Chapter 372
Like dominoes, as long as you start lightly, everything that follows will follow the arrangement of fate, and at some point, it will turn into an existence called retribution and come to you.
Zhu Yuanzhang set up 24 yamen, also known as 24 prisons, to control all eunuchs and maids in the palace.Each has its own department, but there are always high and low points.
Before the Supervisor of Rituals appeared, to be precise, before the Supervisor of Rituals seized the power, Yumajian was the well-deserved leader.
Even if it is overwhelmed by the supervisor of rites, it is still a strong yamen, after all, it is holding a knife.
Although in name, what the Imperial Horse Supervisor is doing is "controlling the horses and all the tributes and the collection of horse mules at the herdsman", but in fact, they command the strongest army in Nanjing, and the Tengxiang Fourth Army directly under the emperor's command. guard.
How can the slave who feeds the horse become the master who rides the horse?
This question sounds weird, but it is not.
In this era, the strongest arm on land is the cavalry.People who ride horses are everywhere, but there are not many people who raise horses, especially those who can understand how to raise horses and develop them into war horses.
People who keep horses are bound to ride horses, but not vice versa.Combining the two functions into one, it seems that the only choice is to let the horse-breeding supervisor act as the horse owner.
As a result, the Yumajian became a very special existence: one of the 24 prisons, and the person in charge was also a eunuch, but led by a group of soldiers who ate people and licked blood.
People with discerning eyes can think of the reason above, but few people know that there is actually another reason for the existence of this imperial horse prison.
The reason is that there is one person, an old man named Zhao Luqin, the palm print eunuch of the Yumajian, who directly manages the entire Yumajian yamen, and is also the actual manager of the forbidden army of Tengxiang Four Guards.
He is said to be old because of his age, already fifty-seven, and in this era, he is already a person whose neck is buried in the earth.But he is still the palm of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Zhu Yuanzhang has never replaced him, and Zhu Yunqi has never had this idea.
The reason on the surface is simple, because he can be extraordinary.
Old is old, especially the ancient Lian Po Han Sheng, my humerus is also.
There are only a handful of people who can be praised by Zhu Yuanzhang. If the special status requirement of eunuch is added, then Zhao Luqin can be regarded as the only one.
What I have to admit is that Zhao Luqin is worthy of Zhu Yuanzhang's praise, tearing up tigers and leopards, has a strategy in mind, is advancing day by day, and opening four stone bows is effortless.Is this ability to wait for nothing?
Most importantly, he is loyal enough.When he walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, Zhu Yuanzhang was not yet the emperor of Ming Dynasty, but only had the title of King Wu.
Zhao Luqin was not an eunuch at that time, but Zhu Yuanzhang's pro-military lieutenant, which is equivalent to the highest-level bodyguard in today's words.When necessary, he also went to battle with Zhu Yuanzhang to kill the enemy.
Later, because of an evil deed, in order to save Zhu Yuanzhang's life, he became a useless person.But Zhu Yuanzhang remembered his goodness and recognized his loyalty, so he also had the imperial horse supervisor who led the army.
"As long as you are still willing to use the knife, the Imperial Horse Supervisor will be yours."
A person who can be disabled for himself is also an 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 were only two eunuchs who could speak in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, an emperor who hated eunuchs. One was the dead Lao Zhang, and the other was Zhao Luqin.
Zhu Yuanzhang trusted them, but unfortunately, he didn't know the existence of Tianmen.Otherwise, he would know that the more powerful the eunuch in the palace, the more he should be killed.
Lao Zhang is from Tianmen, and Zhao Luqin is no exception.
Deer milk serving relatives, the allusion in 24 filial piety, is also the origin of Zhao Luqin's name, and it is also the trace left by Ren Xiao.
He was originally an eunuch, so it was just a formality, walking to Zhu Yuanzhang's side was Ren Xiao's last arrangement, an idle chess set up by Ren Xiao to kill Xiaoming King Han Lin'er.
Han Lin'er's death went surprisingly smoothly, and Anzi continued to go dark as it was useless.Everything after that, although there were some small accidents, but. . .That's right, it's all plays, the plays played for Zhu Yuanzhang, a very successful play.
Life is like a play, and play is like life.What is true and what is false.The authorities are fans, but there is always an end.
Picking up the spool of yellow silk on the table, shaking it again and again in his hands, he smiled silently, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of his nose became more and more mean.
This yellow silk is now just a roll of yellow silk, with the emperor's jade seal stamped inside, but there is not a word of will.In other words, this is a blank volume of imperial decree, what is written is what it is, and it was given to him by Zhu Yuanzhang.
It's hard to imagine that the wise and mighty Zhu Yuanzhang would give him such a thing as a eunuch, but that's the truth.
How to use this thing?
Zhao Luqin knew exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.
The Royal Horse Imprisonment Army is not under the control of the Ministry of War, and the only requirement for dispatching is the emperor's personal order, otherwise it will be punished as treason.
But the emperor may encounter a situation where he can't help himself, and this blank will can come in handy.
Tonight, a fire broke out in the palace, which lasted for a long time.There was even a faint sound of shouting and killing.It seems that it is time to use this piece of yellow silk, which is his duty as the imperial horse supervisor.
Can. . .
There is also a roll of yellow silk on the table, which is the real imperial decree, with a seal and an order: "Geng Bingwen conspires against you, you should be punished!"
This decree is false, there is no doubt about it.
Disorder is one of them, and more importantly, it was given to him by the yellow fan pillow.
"The emperor is dead, there is no proof of death, no one can expose you."
That's what Huang Fanzhen said, and there is no loophole to refute it.But Zhao Luqin still hesitated.
This is the order of the yellow fan pillow, not the order of the master of Tianmen.As the head of the Da Xun Character Hall, what can I do if I ignore it?
Ignore it. . .What should he do?
Entering the palace to serve the king?
The emperor was planning to do something to the eunuch, so it seemed good to die.
Stand still?seem. . .I am a little sorry for the blank scroll in my hand.
Eunuchs are vicious, but they are also human beings, so they naturally have feelings.In any case, from the beginning to the end, Zhu Yuanzhang was right with him.
Go, go, go
Zhao Lu sighed three times, unfolded the yellow silk in his hand on the table, picked up the pen, soaked in ink, swiped up and down, and the pen went like a snake.
"Come on!"
Hearing the sound, the small school outside the door came in, lifted his robe and bowed down: "What orders do you have, father-in-law?"
"Sound the general drums, order the soldiers in the school field, the Holy Majesty's will has arrived!"
. . . . . .
"The Holy Majesty's decree has arrived!" In two quarters of an hour, that is, half an hour, the school field was crowded with people, the horses neighed, Zhao Lu personally put on his helmet and armor, and his burqa stripped his belt. Zhang Xiwu led the Yulin army to rebel, intending to plot rebellion and kill the king.
I am the seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and following the will of the sage, I will lead you and others into the palace to serve as the king's escort, and enter the palace immediately.
This is the will of the Holy Majesty, whoever disobeys the order will be beheaded! "
Still working overtime, secretly writing.If you are grateful, I will make it up tomorrow, meow meow
