How much hatred was in my dream last night.

...

Since he heard the news that the funeral specifications and the re-regulation of the funeral items were re-regulated, Li Lianying knew that he was done - he worked hard and thought that the two-pronged approach had become a cocoon. Whenever he thought of this, his face was ashes and trembled. The ministers who flocked to pay their respects to mourning almost couldn't recognize him when they saw him now - is this the arrogant and unruly Li Lianying who was once so arrogant and complacent? He usually had money dealing with him. When the Lord Buddha was alive, the man who had "Eunuch Li" had a short "Eunuch Li" and "Eunuch Li" was now as if he had seen a plague when he saw him, and he was afraid of avoiding it. However, the ministers who had always complained about him would comfort him when he saw his miserable appearance and crying expression. Although it did not work, it still caused a slight turmoil in his heart.

Only then did he know the warmth and coldness of human feelings and the coldness of the world! His tears were partly for the Queen Mother, but more for himself. He cried for his unclear knowledge, cry for his short-sightedness, cry for himself...

It's too late! - Although Li Lianying, physically, is still alive, mentally, he is already dead...

The emperor issued an edict: The Ministry of Internal Affairs shall not accept eunuchs within three years, and some of them must be identified, distinguished and dealt with separately. Shi Xu still took the roster and led the guards to clean up. Although Li Lianying never left the mourning hall, there were still many ears and ears and minions he had laid for many years. However, this time it was all bad news - yesterday, so-and-so was kicked out of the palace and left the streets after being beaten to death by sticks last time, and burned to ashes, saying that he would use fertilizer for the trees in the palace.

The Force Network, which has been working hard for 30 years, has been uprooted and collapsed. Li Lianying did not feel regretful at all. He just thought: If he died, with so many people accompanying him, he would not be lonely on the road to the underworld - would I want you to live a better life if I die?

Shi Xu's actions were very big, and the eunuchs knew it, but they had no room for resistance. In the past, they could have cried to General Manager Li for a few words. As long as the empress dowager spoke, there would be no big things, but now General Manager Li is also a clay Buddha crossing the river - it is difficult to protect himself. The hottest thing now is the eunuch Wang Shang, the director of the Yangxin Palace. But at that time, these people looked down on him, insulted him, and mocked him. Until now, even if they put their faces down and begged him, can there be good results?

It's too late to say anything! When the board that was so painful that it fell on its butt, these eunuchs realized how stupid and ridiculous what they did in the past were! There were too few people who could beat 40 big boards, and 9 out of 10 people turned into fertilizers in the tree pits - it was also considered atonement for the past.

Li Lianying was clearly desperate. He had no idea of ​​struggling or a desire to escape. He just thought that every day he would earn more than a day. He waited quietly, waiting for the last moment to come. What should come will come. Twenty days later, just before Cixi was about to go to "temporary peace", Shi Xu finally came to the door, but he asked his subordinates to wait outside.

"Master Li, follow the rules in the palace..." Shi Xu stared at him coldly. The arrogant person a month ago has become like this today.

"Sir Shi, I know the rules in the palace, and I know what the consequences are if I violate the Heavenly Law..." Li Lianying smiled miserably, "It's only because our family lost their minds and acted boldly that we have caused the disaster today."

"Say any last words."

"The slave just begs to give a whole body after the emperor dies, and not to bury it under the tree." Speaking of this, Li Lianying suddenly gritted his teeth, "Xiao Dezhang collected 1 million taels from our family. He should have been filial to the emperor, but this slave dared to swallow it privately..." - I can't make you so proud even if I die!

"The Emperor specifically instructed that you are particularly lenient in order to serve the Lord Buddha for many years and have been Li Anda." Shi Xu took out a piece of white silk from his arms, "Tomorrow is a good day for Lord Buddha. You should pack up and accompany her on the road. The Emperor will choose a good place for you in Dongling."

"Slave... thank the emperor for his kindness..." Li Lianying trembled all over and couldn't cry, but she still took the Bai Ling with trembling trembling.

"The emperor said that money will not be brought with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you if you don't bring you with you

"Of course I... know, please come over after dinner." If you have the life to earn money, you will be useless if you have no life to spend money.

Shi Xu finally felt compassion in his heart, and sighed and turned his head away. When he was about to step out of the hall, Li Lianying stopped him again: "Please tell me... the emperor... the fourth princess of Prince Shangqing's family are not a good thing, so let the emperor be wary of it."

What? Shi Xu was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw the other party's pale face, and nodded suspiciously.

Shortly after nightfall, Lin Guangyu received a report from Shi Xu: the eunuch Li Lianying, who was hanged at her residence, left a last word, saying that she would be buried with the Lord Lafayette, donate all the property behind her to the emperor, and sponsor the new policy and constitutional constitution.

"Restrain him and find him a good coffin and leave with the Queen Mother tomorrow."

"This is what he left for his servants secretly. After a rough count, the silver alone should be worth more than 5 million taels." Shi Xu handed over a booklet, "There are also treasures of all sizes, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, ginseng, antlers and marten, etc., and a list has been made."

"What's the problem of money, if you don't bring it to life or death, why not take it away? Leave 1,000 taels for each of his nephews, and the rest will be used as treasury for national use as he said." Lin Guangyu was looking through the booklet while paying attention to the records above. This was clearly a bribery archive book, carefully recording which officials gave away when and where they were given, one by one, one by one, and every stroke, there were cases to be investigated.

The emperor glanced at Shi Xu: "Have you seen all the things inside?"

"Look." Shi Xu stuttered, "But all the servants forgot."

"That's good. If you remember and say it out, you may not be able to keep your head on your neck."

Shi Xu shivered and knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "I dare not! I dare not!"

"Get up. I just warn you to avoid making mistakes. Some things need to be taken out at the right time, and that's a secret."

Shi Xu knew the weight of this booklet. Once he got it, he gave it to the emperor like he received a hot potato. If this thing was spread, how many heads would have to fall to the ground? He touched his neck in fear. Fortunately, his head was still there. He breathed a long sigh: "Eunuch Li said before his death that he gave Xiao Dezhang 1 million taels of silver and asked him to hand it over to the emperor as a fee for the new policy, but..."

"I know, he gave Wang Shang 1.1 million taels." Lin Guangyu said as he took out the two silver notes from the drawer and showed them to the other party.

Shi Xu was stunned. It turned out that it was unimaginable to collect more than 5 million taels. Unexpectedly, Li Lianying had already given away more than 2 million.

"The difference is that Wang Shang gave me the money, and Xiao Dezhang embezzled it himself. OK, OK!" The emperor sneered.

"Your Majesty, did you turn Xiao De Zhang?..." Shi Xu made a gesture of chopping down - the kind that anyone could understand.

"Not busy. Let him warm up the 1 million taels first and take care of me for a few days. Anyway, a bunch of ministers have given him a lot of filial piety in the past two days, so let him be happy first. It will not be too late for me to settle the score after the autumn." Listening to the emperor's majestic and confident voice, Shi Xu couldn't help but have a picture in his mind: Xiao Dezhang's flattering face was clearly painted with a big red cross.

"Recently, the slave has cleared up a batch of unsightly things, dismissed more than 100 people, and their homes were raided and their property was registered one by one. The total amount of silver alone is about 4 million, and there are countless other treasures and antiques. Several treasures lost in the palace were found back." Shi Xu calmed down and wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead. Although he was so trembling in front of the emperor, in the entire Forbidden City, he had long been called "King of Hell". That list was regarded by eunuchs as a soul-catching life and death book. As long as he saw him coming, he would kneel down and kowtow from a distance - buried under a tree as fertilizer, who wouldn't be afraid!

"According to the emperor's instructions, Concubine Yu, Concubine Xun, and Concubine Zhuo all sent 6 slaves to Concubine Tongzhi, with a 50% increase in the money; the Empress's master's additional 8 people were sent, with a 30% increase in the money; the Emperor's increase in 9 people. It turns out that all those who served the Lafayette would be cut off and wait for the defeat."

"How did the people in the imperial kitchen handle it? I will have up to 9 dishes per meal in the future, so there will be no need for so many people to serve."

"A total of more than 20 were dealt with. Seven were beaten out for corruption and fraud. Prince Chun, Prince Qing, Prince Gong, Prince Su, Prince Li and other princes, Xu Zhongtang, Zhang Zhongtang, Cen Zhongtang and other ministers were assigned one." This method of rewarding imperial chefs on a large scale is probably also Lin Guangyu's original creation.
