The palace eunuchs are far away from the palace, and the main members are the old eunuchs.
Don't underestimate the Shrine Superintendent.
It seems that the palm is too high to sweep the temples, sweep the incense lamps and other things.
In fact, because Zhu Yuanzhang valued Xiaoling, all the eunuchs who could come here were his confidants.
Just like a minister who has retired from old age and returned to his hometown, he still has a deterrent power that cannot be underestimated.
Especially the Xiaoling Guards, to a certain extent, were also controlled by the Shrine Superintendent.
It is the only place among all eunuch offices that can affect military power.
It's just that their power is limited to this Xiaoling Mausoleum.
Except for the emperor, even the vassal princes and grandsons can show no dignity at all without His Majesty's decree.
The old eunuch looked at Zhu Ying again, and there was always a feeling of déjà vu, but because he was old and a little confused, he couldn't remember it all at once.
That's why I call you Your Highness directly.
Song Zhong saw Liu Rixin and the official named Qin Tianjian approaching, and explained together: "This is Mr. Zhu who was ordered to come to participate in the sacrifice."
After a brief introduction, Song Zhong said to Liu Rixin: "Mr. Liu, please host the sacrifice here."
"As you should." Liu Rixin nodded and replied, then looked at Zhu Ying, bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Zhu."
Several members of the Qin Tian Jian also bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Zhu."
Zhu Ying quickly returned the gift.
Then a light flashed in his eyes as he lowered his head slightly.
He finally understood who was trying to plot against him.
He never expected that it would be Song Zhong, the Jin Yiwei who had always been respectful to him.
He actually forgot about them.
Obviously he came here to deliver breakfast as a sacrifice, but from Song Zhong's words, it turned into participating in the sacrifice.
The meaning of this should not be too obvious.
For a moment, Zhu Ying had the urge to seize the horse and run away.
Although the Xiaoling Guards were tightly guarded, he thought that with his own force, the probability of escaping before everyone could react was very high.
However, this thought only passed through his mind and was suppressed by Zhu Ying.
Except that Song Zhong's meaning was a bit unusual, the officials of Shengong Supervisor and Qin Tian Supervisor seemed to have no knowledge of this matter.
"Master Zhu, please come over here. Song Zhenfu, please wait outside." The old eunuch said after he was in a trance.
Although the Jin Yiwei can enter the Xiaoling Mausoleum, it is obviously the palace supervisor who has the final say when it comes to offering sacrifices.
Obviously, this old eunuch has great power here, including Liu Rixin, Qin Tianjian and other officials, who are vaguely dominated by him.
"That's how it should be." Song Zhong bowed slightly and stood there waiting.
Zhu Ying frowned slightly and followed the old eunuch, Liu Rixin and others into the Gaomiao.
"I'll go in and prepare first. There's still half an hour until the time for the sacrifice. Master Zhu, please rest first."
After entering the temple, Liu Rixin said slowly.
His demeanor was normal and his tone was calm, but his little finger, which was always in his sleeve, was constantly trembling without being seen by everyone.
After Liu Rixin and others left, only the old eunuch and Zhu Ying were left in the temple, as well as the Xiaoling guards on duty outside.
"My dear, Zhu Ying, I don't know what to call my father-in-law."
Zhu Ying bowed and said. He did not introduce his identity as a businessman in too much detail. At this time, it is not very good to reveal the details directly.
He came here with Jin Yiwei, and the identity of others was unknown, so he naturally had many guesses in his mind.
"You're welcome, Mr. Zhu. Our surname is Zhang, and we have been here in the Yuwang Temple for ten years." Eunuch Zhang introduced him.
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have come to his senses and asked again: "I didn't hear Mr. Zhu's name clearly, could you please tell me again."
Eunuch Zhang obviously had difficulty with his eyesight and hearing, and a familiar feeling came to him just now.
"I'm Zhu Ying."
Zhu Ying was afraid that Eunuch Zhang could not hear clearly, so she spoke a little louder.
When Eunuch Zhang heard this, his stooped body suddenly froze, and a memory seemed to flash through his mind.
He slowly turned around and stared at Zhu Ying.
In the blurred vision, Zhu Ying's face became slightly clearer, but because Eunuch Zhang was old, there was only a faint outline and the facial features could not be clearly seen.
Zhu Ying was not as dim-witted as Eunuch Zhang. She had always been paying close attention to Eunuch Zhang's every move.
The abnormal state that occurred after hearing his name was clearly visible.
His brows suddenly furrowed, and his body was like a cheetah's, with muscles all over his body slightly tense.
Although he was a little disrespectful to the old man, if Eunuch Zhang directly called someone, he would not be able to restrain him directly.
Apparently Zhu Ying was a little too vigilant.
After Eunuch Zhang's abnormality, he quickly returned to his original state. His back even bent even more, but he had no intention of calling anyone.
"Zhu Ying, what a good name. I wonder how old Mr. Zhu is this year and whether he can take the title." Eunuch Zhang asked in a kind tone, as if chatting about family matters.
Hearing this, Zhu Ying relaxed his vigilance slightly and replied: "Thank you for the compliment, father-in-law. It is March this year and it has already reached the top."
When Eunuch Zhang heard this, a trace of pity and pity flashed in his eyes, and he remained silent.
As the superintendent of the shrine, Eunuch Zhang still has a certain understanding of Xiaoling sacrifices.
Royal sacrifices have always been accompanied by burials and blood sacrifices.
Ten years ago, he saw with his own eyes what happened when the celestial phenomena shifted and the earth dragon rolled.
Including Liu Rixin and others, they are also very clear about the excavation of King Yu's tomb.
King Yu died young and was extremely resentful. By this time, the news had already spread throughout Xiaoling.
Yesterday, Liu Rixin wanted to invite His Majesty to come over to suppress his grievances, but he was refused, saying that he would appoint someone else to come over.
Zhu Ying, who had a similar name and similar age to King Yu, seemed to Eunuch Zhang to be the sacrifice this time.
No wonder he was escorted personally by the Jin Yiwei's envoy, and it seemed that Zhu Ying still didn't understand that he was being kept in the dark.
The atmosphere in the temple seemed a little tense after Eunuch Zhang didn't speak.
Zhu Ying hesitated for a moment and took the lead to break the silence. He asked curiously: "I am not very knowledgeable. I don't know what kind of relationship this King Yu has with His Majesty. Please tell Eunuch Zhang."
Zhu Yuanzhang obviously has many descendants.
Due to the limited medical environment in ancient times, even the royal family had many children who died young.
Zhu Ying had no impression of the title King Yu in his mind.
Since you have come here and want to participate in the sacrifice, you can't not even understand the person doing the sacrifice. That would be too rude.
As for the title of King Yu, it is engraved on the spirit tablet on the incense table in the temple.
Eunuch Zhang explained: "His Royal Highness King Yu is the eldest grandson of His Majesty and the eldest son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Zhu Xiongying."
"His Royal Highness King Yu was born in the seventh year of Hongwu. He died in the fifteenth year of Hongwu. He died young at the age of eight."
"His Majesty regarded him as the prince as the eldest grandson of the emperor, and he named him King of Yu, with the posthumous title of 'Huai'."
