Chapter 5 It's a pity that he's a eunuch!
Chu Yi, Yu Huatian, and Liu Jin raised their heads, and Chu Yi saw the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor who easily took the assassin's life in a single move.
Speaking of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, the first thing that many people think of is the East Factory, but the East Factory is generally supervised by the celebrant and the eunuch, so the general eunuch is the official of the East Factory.
But this does not mean that there are no eunuchs in the inner court who can compete with them, and the chief celebrant is in charge of the power of approving the red seal, which can be described as the internal minister.
However, on the other hand, it is the Imperial Horse Supervisor, who shares the military power with the Ministry of War and the Governor, which is actually the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Master of Ceremonies are one and the other, almost neck and neck.
It once existed briefly in the Ming Dynasty, and even overwhelmed the East Factory for a time, and the famous West Factory was run by the Imperial Horse Supervisor, which was on par with the East Factory of the Celebrant Inspector.
If Wang Yue, who is in charge of the ceremonial eunuch, is the first eunuch in the palace, then Fan Heng, the governor of the imperial horse eunuch, is only weaker than Wang Yue.
Fan Heng is actually about fifty years old, but because of proper maintenance or cultivation of exercises, the whole person looks like he is in his forties, and at this time, a pair of feminine eyes are looking at the three of them.
Under Fan Heng's gaze, even Chu Yi, who was a man of two lifetimes, couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart, this person who could sit in the position of the head of the Imperial Horse Prison was obviously not an ordinary person, and he didn't dare to say that he was stepping on countless corpses, and he was afraid that there were definitely not a few people who died directly and indirectly under his hands.
In this era, there are no human rights to talk about, and one action may be inexplicably lost if you don't say the right word.
"Yes, let's ask you, the three of you are willing to worship under this father's door!"
Liu Jin, Yu Huatian, and Chu Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they heard this, and Wei An on the side couldn't help but glance at the three of them with a kind of envy when he heard this, and hurriedly said to the three of them: "What are you three still doing in a daze, the chief manager brings you up, and you don't come forward to thank you!" ”
Liu Jin reacted the fastest, and bowed down in front of Fan Hengzuo with a grunt and said: "Liu Jin met the chief manager, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and he will not give up." ”
Chu Yi and Yuhuatian also reacted, and hurriedly bowed down like Liu Jin.
Fan Heng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, you will be in my Imperial Horse Prison in the future!" ”
To say that the best places for new little eunuchs in this palace are the celebrant eunuch and the imperial horse eunuch, but these two places are not accessible to anyone who wants to, that is, Liu Jin and the three of them have entered the eyes of Fan Hengfa, otherwise, if they are unlucky, they may not want to enter the imperial horse eunuch for the rest of their lives.
Being able to enter the Imperial Horse Prison is definitely a great creation for the three of them.
As far as Chu Yi is concerned, he doesn't care about being honest about power or anything, what really makes him interested is the method of cultivation.
Although it was a glimpse before, whether it was the little eunuch or Fan Heng's kung fu, it was unforgettable for Chu Yi.
After entering the Imperial Horse Prison, he had his own arrangement as a great eunuch, and I thought that they would be arranged to do chores in the Imperial Horse Prison, but what I didn't expect was that they were arranged to read and write.
Previously, he cultivated his body with a group of little eunuchs, and when he was waiting for the assignment, the big eunuch Wei An was responsible for teaching them to read and write, but he didn't expect to enter the imperial horse prison, and the first thing he did was to read and read.
This has to be said to be a feature of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch has the right to palm the seal, and the chief celebrant is known as the internal minister, what is the internal minister? Naturally, he is a powerful person who assists the Son of Heaven in governing together with the cabinet ministers of the outer court, and if he doesn't even know the words, he won't be able to understand the twists and turns, and how to assist the Son of Heaven in governance.
Therefore, all the little eunuchs who enter the palace will arrange to read and write, and the little eunuchs like Chu Yi and Liu Jin, who have been specially selected, will go one step further, and will even be invited to teach in person by the bachelors of Wenyuan Pavilion.
I thought that after entering the Imperial Horse Prison, I would hope to come into contact with the method of martial arts cultivation, but I didn't expect to be thrown to read and write, but Chu Yi was very attentive.
He has been a human being for two lifetimes, and he knows very well in his heart that all external things can be taken away from him, but knowledge will not, besides, if he doesn't read and write, even if he throws a book of cultivation methods in front of him in the future, I'm afraid he can only stare dryly.
It can be seen that Fan Heng attaches great importance to these little eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Prison, and he has invited two Wenyuan Pavilion scholars to teach, and Chu Yi is amazed by the wide range of involvement.
Astronomy, geography, magic, and even medicine, it is no wonder that many of the great eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were able to hold great power, even if it was to assist the emperor in governing the world, there was no problem in guarding one side.
If you really don't know a big word, you can't write a word when you lift a pen, and I'm afraid it will not become a major faction that was important in the Ming Dynasty.
Chu Yi found that he had learned patiently, in the end, he was a human being in two lives, and after he really set his temperament, learning these things was really nothing to Chu Yi.
In just half a year, Chu Yi stood out among more than a dozen little eunuchs, even the two bachelors who taught them felt sorry for Chu Yi, and bluntly said that Chu Yi was a rare seed of reading, if he hadn't entered the palace and became a eunuch, he would definitely have entered the rank of scholar in the future.
In a small room, Chu Yi put down the brush in his hand and smiled bitterly at Liu Jin and Yu Huatian: "You don't have any talent in the way of mathematics, it's good to be able to reach such a level." ”
Hearing Chu Yi say this, Liu Jin smiled sharply: "It depends on who you are compared with, at least you help the two of us, you are already much better than others." ”
If there are more people, there will be factions, which has always been the case, needless to say, Chu Yi, Liu Jin, and Yuhuatian are a small collective.
Liu Jin can be regarded as the eldest of the three by relying on his understanding of the palace and the uncle behind him, while Chu Yi is low-key and clumsy, ranking second by virtue of his knowledge, as for Yuhuatian, needless to say, among the three, he is the younger brother.
A rush of footsteps came, and then a voice sounded from outside the door: "Chu Yi is here, the chief manager summons you." ”
With a squeak, the door opened, and Chu Yi only saw a little eunuch standing at the door who was always by Fan Heng's side, and hurriedly saluted: "Chu Yi has seen his father-in-law!" ”
The little eunuch glanced at Chu Yi and said, "The chief manager summons me." ”
Half a year after entering the Imperial Horse Prison Academy, Chu Yi never saw Fan Heng again, and he didn't expect Fan Heng's summons to be so sudden.
I was a little dazed in my heart, followed closely by the little eunuch, and quietly stuffed a piece of loose silver into the little eunuch's hand and whispered: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, is there anything wrong with the chief manager's summons?" ”
The little eunuch skillfully put away the silver, glanced at Chu Yi and said, "Wait a minute, remember to be smart, Chief Manager Wang Yue came to Xiaoxu, and brought a smart and clever little eunuch with him, boasting like a flower, our father-in-law will let me recruit you to ......"
Although the little eunuch didn't reveal much information, these alone were enough, at least let Chu Yi understand why Fan Heng summoned him.
Needless to say, Fan Heng must have seen Wang Yue show off in front of him, so he specially recruited himself to compare with the little eunuch.
There was a faint excitement in my heart, if I wanted to gain a foothold in this palace and take power, I had to climb up, when was one person below and above ten thousand, so that I could barely worry about my own life.
