At that time, Gao Lishi can be said to be in power, the crown prince Li Heng called him the second brother, and other princes and princesses called Gao Lishi Ah Weng, Li Longji often called him a general instead of calling him by his name to show his favor, and others can imagine. However, although Gao Lishi was noble, his power was not very great, and the government was always in the hands of the emperor and ministers. Tang Xuanzong Li Longji in order to prevent the palace and foreign ministers, generals, and relatives from accommodating each other, adopted a policy of further weakening the foreign dynasty and centralizing the inner court, and began to appoint eunuchs around him to pre-serve the army, such as at the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, he had sent the eunuch Yang Siqiao to lead the army to conscript the Annan Rebellion, and after the success, Yang Siqiao was named the auxiliary general. The Anshi Rebellion made Tang Suzong suspicious of the military generals and trusted eunuchs. The Anshi Rebellion was an important turning point in the development of eunuchs. After the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Suzong Li Heng began to be suspicious of the military generals because of the rebellion and the danger of destroying his country, and the eunuchs were greatly favored, and began to take charge of the army internally, and the generals were supervised outside, and their power gradually extended from the inner court to the outer court, from the indirect intervention in the imperial government to the direct control of important military and political positions, and finally formed an autocratic pattern, and met a male lord like Li Longji, and he could still hold it. The eunuch's control of the forbidden army thus became the rule. Originally, the emperor wanted to use eunuchs to supervise the army, control the generals, and avoid the recurrence of disasters when the tail was too big, but what he didn't expect was that the eunuchs and the army brought new disasters. Due to the institutionalization of the eunuch army, its power has reached the level of controlling the government and controlling the hundred officials. It can be said that the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty can influence the emperor, and their power has increased because of their meritorious service. Later, he directly grasped the military power, and the eunuchs began to interfere in politics without fear, and the emperor had to rely on eunuchs. ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded secretly when he heard this, the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty interfered very badly, it was indeed because the eunuchs held the military power, and the emperor and the ministers confronted him, and he could only rely on the eunuchs.

I only heard Wang Zhen continue: "In view of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the eunuchs of the Song Dynasty commanded the military power, and the rule that the eunuchs could not interfere in politics was set. The half-seal survey system implemented in the fifteenth year of Hongwu made the eunuchs actually override the court officials, because it stipulated that the extension and important government affairs of the palace must go to the inner government to investigate and combine. It can be seen that eunuchs are not incapable of interfering in politics, and after Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, eunuchs began to participate in political affairs, but most of them also sent envoys, special expeditions, supervised the army, divided towns, assassinated subjects, etc., and did not take charge of military power.

Zhu Zhanji's eyes flashed, he had to admit that Wang Zhen was telling the truth, in view of the impact of the Tang Dynasty eunuchs in charge of military power, whether it was Taizu who set the eunuchs not to interfere in politics, or the emperor sent eunuchs to the West, there was one thing that has never been moved, that is, the eunuchs who do not give the eunuchs military power, and the eunuchs who have no military power, in the final analysis, are the emperor's slaves, and when the emperor trusts, he can influence the national politics and promote and dismiss officials, although it can make the world boil (once he loses the emperor's trust, it is a dead end, and the eunuchs are not in charge of the army at all, and the power is also controlled by various departments, Jinyi Wei is the commander of the envoy, but he is not a eunuch. Therefore, there is no possibility of threatening the imperial power at all, and it is very likely that the threat will override the ministers, so it is much more reassuring to use than those foreign ministers.

If there was some hesitation before, then after Wang Zhen's analysis and inspiration, Zhu Zhanji's hesitant mind was completely let go, the eunuchs could not threaten the imperial power, so why should the emperor let it go, once these eunuchs can also read and write, understand allusions, and master the words of the sages, when I encounter such things today, I don't need to come forward, just send the eunuchs around me to fight with those annoying civil officials, I just need to point from it, thinking of this benefit, his eyes flashed with excitement:" Yes, that's it! Use eunuchs to balance those ministers, so that they don't always rely on people to bully people, I want to see if there are more eunuchs in me, or if there are more of you Qingliu!" After being excited for a while, Zhu Zhanji turned his head to Wang Zhen and said, "Mr. Wang, how do you say that eunuchs can be as familiar with the words of sages as literati?"

Wang Zhen thought for a while, his eyes flashed, and said, "This is easy, Your Majesty can let the eunuchs in the palace read?"

"Reading?" Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Yes, why didn't I expect that, the eunuch is literate and hyphenated, and he also knows the words of the sage, so don't I have a group of scholars around me?

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji's face was full of excitement, and after a moment of hard work, it was gloomy again, let the eunuch read, how to read, and still need a teacher, this is a troublesome matter.

Wang Zhen seemed to see Zhu Zhanji's difficulty, and bowed forward and whispered: "It's not difficult for your majesty to let the eunuch study?"

"Oh-really?" Zhu Zhanji turned his head to look at Wang Zhen and said with some surprise.

Wang Zhendao: "According to the slaves, the celebrant has a job in charge of ancient and modern books, famous paintings, album leaves, hand scrolls, pens, inkstones, ink, silk yarn, silk cloth, paper sections, as well as books, Buddha, Taoism, Tibetan scriptures, the eunuchs in the palace on weekdays, many illiterate, ancient and modern books, famous paintings, album leaves, hand scrolls have been destroyed, His Majesty can use this as an excuse to set up a eunuch school under the celebrant supervisor, the eunuch is the highest person in charge, and the chief eunuch is specifically responsible, and there are six to eight "elderly and powerful" people as seniors, responsible for dealing with daily learning, Manage affairs, this school is the same as the school of those who read, and it is not difficult to choose the little inner supervisor in the palace to enroll!

Zhu Zhanji said: "I'm afraid that those ministers will not agree?"

Wang Zhen said: "This is not difficult, first, the palace needs to be managed by learned eunuchs, and it is not easy for foreign ministers to say anything. The gift composed of dragon hanging incense is used as a bundle of cultivation (tuition) for learning, if you have no financial resources for the time being, you can also borrow money and repay it twice in the future, so that the words of the sage of the eunuch learning, those civil officials have always been educated and have nothing to say!"

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "It's a good one to teach, this move is very good, but this course, the teacher is a little troublesome, most of the eunuchs in the palace don't read and write, they just barely know, I'm afraid they don't know the words of the sage, the allusions of the past dynasties, how can I help me?"

Wang Zhen seemed to have a plan, thought about it and said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, since you worship the Confucian classics of the Confucian sage, you can recite them, and the courses can be: "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Texts", "Prodigy Poems", "Thousand Family Poems", "Filial Piety Classics" and other enlightenment readings, as well as the four books studied by scholars at that time: "University", "Analects", "Mencius", "The Mean", and then there is the study of words, that is, "number book". Of course, these alone are not enough, most of those foreign ministers are familiar with historical allusions, and His Majesty can also set up books such as "Tongjian Festival", "University Yanyi", "Zhenguan Political Leaders" and other books for eunuchs to learn how to learn from history and be loyal to His Majesty!"

Zhu Zhanji hummed, thinking that this method is not bad, "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text", "Prodigy Poems", "Thousand Family Poems", "Filial Piety Classics" and other enlightenment readings can make eunuchs read and hyphenate, "University", "Analects", "Mencius", "The Mean" can make eunuchs understand the words of the sage, "Tongjian Festival", "University Yanyi", "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries" can let eunuchs know the rise and fall of dynasties, so as not to be too chaotic!"

Seeing Zhu Zhanji nodding, Wang Zhen suddenly became a little bolder, and continued to cable: "As for the teacher, the slave was born as a teacher back then, so he can reluctantly give it a try, but the knowledge of the slave is not as good as that of those scholars and scholars of the Hanlin Academy, so ......?"

Zhu Zhan is basically extremely smart, how can he not understand the meaning of Wang Zhen's words, if he wants to let the eunuch contain the civil official, then he needs to raise the eunuch to the same height as the civil official, and most of the civil officials are familiar with poetry and books since childhood, from this point the eunuch is congenitally insufficient, that is, if he wants to catch up, most of it is impossible, then only by starting from the teacher and using good teachers can he gradually narrow the gap, so as to achieve the effect he wants!" This is easy to do, and most of those Hanlin editors have nothing to do on weekdays, so I can appoint learned people such as editors, reviewers, and revisions of the Hanlin Academy to serve as teachers, so I am afraid that they will not be able to improve their knowledge?"

Wang Zhen was overjoyed and said: "This is very good!"

Zhu Zhanji's eyes flashed, and suddenly two sharp lights swept on Wang Zhen's face, and the eyes were like knives and swords, so frightened that Wang Zhen almost fell to the ground without a plop, swallowed his saliva, and said nervously: "Your Majesty ......?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a solemn face: "I entrust you with this important task, don't you want to disappoint me?"

Wang Zhen was frightened and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "The slave must do his best not to disappoint His Majesty!"

Zhu Zhanji snorted, didn't let Wang Zhen get up, and continued: "Those foreign ministers have always been dissatisfied with eunuchs, and the inner study hall still needs to set rules, so that the foreign ministers can see that this eunuch is not unreadable?"

Wang Zhen said loudly: "This minion has already thought of two rules. ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "Oh, let's hear it!"
