great mandate

Chapter 42

Everyone laughed and talked for a while, Zhan Qingshui was finally about to be blinded by the colorful tail fan, and hurriedly interrupted: "It's getting late, there are still on duty everywhere later, if people Everyone is here, let’s start the regular meeting first.”

Shen Wuji was being coaxed by Shun Mao to make him feel comfortable, when he was suddenly disappointed and displeased, he glared at Zhan Qingshui, and said with a smirk, "Eunuch Zhan is the one who can preside over the overall situation."

Zhan Qingshui didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he smiled perfunctorily and said nothing.

All the inspectors in charge of ceremonies knew that this was how Shen Wuji and Zhan Qingshui got back and forth. When it was good, Zhan Qingshui coaxed Shen Wuji, and when it was bad, Zhan Qingshui would frustrate Shen Wuji, but it was neither painful nor itchy, and it didn't affect him. The two trust and are close. After all, everyone knows that Shen Wuji and Zhan Qingshui, including the current Admiral Dongchang He Fangzhou, and the Yuma Supervisor are all brothers who have been sworn brothers. They shared life and death back then, and now they share power .

At the beginning Zhan Qingshui worked for Cao Guozhong, but he was ineffective. Cao Guozhong didn't like it, so he was transferred to the cold and bitter place in the north to guard the ancestral tomb where the royal family was born.Later, when Cao Guozhong fell from power and Shen Wuji came to power, he immediately brought Zhan Qingshui back and asked him to sit in the second position of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

With such a relationship, others would not rush to get involved, and no one said a word.

After all, Shen Wuji was cared for by a beautiful lady this morning, and came here with a rosy face, and he was too lazy to get to know Zhan Qingshui, a poor lonely family, in front of everyone, and said: "Forget it, listen to Eunuch Zhan."

Only then did everyone respond.

The regular meetings of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, come and go are all the same things, except for the different things, the rest are not much different from the cabinet meetings.

Shen Wuji restrained his thoughts, leaned on the grand teacher's chair, put his hands on the arms of the chair, and stared at the speaker seriously, his slender knuckles knocked on the delicate and small hollowed-out aromatherapy heater in his arms again and again, but he didn't Make a noise.

He doesn't even speak.

Don't look at Shen Wuji who can say seven or eight sentences with flowers in the meaning of a sentence, but when everyone is in a meeting, he doesn't like to talk.He didn't speak, which was fine, because he had no objection to the behavior of the people below. Once he opened his mouth, the person who spoke would have his heart beat in his throat.

At times like this, it is often Zhan Qingshui who speaks for Shen Wuji.Shen Wuji just listened, but didn't respond, Zhan Qingshui understood the meaning.

In the end, when everyone had said almost everything, Shen Wuji said, "Is it all over?"

All the father-in-law nodded.

"Our family has two things to talk about." Shen Wuji said, "One thing, the emperor had a decree a few days ago to send Mr. Wu to go to Jinyang Mang Mountain to suppress bandits. All the father-in-laws must have heard about it. According to the rules, you have to send a military eunuch to accompany you. Our family has heard from you for a long time today that everyone has their own errands to be busy, but it seems that our family is the most leisurely. Therefore, this hard work will be taken by our family. .To let you know that there will be no need to elect candidates in the future.”

Everyone laughed along, so naturally they didn't say no.It's just that they thought in their hearts that there is a rule of supervising the army in this dynasty, but they didn't say that they had to be selected from the eunuchs who were in charge of ceremonies. There are many eunuchs inside and outside the palace. , This is really Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.

Or Zhan Qingshui and Shen Wuji are brothers with broken bones and connected muscles, and he doesn't know the deep meaning behind Wu Wei's suppression of the bandits, just like ordinary people, it seems that Shen Wuji remembers Wu Wei's impeachment of him.Zhan Qingshui felt very puzzled and a little worried, but in front of these people, he didn't mention it for the time being.

Shen Wuji said: "The second thing is a good thing. The emperor has kindly approved the establishment of the inner court school, let us hurry up and do it better."

As soon as this remark came out, all the eunuchs began to discuss in whispers, with expressions of surprise and joy.

This inner court school is the same as ordinary schools, but it is also different. It is also a place where students are taught to read and write, but the students are eunuchs.

There was an inner court school in the previous dynasty, but it was abandoned after a few generations. It was because of the voices of doubt and opposition from the government and the public. Eunuchs have always been criticized because of their physical disabilities. Worried that if the eunuch is wise again, it will inevitably become more powerful and stir up the water.

The eunuchs naturally felt deeply regretful.

How can anyone be willing to suffer that knife well? Most of those who can bear the humiliation are because of poverty in their families and there is really no other way, so they grit their teeth and endure this suffering.Since they are all poor and embarrassing to this point, naturally they have never read a book.Just like Shen Wuji, don't look at the appearance of a delicate young lady now, back then he was also an illiterate, downright rough person.

But everyone knows that even if they are eunuchs, if they want to stand out, they must be promising and capable people.If he doesn't know a word, he can only do laundry and sweep the floor. Who dares to let him serve noble people?Even for Shen Wuji's good fortune, he first gritted his teeth, endured what ordinary people couldn't bear, and racked his brains to study management. He Fangzhou taught some superficial knowledge before he was favored in front of Cao Guozhong, and he practiced martial arts. The factory did a few good jobs, and in the end he was fooled in front of the late Emperor, and since then his career has been on the rise.

Shen Wuji mentioned this matter years ago, but at that time, although everyone was looking forward to it, they were not optimistic about it.Now Shen Wuji suddenly said that this matter could be accomplished, everyone was overjoyed, and said one after another: "To tell you the truth, when I heard you say that, my heart was pounding, and I thought, this is not easy."

Shen Wuji smiled, picked up the hot tea that Xifu had just brought, closed his eyes and heard the other eunuch say: "Mr. That's fine—how can there be anything that can't be done!"

Shen Wuji still didn't speak, drank tea and listened to their flattery, after a while, Zhan Qingshui saw that it was almost done, and said: "You're right, Eunuch Shen has become a living god."

The father-in-laws immediately said: "Isn't that a living god?"

"That's right, if it wasn't for Eunuch Shen, how could we be where we are today?"

"Because of Cao thief, it was said that it would be better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. Almost all of our hundreds of eunuchs with names and surnames were wiped out."

"You're okay. I was buried up to my neck at that time. I was transferred to Hetao to supervise the army because I offended Cao Bandit. It was remote and deserted... Hey, I didn't hear any wind, and suddenly in the middle of the night When I was still under the bed, I was put on the neck with a knife, like driving me and a dozen of my colleagues together, saying that we will be burned together to sacrifice to heaven, and sacrifice to those who died in the hands of dog eunuchs in vain. The life of God! At that time, I felt that this life was over, but it was a pity that death was still a foolish ghost and a wronged ghost. I begged all the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the sky... Seeing the chaos, Eunuch Shen descended from the sky wearing stars and moons! Isn’t it a god? That’s even more immortal than a god.”

"Hey, it's so mysterious... But let us say that there are no living gods," Zhan Qingshui sighed, seeing that the father-in-law's face changed slightly because of his bold words, and he was not in a hurry, so he slowed down and continued. Said, "Living Bodhisattva, there is one here."

At this moment, Shen Wuji couldn't help laughing, with tea in his mouth, he chuckled, he spit the rest of the tea back into the teacup, put it on the small table, rolled his eyes and said angrily: "We feel that you are I want to wait for an opportunity to choke our family to death." He said again, "Stop gossiping, there is not enough work to do? The matter of suppressing bandits in Mangshan is a matter of great importance. Our family has a heavy burden and we dare not neglect it. We have to make preparations quickly. Yes. Eunuch Zhan and everyone will take care of the affairs of the Inner Court Academy. Although we have lost our roots, some children call them godfathers, so we have to worry about them like fathers. Don’t worry about it. Tell them to open their eyes and be blind like we used to, it's not easy to endure."

Everyone hurriedly applauded, boasting that Shen Wuji is a living Bodhisattva.

Seeing that the business has been finished, Shen Wuji got up and said, "I won't be talking with you today, I'll be busy with my business first, and I dare not slack off."

Everyone hurriedly got up and sent him out, watched him go away, and then went back to the house, someone asked again: "Eunuch Zhan, what did you mean by that just now?"

Zhan Qingshui smiled, but his expression was a little serious, and said: "You really think that Eunuch Shen is a fairy, and you can conjure anything you want?"

"What do you mean by Mr. Zhan's words?"

"The Inner Court Academy was announced by Eunuch Shen to the cabinet for next year's 50 taels of silver." Zhan Qingshui snorted and said, "Let's see where he will get 50 taels of silver next year." He added "He kept this matter from me at first, and then he didn't let me tell you, so as to save us from worrying in vain, and the matter can't be done well. But after thinking about it, I might as well tell you, so as to save There is always that other person who is jealous all day long, whose life is thinner than paper, and whose eccentricity is higher than the sky."

Zhan Qingshui said, but he didn't look at any of the colleagues who were looking at each other. He just lowered his head and picked up his teacup, and said with a sneer, "I don't even know what the East Factory does, so don't even think about being able to climb it." Climb this one and climb that one, and you can replace Shen Wuji. He is playing the golden fan with Coptis chinensis in his mouth, you only want to play the golden fan, but how can you bear the pain?"

The eunuchs in charge of ceremonies finally understood the meaning of Zhan Qingshui's words - it was because some of them had a different heart and secretly hooked up with the dignitaries, and Dongchang found out.

They were puzzled and surprised, and exchanged glances, but they still didn't know who had the guts, and they didn't know that since Dongchang and Zhan Qingshui knew about it, Shen Wuji must also know about it. People, let Zhan Qingshui beat here instead?Shen Wuji has changed his temper?

Zhan Qingshui covered his face with his sleeves, took a sip of tea, and covered his slightly frowning brows.

He didn't know who did such ungrateful things, Shen Wuji didn't say anything, and He Fangzhou didn't tell him either.Shen Wuji just asked him to find an opportunity to ridicule this person for a while.

Zhan Qingshui didn't know what Shen Wuji wanted to do, he often didn't understand what Shen Wuji wanted to do.

The author has something to say: There is no typo, Mr. Shen always gave his colleagues the impression of the wayward Miss Shen :)
