Dongchang needs talents like you

[It's not that you can't like it. 】Yuan Jun immediately hinted.

From Chi Ning's ears, this meant that Yuan Juntangtang's evil god suddenly became interested in the matter of "loving humans" under the instigation of his senior brother Jiang Zhiwei.That definitely won't work: [Don't force it! ! ! 】

Chi Ning was about to "hate" his senior brother to death, and tried to instigate his evil god to like other humans.You're dead, you're dead in my heart, from today onwards, you and my brother will never be together!

"So what do you think about Duanxiu?" Jiang Hanhan was still obsessed with repaying his favor before being dragged away by his junior brother Yu Xingchui.

What can Chi Ning think of Duanxiu?Of course he sees with his eyes.

What does it have to do with him if others cut off their sleeves?

In order to "revenge" Jiang Zhiwei, Chi Ning told the other party about Eunuch Ma and entrusted him with the hope that he could find out why King Bai Jing wanted to help Eunuch Ma.Of course, the main direction of investigation is still the grievances between King Jing and Princess Jing back then. Chi Ning hopes that Jiang Zhiwei can use his clever little head to find the truth as soon as possible.

Jiang Zhiwei likes solving crimes the most.

The "love enmity" between the two brothers seemed to be wiped out like this.

Until Jiang Zhiwei asked how much Chi Ning knew about Prince Jing: "Do you know where Princess Jing's obsession has gone?"

"The palace change dissipated that night." There was no miraculous final farewell to his son, nor did he leave a last word.At that time, the situation was urgent, and if Mr. Yuan wanted to break through, he had to solve the problem from the source.The corpses of Emperor Tianhe and Concubine Jing are eye-catching, and only by getting rid of them as quickly as possible can King Jing be prevented from causing trouble.

The reality is like this, it is not a story in a storybook, and there will be no time left for chicken soup.

The only consolation that can barely be called is that Prince Jing didn't know from the very beginning that his mother's obsession existed.

Jiang Zhiwei's hand in charge of recording paused.It took a while to comfort myself that Princess Jing finally got rid of that lunatic Prince Jing, which is a great thing, if she is gone, she will not be here.Anyway, even if Princess Jing is left behind, she won't speak, which is meaningless.

"Okay, then can I go to the clan's residence and ask King Jing a few questions?"

"Of course, but I don't think he will cooperate with you."

King Jing is the kind of person who does things very purposefully. Unless he also wants to achieve something, it is actually difficult for ordinary people to ask what they want to know from him.If it's that simple, Chi Ning would have asked by himself.This was also discovered by Chi Ning on the night of the resumption of the palace change. Most of what King Jing said was what he wanted the Queen Mother to know, and he rarely revealed any information that was really useful to Chi Ning. For example, the teaching of Tianshu was almost zero.

"...What about the Queen Mother? How much does the Queen Mother know about the events of that year?"

"The Queen Mother may not know as much as I do."

Chi Ning replied realistically that the queen mother didn't even know that King Jing and Princess Jing had entanglements. She always felt that their young couple had a very good relationship, and it was the most perfect royal marriage she had single-handedly facilitated.The eunuch who chose the concubine back then was Zhang Jingzhong, and his level of concern for Prince Jing was no lower than that of Chi Ning for the selection of concubines by Prince Jing's son.

In short, because the age is too long, even the evil villain can't die anymore. In the case of Princess Jing, there is neither evidence nor witnesses. The only information they know comes from a person who cannot speak and does not guarantee whether his head is Sober.

Shaking her head, she was not sure what Princess Jing was denying.

Jiang Zhiwei's hand holding the pen began to tremble slightly.He couldn't help shouting in his heart, even if it was him, it would be hard for him to cook without rice!

"Can you do it?" Chi Ning sincerely opened his eyes wide and looked at his elder brother, "I've been too busy recently, and the only person I can ask you for is you."

What can Jiang Zhiwei say?Who made him a big brother!

When Jiang Zhiwei reacted, he had already patted his chest with Chi Ning and promised that he would be able to investigate it.When leaving Dongchang, Jiang Zhiwei wished he could slap his mouth.

【You want to know the truth, just ask me? ] King Jing's formation to deceive the sky has been eliminated, and Yuan Jun can tell Chi Ning what Chi Ning wants to know.

【I want to know where my master is buried. 】Compared with King Jing, Chi Ning cares more about his master, Eunuch Zhang.

Mr. Yuan gave the exact address, which was actually in a valley not far from where Tianhedi and the others disappeared.In other words, they've been there, watching desperately as those looking for them pass them by over and over again, with no way to call for help or escape.

What kind of despair was that? Chi Ning felt suffocated after thinking about it for a while.

Chi Ning immediately decided to go himself to find his master. For this reason, the first thing he did was to go to Shang Er to approve the leave.

Shang Er is the palm seal of the chief inspector, and without the constraints of Emperor Nian Ping, the power he can wield has reached the peak of eunuch life, and now he is even more powerful than Qian Xiaoyu when he was the palm seal eunuch.

Shang Er did not approve Chi Ning's leave note, because...

"In the supervisor of ceremonies, the only one I can trust now is you." Shang Er wrote the memorial himself, approved it by himself, and then expressed his consent for Emperor Nian Ping.And because of the unspoken rule that the supervisor of the East Factory is generally held by the No. [-] person of the Supervisor of Rituals, Chi Ning finally fulfilled his original wish - using the East Factory as a springboard, directly bypassing the Supervisor of Rites and other hard-working eunuchs who have worked hard , became the big shot he had always dreamed of.

But it is not so easy to be a big shot. Sometimes, it represents a responsibility that cannot be shirked, it means that a lot of personal time will be lost, and it also means that he can no longer act willfully.

"Do you think I don't want to go find your master's bones in the first place?" In Shang Er's reminiscing eyes, there is a very complicated emotion that Chi Ning will never understand, "I think more than any of you. "Even earlier, Shang Er wanted to point at everyone who said bad things about Zhang Jingzhong more than Chi Ning, and scold them bloody.When serving Emperor Nianping and walking between him and King Jing, Shang Er did not know how many times he suppressed the idea of ​​drawing his sword and killing them all.

He's really, really depressed for too long.

It has been so long that at some point, Shane even forgot what his true temperament is.

However, he still felt it was worth it.

Because he finally avenged Zhang Jingzhong.Zhang Jingzhong has left, and they all lost their right to be willful.Because this time, no one will stand up and give them the bottom line.

"You may not believe it, but I used to be very resentful for a while." Shang Er suddenly opened the conversation.

Chi Ning sat beside him obediently. He really couldn't believe that Uncle Shang, who had always given him the most down-to-earth, upright and orderly feeling, also had times full of complaints.

It's really hard to imagine what that would be like.

"When I was the most serious, I drank heavily every day, got drunk every day, and even gave up practicing martial arts at one time. Because I didn't know what was the point of my persistence, and I couldn't see hope." There are so many amazing and talented people, so many that Shanger can't even blame any one person for his own inability to stand out.

He's pretty good, but still not good enough. There are too many eunuchs who are better than him.

"I'm not the smartest, I'm not the best at talking, and I'm not even the best at martial arts." At that time, Shang Er seemed to be an ordinary servant, good at all aspects, but not outstanding in all aspects. Call it featureless.There is a place for him in the Twelve Prisons, but it seems that's all.No one will remember Shane, because no matter how hard he tries, he can't surpass an idea that a genius came up with casually.

Chi Ning has never experienced such a thing. His most depressing period was just that he was obviously capable and talented, but Emperor Nianping just didn't give him a chance, and just blindly suppressed him.

"It's okay, you are not alone, no one can imagine how desperate I was."

The qualities of hard work and diligence seem to have no way to surpass talent and intelligence.

Until Zhang Jingzhong finally broke out because he couldn't see it, he rushed into Shanger's room and threw him directly into the coldest lake that year, hoping that he could wake up his mind.

"Your master is really scary, you know? I asked him afterwards, what if I didn't wake up, or was frozen to death, what should I do? Guess what he said? He said that would solve the problem. "Zhang Jingzhong couldn't see his friend getting depressed step by step, he did everything he could, and persuaded everything he could, but there was still no way, so this was his last fight, either he got a dead friend, or Get a revived friend.

Fortunately, Shang Er was lucky, he did not die, after experiencing life and death, he finally had a different understanding of life.

"He understands me, do you know? Only him." Only Zhang Jingzhong saw Shang Er's struggle, saw his embarrassment, and saw his seemingly hopeless future." He said, so what if he can't climb to the top With me, you will be my deputy, and I will take you to the top."

Zhang Jingzhong would not comfort Shang Er with the nonsense that "efforts will surely have results", he would only give a solution that looked particularly crazy and seemed reasonable.

Of course, it is a pity that Zhang Jingzhong did not reach the top in the end, and he took the initiative to give in to Lan Jieting.

but……

"It's good to be the second in command. Your master will be the second in command, and I will be the third in command." Shang Er found a way to realize his own value again, and by assisting Zhang Jingzhong, "I used my rich background experience to help you Master bowed his head when he should bow in front of Lan Jieting. I am really happy."

But at this time, fate played a big joke on all of them.

Zhang Jingzhong left abruptly, bringing with him many bigwigs who used to be in the inner court.

As the only surviving witness, Shang Er finally made his way in this deep palace. Everyone saw his hard work, his diligence, and his honesty, but that was not what Shang Er really wanted. that's it.

"I just want him back." Shang Er gently put down the teacup in his hand, as if looking at an old friend from the past.

We all want him to come back.Chi Ning said this in his heart.

"I even wish that I was the one who died in the first place." Countless midnight dreams come back, and Shang Er can't help thinking, if only he could replace Zhang Jingzhong.He disappeared for him, he escorted him, he...

"Do you know what's the most ironic thing? I realized right away that I couldn't replace him." If Shang Er and Zhang Jingzhong switched positions, Zhang Jingzhong would definitely do better than Shang Er, and he would be there earlier. Find the murderer, or even find the missing person who is still alive, but Shang Er may not be able to protect Tianhe Emperor to break out of the siege and get a chance to return to Beijing.

Some geniuses are truly irreplaceable.

That's why Shang Er wanted to replace Chi Ning so much to be kidnapped by King Jing. He believed in Zhang Jingzhong's vision that Chi Ning was the most suitable leader for the next generation of the entire eunuch group, not him.

"Why must one replace the other?" Chi Ning asked Shang Er abruptly.

"Ok?"

"I am me, my master is my master, and Uncle Shang, you are you."

You are Shane, no one can replace you.There are so many powerful people in the same era, but along the way, for various reasons—no matter what the reasons are—they still fell behind in the end and did not make it to the end.Only Shane persevered, and his hard work and diligence have all paid off today.

Not Zhang Jingzhong, not Lan Jieting, not even Qian Xiaoyu and Chi Ning.

At this moment, it was Shang Er who was sitting on the palm seal of the inspector of ceremonies.

***

Although Chi Ning still wanted to find his master in person, he also understood from Shang Er that sometimes, it is really not the time to be willful.He has grown up, if he wants to become the big man he yearns for, then he has to learn to choose and forbear.

The willing kind.

Chi Ning was fooled by Shang Er. It can be said that he was full of pride and high spirits. He felt that there was a lot of waste in the palace, and it was indeed a time for employing people, so he couldn't be this hands-off shopkeeper.If His Majesty is unable to take charge of the court, it is the turn of the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies to play their roles.At this critical moment of power struggle, the supervisor of ceremonies must not be led by the nose by the cabinet, or thrown off the stage of power.That is the status that the predecessors had paid for with countless blood and tears, and it cannot be destroyed by their generation.

Although Wang Yang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is Chi Ning's old friend, but when it's time to grab the credit, no one will be relentless.

Chi Ning felt that the mission on his shoulders was inconceivably important, so he took the initiative to call in his second brother Yu Xingchui for help, and added a part-time job as eunuch, supervisor of rituals, and eunuch Bingbi to his title.

The two brothers and sisters started their careers with such dedication and enthusiasm.

then……

After observing for several days, Shang Er found that Chi Ning was really a genius who was born to eat this bowl of political food, so he waved his sleeves and left Beijing gracefully.When Chi Ning knew, Shang Er and his people were almost to the next door.Shang Er was able to leave Beijing, and he still followed the same method-writing the memorial by himself, approving it by himself, and then doing the process of agreeing for Emperor Nian Ping himself.

Emperor Nianping: I was offended, thank you.

Shang Er left a simple letter to Chi Ning, which said, don't read it, he just led the team to find Zhang Jingzhong's body, when will he find it, and when will he come back.

Chi Ning: "???" I always feel that I have been shaken, why is it!
