Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 135 Fishing
"Haha. This little leaf really didn't disappoint me. I want to reward him, reward him."

Wanli's hearty laughter echoed in the hall, and the smile was the most contagious. The emperor was in a good mood, and even the maids and eunuchs who waited by him put on smiles on their faces.

Wanli is in such a good mood at the moment!It is said that Jiannu is so powerful. The court spends a lot of money every year for this, and loses soldiers and generals, but it still makes Jiannu stronger and stronger. How is it now?A little slave by my side, just tidied up that Nurhachi obediently. It seems that it's not because I am so bright, but because I used people improperly before!
But when he thought about how to award Ye Xun, Wanli couldn't help being in trouble. If Ye Xun was not a eunuch, it would be easy, even adding a title to him would not be a problem, but since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no eunuch who has conferred a title.

The highest official position is the eunuch of Sanbao, and he was named "eunuch of the imperial envoy and commander in chief". Could it be that Ye Xun was also given the rank of commander in chief?Is it a little too low?Liaodong itself has several general soldiers. If Ye Xun is at the same level as them, how will he command them in the future?

Wanli's forte is Tai Chi, and all the things he doesn't want to take care of are handed over to his ministers, because Ye Xun is an internal minister, so he will personally intervene.

Undecided, he simply brought Fang Congzhe over, and asked him to think about how to reward Ye Xun. This reward should not violate the ancestral system, but it should not be too low. In short, let Ye Xun appreciate the emperor's gift, and then eliminate Jiannu as soon as possible .

Comrade Lao Fang suddenly felt a little troubled, thinking that you are too unreasonable, boss?No matter how you say this, Ye Xun is also an eunuch, let me come up with a reward, it would be better to say that the imperial court should come forward to award a reward!

However, the emperor had spoken, and Lao Fang had always been resigned. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, the old minister feels that Ye Gonggong, as an internal prisoner, is not suitable for giving too high a reward. Your Majesty can reward him in two ways. It’s about material matters, such as making up for the food and salaries owed over the years, and at the same time rewarding Ye Xun himself with some gold and silver.”

"On the other hand, Your Majesty can raise Eunuch Ye's rank of eunuch, and the old minister thinks that he can be given the title of eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies and walks."

When Fang Congzhe said this, Wanli immediately understood that the highest rank of a eunuch is the third grade, which is no problem, just reward him directly, and the so-called walking eunuch, the chief inspector of ceremonies, is an honorary title. There is no need for him to intervene in the affairs of the supervisor.

In addition, Ye Xun has been practicing outside for several years, and his temperament has stabilized. When he returns, he will directly take over the supervisor of ceremonies, which will be considered justified.

Thinking of this, Wanli nodded and smiled and said, "It's better to seek the country in the old city of Ge! Let's draw up the decree according to the old man's intention. The 100 million taels of payment promised to Xiong Tingbi has not yet shipped, right? It's just right, and it will be directly allocated to Ye Xun. 3000 taels of silver for appreciating Ye Xun, he is a young eunuch, and he doesn’t have much room for silver, so 3000 taels is a lot.”

Fang Congzhe curled his lips in secret, thinking that you underestimate this little Ye Gonggong too much. If you give him 3000 taels, he might not even look straight at him. If this kid doesn’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars now, I will take care of him call big brother.

In this way, the decree drafted by the cabinet and reviewed by Wanli himself was freshly released.

This time, all the courts, including the censors who were talking about running the train, surprisingly none of them jumped out to object.

What are you against?They didn't compete with your courtiers for positions, and they even defeated Jiannu, who could not be defeated by countless famous courtiers and generals. May I ask who in the court has this ability?
However, although no one objected to Ye Xun's reward, someone still proposed a candidate for the new Liaodong Economic Strategy, Yuan Yingtai, the censor of the capital of Youqin, and the right servant of the Ministry of War.

This is also a good candidate, and the official voice is good.

After weighing for a long time, Wanli finally agreed to the memorial. In his mind, Ye Xun was still too young and liked to make troubles. Finding a mature and prudent person to watch him from the sidelines could be regarded as a kind of help to Ye Xun.

So the decree of ennobling Yuan Yingtai as the new Liaodong economic strategy followed the decree of rewarding Ye Xun and sent them to Liaodong successively.

Ye Xun didn't know that he had a new helper, and it was even more impossible to know that he had somehow entered the Prison of Rites.

He has a very important thing to do today, which is to completely solve Xu Hongru.

To paraphrase a modern saying, this guy is the leader of a cult organization. He looks like a dog, but he is actually harmful. Not to mention in ancient times, how many highly educated people will be fooled in later generations?
In the east of Tieling City, there is a small river meandering through the city. Near the residential area, you can see many women washing clothes and children playing beside Xiaohe.

Of course Ye Xun would not choose a place with a lot of people. The reason he came to Xu Hongru was fishing.

I don't know if he was too suspicious, Xu Hongru came late after a while after the appointed time, and when he saw that Ye Xun was the only one beside the river, he strode forward with confidence.

In fact, something happened to Xu Hongru, because he had been looking for Sun Dong for several days, but he still couldn't find Sun Dong's trace. Even the key members of the Liaodong area were missing.

Years of running experience told Xu Hongru that something might have happened to Sun Dong and the others, and the reason why he dared to come to see Ye Xun was because he was lucky and hoped that he would not be exposed by Ye Xun.

"Eunuch Ye is so elegant! I'm a little late, please forgive me for being too late."

There is a small table by the small river, a jug of wine, two wine glasses, but only one fishing rod.

After waiting for a long time, Ye Xun almost gave up, thinking that Xu Hongru smelled danger and ran away. Fortunately, this guy finally came.

Without looking back, he said: "Let me guess why Mr. Xu came late. He must have gone to find your subordinates, right?"

When Ye Xun directly told his real surname, Xu Hongru suddenly stopped, and two sharp lights burst out in his eyes, sweeping at Ye Xun like a substance.

Ye Xun pretended not to notice, and slowly lifted the fishing rod, but it turned out that there was no hook on the fishing line.

After standing in a daze for a while, Xu Hongru suddenly smiled, and said: "It turns out that Eunuch Ye likes tricks where volunteers take the bait. Yes, I am Xu Hongru. My father-in-law has had to deal with difficulties before the expiration of the term. Please forgive me."

Ye Xun turned around, looked at Xu Hongru quietly, and said, "I'm just curious, why did you say that to me when you left Yongping? How did you judge Ye?"

When Ye Xun asked about the past, Xu Hongru pretended to smile mysteriously, pointed to the sky with his finger, and said, "It told me, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you still can't escape its arrangement."

Ye Xun didn't have time to talk nonsense with him here, and said flatly: "Leave Liaodong, and never show up, or I will take your life."

"Hehe! Eunuch Ye is too conceited, right? Do you think everyone is afraid of you?"

Xu Hongru followed the sound and rushed towards Ye Xun like a big bird. It turned out that after Ye Xun called out his name, he knew that things would not go well today, so he was already ready to attack.

The so-called expert knows if there is something by stretching out his hand. From Xu Hongru's leaping figure, Ye Xun has already judged that Xu Hongru is indeed a master, but there is still some gap with him.
