The Donghua Gate was already under the control of the New Imperial Army, so this was entirely Zai Chun's territory. It would be extremely convenient for him to pass information to the people outside the palace!
Even a bloody head could be sent in easily, let alone a delivery letter!
”Hiss …” My God … Could this be the Blood Drop Hidden Weapon that was ordered by the Qiandong to be abolished? It's like, it's really like that! ”
In the duty room, Da Sixi and the others were working on the archaeology work around the leather bag, where a bloody head was sitting on the table.
”It says so. This person is Wang Zhong, from the Forbidden City. He was assigned to Prince Gong's Mansion which was just bestowed the title of Emperor by the Ministry of Internal Affairs thirty years ago!”
”At present, there should still be some old eunuchs in the Forbidden City! Go... Bring the old eunuch from the Ying Hua Palace over. He's old enough, so we might be able to get to know him! ”
The old eunuchs of the Forbidden City didn't have many ways out, the imperial family wouldn't raise them to their deaths. Once the eunuchs couldn't work anymore, they would be given a severance fee, allowing them to leave the palace to seek a way to survive!
It sounded really sad. It was so ugly to unload and kill a donkey. It was precisely because of the lack of security in his later years that eunuchs were all greedy for money!
Their purpose for being greedy for money was to retire, their hometown and their family. They would use money to buy a nephew as an adopted son, and build a house to retire so that others could send them to their deaths!
And if the family could not return to the eunuchs, they would donate the incense to the temple when they could make money. There were many temples in the outer city that accepted the incense money from these eunuchs.
In the future, if the eunuchs were blasted out of the Forbidden City, they could spend their last years in the Taoist temple!
Without exception, when eunuchs were on the verge of being sent out of the palace, their duties would be adjusted, and they would generally guard the palace and sweep the houses.
Many of the palaces in the Forbidden City weren't open for work every day, and many of them were specially used for ceremonial ceremonies and sacrificial ceremonies. They were only open once or twice a year.
For a place like this, it was still very suitable to have the old eunuch take care of him!
This Ying Hua Palace was originally a place for the empress dowager and imperial concubines to pay their respects to Buddha, but there were a lot of buddhist halls in the Forbidden City. Ci Xi had special small buddhist shrines in his palaces.
The Hall of Excellence was only opened once every 15 years. The rest of the time was locked up. The old eunuch could be considered as isolated from the world!
He had never imagined that he would be pulled out of bed by a group of eunuchs at 11 o'clock in the morning. He had thought that he would be expelled from the palace, so he cried out in despair along the way.
”Wuwuwu …” Old and young men … Since we have been friends for so many years, can you coax me away at daybreak? ”Let this old one pack up some things as well …”
”Wuwuwu …” ”I've saved up some money for my old age and buried it in the garden. Just let me take it away, otherwise I'll starve to death when I leave the palace …”
”Your Majesty …” Empress Dowager … ”I beg you, have mercy on this old dog. You sent me away with a servant so that I can bring some copper coins to eat …”
”Don't cry, be careful not to offend the emperor, you old thing …” I am not chasing you out of the palace.
Xiao Sixi glared at him and scolded him. The old eunuch immediately broke into tears. ”He really didn't chase me away …”
The bodyguards and eunuchs supported the old eunuch whose legs were weak all the way from Ying Hua Hall to Donghua Gate. The moment the door was pushed open, the old eunuch rubbed her eyes and looked over by the light.
”Ouch …” Isn't this Wang Zhong? Wasn't he out of the palace? ”Why did he die in the palace …”
