False eunuch in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 4

The young man looked at Cao Qing with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"I see, you must be someone close to the emperor. Otherwise, why are the clothes you are wearing different from mine? I'm scared to death, the emperor won't come over, right?" Cao Qing patted her chest.

"Oh, yes. I am the person who is close to the emperor. The clothes of the people who are close to the emperor must be special. Hehe." Seeing Cao Qing say this, Zhu Youjian also found it interesting.I thought to myself that this is Cao Qing's first visit to the palace, and he doesn't know the rules of the palace.But this is more interesting, so he didn't say anything.

Cao Qing naturally knew that this person was Zhu Youjian, the emperor of the late Ming Dynasty, but if Zhu Youjian's identity was identified at this time, he would not know how to write the next script.If it doesn't work out, there will be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and it will be clicked directly.Therefore, Zhu Youjian's identity can never be revealed.

"When did you enter the palace?" Cao Qing asked intentionally.

"I've been here for many years, and I can't remember what it looked like outside." Zhu Youjian said.

"There's nothing to see outside. It's dirty and smelly everywhere. It's just that there are a lot of delicious ones. As for the dim sum on the street, there must be more styles and tastes than those in the palace. And the craftsmanship in some old shops is also very good." The most important thing is that they have changed a lot." Cao Qing also judged that Zhu Youjian must seldom go out of the palace, and he didn't know much about the outside situation, so he made it up casually.

Sure enough, Zhu Youjian didn't hear it, "You and I, oh, tell me, what's going on outside?"

How could Cao Qing know?But it doesn't matter, I don't know how many historical dramas I have watched, and I have watched a lot of TV in the Ming Dynasty. It is still very easy to fool Zhu Youjian who rarely goes out.

The more the two talked, the more speculative they became. Before they knew it, several hours had passed, and the sky had already darkened.

"No, I have to go. Otherwise, Eunuch Cao will be in trouble if he can't find me." Cao Qing said.

"Then will you come tomorrow? I'll leave you some delicious snacks here." Zhu Youjian said.

"That's not certain. Eunuch Cao asked me to come, so I will come, but if he doesn't let me come, I can't come either." Cao Qing said.

Zhu Youjian was very disappointed when he heard this, "Is that so? By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Cao Qing. What about you?"

"My name is Zhu Xin."

When Cao Qing walked out of the imperial study, Cao Huachun was already looking around anxiously.If ordinary little eunuchs got lost, Cao Huachun wouldn't care.But he regarded Cao Qing as his own son.And it's his second brother's son.

"You child, I asked you to wait for me here, why are you disobedient and walking around?" Cao Huachun gave Cao Qing a hard look.

"Father, I waited here for a long time, and then I was really hungry, so I went to the next house to find something to eat. I met a eunuch in yellow clothes there, and I chatted enthusiastically with him. I forgot the time, I won't be so reckless in the future." Cao Qing said.

"The little eunuch in yellow? How old is he? What does the yellow dress look like?" Cao Huachun asked.

"It's not much different from my age, and the clothes are embroidered with gold trim, which looks good. He said that he is the eunuch next to the emperor. I met him in the imperial study just now. There are many books in the imperial study, and there are also a lot of food. The taste is really delicious." Good. It’s even better than New Year’s rice cakes,” Cao Qing said.

"Did he ask you anything?" Cao Huachun asked.

Cao Qing didn't lie either, and directly told Cao Qing some of what the two said, but he didn't tell the truth that he already knew that that was Emperor Zhu Youjian.

"He also said that if I go there tomorrow, I will go there to find him." Cao Qing said.

Cao Huachun glanced at Cao Qing, but Cao Qing seemed to be in a daze. Cao Huachun couldn't find anything from Cao Qing's performance.

Cao Qingliang and Cao Huachun couldn't understand that he was time-traveling, so he didn't care about showing some small flaws.The basic meaning of Cao Qing's words just now was to imply that Cao Huachun and Cao Qing wanted to go to the palace to meet Emperor Zhu Youjian.Cao Qing really wanted to go. Now that he has traveled to this era, building a good relationship with the most powerful person in this era means that the future will be more nourishing.Otherwise, when the tartars come in the future, unless Cao Qing really wants to be a eunuch, otherwise, his life will be in danger.

In history, Cao Huachun escaped a catastrophe when he returned to his hometown and entered Beijing, but he was not enough, but he was framed as "opening the door to welcome the thief, the thief entered the city, and stood up to serve him. Cutting is not enough to win the hearts of the people."We must know that Cao Huachun rehabilitated many civil officials who were framed by Wei Zhongxian, and he ended up like this in the end.It can be seen that Cao Huachun raised his head every day in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The gentry Qingliu of the Ming Dynasty were a very strange group of people.The country was about to perish, and they were still strangling to death, which also played a role in accelerating the demise of the Ming Dynasty in history.Of course, when the Manchu Tartars came, they changed their masters and still lived a superior life.

At the beginning, Zhu Youjian pinned all his hopes on the Qingliu of the gentry, so he spared no effort to suppress the eunuchs, and finally eradicated all the eunuchs.In the end, he discovered that his real enemy was not the eunuchs, but the nobles who he had always pinned all his hopes on.But by this time it was already too late, and these literati were too late.The country has been completely corrupted.

Now that Cao Qing is here, he has to make full preparations for his future happy life in the Ming Dynasty.There is still time for everything.If Zhu Youjian can be influenced through his contacts with Zhu Youjian, then Zhu Youjian's historical mistakes may be redeemed.

In addition, Cao Qing should be regarded as the top firearms expert of this era.If Cao Qing can make a difference in this regard, then history may really be rewritten.Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the technological development of the Ming Dynasty was definitely much higher than that of the barbaric Tartars outside the customs.But the technology of the Ming Dynasty was not well utilized.For example, the Ming Dynasty invented many very advanced weapons of that era, but the standard equipment system of the Ming Dynasty military was very complicated and flashy.If the standard equipment can be unified, the logistical pressure will be greatly reduced, and these advanced technologies will play a greater role in the army.

"What are you thinking?" Cao Huachun asked.

"The dim sum in the palace is really delicious." Cao Qing answered the wrong question, naturally Cao Qing did it on purpose.

"Tomorrow I will still take you to the palace, but you have to remember one thing, see more and think less." Cao Huachun said.

"Understood." Cao Qing said.

"Aren't you happy that I took you to the palace?" Cao Huachun asked.

"Happy." Cao Qing said.

Cao Huachun looked up at Cao Qing again, but he didn't see where Cao Qing was happy.

"Father, who is the emperor's enemy?" Cao Qing asked.

"Why do you ask this?" Cao Huachun asked.

"The father-in-law asked me, but I couldn't tell." Cao Qing said.

"Who do you think?" Cao Huachun said.

"Everyone says it's Lord Nine Thousand Years Old. But I don't think so." Cao Qing said.

"Why?" Cao Huachun asked.

"Nine thousand years old is domineering, but he is just an eunuch after all. His interests are tied to the emperor. For example, if there is a vicious dog in the family, no matter how vicious the dog is, it is just a dog after all. But this vicious dog can guard the house. If the vicious dog If the dog is gone, it's like opening the door and stealing." Cao Qing said.

"Who told you these words?" Cao Huachun said sharply.

"No one. I just think so." Cao Qing said.

"This kind of thing can only be said at home. It cannot be said outside." Cao Huachun said.

"Understood." Cao Qing knew that his nonsense had aroused Cao Huachun's vigilance.This is enough. In the future, when Cao Huachun goes to rehabilitate those civil servants, he will have to think more about it.

In fact, were those civil servants really wronged by Wei Zhongxian?History is the history of the victors, and no one knows what the truth is.Just like the current officials, if you kill one thousand or ten thousand, you will feel that you have wronged them?At the end of Ming Dynasty, many officials deserved to be killed!In the end, he was rehabilitated. What was the result? The history is there, and Zhu Youjian became the king of subjugation.Zhu Youjian feels very wronged, but is it really wronged?Not wronged at all, he did it on his own.
