What do you think when you see the "eunuch" in the introduction?
Why write about eunuchs?
Why write about eunuchs?
Your question is the reason.
In the eleventh year of Yongle, Zheng He made his fourth voyage to the West.
Pei Yunzheng is a soldier accompanying the army.
Xiao Shunzi is an ordinary eunuch on board the ship.
He can keep accounts, audit, and mend clothes. He makes account books neatly and his handwriting is beautiful.
Everyone on the ship felt that he talked little and had a steady hand.
No one knew what he was hiding.
In fact, even he himself couldn't tell clearly.
He just thinks he should be a woman.
I've felt this way since I was very young.
What he wanted was too far away.
It's so far away that even if you sail all the way to the West, you won't be able to find it.
It's too far away to be spoken out, written down in the account books, or let anyone know.
All he could do was to do everything he should do before Pei Yunzheng came to check the accounts, so that the voyage would be smooth and smooth.
In the most greedy part of his heart, he could only say one unclear sentence:
Crossing the rivers and lakes with you
[Background of Zheng He's voyages to the West｜Eunuchs｜Long-term one-way secret love｜Slow heat｜Destined to BE]
Intention: I can only cross rivers and lakes with you
