Chapter Sixty-Eight: Rewarded!
Kang Longji is here.
Zhou An turned around and looked at the arch of the garden, and saw Kang Longji, who was dressed in a dragon robe, surrounded by a large group of eunuchs, walking into the garden with the holy decree in his hand.
Zhou An's spirit was shocked!
"...... Kang" Princess Yunjing was about to greet her, but before Grandpa Kang finished these three words, she also noticed that Kang Longji was holding the holy decree and hurriedly stopped.
"Zhou An takes the order!" Kang Longji looked solemn and said crisply.
"The minion takes the order!" Zhou An took two steps forward, and with a dozen sleeves, he knelt in front of Kang Longji, he didn't need to be called a slave to Kang Longji, he usually called himself small, but Kang Longji came with a holy decree this time, he represented the empress!
Kang Longji stood still, unfolded the decree and began to read it very formally.
He has not read the holy decree so formally in the inner court for a long time, he has great power on the one hand, he can even directly appoint and dismiss the second governor, and on the other hand, the empress is in the palace, and she uses oral edicts a lot, and if it is not a major matter, she will not move the holy decree.
Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: "Zhou An, the eunuch of the direct palace supervisor, has the skill of escorting before, defeating the evil deeds of the demon sect, and then risking his life to break the chaos of the inner court." Er heart of the community, good conduct, loyalty, sincerity and high integrity. Although you are young, you have a single eye, you are a good talent, I am very comforted, and now you are canonized as the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingpen, and the eunuch of the third grade is sealed, and the brocade is a thousand horses, a thousand taels of gold, and a thousand taels of gold, and the Ning'an Garden of the Qianli Palace. Chin this. ”
The decree was read.
"Slave Xie Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live!" Zhou An kowtowed, and his heart was already happy!
Eunuch Bingbi!
Eunuch of the Celebrant and Eunuch!!
The celebrant is the highest-level department of the twenty-four yamen of the inner court, and the eunuch with the palm print is Kang Longji, who is the first product, and the second person after Kang Longji is not a young eunuch, but a eunuch with a pen!
In fact, in the current Dongqian University, the eunuch of the celebrant is the real power chief who ranks very low.
But in the history of the Dongqian Dynasty, more than 100 years ago, the eunuch Bingbi was the second chief, and even in a special period, the power of the eunuch Bingbi surpassed the eunuch of the palm print, called the chief manager!
In the inner court, the original function of the celebrant was to be responsible for court etiquette, wedding and funeral sacrifices, and he was also responsible for the court banquet.
At the beginning of the founding of the Eastern Qian, the celebrant was this function, which belonged to a very general department.
However, later, with the passage of time, the celebrant gradually became the emperor's secretarial body, which could help or even replace the emperor in handling government affairs, and approve the recitals, so that the celebrant became the highest-level and most powerful department of the 24 yamen of the inner court.
The eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant can replace the emperor's seal, that is, the jade seal.
The eunuch of the celebrant can replace the emperor to "approve red".
The so-called approval of red, refers to the cabinet minister in the emperor to hand the fold, will be pasted on the fold of the paper with a suggestion, this is called "proposed vote", the emperor will look at the minister's suggestion, and use red letters to make instructions, this is the batch of red!
The eunuch who writes the pen can replace the emperor to approve red! The eunuch can directly see the minister's report and his suggestions, and directly give instructions!
This right is already terrifying!
It can be said that this is directly replacing the emperor in handling state affairs!
If the eunuch Bingbi can be more trusted by the emperor, what the emperor says to him, and the suggestions he makes are more convinced, then the eunuch Bingbi is the chief manager, and the eunuch who holds the seal can only retreat, although the eunuch who is responsible for the seal is the eunuch who is responsible for the seal in the end, but it is just a formality, he dare not fall!
However, in the past hundred years, especially in recent decades, many reasons have prompted the eunuchs to lose power.
The biggest reason is Kanglongji!
Kang Longji has won the trust of the emperors of previous dynasties, and now it is the four dynasties, he is the eunuch of the direct palace and the seal of the seal, and he is not responsible for approving the red, but in fact, he let how to approve, how the eunuch has to approve, what he says, it is what it is, and no one in the inner court dares to disobey Kang Longji!
In the history of Dongqian, there have also been cases of the master of ceremonies and the palm seal of the master of ceremonies and the struggle for power with the pen, but this incident has not happened in recent decades, and no one dares to blow up the hair under Kang Longji, that is looking for death!
Therefore, Kang Longji is the biggest reason for the loss of power of the eunuch Bingbi.
Of course, there are other important reasons, another important reason is that the right to "approve red" is given by the emperor, if the emperor is diligent, the eunuch Bingbi does not even have the opportunity to approve red, and the emperor of the cabinet has personally read and personally instructed.
More than 100 years ago, Dongqian was a peaceful and prosperous era, and the Dongqian Emperor at that time could rule by doing nothing! There is no need to be diligent, so the eunuch at that time had great power, and the emperor didn't care about anything, so he handled all the folds handed over by the cabinet instead of the emperor.
And now.
In recent decades, Dongqian has begun to flourish and decline, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, the rivers and lakes have been chaotic, the court has also been chaotic, and corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant.
Beginning with Emperor Sejong, the father of Emperor Shinjo, the power of the celebrant began to shrink.
And in the period of the Empress of the Shendu, this woman who is enough to shine for a thousand years, although she has done a lot of ridiculous things, but on the whole, she is a very capable and skillful emperor, after all, she is a fierce existence that can create a precedent for women to be emperors, compared to those Dongqian emperors more than a hundred years ago, she can be regarded as diligent.
Besides, the current Empress Shenzhao has only been on the throne for half a year, and in addition to Dongqian's current internal and external troubles, the Jiangshan Society is in danger, and it is impossible for her not to be diligent.
It is precisely for these reasons that the eunuch Bingbi has lost power!
Although the current court celebrant is also very powerful, the power is in the hands of Kang Longji, although the empress personally approves the red, but Kang Longji's words are extremely heavy in her heart, enough to influence the empress's thoughts.
The rest of the inner court, even if it was the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, was not as good as Kang Longji's finger in the empress's heart.
In fact, it's all the same, even if it's the palm print of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, in the heart of the empress, it is not as good as a finger of Kang Longji, the difference is that the palm print of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is really holding real power!
But then again, the eunuch Bingbi just lost power, but he didn't fall out of favor!
On the contrary, the favor obtained by the eunuch Bingbi can be said to be second only to Kang Longji! This point cannot change, if you want to become a eunuch of Bingbi, you must have the absolute trust and value of Kang Longji and the empress!
Especially from the fact that Zhou An was transferred to the eunuch Ren Bingbi, the celebrant supervisor, it can be seen that the grace is the ultimate!
Because Zhou An is only sixteen years old!
He is the youngest eunuch in the history of the Dongqian Dynasty!
He is only sixteen years old, and after this transfer, he will become the empress and Kang Longji's hardcore confidant! A cronie among cronies! It is also the most important training object!
Compared to the position of the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor, Zhou An simply loves the position of the eunuch of Bingbi! has rights, grace, and has directly become the empress's side, and has enough time and energy to do things for the empress!
It was just perfect!
He has already thought of his brilliant future!
From this, I also thought of some famous eunuchs during the feudal dynasty in his previous life, such as Feng Bao, Wei Zhongxian, and Liu Jin, all of whom served as eunuchs and eunuchs of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi.
It's all a generation of power supervisors!
Although Wei Zhongxian and Liu Jin are not good people, Feng Bao is a generation of virtuous eunuchs, and is even known as a reformer, and his cooperation with Zhang Juzheng has been praised from generation to generation.
Zhou An didn't know if he would become Feng Bao or Liu Jin in the future.
He didn't think much of it.
He only looks at the immediate situation now, with two goals, one is to grow up, and the other is to become a generation of power supervisors!
And today, he has taken a big step towards the goal of a generation of power supervisors.
