Rise From the Humble

Chapter 363: Reaching the Peak of Eunuchs

It's not that simple, you can find a companion who you can chat with...

Seeing the back of the gray-bearded man leading the crowd away, Zhu Pingan sang the song "It's Not That Simple" in his heart, wanting to cry, but it really wasn't that easy to be an official...

Whether it's a fight between gods or a fight between big bosses, the process after the palace examination results are released must continue.

The following is the highlight of the imperial examination——Praise the official on the imperial street, that is, praise the official on the street. The number one scholar rides a tall horse on the imperial street of the imperial city, enjoying the glory envied by all the people. Of course, the same will happen to the second best scholar and the third best scholar, but they will fall behind the first scholar. As for the other Jinshi, they can only walk.

In fact, the purpose of boasting officials in the Royal Street is to commend the champions and other Jinshi, to inspire everyone in the world, especially the self-motivated students, to encourage them to learn from the champions, to use them as models, to work hard, study hard, and take part in the imperial examinations Take the exam and serve the emperor.

Under the arrangements of the Ministry of Rites and officials of Honglu Temple, Zhu Ping'an, Bang Yan and Tan Hua Lang were led to the side hall. Because boasting about officials in the royal street is a matter of great importance to appearance, it is only necessary to change the first, first and third persons into festive and dazzling clothes.

In the side hall, the eunuchs and maids drew up the curtains early, and three changing rooms were divided. Zhu Pingan and the three were led in by someone, and changed the exclusive crown clothes of the number one scholar, the second place, and Tanhualang.

Entering the single room covered by the curtain, Zhu Ping'an discovered that the little eunuch waiting inside had met once, that is, the little eunuch who winked at him when he was about to choose the golden rooster yesterday when he was choosing the reward in front of the saint. . The reason why he is now the number one scholar is more or less related to the blink of an eye of this little eunuch.

"Oh, it turned out to be Eunuch. Ping An didn't thank Eunuch on the spot yesterday because of the inconvenience. I hope Eunuch is not to blame. Thank you Eunuch for reminding me yesterday." After Zhu Pingan recognized the little eunuch, he cupped his hands and thanked him.

"Hehe, the number one scholar is being polite. Our family didn't do anything yesterday. The first reason why the number one scholar is today is because of the reward from the emperor, and secondly because the number one scholar himself is very smart, but it has nothing to do with our family." The eunuch shook his head slightly and replied with a smile.

"Father-in-law was joking. Although Ping'an is not talented, he also knows how to repay kindness. If Eunuch hadn't mentioned something yesterday, Ping'an would almost have made a mistake."

"The No. 1 scholar is just kidding, our family really didn't do anything." The expression on the little eunuch's face admitted, but his mouth was denying.

"May I ask what your father-in-law's name is?" Zhu Pingan asked slightly, clasping his hands together.

"It's not a title, it's just a humble name. Our common name is Feng Bao, I'm afraid it will spoil the ears of the champion." The little eunuch said modestly.

Oh, your name is Feng Bao.

Zhu Pingan didn't realize anything in his heart when he heard the words, and when he was about to say something, suddenly it seemed like a lightning strike, and he was shocked, wait, Nima, what's your name, Feng Bao...

Feng Bao! This guy is a great person in the future, a fighting chicken among eunuchs, and the most important political ally of Zhang Juzheng in the future. The reason why Zhang Juzheng will have the last laugh several times in the confrontation with his political opponents in the future is Feng Bao, a political ally. But the contribution was great, whether it was to kill Gao Gong, or to ravage Shenzong and hold the power of Ming Dynasty together, Feng Bao's role cannot be ignored.

Historically, Feng Bao was a two-faced person. On the one hand, he was extremely intelligent, highly educated, and ambitious. On the other hand, he was greedy for money and power. Some unofficial histories also recorded that Feng Bao was also greedy for sex. This guy is a famous "eunuch politician". In the future, he will not only be the ceremonial supervisor, the admiral of the East Factory and the royal horse supervisor, but also the minister of orders, with overwhelming power. It can be said that this guy has made the profession of eunuchs the best. peak!

I really didn't expect that the little eunuch in front of me turned out to be Feng Bao, and Zhu Ping'an was struck by lightning.

The little eunuch Feng Baocai finished speaking his name when he saw Zhuangyuan Lang staring at him dumbfounded as if he had been struck by lightning.

The young eunuch Feng Bao, the "Number One Scholar", was astonished.

Zhu Ping'an came to his senses only after being called by the young eunuch, and then looked at the young eunuch Feng Bao intently, and said formally: "Thank you to Eunuch Feng for what happened yesterday. Eunuch Feng has a good name. No matter what Believe it or not, although Ping’an is the first to hear his name, he believes that Eunuch Feng will leave a strong mark in history in the future.”

"The Number One Scholar is just kidding me. We are just servants in the palace who work around the house, but we cannot be worthy of being thanked by the Number One Scholar. Besides, our family is just an eunuch, so what's the use of a good or bad name? How dare we expect to leave a mark in history?" This is a very colorful stroke. The No. 1 Scholar must stop making fun of our family." Feng Bao shook his head, seeming to think of the sad incident of the knife, and sighed with some loss.

"Three hundred and sixty lines, you can be the number one scholar, so why should you belittle yourself?" Zhu Pingan comforted.

"But our family is just an eunuch, so what's the future?" The little eunuch Feng Bao laughed at himself.

The current Feng Bao does not have the scheming, powerful and domineering character written in future history books. Instead, he has a sense of inferiority and a certain amount of unconfidence.

This is where you can live with rare items. If you invest at this time, the future income will be huge, and Zhang Juzheng's fortune in the future will also depend on this person, so why not take a share of it yourself.

Suddenly, Zhu Pingan thought of a very popular joke in modern times, which just happened to be suitable for this time.

Therefore, Zhu Ping'an suddenly raised his voice, and interrupted Feng Bao's words righteously, "My father-in-law, please forgive me for not agreeing with Ping'an's words!"

"Oh? Why did Zhuangyuan Lang say that?" Feng Bao was a little puzzled by Zhu Ping's sudden excitement.

"how you said that?"

"I would like to ask my father-in-law if he knows who wrote the world's greatest general history book that 'studies the relationship between heaven and man, understands the changes of ancient and modern times, and makes a family's statement'?"

"If you dare to ask my father-in-law, it turns out that the improvement of papermaking technology has enabled the civilization of the world to be passed on through the ages, the cost of paper has been reduced, and the children of poor families can learn the words of the sage. Is there any scholar in the world who does not bathe in the glory of this man? Who did it?"

"If you dare to ask my father-in-law, we know that after Wu Zetian abdicated, Tang Zhongzong came to power, and within a few days the crown prince Li Chong led the forbidden army to force the palace to stage a coup. He tried his best to turn the tide and help the building to fall; later, during Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Vietnamese chieftain Mei Xuancheng rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and who took the path of the Eastern Han Dynasty when Ma Yuan went south and marched on the small road, directly attacking the enemy chieftain to pacify the southwest?"

"I dare to ask my father-in-law, do you know who went to the Western Ocean seven times and spread the power of the Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away?"

After Zhu Pingan repeated what he said in a rising tone, he slammed a series of rhetorical questions, like a raging tornado, sweeping the little eunuch Feng Bao, and his brains were covered by this series of questions. The rhetorical question cleared the air.

"Sima Qian, Cai Hou, Yang Sixu, Zheng Gong," the little eunuch muttered to himself involuntarily under the storm of Zhu Pingan's words.

"Where are they from? How do they get along?" Zhu Ping hit the iron while the iron was hot, and asked a series of questions again, "Eunuch Feng just underestimated himself, didn't he also underestimate them?"

Under the storm of Zhu Pingan's words, the young eunuch Feng Bao's eyes suddenly lit up. At this moment, a seed called ambition took root and sprouted in his heart!

Although Sima Qian was not orthodox, he was castrated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was an eunuch; Cai Lun and Marquis Cai were eunuchs and eunuchs; Yang Sixu was an eunuch and eunuchs;

What a coincidence, I am also a eunuch!

They can do it, they can leave their name in history, why can’t I!

The seed of ambition in the young eunuch Feng Bao's heart quickly took root and grew vigorously!

"Thank you, Number One Scholar, for waking up our family!" The young eunuch Feng Bao looked at Zhu Pingan, his eyes shining brightly, and he thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

"Eunuch Feng was joking, and I didn't do anything." Zhu Pingan copied the expression of the little eunuch Feng Bao at the beginning, and denied it with a slight smile.

Then, the two looked at each other and understood each other, and laughed.

The wheel of history whizzed by without stopping for a moment. It ran over a stone, bumped for a while, and continued to move forward...
