Chapter 376: Twitter and Twitter
The celebrant is the highest yamen of the officials in the imperial city.
At this time, the leader of this yamen, Wang Chengen, the great eunuch who was extremely loyal to Emperor Chongzhen, was pruning the flower branches with a pair of scissors in the courtyard, very focused.
"The prince serves the emperor day and night fairly, not leaving an inch, how can I be so interested in being free today" Chang Yu entered the inner courtyard and looked at the side for a while, then broke the silence and walked over with a smile.
"Hey, Grandpa Chang is here, I was a little distracted just now, I didn't pay attention to the coming, please, please" Wang Chengen turned around and smiled, and said slightly apologetically.
"Where, where, our family is idle, I heard that the prince was summoned, so I came to drink tea, but I don't know what the prince is looking for our family?" Chang Yu glanced at the tea set placed under the corridor and asked with a faint smile.
"The emperor is busy with government affairs today, and he doesn't need the old slave to serve, so he just steals half a day of leisure, and when he prepares some good tea, his father-in-law comes to chat," Wang Chengen said and made a gesture of please, and the two walked towards the corridor.
Fang San was just about to walk over to serve, Wang Chengen raised his eyes and glanced at him: "You go to play outside the courtyard, our family has to talk to Chang Gonggong about some trivial matters."
Fang San didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly said yes and left in a hurry.
Chang Yu only then discovered that there was no little eunuch serving in the huge inner courtyard, and now he had opened Fang San, and it seemed that Wang Chengen was not looking for himself today, it was not as simple as nothing to nag about.
Wang Chengen helped Chang Yu make tea, "This is the best 'Beiyuan tea' from the first five dynasties, two Song Dynasty, Yuan, so far the four dynasties are royal tribute, when our Ming Dynasty was just founded, Hong Wuye hand-picked this tea as a tribute......"
Chang Yu listened to him talk eloquently, raised his glass, and admired it again and again, but he kept thinking about what Wang Chengen wanted to say when he came here to find himself.
"It's been some time since the beginning of spring, but our city of Beijing is still cold and panicked" Wang Chengen saw Chang Yu after tasting a few times, looked at a few trees in the yard and sighed: "But it won't take some time for these spring branches to sprout."
Chang Yu nodded in agreement.
"So, before germination, these flower branches should be repaired first" Wang Chenen said and turned his head to look at Chang Yu, as if he was smiling: "This flower branch can sprout new sprouts after cutting, you said that if someone cuts off his arm or something, why can't he grow new ones!" ”
Hold the grass!
Chang Yu was shocked, it turned out to be this stubble, and this was clearly for his own little chatter.
In fact, after stabbing himself that night to prove his innocence, Chang Yu knew that he was as suspicious as Emperor Chongzhen and would soon think of this trick, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
To put it simply, he was worried that since Chang Yu had such a magical self-healing function, Xiao Jiujiu could also grow out, and if he was not careful, he would fornicate the palace!
In fact, since ancient times, eunuchs entered the palace not as rumored, before the early Qing Dynasty, most of the eunuchs just cut off the eggs, so that they do not secrete male hormones, not so much sexual impulse, just like the castration of animals, if it is a young eunuch so, Xiao Jiujiu will also stop growing, slowly shrinking like wheat, unbearable.
This is because at that time, the technology of cutting was not mastered, and it was easy to die, and it was not until the Qianlong period that this technology was mastered, and there was a click, and the children and grandchildren were in a nest, and the world was quiet!
Therefore, it shows that most of the eunuchs before the dynasty were chattering, but they were cut off the balls, and their desires became smaller, not in development, and they couldn't be **, but getting smaller doesn't mean that there are none, everything has accidents, and there are really a lot of eunuchs who fornicate with the palace
According to historical records, in the last years of Hongwu, when Shi Yun was appointed as the governor of Henan, he once went to the people for a private visit, and heard a sad cry from a family.
Shi Yun often reported this matter to the imperial court, and Zhu Yuanzhang played it on the spot, arresting the eunuch and condemning him to death.
In the first year of Jingtai (1450), Xu Guijuan, the right general of Datong, said that Wei Li, the eunuch of the supervising army, raped the wife of a certain military officer, and his wife did not obey, so Wei Lizhuan scolded the officer to death. Daizong Zhu Qiyu asked the patrol to inquire according to the imperial history, but there was no result.
In the first year of Tianshun (1457), Huo Xuan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, said that whenever Wei Lizhuan held a banquet, he would find prostitutes to accompany him and marry the daughters of his subordinate military officials as concubines. Yingzong was very angry, so he sent someone to arrest Wei Lizhuan and punish him according to law.
Most of those who were able to marry wives, take wives, eat in pairs, and have fornication with concubines or rape women by means of power were eunuchs of a certain status and eunuchs of a certain power. Eunuchs of lower status or eunuchs who held inferior duties in the palace often went out to prostitute themselves. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a place called "West Courtyard" in the Qinglou Teaching Workshop of Jingshi, which was dedicated to receiving eunuchs and general eunuchs in the palace. Such prostitutes are despised by their fireworks peers. Most of the eunuchs who came here were eunuchs who had been dismissed or young people among the eunuchs, and eunuchs with a certain status not only refused to go to the "Western Courtyard", but also if they heard that any eunuch went to prostitute themselves, they had to be severely punished, and some were even tortured to death. After the practice of pairing food in the palace prevailed, there were a few eunuchs who got along with a prostitute outside, and officially married her home.
During the Chongzhen period, the imperial court issued an edict prohibiting the internal prison from marrying wives and staying outside the prostitute, but it was finally not banned.
It can be seen that in fact, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are actually similar to normal people, but they are missing two eggs, and they are not so vigorous.
(Note: However, the plot of this book needs to make the protagonist and most of the eunuchs cut)
Wang Chengen stared at Chang Yu, not letting go of a trace of his expression, but although Chang Yu's mother sold batches in his heart, his surface was as stable as an old dog, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip: "As the old saying goes, dead trees can still meet spring, and it is common for old branches to sprout new shoots in people, so this must be no stranger to the prince."
What Chang Yu said makes sense, the human body has a self-healing function, not to mention anything else, even if the little jj is cut off, it will grow again.
The Qing Dynasty took the Ming Dynasty as a mirror, and after mastering the castration technology, the eunuch family of three was all cut off, but later the officials played to Qianlong, and the eunuch thing can grow to a certain length in many cases, which needs to be reviewed, Qianlong accepted the suggestion, and then the eunuch will be inspected every year, and the second castration is the origin of "shabu".
Wang Chengen was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, nodded slightly, looked at Chang Yu and said, "What about Chang Gonggong?" ”
Chang Yu smiled, got up and picked up the scissors on the table, walked to a flower branch on the side of the corridor, and stretched out his hand to cut off a branch: "Since the prince asked, our family doesn't dare to speak, our family has a special talent, and it is easy to send new branches, but every time it is reduced, every time it grows, so that our body is iron and can't bear it."
Wang Chenen frowned and nodded slightly, Chang Yu is right, I specially cut it for you, cut it and cut it long, cut it again, cut leeks, who can stand it.
"Princess, our family is loyal to the emperor for the country, and never greedy for lewd things, just ask the prince to say a few good words in front of the emperor, and leave our family to serve the country, if the emperor is not at ease, let our family stay in the barracks, and not involve the imperial city."
Chang Yu's words were concise and to the point, firstly, to show his heart, secondly, to Daopo Wang Chengen's search for him was actually Chongzhen's intention, and thirdly, it was actually to ask to go out of the palace to the barracks.
"Chang Gonggong's loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon, the emperor knows it, and he must be sympathetic to Chang Gonggong's inconvenience, but our family also said a word, Chang Gonggong is a eunuch, we are all eunuchs, we must not be officials, nor generals, one day as a royal servant, and a lifetime."
"What the prince said is that our family is not an official or a general, and it will not affect the loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor! However, please also ask the prince to say a few kind words in front of the emperor, our family does not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step in this matter," Chang Yu hurriedly said.
"When it is, when it is" Wang Chenen nodded, beckoned Chang Yu to sit down, and made tea again: "Actually, it's just idle chatter, by the way, I heard that you had some trouble outside last night?" ”
Last night's incident reached the palace this morning, Chang Yu was not surprised at all, although he was able to mobilize the Jinyi Guard, but after all, their master was Chongzhen, and everything was reported, no matter how big or small.
And Wang Chengen, as Chongzhen's closest confidant, naturally knows a lot of confidential information, but his question seems to be just curious.
