Chu Yi, Yu Huatian, and Liu Jin raised their heads. Chu Yi once again saw the eunuch in charge, who easily killed the assassin in one move.
When talking about eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, many people first think of Dongchang. However, Dongchang is usually supervised by the eunuch who is the eunuch of the ceremonial department, so the eunuchs who are the eunuchs of the ceremonial department and the eunuch are generally the masters of the factory.
But this does not mean that there are no eunuchs in the inner court who can compete with them. The eunuch of the ceremonial department is in charge of approving the red seal and can be called the internal minister.
However, the opposite is the Yuma Supervisor. The Yuma Supervisor shares military power with the Ministry of War and the Governor. It is actually the inner court. The Yuma Supervisor and the Li Supervisor are almost equal in both civil and military affairs.
It existed for a short time in the Ming Dynasty, and even surpassed the Dongchang for a time. The famous West Factory was run by the Imperial Horse Supervisor, which was on par with the Dongchang which was the Superintendent of Ceremonies.
If Wang Yue, who was in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, was the number one eunuch in the palace, then Fan Heng, the chief eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor, was only weaker than Wang Yue.
Fan Heng was actually about fifty years old, but due to proper maintenance or practicing martial arts, he looked about forty. At this time, a pair of feminine eyes were looking at the three of them.
Under Fan Heng's gaze, even Chu Yi, who has been born in two generations, can't help but feel a little drumming in his heart. This person who can sit on the position of the Royal Horse Supervisor is obviously not an ordinary person. He dare not say that he has stepped on countless corpses, fearing that it is directly or indirectly.
There are definitely not a few people who died at his hands.
There is no such thing as human rights in this era. One action or one unspoken word can lead to the loss of one's life inexplicably.
"Yes, let me ask you, the three of you would like to be my disciples!"
Liu Jin, Yu Huatian, and Chu Yi couldn't help but froze for a moment when they heard the words. Wei An, who was on the side, couldn't help but look at the three of them with envy, and quickly said to the three of them: "You three are still here?"
What are you doing standing there in a daze? The chief manager is helping you and why don't you come forward to thank me!"
Liu Jin reacted the fastest. He knelt down in front of Fan Heng's seat and said, "Liu Jin pays homage to the chief manager, and I will fight to the death."
Chu Yi and Yu Huatian also reacted and quickly bowed down like Liu Jin.
Fan Heng nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's right, from now on you will be in my Royal Horse Prison!"
To say that the best places for new young eunuchs in the palace are the Li Jian and the Royal Horse Jian, but these two places are not accessible to anyone who wants to. That is to say, Liu Jin and the other three have fallen into Fan Heng's eyes.
Otherwise, if you are unlucky, you may not be able to enter the Royal Horse Prison for the rest of your life.
Being able to enter the Royal Horse Prison is definitely a great blessing for the three of them.
For Chu Yi, he didn't care about power or anything like that. What really concerned him was the method of cultivation.
Even though it was a glimpse before, the kung fu shown by both the young eunuch and Fan Heng was unforgettable to Chu Yi.
After entering the Royal Horse Prison, they were arranged by the chief eunuch. They thought they would be arranged to do odd jobs in the Royal Horse Prison, but unexpectedly they were arranged to study and learn to read.
Previously, they were cultivating together with the junior eunuchs. When they were waiting for assignment, the senior eunuch Wei An was responsible for teaching them how to read and write. Unexpectedly, after entering the Royal Horse Prison, the first thing they did was to read and write.
This has to be said to be a feature of the Ming Dynasty. Eunuchs have the power to control the seal, and the chief minister of rituals is called the internal minister. What is the internal minister? Naturally, he is a powerful figure who assists the emperor in governing the government together with the outer court cabinet ministers.
If you don't even know the words, you can't understand the memorials, so how can you help the emperor in governing the country?
Therefore, all young eunuchs who enter the palace will be arranged to learn Chinese characters. Specially selected young eunuchs like Chu Yi and Liu Jin will go a step further and will even be taught by bachelors from Wenyuan Pavilion in person.
I thought that after entering the Royal Horse Prison, I would hope to be exposed to the methods of martial arts practice, but I didn't expect that I would be forced to read and read. However, Chu Yi was very attentive.
He has been a human being for two generations, and he knows very well that all external things can be taken away by others, except knowledge. Besides, if he does not know how to read and write, even if a book of spiritual practice is thrown in front of him in the future,
I'm afraid I can only stare.
It can be seen that Fan Heng attaches great importance to these young eunuchs in the Royal Horse Prison, so much so that he invited two Wenyuan Pavilion bachelors to teach them. The wide range of topics covered even Chu Yi was amazed.
Astronomy, geography, art and even medicine, it is no wonder that many great eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were able to hold great power. Even if they assisted the emperor in governing the world, they had no problem guarding one side.
If you really couldn't read Chinese characters and couldn't write a single word with your pen, you probably wouldn't have become a very important faction in the Ming Dynasty.
Chu Yi found that he actually had the patience to learn it. After all, he has been a man for two generations. After he has truly established his temperament, learning these things is really nothing to Chu Yi.
In just half a year, Chu Yi stood out among a dozen young eunuchs. Even the two bachelors who taught them felt sorry for Chu Yi. They bluntly said that Chu Yi was a rare scholar. If he had not entered the palace and became a eunuch
If so, he will definitely be a Jinshi in the future.
In a medium-sized room, Chu Yi put down the brush in his hand and smiled bitterly at Liu Jin and Yu Huatian: "You don't have much talent in the art of numerology, but it's already good to have reached this level."
Hearing what Chu Yi said, Liu Jinjian smiled and said: "It depends on who we compare with. At least you are helping us two, so we are already much better than others."
When there are more people, there will be factions. This has always been the case. Needless to say, Chu Yi, Liu Jin, and Yu Huatian are a small group.
Liu Jin is the eldest among the three relying on his knowledge of the palace and the uncle behind him, while Chu Yi keeps a low profile and hides his clumsiness, relying on his knowledge to firmly occupy the second place. As for Yuhuatian, there is no need to mention it.
He said, among the three of them, he is the youngest.
There was a sound of rapid footsteps, and then a voice sounded from outside the door: "Chu Yi is here, the manager has summoned him."
With a creak, the door opened, and Chu Yi only saw a young eunuch who often served Fan Heng standing at the door. He quickly saluted and said, "Chu Yi has met my father-in-law!"
The little eunuch glanced at Chu Yi and said, "The manager has summoned me, come with me."
Half a year after entering the Royal Horse Prison, Chu Yi never saw Fan Heng again. He did not expect that Fan Heng's summons would be so sudden.
Feeling quite confused, he followed closely beside the little eunuch, quietly put a piece of silver into the little eunuch's hand and whispered: "May I ask my father-in-law, is there anything that happened when the steward summoned me?"
The little eunuch put the money away skillfully, glanced at Chu Yi and said, "Remember to be smarter later. Manager Wang Yue came to chat with him and brought with him a smart and clever little eunuch, who boasted like a flower.
Yes, our father-in-law will ask me to recruit you..."
Although the little eunuch revealed not much information, it was enough. At least Chu Yi understood why Fan Heng summoned him.
Needless to say, Fan Heng must have wanted to see Wang Yue showing off in front of him, so he specially invited him to compete with the little eunuch.
I feel a little excited in my heart. If I want to gain a foothold in this palace and hold power, I have to climb up. When will one person be inferior to ten thousand people, then I can barely worry about my own life?
