In the early morning, Xue Yu brought four friends to the back garden of the palace, wandering around and admiring the flowers!

It was September, and the osmanthus, chrysanthemums and hibiscus in the garden were all blooming, colorful and fragrant, making people feel relaxed and happy!

However, the five people's minds were obviously not about appreciating the flowers. Instead, they looked for places with dense vegetation and hidden locations!

When they arrived in a corner and confirmed that there were no servants from the royal palace around them, the five people quickly lifted up their clothes, took out a package from their arms, and poured them down under the surrounding trees, all filled with soil!

The tunnel has started to be excavated and the progress is very smooth, but there is also a problem, which is where to put the digging soil?

It’s not possible in the courtyard. The servants of the royal palace come to clean the house every day, and Wang Youshi is also a regular visitor. Once they notice it, they will definitely feel suspicious!

It would be even more unrealistic to transport it outside the palace. No one can get out, let alone the land!

Xue Yu had an idea and thought of a good idea, which was to hide the soil on his body, and quietly pour it into the royal palace garden every morning, midnight, and after dinner!

The garden is large, with a lot of vegetation and few people. In addition, the soil is everywhere, so you can secretly pour some things that will not attract attention!

This is a bit slower, but it is better to be safe and stable!

After pouring the soil, Xue Yu and his friends pretended to walk for a while, and then returned to the courtyard. When Na Zhi passed by a forest of osmanthus flowers, he suddenly heard a cry!

"Woo! Woo!"

"A naughty thing, how dare you steal things from the royal palace, beat me hard!"

"I didn't steal, I really didn't steal!"

"You still dare to be stubborn, beat me until you kill me!"

"Ba!Ba!"

...

After turning two turns and seeing the situation clearly, I saw an eight or nine-year-old eunuch tied up on a osmanthus tree. Two young eunuchs were whipping with cowhides, and the whip was bloody, which was very fierce!

Another middle-aged eunuch with a sharp-mouthed cheek and a sallow complexion stood beside him with a hip, cursing with a sharp voice while ordering hard whipping!

People often think that only eunuchs are present in the palaces of the vassal kings. In fact, eunuchs are also used in the residences of various vassal kings, but the number and grade cannot be compared with the palaces.

In addition, there was an unwritten rule in the Ming Dynasty: the vassal kings in various places should regularly select smart little eunuchs from their palaces and send them to the palace to listen to the trouble!

Not only eunuchs, but also other delicious, fun and useful things, they must pay tribute to the emperor in time to show their surrender!

"stop!"

Xue Yu's personality is to bully the strong but not bully the weak, and to be arrogant but not humiliating the lower. Seeing that the little eunuch was beaten pitifully, he hurried forward and stopped him!

"Stop, stop beating, little one has seen Lord Yu!"

Xue Yu's identity as the "Emperor Envoy" is a secret, and only a few people in the palace know it, but Wang Youshi ordered that everyone in charge should respect him and call him Lord Yu!

The middle-aged eunuch dared not neglect any more. While stopping the whipping, he bowed and bowed!

"Why did you whip him?"

"If Lord Huiyu says this slave is not clean and dares to steal things from the palace. Only then will the villain punish him!"

"He is still young, so he will be punished slightly. If he continues to fight like this, he will die. If you have to forgive others, forgive him and let him go!"

"What about this?"

"Next, I'll reward you!"

"The little Lord Xie Yu rewards him, let him down. He is lucky. He meets a noble person today!"

...

Punishing slaves is a private matter of the royal palace. Xue Yu, an outsider, is not easy to interfere, but a ingot of five ounces of gold ingots still passed, and the problem was solved in an instant.

The middle-aged eunuch took the gold and smiled uglyly like a chrysanthemum. He immediately ordered the release of the people, nodded and bowed, said a lot of flattery words, and then led the two subordinates away.

"Thank you for helping me for helping me. I will never forget you for the rest of my life, woo!" After the little eunuch put it down, he struggled to kneel on the ground, kowtowed and thanked me, and tears fell down one by one!

Xue Yu went up to check and found that the little eunuch had only skin trauma and did not hurt his muscles and bones. He looked at the bloody feeling and applied the golden sore medicine. He would be fine after a few days of cultivation.

"Okay, get up, what's your name?"

"Slave Debao!"

"Debao, what's your surname?"

"I became a eunuch and humiliated my ancestors. I dare not mention my surname. Just call me Debao!"

...

Xue Yu remembered that there was an unwritten rule since the Sui and Tang dynasties. Although being an eunuch has a good future, it is a matter of insulting ancestors after all. Therefore, after purging himself, eunuchs will leave their names but not their surnames!

Leaving a name means not forgetting the root and not leaving a surname means not to humiliate the ancestors!

Moreover, after a small eunuch enters the palace or the royal palace, in order not to be bullied, he often recognizes a powerful eunuch as his godfather and follows his godfather's surname in the future.

For example, Gao Lishi of the Tang Dynasty, whose surname was Feng, was castrated and sent to the palace at a young age. Later, he was adopted by the eunuch Gao Yanfu as his adopted son, so he changed his surname to Gao!

There is also the "Emperor" of the Zhengde period - Liu Jin. His original surname was Tan. He was adopted by the eunuch Liu Shun when he was six years old. Later, he went to the palace to be a eunuch and changed his surname from then on!

Of course, there are also some eunuchs who, after making their debut, regain their ancestors and change their surnames back to their family.

Not long after Debao entered the palace, he had not yet recognized his godfather and no one was protecting him. Only then did he be bullied by others!

"They said, you stole things from the palace?"

"I didn't, they wronged me!"

"Oh, why did they wrong you!"

"Oh, it's been a long story..."

Debao stopped his tears and explained in detail that he was originally from Yiyang, Henan Province. His family was poor and he lived hard by farming a few acres of thin fields. He had hunger and full meals all day. This year, he had a severe drought and had no harvest in the crops. He really couldn't have enough food at home.

It just so happened that the Fu Palace recruited a young eunuch. His parents were cruel and cruel, so they sent Debao. Being an eunuch was really not glorious, but at least he had a good meal, and he still had more than two taels of salary every month, which was much better than farming.

So, Debao entered the palace and became a low-level eunuch. He was mainly responsible for pouring urine pots and brushing toilets for the maids in the palace. At the same time, he took care of the trees in the garden, watering, fertilizing, and removing insects. He ran around every day and was exhausted!

It would be fine if you were harder or tired, but you would be bullied by the eunuchs. If you were scolded, Debao would have to be filial to his salary of 2 taels and 6 cents a month, and he would only have a few copper coins left!

Last month, someone from my hometown sent a message saying that the disaster had become more serious and many people starved to death in the village.

Debao was worried about his family, so he asked someone to take all his salary and silver for this month. Without the money in his hand, he could not be filial to the top, so he was put on his shoes!

It just so happened that a few sets of tea sets were lost in the tea room and a few kilograms of good tea leaves!

There are many people in the palace, so it is common to throw things away. Eunuchs, maids, and even officials are also in charge of robbers. Anyway, the blessing kings have mountains of gold and silver, and they don’t steal them or steal them.

But the eunuch in charge of the affairs, without asking any questions, believed that Debao stole it, and tied him to a tree and whipped it hard. It was called punishing the thief, but in fact it was forcing the money to ask for money!

"So that's it, you're a pitiful person too!"

After listening to the story, Xue Yu stared at the little eunuch's eyes, and there was a clear look inside, which means he was not lying!

Then he nodded and took out two ingots of gold from his arms, both of which were 10 taels per official ingot!

When Debao entered the palace, he could only receive a small piece of silver every month. He had never seen such a big gold ingot and was immediately stunned.

"Benefactor, are you?"

"I've given it to you. I'll take one ingot home and another ingot to get some connections, so that your life will be a little better in the future!"

"No, no, the slave dares not!"

"Hold it, you are a filial child!"

He stuffed two ingots of gold into the arms of the little eunuch, comforted him again, and Xue Yu and others turned around and left.

The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, looking at the distant back, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed non-stop!

"My benefactor, please leave your name. If you have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay your great kindness. Even if I can't repay you in this life, I will repay you as a cow in the next life!"

"No need, hurry up and apply medicine!"

"benefactor?"

"Go!"

Xue Yu believed in the little eunuch's gratitude, but he didn't take it seriously!

What can a little eunuch who pours a urine pot for someone to repay him?

Unfortunately, Xue Yu was wrong this time. People will change. It is said that heroes do not care about their origins, but in fact, the same is true for eunuchs!

During the Chenghua period, Wang Zhi, the governor of the West Factory who killed people without blinking, was used to be responsible for sweeping the floor.

Before the Zhengde years, Liu Jin, the founding emperor who was powerful in the world, was originally responsible for ringing the bells and drums.

They are all insignificant little people, but once they gain power, they can stir up the world!

Who would have thought that in a few years, this little Huan Debao who poured urine pots for people would save Xue Yu and his partners' lives and indirectly lead to a shocking event!

...

Xue Yu also didn't expect that in the pavilion not far away, there was a pair of toad eyes soaked in the water, watching his every move!

"Good boy, I finally found you. If you dare to stab Master Huang in the palm of your hand, you must pay for your blood debt. Just wait!"

The yellow figure flashed and headed straight to the eastern district of the royal palace, where several concubines of King Fu lived!
