The profession of eunuchs basically accompanies the development history of the entire Chinese nation. According to the written records in oracle bone inscriptions, the origin of eunuchs in our country's history is actually older than that of Western countries. Because eunuchs do not have the "ability" to go to Yunshan Wuyu with beauties.

, so it became a "must have" for each generation of emperors to enter and leave the harem, allowing some eunuchs to catch up with themselves and have great luck. They were very favored by the emperor and had some power. As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the owner. For example, in the pre-Ming Dynasty

The newly established emperor Liu Jin and the 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian were both truly corrupt officials. When their homes were raided, their financial resources were tens of millions of taels, including simple gold and silver, not to mention countless rare treasures.

During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, eunuchs were called eunuchs. By the Qin and Han Dynasties, the power of eunuchs had greatly increased. With the development of eunuchs, by the Wei and Jin dynasties, eunuchs were very powerful. However, by the early Tang Dynasty, due to the enlightened politics, the behavior of eunuchs had changed.

They were very restricted and only served their masters. However, with the political corruption of the Tang Dynasty and the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the power of the eunuchs greatly increased. In the late Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs actually controlled administrative power. This greatly aggravated the corruption of the Tang Dynasty and also intensified the Tang Dynasty's

Destruction. In the Song Dynasty, due to economic prosperity, strong national power, and enlightened politics, the power of eunuchs was greatly restricted. In the Yuan Dynasty, the term "eunuch" came out and replaced the title of "eunuch".

In the early Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang made no secret of his disdain for the profession of eunuchs. He once said, "This Cao (eunuch) has only one good person among thousands, and there are always hundreds of bad people. If he is used as an ear and an eye, he will be an ear and an eye."

Lao Zhu also stipulated that the official rank of eunuchs should not be higher than the fourth rank, and they would be given rice and one stone per month, and all food and clothing would be provided by the official. An iron sign would be set up in the palace with the inscription "Ministers are not allowed to interfere in political affairs, and offenders will be executed."

.This is also an important reason why during Lao Zhu’s administration, twenty-four yamen with internal supervision were established, but no eunuchs took power.

During this period, eunuchs had almost no power to speak of. In the middle period, because eunuchs were reused, their power increased greatly. In the late Ming Dynasty, political corruption appeared again and eunuchs took over administrative power.

In the beginning, eunuchs were a product of punishment - castration. For example, in Volume 16 of "Tongzhi", "Everyone in the Northern Wei Dynasty who commits treason and treason will be executed, and his fellow citizens will be punished, and those under the age of fourteen will be punished by corruption." Here

Corruption punishment is palace punishment, for example, the famous historian Sima Qian. Because he defended Li Ling who surrendered to the Xiongnu with a few words, "The superiors used Qian as a false accusation, but in order to suppress the two masters, they lobbied for the mausoleum, and the lower officials punished him with corruption."

There are also Zhang He, Gao Lishi, and Zheng He.

Until later, due to the special nature of the eunuch profession, all the people who came into contact with were royal relatives, and food and accommodation were provided, so the pressure of competition was very small, there was no danger of unemployment, and there was no need to buy a house for a wife or raise children's education.

Worried, some people gradually took matters into their own hands in order to find a way out, and then spent money to find someone to send them to the palace. It must be said that such people are ruthless people, such as Wei Zhongxian and Eunuch Wei, who did it themselves.

Now that the Ming Empire has been established, this humiliating profession has been abolished due to the interference of the world's human rights organizations. Therefore, it is still not easy to see living eunuchs. After all, eunuchs are also a high-risk industry. First of all, ordinary people will be killed by the knife.

I couldn't stand it. Although Hua Tuo had recorded surgical operations in the "Qing Sang Jing" as early as the Three Kingdoms period, the anesthetics at that time were also very ineffective, and eunuchs were among the lowest people in the palace. They always endured the pain of their peers.

The bullying from the eunuchs, the overwhelming anger of his masters, little luck, and little ability to withstand beatings meant that it was still difficult for him to live to the end of his life.

Seeing the living eunuch was as surprising as seeing the emperor. The white cat was also very happy. He grabbed Hao Liande's hands excitedly and asked, "Are you really Hao Liande?"

"Well, do I need to pretend?" Hao Liande tried his best to withdraw his hand and said, although he is no longer a complete man and cannot like women, but it is impossible to like men. It is so unbecoming to be held by a man.

It's insulting to politeness.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was just excited. You know, you have always been my idol." Bai Mao was so excited that he could not speak coherently. It was really like those fans meeting their idols, but Bai Mao also controlled it and did not

I cried bitterly and was so excited that I couldn't control myself.

"Well" Hao Liande is already full of black marks. He regards a eunuch as his idol. There is something wrong with this person's values. Could it be that this guy is sarcastic about himself? But seeing the sincere performance of the white cat, it is very similar to those on TV.

A brainless fan who wants to die or die for his idol.

The white cat hurriedly took out a pen from his arms and asked: "Eunuch Hao Lian, can you sign your name for me?"

"Ah, sign, sign," what's going on? Could it be that my calligraphy can be sold for the same amount of money as the original underwear of those big stars.

"Yes, yes, sign. It's best if you can write a few more words of encouragement." The white cat looked at Hao Liande eagerly, his eyes full of expectation.

Hao Liande was not used to rejecting people, let alone those who admired him. How could he be sad and shed tears? He took the pen and asked, "Where to write?" Hao Liande was born in the No. 1 Scholar School, and his handwriting also had the style of everyone.

The white cat searched for a long time but couldn't find the right paper. Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of his white work clothes. Because the doorman is the image of Min Guogong's mansion, he is required to wear a white gown and must wash it every day to maintain the true color of the clothes.

So the white cat said: "Eunuch Haolian, you can write on me."

"Ah, I'm writing on you, isn't it a bit too ostentatious?" Hao Liande said, his head full of black lines.

"What I want is this effect, otherwise how will others know that I know my idol? This is the same as letting others know if you have money," Bai Mao said confidently.

Hao Liande actually felt that it made sense, so he no longer hesitated, picked up the pen and asked: "Okay, what do you want to write?"

The white cat thought for a while and said, "Just write, the white cat is so handsome."

White Cat thinks so. Hao Liande still has some female fans. After all, such an unusual body is also very attractive to girls. He has Hao Liande's calligraphy treasure and inscribed it himself - White Cat is very handsome. This is what Hao Liande thinks of his appearance.

A kind of affirmation will still be of great help in solving major issues in your life.

Hao Liande looked at the white cat in front of him, with a big forehead, small eyes, rosacea, and a big mouth. Didn't he go out of the palace often? Modern people's aesthetics have also changed. Why are those little fresh meats more popular on TV? Obviously white cats

Cat is the kind of person who pays tribute to himself. He must be honest and cannot tell lies with his conscience. He must be responsible for what he says. He decisively refused and said, "I can't write handsome words." Hao Liande still left the white cat.

Some face, no slap in the face.

"Well, even the number one scholar can't write some words."

"have"

"Okay then." The white cat thought for a while and said, "Okay then, the white cat is so beautiful."

"I can't write about beauty, but I can write about mother," Hao Liande said.

"Baimao, my dear mother, no, no, I'm the one with the handle." Bai Mao refused decisively.

I wonder if this kid did it on purpose, scolding the bald donkey in front of the monk, and deliberately bringing up his own sadness. Hao Liande cursed in his heart.

After thinking about it for a long time, Bai Mao couldn't think of a word that could summarize or explain a fact.

The No. 1 pick was still thinking fast, so Hao Liande said: "Let's do this. I'll write you a pinyin, which means the same thing."

White Cat decisively agreed,

So Hao Liande wrote on the white cat's clothes that the white cat is very - followed by the pinyin shuai. For this, Hao Liande was very grateful to his ancestors for creating so many words with the same pronunciation and different characters.

Then under the insistence of the white cat, Hao Liande signed his name reluctantly. Originally, the white cat wanted Hao Liande to stamp the seal of the imperial eunuch, but Hao Liande refused because he didn't have it with him.

Seeing this, the black dog also ran over, looked at Hao Liande expectantly, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Hao Lian, can you also sign your name for me?"

"Uh, okay." Who can bear to say no to his fans?

"Okay, please, Uncle Hao Lian, please write - I want a mother-in-law." The black dog was very excited, showing his white teeth stuffed with a few slices of leeks.

"Well, isn't this a bit too direct?"

The black dog laughed and patted his chest and said, "I, Lao Hei, are straight-tempered."

"Uh" Suddenly Hao Liande didn't know what word to use to describe Heigou. He suddenly thought of a word, patted Heigou on the shoulder and said, "You are such a sweetheart."

After writing the words in the same way, they signed their names, with great vigor and vigor. The two of them had planned to pass down the clothes signed by Hao Liande as a family heirloom. Of course, they had to solve the problem of their daughter-in-law first. This problem was difficult, after all.

Women are expensive consumers, and most people really can't afford them.

The wish came true, and the white cat trotted into the house to announce. After a while, a white-faced scholar came out behind him. This man was fifty years old, with a very white complexion, a square face, bright eyes, and a high nose bridge.

, wearing a green gown with rusty mountain and river patterns embroidered on it, a belt at the waist, and a round jade pendant hanging down.

On his feet are black flat-soled soap boots with patterns of birds and animals on them. His skin is shiny and should be very elastic. He probably pays great attention to maintenance, and he looks like he is only in his thirties. This person is the second son of Min Guogong, Wang Jixin.

Wang Jixin from afar came towards Hao Liande with a smile on his face, stretched out his hands, took Hao Liande's hand, and said excitedly and joyfully: "Eunuch Hao Lian is so busy that he can come to our palace.

With the brilliance of the pomelo, the princes and other people of our country will be proud of themselves."

Hao Liande also said hurriedly: "Second Young Master, you are being polite, you are being polite, but it is not as serious as you said."

"Yes, yes, Eunuch Hao Lian has been serving the Holy Lord. It is of course an honor for us to come to the residence of the Duke of Min today." Wang Jixin continued to insist. Faced with the famous people around the Holy Lord, Wang Jixin did not dare to offend.

Hao Liande felt uncomfortable in every way when his hand was held by Wang Jixin. Why did everyone in the Duke of Min's mansion like to touch other people's hands? He carefully withdrew his hand and said, "That's it. The Holy One knew that the Duke was ill and was very worried, so he specially asked

I sent some supplements to Duke Guo. I hope that Duke Guo can recover soon and regain his health. The Ming Empire cannot do without loyal ministers like Duke Min."

"It is indeed a blessing for our Duke to think of my father even in his busy schedule. How can we not allow our Duke to spend the rest of his life repaying His kindness? When encountering such a Holy Lord, our Duke would be willing to die in repayment."

, Be loyal to the Holy One, be loyal to the Ming Empire, and be loyal to the Zhu Dynasty. Throw your head, spill your blood, and be not afraid of being shattered into pieces. You must leave your innocence in the world. No one has died in life since ancient times, and his loyalty will be remembered by history."

Well, what was this guy talking about? Hao Liande had to interrupt Wang Jixin's passionate performance of loyalty and walked towards the courtyard.

Along the way, Wang Jixin also talked about it, and his meaning was very clear. He was still young, and he hoped that he could continue to shine, contribute to the modernization of the Ming Empire, and work hard. In a word, I hope Hao Liande can be beautiful in front of the Holy Emperor.

Just say a few words and give yourself an official position.

Hao Liande listened all the way and did not express his position. His Majesty was already wary of several princes, especially your Min family. How could he be so stupid as to seek an official position for the second young master of your Min family?

When I came to the courtyard of Duke Min, there was a young and beautiful woman standing at the door. She was about thirty years old. She was as beautiful as a flower, and she was as beautiful as a flower. She had a heroic spirit between her eyebrows. This woman was Wang Jixian, the elder brother of Duke Min.

daughter, the third young lady of the Duke's mansion.

Seeing Hao Liande coming, he took a few steps forward, bowed slightly, and said in greeting: "Eunuch Hao Liande, you are here."

The sound is like a nightingale, like the sound of nature.

Hao Liande hurriedly returned the courtesy and said, "It turns out to be the third young lady."

"My father is already awake, please come inside." Wang Jixian led the way, with Hao Liande and Wang Jixin following behind.

Crossing the threshold, I walked into Wang Shouyi's bedroom. The bedroom was very simple. People who made a living at sea did not have the habits of those educated people. They hung some famous calligraphy and paintings, antique porcelain, and pretended to be very cultured and cultivated.

There are a few chairs and a square tea table, of course you can eat on it, and there are a few bouquets of flowers standing next to it.

Seeing Hao Liande, with Wang Jixian's support, Wang Shouyi sat up and said with a smile: "Mr. Hao Lian, please sit down quickly, please sit down quickly, and I will serve tea."

The old man's hair has turned gray, his figure is thin, and his face is a little pale due to illness.

Wang Jixin poured a cup of tea and placed it next to Hao Liande, saying, "Please drink tea."

"Thank you, Second Young Master." Hao Liande took the teacup, took a sip and couldn't help but praise: "Well, the white bud Qilan from Fujian, good tea, good tea, the Lord has good taste."

"Haha, the old man is getting old. He can't drink wine anymore. He can only drink some tea." Wang Shouyi smiled heartily, but inevitably felt a little bitter in his heart.

"What, the Duke of the State is wrong in his words. The Duke of the State will continue to grow stronger, and the Ming Empire will never be able to live without you."

Hao Liande put down the tea cup and looked at Wang Shouyi, his heart filled with sadness. Hao Liande remembered clearly that that night, Wang Shouyi broke into the capital of Shun Dynasty, and he almost died in the hands of the rebels. Fortunately, Wang Shouyi

After seeing him, he took him in, and later recommended him to Zhu Xiluo. It can be said that because of Wang Shouyi, Hao Liande only had such a status for a few days. However, because the emperor is suspicious today, Hao Liande cannot have an affair with Min Guogong.

Contacts below. After explaining things about the Holy Emperor, I chatted with Wang Shouyi for a few words, left my things, and left the Duke's Mansion. I didn't care about the white cat and black dog coming back next time, and drove back to meet Zhu Xiluo.
