Chapter 64 Orphanage for the Disabled

The Prince of Chu's Mansion was very lively at night. When Wei Zheng came, Li Kuan was packing his things.

When he saw Wei Zheng, Li Kuan quickly told him his itinerary.

See Li Yuan and return to Chunzhou, Lingnan.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Kuan with a weird smile, making him look dumbfounded. He didn't say anything. He just taught Li Kuan a lesson as usual and taught him some methods of governing the country.

This made Li Kuan look confused. I was packing my things and getting ready to leave. It's really strange that you didn't tell me the reason why I was detained for a month.

Faced with this strange behavior pattern, Li Kuan chose to turn a blind eye and move forward according to his own plan.

Early the next morning, Li Kuan came to the palace and applied to see the Supreme Emperor.

However, as soon as the application was submitted, Li Kuan saw the eunuch delivering the order at the entrance of the palace. He lamented in his heart that the eunuchs and maids in the palace were really miserable. They had to start work early in the morning and had no human rights at all. He waited until he had the ability in the future.

Well, just help them. It has to be changed to four days of working days and three days of rest. In that case, in order to run the palace, you may have to work shifts. If you work shifts, you need to increase the number of eunuchs. If you increase the number of eunuchs, you have to give them to normal men.

...

Well, at first Li Kuan thought he was kind, but when he thought about it later he felt that he was really guilty.

The eunuch who delivered the order saw that Li Kuan was a little confused from a distance, then showed a regretful expression, then quickly stopped his regret and walked quickly towards Li Kuan.

Li Kuan was a little confused when he looked at the eunuch who was walking straight towards him. He also looked back to see if there was anyone else behind him.

The eunuch who delivered the order came directly to Li Kuan and said with a smile: "Your Highness, King Chu, please accept the order."

Li Kuan said that he was really confused.

"The king of Chu, Li Kuan, left his post without permission and was fined one year in salary. His position as governor of Chunzhou was canceled and he was moved to Shuofang Biejia. He was ordered to take office in three months."

Wei Zheng, thank you so much.

Li Kuan gritted his teeth and said.

He now understood why Wei Zheng insisted on letting him stay in the Chu Palace for a month. This was a secret operation to get him from the south to the north.

That's Shuofang, what a dangerous place.

A group of angry people in Li Kuan's heart.

At the same time, he also knew why Wei Zheng smiled strangely when he saw him packing his luggage last night.

Mad, this old guy definitely knew he would be transferred to Shuofang early and knew the time.

Wei Zheng: This transfer was signed by me.

The eunuch who delivered the edict did not leave after delivering the imperial edict, but looked at Li Kuan with a hesitation to speak.

This attitude makes Li Kuan very unhappy. You have something to say.

The eunuch who passed the order looked around, pointed to a deserted place aside, and whispered: "King Chu, can you please come over and have a chat?"

After hesitating, Li Kuan nodded and said casually: "I just applied for an audience with the Supreme Emperor, and I'm still waiting for news."

The eunuch who delivered the order said that this was all a trivial matter, and gave a few instructions to a young eunuch accompanying him, asking him to wait here.

Li Kuan and the eunuch who delivered the order came to a deserted place and waited for the other party to speak.

The eunuch who delivered the order did not say any unnecessary words and went straight to the point: "I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu brought all the retired old eunuchs from Chang'an City to Lingnan to castrate pigs."

Looking at the complicated expression on the other person's face, Li Kuan raised his eyebrows and said doubtfully: "What? There is your enemy there, do you want me to kill him?"

The eunuch who delivered the order quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Highness is joking. We are all a group of disabled people. How much hatred can we have."

"That's it..."

The eunuch who delivered the order was in a low mood and showed some embarrassed expressions.

Frowning, Li Kuan began to look at the eunuch who delivered the order. This guy was probably in his forties. According to the eunuch's physical condition, he would have to retire after less than ten years.

"You are afraid that if you leave the palace in your later years, you will be like the old eunuchs in the past, living in an unstable place and living in a miserable state."

"So you want to ask about the situation over there in Lingnan? Do you also want to go there?"

The eunuch who delivered the order nodded, yes, that’s what he meant.

Their eunuchs are very miserable. Some palace maids received gifts from the emperor or princes when they were young and were unable to leave the palace. In the future, they will have to live in a dilapidated palace when they are old. Only a handful of these eunuchs can retire in the palace, and most of them will be expelled.<

/p>

A crippled person has no one to appreciate him, and his hands are not strong enough to tie a chicken. His family has not known him for a long time, and he has no offspring. If he is smarter, he can start some small business with the money he has accumulated over the years, and he may be able to live a stable life in his old age.

But more often than not, the money is robbed, stolen, cheated, or spent by oneself, and then sleeps on the street and dies miserably in an uninhabited corner.

Even for them, planning a cleaning job in the palace, being bullied by the new eunuch, but being able to eat is good news.

Now that Li Kuan has a good place to go, he is really excited and wants to find out.

Isn't it just to castrate the pigs? He will be given food, shelter and money, so he can go.

He can also go to the Gadandan department to study and intern to lay the foundation for future work.

The longing look in the eunuch's eyes made Li Kuan confused.

I thought you would hate this job. You, a eunuch who delivers edicts and have a high status, should be able to save a lot of money. You can just do some business by then. Why did you ask about it so many years in advance?

Don't understand.

However, he did not understand, so Li Kuan still said: "The hog breeding factory in Lingnan will become bigger and bigger, and more manpower will be needed."

"However, I think that a eunuch with a position like you can save some money, some connections, and do some small business, can't he also provide for his retirement?"

The eunuch who delivered the order laughed miserably: "Your Highness, if we leave our current positions, we will be nothing."

"I consider myself a very conscientious person. After my godfather was kicked out of the palace, I have been using my identity to take care of him. However, even though I have been out of the palace many times, the shop he opened was still involved in money fraud.

If you run away, I won’t be able to catch you up."

"In the end, I always used money to support him. I hired people to serve him, but the people who served him took my money and bullied him."

"I can't even guarantee that I will be able to meet a conscientious godson like me in my later years, like my godfather."

Li Kuan fell silent. Eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty were different from those in the Ming Dynasty. The factory guards in the Ming Dynasty allowed those eunuchs to protect themselves and have their own armed forces. Moreover, they could also participate in politics and take care of people outside the palace with ease.<

/p>

The eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty did not have this ability. Except for a few at the top, most of them would be miserable after retirement, as the eunuchs who passed down orders said.

At this time, Li Kuan softened, hesitated, and then whispered: "I have a way to help you."

The eunuch who delivered the order looked at Li Kuan excitedly, wondering what to do.

"You can invest in opening an orphanage for the disabled."

Orphanage for the disabled?
