Sometimes Uncle Nine Emperors can't help but wonder, is it a blessing or a misfortune to be too precocious?
He had no parents to take care of him since he was born, but he was born with precocious intelligence. He started to remember things when he was less than one year old, including the wet nurse, the palace servants... He saw all those things and remembered them in his mind...
People in the palace have always looked down on those who are superior and flattered those who are inferior. They are born to be exclusive. It is a miracle that a child like him, who has no parents to look after him, can survive in the palace.
Before his father's death, the people around him were all his close associates sent by his father. He received the best care. Everyone pampered him and fawned over him. All good things were given to him as soon as possible.
,But……
Such days were very short, because within half a year, his father passed away, and everyone around him disappeared mysteriously one by one...
He still remembered that when his father died, everyone around him ran to curry favor with the new emperor, but he?
At that time, I had a high fever and my whole body was red, but no one noticed...
He couldn't cry, and wanted to call someone, but it felt like a knife was stuck in his throat. It hurt when he opened his mouth, and he could only make a weak sound...
Such a sound could not be heard outside the palace, nor could those outside hear it!
To this day, he still remembers his despair at that moment. He thought he was going to see his father. His father couldn't bear to leave him, so he took him with him...
But unfortunately, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to. He burned for a day and a night, but he was still alive. Later... he was discovered by an old eunuch. The old eunuch kindly poured him a bowl of water and fed him a bowl of porridge, and this
It was the old eunuch who could give him everything...
A bowl of water and a bowl of porridge allowed him to survive. For two days and one night, he did not die or burn out. It was not an easy task.
It's not that he couldn't remember what happened in the following days, but he had no memory at all because he passed out and was confused every day. He couldn't tell the difference between today, tomorrow or yesterday...
Days like this lasted until the new emperor entered the palace.
The emperor's brother killed all his brothers and their heirs before ascending to the throne. He was afraid of what historians would say, so he chose to give preferential treatment to his younger brother, who was not a threat.
When he first came to the throne, the new emperor was very kind to him. At least he didn't let him freeze or starve, but that was all.
As a prince, a prince who was born with a title of king and a fiefdom, he could only have enough to eat in the palace. As for the rest? Don't think about it. Even the people his father left to him were cleared one by one by his brother.
When he leaves, there are no more loyal people left around him.
At this time, Uncle Nine Emperors was glad that he was wise enough because he would not pee on himself every day, would not sleep in wet clothes in the winter, and would not...
When the palace servants gave him sour food, he could still swallow it stupidly, but...
No matter how precocious he is, he is just a child, a child who cannot take care of himself. Without the care of the palace servants, it will be difficult for him to survive.
In this way, under the emperor's indifference and the palace people's neglect, he slowly grew up until he was three years old...
At the age of three, he already knew everything and understood his situation in the palace. He tried his best to keep a low profile so that no one would discover his existence, and then tried every means to learn calligraphy.
Logically speaking, when he is three years old, he should have a master to enlighten him and teach him simple words, but...
There is no prince of his age in the palace, and no one else can see his existence. Everyone ignores him, and no one remembers his existence. Learning calligraphy is just a luxury for him.
The dignified prince, the prince personally named by the late emperor, if he wanted to learn calligraphy, he could only find a way on his own, and he...
I'm glad I learned it too early.
So, he found the eunuch who secretly fed him water out of kindness and practiced calligraphy with him...
Only later did he find out that this old eunuch was the one left to him by his father and the only one left in the palace who still remembered him as his master.
There is no way. Once the emperor and his courtiers come to the throne, the new emperor will eliminate all the people around him. It is normal for others to want to survive and betray him.
As for the rest? Even if his father left him a lot of power, he couldn't let it come to light when he was still young, otherwise...
These things are not his life-saving charms, but life-saving charms.
So what if his father left more power to him? How could he, being young and ignorant, control these powers?
How could he, who was young and ignorant, leave the palace and contact these people under the surveillance of his royal brother?
He is still too young, even if he has gold and silver, he cannot move at this time...
One day, when the old eunuch was teaching him calligraphy, he said to him: "Master, before you grow up, all you have to do is to endure until you grow up. Then you will have enough ability to protect me."
I am capable enough and am not afraid of the Emperor. Master, forbearance does not mean being cowardly, but protecting yourself. Your life is more important than anything else. No matter what happens, as long as the master survives, everything is possible."
"Master, you are still young. What you have to do now is to study and accumulate... When the time comes, no one will dare to look down on you."
Simple and direct, just the words he can understand at that age, and the words he can understand...
It's a pity that such a peaceful life is just short-lived. There are some things that he doesn't want to endure, so others can let him go...
After learning calligraphy with the old eunuch for more than half a year, he could already read simple books by himself. Uncle Nine Emperors thought that this kind of life would continue until he finished learning, but the palace once again taught him what cruelty is!
The maids and eunuchs around him are all members of the emperor's brother. Although they don't pay much attention to a three-year-old child, some people want to take the opportunity to climb up and step on him to get the upper hand!
There was a little eunuch in his palace who did menial work. His eyes were vivid, and he looked like a smart master at first glance. But this little eunuch was really smart, and he actually followed him and discovered his secret of practicing calligraphy with the old eunuch.
Unfortunately, the little eunuch's life was not good and he was discovered on the way back.
Such a person must not be allowed to stay. Even if he was still a child at that time, he already understood what it means to kill and silence.
Returning to the palace, he called the little eunuch to his side and asked him to play with him...
It’s normal for a three-year-old child to want someone to accompany me, isn’t it?
He took the little eunuch with him, not letting him leave even a step, and then...
He took the people to the vicinity of the Queen's Palace, because there was a hill and a pool there, which was the most convenient place to cause an accidental death.
No one would doubt that a three-year-old child could kill someone. Even if he held a knife in his hand and stabbed it into the heart of the little eunuch, he could still say: "I don't know."
Age is his weakness, but at this moment it is his greatest advantage!
He took the little kite made by the palace maid and ran around. After dozens of times, he finally threw the little kite onto the rockery, and then...
He asked the little eunuch to climb to the rockery to help him get the kite...
The little eunuch was indeed smart and courageous, but just because he was smart, he would not take a three-year-old child seriously. The little eunuch didn't think much at all, so he climbed up and took the kite, but just as he was about to
When I came down, a force of gravity hit me from behind. My feet slipped and I fell into the pool...
And at the moment of falling, the little eunuch saw the Nine Emperors Uncle and the old eunuch next to the Nine Emperors Uncle. Only then did the little eunuch know that he was being plotted, but...
Too late!
If he falls into the water, he will die!
The old eunuch took a wooden board and beat the young eunuch to death directly in the water. Uncle Nine Emperors just stood aside and watched, facing the young eunuch's cry for help, he was indifferent and did not even blink...
He was only three years old at that time, and it was his first time to kill someone. He was afraid and panicked, but no matter how much fear and panic he had, it was not worth the faith to live.
This little eunuch must die. If he doesn't die, then he will be the one who dies...
His imperial brother would never let him be literate and understand the truth. His imperial brother kept him just because he wanted the world to see the emperor's kindness.
In the eyes of the emperor, he is like an object. When needed, he is taken out and displayed. When not needed, it is best to be like a dead object and not to live like a human being...
"Master, are you afraid?" The old eunuch pointed at the little eunuch who was already floating in the water.
The man was dead and floating on the water. His face was so hideous that just looking at it could give people nightmares.
"Not afraid." Even though his hands were shaking, he was not afraid. He couldn't be afraid...
In this palace, people can die at any time. If he doesn't want to die, all he can do is kill the people who want to plot against him and harm him.
"Master, what do you want to do next?" The old eunuch's attitude was humble and his tone was respectful. He did not look down on Uncle Nine Emperors just because he was just a child.
Just like what he told the Nine Emperors Uncle: Master, you are the most noble person in the world. Even the emperor is not as noble as you. You can bear it but cannot let your dignity fall.
The old eunuch treated the Nine Emperors Uncle in the same way. When he taught the Nine Emperors Uncle how to practice calligraphy, he always kneeled down...
The master must get used to having people around him kneeling at his feet, obeying his orders, and being a superior person from an early age. Even if there are no conditions now, the old eunuch believes that it will not be too late.
"You leave first, I will take care of the rest." Uncle Nine Emperors' small body stood motionless. He was obviously still a child, but at this moment, he was tougher than an adult!
The old eunuch wiped away his tears, said nothing, and left silently...
Although doing this is too cruel for the young master, he has no choice. The people left by the former emperor are dead or walking, and the rest all turn to the new master. In the palace, the young master can only
Rely on yourself.
The little master still has a long way to go, he is already old, and his abilities are limited. He can defeat the little master once, but he cannot keep the little master for a lifetime.
The little master is destined to be extraordinary!
Indeed, Uncle Nine Emperors also believed that he was extraordinary, because at the age of three, he was so ruthless that he risked his own life...
