Since Chengzu moved his capital to Beijing, the power of Nanjing's garrison was controlled by three people. One was a garrison of Nanjing's garrison, the other was a eunuch of Nanjing's garrison, and the third was a Minister of War.

The garrison's yamen is called the outer garrison, while the garrison's yamen is the inner garrison. The Minister of War of Nanjing was the last civil servant and was the counselor's officer. The three of them were jointly responsible for the security of the Nandu.

Among the three, the eunuchs in Nanjing have the highest real power, which is probably because the eunuchs are relatives and their relationships are not comparable to those of the emperor.

Liu Chaoyong, the current eunuch in Nanjing, was transferred from the eunuch in the hall in the 27th year of Wanli. His predecessor Cui An was not from the Silijian, but from the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

He has had many origins as a garrison eunuch in Nanjing, and a considerable number of them did not come from the Sili, but from other supervisory bureaus.

For example, during the Zhengde period of Wuzong, Liu Yun, came from the Imperial Supervisor, and Yu Jun came from the Imperial Supervisor. It was not until the Jiajing period that there was an unwritten rule. Nanjing garrisons mostly chose the Sili, but they were not allowed to go out, but should also go out. This led to the rest of the supervision bureaus being unable to take care of the affairs of the capital.

To put it bluntly, it is actually the power struggle of the inner court in Beijing. Although the Southern Capital is the one who is the one who is a free government ministry, it is in the prosperous place of Jiangnan, affecting several southeastern provinces and the fundamental place of the Ming Dynasty. None of the inner court knows the importance of being a garrison eunuch here.

In the twenty-four yamen, only the Imperial Horse Supervisor can compete with the Sili Supervisor. After all, the lean camel is still bigger than the horse.

Liu Chaoyong was able to serve as a garrison in Nanjing because several people from the Sili Principal worked together to expel Cui An from the Imperial Horse Principal. He also served as the inner garrison in Nanjing for eleven years.

He was very knowledgeable. In his early years, he was the leader of Nei Shutang. He came out with the best grades of the first place. He was the first eunuch in Silijian. It was precisely because of his high knowledge that he was happy to interact with scholars. The inner garrison in Nanjing was not a dirty place in the eyes of scholars, but a romantic place.

This kind of romanticism is not that kind of romanticism, but is actually a place where writing and writing are elegant and content.

The inner guardian Eunuch Liu likes to be a famous writer, and everyone knows the Jiangnan far and near.

However, recently, Eunuch Liu has not talked about books and talked about the literati anymore, but has been away from the city to escape the summer heat.

The south is a famous furnace city, and the city is even more hot and soulless in July. Liu Chaoyong is older, so he did not live in the garrison eunuchs' yamen (inner garrison hall) in the city half a month ago. He has lived in the sacred palace guards' yamen in Xiaolingwei these days. There are mountains and water here, deep and dense forests, which is a good place to escape the summer heat.

The Shengong Supervisory Office of Xiaoling is the only vocational office in the inner court except for the twenty-four yamen in Beijing. This yamen has only one responsibility, namely, to guard the Taizu Tomb, and a member of the eunuch in charge of seals is provided.

Unlike the Beijing Shengong Supervisor, the Nandu Shengong Supervisor is nominally equivalent to the Sili eunuch, and the rank is also the fourth rank of the internal supervisor, so it is generally managed by the Nanjing garrison eunuch. If the garrison eunuch cannot be managed, there will be conflicts between the two supervisors.

For example, during the Xuande period, the eunuch in Nanjing was in conflict with Miao Qing, the supervisor of the Xiaoling Temple, and during the Chenghua period, the eunuch in the garrison even fought with Wei Qing, the eunuch in the divine palace.

The key to the battle is not that the second prison is of the same level as the second prison, and that everyone wants to overwhelm, but that the eunuchs of the Xiaoling Temple have the right to raise troops. This soldier is the tomb guarding soldiers of Xiaoling Guard.

In addition, the rules in the palace that whenever the internal supervisor is convicted, they are often exiled to Nanjing, and they are served as the military breeding in Xiaoling, and the eunuchs in the divine palace are responsible for the supervision.

Whenever those who grow vegetables arrive in Nanjing, the eunuch of the Divine Palace (the guardian Daquan) must sit in a grand manner and drink the saying "get the official duties". Then Jingjun's shoulders are a bucket of manure and a spoon and go forward, even if the Jingjun's vegetable was made in the head of the Silijian before. Just as Feng Bao, who had become the power of this dynasty, was sent to Nanjing, he was taken care of like an ordinary internal supervisor.

There are struggles in the court, and there are struggles in the palace.

In the court, if you lose power today, you may be able to rise again tomorrow. Today is high and you may be able to leave tomorrow. In the court, you will rely on the same year, your position, your colleagues, your hometown party, and the inner court also rely on these.

However, compared with the court, the power struggle in the inner court is much darker and more dangerous. Looking at the founding of this dynasty, it is difficult for anyone who has sent Xiaoling tomb to regain his chance. However, those who sent to Fengyang to see the fragrance have the chance to return to the palace, such as Da Wan Huai'en during the Chenghua period.

Therefore, there are several benefits to being the eunuch of the temple in Xiaoling. At least, there are grievances and revenge. If the great masters in the inner court want to deal with others and not to recover, they have to rely on the eunuch of the temple in Xiaoling.

If the eunuch who lost power does not want to die of illness for no reason, he will definitely use all his wealth to buy his life, and there are many hidden lines involved.

If you use it well, there will be great benefits in the future.

With these two benefits, the eunuch in Nanjing cannot stand in one mountain and two tigers. Let there be a eunuch in the divine palace beside him, and there is a seated place with him, laying nails and burying hidden dangers.

Since the Jiajing Dynasty, the garrison in Nanjing must serve as the eunuch of the Xiaoling Temple, which is an unwritten rule in the palace.

There were quite a few troops garrisoned by Xiaoling Guard. The quota for this dynasty was 5,600 people, and the internal department was established, including 500 elite soldiers.

The requirement for this elite soldier is to be able to ride a horse and whip, run quickly, and ride a horse across a trench, cross a wall, and shoot arrows on the horse. Only those who hit two arrows with three arrows are qualified.

It is certainly extremely powerful to have five hundred such elite soldiers in a guard. Unfortunately, with the corruption of the national garrison system, the elite soldiers of Xiaoling were in name only.

For example, the guardian of the garrison of Eunuch Liu, who was cleaning and traveling to guard the nominal elite soldiers of Xiaoling, but these people have long become scheming, no different from the guardians of ordinary wealthy families.

Eunuch Liu is so elegant. He will bring a cart of books wherever he goes. He lies in the shade of a tree to read books while he is idle. This is his biggest hobby in his life.

While studying this day, the prisoner came to report that Eunuch Chen had come to the city. This Eunuch Chen was named Chen Fu, the right supervisor of the inner garrison hall, and the title of fifth-rank. There are two young supervisors from the fourth-rank, and the grade is second-rank higher than that of ordinary yamen in Beijing, which is comparable to the Sili Supervisor.

"What is he here to do?"

Liu Chaoyong raised the book in his hand and signaled the eunuch to bring the person over.

Chen Fu couldn't ride a horse, so he came over from the inner guard office of the Baichuan Bridge Turning Shop. When he saw Eunuch Liu, he shouted happily: "Old man, your place is so cool."

"Well, why don't you cool down? What can I do in this place?"

Liu Chaoyong smiled softly. He was from Yangzhou. Yangzhou people called him "Old Master" to an older man. In addition, Liu Chaoyong was a eunuch and had no practical meaning in his descendants, so he cared about the feeling of family. Therefore, the prison term "Old Master" was called him "Old Master". When people outside saw him, they respectfully called him "Old Master".

The title "old man" is very approachable and shows Liu Chaoyong's character.

His predecessor, Cui An, had a large number of tax cards for all the city gates in Nanjing. Cui An, was directly collected by him. Moreover, this garrison eunuch from the Imperial Horse Prison, loved martial arts and was very fond of military affairs. He had no time to do so and was enlisted with the garrison minister Fengcheng Marquis Li Huan.

When the Western missionary Matteo Ricci introduced him to Cui An by people, Cui An called him "Qiansui" without any scruples. Later, he even called him "Qiansui" by the yamen in the prison.

After Liu Chaoyong took over as the garrison in Nanjing, he said that Cui An was a disaster. He was afraid that Liu Jin would forget all the consequences of him.

Everyone in the Silijian put their pens together and took Cui An away, afraid that it was because of the word "Thousand Years".

Will our Ming Dynasty, the Dahuan, called "Thousand-Second", have a good ending?

It is the most realistic and safest to be the "old man".

"What are you holding in your hand? It's hot, you don't stay at home, run here to make a shinizi." Liu Chaoyong saw that Chen Fu seemed to be holding a letter in his hand.

"Old Master, you know, if nothing can I disturb you if you have nothing to do, it's really impossible for us to do this. We must speak."

Li Fu is not from Yangzhou, but in order to please the garrison, he learned to speak Yangzhou dialect. Don’t say that, this method is really effective. After being able to speak Yangzhou dialect, he asked Eunuch Liu to mention the supervisor within two months. Now he is like a celebrity around Eunuch Liu.

"Suzhou Cao Zhongcheng sent it, please take a look no matter what." Li Fu walked up to him with a smile and handed the letter in his hand to Liu Chaoyong.

"Cao Shi's recruitment of that person is meaningless. He ignored me when he was in Jurong. He ignored me even more when he went to Suzhou. Now he came to deliver a letter and looked at me. He is a shinnie?" Liu Chaoyong said as he tore open the wax seal on the letter, took out the letter paper and looked at it.

"I'm afraid it's not Wuxi's business and I want to ask the old man for help?" Li Fu thought a little about the troubled people in Wuxi. Their internal garrison was clear about the matters.

"Yeah, where."

After reading the letter, Liu Chaoyong nodded, threw the letter aside, and then said, "He asked me to help me, I would help me? If he asked me to kill someone, I would kill someone?" This governor is really meaningless. He wants reputation but doesn't want to take risks. He pushes me and points at me to deal with things for him. It's funny, funny."

Chen Fu chuckled and asked, "Old Master, what did Cao Zhongcheng say in his letter?"

"What can I say?" Liu Chaoyong smiled, "I want to be the first person I am for him."

Chen Fu whispered: "Old Master, that Wei Liangchen is indeed from the Inner Supervision Office. I heard that it was recommended by Mr. Jin Zhong. The people he brought were from the Four Guards of Tengxiang, the Imperial Horse Supervisor."

"It's alright."

Liu Chao nodded slightly.

Chen Fu hesitated and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Do it? What do you do? What does this matter? What do you do? I am the garrison in Nanjing, not his Yingtian Fushi. He is the errand for him, Cao Shikai."
