Chapter 186 Ying Zheng’s Gift, Zhang Yi’s Old Residence

Zhang Ji left Zhangtai Palace and originally planned to go home with Jing Salamander, but found that Jing Salamander had already taken the lead and was not waiting for him.

Gai Nie, Meng Tian, ​​Li Si, Xuan Jian, Liu Jiannu and others waiting outside the door did not ask what Zhang Ji and Ying Zheng had talked about.

Gai Nie is not a talkative person. Although he is a good friend of Ying Zheng, he understands what kind of limits and limits should be grasped as Ying Zheng's minister, bodyguard and friend. And he also knows that Ying Zheng will definitely find someone.

He discussed.

Meng Tian knows his position very well. He is a military commander. He does not understand many conspiracies and conspiracies and does not need to understand them.

And Li Si...he is a smart man, and smart people know not to be too curious about some things, especially things involving the Queen Mother.

Although everyone was outside the hall just now, the roaring and smashing sounds inside the hall could still barely reach everyone's ears.

Assessing the situation has always been Li Si's strength, and he would not be tempted to get into trouble at this time.

What's more, Li Si understands his position.

Unlike Zhang Ji, he is a confidant and like-minded friend who has walked into Ying Zheng's heart, while Li Si is a pure courtier, not even a confidant. If Ying Zheng had no one to use, maybe it would not be his turn to listen together now.

Things about Lao Ai.

But he was not in a hurry.

The icing on the cake is not as good as the timely help. He joined Yingzheng early enough, and he is proud of his talents. There will be no shortage of opportunities to gain Yingzheng's trust and promotion in the future. There is no need for him to rush for a while.

Xuanjian and Six Sword Slaves remained silent. They were sharp swords in Ying Zheng's hands and they did not need to think too much.

After Zhang Ji came out of Zhangtai Palace, he left Xianyang Palace under the guidance of the white-haired eunuch Ling, but this eunuch Ling still followed Zhang Ji after leaving Xianyang Palace.

"Mr. Zhang Ji, thanks to Mr. Wang Shangnian's contribution, I have been given a special mansion and twelve maids."

From the slightly sharp drake voice, one could tell that this eunuch was an eunuch, not one of those eunuchs with intact bodies, but Zhang Ji did not show any unusual eyes.

"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Zhang Ji bowed to Xianyang Palace, and then bowed slightly to the white-haired eunuch, "I'd like to trouble you, eunuch, to lead the way."

"This is all the king's order, I dare not take credit."

The eunuch ordered him to wave his hand quickly and return the same gesture.

As the eunuch of the Qin Palace, he controlled all the eunuchs and chamberlains in the palace. He served successively for three generations including King Zhaoxiang, King Xiaowen, and King Zhuangxiang, and also served the current King of Qin Yingzheng. From a certain point of view,

He is considered a veteran of four dynasties. And the eunuch Ling who has served in Xianyang Palace for so many years is certainly not a fool.

There are also many ministers he has secretly punished over the years.

However, the palace has its own set of survival rules. He knows who can be messed with and who cannot be messed with, so he can survive to this day.

Anyone who is not blind can see Ying Zheng's attitude towards Zhang Ji. Faced with matters involving the Queen Mother, Zhang Ji was left alone to discuss matters, and all other confidants were excluded. How much trust is this?

The mansion given to Zhang Ji by Ying Zheng also showed his favor towards Zhang Ji.

However, Zhang Ji is quite interesting.

Historically, the princes and ministers of the Qin State felt disgusted when they heard the voices of disabled eunuchs like them. Although they might smile at themselves, they still didn't know how to scold themselves secretly.

The eunuchs who had read countless people were closely influenced by the kings of Qin in the past dynasties, and naturally they also learned the art of observing words and colors.

He could see through who was showing respect in disguise and who was hiding disdain in his eyes.

But Zhang Ji didn't seem to have any dislike for him because of his mutilated body. Instead, he seemed to really respect him, which couldn't help but make the eunuch feel a little surprised and appreciative.

After all, although eunuchs like them, who are physically disabled and have no offspring, are greedy, is it possible that they can take away the wealth after death?

At most, some were distributed to the tribesmen, and the rest belonged to the King of Qin. This was also the reason why the King of Qin in the past tacitly allowed the eunuchs around him to accept appropriate bribes.

Besides money and silk, what these physically disabled eunuchs care most about is dignity.

They have low self-esteem because of their physical disabilities. The more they lack something, the more they care about it. Therefore, these eunuchs who are physically disabled care more about their dignity.

It's a pity that in this era, there are too few people who can treat these disabled eunuchs equally.

Of course, Zhang Ji is an exception, and that's just because he comes from later generations.

In the eyes of later generations, a eunuch with a mutilated body was just a poor person.

In addition to sympathy, Zhang Ji was also somewhat afraid of these eunuchs.

Throughout ancient times and modern times, these eunuchs serving in the palace are the ones who should not be offended. They have no descendants, so the king may trust them more at certain times and cannot easily provoke them. No matter how high his status is, he does not know what the palace is doing.

Will your eunuch stab you by chance?

A certain pig-butcher general who ignored the eunuch's request for peace because he had a large army and went into the palace at night to clear the dungeon alone would use his own life in the future to prove that eunuchs should not be underestimated.

Zhang Ji chatted with eunuch Ling along the way. After dismounting, he took the initiative to help eunuch Ling, who was a little unsteady, and at the same time quietly put a piece of gold cake into eunuch Ling's hand. And this eunuch

Zhe Ling was also a good person, he put the gold cake into his sleeve as if nothing had happened.

"My property is still in Xinzheng and has not been transferred to Xianyang. I am a little nervous. Please don't dislike it, eunuch ordered."

Eunuch Ling was respected and received money, so he naturally smiled and led Zhang Ji into the mansion given to him by Ying Zheng.

From the outside, it seems like nothing, as if this is just an ordinary mansion of a powerful family, but after entering the mansion, Zhang Ji was really surprised by the scale of this mansion.

The scale of this mansion is actually larger than Ji Wuye's mansion, and the architecture is luxurious. There are many rocks from the top of the country, and there is also an artificial lake dug by hand that is connected to the Wei River.

There are many small fish in gold, white and black colors, swinging their tail fins and swimming freely in the lake. Under the sunlight, the three colors of gold, white and black actually form a unique landscape in the lake.

"This is a salmon, produced in Suishui, and also a gift from the king."

Zhang Ji continued to walk around under the guidance of the eunuch. The pavilion, railings, flowers and plants in the mansion were all available. Especially the pictures carved on the wooden utensils in the mansion, including the railings, were lifelike, giving people a feeling of being in a fairyland.

a feeling of.

Although Ying Zheng had given him such a mansion, Zhang Ji became a little curious.

The mansion given by Ying Zheng was most likely confiscated by a certain King of Qin from a certain minister who committed crimes, and then with a little cleaning and decoration, it could be given as a reward to the ministers who had made meritorious services. However, Zhang Ji was a little curious about this mansion.

Whose one is it that can be so unique and qualified to be built near the palace?

This mansion is low-key and humble on the outside, but noble and solemn on the inside. The decoration is luxurious yet classical and elegant, as if it was built by a high-ranking celebrity.

Moreover, although the houses in the mansion are widely built, each house is arranged in an orderly manner. The slightly luxurious house in the middle is surrounded by the more plain houses on the outside, which is like a resting place for the guards.

The house is surrounded by houses to form protection. In addition, the uneven height of the courtyard wall around the mansion is also equipped with hidden controls and stepping stones. It can obviously be used as a small city wall to guard. The entire mansion is orderly and at the same time secretly in line with the military style.

road.

"Sir, you should be more familiar with the former owner of this mansion than I am."

Zhang Ji suddenly had a guess in his mind.

"This is the residence of Zhang Zi, the former Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Lord Wu Xin!"
