Chapter 276 Observing Government by Order ([-])
Eunuch Huang rushed to visit Gao Shidu, not because he had something urgent to report to the imperial envoy, but because this guy had studied in the Supervisor of Rituals before, and he knew that currying favor with Shangfeng was far more important than drinking and eating meat.

The meaning of the little eunuchs studying in the Silijian is to be trained as the emperor's private secretary. To some extent, it is similar to Gao Shidu's previous life background. This kind of person not only knows how to serve others, but also knows an important The principle of being an official: the meaning of the leader must be understood immediately. If you can't know the meaning of the leader for a while, you can learn from the people around the leader.

Since Meng Zhangyin was only a chef, he had not been trained in the Lijian since he was a child, his ability was limited, and his level was average. Regarding Gao Yushi's "observation of politics" announcement, he was so slow that he didn't take it as a big deal. Therefore, Huang Zhenshou did not get the instructions from Meng Zhangyin in advance.

Fortunately, Huang Zhenshou himself is a man of discernment, knowing that his ancestors got up there relying on Gao Ge's nephew, so Huang Zhenshou did not dare to neglect the nephew of Gao Ge's nephew. out.

As for the imperial envoy, Cheng Wen, since he is a student of Gao Gong, if the future goes well, he is naturally a person with a promising future. It cannot be said that it is not important, but there are so many students of Gao Gong, even if it is only a group of useful ones, there are not a hundred There must be eighty, so how could it be more important than this nephew whom he personally brought by his side?

That being the case, the only thing Huang Zhenshou can do is to show his loyalty.

Gao Yushi still recognized Huang Zhenshou's knowledge and interest, and praised him with an air of "Xiaoge Lao". He said that Huang Zhenshou's face was flushed, and he even dreamed of waiting for Gao Shi to read it in the future. If you become Gao Ge Lao, you might be able to change from Huang Zhenshou to Huang Zhangyin...

In fact, in theory, the "imperial envoy guarding the local eunuch in Datong" is much tougher than his high-ranking attendant, and in terms of real power, he is even more of a powerless companion who beats him, a powerless prince.But in the backward era of human rule like the feudal dynasty, many things can't be seen on the surface. Gao Shidu is a person who communicates on an equal footing in front of his immediate boss, Meng Zhangyin, Huang Zhenshou. What's so strange about praising him?
However, the reason why Huang Zhenshou was valued by Gao Shidu was that apart from being knowledgeable and interesting, the more important thing was that he was the eunuch of Datong, which was very useful for Gao Yushi to carry out his work in the future.

Since Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, three types of guarding officials gradually formed: guarding eunuchs in Nanjing and other places, guarding middle officials in various borders, and guarding middle officials in various provinces.

The duty of Nanjing's garrison eunuchs was to "guard Liudu".Specifically, internal affairs include the affairs of Nanjing’s inner government yamen and Xiaolingwei, Houhu reclamation arts and the management of soldiers who were exiled to grow vegetables to purify themselves, and the punishment and imprisonment of guilty officials sent to Nanjing from various places; foreign affairs include Nanjing. The planning of city defense and river defense, the registration of prisoners in various prisons in Nanjing, the promotion of officials and troops at Dasheng Pass and other passes, and the collection of taxes, money and food in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, etc.

Of course, the duty of guarding the middle officials in various borders is mainly to guard the borders.To be specific, one is "supervising the army" and the other is "fuyi".The supervisory army guarding the middle officials is different from the supervisory censors. The supervisory censors and the supervisory army are to review rewards and punishments for crimes, while the supervisory army guarding the middle officials has the authority to supervise military generals, assist military operations, and rectify military discipline and border defense.

The main duty of guarding Zhongguan in each province is to calm the people.Its specific powers include supervising civil and military officials, dispatching guards to suppress people's resistance, oppressing local tyrants, arresting fugitives, suggesting to the central government to increase or decrease administrative and military settings in response to the needs of local security, and coordinating the province's civil and military officials and divisions and governments. , The official business of the county agency, recruiting the lost population, etc.

In addition, all guarding officials have two special missions. One is to serve as the eyes and ears of the court and keep informed of the situation in various places;

Since Huang Zhenshou guarded Datong, he certainly belonged to the "Ministry Guards of the Frontiers". The middle guards of the borders were set up along the Great Wall from Liaodong to Gansu, which is the so-called "nine borders". Or Xingdusi, which is an important town in the north.During the time of Yongle, the commander-in-chief was successively increased in these areas, and the sub-garrison generals, guerrillas, and garrison were set up under them. At the same time, middle officials were assigned to the towns to supervise and inspect military affairs.After Xuande, whenever there is a guarding general officer's office, there are eunuchs or young supervisors guarding it; , Fengyu, internal envoys, etc., formed two complete systems of guarding military officials and guarding middle officials.

At this time, Gao Yushi relied heavily on Huang Mengyu because he had the authority to take care of the ordnance.Most of the castles and passes in the border gates set up gun gun internal officers, whose duty is to "specialize in the protection of firearms, and military officers must not touch them"-the gun gun internal officers are served by eunuchs and are under the jurisdiction of the guarding eunuchs.

To Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi, Gao Yushi was just a younger generation, let alone mentioning his rank. If he wanted them to help, he could only force them in the name of imperial envoys, but this was definitely a bad policy, and there was no need to even explain.

As for Ma Fang, although Ma Fang has already taken refuge in Gao Gong, Gao Yushi is not Gao Gong himself after all. His relationship with Ma Fang is actually more like that of an ally. Soldiers fight, and they do not have the authority to directly control the firearms warehouse, so although Gao Pragmatic can still ask him for help, it may not be so flexible and easy to do things.

Only Huang Mengyu, the local eunuch who guards Datong, although he has neither the right to command nor the right to dispatch troops, but the firearms custody is within his scope of authority.

If civil servants want to be promoted, they have to be promoted step by step, without seniority, unless the emperor makes an exception for promotion, even the recommendation of the chief assistant may not be able to reach the sky in one step, because the chief assistant also considers material opinions and reputations, and usually can only prevent you from taking detours.

However, eunuchs are different. Although there are rules in theory, as long as the emperor approves, he is still the chef in the imperial dining room today, and he can go to the supervisor of ceremonies to be a pen tomorrow.Although Meng Chong's ability is limited and his level is average, but he has served Long Qing for a long time, and he has Gao Gong to help him. It is still very effective to speak to the emperor. It is not a big problem to promote the little eunuchs under him, so he can influence Gao Gong's Gao Shidu, in Huang Zhenshou's view, is an uncle who must be served carefully.

Since he was an uncle, he had to behave like an uncle, and he didn't have to be as cautious as he was with senior civil servants, so after Gao Wushi finished boasting, he asked questions directly.He looked at Huang Mengyu, who was sitting in front of him with only half of his buttocks in front of him, showing a polite smile, and asked: "Tomorrow, the imperial envoy will inspect all kinds of firearms in Datong City, especially the firearms... Huang Guarding you, maybe you can make arrangements for me so that I won't be disturbed by others?"
