Chapter 3 Double Happiness(1/2)
Mr. Hai left for several days and never came back to look for him.
Zhao Sheng stayed in the room, and what he looked forward to most every day was when the meal would be served.
Speaking of this, there was one thing that quite surprised Zhao Sheng.
That was the eunuch who delivered the food, and he was also an old acquaintance of Zhao Sheng.
In other words, he was the last person his predecessor saw before his death.
After the predecessor delivered the jade certificate, he came to receive the food from this eunuch.
The eunuch who delivered the food was named Fang, and Zhao Sheng called him Brother Fang.
Brother Fang saw that Zhao Sheng was in the room. He was stunned for a while and didn't say much. He always left after delivering the meal.
Fortunately, there is also a young eunuch in the mansion who comes to play with Zhao Sheng when he has nothing to do.
After playing these days, Zhao Sheng also knew the origin of the little eunuch.
He serves General Hai, and although he is young, he is a high-quality eunuch.
Compared with Zhao Sheng, a useless eunuch, he is much better.
In order to compliment him, Zhao Sheng even called him "sir", which made him smile with joy.
He was still a child after all, so Zhao Sheng only told him a few fairy tales that were popular in his previous life, and the relationship between the two became closer.
Although the little eunuch is young, he knows much more than Zhao Sheng.
Just like He Qiansui, Zhao Sheng's predecessor only knew that he was powerful, but didn't know how powerful he was.
According to what the young eunuch said, this thousand-year-old He is the chief of the eunuchs of the Bureau of Ceremonies and the most favored eunuch. He is deeply favored by the emperor. He is the author of the pen and praises, and hundreds of officials are promoted, with just one stroke of his hand.
He also took charge of the East Police Factory and was called the governor. The commander of the Jinyi Guards was his adopted son. He could be said to cover the sky with one hand, and he had power over the government and the public.
There are Yilin troops inside and factory guards outside, whose majesty dominates the inside and outside of the capital.
This is simply a replica of the famous eunuch from the previous dynasty... Zhao Sheng sighed.
He also knew from the young eunuch what the jade certificate he had given him was.
It turned out that in the spring of this year, King Ning raised his troops to rebel. After the autumn, he was defeated and captured. He was imprisoned in the clan mansion. He was interrogated, and the jade certificate is the interrogation record.
As for the predecessor sending the jade certificate to the Experience Department, it was purely an errand job.
Some people didn't want to run away, so they asked my predecessor to deliver a meal.
Two days later, after Zhao Sheng told the young eunuch a martial arts story from his past life, he took the opportunity to inquire about court martial arts.
The little eunuch has been following Mr. Hai all year round, so he must know more about this than ordinary people.
The little eunuch glanced at Zhao Sheng and said, "Don't think that I don't know what you want to do."
Zhao Sheng chuckled and said, "You always want to make progress!"
The little eunuch crossed his arms across his chest and shook his head.
"The martial arts in the palace are not so easy to learn."
He paused for a moment and then said: "There is nothing to hide."
The little eunuch looked at Zhao Sheng and said quietly: "Here, unless you are lucky, you can only forge the foundation from the royal family's secret skills."
"I heard that the royal family's secret skills are more powerful than other martial arts. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Zhao Sheng turned his head and asked.
"That must be a complete secret skill."
The young eunuch sneered: "But most of the secret skills rewarded by the superiors are fragments. They may be very powerful at first, but later on, they will have many hidden diseases and they will not live to the age of ordinary people.
If you want to practice, just do more meritorious deeds. The more meritorious deeds you do, the more secret skills you will be rewarded with, and the faster you will die."
Generally speaking, practicing martial arts to strengthen your body should prolong your life.
But practicing the secret skills gifted by the palace will waste your lifespan.
If you think about it, you know that the royal family is not a good person. They reward secret skills for the sake of their own safety?
If you pass on the secret technique of completing this book and wait for others to learn it, wouldn’t you have to think twice?
On the contrary, the secret skills were turned into fragments, and the internal guards learned them. They have strong combat power, but also have many hidden dangers and are restricted by the royal family.
Simply kill two birds with one stone.
But Zhao Sheng is not afraid of these problems!
Others are afraid of damaging their bodies through refining, but he has immortal aura and can create whatever he wants!
Seeing the way Zhao Sheng's eyes were shining, the young eunuch thought that he was wishing to obtain the secret skill of completing the book.
"As for finishing the book, don't think about it. The management is strict, and only the big shots have a few copies on hand."
The little eunuch poured cold water on Zhao Sheng in time.
Zhao Sheng saw how proud and proud he looked, so he joked: "It seems that you are very lucky, so you don't need to practice the secret skills of the broken book."
The little eunuch raised his chin: "That's natural, Eunuch Hai..."
He consciously let something slip, so he quickly stopped, glared at Zhao Sheng, and ran out.
"I won't play with you anymore!"
Zhao Sheng smiled and shook his head, but in his mind he was thinking about the secret skills of the broken books he mentioned.
The royal family is not afraid of circulating these residual secret techniques. For him, it is a gluttonous feast.
……
Zongren Mansion, You Zongyuan.
The general office here is much more spacious than Zuo Zongyuan.
In the courtyard outside the main hall, there is a screen wall carved from emerald jade. The carving is exquisite, as if it was made by a master.
In the main hall, there are various valuable objects placed randomly everywhere.
It's as if the owner of this place just released everything in order to show off.
A eunuch wearing a green silk regimental uniform with sunflowers on his chest and back walked in from the courtyard, bowed his head and knelt down.
There was no one here, but he never dared to raise his head.
After a while, someone finally came out of the house.
He sat on the Money Python chair in the middle, playing with the mutton-fat jade finger in his right hand with his left hand.
"Little Plum, how did things go?"
Little Plum's whole body suddenly trembled, and his head fell lower.
"Mr. He, please forgive me. Xiao Shengzi is not dead. He is being protected by the old ghost."
It turns out that this man is the general secretary of Youzongyuan.
"Hai Lao Gui protects him to warn me and slap me in the face!"
Mr. He’s eyes became even colder.
Xiao Lizi trembled: "Please forgive me, Mr. He!"
"Go down and get ten sticks, then get out."
Mr. He had no expression on his face and waved his hand.
"Thank you, sir!"
Xiao Lizi retreated in panic.
"Old Ghost Hai... is worthy of being a veteran of the previous dynasty. He responded so quickly."
Mr. He raised his hand and knocked on the table with an indifferent expression, not knowing what to think about.
Outside the hall, Xiao Lizi's screams and wails could be heard, and Mr. He raised the corners of his mouth and let out a sharp laugh.
"Then let's see what our family does next!"
……
Zhao Sheng was sleeping in his room when the door was suddenly pushed open.
With sleepy eyes, he saw clearly the person coming, it was a young eunuch with a worried look on his face.
The little eunuch looked excited and said: "Something happened!"
Zhao Sheng quickly stood up, poured a glass of water for the young eunuch, and said, "Don't be anxious, take your time."
"Today, people from the Experience Department came over and said that you didn't even send Prince Ning's jade certificate that day!"
As soon as the little eunuch said this, Zhao Sheng rolled his eyes and knew that this was another dispute between high-level officials.
Those who want to interfere with Zuo Zongyuan also want to make a fuss about him!
The little eunuch said: "Eunuch Hai sent them back, but they said that you lost the jade ultimatum. It's up to you to interrogate King Ning and replace the jade ultimatum."
To be continued...
