Chapter 9: The Reform of the Inner Chamberlain
After finishing the matter at hand, Chongzhen led Wang Chengen to the harem happily, things went relatively smoothly, so Chongzhen's mood was also very good, but with the sound of a duck like a slave and maid to see His Majesty, Chongzhen was not in the mood at all, how to listen to how uncomfortable, the birth of this eunuch is simply against the original intention of Nuwa Niangniang to create people, in addition, if Adam put everything at that time, calling Eve every day dear doll, I don't know how Eve feels, Chongzhen can't help but think for a while, In modern times, although Thailand is rich in shemales, the visual effect of the shemales is better than that of eunuchs?! The voice sounds like a beautiful woman's voice, and it's a beautiful feeling both visually and audibly, not like a eunuch who makes people irritable! So he beckoned to Wang Chengen and said, "Big companion! I've got something to do with you! β
"The old slave doesn't dare!" Wang Chengen was taken aback by what Chongzhen said, and the emperor still discussed things with me?
"You say! What would you think if I abolished the eunuch system? From now on, the palace will revoke the clean room and no longer recruit eunuchs! Chongzhen said firmly. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Looking at Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Chengen thought to himself: "Listening to your tone, where does it seem like a discussion?" But Your Majesty has been since he woke up! Unlike before, a lot of things are starting to be arbitrary! β
"Your Majesty! It's been thousands of years! It's all like that! If this is cancelledγγγγγγ Not quite right! It's not quite in line with royal majesty! Wang Chengen said.
"It's been thousands of years, how many things have changed, and what doesn't apply must be discarded, how many good men's dreams have been ruined by this eunuch system! Happiness, huh? You're right? And is the royal majesty displayed by eunuchs? Chongzhen smiled.
"Your Majesty, if there are so many eunuchs at once, there will be a shortage of many people in the palace, and many things will not be able to be carried out!" Wang Chengen said.
"You can recruit palace maids! There is no heavy work in the palace, wouldn't it be nice to let the guards do it temporarily? Chongzhen said.
"But this γγγγγγ Otherwise, Your Majesty should discuss it with the ministers," Wang Chengen said with a cold sweat.
"Consult with them? It's my family business! You still need to discuss with outsiders! I'll talk to my concubines later! Big Companion! Look at it, now the eunuchs with good ability will be put in the East Factory, let Zhu Gonggong cultivate them well, and let them become useful talents for my Ming Dynasty! Chongzhen said.
"The old slave obeys!" Wang Chengen also thought in his heart, and he didn't know whether His Majesty's move was a blessing or a curse, of course, everyone always has their own hardships when they come to be a eunuch, and life can be better, who wants to be a eunuch, isn't it, Wang Chengen shook his head.
Chongzhen saw Wang Chengen's expression, and he said: "I know that they all have their own hardships and difficulties when they come to be eunuchs, and the lives of ordinary people are not easy!" I will try to make the people live a good life! Rest assured! β
"The old slave thanked Your Majesty for the people of the world!" Wang Chengen knelt down and kowtowed!
"Otomo! What are you doing! Chongzhen hurriedly helped him up!
"The old slave is happy for the common people, happy for His Majesty!" Wang Chengen said!
"I'm happy for the people, I understand, how can I be happy for me?" Chongzhen asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty can think for the people and serve the people wholeheartedly! Your Majesty is a famous monarch in the world, with the hearts of the people, Zhongxing Daming is just around the corner! Wang Chengen replied with a smile.
"Huh! That's a good point! One step at a time! I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! That's right! Did you send someone to ask Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan to come to the queen's side to dine together? Chongzhen asked as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Your Majesty, rest assured! The old slaves have done it properly! Wang Chengen said with a smile.
"Good! Let's go! The queen may have to wait! Chongzhen said happily.
Soon, he came to the queen's bedroom, and as soon as he arrived at the door, Chongzhen shouted: "My good Ning'er, I'm here!" Wang Chengen listened to the whispered laughter behind him, and the guards at the door also held back a laugh, His Majesty the Emperor, what's the matter, it wasn't like this before!
"! Qiao'er found that His Majesty is very cute now! Qiao'er covered her mouth and smiled!
"Don't talk nonsense!" Empress Zhou blushed and scolded with a smile, quickly tidied up her clothes, and took Qiao'er to greet Emperor Chongzhen.
"Concubines, see Your Majesty," Empress Zhou saluted to Chongzhen.
"Slave maid, see Your Majesty," Qiao'er also saluted behind the queen.
Chongzhen held Queen Zhou: "Let's be even!" Qiao'er is getting more and more beautiful" Chongzhen said, although Qiao'er's voice was very low in it just now, it was obviously heard by Chongzhen, so he quipped.
Qiao'er blushed, and hurriedly said, "The slave maid goes down to prepare a meal!" Then he ran away, listening to Chongzhen's unbridled laughter behind him, and couldn't help but blush.
"Your Majesty! Don't make fun of her! Empress Zhou took a deep look at Qiao'er who ran away, and glanced at Emperor Chongzhen with disgust!
Stopping the laughter, Chongzhen said: "While the meal is not ready yet, Ning'er will give me some advice!" β
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Queen Chow Road.
"That's right! I plan to abolish the eunuch system from now on, and only recruit palace maids in the harem, not eunuchs! In the future, there will be no eunuchs in my Ming Dynasty. Emperor Chongzhen said.
"Abolish the eunuch system?" Empress Zhou was shocked, this is something that no emperor has done for thousands of years, will it make the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and the people of the world say something about Your Majesty, damaging Your Majesty's prestige? Empress Zhou thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty! This is not very suitable, for thousands of years, all dynasties have used eunuchs, will this abolition make the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, what the people of the world say, when the time comes, it will damage the majesty of His Majesty It is not good. β
"What nonsense can you say, this is my family affair, and I strive to make the common people live a good life, which man wants to be a eunuch? You ask the eunuchs in the lower palace, if their family is doing well, who wants to come? Right! Chongzhen said patiently.
"But it'γγγγγγ like this" Empress Zhou was a little afraid to say
Chongzhen knew what she was going to say, so he said, "Ning'er! I know that the people can't live a good life all at once! But I'll work hard, I have to take it one step at a time! β
"Now that Your Majesty has made a decision, the concubine won't say much! But there are many palace maids, and when they reach a certain age, they will have to leave the palace, so many old girlsγγγγγγ Empress Zhou said bitterly.
"I've thought about it! Every year, the palace maid Ning'er who wants to leave the palace will count the number of people and give rich rewards, if you want to go home, go home, and if you want to stay, whether you want to go home or stay, I will pick out some elites in the palace and let them go on a blind date, and if you look at the right eye, we will hold a collective wedding for them, with us covering, I think those big bosses will not bully these palace maids! Ning'er, what do you say?" asked Chongzhen gently.
"The concubines thank Your Majesty for all the palace maids in the harem!" Empress Zhou bowed to Emperor Chongzhen.
"Ning'er, what are you doing, hurry up!" Chongzhen hurriedly helped up his beloved wife.
"Your Majesty has solved the troubles of many palace maids in this way, because when they leave the palace, many of them are older and have become old girls, it is difficult to marry, many of them have become old girls, and even if they are married, their lives are not very good!" Empress Zhou said quietly.
They are only twenty-six or seventy-eight when they leave the palace, this age is the golden age, but the times are different, Chongzhen sighed and said: "They have dedicated their youth to our royal family, I have to do something for them!" β
"The concubine will tell them the good news in a moment!" Queen Zhou said, "That's right! Then what will His Majesty do with these eunuchs now?" Empress Zhou said again.
"I asked Daban to select some that can be cultivated and put them in the East Factory for further study, training, and I can make greater contributions to my Daming in the future! Let's keep the rest in the palace, this batch is also the last batch. Chongzhen said.
"That's great!" Queen Chow Road.
"Your Majesty! Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan have arrived! Wang Chengen said.
"Okay! Let them in! Set the table and get ready to serve! Chongzhen smiled.
"The old slave obeys!" After speaking, Wang Chengen said goodbye and went to arrange
"Concubines, see Your Majesty!" The two beautiful concubines saluted Chongzhen together.
"Come on! Concubine Yuan! Sit beside me! Chongzhen smiled and pointed to the position next to him!
Concubine Yuan was a little flattered, and said shyly: "The concubine obeys the order!" "I happily sat next to Chongzhen, Concubine Tian looked a little jealous, His Majesty used to be very spoiled by himself, why now? Before she could think about it, she heard Chongzhen say: "Concubine Tian! You can play a tune for me and the other two sisters first, and then eat! If you're happy, let's have a cheerful tune! I'm rewarded for doing a good job! Chongzhen saw the change in Concubine Tian's eyes just now, the corners of her mouth were crooked, and she knew what this Nizi was thinking, so she had the previous words.
Concubine Tian was overjoyed, and said happily: "The concubine obeys the order!" Then he sat down and talked, Chongzhen closed his eyes very cooperatively, and began to shake his head, people who don't know still think that Emperor Chongzhen is a master of art! In the words of later generations, this emperor is really a work!
When the song is finished, the dish will just be served, according to Chongzhen's regulations, four dishes and one soup! Chongzhen looked at it and nodded with satisfaction! "Good! The dish is good, and the song of this concubine is better! I'm very happy today! What do you have to offer? In this way, I will go to Concubine Tian to sleep tonight, so decided! Is Aifei satisfied? Chongzhen looked at Tian Guifei with a wicked smile.
"Concubineγγγγγγ The concubine "The concubine has been a concubine for a long time, but she can't say the next words, Tian Guifei blushed with shame, so many people, the queen is still here, you can't say that the concubine is very satisfied, what's wrong with this emperor? ! Tian Guifei was shy and happy in her heart!
"Haha! Come, come and eat together! Chongzhen didn't tease her anymore and greeted.
"Sister! Come here! The queen also smiled lightly, and Concubine Yuan was also secretly smiling, but she was also a little disappointed in her heart, why didn't she go to me?
"I'll go to you tomorrow night" Suddenly the voice of Emperor Chongzhen came to her ears, Concubine Yuan suddenly turned red at the root of her ears, nodded lightly, and rubbed her clothes with her two hands in a panic, Chongzhen looked at this Concubine Yuan, and smiled in her heart, this Concubine Yuan is so cute! I really want to hug and kiss one now, but I want to think about it, after all, it is impossible to really kiss one now, it is rude.
Queen Zhou watched from the sidelines, smiling very gently, she didn't look jealous, she felt that such a majesty made her like it very much, and it felt like home, very warm. Chongzhen also smiled softly at her, and the two seemed to have the same heart!
"Come on! Tian Aifei, I will clip a piece of meat for you, I just played the piano hard! Chongzhen smiled.
"Concubine Xie Your Majesty!" Tian Guifei said happily.
"That's it! Eat as a family, don't be too restrained! I don't like that! Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking! It doesn't apply here, it's too stuffy! Come! Tell me about your interesting stories these days," Chongzhen laughed.
At first, the queen began to say that the queen knew that His Majesty the emperor was different in the past few days, so she was not as restrained as before, so she began to smile and began, and then entered a pleasant atmosphere, and the family finished eating in a cheerful atmosphere.
After eating, Concubine Yuan and Concubine Tian both went back with their own expectations, especially Concubine Tian, who seemed to be a little impatient, Chongzhen smiled at her, making Concubine Tian Fei also retire.
Empress Zhou went to gather all the palace maids in the harem to announce Emperor Chongzhen's decision.
"Otomo! Go and gather all the eunuchs, and announce my decision, and gather some of the royal guards, except for those who are guarding the important places, and call the others! I came to announce," Chongzhen said
"The old slave obeys!" Wang Chengen said respectfully.
Soon, the people arrived, and they all brushed and said: "See Your Majesty!" Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! β
Look at the group of big men kneeling down below! Chongzhen smiled and raised his hand: "All the soldiers are flat!" β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I have summoned you suddenly today for an important announcement! And guess what? Chongzhen smiled.
What? The important thing? Is this about disarmament? No way? Looking at His Majesty's smile on his face, is he trying to give us a boost? It doesn't seem to be possible, now that the court is also poor, it is already thankful that it can be paid on time every month, the Bodhisattva blesses! The most important thing is that the emperor said that you should guess that you really want to guess, guess the holy will, not look for death?! Then there was another chorus: "I don't know the lowly rank!" β
Chongzhen also knew that there would be such a situation, so he continued: "You say, how do these palace maids look in this palace? β
What do you mean? Let's evaluate the appearance of the palace maid? Aren't these palace maids all for the emperor? Can we talk nonsense?
Seeing that there was silence below, Chongzhen said: "I let you say, you just say, twist and pinch, like a girl!" You're still not gentlemen! β
No way! Say we're not gentlemen! If it were a different person, it was estimated that this group of big bosses would go up directly and hack to death the person who spoke, but it was the emperor who spoke, of course they didn't dare, but it was unbearable to say that we were like girls, so someone replied: "They are all very beautiful, all of them are Meinuo fairies!"
"Yes, yes! It's all good-looking! is more beautiful than the girls outside" and then there are all kinds of voices, anyway, the unified evaluation is beauty.
Nonsense! I want you to say! Isn't it beautiful to come to the palace to be a palace maid for me? This is the essence of the beauty of the world! Of course, there must be other beauties who didn't come, like Qin Huai Bayan or something, but sooner or later they are all mine, Chongzhen thought secretly. I pressed my hand, and it was immediately quiet below.
"Good! Since you all think they are beautiful, do you want to marry them? Chongzhen smiled.
What the?! Is there such a good thing? Impossible, right? The crowd thought.
"What? Think it's impossible? Am I kidding? Chongzhen pretended to be angry.
"Don't dare!" The crowd trembled.
"I tell you, this is true, when they are in the palace until they are old enough to leave the palace, I will hold a blind date, for example, there are 100 palace maids out of the palace this year, then 500 unmarried elites will be selected from you for blind dates, let them choose by themselves, this depends on your own performance, show your own personal charm, after the selection of both parties are satisfied, I will give you a marriage, for you to hold a wedding!" Chongzhen announced.
it! It's pie in the sky! Is there such a good thing? Did the emperor take the wrong medicine today? Or did you break your brain before? But whatever? It's a good thing for them, not to mention marrying a beautiful woman and going home, even if the emperor gives a good thing like marriage, it's already a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, the ancestral tomb is smoking, and when the time comes, it's good to brag when you go back, pretend to be forced to the neighbors, and you can also hold your head high when you go out! Then everyone cheered in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! β
"Don't be too happy! Remember what I said earlier? It's the elite! Not everyone can! Every year, we will have people review it, and only those who pass it can participate! So behave yugly! Chongzhen said.
"The lowly rank will not disappoint Your Majesty!" The crowd cheered again.
"That's good! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do! Step aside! Tell the news to those brothers who didn't come! Chongzhen waved his hand!
"Retire from your duties!" Everyone cheered, and after kneeling, they couldn't wait to retreat to share the good news with their brothers!
Some people are happy and some are worried, which people who are already married only hate that they got married too early, but there is no way, why can't we? You can also marry as a concubine! It's really not good, it's useless to be her wife! But this is not what Chongzhen thinks, to have a harmonious society! Right! Of course! More people are happy! They all secretly vowed to do a good job! As a result, many people everywhere will think of a burst of cheers from time to time, and they all shout Long live His Majesty the Emperor! The ministers who were still working in the palace were stunned, what happened to this group of rough people today? Epileptic seizures? Got the wrong medicine? They all shook their heads and didn't know why, but then when they went to court every day, they would find that the spirit of the original lazy Imperial Forest Army was different, as if they were a person, all of them held their heads high, and they began to work hard when they trained, and they were meticulous when performing tasks such as inspections, and their work attitude was extremely serious, and the silver couldn't move. Don't want any money? The officials are depressed, what is the situation with this? What the hell is going on? This day has made many people remember the day that changed their lives!
