Lower value.
Zhou Yi returned to the house and found two more teenagers.
The eldest was twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest was only eight or nine years old. They lay weakly on the bed and groaned.
The ancient father-in-law in the cleansing room told the two to pay attention to their food and prevent wounds and sores. He took the medicine box and left with the young man's gratitude, and nodded slightly to Zhou Yi before going out.
"Thank you so much, Eunuch Gu."
Zhou Yi skillfully inserted a banknote, the denomination was not big or small, fifty taels.
If the denomination is too large, it does not meet the status of "Little Shanzi". If the denomination is too small, it will be difficult to handle it, and it will be difficult to ask for help in the future.
Eunuch Gu said with satisfaction: "If Xiao Shanzi had been so sensible, he wouldn't have bothered to look at the gate."
"My father-in-law taught me a lesson."
Zhou Yi bowed to send Eunuch Gu away and returned to the house with a kind smile on his face.
"Our little Shanzi, where did these two friends come from?"
The younger boy shrank and did not dare to speak, while the older boy endured the severe pain and replied: "Grandpa Monkey, my name is Qian An, I am from Wannian County."
"You can't talk about me in the palace and call yourself our family."
Zhou Yi said: "When I meet a narrow-minded father-in-law, I feel unhappy when I hear you calling yourself me. It will definitely cause trouble."
Qian An looked grateful: "Thank you, Mr. Monkey, for your guidance."
"The supervisor's surname is Qian. I can't call you Xiao Qianzi, so let's call you Xiao Anzi."
Zhou Yi narrowed the relationship with a few words, sat beside Xiao Anzi's bed, and asked: "Wannian County is close to Qujiang River, and most of its areas are high-quality paddy fields. How did you end up selling yourself into the palace?"
"I...our family originally had five acres of paddy fields, which were close to Mr. Wang's fields. I never thought that his family would move their land every year, and five acres would become four acres, and then three acres."
Xiao Anzi said bitterly: "Dad had a few arguments with Mr. Wang, but he was beaten severely. I was so angry that I sued the Yamen. The dog judge sentenced us for picking quarrels and provoking trouble!"
The result was a slap in the face and a loss of money.
Xiao Anzi's father died of a serious injury. He sued, compensated, and received medical treatment, which emptied the family's fortune. Five acres of paddy field were given to Mr. Wang to offset the debt.
The county magistrate of Pojia is nothing more than this!
In order to avenge his father, Xiao Anzi cut off the root of his troubles and sold himself into the palace as a servant.
"Dog officer!"
Zhou Yi, the same enemy, said: "Our family was ruined by the dog official, so we entered the palace as a last resort. Fortunately, God has eyes, and the dog official has been executed!"
He scolded himself a few times and taught Xiao An the tricks of having sex in the womb. The two quickly became closer and began to call each other brothers.
Xiao Anzi said gratefully: "Our family is lucky to have met Brother Shan. Otherwise, if he had violated a taboo, he would have died without knowing why."
"Jie Jie Jie!"
Zhou Yi laughed a few times, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
There is no luck or coincidence in the world. Everything is arranged by thoughtful people. Zhou Yi needed a pawn to explore the way, so he asked Eunuch Gu to send two servants.
Eunuch Gu was good at feeling bones, and he took advantage of the time of purification to find out the bones of the eunuch.
Xiao Anzi has excellent martial arts talent, coupled with Zhouyi's guidance, practicing the Epiphyllum Book of Epiphyllum will get twice the result with half the effort, and he will surely stand out in the palace.
After the dramatic changes in the palace, it was the right time for the Chamberlain to hire people.
Xiao Anzi has a clean origin and excellent talent, so he will definitely be promoted and reused in order to reduce the influence left by Eunuch Yi in the Internal Affairs Department.
Zhou Yi looked towards the direction of the palace supervisor, where sat the chief admiral, Eunuch Zhong.
"Little Zhongzi, do you dare to accept this godson who comes to your door?"
Dare to accept it, which shows that Xiao Zhongzi does have real power, and also shows that he betrayed Zhou Yi before the palace revolution and secretly informed the Queen Mother and others.
If you don't dare, then you are just a puppet at the front desk.
Zhou Yi is more inclined to the latter. After all, if King Pingxi does not rebel, the Queen Mother and her line will definitely die.
"Neither Xiao Zhongzi nor Xiao Xuzi is capable of regicide. Holding a high position without great achievements is probably a trap to lure our family to seek revenge!"
A night of silence.
The next day.
Zhouyi and Xiao Anzi are the same
Let's go to Dongzhifang for dinner.
Another young chamberlain, named Xiao Wuzi, had a reserved temperament and followed the two of them silently, like a little follower.
When Xiao Wuzi talks to others, he always looks shivering and frightened.
Ordinary people would only regard Xiao Wuzi as timid and cowardly, but they could not hide it from Zhou Yi, who knew countless people.
No matter how much you pretend to look like on the outside, it’s hard to hide your subtle habits, such as adjusting your clothes before eating, eating vegetable leaves first and then meat slices, making no noise when chewing...
There are various signs that Xiao Wuzi was not from a poor family as he said.
Zhou Yi didn't care about Xiao Wuzi. No one in the palace had any secrets, and they would not force him to be a pathfinder. Xiao Anzi was enough.
...
It’s the end of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.
At noon.
Zhou Yi was on duty at the palace gate and heard a burst of footsteps.
All the civil and military officials went down to the court and hurried out of the palace. Most of them had gloomy faces, and the hot-tempered ones even cursed. They were obviously dissatisfied with the morning court.
"The man in the north has never been short of military pay, and the court keeps giving him money!"
"Drought will lead to drought, and flood will lead to death. Who makes you not the prince?"
"I am a loyal person to the country, and I don't want to be a king with a different surname!"
"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say!"
The officials talked to each other and discussed the situation, asking the Queen Mother to withdraw the decision to allocate military pay to the northern Xinjiang army.
After the death of the late emperor, King Zhenbei became more and more unscrupulous in his actions.
First, they used the excuse that the governor of Xuanfu was embezzling military pay, and beheaded the officials without going through the three divisions. Then they demolished the administrative offices of Dongchang and Zhenfu divisions, and set up their own law enforcement envoys to supervise local officials.
With this kind of management, Northern Xinjiang can be called a country within a country, but the imperial court still pays military salaries!
Zhou Yi stood outside the palace gate and wrote down everything the officials said. Those who were dissatisfied with the court were allies. Those who supported the queen mother must be eradicated, and those who were wavering could be won over.
Return to the house next time.
Xiao Anzi and Xiao Wuzi have returned and are reviewing the words they learned during the day.
Zhou Yi glanced at Xiao Wuzi. He had already learned how to read early in the morning and pretended to study hard. Such a character would lead to great things in the future.
Seeing Zhou Yi's smiling face, Xiao Anzi couldn't help but ask, "Brother Shan, has something happy happened?"
"Barely so."
Zhou Yi pretended to be about to speak but hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay to tell Brother An. When we were on duty this morning, we heard Minister Qi from the Ministry of Rites scolding King Pingxi's mother!"
Xiao Anzi looked puzzled: "Why are you happy?"
"King Pingxi is a popular figure in front of the Queen Mother. He is the newly promoted Minister of the Ministry of War and has great power. No one in the palace wants to curry favor with him."
Zhou Yi said: "Let's find an opportunity to inform Admiral Zhong of this matter. We will definitely get a reward and we won't have to guard the gate in the future!"
If you want to achieve great things, sell your allies first.
The imperial court will remember Qi Shilang's achievements, and in the future, he will be cleared of his origins and will definitely pursue a title for him!
"I see."
Xiao Anzi's eyes flashed, and he congratulated continuously: "Congratulations, Mr. Shan, our family has long thought that you have a bright future, and you will definitely be able to supervise a prison in the future!"
Zhou Yi patted Xiao Anzi on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"When our family becomes prosperous, we will take good care of Brother An. We will confiscate the Wannian County dog official's home and send him into exile, and we will seize all the land from Mr. Wang's family!"
"Thank you, Mr. Mountain."
Xiao Anzi bent down and stuck out his tendons, learning the tricks taught by Professor Zhou Yi to the fullest.
"Jiejiejie..."
Zhou Yi smiled proudly and lay on the bed undressed to sleep.
The next day.
After getting up in the morning, Zhou Yi saw that Xiao Anzi's bed was empty and was about to ask Xiao Wuzi.
Bang!
The door of the house opened, and Xiao Anzi's face was glowing with excitement.
Zhou Yi asked: "Where did Brother An go so early in the morning? There are many taboos in the palace, so don't wander around!"
"Xiao Shanzi is interested, our family
I will never forget your teachings. "
Xiao Anzi straightened his chest and said in a somewhat condescending manner: "We went to the Palace Supervisor to pay our respects to Admiral Zhong, and by the way we talked about Minister Qi."
Zhou Yi couldn't believe it: "You, how could you..."
Xiao Anzi continued: "Eunuch Zhong is very happy to transfer our family to the Department of Ceremonies to serve His Majesty's paper and pen."
When Zhou Yi heard this, he collapsed on the bed like a deflated rubber ball.
Xiao Anzi patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder: "Xiao Shanzi, our friendship is the same no matter who we are, so don't care too much about it."
Zhou Yi tried his best to smile, bent down and bowed to salute.
"That's what Eunuch An taught you!"
