"What's so bad about being a eunuch? That is, this year, the palace arrested the Wei Party and purged a large number of eunuchs, which led to an urgent shortage of eunuchs, so the conditions were relaxed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIf you put aside the previous years, generally a cat and a dog can't be a eunuch if they want to enter the palace. ”

Qin Shuhuai shook his head, "Anyway, I want the little one to be a eunuch, and the little one would rather die! If Grandpa Wang really wants to cleanse the little one, he will kill the little one with one sword." ”

"The little baby's heart is as stubborn as our family was back then. After a pause, he said, "What's the baby's name?"

"The little one is called Qin Shuhuai. ”

"Oh, Qin Shuhuai, hehe, do you know who our family is?" the old eunuch said again.

"I know, you are the prince and grandfather, you are the biggest in this royal prison, and you must be the most trusted person by the emperor. ”

The old eunuch smiled and said, "The baby is not only clever, but also has a sweet mouth." Listen, our family's surname is Wang, and we have been serving since Long Live Lord was a child. All kinds of things inside and outside the palace, whether it is the celebrant supervisor, the royal eunuch or the Shang Shan supervisor, will more or less handle some of them. But whether it is a eunuch or not, as the people of the Ming Dynasty, we all have to share the emperor's worries, do you say yes or no?"

After hearing this, Qin Shuhuai looked at the old eunuch carefully, and was slightly stunned: This old man is not Wang Chengen, right?

Chongzhen's three most trusted eunuchs: Cao Huachun, Wang Dehua, and Wang Chengen. Among these three, the one who has the deepest relationship with Chongzhen is none other than Wang Chengen. In history, he brought Chongzhen up, he and Chongzhen are like loving fathers and children in a sense, someone once commented: on rape, no one in Chongzhen once raped him Wang Chengen, on loyalty, Chongzhen once no one was loyal to him Wang Chengen. But no matter whether he is a traitor or loyal, he is a father who desperately wants his children to become successful, although he failed to help in the end, but his life is for Chongzhen. So when Chongzhen hanged himself in the end, he felt that there was nothing to be nostalgic for in the world, so he hanged himself on the side.

Knowing this, Qin Shuhuai also knew how to speak.

"Grandpa Wang is right, today's saints are wise and martial, and in just a few months after ascending the throne, they have removed the scourge of the Wei Party, which is really gratifying. The emperor is a great Ming monarch, and with a great loyal minister like you to assist, the revival of my Ming Dynasty is just around the corner in the future. As the people of the Ming Dynasty, we should work harder to share the emperor's worries and solve problems. As long as we follow the emperor wholeheartedly, we are not afraid of not living a good life. ”

Wang Chengen, who said this, smiled, like a loving father who was as happy as he heard his child being praised.

"Alright! After laughing, he added, "That's what you really think." ”

Qin Shuhuai said solemnly, "Grandpa Wang, as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, what can I think if I don't think so? Only when the emperor is good, we ordinary people can be good, this reason is very simple." I just don't read much, I only know how to write, and I don't know how to write, otherwise I would like to make a name for myself and serve the court. ”

Wang Chengen chuckled, "Oh?

Qin Shuhuai said embarrassedly, "I recognize it, but I don't know how to write because I have too many strokes." ”

It's the truth. For modern people, there is generally no problem in reading traditional characters, but I am afraid that few will be able to write.

Wang Chengen nodded, handed a plate of pastries on the table to Qin Shuhuai, and said with a pleasant face, "Little Shuzi, are you hungry, come and eat some pastries." ”

Qin Shuhuai was indeed so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, so he ate it unceremoniously, and ate all the pastries on the plate after a short time with tea.

Wang Chengen looked at Qin Shuhuai with a smile after eating, and then said, "Little Shuzi, you said that you don't want to be a eunuch, and you can do it." For the sake of your worries about the emperor, our family will arrange a good errand for you. ”

Qin Shuhuai was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's a good errand?"

Wang Chengen lightly spit out two words from his mouth, "Dongchang!"

Qin Shuhuai was first surprised, and then rejoiced, he really wanted something!

Hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Grandpa Wang, the kid doesn't know martial arts and has little qualifications, how can he afford the big responsibility of Dongchang!"

The words are full of sincerity and fear.

Although he was full of joy, from this moment on, he began to hide his ambitions.

What kind of environment was it at the end of the Ming Dynasty? In the 17 years of Chongzhen's reign, nearly 50 of the first assistants were replaced! Many of them were killed. As for the governors, governors and other high-ranking officials, they were killed at will. What does this mean? Suspicion is rife in the court, whether in front of the emperor or in front of the ministers, as long as you show the slightest ambition, what awaits you is the disaster of death. He Wang Chengen wants to go to Dongchang by himself, just because he wants to become his eagle dog, if he accidentally finds out that this eagle dog has the ambition to replace himself, I'm afraid he will stew you in the next second!

So at this point, he couldn't be careless for a moment. If you want to pretend to be a pig, you have to pretend to be from the beginning!

Wang Chengen said, "Get up, our family says you can do it, you can do it." ”

Qin Shuhuai lay on the ground, still showing an unconfident expression on his face, and said, "Grandpa Wang, you, do you really think I can do it?"

Wang Chengen snorted lightly and said without yin or yang, "You are ruthless at a young age, proficient in flattery, and have a good ability to pretend to be a ghost, and you are born to be a good eagle dog in Dongchang." It's not just our family, I'm afraid that Cao Dugong will like it when he sees you. Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you will be prosperous and rich in the future. ”

Qin Shuhuai frowned slightly, Cao Dugong? That should be Cao Huachun. That's right, after the fall of Wei Zhongxian in history, it was Cao Huachun who was in charge of the East Factory, and now Wang Chengen is still a eunuch under his name in name, at most he belongs to the second in command of the East Factory.

Qin Shuhuai kowtowed heavily again and said, "Since Grandpa Wang said so, the little one must do his best to do things for Dongchang and the emperor." From now on, whatever Grandpa Wang says, the little one will do. ”

Wang Chengen nodded, and said, "However, although you have entered the East Factory, you have no identity for the time being." Because what we want you to do needs to be very secretive. ”

Qin Shuhuai was slightly stunned, but immediately nodded again, "The little one doesn't want to have any identity, the little one knows, as long as he does things for Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Wang will definitely not treat the little one badly." ”

Wang Chengen laughed, "Little cub, this mouth is really cute." Listen, our family wants you to go to the Jianghe Gang in Qingwu Town and secretly inquire about a person named Li Daliang. This person is the behind-the-scenes controller of the Jianghe Gang, who has always had ill intentions to fight against the imperial court, and is a prisoner designated by the emperor. However, this person's whereabouts are strange, and you need to be patient to find out. ”

Qin Shuhuai thought for a while and said, "The little one knows." It's just that that person is the controller of the Jianghe Gang, and presumably only a few bigwigs in the gang know his whereabouts. Xiao's status is humble, I'm afraid that even if he enters the Jianghe Gang, he will never have a chance to meet him. ”

Wang Chengen said with a smile, "Our family asked you to go to the Jianghe Gang, naturally there is a way to let you rise step by step, you don't need to worry about this." However, there is one thing you need to keep in mind. ”

"Grandpa Wang, please speak. ”

Wang Chengen's face changed, and he said a little gloomy, "Only you and I know about this matter, if you let the third person know, our family will definitely take your life!"
