Chapter 474 (1/2)
In this quiet and empty corridor, a low and hoarse answer came: ”there were many hidden diseases in the early years of war. If you take good care of them, it would only be a year or two.”
”I advise your highness to wait for these years. After all, being able to get the personal guidance of his majesty is a process that must be experienced as a future monarch.”
Hearing the meaning of each other's words, Zhao Defang answered seriously: ”this is natural. Since my father's intention is me, there is no need to do more superfluous actions.”
”I'm still young. I'm not in a hurry. I also want to learn more and have a look.”
”What I want to achieve is... What my father has never achieved. I want to know if the black land of Liao shown to me by Gu Dapan is really so fertile.”
”I also want to know if Nanzhao Kingdom really has many strange products I haven't seen.”
”But I know better that these are based on the fact that China's Song Dynasty has invincible soldiers in the world and invincible against any country.”
”Therefore, I am willing to study and can afford to wait.”
Hearing Zhao Defang's words, the speaker who didn't see him in the corridor seemed to put down his mind, relaxed a little, and sincerely congratulated: ”I wish your highness everything you want, and hope your highness will make a prosperous country for me in the Song Dynasty!”
”Ha” on Zhao Defang's young face was the belief that even if there were thorns in front, he would turn over. He just waved his sleeve, carried his hands on his back, and used a decisive sentence as the final response: ”solitary!”
”I hope Wang Dapan can make an appraisal, and all people in this country can be the appraiser of this sentence!”
After that, Zhao Defang left the seemingly empty garden and ran to Yanhe palace, where he should go at this time.
When all this was calm, at the dark corner, Wang Jien, who was middle-aged but well maintained, came out from behind the column.
The eyes that have gone through vicissitudes of life are full of smiles.
”If nothing happens, you and my brothers in this palace can enjoy peace for decades.”
”This investment, I really did the right thing.”
With these words, Wang Jien turned his eyes to the distance of the palace wall, where there was the air symbolizing freedom and his missing for his brother: ”I don't know where Gu Zheng is now.”
”For so many years, I have come and gone in a hurry.”
”I won't understand my old brother's painstaking efforts. I don't know how difficult it is to fight for all these wings in the palace.”
”Oh, forget it.” Wang ji'en took back a little yearning from the bottom of his heart, threw his eyes into the bottomless palace again, and said with a smile: ”I am old and immortal, where can I tolerate a moment of weakness.”
”Besides, I've long been used to the intrigues in this deep palace. If I leave, it's really lonely, ha ha.”
These chuckles are not melancholy, but a self mockery of contentment.
The curtain came down with the man's turning over the hand and the rain.
The pages of xiaoqie book gradually fell down, and in the dark light, the curtain call calligraphy and painting belonging to the background wall flickered.
The painting of a big eunuch holding each other hostage outlined with a brush, coupled with the explanation of cursive script written in vertical edition, not to mention more style.
……
Gu Zheng
During the founding of the New Song Dynasty, he was the first Eunuch in the Imperial Academy.
Although he is an internal waiter, he has great talent.
The existing geographical textual research maps of the country of song, the territory Map of Xixia and Liao, and the distribution map of mineral resources in the central plains are all of great value in modern times.
He opened up a new path for eunuchs.
After Sima Qian, he walked out of a new direction for the way of internal service in the palace.
It is a sketch of characters with historical textual research value that has left a strong mark in history.
Many eunuchs with lofty aspirations inspired by Gu Zheng regard Gu Zheng's experience as their creed for survival.
The waiter, who had to enter the palace because of his poor family when he was a child, did not put down his idea of serious life and fighting for his beloved country and family because of his physical lack.
On the contrary, he can concentrate on nothing and work hard for the goal he has found all his life.
This has become the beacon of countless eunuchs with the same background and experience, and has become the spiritual sustenance of latecomers.
Therefore, historians pointed out in their later character analysis that there was a certain basis for eunuchs, internal attendants and eunuchs of the later dynasties to worship Gu Zheng's portrait as their ancestors.
They were like carpenters worshipping Luban and doctors worshipping Sun Simiao. In their 72 professions, they found another way to create a eunuch's grandfather.
Let a eunuch become a person who has spread through the ages and influenced the whole Chinese history.
What makes him make a choice different from others, and what makes an unknown person create a great career that civil service groups with higher education can't do?
All these are worthy of today's people to seek answers, study and discover in the long river of history.
Isn't this the charm of history?
