Right now, Tongren Province was like a mountain of flowers and fruits. The monkey with the surname Ye was recruited to the Heavenly Palace, and immediately, a group of demons danced around. Without the monkey king, the monkeys were restless, and the mountain spirits and water monsters were also restless. A huge storm was brewing in Tongren.
At this moment, Ye Xiaotian was on the road, looking very impressive. Forty large carriages, a hundred and twenty attendants, well-dressed and well-equipped, the luxurious carriages looked like brocades. The grandeur of the carriage was not inferior to that of a high-ranking official returning to the capital.
The only difference was that you were walking your own path, and there weren't as many local officials coming out of the city to welcome you. Su Xuntian rubbed his nose and said disapprovingly, "Sir, you have always been a low-profile person. Wouldn't it be too wasteful to bring so many big and small packages this time?"
Li Qiuchi glanced at Su Xuntian and thought to himself, "This bootlicker! Dong Weng is low-profile? If he is low-profile, how can he be considered high-profile? He's just a small warden in Hulu County, yet he dares to build the number one mansion in the county. It's even more exaggerated than some small chieftains in some places. How can this be considered low-profile? "
Ye Xiaotian was dressed in brocades and leaned back on the carriage. It was a strange and ancient looking carriage that seemed to be from the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period. He said proudly, "Wasteful? I'm going to wasteful and return to my hometown in glory, do you understand? Low-profile? Those old neighbors won't understand why you are low-profile. They will only think that you are not doing well outside! I want to show off in front of my neighbors. It would be strange if they don't get a shock when they see it, ahahahaha … "
Ye Xiaotian was laughing very happily. Li Qiuchi saw this and couldn't help but laugh as well. The person he was supporting was indeed very different from those high and mighty traditional officials. Sometimes, he would do very vulgar things, but … it was very real. It didn't make people annoyed, but they liked it.
Su Xuntian rubbed his nose and said, "But … Sir, aren't you a bit too arrogant? I heard that the Chief Minister of Guangxi had just returned to the capital the day before yesterday. He is taking this road with only a few dozen attendants. Won't it be too eye-catching for us to be so ostentatious?"
Ye Xiaotian waved his hand lazily and said, "If I were the Chief Minister of a region, I would also have to be low-profile. But I am not a low-profile official, but a local official! In the eyes of the imperial court, local officials are just some country nouveau riche who have no experience. If you weren't like this, they would really be worried. "
Li Qiuchi unhurriedly said, "What Sir said is right. However, although the ancient curved shaft carriage that Young Master Tycoon gave you is eye-catching, it is already October. When we reach the capital, it will be the New Year. I heard that the snow in Beijing is as heavy as a mat, and the new moon is like a knife. Are we still going to take this carriage when we reach the capital? "
"Ah! Ah … "Ye Xiaotian was tongue-tied. He suddenly slapped his thigh and said in annoyance," Luckily I have you to remind me. Aiyo, this is bad. No, no, when we reach the big city, we must find a good carriage! "
Duo Ni sat next to Ye Xiaotian. She was wearing a colorful short skirt and silver accessories. She was charming and beautiful. She looked down at her exposed thighs that were full of youthful energy. She worriedly said to Ye Xiaotian, "Little Brother Tian, the north is so cold. Can I not wear these clothes anymore?"
Ye Xiaotian had purposely asked Duo Ni to dress up like this. His family had seen many women dressed in traditional Han attire, and this kind of Miao family's daughter's attire was fresh to them. It was especially charming in their eyes. He wanted Duo Ni to leave a good impression on his in-laws, and especially on his sister-in-law.
His sister-in-law was one of the most beautiful daughters-in-law in the entire alley, but the price the Ye family had to pay was to take out all their savings to buy an oil workshop for Ye Xiao 'an. The neighbors often said that Xiao 'er suffered a loss. Just because he was born half an hour later than his eldest brother, he lost the right to inherit the inheritance. In the future, it would be difficult for him to find a wife.
His sister-in-law was so arrogant and often bullied his eldest brother. She also felt that she was a golden phoenix that fell into a chicken coop and wronged her. Now that Ye Xiaotian had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to subdue his sister-in-law in a euphemistic way on behalf of his parents and eldest brother.
But he had forgotten that the weather here was worlds apart from the capital. Ye Xiaotian looked at Duo Ni's charming appearance, full breasts, and a pair of pink and smooth thighs. He really couldn't bear to hide this beautiful spring scenery in a set of bulky winter clothes.
Ye Xiaotian said fiercely, "You don't know how we northerners resist the cold. Winter in the north is more comfortable than in the south. Even if a drop of water outside turns into ice, the place you stay will be as warm as spring. Let's not change this set of clothes. When it's time to burn, we must burn! "
Ye Xiaotian pinched Duo Ni's pink cheeks and said proudly, "Our beautiful wife must subdue them as soon as she appears!"
…
Everyone had a dream. Xu Boyi's current dream was to be a "big" eunuch!
Not every eunuch was called a eunuch. Eunuchs were a small group of people who had made it to the top of the eunuchs. Eunuchs were servants of fire, handkerchief, eavesdroppers, scribes, attendants, attendants, managers, supervisors, junior eunuchs. Only those who had killed their way through all the obstacles were famous eunuchs. However, to become one of the eunuchs, even the lowest of the eunuchs, was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
When officials failed in their political struggles, most of them packed up and went home. Although they weren't as powerful as they were in court, they still retained the treatment of officials and were still people who had the power to say what they wanted. Unless you didn't give others a way to live when you were in office, offended too many people, and were too ruthless. Because everyone had the possibility of losing power, leaving a way out was also a way to accumulate merit for oneself. So in most situations, the faction that was in power would not force the officials who had lost power to death.
However, the internal court was different. The struggle for power in the internal court could be described as a storm of blood. One careless move could lead to a tragic death. However, Xu Boyi wasn't afraid. He was an ambitious person. In the past, his greatest ambition was to become an official. Now, his ambition was to become a big eunuch.
To become a big eunuch, one first had to hug someone's thigh. A eunuch without a master was not a good eunuch. A eunuch who didn't want to hug someone's thigh was not a good eunuch. To stand out, one had to hug someone's thigh. There were only four thighs. "The Emperor, the Crown Prince, the Empress, and the concubines!"
Following the Emperor, there was no doubt that you would be the most popular eunuch. Many times, the concubines would have to curry favor with you, curry favor with you, and bribe you in order to obtain more of the Emperor's attention and favor through you.
Following the Crown Prince meant you had the greatest potential. Once the Crown Prince ascended to the throne, you would immediately be like a cripple wearing a gown. Following the Empress was also not bad. She was the mother of the world and ruled over the six palaces. You could also borrow the tiger's power and laugh at the group of eunuchs.
Following a concubine meant you had to hope that this concubine was favored or would be favored. Concubines used their beauty to please others, but they couldn't compare to the Empress. Most of them would fall out of favor one day, except for a few enchanting beauties who brought disaster to the country. In this way, you could have a few good years. At that time, you would have accumulated a private fortune. When your master fell out of favor, your life wouldn't be too difficult.
Unfortunately, none of these advancement paths were suitable for Xu Boyi. Whether it was serving the Emperor, the Empress, the Crown Prince, or the concubines, they all needed to be promoted by the old eunuchs in power. With their approval, they would have a chance to get close to their targets.
However, when the old eunuchs promoted the younger generation, they were also looking for a successor for themselves. It was just like how the imperial court selected scholars. Whether you were a Jinshi or not was the first threshold for your meteoric rise. In the palace, age was the first threshold for whether you could become a big eunuch.
Those who could become big eunuchs would not only be favored when they were in their seventies or eighties. Usually, they would start to be favored when they were in their prime. At this time, he would consciously choose the younger eunuchs as his godson and focus on cultivating them.
This' father-son relationship ', was it better to cultivate it from a seven or eight year old child or an adult? Xu Boyi was already in his early thirties. He had basically lost all value in cultivating him.
Thus, after entering the palace for so long, Xu Boyi had yet to see the Emperor, the Empress, the Crown Prince, or any of the concubines. This was because he was a eunuch of the Direct Palace Supervisor.
The twenty-four yamen, from the Bureau of Rites, which was in charge of reviewing memorials, to the Bureau of Gardens, which was in charge of vegetables, fruits, and gardening, there were eunuchs in charge of eating, drinking, playing, clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
The best had the opportunity to come into contact with the members of the Imperial Family. The second had the opportunity to fish for benefits. The unluckiest were the Direct Palace Supervisors. This was publicly recognized as the most miserable of the twenty-four yamen. Xu Boyi was now a member of the Direct Palace Supervisor.
Xu Boyi slowly swept the floor. Sometimes he bent down to pluck the grass from the cracks in the bricks. Sometimes he raised his head to look at the azure sky above the yellow palace walls. He sighed softly. After entering the palace for so long, the him of the past was like a dream.
The palace room he was responsible for sweeping had been left empty for far too long. Even ghosts were idle and desolate. However, what if one day a concubine angered the Emperor and was banished to the Cold Palace? What if she was placed here? What if the concubine who was banished to the Cold Palace had the chance to regain the Emperor's favor?
Although this was only a sliver of hope multiplied by a sliver, and it was even slimmer than seeing an ant in the cracks in the bricks. However, there was still hope. Thus, he did not despair. You would never understand the world of a cockroach.
That's right, this cockroach was no longer called Xu Boyi. Because Xu Boyi was still a fugitive wanted by the Imperial Court. His current name was Yu Baigong!
Little White was sweeping 'very seriously' under the palace walls. He was' completely focused '. Suddenly, two managers passed by in front of him. There was a whole eight ranks difference between them. As the two eunuchs walked, they said, "I heard that the Chieftain who came to the capital this time was originally a lowly official?"
"That's right. Not only was he a lowly official, he was also a citizen of the capital. His name was Ye something. Right, Ye Xiaotian. Tsk, tsk, tsk. In the blink of an eye, he became a hereditary Chieftain!"
"Clatter!"
The broom in Little White's hand slipped and fell to the ground. He stood there in a daze. He mumbled to himself, "Ye Xiaotian? Ye Xiaotian! "All of a sudden, his face turned ashen. Hatred twisted his face into a hideous expression.
Everything that happened to him today was all because of that Ye Xiaotian. Once, he was a scholar with a bright future. He had a virtuous and kind wife. However, all of this was destroyed by Ye Xiaotian. Later on, with the help of the Tian Clan, he became the County Magistrate of Gourd County. He was a young and promising official appointed by the Imperial Court. However, all of this was destroyed by Ye Xiaotian!
He became a fugitive. He was raped by bandits. He was treated as a bandit and castrated. He was sent to the palace to become a fire-fighter. He slept in a dark and crowded room. He ate the leftovers from his master. He was beaten and scolded. He did hard labor. He lost his dignity and ability as a man. All of this was because of Ye Xiaotian. And Ye Xiaotian became a Chieftain. He actually became a local tyrant!
"You made me lose everything, but you can pass on your wealth and glory to me? I want to take revenge! I want to take everything away from you! "
Little White roared in his heart. He was so agitated that he peed on his crotch.
