Chapter 452: Night Talk Eunuch
This is also why, Jie would rather go back to Luoyang than take his troops to Yumen Pass. The countries of the Western Regions have been recovered. Jiede left the immortal merit of pacifying the countries of the Western Regions and sweeping away the Xiongnu to the Great Wei State.
Only by letting the people of the world know that I am the Great Wei State, and expanding the territory to the outside world. Be kind to the people within. Can it win the hearts of the people? Those who win the hearts of the people will eventually win the world!
Frustrated teaching: The lord has been taught with foresight. It should be like this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Xiongnu and let the Quartet surrender. But it only drove the Xiongnu to the west, and did not eliminate them.
If the lord can destroy the Xiongnu and recover the Western Regions, he will be able to show the prestige of my Great Wei to the outside world. Internally, it can deter people everywhere. Collect the hearts of the people.
Zhang Jie said: Jie not only wants to destroy the Xiongnu and recover the Western Regions, but also recover Sanhan and other countries. But there's no urgency right now.
Okay, two brothers, Liangzhou will ask the two.
Please rest assured that the minister will not be dishonored!
Three days later, Zhang Jie led the army and returned to Luoyang eastward. All the soldiers, basically from the Central Plains, are a little like arrows. The march was fast.
A few days later, the army arrived at Chencang. Xu Huang has been in Chencang for a long time, and this time he pacified Xiliang, and Xu Huang didn't catch up with it.
Meet the Lord! Xu Huang said!
Hehe, Komei, I'm sorry, I didn't let you fight a battle this time. Jie didn't expect that this time to pacify Liangzhou would be so fast.
I thought I would have to fight for a year and a half. Unexpectedly, Ma Teng was destroyed in the first battle.
Xu Huang said: Congratulations to the Lord for setting Xiliang. For example, most of the generals have recovered today, and the last general has not fought, which means that there are few casualties, and the brothers are alive to see the recovery of Xiliang, and it doesn't matter if the last general catches up or not.
Well! I didn't fight, but it was also a great achievement to protect the place.
Okay, brothers, rest in Chencang for one night, and let's go back to Chang'an tomorrow.
Promise!
Gongming, Chencang's strategic location is important, you send 3,000 people to stay.
Promise!
The lord, Sanguan, the last general also occupied, Ma Dai withdrew to Hanzhong, and Sanguan had no enemy army. Xu Huang said.
Well, Gongming sees far, and Sanguan is a strategic throat in Hanzhong in the south. In our hands, Cao Cao will have to attack again.
You arrange for your henchmen to guard, and you will go back to Luoyang with me tomorrow.
Promise!
A few days later, the army returned to Chang'an, and Chen Gong, Hao Zhao and others also went outside the city to greet them. Zhang Jie rested in Chang'an for two days before setting off for Luoyang. Zhang Jie wanted to rush back to Luoyang for the New Year.
But Chen Gong said: Xun Kan is dead, the letter is sent to Chang'an, and the palace is planning to send someone to Liangzhou.
Zhang Jie was a little heartbroken, last time he knew that Xun Kan was about to die, he was prepared, but he really died, and he still had some heartache in his heart.
And Gao Ran, it's going back to the state. Tibetan tyrant returned to Nanyang.
Gao Ran went from Chang'an to Bingzhou, then went to Hedong and went to the party.
Before parting, Zhang Jie said: This time I returned to Merge State, and you told Xing Ping that Xun Kan's position in the history of assassination would be taken over by him. Govern well and state. Jay trusts him and makes him feel a burden. Tell Zhongzhi that Xingbi and Jie are in-laws, and he is Xingbi's brother, so he is naturally considered Jie's in-laws.
Bury your friends well. I'm ashamed of my friend. Say hello to his wife for me. Ay!
Gao Randao: The last general understands, please rest assured. After returning to the state, he will visit Mrs. Xun for the lord.
Zhang Jie nodded.
A few days later, Zhang Jie returned to Luoyang.
Zhang Jie recovered Guanzhong, Xiliang, and Qiangdi this time. It only took half a year, and most of the time it was on the road. It was a big surprise.
Back at Wei Yan's Mansion, Zhang Jie picked up his daughter Bei Bei and let Bei Bei ride on his shoulder.
Hehe, did you miss you?
Zhang Jie is very precious to this daughter, and would rather give his daughter a horse to ride. But I don't care about my sons.
The little girl looks very much like her mother, and said happily: But I miss my father, but my mother always asks me to study, and I don't like it.
Hehe, it's not good if you don't read, and it's not good if you don't read and can't read. You have to be like your mother, a talented girl. However, if you really don't like learning, forget it! More on that later.
Cai Yan said: Shimin, you just get used to her! Chickens and dogs are jumping at home all day long, and now they start bullying people outside. What to do in the future!
Zhang Jiedao: Who can you bully in a girl's house? She can do whatever she likes! She can bully others, but others can't bully her, Lao Tzu's daughter is very precious. Don't worry about it, I think it's good for Beibei!
Do you have such a calf protector? You're used to her! In the future, if you get into trouble, don't say that I didn't have a good upbringing. Cai Yan said.
Zhang Jie said: Okay, children, it's not good to be too strict, and it deprives you of the fun of childhood.
Yan'er, it's the New Year, this year you prepare a New Year's gift for all the civil and military families who stay in Luoyang. Let Ma Lin arrange it.
Well, well! Cai Yan said.
In the evening, Zhang Jie called He Lian to Cai Yan's room. These two women are the two most powerful people in the house.
Zhang Jie said: Jie called the two of you together because he had something to discuss with you.
He Liandao: Are the people of the world planning to enter the palace?
Zhang Jie said: Yes, after the Chinese New Year, Jie plans to be the king and move into the palace again. It's just that some of them have to be discussed with the two of you beforehand.
Jie also doesn't know anything about palace management. But there is one rule, no other men are allowed in the palace. It's not that Jie is worried that these sisters in the house will betray me. The main thing is that this is to form rules, and it is also a symbol of imperial power.
There can only be a harem, palace maids, and eunuchs (in fact, the word eunuch only existed in the Ming Dynasty, and they were originally called eunuchs or palace slaves) palace maids, this is easy to do, just recruit some. But where can I find the eunuch?
I heard that there are only a dozen eunuchs in the palace now, but this is far from enough. And these eunuchs are all Liu Xie's.
He Liandao: Yes, there must be at least a few hundred eunuchs and thousands of palace maids. It's still too little today.
Cai Yan said: Ah! So much?
He Liandao: What is this! During the time of Emperor Ling, there were more than 1,000 eunuchs and thousands of palace maids.
Zhang Jie was also shocked when he heard it, damn, these ancient emperors are too perverted.
Think about it, Qing Kangxi said that there were 10,000 eunuchs and 100,000 palace maids in the Ming Dynasty, because the food supply could not be taken care of, and there were starvation deaths every day.
Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, and it is impossible to have so many, but the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were definitely the most numerous dynasties in ancient Chinese history. In the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs were not only not a lowly profession. And it can also glorify the ancestors. So many people are willing to be eunuchs. Wei Zhengxian heard that he went from the palace to be a eunuch.
According to Qing history, during the Qianlong period, there were more than 3,000 palace maids. There is a saying, called "Is it enough for three thousand six", roughly more than 3,000 palace maids, and then gradually decreased.
At the time of Guangxu, there were relatively few people, more than 1,900 people. These palace maids have strict rules and quotas for serving queens, concubines, etc. The Empress Dowager's Palace, 12 palace maids, the Queen's Palace, 10 palace maids, imperial concubines, 10 palace maids, concubines, and 8 palace maids, descended in turn.
It was not until 1924 that the eunuch system was completely abolished in the Republic of China, and finally 470 eunuchs were expelled from the court, most of them were placed in temples, and their lives were miserable.
