"My home is not far from Xiling. It is a very ordinary child in a mountain valley. There are only a few vegetable fields at home. When I grow vegetables on weekdays, my parents have to rent a few acres of land to farm..."

"A family like ours is fragile like mosquitoes in summer. A little bit of trouble will cause family death. My father will become sick after farming and overwork. My mother really can't support me, so she has to let me be a eunuch after being stabbed..."

"Haha... I was so old at that time, and I didn't know what it meant to be hit by this knife. My childhood memory was just one word... Hungry!"

"I'm hungry... I've been fighting since I was a child and I've been looking for food. I've run on the ground flying in the sky and growing in the grass. I've tried almost anything..."

"Later I heard that if you cut the peeing place with just one knife, you can get the rest of your life without starving! I wish I could cut it off with a kitchen knife..."

Zaichun only knew that Ermao said that before he entered the palace, he asked Xiao Letian to save his life from Eunuch Zheng, but it was the first time he heard Ermao talk about what happened before Ermao was cleansed up.

He asked when he was a child, but Ermao was still very afraid of the strict rules in the Forbidden City at that time. He would never dare to tell the little emperor the real darkness of the folk, and could only talk about the good side of the pastoral scenery.

Tell me about interesting things when I was grazing sheep for the landlord's family, such as having a prank, hiding sheep dung eggs in black dates to deceive the landlord's family into eating.

There are also fireflies catching in summer, fishing in the river, and various birds and animals in the mountains...

Ermao was Zaichun's first window when he understood the people, but at that time Ermao was painted with dyed glass, which he automatically filtered out a lot of darkness for Zaichun.

Today, Ermao doesn’t want to hide it. “There is no way out for children from poor families. Do you know at least what standards should children who can study?”

"At least, children who study should have five acres of land at home. They are self-cultivated farmers and their family cannot have too many people. Only then can parents support a child to study!"

"It is said that reading changes destiny, but your Majesty, you know that the price of a brush in our countryside can be exchanged for half a pocket of sweet potatoes!"

"We actually have no way to go in our lives. Self-castration and exchange for food in the palace. At that time, it was actually a very cost-effective business!"

"But unexpectedly, if a furry child wants to enter the palace, I have encountered the exploitation of the old eunuch. I will only say five taels of silver! Your Majesty, haha... If my family still has five taels of silver, would it be a eunuch?"

Ermao shook his head, "I'm not complaining about anything, it's all over, and I'm not complaining to His Majesty. Actually, what I want to say is that I'm so miserable, I'm still lucky to compare with my childhood friends!"

"The brother of the Liu family who grew up with me and herd sheep later heard that his family was sold to a coal mine in Shanxi to dig coal!"

"My sister, four years older than me, has a big black braid, and she has a good tortilla that I put on at that time... What's the end? Hahaha..."

"In order to buy a wedding gift for her brother and build a house... she sold it to the city as a concubine!"

"Where is a concubine... I later sent someone to inquire. My sister next door was actually sold to the eight major hutongs in the capital. Her parents were afraid of being embarrassed and afraid that others would stab their backbone, so they said they were a concubine!"

"Now I have a number one figure in the capital... How many people did I mobilize to find this sister? I haven't found it, I can't see anyone alive or die or die..."

"Your Majesty, don't believe in any rude words in the prosperous era... As for the things that happened in the Iron Factory in the Capital, the Qing Dynasty is happening every day. Don't think I'm an alarmist!"

Zai Chun's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and retorted, "Aren't that bad either, right?"

"Hahaha... Your Majesty! I am lucky to fly to the sky and see the scenery at a higher level. What can the people at the bottom of the country see?"

"If you don't believe it, then please ask the Ministry of Revenue to transfer the file. How many times did Yixian exempt money and food from floods and droughts during the Daoguang period?"

"I have checked it before. After I was born, the court actually waived three times... Why haven't our family ever been there?"

"No matter whether it is flood or drought, the government forces the personnel who pay the grain to go to the village again and again. The landlord Lao Cai in the village will force us to take out the food!"

"Hahaha... Where did you think these money and food that forced people to death?"

"The court has exempted it, but the place still accepts it. Who dares not give it? I remember that there were several landlords in the next town who joined forces with a few scholars and wanted to go to the capital to complain..."

"But these people were captured by the Xiling guards before they left the territory of Yi County. They said that they had robbed trees in the imperial tomb and secretly communicated with bandits... In the end, the two of them lost their heads, and the others were also sent to be exiled!"

"Why can the guards of Xiling interfere in the civil affairs? Do you think they have any money from it? Why is the second master Lian, who tried to steal Mrs. Hu Niuhu back then, so rich?"

"Your Majesty! This Qing Dynasty is ten thousand times darker than you think. Do you really think the world is peaceful?"

In the Forbidden City, only Ermao, a stranger, dared to talk to the emperor like this, without any affection, making Zai Chun speechless, his face turned pale and red!

"You...what do you mean to let me do it strictly?"

Ermao smiled bitterly and said, "Wrong... I don't mean that. I told Your Majesty these things, but the purpose is actually the opposite. I don't want Your Majesty to strictly investigate!"

"Haha...because I don't want Your Majesty to be defeated by those people in the end! You should know that their power is too great, and they are not one or two people at all..."

"Your Majesty! You are still young, you are still young... You really can't beat them now!"

Ermao really showed his friend's warmth today to persuade Zaichun, "I don't want to flatter, I don't want to say beautiful words to Your Majesty... I just want to tell Your Majesty that you have to wait and stay patiently..."

"You can't always get into danger, luck alone won't do it!"

Zai Chun's face was stunned, and gradually became a little ugly. "You...have you always thought that I have come to this day by luck? That's how you view me?"

Ermao heard the emperor's anger but he didn't want to give in. He wanted to tell the truth. "That's right! Your Majesty, you won the struggle again and again, relying on six points is luck!"

"The opponents you face are always unsuccessful and unsuccessful in killing you! You must know that the conservative forces in the court are much more powerful than you think!"

"Do you know? Every time I feel sad for His Majesty! It's so lucky..."

"Enough!" Zai Chun said irritably, "Why don't you even believe me? It doesn't matter if others question me, why are you questioning me?"

"What is wrong with me? After I took power, I implemented industrial plans, won a great victory in the Northwest, and Tsarist Russia and France retreated... to attract funds from other countries..."

"This gives me plenty of financial resources to reform and train the new army!"

"The new army of the Imperial Army, the Guiller Horse, and the adapted Xishan Camp are all powerful troops in my hands! Isn't all this real achievement?"

"In your eyes, this is all luck? This is luck? You disappoint me so much... You go and rest, you don't need to serve here!"

Zaichun suddenly became angry and didn't allow Ermao to speak, so he bombarded him out.
