When I went to Bei'anmen to find someone, Hu Guang and the others told Liangchen when he set off.

These two unlucky guys who were self-creating in Beijing for more than two years have not been useless.

The imperial city is very large, in the middle of the inner city, with a moat surrounding the entire imperial city, and the vermilion wall stretching for more than ten miles, showing the royal style.

The Daming Gate, the southernmost part of the imperial city, is for officials to enter the court. Outside the Daming Gate are the six ministries and nine ministers, the five military governor's office and other major yamen. Outside the court is the Gongzi Factory, where all the powerful live, so it is impossible for idle people to have the opportunity to approach the imperial city from the south.

The east side of the imperial city is also a forbidden area, and people are prohibited from approaching, and only the west and north side can pass through.

The imperial city is divided into inner and outer cities. The outer city is the Taimiao, the Altar of the Soochow, the Cabinet, the Office of each department, and the twenty-four prisons of the inner court. The inner city is the palace city, which is the residence of the emperor, the queen mother and the concubines. On weekdays, even if it is not an emergency or the emperor summons, the prince of the Eastern Palace and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet are not allowed to enter the palace easily.

During the Jingtai period, if the imperial guards who were guarding the imperial city were not frightened by Zhu Qizhen and took the initiative to get locked up, no matter how many people there were outside, he would not have thought of attacking the imperial city.

Liangchen entered the inner city of Beijing from Chongwenmen in the south, and the southeast could not directly lead to the imperial city, so he could only go around a large circle and turn to Bei'anmen in the west.

This circle is not big from the map, but it is only twenty miles away that Liangchen can't move his legs.

He had no idea of ​​appreciating the natural scenery of Beijing. Liangchen now only knew how to grit his teeth and walked north. Otherwise, if the palace gate was closed, he would not be able to see his grandmother, and he would not be able to find his second uncle.

When his legs were as heavy as lead, the walls of the palace finally appeared in Liangchen's sight, and Bei'anmen was also close at hand. Liangchen also saw more and more palace maids and eunuchs.

These palace maids and eunuchs are old and young. The oldest is in their sixties and seventies, while the youngest is only six or seven years old.

This made Liangchen very surprised. Don’t the eunuchs and palace maids stay in the palace, and they can only come out unless they have official duties, so how can they enter and exit the palace so freely?

He didn't know that since the mid-Ming Dynasty, the palace's management of eunuchs and palace maids has gradually become relaxed. Except for those on duty, everyone else can freely enter and exit Bei'anmen Square, shop together, or make an appointment with friends to get together. He just needs to go back to the palace before the palace gate is closed.

The eunuchs and palace maids’ relatives and friends came to Beijing to visit relatives, and they also registered at Bei'anmen, and then the bell and drum officer, who was specifically responsible for the ban on Bei'anmen Palace, sent someone to notify them.

Some powerful eunuchs in the palace can even buy or rent a house outside the palace. Like those officials from the outside court, they enter the palace when they are on duty, and return to their home outside the palace if they are not on duty.

Of course, because of the special nature of palace maids, it is strictly forbidden for palace maids to live outside in the palace, even female officials cannot do it. The only exception is those female officials who work in the princess's house when they get married.

The reason for this is to prevent the palace maids from doing something shameful outside. After all, in terms of law, the palace maids belong to the emperor. If they are all worries outside, they will ask the emperor to put their face away.

There are times when the palace maids and eunuchs leave the palace. If they fail to return to the palace in time within the specified period, the minority will be deducted money, and the worst will be to set rules.

Every year, there are no less than a hundred eunuchs and palace maids who are beaten by being beaten to the palace because of a mistake. When they meet cruel concubines and big wives, they are beaten to death.

It is rumored that the empress nowadays will kill several palace maids every year. However, the emperor's most favored imperial concubines are relaxed to the people around her.

There are many shops outside Bei'anmen Square. These shops do their own palace business, and some are directly purchased by the various prisons in the palace.

When Liangchen arrived in Bei'anmen, it was already Shenshi in the afternoon. There was nothing wrong with this point palace, so many people paid for leave and many people came out for leave.

Being among the many eunuchs, the good minister felt a little strange. Fortunately, there were many palace maids, and they were also pleasing to the eye when they were tired.

Most eunuchs and palace maids who left the palace did not wear clothes sent by the palace, so it was difficult for good ministers to distinguish who had the higher status of these eunuchs in the palace.

I studied the history of the Ming Dynasty in my previous life, and the good ministers roughly knew the hierarchy of the inner court.

The title of eunuch is just a general term for eunuchs in the palace, but very few people can be called eunuchs.

Generally, eunuchs who have just entered the palace can only serve as ebony cards, hand towels, and small firemen on the bottom.

The person with a small fire is responsible for cleaning, washing, transporting and other hard work in the palace. For example, Gao Qiqian, a Liangchen who was caught in Tongzhou, is the person with a small fire who has been in the palace for more than two years.

The hand towels and ebony cards are slightly better than those of the small firemen. They serve with high-level eunuchs, handing them towels and picking things up, and running errands to pass messages.

If you serve well, you will have the chance to be appreciated by eunuchs. Therefore, many people with little fire dream of being attracted by their father-in-law.

Further up, each prisoner is the rank of the ranks, the ranks of the ranks, the ranks of the ranks, the ranks of the ranks, but not high, and under the seventh ranks, they are usually the eighth ranks. This type of eunuch is considered a middle-level eunuch, and usually has cultural requirements, at least literacy.

Further up the middle level, naturally, the chief supervisors of each supervisor, the young supervisor, and the eunuchs. The eunuchs are all the seals or admirals of each supervisor. If they can achieve this position, they can almost be said to be a figure in the inner court.

Why did Zhang Bing, a good minister and fellow villager, get rid of his land for expropriation by Zhang Bing, the chief supervisor of Baochao Department, get rid of his family's land for expropriation? The reason is that he is a certain figure in the palace.

Just as countless officials from the outer court worked in the six ministries and nine ministers for decades, they could not enter the cabinet and became the top civil servants, only a few eunuchs in the inner court could be promoted to the Sili Prison and become internal ministers who could be compared with the cabinet elders of the outer court.

The structure of this pyramid and the fact that the imperial examinations in the outside world were like a retreat, the difference was that there were birds under the crotch.

His second uncle is nine thousand years old in the future, so of course, Liangchen would not be able to find a big friend. After asking a young man who looked like a little fireman about finding someone in the palace, he came to the duty room of the bell and drums near Bei'anmen.

On the other side of the duty room is the duty room of the guards in the palace, and there is also the imperial guards behind the palace gate. The inspection is extremely strict. Without the sign and hand sticks sent by each prison and palace, no one can get into the palace.

After Liangchen entered, he found that there were five or six small firemen in the duty room, and a person wearing a green robe was responsible for the affairs.

"Who are you looking for?" Seeing that the boy came in, the one who heard about it looked up and looked at Wei Liangchen more. The man's voice was a little sharp.

"I'll look for a guest Yinyue." Liangchen didn't dare to make any mistakes and answered honestly.

There are so many people in the palace, and it is natural that it is impossible to know everyone after hearing the news, so he asked, "Ke Yinyue? What is she doing in the palace?"

Liangchen hurriedly said, "It's for the Emperor Changsun to be a wet nurse."

Hearing this, he nodded: "It seems like there is such a person." He asked Liangchen who was Ke Yinyue.

Of course, Liangchen couldn't say that the two had nothing to do with each other, so he said that they were the clan brothers of her hometown.

The Zhonggusi Department has a low status in the 24th Superintendent of the Inner Court. Most of the people sent to this department were unsuccessful in the palace, or had no background. So I did not make things difficult for the good ministers when I heard about it. I asked him for any running fees, and only asked him to wait. Then I ordered the few errand-runners to ask them to go to Qingning Palace, the Qingning Palace in the East Palace.

The palace is very large. Qingning Palace is located in the outer imperial city in Nantou, and it takes several miles to travel, so no one wants to go.

A little fireman pouted and said, "Eunuch Fan, the wet nurse lives outside the palace. Keshi may not be on duty at the young master. What should I do to ask him to go to Keshi's residence by himself."

Upon hearing this, Liangchen was stunned: Why doesn’t the nurse stay in the palace? If she is not in the palace, where will I find her?

The person who was called Eunuch Fan turned his face cold, glanced at the little firemen, and said coldly: "Is it useless for my family to speak yesterday?"

Seeing this, the few little firemen hurriedly said they didn't dare, so they pushed someone to the palace to call someone for the Liangchen.

Eunuch Fan snorted slightly and said to the stunned Liangchen: "Kess will be in the palace now, so you can just wait outside."

"Thank you, my father-in-law!"

Liangchen was very grateful and quit the duty room as he said. There were still many people behind him who wanted to find someone or send things to the palace.

It's a coincidence that today is exactly nineteen.

The rules in the palace are that visiting relatives and looking for people is four or nine, and no other time is allowed. Therefore, it is not possible for good ministers to come early one day, and even more so for good people to come late.

I guess Hu Guang and the others knew that they could find someone in the palace today, so they asked Liangchen to come, otherwise there would be no need to be so troublesome.

Liangchen didn't know when the person arrived, so he wandered outside the duty room. Finally, his legs were a little sore, so he simply sat under the corner of the city wall waiting.

Several guards on duty at the palace gate looked at Liangchen and ignored them. They had seen more people from other places.

There were many eunuchs and palace maids coming and going, so the good ministers had the leisure to observe them carefully.

Regardless of past and present life, but with some status, there will always be a group of people around you. Based on this analysis, Liangchen guessed a few eunuchs who had duties in the palace.

The eunuch was tired of seeing it, so he turned around to admire the palace maids. The more he looked, the more beautiful he became. Especially when a palace maid looked like a female official passed by, the good minister's eyes were about to be straightened.

He has long legs and white skin, a girlish figure, a mature sister, and an indescribable temperament. Liangchen felt so comfortable to see. This female official suits his taste.

The female official seemed to notice that Liang Chen was staring at her, turned her face to look, and there was frost on her face.

This girl is not very approachable.

Liangchen slowly turned his head and did not dare to look at the female official again, so as not to call the guards to beat him up.

When the female official walked away, Liangchen turned his head again to continue to appreciate her graceful figure, but his vision was blocked by several eunuchs.

The eunuchs seemed to have something to be happy about, and walked out of the palace gate as they spoke.

Liangchen was too lazy to watch these eunuchs, so he looked away from them, looked for a target again, and had some fantasies.

If you can't eat it, it's good to think about it.

Liangchen was having fun, and a sentence from the eunuchs who came over almost made him jump up.
