The eunuch in the respectful room was quite polite to Zhang Jing, and after saying "I'm sorry", he dragged Zhang Jing out and slapped Zhang Jing for thirty boards in the courtyard of the imperial eunuch, in front of many imperial eunuchs. "Playing the board" was ordered by Emperor Jiajing, and Lord Jiajing was the master of all eunuchs, and the eunuchs did not dare to disobey orders. Thirty boards are Jiajingye's regulations, and one board cannot be missing. But how to beat and what to do is the matter of the eunuchs who beat people in the worship room. When he came, he went to the celebrant first, and saw Lu Fang who was handling official business in the duty room of the celebrant. Lu Fang, the "old ancestor", is not in vain, and his prestige in ** is no worse than that of Jiajingye. Lu Fang didn't say anything, but just glanced at the eunuch in the respectful room who beat people. This eunuch is also Lu Fang's person, but he is not Lu Fang's godson, he should be regarded as a godgrandson, a generation younger than Zhang Jing. The eunuch immediately moved his own meaning as a godfather, and Lu Fang wanted to protect Zhang Jing.

As a eunuch who has entered the palace since he was a child, Zhang Jing has suffered a lot of boards of all sizes. Some were "rewarded" by the masters, some were "given" by the great eunuchs in the palace, and some were bullied by the eunuchs in charge of the new "teaching". Of course, I know the meaning of the eunuch's "I'm sorry" in the Jingshifang, and I know that I won't have a big problem. But Zhang Jing also needs to cooperate himself, otherwise the eunuchs in the Jingshi room will not be able to handle errands. According to the rules of **, eunuchs, as slaves, cannot cry for their fathers and mothers, let alone keep their mouths shut and endure not speaking. Calling for pain is breaking the rules in the palace, and keeping silent is against the master, and you must shout "thank the master for reward" while being beaten. The more painful the beating, the louder the screaming must be.

Zhang Jing was pressed onto a bench, grabbed by a eunuch in each hand, and tied his feet to both sides of the bench. The clothes were lifted up, and the pants were ripped under the knees, revealing a white, tender ******. The eunuch of the respectful room glanced at everyone, and everyone was not allowed to laugh. According to the rules, he said, "Silence." No noise. After that, the beating operation began.

The sound of "pop, pop, pop" was terrible, and Zhang Jing's crying voice was even more intense. Words such as "good fight", "thank the master for his reward", "the slave should fight", "it was the slave who made the master angry" and so on, sentence by sentence popped out of Zhang Jing's mouth. In fact, Zhang Jing's nervousness and pain were faked, and the eunuch's board hit his buttocks, and the numbness didn't hurt at all.

After twenty-five beats of the board that didn't hurt or itch, the eunuch in the Jingshifang bowed his head and said to Zhang Jing: "Uncle, I'm sorry. The next few hits are going to really hit. You have to endure it. You can't shout until you have recovered from it. You can't shout it out right away, or you'll have internal injuries. After saying that, Zhang Jing really hasn't tasted this taste for a long time. The first twenty-five strokes can be said to have passed lightly, although the board dancing of the eunuch whirred, but it did not have any practical effect at all. But this twenty-sixth board, the strength of the hit looks no different, in fact, it is more powerful than the previous twenty-five boards combined. Zhang Jing's whole person was shocked, he tried hard not to shout out, tried hard to endure it again, and finally survived. Then after shouting loudly, "Thank you for the master's reward", the eunuch's board came down again. Zhang Jing knew that this was already a big "back door" for the eunuch who beat people, if it was someone else, it didn't matter if you had eased up or not, you could just continue to beat people to death without ten strokes.

Even if Zhang Jing can be beaten again, the eunuch who beats people can be considered careful, and after the thirty boards, Zhang Jing is already tired and painful lying on the bench and can't get up. It's not pretending to be like this, the flesh and blood on the buttocks are already confused, the sweat on the body has flowed to the ground, and the blood on the buttocks has turned into a red water stain. There is a person in charge of the criminal department of the East Factory next to the eunuch of Jingshifang, who is responsible for supervising the beating of people in Jingshifang. After looking at Zhang Jing's injury, he shouted loudly: "The board is to the meat, thirty boards are a lot." After the cane is completed, the worship room is finished. "Then the people in the worship room can pack up and leave. Otherwise, the people in the Jingshifang are considered to have not completed the task, and they are the ones who will be beaten, and the people in charge of the punishment will be replaced by the people in the East Factory, and they will not remember the number of boards, and they will directly beat the eunuchs in the Jingshifang to death. But under normal circumstances, the two groups of people cooperate tacitly, and no one will come out to stir up the situation.

Zhang Jing was picked up by his men and gently carried back to Zhang Jing's residence. The eunuchs didn't have long eyes, and they could see that Jingshifang was deliberately releasing water, otherwise Zhang Jing would have been beaten into a coma or crippled, and it seemed that the people in Jingshifang still didn't dare to offend Zhang Jing. Some clever little eunuchs immediately rushed to take care of Zhang Jing, hoping that Zhang Jing could accept them as his godson, and he would be able to soar in the future. But who could have thought of the bitterness in Zhang Jing's heart? Jia Jingye suddenly became angry with himself, which should not be a good sign. It seems that Zhang Jing's desire to enter the ceremonial supervisor is yellow, and whether he can stay in the imperial prison as a young eunuch may also be a question.

As expected, Zhang Jing did not wait for his godfather Lu Fang to come to visit him, but waited for a senior brother Huang Jin. Huang Jin is the eunuch of the celebrant and one of Lu Fang's godsons, and can be regarded as Zhang Jing's "elder brother". Huang Jin is quite loyal, and he is very popular among the eunuchs of Bingbi, and he is in charge of the affairs of Jinyi and Wei. At the same time, he also served as the entourage of Jiajing Ye and the chief eunuch, and Lu Fang and several other people took turns to take care of Jiajing Ye. It seems that Huang Jin came directly from Jiajing Ye and came to pass on Jiajingye's will. Zhang Jing chuckled in his heart, and his intuition told him that things were not good.

Huang Jin said to Zhang Jing with a cold face: "There is a will, and Zhang Jing will go to Nanjing to be a governor." Change your frizzy temper. Otherwise, you will never have to go back to the palace. ”

Before Huang Jin could speak, Zhang Jing had already rolled out of bed and knelt on the ground to listen. When he heard that he was going to Nanjing to be a commander, his whole face was bitter. Although the admiral eunuch belongs to the eunuch with real power, his status is only a little greater than that of the eunuch of the prison army, and he is not as good as his original deputy envoy of the town guard. It seems that not only has he entered the ceremonial eunuch, but it is impossible to even stay in the imperial eunuch and continue to be a young eunuch.

Huang Jin sighed, picked up Zhang Jing on the ground, helped Zhang Jing to the bed, sat down and said, "Xiao Zhang, it's not my brother who said you." Since you came back, the spectacle has been really too big. Don't talk about our brothers, even our godfather and ancestors don't have your majesty. Although Long Live Lord doesn't often care about the following things, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know about it. If it weren't for my brother helping you this time, you might have died. ”

Zhang Jing hurriedly thanked Huang Jin, and at the same time took out a stack of silver tickets from the drawer on the side, and the amount was no more than 10,000 taels and was stuffed to Huang Jin. Huang Jincai accepted it and said to Zhang Jing. It turned out that Huang Jin happened to be on duty today, and Huang Jin was by Emperor Jiajing's side. Emperor Jiajing was a lone emperor in history, he not only believed in Taoism, but also flourished in the palace. Outsiders thought that the eunuchs in the palace were very majestic, and the eunuchs were more trusted by the emperor than foreign officials. In fact, the eunuchs in the palace knew that the people most trusted by Emperor Jiajing were not their minions, but a group of Taoist priests who had lived in the palace for a long time. For Emperor Jiajing, foreign ministers are cattle and horses, eunuchs are lackeys, and only the Taoist priests around him are his Taoist friends. Therefore, Emperor Jiajing didn't like women, nor did he like to be with eunuchs all day long, and he didn't like to deal with any state affairs. It is said that Emperor Jiajing is dedicated to cultivating the Tao, but in fact, he does not care about nothing. Emperor Jiajing firmly grasped the management of important positions in the imperial court while cultivating. Emperor Jiajing wanted to be a long-lived emperor and always control the lifeblood of the entire country.

Emperor Jiajing usually stayed in his Yuxi Palace, and he would not come out and walk around for ten days and half a month. On this day, Emperor Jiajing suddenly listened to the words of a Taoist priest and was ready to come out and move his muscles. Zhang Jing didn't know that Emperor Jiajing was coming out, and the layout outside the palace was still placed according to the original arrangement. Emperor Jiajing never walked straight in and out, but walked Taoist footwork. What "sixty-four directions footwork", "Heluo footwork" and so on, the layout outside the Yuxi Palace should not block the road of this Jiajing Emperor. Unexpectedly, Emperor Jiajing listened to the words of a little Taoist priest and walked out of a new footwork, although it was more beautiful and walked more chic, but the problem arose, there was something blocking the way of this emperor. Small things can be moved, but some large ornaments and eunuchs can't move. And this Emperor Jiajing, who was fascinated by cultivation, was a person who did not know how to be flexible, and continued to bump forward. Only everyone has always accommodated Emperor Jiajing, and no Emperor Jiajing has ever let anyone. It's okay now, Emperor Jiajing not only hit his head with a bag, but even his toes were tripped out of his nails. Usually people hit a bag on their head and their toenails trip and bleed, which is not a big deal. But it was a big deal when it happened to Emperor Jiajing, and all the eunuchs present were almost half scared to death, and Huang Jin was even more frightened. While asking someone to carry Emperor Jiajing back to the palace, he asked someone to reprimand the eunuch in charge of the imperial prison. It turned out that the reprimanded eunuch was sent by Huang Jin, and his purpose was to let Emperor Jiajing dissipate his anger. Emperor Jiajing had a strange temper, "no two punishments for one crime", that is, no matter what fault the other party has, after the punishment is over, the person will not be held accountable for the same matter. Huang Jin reprimanded Zhang Jing on behalf of Emperor Jiajing one step earlier, in fact, he was saving Zhang Jing. Unexpectedly, Emperor Jiajing was really popular this time, and he asked someone to "play the board", not to mention, but also to dismiss Zhang Jing's position. Huang Jin pleaded on the side, and Emperor Jiajing also knew that Zhang Jing could not be blamed for this responsibility, so he agreed to punish Zhang Jing. I invited a Taoist priest to "ask God", and finally decided to go to Nanjing. According to Emperor Jiajing's meaning, if this Zhang Jing dares to call himself "bleeding", he should be the most ordinary miscellaneous eunuch. However, Huang Jin knew the relationship between Zhang Jing and his godfather Lu Fang, so he persuaded Emperor Jiajing to calm his anger, and asked for a favor to send him to Nanjing to be a little admiral eunuch. For Emperor Jiajing, the admiral eunuch was no longer an official, and he was no better than the average little eunuch, so he agreed.

Zhang Jing is very grateful to Huang Jin, Zhang Jing gives the money to the senior brothers is not the same, although the money given to this senior brother Huang Jin is also a lot, but it is the least one among the eunuchs of Bingbi, the reason is that Huang Jin is honest, and he is the same godfather as Zhang Jing. Compared with Huang Jin, several other eunuchs received a lot of Zhang Jing's silver, but none of them spoke to Zhang Jing, and some people were ready to fall into the well at any time and frame Zhang Jing and never turn over.

Zhang Jing was limited to leave the capital, and had to be carried away by a few eunuchs. Before leaving, Zhang Jing went to see his godfather Lu Fang, Lu Fang encouraged Zhang Jing a few words, everyone knew that Zhang Jing was not wrong, but Emperor Jiajing was their master, who would not dare to disobey Emperor Jiajing's will. Zhang Jing left Lu Fang's room and went to Meng Chong's room again, asking to see his new boss, Meng Chong. Although Meng Chong is the last of the four eunuchs who are in charge of the ceremony, his real power should not be underestimated. Meng Chong is not only a "strong eunuch" who guards the palace, but also a eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, who holds the "military talisman" of the world's soldiers and horses. Zhang Jing was demoted to the rank of Governor and Eunuch of Nanjing, subordinate to the Imperial Horse Supervision, and was a direct subordinate of Meng Chong. The admiral eunuch is nothing in the palace, but he is a great man when he leaves the capital. The admiral eunuch is not only a eunuch who leaves the palace on behalf of the emperor, but also a eunuch with military power. This kind of eunuch is not like the prison army, the soldiers in his hands are in the barracks, not his own. The admiral eunuch had the right to recruit his own men and train a personal army of less than 1,000 men. This army not only obeys the words of this admiral eunuch, but also the personal thug of this admiral eunuch, and they will do whatever the admiral eunuch wants them to do.

Meng Chong is also a smart person, although he doesn't like this little brother very much, but his godfather Lu Fang's face must be given. So he pretended to be concerned, encouraged Zhang Jing not to say anything, and sent people to take good care of Zhang Jing along the way. After worshipping the gods from all walks of life, Zhang immediately left the capital. Because the wound was not healed, he could not sit in a sedan chair or ride a horse, so Zhang Jing was carried into the carriage and went south on the carriage. At this time, Zhang Jing didn't know that a big net that had been laid was waiting for him, and his life was coming to an end.

Qin Tai didn't know Zhang Jing's current situation, otherwise he would definitely persuade Zhang Jing to be careful all the way. Zhang Jing's events in the past few days were clearly deliberately arranged by someone, the purpose was to lure Zhang Jing out of the capital and go south to Jiangnan to send him to his death. Otherwise, how could Emperor Jiajing walk out of the palace for no reason? Will you inexplicably take a new footwork? Why did the Taoist priest choose Nanjing? And instigated Emperor Jiajing to immediately ask Zhang Jing to leave the palace?
