Xie E's dream speech was originally intended to attract Zhao Ji's attention, but he realized it so quickly. It was his first time meeting Zhao Ji face to face, which made Xie E so excited that he began to talk and behave seriously.

"Yes."

Xie E rubbed his eyes, and then muttered with his young and tender voice: "Didn't I die? "Imperial palace?" Me? Imperial study? Could it be that I went to heaven to meet the Jade Emperor? "

Xie E's voice was perfectly controlled, he was mumbling so softly that only Zhao Ji could hear him clearly, while the others could only hear a word or two, but this nonsense caused Zhao Ji to laugh out loud: "Haha, hahahaha..." Interesting brat, do you think I look like the Jade Emperor? "

/p p "I don't know."

Xie E answered straightforwardly. Zhao Ji's smile instantly became stiff.

"I've never seen the Jade Emperor before. If he's as amiable as you, then that's great."

The emperor, Zhao Ji, had been praised to the skies by Xie E. He was already grinning from ear to ear. Interesting. "Furthermore, your loyalty is commendable. It suits my heart to take back my Mo Bao.

Zhang Xin obviously didn't know where this Ninth Prince like Xie E came from, but as long as he wasn't Ninth Prince, then everyone's lives would be saved. He immediately asked for orders to go down to the palace to carefully inquire about the palace's eunuchs' registers.

Xie E had already made up a story about how Shiyong and Shi Yong entered the palace and were discovered by him. Then, he caught himself in the imperial study and tried to snatch back what he had stolen while the thieves were unprepared. However, he was killed by the vicious bandits and he still held onto the emperor's Mo Bao tightly even before he died.

These words were full of bullshit and contradictions, yet they were full of excitement. Zhao Ji praised him repeatedly with relish.

Tong Guan was adept at flattery. Seeing how the emperor doted on Xie E, he flattered him on the side.

Not long after, Zhang Xin returned, "Reporting to our Emperor, long live he is Xie. His name is Xi Da, and he is an orphan. He is a distant relative of the gardener in the backyard, Xie Kang. He has been following him for five years. Xie Kang passed away half a month ago, leaving only Eldest Xie in the backyard. Yesterday, the thieves set fire to the small house in the backyard. Now, Xie Xi is not on the list. "

/p p Sheehan?

" Xie E's dream speech was intended to attract Zhao Ji's attention, but the fact that they were able to meet face to face for the first time in such a short time caused Xie E to be so excited that he lost his composure.

Xie E was stunned. Since when did he become Ximen Qing's brother?

But that's not right. Wasn't Xie Xi Da in Qing He County?

How did he end up in the Imperial Palace and becoming a quasi eunuch?

While Xie E was lost in his thoughts, he heard Zhao Ji ask, "Thank you for listening to the imperial edict!"

Xie E hurriedly kowtowed nine times. Although this kowtow posture was very unorthodox, Zhao Ji looked very comical at the moment. He forced a smile and said: "The gardener Xie Xi Da has done a great service in defending against thieves and has been awarded the title of imperial bodyguard from the fourth rank. He entered the palace immediately and served the left and right. "One hundred pieces of brocade and one hundred pieces of gold."

For a small gardener, this was a huge reward.

A guard of the fourth rank was equivalent to a seventh rank county magistrate. Although it was just a title, it was well-known that it was accompanied by the emperor all year round.

As for the brocade and gold, Xie E did not put it in his eyes, "This subject thanks Master for his kindness!"

Seeing that this matter had come to an end, Zhao Ji no longer had any interest in writing calligraphy, and was exceptionally angry at Liang Shan's provocation.

After leaving the Heart Nurturing Palace, Zhao Ji asked Tong Guan, "If Liang Shan is so noisy, how can This Emperor live a peaceful life?"

Tong Guan said: "Although I am not talented, I am willing to protect a single person. If I send out a hundred thousand troops, I can definitely flatten the Liang Shan."

/p p "Oh?"

Zhao Ji really couldn't think of anyone under him that could kill those thieves.

The Grand Commandant of the Palace.

Tong Guan did his best to protect his reputation.

/p p "Gao Qiu?" "When this brat was young, he was indeed the best at playing football, but can he lead soldiers to war?"

Zhao Ji was the one who guided Gao Qiu. Zhao Ji was very clear about the capability of Gao Qiu.

" Xie E's dream speech was intended to attract Zhao Ji's attention, but the fact that they were able to meet face to face for the first time in such a short time caused Xie E to be so excited that he lost his composure.

Tong Guan recommended Gao Qiu out of selfishness.

It was imperative that the imperial government send its troops and Liang Shan to pacify the chaos; however, all military expenditures were the right of a commander.

Although Tong Guan had come back defeated, his wallet was full to the brim. Compared to being cheap to others, he might as well get a job for Gao Qiu and owe him a favor in the future.

Zhao Ji immediately summoned Gao Qiu, and after Gao Qiu heard this, he passionately made a speech, and then bid farewell to Zhao Ji.

However, Xie E had followed Chief Eunuch Zhang Xin to the Taiyi Palace and arranged a new residence. It was spacious and bright, with everything available inside. It was simply incomparable to the dilapidated house in the backyard.

Zhang Xin was jealous: He had been in the palace for dozens of years and had never been like Xie E.

From a fourth rank official in the inner court, he was almost on equal footing with a fourth rank Hall Eunuch like himself.

Xie E took out 20 gold taels and passed it to Zhang Xin, "Thank you for your guidance, Eunuch Zhang. This is just a small matter, not worthy of respect. In the future, you will have to depend more on your father-in-law for your service in the palace, and I hope that Your Eminence can accept you with a smile. "

Zhang Xin immediately beamed. Twenty taels of gold is not a small amount of income. It's rare for Xie E to be so tactful and tactful. Zhang Xin said, "Thank you brother. If there's anything in the palace that you aren't used to, feel free to ask." "Although we don't have much power, we can still make decisions for small matters like these."

/p p "Very good, this one thanks eunuch first."

Xie E really saluted Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin was concerned about Xie E's future. At this moment, it was better to get close to him rather than suffer a loss.

A few days later, Zhang Xin and Xie E became old friends.
