Chapter 42 The Wei Dynasty Introduces the Wolf into the Room
"Congratulations to Li Jinzhong! When we see you in the future, we will call you Eunuch Li!" Hearing Zhang Yong's words that it was Wei Dynasty who wanted Li Jinzhong to return to the palace, a group of eunuchs congratulated Li Jinzhong one after another.
Li Jinzhong cried, really crying loudly, unable to tell whether he was excited or sad. It has been almost twenty years since he was in his thirties. What kind of life has he lived in the past twenty years? In the palace, because he was illiterate, he did the lowest physical work. He was so angry that he could not go back to his home and dared not go back.
The elder brother at home didn't know whether he recognized his incompetent brother or not. His only daughter was sold by him. His wife forced him to write a divorce letter and followed others. From then on, he wandered to the capital and castrated himself, just to make a name for himself one day.
When he thought of his daughter, he felt that the person he was most sorry for in his life was his own daughter. He castrated himself with a sword. After entering the palace, he thought every day that if he became successful one day, he must compensate his daughter well.
But when he is old, he is still a Bimawen.
Li Jinzhong was already in his fifties. In this era when his general life span was only 40 or 50 years old, Li Jinzhong was already an old man and could no longer see his future. But at this time, a little eunuch came and told him that the Wei Dynasty asked him to enter the palace and serve Li Xuanshi, which was a rare and good opportunity.
Li Xuanshi is Xi Li, the most beloved woman of the eldest son of the emperor. The emperor's grandson Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian are both her adopted sons.
Not long ago, Zhu Youxiao's biological mother Wang Cairen died suddenly. For his future considerations, Xi Li bewitched the eldest son Zhu Changluo and asked the eldest son Zhu Youxiao to be his adopted son. Zhu Youjian's mother died earlier. After Xi Li accepted Zhu Youxiao as his adopted son, he also brought Zhu Youjian into his palace as his adopted son.
Getting the opportunity to serve Xi Li is a turning point in Li Jinzhong's life. Wanli is already in his prime, and I don't know how many years he can live. Zhu Changluo must succeed to the throne and become the emperor, so Zhu Youxiao is the future crown prince. Li Jinzhong thinks it is okay to be able to serve the crown prince. But he himself never thought that Zhu Changluo, the emperor, had finished playing in just one month, and Zhu Youxiao only became the crown prince for one month, and was quickly promoted to the emperor. From then on, Li Jinzhong changed his hometown to Wei, became Wei Zhongxian, and became the famous Nine Thousand Years.
Jiu Qiansui was still crying loudly, but Zhang Yong suddenly knelt in front of him and cried with him: "Uncle, you are my uncle. I went to the palace to find you. Unexpectedly, I found you here."
"Uncle?" Jiu Qiansui was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Yong, who was wearing neat clothes, and quickly helped him up, "Eunuch Zhang, you are too joking. How dare I recognize Eunuch Zhang as your nephew? If it is spread, it may ruin your reputation. Get up quickly!"
Zhang Yong refused to stand up, "Uncle, it's a long story. Listen to me and tell me slowly."
So Zhang Yong told all the things that his parents died when he was young and the Gao family raised him. He also said that Gao Shixin's mother Li was the distant cousin of the Wei family, so Wei Si was Gao Shixin's uncle. He was the same brothers as Gao Shixin, so Wei Si was his uncle.
Li Jinzhong still couldn't tell whether what Zhang Yong said was true or false. If a person told lies, it would definitely have a purpose. He wondered in his heart that Zhang Yong was favored by Wang An and Wei Chao, so it was necessary to pretend to have a relationship with Gao Shixin and to attract relatives with him? Now that he is in a down-and-out manner, I guess his elder brother will ignore him even if he sees him?
Thinking of this, Li Jinzhong believed it a little, but he still didn't believe it all. Instead, he thought to himself that he would have to take time to go to the Gao family to confirm this matter. If this matter is false, then this person would not know what the purpose is. However, this matter is mostly true. If it is true, it means that Zhang Yong is kind and loyal, which is really touching.
Back at the gate of the Forbidden City, Zhang Yong showed his waist card. The Jinyiwei at the door saw the waist card and pointed at Li Jinzhong behind him and asked, "Eunuch Zhang, who is this?"
Zhang Yong replied: "Our family has taken the order of Eunuch Li back to the palace by Eunuch Wei of the Wei Dynasty."
When the Jinyiwei saw Zhang Yong's waist card, he was respectful to him, but he treated the person behind him as if he did not exist.
Zhang Yong took Li Jinzhong straight to the East Palace.
There are four halls in the East Palace, namely Fengchen Palace, Xunqin Palace, Chenghua Palace, and Zhaojian Palace. Wang An was a prince's companion, a large novice in the East Palace, but he was also a large eunuch in the Silijian hall, so he was not in the East Palace, and most of the time he was in the Silijian. The Wei Dynasty served Xili, and his workplace was in the Chenghua Palace in Xili. Because Xili adopted Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian as adopted sons, these two children were also in the Chenghua Palace.
The Wei Dynasty is very busy now. He has to serve Xili, Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youjian, and Wang An. He wants to learn the clone skills from Sun Houzi. Fortunately, his "wife" Kebaba is Zhu Youxiao's wet nurse, and he often comes to the East Palace to help the Wei Dynasty serve the emperor's grandson Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao seems to have an Oedipus complex. Every time Kebaba is away, he will clamor to see his wet nurse. Although Xi Li is his nominal adoptive mother, he naturally has no relationship with Xi Li.
Besides, Zhu Youxiao’s biological mother Wang Cairen. Wang Cairen was just dead and was said to have been beaten to death by Xi Li. However, those are rumors. In short, Xi Li himself does not admit it. Although Wang Cairen is the biological mother of Huang Changsun, her status is not high. When Zhu Youxiao was young, the women he often saw were the mother Guo, in addition to her wet nurse Kebaba.
Guo was a legitimate crown princess, the eldest grandson of the emperor born to a small talent, and could only recognize Guo as his legitimate mother. However, Guo died as early as the 41st year of Wanli. Because Zhu Changluo was always coldly treated by his father, Guo was not allowed to be buried for three years after his death.
After Guo's death, because Xi Li's son died prematurely, she kept thinking about getting Zhu Youxiao over and raising him. However, it was as difficult as Concubine Zheng's promotion to the queen. Some things were not something that Wanli could decide. Didn't Wanli always want to promote Concubine Zheng to the queen? As a result, a group of Chinese officials in the court attacked, and in the end they had to leave it alone.
Xili's husband Zhu Changluo was always rolled by Wanli's eyes. How could Wanli agree to this small request? Speaking of Zhu Changluo, it was like not Wanli's biological son. Wanli regretted it every day. When he went to see his mother that day, why was he inexplicably fascinated by a little palace maid in Cining Palace, and the result was Zhu Changluo's gift for phone bills. Thinking of this, Wanli could only blame himself for being obsessed with. How good would it be if Zhu Changluo had no gift?
Wanli's favorite son was Zhu Changxun, born to him and Concubine Zheng, who later became the King of Fu.
However, with Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor, Wanli wanted Zhu Changxun to be the crown prince several times, but they were rejected by the Chinese civil servants in the court. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not do whatever he wanted, and the cabinet representing civil servants could reject the imperial edict. The court officials all believed that since Zhu Changluo was the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Changluo should be appointed as the crown prince.
Every time Wanli saw Zhu Changluo, he didn't look good, and always thought to himself: How great would it be if it weren't for Zhu Changluo's gift? Zhu Changxun, the son of Concubine Zheng, could be the crown prince.
However, Wanli could not resist the opposition of the officials in the court. In the 29th year of Wanli, he was forced to enthrone Zhu Changxun as King of Fu, and it felt like he was swallowing a fly to enthrone Zhu Changluo as the crown prince.
Although Zhu Changxun failed to become the crown prince, Wanli loved his son very much and gave him a fief in Luoyang and was enclosed a large amount of land for King Fu. When King Fu was in the vassal state, Wanli gave him countless gold, silver and treasures. Needless to say, King Fu was raised into a fat pig worth more than 300 kilograms, and was finally slaughtered by Li Zicheng.
"Eunuch Wei, I have been ordered by you and have invited Li Jinzhong." Zhang Yong directly brought Li Jinzhong to Chenghua Palace where the Wei Dynasty was located.
