It's like dominoes, as long as you start gently, everything that follows will be arranged according to fate, and at some point incarnate into an existence called retribution, and come to you.

Zhu Yuanzhang set up the 24 yamen, also known as the 24 eunuchs, to govern all the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace. Each has its own division, but there is always a difference between high and low.

Before the appearance of the celebrant eunuch, to be exact, before the celebrant seized the power of the red cloth, the imperial horse eunuch was a well-deserved leading boss.

Even if he is now pressed by the celebrant and supervisor, he is still a strong yamen, after all, he is holding a knife.

Although nominally, the Imperial Horse Supervisor did "the matter of taking charge of the imperial horses and all the tributes and collecting horses and mules from the pastor", but in fact, he commanded the strongest army in Nanjing, directly under the emperor's command of the Tengxiang Four Guards.

How can a slave who feeds a horse become a master of a horse?

This may sound like an outrageous question, but it's not.

In this era, the strongest class on land was the cavalry. There are people riding horses everywhere, but there are few people who raise horses, especially those who can raise horses well and raise war horses.

Horse owners will inevitably ride horses, but not the other way around. The two functions were combined, and it seemed that having the horse keeper act as the owner was the only option.

As a result, the Imperial Horse Eunuch became a very special existence: one of the twenty-four eunuchs, who was also in charge, was also a eunuch, but he was led by a group of soldiers who ate people and licked blood.

Clear-eyed people can think of the above truth, but few people know that there is actually another reason for the existence of this imperial horse supervisor.

The reason is that there is a person, an old man named Zhao Luqin, the eunuch with the palm print of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, who directly manages the entire Imperial Horse Eunuch Yamen, and is also the actual manager of the forbidden army of Tengxiang Siwei.

said that he was old because he was fifty and seven, and in this era he was already a man with a neck in the earth. But he is still the palm print of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Zhu Yuanzhang has never removed him, and Zhu Yunwen has never had this idea.

The reason on the surface is very simple, because he can excel.

The old is old, especially the ancient Lian is quite Hansheng, and the humerus of me is also.

There are only a handful of people who can be praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, and if you add the special identity requirement of a eunuch, then Zhao Luqin can be regarded as the only one.

I have to admit that Zhao Lu is worthy of Zhu Yuanzhang's praise, tearing tigers and leopards alive, having a strategic chest, rising to the top of the day, and opening the four-stone bow effortlessly. Is this ability to wait?

Most importantly, he is loyal enough. When he walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, Zhu Yuanzhang was not the son of heaven in the Ming Dynasty, but only had the name of King Wu.

Zhao Luqin was not a eunuch at that time, but Zhu Yuanzhang's pro-military captain, which is equivalent to the highest-level bodyguard in today's words. If necessary, he also went into battle with Zhu Yuanzhang to kill the enemy.

Later, because of an evil incident, in order to save Zhu Yuanzhang's life, he became a waste. But Zhu Yuanzhang remembered his goodness and recognized his loyalty, so he also had the imperial horse supervisor who led the troops.

"As long as you still use the sword, my Imperial Horse Supervisor will be yours. ”

can be a crippled person for himself, and he is a eunuch, Zhu Yuanzhang is relieved of him, and there is no reason to be worried.

It can be said that in the Hongwu Dynasty, there are only two eunuchs who can speak in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor who hates eunuchs, one is the dead Lao Zhang, and the other is this Zhao Luqin.

Zhu Yuanzhang trusted them, but unfortunately, he didn't know about the existence of Tianmen. Otherwise, he would know that the eunuchs in the palace, the more powerful the person, the more they should be killed.

Lao Zhang is a person from Tianmen, and Zhao Luqin is no exception.

Deer milk is a relative, an allusion in the twenty-four filial pieties, and it is also the origin of Zhao Luqin's name, and it is also the trace left by Ren Xiao.

He was originally a heavenly eunuch, and whether he cut it or not was just a formality, and walking to Zhu Yuanzhang's side was Ren Xiao's last arrangement, in order to kill Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, he laid out a hand of idle chess, a secret son.

Han Lin'er died surprisingly smoothly, and the shadow child continued to be dark if he didn't use it. Everything that followed, although there were some small accidents, but... That's right, it's all a play, a play for Zhu Yuanzhang, a very successful play.

Life is like a play, and drama is like life. What is true and what is false. The authorities are fascinated, but there are always songs that end up and people scatter.

Picking up the yellow silk on the table, he turned it upside down on his hand, and smiled silently, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of his nose became more and more mean.

This yellow silk is still just a roll of yellow silk, stamped with the emperor's jade seal, but there is no word of will. In other words, this is a blank volume of holy decrees, and whatever is written is what it is, which was given to him by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's hard to imagine that the wise and martial Zhu Yuanzhang would give him something like a eunuch, but that's the truth.

How does this stuff work?

Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning was clear in Zhao Lu's heart.

The Imperial Horse Prison Army is not under the control of the Ministry of War, and the only requirement for dispatch is the emperor's personal decree, otherwise it will be punished as a great rebellion.

But the emperor may encounter a situation where he cannot help himself, and this blank will come in handy.

Tonight, a fire broke out in the palace and lasted for a long time. There was even a faint shout of killing. It seems that it was the time to use this yellow silk, which was his duty as the palm seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Can...

There is also a roll of yellow silk on the table, which is the real holy decree, with a seal and an order: "Geng Bingwen conspires against him, he should be punished!"

There is no doubt that this decree is false.

Chaos is one of them, and more importantly, this is given to him by Huang Fan Pillow.

"The emperor is dead, there is no proof of death, and no one can debunk you. ”

Huang Fan Pillow said so, and he couldn't find a loophole that could refute it. But Zhao Luqin still hesitated.

This is the order of the yellow fan pillow, and it is not the order of the master of the Heavenly Gate. With his identity as the master of Xunzi Hall, what can he do if he ignores it?

Ignore it ... And what should he do?

Enter the palace and be the king?

The emperor was ready to do something to the eunuchs, and it seemed good to be dead.

Still? It seems... I'm sorry for the blank volume of decrees in my hand.

Eunuchs are vicious, but they are also human beings, human beings, and naturally affectionate. No matter what, from beginning to end, Zhu Yuanzhang was right about him.

Strike, strike, strike

Zhao Lu sighed three times in a row, unfolded the yellow silk in his hand on the case, lifted the pen, soaked it with ink, waved up and down, and the pen walked away from the dragon and snake.

"Someone!"

Outside the door, the little school heard the sound and entered, and bowed down with his robe: "What does my father-in-law command?"

"Gather the drums, order the troops on the school field, the will of the saint has arrived!"

。。。。。。

"The will of the Holy One has arrived!" Two quarters of an hour, that is, half an hour, the school field was crowded, the war horses neighed, Zhao Lu personally put on his helmet and armor, and the robe was strapped, and the voice was like Hong Zhong Dalu: "Zhang Xiwu, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace, led the Imperial Forest Army to make a rebellion, intending to rebel and kill the king."

I am the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor, and in accordance with the will of the saint, I led Er and others to enter the palace and protect the king, and immediately entered the palace.

The Holy Providence is here, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"
