C1126 The empire is old (2/2)
What kind of person was Li Lianying, if she had a tail, it would be a monkey! He knew that Weng Tonghe was definitely hiding something, but he also knew that there was no enmity between him and Weng Tonghe, and there were even many times when they were helping each other, so he wasn't overly suspicious.
”Ai …” ”Your excellency, you are a student of the Book of Virtue and normally do not pay attention to these things. However, which one of the servants in the palace has ever heard of such a story?”
”Do you know? The path in the middle of the West Six Palaces. ”Sometimes, when lightning strikes and thunder strikes hit the sky, people would see eunuchs and maids wearing the uniform of the imperial court queuing up and smiling at you …”
”Also, every time it's the fifteenth day of the first term, you must not go according to the flow of water in the well …” ”Sometimes, when you're clearly a dried up well, a puddle of water appears out of nowhere, and those reflections on the surface of the water are not your shadows …”
”Don't mention it, there are too many of these things in the palace …” ”I heard the older generation murmuring, in the Ming Dynasty, there were two carriages of corpses that were pulled out from the harem every day. At that time, the lords of the palace would beat and scold their servants, and even the slightest mistake would lead to their deaths!”
”Our nation's dynasty is still considered better, but we have big businesses. Just the palace maids and eunuchs in the Forbidden City alone number twenty thousand, with so many people living together, what's wrong with no rules? Therefore, it's not strange for a few disobedient people to make mistakes! ”
Listening to Li Lianying's nagging, Weng Tonghe's head started to feel dizzy. In the end, even he did not know how she walked out of Yangxin Palace.
”A dynasty!” ”If you can't even suppress a little imp, then there's really no need for anything …”
As the sun set in the west, the old man's figure became long and lonely … The Zhang Jing who was on duty in the Military Intelligence Service was currently surrounding Yang Zhi to make fun of him, while arguing with him, asking him to treat everyone to drinks.
Yang Zhi gradually blended into the imperial palace, he and the Zhang Jing who was called Li Tuo were having an intense discussion, and the two of them agreed to meet after a while to have a drink. Li Tuo was extremely clear about the imperial court's rules, and that was what Yang Zhi needed, as a rookie, as well as what Li Tuo, as Zhang Jing, needed to borrow.
Both sides took what they needed, and everyone was happy.
There were a few eunuchs gathered at the entrance of the tea house to the right of the back door counting the accounts. Looking at their vulgar smiles, Weng Tonghe understood that there were countless treasures that had been secretly sold out in the storehouse.
At the east end of the Taihe Palace Plaza, the three to four government officials whose faces could not be seen were whispering as they walked towards the south. Perhaps in the midst of these words, a few more government officials from the Department of Revenue were being sold, and the Liu-Li Factory's treasures were being replaced by new owners.
They were all so illusory, so unrealistic. In Weng Tonghe's eyes, the guards who were standing straight suddenly became evil.
Who knew what these guards, who looked loyal and righteous on the surface, were thinking at this moment? Who can guarantee that their hearts are loyal to this court?
The afternoon gate was already behind the old man, and the butler in front of the sedan opened the cotton curtain. The old man did not directly enter, but turned his head to look at the towering Five Phoenix Restaurant, sighing in his heart.
”I'm really old!” This empire is really getting old! ”
