For a greedy eunuch like Zhang Rang, as long as the money was paid, they could sell everything.
Even eighteen generations of ancestors.
Not to mention an official position in the imperial court.
Just a day later, Chen Xiao received the news sent by Zhang Rang.
Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong had summoned him to the West Garden!
The West Garden was the palace that Liu Hong had spent a lot of money to build. Not only did it occupy a huge area, but it was also extremely luxurious.
Ever since it was built, Liu Hong had spent more time here than in the palace.
When they arrived at the West Park, Zhang Rang greeted them at the entrance.
"How can I trouble you to wait here…"
Chen Xiao was " flattered ", but he knew very well that Zhang Rang looked at him as if he was looking at a walking leek field.
In this eunuch's eyes, the Zhen family of Wuji was a target that he could exploit at any time in the future.
"No worries!"
"I'm worried that Young Master Chen doesn't understand the rules of the palace since it's your first time meeting the Emperor," Zhang Rang greeted him with a smile.”
Chen Xiao naturally had no objections.
The two of them talked as they walked. After walking for a long time, they arrived at the garden where Liu Hong was.
Although it was called a garden, it was impossible to see the end of it. In front of Liu Hong was a huge pool of water. The water was clear and was drawn from the ditches that surrounded the West Garden. There was a lotus flower that was as big as a cover and more than ten feet tall.
As the West Park that Liu Hong had spent a huge sum of money to build, digging a canal to divert water was naturally not worth mentioning.
It was normal for West Park to be luxurious.
However, what made Chen Xiao dumbfounded was that in the pool, there were actually palace maids playing with each other naked!
The sound of splashing water and laughter spread far and wide!
"F * ck! It's only spring now. Aren't these palace maids cold?”
" Is this water f * cking hot?!"
Chen Xiao, who had experienced countless baptisms, could not help but be dumbfounded at this moment. She could only sigh at the happiness of being an emperor. Ordinary commoners could not even dream of it.
He only took a glance and immediately lowered his head!
Zhang Rang's extremely low voice sounded in her ear,""This kind of lotus flower is a tribute from the south. The lotus leaves are relaxed at night and curled during the day, so it's called the Night Shu Lotus.”
Was this the main point?
I want you to introduce this?
Chen Xiao ridiculed in her heart. She glanced at Zhang Rang and saw that he was also lowering his head and not looking at the palace maids at all.
" As expected, Liu Hong doesn't care if these palace maids 'bodies were seen by others, but as a eunuch, Zhang Rang is still very self-aware…"
Chen Xiao was speechless and stopped at the same time as Zhang Rang.
He didn't move forward.
As a famous fatuous ruler in history, Liu Hong's " sex " was obviously not bad, but it was not to the point where he would rush into the pool when he was faced. He stood by the pool and quietly watched a group of beauties play in the water. Soon, he felt bored and turned around to walk over.
"You're the son-in-law of the Zhen family?”
The moment he saw Chen Xiao, the Great Han Emperor's eyes revealed a hint of jealousy.""As expected, you have a good appearance. No wonder the Zhen family took a fancy to you.”
Chen Xiao pretended not to hear this.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
He bowed respectfully. His standard of etiquette made even Zhang Rang look askance.
"Father said you want to buy an official position?"
A young eunuch brought the dragon throne over and Liu Hong sat on it naturally.""Since you want to buy an official position, you should be clear about the prices of the various official positions that I have set, right?”
Liu Hong sold his official position and publicly announced it to the world.
From the inner marquis to the Huben, Yulin and other official positions under Guangluxun, there were clear prices.
An official position with a rank of 2000 koku required 20 million yuan.
An official position with a rank of 1000 dan would cost 10 million.
A rank of 400 stones would cost four million.
He didn't sell the lower official positions because there were too many. Liu Hong was too lazy to waste his energy and didn't care about the small amount of money.
This was the price of an official.
The price of a local official was doubled.
In the four hundred years of the Great Han Dynasty, it was the first time an Emperor had done this. In his court, even the position of the three dukes with a rank of ten thousand stones could be bought.
Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, spent a whole 100 million to become a marshal!
However, he was dismissed last year.
Of course, Chen Xiao did not think of buying the position of the three dukes, because it was meaningless.
He looked at Liu Hong and didn't keep him in suspense. He went straight to the point and said," I heard that last year, Minister Liu Yan suggested that His Majesty abolish the provincial governor and replace him with a governor. His Majesty has already agreed…"
As soon as he said that, Liu Hong's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
Zhang Rang also looked at Chen Xiao in surprise.”
State animal husbandry, salary 2,000 stone.
Because he was a local official, the price was twice as high as that of a court official.
However, it was only 40 million yuan.
Liu Hong had also sold an official position at a higher price.
However, he was still a little surprised. Firstly, the imperial edict to change the provincial governor to the governor had just been confirmed, and the imperial court had not even had the time to select the first governor.
Secondly, before this, no one had dared to blatantly buy such an official position!
The Prefecture Overseer was an official of the border!
His power was far greater than the provincial governor!
Not only did he have the power to govern the country, but he also had the military power. He was equivalent to a local emperor!
"You're just a commoner and have never been an official before. How dare you ask for an exorbitant price and want to be the Prefecture Overseer of a prefecture?!”
