Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Eunuch Rong Morong, escorted by twenty guards in royal robes, set out in great splendor and made a splash all the way. Almost everyone knew that he was returning home in splendid attire.

Although he was flamboyant along the way, he was not arrogant and domineering. Before leaving, Eunuch Wang Chengen repeatedly warned him not to do anything stupid.

He also knew in his heart that the emperor's sage could not tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. Once he committed adultery and violated the law, let alone the emperor who could not spare him, Eunuch Wang Chengen would be the first to kill him, because it was Eunuch Wang Chengen who recommended him. If things go wrong, Eunuch Wang Chengen will also have to bear the crime of negligence.

Eunuch Rong Mo is also very open-minded. He is now the deputy director of the Yin Shou Supervisor. Even if he has nothing to do, if he stays for another ten or eight years, the position of the chief eunuch of the Yin Shou Supervisor will sooner or later be his. He has a bright future and he will do stupid things. ?

Besides, besides the royal guards, he was also surrounded by soldiers specially trained by the emperor. Each one was more ruthless than the last. Did he have any chance of committing an crime?

However, he readily accepted the warm hospitality offered by the powerful gentry from all over the country, and even calmly accepted the money they offered, which was no more than five hundred taels. This was an unwritten rule in official circles, and the emperor would not say anything if he knew it.

Although the official road was covered with snow and it was difficult to travel, Eunuch Rong Mo was eager to return home and traveled all the way in a hurry, finally arriving in Leshan County before the Spring Festival.

The magistrate of Leshan County, Liu Chengwei, led a group of gentry to greet him outside the city gate. He was very enthusiastic and presented a whole oxcart of new year's goods to the police officers to escort him home.

In fact, almost all civil servants despised eunuchs, thinking that they were unfilial and brought trouble to the court because of their disloyalty. However, eunuchs like Rong Mo, who hold real power, are fawning and play double standards. Thief slips away.

Father-in-law Rong Mo spent his own money and bought a whole oxcart of white rice, chicken and duck meat, candies and other snacks in the city, and then he was led home by the police officer.

His home was in Dingyang Village. When the people in the village heard that he was returning to his hometown to visit relatives, they all came to greet him.

Father-in-law Rong Mo mails part of the money he saves home every year to give to his parents for household use. Now, the Rong family is considered the second richest household in Dingyang Village, except for Rong Derong, a wealthy landlord in the village.

Rong Mo's brothers, sisters, and younger siblings were all excited when they heard that he was back. His parents were excited, embarrassed, and even more guilty.

At first, they sold their biological son into the palace to be a eunuch. Not only did the son not blame them, but on the contrary, he sent back a lot of money every year, which greatly improved the family's living conditions.

Now that Rong Mo suddenly came back to visit relatives, they felt even more sorry for Rong Mo, but they could only bite the bullet and welcome their son home for reunion with his father and fellow villagers.

In order to thank his fellow villagers for their warm welcome, Rong Mo distributed two kilograms of pork, five kilograms of white rice, and some candies to each household.

Before returning to the village, he had asked the county magistrate Liu Chengwei that there were currently 156 households in Dingyang Village. He divided the gift into 156 parts, so that every household could get one.

The people were simple, and it was like pie in the sky to receive such a New Year's gift. Everyone was so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear. They bowed and thanked him repeatedly and praised him for his achievements. Even after he became a high official, he did not forget his fellow villagers.

After seeing off his enthusiastic father and fellow villagers, Rong Mo had time to talk to his parents, brothers and sisters and distribute gifts to them. That night, Rong Mo was in a good mood and indulged himself. He got drunk and was helped by others. Members stay in luxury homes.

The Rong family didn't have any spare rooms or beds, not to mention there were so many guards. Rong Mo didn't want them to be wronged, so he stayed at Rong De Rong's house, which made Rong Rong so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

He was eager for this. In order to take good care of Eunuch Rong Mo, he even asked two concubines to serve him personally.

It's a pity that Eunuch Rong Mo was castrated and could not be treated humanely. Otherwise, he would have wanted to have a son through his mother's womb and gain some influence from Eunuch Rong Mo's official aura.

Rong Mo did not forget the mission of this trip. He spent New Year's Eve and New Year's Day at home with his family, and then on the pretext of visiting friends, he headed to Leping County with more than 20 so-called guards.
