Imperial Palace, Supervisor of Ceremonies, Middle Hall.
The old man Cao Zhengchun was sitting in the main seat. There was a pile of silver on the square table in front of him, one ingot, one tael, three taels and three taels, arranged in hundreds of rows.
A chamberlain walked up to him. Cao Zhengchun held out his orchid finger in one hand and held a tickle in his other hand and put a row of silver into the chambermaid's hands.
"Thank you, steward!"
Cao Zhengchun smiled and nodded, and the waiter walked behind him, wisely took out a piece of silver and put it into the basin next to the steward.
"Ding bell~"
Hearing the sound of silver falling into the basin, the smile on Cao Zhengchun's face grew even brighter, like a chrysanthemum.
"This is the autumn salary and the silver reward from the Holy Father's wedding. Keep them all!
Don’t look at it now, but it will be your life in the future. Sooner or later, we will all leave the palace, and then you will find that you have no one to see you, and everyone will avoid you like a mangy dog. "
Having said this, the manager paused and then casually allocated money to a few more people.
"Ding Dong~" The little eunuchs are also very clever.
"At that time, you couldn't carry it on your shoulders or lift it with your hands. Who did you rely on? Ah? Who was the closest to you? It was the money in your arms!
Mark my words, don’t look at this thing, it’s hard and cold, this is our own mother-in-law!”
After saying this, Manager Cao smiled proudly, and the other young eunuchs also quickly laughed in agreement.
At this time, a young eunuch took the money and left directly.
Cao Zhengchun frowned: "Hey, you're not new here, are you? Why have you forgotten the rules?"
The little eunuch suddenly realized, smiled and said to please: "Oh, Mr. Manager, I forgot. You see, I forgot to honor you!"
Cao Zhengchun's expression turned cold: "Hmph, I don't like hearing what you say. What if something happened to you that day? Who will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help you?
Can I go with my tongue bare? Even if I bite my tongue to bits, grind my teeth flat, and stick my anus out to the sky, you still can’t clean it!"
As he said that, the manager stared at the boy for a while, and when he saw him nodding seriously in agreement, he broke into a cold sweat. Then he continued to point at him with his ticklish finger and said, "Don't feel that you are at a disadvantage because you are throwing such a lumpy thing away today."
, I’m sure one day I’ll be able to get my life back!”
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"Who are you honoring? This is honoring your invisible ancestors! Burn incense!" the steward said seriously, then turned around and continued to hand out money.
"Ding Dong~"
Now her face looks better.
Half a day later, after all the money was distributed, Cao Zhengchun stood up and left with Shi Shiran carrying a heavy bag.
When they arrived at the door, there were two people following the guards. They had small pointed hats, brown clothes, and a pair of white leather boots. They walked quietly.
The governor weighed the silver in his hand for a while. There were about two hundred taels of silver, which was a year's salary for a fifth-grade official, and he threw it to his subordinates behind him.
"Thank you Mr. Factory!"
"Yes!" Cao Zhengchun responded casually and left with his hands behind his back.
As the governor of the East Anti-Smuggling Factory and the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch in charge of etiquette, in this palace, except for those in the royal family, he is the god, so naturally he will not care about such a small amount of money.
However, when salaries are distributed every autumn and winter, he still likes to come and distribute them in person.
One is that he likes to listen to the beautiful sound of the silver falling into the basin, and the other is to warn himself that he has climbed up step by step from a low-level eunuch with no power.
His current status is all due to his prudence, care, politeness and unremitting efforts, and of course, more importantly, his loyalty to the royal family.
After a while, when he reached the quiet room, Cao Zhengchun raised his hand and said calmly: "Step back."
"yes!"
After his men left, the manager went into the quiet room, found a box, opened it, and prepared to take medicine and practice Qigong.
In addition to being loyal and cautious, the most important thing for him to have his current status is of course his unparalleled martial arts.
Since he entered the palace at the age of ten and was adopted as his adopted son by his adoptive father Cao Ah, who taught him the Tiangang Tongzi Kung Fu, he has been practicing diligently and diligently without rest. At his current age, he has mastered the magical kung fu and is invulnerable, so he can lead Dongchang to dominate the world.
, leader’s court.
Martial arts comes from practice!
With fifty years of Tiangang Boy Kung Fu, he believes that even among the heroes in the world, there are only a handful of people who can surpass him.
With such skill, he has not slacked off. Although he is busy dealing with various official matters on weekdays, he still squeezes out some time every day to transfer his internal energy and strive to become stronger.
Because he has a great enemy in life: the Iron-Courage God Hou Zhuwuwu, recognized as the best master in the world.
He longed, longed to have a fair and upright battle with that man one day!
"Hey, where is my medicine from his grandma?" Cao Zhengchun was dumbfounded when he opened the medicine box.
The medicine he spent a lot of money to get from the hospital was gone.
Has the medicine of the dignified Mr. Dongchang been stolen? This is really a knife in the ass, and it opened his eyes today!
"Meow~" The factory manager who was about to get angry suddenly heard a small meow.
After walking around in the quiet room, Cao Zhengchun found a young golden kitten on the desk, waving its fluffy tail, drinking tea leisurely, with the familiar medicinal smell on his lips.
Come forward and take a closer look.
This cat is very cute, but as far as he knows, there is no noble person in the palace who he can't afford to offend who has such a cute kitten. It is an ownerless wild cat.
He is a eunuch, but like a toad squatting in the mud of a pond, why doesn't he long for the blue sky and the elegant snow-white swans? He just needs to live.
"Cat, come here, let me pet you!" Eunuch Cao smiled with a smile on his face and stretched out his sinful hand.
The little yellow cat grinned, showing its sharp fangs, and raised its paws in demonstration.
"Hey, you still want to resist? Today I will show you, a little cat like a frog in a well, what it means to be the best in the world!" Eunuch Cao said with a smile.
As he spoke, his inner energy was circulating, and his hand was attached with the invulnerable Tiangang vitality, and he continued to stretch forward.
"Meow wow~"
"Bah bang bang!"
"ah!"
…
Early the next morning.
The middle hall of the East Factory.
More than a thousand households in Jinyiwei and the fans of Dongchang were all summoned together, and everyone was puzzled.
Dongchang's job is to act as the emperor's eyes and ears, spy on officials and collect public opinion information.
According to common sense, at the beginning of the month, Dongchang's fans gather together to draw lots. Each lot has an official's name on it. Which lot is drawn represents who the fan will monitor that month.
The method of drawing lots not only prevents cheating, but also prevents spooks from monitoring a person for a long time. After getting used to it, they will not be able to detect abnormalities or be bribed by the other party.
Moreover, the detectives had to write a "daily report" every day, writing down their day's spying situation and handing it to their respective stalls, who then submitted it to the government office, and finally compiled it to the factory boss.
After reading it, the factory owner selected valuable reports to the emperor. This is what is called: daily reports, monthly reports, every day's affairs, and the affairs of the officials in the capital.
But what is going on today? Did something big happen to bring these Dongchang ‘elites’ together?
After a while, Cao Zhengchun came in slowly, and there was a strange little yellow cat squatting on his shoulder.
Dongchang's big stall scalper Xiaotian was extremely surprised. Since the factory official took charge of Dongchang, he has been careful in handling things. What he hates most is that they lose their spirits by playing with things. Unexpectedly, they would raise a cat today?
Moreover, given the unparalleled power of the Governor, his face was bruised and bruised. Was he being punished by the Holy One?
But as a subordinate, don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, and don’t say what you shouldn’t say.
Cao Zhengchun glanced at these subordinates and pointed to the boss on his shoulder: "Look up, have you seen the cat on my body? From today on, he is my little ancestor and your ancestor.
From now on, you will respect him more than me, do you understand?"
"yes!"
No one had any objection at all, and they were not surprised at all.
In the palace, the governor's hobby was quite good.
There are also legends among the people that the current emperor entered other people's homes at will and robbed women of the people, and even played some lewd things in the newly built leopard room with the young eunuch who had just entered the palace.
It's just a cat worship. As long as you can save your butt and gain fame and wealth, it's not a big problem.
When everyone dispersed, there was a master from Dongchang who was feeling panic all over his body.
"Centipede? What are you doing? Are you itching?" Scorpion, one of the 'Five Poisons', asked curiously.
Dongchang has a huge organization, but in fact there are not that many real eunuchs. Most of them are strange people recruited from the private sector, and each of them has good methods.
As for Wudu, he can be regarded as a well-known expert in Dongchang.
Centipede was a little confused: "Where is my son? My son is gone?"
Scorpion was stunned, touched his body, and was even more shocked: "It's broken, and my son is gone too."
Everyone:.
The middle hall outside the quiet room was already filled with all kinds of delicacies, and was served by two cute and cute palace ladies.
Cao Zhengchun carefully greeted the little yellow cat on the table who was being served by the maid: "Little ancestor, do you think this is okay?"
Miao Le was very satisfied.
Look, this is the model of a shit shoveler. Our Miao Miao Cult needs talents like you!
"Meow!"
As he said that, the little yellow cat stretched out his paw, and on it was a colorful centipede, with hundreds of short, bright red claws scratching around.
【Well, that’s good, I’ll treat you to some spicy strips! 】
The two maids immediately turned pale with fright.
Cao Zhengchun:
After a moment of silence, the governor quickly apologized and said, "Little ancestor, please eat, I didn't practice the exercises yesterday, I have to make up for it today.
This kung fu, if you don't practice it for one day, your hands and feet will be slow, if you don't practice it for two days, you will lose half of it, if you don't practice it for three days, you will be a layman, and if you don't practice it for four days, you will stare blankly."
The little yellow cat took it for granted. How could he continue to enjoy it if the shit shoveler didn't work hard?
"Meow~"
【Go.】
"Then take your leave!" Cao Zhengchun left with a smile on his face.
Eunuch Cao's greatest advantage in being able to rise from the palace to his current status is: his knowledge of faces!
Bowing his head, bending down, and dignity, these are all dispensable things for him. Survival to the end is the biggest winner.
The two maids who were serving were very curious. What was the origin of this cat? Did he become their master just because he was good-looking?
Why is this world so absurd?
"Meow~"
[Why are you so expressionless? Give me a squeeze! 】
…
In the quiet room, Cao Zhengchun took the elixir and began to regulate his breath with luck.
Although Tiangang Boy Kung Fu and even Gang Zhi Yang Kung Fu are not the most outstanding skills in the world, he is a boy who has never lost his luster. He has been practicing diligently for fifty years, and his current skills are far beyond the ordinary.
So far, I have only failed one move yesterday!
However, according to his estimation of his little ancestor, with that kind of unrivaled power, only the founder of Shaolin Bodhidharma or Wudang Zhang Sanfeng is resurrected in this world, who is probably qualified to compete.
Calculated in this way, he is not bad, after all, no one can survive one move.
[Refining elixirs and taking medicines connects the inside and outside. Today's way to practice qi is nothing more than guided by thinking. It is too vague and too empty. Heaven and earth separate the pure and turbid to create people. People's qi training is nothing more than practicing the emptiness to cleanse the turbidity. The qi is destined.
Mainly, the form is used by the body.】
Almost instantly, Eunuch Cao relaxed his mind, united nature and man, and entered the state of forgetfulness of things and self. The energy from the universe was quickly attracted into his body.
"Boom~ Zhi Gang Zhi Yang's internal Qi rapidly increased, and then quickly circulated throughout the body.
In a short while, his skin turned red and even some sweat appeared. It was obvious that his body could not bear the sudden increase of internal energy, and at this moment, there were even signs of going crazy.
Then, with blessing reaching his soul, Cao Zhengchun suddenly had a body-building chapter appear in his mind, and his body could not help but move into various strange postures. The huge energy was immediately released and slowly integrated into the physical body.
for a long time.
When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly felt full of energy and full of energy. It must have been like sleeping, and he could carefully feel the enhanced inner Qi and physical body in his body.
"Buzz~"
With a random claw, the air vibrates.
"I have become stronger!" Eunuch Cao was overjoyed.
Making further progress is of course a great joy for a person like him who pursues strength.
Then he became entangled, why? Why did he suddenly make such great progress? If he found the reason, wouldn't he always become stronger?
After pondering for a moment, Eunuch Cao suddenly realized what he was thinking about his mysterious little ancestor.
This is not our ancestor, this is our father, our biological father!
Even to him, even his own father was not so kind to his son.
If he doesn't provide for him properly from now on and goes to other people's homes, he will probably wake himself up in his dreams.
By the way, there is also a prescription called 'Yuanzhu Dan' that assists in spiritual practice, which is a magic medicine for life-saving, spiritual practice, and detoxification.
And suddenly he had another thought in his mind.
The emperor still had no children, so not only the officials, but also the queen mother and the emperor themselves were extremely anxious and asked for medicine everywhere.
What is the purpose of the Leopard Room? Is it not for the emperor to collect many women to see if any of them are pregnant and can give birth to a dragon son for the Tian family?
If this Yuan-Building Pill is effective, will he be rich again? He will be the one to bring the prince by then. Even if he loses his power in the future, for the sake of the prince, it should not be difficult to live in a wealthy family.
rush!
…
In Dongchang, as soon as Cao Zhengchun came out of seclusion, he immediately ordered his men to collect various medicinal materials. A century-old start!
The age is too low, which does not suit his status as the dignified governor of the East Factory, let alone the royal status.
Money? To him, it is the easiest thing to earn in the world.
"Lord Governor, my subordinates have something important to report!" A person came in from the door, it was his right-hand man, Dongchang's scalper Xiaotian, and he was the leader of his black-clad archery team specially used to "eradicate evil".
.
Cao Zhengchun stretched out his orchid fingers, picked up the tea cup, and said calmly: "Tell me."
"A secret agent came to report that Yang Yuxuan, the Minister of War, has submitted a secret report, accusing the governor of ten major crimes and asking the Holy Lord to put you to death in Ling Chi!" Pi Xiaotian said respectfully.
"Insolent! It's his grandma's fault. I didn't provoke him, but he provoked me!" Cao Zhengchun was furious. What big mistake did he, a eunuch, make to be so slandered?
"Go, arrest him, and find evidence that he is colluding with the rebellious party. I want him dead!"
Pi Xiaotian nodded: "Yes, Governor, I'll go right away!"
As for whether he can find evidence, he is not worried.
When Dongchang arrests people, no evidence is needed.
As long as someone is caught, there will be evidence.
Kill first and report later, with the royal power's permission, this is Dongchang!
