Chapter 677: The Old Lady Speaks
Since Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, the power of the Nanjing garrison was held by three people, one of whom was the commander of the Nanjing garrison, the second was the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, and the third was the secretary of the Nanjing military department.
The garrison lord yamen is called the outer garrison, the garrison eunuch yamen is the inner garrison, and the Nanjing military department is the last in the capacity of a civilian official, as the counselor, and the three are jointly responsible for the security of the southern capital.
Among the three, the eunuch garrison in Nanjing has the highest real power, because the eunuch is a pro-minister, and the relationship between the emperor and the courtier is not comparable.
Liu Chaoyong, the current Nanjing garrison eunuch, was transferred from the eunuch of the Si Li Suitang in the 27th year of Wanli, while his predecessor Cui An was not born as a master of ceremonies, but was transferred from the imperial horse eunuch.
The successive Nanjing garrison eunuchs came from a variety of backgrounds, and a considerable number of them were not from the priest's ceremony, but from other prison bureaus.
For example, Liu Yun, the internal garrison eunuch during the Zhengde period of Wuzong, came from the imperial prison, and Yu Jun came from the internal official prison. It was not until the Jiajing period that there was an unwritten rule, and the Nanjing garrison was mostly selected from the priest, that is, it was not from the priest, but also from the imperial horse. As a result, the rest of the Supervisory Board can no longer be involved in the affairs of the Metropolitan Government.
To put it bluntly, it is actually a power struggle in Beijing's inner court. Although the southern capital is the capital of Liu, and the six government departments are all fictitious, but after all, it is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, affecting several provinces in the southeast, and is the fundamental place of the Ming Dynasty.
Twenty-four yamen, at the moment, only the imperial horse eunuch can compete with the celebrant eunuch, after all, the emaciated camel is still bigger than the horse.
Liu Chaoyong was able to garrison Nanjing, which was the reason why several of the celebrant supervisors worked together to expel Cui An, who was born in the imperial horse prison, and he also served as the internal garrison in Nanjing for 11 years.
He was very knowledgeable, and in the early years he was the leader of the inner study hall, and he came out with the first excellent results, and the first time he was a writing eunuch in the celebrant supervisor. It is also because of its high knowledge, so Ren Shangxi interacts with scholars, and the inner garrison yamen in Nanjing City is not a dirty place in the eyes of scholars, but a romantic place.
This romance is not the other's romance, but it is really a scholarly and elegant place.
The name of Liu Gonggong's good literature is well known in Jiangnan.
However, recently, Liu Gonggong did not talk to the literati anymore, but took refuge in the summer outside the city.
Nandu is a famous furnace city, and the city is even hotter in July without a soul, and Liu Chaoyong is old again, so he did not live in the garrison eunuch yamen (inner garrison hall) in the city half a month ago, and these days he has lived in the shrine supervisor yamen of Xiaolingwei. There are mountains and rivers here, and the forests are deep and dense, but it is a good place to escape the heat.
In addition to the 24 yamen in Beijing, the only one in the inner court is a functional yamen, which has only one responsibility, that is, to take care of the mausoleum of Taizu, and there is a member of the eunuch with the palm seal in the prison.
Different from the Beijing Divine Palace Eunuch, the Nandu Divine Palace Eunuch is nominally equivalent to the Sili Eunuch, and the grade is also the highest grade of the internal eunuch, so it is generally managed by the Nanjing garrison eunuch. If the garrison eunuchs cannot be in charge of both, then there must be a conflict between the two eunuchs.
For example, during the Xuande period, the Nanjing garrison eunuch was at odds with Miao Qing, the supervisor of the Xiaoling Shrine, and the garrison eunuch during the Chenghua period was even more in a secret battle with the eunuch Wei Qingming of the Divine Palace.
The key to the battle is not that the two eunuchs are of the same grade, and everyone wants to overpower whom, but that the eunuchs of the Xiaoling Shrine have the right to raise troops. This soldier is the guard of the filial piety guard.
In addition, according to the rules of the palace, if the inner prisoner is convicted, he is often sent to Nanjing, and the military vegetables are purified in Xiaoling, etc., and the eunuchs of the palace are responsible for taking care of them.
Whoever grows vegetables will go to Nanjing, and the eunuchs of the Divine Palace (garrison Dajue) will sit in the grandeur and drink the clouds to 'take the ministry', and then the pure army will have a dung bucket on his shoulder and the ladle will go forward, even if the pure army grows vegetables in the past, the same is true for the chief eunuch of ceremonies. For example, Feng Bao, the powerful man of this dynasty, was sent to Nanjing, and he was guarded like an ordinary internal prison.
There was a battle in the court, and there was a battle in the palace.
In the court, if you lose power today, you may be able to recover tomorrow. Today is high, tomorrow maybe you will roll up and leave. The court relies on the same year, the teacher, the colleagues, the township party, and the inner court also depends on these.
It's just that, compared with the court, the power struggle in the inner court is much darker and more dangerous. Throughout the founding of this dynasty, it is difficult for those who send filial piety to the tomb to have a chance to recover. However, those who were sent to Fengyang to see the incense have a chance to return to the palace, such as Da Jue Huaien during the Chenghua period.
Therefore, being a shrine eunuch of filial piety has some benefits, at least, there is revenge and revenge. If all the great masters of the inner court want to solve the problem and do not give people a resurrection, they must rely on the eunuchs of the shrine of filial piety.
And the eunuch who lost power didn't want to die of illness for no reason, so he was bound to use all his net worth to buy his life, and there were many hidden lines involved.
If you make good use of it, you will benefit greatly in the future.
With these two advantages, it is impossible for the Nanjing garrison eunuch to accommodate two tigers in one mountain, and there is still a palace eunuch under his nose who sits in a row with him, what nails are placed on him, and what hidden dangers are buried.
Since the Jiajing Dynasty, the Nanjing garrison must be the eunuch of the Xiaoling Shrine, which is an unwritten rule in the palace.
To say that there are a lot of garrisons in Xiaolingwei, the initial quota of this dynasty is 5,600 people, and there is an experience department, among which there are 500 elite soldiers.
The requirements for this elite soldier are to be able to ride a horse and whip, gallop at high speed, and ride over a trench, over a wall, and shoot arrows with a bow on a horse, and only those who shoot two out of three arrows are qualified.
If there are 500 of these elite soldiers in a guard, it must be extremely strong. It is a pity that with the corruption of the system of the imperial guard, the elite soldiers of Xiaoling existed in name only.
For example, now the guards of Duke Liu's Mansion are the nominal elite soldiers of Xiaoling, but these people have long become flowery, and they are no different from the janitors of ordinary large families.
Father-in-law Liu is so elegant, no matter where he goes, he will take a cart of books, and lie in the shade of a tree to read books idlely, which is the biggest hobby of his old man's life.
On this day, when I was studying, the handkerchief in the prison came to report, saying that Chen Gonggong had come from the city. This Chen Gong's name is Chen Fu, and he is the right supervisor of the Inner Garrison Hall, and he is the title of the fifth grade. Above him, there are two young eunuchs from the fourth rank, who are two levels higher than the ordinary yamen in Beijing, and are comparable to the celebrant eunuchs.
"What is he here for?"
Liu Chao raised the book in his hand and motioned to the little eunuch to lure people over.
Chen Fu couldn't ride a horse, so he came in a sedan chair from the inner garrison yamen of the Baichuan Bridge transfer shop. As soon as he saw Gonggong Liu, he shouted happily: "Old lady, your place is so cool." ”
"Well, it's not cool, I'm going to do what I'm doing here."
Liu Chaoyong smiled softly, he is from Yangzhou, Yangzhou people call the elderly "old lady", plus Liu Chaoyong is a eunuch, and there is no practical meaning of the descendants, so he cares about the feeling of home. As a result, the old man in prison was called "old lady", and when outsiders saw him, Liu Gonggong was called "Liu Gong".
The title "old lady" is very approachable, highlighting Liu Chaoyong's character.
His predecessor Cui An was a very large official, and Cui An directly collected the tax cards of all the city gates in Nanjing, and this garrison eunuch who was born as a royal horse eunuch was particularly fond of martial arts, and he was a soldier with the garrison lord Fengcheng Marquis Li Huan when he had nothing to do.
When the Western missionary Matteo Ricci was introduced to Cui An, Cui An had no scruples about calling the great monk "Chitose". Later, he even called him "Chitose" from the top and bottom of the prison yamen.
After Liu Chaoyong took over the garrison in Nanjing, he said that Cui An was a disaster for himself, and he was afraid that Liu Jin's fate would be forgotten by him.
The celebrant and the celebrant all joined forces to get Cui An away, I am afraid that it is because of the word "Chitose".
Our Ming Dynasty, called "Chitose" Da Jue, will it end well?
Or the "old lady" is the most practical and safest.
"What's in your hand? On a hot day, you're not at home, come here to make shnizi. Liu Chaoyong saw that Chen Fu seemed to be holding a letter in his hand.
"Old lady, you know, if it's okay, which of me will disturb your old man's leisure, it's really that our subordinates can't do it, and the old lady must speak."
Li Fu is not from Yangzhou, but in order to please the garrison father-in-law, he learned to speak Yangzhou dialect. Don't say it, this method is really effective, since he was able to speak Yangzhou dialect, he asked Gonggong Liu to be promoted to prison within two months, and now he seems to be a celebrity around Gonggong Liu.
"Suzhou Cao Zhongcheng sent it, please take a look at it anyway." Li Fu stepped forward with a smile and handed the letter in his hand to Liu Chaoyong.
"Cao Shi didn't mean to hire that person, he didn't pay much attention to me when he was in Jurong, and he ignored me as an old man when he went to Suzhou, and now he is sending a letter to see me, he is a shny, wow?" Liu Chao tore open the wax seal on the letter as he spoke, took out the letter paper from it and looked at it.
"I'm afraid it's not Wuxi's business, and I want to ask the old lady for help?" Li Fu was a little careful on the side, and the matter of the civil unrest in Wuxi was very clear about the yamen they were guarding inside.
"Uh-huh."
Liu Chaoyong finished reading the letter, nodded, threw the letter aside, and said, "If he wants me to help, I'll help?" If he tells me to kill someone, I'll kill him? .....This governor is really not interesting at all, he wants fame and doesn't want to take risks, he pushes me and points me to handle things for him, funny, funny. ”
Chen Fu chuckled and asked, "Old lady, what did Cao Zhongcheng say in his letter?" ”
"What can you say?" Liu Chaoyong smiled, "I want this old thing to be the first bird for him." ”
Chen Fu said in a low voice: "Old lady, that Wei Liangchen is indeed an internal official supervisor, I heard that it is the person who is protected by the Duke of Jin Zhong, and the people and horses brought over are the people of the Imperial Horse Supervisor Teng Xiang Siwei." ”
"Yes."
Liu Chao nodded slightly.
Chen Fu hesitated and asked, "What is the old lady going to do?" ”
"Do? What are you doing? What does this have to do with us, what I do is the garrison in Nanjing, and it is not him who should be a minister, and he will run errands for him Cao Shi. ”
Liu Chaoyong rubbed his temples, thought about it, and instructed Li Fudao: "This jar, you go to Suzhou, meet that Wei Liangchen, just say that I said, Gu Xiancheng's death has nothing to do with him, Donglin Academy will be burned, but the people in the academy still have to be released, and they can't be blind, otherwise, even Gonggong Jin will not be able to speak for him." ”
