Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 338 Huangmen Commander Zheng Chun (Second Change)
At noon the next day, the weather was pleasant and the sun was bright. In the fairyland-like back garden of the royal palace, on an open-air lawn, there was a small round table with many exquisite snacks on it. At this moment, Yuan Xi was sitting with two beauties, Zhen Mi and Gu Yun, chatting.

"Forget about the harem, but large-scale selection is unnecessary. Although the palace is big, I'm not in the mood now." Yuan Xi said softly. Just last night, after Yuan Xi returned from the military command, he found that Chu Qiao was surprised. Appeared in the inner room where he handled government affairs. After chatting, the hot-blooded Yuan Xi naturally overthrew the beautiful woman. There is no need to mention the beauty overnight, and there was another woman in the harem again. But after hearing about Zhen Mi from Chu Qiao, they decided to After filling up the standard configuration of the king's harem, he still decided to say something. Now that the world is not yet unified, if he does so rashly, he will definitely leave a bad impression on the hearts of the common people and the gentry. In addition, the number of women in the harem is already out of reach. I can't handle it anymore, and many people probably won't see him for half a month.

"It's my concubine's fault, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Hearing this, Zhen Mi hurriedly prepared to stand up.

Yuan Xi pressed lightly, and said softly: "Mi'er's generosity makes Gu happy, Gu Jue doesn't mean to blame you, but let's put this matter on hold for now!"

"promise!"

"Yun'er, Gu has decided to transfer a member from the Hong family to walk in Shangshutai, who do you think is suitable?" Yuan Xi asked with a smile.

Hong Yun was startled, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, many of the elders and younger brothers of the concubines have been in office for less than two years, and their qualifications are not enough. Such a promotion will probably make the officials dissatisfied, and it will not make them feel pressured."

"Haha, only when you are under pressure can you be motivated! Your Hong family has a rigorous family style and outstanding talents. These years have helped you a lot. It is okay to be lonely. My father-in-law will arrive in a few days. You can chat Chat," Yuan Xi said gently.

Hong Yun smiled wryly, knowing that apart from their Hong family's own reasons, it was also because she offered Chu Qiao up. The reason is that as long as you work hard, you will be able to rise step by step. Although it is not as good as Zhen Mi's elder brother's governor, the status of a feudal official, but it is also very good, at least one step faster than other harem daughters. A place, in addition to talent, also depends on seniority, one step behind may be far behind.

"Thank you, my lord," Hong Yun stood up and said gratefully.

Yuan Xi nodded in satisfaction, and said: "I still have to see General Zhang Yun later, you go back and have a good rest, especially Mi Er, you are probably about to give birth, so you should pay more attention."

"No!" After the two stood up, they saluted and left together.

After a while, Yuan Xi glanced at the time, and when he was about to go to the inner hall, Liu Quan suddenly walked over with a servant with his head bowed.

"I pay homage to the king," Liu Quan saluted.

"You don't need to be too polite, why is our Chief Manager Liu here? Could it be that the House of Internal Affairs is too busy?" Yuan Xi asked with a smile.

Liu Quan made a bitter face instantly, and said: "Your Majesty, I still hope to follow you. There are too many things that need to be taken care of by the House of Internal Affairs, and the head of the minister will be blown up. If there are not a few capable officials who are familiar with the process, the minister will really do it." Not coming"

"If you can't do it, you have to do it. Apart from you, I don't trust anyone else," Yuan Xi said loudly.

Liu Quan's eyes suddenly showed emotion, and he saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "What's the matter looking for Gu today?"

"My lord, some time ago, didn't I ask you to add [-] new servants, and recruited [-] servants who had been working for five years, to find a chief servant for the king, who would be in charge of the servants and maidservants in the palace? "Liu Quan replied.

Yuan Xi reacted in an instant, and said, "I have been selected."

"Really" Liu Quan took a step back, pointed at the servant behind him who lowered his head, and said, "Your Majesty, that's him. His name is Zheng Chun. He has been in the General's Mansion for nearly six years now. His family background is clean and he is calm. Cleverness, but more importantly, his loyalty to the king. On that day, the selection minister specially asked Commander Zhang to be fully responsible for the military command. In the end, as long as he passed the test alone among the thirty people, none of the original chief servants could pass the test. Passed, to be honest, after reading the military reunification plan, I felt that I might not be able to choose, but he actually passed."

"Oh! How did you get selected?" Yuan Xi asked curiously.

"My lord, it's actually very simple. After they went out, they were suddenly robbed by a group of thieves, pretending to be Cao Jun. Then there were three days of threats, temptations, and beatings. When many people threatened, they immediately Betrayed the king, no matter how many people are tempted, he can't hold on when there is money in front of him. After the final beating, Zheng Chun is the only one who can still insist on not betraying the king. Even Commander Zhang is surprised. To be so loyal." Liu Quan looked at Zheng Chun and said appreciatively.

Yuan Xi's expression froze, and he took a closer look at Zheng Chun, who was bowing his head. After a golden light flashed in his eyes, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"You raised your head?" Yuan Xi said softly.

"No!" I saw Zheng Chun slowly raised his head, his round face was full of kindness and sincerity, and there was deep awe and gratitude in his eyes.

"Can you tell me why you are so loyal to Gu, because Gu is the king?" Yuan Xi asked, and Zheng Chun's loyalty was as high as 91%.

Hearing this, Zheng Chun immediately knelt down, kowtowed, tears welled up in his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, you may not remember that my family is poor and has been bullied so much that I have no choice but to become a general." I became a servant in the mansion. The servant who just came in is not only the most miserable and the most statusless, but also the hardest to do. Once a small bowl was accidentally broken, and he was beaten by the manager who was in a bad mood. It was the king. Passing through saved Xiao’s life, and he also said that he must see me next time. If there was any damage, he would definitely trouble the manager. In this way, Xiao passed through the most difficult period and became the envy of his friends. , that was the first time the little one felt what dignity is, so the little one would rather die than betray the king."

Yuan Xi's heart was shocked, and then he laughed for a while, looking at Liu Quandao: "It seems that there is no reason, the second Emperor Huan Ling favored the eunuch, it is not without reason, because although the eunuch is physically disabled, he remembers love, remembers kindness, and is lonely. I don't remember this incident at all, but he does keep it firmly in his heart, eunuchs are domestic slaves, eunuchs mess up the government, eunuchs mess up the dynasty, apart from the responsibility of the eunuchs, it is more likely to be the emperor's problem."

"Your Majesty is wise, eunuchs can only rely on the power of the king. If the emperor is displeased, they can be easily removed," Liu Quan agreed.

"Haha, Zheng Chun" Yuan Xi shouted.

"The little one is here" Zheng Chun immediately bowed down.

"Today I will confer on you the order of the Huangmen, with a rank of six hundred stones, in charge of all servants in the palace," Yuan Xi announced loudly.

Zheng Chun's heart trembled. Although he had never read a book, he also knew that Huang Menling was already the second rank of internal servant besides the eunuch's highest regular servant. He was already a real official, and he felt mixed feelings for a moment. , Tears could not stop streaming down.

"Zheng Menling, don't thank you yet," Liu Quan reminded.

Zheng Chun quickly raised his face full of tears, and kowtowed heavily: "I thank you, the king, Long En, and will swear allegiance to the death, to protect the order in the palace for the king, and to maintain the supremacy of the king."

"Okay, I can talk, haha" Yuan Xi laughed again.
