great mandate

The new residence was settled by Luo Jinyu personally through a real estate agency. The place is not big, in the depths of a long alley in a remote area that is about to leave the city, it is a quadrangle courtyard that can be entered and exited. The house is old, and the furniture is also very simple.

Now all the properties of the Shen Mansion have been returned to the state treasury, including the mansion, and all the servants of the Shen Mansion have been dismissed, only Mr. Ming, Luo Jinyu, Shen Wuji and Xifeng are left.

There are also some people in the court, no matter what their intentions are, whether they are sincere or not, they will always say something good and want to help or borrow some money from Luo Jinyu to find a good house for them.

To be honest, in Shen Wuji's position, it can be said that a centipede is dead but not stiff.

Especially the emperor's meaning is so ambiguous.

At the beginning, Yu Xi didn't hesitate to tear his face and teach people to impeach Shen Wuji, and each case was a major case, and it seemed that he was going to hit it with one blow.

Unexpectedly, the emperor turned around and handed over the case to Luo Jinyu.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see this, the emperor did not want to punish Shen Wuji severely.

Everyone knows that Luo Jinyu is an upright person, but no matter how upright a person is, it's fine if he doesn't love the person next to him. On weekdays, he and Shen Wuji are so affectionate and never avoid suspicion, and Shen Wuji's identity has helped him so much, why? Thinking, Luo Jinyu will make an exception this time for favoritism.

Who knows, the emperor probably never expected that Luo Jinyu was really a cold-blooded and ruthless white-eyed wolf, and that he would "repay" Shen Wuji for such a great kindness to him.

Of course, some people said that Luo Jinyu's move was the smartest, to retreat and kill two birds with one stone, wouldn't this not only save his own reputation and career prospects, but also save Shen Wuji's life?

In the blink of an eye, rumors and rumors spread everywhere, and Shen Wuji's case itself was not interesting to talk about, and everyone was talking about Luo Jinyu.

But after discussing Luo Jinyu, he had to return to Shen Wuji.

Now Shen Wuji's identity is very embarrassing.

He was deprived of all official titles and kicked out of the palace.

In the past, high-ranking eunuchs were either not investigated, or if they were investigated, they would be killed for a serious crime, or sent to heavy prisons. There was almost no precedent for being kicked out of the palace.The eunuch is the emperor's domestic slave, and if a domestic slave commits a mistake, he is also a domestic slave. A domestic slave can only be raped or executed. If he is expelled from the house, wouldn't it still be cheap for him and give him back his freedom?

However, Luo Jinyu argues with reason, saying that eunuchs have grade salary and job tolerance, so why not treat them equally according to the official law?

According to the official law, if a court official of the same rank as Shen Wuji commits the same crime and is in the same special situation, he can be exempted from punishment and be demoted from his original place if the circumstances are justifiable.

People in the court have their own thoughts, some are wise and wise and don't speak, and Luo Jinyu can do whatever he wants, anyway, if he doesn't speak, he doesn't stand in any team, and naturally there will be opposition.

But no one dared to speak for Luo Jinyu in the open, and it would be best not to speak for the person opposite him.

Luo Jinyu doesn't need anyone to speak for him, he alone is enough.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair comfortably physically and mentally, watching Luo Jinyu gossip with the scholars, and made those bastards who had never done much good except for causing trouble for him speechless, his face turned blue, and from time to time he asked Covering his mouth in a pretentious manner, pretending to suppress a cough, to cover up his unbearable smile.

He didn't care what Luo Jinyu said, but when he saw those people being deflated, he applauded wildly in his heart, and when the trash finally had nothing to say, the emperor came to the conclusion: Luo Zishi made sense, listen to him .What, You Aiqing refuses to accept it?It doesn't matter, you don't have to accept it, I can't be more enlightened and holy, if you don't accept it, you can argue with Luo Zishi again, if you win the argument, I will listen to you.

All the ministers: "..."

So, this is what Luo Jinyu said.

Not only that, but Luo Jinyu was also inspired by this incident, thinking carefully about the eunuch system is really unreasonable, eunuchs are honored, humiliated, killed, except for a few special people, it can be said that it is almost entirely up to the emperor to decide what he likes or dislikes.

This unreasonable thing is actually good and bad for the eunuch, and even, the good outweighs the bad.

The disadvantages are similar to Shen Wuji's this time. If the eunuch commits a crime and becomes the emperor's abandoned son, the emperor will not protect him. He will probably die, or he will be beaten to death, or he will die in prison. There are more ways of life, at least, exile for three thousand miles is worse than death in prison.

But ordinary eunuchs rarely have to send themselves to death, so for them, this disadvantage is actually like a star in the sky. They know where it is, and they also know that the star may fall down one day. If it falls, it will fall on their head , will undoubtedly die.

However, stars seldom fall down, even less so by chance, so there is no need to panic like that.

But the benefits are too great, and the stone in front of you can not only be seen, but also can be touched after walking a few steps.

It is a good thing for an official to be promoted, but it is a good thing to have the emperor's preference, but it will never be decided entirely because of it. It needs to be evaluated by the official department. The procuratorate and others have to evaluate and score every year. If the scores are not satisfactory, the emperor will not be able to keep them, and he has nothing to say.

But the eunuch's promotion is not up to outsiders to decide, but the emperor has the final say.Even if there is no talent, no virtue, no ability, as long as the emperor likes it, the ministers will at most go to the scorpion to talk about it.

Therefore, Luo Jinyu proposed to reform the eunuch system, but not many people said that he was partial to the eunuchs.

Rather, many eunuchs who are not yet called eunuchs, even the eunuchs, want to strongly oppose it.

The emperor also pretended to be stupid, delaying the matter.

This is all for later, let's say that Shen Wuji's case was settled, he was demoted from the palace, and his status was very embarrassing.

why?

Probably because ordinary officials were relegated to their original places, at most they were ordinary people, but Shen Wuji... he was an eunuch, and there was no such precedent, so he had no nationality, really counted... no matter how you look at it, it looks like a lowly nationality.

But no matter what, looking at the current situation, Shen Wuji was not dead, nor was he expelled from the capital.It sounds miserable, but upon closer inspection, it seems to have another meaning...

There is no guarantee that he will make a comeback next month.

Therefore, many people expressed their affection to Luo Jinyu in private, and wanted to borrow money and help find a house.

Luo Jinyu roughly guessed their intentions and declined them one by one.

Therefore, only relying on his meager salary that has not been confiscated, plus Ming Lusai, he can only rent this yard now—Mr. Ming also has some savings, but how could Luo Jinyu want it, and was forced into his hands, He also refused to embezzle it, so he gave it to Ming Lu, so that Ming Lu could find a way to hide it back in Mr. Ming's room in the future.

But just renting the current yard is still a "luxury" for Luo Jinyu.

If he was the only one living alone, he would never rent a square yard, all he needed was a room with a tiled roof, just like he used to be with his mother, crowded with several families In a large courtyard, it is much cheaper than a courtyard that enters and exits alone.

But now there are old and young in the family, as well as a spoiled wife, Luo Jinyu was cruel, gritted her teeth secretly, squeezed and pinched her purse containing several ingots of silver, and chose this single courtyard.

Luo Jinyu was worried that his wife would be disappointed, and racked his brains to praise the house along the way, talking more than usual, saying for a while, "Although the house is small, it has all the internal organs, it's very good." , it looks empty, and it’s not easy to clean.” For a moment, he said, “It’s warm when you look down and don’t look up.” For a while, you said, “I’ll save some money for you to buy food and clothes.” You can stay at your friend's house..."

"and many more."

Shen Wuji sensed that this person was worried, thought he was so cute, so he intentionally teased him, and purposely just listened and didn't speak all the way, but who would have thought that this person would go wrong with what he was talking about, so he kicked him out of the house right away Woolen cloth?

Shen Wuji said: "This is over."

Luo Jinyu sighed slightly, and said seriously: "It's okay, I don't mind."

The corner of Shen Wuji's mouth twitched slightly, and he said: "You don't mind, but our family does. Our family marrying a daughter-in-law like you can be said to be a waste of money. My sons are taken away, but let our family live outside? You have a good idea!"

Luo Jinyu hurriedly said: "I don't mean that, it's to see you...then, then you can take Xifeng away too."

"..." Shen Wuji took a deep breath, smiled, and gritted his teeth, "Scholar, you really deserve to be a scholar, but I can really think about it, and I told you to feed one less person and one less meal."

Luo Jinyu was about to explain, but Shen Wuji said, "Stop talking, put away your plans, not only will our family not leave, but our family will also buy new clothes and shoes."

"..." Luo Jinyu was silent.

Shen Wuji looked at his words and asked, "What, no money? Okay you, did you really want to lose our family's food just now?"

"Of course not." Luo Jinyu hastily denied, "it's just..." he said awkwardly, "there is not much money left, and the monthly salary will be paid in half a month. Mr. is old, Xifeng is young... I will buy it for you next month ,OK?"

"Then what will our family wear this half month? Old clothes?" Shen Wuji made trouble unreasonably, and put on a gesture, "Our family has to change new clothes every month, and we must not wear silk or satin, otherwise our skin will be scratched."

Luo Jinyu put his hands in his sleeves, secretly clenched his money bag, blushed, and "bargained" with him bravely: "Didn't you always say that you can actually endure hardships? When you were in Dongchang, Before going to Dongchang..."

Shen Wuji suddenly chuckled, stretched out his hand to hold him, and said softly: "So you still remember? Then why are you worried? Our family used to have a small private courtyard, even if we had enough to eat, it was an extravagant hope." What's the matter, after enjoying the blessings for several years, you are really so delicate? You are a place where scholars live, and our family is a martial artist, can you be more delicate than you?"

Seeing him say that, Luo Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You don't have to say that. It's just me...in fact, I want you to be more comfortable, but it's really difficult for a while."

"There's no need to be embarrassed," Shen Wuji advised, "Compared to before, our family is much more comfortable now, and we didn't even dare to think about it before. But if the family lacks money, our family still has to find a way to get some, let alone you and me. Let’s just say that Xifeng and our dear father, as you said, both old and young, can’t be short or short.”

Luo Jinyu hurriedly asked: "How do you get money?"

Shen Wuji couldn't help laughing: "How dare our family go to someone to ask for money in front of you? Don't worry, from now on, our family will not accept any money that we shouldn't ask for."

Luo Jinyu felt relieved, and asked curiously, "Then how do you get money?"

"How else can I get money? If you are an official, our family is not good at doing business. As for the scientific examination, the whole world knows that a eunuch in our family cannot take the examination. Don't even think about farming and plastering walls. Do it, work hard for the rest of your life, it’s good to be able to eat enough, earn money and hope to reincarnate in the next life. As for teaching, our family can’t do it, and it’s too tiring to open a martial arts gym.” Shen Wuji said confidently, “Scholar, farmer, businessman, our family has no One can do it."

Luo Jinyu: "..."

Shen Wuji came to a conclusion: "It's still reliable to do what you've always done."

"..." Luo Jinyu asked, "The seal of the supervisor of ceremonies?"

"Yes."

Shen Wuji was calm and confident, "The palace will recruit new eunuchs every year. Our family is not old enough, and we are used to serving people and know the rules of the palace very well. Can they not recruit me?"

Luo Jinyu: "..."

The author has something to say: The full-level account has come to Novice Village.There is nothing to love about this year's recruiting and training teachers.

Ps: Back then, Luo Jinyu was young and was still studying. Although she had a scholarship or something, she was not considered rich (?), she was basically supported by her mother, and her mother was very frugal. She felt that her son always lived in the academy, so there was no need to rent it by herself. A yard is a waste of money, and occasionally I want to save all the spare money for my son to marry a wife, so Luo Jinyu couldn't say anything about renting at that time.Now that he is paid for his work, if his mother is here, Luo Jinyu will also rent a small courtyard for her. It doesn't mean that his mother can squeeze into a large courtyard, but the old Gongjia needs a single courtyard.
