"Xiao Sixi, keep this photo album. This is really the best gift I received in the UK! I want to treasure it..." After saying that, Zai Chun stood up and prepared to leave the study. There was still a lot of work to prepare for signing the agreement. , at least as a matter of etiquette, he had to inform the Queen.
Da Sixi accompanied Emperor Tongzhi to see the queen. Little Sixi held a huge and heavy photo album and stuffed it into the bookcase. However, the four-fold photo album could not be stuffed in. "It seems that the British will have to move a larger one tomorrow." It’s a bookcase, why is it so heavy?”
The thought of Da Sixi accompanying Long Live Lord to meet the queen made Xiao Sixi a little disgusted. The eunuch's wealth and life were tied to the emperor, and the more favors, the better.
Throwing the photo album on the desk, he pushed away and looked around, "Who's here? Who's here?" Several young eunuchs ran over while shouting.
"Greetings to the supervisor, what are your instructions?" Xiao Sixi saw that these young eunuchs were all miscellaneous eunuchs who were not qualified to enter the study, and said impatiently, "Where is Manshun? What has he been doing..."
Just as he was talking, Manshun came up from the corner of the stairs holding a gift box.
"Manshun! Manshun... Come here quickly and help me clean up His Majesty's study. I have something important to do..."
Zai Chun left the Forbidden City and started his study tour career for several years. He did not come out alone. Some of the guards and eunuchs were assigned to him in the Forbidden City.
Four of the guards have stayed in Fujian for military training. The skeleton of the new Yulin Army will be born from there in the future, and the four eunuchs will be the masters of the Forbidden City in the future.
The four eunuchs are ranked, with Ermao first, senior eunuch second, junior eunuch third, and finally Manshun. Their positions are all supervisor-level, and they are considered famous in the Forbidden City.
When there is a ranking, there is respect and inferiority. Ermao can angrily scold Da Sixi and slap Xiao Sixi, but they don't dare to complain at all. This is hierarchical rights.
Then the same Manshun ranked fourth, and he could only listen to shouts in front of Xiao Sixi. When his immediate boss asked him, Manshun didn't dare to neglect, holding the treasure box and trotting all the way.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Sixi looked impatient. "You are lazy every day. How come you never see me in front of Long Live Lord? Don't you know how to come and serve me? You are a lazy person..."
Manshun was dumbfounded by the scolding and said to himself that my task is to help Lord Long live manage the treasury. All gifts from the envoys are under my control. My job is not to serve Lord Long live. It is not normal to not show up. ?
Besides, if I appear in front of Long Live Lord too many times, you still won’t accuse me of trying to win favor. Even Mr. Ermao, you guys are secretly laying maggots on me and feeding Long Live Lord with gossip and eye drops. I don’t have the upper hand. I'm an idiot, but if I try to compete for your favor, you won't be able to eat me alive!
He scolded in his heart but did not dare to show it on his face. He quickly bent down and said, "The manager is teaching me that I will serve you more in front of His Majesty tomorrow..."
Xiao Sixi curled her lips and said, "You? You are a clumsy tongue, can you take care of me? Okay, stop talking nonsense, go into the house and tidy up, put the photo album in the bookcase, it is His Majesty's treasure..."
"Hey... we brothers all have a hard life. Who told His Majesty to set the rules? Only the four of us can touch the personal text of Long live the Lord. The remaining lowly slaves are not even qualified to enter the house. nothing……"
"Come on, you can do your errands. I have to serve the master quickly..." After saying this, Xiao Sixi walked away.
Looking at Xiao Sixi's leaving figure, Manshun cursed in his mind, "Bah...what the hell, you've taught me so much obscene Fangzhongshu, someone will take your skin off sooner or later!"
But despite the scolding, he still had to do his work. He stared at the little eunuchs around him resentfully and cursed, "You blind thing, didn't you see that I'm thirsty? Why don't you bring me tea..."
"Yes, yes... Manager Man, we'll go there soon..." Several young eunuchs trotted away.
This is the rule in the eunuch world, the big fish eats the small fish, the small fish eats the shrimp, and the shrimp eats the mud.
Manshun walked into the study room and began to sort out the writing papers on the desk one by one. Even the waste papers in the trash can he had to open one by one and tear them into pieces when he saw any writing on them.
The four eunuchs are all literate, otherwise they would not be able to climb to such a high position. The rules set by Zai Chun are actually very correct. Anything involving secrets cannot be revealed easily. The junior eunuch is not qualified to enter the study to do such chores.
After cleaning up the waste paper in the study, he started to deal with the thick and large photo album. The quarto photo album was really big enough. Most people may not have the idea. If you give a vivid example.
A folded ordinary newspaper has an area of eight pages. If the newspaper is unfolded flat, the area folded flat will be four pages. An ordinary bookcase with such a large photo album cannot fit in it at all, so you have to find a special bookcase.
"Fuck, Xiao Sixi is deliberately trying to make things difficult for others. How can this be stuffed in? That's nonsense. Damn it, I'll kill you when I find a chance..."
While he was cursing, the copper buckle on the corner of the album poked the frame of the walnut bookcase. Man shook the thick and heavy album and hit it directly on his feet.
"Oh, my grandma... her foot bone is broken!" Manshun sat down on the carpet, held his foot and started rubbing it. The pain made him cry.
"If you weren't Long Live Lord's baby, I would have burned you today..." Manshun, who was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger, threw the evil fire at the photo album, but at this moment his eyes suddenly stopped on one picture. on the photo.
Manshun's face suddenly turned pale as if he had seen a ghost, cold air ran up his spine, and beads of sweat as big as soybeans fell down his forehead.
With a bang, he was so frightened that he quickly closed the photo album. He threw the photo album with the ghost in it into the corner. Then he kicked his legs desperately to the ground and hid behind while rubbing his butt against the carpet.
"My ancestors! What a ghost! What a ghost!" Manshun had never been so scared in his life.
But after swallowing his saliva, he couldn't help but crawl over. He wanted to confirm the unbelievable photo again!
Manshun did not know that his unintentional discovery directly exposed a huge secret and directly affected the future political structure of East Asia.
The delicate balance of all forces was about to be broken. Xiao Letian's strategic plan, which Xiao Letian originally hoped would result in less bloodshed in the Qing Dynasty, had to be adjusted. Just because this secret was revealed, less than a million people died in vain on the land of China.
The bloody storm has begun!
Everything happened just because Manshun saw a photo!
