Chapter 41 Section 8 Embroidered Dragon Underpants

Wei Zhongxian didn't know why others couldn't laugh or cry, he felt good about himself.Because ever since he became the supervisor of ceremonies and took the pen, all he heard in his ears were praises for him, and all he saw in his eyes were flattering smiling faces like flowers.Like the previous chief eunuchs, he has a luxurious and magnificent mansion in the eastern part of the capital, and has countless servants. They are like roundworms in his belly, so clever and well-behaved, they understand his every preference and serve him Get comfortable all over. Every night when he returned to the mansion, a large number of various characters were waiting for his audience. They groveled and trembled, begging him to grant them some favors, or waiting for his judgment on their fate.

This feeling is really wonderful!For several months, Wei Zhongxian seemed to be flying through the clouds.Like a child, he carefully experienced his own dignity full of novelty, and tried to show off to the world, making people crazy. Just like the big money who suddenly became rich and burned money to show his wealth, Wei Zhongxian, who has just changed from humble to noble, does not miss any opportunity to show off.What's more, he is a rough and outgoing person. He especially likes to show off his ostentation, for fear that others will not know the magnificence of his power.Every time he travels, he has to "sit in the Wenxuan, with the green cover of the feather building, and the four horses fly like flying. The sound of cymbals, drums and dysprosiums, booming in the yellow dust. Those who hold knives in brocade clothes, jade belts, boots and trousers, gallop left and right. It may be exaggerated, but there is no doubt that there is no minister in history who travels as grandly as he does.

In terms of clothing, he must also do everything possible to show his special status.Usually he often wears a dragon robe. The dragon pattern is only one claw lower than that of the vassal king, and it is only slightly different in color from the emperor's crown.Even the underwear has to be embroidered with golden thread python dragons! Wei Zhongxian didn't have any presumptuous intentions, he was just a little simple-minded, and just wanted everyone to know that he was noble and unique. All of this just reflects the mediocrity of this person's aptitude.He doesn't even know the basics of avoidance.If he knew a little bit of history and read a little bit of books, he would know that nine out of ten eunuchs who held court handles in history did not end well.Not to mention far away, just take this dynasty as an example. About 150 years ago, the eunuch Wang Zhen, who had power all over the world, died on the battlefield. After his death, the whole family, including babies, were all killed.Liu Jin, the "emperor" about a hundred years ago, was even executed by Ling Chi, and more than 3,000 knives were cut alive!

Wei Zhongxian doesn't know history, and he doesn't want to know.He just wanted to bless the world, rain and dew the common people, so as to prove his ability.He worked with gusto, elation, and conscientiously.Every morning, he would get up early, listen to others read the document, and then he dictated his opinions, and it usually took a day to deal with it. Although tired, he felt extremely fulfilled.Unlike emptying the toilet, at this moment, he truly experienced the joy of work.In modern vocabulary, "He devoted all his energy to the Ming Dynasty."It's definitely not like the history books say, he wants to overthrow the world.He has never had such an idea that it is his vital interests to govern the world well.

However, the Donglin party members (a political group dominated by Jiangnan scholar-bureaucrats in the late Ming Dynasty) did not take this seriously.
