There are several sources of eunuchs in the country, including: lifting prisons, tribute prisons, shadow prisons, donation prisons, and favor prisons. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Lifting prisons, as the name suggests, is to enter the national prison as a lifter. The tribute eunuch came in according to the system. For example, Jia Huan's teacher and the second dean of Wendao Academy, Ye Hongyun, was born as a tribute eunuch.

Yin Jian is the son of a relative and an official who entered the prison to study because of his father's grace. For example, Jia Rong and a group of noble children are studying in the Guozi Prison under their names. Enjian is a specially selected person to enter the prison, recommended by the high-ranking officials of the dynasty.

Donating to the prison is to spend money to buy the national prison.

At the time of the founding of the country, there was a lack of civil officials who governed the country and the locality, and the prisoners who could graduate from the Guozijian were like Jinshi meritorious names. But since then, with the increasing number of scholars in the imperial examination, the inmates who have dropped out of school can only be equated with the promotion of people.

You can take the entrance examination and have the qualifications to be an official at the same time. Of course, you can only be a petty official, a miscellaneous official, and a second-level official.

When Ye Hongyun was studying, one or two decades ago, the tribute supervisors were all selecting the best students from county schools and government schools to enter the Guozijian. Therefore, pay tribute, and kill all the following positions in seconds. However, with the passage of time, the channels for selecting and entering the Guozijian in the county schools and government schools were controlled, and the students who came in were all hopeless students in the imperial examination, and the quality declined. By the time Jia Huan was studying, the prisoners had become scumbags who were despised by the elites.

It is also necessary to take into account the decline in the quality of prisoners due to the proliferation of donated prisons.

Of course, the treatment of Guozi Jian is still there. You can take the exam and become an official. It's just that the number of inmates who can graduate is getting smaller and smaller. The characteristics of Guozijian are wide entry and strict exit. As for how the sons and daughters of the nobles can get out of school and obtain the qualifications to be officials, they all show their magical powers. Graduation exams, not presided over by the school officials?

In short, the current inmates are a group of people who have a certain social status (inmates count their academic qualifications) and have difficulty finding employment (they have the qualifications to be officials, but there are few pit positions, and the future is bleak).

There are two Guozijian in the national dynasty, the Guozijian located in the capital is referred to as the North Prison, and the Guozijian located in the south - the capital is referred to as the South Prison.

Jia Huan has a reputation for raising people, and he entered Nanjing Guozijian to study, which is in line with the procedure. He's a prisoner. More importantly, the admission procedures of Guozijian are handled at the Ministry of Rites. Zhang Anbo is currently the left waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. So, you get the idea.

Jia Huan already has the qualifications for the examination and the qualifications to be an official. Zhang Anbo's purpose in letting Jia Huan enter Guozijian was not to drop off his studies, but to facilitate his teaching. At this time, Zhang Anbo lectured in the Guozijian as a famous Confucian. If you want to attend a class, you have to be qualified.

In the early years of the Dynasty, the atmosphere of the Guozijian was serious, and he had to sit in prison to study. But now you can even just put on a name when you are in prison, and you don't have to be in school.

Jia Huan is clear about these things. He doesn't want to be imprisoned in the country for two years. got up and said, "Chief Xie." It's just that I only arrived in Jinling yesterday, and I need to walk around on behalf of Jiafu to get my relatives and friends old. In addition, you may have to go to Yangzhou in more than ten days. Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial Shi Lin Cha Yuan was terminally ill. ”

Jia Huan stopped in Yangzhou for a few days to visit Lin Ruhai. The relationship with Lin Ruhai, Zhang Anbo, Zhang Chengjian, Pang Ze, Ji Ming, and Master Tian all know it.

Zhang Anbo smiled and nodded, and said, "It doesn't hurt to have a few days that night." I'll help you get your student status first. ”

Jia Huan came to Jinling to study, and when he talked about going to school, he felt relaxed for a while. Next, it's time to study in Jinling.

Everyone laughed for a while, and Jia Huan helped Ji Ming speak: "Ji Dexin also wants to study under the mountain chief gate. We met by chance in Yangzhou, and he came to Jinling on purpose. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Anbo looked at Ji Ming curiously, a young man of twenty-five or sixteen, slightly restrained, simple, and asked kindly: "Is Dexin willing to follow me?" ”

This is a Confucian style. There is no class to teach. As long as he is willing to learn, he is willing to teach.

Ji Ming didn't expect things to go so smoothly. When he first talked to Jia Huan, he was still a little uneasy. After all, after he became a student, he left Wendao Academy, and he was not counted as a core disciple of Wendao Academy.

Ji Ming hurriedly got up and saluted, his tone slightly excited, "The student is willing!" ”

He and Jia Huan's purpose deviated slightly. Reading and studying is one aspect. In fact, when reading books to the level of lifting people, they already have the ability to learn the scriptures and meanings on their own and integrate them thoroughly. Another aspect is to interact with Jia Huan and Shanchang.

Unexpectedly, the mountain chief was willing to take him with him to teach. It was a bonus.

Zhang Anbo twisted his beard and smiled: "Zi said, never get tired of learning, never tire of teaching." This is the case for my generation of scholars. ”

Ji Ming and Jia Huan are treated differently. This is to teach students according to their aptitude. He took Ji Ming with him to teach, and he taught by word and deed. And putting Jia Huan in the Guozijian is to ask Jia Huan to study wholeheartedly. There is no need to participate in the entertainment and affairs around him.

In terms of dealing with people, Jia Huan has experienced enough.

…

The next morning, Jia Huan and Ji Ming made an appointment to visit the master and Fang Wang, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and after chatting for a while, they said goodbye and left.

It's not that Grandmaster Fang is snubbing Jia Huan, but because Grandmaster Fang, as a grandmaster in the literary world, is busy meeting guests, and it is already a rare courtesy to be able to take the time to chat with Jia Huan for a while.

After visiting Sect Master Fang, Ji Ming discussed with Jia Huan about his residence, "Since Brother Jia wants to buy another business, it is not good for me to live in your mansion for a long time, I intend to rent a courtyard in the Great Gong Fang. It is convenient to follow and learn by the side of the mountain chief. ”

He came to Jinling this time and brought a few long-term attendants and maids.

Jia Huan thought about it for a while, smiled and nodded, "It's okay." "He doesn't live in the Jia Mansion in Runde Fang for a long time, and Ji Ming lives in the Jia Mansion, which is also a little inconvenient.

Ji Ming soon rented a three-entry courtyard in Dagongfang, and moved in with his maid and long-term entourage. Began his study career with the mountain chief.

And Jia Huan had to continue his old process of visiting relatives and friends in Jiafu. In the afternoon of the same day, Jia Huan took Zhang San, Qian Huai, and Hu Xiaosi to visit the home of Li Shouzhong, the former Guozi priest.

Li Shouzhong was dismissed and returned home in the third year of Yongzhi because of his writing. Although they are relatives of the Jia family, one is in the capital and the other is in Jinling, so they are not close to the Jia family. Of course, this is related to the reason why his son-in-law Jia Zhu has been dead for many years.

The Li family is located in Dinglinfang in the southern city of Jinling. The whitewashed streets and alleys are full of the atmosphere of daily life. Precipitates a sense of historical heaviness after the passage of time. There are not a few imperial examination families like the Li family that have risen and declined in history.

After Jia Huan saw Li Shouzhong, who was in his fifties, he handed over the letter that his sister-in-law Li Su had entrusted him to, sat for a while, and then left.

Li Shouzhong also did not stay, and asked the housekeeper to send Jia Huan away. Then, I went to the study to cut my daughter's letter, and after reading it, I couldn't help frowning.

“… The Huan brothers are gifted and have an unlimited future. Although he will marry Aunt Xue's daughter, his father can choose his niece to marry. ”

Li Kun's widowed sister-in-law has two daughters. is named Li Wen and Li Qi, and they are about the same age as Jia Huan. In Li Kun's opinion, if the Li family wants to recover, they can choose to marry a daughter to Jia Huan as a concubine and seize this potential stock.

In the forty-ninth chapter of the original book of Red Mansions, Li Kun's widowed sister-in-law took her two daughters to Beijing and defected to Li Kun, which shows the decline and embarrassment of the Li family in the next three or four years.

Of course, Li Kun only suggested this in the letter. There are many difficulties in this approach. Although the Li family declined, in the end there was a famous eunuch in Jinling, and the concubine married Jia Huan as a concubine, and her reputation was very bad.

It was up to her father to decide.

"Ridiculous!" Li Shouzhong, the former priest of the country, snorted coldly, threw the letter in his hand on the desk, and ignored it.

…

Jia Huan didn't know what Li Kun mentioned in the letter, so he left Li's house, glanced back, and shook his head gently in the Li Mansion bathed in the autumn afternoon sunshine.

The Li family, the former famous eunuch of Jinling, has declined at this time! There was a snub in front of the door.

He didn't care much about Li Shouzhong's snubbing of him in his heart. It's just a slight sigh. It's not very close.

Immediately, Jia Huan seized the time to visit Shi, Wang, and Xue's three families. The matter of visiting the Li family was like a small wave, drowning in Jia Huan's itinerary, without any waves.

On the morning of August 23, Jia Huan went to visit Zhen's house with gifts.

The Zhen family is located in Dapingfang, and the mansion covers a vast area. There was a hustle and bustle of cars and horses in front of the door. A scene of prosperity.

Jia Huan came to the door in the name of relatives and world friends, so naturally there was no need to wait. A steward stepped forward and brought Jia Huan and his party of four into the mansion.

As far as the eye can see, the eaves and cornices of the corridor are all gorgeous, and the gardens and courtyards are scattered. It is comparable to the Jia Mansion in the capital, and even surpasses.

Qian Huai and Hu Xiaosi took gifts and followed the steward of the Zhen family. A housekeeper took Jia Huan to a side hall and waited.

The old servant Zhang San introduced the situation beside Jia Huan, "Master Zhen, the president of the official residence of the Tiren Academy." In Jinling is a figure second to none. Mrs. Zhen once served as the nurse of the emperor in the palace. The eldest lady of the Zhen family is the current crown princess. The second lady is the princess of King Liang, the ninth prince..."

Jia Huan listened and groaned in his heart.

There is no doubt that most of the Hongxue views believe that the Zhen family is Cao Xueqin's Cao family. And Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin is Kangxi's maternal brother. Sent to Jiangnan Weaving Fat Poor, and at the same time served as a royal secret agent. When Kangxi went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he took over several times. This is a bit similar to the situation of the Zhen family at this time.

In the sixteenth chapter of the original book of Red Mansions, when Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian's nurse Zhao Mama were talking, they mentioned the matter: his family took over four times. Therefore, Mrs. Zhen is the nurse of the emperor, and Jia Huan can accept it.

But the eldest lady of the Zhen family turned out to be the crown princess, what is the situation?

The situation of the Zhen family, Jia Huan heard about it when he was in Jiafu. When he was in the middle of the tenth year of Yongzhi, the Zhen family intended to marry Miss Zhen San, who had not yet left the cabinet, to him. He knew something, but didn't think about it. The situation at that time, what was going on with the Zhen family, he rarely paid attention. He was bent on flying high.

However, looking at the situation of the Zhen family now, with the officialdom information that Jia Huan knows, it is extremely scary to think about it! (To be continued.) )
