Chapter 211 What kind of bad thoughts can the little father-in-law have?
Sometimes you don't even know how worthless you are unless you show off, just like Xu Fu at this moment. Emperor Qin just ignored him, but it turned out that no one in the group took him seriously.
Although everyone remained polite on the surface, with so many people coming and going, he actually felt a little lonely!
"Uh, Mr. Bao..."
"Lord Jianzheng, there are some things you should not say, as it will delay our friendship for nothing."
Bao Zheng smiled, he had the best attitude among the people, and the word "reject" was barely written on his bright forehead.
The corner of Xu Fu's mouth twitched, but in the end he said nothing. He could only watch helplessly as the government officials carried Wei Jinzhong's body away.
At the same time, Zuo Zhou was walking in the palace, suppressing his curious eyes, and asked calmly: "Don't you seem to like seeing Qin Tianjian?"
Di Renjie kept his eyes straight and followed the guard in front of him while explaining casually, "The Qin Emperor has not done anything like asking gods and divination for more than ten years. His Majesty even expressed his disapproval of Qin Tianjian a long time ago.
disdain. In this case, naturally no one will care about Qin Tianjian, and even avoid the people of Qin Tianjian. Well, this is actually nothing, at most it is just a little trick of being an official.
"
Zuo Zhou blinked, "You haven't consulted the gods or divination in more than ten years? I remember that the people in Qin Tian Jian were also responsible for customizing some, uh, calendars and the like, right?"
Di Renjie smiled and said: "It was true a long time ago that people in Qintian Prison would make calendars based on divination, which days were suitable for marriages, which days were not suitable for breaking ground, etc. Anyway, they were the ones who said everything. We didn't.
People who have studied it specifically cannot question or refute it. Even those who have studied it don’t dare to question it. After all, it is said that the people in Qintian Prison are all masters of this way.”
Zuo Zhou heard this and was very sensitive to some of the problems, "Authority?"
There was a time when the Internet was filled with various experts, and their words were often highly inflammatory. Even if some rational people noticed the problem, they could not refute it. After all, the 'experts' were blessed with fame.
And what do netizens have? Only keyboards.
"Authority? This word is very appropriate!" Di Renjie smiled, and then said: "This situation has changed since the arrival of the exiles. We know that the will of the two worlds is merging, and at this point in time,
Heaven will not care about anything in the world. In other words, all fortune tellers who claim to be able to predict destiny have become liars. Well, maybe they can predict what the future will be like, but what about now? So, Your Majesty
I have never spoken to Qin Tian Jian again. If Qin Tian Jian had not been established by the late emperor, I am afraid this department would have been abolished long ago."
Zuo Zhou nodded suddenly, "This is reasonable, but which department makes the calendar now?"
"It has been handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Hanlin Academy, and the focus has also changed. Now it is mainly left to professionals to summarize experience, assist people in planting and pay attention to weather changes, etc." Lu Xiaofeng continued, but his eyes were looking into the distance.
I took a few glances at the city wall.
Zuo Zhou didn't pay attention. In fact, he had seen it a long time ago. There were several figures in those corners. Judging by their attire, they should be secret guards in the palace, and some were eunuch masters. "I think it's right to change the calendar like this. After all,
The food issue is a major issue of people's livelihood. Being able to eat enough is more important than anything else. The rest is just to adjust your life."
"Yes, living is more important than anything else, and living well is the second most important thing!" Zhuge Zhengyi didn't know what he was thinking of, and he sighed as if it was telling a story.
Zuo Zhou didn't ask any more questions and passed through many squares along the way. The imperial palace of Da Qin was much more exaggerated than the ones in the previous life. First of all, the area was very large. It was probably comparable to the area within the second ring road of Beijing. Then there were some that looked very big.
It's a very tall building but I don't know what its purpose is.
Of course, there are many masters. Just walking along this way, you can feel the aura of hundreds of innate masters. But now Zuo Zhou doesn't care about these, "If we walk like this... I'm afraid it will take half an hour to see His Majesty."
Bar!"
Di Renjie was very leisurely and said with a smile: "Just get used to it, riding horses is not allowed in the inner city of the imperial capital."
"Then if there is really an emergency, wouldn't this be a waste of time?"
Zhuge Zhengwo then said: "No, there are experts patrolling every section of the palace. Once it is discovered that a certain gentleman has urgent military affairs, they will report it to everyone, and then a special bearer will carry you to see His Majesty. Normally.
The same was true in the previous court. Ministers were transported by special bearers. And if His Majesty wanted to receive someone, he would also send bearers to accompany the imperial envoys."
Zuo Zhou understood, and then smiled bitterly, "I dare not arrange a bearer this time because His Majesty didn't think we could defeat Wei Jinzhong!"
"This general misunderstood. Your Majesty already knew that the traitor was no match for your lords. However, the traitor's forced entry into the palace attracted many secret guards and caused crowding in the palace gate, so the bearer did not arrive. In order to
We do not want to cause a stampede, so I let you gentlemen walk a little further first, with the bearers in front."
The corners of Zuo Zhou's eyes twitched, and he looked around. It was such an open place. I'm afraid there wouldn't be a stampede even if tens of thousands of people danced in the square!
However, Zuo Zhou noticed the young eunuch who was talking. He seemed to be about the same age as himself, with delicate skin, a soft voice, and lively eyes. He seemed a bit all-round, "What do you call this young father-in-law?"
"Cao Zhengchun, the clothes supervisor of the Sa family, has met all of you!"
Zuo Zhou was stunned for a moment, Cao Zhengchun? This name is quite familiar. Haha, I didn’t expect that Eunuch Cao also had the years when his lips were red and his teeth were white. “Oh, he is the father-in-law who specializes in buying clothes for the palace. No wonder I think that my father-in-law is well-dressed.”
Cao Zhengchun was flattered. He had never met an official who praised an eunuch before. He bowed slightly and said, "General, you are too complimentary."
Di Renjie and others looked at Zuo Zhou with strange expressions. This guy is too weird. He is hostile to Xu Fuyin from Qintian Prison, disdainful of Wei Jinzhong, the powerful eunuch, but he is pleasant to a young eunuch from Shangyi Prison?
Zuo Zhou ignored the doubts of Di Renjie and others and happily followed the young eunuch into the family affairs. Of course, generally speaking, foreign ministers were not allowed to have such blatant friendships with eunuchs in the palace. But this rule was simply a restriction.
Among those powerful officials and officials, Zuo Zhou was not a powerful official, and Cao Zhengchun was not a powerful official, so naturally he was not among them.
It is estimated that Cao Zhengchun has never been so respected before. It didn't take long for Zuo Zhou to trick him out of a lot of information. To put it bluntly, Cao Zhengchun was also a poor man. He was originally a citizen of Yan State, which was not a wealthy country.
When I was a child, my family was too poor to survive. If a girl could be sold to a wealthy family as a maid, she could survive even if she was sold into a brothel.
But there are too few options for boys. After all, what rich families lack is nursing homes, but nursing homes require martial arts training. How can you expect a good physique from a man who can’t even support himself? So Cao Zhengchun’s
His father was about to send him to the Imperial Palace of the State of Yan to be a eunuch, but because he was too poor and couldn't afford a professional to cut him, his father had no choice but to do it himself. Unexpectedly, he fell into a coma for three days and three nights after the cut.
.
When he woke up again, his father told him that the State of Yan had been bulldozed by Qin!
However, this unlucky child did not suffer a blow in vain. Da Qin became more and more powerful, and the palace was also expanding. Naturally, some eunuchs had to be recruited, so he entered the palace with his 'talent'.
"Oh, there is a sedan bearer in front of you. Sirs, please get on the sedan."
The exchange between Zuo Zhou and Cao Zhengchun had no choice but to stop. The two of them really felt like old friends at first sight. As a supervisor of the Shangyi Supervisor, Cao Zhengchun would not have done the reception work if it had not been for this temporary transfer. He would have said goodbye naturally at this point.
Everyone.
Zuo Zhou waved his hand as if to say goodbye, and then got into the sedan chair.
"I didn't expect that General Li is quite good at socializing. He must have asked him to dig out his own wealth for the first time we met!" Zhuge Zhengwo sighed a little.
Zuo Zhou felt that the sedan flew up after he had fooled it, and then four people dressed as eunuchs began to perform Qing Kung Fu. It was really fast and steady. But looking at the rapidly retreating scenery in front of him, he smiled after feeling refreshed: "I just like to make friends.
He's just a friend who seems to like him, and besides, do you think it's a drain on your family's wealth? No, at least I know that he didn't reveal any of his difficulties, which is quite measured."
"What do you mean?" Lu Xiaofeng was a little curious. He really didn't have any eunuch friends. After all, as a prominent figure in the world, he really didn't bother to be friends with eunuchs.
Zuo Zhou looked at these people who often stayed in the imperial capital and said with a smile: "Sometimes, people from different circles are like a world apart. If you don't tell them, you don't know. In fact, the eunuch circle and the army have something in common.
, that is very xenophobic. Just like those countries conquered by the Qin Dynasty, when their soldiers were mixed into the Qin army, they were often looked down upon. Similarly, the same is true for the eunuch circle. As the people of the subjugated country, the eunuchs of the Yan State were born with
He is looked down upon by the local eunuchs. So he was temporarily assigned to pick us up. This Cao Zhengchun is probably very good in terms of human relations and sophistication."
Lu Xiaofeng was a little dumbfounded, "How do you know so much?"
Zuo Zhou said confidently, "I, Li Yuanfang, come from the army, and I have beaten more than one eunuch. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be defeated. If you don't understand the relevant knowledge points in advance, how can you survive?"
Di Renjie nodded thoughtfully, "This young father-in-law seems to have told everything about his life experience, and he seems to be very shameless. But apart from arousing people's sympathy, what he said actually has no impact on him.
, and even seemed to be sincere.”
Zuo Zhou rolled his eyes and said, "Old Di, you are so nervous when handling cases. You look like you have ulterior motives to everyone. How can a little father-in-law have any evil intentions?"
Di Renjie glared, "Who are you talking to? No matter how big or small, when I see His Majesty later, please be more respectful to me!"
