After a while.
Xu Yi stood inside the gate of Youningyuan and watched the team slowly leave.
"Let's go."
After everyone disappeared from sight, Xu Yi turned around and walked towards the courtyard.
"Master Liu, will we be free in a few days?"
Zhao Shou hurriedly caught up with Xu Yi and asked loudly with excitement.
"It's just a short period of freedom."
Xu Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Emperor Zhengde's oral instructions made it very clear.
Xu Yi is allowed to participate in the heaven-sacrifice ceremony four days later.
But before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Xu Yi was still a sinner and was still not allowed to step out of Youningyuan.
As for whether he can truly gain freedom after the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.
It depends on Xu Yi's own ability.
If we can solve the problem of disaster relief, we will naturally be able to regain a new life.
If it cannot be solved, I am afraid that I will never have the chance to leave Ningningyuan again in this life.
"oh."
Zhao Shou nodded in understanding.
Then put this matter aside, even if it is short-term freedom, it is freedom.
"By the way, Master Six, why doesn't the old eunuch accept our money?"
"In the past, every time we asked the eunuchs at Zongzheng Temple to do a little favor, they would charge us some money, covertly or covertly."
"I won't return the yin and yang's anger."
"Why are the eunuchs in this palace different?"
Zhao Shou scratched his head, puzzled.
"What's the difference? It's just that what you want is different."
"The eunuchs at Zongzheng Temple saw that our master and servant were guilty, so naturally what they wanted was money."
"The old eunuch is different. He came here deliberately to seek good luck."
Xu Yi walked towards the house non-stop. Xu Yi could see every move of the old eunuch.
Keep it in mind.
"A good relationship?"
Zhao Shou was confused when he heard this and couldn't help scratching his head again.
"At first, the old eunuch put on a smile that was asking for money. He was obviously testing you and me."
"If you and I take the road, he will refuse our money."
"This is a good way to create a good relationship."
Xu Yi stopped and faced Zhao Shou and explained clearly.
Zhao Shou and him were connected by fate. If Xu Yi could get out of Youningyuan.
How can you not have a truly trustworthy person by your side?
Zhao Shou was certainly good at martial arts, but his conduct as a person was still far behind.
The eight years of confinement in Youningyuan have restricted Zhao Shou too much.
Zhao Shou himself is not stupid.
She was even a little smart, and I think this was the fundamental reason why Queen Zhao protected Zhao Shou alone.
Loyal and smart. Only such people can truly feel at ease when using them.
"Then what if we didn't give it to him from the beginning?"
Zhao Shou scratched his head and asked again. Apart from anything else, his eagerness to learn and inquisitiveness alone surpassed that of most servants.
"If we don't give it to him, it would be unethical."
"If we don't follow the truth, he will trick us overtly or covertly."
Xu Yi smiled and analyzed.
"Why?"
The more Zhao Shou listened, the more confused he became.
"We have been imprisoned for eight years, and now we have a chance to get out of Netherworld."
"He couldn't tell whether we would soar or fall back into the quagmire."
"That's why the old eunuch made this probing move."
"If we take the high road and secretly bribe people with money, it means that our minds are not completely imprisoned by Netherworld."
"The more transparent our minds are, the less he dares to accept the money."
"If we didn't secretly bribe him with money, it means that our minds have been completely imprisoned by Netherworld."
"A prince who has been imprisoned for eight years has no way of changing his mind. This kind of person even walks out of Netherworld."
"He will also offend most of the powerful people over various trivial matters."
"For such a person, it doesn't matter even if you charge him some money. After all, you can tell from small things that this person has little future."
"For the old eunuch, such a person will naturally not threaten him."
Xu Yi's face gradually became serious, and he analyzed Zhao Shou word by word.
"What Mr. Liu means is that in the end the old eunuch saw that we were on the road, so he refused to accept our money."
"This is a good way to win our favor. If we become successful in the future, the old eunuch will also help us."
"To achieve mutual benefit."
Zhao Shou's eyes brightened, he clapped his hands suddenly, and blurted out his inner thoughts.
"Yes, that's exactly it."
Xu Yi smiled and patted Zhao Shou on the shoulder, but it was not in vain that he spent so much words.
"But."
"But Mr. Liu, he didn't leave a name in the end. Even if we become famous, we still can't find him."
"If we can't even find him, how can we talk about mutual benefit."
Zhao Shou asked with doubts on his face.
"Precisely because he didn't leave a name, it wouldn't be offensive."
Xu Yi raised his head and sighed. There is a lot of emotion in my heart.
There are really no stupid people in this palace.
If that person leaves his name, it will definitely give people the feeling that they are rushing to seek good fortune.
This feeling cannot be said to be bad, but it will arouse others' disgust to a certain extent.
The old eunuch's handling method was just right.
It will not offend people, but it will also make people remember his kindness.
"Zhao Shou, why did the old eunuch come here today?"
Xu Yi asked knowingly, sometimes blind teaching cannot solve the problem well.
If you change the way, you may get different results.
"Pass the message."
Zhao Shou scratched his head and replied.
"Who can leave the palace to carry out edicts?"
"And it's still an oral instruction that's not in writing?"
Xu Yi is good at teaching.
"Sixth Master!"
"I see!"
"They are people close to His Majesty! Only such people can get His Majesty's orders."
Zhao Shou suddenly clapped his palms, a look of realization dawning on his face.
"Children can be taught. It is those who are close to His Majesty who have the opportunity to deliver oral instructions to His Majesty."
"Does this kind of person still need to give his name?"
"If we can attend the court meeting one day, wouldn't it be a matter of course for us to know his name?"
Xu Yi smiled and encouraged.
"Sixth Master, there must be too many people in this palace who are crooked."
Zhao Shou said angrily.
"Is it much?"
"not much."
"Remember Zhao Shou, if the old eunuch didn't have so many crooked intestines, he wouldn't live to this age."
"It's even less likely that he will have his current status."
"You know, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger."
"The old eunuch also walked on countless bones along the way."
"Those who are not clear-minded and do not have so much scheming have already become skeletons in the way of others."
Xu Yi looked deeply into Zhao Shou's eyes and spoke word by word.
"Zhao Shou, if we don't try to integrate into the outside world."
"One day, we, master and servant, will become skeletons under others' feet."
“Be a stepping stone for others to move up the ladder.”
After Xu Yi finished speaking, he patted Zhao Shou heavily on the shoulder, and then strode towards the house.
