"You want to enter the palace to serve the emperor and the nobles?”
In the recruitment office outside the palace wall of Yan Capital, an old eunuch who was in charge of recruiting new people into the palace said to Tian Boguang in a sharp voice that did not distinguish between male and female, He was not an ordinary eunuch. Tian Boguang could feel the aura of a martial artist from him. Although his strength was not too high, it was equivalent to his current third-rate master's strength.
It could only be said that this was indeed a world where martial arts were respected. Not only were there many martial artists in the martial world, but there were also many experts in the imperial palace, which belonged to the imperial government.? But thinking about it, this was normal. If the imperial court only relied on the army and did not have the protection of experts, then the army would not be able to guard the palace forever. Any expert in the martial arts world could enter the palace and take the emperor's life. If that was the case, how could the imperial court supervise the martial arts world and rule the world?
"Replying to Eunuch Gong, this one has always been grateful for the Emperor's great kindness, but as a commoner, I have no way to repay it. Thus, I want to be closer to the Emperor and serve the Emperor more. Being able to serve the Emperor and the noble people in the Palace has always been this one's dream!”
Hearing this, Tian Boguang immediately expressed his loyalty and said that entering the palace as a eunuch was his lofty ideal. Although he felt a little nauseous hearing it, he was willing to go all out in order to enter the palace smoothly. Moreover, this old eunuch was obviously very satisfied with Tian Boguang's words. He kept nodding and revealing a smile that gave Lin Sheng goosebumps.
"Good, good, good! For you to have such thoughts, it can be considered that you are loyal to the Emperor and Great Ming. However, this loyalty is commendable and I admire it very much. However, this rule could not be broken. If one wanted to enter the palace to serve the Emperor and the nobles, one must first look handsome. Seeing that one was also a handsome person, one could pass the test. However, there's still a condition that you can't reach the age of a crown. Looking at you, you must be at least in your twenties, right?”
The old eunuch said to Tian Boguang with a regretful expression. The so-called crown was twenty years old. The requirements for recruiting eunuchs in the Imperial Palace were that they were not yet twenty years old and had a handsome appearance. Otherwise, if they were ugly, wouldn't it affect the mood of the Emperor and the imperial concubines?
Although Tian Boguang was framed for having the reputation of a rapist, he was still handsome and could be considered a rare handsome man. His appearance was completely qualified. However, this Tian Boguang was already twenty-three or twenty-four years old, which was far beyond the age standard.
"Eunuch, please make an exception. In order to enter the palace to serve the emperor, I have already made up my mind. Before I came, I had already removed my descendants and completed my castration. This lowly one does not want to make things difficult for Eunuch Gong. This is the only money this lowly one has left. Thinking that after entering the Imperial Palace, I will wholeheartedly serve the Emperor, so these worldly possessions will not be of use. Just treat it as filial piety to Eunuch Gong. Eunuch Gong, please see that I have a sincere heart and can make an exception!”
Tian Boguang immediately put on a pleading look and took out the only silver he had on him and handed it to the old eunuch.
"Oh? So that's the case. Since that's the case, seeing that you've already lost your temper and are indeed loyal to the Emperor, I'll make an exception and queue up over there!”
The old eunuch quietly accepted the silver that Tian Boguang handed over. Then, he reached out and touched Tian Boguang's lower body. After confirming that he had gone to the eunuch's back, he revealed a satisfied attitude and allowed Lin Cheng to pass. He went to the side to queue up and accept the arrangements at the back.
After being touched by him, Tian Boguang endured the humiliation in his heart. There was no other way. This world was like this. Without strength, if you wanted to become stronger, not only did you have to have opportunities, but you also had to have a heart that endured humiliation. In terms of opportunities, he had already given the Xuanyuan Bible to Tian Boguang. Whether he could become stronger in the future would depend on whether he had the heart to become a strong person.
A little forbearance would ruin a great plan. Being able to tolerate what ordinary people could not tolerate was often a necessary quality for a person to become a strong person.
Tian Boguang was not the only one who wanted to enter the palace. There were already more than ten men and women lining up at the side. The men were like Tian Boguang, who wanted to enter the palace as eunuchs, while the women were palace maids. Judging from their attire, most of them were teenagers from poor families. Other than being unable to live, no one would want to be a eunuch.
Very soon, it was Tian Boguang's turn to register. This was a registration point set up outside the palace gates. Two eunuchs were responsible for registering here. According to some specific circumstances, these eunuchs and palace maids were assigned to different palaces in the palace. After all, the palace was so big that there were many departments with different functions. These needed to be properly arranged and managed, or else there would be chaos.
" Name?" The eunuch in charge of recording asked after glancing at Tian Boguang. There was a book on the table in front of him that was specially used for level information.
" Lin Yu." Tian Boguang used the name he used before he transmigrated. He did not dare to use Tian Boguang's name. After all, Tian Boguang's notoriety had already spread throughout Great Ming after poisoning Mount Heng. If he was exposed, he would not be safe even in the Imperial Palace.
"Age!"
"Seventeen!"
"Seventeen? You look like you're already 27, right?”
The eunuch said disdainfully after taking a look. Then, he continued to write down the number seventeen on the notebook. Tian Boguang only smiled awkwardly and did not refute. After all, this was an obvious matter. There was no need to cover his ears and steal the bell. Moreover, the eunuch did not continue to pester him.
"Do you have any specialties?"
"My family has been practicing medicine for generations, and I've also been to the clinic before, so I have some expertise in medicine.”
Tian Boguang immediately put on a surprised expression and said. Before he transmigrated, he had just graduated from medical school with a major in acupuncture. Now, in the Xuanyuan Bible in his mind, other than absorbing Yin Qi to cultivate, there was also knowledge about medicine. He could be considered to have made some achievements in the path of medicine. Speaking of it now would undoubtedly be of great benefit to his life in the palace. After all, skilled talents were more popular than ordinary people no matter where they were.
"You know medicine? Xiao Dezi, test him!" The eunuch in charge of recording was also a little surprised when he heard this. He immediately called a young eunuch beside him to come over and test Tian Boguang.
The eunuch called Xiao Dezi also had some superficial knowledge of medicine. He only asked some common sense questions. For Tian Boguang, who had advanced knowledge, it was naturally not a problem. Therefore, he successfully passed the test of whether he knew medicine or not.
"Alright, consider yourself lucky. Go to the Imperial Academy of Medicine!”
The eunuch who was in charge of recording took another note, then took out a token with the word 'doctor' written on it and handed it to Lin Cheng. After that, Lin Cheng went to the side and entered the palace with the other eunuchs. They still had to go to the bathroom.
