From eunuch to emperor

The largest entrance of Tianxiahui in Nanliang is Fuyuan Building, and the host is Hua Yiyi.

In the past, Hua Yiyi stayed in Fuyuan Building.

Later, Ji Ba asked Hua Yiyi to build the Crystal Pavilion, which became the most luxurious place in Jinling City.

Hua Yiyi also likes to sit upstairs and watch the river view, so she moved to Crystal Pavilion, and Fuyuan Building became a pure entrance.

Hua Yiyi sat on the fifth floor of Crystal Pavilion, looking at the river view to the north and Jinling City to the south, with a cup of iced tea in her hand, feeling very comfortable.

Everything on the fifth floor of Crystal Pavilion is good, except that it is hot.

The sun is shining directly, and the temperature inside is very high during the day.

Fortunately, the window can be opened, the whistling river wind blows in, and with a cup of iced tea, Hua Yiyi doesn't feel uncomfortable.

"Lord, the guests have arrived downstairs."

A tall woman in an orange dress walked in.

This woman is wearing a bun of ingots and doesn't wear any gold or silver jewelry. It can't be said to be good-looking. She belongs to the kind of very shrewd and capable working woman.

This woman is Hua Yiyi's deputy, named Xiang Nanchun.

"Bring him up."

Hua Yiyi said lightly.

Xiang Nanchun immediately went down to pick him up, and at the same time ordered the servant girl to prepare melons, fruits, tea, and snacks.

When meeting guests, etiquette is indispensable.

When Xiang Nanchun walked to the third floor, he saw a eunuch walking up with two young eunuchs.

"Master Zhong."

The person who came was the eunuch Zhong Gui.

"Xiang, deputy host, I haven't seen you for a long time, and she looks even more beautiful."

Zhong Gui greeted with a smile.

Xiang Nanchun smiled and said: "There are three thousand beauties in the palace, how can they be in the eyes of the father-in-law in the posture of the lower willows."

Zhong Gui had already walked up, followed Xiang Nanchun upstairs.

"Women in the palace are nothing but appearances. There are very few shrewd and capable women like the deputy landlord."

Xiang Nanchun smiled and went up to the fifth floor to welcome Zhong Gui.

Walking in, seeing Hua Yiyi sitting there, she didn't get up to greet her, but said with a smile: "Master, please sit down."

Zhong Gui didn't mind, he smiled and sat down opposite Hua Yiyi.

The maid poured tea, and Xiang Nanchun let the others back down.

Zhong Gui sat in the Crystal Pavilion, looking around at the scenery, blowing the wind from the river, and exclaimed: "It is indeed a place to spend a lot of money. If the owner didn't invite me, I would never be able to come here in my life."

Although Zhong Gui is Li Chengdao's personal eunuch and has power in his hands, he has no money in his pocket.

He can't afford a high-consumption place like Crystal Pavilion.

Just like civil servants in later generations, even if they reach the prefect level, their legal income is only 30 yuan a year.

For those high-consumption occasions, you can't afford to pay for it yourself.

But in a high position, with great power in his hands, and itching, so the corruption of the power-money transaction came.

This is the case with Zhong Gui, but he dare not use the power in his hand because Li Chengdao is too powerful.

If Zhong Gui dares to take power under the banner of Li Chengdao, his death is not far away.

"My lord, the manager, has nothing to worry about, so he just refuses to come."

"If the Master Manager is willing to show you face, I will open the door to welcome you in the Crystal Pavilion."

Hua Yiyi's words are not only flattery, but also secretly wooing, probing Zhong Gui's tone.

Zhong Gui naturally knew what Hua Yiyi meant, and he didn't answer because he didn't dare to accept Hua Yiyi's bribe.

"I don't have a life to live with, just take a look."

Zhong Gui hehe smiled.

Seeing that Zhong Gui refused to board the boat, Hua Yiyi didn't say much.

Power-for-money transactions require one willing to fight and one willing to suffer, and this kind of thing cannot be forced.

"It's because my Crystal Pavilion is too crude, and the general manager doesn't like it."

Hua Yiyi smiled and changed the topic, and stopped talking about it.

"I invited my father-in-law here today because I want to ask about Crouching Dragon Valley."

Hua Yiyi opened her mouth lightly.

Hua Yiyi came to Zhong Gui today to discuss the purchase of Crouching Dragon Valley.

Zhong Gui also knew what Hua Yiyi wanted to talk about.

Zhong Gui's face was as usual, he still had a smile on his face, but he was already cursing in his heart.

In order to welcome the arrival of the chairman Ji Ba, Tianxiahui actually burned down the crouching dragon valley palace. It was really daring, and it didn't pay attention to Li Chengdao at all.

"The last time I mentioned it to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but the Minister of the Ministry of Industry refused, saying that Crouching Dragon Valley is where the high-ranking palace is located and cannot be sold."

"Now that the Crouching Dragon Valley is flooded and the palace is gone, I think it should be possible to make a move?"

Hua Yiyi drank tea, spoke plainly, as if nothing happened.

I set the fire myself, and I said it again, without any guilt.

The Tianxiahui not only set fire to the palace, but also burned dozens of court ladies and eunuchs to death.

Hua Yiyi didn't take human life so recklessly.

"Wolong Valley is the place where the superiors escape from the summer heat, and it is the ancestral property. The palace was also built by the Supreme Emperor."

"Although the palace is burned down, the superior means to rebuild it, and Crouching Dragon Valley cannot be sold."

Zhong Gui smiled and declined.

Hua Yiyi smiled and said, "Is there any dissatisfaction with us, Mr. Manager?"

Zhong Gui frowned slightly, and said with a dry smile: "How can I be dissatisfied with the world? I live in the palace, accompanying the superior, and have nothing to do with the Guild."

This is true, Zhong Gui only handles the affairs of the palace according to the order.

Those who are involved outside the palace are also ministers of the DPRK and China and important military and political affairs, and they hardly deal with the Tianxiahui.

Hua Yiyi smiled and said: "Since the general manager has no objection to our Tianxiahui, why did you refuse it?"

Zhong Gui chuckled and said, "This is the meaning of the superior, I don't dare to call the shots."

Hua Yiyi still had a smile on her face, but her tone became colder.

"Elder-in-law, the superior clearly said that you can sell it if you ask for a good price."

"But you said that Crouching Dragon Valley is an ancestral property and cannot be sold. Aren't you dissatisfied with our world?"

The smile on Zhong Gui's face froze...

What Li Chengdao said, Hua Yiyi actually understood clearly.

The Tianxiahui monitored Li Chengdao.

If it were anyone else, Zhong Gui would definitely get violent and order the soldiers to arrest him.

But the person in front of him is the landlord of Tianxiahui, Zhong Gui could only suppress his inner anger.

"The father-in-law stopped talking?"

Hua Yiyi exposed Zhong Gui's lie and gave Zhong Gui a mocking look.

Zhong Gui's voice was dry and cold, and he said: "This matter has a lot to do with it, I can't make the decision."

Hua Yiyi immediately asked: "Then who can make the decision? Li Jiye or Xuanjizi?"

Zhong Gui said: "In Daliang, only the superiors can make decisions."

Hua Yiyi laughed dryly and said, "But the superior doesn't see me, so what should I do?"

Zhong Gui twitched his face and said, "Then I don't know. After all, I'm just a slave."

Seeing that Zhong Gui did not let go, Hua Yiyi had no better way.

In the final analysis, Zhong Gui is just a eunuch, which is correct.

"Since the father-in-law can't be the master, then that's all."

"In these two days, our president will be in Jinling, I think you all know that."

"At that time, the president will personally talk to the superior, and also talk about the last war."

"Xixia and Eastern Zhou are now under the control of our Tianxiahui. The superiors should be very interested in this."

Hua Yiyi is a threat, Zhong Gui naturally understands it.

The Tianxiahui has completely controlled Xixia, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty also bowed to the Tianxiahui. They are very powerful now.

During these times, Zhong Gui always felt a little strange, or a little confused.

Why would Long Chen be willing to be manipulated by the world?

Could it be that Long Chen can't beat the Tianxiahui?

Zhong Gui thought that with Long Chen in charge of Eastern Zhou, the world would not be able to completely control Eastern Zhou.

Now it seems that Zhong Gui overestimated Long Chen's ability.

"That's a matter for the president and the superior. I, an old slave, dare not talk too much."

Zhong Gui does not make any comments.
