Chapter 700: Eunuch with Pen
After hearing the words, Liu Jixiang smiled slightly and said to Wang Yongshou next to him: "The one who came from Tianjin is young and energetic. When you go in later, listen more and talk less. Don't let the words go."
Wang Yongshou nodded quickly and said, "Yes, the governor."
Someone came to greet the Wenshu room not far away, but it was the eunuch Liu Shimin of the Wenshu room.
Liu Jixiang had met this person at the funeral of his ex-pin Chen Ju. He knew that his family was a good family. His father was the deputy general of Liaoyang Town. He was a talented person at a young age and wrote good characters. However, for some reason, he did not act as a good hereditary official and entered the palace. He heard that his ex-pin Chen had recommended several people to the emperor before his death, and Liu Shimin was one of them.
The emperor thought of Eunuch Chen's contribution when he was alive, so he specially called Liu Shimin the eunuch in the study room and was in charge of the documents in the inner court. If nothing unexpected happens, if a few years of training, a eunuch in the hall will not be able to escape. After a few years of hard work, he will accumulate some qualifications and make sure it is a foregone conclusion on the eunuch board. However, I heard that this young husband Liu had a strange dream and castrated himself, which is also a strange story.
Liu Jixiang is a man who loves talent. Liu Shimin is one of the few talented men in the palace, so he admires him more and nods at him with a smile.
"Eunuch Liu, the palm prints and a few old men with pens are waiting for you to grow old." Liu Shimin bowed to Liu Jixiang with great respect.
Liu Jixiang asked casually: "Who are there?"
Liu Shimin replied: "Everyone except Eunuch Xiao is here."
Liu Jixiang said "Oh", with a look on his face, but was surprised inside.
In addition to the one in charge of the seal, there are seven eunuchs in the Silijian who are in charge of the pen, and they are divided into various yamen. Usually, all the pens are on the rotation, and it is rare to gather together. Today, six of them came at once, only one of them was the admiral, the wine and vinegar bureau, the needle office, and the silver bureau, which has not arrived, which shows the importance of the palace in this matter.
"Director Liu passed by now?" Liu Shimin asked in a low voice.
"I've come here, why don't you go in?"
Liu Jixiang waved his hand slightly, Liu Shimin was busy leading the way, and Wang Yongshou followed carefully, not daring to make any noise.
Several father-in-law in the room were still talking, and someone was quarreling.
Liu Shimin arrived outside the door, stopped, looked at Liu Jixiang apologetically. Liu Jixiang nodded slightly. The former bent inside and said softly: "Old ancestor, Liu Gong, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, has arrived."
A very vicissitudes of voice came from the house: "Old Liu, why don't you come in yet?"
The owner of this vicissitudes of life is Sun Xian, who is currently the eunuch in charge of the seal. Sun Xian is an old man who entered the palace in the 20th year of Jiajing. He is a quiet person and does not like to move. However, everyone in the palace knows that this Eunuch Sun is actually very ambitious. The incident of Feng (Bao) and Zhang (Jing) was behind it.
"Old Ancestor" is the honorable title of Sili Zhangzhang in the palace. This title also represents the important position of Sili Zhangzhang in the inner court.
"If my ancestors don't say anything, how dare I come in casually." Liu Jixiang laughed outside, "I feel scared when I look at you outside." As he spoke, he had already entered the duty room, and the red robe star was sitting in his eyes.
Sitting next to Sun Xian was Bingbi Jin Zhong. He and Liu Jixiang had worked with each other before and were very close to each other. He smiled and said, "Our Silijian is not the Imperial Male Prison for your soldiers, but there is no White Tiger Festival Hall. What are you afraid of? Do you know that this disaster is too big and you are afraid that you will not be able to wipe your butt?"
"My butt is very clean. Don't wipe it for me casually, otherwise your hands will get dirty."
Liu Jixiang smiled and glanced at the crowd of big wands. Jin Zhong and Liang Dong were both under the name of Zhang Jing, who was the chief sealer of the Eastern Factory and the supervisor of the Inner Office.
After Zhang Jing defeated Feng Bao, his power was even better than Feng Bao was when he was alive. Later, he touched the bottom line of the emperor and called him. The forces under his name called Jin Zhong and Liang Dong to take over. These two were also the "Imperial Concubine Sect" in the palace. When Chen Ju was alive, he had fought with Chen Ju openly and secretly for many years.
Sitting opposite Jin Zhong is Zhang Cheng, and next to Zhang Cheng is the newly-Jin Bingbi Ma Tang.
Ma Tang is very thin, but he looks capable. He is the youngest in the red robe here, and he is only in his early forties this year. After returning to Beijing, he wanted to compete for the errand of the East Factory, but he has been obstructed by Sun Xian and the other people, so he has a bad relationship with the others.
Strictly speaking, Ma Tang is neither the prince's school nor the imperial concubine's school. If you have to say which side, it should be the emperor's part. This man is very smart and never participates in the dispute over the country. In the past ten years, he has been devoted to making money for the emperor. He has been in charge of Tianjin and Linqing's tax customs in recent years. In order to return to Beijing to be promoted to Bingbi, he respected the emperor 200,000 taels more than three months ago, and only ate two more bowls of the emperor's happy meal. Then he sent a message to the Sili Supervisor and returned to Beijing.
The other two were the admirals Yin Sui, Shang Bao, Qian Zhong from the Third Superintendent of Zhidian, and Wang Shun from the Fourth Division.
Qian Zhong is a good-tempered person, and is the godson of Chen Hong, Dazhe during the Jiajing period. Wang Shun was originally the manager of Empress Dowager Li's harem. He was very happy with the empress dowager because of his ability to do things. He specially asked the emperor to write a pen to him.
After being appointed as the pen, Wang Shun also asked Cining Palace everything. The Empress Dowager said that he could do it, but the Empress Dowager said that he could not do it. Therefore, people in the palace said that he was the empress dowager's melody and got the nickname "Mr. Can you do it?"
Qian Zhong and Wang Shun were also "the prince's sects", and Sun Xian and Zhangyin were close to the Eastern Palace. During the dispute over the foundation of the country, these two did not speak for the young master at the Empress Dowager.
Therefore, from the seats of these people in the house, there are obvious three groups.
A group of prince sects, a group of imperial concubines sects, and a neutral filial piety sect.
Xiao Yu, who did not come, was a peacemaker. His pen was obtained by picking up bargains and was a person who was indifferent to the world.
In addition to the few sitting big pens, there were three people standing in the room.
One is Cao Jukui, the head seal of the Inner Official Supervision Office. Liu Jixiang is not surprised that he appears in the Sili Quotation Room, because Wei Liangchen is the Inner Official Supervision Office.
If something happened to his subordinate, can Cao Zhikui, the immediate boss, be out of the scene?
I just heard that Cao Jukui and Ma Tang were very close. Wei Liangchen set up an Inner Government Office in the middle of the capital and was bullied by the Dongchang. Behind him, there seemed to be the shadow of Cao Jukui and Ma Tang.
Liu Jixiang didn't know much about why.
The other two are Qi Xun, the eunuch of the Yudai Department, who was brought in by Sun Xian after being in charge of the printing. He was responsible for the study room and the scripture factory. He is considered the new master of Master Sun.
The rest of the man was not a eunuch, and he was wearing the costumes of the Jinyiwei. Liu Jixiang didn't know him and didn't know what he was doing in Beizhen.
"Old Liu, stop watching, sit down." Sun Xian raised his hand happily and signaled Qi Xun to move a chair to let Liu Jixiang sit down and talk.
"You Duke Liu is rare to run to our Sili Supervisor. If you don't bring a chair for you, next time we go to your Royal Horse Supervisor, we will probably not even have a door in." Jin Zhong joked.
"This is what I meant by Han Wu, I am the horse guards? You are the best at the top, but I am the best at the top. If the top is here, we all have to go out to greet each other."
