Nine hundred and sixty-nine The choice of the right one

Why rebel?

Now, does it still make sense to ask such a thing?

The establishment of the Great Qin and the fall of the Great Ming Dynasty have become an established fact, and it makes sense to think about these issues now?

Anyway, Xiao Ruxun thought it was meaningless, so he didn't plan to answer, he didn't even think about it, and just left.

Again, his time was precious, and now he didn't even dare to spend too much time sleeping.

There are too many things to arrange, too many things to do, and the meals eaten that night are directly transferred from the army to the old firehead of Myanmar into the palace to do, and the original people in the palace are not at ease, so they sent the old firehead from Myanmar to act as the imperial cook.

It is said that in the Ming Dynasty, there was no such institution as the imperial dining room, and the earliest emperor was responsible for the Guanglu Temple to eat, but the Guanglu Temple is equivalent to the current collective canteen, cooking and cooking are decent, and the big pot of rice is really not delicious.

Later, it was said that because the cooking in Guanglu Temple was so unpalatable that the Beijing division was famous, the emperor couldn't stand it, and the emperor was not very willing to go out to wander around since Emperor Jiajing, so he simply handed over the cooking to the eunuchs to be responsible, and the eunuchs were responsible for purchasing ingredients for the emperor to cook and eat.

The eunuch is decisively much more intimate than the cook of Guanglu Temple.

For example, in order to show saving and piety, Emperor Chongzhen eats vegetarian food with the queen ten times a month, but the real vegetarian food even ordinary people feel tasteless, not to mention the emperor who eats from a small brocade cloth, the emperor decisively thinks that vegetarian food has no taste, and his pious heart begins to waver, so the eunuchs thought of a way.

The whole goose is gutted off, stuffed into a vegetarian dish and boiled, washed with wine after taking it out, and then cooked with sesame oil.

It can be seen that the eunuch is indeed a very intimate existence, for the emperor to do many things that normal people can't think of, and there are no descendants, it can't be inherited, there is only the emperor as the backer, not for the emperor but for the emperor to die, where to find such a loyal servant?

Xiao Ruxun also began to have a headache about the tens of thousands of eunuchs left in the Ming Palace, and the question of whether to keep eunuchs in the future.

There is no doubt that the eunuch group is the most intimate loyal servant group of the royal family of the centralized unified dynasty, and it has even developed to the point of indispensability.

For the emperor of the great unified regime, the eunuchs were castrated first, had no fertility, and could not have offspring, so it was impossible to pass them on, whether it was power, wealth, or status, they were all floating clouds, all given by the emperor, and they would be taken back after death, which was a good deal.

After the eunuch is castrated, it is impossible to be accepted by the original family, and the era of blood inheritance when you are castrated means that you are isolated from everything in the past, and you can only have such a home as the royal family for a lifetime, and it is impossible to have another home.

Therefore, the eunuch will always be the emperor's vassal, no matter how monstrous the power is, as long as the emperor says a word, it will be taken down, the eunuch of the Tang Dynasty took the opportunity of the Anshi Rebellion to grasp the military power and get rid of the reins, but after that, the eunuch has never escaped the emperor's grasp.

In a word, the most loyal is the eunuch.

In the face of the desire for power positions of the civilian and military cliques, it is often difficult for the emperor to compete alone, and the founding emperor often has great prestige and influence to do this, but it is difficult for future emperors.

However, through the existence of the eunuch group, the emperor can balance the forces of the government and the opposition through the eunuchs who are completely devoted to the emperor, so as to achieve the status of self-supremacy, so the eunuchs have been designated by the emperor himself for most of the time in history, and everything they do is instructed by the emperor.

And not to mention anything else, the eunuch can also ensure that the emperor's harem will not be in chaos, so that the emperor's head will not be green and good-looking, and it can also ensure the cleanliness of the royal bloodline, and one thing, if the eunuch is abandoned and replaced by a female official, there will always be some heavy work that a female official cannot bear, not to mention something that it is impossible for a woman to do when she goes out to announce the decree.

And the emperor always has some privacy that needs some absolutely reliable people to do, and eunuchs are the best choice.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Ruxun decided to continue to keep the eunuch group.

and ordered Zhou Yao to start selecting young chamberlains under the rank who could continue to be retained in the Ming Palace and had nothing to do with the royal family, and those young eunuchs and eunuchs who were too involved with the royal family could be excluded.

Hell knows what these guys will do for their masters.

But there will always be some things that need to be done by eunuchs in the future, whether it is the daily life of the palace or political needs, Xiao Ruxun must ensure that there is a reliable group of eunuchs to use, these loyal guys who have nothing else to think about are really the best back-bearers.

As for the illegitimacy of the eunuch group itself, Xiao Ruxun didn't want to think about it too much.

What era considers the things of what era, in this era, the imperial power is the greatest, the stability of the imperial power is the most important, and everything else can be sidelined.

Lying in the side room of the Imperial Palace, Xiao Ruxun rubbed his eyes a little tiredly.

Anyway, it's a really amazing feeling.

Once you decide to be the emperor, you suddenly find that you don't even have much time to sleep, there are always such and such things that need to be arranged and done, and there are always such and such things to worry about and doubt.

And this feeling of being alone is really not good.

However, Xiao Ruxun did not plan to call Caiyun and a pair of children and his old father to Jingshi at the moment, everything was not settled at the moment, he would at least wait until Jingshi was completely in his hands before ordering his family to be brought from Myanmar.

At least Myanmar is much safer than Jingshi at the moment, and Xiao Ruxun doesn't want to put his family in danger.

Therefore, the speed of mastering the Jingshi must always be accelerated, the family must always be by your side to be reliable, and the son must also be by your side to take it personally.

Since he has become the emperor and has no other son at the moment, Zhenbang is the best candidate for the crown prince, if he does not take Zhenbang with him to teach, Xiao Ruxun is not worried that he will hand over the great dynasty to him after his death.

In the importance of this huge foundation, Xiao Ruxun feels that he must always let him know something.

Xiao Ruxun slowly fell asleep with such thoughts, and because he thought too much, he woke up after only sleeping for more than two hours.

"Someone! What time is it? ”

Xiao Ruxun rubbed her eyes and called for someone to come in.

It was Zhou Yao who came in, he didn't leave all night, he spread a blanket outside and slept against the wall, keeping vigil for Xiao Ruxun, as soon as Xiao Ruxun shouted, he woke up and ran in quickly.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not yet time."

Xiao Ruxun stood up and stretched.

"Get me some water, I'm going to wash up."

"Yes!"

Zhou Yao hurriedly went out to get water, because he was inexperienced, he was a little sluggish, Xiao Ruxun was a little impatient, so he found a few palace maid-like women to send Xiao Ruxun things for washing, and also told Xiao Ruxun that he was not prepared, and it was really a capital crime.

Is this also a capital offense?

"Forget it, the first time, everyone didn't prepare, this was not your responsibility, it wasn't your fault, did you wash it?"
