Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 81 The Prince Shows His Power
Zhu Houzhao rolled up his sleeves and returned to the East Palace.

He was really furious today. He was usually stubborn and wanted to save face, especially in front of Chen Ce, always bragging about how awesome and powerful he was.

Today is a shame and a big loss.

In the end, it was Wang Yue who solved the problem? Then what was I?
That damn eunuch said he wanted to take me to meet his ancestor, the inner palace eunuch Li Guang, right?
I don't need you to take me, I'll go by myself!

After returning to the East Palace, Zhu Houzhao called Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and other burly eunuchs and said angrily: "Whoever I tell you to beat, beat him to death!"

Liu Jin reminded cautiously: "Master, Li Guang is your Majesty's confidant."

Zhu Houzhao angrily said: "Your Majesty still owes me a favor! I lent him my magnifying glass!"

"What's wrong, confidant? Stop talking nonsense and follow me!"

……

On the Wansui Mountain, Li Guang, the eunuch in charge of the inner palace who was as fat as Maitreya Buddha, still had the same iconic Maitreya Buddha smile on his face as always.

He was surrounded by several fawning eunuchs.

Repairing Wansui Mountain is a good job, and you can make a lot of money.

Li Guang actually knew a secret about Emperor Hongzhi, but he never told it to anyone.

Emperor Hongzhi believed in Taoism without a doubt.

Therefore, Li Guang started to study Taoist classics at a very early age, and now he is very proficient in Feng Shui and divination.

Hey, do you really think it's easy to be a eunuch? If you don't have the ability to please the emperor, how can you really reach your current position?
Our family isn’t easy either, okay?
After studying so many Taoist texts and finally becoming the highest-ranking eunuch in the inner palace, how can I justify all my hard work if I don't make some money?
No wonder those civil servants in the Ming Dynasty who passed the imperial examinations and became officials would try every possible way to make money.

Li Guang began to understand them a little.

Just as Li Guang was looking at the scenery of Wansui Mountain with emotion, a young eunuch walked over from across the crowd and said with a sad face, "Grandfather, the ten acres of land you liked yesterday have not been taken back."

Li Guang's iconic Maitreya Buddha-like smile froze.

If someone blocks his way to wealth, he will kill that person!
Don't be fooled by his usual smiling face; the best description of him is "smiling tiger".

Yesterday he went out of the palace in person to purchase rocks and timber for Wansui Mountain. When he passed by Kuihua Township, he saw the ten acres of fertile land with good feng shui, so he planned to buy it and build a private house for himself in the future.

Now the other party doesn’t want to sell it?

Li Guang said sinisterly: "You didn't tell him that our family bought it?"

"What? But which civil servant's family?"

Do these bunch of crappy civil servants really think that we can't deal with you just because we don't covet power?
We don't want to argue with you. Let's go our separate ways. But don't think that we are so easy to bully.

How did the Bingke Jieshizhong die last time? Wasn't it because he blocked his way to make money in Shuntianfu's gambling house, and was finally reported to death by Shuntianfu Cheng Lin Qi?
For Li Guang, everything can be negotiated as long as you don't touch his money.

If you touch his wealth, I’m sorry, even the Three Pure Ones can’t protect it!

Li Guang snorted and said indifferently: "I don't care who the other party is. Today I will make him wish he were dead or alive. I will chop off his head..."

Before he could finish his words, the young eunuch hurriedly stopped Li Guang from continuing.

Please don't say any more, otherwise I might be the one who dies in the end.

The young eunuch said hurriedly: "It's Wang Yue."

"The other party is General Wang's friend. General Wang asked me to bring you a message."

Li Guang choked.

Wang Yue...

Wang Yue is a good comrade. He is nice to our family and always thinks of our family when there are benefits.

He has a good relationship with Wang Yue, and Wang Yue has always maintained a good relationship with the eunuchs in the inner palace.

but!
Even if he is Wang Yue, it won't work! Our family won't give him this face!

Li Guang angrily said, "What's wrong with Wang Yue? Can Wang Yue stop us? Is this the land we want? This is the land the emperor wants!"

"If those ten acres of good land were incorporated into the imperial estate, how much money would be brought into the treasury every month?" "The treasury is so short of money now, and we are worried about the emperor's wealth. We want this piece of land! We say so!"

"Go collect the land!"

Standing behind Li Guang was Emperor Hongzhi. As long as he didn't cause any trouble to the civil servants, who would he be afraid of?

As long as he can make money for the emperor's treasury, who is he afraid of?

What happened to Wang Yue? Even if the King of Yue comes, it won’t work!
"Go!"

The young eunuch hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Watching the young eunuch's back as he left, several eunuchs around Li Guang hurried over to flatter him, saying, "Old Ancestor, you are so impressive."

"Nonsense, is there any need to say this? Otherwise, can you be our ancestor?"

"Our ancestors were not afraid of anyone, were unparalleled in righteousness and bravery, stood tall and upright, and were loyal to their country!"

"Wang Yue is nothing! Isn't he just following our ancestors to beg for food?"

Listening to the flattery of several eunuchs, Li Guang regained his Maitreya Buddha-like smile, calmly pressed his hands, reached out to take a cup of tea, and said earnestly: "You can't say that, be careful what you say and do."

"We also have people we fear. Remember, as long as we don't offend the civil officials or the emperor, we can walk freely in the Ming Dynasty!"

"No one dares to show his teeth to our family."

"It's a pity that Wang Yue is not a member of the civil service group."

Li Guang looked up at the sky and said with emotion: "Remember this principle, no one can do anything to you, understand?"

"I'm not bragging to you, but our style of doing things will ensure we live in peace and security our whole lives, haha."

……

The young eunuch in the inner palace received Li Guang's order, which was as impressive as an imperial edict, and was now hurriedly preparing to go to the East Factory to look for someone.

Just as he walked into the long alleys within the red walls of the palace, he was stopped by several eunuchs.

Liu Jin and Gu Dayong blocked him, but the eunuch in the inner palace was not afraid at all and said calmly: "Do you know who I am? Get out of here! Don't block the road."

boom!
Liu Jin punched him, but Gu Dayong was even taller and more powerful, and he punched the young eunuch desperately with his fists like a storm.

"Nonsense! Stop it! Do you know who our family is?"

"Okay! I admit that my voice was a little loud just now. I apologize."

"My lord, I kneel down before you. Please stop beating me. What on earth is going on?"

The young eunuch knelt down and begged for mercy, and then he heard a familiar voice.

"Didn't you say that I have no face?"

The young eunuch looked up at Zhu Houzhao and felt that he looked so familiar, as if they had just met before.

"Aren't you going to be arrested by me and sent to the East Factory Prison?"

"I'm standing right here! Catch me!"

Hearing Zhu Houzhao calling him "this palace" all the time, the young eunuch suddenly understood. He was horrified and his eyes widened in fear: "Madam, Madam, Your Highness, your servant, your servant..."

"Take me to find Li Guang!"

Zhu Houzhao said loudly.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes."

When Li Guang saw the young eunuch who was beaten beyond recognition coming back, he was stunned while bragging to his subordinate eunuch. He immediately roared angrily: "Which bastard dared to hit one of our people? Is this a rebellion against heaven?!"
