There was a pool of blood dripping on the blue bricks. Eunuch Liu's body was like chaff, and he still knocked his head heavily with his head again and again, making a thumping sound.
After an unknown amount of time, the old eunuch finally put down his pen, glanced at Eunuch Liu with his turbid eyes, and said like a spring breeze: "Tea..."
The young eunuch standing next to the old eunuch bent over and went to pour tea.
"Mr. Factory... I... I..." Eunuch Liu was completely exhausted. When he raised his face, his whole face was dripping with blood, and he was extremely horrified.
The old eunuch sighed, leaned back in the chair and smiled slightly: "What did the Zajia say? We want to take back Fireworks Alley, did you hear it then?"
"Listen...I heard..." Eunuch Liu said fearfully.
The old eunuch sneered and said: "You didn't hear it. You are doing it in a positive and negative way. The Zajia asked you, whose hands are the Fireworks Alley now?"
"At that time, I heard that His Royal Highness..."
boom……
The old eunuch smiled even colder, interrupting Eunuch Liu's explanation by snapping the case: "What the Zajia want is the money from members of Fireworks Alley. No matter how much you say, it's just sophistry!" He looked away, and his sharp aura disappeared instantly, looking lazy.
He leaned back on the cushions behind the chair, rubbed his temples with his dry hands, and said slowly: "There is no need to worry about Mou Bin anymore. He is a smart man, and he is willing to stand up at this time and fight to the death. There is no need for us to accompany him."
He was shattered into pieces together. The matter has become a big deal. Not only will it make people laugh, but the cabinet will also have an excuse. Someone may tell what is right and wrong. Take back all our people from the East Factory and tell them not to act rashly for the time being.
, let’s put aside the dispute with Jin Yiwei for now.”
"Yes." Even though he said this, Eunuch Liu was still unwilling to accept it. If Dongchang showed weakness, the Fireworks Alley would probably never be taken back. At this time, his mind was already groggy, and there was still water on his forehead.
Blood oozed from the ground, dripping down the tip of his nose and chin.
At this time, the little eunuch had brought a cup of hot tea. The old eunuch took it slowly, opened the lid and blew the tea foam, and said casually: "The crux of the problem is not Jin Yiwei, nor Mou Bin, but that person."
On the person of the hundred households named Liu. Did you just say that His Highness the Crown Prince has been getting close to him in the past few days and even became his disciple?"
"That's right, the villain over there with the surname Liu is being watched closely. In the past few days, His Royal Highness the Prince has been going to Baihusuo to stay with him every day. It seems that he wants to learn some boxing and kicking. It's very embarrassing.
.”
Seeing that the factory father had calmed down, Eunuch Liu felt relieved, regained his sanity, and began to answer questions.
"One more thing. I heard that the man surnamed Liu often competed with the prince in martial arts and used fists and kicks against the prince. Every time the prince returned to the East Palace, he was scarred. In addition, he also said that he wanted the prince to do some help...
"
The old eunuch listened to Eunuch Liu's ramble without moving. When Eunuch Liu finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and said: "So, this person named Liu can no longer be kept, even if it's not for the fireworks."
If he is in the alley, sooner or later he will be in trouble. If he clings to the prince, sooner or later we will be dead."
Eunuch Liu raised his head and said in surprise: "Fang Gong, do you mean to ask people to do something?"
The old eunuch smiled slightly, glanced at Eunuch Liu sarcastically, and said: "He is a member of the Hundred Households granted by the emperor. What you say is too rebellious. To untie the bell, you need to tie the bell. It is not Dongchang who wants to do it, but the one who ties the bell.
Your Majesty, please first find out the pattern of the Crown Prince's interactions with Liu Chengfeng. When the Emperor becomes more relaxed and refined, you can then ask the Emperor to leave the palace."
Eunuch Liu was embarrassed and said: "The emperor is busy with everything, so he may not be willing to leave the palace."
"That's not necessarily the case." The old eunuch sneered, took a slow sip of tea, and continued: "If it concerns the prince, it will be very different."
Eunuch Liu suddenly realized and said quickly: "I understand, this is killing with a borrowed knife. The emperor recently praised Liu Chengfeng, and only the emperor can get rid of that person named Liu. As long as the emperor sees the flattering prince named Liu, he will be killed."
When Long Yan was furious, no one could save him."
The old eunuch sighed and said: "Liu Cheng, you are good at everything else, you are loyal and willing to do things, but there is a missing string in your mind. Many things can be accomplished without shouting and killing. Sunshine Avenue
If there is no way, just take the small road. As long as you can get things done, there will always be a way. How about the wound on your forehead? "
Eunuch Liu Cheng looked flattered and said quickly: "Mr. Factory, it doesn't matter. He is a villain who deserves to die. He can't do things. He almost ruined the reputation of Mr. Factory and made him laughable. I will definitely listen to him from now on."
The factory father taught me to use my brain in everything."
The old eunuch nodded his head and said calmly: "Okay, very good. It's not in vain that the Za family loves you. Zhou Yong, the eunuch of Huzhou, sent some strange things. You can pick out a few good ones to play with later.
Let’s play.”
Liu Chenglian said he didn't dare.
The old eunuch said: "How dare you do this? This is a reward from the Za family. Go down."
Liu Cheng withdrew with a look of tears of gratitude.
The old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. He stared at the palace lantern on the table, then closed his eyes and said calmly: "This bitch is really getting worse and worse at doing things."
The young eunuch on the side smiled slightly, smiled flatteringly at the old eunuch, and said: "Godfather, there are many people who are willing to do things in this palace. Since Liu Cheng made the godfather unhappy, he simply assigned him to the pinnacle.
Go to the Works Bureau, what's the use of keeping this kind of waste?"
The old eunuch raised his eyes and glanced at the young eunuch, smiled coldly and said, "What? Are you so impatient to replace Liu Cheng?"
The little eunuch couldn't help but shuddered and said hurriedly: "My son doesn't dare."
The old eunuch put on a smile and said: "It's not necessarily a bad thing if you have this idea. We are all people without roots. If we don't even have this ambition, what's the point of living? But Liu Cheng still wants to stay.
"Look, although he is dull, he is still diligent. As long as he gets rid of the man named Liu this time, he can atone for his sins."
After the old eunuch said that, he fell silent, picked up the memorial book on the table and read it, so focused that he forgot the existence of the young eunuch next to him.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Liu Chengfeng's life was uneventful. In addition to being on duty every day, he would occasionally go to Wang Ao's house. Wang Ao's hemorrhoids had entered the second course of treatment, and his condition had significantly eased. As Liu Chengfeng,
Chengfeng's mentor naturally had to teach Liu Chengfeng a few words. Liu Chengfeng turned around and returned Wang Ao's teachings to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao went to Baihusuo every day with great interest. For this naughty prince, the more Liu Chengfeng tormented him, the more powerful his magical skills became. If peerless martial arts were easily available, what else could they call peerless magical skills? It only took a few days.
, Liu Chengfeng had asked him to copy the Analects of Confucius four times. His cursive writing that was as crawling as a dog now finally has some appearance, and the progress is obvious.
Later, when Liu Chengfeng had nothing to do in Baihusuo, he asked Zhu Houzhao to recite the Analects of Confucius. Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth and recited the Analects from memory. Fortunately, there were not many words in the Analects, so it did not stump Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao was a very smart person.
As long as people use their heart, although they may not be able to memorize it backwards and forwards, they won't make too many errors.
"Master, how long will it take to sharpen your mind? When can you start training your skin and bones?"
Zhu Houzhao gradually became familiar with Liu Chengfeng, and he would always ask this question again and again before giving up.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, good disciple. This practice is like building a house. The house will be good only if the foundation is solid. Master is asking you to build the foundation now, so that you can lay a good foundation so that you can get twice the result with half the effort when you practice kung fu in the future.
.”
Liu Chengfeng could only answer like this every time. In fact, if Liu Chengfeng really asked Zhu Houzhao to learn martial arts, Liu Chengfeng wouldn't know it. Now that he has taken advantage of his shortcomings, he has no excuse to drive this guy out of the door.
We can only delay it for a few days. Anyway, it is not a bad thing to let this guy study. It is worth the tuition of the thousand kilograms of bacon.
However, the six gifts of apprenticeship also made Liu Chengfeng a lot of money. He gave all these things away, and each family also sent gifts in return. There were calligraphy and paintings, porcelain vases, gold and silver jewelry, silk cloth, and so on.
At the end of the day, he actually made more than two thousand taels of silver. What was even more interesting was that Chen Hongyu gave him ten kilograms of bacon, which was only worth a hundred pieces of silver in total. Instead, he just returned a fine blue and white porcelain vase. Liu Chengfeng was quite impressed.
Knowing some techniques for identifying antiques, one can tell at a glance that the value of this porcelain vase is more than thirty taels of silver.
This wealth was earned by Liu Chengfeng, Zhu Houzhao's disciple. Liu Chengfeng was determined to treat Zhu Houzhao better. So sometimes he would ask about Zhu Houzhao's homework when he had nothing to do, and would also ask him to sit aside and chat.
.
"Master, how can Guo Jing, who is so stupid, learn peerless martial arts?"
"Nandi is such an idiot. He doesn't want to be a good emperor, but wants to be a monk."
The relationship between Liu Chengfeng and Zhu Houzhao has become much closer. When he heard Zhu Houzhao talking about his 'story', he couldn't help blowing his beard and staring: "What do you know? Not everyone likes to be the emperor."
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said: "This is true, for example, my father...for example, the current emperor, who handles government affairs in the palace day and night, looks like he has the world and the world, but his hair has turned white. He is really pitiful."
Liu Chengfeng sneered and said in a very sophisticated way: "The emperor is in the palace, how do you know if he is taking care of everything, or if he is dealing with three thousand beauties and lying drunk in a gentle country?"
Liu Chengfeng's words were a bit rebellious, but after all, there were no outsiders here, and he didn't belong to this world, so he had a skeptical attitude towards everything, so he didn't feel anything wrong when he said these words.
