Chapter 9 The connector is summoned again!
Xu Shouyun really didn’t expect that when he was a eunuch, he would be given a secret book.
"Master Xu, this is a rule in the palace. To become a ninth-grade eunuch, you must practice martial arts secrets."
"Firstly, it is to maintain the safety of the palace, and secondly, it is free. As eunuchs, we don't have to worry about men and women, so we still have enough time to practice martial arts and keep fit."
Wang Gui's words surprised Xu Shouyun.
It's not a bad thing for eunuchs to practice martial arts. The main reason is that in his impression, no dynasty in this world reuses eunuchs.
Regardless of etiquette or rules, I always feel that there are so many capable civil and military personnel in the Manchu Dynasty, why do we have to use eunuchs?
Therefore, the status of eunuchs in the Wei Dynasty was extremely low.
As for the position of eunuch, one can not only obtain information, but also control the situation, and at the same time, it is not subject to too much supervision.
If you really want eunuchs to be able to engage in political affairs, then it is definitely not a wise choice to arrange for eunuchs to serve as undercover agents.
But when it came to practicing martial arts, Xu Shouyun thought of something in his mind.
The world I live in is not an ordinary feudal dynasty world. This world has a certain fantasy color.
There are Jianghu Xuanmen, gods and monsters, and the kind of existence that can cut off the river with one finger.
It's just that these are a minority after all, and the dynasty is the overlord of this world.
Xu Shouyun doesn't quite understand. The only thing he knows is that warriors are divided into ten levels of strength. The tenth level is the worst and the first level is the strongest. The first few levels can only be used to strengthen the body. The higher you go, the stronger you get. But similarly, the higher you go, the harder it becomes.<
/p>
"Okay, then I'll bother you, Mr. Wang."
It just so happens that the system rewards fifty years of internal strength, and it is best to practice with a secret book.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. If Master Xu can gain His Majesty's favor again in the future, could you please mention my slave's name and support me."
Wang Gui smiled and spoke.
"Don't worry, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely mention it."
Who wouldn’t write a bad check?
There are some things that cannot be said. Otherwise, Xu Shouyun must say, "When the Wei Dynasty is destroyed, I will take you to be a eunuch in the Chu Dynasty.
"By the way, what's going on with Concubine Liu?"
Xu Shouyun asked a key point.
To be honest, my contact person should not have done it unintentionally. There must be other reasons for letting me serve Concubine Liu.
"Master Xu, this Concubine Liu has a great background. She is the daughter of the chief minister of the current cabinet."
"I entered the palace two years ago and became the dowager before I even met His Majesty."
"If it weren't for Concubine Liu's young age, otherwise, the four concubines would be in power in this deep palace."
"Master Xu, if you serve Concubine Liu well, it will be a good thing. You will have a bright future."
Wang Gui smiled and spoke.
But these words sounded a bit shocking to Xu Shouyun's ears.
Damn it, you haven’t even seen the emperor in person? He’s still just a young kid?
"How old is Mrs. Liu this year?"
Xu Shouyun asked.
"If you count, you should have it by the age of nineteen."
The latter thought about it for a moment and immediately gave an answer.
Nineteen years old?
In other words, he was sent to the palace at the age of seventeen?
It’s really cruel.
But think about it. In ancient times, it was common for women to give birth to children at the age of sixteen, and it was also common for women to get married at the age of fourteen.
No matter how old the emperor is, the concubines he marries must be young. Who likes old women?
"What about Princess Zhou and the others?"
Xu Shouyun continued to ask.
"Twenty-four or five years old, the Queen Mother is fifty. Mr. Xu, why are you asking these questions?"
Wang Gui was a little puzzled.
"Hiss."
Xu Shouyun really didn’t know what to say this time.
After all, it sounds like a concubine or a queen mother. She looks older at first glance, but she didn’t expect that.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the emperor's early death.
"It's nothing, I'm just curious. Eunuch Wang, if you have nothing to do right now, please take me around to get acquainted with the situation in the palace."
"Tell me more about the things in the court. I'm afraid that one day I accidentally meet a certain minister and prince, and I will be guilty of offending you."
Xu Shouyun continued to speak. Wang Gui had been in the palace for ten years and knew many things. Now he could just let the other party explain it to him.
"Not busy, not busy."
Wang Gui is warm-hearted.
With the two of them walking around the palace like this, Xu Shouyun had many questions. He needed to know the division of power in the palace.
He also needs to know some of the divisions of forces in the court.
After all, the palace itself is an alternative political circle, with concubines, concubines, and beauties, all of whom do not have official positions behind them.
It was not until Youshi that Wang Gui resigned.
Xu Shouyun also returned to his residence. There were no lights in the other three rooms, so he probably didn't come back.
Back in the room, a set of clean and tidy eunuch robes were placed on the bed, as well as a secret book.
It clearly says 'Pure Yang Kung'.
Opening the secret book, Xu Shouyun studied seriously.
And at the same time.
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
The empress' eyes were like ice, full of coldness.
In the main hall, Chu Yunrou stood aside, lowering her gaze, not daring to look directly at it.
Everyone knows that the empress of Wei in front of her is extremely angry.
"It's really presumptuous."
Jiang Ling's angry voice sounded.
There was a sound in the Yangxin Hall. She had a good temper, but she was still shaking with anger today.
The reason is simple.
In the court today, she shelved the matter of converting rice into mulberry, planning to deal with it coldly and let the matter be discussed later.
But I didn’t expect that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty would not agree.
He even said that he changed his orders day and night and criticized himself.
If it were only officials who supported the conversion of rice to mulberry, she would not be so angry. What really made her angry was that these opponents were actually criticizing herself.
She now understands the dangers of changing rice to mulberry.
She could bear the criticism from the civil and military officials of the dynasty, but what she couldn't bear was that some people pretended to be confused while pretending to understand.
What does this mean?
Do you really want the Wei Dynasty to be destroyed to be happy?
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. What the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are doing today is actually for the good of the Wei Dynasty. After all, the change of rice to mulberry has been going on for two years."
"Sudden shelving will inevitably cause controversy."
Chu Yunrou spoke up to persuade the empress.
Hearing this, Jiang Ling was a little silent. Chu Yunrou was his maid and was naturally smart, but she obviously couldn't see through this matter.
But this is normal, and I can’t see through it myself.
The two were silent.
After a while, Chu Yunrou spoke again: "By the way, Your Majesty, Xu Shouyun's matter has been settled. He is promoted to a first-class eunuch."
Chu Yunrou spoke casually, but it was actually to change the topic.
And when I heard the name Xu Shouyun.
Jiang Ling suddenly thought of something, and then nodded: "I am tired, so I will rest here tonight."
After saying this, she waved her hand, and the latter immediately exited the Yangxin Hall.
After the latter left, Jiang Ling took out a token and then injected a burst of mysterious energy.
At the same moment.
Inside Wuning Hall.
