I want to be a grandson

Chapter 286

"Your Highness, the Imperial Priest sent someone to say that some gifts brought back by the princes are now placed in the Imperial Prison, and some of them are for Your Highness. I asked if we should send someone to pick them up, or let them deliver them."

Wang Zhong came to the side of the emperor's grandson, and said respectfully.

At this time Zhu Yunxi was lying on the rocking chair, closing his eyes and dozing leisurely, his palms patted his knees regularly.

"Has every vassal king given me gifts?"

Wang Zhong replied: "According to the rules in the palace and the past practice, the prince will always bring some things with him when he goes to Beijing to meet His Majesty. Because the East Palace is the heir apparent, so he will express something... The slaves didn't ask too much. , I still don’t know who sent it.”

The previous practice was for Prince Zhu Biao.

But now I live in the East Palace and become the heir apparent of Daming. According to the status of the family, they are their nephews.
Whether they will be willing to give "gifts" is not certain!

At this time Zhu Yunxi opened his eyes, and said lightly: "In this case, you should go there yourself, don't confuse the presents, and bring the brochure back for me to see, after all, it is the uncle's kindness, so I don't want to let you down." .”

How these vassals feel about themselves, whether they are convinced, or depressed, can often get a glimpse of the leopard through the gifts they receive.

"Yes, slaves obey." Wang Zhong accepted the order, and took several eunuchs to the imperial prison.

The imperial supervisor is signed by the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty and belongs to one of the twelve supervisors. There are eunuchs with palm seals, and there are supervisors inside and outside the supervisor, the general secretary, the director, the writer, and the supervisor.

The imperial supervisor built screens, beds and other wooden utensils for palace relocation, as well as red sandalwood, ivory, ebony, and snails.

There is also a supervisor of the Hall of Renzhi, who is in charge of books and albums written by the Hall of Martial Ying.

"Imperial Supervisor" is an institution in the Ming Dynasty that specializes in the manufacture of office supplies, and its duty is to supervise the manufacture of palace utensils.

In addition, the imperial prison is also responsible for receiving gifts from the princes, and all the gifts must be sorted into books and put into the warehouse, and there must be no sloppy at all.

"Congratulatory gift from the King of Yan, ten 30-year-old wild ginseng. Solid. Put in storage."

"One hundred pieces of white cotton silk cloth. Solid. Put into storage."

"Four gilded screens, solid. Put in storage."

"Sprinkle two pieces of Jinmu Chojiao washbasin, solid. Put in storage."

"Four gold-coated and copper-coated pieces, solid. Put into storage."

……

According to the gift list, some eunuchs will read out the names and quantities of the items, and then there will be eunuchs who will check them specifically, and only after checking that they are correct will they say "true".

Then some eunuchs took things into the warehouse, and the eunuchs would also record in the booklet to prove that the things had indeed been put into the warehouse.

Because even a single piece of these things is enough to feed an ordinary family for several years.

If something valuable is really lost, it will be fatal!
At this time, in the treasury of the imperial prison, he was busy accepting the gifts sent by King Yan to be dedicated to His Majesty and Grandson.

Eunuch Li Hua was the eunuch in charge of the Yan Palace who came to present gifts. At this time, he stood behind the busy crowd and quietly stuffed a few precious notes into the sleeves of the eunuch next to him.

The eunuch next to him secretly flipped through the treasure in his hand with his fingers in his sleeve, and knew how sincere the other party's "kindness" was.

So he said with a smile on his face: "Eunuch Li, you came here to bring so many good things to His Royal Highness King Yan, and cost you so much, I'm really sorry, how embarrassing we are."

This eunuch is Wantong, the supervisor of the imperial prison, who is responsible for recording the treasures.

The eunuch Li Hua said with a smile: "Eunuch Wan is still dedicated to his duties in such a cold weather, and there is nothing to slack off. He is really a role model for me. A little thought is just like adding two cups of hot tea to warm up your body."

"You say that...it makes it difficult for me to refuse."

"Don't refuse! We are all on duty, and we are all following the meaning of the above. No one loves us, so why don't we feel sorry for ourselves? It is also my blessing to get close to my father-in-law because of this rare opportunity."

"See what you said..."

Li Hua said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Yan is the feudal lord of the Ming Dynasty, with a high position and authority, and I respect him as a slave."

A tacit understanding was reached between these quiet words.

"Alas..." Li Hua, the eunuch of the Prince Yan's Mansion, looked at the people who were busy not far away, and everyone couldn't help but sighed.

Courtesy to people, there must be something to ask for.

This is the eternal truth.

A eunuch who can be a high-ranking eunuch in the palace will never even understand this bit of human sophistication, so he sighed and asked: "Could it be that Eunuch Wan has something on his mind?"

Wantong laughed at himself, and said with shame on his face: "Since Eunuch Li saw it, I dare not hide it anymore, I'm just afraid of polluting Eunuch's ears..."

"Where is it? It just so happens that I have nothing to do at the moment, so let's treat it as a small talk."

Wantong raised his chin and said to him, "Did you see the one holding the vase?"

Li Hua looked at a young eunuch who was registering with a plum bottle in his arms.

Can't help asking: "Could it be that he didn't understand the rules and offended the nobleman?"

Wantong said: "Oh, my father-in-law doesn't know something. His name is Ma He, and he is also a restless master. He always reads secretly in the palace.

I seized the opportunity to go to the officials of the palace. I taught him many times, but he didn't know how to repent, and he got worse!You just don't pay attention to me! "

Turning to Li Hua again, he bowed slightly and said: "Eunuch is an old man in the palace, I see that the eunuchs below you are all obedient and obedient, which is really enviable... I don't know if there is any secret recipe? Can you pass me a lesson or two?" ?”

"You don't know, this matter has disturbed me so much that I can't eat or sleep. I have served in the palace several times, and almost something went wrong! What do you think is wrong!"

The corner of Li Hua's mouth raised a smile, knowing that this matter is definitely not as simple as Wantong said.

So he opened his mouth and asked: "Could it be that he has some roots in the Palace of the Underworld?"

If this little eunuch really broke the rules and violated the ban of the palace, then Wantong has thousands of ways to deal with him!

Now that he gave himself money and came to ask him for advice, that was to let him teach him a lesson!
So the only explanation is that Wantong is inconvenient to come forward, or he doesn't want to offend the people behind him.

Wantong said in embarrassment: "A distant relative of his is also serving in the palace, so I don't want to offend him..."

"Oh……"

Li Hua now understands that his feelings mean that he has some enemies in the palace, and he wants to take this opportunity to take revenge on the relatives of the other party.

Li Hua doesn't know what's going on between them, and there's no need to know, but it's just a matter of lifting a finger, so why don't we have to get to the bottom of it?
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this for you! Do you want to die or live?"

Wantong also knew that he was talking big, no matter what he didn't dare to put people to death.

Don't think it's okay for Zhu Yunxi to kill the eunuch, and there is no way to break it, but if he dares to take other people's lives without authorization, he will be burned!

Wantong also waved his hands in cooperation and said: "This is serious...give him a little lesson, let him know that the sky is high and the earth is thick...as long as you live..."

"Then this is easy to do!"

The reason why Li Hua dared to attack was because he was not afraid of the eunuchs in King Yan's clothes at all.

The prince didn't know how many years it would take to return to Beijing, and if he didn't bring his family, he would rarely let eunuchs accompany him.

Therefore, it may be many years since King Yan will return to Beijing next time. It is not certain whether he will bring eunuchs with him, and it is also hard to say whether he will bring Wantong's opponents with him.

But what if he came back?
Could he still find revenge on himself?

Although the status of the imperial prison is not high, it is also a department in the palace and handles affairs for the emperor.

So even if he is dissatisfied, he will only go to Li Hua to settle the score, and will not implicate himself.

"Premium brocade silk cloth, ten... solid..., storage!"

At this time, the young eunuch Ma He was holding two or three pieces of cloth and was about to enter the warehouse.

"what!……"

But suddenly a foot appeared under his leg, Ma He was caught off guard and quickly dodged, but then there was a plop!
A little eunuch didn't know whether he was stepped on or knocked down to the ground. The cloth he held in his arms also fell to the ground, and the skin also fell apart!
Li Hua stepped forward and scolded: "What are you doing! Hands and feet! How dare you overturn the tribute! You don't know how to live or die!"

The little eunuch who fell stood up quickly, pointed at Ma He and said, "It's not the little one, it's him, the bastard, who stepped on my foot and knocked me down! Please, please make the decision for the little one."

Just as Ma He was about to explain, Li Hua pointed at his nose and scolded: "Where did you come from, you don't have rules and discipline! You can't even walk well, so what's the use of you! You don't open your eyes!"

Then he said to the people next to him: "Whose one of you is he? Why haven't I seen it before? How many times have I told you that you can't let people do it casually when moving treasures, but you just don't listen!..."

"Now beat the feudal king's tribute, do you know what crime it is! Pull him down and beat him up thirty times! You beat whoever it is! I want to see who dares to hold back and cover up!"

The eunuch on the side reminded: "Master, he is not from us, he should belong to Prince Yan's residence..."

At this time Ma He had already picked up the cloth, holding his hands in his hands and putting them on his chest.

Li Hua frowned and asked, "Are you from Yan Palace?"

Ma He lowered his head and replied, "Yes..."

Wantong hurried over, saluted with a smile and said: "It's a sin, it's because our family is not strict in discipline, that's why there's a mistake, and please raise your hand..."

But Li Hua stared and said: "If you overturn the tribute, you will be severely punished according to the rules in the palace! Otherwise, you won't have a long memory! If you break your majesty's favorite thing, you will lose your head!"

Wantong said more and more respectfully: "Eunuch, what you said is that we dare not do it again, so please give him a high hand and spare him this time..."
