In the future, historians will only record that Fang Zhiyi was incompetent and associated with the lowest eunuchs, enjoying himself all day long, while he, Sima Ci, presided over the government, turned the tide, and left his name in history!
"Your Majesty, it's up to you." Sima Ci made up his mind. What kind of trouble could a bunch of eunuchs cause? Moreover, many of them were working for him with their own money.
Fang Zhiyi heaved a sigh of relief, but a look of surprise remained on his face: "Really? Thank you so much, Teacher!"
As a result, on the same day, when Sima Ci returned home, he received a tip-off that the emperor had fallen into the water while playing with the eunuchs and had fallen ill.
Sima Ci frowned. Doesn’t Fang Zhiyi love to play too much?
Soon after, a letter was delivered to him. Fang Zhiyi wrote that he was so happy that he accidentally fell into the water. He probably wouldn't be able to attend court for a while, so he asked his father-in-law to take good care of him, blah blah blah. Half of the letter was flattery.
There is no one who doesn't like to hear nice words. Although Sima Ci knew that Fang Zhiyi was a flatterer, he felt comfortable when he was flattered. In his opinion, Fang Zhiyi was still a sensible person. He knew who to rely on to live longer.
From that day on, the harem became much quieter. Sima Ci also went to visit Fang Zhiyi. Seeing how sick he looked, Sima Ci felt a little worried. This was the best man he could find in recent days. He hoped he would not die. He then arranged for many imperial doctors to go and see the emperor.
The spies in the palace also spread the news. Fang Zhiyi was bored lying in bed, so he discussed with several eunuchs how to arrange work. Then his personal eunuch Fu Hai became the head eunuch. Yes, the name is the head eunuch, in charge of all eunuchs. He was afraid that Fu Hai would be too busy, so he assigned two deputies to Fu Hai, and then selected a few people and arranged them for the positions of executive officials. To put it bluntly, they were responsible for finding places or organizing people to accompany the emperor to play. Next were the attendant eunuchs, whose duties were the same as those of the eunuchs, and below them were ordinary eunuchs.
Sima Ci just laughed after hearing this. This emperor was indeed a little silly and cute. Fortunately, he was not cruel, otherwise future history books would definitely say that he was the most incompetent emperor in history!
Fang Zhiyi knew that he had taken the most difficult step.
The newly appointed eunuchs standing before him were selected by Fu Hai, so they could be said to be trustworthy. After he rewarded them with a few things from the palace, these eunuchs were so excited that they knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Master, what should we do next?" Fu Hai asked in a low voice.
Fang Zhiyi sighed: "I have to endure it from now on."
The eunuchs in the palace also have holidays. Those who live nearby will go back to visit, while those who live far away can only go shopping on the streets and buy some things.
But this time, three of the eunuchs who went out had serious expressions on their faces.
They took the reward given to them by the emperor, found an antique shop to sell it, and then went their separate ways.
When someone knocked on Wei Xun's door, he was a little surprised. He was even more surprised when he saw a eunuch standing at the door. Although the man was wearing common people's clothes, he often walked around in the palace and he knew that he must be a eunuch. But he was just a small captain of the Imperial Guards. Why would a eunuch come to him?
"Sir Wei, my master sent me to give you some rewards." The eunuch didn't say anything else, put down the silver and left, completely ignoring Wei Xun who was holding the silver in a daze.
The same thing happened to the other two families, but they were all confused.
At this time in the palace, Fang Zhiyi was looking at the booklet in front of him. With these eunuchs, he was finally no longer in the dark. The eunuchs were spread throughout the palace, and they knew everything, big or small, including gossip.
