Zhuo Qihua

Zhuo Ji slept until noon the next day before getting up.He heard gunshots in the middle of the night, and although he fell asleep, he kept dreaming. Fortunately, Emperor Yong'an comforted him twice.After waking up, it turned out that Emperor Yong'an was not on the bed. After asking Chang Jing, he found out that Emperor Yong'an woke up after two hours of sleep, and was in the Hall of Xing Xing.Zhuo Ji did not bother Emperor Yong'an after breakfast, but went to Yunyue Palace to see how the Third Highness was doing.

As soon as he arrived at Yunyue Palace, De Guixie pulled Zhuo Ji and asked, "Shunxi, what happened at Fengtian Palace in the middle of the night yesterday? It is said that there were several loud noises, and His Majesty even evacuated everyone."

Zhuo Ji said helplessly: "Lin Neiwei is back and brought back a treasure for His Majesty. Your Majesty can't wait for dawn to try that treasure in the main hall. It's a confidential matter. I don't know the details, and I'm also scared." I jumped. If I hadn’t passed by, His Majesty would not have known that his ears were damaged.”

"Ah?! Is Your Majesty okay?"

"I gave His Majesty a massage for a while, and acupuncture, and I was fine. Then I fell asleep, and I kept having nightmares."

Seeing Zhuo Ji's tired face, De Guixie didn't ask what kind of treasure it was, didn't Zhuo Ji say it was a secret.Lin Yi and General Lin have been out of Beijing for more than a year, and their whereabouts have become a mystery. This time Lin Yi came back, and he must bring back an incredible treasure. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. There is no re-fever, and breastfeeding is still normal, but I always feel that he is a little lethargic."

Zhuo Ji: "The Third Highness is just recovering from a serious illness, and it will take some time to recover. It's cold, so be careful not to catch the cold or catch the wind. Children can easily cause pneumonia, and it will be difficult for me now."

When Degui Xie heard this, she immediately nodded heavily.After chatting with De Guixie for a while, Zhuo Ji left.He went to Yanxin Palace to see His Highness the Fourth Highness, and then he went to Huayang Palace to see the noble concubine, then went to Shoukang Palace to greet the Queen Mother, and finally went to Yuxian Palace, and then returned to Fengtian Palace.

When Zhuo Ji walked around for such a long time, had a full stomach of snacks and drank tea and returned to Fengtian Hall, Emperor Yong'an was still in the Hall of Xingxing, and Yi Lin was also there.Although Emperor Yong'an asked Lin Yi to go home to spend the new year with his family, Lin Yi still thought that he had not reported to His Majesty in detail, so he still entered the palace.Zhuo Ji didn't go there, he went back to the ear room.

"Chang Jing."

"The servant is here."

Zhuo Ji asked: "I remember you told me that there are two older brothers and one older sister in your family?"

Chang Jing nodded: "Yes, there are two older brothers and one older sister on top of the servant. Thanks to the master, the elder sister of the servant found a good marriage the year before last and got married, and gave birth to a big fat boy last year. The two of the slave The two elder brothers also bought land and built a house. The parents of the servants are also in good health now."

As Zhuo Ji's personal eunuch, Chang Jing, Zhuo Ji gave him six taels of silver every month, and so did Xiaohui.During the Chinese New Year, Zhuo Ji will give them a big red envelope.Zhuo Ji's own dividends were all given to Emperor Yong'an, but many of the gifts he received were casually given to those around him.Chang Jing's status is different now, and the life of the family members is naturally rising.

But Zhuo Ji said: "Your family is not entrusted with my blessing, but your blessing. If you hadn't entered the palace to be an eunuch, they would not have a bright future." Chang Jing's family suffered from famine and couldn't survive. His parents cruelly sold him into the palace as an eunuch.Chang Jing suffered from castration, he hated his parents for their cruelty, but after following Zhuo Ji as his master, Chang Jing gradually forgave his parents.

Chang Jing's eyes turned red, but he immediately smiled and said, "It's a blessing that I got in my previous life to be able to enter the palace and meet my master. I would rather be a eunuch than follow my master."

Zhuo Ji: "You people, as long as you don't betray me, as long as you don't commit crimes or do evil, I will protect you forever. Chang Jing, you, Xiaohui, Wang Bao, Yuan Xiu, and Aunt Hua are all by my side People, I can only entrust some of my affairs to you. I have a lot of properties and fields in my hands, but I don’t have time to take care of them, so you, Wang Bao and Yuan Xiu still have to take care of them. I will earn money for you opportunities, but you also know my principles and bottom line, as long as you don’t violate these, I won’t interfere with how much you earn.”

"Master! The servants just need to follow the master!" Chang Jing knelt down.

Zhuo Ji didn't let him get up, and said: "I have a few ideas now, and I need someone to do it for me. I will give you a sum of money, and you will resettle your two elder brothers and their families to the capital. Similarly, Xiaohui, Wang Bao, Yuan Xiu, and Aunt Hua are the same. You, your family members will help me do some things outside the palace. But I still have to put some words first. Once I know who dares to do anything wrong in my name, even if They are your own parents, I should kill them and I will kill them."

Chang Jing kowtowed: "忍俍! You don't need to do it, the servant will do it himself!"

"it is good."

After that, Zhuo Ji asked Chang Jing to call Xiao Hui, Wang Bao, Yuan Xiu and Aunt Hua.Both Wang Bao and Yuan Xiu lost their ties with their families after entering the palace, but they have been in the palace for so many years, so they naturally have their own contacts, and there is no shortage of people to run errands for the master.

Before dinner, Emperor Yong'an came out from the Xing Xing Hall, and Lin Yi went out of the palace to go home.The news of Lin Yi's return to Beijing has already spread, and now it is Chinese New Year, and during the holiday, all the officials in the capital are watching what big moves the Holy Majesty will make.As soon as Lin Yi came back, people from Shanglin Mansion began to flock in an endless stream.New Year's greetings are secondary, and inquiring about news is the key.Of course, Edward Lam would not say anything.

The flintlock and artillery have not yet been officially unveiled, and Emperor Yong'an will not reward them heavily at this time.During dinner, Emperor Yong'an asked: "I heard from Zhang Xian that you have been in the ear room since you came back. What are you busy with?"

Zhuo Ji: "Say something to Chang Jing and the others. I, the 'little money-making expert', should be in place."

"puff!"

The four people who were waiting on the side all pursed their lips and laughed.Emperor Yong'an was curious: "Oh? What are your plans?"

"The Buddha said: 'Do not speak, do not speak'."

"You keep it a secret from me?"

"Let's talk about making money. If I can't make money and lose money, I'll pretend nothing happened."

Emperor Yong'an nodded at Zhuo Ji: "So that's the idea. Okay, I won't ask, I'll save you some face. Do you want some principal?"

Zhuo Ji stretched out his hand directly: "5000 taels."

Emperor Yong'an smiled: "Let Zhang Xian bring it to you tomorrow."

"I still need to borrow the identity of His Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an: "Borrow my identity? How do I borrow it?"

Zhuo Ji: "I want Huaman Pavilion, but 5000 taels of silver will definitely not be able to buy it, so I need to use your majesty's identity to suppress others and get Huaman Pavilion."

The smile on Emperor Yong'an's face disappeared, Zhang Xian and the others lowered their heads.Emperor Yong'an asked: "Why do you want to spend the entire pavilion?"

Zhuo Ji: "Repay your kindness. Back then, Huamange's older brothers and sisters took good care of me. Otherwise, I, a seven or eight-year-old child, would easily be snatched away by human traffickers when I wandered outside every day. They also bought me a lot of books, pens, ink and paper. Yan and those. I also learned from them my Qin and Xiao. I want to buy Huaman Pavilion and let them change jobs."

Emperor Yong'an heard that Zhuo Ji's first job as a "little money-making expert" was in Huaman Pavilion.Emperor Yong'an: "Why do you need to use my identity? You are Shunxie, my beloved servant. If you like it, it is their blessing, and it is not too much to offer it with both hands."

"That's not good. If money wasn't tight, I'd redeem them all, but I don't want to take advantage of the bustard." Zhuo Ji didn't say, if he wasn't from a good family, he knew Lei Cong again, and the house was full of flowers. The bustard still wanted to play with him.

Emperor Yong'an: "The people around you should also help you with things. Such a trivial matter still needs you to have a headache. Zhang Xian, you go and train them."

"Yes."

Emperor Yong'an: "If you want to repay your favor, you can. But they are prostitutes, and you are my servant, so your status is different."

"I know, I won't embarrass you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Xian personally trained Wang Bao, Yuan Xiu, and Chang Jing for three days. On the fourth day, Wang Bao, Qin Zhongyi, and Wu Qi brought more than a dozen imperial guards out of the palace, and spent 2000 taels of money to spend all the girls in the pavilion. , Brother Lao bought them all.Zhuo Ji's mood was so complicated, he wanted to say that it was really an evil feudal power society, but he was the one with power, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face by saying that?

There was also a palace banquet on the third day of junior high school, attended by officials of the fifth rank and above in the court, wives of the fifth rank and above pleasant, and concubines and concubines above the rank.This is the meaning of the emperor and all the officials to have fun together and spend a good year together, and it is also the only opportunity for the concubines in the harem to meet directly with the ministers of the court every year.In Mata country, there is no rule that harem concubines are not allowed to have banquets with ministers and princes, and women are not oppressed by the etiquette of three obediences and four virtues. It is just that concubines in the harem are not allowed to meet with ministers alone. Once found, they will be severely punished.

Zhuo Yizhi's third-rank honor is still there, so on this day, he will also bring his wife, who is appointed by the third-rank Shuren, into the palace. In his heart, Zhuo Yizhi really doesn't want to go, but he dare not not go.The Zhuo family is walking on thin ice right now, and any omission may lead to death.If Zhuo Yizhi had no regrets in the future, he would definitely say that he regretted it to death.

The palace banquet is scheduled for the second quarter of Shen time, that is, it will start in the middle of the afternoon and last until the second quarter of Xu time, which will take about two hours.Baixifang has prepared a lot of programs, but because Shunji is going to attend, the manager of Baixifang is extremely tense. He is afraid that any program that does not suit Shunji's heart will upset His Majesty, and he will be in big trouble .

For today's palace banquet, many people are looking forward to it. It is said that Shun Yu, the most mysterious person in Danyang Palace, is going to attend.There are also many people who want to see what kind of appearance this Shun Yu has, which will make their wise and mighty sage love him so much.

In the General's Mansion, Lin Yi, who was about to enter the palace, received a message from the palace asking him to bring his cousin Lei Cong into the palace.Lin Yi was very puzzled, why did His Majesty let him bring his cousin?Lin Yi went to find his cousin, told him about it, and asked: "During the time my father and I were away from the mansion, did you cause trouble outside?"

Hearing that His Majesty let him enter the palace with his cousin, Lei Cong, who was fearless and fearless, was a little scared.Seeing his cousin's appearance, Lin Yi asked: "What trouble did you get into!"

Lei Cong lowered his head and faltered about his grievances with Zhuo Ji and what happened at the restaurant that day.Lin Yi almost fainted when he heard this, and he took Lei Cong outside and beat him violently.Because Lin Xieshan is not in the mansion, Lin Xieshan's wife will not enter the palace today despite her orders.Lin Yi didn't want his mother and aunt to worry, so he didn't tell them.After beating Lei Cong, he asked Lei Cong to go back to the room to tidy up, and then brought Lei Cong into the palace with no abnormalities on his face and bruises under his clothes.As soon as he entered the palace, Lin Yi asked Lei Cong to wait, and he went to see His Majesty alone.

In the bedroom, Emperor Yong'an was already dressed, but Zhuo Ji was still wearing pajamas, looking like he had just been moisturized, and his hair was loose.It was less than two quarters of an hour before the palace banquet began.Emperor Yong'an waved his hands in comfort, and Chang Jing and Feng Xi, who were serving in the room, retreated.Zhuo Ji: "Your Majesty did it on purpose."

Emperor Yong'an sat down beside the bed, lifted a lock of Zhuo Ji's hair and said: "Zhuo Ji, I don't want too many people to see you, if possible, I would like to hide you in the deep palace .”

Zhuo Ji sat up: "Then I won't show up at the palace banquet today."

Emperor Yong'an shook his head again: "You are my beloved servant, you can't keep hiding. There is no strong natal family behind you. If I keep hiding you, no matter how much I pamper you, others will despise you and think that you are not as good as you are." Sexy people. Not only do I want to pamper you, but I also want to give you the confidence to be domineering and willful and special enough to shock others, so I can't hide you."

Zhuo Ji got up, leaned over, and kissed Emperor Yong'an's mouth: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an was wearing a formal dragon robe, Zhuo Ji couldn't hug him.Emperor Yong'an raised his hand and gently touched Zhuo Ji's face: "You come later, I will let Zhang Xian come over to inform you. For today's palace banquet, you must dress up and put on makeup. Makeup can be lighter, but you can't be without it."

Zhuo Ji did not refuse this time, and nodded: "I will definitely not embarrass you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an smiled, pinched Zhuo Ji's face, and stood up: "I'm leaving."

"Send the master off respectfully."

Emperor Yong'an vigorously scratched the nose of the person who deliberately seduced him, got up and left.Zhuo Ji watched Emperor Yong'an open the door and go out, and he lay back.His lower body was numb, and his legs were weak even if he wanted to go out.

As soon as Emperor Yong'an went out, Zhang Xian said, "Long live, Lin Neiwei asks to see you."

"Let him go to Qinwen Palace."

"Yes."

Emperor Yong'an went to Qinwendian, thinking that Lin Yi might have something important to ask him.As a result, Lin Yi knelt down as soon as he came, kneeling until Emperor Yong'an was at a loss.

"Yi Lam, you are..."

"Your Majesty, Lei Cong was reckless and offended His Majesty and Shun Shun. After hearing this, I was very disturbed. I came here to beg Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to be merciful! Edward Lam will definitely discipline him in the future."

Emperor Yong'an chuckled: "Get up. I still think you have something important to report. Get up."

Edward Lam kowtowed and stood up.Emperor Yong'an: "I asked you to bring Lei Cong into the palace today because I wanted to take a good look at this kid. I know about his past with Shunxi. Shunxi was sent to the palace by Zhuo's family. I couldn't tell him, but he was affectionate." Youyi has never forgotten his old friends. I am very pleased. Lei Cong has the temperament of your Lin family, but I don’t know if he is like your Lin family when he leads soldiers to fight. Shun Xing strongly recommended him to me, and said that he should be good sooner. Cultivation. Lei Cong is about to lose the crown, I feel it is too late."

Lin Yi was stunned and moved. He knelt down: "Your Majesty, Lei Cong's wish since he was a child was to follow his father to fight in the battlefield and wrap his body in horse leather! He is ready to fight this year's martial arts!"

Emperor Yong'an: "It's good that he has such ambition. But my plan is to let Lei Cong follow you to form a firearms battalion. You have to give it to me, to the Mata country, to train the first army to use firearms for combat." , are you confident?"

Lin Yi's eyes widened, and he kowtowed: "I thank Your Majesty for your grace! I will die!"

"Okay. After the flintlock and artillery are announced, I will make an order. You go first."

"Yes!"

Edward Lam kowtowed again, got up and retreated.After Lin Yi left, Emperor Yong'an shook his head with a smile, got up and left as well.Go to Shoukang Palace to pick up the Queen Mother.

Leaving Fengtian Temple, Lin Yi, who found his cousin, immediately slapped his cousin on the head.The beaten Lei Cong lowered his head, not daring to say anything.Lin Yi: "You are lucky! Not only do you not blame you, but I also recommend you to His Majesty. You boy, where is your shit luck!"

Lei Cong was stunned, and looked up with surprise in his eyes: "Cousin! What are you talking about? By the way, by the way, recommend me to His Majesty?"

Lin Yi: "I'll talk about this matter back home. At the palace banquet later, please watch your eyes carefully and don't aim at them randomly! By the way, you are His Majesty's favorite servant. By the way, I miss you For the sake of affection, but you are not allowed to have rules, do you hear me!"

Lei Cong lowered his head and sniffed: "I heard it."
