Chapter 8

Because he was thinking about the business he had to do the next day, Emperor Chongzhen did not rush to enjoy the pleasures of life. He still had some determination.As long as we stabilize the situation and revive the Ming Dynasty, what kind of woman will not do it!He knew this very well.

In the early morning of the next day, it was actually not bright yet.Even if the original Emperor Chongzhen was diligent, he still hadn't gotten up at this time.However, on this day, Emperor Chongzhen, who had traveled through time, got up.

Seeing this, the court ladies and eunuchs who were serving were slightly surprised, but then became indifferent.After all, Emperor Chongzhen is also famous for his diligent administration, and it is not incomprehensible that it was a little earlier than usual. Who made the Manchu and Qing troops still raging in the capital?

However, after Emperor Chongzhen got up, he didn't go to review the memorial. Instead, he told the people around him: "It's still early, I'm going to walk around casually, you follow, please keep your voice down, don't disturb others!"

Hearing this, these chambermaids couldn't help but be surprised.

You know, it's December now, it's the twelfth lunar month of winter, if you walk around casually, people will freeze to death, okay?And at this time, if you walk around casually, you can't see anything.Only the lowest-ranking maids in the palace had to get up and do things.

In addition, the emperor seemed to have taken these slaves into consideration, and he didn't want to let the slaves suffer, which made them all feel a little grateful.

However, no matter what they thought, Emperor Chongzhen had made up his mind, and no one could change it.

Braving the cold wind, Emperor Chongzhen heaved a sigh of relief and walked towards his intended destination.

Along the way, the maids and servants who got up early and got busy suddenly opened their mouths in surprise when they saw the emperor passing by. Obviously, this was beyond their expectations.

And in a corner of the palace, at this time, compared to other places, it is more lively.

In the house, there were about forty or fifty seats, and there were already more than a dozen eunuchs sitting there, holding books and reading.Judging by their age, they are probably about fourteen or fifteen years old.

With a bang, the door was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind rushed in.Immediately, the little eunuchs inside shivered from the cold.

Under such circumstances, these people were naturally angry in their hearts, and when they turned their heads to see who it was, they dared not speak out and had to endure it.

Pushing the door open were four eunuchs who were of the same age as the eunuchs inside, but with different expressions.He held his head up, staring at no one, and when he got to his seat, he didn't study, and several people gathered to talk to each other.

With a bang, the door was pushed open again, and several eunuchs walked in.Just like the previous few, they looked arrogant and ignored the others. They formed a group of their own and talked there.

When the sky was getting brighter, several waves of eunuchs were not only late, but also only focused on talking and chatting.

From what they said, they seemed to have what it took to do it.

"You tell me, we are scheduled to work as the Supervisor of Ceremonies, what should we be careful about?"

"It goes without saying that as long as you listen to your godfather, you can do whatever your godfather asks you to do, and never do anything you don't want to do!"

"..."

"Over there, I don't know if we want to use knives and guns at the Yumajian, but I don't want to!"

"No, we just need to serve our godfather and obey his orders."

"..."

In a corner of the room, several eunuchs were so noisy that they couldn't study at all, but they didn't dare to attack.One of them, who seemed to be physically stronger, suddenly couldn't take it anymore, stood up and left.

The few people beside him also stood up holding their books when they saw him.

But at this moment, a eunuch who was chatting suddenly saw it and asked loudly, "Chen Baoting, where are you going?"

The stronger eunuch was Chen Baoting. After hearing the words, he replied in a cold voice: "Go back to the class, and after a few days of the big exam, you can't watch it while sitting here, look outside!"

Obviously, the few people on his side wanted to do this.

When they were talking, the others stopped talking and turned their heads to look at the past.

Hearing this, the class leader sneered and said, "A group of poor people who haven't recognized the reality until now. If you don't have money, what's the use of passing the exam?"

"Yes, you can't speak with your mouth, and no one will pay you, so it's useless to pass the exam!" Immediately someone echoed, "Look at us, we don't even need to take the exam, we have already been hired by default. You guys, don't After thinking about it, I will be assigned to the clothing bureau!"

"That's right, depending on you guys, you even spent a long time putting together such things as white wax, handkerchiefs, and dragon hanging incense. You are destined to be coolies!"

"..."

There was noise in the house, but outside the house, Emperor Chongzhen had already stood still, looked up at the plaque, on which was written the words "Neishutang", which was exactly where he was going to come.

Hearing the movement from inside, a servant wanted to scold him.However, Emperor Chongzhen stopped him as soon as he stretched out his hand, and then stood at the door, listening quietly to the movement in the room.

"Chen Baoting, for the sake of our fellow students, I will teach you to be a good boy. In today's world, you either have to be rich or you have to learn to fawn. Don't think I said it harshly. In fact, it is like this. Only in this way can it be possible for the superiors to Give me a chance. Do you understand?"

"Don't pay attention to them, anyway, we have already recognized our godfather. After a few days, we will report to each prison and let them read it, even if they pass the exam in the end, so what? Don't we have to do coolies, no use!"

"..."

Among these ostentatious and sarcasm voices, an angry voice suddenly came out: "Bao Ting, ignore them. We have no money, and we don't know how to curry favor, but the sages in the book have taught us to do things practically and study hard. There will be a day when you will become famous!"

"Tianbao, you're right. These people are exquisite, so someone from outside invested money in them. We are not on the same road as them. The so-called differences do not conspire with each other. Come on, let's go outside and read a book!"

"Go, let's go!"

"..."

Hearing these words, it seemed that someone became angry from embarrassment.

"Don't go out, just stay here."

"Hehe, you all want to go outside to put on a show, and then hope to be appreciated by the passing nobleman?"

"Haha, stop dreaming, Neishutang is located in a remote place, and you still dream of meeting noble people passing by!"

"..."

Hearing their mocking words, Chen Baoting's voice also became angry, and he responded loudly: "Hugh is so bloody, I just want to read a book, I don't have to spend so much time!"

"Yes, before you came, we were already reading here!"

"You guys come here to chat so unscrupulously, how can we read in the house? We are not allowed to go out now, it is really deceiving!"

"..."

In the midst of these noisy sounds, someone suddenly seemed to be clapping their hands, the sound of "slapping" was more eye-catching, and at the same time someone was shouting: "Okay, okay, don't make any noise!"

The room suddenly became quiet. Emperor Chongzhen outside the room had a good memory. He heard that the person who shouted not to make noise should be the foreman.

I only heard the class leader say after the room was quiet: "Chen Baoting, you can go out if you want to, maybe you will meet a noble person passing by and see you pretending to read a book outside, and then the nobleman will ask you to go out." So, the crow has become a phoenix, right? But in this way, even though we all have godfathers behind us, we still have to be punished to some extent. So, don’t blame our family for not being sympathetic. If you slip under our crotch, then we will take the risk and let you go out to study? How about it? To slip or not to slip?"

As soon as his words fell, there was a booing immediately, with a sneer: "Yes, we got into the crotch, we will take this risk and give you a chance to turn a crow into a phoenix!"

"Didn't the Marquis of Huaiyin in the history books drill his crotch? Let's be villains for once, come on, come on and drill his crotch!"

"..."

Amidst these laughing and booing, an angry voice suddenly sounded, it sounded like that Chen Baoting, and he shouted angrily: "The few of us are just trying to get a good result from these years of hard study, don't use small A man's heart measures a gentleman's belly. Don't force us!"

"Yes, we're just so noisy that we can't read. After the big exam, you will take your Yangguan Road, and we will take our single-plank bridge. They have nothing to do with each other. I, Lan Tianbao, can swear to the sky."

"..."

However, what responded to them was still a sneer of disdain, saying things like "to drill or not to drill".Obviously, those people didn't want to let them go.

"Scholars can be killed and cannot be humiliated! Don't bully others too much!" Chen Baoting's voice came out again.

Then, there were footsteps in the house, and then there seemed to be pushing and shouting.No need to look, there must be someone in the room who wants to come out, and someone is blocking it, which means there is a hint of violence.

It was still very quiet outside the house, and Emperor Chongzhen could tell that those were good seedlings, and they hadn't been polluted by the bad habits of the palace, and the water chestnuts hadn't been worn off. Such servants were exactly what he needed.

And the maids standing behind him all lowered their heads, feeling sad for those people in the room.

The inner study hall is remote here, nobles would not come, but now, the most expensive noble in the palace came, and stood outside the house.Your every move in the house has been heard by the emperor.Regardless of the fact that the emperor hasn't said anything yet, it is possible for the head to fall to the ground when he gets angry after a while.Maybe, if you say these words, it will also implicate various regulatory affairs.Ah, you still wish for luck!

While thinking about this, these maids secretly glanced at their master.I saw Emperor Chongzhen still standing there, expressionless, listening quietly.

Suddenly there was a "clang" and the door was opened. Then a man seemed to be pushed and staggered out, almost hitting Emperor Chongzhen standing outside.

At the same time, inside the room, several people grabbed each other's clothes and arms, and they all rushed outside.

But suddenly, they were all stunned because they saw outsiders standing outside the house.
