The days when I was working in the West Factory

Chapter 42 Wei Zhongxian

Led by four inner palace guards, Zhao Yu came to the east side of Chengtian Gate.

When it was about a hundred steps away from Wei Zhongxian's mansion, Zhao Yu found that there was no one around except for the guards who occasionally patrolled by.

When he walked to the gate of Qiansui Mansion seriously, even Zhao Yu, who claimed to have seen a lot of world, couldn't help but be taken aback by this old eunuch's presence.

The vermilion lacquer gate is embedded with fist-sized gold-plated brass nails!
On both sides of the mansion, there is a white jade lion with the same height as two people.

What surprised Zhao Yu even more was that there were eight and a half steps down from the main entrance of the mansion!

You know, according to the Daqian ancestral system, the mansion of a first-rank official can only have at most seven steps of bluestone steps, even if it is a clan vassal king, it can only have at most eight steps!
And the steps at the door of the old eunuch's house in front of him are only half a step lower than the emperor's Fengtian Hall!

Just this point, it can no longer be described as monstrous authority...

This old eunuch without a chicken, what a god! !
When they came outside the mansion, the man in black who led the way in front of Zhao Yu stepped forward quickly, took out a token and threw it to the gate guard.

"According to the Chitose Order, bring this person into the mansion!"

The man in black pointed to Zhao Yu who was standing under the steps and said.

The guard at the door took the token, and instead of letting Zhao Yu and the others in, he waved to Zhao Yu who was standing at the bottom of the steps.

It is said that the third-rank official of the prime minister's concierge, when he arrived at the Qiansui Mansion, the guards who guarded the gate dared to be so contemptuous of a thousand households in the main hall of Jinyiwei.

Zhao Yu, who experienced a lot of beatings by the society in his previous life, is not a second-rate guy with a brain.

He knew that this was not the place to display the official records of thousands of households, although he was dissatisfied with the gesture of the guard on duty as if calling for a dog, he could only suppress his anger.

"You are Zhao Yu, a thousand households in the Jinyiwei Supervisor Sizhengtang?"

The gate guard stared at Zhao Yu with his nostrils upturned, and asked in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

Zhao Yu nodded, looked at the guard carefully, and remembered the voice and appearance of the person in front of him.

He, Zhao Yu, was born in the market, so he is not a magnanimous person at all...

"Check the waist card!" The gate guard stretched out his hand in front of Zhao Yu and said impatiently.

Without saying a word, Zhao Yu took off the Thousand Household Token from his waist and handed it to the door guard.

After looking at the badge, the guy casually threw it to Zhao Yu, then turned around and waved his hand.

On the side of the vermilion lacquered gate, a side door slowly opened.

The inner palace guard led Zhao Yu into the mansion through the side door.

As for the main entrance, the entire Dagan Dynasty, and only when the emperor came here, was qualified to let the old eunuch open the middle gate!

After entering the mansion, Zhao Yu really knew what extravagance is!
Behind the vermilion lacquer gate is a huge suet white jade veneer screen wall, on which the three friends of Suihan and Suihan are embossed along the white jade flesh patterns with superb techniques by skilled craftsmen.

Further back, the corridors on both sides of the courtyard are all made of nanmu, and you can smell the fragrance while walking.

On the floating window pane walls, there are emerald jade inlays of different sizes, which outline a series of allusive murals of saints studying abroad.

In the center of the atrium compound, there are six Taiping jars lined up.

The four rings of these six Taiping jars are slightly exposed and their heads are raised. The seal carvings are divine beasts guarding the four directions, and there are feet at the bottom, all of which are dragon claws!

Especially in the peace tank, the koi that occasionally surfaced are from Jinmen's Zhuding Ziluopao, a thousand gold! !

After returning from Longmen, Zhao Yu felt that although he was not considered wealthy, he was at least a rich man, right?
Shit! !
Taking a look at the layout and decoration of the mansion in front of him, Zhao Yu finally had a new understanding of wealth.

Passing through the corridor, at the porch of the inner court, the guards in black turned and left, and a young eunuch who followed him led Zhao Yu into the inner court.

With nine bends and eighteen bends, Zhao Yu followed behind the little eunuch, and was almost confused when he wandered around, then he saw the rightful master in a courtyard!
No wonder no one came to assassinate this old eunuch...

Aside from the number of dead guards around Wei Zhongxian, the complex layout of the mansion alone is not easy for ordinary people to understand.

If you run into a hero with less patience, even if you sneak into the mansion, before you find Wei Zhongxian, you will probably jump around and scold your mother!

"Qianhu Zhao Yu, Supervisor of Jinyiwei, see Qiantui!"

At the railing of the small lake in the courtyard, there is an old man with white hair, holding a green bamboo pole, fishing leisurely.

This old man who seemed to be buried up to his neck was the eunuch in the hands of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, nine thousand years old... Wei Zhongxian!

"The old man is old and dizzy, he is inconvenient and unable to meet in person, Zhao Qianhu forgive me."

The old man handed the bamboo pole in his hand to a woman in white robe and sword beside him, and said to Zhao Yu who was kneeling on one knee with a smile.

"The subordinates are terrified!"

Zhao Yu knelt on the ground with one knee, lowered his head and said.

Facing the Commander of the Jinyiwei, Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, could deal with the calm Zhao Yu, but at this moment, dense cold sweat oozes from his forehead.

In the past, Zhao Yu never believed in the so-called coercion and momentum.

But when he really faced this old man with a kind smile and power over the world for decades, he found that even his breathing became viscous.

"Zhao Qianhu doesn't need to be too polite. It's the old man who took the liberty to invite you to the mansion. You are a guest. How can there be any reason to ask guests to kneel down?"

Unlike the domineering and domineering figures Zhao Yu had seen, this old man seemed very approachable when he spoke.

But for some reason, Zhao Yu's heart skipped a beat.

After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, a personal eunuch had already stepped forward and brought an embroidered pier for Zhao Yu.

"My subordinates dare not!"

Although Zhao Yu got up, he didn't even dare to take a look at the embroidered pier in front of his eyes.

"Zhao Qianhu is really young and promising. An Jianqing was also blind. You were assigned to Xichang back then, but fortunately, you are now serving as the Jinyi Guard and serving as supervisor Qianhu."

Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhao Yu and said with a smile.

"Zhao Yu's virtue and ability all depend on the superior's promotion."

Zhao Yu, who never knew what humility is, just for a moment, said all the soft things that he could say in his life.

Wei Zhongxian smiled, then raised his hand.

The woman with the sword beside her took out a copy from her bosom and handed it to Zhao Yu.

"This is An Jianqing's memorial to the emperor, recommending you to be the envoy of Jinyiwei Beisi..."

Seeing Zhao Yu take the booklet, Wei Zhongxian stared at Zhao Yu without any trace, and said softly.

"Commander An makes the wrong love, and his subordinates may not be able to do it if they are dull..."

Zhao Yu took the folder without even looking at it, just cupped it with both hands, and said loudly.

Before Zhao Yu finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian waved his hand directly, and said with a smile: "The cabinet has already been approved, and the supervisor of ceremonies has also approved the red seal, so you don't have to humbly refuse!"

"Thank you, Lord Qiantui, for your support!" Zhao Yu knelt down on one knee again.

What the hell... Bolingue almost fell to his knees!
The ghost knows how Zhao Yu, who has been promoted again at this moment, feels in his heart!

"I've said it all, you are a guest when you come to the mansion, there is no reason for a guest to kneel and kneel, get up... Zhao Zhenfu!"

Wei Zhongxian raised his hand and glanced at the lake corridor.

Not long after, Zhao Jingzhong, who was expressionless, and Cao Zhengchun, who was full of smiles, came to Wei Zhongxian's side and stood with their hands down.

"Responsible Envoy Zhao Zhen, after you return to the yamen, you will count the list of thousands of households under your command and hundreds of households under your command, and hand it over to this servant."

Wei Zhongxian pointed to Zhao Jingzhong and said to Zhao Yu with a smile.

"As ordered!"

Zhao Jingzhong, who was called a slave, didn't show any displeasure on his face, and just bowed in response.

Zhao Yu lowered his head, his thoughts turned sharply.

The benefits that should be given have been given enough, so next...

It's time to sharpen your sword! !
