Chapter Twelve: Entering the Palace
Forbidden City, the Minister of Lili.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian finished reading the tickets sent from the cabinet and stretched his heart. A little eunuch on the side had already brought him a hand stove.
Sandalwood charcoal was added to the hand stove, which was warm. Wei Zhongxian covered the hand stove and glanced at him, but saw a eunuch kneeling outside.
He said lightly: "What's the matter?"
When Wei Zhongxian saw the tickets sent by the cabinet, he hated people to disturb him the most, so the eunuchs who came could only kneel in the corner obediently, and only then did they say back and forth when Wei Zhongxian had free time.
This eunuch was naturally the one who went to read the edict yesterday. He did not dare to stand up, but walked forward and whispered: "Nine thousand years old, the new hundred households, please enter the palace to serve."
Wei Zhongxian seemed not to take this matter to heart, and just said lightly: "Oh, I understand."
It was just a small household who made contributions. Although he felt that this person wanted to enter the palace, Wei Zhongxian felt a little surprised, there was no need to worry about such a thing.
The eunuch said again: "There is another thing. He also gave the slave a pearl. At first, the slave thought that this pearl was not worth much, but later he found an expert to take a look. They said that this pearl was rare and valuable."
As he said that, he carefully held the pearl and raised it over his head.
Wei Zhongxian didn't look at the pearl, but just sneered: "This kid is a man who knows the matter. You who read the will will give you such a gift."
The little eunuch smiled and said, "Yes, I'm afraid he will enter the palace and see the opportunity. He will have to give him a generous gift to nine thousand years old."
"We care about these?" Wei Zhongxian looked disdainful, but he couldn't help but feel moved.
If this small family is currying to us, what will they give?
The voice of the little eunuch interrupted Wei Zhongxian's thoughts: "Nine Thousand Sui is dedicated to the public and self-disciplined, and is known to everyone. Who doesn't know that Nine Thousand Sui has only assisted His Majesty in his heart and has no selfless love..."
Wei Zhongxian suddenly felt harsh when he heard it, and his face changed, and he looked disgusted: "Get out!"
Little eunuch: "..."
……………………
On the other end, Zhang Jingyi arrived at the Xihuamen Bell and Drum Tower in a vigorous spirit.
In fact, in Zhang Jingyi's opinion, the Forbidden City has been in disrepair for a long time. After all, the palace city has been standing for more than two hundred years and has been repaired for several years, but it still looks dull.
No wonder the emperors later loved to build new palaces. After all, no one liked to live in a house that had been around for hundreds of years.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Zhang Jingyi.
In addition to the instinct of being a project manager, I want to shovel the things I see and do just that I can make a little bit of it on it. I get used to it, but I feel itchy when I see it.
Although the Han general belonged to the Jinyiwei, he actually had nothing to do with the duties of the Jinyiwei.
The person responsible for the garrison of the Han general was Zhang Jingyi's old acquaintance, and it was the current Nan and Bo Chen Zhengfeng.
Of course, in the Ming Dynasty's etiquette and law, almost all the affairs in the palace were presided over by nobles and old ministers, but most of them were just names. Only on some grand occasions could the Nan and Bo come out to meet.
At other times, everyone went to the Bell and Drum Tower to click Mao, and the person in charge of this place was a thousand households.
The Thousand House officials also obviously felt that the Han general had no future and was old, so he met Zhang Jingyi, a new householder who came to Damiao. After looking at him with a caring and mentally retarded expression, he smiled and said, "It turns out that young people are terrifying. At a young age, they have such ambition. Come to the bell and drum tower of Xihuamen. It's good, not bad."
Zhang Jing felt funny in her heart, as if everyone was praising herself now, as if everyone loved her.
Then the fraudster's official said, "The palace is different from outside the palace. In this palace, the rules are strict. You are the son of the Jinyiwei, and I think you have heard of it a little. Our great Han generals have three taboos on duty. These three taboos are all death sentences. One is that they cannot be said; the second is that they cannot be heard, and the third is that they cannot be moved."
Zhang Jing couldn't help but say, "Will that be a mute, a deaf and a wooden stake?"
The old man was happy and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, that's it. After all, we are not eunuchs. Eunuchs serve people, and we are protectors. Therefore, we cannot ask His Majesty for your compassion. No matter when, you cannot speak at will. Even if you have farts, you have to hold it in. And you cannot listen. No matter what Your Majesty says, it has nothing to do with you. You can just stand like a wooden stake. If you violate these three things, it is a death sentence. Of course, you are a child of the Jinyiwei and a young young man. I still care about you. In this day spirit, Your Majesty and noble people rarely walk around and are the most leisurely. You can occasionally hide and stay lazy. Just go there and pay attention to it."
As he spoke, Zhang Jingyi had already started to pull things into his sleeves.
The fraudster still felt strange. In a blink of an eye, Zhang Jingyi took out a ingot of silver and stuffed it into the fraudster's hand.
He said, "The first time I met Qianhu, I thought you would take care of me so much. This is a small meaning. But I had a reluctant invitation, hoping to be transferred to Xiyuan."
There is a Taiye Pool in Xiyuan. If Emperor Tianqi falls into the water, it is very likely that he will be there.
Moreover, the Forbidden City was old, so starting from Emperor Zhengde, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty all liked to work in Xiyuan.
The purpose of Zhang Jing's entry into the palace was to change this period of history. If he could not go to Xiyuan, then this Han general would have no meaning.
The old fraudster shocked and looked down at the silver ingots stuffed in his hand, dumbfounded.
He wanted to ask, what's wrong with young people nowadays?
You know, it is the hardest to go to Xiyuan to work on duty. The Han general was originally a Qingshui Yamen. Moreover, the boy in front of him had a leisurely place and insisted on going to the most difficult place. For this... he also gave money...
The old family thought that no one had given him money for a long time, but he was a little uncomfortable. His face turned red and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to push the money back.
But Zhang Jingyi continued to push the silver into his hand, his eyes firmly.
The old fraudster also took the opportunity and then coughed desperately: "This...this...can't do it..."
The money was stuffed into the sleeves with no means of trouble. It was obvious that the fraudsters adapted quickly, and then they smiled and said, "You have thought it yourself. If you want to go to Xiyuan, it will naturally be up to you."
Zhang Jingyi said without a doubt: "I have already thought about it, so I will ask thousands of households to fulfill it."
"Okay." The old man looked at Zhang Jingyi with gentle eyes. This kid... was becoming more and more pleasing to him.
…………
When Zhang Jing was led to Xiyuan, he knew how bad this place was.
Along the shimmering Taiye Pool, there are layers of attic pavilions. Under the sunshine, several temples are reflected in the lake, with green trees in shade, and the air seems to be cool, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Of course, this is a place where the emperor enjoys, but not what he Zhang Jingyi enjoys.
He was arranged outside a hall on the embankment between Taiye Pool. This hall was called Qinzheng Hall, next to a white jade railing, and then... stood up and was not allowed to move.
Fan Yang hat with an iron shell on his head, a fish suit, a knife, and split his feet a little, just like that... he started standing in a stake.
The tragic thing is that although he is called Baihu here, he is actually a guard and guard.
Half an hour passed this stop, and Zhang Jing felt sweating profusely.
Isn’t this a military training?
But at this moment, he couldn't complain.
Occasionally, eunuchs rushed by. Of course, these eunuchs treated him as air and hurriedly entered and exited the Qinzheng Hall without even looking at him.
It was noon when the sun was coming, and suddenly a eunuch came with a few people, swinging his hands back and forth, as if driving away flies.
So, Zhang Jing saw other great generals turning around quickly, carrying the imperial road behind him.
Zhang Jingyi was also busy turning around and facing Taiye Pool.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves came, as if a large group of people passed by him.
This...it must be the Imperial Veteran.
But Zhang Jingyi was sadly discovering that he thought he could meet Emperor Tianqi, but the Han general did not even have the qualifications to look up and see the emperor.
Once the emperor's emperor arrives, he must turn around and not look directly at the dragon's face.
And at the end of the day, Zhang Jingyi could only stand like a wooden stake.
