Yang Zheng touched the ten taels of silver in his arms, a little reluctant, but thinking that this guy was a celebrity around him, if he could make friends, he would be able to do something in the future, thinking of this, he didn't feel that the ten taels of silver were heavy, he gently pinched it in his arms, walked forward and quietly pulled Chen Wu's palm, and the silver ingot in his hand slipped into Chen Wu's hand without a trace.

Chen Wuzheng complained a little that Yang Zheng was ignorant, but when his palm touched the ingot of silver, his heart moved, his eyes narrowed, he glanced at Yang Zheng, and said in his heart: "I can't imagine that this person is so young, he knows how to be a man like this, no wonder people like Yang Shiqi are full of praise for him, now it seems that this Yang Shiqi's vision is not bad?" “

Chen Wu retracted his palm into his sleeve without moving, and the ingot of silver fell into his sleeve silently, pinched it in his palm, and then sent it into his arms in the night, smiled at Yang Zheng, and said: "Lord Yang, don't forget it, enter the palace at noon tomorrow, and our family will leave?" ”

Yang Zheng gave a gift for the first time, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous, but seeing that Chen Wu didn't change his face and put his ten taels of silver into his arms, he couldn't help but secretly laugh that he was useless, and he was not as good as a prisoner, so he breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his fists and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, the lower officials must keep it in mind?" ”

After receiving the cashier, Yang Zheng was respectful to his etiquette, not like those officials in the outer court, who pretended to read poetry and books, and the words of the sage, so he did not look at these prisoners in his eyes, and scolded him for being a stinky prisoner openly and respectfully on weekdays, so that he did not have a good impression of people.

Yang Zheng was slightly stunned, and hurriedly added another salute.

Chen Wu nodded, said no more, and then turned to leave.

Yang Zheng looked at Chen Wu, and only felt that this prison was not bad, he had already met two eunuchs when he came to Nanjing, and he didn't have the face he saw in the film and television dramas of his previous life, in fact, the prisoners of the Ming Dynasty were not as morally corrupt as depicted in the film and television dramas of his previous life, in addition to Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian, and other authoritarian eunuchs, there were also good eunuchs like Zheng He, Huai En, and Zhang Min, but the overall image of the prisoners in the Ming Dynasty was not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, after Ming Renzong, the official group had great power, and the emperor was often unable to help himself. For example, Jiaqing wanted to posthumously recognize his biological father as the emperor, and it took years and official struggles to get it done. And Wanli wanted to abolish the queen, but it took more than 20 years until he died, and he was depressed and no longer paid attention to the government and did not cooperate with the officials. Therefore, the emperor could only rely on the eunuch group to fight against the official group, so that the eunuchs in the late Ming Dynasty went to the center of power, and in the later period, the eunuchs and even the power gradually became, and even divided the imperial court into the inner court and the outer court. The inner court is controlled by the secretary and the supervisor, and the outer court is an official group supplemented by the cabinet, which restricts each other.

The cabinet led by the auxiliary of the outer court has the right to build a house, and the six ministries are responsible for administrative power, and the decision-making power falls into the hands of the emperor, but the emperors of the Ming Dynasty except for the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and later Zhu Di, the rest of the emperors are indeed not diligent, and the emperors of Jiaqing and Wanli are basically not in the court, these things are almost in the hands of the inner court, so that the inner court supervisor replaces the emperor to obtain the decision-making power, forming the most strange pattern of the Ming court.

The official clique was naturally unaccustomed to the power of the prisons, and inevitably counted some crimes on their heads, plus these prisons were also in charge of the Dongchang that terrified the military attaches of the Manchu Dynasty. The function of the East Factory is to "visit and conspire against the evil and evil, and equalize the power with Jinyiwei". One person was in charge, entrusted with the power of visiting and spying, and they were ordered to monitor military attachés, celebrities, and other forces that were unfavorable to the imperial court, and any disturbance could be reported directly to the emperor. According to the information obtained by surveillance, the emperor suppressed those forces that were unfavorable to the imperial court one by one, and the detection scope of Dongchang in the late Ming Dynasty was very wide. The information obtained by Dongchang can be reported directly to the emperor, which is much more convenient than Jinyiwei, which must be reported in the form of a chapter. In this way, people inevitably have to scold, and over time, the prison of the Ming Dynasty was as domineering as in the movies and television in the previous life, and in the eyes, these people who are not men are really hateful.

Seeing that Chen Wu was about to leave, Yang Zheng's heart suddenly moved, and he said in his heart: "This Chen Wu followed Zhu Gaoxi to fight everywhere and achieved great military exploits, and Zhu Zhanji was valued for a while, and in his later years, Zhu Zhanji not only gave him a lot of money; Later, he gave him two palace maids as his wife, and also gave him the title of official to his adoptive king Chun. In the ten years of Xuande, the status is prominent, but Zheng He is not comparable! How can such a prison be considered a celebrity, it doesn't seem like a big deal to inscribe a word to Drunken Immortal, right? Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Chen, please stay?" “

Chen Wuzheng turned to leave, and when he heard this, he turned around again, glanced at him, and said strangely: "Is there anything else with Lord Yang?" ”

Yang Zheng smiled, looking a little embarrassed, and said, "There is indeed something else, I want to ask Gonggong Chen to help?" ”

Chen Wu has a prominent status, and he asks for help a lot on weekdays, but there is really no such directness, and he can't help but be a little curious for a while, and said, "I don't know what Lord Yang wants our family to help you?" “

Yang Zheng looked a little embarrassed, and said: "Xia Guan has heard of his father-in-law's name, and he was able to see his true face today, so he has a reluctant request?" Want to ask your father-in-law to give the drunken immortal residence of the lower official a calligraphy? ”

"Inscription?" Chen Wu paused slightly, but he didn't expect Yang Zheng to be this request, and he couldn't help but glance at him more unexpectedly, and said in his heart: "This Lord Yang is really a kind person?" ”

The supervisor of the inscription is not nothing, but in the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang was strict with the prison guards, not allowed to interfere in politics, many prisoners were illiterate, and it was said that they held a pen to write, after arriving in Yongle, the supervisor was able to help Zhu Di Jing make a lot of meritorious deeds, Zhu Di regarded them as cronies, set up the East Factory, presided over by the eunuchs. The eunuchs began to obtain the power of envoys, special expeditions, and towns, especially Zheng He went to the West six times in Yongle to establish outstanding military exploits, and the military attachés of the Manchu Dynasty were unmatched.

Chen Wu was originally illiterate, but when Zhu Zhanji was still the emperor's grandson, he followed him, Zhu Zhanji was taught by a famous teacher since he was a child, and his martial arts were high, in addition, he also liked hunting, food, fighting and weaving (cricket), Chen Wu followed him, under the smell of his ears and eyes, he also had a lot of things, especially a hand of calligraphy but also got a bit of Zhu Zhanji's true biography.

It's just that he is a royal eunuch, and there are not many people who can write on weekdays, not to mention that in the eyes of those people, a prisoner's character is beautiful and has lost a bit of manliness, and the calligraphy of the prison has always been contemptuous, and if he also knows that calligraphy is compared with those people's inkmen, the words of the sage, that is self-deception and humiliation, so the entire Ming Dynasty, the calligraphy that the prison can get his hands on, is pitiful.

Chen Wu said happily: "Does Lord Yang really want me to write an inscription?" “

Thanks to the novels and TV in the previous life, what Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, Feng Bao, Wei Zhongxian are famous prisons, Yang Zheng also knows a little, these prisons are not unskilled people, especially since Zhu Zhanji, began to set up a special supervision school, the specific name is "Neishutang". Prison began to practice, some of the prison process is still very high, later the eunuch Feng Baohua literacy is high, he carved the "Enlightenment Collection", "Emperor Jiangu Said", "Four Books" and many other books in the Si Li Supervisor, to the Qing Dynasty Kangxi period is also widely spread, not only that, his calligraphy is quite good, through music theory, good at playing the piano, and made a lot of piano, "the world Xianbao loves". The most famous is that in the sixth year of Wanli, he inscribed on the collection of "Qingming Riverside Map", and called himself "Governor of Qincha Dongchang Official School and in charge of the Imperial Celebrant Supervisor". It is said that he saw this painting when he was waiting for the emperor in front of the emperor. He praised the painting of "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" and regarded it as "something more precious than Sui Zhu and Bi". These are not things that ordinary people can do, Yang Zheng dared to let Chen Wu inscribe, and he was not blindly flattering, most likely because he saw Chen Wuqi, who was undoubtedly a person of insight.

Yang Zheng nodded and said, "It's a great blessing in life to be able to get my father-in-law's Mobao?" ”

Chen Wu saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and said happily in his heart: "Lord Yang said that he laughed, when our family was serving the master, the master also let our family read some books, read some words, and calligraphy together with a small success, but the Manchu Dynasty Wu didn't know that our family would be able to write a good hand, I didn't expect Lord Yang to see it, hehe, people say that the show is not going out, then you know the world, I didn't believe it in the past, today I believe it!" ”

Feng Bao and "Qingming Riverside Map": "Yu Shiyu's time, taste the picture books, see Zhang Zeduan's "Qingming Riverside Map" in the Song Dynasty, look at the essence of his character paintings, the wonder of trees and boats, the city bridge village Guo, out of the gods, like the real scenery in the eyes, do not feel refreshed, although the Sui Zhu is combined, not enough Yungui, the treasure of the world! It should be treasured. In the sixth year of Wanli, he was in the Jiqin Cha of Wuyin Mid-Autumn Period, the Governor of Dongchang Official School and the Imperial Supervisor, the Celebrant Supervisor, Zhenyang Shuanglin, and Feng Bao".

Translation: In my spare time serving the emperor, I once looked at the ancient books of famous paintings in the royal collection. I saw the "Qingming Riverside Picture" painted by Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty, the characters are finely depicted, the trees, boats, and cars, and the market wall are very wonderful, just like seeing the real environment and feeling comfortable. Even if those jewels and jade are measured, they are not as valuable as the painting, and they are indeed treasures in the world and should be treasured. In the sixth year of Wanli, when it was the auspicious time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qin Cha, the governor of Dongchang, the part-time emperor with management, and the big boss of the ceremonial supervisor, Feng Bao.
