The words that came out of Wang An's mouth really surprised Wang Chengen. ▲ ∴ top ▲ ∴ o'clock ▲ ∴ small ▲ ∴ said that x. According to Wang Chengen's current identity, he is just a small palace steward and eunuch, but Wang An said that he would be in charge of the inner court, so that he could not be surprised.

Wang An was charged with "unauthorized power" and was assigned to Nanhaizi as a pure army, and there was no shortage of people in the Manchu Dynasty who pleaded for him, but in this way, Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka found a basis, and added a charge of forming a party for personal gain to Wang An, so that Wang An's case was determined to be an iron case. Wei Zhongxian used his henchman Liu Chao as the head of the Nanhaizi Palace and the commander of the Jing Army, so that he could secretly execute Wang An to prevent future troubles.

Wang Chengen already knew this, but looking at Wang An's expression was as usual, in the blink of an eye, he had swept away the roast duck, beef and other things brought by Wang Chengen, and drank most of the bottles of wine.

Wang Anxin patted his stomach with satisfaction and smiled, "Happy, drinking and eating enough to go on the road is also a great joy in life!" ”

Wang An talked about some past events with a slightly drunken meaning. During the Wanli period, Chen Ju took over Zhang Hong's position as the master of ceremonies and the pen. Chen Ju, although he is a eunuch, is a person of noble character and indifferent to fame and fortune, and he has adhered to the eight-character mantra of "ancestral law and sage truth" all his life, and has done a lot of practical things for the country and the people.

In the thirty-third year of Wanli, Chen Ju took the seal of the master of ceremonies and the head of the East Factory, which is extremely rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years. But he did not abuse the power in his hands, but tried to correct the shortcomings of the times and benefit the world. Just the matter of asking for the abolition of the mining tax envoys in various places won the approval of the courtiers and the people.

Since the beginning of the Jiajing Dynasty, the party struggle above the court has slowly surfaced, and it has become more and more fierce in the Wanli period, and this bad sign has also spread to the inner palace. In light of this. Chen Ju was afraid that powerful ministers such as Wang Zhen and Liu Jin would appear again in the palace, so after getting the permission of Emperor Wanli, Chen Ju deliberately strengthened the role of the inner study hall.

In the Ming Dynasty, "non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet" has been a practice recognized by the government and the opposition, but the inner study hall established since the time of Emperor Xuanzong is still only a kind of training institution for eunuchs. What Chen Ju wants to do is to establish this kind of system of "no one who is not from the inner study hall is not allowed to enter the celebrant supervisor".

When Chen Ju was in power. With the support of the Wanli Emperor, he selected a large number of talents among the internal officials, including Liu Ruoyu, Chang Yun, Ma Jian, and others who were later able to become the master of ceremonies and the palm seal and the pen, and also maintained the stability of the government of the Wanli Dynasty from the side.

Of course, this also includes Wang An, who is a member of Feng Baomen. It was under Chen Ju's recommendation that Wang An was able to pass through the Guò Neishutang and become the accompanying internal official of Emperor Taichang, and became one of the celebrants. Later, he became a palm print eunuch.

When the Wanli and Taichang dynasties alternated, Wang An became the eunuch of the seal of the master of ceremonies as a subordinate of the Eastern Palace. But the good times did not last long, Emperor Taichang succeeded to the throne only a month before he died, and the favorite concubine Li Xuanzhi tried to hold the crown prince hostage, but fortunately Wang An rescued him, so he was able to inherit the throne in Shun Lì.

But he didn't expect that Wei Zhongxian colluded with the ** mother of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to deceive the Holy Hearing. framed Wang An, but in the final analysis. However, it was because Wang An adhered to the system left by Chen Ju that "those who are not born in the inner study hall are not allowed to enter the ceremonial supervisor". Wei Zhongxian himself is not a scholar or a skill, and he entered the palace after becoming an adult, so he is not qualified to be selected for the inner study hall at all. If Wang An was not overthrown, Wei Zhongxian would not be able to enter the center of the internal officials under any circumstances.

Beginning with the establishment of the Inner Shutang during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, a large number of eunuchs began to receive formal Confucian orthodoxy from an early age, and Wang Zhen and Liu Jin and others were like Wei Zhongxian. I didn't have any further study in the inner study hall, to put it bluntly, I haven't experienced the ideological education in the inner palace, and I don't have the concept of a family and a country, so it's not surprising that the government is in trouble.

From Huai En, Li Fang, Feng Bao, Chen Ju, Chang Yun to Wang An. The consistent concept upheld by these Ming ministers is to edify and guide the eunuchs with the thoughts of scholars and doctors, and the people who teach the scriptures and history in the inner study hall are all Confucians and even cabinet ministers in the court, so as to fully guarantee the basic quality of the central officials of the ceremonial supervisor.

It's just that Wang An was plotted by Wei Zhongxian in this process, which also interrupted the creed of "no one is allowed to enter the ceremonial supervisor unless he is in the inner study hall" passed down by Chen Ju and others.

Therefore, at this time, Wang An did not feel his own experience, but was more blaming himself for not being able to continue the ideals of his ancestors.

"Since the Jiajing Dynasty to the present, there has been no major chaos in the inner court for nearly 100 years, I can't imagine that this qiē has been destroyed in my hands, flattery, unknown people, there should be this report!" Wang An was in tears.

"Now, Liu Ruoyu, Ma Jian and others are dying and being degraded because of the relationship between the old man, and the inner court has completely become the world of Wei Zhongxian's party, plus the Hakka family controls the harem, the center of the inner court is already rampant with tigers and wolves, and the old man's sins are heavy!"

After suffering for a while, Wang An raised his head suddenly, wiped away the tears on his face, and slapped Wang Chengen's shoulder with his hand, "Now, the old man's hope is all on you, just like today's adventure, there must be no more." Shen Xiao, although he has no fame and no great reputation in Shilin, is a member of the clansman of Empress Xiaojing, the biological mother of the first emperor, because of this reason, the first emperor relied on him a lot. I believe that soon, he will rush back to Beijing, and you can rest assured that you will run an errand in the palace of King Xin, and after he arrives in Beijing, he will naturally contact you ......! ”

Before the words fell, there was a noisy voice in the silent front yard, Wang An hurriedly pushed Wang Chengen, "Leave quickly, you can't come here again in the future, be careful to serve in the palace of King Xin, and when Shen Xiao arrives in Jingshi, there will always be a turnaround!" ”

"Father-in-law!" Wang Chengen wanted to say a few more words to Wang An, but Wang An couldn't help but say it, pushed it into the depths of the rockery, and straightened his body and strode out. Before leaving the cave, he turned around and glanced at Wang Chengen, but his eyes contained a sense of relief and happiness.

"Here, old guy here!" The people outside suddenly made a noise, and the footsteps sounded, and there were more than a dozen people running towards the rockery.

At this time, Wang Chengen seemed to have a flame steaming in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent, so he could only slam the stone wall of the cave with his fist with hatred, and after a while, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly ran to the exit of the cave on the other side, carefully climbed the rockery, and hid between the gaps in the mountain wall to look far away.

The eunuchs who came were all eunuchs in the palace, and the grade was not high, and only one of them was a fat man dressed in cyan trolling, and at this time several small eunuchs had already pressed Wang An to the ground.

The fat man in Tsing Yi sneered, "Old thing, it's very hard, our family has been hungry for you for a few days, thinking that you have already returned to the West, I can't imagine that you can still survive!" ”

Wang An barely raised his head, a hint of sarcasm flashed on his wrinkled face, "Liu Chao, when my father was in the ceremonial supervisor, you were just a long-term attendant of the Bell and Drum Division, I didn't expect that after a few months, you turned into the commander of the Pure Army, I think you took Wei Zhongxian's door, and came here to eradicate future troubles for him, right?" ”

Liu Chao's fat face twitched slightly, and he slapped his fingers, and a little eunuch next to him immediately jumped over, waving his hand and slapping him twice, Wang An's cheeks instantly swelled, but he didn't realize it, just watched Liu Chao eat and laugh. "Okay, why bother, it's a good day today, so I'm on the road at this time!"

Liu Chao approached Wang An and looked up and down, "The old thing that eats the ancient has fallen into today's fate, I'm afraid you didn't even think of it!" Now that the Holy One has ascended the throne, you were originally the first to do it. No one can shake the position of the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, but why do you stick to those outdated rules and regulations, and cut off the path of our promotion, do you know how many people in this palace are eager to kill you with their own hands! ”

Liu Chao smiled, "There are many people in the court who are pleading for you, but now the master of ceremonies is the master of Wei, and those twists and turns are really impossible to enter the eyes of the saints, besides, the affairs in this palace, the foreign ministers can't interfere." You don't have to be so lucky, if you don't die, your disciples and grandchildren won't give up, and sooner or later it will be a trouble! Duke Wei has an order, give you a zhang of white silk, send your old man to the west, and ascend to Bliss early! ”

Wang An snorted coldly and didn't speak again.

The little eunuch next to him hurriedly brought the white silk, but Liu Chao shook his head, "Where the pickle in this clean room is, it is a tyrannical thing to use such white silk." He looked around and pointed in the direction of the clean room, "Let's use that!" ”

The little eunuch turned his head to look, and immediately understood, hurriedly ran over, and ripped off a piece of straw rope from the book next to the clean room, Liu Chao nodded with satisfaction, "Look at the appearance of this old guy now, it is very compatible with this straw rope." ”

Several little eunuchs wrapped straw ropes around Wang An's neck, and they were about to exert force, but Liu Chao waved his hand, "Wait!" ”

Liu Chao walked to Wang An's side and said with a smile: "Our family almost forgot, Duke Wei still has a few words for me to relay to you." The Son of Heaven first ascended to the great treasure, and now it is a waste to be revived, your promotion and fulfillment, Duke Wei and Mrs. Fengsheng are all inscribed, but this is the way of the world, you have blocked the way of so many people, and it is no wonder that others have ended up like this. Duke Wei knows that you have a good relationship with Shen Xiao, the younger brother of Empress Xiaojing, but this person once taught the prince in private, that is, the course of the current saint Long Live Lord, and Long Live Lord respects him very much. So, in order to prevent Shen Xiao from entering Beijing to avenge your grievances, there are complications. As for Duke Wei, he sent some people to Jiangnan. When you get to Huangquan Road, you might as well slow down, your old friend Shen Xiao may be coming to make peace with you! ”

"Thieves dare to ......!" This sentence was beyond Wang An's expectations, and he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but widen his eyes angrily.

Liu Chao waved his hand gently, and the eunuchs who were pulling the straw ropes on both sides suddenly exerted their strength at the same time, and Wang An's voice stopped abruptly. (To be continued......) R640
