I want to be a grandson

Chapter 287 Yao Guangxiao

Li Hua said uncompromisingly: "I punished him for his own good, so as not to lose his head and die! If this incident happened elsewhere, our family would just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye to it. But this is the palace! You have to follow the rules of the palace! Come here! Fight!"

Ma He looked at the little eunuch who had tripped over him, but said nothing.

Because he knew that since Wantong's intercession was useless, the eunuch in the palace in front of him was determined to punish him.

His own words are light, and explanations are useless!
Immediately afterwards, several eunuchs pulled him aside and pushed him down on a bench.

Wan Tong leaned over to Ma He, squatted down and said in a low voice, "Ma He, you have to be patient. I've dealt with it quietly. Although the pain of flesh and blood is inevitable, they won't kill you..."

"Thank you..."

Before Ma He could fully express his thanks, the two eunuchs swung their boards and hit him hard!

"Bite a little, don't break your teeth..."

Wantong took out his own handkerchief again, and stuffed it into Ma He's mouth for him to bite.

Because when people are in pain, they will unconsciously clench their teeth, and the muscles of the whole body will also tense. This way, it is easy to crush the teeth, and if you accidentally bite your tongue, it will be fatal!

Wantong's doing this is obviously for the sake of Ma's reconciliation.

Li Hua taught the eunuch a lesson and said, "Everyone, be careful. If anyone dares to mess around and break things, I will let you taste the board!"

"I won't give you a long memory, and you won't know when your head will be lost! What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and register it in the warehouse!"

The eunuchs didn't dare to watch any more, and got busy quickly.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The sound of the board hitting the body echoed all the time in the yard, adding some scary atmosphere to this winter.

"What's going on, I've heard you all in a mess here from afar."

At this moment, Wang Zhong brought several eunuchs into the yard, and asked after seeing this scene.

Li Hua didn't expect that Wang Zhong would come in person, so he hurried over to laugh and said, "Oh, Mr. Wang, what kind of wind brought you here, just let me know if you have any instructions, and go and listen immediately, little one, how dare you?" Excuse me, sir..."

The imperial prison is one of the eunuch institutions established earlier.It is the first batch of eunuch institutions established by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

At the beginning of the establishment of the imperial prison, the rank was the third rank.

Compared with other eunuch institutions, this rank is already very high, which shows that Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to the imperial prison.

But the organization at this time was not very perfect.In the third year of Hongwu, the rank of the imperial supervisor was reduced to the third rank.In the sixth year of Hongwu, the imperial prison was downgraded to the end, from the third rank to the seventh rank.

Although the level has declined, overall, the actual power of the imperial prison is gradually rising.

And the decline in rank is not just for the imperial prison.In the sixth year of Hongwu, basically all the ranks of eunuch institutions were from the seventh rank.

"The imperial prison was changed to the enshrinement department, the rank was from the seventh rank, and there were five officials"

In the 17th year of Hongwu, the status of the imperial prison further declined.

Zhu Yuanzhang established the nine supervisors as "Neiguan Supervisor, Shengong Supervisor, Shangbao Supervisor, Shangyi Supervisor, Shangshan Supervisor, Division Setup Supervisor, Division Rites Supervisor, Yuma Supervisor, and Zhidian Supervisor—"History of the Ming Dynasty"

It can be seen that among the nine prisons established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the imperial prison was not included, and the current imperial prison is probably like a temporary institution, and there is no official responsibility name in the palace.

This may be related to the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang is not as greedy for pleasure as the descendants of later generations, so the imperial prison has no room to play, and its natural status is greatly reduced.

Besides, Wang Zhong is the emperor's grandson's confidant, and in terms of the eunuch's position, he is much higher than himself.

It was also for this reason that Li Hua was so respectful when he met Wang Zhong.

"Is everything ready?"

Li Hua replied respectfully: "For Master Hui, everything else has been prepared, but His Royal Highness Yan's contribution was only delivered today, so it's a bit late... I dare not bother you to come here in person, when is it convenient for you Give me an order, and I will personally send it over..."

Wang Zhong nodded, glanced at the beaten Ma He and said, "You're welcome, what's going on."

Li Hua said: "If you have bad legs and feet, you will be negligent, and you will overturn the tribute, and the younger one will be taught a lesson..."

At this time, the board had been beaten, and there were bloodstains on the horse and buttocks. Obviously, the eunuchs were also very measured, only hurting the flesh and not the bones, not the inside.

Wang Zhong knew that this was Li Hua's intention to release the water, otherwise people would not be able to stand up if they fell down a few boards, and in serious cases, their lives would be endangered.

But he didn't say it, after all, the eunuchs who made mistakes in the palace were only punished, and sometimes people beat them lightly because of face, or when they received money.

This is human nature and understandable.

"He's not from your imperial prison, is he?"

"You really have piercing eyes. He is serving in Yan Wang's mansion. If he is really small, he won't be so cheap!"

Wang Zhong looked at the goods being registered in the warehouse. There are still a lot of them, and the goods in the warehouse need to be carefully checked one by one. It is necessary to separate into different rooms.

In order to prevent each other from shirking each other and arguing with each other when they find that the goods are not on the right board in the future.

Wang Zhong knew that no one in the palace would take care of the eunuch of King Yan's Mansion, and the eunuch who was beaten could not leave the palace alone, but could only go out with the eunuch who delivered the tribute.

He couldn't bear it and said: "It will take an hour to register these tributes, right? Since there is no serious mistake, then apply some wound medicine to him."

Li Hua echoed and said: "Yes, yes, the little one obeyed! Someone, send him down for medicine..."

Upon hearing this, the expression on Wantong's face froze instantly!

With the support of the two eunuchs, Ma He stood up with difficulty, saluted Wang Zhong and said, "Thank you, father-in-law..."

Wang Zhong waved his hand and said indifferently: "Go down quickly, don't delay."

Wantong helped the horse to go down, and asked someone to smear him with wound medicine, and hurried back to the imperial prison to wait, but he felt extremely bitter in his heart...

After the registration of the tribute into the warehouse was completed, Wantong took the eunuchs out of the palace and returned to King Yan's mansion.

At this time, the young eunuch Ma He went back lying on the carriage in the open air, and Wantong also sat beside him to take care of him, and took off his robe for Ma He to cover his buttocks.

Ma He hastily declined and said, "How can this be, Master, the weather is too cold, so don't let the wind blow you..."

During the Ming Dynasty, especially in the early Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs below would always respectfully call the eunuch who managed them as "Master", but there was not much relationship between master and apprentice, it was just a relationship between subordinates and subordinates, and there was some affection.

Wantong insisted on covering him up and said, "It's because of the cold weather that you can't catch cold. If the cold air enters your body, it will immediately cause chilblain, and your injury will be very difficult to heal..."

"Thank you Master..."

Ma He couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to accept the kindness.

"Ugh……"

Wantong took a look and said: "Ma and you can also see how strict the rules are in the palace. It's also fortunate that you are the one brought back by His Highness. They don't dare to do evil things for His Highness's sake. He If it is really a job in the palace, it will be really terrible!"

Glancing at Ma He, he continued, "I advise you not to think about going back to the capital. You live a very happy life in Beiping. Didn't Master Yao ask you to copy scriptures for him? Master really wants to cultivate you... ..."

During the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs in the palace were all dispatched by the court. Although they served in the palaces of vassal princes in various places, their roots were still in the capital.

As long as you want to go back to the capital, whether it's bribery with money or someone to ask for a relationship, there will always be a way.

"You have fallen into the eyes of the nobleman. I heard that the master is going to ask His Highness to accept you as a disciple. This is a grace that no one can ask for..."

"You also know the status of Master Yao in His Highness's heart. Once you become the master's disciple, you will be able to rise to the top of the sky in this life! In the future, I plan to ask you to give me a hand..."

He continued: "What if you really go back to the capital? Even if you enter the palace, you will be just a handyman with no rank. You have to start from scratch. How can you have such a good opportunity?"

Ma He, who was lying on his stomach, endured the pain, and said sadly in his heart: "Master, I understand what you said, but my mother and younger brother are both in the capital, and they are still slaves, and my mother is old. I want to be closer in the capital and see my mother's face..."

"Then you can also ask Master Yao, as long as he speaks in front of His Royal Highness King Yan, it will not be a trivial matter to bring your mother and younger brother to Beiping!"

Ma He shook his head, sighed in his heart and said, "My mother is not in good health, she can't move around, and if she doesn't pay attention, she will get seriously ill. It's a bumpy journey from here to Beiping thousands of miles away..."

In ancient times, traveling far away was more comfortable either by boat or by horse-drawn carriage.

However, there were no smooth concrete roads in the Ming Dynasty. Even the avenues were usually bumpy and uneven. If it was raining, it would be even more muddy and difficult to walk on.

Although it is more difficult to transport goods or march to war, the problem is not fatal.

But if transporting an old man who is sick and weak for a long time, it is tantamount to letting her die.

Wantong also knew Ma He's scruples and embarrassments, so he couldn't say more, after all, he was also for filial piety.

……

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

There is a small meditation room in Yanwang Mansion in the capital. There is no decoration in this meditation room, the walls are bare, there are no paintings, not even a Buddha statue.

The only thing I have is a wooden fish and a few futons.

At this time, Yao Guangxiao was knocking on the wooden fish and chanting scriptures, his eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't pay attention to the eunuch Wantong who kept bowing at the door, as if he was very pious.

I don't know how long it took for the wooden fish's knocking sound to stop, "Have you been to the palace?"

"Yes."

"Ma Heke has taken the punishment?"

Wantong replied: "Returning to the master, Ma He suffered thirty boards and was slightly injured, but he was not seriously injured, but after the execution, he ran into the eunuch of the East Palace, and he had someone paint Ma He. vulnerary……"

Yao Guangxiao's eyes suddenly opened, revealing a gleam of light, "What's going on, tell me!"

Wantong shuddered, and quickly recounted how he bribed the eunuch in the palace, how he designed Ma He to be punished, and Wang Zhong's appearance, daring not to hide anything.
