Chapter 45 Torture

What is "Eunuch Zhenbi"?

When it comes to "endowed pen", we have to talk about the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Why is this ceremonial supervisor?

The Supervisor of Ceremonies can be said to be equivalent to the cabinet of the foreign dynasty.

The ceremonial supervisor is a product of the imperial palace.

In fact, fundamentally speaking, the cabinet is also a product of the imperial palace. In the beginning, the cabinet was just an institution similar to the emperor's advisers.

However, in the early days of the Taizong Dynasty of the Zhou Dynasty, a cabinet was first established. At that time, the cabinet was only the prototype of the current cabinet.

In the later period of the Taizong Dynasty, the cabinet was suspended above the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, etc., and there were senior ministers such as the first assistant and the second assistant in the cabinet; they were actually equivalent to the prime minister and deputy prime minister.

However, Emperor Jing after Taizong was not a very diligent emperor.

Therefore, a decree was issued so that the cabinet should be "blue-criticized" (that is, when ministers submit memorials to the court, ministers can only be blue-criticized).

As for the emperor's "Zhu Pi" (the final right to comment on memorials), Emperor Jing gave it to his close eunuchs, so a special organization was established for this purpose, which is the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

——Speaking of it, it is very similar to the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the so-called letting the confidant eunuchs do "Zhu Pi" would still have to be reviewed by the emperor himself later.

However, some emperors were too lazy to read it and sent it directly to the cabinet. As a result, this memorial became the legal effect of the Zhou Empire.

Let’s talk about the Chief of Ceremonies. The first-in-command of the Chief of Ceremonies is called the “Eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies,” also known as the Internal Prime Minister. There is also a second-in-command, called the “Eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies,” also known as the “Eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies.”

Internal secondary phase, or simply called "secondary phase".

The "Palm Eunuch" and the "Genius Eunuch" are both existences that can be "marked".

However, they usually take turns working in the ceremonial department.

That is to say, if it is the turn of the eunuch to rest today, then the eunuch to write the pen needs to be on duty today, and vice versa. This is such a work system.

Of course, everything must be divided into big and small. The "Palm Eunuch" belongs to the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Zhou Dynasty. It can be said that the most powerful among eunuchs and the ultimate among eunuchs;

The "ancestor" the prince calls him is also the "eunuch with the palm seal".

Although Wang Gonggong is the "Zhenbi Eunuch", the second-in-command among the eunuchs, according to some unspoken rules in the palace, the palm print eunuch and the Zhenbi eunuch are not of the same generation. Generally speaking, the palm print eunuch is the godfather of the Zhenbi eunuch.

.

The unspoken rule among eunuchs is that they should recognize their godfather, godson or godson.

This can also be regarded as the first choice for cultivating and promoting one's cronies, and for currying favor with others.

For example, Liu Xi and Li Jin are godfather and godson.

But at this moment, Li Jin's whole body was already trembling. At this time, the guards of the palace beside him also knew that the golden medal arrow was real.

So many people at the scene were kneeling to the man holding the golden medal arrow. Doesn’t this explain the problem?

At this moment, the prince raised the golden medal arrow again and said to the people in Prince Lu's Mansion: "This is the gold medal arrow given by the emperor. Why don't you kneel down?"

The guards of Prince Lu's Mansion immediately knelt down in fear, and the guards and generals behind the prince all knelt down immediately. The soldiers who came over also knelt down immediately.

.

"There is an edict:"

The prince suddenly said loudly:

"With the report from the Supervisor of Ceremonies, eunuch Wang Hong went south to bring Liang Ping'an, a member of the Weihui Mansion in Zhongzhou Province, to the imperial court. There must be no mistake. Please accept this!"

"Long live Long live Long live!"

Suddenly everyone present shouted loudly.

At this moment, the prince, Wang Hong, immediately walked towards Li Jin in front, and several guards in royal robes around him also followed immediately.

When Li Jin saw this scene, he immediately jumped up, and then looked at Wang Hong, the eunuch and eunuch who was the ceremonial supervisor, pressing forward step by step. He suddenly collapsed:

"Please, Eunuch Wang, my godfather is Liu Xi, and he must be friends with you. Please, for my godfather's sake, please spare me, please!"

He said and knelt down directly towards Wang Hong, but Wang Hong ignored him at all and kept walking straight towards him.

When Li Jin saw that he was showing weakness, he immediately jumped up again and shouted to Wang Hong: "You, you have no right to kill me. The emperor's 'imperial order' did not say to kill Li Jin!"

At this time, Wang Hong had already approached Li Jin. He looked at Li Jin with contempt, and contemptuous words came out of Wang Hong's mouth:

"Your Majesty told our family before he came that we can make the decision in camera."

After he uttered these words, a guard in brocade clothes stood next to him and took out his embroidered spring sword from its sheath, and cut off Li Jin's big head with one blow.

At this time, Wang Hong looked at the guards and others who came out of Prince Lu's Mansion and asked, "Who knows where Liang Ping'an is being held?"

At this time, a captain of the guard stood up and stammered: "Little... I know."

Wang Hong said: "Lead the way."

So the captain of the guard directly led the way, and the officers and soldiers of the Weihui Mansion garrison behind Wang Hong and a group of guards in uniforms immediately led the way, led by the captain of the guard, and let them open the way and directly broke into General Lu's palace.

Wang Hong, accompanied by three close followers of the Jinyi Guards and protected by a large number of officers, soldiers and Jinyiwei, also walked towards the gate of Prince Lu's Mansion.

Inside the dungeon of Prince Lu's Mansion.

A separate cell in the dungeon.

There are almost no guards from Prince Lu's palace around this cell.

But a voice can still be heard speaking, and judging from its voice, it should be a female voice.

"Liang Ziheng, you have also seen that such a dim-witted court turned a blind eye to a talent like you who even won three yuan, and even arrested you into the dungeon of Prince Lu's Mansion.

And this is just because they are greedy for your money.

Do you think such a court, such a cowardly court, can still be saved?

It is better to submit to our White Lotus Sect, Wusheng Old Mother will definitely give you good luck, and with the blessing of Silent Old Mother, our White Lotus Sect will definitely be able to overthrow this corrupt and perverse court!"

The "prisoner" in this cell is none other than Liang Ping'an. He is now disheveled and looking at the woman who is pretending to be a guard of Prince Lu's palace outside the cell. This woman has been lobbying him these days.

Now Liang Pingan only knows that this woman is the saint of the White Lotus Sect, which is what she calls herself, and she also heard her subordinates call her that.

Liang Ping'an was also very entangled at this time. Now that he is in jail, what will the Hun King do to him if he doesn't know yet?

The people in Prince Lu's Mansion have always tortured themselves these days to make them tell where their money is hidden.

Liang Ping'an would not say that what he couldn't let go of the most now was Xiashui Village. How is Xiashui Village now?

Were the heads killed by this faint king?

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but think that the worst he could do was to surrender to White Lotus. If he surrendered to them, he would definitely be able to get out. It would be easy to see these White Lotus sect members entering and exiting the dungeon of Prince Lu's Mansion.
