Weng Tonghe is a close minister around the two empress dowagers. As the leader of Qingliu, he was absolutely loyal to the Qing Dynasty. The Manchus wanted to rule hundreds of millions of people, but they could not do without the praises of Qingliu people. Therefore, no matter how big the style Li Lianying was, he dared not use it with the old man.

"This is what I said... Lord Weng, who will follow us? Just say..."

"Daddy! Could it be that my eyes are blurred? I remember when I first entered the hall, the yellow curtain was obviously opened? Why did it hang down when I looked back now? Did you just put it down? Or did I really have to go to the Taishu Hospital for my eyes?"

With a gurgle, it was Li Lianying swallowing a big saliva. He was so scared that he stuttered, "I, I... I said, Lord Weng? The family didn't offend you, right? Don't take my life..."

"How big is the rules in the palace? There is a difference between the inside and outside. The yellow curtain actually represents a palace wall! How can we not let it go? If we forget all this, we might as well be sent to the moat and burned to death? Don't scare me..."

Li Lianying didn't know why Weng Tonghe was saying such things. Even though this eunuch was well versed in the way of balance and was very good at adapting to changes, he had no plans for such emergencies in his mind.

He completely shocked the old man. He could hear the subtext of the officials in the court saying something casually, but he really couldn't guess what the old man said today.

The old man was also afraid of it. He suddenly realized something, "Maybe there are really ghosts in this Forbidden City!" Today is an unknown day. Shi Dakai, who had been cut into pieces, was actually resurrected from the dead. Then he encountered a supernatural incident in the Yangxin Palace. Is it because the Qing dynasty is not lucky enough? I can't suppress these evil spirits anymore?

Weng Tonghe was sure that Li Lianying would not lie. The eunuchs in the palace, especially the big eunuchs, were very careful every step they took, because countless people were trying to climb up on his body, and forgot to put down the curtain of rule behind the curtain, which was a complete crime of beheading.

The only explanation now is to think about supernatural events. Confucian scholars actually believe in ghosts and gods. Didn’t Confucius just say that ghosts and gods exist without ignoring them. Confucius’s meaning is very clear, which is to tell his students that ghosts and gods exist, but the monarch does not have to be afraid of them. He does not have to discuss it. He will respect you if he is good at doing things right.

Confucian thoughts and theories are still about cultivating, that is, to be upright. Weng Tonghe firmly believes that if a person has noble morality and can be in a dark room without any worries, ghosts and gods will salute him when they see him.

This is how people live. When they are young, ghosts and gods dare not approach them. Once they are old and have no virtue, ghosts and monsters will come to their door.

The same is true for a country. When the dynasty is booming, all kinds of evil spirits naturally dare not cause trouble, but once the energy becomes weaker, many evil things will gradually increase.

For example... the heroine will harm the country, or see the spirits and monsters during the day, etc.!

Weng Tonghe took Li Lianying's hand and pretended to be calm and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, today I'm just dazzled. I'll take a detour to the Imperial Hospital to take a look..."

"Well, I'm very curious about one thing. I heard the people at home gossip... They said that there are often haunted things in the Forbidden City. Is it true?"

"Don't blame me, father-in-law, I asked casually today. I have been very touched by Ji Xiaolan's "Notes on Yuewei Caotang" recently!"

Who is Li Lianying? He is the monkey when he puts his tail on it! He knows that Weng Tonghe must be hiding something, but he also knows that he and Weng Tonghe have no grudges, and even often help each other, so he is not too suspicious.

"Hey... sir, you are a sage book and you don't pay attention to this kind of thing on weekdays, but the person we work in the palace has never heard of such a story?"

"Do you know? The middle of the West Six Palace often happens... Sometimes when there are lightning, thunder and rainy weather, some people have seen eunuchs and palace maids wearing front court clothes lined up and saw you laughing at you..."

"Also, every time it's the fifteenth day of the lunar month, you must not go to the well water... Sometimes it is a dry well, but at that time it turns out a pool of water, and those reflections on the water surface are not your shadow..."

"Don't mention, there are too many such things in the palace... I heard from the older generation that in the Ming Dynasty, there were two cars of dead bodies pulled out of the harem every day. At that time, the masters in the palace called the slaves and beat and scold them. A small mistake would cost people's lives!"

"This is better for our country, but our family is big and the eunuchs are only 20,000 people in the Forbidden City. It's okay to live together so many people, so it's okay to have no rules? So it's not surprising to kill a few disobedient people to make mistakes!"

Listening to Li Lianying's nagging, Weng Tong and his head were dizzy. In the end, he didn't know how he walked out of the Palace of Harmony. When he stood on the streets of Waiting Tian, ​​blowing the cold wind from the northwest, he finally made up his mind that these ghost stories must be broken in his heart and must not be promoted to the outside world.

"A dynasty! If you can't even suppress a little ghost, then there is really no need to exist..."

As the sun sets, the old man's figure is pulled long and looks very lonely... Zhang Jing and others on duty in the Military Affairs Office are joking around Yang Zhi, and are still clamoring for him to treat him to drink.

Yang Zhi gradually integrated into the court. He had a very speculative conversation with Zhang Jing, who was named Li Tuo. After a while, the two made an appointment to get together for two drinks. Li Tuo was very clear about the rules inside and outside the court. This was what Yang Zhi needed. As a rising star, Yang Zhi also needed to borrow as Zhang Jing.

Both sides took their own needs, and the scene was really happy.

At the inner warehouse and the tea warehouse next to the right door behind, several eunuchs were gathering together to count the accounts. Looking at their wretched smiles, Weng Tonghe understood that there were countless treasures in the warehouse that were secretly sold out. This was a smile of sharing the spoils.

At the east end of the Taihe Palace Square, three or four court officials were whispering and walking southwards. Perhaps in these words, several official positions in the Ministry of Revenue were sold, and several treasures from Liulichang were replaced with new owners.

They were all so dreamy and so unrealistic. Even the imperial guards who stood up straight and looked squinting suddenly became evil.

Who knows what these guards who are loyal and righteous on the surface are thinking at the moment? Who can guarantee that their hearts are loyal to the court?

The Meridian Gate was already behind the old man. The housekeeper in front of the sedan chair opened the cotton curtain, and the warm heat came to his face. The old man did not go in directly but looked back at the towering Wufeng Tower and sighed in his heart.

"It's really old! This empire is really old!" (To be continued)
