Chapter 3 The emperor has a lot of women

Zhang Cheng is now on the edge of the palace, and he is simply envious, jealous and hateful to the eunuch Zhang Whale who is the same time as him. Zhang Jing is now the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, who was ordered to supervise the Dongchang, and it can be said that Zhu Yijun's trust has been deep in the past two years.

In addition, with the support of Zhang Juzheng outside the palace, Zhang Whale is even higher.

What about Zhang Cheng? In charge of the school palace, the emperor is indeed very concerned, Zhang Cheng also knows martial affairs, and at the same time is in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, it seems that there is a lot of scenery, but the actual power and benefits are gone, how can Zhang Cheng be balanced in his heart.

While trying to perform on the side of the school palace, he secretly gave Zhang Whale eye medicine, but he didn't dare to be too blatant.

Zhu Yijun doesn't care about these things, there is competition to make progress, and there must be competition between eunuchs. Zhang Cheng's side was deliberately pressed by him, and he couldn't have an old man by his side, and no one would be available when he used it in the future.

Zhang Whale is looking at the scenery now, but he won't see what will happen in the future, besides, the school palace is very important, and Zhu Yijun is going to send some eunuchs over after a while.

There are a lot of eunuchs in the inner study hall, but in the past few years, it has had some effect, and many of them have been sent out with good grades, all of which have been sent to Xu De, and asked him to take Wu Qingbo to do business. These are all eunuchs who will be stationed in various places in the future, and they will run and run first, and they will have a long experience.

Zhu Yijun knows that there will be troubles or negligence in the eunuchs stationed in the local area, but sometimes he can't reach the sky in one step.

If he withdraws them, his hand will not be able to reach out to the ground.

Maybe the local civil officials are not of the same mind, and they fight fiercely all day long, and the officials in the court also fight fiercely, but you can try to reform. Don't talk about anything else, just say that if you want to implement it, you can ensure that all the people in the world oppose it.

At that time, they would not fight, they would definitely stand on the same line, and they were very united.

Without the eunuchs and brocade guards, the emperor can't even stretch out his hand, and sooner or later it will be over.

The school palace sent eunuchs to learn, of course, so that they could learn a little military things, and these eunuchs would be the eunuchs of the prison army in the future. Zhu Yijun sent the eunuchs to supervise the army not to meet those generals, and it was unrealistic to want to rebel with one general.

An Lushan Shi Siming of the Tang Dynasty, how powerful he is, he is a temperate envoy, and the rebellion has failed.

The Chen Qiao Mutiny of the Song Dynasty was in chaos at that time, there was no such thing in the Ming Dynasty, and if the general really wanted to rebel, it was not something that a eunuch could stop it. Zhu Yijun sent eunuchs to supervise the army, the purpose of which was for those civilian officials.

There are countless things that stumble on the military generals for the officials, and the military generals and civil officials are full of superiority, but when facing the eunuchs, many civil officials are still afraid.

Let the eunuch contact the civil official, and at the same time be able to get more accurate information, so that nothing will happen and the civil official will be deceived. Of course, there will be other measures, but at the moment the most legitimate one is the eunuch who oversees the army.

When Zhang Cheng came, he saw that Zhu Yijun was in a daze, so he obediently stood aside and waited quietly.

After a while, Zhu Yijun came back to his senses, glanced at Zhang Cheng, and said with a smile: "It's here!" ”

"Emperor, the old slave is here!" Zhang Cheng hurriedly smiled and quietly waited for Zhu Yijun's order.

"That's the case, I went to Cining Palace today, and the Queen Mother said that she wanted to give me a draft girl, I think you are also an old man in the palace, tell me about the draft girl!" Zhu Yijun was not embarrassed, and asked lightly.

Zhang Cheng was stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to ask about this matter, and at the same time, his heart moved, is this an opportunity for himself?

Choosing a queen for the emperor is a big event, if he can go through the queen's path, he will have a bargaining chip against Zhang Whale. Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng smiled directly and said, "Then the old slave will talk to the emperor." ”

"Let's talk about qualifications first, only women between the ages of 13 and 16, who are not doctors, non-witches, non-businessmen and workers, are eligible to participate in the draft." Zhang Cheng was really familiar with these things, and said directly: "The affairs of the draft are mainly responsible for the celebrant and the Ministry of Rites. ”

"When the time comes, the Ministry of Rites will send officials, and the celebrant will also send eunuchs to look for 5,000 women between the ages of 13 and 16 throughout the country. After the internal supervisor in charge of the draft takes a fancy to a certain woman, he will pay some silver coins as a dowry, and then order her parents to send them to Beijing in a certain month and year. After all the beauties gather in Beijing, they are grouped. ”

"On the first day after grouping, the internal supervisor still inspected and selected, and first eliminated a group of women from the overall appearance, such as slightly taller, slightly shorter, slightly fatter, and slightly thinner women were excluded from the palace maids. The next day, the selection was more careful, the internal supervision committee started from the five senses, checked the ears, eyes, mouth, nose, hair, skin, collar, shoulders, back, etc. ”

"Therefore, the chosen ones are asked to state their place of origin, name, age, etc., and if their voices are muffled, their voices are rough, or if they are panicked, they will be eliminated."

On the third day, the internal supervisor had another assessment standard, first measuring the women's hands and feet with a ruler, and then making them walk dozens of steps, and weeding out those with short wrists, slightly larger toes, or slightly irritable behavior. After three days, there were only about 1,000 people left. ”

Listening to Zhang Cheng's words, Zhu Yijun was a little embarrassed, although he thought before that the scale of the draft might be huge and the rules would be very strict, but this is too exaggerated, right?

"At this point, there is no matter of our internal supervisor, the Queen Mother and the Concubine will send Wen Po, who are the Queen Mother's personal maids and grandmothers as Wen Po, and Wen Po will introduce them into the secret room in turn for more detailed observation and selection."

"For example, probe its ru, sniff its armpits, and touch its texture, and screen out 300 people again."

After these 300 people were confined to the palace for more than a month, during this month or so, Wen Po and others would select 50 people as concubines according to their temperament, style, wisdom and wisdom and the emperor's preferences. ”

"Among the fifty concubines, the queen mother and the emperor elected the queen and the two concubines."

"Fifty?" Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Cheng and asked, seeing Zhang Cheng nodding, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate to enter the palace, fifty people and one man, how can you not fight for me.

Not to mention anything else, one a day and one night, it takes two months for a turn, and you can only contact a man once in two months, so you can imagine what the state will be.

Besides, it is impossible for him to run to spoil his concubine every night, and he will die.
