Seeing Chen Du's calm look, Chu Yi couldn't help but be curious. He didn't know what kind of technique Chen Du recommended to him.
His eyes fell on the secret book, and he could see that it was indeed quite old. The paper was a little yellowed or even mottled. Judging by its appearance, it must have been at least a hundred years old.
As a eunuch, it is not impossible to practice many exercises, but the effects are not very good. The most suitable one is the famous "Sunflower Book".
Judging from the young eunuchs around Fan Heng and the kung fu displayed by Fan Heng, Chu Yi could almost conclude that the Sunflower Book must still be passed down in the inner palace.
He stretched out his hand to take it, and after just one glance, Chu Yi couldn't help but shrink his eyes, and the four characters "Sunflower Book" came into view.
To be honest, the secret book of martial arts that Chu Yi was looking for was the Sunflower Book, but he never expected that it would be so easy to obtain the Sunflower Book.
Not to mention other things, many wealthy people in the world have died overtly or covertly for the Sunflower Book, but he was lucky enough to get it easily.
Chu Yi actually thought it was simple. He was able to obtain the Sunflower Book so easily simply because of his identity.
If Fan Heng hadn't valued him and was even sent to take charge of Emperor Shicheng, how could he possibly have known about this secret secret in the imperial family, the Sunflower Book, which was only circulated among a very small number of eunuchs.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Yi nodded towards Chen Du and said: "In that case, then I will practice this skill."
Chen Du smiled and said: "According to the rules of the palace, the various secret volumes in the Imperial Palace can be read but not copied, so the master in charge cannot take the secret books out."
At any rate, he knew some of the rules within Huang Shicheng. Chu Yi knew that Chen Du was not targeting him, but was just doing things according to the rules. He knew about the existence of the Sunflower Book, so he knew that Chen Du did not just hand over any kung fu to him, at least.
It shows that Chen Du has no ill intentions towards him.
For an old eunuch who had stayed in Huang Shicheng for decades and still kept such a pile of martial arts secrets, Chu Yi knew even if his head was wet, Chen Du was probably a well-hidden master.
.
Putting down the secret books for the moment, this place will be his territory from now on. When he has some free time, it will not be difficult to memorize all the secret books of exercises collected here.
Next, he inspected several bookshelves. When Chu Yi saw the bookshelves full of Yongle Dadian, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The name of the Yongle Grand Ceremony is still very resounding. During the Yongle period, Zhu Di ordered the black prime minister Yao Guangxiao and the chief minister of the cabinet Xie Jin to gather more than 2,000 scholars and spent six years collecting books from all over the world to compile such a set of Yongle Grand Ceremony.
This set of Yongle Dadian contains a total of 11,095 volumes, about 370 million words, and is all-inclusive. It can be said to be an ancient version of the encyclopedia, which brings together the essence of various Chinese classics that survived after the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.
Encyclopedia Britannica calls it the largest encyclopedia the world has ever created.
However, such a precious Yongle ceremony was lost in later generations.
Even if some fragments of the scrolls have been circulated in the world, they are just transcripts, but even the surviving transcripts are less than one percent of the entire Yongle Canon.
If anyone in future generations can produce such a volume, they can easily change a house in the imperial capital.
It must be said that the quantity of Huang Shichen's collection is not comparable to that of Wenyuan Pavilion, but the quality is far from being comparable to that of Wenyuan Pavilion's collection of books.
After walking out of the book collection area, Chu Yi was led by Chen Du to his residence in Huangshichen.
A clean and tidy room, although not luxurious, was extremely comfortable. At least Chu Yi was very satisfied.
"Sir, please rest. If anything happens, you can summon us at any time."
Chu Yi nodded.
After Chen Du left, Chu Yi briefly looked around the room, sat cross-legged, and sank into the sea of consciousness.
On the eternal altar of luck that suppressed the sea of consciousness, Chu Yi clearly saw that his luck had reached 4,500.
Excluding the previous retrospective memory, if 100 points of luck were consumed to strengthen the memory of the Four Books and Five Classics, that means that his own luck has skyrocketed by at least a thousand points.
"It seems that I have been promoted to Emperor Shichen to be the eunuch in charge, and my luck has greatly improved!"
With his mind returning, Chu Yi meditated. After meeting Chen Du and getting the opportunity to practice the exercises, Chu Yi had to doubt Fan Heng's purpose of sending him to Huang Shichen.
To say that Fan Heng was not able to access the Sunflower Book would be to underestimate Fan Heng. It is very likely that Fan Heng deliberately arranged for him to be in charge of Huang Shicheng, and his ultimate goal was to give him the opportunity to study the Sunflower Book.
With a thought in Chu Yi's mind, Chu Yi made a guess and said to the young eunuch Wang Zheng who was guarding the door: "Wang Zheng, right? Go and invite the great eunuch of Han Dynasty."
Among Huang Shichen, Chu Yi was the eunuch in charge, while Chen Du and Han Chao were the senior eunuchs, and Wang Zheng and the other four were junior eunuchs. They were ranked one by one, which can be said to be a clear hierarchy.
Above the chief eunuch, there are also the chief eunuch and the chief eunuch.
Like Fan Heng and Wang Yue, they were also eunuchs in charge after all, but because they held various important positions, Xu Zhi was also a eunuch in charge, but because he supervised the East Factory, he was called the factory official.
For example, Fan Heng, who was in charge of the imperial army, was called the governor. Wang Yue, because he was in charge of the ceremonial department and had the most power, was called the chief steward with a big character added in front of the title.
Little eunuch, big eunuch, chief eunuch, chief eunuch, chief eunuch.
Chu Yi was able to become the eunuch in charge, and he was already considered to be at a middle-to-high level among the thousands of eunuchs in the palace. Chen Du, who had been in the palace for decades, was only a senior eunuch in Han Dynasty.
Soon Wang Zheng invited Han Chao over.
Chu Yi didn't know the relationship between the two eunuchs Chen Du, Han Chao, and Huang Shichenei. Anyway, in line with the principle of not listening to one side or the other, of course, in order to show that he was being treated fairly, he had to summon him.
Korea and North Korea.
Han Chao and Chen Du are similar in age. According to what Chen Du said before, the two of them are senior officials in Huang Shicheng and have stayed there all their lives.
"I've met the master in charge."
Chu Yi smiled slightly, motioned Han Chao to sit down and said, "No need to be polite, sit down and talk."
Looking at Han Chao, Chu Yi said with a smile: "I'm afraid Director Han has stayed in Huang Shichen for a long time!"
Han Chao saw a look of reminiscence on his face, and said slowly: "It has been almost fifty years since the old slave entered the palace at the age of eight, was elected as Emperor Shichen, and became a eunuch as a child."
Chu Yi thought to himself that this is indeed the case, he is another old monster.
"Superintendent Han is the old man of Huang Shicheng. He must be very familiar with Huang Shicheng. You might as well introduce Huang Shicheng to me."
Han Chao looked calmly and said: "The Imperial Palace contains thousands of volumes of books, divided into categories..."
Listening to Han Chao speak one by one, they were extremely detailed. It has to be said that if a person stays in one place for a lifetime, he must be very familiar with it. Just listening to Han Chao can almost tell where a certain volume is on the bookshelf.
This shows how familiar he is with Huang Shichen.
After a while, Chu Yi waited until Han Chao had finished introducing Huang Shichen, and suddenly asked: "Have any of the general managers ever been in charge of Huang Shichen?"
A flash of light flashed in Han Chao's lowered eyes, and he nodded slightly and said: "Yes, the Chief Manager, Governor Fan and Mr. Xu Chang have all been in charge of Huang Shicheng."
[During a heavy rainstorm and power outage, I just went to the Internet cafe to code out new and old books. If you have tickets, you can buy them. If you have a book list, I can place a book list.]
