The palace affairs of the Ming Dynasty were not easy to deal with.
There are too many twists and turns in it! For example, things like eunuchs and palace maids having sex with each other. Some palace maids are forced to do so, and some want to find someone to rely on. Of course, there are also some who get along with each other and develop true feelings.
Then you say that you want to release the palace maids from the palace in one fell swoop. Let's not talk about how they live in the current situation outside. They are only involved with the eunuchs. This matter will be difficult to handle.
Lin Yutong took Zhang Gongling all the way to the palace, and they chose the Jiaotai Palace. She asked Zhang Gongling, "How much do you think the palace maids would like to be released from the palace?"
Zhang Gongling had a forced smile on his face, "It was probably because of the hard times that he entered the palace in order to have a full meal. In the palace, when you can't leave the palace, you will inevitably feel resentful. Eat a full meal.
Now that they are gone, they want more, and people’s hearts are dissatisfied. That’s not the case. But if we really want to let them out of the palace, I’m afraid... I’m scared and at a loss for a while.”
Lin Yutong said ‘hmm’ and said nothing more.
Zhang Gongling carefully looked at Lin Yutong's expression, and then said: "I know that as the old and new dynasties change, it is necessary to let people out of the palace to show favor. If you are over twenty-five years old, you can still find a man to marry after you go out. But if
When you are over thirty, it is a bit difficult to get married again. If you are over forty, there is no hope of getting married and your physical strength is hard to support. If you go out, you will just find a nunnery and find a female concubine to live in. "
Lin Yutong stood up and looked at Zhang Gongling, "The expenses in the palace are too great! From now on, the survival of the royal family will have to be solved by itself without using any money from the people. Do you know what this means?"
Zhang Gongling was a little confused for a moment: "Then how does the royal family... live?"
"This is what I will try to solve in the future." Lin Yutong continued to walk forward, "The royal family cannot afford such a large number of personnel. But you are right, releasing people is a benevolent policy. If they are pushed out by force,
This is resentment, not kindness." As she said this, she turned to look at Zhang Gongling, "Now, there is a way to get the best of both worlds, and Zhang Gongling has to handle this matter."
Yes! You said.
"Do you think it's feasible if the palace maids are allowed to be treated like courtiers, receiving salary and subsidy money, and then being released from the palace?"
Zhang Gongling was stunned, "Like a court official?"
Well! Like a courtier, "I'll give you grades."
Please tell me clearly what you plan to do?
"The staff must be streamlined, and all the affairs in the palace can be ensured to run smoothly. The rest of the people must be able to distinguish medicinal materials, and be able to prepare medicines and brew them. If they cannot, hire someone to teach them. After they have completed their studies, they will be assessed. After the assessment,
I will arrange where to go."
Zhang Gongling understood that one of the things mentioned before about the placement of disabled soldiers was comprehensive decoction and medicine.
Lin Yutong nodded, "Yes! After the assessment of the streamlined personnel, they will all be added to the Huimin Department. The Huimin Department belongs to the imperial government and serves in the Huimin Department. It is an official of the imperial court. Because the Huimin Department has the responsibility of supporting women and children, it is equipped with female officials.
Officer, this is reasonable and reasonable. If the palace maids are willing, after completing their studies, they can be given priority to return to the Huimin Office in their hometown according to their household registration. All treatment will be the same as that of court officials. Marriage and childbirth will not affect the future of their children.
If you want to take the imperial examination, you must come from an official family and have a clean background. If you want your children to inherit the duties of their parents, they can do it as long as they pass the imperial examination."
Zhang Gongling was a little moved, this was a grace he had never experienced before. She was about to kneel down, but Lin Yutong held her up, "I also know that there are many people who have true feelings between the palace maids and the eunuchs. If there is love,
If it’s true, I still want to live together in the future, then the eunuch can also learn medical skills and arrange to join the Huimin Office. The treatment will be the same!"
But unless she is too old to get married and have children after leaving the palace, which palace maid would still be willing to live with a eunuch after hearing such conditions? Even if she thinks she is willing now, what if she leaves the palace? In the palace
The inner prison is heaven, and everyone has to fawn over it. But what happens outside the palace? Most people still look down on the inner prison. If a man can’t stand up, women will naturally look down on him. This is a very real problem.
But the grace has been given by the above, and it is up to them to choose what to do next.
Zhang Gongling solemnly accepted the order, "I will do it now."
Lin Yutong patted her hand and said, "The female officers of the Huimin Department always have to be managed by someone. The female officers in the palace will have full-time jobs in the future. In the future, there will no longer be female officers in the harem, only men and women will be in charge. To be an official, you must have
Leave the palace." Understood.
"But before that, please ask Zhang Gongling to pick out the people of Concubine Zheng, the people of Li Xuanshi, and the people who follow the Wei Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian, and the Hakka family. The people gathered together, and then selected one and sent one in, trying not to miss anything.
Who did you lose? After all, there will be a long learning period after that. It would be bad if I was singled out."
Understand! If you have given enough kindness, if you don't know what you want, things will not be done like this. Besides, if some people with ulterior motives are mixed in, it will mean trouble in the future. She is not willing to take such a risk.
Lin Yutong went to wait in the main hall. Those eunuchs were all living as adults. It would be too troublesome to attack them directly.
But what? Women are different.
Today's palace maids and female officials, it is common for them to look at the eunuch's face. If the eunuch falls in love with any palace maid, they will not be able to resist. This has led to the fact that almost 80% of the palace maids are inextricably linked to the eunuchs, and women are very
Easy to open the gap.
Sitting inside, it was not time for a cup of tea, and someone was brought in first. This person was dressed more decently than the others, and he was also taller than the others. The pendants on his ears were made of precious stones, and he had four or five rings on his hands.
, the gold bracelet on the wrist is so thick, looming.
This girl lived the life of a wealthy wife in the palace. I am afraid that many masters in the palace did not live as well as her.
"Tell me!" Lin Yutong was holding a cup of tea, and Liang Shangyi beside him was waiting to take notes with a pen in his hand.
The girl knelt on the ground and looked up carefully, then immediately lowered her head again, "This slave has received two thousand taels of silver from Wei Zhongxian..."
Two thousand taels of silver? Good guy! The Lin family spent dozens of taels to buy a small courtyard, and they had to sell 20 acres of land to afford it. This girl in front of them earns two thousand taels of silver. Where did Wei Zhongxian get the money?
Zhu Youxiao was only an emperor for a day, so he didn't have too much corruption, but looking at his skills, he had a very deep way of making money!
Hmm! Very good! Anyone involved with Wei Zhongxian can be brought in for liquidation. This all involves murdering the late emperor!
If such a large amount of money was handed over to Wei Zhongxian, it must be someone from outside the palace. People outside the palace bribed Wei Zhongxian, and they were only investing in the future! Those who can make such a large sum of money are probably related to businessmen.
Lin Yutong sneered, "Just accept it? Isn't that enough? How much did you contribute to the murder of the late emperor..."
Unjustly accused!
When she was involved in a fatal matter, she was very clean. Why did she follow the big eunuch? What did the big eunuch usually do? Who are his disciples and grandsons? How much money did he receive from whom? How much money did he give to whom?
Whoever has done something and harmed so and so will be called clean if they are left behind.
Okay! Gagged her first and locked her up in the back. After the interrogation, we’ll deal with it together. The second person who was brought in looked pitiful. He knelt on the ground and trembled uncontrollably. He raised his head without asking and pulled out his sleeves.
When he lifted it up, it was covered with bruises and said, "Mother, I don't want to leave the palace, I'm afraid. I'm Bai Gaosheng, that old and immortal farmer, but I didn't do it voluntarily! He asked someone to tie me up and put a gag in my mouth.
Bu Neng came into her house... He fucked the slaves... Many of them died before, some were hanged, some were thrown into wells... If they weren't all gathered together today, all the slaves would swallow a piece of gold...
...Forget it if I die..." She said through gritted teeth, and she had to dig into the old foundation of this man named Bai Gaosheng. Who was involved with anyone outside the palace? They secretly deducted a percentage of the tax money collected and handed it over to some trading house for profit.
Which bank exists, who handles these things, she has all told.
Lin Yutong waved his hand and told people to go down. Suddenly he felt that the eunuch's treatment was different from Gong'e's.
It is absolutely impossible not to kill a group of eunuchs.
She put down the teacup and said, "Next."
The next person who came in was a plain woman, in her thirties or forties, who was not afraid. After she was greeted, she looked at Lin Yutong and said, "Princess, I know Doctor Liu."
Um?
The woman did not get up, but said in a calm tone: "The master of this slave is Liu Baixing, the steward of the medicine storehouse. The stewards in various palaces all have some friendship with the master of my house. I admit that we are collecting money. But if we don't collect money, it will be fine."
We are aliens. But the slave assures us that we have never harmed anyone. The head of the household didn’t know about Prince Jian’s medicine at that time. When he found out later, he carefully stored the dregs of the medicine. Later, he prescribed the right medicine for Prince Jian.
Someone specially went to deliver it."
Well! The dregs of the medicine are indeed there. No matter what the other person's thoughts were at the time, at least he was a smart person. At least he would not get into trouble. He can do anything and cannot get involved in anything.
Her expression softened a little, "Get up, name someone you trust, and then call Cui Shangyi, open another room, and help with the trial!"
yes!
Having several groups of people review the case at the same time will make the process much faster.
One after another, Liang Shangyi broke into cold sweat as she listened. She didn't know there was so much filth hidden in the palace. Some of the big eunuchs here were so bold that they wanted to humiliate the young princess, and some even asked people to hand over money to the old prince's concubines.
, wanted to have sex with the concubines. Others fell in love with the little palace maid, but they were not happy and forced them to jump into the well. Some took Concubine Zheng’s money to beat up Concubine Wang Gong, and some gave it to Concubine Wang Gong in order to curry favor with Concubine Zheng.
There were those who added sand to their meals. Some flattered Li Xuanshi, scolded Sang and Huai, bullied Wang Cairen. There were even those who did not know life and death, and manipulated the medicine to kill King Jian.
She didn't know how many other people in other palaces had found out. Anyway, what she found here was shocking. If she didn't dig them out one by one, she almost forgot that the palace was actually a cannibal.
Even if the master doesn't cannibalize people, the managers at this level are also cannibals! These people exploit the people below, much more ruthlessly than the master.
Two days and two nights, taking turns to sleep for a while, and with several groups of people trying the case at the same time, the trial was barely completed.
How many people are involved in this? More than 2,100 named eunuchs are involved.
Take action against the list!
I sealed the inner palace and the residences of the eunuchs outside the palace. Whether it was the dormitories where they lived together or the private residences of the eunuchs, they were all sealed by me. It was only the Jin Yiwei who could do this.
Why can't we ask Dongchang to handle this matter? Dongchang has a deep relationship with the eunuchs in the palace. Although not all the eunuchs in Dongchang are eunuchs, the proportion of eunuchs is still very large, and most of them are in the deep palace. This is
There are so many branches and branches that there is no guarantee that the news will not be leaked.
Liu Qiao secretly told Wang Baihu, "Be smart with your people. Copy more...don't be greedy in private! If you copy, our future will be behind you. Don't lose the master's face for this little money."
Understand! To copy more means to touch everything that can be copied or not. The money of these people in the palace is not very innocent.
He said uneasily, "Yingtian's side also moved?"
Don't worry about this. You've already been keeping an eye on these bastards! If we don't clean up the bottom this time, we won't be finished.
Lin Yutong didn't know how lively the commotion outside was. She knew that as soon as the big eunuch was pinned down, she raised her knife and chopped two of them on the spot. After that, the tree fell and the macaques dispersed. These big eunuchs were living in the palace.
He is like an old man. He has a dedicated waiter, a wife, and a godson and grandson. He is served by dozens of people. Where he lives, there are dedicated cooks to serve him three meals a day. He has several cooks per person.
, there are all kinds of tastes. These little eunuchs who cling to the big eunuch are ruthlessly digging out the big eunuch's background in order to escape guilt. There is only one big eunuch named Liu Jin, not counting his house outside the palace.
, the furnishings in the house, the land deed in hand, and only the residence in the palace, they found more than 1,800 taels of gold, more than 5,700 taels of silver, and various pearls and jade jewelry ornaments, all of which were discounted to 10,000 taels.
Above silver.
Lin Yutong's hands raked over the coins, and then she looked at more and more coins that were found. She really didn't know what to say! He was just a eunuch, where did his money come from? He was definitely taking bribes.
Yes, but most of them were definitely not bribed. They must have come from the emperor’s private treasury!
After the collection was completed, Lin Yutong felt very dreamy when he went back, feeling that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty probably didn't know how to count.
As a result, she looked at the account book in the fourth master's hand, and she was even more convinced that they just didn't know how to count. The emperor's inner treasury was indeed rich in storage, but everything in it was retained by various ministries. For example, yellow and white wax came in and out.
, at a discount, the good goods were of lower quality and were paid to the emperor. This was tantamount to the Ministry of Revenue blatantly taking away more than one-third from the Emperor's hands. The Ministry of Revenue withheld it like this, as if it had entered the household.
There is nothing wrong with the ministry's account. The world's money is used by everyone. But the problem is that the Ministry of Industry also withholds it! What kind of miscellaneous silver? There is a mess of miscellaneous silver. The accounts only include the year of the 43rd year of Wanli, and the Ministry of Industry
Nine hundred thousand taels of silver were withheld from the royal treasury. May I ask, where did this silver go? Who spent it?
If it weren't for the eunuchs in the palace and those in charge of the storehouse, who joined forces with these ministers, this would be a hell!
The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs only take away more than one million taels from the internal treasury every year, just like they are doing it for fun. This amount accounts for half of Liao's salary!
The emperor who was sitting on it was really trying to make money, raising taxes and taxes from the private sector, but all the extra money he made was secretly taken away, making him feel lonely!
Lin Yutong felt that maybe the Zhu family's genes were missing the arithmetic string! Really! It's like a bear breaking a stick. He was so busy and worked so hard, but in the end he didn't get anything. You said you worry about people but don't worry about others?!
