Chapter 134: I Am His Only Support
Chapter 135 I am his only support
It is impossible for Liu Jin not to have heard of Wang Dehai's name. As early as when he entered the palace, an old eunuch mentioned to him the prestige of the prince.
With high qualifications and great power, he has almost reached the pinnacle of eunuchs in his life.
Nowadays, although Wang Dehai has relieved most of his burdens, he still has extraordinary influence.
When all the eunuchs saw him, they would respectfully call him "old ancestor".
This shows how powerful Wang Dehai was back then.
But no matter how powerful he is, he still has to serve the old man after all. The era that belongs to him has passed. Although he is still in charge of the Jingshi Room and the Royal Kitchen Room in name, but in reality, he is rarely involved in it.
He hardly participates in the day-to-day work, he just keeps a close eye on it, as long as there are no major mistakes.
This is the so-called semi-retirement state.
Everyone knows that in a few more years, Wang Dehai will completely resign.
At that time, when you leave the palace, you can go home and enjoy family happiness.
The day when Wang Dehai leaves the palace is getting closer and closer. At this juncture, he suddenly began to pay attention to the imperial dining room and became involved in the palace of the Queen Mother.
This made Liu Jin suspicious.
"Have you ever been to the imperial kitchen today?"
Liu Jin asked.
"No, Eunuch Wang is paying less and less attention to the imperial kitchen. Now Eunuch Zhang is basically worrying about it."
The little eunuch replied.
Eunuch Zhang was the one who officially took over the royal kitchen after Wang Dehai's retirement.
In fact, the work has been handed over now. After he is fully familiar with it, Wang Dehai can leave the palace.
This is a normal procedure.
"You go."
Liu Jin waved his hand and let the little eunuchs leave.
He quickened his pace and rushed to Baifang Garden.
15 He felt a little uneasy in his heart.
When he arrived at Baifangyuan, the unease in his heart immediately magnified a lot.
Because the eunuchs serving in Baifang Garden made him feel unfamiliar.
Of course, no one else will feel anything.
They are all foreign ministers, how could they deliberately remember eunuchs?
But to Liu Jin, a person who is very familiar with the team palace, the eunuchs currently serving in Baifangyuan are strange.
First of all, they are not young, mostly middle-aged.
But generally speaking, on such occasions, the little eunuchs with neat hands and feet will serve them.
Secondly, their faces were unfamiliar. Liu Jin knew all the departments of the palace well, but he had never met them.
Where did these eunuchs come from?
Liu Jin suppressed the doubts in his heart and led people in, but was stopped outside.
"Presumptuous! You guys are against the sky, how dare you stop Eunuch Liu!"
Liu Jin's accompanying little eunuch seized the opportunity to perform and immediately stepped forward to scold.
Where there are people, there are fights, and the group of eunuchs fights fiercely.
For these little eunuchs, they need to hold Liu Jin's thigh tightly, so that they may benefit from Liu Jin's soaring into the sky in the future.
"This is the will of the Queen Mother."
The middle-aged eunuch blocking the road sneered, he obviously did not take this deterrence seriously, and said lightly.
"If you are dissatisfied, just go to the Queen Mother."
The little eunuch was at a loss for words.
Looking for the Queen Mother?
He has to have this too.
Liu Jin stretched out a hand and signaled the little eunuch to step back, then smiled and said.
"This father-in-law, doesn't he know who our family is?"
The middle-aged eunuch looked up and down, Yin & Yang said strangely.
"I know, how could I not know the name of Eunuch Liu of the Imperial Horse Supervisor? It is said that the Holy Family is now very strong, serving in front of His Majesty all day long, but he is a big celebrity!"
It doesn't sound right.
But Liu Jin did not show any dissatisfaction, but continued to say with a smile.
"It's not a big celebrity. There is still a lot to learn in our family... But it's my father-in-law, who seems to have an extraordinary bearing. I don't know where you are doing things?"
The middle-aged eunuch said proudly.
"Our family follows our ancestors!"
Ancestor?
Wang Dehai!
Liu Jin's eyes flashed, no wonder these eunuchs were fearless and arrogant.
It turned out to be the old man beside Wang Dehai.
These old people are no longer in charge of various departments. They are kept by Wang Dehai's side. The longer they are raised, the more resentful they will be.
After all, they all followed Wang Dehai's scenery back then.
How can I feel better in my heart now, watching the new person replace the old one?
They hated a young and promising eunuch like Liu Jin the most.
But whether they were jealous or not, Liu Jin didn't really care.
The psychology of this group of eunuchs is easily distorted, and no one knows this better than him.
What he really thought about was the deep meaning that suddenly appeared from this group of people.
Wang Dehai didn't care much anymore, but suddenly he came out to take charge of the imperial kitchen.
And from all angles, this matter is inseparable from the Queen Mother.
If the queen mother is worried that the banquet is not good enough and wants to find a seasoned and prudent eunuch to handle it, then it can be justified.
After all, Wang Dehai is the old man in the palace.
But the question is, is it necessary to take the whole thing so seriously?
Even the door to Baifangyuan was sealed.
Just in case, they didn't even use the newbies, but these old men with a lot of resentment.
All of these, how all revealed a disturbing taste.
"I've heard about the name of the old ancestor for a long time, but the old man has always lived in a secluded place and has no chance to see him. Today, I didn't expect the old ancestor to return to Rivers and Lakes... Our family will definitely go to see him."
Liu Jin said lightly.
"I want to meet my ancestors, let's go to another day."
The middle-aged eunuch waved his hand and said.
"Today, the Queen Mother has a decree, Baifangyuan will be handed over to us to serve, and the ancestors also specially ordered that no one other than our old brothers will be allowed to enter!"
The smile on Liu Jin's face disappeared.
"What if I say I have to go in?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Just a banquet.
Compared with last night's banquet, today's banquet should be just a small scene, but why is it so serious.
Others are even banned from entering Baifangyuan.
Is there something shady in here, or is there something to hide?
"Your Majesty said that no one is allowed to enter. Could it be that you don't understand? You..."
The middle-aged eunuch looked impatient.
Liu Jin's previous smile gave him the illusion that Liu Jin was easy to bully.
Snapped!
However, Liu Jin's sudden slap not only interrupted his words, but also left him stunned.
"presumptuous!"
Liu Jin looked at him coldly.
"You say the prince on the left, the prince on the right, why do you want to use the prince to oppress our family?"
"Our family clearly tells you that the times have long since changed, and you old-time remnants of the party are no longer qualified to grin!"
"If you dare to say a word to the prince in front of our family again, do you believe our family will smash your mouth!"
Liu Jin showed ferocity.
The middle-aged eunuch was not convinced, raised his head and looked at him, then his eyes began to dodge, and finally lowered his head.
The palace is the most realistic place.
Especially these eunuchs who are at the bottom.
It is clear at a glance who wins and who loses.
They are unwilling to accept reality, but that doesn't mean they don't know reality.
These old people from the time of the emperor have indeed been eliminated.
Qualifications are meaningless.
Liu Jin is the head of the Royal Horse Supervisor and a popular man in front of the emperor. He has no qualifications to challenge Liu Jin.
This slap hit him, and he immediately woke up, recognized his own identity, and said with a low eyebrow.
"But the queen mother ordered..."
Liu Jin said coldly.
"Our family has also obeyed His Majesty's will. Who has the final say in this palace?"
No one dared to accept this.
Liu Jin spoke again.
"Step aside."
No one dared to stop him this time.
He walked straight in with great strides.
But this is not the end, someone has long since seen that the situation is wrong, and rushed in to report.
Liu Jin saw it and silently remembered it in his heart.
Not long after, he entered Baifang Garden and arrived at the banquet place.
From far away, you can hear laughter from the banquet hall.
This is the kindness of the ministers in thanking the Queen Mother for the feast.
None of them knew that the outside of Baifangyuan had been blocked by the eunuchs.
In other words, even if they saw it, they wouldn't care.
Because the eunuch would never stop them.
"Oh, isn't this Eunuch Liu?"
In the corner, an old eunuch came over. He was old, but he still looked very imposing. Unlike ordinary eunuchs, he was more like a very cultivated literati.
This person is Wang Dehai.
"Meet the ancestors."
Liu Jin smiled and saluted.
"Okay, our family can't stand the courtesy of Eunuch Liu. Times have changed. Our family is only a remnant of the old era. Now in this palace, Eunuch Liu has the final say."
Wang Dehai lowered his eyebrows and said tepidly.
"The old ancestor's words are not good. In the palace, His Majesty has always had the final say. You and I are just slaves."
Liu Jin said lightly.
Wang Dehai let out a laugh, instead of answering the question, he said.
"Our family has arranged this banquet at the will of the Queen Mother. Could it be that Eunuch Liu feels that our family is not qualified for this?"
Liu Jin shook his head and said.
"of course not."
Wang Dehai asked.
"Then why are you rushing to smash our house?"
A gloomy look appeared in Wang Dehai's eyes.
After all, he is an old man who has been in the palace all his life, and he has a deep background. When he got angry, the eunuchs scattered around Baifang Garden immediately looked at him.
His eyes were full of malice.
"Our family didn't smash the old ancestor's place, it's just that His Majesty has a life, let me come here to watch."
Liu Jin said.
On the surface, he was calm.
But in fact, I was very nervous.
After all, he was never a bold person.
Instead, he has always been timid.
Breaking into Baifang Garden and facing the malice of so many people alone is definitely a heart-pounding thing for him.
After all, Wang Dehai has accumulated power for many years, and to challenge him, Liu Jin really needs some courage.
"Then just keep an eye on it."
Wang Dehai said with a sneer.
However, a few people came up and looked at Liu Jin faintly, preventing him from acting rashly.
At this moment, Liu Jin was finally determined.
Not right!
Something is not right!
There is definitely a conspiracy!
At the same moment, in the banquet hall, the Queen Mother looked at the people dining, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Ai's family has not had a birthday for many years. After this year is over, I don't know when the next time will be."
"All ministers and workers came to celebrate the birthday of Aijia, and Aijia naturally cannot let you return empty-handed."
"Come on, get the Lingtai Immortal Brew from Aijia Palace and give it to all the adults to enjoy."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Ye Ning's brows also jumped.
"Have you finally made a move?".
