I Am Immortal In The Cultivation World

Chapter 375 Human nature is greedy

"Brother Zheng, why did Eunuch Chu lose power?"

Zhou Yi would not really think that Eunuch Chu was tired of power and voluntarily resigned to guard the imperial tomb.

Because the servant was cut off, he was doomed to have no descendants, so he was extremely greedy for money and power during his lifetime, and he refused to let go until his death.

Xiaozhengzi said: "The rumors involve the deposed prince!"

Abandoning the crown prince was one of the taboos of the Daqing Dynasty.

Today, His Majesty is proficient in the Taoist way of maintaining health. Since he became the throne at the age of ten, he has been making a dragon chair for sixty years. Looking at his light and healthy appearance, he can sit on it for another ten years.

"Is there any prince in the world who has been around for forty years?"

This is the slogan that the deposed prince shouted ten years ago. On the occasion of His Majesty's 60th birthday, five hundred knives and axes were ambushed.

Throw the cup for the number!

Before the five hundred knives and ax hands could rush out, they were cleaned up by the internal servants. His Majesty abolished the crown prince on the spot and imprisoned him in the Sien Hall in the southeast corner of the palace.

Since then, there has been no prince in Daqing.

The ministers of the DPRK and China repeatedly said, please establish the country as soon as possible, but Emperor Hongwu refused for various reasons.

The second, third, and fourth princes have been fighting for ten years, and today there are newcomers joining the battle, and I don't know which one will be able to laugh at the end.

Zhou Yi naturally supported the second prince, even though it was rumored in the palace that the second prince was cruel by nature, irritable and bloodthirsty, but he had no other choice after worshiping Eunuch Xu as his godfather!

In the future, when the second prince ascends the throne, Zhou Yi will also be able to hitch a ride and be promoted to a high-level servant, becoming "Eunuch Zhou".

As for whether the new monarch will be licentious and pleasure-seeking, or whether he will be tyrannical and abuse the people, that has nothing to do with "Eunuch Zhou".

"Eunuch Zhou" will take his parents to Beijing, and then find a court servant, and he will become a master from then on, no longer a mud leg that is bullied by others!

Zhou Yi asked suspiciously: "Ten years have passed since the case of abolishing the crown prince, why are you still pursuing it?"

Xiao Yuanzi said: "That is not an ordinary deposed prince. He has lived in the East Palace for forty years. During this period, he has repeatedly supervised the country and governed. I don't know how many people in the inner and outer courts support him."

Xiaozhengzi changed his speech to voice transmission into secret: "Last night, there was a disturbance in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and many people died. There are rumors that the deposed prince joined hands with Eunuch Chu to change the palace!"

hiss!

Zhou Yi gasped in fright, Xiaozhengzi and Xiaoyuanzi were both on duty in the Qianqing Palace, not far from the Yangxin Palace, so rumors were probably confirmed.

Apparently the deposed prince failed again, and even took Eunuch Chu to guard the imperial tomb.

Zhou Yi's eyes flickered brightly: "Grandpa Chu is gone, there are so many vacancies, brother Zheng and brother Yuan, don't you want to try?"

Eunuch Chu is not a person, but a faction, a mountain.

All the servants in the palace have hilltops, even the servant who pours Yexiang is the eyeliner of a certain concubine and father-in-law.

Today, when Eunuch Chu fell from power, the servants who were attached to him would suffer in nine out of ten cases, at least they would lose power, and at worst they would disappear.

There will be no vacuum of power!

Those vacant positions will attract countless servants to fight and scramble, and I will appear on the stage after you sing, until a new stable situation is formed.

Xiaozhengzi nodded and said: "The time has come, we have to fight."

Xiaoyuanzi said it more directly: "I dare not ask extravagantly for pens and palm prints. We want to be a companion and serve His Majesty left and right."

Xiaozhengzi and Xiaoyuanzi entered the palace in the same year, and their martial arts talents were extremely endowed. They were assigned to guard the Qianqing Palace for nine years, but they were still not high-ranking servants.

Father-in-law Suitang is a serious fourth-rank official of the imperial court, one of the four giants of the ceremonial supervisor, who always follows His Majesty, and has duties such as guiding and guarding.

This is the Secretary of Internal Affairs, the official rank does not need to go through the cabinet or the Ministry of officials, it is completely determined by His Majesty's will.

It really caught His Majesty's eyes, from being a no-rank internal servant to becoming the chief admiral of the internal servant department, with a first-rank official position and great power in his hands, the folks call him Nine Thousand Years Old.

Zhou Yi cupped his hands and said: "I wish the two elder brothers all wishes come true, useful to our family, just open your mouth, you can do anything!"

Xiao Zhengzi said: "It won't be long before the news of Eunuch Chu will spread throughout the palace. Brother Yi will help to watch out for any servant who wants to approach His Majesty."

Zhou Yi patted his chest and agreed: "We must have straightened our ears."

Xiaozhengzi and Xiaoyuanzi are valued by His Majesty, and Zhou Yi, who lives in the same house, can also enjoy the glory, and even directly abandon Eunuch Xu and switch to Eunuch Zheng and Eunuch Yuan.

Zhou Yi doesn't know what loyalty is, he only knows that whoever feeds Momo is the real godfather!

...

After a few days.

The storm of Chu Gonggong's resignation began to sweep the palace.

At least a thousand people died in one month, affecting the servants of the 12th prison of the Department of Internal Affairs and the maids of the 13th yamen of the House of Internal Affairs.

Zhou Yi was on duty in the Imperial Garden and witnessed his colleagues being arrested.

Some were captured without a fight and given poisoned wine and white silk, while some resisted stubbornly and died tragically on the spot. Some people shouted that they were wronged, but they only recognized XX as a godfather and did not participate in the Duke Chu case.

I don't care about the servants on duty, they are responsible for His Majesty's safety, and any potential danger must be suppressed!

"One day when Eunuch Xu conspires against us, will we also die? Or if the Second Prince failed to ascend the throne, we are lucky enough to survive, so we have to demote Yexiang..."

After two years of comfort in Zhou Yi's mind, many doubts arose again.

at this time.

He is no longer an ignorant young man, he has seen and heard countless palace secrets, and has quickly grown into a qualified servant.

So Zhou Yi understood that as long as he entered the palace as a eunuch, he could only choose to climb up, until he reached the highest point, he could barely be said to be safe.

"Or, we have another way..."

Zhou Yi thought of two special beings in the palace, Eunuch Hai and Eunuch Wei, who were said to have reached the pinnacle of martial arts practice and were invincible all over the world.

The two were born as palace supervisors, but they didn't hold any positions, they just personally guarded His Majesty's safety.

Eunuch Chu, who seemed to be of no rank and rank, was at his most powerful when he met Eunuch Hai and Eunuch Wei, and he had to call him an old ancestor.

"Our talent is low, but we are not afraid of loss of life essence, so we can practice the Epiphyllum Book of Epiphyllum without limit. Others will die after 20 years of practice, but we have 200 years of practice, how can we not compare with Eunuch Hai?"

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yi decided to choose to practice martial arts.

Eunuch Chu is a lesson from the past, he has already climbed to the highest point, and if he makes a wrong step, he will guard the imperial tomb.

"If you rely on your godfather, your godfather will fall. If you rely on your majesty, your majesty will grow old! Only by relying on your own fists can you be fearless..."

"Fist is power!"

Zhou Yi stood beside the Jiangxuexuan Pavilion, clenched his fists vigorously, and suddenly a trace of imagination came into his heart.

In the future, he will be invincible in the world, can slaughter the court with his actions, can he control the change of the throne, no longer be His Majesty's servant, but secretly control His Majesty!

Clap clap!

Zhou Yi was so frightened that he quickly smoked himself, meditating on the three cardinal guides and five constant rules, loyalty to the monarch and the country, and serving his majesty to death...

This terrifying thought is like a weed, which cannot be cut or pinched.

Human greed is endless!

In the past, Zhou Yi only thought about earning money and sending it home for his parents to buy steamed buns. Later, he thought about bringing his parents to the capital, not lacking in money, but also thinking about power.

It’s no longer the human-like animal that eats when hungry, drinks when thirsty, and sleeps when sleepy!
