Chapter 235: Promotion
Zhang Shun has been extremely hungry these days.
But he owed more and more debts, and some eunuchs who were close to him in the past began to alienate him.
After all, whoever likes to borrow dozens of taels of silver, then it becomes a few taels of silver, and now it is a few cents.
He had to save money, after all, that little monthly salary was not enough for him to pay interest.
These days, he was always fluttering when he walked, and he always felt that his legs were not on the floor tiles, but on cotton.
In the palace, everyone hid from him.
Even Jiu Qiansui became more and more disliked him. When he went to see Wei Zhongxian several times, he would sometimes get out of his mind, which made Wei Zhongxian very unhappy.
Today, he felt that he had some cold and always sneezed. In fact, when eunuchs were sick, they could go to the imperial hospital to ask for some medicine.
But you have to give him some benefits when taking medicine eunuchs. When Zhang Shun thinks of this, he dare not go.
So he took a piece of straw paper casually and rolled it into two small balls, stuffing his two nostrils!
In the Silijian, he actually did a documentary job, and was considered a civil servant. The reason why Zhang Shun was so proud of himself was because he knew literacy. After all,... he recommended to study in the inner study room.
This Silijian is equivalent to the Hanlin Academy of the Outer Dynasty, and is the talent reserve base for future eunuchs.
However, as Zhang Shun became more isolated, Zhang Shun only came back to his senses.
What should I do as a eunuch please a Jinyiwei?
But it was obviously too late now. The money was sent out like flowing water, and it was full of debt. It was difficult to turn back now. In addition to the other eunuchs' indifference to him, Zhang Shun knew that he had only Zhang Jingyi, the thigh that he could hold.
"Zhang Shun, Zhang Shun..."
At this moment, a rude voice came from outside.
When Zhang Shun heard someone calling, his first reaction was that the debt collector came, and his face turned pale when he was scared.
In fact, there are more and more such things, and more frequent. None of the eunuchs in this palace are fuel-efficient, and not paying back debts is a taboo.
Even he knew that Jiu Qian was alienated from him, so he actually had some thoughts on this aspect.
But he had no choice but to avoid it, so he had to come out with a tough bullet.
His nose was filled with straw paper, and his speech was muffled: "Oh, Brother Zhao, what...what is it..."
The eunuch said, "Hurry, hurry up, go see the carriage immediately, Your Majesty asks you to see."
When Zhang Shun heard this, his heart was cold.
I'm afraid... I'm going to Xinxian again.
Zhang Shun seemed to be about to be taken to the execution ground, subconsciously, two lines of tears flowed out in disarray.
"Why are you crying?"
"Sand is in my eyes."
"Your Majesty is waiting. Not to mention the sand in your eyes, even if you have a knife in it, you have to hurry up."
"Oh, oh..." Zhang Shun nodded quickly, so he followed the eunuch in a crooked manner.
The eunuch was a little impatient with him.
Zhang Shun's reputation has become bad.
Not only that, this guy also owes him three taels of silver.
If he hadn't been on a job now and was afraid of delaying the matter, this eunuch named Zhao would have been afraid of collecting debts.
Zhang Shun lowered his head tremblingly, looked at his sharp-eyed eyes, and followed silently.
He is now afraid of looking up. Seeing any acquaintance may make him feel ashamed. After all, he owes all the money he has for acquaintances.
Finally arrived at the Qinzheng Hall.
The eunuch named Zhao took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Shun is here."
"Prince."
Zhang walked in slantedly, looked up slightly, and was suddenly shocked!
Oh my god, the eunuchs were standing on both sides with their hands behind their backs.
Needless to say, Wei Zhongxian from the Silijian, there are also eunuchs in the Dongchang and the seals in the Imperial Horse Supervisor. The eunuchs in the 12 Supervisors in the Palace, four departments and eight bureaus, were neat and not one of them left behind!
Zhang Shun knelt down and said tremblingly: "I... have seen Your Majesty."
Emperor Tianqi looked up and looked at Zhang Shun, his eyes lit up. Then he glanced at the others and cursed angrily: "Look at you, they are all silk, silk, satin, fat heads and big ears. Do they look like serving people? How many of the fees in the palace are really used on noble people?"
After cursing Hu lazily, everyone could no longer raise their heads.
Emperor Tianqi then pointed at Zhang Shun: "Look at him, this is what he looks like as an eunuch. You count, how many patches have he put on his body? And boots... Look at what his boots are grinding, but they are still wearing them. Why... Respect, scattered, solemn and respectful are what the people in the palace should look like. Zhang Shun, raise your head."
Zhang Shun's mind was like a paste at this time, and he raised his face, and then he realized that the two balls of straw paper stuffed in his nostrils had not been taken off.
Emperor Tianqi looked at this thin face and nodded with satisfaction, "Look at him, how many times he was hungry? Look at what you are like... Everyone says they are loyal, but the result is... that... what's the best..."
"Your Majesty, I am Zhang Shun." Zhang Shun said carefully.
Emperor Tianqi said, "Yes, it's you, Zhang Shun, look at this one, I'm very good at it. Oh, are you sick?"
"Yes, I... I feel uncomfortable sometimes..." Zhang Shun replied in a muffled voice.
Emperor Tianqi said: "Can you get medicine in the imperial hospital?"
"I..." Zhang Shun shook his head: "I feel that there is no need for this, so I will endure it and it will pass."
Emperor Tianqi's eyes lit up again and said with satisfaction: "Although he needs to be cured if he is sick, he is so frugal, which is what the palace should look like. Look at him, how thin he is, let's see you."
Zhang Shun didn't know what happened, but he was confused and his yellow eyes blinked. He couldn't help but suck his nose, sucking the two exposed balls of straw paper back into his nose, tilting his head, not knowing what to say.
Emperor Tianqi said at this time: "I said that Zhang Shun was diligent and frugal, responsible for his work, and was very down-to-earth. Over the past few days, he has worked hard and made great contributions. I feel very relieved. The twelve supervisors, the fourth department, the eighth bureau, the young supervisor, the eunuchs, and the eunuchs in the palace should follow the example. I ordered him to be the eunuch of the governor of the Ministry of Education, and that's it."
Zhang Shun almost fainted as he heard this.
You should know that everyone knows that the prison is one of the twelve prisoners in the inner court, the admiral and eunuch, and is ranked below the eunuch in the palace. There are twelve prisoners in the palace, and the ones who are truly called eunuchs. In fact, the eunuchs in the prisons and the admiral and eunuchs in each prison. Although the rest of the people, they are all called eunuchs outside, they are actually just eunuchs.
He was promoted, and a good guy, suddenly, he went from an unknown little eunuch to a civil servant who did things for others to become the deputy of a prison and one of the most eunuchs in the palace.
Could it be... Zhang Shun's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Could it be that Zhang Qianhu has many good words in front of His Majesty?
Otherwise, he has offended so many people these days and everyone dislikes him on weekdays. Who else would be willing to say something good to him?
Suddenly, Zhang Shun burst into tears.
Zhang Qianhu is righteous, and our money is indeed not in vain.
So, his blood surged, and he suddenly became energetic, and he said with emotion: "I... thank you."
"Yeah, let's go back!"
Zhang Shun was so dizzy that he came out with other eunuchs.
When he went out, several eunuchs immediately looked at him kindly and said, "Admiral Zhang... Hehe... I always see you diligently on weekdays, but now Jian is in the heart of the emperor, so I am really envious of others! In the past, the eunuchs and the eunuchs in the hands of the seal and the eunuchs in the past were drafted by the Chief Secretary, and then submitted them to His Majesty for the criticism. Admiral Zhang is different. His Majesty personally appointed him, which is really envious of others."
Zhang Shun didn't speak because he really didn't know what to say at this time.
Not long after he left, a group of small eunuchs gathered around him diligently: "Admiral Zhang..."
"Oh... Admiral Zhang asked me if I had any money last time. I was so tight at that time. Finally... I got this money. Look, fifty taels..."
"Admiral Zhang... I'm dead, I shouldn't have..."
Zhang Shun was surrounded, and his eyes were filled with flattering faces.
Suddenly, his waist straightened, slowly took out the two balls of straw paper stuffed in his nose, and wiped his snot openly with his sleeves.
"We... have really met a noble person this time..." Zhang Shun had a thought in his heart.
…………
Zhang Jingyi sneezes at this time.
Could it be that someone is missing himself?
This is strange. In this world, he has never seen a woman of similar age. A lady from a wealthy family cannot show up, let alone meet a man.
Why are there anyone thinking about him?
Could it be my invincible and cute little nephew?
However, considering that the little nephew was just eating and sleeping and eating in his life, Zhang Jingyi quickly filtered and eliminated him.
His current mind is focused on the special operations teaching team.
The recruitment of military academy has begun, and many people have signed up.
Military academy may not be anything to those scholars with fame.
But in the eyes of the people of Xinxian, it is a godlike existence.
Therefore, there are many young and strong people who signed up, and these are all good seedlings. Zhang Jingyi even had an idea... It makes sense that the Guanzhong people rebelled in history and countless figures emerged.
After all, they are truly able to endure hardships. In such an event, what kind of suffering have you never suffered?
Because of their hardship, even in this new county, they were happy and did not feel tired even if they gave people the strength to load and unload goods from morning to night.
In the minds of the gentry, reading and practicing are hard work, but in the eyes of these Guanzhong children, reading and practicing are simply enjoying happiness. Only those families with smoke from the ancestral graves are qualified to go.
Moreover, these people have particularly good physical fitness. It may be a bit cruel to say that, but in reality, people who can walk thousands of miles on hunger and come to the capital after a lot of hardships have already passed the cruel screening. Most people with poor physical strength have fallen halfway.
