The eunuchs in "Eunuch Alley" failed to become eunuchs and were despised by the world. Most of them gave up on themselves and fell into depravity. In order to survive and wait for the next selection, they used all legal and illegal means.
, there are those who are begging for food, there are those who are sages, and there are those who are deceived and kidnapped. There is no need to mention the chaos and mess.
Therefore, "Eunuch Alley" is definitely a smoky and lawless place!
Under such an environment, most of the eunuchs in "Eunuch Alley" are despicable, ruthless and unjust.
As the saying goes, "Appearance comes from the heart." Due to their despicable temperament, most of the eunuchs also look disgusting. In addition, their daily living standards are extremely poor, so all of them have skinny bodies and roe-like heads and rat eyes.
In this way, when the imperial court was recruiting eunuchs from the private sector, Yan Ruan's appearance was particularly eye-catching!
Yan Ruan's appearance is not handsome, but he has good facial features and a well-proportioned figure. [No][Wrong] In addition, he is a scholar after all, so he has an elegant temperament and dignified behavior, which is easy to make people like him, except for his sinister eyes.
Apart from that, he has absolutely no resemblance to the eunuchs around him.
Yan Ru'an quietly mingled among the eunuchs, attracting the attention of the surrounding eunuchs. Many of them were jealous, thinking that with Yan Ru'an's appearance, he would definitely be able to enter the inner court and become a eunuch.
But the strange thing is that although there are many eunuchs who are jealous of Yan Ru'an, none of them find trouble with Yan Ru'an!
It turned out that after Yan Ru'an recovered from his injuries, he left the Zhao Mansion and went to live in "Eunuch Alley". Now he has stayed in "Eunuch Alley" for many days.
During this period of time, all the eunuchs who caused trouble for Yan Ru'an disappeared silently. And all the eunuchs who were friends with Yan Ru'an would receive relief from Yan Ru'an from time to time.
After receiving relief from Yan Ruan, some eunuchs would spontaneously support Yan Ruan either out of gratitude or to please him.
Gradually, Yan Ruan's influence and power in "Eunuch Alley" are growing. Now, Yan Ruan can be regarded as the leader of a major force in "Eunuch Alley"
Therefore, those eunuchs who were hostile to Yan Ruan gradually did not dare to trouble Yan Ruan anymore. Although they were jealous of Yan Ruan, they also respected Yan Ruan even more.

At this time, Yan Ruan was surrounded by some eunuchs, but he was silent and just thinking about something quietly.
In fact, when he was about to enter the inner court and become a eunuch, Yan Ruan began to look back on his life path uncontrollably!
He was originally a civil servant. Although he went to Beijing to take the exam and failed to get a place in the exam, his life is still full of hope.
After all, even if you fail this time, there is still another chance!
However, at this time, because he accidentally offended several eunuchs, Yan Ruan was attacked by these eunuchs. During the attack, Yan Ruan's penis was severely damaged, and he was never considered a complete person from now on. His life also changed.
Completely lost hope!
Fortunately, Zhao Junchen rescued him at this time and pointed out a new path for him - the Twelve Prisoners of the Inner Court!
According to Zhao Junchen's description, Zheng He, Wei Zhongxian, Liu Jin, Wang Zhen... these people are all eunuchs, but which one is not a man of great power and power? And which one is not a name that will last forever and be known to the world? It has reached this point.
, why care about whether the body is intact?
After his body was left incomplete, Yan Ruan urgently needed something to complete his life, and Zhao Junchen's description was indeed fascinating, so Yan Ruan accepted Zhao Junchen's suggestion.
As Zhao Junchen said, if he is as powerful as Zheng He, Wei Zhongxian, and Liu Jin and can control the destiny of others at will, then even if he is an eunuch, who dares to look down upon him?
In this way, Yan Ruan's life direction was finally determined.
In fact, at this time, Yan Ruan not only had no objection to the idea of joining the inner court and becoming a eunuch, but was actually impatient!
*
And just when Yan Ruan was looking back on his life, amidst the commotion, the inner court finally began to recruit people.
Yan Ruan also came back to his senses, and with some sinisterness, he suddenly laughed in a low voice: "If you can't eat with nine cauldrons, you should cook with nine cauldrons..."
While muttering, Yan Ruan was already taking steps forward!
Keep moving forward without hesitation!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the inner court recruits new people, there are two steps.
The first is a physical examination to check whether the applicant has infectious diseases, physical disabilities, and...whether he or she has committed suicide.
Then there is the interview, where the applicant is asked about the applicant's basic information, the applicant's place of origin documents are reviewed, and the applicant's appearance is checked to see if he or she is qualified.
Finally, if most of the eunuchs who serve as interviewers agree, the applicant will be considered qualified.
The process seems simple, but the standards are very strict, and a large number of "self-inflicted women" are eliminated every year.
*
Yan Ruan passed the physical test smoothly.
Then, after queuing for a long time, Yan Ruan entered the interview room again.
There were three eunuchs responsible for selecting newcomers. They sat behind a table. They first looked at Yan Ruan a few times, and then looked at each other inconspicuously. Their eyes were all meaningful, and then they began to ask Yan Ruan questions.
The leading eunuch asked: "What is your name?"
"Li Ru'an." Yan Ru'an replied slowly.
Yan Ru'an felt ashamed of his family ancestors. When he joined the inner court, although he did not change his name, he changed his surname.
From now on, there will be no Yan Ruan in the world, only Li Ruan!
Another eunuch asked: "Looking at you, you look like a scholar. Do you know how to read?".
"Get to know some."
The third eunuch asked: "Oh? Literary? Then why do you want to be a eunuch in the inner court?"
"The family has no money and owes a lot of debt."
Hearing what Li Ru'an said, the three eunuchs all nodded - this is a very common reason and a very common reality.
Next, the three eunuchs asked a few more questions and reviewed Li Ruan's birthplace documents - Zhao Junchen had naturally prepared these things for a long time - and after confirming Li Ruan's innocence, they discussed a few words with each other.
, it was announced that Li Ruan was selected!
Out of unexpected simplicity, there are no surprises or twists and turns.
In fact, this is also very normal.
Li Ruan's appearance is outstanding among eunuchs, and he is a rare talent with literacy. The most important thing is that Zhao Junchen spent a lot of money to help Li Ruan open up connections, so Li Ruan's selection is a matter of course!
With the selection of Li Ru'an, Zhao Junchen's plan to infiltrate the Twelve Inquisitors of the Inner Court has officially begun.
In fact, in Zhao Junchen's infiltration plan, Li Ruan's existence is just the tip of the iceberg.
