"Who benefits, who is responsible..."
Zhou Yi murmured to himself, and heard the second meaning from it, that is, he would rather kill the mistake than let it go!
Emperor Hongwu was already considered a wise king, but in order to prevent the imperial power from being lost to people with different surnames, he would also kill anyone who had any suspicion.
"Old Lu, do you recognize the assassin?"
The assassin was wearing the clothes of a chamberlain, his voice was high-pitched, and his face was not covered. He was probably a master in the palace.
Lao Lu said: "That person is Wei Shitou. Well, later I asked someone to change his name. It seems to be Wei Yingfu, which is not as nice as Xiao Shitou."
"Eunuch Wei!"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but exclaimed, this is the legendary existence of the Chamberlain, the target of all those who practice the Epiphyllum Collection.
Lao Lu glanced at him and said, "You're not a bad boy either. Our family didn't expect that Eunuch Yi could actually defeat the innate grandmaster!"
Zhou Yi looked helpless. Due to the queen's death, all previous efforts were in vain. He couldn't hold back his anger for a while and exposed his martial arts strength.
After all, he worked so hard to take care of her and cared about her more than his biological father and mother. Suddenly, his dream of promotion and wealth was shattered!
Zhou Yi read a lot of books and could understand what the sages said about landslides not changing color, but he was still far from reaching this level.
"Old Lu, we didn't mean to hide it."
Lao Lu nodded and said: "We understand. Before Xiaoshi Shitou became a master of martial arts, do you know what he did?"
Zhou Yi asked: "What to do?"
"Pour night fragrance!"
Lao Lu recalled: "At that time, the Supreme Emperor was still in Jingyang Palace. Due to his long-term confinement, his temper was a bit violent. Once, it was too late to pour the night fragrance on Little Stone, so he was dragged out and killed with a stick."
"We saw how pitiful he looked, so we said a few nice words and he was spared the punishment of the rod!"
Zhou Yi praised: "Old Lu is indeed a living Bodhisattva in the palace, and he even saved Eunuch Wei."
"The fact that we can live comfortably in the cold palace depends on more than just your Majesty's reward."
Lao Lu changed his voice and said: "But you said something wrong. We did not save Xiao Shitou, but saved the life of the Supreme Emperor. At that time, Xiao Shitou was already close to being born!"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask: "Old Lu, what is innateness?"
The innate master is recorded in the Epiphyllum Book of Epiphyllum, but the method of breaking through the realm has been hidden.
"Xiantian refers to the state of the fetus when it breathes acquired Qi."
Lao Lu said: "We don't know what the specific state is. This is a secret of the country and cannot be accessed by ordinary people, so we just said a few words based on hearsay!"
Zhou Yi frowned and thought for a moment, still unable to figure it out, but he didn't pay too much attention.
After seven years of hard training regardless of longevity, the true energy is like a mighty river, and it can compete with the innate master. If you practice the true energy for another seventy years, you can beat the innate master to death without breaking through the realm!
It is nothing more than winning by quantity or winning by quality.
Zhou Yi suppressed his thoughts and asked in a low voice: "Old Lu, you have shown your strength today, will your Majesty think highly of us?"
"meeting."
Lao Lu said: "It just takes some time."
Zhou Yi's face was filled with joy. He could not gain status by drilling and planning, but it was good to be promoted by relying on brute force. After a little thought, he understood what Lao Lu meant.
Emperor Hongwu is about to die, and the new emperor will win over him again after he ascends the throne!
Lao Lu sighed: "From now on, we will be alone in this cold palace again."
Zhou Yi stood up and bowed.
"Old Lu, thank you for your care and guidance. I will come to visit you when you have time in the future!"
The old deer lay on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
"We've heard this a lot. Everyone has gained power. How can we have time to look at this bad old man like us?"
…
Thirty-eight years of Hongwu.
September.
The emperor died in the Yangxin Hall.
The next day.
Yang Si, then the chief minister of the cabinet, read out the edict of passing the throne.
Taisun Zhao Kai ascended the throne and established the Yuan Dynasty as orthodox.
…
The first year of orthodoxy.
Cold palace.
The collapsed houses have been repaired and made more comfortable than before.
The father-in-law, the supervisor of Shangyi, personally escorted two servants to plead guilty. If they dared to be lazy and did not wash the bedding, they were handed over to Zhou Yi for arbitrary punishment.
Zhou Yi looked at the two chamberlains, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing like garlic, and said with a smile.
"It's not a big deal. Just change it and you won't be punished!"
Two years ago, when he was not in the cold palace, Zhou Yi would definitely not have forgiven him. He would have cut off his hands and palms, and would have dragged him out and beat him to death.
Lao Lu's influence on Zhouyi was not only reading and giving advice, but also subtly dissipating the hostility.
Be kind to the little people and be ruthless to the big people!
Only kindness given by a high position can obtain equal or even excessive returns. Showing kindness to people of the same or greater level will only make people think you are cowardly!
Of course, on the other hand, Zhou Yi is even more ruthless than before.
I no longer send money home, I just want to climb to the highest point in the palace, gain immense power, and enjoy wealth and glory!
This day.
The sun is scorching.
Zhou Yi lay on the steps basking in the sun, with the true energy in his body circulating on its own.
No one in the world can compare with the Book of Changes in understanding of the Epiphyllum Book of Epiphyllum, and even surpass the creator. After all, Dushou, who practiced hard day and night, passed away.
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came.
"His Majesty orally."
Zhou Yiteng stood up and knelt on the ground skillfully to receive the order. When he saw that the person announcing the order was Eunuch Yuan.
After the Zhengtong Emperor ascended the throne, instead of feeling lonely, Eunuch Yuan was promoted to the position of Admiral of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and his position in the Internal Affairs Department was second only to the Chief Admiral of the Twelve Supervisors.
Moreover, since Eunuch Chu resigned, the position of general admiral has been vacant, and Eunuch Yuan can be regarded as the first eunuch.
"Congratulations to Mr. Yi."
With a smile on his face, Eunuch Yuan said, "Your Majesty has personally issued an order to promote Eunuch Yi to the position of Superintendent of Palace Supervisors, responsible for the recruitment and duty of chamberlains in the palace."
Admiral!
Surprise flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes. It was one grade higher than expected, or his majesty had no one with him, or he could buy a horse bone with a thousand gold.
"Thank you Lord for your kindness. I will do my best to protect the safety of the palace!"
Eunuch Yuan said: "Brother Yi, we serve His Majesty and we can get closer to each other in the future."
Zhou Yi heard the familiar title and responded quickly.
"Brother Yuanzi, when we first entered the palace, we didn't understand the rules. Thank you for your guidance and help. If anything happens in the future, just give us your order and we will handle it safely!"
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
I still remember that nine years ago in Bingliu House, four junior chamberlains lived and ate together, but now there are only two left, and they have all become important figures in the palace!
Return to your residence.
Zhou Yi packed up Xinruan and moved to the palace supervisor's accommodation.
The Orthodox Emperor made an exception by granting him the position of admiral. Apparently he was worried about the servants on duty, so he asked Zhou Yi to clean up the situation and recruit new people to be on duty to protect His Majesty's safety!
Lao Lu walked into the room slowly and said with a half-smile, "Admiral Yi, there is no need to clean up these rags. The palace supervisor has already prepared them for you."
"Old Lu, don't be so sinister!"
Zhou Yi smiled and said: "You often say that clothes are not as good as old ones. We are afraid that there are some poisonous insects and poisonous needles hidden in the new bedding of the palace supervisor, and it will be gone when we lie on it."
It was common for people to die in the palace. Even the emperor would fall into the water or the manure pit, and even more eunuchs died.
Zhou Yi would not forget what he saw and heard just because he was comfortable in the cold palace.
Hearing this, Lao Lu nodded with satisfaction.
"It's good for you, kid, to know. If you'd like, let me remind you that there are a few old guys on duty as palace guards who might be able to help you..."
