There are too many eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, resulting in too many men being castrated or actively castrated by the people.

This is a great destruction of human nature, and it also affects the population growth of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen wants to gradually eliminate this kind of creature that destroys human nature.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen's ban on the marriage of female officials in power in the inner court will also affect population growth.

However, Zhu Youzhen is not really strictly forbidden, but does not allow female internal officials to marry when they hold important positions in the inner court, which means that women still have the opportunity to marry after becoming internal officials, but they just need to apply for resignation.

And even if there are a large number of folk women who are actively interested in becoming palace officials in the future, only a few are really selected and will not marry for life, and those who are eliminated can still go out of the palace to marry.

If a female internal official becomes a eunuch with the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch, she can only not marry for life, and if she wants to marry, she can no longer serve as the master of ceremonies and the seal of the eunuch, and even other official positions in the inner court.

In layman's terms, whether you want power or love, choose for yourself.

And eunuchs are different.

Once a eunuch is not elected to the palace or is deposed, he will no longer be able to reproduce, and it will cause public security problems in society.

This is why Zhu Youzhen wanted to replace eunuchs with women to enrich the inner court.

Maybe one day.

There will not be another eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, and perhaps because the inner court will be filled by women, it will have a great impact on the science of science.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen couldn't predict the unpredictable consequences of letting a woman take charge of the inner court instead of a eunuch, and he could only set up a line of defense as much as possible now.

For example, never marrying for life, and even strictly prohibiting collusion between the clan vassal king and foreign court officials and internal officials, etc.

"Your Majesty, according to what you say, isn't it true that if there are really female eunuchs, then what if these female eunuchs raise many faces, wouldn't that be contrary to the Three Principles and Five Constants, how can the people of the world spare them?"

Chen Yuanyuan proposed the most likely phenomenon of the appearance of the female eunuch, so he showed a look of horror.

"Then how can I manage it, people raise faces, how can I know, besides, the world does not tolerate them, the inner court needs lonely ministers."

As he spoke, Zhu Youzhen heard the shouts of more than 2,400 women running from the square, and before he had run a few steps, the internal officials had already announced that they had given up and could no longer hold on.

Zhu Youzhen could only smile helplessly.

However, sometimes a woman's willpower and competitiveness are unimaginable to Zhu Youzhen, and after the physical training, there are still 2,000 internal officials left.

The 2,000 internal officials will be examined by the Hanlin officials of the Inner Book Hall, and the content of the examination is very simple, write a strategy and a poem.

However, in these years, women are virtuous if they are not talented, so there are really not many people who can read and hyphenation, but fortunately, Zhu Youzhen has asked Han Shoujing to pay attention to the selection of literate and hyphenated characters, so there are also 300 people who have been selected to study in the inner study hall.

And among these 300 internal officials who were elected to the Inner Library, it would mean that some people would enter the key departments of the inner court such as the Master of Ceremonies and the Imperial Horse Supervisor after three years of study, and from then on, they would rise to the top, and even serve as the Minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Even female internal officials who have not entered the celebrant and the imperial horse eunuch will directly hold the low-level official positions of the 24 Yamen because they have entered the inner study hall, or they will be placed in the Dongchang and local inner court institutions to serve as middle-level officials.

As for those who have not entered the inner hall, they will naturally start from the miscellaneous work first, and those who excel will naturally be promoted.

It is nothing more than the same reason that the cabinet of foreign dynasties must go to Hanlin, and the chief official must first choose a jinshi.

However, whether it is the inner court or the outer court, Zhu Youzhen will also change this rule again, and there is no reason why the Hanlin Yuan will directly enter the six cabinets.

Whether or not there is experience in local administration and the administrative experience of the central ministries and institutes will be regarded by Zhu Youzhen as the most important principle.

How these female internal officials are assigned and elected to the inner study hall, although the final appointment is still Zhu Youzhen's decision, he naturally does not have to ask about everything.

Now, Zhu Youzhen still has to pay attention to the fifty concubines he selected.

How to determine the rank of these fifty concubines is also a troublesome matter.

However, Zhu Youzhen thought that he was essentially a stallion and gave birth to more heirs, and he really didn't want to find any beloved woman to come to the Ming Dynasty's version of the Palace of Eternal Life, so he ordered the Ministry of Rites to give these concubines the title of nobleman.

The concubines of the Ming Dynasty have the ranks of concubines, concubines, concubines, nobles, talents, servants, and ladies.

Now Zhu Youzhen directly gave these new concubines the title of nobleman, which is not low, not stingy.

As for who among these fifty people can finally get Zhu Youzhen's favor and be promoted to concubine, concubine, or even to the queen of the concubine, Zhu Youzhen is naturally unpredictable.

Chen Yuanyuan also got the name of a concubine.

Because she has been with Zhu Youzhen for a period of time and has had a skin-to-skin relationship with Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen did not let Chen Yuanyuan enter the inner court in order to abide by the principle that female internal officials must not have an affair with the royal family, and still only took charge of his own life management in the Qianqing Palace.

Chen Yuanyuan has been here for a long time, and he is naturally one level higher than the new concubine.

How these fifty nobles follow their names is naturally a concern of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhu Youzhen doesn't care.

He has to be lucky one by one now, and he has to be wet with rain and dew one by one.

This is perhaps the greatest benefit of the emperor.

Having so many women has not been criticized by anyone, more than anyone else.

Even if Zhu Youzhen chose so many nobles to enter the palace now, it was also to let the entire Ming Dynasty have a better successor.

Fortunately, Zhu Youzhen has not yet reached the age of confusion, but he also has the energy to cultivate a few competitive adult princes, but he is not young now, so the time for stallion cannot be too late.

Considering the principles of self-cultivation, Zhu Youzhen decided to take the cycle of happiness as a seven-day cycle, so that the new nobles can have the opportunity to receive rain and dew every year.

Fifty noble people have always succeeded in fertilization.

Zhu Youjian's sperm cells are naturally no problem, and Yuan Guifei's successful conception is already proof.

Yuan Guifei has indeed given birth to a prince now, which can be regarded as the first child in the real sense after Zhu Youzhen crossed the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhen named him Zhu Ciyan.

When Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he set the rules for naming the heirs of the Zhu family, and Zhu Youzhen did not break it, and still let the last name of the eighth prince, who was not yet one year old, be removed from the fire, and the generations were divided into Cizi generations.

Zhu Youzhen counted seven sons who died before he crossed over, so Zhu Ciyan counted the eight princes in order.

Zhu Cihong, now King Hui, is the eldest prince.

Zhu Cijiong, who is now the king of Ding, is the third prince.

Zhu Cihuan, now King Yong, is the fifth prince.

Zhu Youzhen didn't expect that he would actually taste the taste of being a father in the Ming Dynasty, seeing Zhu Ciyan with pink makeup and jade made him feel like he couldn't put it down, and he couldn't help but come to see it when he came to the court, and Yuan Guifei also made him feel more cordial.

Of course, the number of times Zhu Youzhen has seen Yuan Guifei now is also related to the fact that he and the Empress Zhou have always had a relatively weak relationship.

Only at the beginning of the year, after Zhu Youzhen returned to Beijing from Henan, he spoke to Empress Zhou once, and the two were like a cold war, and there was no communication except for harmony in front of outsiders.

The biggest obstacle to the communication between the two is their different views on the question of whether to restore Zhu Cihong's position as the crown prince.
