Nine hundred and twentieth eight chapters die together
Eunuch Wei returned to the palace at dusk and reported back to Xie Mingxi: "To inform the Queen, Zhilan has been buried."
Xie Mingxi glanced at Eunuch Wei's red eyes and asked softly: "How is Eunuch Lu now?"
Eunuch Wei's expression was dark and his voice was a little hoarse: "My foster father cried for a long time and was emotionally unstable. I stayed with my foster father for half a day before returning to the palace to recover."
Eunuch Lu was seriously ill. When he saw Zhilan's body today, his mood fluctuated greatly. He cried for a long time and fainted again.
Eunuch Wei was worried and stayed with him for half a day. Before leaving, he specifically told the two slaves to stay by Eunuch Lu's side day and night in the past few days.
Xie Mingxi had no good or bad impression of Eunuch Lu. She let Eunuch Lu go out of the palace because of Eunuch Wei's face. After asking, she didn't ask any more questions.
Xianghui, on the other hand, saw that Eunuch Wei was in a gloomy and depressed mood. After Eunuch Wei retreated, he immediately retreated and quickly chased after him.
"How is Eunuch Lu now?" Xianghui asked in a low voice.
Eunuch Wei sighed in a low voice: "The doctor said that this will happen in the past few days. I have already prepared the coffin and shrouds."
Eunuch Wei entered the palace at a young age and recognized Eunuch Lu as his adoptive father. In the following years, Eunuch Lu continued to provide guidance and care for his adopted son. Eunuch Wei also emerged from among the servants until he became the seventh prince's father.
Chamberlain.
Eunuch Wei values love and righteousness, and is grateful to Eunuch Lu. When Eunuch Lu fell out of the palace, he took care of Eunuch Lu in his old age like a true son.
Unfortunately, Eunuch Lu's life span has come to an end. Even if he invited famous doctors from the capital, he could not cure the dying man.
As Eunuch Wei spoke, his eyes flashed with water.
Xianghui took out the handkerchief and originally wanted to wipe Eunuch Wei's tears. From the corner of her eye, she saw a palace maid looking over her shoulder, so she put the handkerchief into Eunuch Wei's hand instead.
Eunuch Wei wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, folded the handkerchief and stuffed it into his sleeve.
Xianghui: "..."
Xianghui's cheeks were slightly hot and she glared at Eunuch Wei calmly.
Eunuch Wei was glared at, but he felt better. He grinned and said, "You should go back to the Queen's side as an errand! It's time for me to move to the Qing Palace. I'll come and talk to you when I have some free time."
Xianghui responded and watched Eunuch Wei leave the palace before turning around.
Living in pairs in the palace is naturally different from ordinary couples. Eunuch Wei has to serve the emperor, and Xianghui has to work with Queen Xie every day. The two meet and talk from time to time, and occasionally they are not on duty at night, and they are in one place...
Still talking.
Take care of each other, care for each other, and warm each other.
It is enough to have such a person in the palace.
…
That night, Eunuch Lu closed his eyes.
We cannot live together, but we wish to die together.
The chamberlain has no descendants, but he is still a man. Eunuch Lu's body has lost an important part, but his emotions are not. Being able to die with Zhilan is considered a worthy death.
After hearing the news, Eunuch Wei left the palace and buried Eunuch Lu next to Zhilan's grave. This was also Eunuch Lu's wish during his lifetime. Eunuch Wei naturally wanted to fulfill his wish for his adoptive father.
Eunuch Wei knelt in front of Eunuch Lu's grave, burned three sticks of incense for Eunuch Lu, kowtowed three times, and said silently in his heart.
Adopted father, you seemed to be a prosperous person in the palace during your lifetime, but in fact you lived in trepidation and never lived a good life. I hope that in the next life, you will be reborn as a good son, a rich son, and a real couple with Zhi Lan.
Eunuch Lu passed away, and no one in the palace cared about him.
However, Eunuch Wei, who was in his prime, left the palace for a day with red eyes and returned to the palace in the evening with swollen eyes. All the servants saw it. As soon as Eunuch Wei returned to the palace, a group of servants immediately gathered around him and asked questions.
Eunuch Wei was not in the mood to deal with these sycophants. He casually said a few words and entered the Yiqing Hall.
Sheng Hong put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Eunuch Wei with concern: "Has Eunuch Lu's funeral affairs been properly handled?"
"Yes," Eunuch Wei responded respectfully, knelt down and thanked him: "I would like to thank the emperor for your kindness, allowing me to leave the palace to take care of Eunuch Lu's funeral."
As a chamberlain, you have a humble life. It is common for you to be wrapped in a straw mat and buried after death. Giving a thin coffin is considered a kindness of the master.
It is almost unique for someone like Eunuch Lu to have someone arrange funeral arrangements and bury him alive after his death.
Eunuch Wei knew that this was all the grace given to him by his master, and he was extremely grateful.
Sheng Hong didn't take this trivial matter to heart: "It's just a trivial matter, why do you need to say thank you?"
Eunuch Wei whispered: "To the emperor, it is a trivial matter. To the slave, it is a great favor."
This is also the most impressive thing about Sheng Hong.
Sheng Hong's approachability was definitely not an act. He never meant to belittle or belittle the servants around him. When he served Emperor Jianwen and Emperor Jian'an, the servants were like utensils. After serving the new emperor, they had the feeling that they were human beings.
Feel.
As a close servant of the emperor, Eunuch Wei felt more profoundly than other servants.
Sheng Hong said warmly: "You have been busy and working hard these past two days. You are really tired. Go back and rest early! I don't need you to serve me tonight."
Eunuch Wei was deeply moved and thanked him again: "Your Majesty is as kind as a mountain to your slaves, and I can't thank you enough."
A scholar dies for a confidant.
Now, even if the emperor asked him to go to the oil pan at the foot of Tiao Dao Mountain, he would not hesitate.
…
There is also a thick stack of memorials.
Sheng Hong ordered his chamberlain to invite Mr. Zhao Ge and Yan Ge to come.
There were many affairs at court, and memorials from various places piled up every day, as well as memorials submitted by officials from six ministries. Even if I wanted to read them all, I would be busy until midnight every day.
Sheng Hong sat on the Dragon Throne for more than two years and deeply understood the emperor's busy and hard work.
Now the court is relatively stable, and Empress Dowager Yu is at peace. Sheng Hong wants to go back to Jiaofang Palace every night for dinner, and then personally teach Princess Aluo how to practice martial arts and accompany the queen, so it is natural that she has the idea of cabinet
.
The cabinet had to streamline the memorials, but unfortunately, they still couldn't finish reviewing them every day. Therefore, several cabinet elders took turns staying in Yiqing Hall every night to review the less important memorials. The next day, Sheng Hong browsed again
Just do it once.
In this way, it really saves a lot of worry and effort.
Zhaoge Lao and Yange Lao both handed over their hands: "Old minister, I have met the emperor."
Sheng Hong was particularly polite to the elders who came to work hard on the cattle and horses, and said with a smile: "Get up quickly, we will have to work hard tonight."
Then, he walked away very happily.
Zhao Ge Lao and Yan Ge Lao looked at each other silently, sighing in their hearts.
The emperor is so generous!
Emperor Jianwen was known for his diligence and often stayed up late to review memorials. Emperor Jian'an had a bad character. When he was the emperor, he was afraid that others would usurp power, so he would never allow his elders to review memorials. The new emperor felt very relieved about them!
