Chapter 1139 1134 [What will it be like in a hundred years? 】(2/2)
Zhu Guoxiang's eunuch is over fifty years old.
He was a little transparent in the court of the former Song Dynasty, but he suddenly became a personal attendant of the emperor (Zhu Guoxiang). Although he had no power after leaving the palace, he was still grateful and loyal to Zhu Guoxiang.
After so many years, the relationship between Zhu Guoxiang and this old eunuch was even deeper than that of some of the emperor's grandsons whom he had never met.
There were also two female officers who also served Zhu Guoxiang for many years.
The current rule of the Ming Dynasty royal family is that when the palace maids reach a certain age, they can leave the palace and go home to marry. They can continue to work if they want, and these people can be gradually promoted to female officials and responsible for a few management affairs in the palace.
The two female officials beside Zhu Guoxiang were both palace maids of the former Song Dynasty.
They could no longer find their relatives and did not know how to live among the people, so they stayed and grew old.
It sounds a little inhumane.
But if they were asked to marry ordinary people, they would still look down on it. Because they are not ordinary palace maids, but high-level female officials around the Supreme Emperor!
Not only do you have class, you can even receive a pension.
"Xiao Zhong, your hometown is in Shandong, right?" Zhu Guoxiang said suddenly.
The accompanying eunuch replied: "It was on the East and West Road of Beijing in the former Song Dynasty, not far from the Yellow River."
Zhu Guoxiang asked: "What do you think of Ming Dynasty?"
The accompanying eunuch smiled and said: "It was a great and prosperous age. Although I can't remember the events of my childhood, I have some vague memories. At that time, the Yellow River burst its banks and flooded, and my whole family fled. My parents died of illness and starvation. Our elders died of illness and starvation.
The people of the Yellow River, Shandong, and Hebei will definitely live a good life if they live in the Meiji period."
"Do you want to go back to your hometown? I'll give you a holiday." Zhu Guoxiang asked.
The accompanying eunuch said: "There is no one at home for a long time. The Yellow River has also changed its course and flooded through our village. Even if we return to the village, we may not be able to find our ancestors' graves."
Zhu Guoxiang asked again: "What do you think Ming Dynasty will look like in another hundred years?"
The accompanying eunuch thought for a while and replied: "Super majestic Han Tang."
Zhu Guoxiang walked up to the pavilion window, and when he opened the window, he could see the West Lake.
The cold wind in late autumn was blowing, and the lake was sparkling. Zhu Guoxiang looked at the ships in the distance in a daze.
