After listening to Qin Tai's words, everyone was really completely relieved. Although the current emperor, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, is unwilling to admit the two ancestors, nor does he want others to use his ancestors to oppress him, he absolutely does not dare not recognize these ancestors, especially the previous ones. The latter two are his uncle and the other is his eldest brother, he can sit idly by, but the first few are his own ancestors. Even if Zhu Houxi wanted to be an immortal emperor again, he didn't dare to want his ancestors in public. If this is the case, he will not even be able to keep his current throne, let alone be able to live forever. If he loses the throne as a result, his son will also lose his right to inheritance. When the time came, as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to secretly execute him and his descendants. The crime is to ignore the ancestors and be disobedient and unfilial. As long as Zhu Houxi is not a fool, he does not dare to joke with his life and the future of his descendants.

The eleven soldiers, each dressed in a simple dragon robe, with a tablet on his chest and a portrait in his hand, walked out of the main hall in an orderly manner. The so-called "simple dragon robe" was what Qin Tai thought of temporarily. The soldiers took off their coats and armor, and wore only the middle coat, which was not only not majestic, but also a bit disrespectful to the emperor. So he called Zhan Xiaoxiao and asked Zhan Xiaoxiao to make a few clothes. Zhan Xiaoxiao is not a middle-aged person, and there is no suitable material, so he has to use local materials. Zhan Xiaoxiao tore off some of the yellow curtains used for decoration in the main hall and divided them into large pieces. Then dig a hole in the middle, and it's basically a success. Each soldier has one piece, and the big hole in the middle is a pullover, and the yellow cloth is worn over the soldier's body. Qin Tai also asked the soldiers to tie a yellow strip of cloth around their waists to fix their coats, and this "simple dragon robe" was completed. Don't say that although it is simple, as soon as you put it on the soldier, the soldier's spirit will immediately appear.

Qin Tai followed behind the eleven soldiers, except for the main hall, he said to the other soldiers: "Listen, everyone, now these eleven brothers represent the previous emperors. To protect them is to protect the emperors of the past dynasties and protect the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty. Until the mission is over, your greatest responsibility is to follow and protect these brothers. No one can command you, and no one dares to stop you. What do you do if someone tries or prepares to deal with these eleven brothers? ”

Without the captain's order, almost all the soldiers of the Forbidden Army shouted together: "Kill, kill, kill." Dare to rush into the emperor and kill. Dare to stop the first emperor from killing. Those who dare to ignore the emperor are killed. ”

Qin Tai was very satisfied and relieved with everyone's reaction. At least these soldiers still have a sense of justice, a conscience, and a bloody nature. This means that the army of the Ming Dynasty, the forbidden army around the emperor still has backbone, and it is not useless. As long as these backbones and bloodiness are still there, Daming will not be defeated, and Daming will have hope.

For the first time, Qin Tai really hated these eunuchs. Although the first emperors of the Ming Dynasty have always had some problems, which one did not have it? Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and not a perfect person. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were more erudite than the emperors of the Han Dynasty. Compared with the emperors of the Tang Dynasty who only knew romance, they were more pragmatic and witty than the emperors of the Song Dynasty. Compared with the brutal emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, there is more mercy. But why did the Ming Dynasty have more contradictions than any other dynasty?

Although there are many objective factors, the common people are becoming more and more difficult to manage; The wealthy also learned to "rip off" with the imperial court; The partisan struggle between ministers intensified; civilian and military officials attacked each other; The country's financial gap is getting bigger and bigger, and so on. But the most critical problem is still these eunuchs.

The eunuch is also called a eunuch, or an inner servant, and his original role is to take care of the daily life of the emperor or king, which is just a subordinate. But gradually, the taste changed, and so did the meaning. The chamberlain became a close confidant who did private affairs for the king or the emperor. Buying jewelry, choosing beautiful women, spying on the privacy of officials, and even private dealings with important people from other countries on behalf of the king or emperor himself, etc. As the chamberlain grasped more and more secrets, and as the power of the interior grew older and greater, the chamberlain became the spokesman of the king or emperor. Whether it is the minister or the common people, out of fear and awe of the royal power or the imperial power, it gradually evolves into the use of power by the inner servants to do things that are fake and powerful.

Because the chamberlain is not a normal man, he can't have children and can't be humane, so his personality is different from that of normal people. Greedy for money, cautious, easy to hold grudges, playful, flattering, etc. As long as they are well controlled, these problems are not big, at most they are personal problems, and they do not affect the overall situation. But once the chamberlain tries to control the whole situation and influence the king or the emperor, the problem is big. These people will use their power to prevent the minister from telling the truth, telling the truth. It can also make the king or emperor a deaf, blind, fool, or even a puppet. They can also take advantage of the trust of the king or emperor to reverse right and wrong, and influence the king or emperor's analysis of a certain person or a certain thing. Storytellers often say, "A hundred loyal ministers is not too many, and one traitor is not too little." "And among the many traitors in the past dynasties, forty percent of the traitors are colluding with the inner servants and deceiving the people with evil words to the lord. The other sixty percent are directly the inner servants and eunuchs themselves. It can be seen what kind of role eunuchs play in the hearts of ordinary people.

As early as when Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, he had a powerful chamberlain by his side, and he was Zhao Gao, who later directly led to the fall of the Qin Dynasty. At that time, he had won the trust of Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng and almost controlled Yingzheng's daily life. It was this Zhao Gao, together with Prime Minister Li Si, who not only concealed the news that Ying Zheng had died, let Ying Zheng's corpse stink, but also violated Ying Zheng's will and changed the name of the heir to the throne without authorization. The virtuous and elderly eldest prince Fusu not only failed to become Qin II, but was also secretly dealt with soon after. It is said that the person who gave the order was Zhao Gao, and it was this person who pretended to be absolutely loyal to Yingzheng. Hu Hai, who was mediocre and useless, became Qin II for a very simple reason, because he didn't understand anything and listened to Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao is Hu Hai's only reliance, and he is the only person Hu Hai believes in. In order to show his power and let everyone know his status in the court, Zhao Gao staged a good show, which is the famous "pointing to the deer as a horse". He deliberately said that a deer was a horse, and asked Hu Hai to say the same. Although Hu Hai felt that it was a deer, out of dependence and trust in Zhao Gao, he still admitted that it was a horse according to Zhao Gao's intentions. Zhao Gao said so, Qin II Hu Hai also admitted so, and the ministers had to say in unison, "This is a horse." In fact, he indirectly gave in to Zhao Gao and recognized Zhao Gao's status as a leader. This was the time when the eunuchs were in full control of the court for the first time. As a result, in less than a few years, the people were dissatisfied, and the common people raised the banner of righteousness, in order to survive, they must overthrow this court. In other words, the reason why the Qin Dynasty perished was not because Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was too powerful, nor was it because Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was blessed, but because Zhao Gao ignored the overall situation, only knew that he was accumulating wealth and constantly increasing taxes, which made the government and the opposition angry and resentful. To put it bluntly, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed because of the dictatorship of an internal servant.

Not only the Qin Dynasty, but even the Han Dynasty was like this. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "Ten Standing Servants" controlled the court situation, almost the same as Zhao Gao at the end of the Qin Dynasty, which made people angry. The difference is that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, it was the peasant uprising of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others, and at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was the Yellow Turban Army of Zhang Jiao and others, and the uprising at the end of the Han Dynasty had more religious overtones. The situation was the same after that, and the peasant rebel army, which was scattered internally and without a unified commander, was soon replaced by local forces. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Chu and Han dynasties fought for hegemony, with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, on one side, and Liu Bang, the future founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, on the other. In the end, Liu Bang co-opted Han Xin, Yingbu, Peng Yue and other forces, and finally achieved a comprehensive victory. forced Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, to kill himself, ending years of disputes. The situation at the end of the Han Dynasty was more complicated, first the heroes competed, and then the Three Kingdoms, although in the end the Sima family ended the war, but the vitality of the Central Plains has been greatly inferior to before.

After that, there were a lot of autocratic eunuchs, such as Gao Lishi in the Tang Xuanzong period, Guo Huai in the Song Shenzong period, Tong Guan in the Song Huizong period, and so on. Although these eunuchs did not end the chaos of a dynasty, they also made the court situation at that time chaotic. The common people lived a painful life for a period of time, especially when Huizong of the Song Dynasty was in power, which not only forced the people to resent, but also caused a large group of heroes to gather in Liangshan, which led to the strong power of the Jin State in the north, and finally caused the two emperors of Huiqin to become the captives of the Jin State, and the Northern Song Dynasty became history.

Qin Tai didn't know the dangers of the eunuch's dictatorship, nor did he know the arrogance of the eunuchs, but he always felt that no matter how excessive the eunuchs were, they also had some bottom lines. It was only at this time that Qin Tai realized that he was wrong. In Ouchi, these eunuchs not only dared to be rude to officials and their families, but also commanded the forbidden army at will. In doing so, not only do they not respect officials as human beings, but they also treat the soldiers who defend their homes and countries as if they were their own dogs. They have really become unscrupulous to the point where they really treat the power given to them by the royal family as their own personal property. It is no wonder that even some ministers who have heavy troops and are loyal to the court dare not speak out against the eunuchs.

Qin Tai didn't want to be in the limelight, let alone attract everyone's attention, and he didn't want to become someone else's tool. But Qin Tai is definitely not afraid of things, and he will definitely not bow to the evil forces. For himself, for the protection of his family, for the dignity of the Ming officials, for the dignity of all officials, and for the future of the Ming Dynasty. He decided to touch these eunuchs, even if it was worth touching their heads and breaking the blood. Not only did he want to kill the arrogance of the eunuchs, but he also wanted the current emperor to be sober. This is what a minister, a speaker, and a loyal minister should do.
