In Beijing, most people are still living a peaceful life, because there are Taiwanese troops on the front line to resist those foreign invaders, so the people in their Beijing city are living a peaceful life, and there is not too much chaos and crowding. But now Wang Guorui is here looking at this huge Qing court, and is preparing to carry out some rectification. Because this court is too big, enough for them to be very numerous. And if there is nothing wrong with this, there should be more than 1,900 palace maids in it, and there are many eunuchs and other eunuchs. This made Wang Guorui sigh that this life was "too corrupt".

"How many palace maids and eunuchs are there in this court?" Wang Guorui asked.

And Li Zhanfeng, the director of the chamberlain next to him, immediately said: "In this palace, there are a total of 1,923 palace maids, and there are about 2,000 eunuchs. These are all people who serve as servants in the palace, and then Lord Wang, do you want to ask them to serve? ”

"No, I don't need that many people. What's more, these guys, who knows if there will be any people who are die-hard loyal to the Manchus in them? If they remain loyal to the Manchus, then we will be in trouble. If it's easy to divulge secrets, it wouldn't be good if they had any assassination intentions. But you can call some of them, and I'm going to announce something! Wang Guorui said.

Li Zhanfeng immediately asked the staff officers of the chamber to inform the various eunuch leaders of the original palace, and let them come to Wang Guorui. They all looked at Wang Guorui one by one, obviously not knowing what to do. After a while, someone finally reacted.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" A eunuch took the initiative to speak.

When the other eunuchs heard this, they couldn't help but curse secretly, this opportunity was actually preempted, and those who were still standing just now. They all knelt down the mountain together and shouted long live, and then apparently prepared to swear allegiance to Wang Guorui, the "new emperor". However, Wang Guorui doesn't trust them, no matter how much they shout long live, Wang Guorui will not pay attention to them.

"Well, you don't have to be polite here. There's no point in you doing that. However, I am not yet emperor, so you don't want to be so quick to do it. Wang Guorui said.

"Yes, yes, since the emperor doesn't like it, then we will change the name!" A eunuch said.

A eunuch immediately came to Wang Guorui and asked, "Lord Wang, what are you asking us to do?" ”

These eunuchs were not in a hurry, because they thought that Wang Guorui would not clean them up. As these eunuchs, they are also born to serve people. No matter who becomes the emperor, isn't it time for them to serve? Therefore, most of the people are not too anxious in the future, they think that this Wang Guorui should continue to appoint them. And these eunuchs will at least not worry about themselves in this life, and even in the future, they will be able to continue to hold real power. Because in their "outdated and backward" thinking, the emperor relied on eunuchs to restrain those officials, so they thought that Wang Guorui could not do without him. But they don't know that these are some feudal ideas. Wang Guorui won't do that.

"Now, I decide. It is necessary to put the court in order. You eunuchs, palace maids, etc., we will gradually make other arrangements. In the future, the court will not need so many people! Wang Guorui said.

"What? Lord Wang, you don't need us anymore? "Someone was shocked right away.

"Yes, not anymore. In the future, our court will not need so much. You eunuchs and palace maids will all be dismissed! Wang Guorui said.

Hearing that they were going to be dismissed, these eunuchs were really flustered. Many of them have been in the palace since they were children, and if they are not able to serve people, then I am afraid they will not have the skills to make a living. Right now. Wang Guorui wanted to dismiss them, which made them all feel very shocked, and they didn't know what to do. Moreover, since ancient times, I have heard of increasing the number of eunuchs and palace maids, but I have rarely heard of the dismissal of eunuchs and palace maids. Moreover, working outside, where is there oil and water working in the palace? And, if you make it popular, you can even hold power and become a figure of the times!

"Lord Wang, I don't want to leave, I want to stay and serve you, Lord Wang!" One of the eunuchs immediately knelt down and said.

"Yes! Lord Wang, we know the destiny of heaven very well, Lord Wang, you are the true son of heaven! "Yes! Lord Wang, if you don't want us, then who will serve those future ladies! ”

These eunuchs began to cry one by one, and then obviously hoped that Wang Guorui would keep them, but Wang Guorui would not keep them, because these guys were all useless guys, what was the use of Wang Guorui leaving them? Wang Guorui won't keep them in the future, keeping these guys is too feudal and can't keep up with the times at all, if they let them follow him, there will definitely be problems. Even, if they were to teach their sons, they would probably go crazy. At that time, teach your son what kind of feudal monarchs and ministers, then after his death, his dynasty will be overthrown by the revolution!

Therefore, these feudal outdated ideas must not be allowed to stay in the future court, otherwise they can still deal with it when they are alive, and once they die, their son will definitely finish the country.

"I'll give you some way out, and you can choose at your own discretion. The first is to leave the palace by yourself to make a living, but we will give you severance pay according to your length of service. If you enter the palace for a month, we will give you a certain amount of money as severance pay. Of course, in view of the fact that you are rootless people and have no descendants to provide for your retirement, our new government will also understand you, and we do not need you to pay pension insurance and medical insurance, we can directly subsidize you as a new pension and medical insurance, so that you will at least not have to worry about pension and medical care when you are old. However, after you retire, you will have to find a job on your own and survive on your own. If you're willing to start your own business, then we won't stop you. This method, severance pay is the most. ”

But the eunuchs still did not give up, and said, "Lord Wang, we are all servants of the people, and I am afraid that there is nothing to do when we go out." Moreover, we have to be looked down upon, so can we be given another way? ”

"Second, that is, we are going to open some state guesthouses, and you go to the state guesthouses to work as waiters!" Wang Guorui said.

"State Guesthouse?" Hearing this, there are still some people who are not very satisfied.

Because most of them used to serve the emperor, they were very "proud" to say this. Now he actually has to serve others, even if it is a foreign guest, it is just an ordinary person, not an emperor! This made them very unhappy too.

"Lord Wang, is there anyone who can stay in the palace?"

"Yes, we will open the first half of the palace for a long time in the future, that is, the 'front court' in the front and back bedrooms, and as long as you are willing to pay the entrance fee, you can also come in and visit. And the consumption of this ticket money will be included in the maintenance of various facilities of the palace. And these tourists, who need tour guides, can select some people to be tour guides. Wang Guorui said.

"What? Slaves are all dead, Lord Wang, don't do this! So, does royal majesty still exist? "Yes! Lord Wang, if anyone can enter the palace casually to visit, then the majesty of the royal family will also be preserved? "Lord Wang, no, you can't do this!" ……

The eunuchs all knelt on the ground, hoping that Wang Guorui would take back this matter that had damaged the royal majesty. But Wang Guorui will never take it back, because the road of imperial autocracy will become more and more difficult to walk in the future, and it is not possible to go down casually. In the 21st century, the royal families of the vast majority of developed countries have also played the pro-people card, and they have made a pro-people appearance anyway. If anyone still deliberately maintains the dignity of a monarch, then you are a fool who pretends to be unable to become a city! If the royal family of any country deliberately puts on a high-minded appearance in the later generations, it will definitely be sprayed. At that time, you don't say anything noble, people will spray you directly into a piece of shit. Don't think that this kind of thing can't happen, the future absolute monarchy is almost impossible. Any country that follows an absolute monarchy will close itself off from the country without discomfort, and then the whole country will be very backward. For example, a neighboring country next to China, or a country in the Middle East, those are also to maintain absolute monarchy, and in the end the country has no economic development to speak of, and the level of the whole country is very poor.

"Which of the three paths do you choose? You choose for yourself, anyway, we won't need you in the future, you can do it yourself. Wang Guorui said.

Then, Wang Guorui asked these eunuchs to convey the meaning of Wang Guorui's "new emperor", and then those eunuchs were helpless. Because they originally served the emperor, but now that they have changed their status, it is very different. In the past, relying on the big tree of imperial power could completely make many people not afraid of fear, but now people ignore them, so they have nothing to say about majesty. Now, the change of dynasty has not only revolutionized the life of the Qing Dynasty, but also the life of many old ideas, and these eunuchs are all products of feudal royal power, so naturally they will not stay. Therefore, let them all leave mellowly, this is an inevitable situation. (To be continued......)
