In fact, the interim eunuch system formulated by Wang Dehua and Han Zanzhou is indeed pretty good, and it is only limited to internal affairs of the palace and does not interfere with the government and finances. Therefore, even if you get the cabinet or the Senate to discuss it, you can pass through such a large palace, which requires enough personnel to manage and expand about a thousand eunuchs.

In the Ming Dynasty, the source of eunuchs was mainly two channels. One was to choose from prisoners and criminals, and then go to the palace to serve as a job after being purged. The other was to register by yourself, completely letting you go to the palace to do your own thing.

However, most eunuchs entered the palace through the latter channel. Because in the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs were still a promising profession, eating imperial grain, high wages, formal establishment, pension security and promotion opportunities, and various benefits. Even wives could be married. It can be said that except for the inability to pass on the family line, there is everything. Of course, if you make a fortune in the palace, you can adopt one from your nephew to support your elderly care and see them off. Therefore, some people who live in poverty and are unable to maintain will voluntarily sign up for the palace, or send a boy from your family to the palace to clean up. At least they can get a family life without worries. Of course, there are some other reasons, and they are desperate, so they have to go into the palace to become a eunuch. The most famous nine thousand-year-old eunuch Wei signed up to be a glorious member of the eunuch.

By this time, the eunuch system had existed in China for thousands of years, and these situations were present throughout the dynasties. The ministers' demands for the emperor were strictly prohibited from letting eunuchs interfere in the government affairs. However, there were not many objections to the eunuch system itself. No one would suggest to the court that the eunuch system was completely abolished, including the current Nanjing government. Everyone thought that it was natural to have eunuchs existed. After Shang Yi became emperor, it was completely reasonable to use eunuchs to manage things in the palace.

But there is only Shang Yi. Shang Yi had already thought about this a long time ago. Once he became emperor, the first thing he had to do was to abolish the eunuch system, which is one of them not only did not use eunuchs, but also his descendants were prohibited from using eunuchs.

Shang Yi did not have any preference for eunuchs himself, and the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were not all bad people. A considerable number of eunuchs did good things. For example, Zheng He, the world-recognized navigator, but the eunuch system was definitely a backward, ignorant and cruel system, which shows that the Chinese emperor was afraid of cuckolding himself, and achieved effective control of the harem by harming others' bodies. However, in Shang Yi's view, if there is no capital to be a stallion, don't find so many women.

Therefore, Shang Yi did not read the eunuch system written by Wang Dehua and Han Zan and Zhou Jingxin, and directly tore it. At the same time, he recruited members of the cabinet and formally told them that the eunuch system would be completely abolished from then on. The existing eunuchs remained in the palace for service until they died of old age, but they were never allowed to recruit or introduce eunuchs. After these eunuchs died of old age, the eunuch system would be completely over.

In the future, the management and work of the palace will be established to pay responsibilities, and all normal people will be normal and the official staff will be established. Of course, the system of the government of the palace will be gradually formulated. Now, all the personnel of the palace will be brought into the palace first, and they will still pay their responsibilities, but they will all be promoted to the next level.

Although Shang Yi's daily life is not luxurious, his status and status are different after all, and he is also a big family and a big family. There are 300 people in the palace. There are five levels of managers, including managers, managers, deacons, and officials. There are more than 50 people in total. In addition, each wife and concubine has more than a dozen family members to serve, both men and women, and they are young and old. This is just a servant in the palace. Not a guard. Of course, as for Shang Yi's status, it is also the lowest standard.

Therefore, bringing all the staff of the royal palace into the palace can enrich the loyalty of the people in the palace, and secondly, they are all acquaintances, so they can be easily aroused. Because they are the servants of the wives and concubines, most of them have followed them for several years and are used to each other's time.

Of course, even if all the people in the palace were brought into the palace, compared with the palace, the land was still vast and sparsely populated, and the empty space was still large and large. Shang Yi ordered that the empty palaces and locations be temporarily closed, and when the number of people in the palace increased, they would gradually open up. The guards in the palace were like the palace, and they would draw families from the Chinese army to become monks, and they would be qualified in politics. They formed a guard army to protect the safety of the palace.

However, after listening to Shang Yi's decision, several cabinet members were very shocked because no one expected this.

Although Shang Yi did not appoint eunuchs after he became king, Shang Yi Bi Jing had not officially become emperor at that time. Everyone thought this was just a gesture made by Shang Yi under the circumstances at that time, saying that he did not have the ambition to be emperor, or he would not reuse eunuchs, or he still maintained an attitude of being close to officials and subjects. In short, no one would guess that after Shang Yi became emperor, the eunuch system would be completely abolished. However, after being shocked, everyone felt sincere respect for Shang Yi. Bi Jing was the best way to completely cut off eunuchs' interference in politics. At the same time, some people also believed that this alone was enough to pass all the sages and emperors of all generations.

Of course, now we are just having a commotion with a few cabinet members, officially announce it to the world, and completely abolish the eunuch system. We still have to wait until Shang Yi becomes emperor before it can be published in the form of a formal document of the country.

In addition to the eunuch system, another important issue to be solved before becoming emperor is the country name and year name.

In fact, many officials have made some suggestions about the country name, and some people suggest that "Xia" be the country name. Although this is a country name that has been used before, it is nothing. In the past, the Jin Dynasty, the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty used the country name before. Because "Huaxia" is the ancient name of China, and the Xia Dynasty is also the first dynasty recorded in Chinese history, it is also appropriate to use "Xia" as the country name.

Of course, most people still tend to use a country name. The suggested characters include "rui", "an", "hua", etc., as well as "tai" and "de". Some people even suggested that since China is a country above the heavens, it is better to use "tian" as the country name. The emperor can be called the emperor. It makes Shang Yi look black, which leads to the number of years. Even "Kangxi" and "Qianlong" and other things come out, which scares Shang Yi into a cold sweat. Is it difficult for these officials to have time-travel colleagues?

However, officials who have been with Shang Yi for a long time know that Shang Yi likes the word "China". In all official documents, the word "China" is used to refer to China, and even the name of the army uses this word. Although Shang Yi intends to downplay the concept of the Ming Dynasty, it also shows that Shang Yi prefers this word, because there are Chinese words that can be found in Chinese, and there are many other words that refer to China. Therefore, the dynasty's numerals are likely to be the two words "China".

Although according to traditional concepts, the country's name is the same character, because of the Chinese tradition, the fewer words used in respect, the better. The one-character king is more noble than the two-character king. Of course, after death, the more words used, the better, the ministers all know Shang Yi's character. They are definitely not a person who likes to respect traditions, and have done a lot of things that go against tradition, such as the eunuch system that just abolished, and earlier, natural disciplines were added to the imperial examination system, etc. Of course, Shang Yi's changes to these traditions were all considered to be on the positive side, not doing anything wrong.

The country name is just one or two, which is not a big problem. There is no need to be petty about it. To put it to the extreme, this country belongs to Shang Yi. Therefore, the name of the country is not Shang Yi, just like naming his own son. Even if it is called Amao and Agou, it is also a family matter, and others have no choice but to interrupt.

Sure enough, after reading a lot of national names proposed by the ministers, Shang Yi threw them aside and officially designated the national name as "China", the full name of the Chinese Empire, and abbreviated as China. At the same time, Shang Yi also set the year name, and the first year name of the dynasty was called "Hong Xian".

In fact, after Shang Yi decided on the national name, he was also very excited. Isn’t the Chinese Empire the same as the one used by Yuan Datou to restore the country? However, if you want to use China as the national name, you can only call it that way. The words "people" and "republic" cannot be added now. However, since you have registered the national name used by Lao Yuan first, Shang Yi simply did not do it, and even snatched his year name. Anyway, Lao Yuan will have to wait until more than 200 years later. Of course, in this time and space, it is still hard to say whether there will be Lao Yuan.

However, the year name "Hong Xian" is indeed very appropriate. In another time and space, Yuan Datou set this year name and did mean "promoting the Constitution", saying that although he became an emperor, he would not follow the path of passing on the system, but advocated constitutional system. Of course, no one knew whether Lao Yuan really thought this way, but the year name "Hong Xian" was very consistent with Shang Yi's concept of founding the country. Shang Yi was originally planning to adopt a constitutional monarchy state system.

The concept of constitutional governance is now understood by the cabinet ministers, so they all think that the year name is very appropriate. Of course, there is also the meaning of Shang Yi's name.

Of course, the year and country names are only confirmed. They can only be used formally when Shang Yi holds the ceremony of imperial proclaiming. But this does not mean that the matter is over. You can wait to start to become emperor. In fact, what really makes Shang Yi headache is still behind, that is, the establishment of the Taimiao and the pursuit of ancestors.
