Wang Chengen is indeed not very old now, but he is still very capable. He is a serious eunuch who has been trained by orthodox training.

That is, the kind of person who urinated in a designated place since childhood, was then selected and sent to the imperial city where eunuchs were specially trained to learn literature and martial arts.

It can be said that his abilities are outstanding among the eunuchs trained in the same group, otherwise he would not have been attracted by Cao Huachun and taken over to his subordinates, and he was dedicated to promoting them. He became a manager of the sixth rank in his twenties and became the prince's companion.

However, he never expected that the emperor would suddenly promote him to the Inner Palace Supervisor to take charge of the seal.

Just kidding, the inner palace supervisor is in charge of the seal, the fourth-rank eunuch!

Moreover, this inner palace prison is not an ordinary yamen.

The twenty-four prisons in the inner palace each have their own duties, and the power of the eunuchs in the various yamen is also different from the size of the eunuchs.

The Sili Supervisor is in charge of receiving and managing memorials, as well as assisting the emperor in approving red seals, as well as the functions of drafting and commending orders. The second-person of the Sili Supervisor is also in charge of the East Factory.

Therefore, the Silijian is the largest yamen in the inner palace. The eunuch in charge of seals is called the inner minister. His power is so great that it is like the chief minister of the cabinet among civil servants.

The original second largest yamen in the inner palace was not the Imperial Horse Prison, but the Imperial Palace Prison!

Because the inner palace supervisor is in charge of all the imperial villages and imperial shops, as well as the inner palace's vaults, silver trunks, rice and salt trunks, construction trunks, etc., as well as the construction of palaces and tombs, as well as materials such as east, west, wood, stone, tile and soil, as well as royal marriages, funerals, etc., all are under the supervision of the inner palace.

Zheng He, the eunuch of the Yongle Dynasty, was the inner palace supervisor who was in charge of seals, which shows how powerful the inner palace supervisor is in charge of seals.

As for the Imperial Horse Prison, it was originally in charge of the inner palace horses, tigers, leopards, elephants, cats and dogs and other animals. Its power was not as good as Shangshen, Seal and Strip Prison, and Zhidian Prison, and all the officials were large in the yamen.

However, after the orthodox dynasty of Emperor Yingzong, the only remaining imperial guards in the royal family became under the control of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor became the second largest yamen in the inner palace.

Despite this, the Inner Palace Supervisor is also the third eunuch in the palace. In terms of grade, he is one level higher than the eunuch of the East Factory.

He, a young eunuch who had just come out of school for a few years, can serve as the internship supervisor to take charge of the seal?

To be honest, when Wang An announced the imperial edict, Wang Chengen thought he had heard it wrong, and he was still confused until the emperor called him to the imperial study room.

Taichang looked at the young eunuch in front of him, and actually felt a little upset in his heart.

Can this kid take on this important task?

To be honest, he wasn't sure either.

Problem, there is really no one under his command!

Wang An is not capable at all, so he has to act as the chief seal of the Secretariat.

Cao Huachun is very capable, so he must be controlled by the Imperial Horse Prison to be at ease!

Liu Shi can only be considered ok if he has the ability, and he is in charge of Shangshenjian and the Imperial Pharmacy.

The Wei Dynasty was just a fool and was sent to be the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison.

Where can he have any trusted eunuchs available under his command?

Wang Cheng'en was able to accompany Chongzhen to death in history, and his loyalty must be excellent, but he doesn't know how capable he is.

Alas, there is no way, I can only try it.

Taichang stared at Wang Chengen for a while, then said with a tentative temptation: "Chengen, do you know why I mentioned you to the position of the Inner Palace Supervisor's seal?"

this!

Can I say I don't know?

Of course not!

Wang Chengen thought for a while, then bowed respectfully: "The emperor is so kind, I cannot repay you. I can only say that no matter whether it is going up to the mountain of swords, going down to the sea of ​​fire, or running into the oil pan, as long as you say something from the emperor, I will never frown."

Well, this loyalty is at least good.

Taichang nodded slightly and then asked: "The Inner Palace Supervisor is in charge of all the imperial shops and imperial villages, do you know?"

Of course, Wang Chengen knew that when they were in school, they had to memorize the functions of the Twenty-fourth Superintendent of the Inner Palace.

He bowed without hesitation: "Go back to the emperor, I know."

Taichang nodded slightly again, then asked: "Do you know that there are so many imperial shops and imperial shops in the world, but there is no one or two silver coins in the treasury all year round?"

When Wang Chengen heard this, he vaguely understood that the emperor was asking him to rectify the imperial shop and imperial village.

He bowed without hesitation: "This servant has heard a little."

OK, I will let you try it.

Taichang stretched out his fingers and said decisively: "I want you to do two things. First, the imperial shop must pay 500,000 taels of income to the inner treasury every year. Second, all the fertile land under the name of the imperial village, the Fuwang Mansion, and the corrupt officials collected from Nanzhili will be sold to me within one year, whether they pay the money or grain, it will be fine. In short, they will sell them all within one year. How about it, can you do it?"

This is really difficult!

Wang Chengen thought about it carefully, then gritted his teeth and said, "Since the emperor has an order, I have to do whatever I say. However, I really don't have many people under my command, so I'm afraid it won't work if I do it like this."

Oh, little guy, I have some courage!

Taichang couldn't help but admire, "How many people are needed, you said."

Wang Chengen thought about it carefully again, and then said carefully: "If the land in the imperial village is sold smoothly, at least 100 military eunuchs are needed for slaves, and at least 50 military eunuchs are needed for slaves."

Are you planning to be hard-working?

Very good, I like you, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Taichang waved without hesitation and said, "Okay, I will give you two hundred martial eunuchs and give you the power of life and death for all eunuchs in the inner palace. Regardless of grade, you can just cut them off if you are disobedient. You don't need to ask me for instructions. Now, you can go to the inner school to order people."

By the way, is this martial eunuch so easy to find?

Two hundred, just go to the inner school site casually!

These days, there are quite a lot of eunuchs or people who want to be eunuchs. According to historical records, the number of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty was more than 100,000!

Eunuchs are a good job. Just making some oil and water can make the family live a good life. The only disadvantage is that they have to cut off the things that have passed on the family line.

Poor families don’t have any unfilial behavior. If the three no descendants are the most important. People will starve to death. What’s the matter with passing on the family line? They can’t raise their own children and let them pass on the family line. If they are born, they will starve to death!

Therefore, a lot of children in the family have been sent to clean themselves these days, and there are also many people like Wei Zhongxian who castrated themselves.

It is no exaggeration to say that two hundred martial eunuchs are not a big deal, and two thousand martial eunuchs are nothing.

After Wei Zhongxian took power, he organized an iron-armored army composed of tens of thousands of military eunuchs. Everyone was wearing armor and holding swords and guns. Whoever dared not accept him would do it if he went up!

So, two hundred martial eunuchs are really nothing, just go and order them.

The inner school ground is located in the northwest corner of the imperial city. It was originally the training ground for the imperial guards in the palace. However, since Weng’s father and Wang Zhen were in power, this place has become a place dedicated to training eunuchs.

Wang Chengen came from here. The eunuchs or preparatory eunuchs who can practice in the inner school are carefully selected. Generally, they start practicing at the age of five or six. They have to practice for at least ten years and have passed the civil and military assessment before they can be selected to enter the palace to serve the emperor or concubines.

This is a rule that has been established since the Orthodox dynasty.

Of course, there are also bad rules. Wei Zhongxian obviously did not undergo training. He cut off the guy who passed on his family and then hired his connections to the Wei Dynasty's disciples, and then the Wei Dynasty directly introduced him to the palace.

It has to be said that this is a great irony for Wang Zhen, the father of Weng and his father, who tried his best to let the eunuch learn literature and martial arts, thereby increasing the power of the eunuch.

Although Wei Zhongxian was the exception, the inner school was highly valued by the Emperor Ming emperors since the orthodox dynasty of Yingzong. After all, the Emperor Ming emperors after Yingzong liked to use eunuchs, and the more they went to the future, the more they liked it. Wanli took this love to the extreme.

Wanli likes eunuchs so much that he even asks others to collect taxes, so he naturally attaches great importance to eunuchs' training.

Therefore, the inner school ground is the most lively at this moment. Not only are there eunuchs lined up to practice everywhere, but even the Jiale Hall, Qingfu Hall next to it, and the newly built houses around it are full of books and never stopped.

Wang Chengen revisited his old place, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

He has lived here for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with every tree and grass here. He glanced up and quickly found the house he had lived in. He looked down and saw that the stone slab on the ground was loose. He took a breath and knew everything he knew about the dishes cooked in the cafeteria today.

This place is really nostalgic!
