Prince of Chaos

Chapter 16

Si Li Jian, one of the 24 prisons in the Ming Dynasty, was also the most powerful prison.It was first set up in the 17th year of Hongwu in the early Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Lijian was still a weak unit, only responsible for all the etiquette, criminal names, management errands, and other miscellaneous tasks in the Forbidden City.

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, because of the intensified contradictions between the emperor and the civil official group, and the reason why the emperor himself slacked off on government affairs.Gradually, this weak unit has grown crazily into a super organization that can rival the civil servants!
The lazy emperor often asked the ceremonial supervisor to approve the reds on behalf of the emperor.In this way, the Lijian took advantage of this opportunity to continuously expand his power and interfere in the central decision-making of the Ming Dynasty, which caused bad consequences for the Ming Dynasty's politics, economy, military, and judiciary.Although the supervisor of ceremonies has such great power, he cannot arbitrarily abolish the emperor like the eunuchs in the late Tang Dynasty.In the Ming Dynasty, the supervisor of ceremonies was always subject to the imperial power.Therefore, most emperors like to rely on the eunuchs and eunuchs around them to remotely control the government affairs. Among them, Emperor Jiajing is the most sneaky.

Of course, the supervisors of ceremonies were not completely useless, at least they ensured that the imperial power would not fall aside, and in the Ming Dynasty, except for Zhang Juzheng, there were no powerful officials who appeared to subvert the court.Of course, Zhang Juzheng did not have the ability to subvert Chao Gang.It can be seen that the system design of Lao Zhu's family still has its cleverness.

Moreover, there are many celebrities in the supervisor of ceremonies, such as Wang Zhen, the military advisor of Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, the god of war in the Ming Dynasty, Liu Jin, the cynical and rebellious emperor Zhengde's companion "Emperor Li", such as the reformer Feng Bao, the companion of Emperor Wanli, the originator of houseboys, and Feng Bao, who was known as Wei Zhongxian, the last "hope" of the Ming Dynasty, is [-] years old.

These people are all famous supervisors of ceremonies!They are all peerless figures who stir up the situation in the world. Although they are eunuchs, they must not be underestimated!
Therefore, the supervisor of ceremonies is not only in charge of the affairs of eunuchs in the inner court, but also involved in the affairs of the foreign court, which is the so-called "no prime minister's name, but a prime minister's reality"!
Zhu Changluo is now able to hang out with these big eunuchs, all thanks to Concubine Zheng, the dearest and dearest relative of Emperor Wanli. I heard that her knees hurt these two days, but I don't know what's going on.If it wasn't for the fact that Concubine Zheng Gui hated me, maybe I would go to see her with two trotters.

Thinking this way in Zhu Changluo's heart, he really felt sorry for Concubine Zheng's knee.Empress Dowager Li is also really amazing, she actually forced Concubine Zheng to kneel in front of the Palace of Compassion and Peace for two hours, and in the end she didn't even see each other, so she just let Concubine Zheng kneel down.

When Zhu Changluo heard Feng Xiaobao tell him this story, Zhu Changluo really enjoyed it!Queen Mother Li will not disappoint!

After tidying up my emotions.Zhu Changluo also officially came to the Supervisor of Rites.

There are currently four major eunuchs in the Supervisor of Rituals, Zhang Jing, the Supervisor of Rites, Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of Bingbi, Chen Ju, the eunuch of Bingbi, and Sun Xian, the eunuch of Dongchang.

Apart from Chen Ju among the four great eunuchs, Zhang Jing is the most famous.His record is unmatched ten years after Wanli.It was he who brought down Feng Bao and prevented Zhang Juzheng's reform.Now is the time for Emperor Wanli to show his favor.

Therefore, Zhang Jing is the well-deserved boss of the eunuch in the Supervisor of Rituals!

Zhang Cheng, who was behind him in the row, was also a fierce man. This guy actually let his younger brother marry Wu Qinghou, domineering and powerful for a while.

Then there is Chen Ju, a virtuous official who is praised by others. Don't think that Zhu Changluo will definitely hold Chen Ju's thigh tightly when he goes to study in the Supervisor of Rites.After all, other people are not familiar with it.

Then there is Sun Xian, Sun Xian is now the admiral of Dongchang, he rarely comes to the Supervisor of Rites, but the Supervisor of Rites still has someone's position.There is also an achievement that Sun Xian has to mention, that is, he brought the future nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian into the palace.How about it?Is this achievement awesome?Great or not?
Today, the four major eunuchs are all in the ceremonial supervisor, and the reason why they came so neatly is because Zhu Changluo is coming.So no matter what or for what purpose, they have to adopt a welcoming attitude.

After all, it was the first time that the prince went to the Silijian to study in the 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!How can you be absent?

Zhang Jing brought the other chief eunuchs of the Rites Supervisor to salute Zhu Changluo who had arrived, "This old slave sees His Royal Highness, the eldest son."

Zhu Changluo hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "Father-in-law, you don't need to be too polite. I came to the Supervisor of Rites to study. This is also the favor of my father and Mrs. Zheng. You can treat me normally, treat me as a junior, and do whatever you want. Chang Luo will humbly accept the order."

Zhang Jing said: "Your Highness is really a shame on this old slave. If this old slave has a chance to serve His Highness, it will be smoke from the ancestral grave."

Zhu Changluo exchanged pleasantries with the group of eunuchs before formally entering the gate of the chief eunuch.

This supervisor of ceremonies is different from Wenyuan Pavilion where the cabinet is located.Wenyuan Pavilion is in the Forbidden City, and the Lijian is behind Longevity Mountain, which is the northeast corner of the Meishan Mountain where Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, next to the Shangyi Bureau and Xinfang.This area is located in the office of the 24 eunuchs and eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty. When it comes to the location, it can be regarded as outside the Forbidden City.But this place is as strict as the Forbidden City, and it is not a place where ordinary people can set foot.

"I don't know what books His Highness is reading now? You tell this old slave, and this old slave can also arrange for His Highness's studies."

Zhu Changluo said: "Father has been teaching me calligraphy before. The book I read is Lao Zhuang's Taoist classics. Now I have learned Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou"."

When Zhang Jing heard this, he couldn't help guessing secretly, "Could it be that the emperor really doesn't value the eldest son of the emperor? There is no history of the eldest son of the pope, and instead he taught these useless old and Zhuang studies."

Zhang Jing's enthusiasm for Zhu Changluo suddenly dropped a lot. He said to Chen Ju and Sun Xian: "Chen Gonggong and Sun Gonggong will be in charge of the studies of the eldest son of the emperor from now on. Remember that all schools in the pre-Qin period can do it The profound Confucian classics will be taught when the eldest son of the emperor grows up."

Chen Ju and Sun Xian replied, "Yes."

Then Zhang Jing smiled and said to Zhu Changluo: "Your Highness, when you come to the Ceremony Supervisor, you can go directly to Chen Ju. He is usually on duty in the Ceremony Supervisor. The old slave and other business affairs are too much. If your Highness is delayed It's a sin."

Zhu Changluo said: "Thank you, Eunuch Zhang. Eunuch Zhang has worked hard on his father's affairs, and he can spare time to accompany Chang Luo and arrange Chang Luo's studies. Chang Luo is very grateful."

Zhang Jing said: "This is the duty that an old slave should have. I still have something to do in the old slave's palace, so I won't accompany His Highness for now. His Highness can do whatever he wants in the Supervisor of Ceremonies."

Then Zhang Jing, Zhang Cheng and others said goodbye to Zhu Changluo one by one.

Only Chen Ju and Sun Xian were left to accompany Zhu Changluo in the Prison of Rites.The reason why Sun Xian didn't leave was because Zhang Jing was too powerful. Zhang Jing occupied the East Factory and let Zhang Cheng take care of it, but he, the admiral of the East Factory, was so idle that he could only stay in the Supervisor of Rites. Together with Chen Ju, he served by the side of Emperor Wanli.
