The beggar gang had just barely passed, and the eunuch gang had an accident again.

On September 15, the fourth year of Daming Honghua, the eunuch gang rebelled.

As the second largest gang in the world, the eunuch gang is actually a gang directly controlled by the imperial court, and every eunuch disciple is registered in the imperial court, and can even receive allowances from the imperial court.

The current leader of the eunuch gang is Gao Yingyao, and the prison gang is Yu Zhenqia, both of whom are from the inner court.

The eunuch gang numbered tens of millions, all of which were made up of eunuchs.

There are two types of eunuchs.

Let's start with the first one.

The royal law of the Ming Dynasty clearly stipulates that the second son of the royal family is a scholar, the second son of a scholar is a commoner, the second son of a commoner is a pariah and the second son of a untouchable is a eunuch. That's how the first type of eunuch came about. They account for the vast majority, numbering tens of millions of sons. They didn't want to be eunuchs, but they were castrated anyway.

The second is to actively seek eunuchs.

Most of them were eunuchs. Those lowly commoners became eunuchs in order to become noble scholars, such as Dongfang Liang and Dongfang Qiang. There are also some imperial officials in the inner court, who are from Wenju people, such as me. The water flows to the lower places, and the people go to the higher places, and there must be a reason to do this, and there is no great benefit for anyone who wants to suffer this sin.

In some large places, eunuchs are popular.

The youngest son of every family had to be castrated, and the closer to the court, the stricter the law, and the eunuchs in large places were easy to find work, and there were many people who took the initiative to become eunuchs. Our little place is too remote for many eunuchs. It's not that people don't want to, it's because: first, people don't have the skills, and second, they don't have luck.

Why? Because eunuchs only have to pay half of the tax. In the past, the Second Ministry of Survival was in power, and it was a national policy to reduce the population, and the eunuchs contributed to this, of course, by paying taxes and halving the forced labor.

Of course, this is before.

Now after the Great War, the population is declining and the Ministry of Survival comes to power. Now the national policy was to increase the population, so the court issued a new royal law: eunuchs had to pay twice the amount of taxes and levies. This is easy to understand, now the population is too small, and the eunuchs cannot have children, so they will naturally be punished.

The imperial court recognized that the eunuchs of the second survival department were wrong, and promised that they would no longer be eunuchs, and even to cancel the eunuchs and ban the eunuchs.

The eunuchs were furious: "Damn, I'll take the test!" Is this nonsense in the imperial court? ”

Therefore, the eunuchs reversed.

I can't help but think that people's grievances will be strongest when they are acknowledged—another paradox.

For example, when I am insulted by others, I endure it when I am insulted, and continue to endure it after the insult is over. But when that person's conscience discovers and admits his mistake, my anger is the most unbearable, and I will scold him angrily.

If I had calmed down, I would have said to myself: Stop, you can't scold the other person just because they admit their mistakes.

But the eunuchs obviously don't have this measure.

Their anger burned their bodies, and hundreds of thousands of eunuchs began to gather at the intersection of Chang'an City.

This is obviously too impulsive, because the royal Daming law stipulates: even if a threesome person gathers illegally, he will be sentenced to death, not to mention hundreds of thousands of people gathered at the intersection of Dijing Road!

They shook their fists and roared: "Why did you castrate us in the first place? Why don't you castrate us and not castrate others? Is it a fart when the court speaks? ”

They put forward their proposition: "All policies remain the same!" Keep castrating! Taxation and forced labor continue to be halved! ”

At the court meeting, the ministers were discussing this issue.

Prime Minister Li Guozhong: "Bold rebels, dare to block Chang'an." Block Chang'an today, block the palace tomorrow, and be the emperor the day after tomorrow! I suggest that the Imperial Army be sent to kill them all immediately. ”

Yang Mingyang, Minister of Survival and Law, said: "The law is the law. We formulate, they comply, there is nothing to say. I also suggested sending troops to show them the authority of the law. ”

Sun Haomiao, the head of the military department, stepped forward and said: "The eunuch gang is not the group of cowards of the beggar gang!" There are many eunuchs, everyone can fight, and they don't want to die. Besides, these people have always been loyal to the imperial court, what are they messing with? ”

Li Guozhong said: "Is it the imperial court or the eunuch gang? Let's see their faces? ”

Emperor Zhu Honghua sat on the dragon chair, he nodded, opened his mouth and was about to speak.

At this time, Jin Yuguang, the head of the household department and the head of the Jin family in Liaoxi, suddenly stood up. After the ups and downs of the previous month, he is only now relieved. I thought he was going to slap the emperor's ass as usual, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he shocked everyone.

Jin Yuguang: "Prime Minister, as the head of the foreign dynasty, you are in charge of all the policies of the Ming Dynasty, may I ask your department to do things against its word, to live up to the favor of the emperor, to harm the well-being of the people, what face do you have after your death to face the ancestors and ancestors?" ”

Prime Minister Li Guozhong was about to speak, and Jin Yuguang continued: "The eunuchs used to contribute to the Ming Dynasty, and you crossed the river and demolished the bridge, which is injustice; It is unkind for you to order the massacre; If you kill someone, how can you make your family filial, this is unfilial; You do these things to make the foundation of the Ming Dynasty unstable and make the emperor annoyed, this is disloyalty. How can you, a person who is unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous, rank above the temple? ”

Li Guozhong's face immediately turned the color of pig liver.

Yang Mingyang stood next to the prime minister and said: "At that time, the law stipulated that eunuchs must be castrated, and eunuchs are beneficial, so we must obey them; Now that the law says that eunuchs are forbidden, and that eunuchs are harmful, then we must obey them as well. The so-called law is not to look at right and wrong, but only to read the text, which is the so-called 'goddess of justice does not open her eyes'. ”

Jin Yuguang laughed and said, "You said 'the goddess of justice doesn't open her eyes'? I also said, 'Lady Justice bare-assed!'" ”

Yang Mingyang continued: "The so-called goddess of justice ......"

Jin Yuguang interrupted him and said, "Bare ass! Bare ass! ”

Yang Mingyang: "The law is extremely sacred......

Kim Woo-gwang: "Holy ass!" Holy ass! Lady Justice bareass! ”

Everyone in the palace hall laughed.

Jin Yuguang: "You obey the laws you made yourself, why should you let people obey them?" If you want to castrate, you will castrate yourself; You don't want to be a eunuch, you pick yourself up. You have to take care of other people's own affairs! ”

Yang Mingyang: "In the past, it was the first survival department, when you were in the Ming Dynasty, there were many people, so you had to set up the first survival department to control the population, and now there are few people in the Ming Dynasty, so you must set up a survival department to ......"

Jin Yuguang: "You said that if there are fewer people, there are fewer people?" I also said there were too many people! Look outside, there are hundreds of thousands of people blocked at the intersection of Chang'an! Therefore, I suggest that the survival department be abolished and the first survival department should be rebuilt, because there are too many Ming people! ”

Yang Mingyang still had to speak, but whenever Yang Mingyang opened his mouth, Jin Yuguang said in advance: "Did you say it?" Isn't it? Hurry up and say? Isn't it? Wow wah wah bala bala ......"

Yang Mingyang was so angry that he jumped to his feet.
