In fact, Wang Zhong had no choice but to use personal attachment in exchange for a sense of security for the future!
He is already very old, so old that there is no possibility of promotion. Even if he gets rich, he will not enjoy it much. More money is a waste!
What Wang Zhong wants is a kind of relief from the fear of the future ending, an attempt!
I am a eunuch, or an old eunuch. Anything that I don't know how to do is dark and useless in society!
If I were abandoned alive into the society, there would be only one fate, and that would be to die alone! Very miserable!
Faced with such an inevitable outcome, what other options does he have besides personal attachment? The Forbidden City is no longer accessible. What other options are there besides the palace?
In fact, Wang Zhong's behavior cannot be judged by good or bad, let alone forgetting his loyalty. Who else has been loyal to him?
Prince Gong and Cheng Beile dare not make a killing move, so I, Wang Zhong, will do it. I will use this behavior to show my allegiance to you, and use Man Shun's head to show how strong my attachment to the palace is in my life!
Maybe there will be a slight possibility that Prince Gong and Cheng Beile will be slightly moved, thus giving him a peaceful ending!
Even if he can't die in the palace of old age, with this little merit, the prince will still have to reward him with some money!
Isn't the silver dollar under the quilt his reward for coming here?
What a pity, Wang Zhong wanted to use Manshun's life as a pledge of surrender, so naturally Fifth Master also used his head as a pledge of surrender. Every human life is just a knock-on gift from all forces at this moment!
After listening to Bu Quan's words, Zai Chun was silent for a long time. This was the first time that he had heard about the issue of eunuchs providing care for the elderly!
In my previous life, all I thought about was to do big things, to govern the country, to reform and innovate, and everyone around me had to follow the banner of my ideals and move forward!
But no one has ever told him that these people who follow him are not machines or data on paper. They are living people who have to eat, drink, defecate, live, grow old, get sick, and die!
There were so many eunuchs in the Forbidden City. This was the first time that Zai Chun knew that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had not been responsible for the aging and death of eunuchs for two hundred years!
"Is everything he... said true?" Zai Chun asked.
Da Sixi's face turned pale and she didn't know how to answer, but she still wanted to please Lord Long Live, "Actually...it doesn't seem to be that serious. The old eunuchs sent back by the palace are all used to support the family..."
"Hahaha... Mr. Manager, you must be conscientious when you speak! You only have twenty or thirty taels of money to support your family. What can you do in this world?"
"Eunuchs who leave the palace are like rootless duckweeds. Do you know how many street gangsters are just waiting to rob and deceive us old-eyed losers?"
"How many people can protect the money you have saved in your life? Tell me..."
Bu Quan also risked his life. Wang Zhong's death made him feel the sadness of a rabbit dying and a fox dying. He knew that his future ending would not be much better!
Zai Chun waved his hand, "Stop talking! I can't just think about big things in governing the country. Master once said that a huge undertaking is just composed of small things done!"
"I have heard the story of a horseshoe losing a war a long time ago...Wang Zhong really taught me a big lesson today!"
"The loopholes in the system that lasted for more than two hundred years stabbed me hard today! Who is to blame?"
"Who is not born and raised by his parents, and who doesn't want to have a good death... This is a great desire of human beings, how can we ignore it?"
"Bu Quan, I have an errand for you. During this time, you can go and count for me how many old eunuchs around the capital have been deported and are still alive. The list is ready!"
"Then how many old eunuchs are about to be deported in the palace... I will go back and find a Buddhist temple, and I will leave my body and use my own money to house you in your old age!"
"From now on, as long as they are old eunuchs who have worked in the Forbidden City all their lives... I can't let them die of cold and hunger, and I can't let them not even have a thin-skinned coffin!"
"Long live!" Bu Quan screamed miserably and hit his head on the ground. "Holy King! Your Majesty, the Eternal Holy King! You have accumulated great virtues!"
"Your Majesty... Wuwuwu..." Bu Quan cried like a ghost. All the eunuchs around him were infected. They knelt on the ground and choked with sobs.
"Your Majesty... Human hearts are made of flesh. Your Majesty treats us slaves like this... If anyone dares to rebel against Your Majesty in the future, we will tear his flesh alive and eat him!"
Zai Chun waved his hand, "Go down! Bu Quan will be promoted to deputy general manager from today, and he will be responsible for the care of eunuchs and maids in their old age. I promise to give you a good death!"
Bu Quan was helped down, crying all the way. The division commander Ma Ming pointed at the head and said, "Your Majesty! What should I do with Wang Zhong's head?"
"What else can I do! Just bury it. I don't have the strength to hate others at this moment!"
"Password...Xiao Sixi will go to the Fifth Prince's house tomorrow and give him two pieces of the gold pocket watch I brought from Europe. Needless to say, it's just a reward for him to play with!"
"I'm tired, I want to rest... If there is any big battle, please wait for me to plan it tomorrow!"
On this day, Emperor Tongzhi was exhausted. What happened from morning to night had exceeded the limit of his energy!
The night is deep, and people in Sijiu City have long entered their dreams, but many, many people cannot sleep!
In Chongwenmen Suzhou Hutong, Ermao's house is still brightly lit. In the east wing of the front yard, Dr. Buck is examining Manshun. He even used the seventeenth-century European bloodletting therapy, but Manshun never woke up. .
Dr. Buck wiped the blood on his hands and shook his head, "I can't. Now you must ask the head of state for help. The Chinese have the best field surgeons in the world right now, with Lao Huang as the highest standard!"
"Don't look at me like that. After all, Lao Huang and the others are military doctors. They have been basically integrated with the war these years. They come into contact with seriously injured people and corpses every day, and they have very rich clinical experience!"
"Eunuch Manshun's illness requires a craniotomy and bloodletting. There is no other way... There are experts among the military doctors under the head of state!"
Er Mao regretfully asked Dr. Buck to go down to rest. After ordering his servants to take care of Man Shun, he dragged his exhausted body back to the back house. However, as soon as he entered the back garden, he heard several familiar voices coming from the flower hall.
"Cai Bixia is here...Hey...Spring Thirteenth Lady has also returned to Beijing? There is another one..."
Er Mao's expression suddenly changed, and he ran to the door of the flower hall with a quick stride, opened the door and looked, "Oh my God! When did you return to Beijing!"
