According to the length and distance of the eunuch's business trip, it is divided into six types: resident, out of tolerance, procurement, street inspection, walking, and entrainment. The emperor and the celebrant appointed a certain eunuch to serve as a supervisor or a town eunuch, in which case the eunuch would be stationed in a certain place in the field for a long time, which was called "permanent"; To make a decree on behalf of the emperor, or to comfort someone, is called "out of tolerance"; Those who obey the orders of the emperor or the master of the palace to go outside to buy things, or the master of ceremonies appoints someone to go to other places to hand over the tribute, which is called "procurement"; Those who are ordered to inquire about the news on or near the streets of the capital are called "checking the street"; Help some little masters or masters go outside to buy personal belongings, under the pretext of going outside to breathe the air, in this case it is called "walking"; The eunuch entrusts it privately, and the palace maid begs the eunuch to buy some private things, or transfer things to people outside, these things are originally illegal, so they can't be done openly, which is called "entrainment". The permanent and outgoing tolerances are above board, and are not only recorded in the celebrant but also in the court and cabinet outside. Their safety is guaranteed, and they are treated the same as officials of the same rank, and some are even better than ordinary officials. Procurement belongs to the completion of the affairs assigned by the inner palace, even if it is to help the emperor to do things, it is considered the emperor's private affairs, so there is no need to report to the cabinet, and it is enough for the celebrant to have a file. The vast majority of eunuchs go out on errands in the name of procurement, which is convenient and does not need to be reported to the cabinet. Checking the street and walking the bend can't leave the capital too far, so the eunuch is not considered to go out, and no one dares to offend the eunuch in the capital. The entrained people don't even dare to make it public, they only dare to trade privately, and of course, outsiders don't know about it.

Even the eunuchs who are resident abroad are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and there are great differences according to their status and power. There are ten towns in Daming and there are ten general soldiers, and these people have nearly seventy percent of the strength of Daming in their hands. Of course, the emperor didn't dare to trust these generals too much, so almost every general soldier had a eunuch by his side. These eunuchs guarded these high-ranking generals on behalf of the emperor, and even overrode these general soldiers. In addition to the three towns in the capital, there are seven towns in the country, and the seven general soldiers are stationed in various places, and the eunuch who supervises the army is the emperor there. In addition to these eunuchs, there are also eunuchs in several important cities such as Nanjing, Fengyang, and so on. Several of their eunuchs belong to the first-class eunuchs stationed abroad, and their grades are about the third grade, which is equivalent to the local governor. Not only did they supervise the local government on behalf of the emperor, but they also had the right to temporarily suspend local officials. Because the emperor believed in them too much, almost all of them agreed to the recital, so the local officials did not dare to offend the eunuchs. Below these eunuchs are other sub-eunuchs, some of the generals' prison guards, some of the city's town guard eunuchs, etc., they belong to the second-level garrison eunuchs, and the level is between the fifth rank and the fourth rank. Further down, there are only the subordinates of the resident eunuchs, and the inner palace will not send people to be stationed in the yamen at the county level.

The status of these resident eunuchs is similar to that of outside officials, the second-level garrison eunuchs are equivalent to the governors of the state capital, and the first-level eunuchs stationed abroad are provincial and ministerial-level high-ranking officials, and the celebrant directly manages these resident eunuchs. The cabinet is the highest body for the management of foreign officials, and the celebrant is the highest organization for the management of these eunuchs. Potential governors or political envoys may enter the six ministries as scholars or even cabinets as zaifu, and the same potential first-level eunuchs stationed abroad may also enter the ceremonial eunuchs as eunuchs and even eunuchs with the seal of the celebrant eunuchs. Almost all the eunuchs of the Celebrant have the experience of serving as garrison eunuchs outside, just as the cabinet members have held important positions in the six ministries and various provinces.

However, there are exceptions, and Meng Chong, the current eunuch of the Celebrant Seal Seal, is an exception. Meng Chong only stayed in the Inner Chamberlain Bureau for a while, and then came directly to the Qianqing Palace on an errand. He served as the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, the chief of cleaning of the Qianqing Palace, the deputy chief of the Qianqing Palace, the deputy chief of the Yuxi Palace, the chief of the Yuxi Palace, the chief of the Qianqing Palace, the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, and so on, and finally served as the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the eunuch of the seal. It was because he had never been a garrison eunuch outside, so some people looked down on Meng Chong and felt that Meng Chong's ascension to the throne was not in accordance with the rules. Feng Bao is one of the most arrogant of them, often sarcastically mocking Meng Chong as an incompetent celebrant and eunuch.

In order to eliminate the influence, in order to make people stop laughing at himself, Meng Chong once arranged for people to go out to garrison, hoping that his subordinates could control some of the people outside and alleviate Meng Chong's embarrassing situation. But because Meng Chong has no experience abroad, his cronies can't do anything outside. Either they were tricked by local officials, or they were forced too hard, causing the other party to be excited. Meng Chong had no choice but to let Feng Bao and the others laugh at him, and he didn't dare to easily send his cronies out to serve as garrison eunuchs.

A few years ago, an opportunity was placed in front of Meng Chong, and Meng Chong finally found an opportunity to turn over. A relative of Meng Chong's hometown wrote that a soldier named Meng He took the initiative to inquire about Meng Chong's hometown. Meng Chong sent someone to warn Meng He, telling this Meng He not to have anything to do. Unexpectedly, this Meng He came to recognize his relatives, saying that Meng Chong should be his cousin who did not come out of Wufu, Meng He not only asked someone to send a gift but also wrote a letter of recognition to Meng Chong. Meng Chong didn't pay much attention to it at first, anyway, this kind of thing often happened after Meng Chong made his career. Soon after, Meng He sent a report requesting merit, saying that he fought against the enemy, and he was already a military attache of the sixth rank of the imperial court. As soon as Meng Chong remembered that what he lacked was this kind of relative, he began to associate with Meng He. Meng Chong found that this nephew was not only obedient, but also understood Meng Chong's intentions, so Meng Chong began to reuse Meng He. Meng Chong used his identity as a eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi to arrange for Meng He to enter the Jinyi Guard, and Meng He suddenly became the sixth military attache of the Jinyi Guard. Don't underestimate the same positive six products, the officials of Jinyiwei are much more advanced than ordinary officers. In addition, with Meng Chong's uncle, Meng He can be said to have a promising future, even if he can't be the commander of Jinyiwei, he can also be a Jinyiwei Qianhu, and he will be beautiful for a lifetime.

It was such a coincidence that Meng He injured his lower body during an errand and became a quasi-eunuch. Meng Chong originally wanted to arrange for Meng He to enter the palace as a eunuch to help him do things, but he didn't expect that Chen Hong, the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies at that time, had to do things according to the rules, and Meng He couldn't enter the palace, and even if he entered the palace, he could only be a permanent miscellaneous eunuch. Meng He had no choice but to stay in Jinyiwei if he failed to enter the palace, but the people of Jinyiwei would go to Menghe to be a eunuch Jinyiwei, so they often laughed at Meng He about this matter.

Meng He looked for Meng Chong many times, hoping to transfer out of the Jinyiwei headquarters, even if he went to the border pass, it was better than staying in Jinyiwei to be laughed at. At this time, Emperor Jiajing was about to drive King Jing out of the capital, and Meng Chong, the eunuch who followed Emperor Jiajing all day long, of course knew Emperor Jiajing's intentions. So Meng Chong deliberately arranged for Meng He to supervise King Jing's departure from Beijing, of course King Jing couldn't be angry, and vented his temper on Meng He in public. Almost everyone in the capital knew about it, and Meng He was transferred to Tongzhou as a brocade guard. After Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, he felt uneasy about King Jing's younger brother, and wanted to send an army to protect King Jing in name, but in fact to supervise and control King Jing. Meng Chong reported Meng He, and when Emperor Longqing learned of Meng He's incident, he immediately made a decision to let Meng He be the commander of the thousand households of this army. Meng He not only knows how to fight, but also has a bad relationship with King Jing, which is the main reason why Emperor Longqing wants to use Meng He.

After Meng He became the commander of the army, it was logical to send a eunuch to monitor Meng He. Meng Chong was very relieved of Meng He, so he specially assigned a cronie to serve as a supervisor, but in fact, he was just a subordinate of Meng He to help Meng He contact Meng Chong. Meng Chong received information from Meng He almost every month, and Meng He always said that King Jing was very quiet and did not have any misdeeds. Last month, He Gui, the little eunuch of Ma Kui, the prison army next to Meng He, returned to Beijing, and he came back to replace the eunuch next to Meng Chong as Meng Chong's personal eunuch. In order to understand the recent situation of Meng He and Ma Kui, Meng Chong asked He Gui a few words by the way, but he didn't expect to ask some things that he didn't know. He Gui said that Ma Kui was often absent from the barracks, and almost all the affairs of the barracks were managed by Meng He alone. Ma Kui not only has an endless amount of money, but also often entrusts some valuable things back to his hometown. These things did not attract Meng Chong's attention, and He Gui's words attracted Meng Chong's attention. He Gui told Meng Chong that a few days ago, King Jing invited them to attend on his birthday, and Meng He and Ma Kui both went, and the banquet was very lively. Meng Chong was immediately shocked, neither Meng He nor Ma Kui had mentioned this matter, let alone anyone attending the banquet. He Gui told Meng Chong that King Jing held this kind of banquet almost every year, his birthday was held, his wife's birthday was also held, and Meng He and Ma Kui attended almost every time.

Only then did Meng Chong realize that he might have fallen for Meng He and Ma Kui, and was deceived by their words. King Jing has not taken action over the years, but someone deliberately concealed it and did not report it. It seems that Meng He and Ma Kui have been bought by King Jing, so it's no wonder that they can't ask for a result. But Meng Chong didn't dare to report it, let alone let Empress Dowager Li, Feng Bao, Zhang Juzheng and others know about it. Because Meng He is Meng Chong's nephew, Meng He was recommended by Meng Chong, and Ma Kui is Meng Chong's cronies, no one will believe that Meng Chong is innocent. If Meng He was determined to be a traitor, he would be connected to the Nine Clans, and of course Meng Chong was among them, so Meng Chong did not dare to report Meng He.
