Rise From the Humble

No one kicks a dead dog.

This is an American motto, which mainly describes that the more capable a person is, the more attacks he will receive, and the more powerful his attackers will be.

Although Zhu Ping'an is a graduate student in modern times, a graduate student majoring in ancient Chinese is like someone who has learned the magic of dragon slaying. He has the ability to slay dragons, but he doesn't have the dragon to kill him twice. In short, he is just a sling. I like these inspirational mottos, and I hope that one day I can serve as CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the top of my life. This American motto is one of Zhu Pingan's favorites.

Every time I failed to apply for a job and was downtrodden, I always used this motto to comfort myself. It was Ah Q’s spiritual victory method.

"Thank you Mr. Xiao Zhu for your words." Feng Bao thanked him sincerely, and then asked Zhu Ping'an, "Is this slang from Mr. Xiao Zhu's hometown?"

"Haha, that's right." Zhu Ping'an did not deny it. If modern times can be regarded as his hometown, then this American motto can also be regarded as rural slang.

"Xiahe Village is really a land of outstanding people. No wonder it has such a top scholar as Mr. Xiao Zhu. A rural slang is so philosophical, and the whole family has learned a lesson." Feng Bao said with emotion.

"Although my father-in-law may be in a difficult situation at the moment, Ping An is optimistic about my father-in-law and believes that he will be able to emerge from his cocoon and become a butterfly." Zhu Pingan, who is familiar with history, knows Feng Bao's future, so he said it calmly.

Zhu Pingan has confidence in Feng Bao, but Feng Bao does not have much confidence in himself. He knows very well how dangerous his current situation is.

"Hey, Mr. Xiao Zhu doesn't know something. My current situation is that I am standing in front of a cliff, walking on the tip of a knife. If I am not careful, I will be shattered to pieces. No matter how cautious I am, I will be roasted on the fire." Feng Bao grabbed his clothes tightly with both hands and frowned. His face was covered with sorrow and was deformed. He felt as if he was about to collapse.

"Don't talk about breaking out of a cocoon and turning into a butterfly. The Za family is in danger." Feng Bao sighed deeply, frowning and frowning, full of sorrow.

"What makes Eunuch Feng so depressed?" Zhu Pingan asked curiously.

It turns out that Feng Bao had experienced such a desperate time. He didn't know what made the eunuchs who would dominate Zhang Juzheng in the future so desperate.

"Hey, it's hard to put it into words. It's a long story." Feng Bao looked at Xiyuan in the distance and sighed.

Okay, finally getting to the point.

Zhu Ping'an looked at Feng Bao, who was about to speak at length, and silently cheered up.

"It happened a month ago."

Feng Bao fell into memories, and then slowly narrated.

Following Feng Bao's narration, Zhu Pingan gradually understood the reason for Feng Bao's depression. It was really a long story.

A month ago, Feng Bao was chosen by the famous person around Emperor Jiajing, Huang, who is now the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Governor of Dongchang, because of his intelligence, careful work in front of the palace, good performance in the inner study hall, and good calligraphy. Jin Suo appreciated him and was promoted to the clerk's office.

The inner study hall is equivalent to the eunuch school of the Ming Dynasty. This is an institution established in the palace by Zhu Yuanzhang’s grandson, Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji. The inner study hall selected hundreds of young eunuchs under the age of ten from the palace. Bingbi, the ceremonial eunuch, was appointed as the principal. People from the Hanlin Academy were invited to give lectures and teach these young eunuchs how to read and write, learn about ancient and modern times, and be proficient in writing.

When Feng Bao first entered the inner study hall, he was accepted by Huang Jin, who was the ceremonial supervisor at the time. Of course, Huang Jin also accepted many young eunuchs in the inner study hall.

There were tens of thousands of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, and there were also many institutions. The eunuch institutions mainly included twelve supervisors, four divisions and eight bureaus, commonly known as the twenty-four yamen, and the secretary of rites was the most powerful agency among the twenty-four yamen, just like The same as the cabinet of the outer court, its power is no less than that of the cabinet.

The dream of the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty was to enter the ceremonial department, just like the officials wanted to enter the interior.

A month ago, the clerk's office where Feng Bao was promoted was regarded by the eunuchs in the inner court as having the same status as the Hanlin Academy in the outer court. The institutions under the Supervisor of Ceremonies include the clerical room, inner study hall, ceremonial room, engraving room and other institutions. Among them, the bureau room is like the Hanlin Academy in the outer dynasty.

The Hanlin Academy is the seat of the Prime Minister, and cabinet ministers are often appointed from the Hanlin Academy; the same is true for the ceremonial supervisors in the inner court. If eunuchs want to be promoted to the ceremonial supervisors, they must also gain experience in the clerk's office. When eunuchs are promoted to ceremonial supervisors, they are often appointed by the clerk's office. The young eunuchs selected into the clerk's office are equivalent to the Hanlin and Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy.

When the general affairs department of the outer court and the officials of the capital, as well as the memorials of various vassal kings, were sent to the palace, they were all sent to the clerk's room. The votes of cabinet ministers and the emperor's imperial edicts and edicts are all uploaded and issued through the clerk's room.

This is the Hanlin Academy of the inner court.

The time when Feng Bao entered the clerk's room was basically the same as the time when Zhu Ping'an entered the Hanlin Academy. Basically, he entered the Hanlin Academy in the inner and outer courts at the same time.

The same experience and the same happy event made Feng Bao feel a little sympathetic to Zhu Pingan, so he reminded Zhu Pingan when Zhu Pingan chose the reward.

It can be said that being selected into the clerk's office has a bright future. This is also the great joy that Feng Bao dreams of.

So why is Feng Bao so desperate?

This is why what Zhu Pingan said just now, "No one would kick a dead dog on the roadside," attracted Feng Bao. After Feng Bao was elected to the clerk's office, bloody and cruel struggles in the harem began one after another.

As for the fights between the young eunuchs, as long as they don't cross the bottom line (affecting the stability of the harem, affecting the safety of the master, etc.), Huang Jin will not care. Huang Jin admired Feng Bao, as well as several other young eunuchs, and would not make an exception for Feng Bao.

What Feng Bao and the others have experienced is also what Huang Jin has experienced.

Struggle is also an indispensable experience for eunuchs to grow up.

Either grow

Or miserable.

Only by experiencing these can one grow into a qualified eunuch and an excellent eunuch.

After Feng Bao entered the clerk's room, he also met his future destined opponent-Chen Hong, as well as other young eunuchs. Of course, it was Chen Hong who was mainly responsible for Feng Bao's current situation.

Chen Hong entered the clerk's office a year earlier than Feng Bao, and he can be regarded as Feng Bao's senior brother. When Feng Bao first entered the clerk's office and his eyes darkened, Chen Hong was very enthusiastic, imparting experience, reminding taboos, and helping Feng Bao with all his heart. He looked like a caring big brother, almost like a beacon for Feng Bao, lighting up Feng Bao's path and making Feng Bao feel the long-lost warmth.

However

It’s all an actor’s self-cultivation.

Chen Hong's enthusiasm and help paralyzed Feng Bao. Then when Feng Bao was least prepared, Chen Hong tore off his disguise, revealing his sharp fangs dripping with venom, and penetrated Feng Bao with lightning speed. The throat hit directly to the vital point, instantly killing Feng Bao.

By the time Feng Bao came to his senses, it was already too late.
