this a certificate of submission or a roadmap?
A cold light flashed in Eunuch Wu's eyes, knowing that this was Eastern Depot's test. If he showed any signs of weakness and retreat, it would be difficult to take power in the future.
But controlling Eastern Depot is related to the succession of the heirs.
"Our Marquis is personally conferred by His Majesty. Anyone who dares to have any objection would be disobedient and arrogant."
Eunuch Wu stood up and said murderously.
"Duke Gong, I heard that Eastern Depot has a dragon robe with outstanding merits. Let's borrow it!"
When people reach middle age, things get worse and worse.
As far as my health is concerned, there are no major problems with my annual physical examination.
Well, if there is any epidemic, you will definitely not be able to avoid it.
I've had a fever and headache these past few days, and it's not getting better after taking a lot of medicine. I'm extremely sorry!
After thinking about it carefully, I finally decided to follow my previous plan and finish writing Immortality and Demon Slayer, and then start a new book.
You have to have a beginning and an end to be a human being, you can't really be a eunuch!
