The inner study hall was originally a place to teach the young eunuchs in the palace to read and write, and the eunuchs were of course not reading and writing for the purpose of reciting poems and writing articles, nor for participating in the imperial examination, which is very clear. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In fact, even if they want to, no one will agree, even if it is from later generations, Xiao Mu, who has received the educational concept of "everyone is equal" since he was a child, and has done a lot of "strange things" after crossing to the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that he will not agree with the idea of letting the eunuchs take the test to gain fame, and even have some rejection, after all, Xiao Mu has never been in contact with or even heard of the group of eunuchs in later generations.

Of course, those authors who are nicknamed "eunuchs" because of their unfinished literary works are not counted, and in fact, Xiao Mu, the "new eunuch" of this new era, has also not been contacted.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the status of eunuchs is lower than that of women - although in the Ming Dynasty, the status of women is not high, but at least Xiao Mu does not reject the idea of letting women gain fame, but also agrees with it very much, and letting Wang Jingyuan teach Xie Lianhui to read is a good example. And if it weren't for the constraints of the historical environment, Xiao Mu would definitely introduce some policies to encourage women to study, arrange for women to participate in the imperial examinations, and really select a group of capable women to serve as officials - these were all commonplace in later generations, and Xiao Mu certainly did not have any obstacles in his heart.

But in any case, the new issue of the "little eunuch" students in the inner study hall can be said to be fortunate in three lives: all the high-ranking officials in the capital who can be counted are all accompanied by them to class, and even the emperor himself also took time out of his busy schedule to come over to observe the scene, in this case, the little little price that the little eunuchs paid for this before is nothing.

Of course, the price mentioned here does not refer to the fact that they were just under Xiao Mu's order and made them wait for an extra hour. For this group of little eunuchs, being able to sit in the inner study hall for an extra hour means doing one less hour of work, which is obviously a good benefit rather than a price, not to mention that this hour's wait is in exchange for all the officials above the third grade in Beijing to come to accompany them, no matter what, the little eunuchs have earned.

In fact, before today, the little eunuchs were already very familiar with the inner study hall, and they were also very familiar with the content that might be taught today, because they had conducted no less than ten drills before this, and even without the need for Mr. to teach, the little eunuchs could also memorize a few enlightening sentences such as "At the beginning of man, nature is good".

The reason for all this is naturally because of Xiao Mu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty said before that he would come to watch it in person, although Xiao Mu himself was just saying it in passing at the time, and if it wasn't for Wang Chengen's reminder today, Xiao Mu wouldn't have remembered that he had said such a sentence at all. But since it was the emperor who said it, it was all Chrysostom, even if the emperor himself didn't take it seriously at all, and he didn't remember it at all afterwards, for the people below, he had to strictly implement it meticulously, who knows if one day the master wouldn't suddenly remember it again?

Therefore, although Xiao Mu himself did not pay attention to this matter, of course the eunuch who was in charge of the preparation for the teaching of the inner study hall would not think so, since the emperor Long Live Lord said that he would come to watch it in person, then we must take out twelve points of energy, ignite twelve points of enthusiasm, and put twelve points of energy into arranging this errand well, this is what we should do as slaves. And all this is to let the emperor see the good spiritual outlook of the inner study hall and the vigorous vitality of the new generation of little eunuchs in the palace, the ultimate goal is, of course, to make the master happy, as for what "behave well in front of the emperor, strive for a promotion in the palace, and get the favor of the emperor", everyone will definitely not have.

Therefore, the little eunuchs who were selected to participate in this morning's Inner Study Hall course were carefully selected, and the eunuchs who were responsible for the preparation of the Inner Study Hall began to grasp the height, shortness, fatness, and thinness, and behavior of each little eunuch, and carried out a strict screening of them -- don't be too tall or too short, don't be too fat or too thin, don't sit or stand, have a jumpy personality, have a withdrawn personality, are timid and easy to be nervous, and naturally don't want to do it all.

After careful comparison and brutal elimination, it was finally determined that there were thirty little eunuchs, who could be "lucky" to let the emperor see what they looked like when they were studying in the inner study hall.

Of course, the thirty little eunuchs who have obtained the qualifications cannot be left alone, and in order to make a good impression on the emperor, the inner study hall has also made careful arrangements for them, starting from the seats during the class to the content that may be covered in the first class.

Although it was actually Gu Bingqian, Feng Quan, Wei Guangwei and others who came to give lectures, there were also a few eunuchs who were a little literate in the inner study hall, and although they didn't want to be as well-known as Cao Huachun, they were still quite handy, and it was more than enough to enlighten the little eunuchs who had never read the book. So the inner study hall gathered the selected little eunuchs together and helped them "preview" the lessons that might be taught today several times, to ensure that every little eunuch would not be unable to answer when Mr. asked questions, and made jokes, so that the emperor would be displeased when he saw it.

However, this kind of "preview" is really difficult, because in the end, it was Gu Bingqian and other eunuchs who actually gave lectures to the little eunuchs. If the eunuchs on the side of the inner study hall come to teach in person, then they can 100% guarantee that the emperor will be happy when he sees it - after all, they have all rehearsed so many times, even if other little eunuchs who have not been selected, occasionally come over to watch the excitement on the side, watching them rehearse so many times, it is estimated that they can recite a few sentences along.

The preparation of the inner study hall was indeed not in vain, although the master Long Live Lord once forgot what he was going to watch today, but after Wang Chengen's reminder, the emperor still successfully recalled this incident, and said with great interest that he would come back to watch. And not only that, the emperor seems to be in a very good mood today, not only to come to watch himself, but also to make a decree that all the officials above the third grade in Beijing come to observe on the spot, so that the course that should have started a long time ago was postponed for an hour.

But this kind of thing happened, it is a good thing for the eunuchs who are in charge of the work of the inner study hall, so many officials have come to watch, let's perform well here, give full play to the level of the previous rehearsal, and let the ministers also understand the high-quality teaching level of our inner study hall, the emperor also has face, the emperor has face, and our hearts as slaves and maids are naturally comfortable.

Of course, all this complex, meticulous and full rehearsal work done by Neishutang was unaware of Xiao Mu, the initiator of the whole thing.

When Xiao Mu and Lin Yi came to the scene with Qian Qianyi, all the officials above the third grade in the capital were also all present. So, after so many rehearsals with makeup, the little eunuchs were finally going to really perform on stage - it was clear that today's scene was not so much about learning as about performance.

Due to the large number of people who came to watch the scene, the general room seemed to be unable to accommodate so many people, including the "actors" and "audience", so the first class this morning was temporarily arranged to be held outdoors, which somewhat changed the original "rehearsal plan". Although the eunuchs in charge of the inner study hall have suddenly explained a lot of precautions to the "little actors" in the past hour or so, they are all uncertain about the final performance effect.

The gentleman who came to give the first lesson to the little eunuchs today is Feng Quan, it stands to reason that among the three of them, Gu Bingqian is the most famous, and he should be allowed to take this first class, but Gu Bingqian has resigned and returned to his hometown due to Feng Quan's suppression and ostracism, although Xiao Mu has issued a holy decree to him to come to the inner study hall to teach, but Gu Bingqian's hometown Kunshan is really far away from the capital, and it is estimated that Gu Bingqian has just received the will at the earliest. Even if he left immediately after receiving the will (in fact, Gu Bingqian would definitely not be so efficient, after all, this is not a good thing, if Xiao Mu's will is to invite him back to be the first assistant, it will naturally be another matter), at this time, he must not be able to go far, and it will definitely be too late to come to this first class.

Since Gu Bingqian has not yet arrived, he can only "wronged" Feng Quan to temporarily serve as the leader of the three-person teaching team and take the lead in lecturing the little eunuchs. In the past, Wei Zhongxian was still alive, and when the eunuch party gained power, Feng Quan and Gu Bingqian did not deal with each other, and often attacked each other; Now that Wei Zhongxian is dead and the eunuch party has also collapsed, both of them have also been arranged to lecture the eunuchs in the inner study hall, and it seems that Feng Quan has taken the lead. As for Wei Guangwei, compared with the two of them, his sense of existence was not so strong when the eunuch party was in power, and now that he is here, he is naturally still a soy sauce existence - sure enough, it is still the same sentence, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Although he has not yet lectured to the little eunuchs, Feng Quan himself seems to have adapted to the new identity of the eunuch to read and write, wearing a green cloth robe representing the identity of the scholar, and walked on the podium unhurriedly, but because he was still wearing shackles on his feet, he made a sound of metal collision when he walked.

This actually made Xiao Mu feel very satisfied, the symbolic meaning of this shackle is definitely greater than the actual meaning, because it is this shackle, and the sound it makes, that is the best wake-up call for other officials who came to watch the scene!
