There were Taoist temples, Nanchuan Buddhist temples and Lamaist temples in the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty. The Lamaist temple was called Fanjingchang. Since Yongle, there have been famous lamas living there who wrote Buddhist scriptures in Mongolian, Tibetan and Sanskrit and sent the written scriptures to the temple.
After the death of Zhu Youji, the grandson of the third emperor, the Taoist priests, monks and lamas in the imperial city performed rituals for the grandson of the third emperor in their own way.
After dinner on August 14, Ke Yinyue asked Wei Chao to accompany her to the Fanjing Factory to watch the lamas perform rituals. The Fanjing Factory was located on the east side of Long live Mountain, close to the Yuhe River, adjacent to the Siyuan Bureau and the Bell and Drum Division, from Ciqing Palace.
It's six or seven miles from here to the Fanjing Factory. Wei Chao and Ke Yinyue arrived at the Fanjing Factory. It was already dark, but they saw the butter candles in the Fanjing Factory shining like daylight, but they heard the sound of chanting sutras.
"Buzzing" is like a swarm of flies flying in summer——.
After nearly thirty years in the palace, Wei Chao came to the Fan Sutra Factory for the first time. Suddenly he saw the sight of lamas performing rituals. Wei Chao was shocked. Those lamas who were chanting Fan Sutras and dancing in the sand on the altar looked strange.
That's all. The disguises of the demons hanging on the walls are even more terrifying. They all have red hair and blue faces, and are extremely ugly. Some demons are wearing necklaces and have skulls on their necks. Some are carrying babies in their mouths and have snakes and pythons wrapped around their waists. Some are sitting on top of monsters.
Holding a halberd in his hand, the sight of it makes people feel terrified. The Wei Dynasty was frightened and could not stay any longer, but Ke Yinyue knelt aside and prayed silently with a pious look——
The Wei Dynasty knew that the lamas' religious rituals were lengthy and could not be completed in an hour and a half, so they said to their guest Yinyue: "I will go to the Royal Horse Prison first and pick you up later."
Ke Yinyue nodded, and Wei Chao left in a hurry.
At the end of Xu and the beginning of Haihai, after the ritual ceremony was over, Ke Yinyue walked out of Fanjing Factory and waited in front of the door for a while. She didn't see Wei Chao coming to pick her up. She knew that Wei Chao was greedy and must have gone somewhere to drink. When she saw the circle in the sky
When the moon was bright, he walked alone through the alley east of Duzhi Prison and walked south. When he passed Yinshou Prison and was about to go around the North Flower Room, two young chamberlains suddenly jumped out of the darkness and said with a smile: "Duren,
Where are you going?" In the Ming Palace, the palace maid is called Duren, but Ke Yinyue is not a palace maid. But her dress is the same as that of a palace maid. Although she is nearly thirty years old, her complexion is as white as snow, her body is tall and tight, and she looks like only two
Ten years old.
Ke Yinyue took a look at the two young chamberlains. One was a handkerchief and the other was an ebony card. Both the handkerchief and the ebony card were the rank positions of the chamberlains of the Ming Palace. They were considered to have regular errands and were better than the lowest-level little firemen. Ke Yinyue
Yinyue replied: "Go back to Ciqing Palace." She wanted to bypass the two of them and continue on her way. It was getting late, and she didn't know if she had fallen asleep.
The two young chamberlains jumped left and right, blocking Ke Yinyue's way. The ebony sign on the left said with a playful smile: "We are all people, do you have a good food lover? If not, what about the two of us?"
Ke Yinyue once heard that there were some rogue chamberlains in the palace who would force the maids to work as waiters. They were called white prodigals. It was funny to think about it. Eunuchs also have prodigal sons. It was late at night, and Ke Yinyue didn't want to cause trouble, so she said: "Bao Chao
The young eunuch Wei of the Wei Dynasty of our company is my rival, so the two young men-in-law should find another maid, and don't bother me."
Handkerchief and Ebony Card looked at each other and winked at each other. Handkerchief said: "Wei Dynasty, Young Inspector Wei, I have never heard of it."
The ebony card said: "Then Young Inspector Wei must be an old man. Where are the two of us young and handsome? Why don't you follow me over there to play." Before he finished speaking, he came over with the towel and wanted to pull the guest Yinyue.
Ke Yinyue was angry and funny. She took two steps back and shouted, "What do you want to do? Get out of the way. I want to go back to the palace."
If you are a high-status person, there will always be someone accompanying you when you walk late at night. Ke Yinyue is just walking alone, so he must be of low status. He said that he was a young eunuch of the Baochao Division, and he was probably bragging. He said with a handkerchief: "Playing again."
It doesn't matter, I'll let you go after playing for a while." He reached out and grabbed guest Yinyue's arm.
There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the left side of the handkerchief was burning. He received a heavy slap in the face, which made him dizzy. He covered his face with one hand and pointed angrily at Ke Yinyue: "How dare you hit someone!"
Ke Yinyue put her hands on her hips and laughed and scolded: "Why are you playing with me? Are you two not completely castrated and want to do it again?"
The handkerchief and the ebony card were angry. They were all from the palace. Everyone knew that playing with their mouths and hands was just for fun. Now Ke Yinyue deliberately ridiculed them for being castrated and not being men. How could they bear this kind of humiliation?
The self-esteem of the officials is sometimes extremely strong. He said angrily: "If you don't play with us, how can you, a bitch, serve the Long Live Lord and the Thousand Year Old Lord!" He shook his head and said, "This bitch is good at taking action.
Serious, my left ear seems to have been deafened, there is a buzzing——"
The ebony sign said fiercely: "Xiao Yin, let's drag her to the stone pavilion of the flower house, tie her up and play with her until she is half dead." The two of them stretched out their hands, bared their teeth and claws and forced towards the guest Yinyue.
Ke Yinyue had a sneer at the corner of her mouth. She was proficient in bow and horse and agile. These two short-figured servants really didn't pay attention to her. She was tall and long-armed. She gave two "slaps" and two slaps in the face.
The two chamberlains were confused, so they ran away to the north gate. Before they could run ten feet away, at the corner of the Beihuafang, they saw seven or eight people blocking the way, carrying lanterns.
I was startled and stopped when I heard someone shouting and asking: "Who is making a noise?"
Guest Yinyue stared at the group of eunuchs. One of them had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, but he was wearing the attire of the leader eunuch. He said with great blessing: "My father-in-law, there were two young eunuchs who wanted to bully the little lady. They are over there."
Pointing back,
The two young chamberlains were not willing to give up after being slapped in the face. They were chasing after them. When they saw that they could not avoid it, they also came over and bowed to the leader eunuch. They called him "Eunuch Qiu" and argued: "The younger two saw it."
These people were walking in the middle of the night, and they came up to ask me with good intentions, but they didn't know what was good and they beat me two."
The leader of the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked eunuch is Qiu Chengyun, the eunuch in charge of the seal. These two white prodigal servants are the servants of Qiu Chengyun, the eunuch of the seal. Although Qiu Chengyun is a eunuch, he has a perverted lust for women.
, it is said that beauties are particularly beautiful when viewed under the lamp and the moon. At this moment, Ke Yinyue is particularly attractive. Her skin is white and greasy, her eyebrows are picturesque, she is slightly out of breath, her breasts are rising and falling under the palace skirt, her skin is white and her breasts are big and tall.
This is exactly what Qiu Chengyun likes the most——
Qiu Chengyun waved the handkerchief and the ebony sign in front of him. He suddenly opened his bows from left to right, gave the two of them a few mouths, and cursed: "You two are so dirty, you must want to tease someone when you see them alone, why don't you hurry up?"
Accompany the guilt!"
The two young chamberlains were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed to Qiu Chengyun. Qiu Chengyun kicked one of them over, pointed at the guest Yinyue and said: "Hurry up and apologize to that Duren sister."
The two chamberlains crawled in front of Ke Yinyue, kowtowed repeatedly, and screamed: "The little one deserves to die, the little one deserves to die. Please spare the little one this time."
The great eunuch is so majestic. The hierarchy in the palace is stricter than that of the officialdom. It is said that the first level of officialdom is overwhelming, but the officials and gentry are all scholars. They know how to save their dignity and like to play tricks of killing people without blood. They are not like the eunuchs.
Outright snobbish, the eunuchs were rather stubborn in doing things and often acted according to their temper. In order to show off his prestige in front of guest Yinyue, Qiu Chengyun tried his best to offend these two eunuchs——
Ke Yinyue avoided the kneeling of the two chamberlains and said to Qiu Chengyun, "Thank you very much, Eunuch Qiu, for making the decision for the young woman. The young woman will go back to Ciqing Palace now. Tomorrow, I will ask my husband Wei Chao to come and pay homage to Eunuch Qiu."
Thank you in person."
When meeting both parties, if the eunuch is a high-status eunuch, he or she will call him "husband", and a high-status eunuch will respectfully call him "old lady", which is somewhat similar to the folk names for husband and wife.
Qiu Chengyun recognized the Wei Dynasty of Baochao Division, but had no friendship with him. Qiu Chengyun always looked upward. He only flattered and flattered the Secretary of Ceremonies and the Royal Horse Commission. Those powerful eunuchs who were lower in rank than him,
The internal officials who were less powerful than him always looked down upon him and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are Xiao Wei's servant. Xiao Wei is very lucky. The Yin Shou prison of the Za family is on the right. The Za family invites you to sit in the prison for a while.
, how about a glass of sweet wine to calm your nerves?"
The officials and officials around Qiu Chengyun all said: "Eunuch Qiu is the most righteous man. As a native of the capital, if you hadn't met Eunuch Qiu today, you would have suffered. These two white prodigal sons are the most righteous."
It will torture people..."
Ke Yinyue had heard that Qiu Chengyun in Yinshou Prison was very sexually abusive and kept more than ten concubines in his outer house. Every time Qiu Chengyun interacted with his concubines, he would scratch and bite him all over his body and use his horns to make gestures, all night long.
Tired, Concubine Ji was on duty for a night and had to be sick for several days. At this time, Qiu Chengyun, a guest with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, looked like he was smiling but not smiling. How could he follow Qiu Chengyun into Yinshou Prison and politely said: "
The little woman is the nurse of the emperor's eldest son, and she has to rush back to wait on her brother to sleep. Let the Wei Dynasty come tomorrow to express his gratitude to the father-in-law."
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Qiu Chengyun celebrated in advance and drank a lot of wine at dinner. At this time, he was in high spirits. When he saw the guest Yinyue's beautiful appearance, he was willing to put it aside and said: "My brother is old and doesn't breastfeed, so why do we need a nurse?"
, after my brother gets married, you, the wet nurse, will be sent out of the palace, why not make more capable brothers now, so that you can have some help in the future."
The so-called "brothers" in the palace refer to each other, and they are called brothers instead of husband and wife, which has a bit of a homosexual flavor. In Fujian, those who are good at masculinity are called brothers.
Ke Yinyue has been in the palace for more than ten years, and this is the first time he has encountered this kind of thing. He smiled and said, "The young woman has already prepared a meal. Thank you Eunuch Qiu for your kindness. I don't dare to accept it."
Qiu Chengyun looked at Ke Yinyue's tall and beautiful appearance, and his heart was unbearable. He wanted to ravage this beautiful woman vigorously, and he whispered under the influence of wine: "Give the Zajia a face, you and the Zajia have dinner together, the Zajia has fine clothes and fine food."
How about you enjoy it?" Then he said: "How can a young prisoner in the Wei Dynasty compare with the Zajia family? Not to mention other things, it would be wrong to let you walk alone at night. You almost got into trouble, right?"
Ke Yinyue said with a smile: "The young lady is in Ciqing Palace, and Eunuch Qiu is in Yinshou Prison. How can we eat together?"
Qiu Chengyun said: "It doesn't matter, the Za family has its own solution. You go in with the Za family for a few drinks first."
Ke Yinyue shook his head and said, "It's already very late. I have to rush back to the palace. The Wei Dynasty is drinking with others in the Royal Horse Prison. If Eunuch Qiu is interested, he can ask someone to come to him and explain it to him face to face."
Qiu Chengyun knew that the woman was using this as an excuse. The Wei Dynasty was a well-known official in the palace. How could he give up his job? Unless he transferred the Wei Dynasty to his Yin Shou Prison, which would be easier to do. He thought: "The woman is timid, and she will give in after being threatened." She immediately said with a straight face, "Why are you, a wet nurse, beating up the people in my Yin Shou Prison!"
Ke Yinyue didn't expect that Eunuch Qiu would fall out so quickly. She didn't bother to say anything and ran away with the agility of a mare. Qiu Chengyun and several of his servants were all stunned. They didn't expect that a wet nurse could run so fast. A senior officer asked: "Father, do you want to chase me?"
In front is the Beishang Gate, and a few dozen feet past the Beishang Gate is the Xuanwu Gate. Inside the Xuanwu Gate is the palace city. Since the attack on the gate in May, the palace gate has been heavily guarded. How could the eunuchs outside the palace city dare to break into the palace gate at night? , Qiu Chengyun said bitterly: "That's all, I'll settle the score with the wet nurse tomorrow."
It was true that the enemy's road was narrow. In the afternoon of the next day, because Zhu Youxiao, brother and sister went with his father Zhu Changluo to Qianqing Palace to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Emperor Wanli, Ke Yinyue was going to follow Zhong Benhua to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at Shicha's overseas residence. The governor met Qiu Chengyun again here!
Qiu Chengyun looked at his guests Yinyue and Zhong Benhua with his eyes open, and said in a strange voice: "Isn't this the servant of Xiao Wei from the Baochao Department? Why did he hook up with Eunuch Zhong?"
Zhong Benhua had just listened to Ke Yinyue's story about his encounter with Qiu Chengyun last night. When he saw Qiu Chengyun speaking in such a sinister manner, he said angrily: "Eunuch Qiu, the Bailangzi who blocked the road and harassed Grandma Ke last night is one of your men. Well, how do you restrain your subordinates!"
Unexpectedly, Qiu Chengyun exploded like a firecracker and shouted: "Zhong Benhua, you are so unreasonable. You, a rookie, injured two godsons of the Za family last night. The Za family did not argue with you for the sake of the festival. You know, the bad guy started filing a complaint first, so go and go to the internal prison to reason."
Generally, internal official disputes and litigation are handled by the internal official prison. Song Jin, the eunuch in charge of the internal official prison, has a good relationship with Qiu Chengyun, so Qiu Chengyun clamored to go to the internal official prison. Zhong Benhua ordered his godson Gao Qiqian to leave the palace until ten Leave your home abroad to avoid having no one to receive Zhang Yuan when he arrives——
…
After listening to what Gao Qiqian said, Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, "It's really strange that there are also cases of forced rape and forced labor among internal officials." He also said, "Qiu Chengyun is doing mining tax in Yunnan." When he was imprisoned, the local people were full of complaints. When passing by Shizhu Chieftain's territory, he failed to ask for bribes and framed Shizhu's Xuanfu envoy Ma Qiancheng for robbing the official's money. As a result, Ma Qiancheng died of resentment. When he returned to the palace, he was promoted to a eunuch with the official seal and ribbon! "
Gao Qiqian said: "Qiu Chengyun was very dissatisfied with my godfather because of what happened to Shizhu Chieftain back then. When we meet and talk, we always have thorns."
Ni Yuanlu, a concubine who was studying Buddhism recently, interjected: "The monk Han Shan of the Tang Dynasty had a question and answer with Shi De. Han Shan asked, 'The world slanders me, bullies me, insults me, laughs at me, underestimates me, hates me, and deceives me. So what? The answer? 'Just tolerate him, let him, let him, let him, be patient with him, respect him, and you can see him again in ten years.'"
Gao Qiqian was very smart and understood what Ni Yuanlu meant, and said: "Qiu Chengyun was very powerful ten years ago. Many people were bullied by Qiu Chengyun. Ten years later, Qiu Chengyun is still very powerful." Majestic, how do you say this?"
Ni Yuanlu laughed: "You little eunuch is a bit interesting. The ten years Shide mentioned refers to more than ten years. In decades, those who do evil will have their retribution."
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "If it takes a few decades, the evil person will also die. We don't know whether he will be relegated to the three evil realms in the next life. The present life is beautiful, and those who have been bullied will have no chance to turn over. The Buddha's advice and punishment have been completed
Empty words.”
Gao Qiqian nodded repeatedly and said, "Mr. Zhang is absolutely right. People like Qiu Chengyun should be punished immediately."
Zhang Yuandao said: "It is unlikely that there will be retribution immediately. There will definitely be retribution after a few years." He thought that it would only take three or four years. Eunuch Zhong should be patient for a while, and then there will be repayment of kindness and revenge of hatred.
Zhang Dai saw that the scenery in Qianhai area was good, and it would be even more impressive when the moon rose, so he said: "It should be good to enjoy the moon here. Since Eunuch Zhong is not here, let's go to the hotel and order wine and food ourselves, and enjoy the moon on this shore."
chat."
Gao Qiqian said hurriedly: "My godfather has already prepared wine and food to entertain you adults. I will lead you to the backyard. It is in the backyard, facing the front sea. It is best to watch the moon."
When we arrived at the backyard of Eunuch Zhong's outer house, we saw the fragrant osmanthus trees, hostas, and crabapples in full bloom. On the east bank of the Qianhai Sea, there was a row of rolling sheds with more than a dozen huanghuali wood dining tables. On both sides of the dining table were
The futon is decorated in the ancient style of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties. Exquisite wine, food, and seasonal fruits and vegetables were quickly placed. The cook was originally the royal cook in the palace, and he was very good at cooking. The cooked yellow sheep, goose, and anchovies are especially delicious. The wine is golden.
Stem dew and Taixi white, the tea is Jianning tribute tea, and more than ten maidservants are at your disposal at any time.
The setting sun is shining on the top of the mountain, and the sea in front reflects the golden light. The Buddhist temple on the other side is dignified. The sky is clear and clear, and the autumn wind is rustling. Most of the friends of the Han Society are from the south of the Yangtze River. It is their first time to enjoy the autumn of the northern country. They are all in high spirits, and they often recite poems and compose poems.
No, Shujishi has poetry writing homework, and he has to submit three poems every month.
Zhang Yuan, Wen Zhenmeng, Qian Shisheng, and Hong Chengchou drank tea and talked. They talked about Shen Que's memorial in the Di newspaper yesterday to expel the missionaries from the West. Wen Zhenmeng and others felt that Shen Que said that "privately changing the calendar will cause chaos."
"Taoist, deceive the people, and aspire to immigrate to the country" is an alarmist statement. Under the influence of Zhang Yuan, colleagues in the Han Society have a lot of contact with Western learning. They are also relatively young and are willing to accept new knowledge and new things. They do not want to think about what they want.
I am quite dissatisfied with the way it is used to treat others. Shen Que is a Buddhist. Don’t you know that Buddhism went through many disasters when it was introduced to the Central Plains. If everyone had the same attitude as Shen Que, then Buddhism would not have a foothold in the Ming Dynasty. Hanshe
Like Zhang Yuan, everyone did not attach importance to Catholicism, but to the knowledge, vision and a new atmosphere brought by the Jesus priests. This is also complementary to the theory of managing the world and applying it advocated by Donglin and Han Society——
Zhang Yuan circulated the pamphlets he wrote in defense of Western learning to friends. Wen Zhenmeng and Qian Shisheng immediately said that they would also write pamphlets to support Zhang Yuan. The Hanlin Academy originally had the power to consult and discuss government affairs. The Hanlin Academy was originally
As part of the cabinet, academicians can directly join the cabinet to assist the government. However, after the Hanlin Academy moved from the Wenhua Palace to the outside of the imperial city, this power has shrunk invisibly, so that now they only drink tea, read newspapers and act as peacemakers.
The so-called reputation -
Not only the Hanlin Academy has the power to participate in and discuss government affairs, but the Shujishi can also express opinions on the government affairs. The Shujishi, like the Hanlin, are the prime ministers. Speaking out the truth and benefiting the current affairs is exactly what an aspiring Shujishi should do.
Ni Yuanlu and Zhang Dai also said that they would write a letter to support Xu Guangqi. Zhang Yuan debated with Shen Que and others. If this debate can be held, its excitement will be no less than the famous debates in history such as "Salt and Iron Theory" and "Atheism".
At this time, Gao Qiqian came to report that his godfather, Eunuch Zhong, was here.
