I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 588 Drafting Candidates

Hearing what Huang Yan said, Li Tian thought of this person a little bit.

"So, he has been working as an errand in the Jingu Palace for the past few years?"

"That's right, the current chief supervisor of Jingu is He Lin, the former chief supervisor of the Imperial Horse Supervisor."

Li Tian thought for a while.

Of the twelve prisons in the inner palace of the Ming Dynasty, the Sili Supervisor was the largest, followed by the Yuma Supervisor and the Yinshou Supervisor. Anyone who can be the chief supervisor of these three supervisors is a person with great ability.

It can be said that He Lin was able to get into the position of the head of the Yuma Supervisor many years ago. It can be said that he must have talent.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to get promoted by Zhu Di, the great emperor, to occupy such an important position.

"That's right, the person you recommended is not bad. It's a bit late today, and tomorrow I'll go and see He Lin's ability in person. If it's as you said, then your errand will be spared!"

Huang Yan hastily kowtowed and said,
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Director He will definitely not disappoint you. This old slave believes that he will be qualified for the position of Nanjing's garrison eunuch."

The position of the guard eunuch is not high if you say it is high, but it is not low if you say it is low.

In the local area, the guard eunuch supervises the military affairs of a certain area. When the seats are arranged at the meeting, he has to take the main seat. Even the general marquis can only take the top seat, and the ordinary generals are even worse. They can only sit by the side and sit at the bottom .

In the Ming Dynasty, guarding was originally the title of a military officer. "The one who guards one side is the guard, and the one who guards all the way is the guard."

The guards are all served by the commander-in-chief, the deputy commander-in-chief in a few areas, and the generals of many departments.

Each border town and provincial-level area has a guarding general officer.

The emperors in the past naturally couldn't rest assured of these military officers who held the power of the soldiers and horses of one province and one province. They thought that the most convenient and reliable way was to send their cronies' palace slaves to monitor them, so they set up guarding eunuchs.

On the one hand, the official name of the garrison eunuch comes from the garrison general, but the garrison general is generally inferior to the garrison eunuch.

This is actually the origin of the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty.

However, not all places in the Ming Dynasty had guarding eunuchs, especially in the middle and early Ming Dynasty, only a few places had guarding eunuchs.

For example, staying in Fengyang as the capital, and Nanjing as the accompanying capital.

But in contrast, because Nanjing has a backup of the Nanjing Six Departments, the garrison eunuch has the duty to control the Nanjing Six Departments while having the right to supervise.

In terms of power, it is much greater than that of ordinary guard eunuchs.

However, according to the different abilities of the guarding eunuchs, the nobles in Nanjing have different attitudes towards the guarding eunuchs.

If he is unable to subdue those dukes and marquises, he will naturally be countered by them, and even become their accomplice.

The current Nanjing garrison eunuch Ma Dazhong was actually assimilated and bought by Nanjing nobles.

Although on the surface they are still fighting non-stop for their own interests.

But those are all trivial matters. Problems that can be solved with money are actually not problems.

Originally, Li Tian also thought that although Ma Dazhong was not a thing, at least he could delay those nobles for a while, so that he would have time to deal with them.

Unexpectedly, they were fighting like crazy on the surface, but they colluded with each other at the critical moment.

If Li Tian's guess is correct, the person who assassinated Zhou Chen, the governor, should be the arrangement of those nobles.

For such an important matter, if Ma Dazhong, a well-known eunuch on the defensive in Nanjing, didn't hear any news, Li Tian would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

And he did not receive any report from Nanjing, which can only explain one thing.

Either Ma Dazhong was completely controlled by others at this time and could not speak, or Ma Dazhong had already joined forces with these people.

In this case, if Li Tian wanted to win the round, he had to arrange another Nanjing defensive eunuch to go to Nanjing to disrupt the situation.

If coupled with the cooperation of Zhou Chen, the governor, it is not impossible for the two sides to cooperate to suppress the nobles in Nanjing.

When Li Qing's inspection team arrived and cleared the guards in Nanjing, it was time for Li Tian to officially attack the nobles in Nanjing.

At that time, whether it is to abolish the six departments in Nanjing or let them all move to Beijing, it is not a matter of his words.

It's just that what worries Li Tian now is whether this He Lin has the strength to control the situation.

If you want to play with your mind, in fact, even Huang Yan may not be the opponent of the gang of nobles in Nanjing.

Li Tian was even more worried about He Lin, the chief supervisor of the palace supervisor.

However, Li Tian also knew that there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Even if He Lin is not capable enough, as long as he cooperates with Zhou Chen well, it can still play a role to some extent, which is tantamount to nothing.

Even if the matter was settled like this, Huang Yan escaped from the imperial study room as if relieved of a heavy burden.

The little eunuch who came to pick him up on the way thought something had happened to him when he saw his sweating profusely.

Just about to flatter and ask a few questions, Huang Yan stared and said,

"Hurry up and prepare the sedan chair for me, I'm going to visit the chief supervisor of the Jingu Palace."

The little eunuch didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly called people to prepare!

Huang Yan got on the sedan chair and felt that it was not good to go so empty-handed, so he poked his head and said to the little eunuch,
"Hurry up and go back, and bring the emerald jade Buddha that they paid tribute to our family some time ago!"

The little eunuch had also followed Huang Yan for a long time, and said in a puzzled way,
"Master, that is your favorite object, what are you planning to do!"

Huang Yan said angrily,
"What time is it, and I still can't bear to part with a Jade Buddha! If we can't pass this test this time, our family may be dispatched to Nanjing!"

Although the little eunuch didn't quite understand what was going on, he could tell from Huang Yan's tone that this matter was unusual, so he quickly shut up and trotted all the way to the East Factory.

Li Tian naturally didn't know Huang Yan's struggle and panic.

After dealing with the matter at hand, he came to the queen's bedroom.

I thought the empress was already asleep, but unexpectedly, the empress seemed to know that he would come, and had prepared food and wine for him.

After Li Tian sat down, he curiously asked the queen,

"Ling'er, what are you doing? How do you know that I didn't eat at night?"

The queen narrowed her eyes and said,

"Your Majesty, you still want to hide it from your concubine, but I heard that your majesty has made a big killing in the exchange today, and made a lot of money."

Li Tian was stunned, and stammered,

"Ling'er, you...how did you know about this!"

The queen mysteriously took out a piece of paper from behind, and Li Tian saw that it was full of transaction price curves.

Just as she was about to ask her where this thing came from, the queen said first,

"As long as the rich people can enter the exchange, although the concubines can't go by themselves, they can at least send someone to go!"
