Chapter 53: The Eunuch Legion

In a daze, he was woken up by Wang Chengen.

Yang Gai got up, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Big companion? What time is it? ”

"Your Majesty, it's not too late." Wang Chengen carefully approved Yang Reform's clothes. He replied.

"Well, okay, then let's go to Master Sun. I was delayed this morning. "Yang Reform goes to Sun Chengzong every day to exercise, which is a matter of guns, and he has to be careful.

……

"Alas, by the way, big companion, I heard Cao Huachun say last time that he was educated in the palace, and he is proficient in what poetry, calligraphy and painting he learned? Is there still this institution in the palace? "Yang had only heard that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to read and write. For fear of revealing the emperor's secrets. For example, sneaking a glance at the emperor's review of the recital, looking through the things that have been corrected, and I am afraid that the eunuch will pass the news outside the palace and carry a note or something.

"Your Majesty, yes, the celebrant has an inner study hall, which is responsible for selecting and training intelligent little internal officials, so that they can listen to errands everywhere in the palace in the future." Wang Chengen replied.

"This ......" Yang Reform was shocked again! This inner court is not called for nothing, and it also has its own training institution. Training one's own successor, this is really -- bull b. [The inner study hall is the eunuch school. 】

"What does the inner study hall teach?" Yang Reform is very curious, what is taught in the inner study hall, poetry and songs? A snowy night? The History of the Book of Songs? Gaining fame? A snowy night? Phew, bah, why is the eunuch snowy night? The History of the Book of Songs? Eunuchs don't test their fame, reading a bird's collection of Zijing and history, at most it's just to understand, poetry and songs, are eunuchs still ready to flirt with women?

Yang Reform thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand what to read and teach in this eunuch school.

"Companion, what do you say you are learning in this inner study hall?" Yang Reform was too curious.

"Back to Your Majesty, the inner study hall, the first task is to learn to read first, and then to read the collection of Zijing and history, poetry and songs are taught, but there is no need to test the fame, so it is also understandable, and it does not require how proficient you are in learning, and there is a difference between what you learn and the talents outside." Wang Chengen replied.

"This, do you teach math?" Yang Reform is very hopeful, this inner study hall can teach mathematics or something, doesn't that mean that he can also teach physics or geography by himself? In this way, wouldn't that be integrated with the "nine-year compulsory education" that I learned? ? Yang Gengai suddenly realized that the system of cultivating talents by himself and cultivating talents can actually be carried out in the palace, and there is no need to go outside to discuss with the courtiers, and ignore the reactions of the literati outside? The affairs in the palace are not yet the turn of the people in the "outer court".

"Back to Your Majesty, in terms of counting, I will also teach some, at least to be able to count, this is the most basic requirement. The palace is not like the outside, and it has to be tested for fame, so it is more practical. Wang Chengen's words were eloquent.

Yang Reform sounds like a heavenly sound! Haha, there's a head now, well, it's interesting, if you want to cultivate your own talent team, you can completely bypass the literati and doctor class outside, and you can do it first in the palace, and you have your own talent system, it's easy to do. This is really a happy thing than earning three or five million.

"Companion, don't go to Master Sun yet, let's go and see this inner study hall first, this is interesting, I want to go and see it." Yang Reform can't wait.

“…… Yes, Your Majesty ...... "Wang Chengen was surprised! Why do you want to go to the inner study? That emperor has nothing to do to go to that place? It's weird. But the emperor is the biggest, and if he wants to see the eunuch school, then go there.

……

Imperial City, Master of Ceremonies, Inner Study.

“…… The slave and maid knocked to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live......" At the door of the eunuch school, a large group of people knelt at the door to greet the emperor.

"Well, let's all be even." It's a great feeling to watch someone kowtow.

And the whole people got up from the ground and stepped aside. A eunuch at the head walked over with a grovel and reported: "Your Majesty, Zhang De'an, the steward of the inner study hall of the slave and maid celebrant eunuch, knocks to see Your Majesty." "Come over and salute again.

"Zhang De'an? Well, get up, yes, what do you teach in this inner library? Yang Gengai couldn't wait to know.

"Your Majesty, the main thing in the inner study hall is to read and break words...... and then the Zijing History Collection ......" Zhang De'an reported respectfully.

"What about arithmetic?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Your Majesty, you must be able to read and count." Zhang De'an replied respectfully.

"Is there anything else?"

"Others? Your Majesty, but poetry and songs? This kind of thing is only learned by the intelligent...... "Zhang De'an didn't know what the emperor was going to ask.

"It's not...... Forget it, tell me who teaches here. Yang asked again.

"Your Majesty, they are all from the palace, there are several instructors, and there are four teachers from the Hanlin Academy." Zhang De'an worked hard to curry favor with the emperor.

"Hanlin Academy? Why do eunuchs still have to go to Hanlin Academy to study? Could it be that the eunuch is also preparing to take a fame test? "Yang Reform is very unhappy, and the place where the eunuch studies also has people from the Hanlin Academy involved? That is to say, at least those who have passed the Jinshi come here to teach, and the scholars really control the educational resources of the whole country! Even inside the palace. Yang Reform was speechless. This literati and doctor class is really pervasive, even their most disgusting and biggest opponent - the eunuchs, the eunuchs' school - the inner study hall has to be mixed in a few people, and the eunuchs do not test their fame, ask the people of the Hanlin Academy to make a bird, can these eunuchs still enter the Hanlin Academy in the future? Yang was extremely unhappy with the reform.

Everyone else was speechless, and the emperor muttered alone and didn't know what to say, as if he was talking about the Hanlin Academy.

"How many students do you have here?" Yang Reform was upset for a while, and then asked.

"Your Majesty, there are about four or five hundred students, all of whom have been entering the inner study hall since they were about ten years old......" Zhang De'an explained carefully.

"Four or five hundred students? How many eunuchs are there in this palace? "Yang Gengai wants to see the proportion of eunuchs receiving education.

"......" Zhang Dean was speechless, how many eunuchs are there in this palace, can I know and answer? I didn't dare to say it immediately, but Wang Chengen, who was on the side, took over the words and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are more than 100,000 people in the register, of which about 90,000 are in the capital, and they are guarding, garrisoning, weaving, mine supervisors, supervising the army, etc., and so on......"

"Ahh Lakh? "Yang Reform is shocked! 100,000 people, how many people is that? It's time to catch up with an army group. A eunuch of an army group? Eunuch Legion?? …… Yang Reform was scorched by Lei on the outside and tender on the inside, and felt that this joke was a bit cold! Castration, real castration!

Yang Gai felt that his spirit was sluggish and a lot darker.

I came to the classroom of the inner study hall.

It's a group of baby eunuchs learning. When this group of little eunuchs saw the emperor coming, they were very excited, hoping that the emperor would take a fancy to him and he would be able to soar. There was hope in his eyes.

Yang Gai looked at this group of little eunuchs, feeling very sad, sad, with a little sadness, and also felt very awkward. This is the flower of the "motherland" that is serious, and it has been destroyed in this way. was sent to the palace as a eunuch, was stabbed, and became neither male nor female...... Looking at a group of "little eunuchs" who were ignorant, enthusiastic and excited, and nervous, Yang Gai felt that it was really not a good feeling in his heart......

But now is not the time to sigh about the fate of these eunuchs, Yang Reform's own fate has not yet been settled, if you don't work hard to get money, it will be a dead end!

If you engage in silver, you have to have someone to do it for yourself, and you can't move a box around to ask for silver, so even if you are a superman, there is no way, so you must have your own talent system, have your own talent pool, have your own reliable, trusted, and people who can do things according to your own wishes, with these people, your own ideas can be implemented, otherwise, relying on that group of pig-like elite teammates, sooner or later you will kill yourself. This is the top priority of Yang's reform now, and the problem that needs to be solved immediately.

Thinking of this, Yang Reform cheered up, cheered up, and under the leadership of Zhang De'an, the eunuch in charge of the Inner Academy, he visited all parts of the Inner School Hall with great interest, and also chatted with several teachers of the Hanlin Academy, urging them to teach well.

came out, Yang Reform had a plan in his heart, and was ready to start from this inner study hall that educated eunuchs to learn knowledge, reform the content of education, increase courses such as geography, physics, astronomy, etc., imitate the content learned in the "nine-year compulsory education" he received, change the knowledge structure of this group of eunuch students, and transform this group of eunuchs into "their own people" who have almost the same knowledge system as themselves, and establish a preliminary talent system for themselves.

However, this matter can only be implemented after meeting a few people, and I can't go into battle shirtless.

It's going to be a big deal! Yang Reform has a lot more certainty in his heart.;
