Chapter 558: eunuch

Chapter 558 Eunuch

After pondering for a moment, he still crumpled up the letter paper in his hand and threw it aside. If he was far away from the capital, Zhu Biao would write it down. After all, the third child is smart and will not abuse this authority. It is not impossible to grant privileges temporarily.

Relief for disasters and peace of the people, of course, is mainly about disaster relief, but this time the disaster area is not far from the capital, no matter what the third child wants to do there, whether it is to search for food or to kill chickens to warn monkeys, he has time to go to the court.

Even if the incident happened suddenly, as an imperial envoy, it is not impossible to take it first and then play it to the court, but if he is allowed to kill and punish the court officials at will, the taste will change.

In this world, there are really only two people who can dispose of officials ordered by the court without going through the trial of the Dali Temple of the Criminal Ministry. That is the emperor and the prince and prince.

Liu Jin bowed to pick up the ball of paper, which he personally burned in the side hall of the Wenhua Palace. Whether it was the prince's handwriting or the content on it, if it spread out, it might cause great problems. not cautious.

"Liu Jin, do you think the third child can do it this time?"

"What does my servant know, but listening to the letter from over there, His Royal Highness the King of Chu returned to the palace in high spirits, and this servant is sure of it."

Zhu Biao smiled when he heard the words: "The third child is full of ambitions, how about the second and fourth child?"

"Returning to the Lord, His Royal Highness King Jin ordered an extra jug of wine for dinner, and His Highness King Qi played knives in the yard for a while after dinner, and the rest was as usual."

The dragon has the dragon way and the snake has the snake way. The most beautiful and powerful **** in this palace is Liu Jin. The old Zhu Ma and the empress don’t like to use eunuchs too much. The rest of the princes, princesses and concubines naturally have to follow. They would rather use more court ladies than Use eunuchs more, for fear of offending the two supreme beings because of trivial matters.

Therefore, Liu Jin, the prince's personal eunuch, naturally appears to be unique. Many court ladies and eunuchs in the palace are envious of this, but they have to flatter and rely on them, otherwise, if something happens, even one who can beg for mercy in front of the nobleman No one.

Zhu Biao suddenly looked at Liu Jin inexplicably and said: "I heard that you have grandchildren, but you are really faster than me at every step."

Liu Jin was just about to go to the side hall to dispose of the discarded papers, when she suddenly heard these words, she crouched on the ground in fright: "Your servant is guilty, please punish me!"

"What's the crime, tell me."

Liu Jin didn't dare to raise his head, his thoughts were disorganized, and cold sweat flowed down from his temples in an instant. He, who has always been good at guessing people's hearts, couldn't take it so abruptly.

Can only half-guess and half-ignorantly kowtow: "Slaves and servants who are handicapped are fortunate enough to be valued by His Highness, and they don't want to be grateful to repay their dedicated service, and take children and grandchildren..."

Liu Jin was interrupted by Zhu Biao before he finished speaking: "You are not worthy of forming a party for personal gain. No one in the palace can form a party for personal gain."

"Yes, the servant girl is stupid and ignorant, she is guilty, please punish me severely!"

After a while, Zhu Biao looked at Liu Jin who was trembling and said coldly: "It's all right that you have a few godsons, you are mine, and you have the face of my palace in every word and deed. The emperor won't say anything because of such a trivial matter, but if you go on like this, if you are a son and a grandson, what will happen next?"

"You want to be an ancestor in the palace! Liu Jin, I think you've been going so smoothly these past few years, you've lost your head. Do you still remember why I gave you this name?"

"Slaves deserve to die! Slaves deserve to die!"

Bang bang bang, the sound of flesh and skull colliding with the floor resounded in the hall, Zhu Biao watched Liu Jin's head bleed, watched him stagger and insisted on kowtowing vigorously to apologize.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao's expression softened a lot, he stretched out his hand to caress his left eyebrow and said, "Okay, I won't want you to die, but if you continue like this, Father Emperor won't let you go, and at that time, Immortal Da Luo will also die." Can't save you."

Liu Jin's tears were mixed with the blood on his forehead, and the front of his chest was already dyed red, sobbing: "My servant knocked on Xie Ye for a reminder, and I will be more cautious in my words and deeds in the future. This servant knows I was wrong..."

He is not afraid of anything else now, but he is afraid of losing the favor of his highness. Without this, he really doesn't know what is the point of living?

"Coming"

The cold voice came out, and Liu An and Zhao Huaian, who were guarding the entrance of the inner hall, scrambled to get up, staggered quickly into the inner hall and knelt behind Liu Jin: "The servant is here."

Zhu Biao looked down at the letter paper on the desk: "Help your godfathers down, take good care of them and don't need to be on duty for a few days."

"No."

Liu An and Zhao Huai'an hurriedly and carefully lifted Liu Jin, who was already a little drowsy, and retreated. When he was about to turn around and leave the inner hall, he heard His Highness's last order: "Go and ask the imperial physician to prescribe medicine."

"No"

Not long after, a few court ladies came in with copper basins of clear water and white towels. After bowing politely, they knelt on the ground and began to wipe the blood stains on the ground.

The pure white towel was stained with blood, and it was thrown into the water to form a basin of blood, but the site was clean. Several maids bowed and retreated, and soon two eunuchs walked in, saluted and stood aside waiting to be summoned to serve.

His demeanor is full of fear but also contains expectations. For them, this is an opportunity. For many years, Liu Jin has firmly controlled the position next to His Highness. Can't find a way.

Zhu Biao didn’t show any expression on his face, but he knew that this matter would soon spread throughout the palace, and even those outside the palace who paid close attention to the palace would soon get the news.

There is nothing in the palace that can really be concealed. There are too many mouths, large and small, is it possible to sew them all up?

It is necessary to punish Liu Jin this time. Liu Jin is caring and smart, but it is still too smooth. The **** is physically disabled and there will be no heirs. It doesn’t matter to have a few godsons to pretend to be. How could Zhu Biao care about such a small matter.

But the godson took the godson again, it seems that if the palace doesn't treat Liu Jin's children and grandchildren, there will be no way of life. How decent is this?

The prince is the father, the emperor is the grandfather, and Liu Jin is about to have a great-grandson like the eunuch. Even if Zhu Biao thinks about his affection and doesn't care about it, according to Lao Zhu's character, Liu Jin's sudden death will be a matter of time.

Old Zhu has always been jealous of eunuchs being in power, and the eunuchs serving in the Jinshen Palace did not fail to accept godsons, and they were all killed the next day.

What kind of honor is enjoyed by what status, Liu Jin is a bit overstepped, the so-called virtue is not worthy, there will be disasters, Zhu Biao punished him like this, it is really for his own good, and wants to keep him alive.

Actually, it’s good, even talents like Xu Yungong, Guo Chong, Zhang Fan, and Li Jin have to be sharpened, let alone Liu Jin, as long as he survives some setbacks, it will be beneficial.

Zhu Biao still wants to use Liu Jin in the future, but the current Liu Jin is not good enough. After a few years of smooth sailing, he has been a little swaying. How can he serve as a political force to help him check and balance the military, government, civil and military in the future.

Eunuchs have this and other bad things, but they are easier to use than others. As the emperor's servants, they are the real life and death. Honor and disgrace are all tied to the Lord's thoughts. Killing a civil servant and military general still needs to find a reason, maybe There will still be colleagues who cry out for grievances, murder slaves as they please, and civil servants and generals will applaud from the sidelines.

The group of eunuchs is too dependent on the emperor. With the emperor's backing, the eunuchs have all the power alone, but if they lose the emperor's favor, the eunuchs will have nothing. This is much easier to use than civil and military.

The problem of the Ming Dynasty now is not that the military power is scattered and it is difficult to bring it all back to the central government. The nobles are used to being military leaders, and they all regard the soldiers under their hands as the foundation of their lives, as the foundation of their own prosperity and succession, and they can't wait to hand them over completely. to his own son.

Civil servants think more about their errands, and those with foundations in their families feel a little unsatisfactory and feel that it will damage their reputation, so they quit. But the eunuchs really don't care about the good and the bad, they are all working hard because others There is a home to return to, but they only have one home, and that is the palace, but there are no useless slaves in the palace.

Of course, eunuchs are physically disabled, and their psychological imbalance is naturally more obsessed with other things. It may be power, it may be gold and silver. The deformed and distorted values make them flatter their superiors and be cruel and ruthless to their inferiors. They are very good at playing tricks rudder.

There are advantages and disadvantages, but it doesn't affect Zhu Biao's use of them. As long as the power, gold and silver are not too much, Zhu Biao can be satisfied, but he needs to show his value and be really useful.
