Recalling the past, at the end of the 10th year of Yongle, it was the eve of Chengzu moving the capital to Beijing. The construction project of the capital was nearing completion. As the majestic palaces and official offices were completed one after another, a courtyard wall was built at the Dong'an Gate of the imperial city to the north. A tall, strange government office with black walls and black tiles. If you want to watch the full version for free, please search on Baidu
Here is the Dongchang Eunuch Yamen that later made people talk about it.
Strangely enough, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu who killed heroes indiscriminately, did not reuse eunuchs, and even stipulated: "Ministers are not allowed to interfere in political affairs, and those who interfere will be killed."
His successor, Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunfen, followed the ancestral system of not using internal ministers. As a result, all the eunuchs defected to Zhu Di, who raised troops to quell Jingnan.
This political change in the early Ming Dynasty changed the fate of eunuchs. It is conceivable that when a group of emperor's servants who serve in the palace suddenly enter the political stage and act as the eagle dogs of imperial power with a complex mentality and special identity, their loyalty, enthusiasm and energy are enough to make the world stunned. .
Dongchang, which was established after Yongle moved the capital, has experienced doubts, censures, and battles of wits and courage with the civil service group, but it has always been consistent with the emperor.
On the eve of Long Qing's death, he once taught the prince Zhu Yijun that it is not difficult to grasp power, as long as he firmly grasps two points: the capital camp and the factory guard.
This gloomy government office is like a living hell in the eyes of the outside world, but it is one of the two major guarantees that the Ming Dynasty's imperial power has not been challenged by any challenge.
The gate of the East Factory faces south, but this gate is closed all year round. There is another gate in the southwest. This shape adds a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere.
Inside the gate is the main hall, and there is a small hall on the left side of the hall, which contains a portrait of Yue Fei. There is a brick screen wall behind the hall, on which there are carvings of Suan Ni and other animals, as well as the story of Di Renjie breaking a tiger.
There is an ancestral hall in the west of the hall, which enshrines the titles and tablets of the eunuchs in charge of the East Factory in past dynasties. There is a stone square in front of the temple, with the four characters "Eternal Fragrance" engraved on its forehead.
A little south is a prison, specially used to collect felons.
According to the system, Dongchang has one admiral eunuch, usually the first eunuch of Si Lijian. Huang Mengyu, the current admiral of Dongchang, holds this important position concurrently with the first eunuch of Si Lijian. Below the admiral, there are more than 40 people in charge, foremen, and housekeepers. There are twelve groups of managers, arranged according to Zichou and Yinmao. Each leader is responsible for the work. There are more than 100 people in total. There are more than 1,000 subordinates under them.
On the gate of the Admiral Dongchang is engraved "Imperial Envoy Governor Dongchang Official School Service Eunuch Guanfang", which has more "imperial envoy" than other official offices. Since he has the status of the emperor's imperial envoy, everything he does represents the emperor, so no one will dare to disobey him. In addition, a sealing tooth seal was engraved with the four characters "Dongchang Seal" engraved on it, which was specially used to seal the information presented.
These two things are now placed on the table in the main hall.
But unexpectedly, there are two seats at the main table today. Admiral Huang Mengyu is sitting on the right. According to Ming Dynasty's custom, this is the second seat.
Sitting at the main seat on the left was a young man, wearing a large red silk silk. His face was calm, and he even squinted slightly. However, in front of him, the more than 20 people present were all sternly alert, holding their breath and concentrating, for fear of fear. Missing even a single word that came out of his mouth.
Everyone knows that this son is neither a noble nor a eunuch, but a civil servant through and through.
In the past many years, the most common abnormal political ecological chain in the Ming Dynasty was that the emperor was afraid of civil servants, civil servants were afraid of eunuchs, and eunuchs were afraid of the emperor.
But as we all know, the person in front of us is not in this cycle.
He is highly pragmatic, a civil servant who is not afraid of eunuchs.
Because he was trusted by the emperor more than any eunuch.
How amazing is this trust? It was so shocking that the emperor's oral instruction just now stated clearly: "Give Gao Qing the Emperor's Sword to lead Dongchang and Jinyiwei to thoroughly investigate Chen Hong's case. All his accomplices, eagles and dogs, will be captured and brought to justice. If there is any concealment or resistance, they will be punished." It’s easy to do it. Thank you for that.”
The emperor gave quite a lot of the right to "act expediently", and many officials in important areas had this right. However, Dongchang and Jinyiwei were already extremely powerful, how many of them could get the right to "act expeditiously"? Not to mention, he was also given the Emperor's Sword.
Although Chen Hong is the Chief Eunuch, Huang Mengyu is not the same "boss" as him, so his power as the Chief Eunuch is relatively limited. To deal with such a person, it seems that such an array is not necessary. Fighting is the right thing.
However, it is precisely because of the abnormality that the attitude of these great people is so respectful, for fear that if they make the slightest mistake, they will bring disaster to themselves.
In this special yamen of Dongchang, the big officials all have their own set of rules for doing things. For example, the more difficult it is to understand something, the less you can ask more questions, and the more strictly you must implement it, because of the problems involved. , it’s definitely not something their little arms and thin legs can carry.
However, Gao's pragmatic attitude is not hypocritical. His eyes are half-squinted, nor is he pretending to be mysterious or deep.
He was just sleepy, and he knew the n of it all.
After a busy day of birthday party, he returned to the city overnight and arranged several lines to "encircle Cining Palace". Even though his body was at its most energetic age, in the middle of the night, he was so tired that his eyelids were shaking. .
Although young people are in good spirits, they are also addicted to sleep. The top six candidates are not really the stars in the sky.
But if the matter at hand is really important, he won't be like this. Being able to feel sleepy means that in his opinion, there will be no accidents in the future.
Zhu Yijun started such a big battle. In the final analysis, the young man was impatient and had a bit of a "once he has the power, he will do what he orders" style.
He wanted to establish his authority, and wanted everyone in the world to know that he, the Wanli Emperor, was fully capable of ruling the world. He did not need the Queen Mothers of the two palaces to continue to point fingers at him. He himself could do better than the Queen Mothers!
The only thing Gao Pingshi spent a little time thinking about was why Zhu Yijun went against common sense and allowed himself, a civil servant, to temporarily lead the factory guards.
When things are abnormal, there must be monsters. Gao Pragmatic cannot help but ponder the subtext of Zhu Yijun's move.
Zhu Yijun's political acumen is not bad. Although he occasionally shows the arrogance of a young man, being arrogant does not mean fooling around. No matter how excited he is, as a person who was named a prince at the age of six, it is impossible not to understand the role of civil servants. What does it mean to lead the factory guards even just for this night?
In order to show that he is of one mind with his emperor and his subjects? No, do you still need to make this clear? All the officials in the capital, and even the officials in the world, as long as they are not blind, can see it, so why bother?
Then, it can only be seen as him showing favor to the civil servant group.
But why should he show kindness? Why do you show your kindness at this time?
Is it because he is afraid that forcing the Queen Mother to delegate power will cause criticism from the government and the public, or is it because of Concubine Wang Gong's belly?
