On the surface, the Tang Dynasty seems to be prosperous and splendid, but in fact, many crises and hidden dangers have emerged behind the scenes.
Among them, the Ten Eunuchs who ruled the country from behind the curtain were the biggest thorn in the hearts of civil and military officials.
The ten eunuchs, the Ten Attendants, all had looks so stunning that they could make the moon hide in shame and the flowers sink to shame, and they were born with the appearance of both male and female. Each of them had red lips and white teeth, and was as beautiful as a crown of jade. When ordinary people saw them, they would inevitably feel a stir in their hearts, and inexplicably have some thoughts that they were too embarrassed to speak of.
Some people began to suspect whether the emperor had a homosexual preference, but no one knew whether this was true, and it became a mystery in the palace.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was obsessed with beauty all day long and had no interest in state affairs. He even did not attend court for several months. He was really like a drunk on the lap of a beauty, and had no time to control the world when he was awake.
All memorials and trivial matters were handed over to the ten eunuchs who served him personally.
Anyone who wanted to reach the emperor's ears had to pass through the Ten Attendants. In this way, how could the power in the hands of the Ten Attendants not grow?
In order to facilitate the approval of the appropriation memorials, some corrupt officials even secretly invited the Ten Eunuchs to a banquet to get the imperial seal on them, thus skipping the emperor's approval and taking money directly from the national treasury.
In this way, he naturally had a handle and had to go along with the Ten Attendants, getting on the pirate ship and becoming grasshoppers on the same rope.
At the same time, the Ten Attendants also sent people to secretly collect evidence on officials, forcing more ministers to defect to them.
Over time, the eunuch power headed by the Ten Attendants became extremely powerful and had many roots. Apart from Lin Po and the military generals, no one in the court could compete with it.
But the Ten Eunuchs were not satisfied with this. They colluded with the officials of all ranks under the emperor and asked him to announce an imperial decree that eunuchs could also serve as officials. Then they began to send eunuchs to serve as officials in the thirty-six states of the Tang Dynasty.
From the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and high officials,
From the provincial governor to the prefectural governor, the city governor, the county magistrate, and the pavilion chief, there were eunuchs who were demoted.
If the military had not been so tough and had not sacrificed with blood any eunuch who dared to serve as an officer, the Tang Dynasty would now have eunuchs in charge of military power.
There were also many loyal officials in the court who secretly sent assassins, or loyal and righteous knights in the martial arts world who sneaked into the palace to assassinate the Ten Attendants and restore the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
But all those who went there eventually died in the imperial city. Not to mention assassinating the Ten Attendants, they couldn't even touch the corners of their clothes.
Later, someone discovered that there was a sect called "Wu Gen Men" behind the Ten Attendants. It was because of the secret protection of the masters of this sect that the Ten Attendants could sleep soundly in the imperial city without any threat of assassination.
After listening to Bai Hao's words, Qin Yuesheng was deeply moved, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Before this, he had no idea that the Tang Dynasty was in such a precarious state. If the Ten Eunuchs were allowed to secretly control the Tang Dynasty, this country would probably not be able to go far.
However, no matter how much he felt emotional, Qin Yuesheng could not do anything. He was just an ordinary young master. The Ten Attendants were powerful in the court and had a mysterious martial arts sect protecting them in secret. Comparing Qin Yuesheng with them, the difference was like that between an ant and an elephant.
"What I just said to you, you should keep it in your heart and know it to yourself. There is no need to publicize it to avoid getting into trouble."
Qin Yuesheng nodded: "Don't worry, sir, I understand."
"Okay, enough of the small talk. Let me assess the quality of your mission."
Bai Hao took his iron evil-repelling toad from the table and brought it close to the woman in the sack.
As the toad approached the woman, the glazed disc on its back instantly changed. A straight line of red light emerged from the inside of the disc and began to move.
Starting from the first character 'one', slowly move on to the next character, 'ten'.
Finally, the red light stopped at a position less than ten. Qin Yuesheng looked up at Bai Hao and asked, "Is that all?"
Bai Hao responded, "It depends."
"Then how long will it take for me to exchange for a bottle of rare pills?"
"Don't be impatient. You should learn the principle of accumulating little by little to build a great deal. It's okay. I'll write it down for you this time and report it to the Seven Stars Prison for registration. Once you've collected over a hundred, you can still exchange it for what you want."
Bai Hao took out a booklet from his arms and immediately picked up a brush to write on it.
Qin Yuesheng took a quick look and saw content like 'Qin Yuesheng 8 points'.
He couldn't help but ask, "Master Bai, does our Seven Stars Prison registration method rely entirely on pen and paper?"
Bai Hao glanced sideways: "What else?"
"Isn't there some jade plaque or jade tube with relevant information recorded inside, and words and numbers will appear when we touch it?"
"Do you think the Seven Star Supervisor is an immortal who has descended to earth? How could such a thing exist in this world?" Bai Hao finished writing, blew the ink dry, and stuffed the booklet back into his arms.
"Then, sir, I'll leave now if you're alright. I've been out for two days, so it's time to go back home and report to my parents that I'm safe."
"Do you still want this?" Bai Hao asked, pointing at the woman's half body on the ground.
Qin Yuesheng was about to shake his head, but suddenly he remembered the heart of the demon that had brought him 5,000 points of almighty essence, and he said inexplicably, "I'll take this spider's heart, and I don't want the others."
"what ever."
After cutting off the thick nerves connecting the heart to the woman's body, Qin Yuesheng wrapped the spider's heart in a sack, then said goodbye to Bai Hao and left the yamen.
…
Qin Yuesheng felt very at home as he had not been back to the Qin Mansion for two days. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Er Niang preparing to go out with several guards and maids.
