Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Seeing that Eunuch Xu Can grabbed the draft of "A Dream of Red Mansions" as soon as he stretched out his hand, Su Mu suddenly felt something was wrong.

He said in a deep voice, "What are you doing? Return the manuscript to me."

At this moment, Su Mu could see Xu Can's appearance clearly.

This man was between thirty and forty, and the eunuch's yin and yang were inconsistent. His physiology was different from that of ordinary people, and he was not sure of his exact age.

This Eunuch Xu has a white face and no beard, and his facial features are very delicate, with willow leaf eyebrows and red phoenix eyes. If he puts on women's clothes, he will look like a beautiful woman.

Su Mu's heart trembled: "You're too motherly, you are really too motherly!"

Zhu Houzhao saw that Su Mu's face darkened, and said with a smile: "So it's Mr. Xu, but I don't know what you are doing here. I borrowed this manuscript from Su Mu, please return it to me."

"Returning to the prince, Long Live has an order for the prince, saying that the palace on the other side of Yingtai has been prepared, and he is told to move there from today." Xu Can ignored Su Mu, bowed his hands to the prince, and smiled like a flower. : "My lord, my servants are fond of reading, and they don't choose anything. As long as there are words on it, they want to take a look at them. This palace is really boring, and the rules are so strict. Except for Jing Shi Ziyi, I can't find one. This is an idle book. I have read all the outsiders, and recently the capital banned novels, so I haven’t read a new book for a long time. I got this opportunity today, but I don’t want to let it go.”

Although he was talking to Zhu Houzhao, the corner of his eye fell on Su Mu: he is indeed a man of talent, this man has been famous in Beijing for the past few days, and his talent and learning are outstanding.If she hugs the thick thigh of the prince again, her future will be limitless.Originally, the civil servants and our servants are not offending each other, but you, Su Mu, hooked up with Liu Jin and others. A few days ago, I heard people say that you got gold from Eunuch Liu.Hmph, if that Liu Jin gains power in the future, I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to communicate internally and externally.

Liu Jin is a rascal at first, and it is nothing to worry about if he forgets his righteousness when he sees small profits. If we want to deal with him, I, Xu Can, have plenty of opportunities.

However, you, Su Ziqiao, are very talented, if you give Liu Jinren an idea in the future, it will be troublesome.

The so-called one king and one courtier, when you newcomers gain power in the future, will there be a way for me, an old man, to survive?

Well, today is a good opportunity, Su Mu, I'm sorry.

……

The imperial palace has always been the most complicated and richest place in the world.

Xu Can grew up in the imperial palace since he was a child, and has already become proficient in this method.Otherwise, he would not have grown from a small student in the inner school to the second in command of the Dongchang Factory and the Supervisor of Rituals in more than ten years.

In his view, the so-called means are nothing more than a passive response, which is ultimately inferior.It is great wisdom to plan ahead and cut off all challengers quietly.

Over the years, whenever there were eunuchs with outstanding intelligence in the palace, they were all killed in the bud by him quietly.

The so-called talent, the right time, the right place, the right people, and a suitable stage can have a chance to be on the top.If you are not given the chance to perform in the first place, even if you are Zhibi Ryohei, you can only do nothing.

In this way, because there was no challenger, Xu Can's official career in the palace went smoothly.And because he was a low-key person, when he was temporarily in the Ritual Supervisor, the others were still a little confused: Who is this Xu, and what terrible things did he do?

A good fighter has no great achievements.

To be honest, as the personal eunuch of Emperor Hongzhi, no one knew better than Xu Can what was going on with the emperor's body. It was a terminal illness that even gods could not save.

Maybe it's hard to say that the emperor can survive this winter.

At this time, Xu Can was stunned to realize that he had miscalculated one step ----- he had not established a special relationship with the prince, and the eunuchs were all slaves of the emperor, and life and death, honor and disgrace are all in the king's liking above.When the emperor says hello, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth.If he hates you, even if you are the chief inspector of ceremonies, if you say you take it, you will take it.

At the beginning, because the crown prince was still young, and because he was so stubborn, Xu Can couldn't get on the line with him, thinking that it would not be too late to wait for the prince to mature.

But the emperor's illness made him feel the urgency of time.This is also the reason why he wanted to punish Liu Jin in the first place, and it was also convenient for him to put his own people beside the prince.

Now, thinking about it, Liu Jin is already alert. Once the emperor takes off, this Liu Jin will ascend to heaven with the new emperor, and Su Mu, a strong supporter, will give him advice. I'm afraid that I, Xu Can, will be in big trouble.

A hairless peacock is not as good as a chicken. Eunuch Xu has punished many people over the years. If he really loses power, it will be a miserable situation...

Xu Can shuddered when he thought of this terrible prospect.

I thought to myself: The prince is young, so it is not difficult to coax.However, the people around him had to be replaced first.

……

But the prince didn't know that Xu Can had a vicious thought in an instant, and he couldn't help shaking his head: "No, no, this manuscript was just written by Su Mu for fun, and it hasn't been finished yet. Let's talk about it when it becomes a book in the future."

Probably because of a bad premonition, Su Mu felt that Xu Can was not a good person.The last time the factory guards fought fiercely, he was in the middle of planning, and he was already an enemy and not a friend with Eunuch Xu. Maybe this person had already found out his details.He snatched the manuscript as soon as he entered the door, will anything good happen?

Su Mu cupped his hands slightly: "Eunuch Xu, please return the manuscript?"

"Oh, I gave it back to you, but there is no such reason?" Xu Can turned his head as if he had just discovered Su Mu, and put on a gentle smile: "Su Mu, your words are wrong, you borrowed this manuscript. Even if I want to pay back what was given to the crown prince, I should pay it back to the prince first, do you think it makes sense?"

Su Mu was speechless.

The prince let out a sigh: "That's the truth, Eunuch Xu, return the manuscript to me quickly."

Xu Can: "Chu Jun, although it is a manuscript, Su Ziqiao is very famous and is also known as a master of poetry. His works are naturally beautiful, but..."

"But what?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Xu Can's eyes: "However, Su Ziqiao moved the capital with his poems. Whenever he is mentioned, people will always think of the phrase 'the green hills are still there, and the sunset is red for a few times'. However, the poems are well written. Yes, novels don’t necessarily have to be good-looking. For novels and novels, you don’t have to be able to touch people’s hearts with beautiful and fluent writing, you have to be able to make up stories. The prince refused to borrow manuscripts, but he felt that Su Mu’s writing was not good-looking. Hehe, yes, Su Ziqiao's reputation is flourishing, if he exposes his shortcomings in the novel, it will damage his reputation if he opposes it."

As he said that, he pretended to be strong and wanted to dig out the manuscript hidden in his arms.

Seeing that he wanted to return the manuscript, Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to pick it up.

But Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand to hold him down, and shouted: "Ziqiao's story is naturally beautiful, Mr. Xu, don't look down on him. Although I don't like his story very much, I can read it after reading it. The people in the book It’s like coming back to life. I’ve also read a few story books, but I’ve never seen someone who writes stories like him. Eunuch Xu, don’t underestimate people, you really have to read this book. I haven’t read it, What are you talking about. Trust me, this book is the most suitable for you to read, hehe..."

In the eyes of the crown prince, Su Mu is like a god. Xu Can even suspects that his books are not good-looking, which is tolerable and unbearable.

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao's face turned red with anger.

"Okay, I would like to follow the prince's instructions." Xu Can took the opportunity to put the manuscript back into his arms: "Since the prince has orders, slaves should read carefully and carefully."

After speaking, he bent down and slowly backed out.

Su Mu: "Here, hey, my manuscript..."

But Eunuch Xu has already disappeared.

Su Mu was in a daze, always feeling that something was wrong with this matter.

The prince was still beside him and shouted angrily: "Xu Can, don't look down on people. This time, I want you to see how Ziqiao's writing is. I want you to know that in comparison, the novels written outside are rubbish."

On the main seat, Wang Ao was still panting angrily: "Class is over, class is over!"

Su Mu and Zhu Houzhao stopped chatting and continued to listen to the class.

Tangtang University Wenjia's class was so boring that he almost fell asleep listening to Su Mu.However, a person's lecture has a personal style.Wang Ao is really not a good teacher, but the prince's other masters should not be like this, otherwise, wouldn't that be a mistake?

The masters can't afford to delay the prince's studies.

The prince's teachers are generally served by cabinet ministers and imperial court attendant bachelors.

Su Mu was yearning for it.

After listening to the class for about an hour, Master Wang's drowsy explanation finally ended. He packed up his books and walked away with his hands full.

Zhu Houzhao cheered: "The get out of class is over, Ziqiao, let's go back and move things... No, let's play a game of wargame first and have fun."

Su Mu: "Although I invented this chess game, I am not good at it."

"Whatever he does, as long as someone is with me, anyway, in this world, when it comes to the art of war, no one can beat me." Zhu Houzhao was a little arrogant and self-satisfied.

At this moment, a eunuch full of frost ran over quickly: "Prince."

"Unlucky, my father must have told me to go over there!" Zhu Houzhao said with a look of bad luck, "This time we can't play anymore."

The eunuch bowed to the prince: "Your Highness, Lord Long Live has sent Su Mu to see you."

"It's called Su Mu, isn't it me?" Zhu Houzhao was surprised.

"That's right." The eunuch bowed again, and then whispered: "Prince, Lord Long Live's complexion is very ugly, and he just dropped something in the hall. Mr. Su has to be more careful in this audience."

This eunuch is not from Xu Can, and he intends to please the prince and Su Mu, the prince's future upstart.

"Ah, I dropped something, why? I'm going too!"

Su Mu's heart sank, and he vaguely felt that the emperor's anger must have something to do with Xu Can just now.Besides, his status is humble, so he is not qualified to face the saint at all.
