Compared with other people's versatile, I can only write history and am most interested in history. The reason why I regained this era that has been written countless times and has extremely successful works in the past was just because I read the Ming Dynasty and Ming Dynasty records and found many interesting small details, so I decided to start writing it. Compared with those masterpieces with decisive decisive works, I prefer the interaction between characters and those interesting small descriptions, so maybe some people will be disappointed, some people will like it, and each carrot and vegetables will love it!

With the words of comments, I posted some information about some characters, mainly eunuchs, famous officials from Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Liu Daxia, Ma Wensheng, etc., and Jiao Fang is no exception:
Xiao Jing 14352, whose courtesy name is Kegong, and his nickname is Meidong. He is from Nanping City, Nanping County, Yanping Prefecture, and is an eunuch of Silijian. He entered the palace to serve in service since childhood. He was selected to study in the inner hall of Silijian because of his cleverness. He worked hard and made rapid progress. In the early years of Tianshun, he was appointed as Changsui. At that time, Yingzong comforted and rewarded close ministers in the palace. There were a lot of gold and money strings accumulated and distributed them quickly. Xiao Jing registered one by one, and the calculation was correct. Yingzong then found that he was very scheming, so he trusted him. In the second year of Tianshun, he was promoted to Fengyu, and soon, he was promoted to the left supervisor of the imperial supervisor. In the fifth year of Tianshun, he was promoted to the right young supervisor. Yingzong was favored
He loved him and gave him python robes, jade belts and various treasures. On the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor personally inspected the archery and pointed at him and said, "Do you know you can write articles and still shoot arrows?" Xiao Jing immediately pressed the saddle and fired three arrows in a row. Yingzong was very happy. From then on, he cared for and appreciated him more and promoted him to eunuchs, assistant supervisors, and gave him several stones to Lumi every year. He was sent to Jingzhou and Xiangyang to do business. The local officials reported that he acted calmly, paid attention to influence, and did not harass the people. In 1464, Yingzong died in the eighth year of Tianshun, and he was sent to the Shen Palace Supervisor to be responsible for burning fire.
In the third year of Chenghua, he was transferred to the Inner Palace Supervisor to manage the warehousing and grain. His account cashier was clear and some of the past were basically eliminated. Therefore, he was promoted to the Chief Secretary for the Sili Supervisor and was ordered to investigate major cases in Wugang, Qizhou and other vassal states. There he eliminated interference, interrogated clearly, handled the case fairly, and reported the situation when he came back. Xianzong was very satisfied with him. However, Xiao Jing had a close relationship with Shang Ming, the official in charge of the East Factory at that time, and Shang Ming was a man who was a man who was in charge of the capital, extorted and bribed, and "selled official positions and titles everywhere". In the late Chenghua year, he was finally confiscated and exiled to Nanjing to be the Jing army. Therefore, when Xianzong died in 147 in Chenghua, in order to avoid implication, Xiao Jing took the initiative to ask for things that no eunuchs wanted to do - to go to Sixiang, Yuling.
In the early years of Hongzhi, Xiao Jing was inevitably impeached by court officials repeatedly. But Xiaozong protected him and excused him. He once said to Liu Daxia: "Xiao Jing is my consultant, but I have never given him power." [32]
In the third year of Hongzhi, there was a vacancy in the Silijian. Everyone thought that Xiao Jing was the most mature and experienced person, so he appointed him as the Silijian eunuch to participate in some major military and political issues. He was cautious and familiar with allusions. Whenever the emperor asked about anything, he knew everything well and could give clear and detailed answers according to the rules and regulations, and often had legitimate advice. Therefore, Xiaozong attached great importance to him and repeatedly ordered him to be responsible for arranging various major ceremonies such as crowns, marriages, funerals, and sacrifices.
When inspecting the troops of the regiment camp, he was ordered to work with the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and the Dali Temple to interrogate major cases, he interrogated carefully and sentenced them appropriately. At that time, Empress Zhang's younger brother Zhang Heling, Hou Shouning Marquis and Zhang Yanling, the No. 1 Jianchang Bo, all used the favor of the emperor and empress to indulge family slaves in violation of laws and disciplines and make money. He was impeached by many officials inside and outside the court, but Emperor Xiaozong did not pursue them. However, when the case fell into Xiao Jing's hands, he made a sentence according to the law and did not lend a little leniently, which made everyone convinced him.
In 1505, in the 18th year of Hongzhi, Emperor Xiaozong was critically ill and entrusted the crown prince to Xiao Jing, who later became Emperor Wuzong.
In the early years of Zhengde, Xiao Jing asked for leave to go back to his private house. In 1512, the seventh year of Zhengde, Wuzong appointed him as the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, gave him a robe embroidered with a python, and allowed him to go in and out in the palace. At this time, he was seventy-four years old, but he could still often put forward good opinions on current affairs. From 1517 to 1519, Wuzong often wandered and had fun in other places under the guise of "inspection". Xiao Jing and some eunuchs and court officials tried their best to persuade him, but they could not stop him. Wuzong asked him to stay in the capital, and people inside and outside the capital valued him and rely on him. However, because he had dated King Ning, Zhu Chenhao, after Zhu Chenhao failed to rebel, although Wuzong refused to arrest Xiao Jing because he was old, he still fined him his money and dismissed him [33].
In 1521, the 16th year of Zhengde, Wuzong died of illness and had no son. The vassal king Zhu Hou was promoted to the throne. It was Shizong. Because Xiao Jingde was respectful and familiar with various affairs and rituals of the palace, he specially ordered him to enter the palace to manage the machinery. Shizong went to the north and south to worship the Taimiao during the years and festivals, and worshiped the Imperial College in all seasons. When inspecting the Imperial College, Xiao Jing was all served by Xiao Jing. At this time, Xiao Jing was five years old, but he was still clear-headed and energetic. He advanced and retreated in the palace, and walked in a good manner.
. However, there are also many officials who impeached Xiao Jing. For example, in "Please Exit the Eunuch Xiao Jing", Zhang Yuan said that he "accumulated no less than 100,000 to 200,000 yuan" [34]. Mao Bowen impeached him to conspire to assist eunuchs Zhang Rui, Zhang Zhong, etc. who have been sentenced to death, and asked him to be sentenced to death [35]. Xiao Jing requested 1,500 craftsmen in the Supervision Bureau. Shang Peng Ze of the Ministry of War firmly opposed it, and Shizong also accepted Peng Ze's opinion [36], etc. However, these situations were not reflected in the tomb table written to him by Grand Secretary Yang Yiqing.
In 1522, Xiao Jing was repeatedly impeached by court officials and requested to retire. Shizong approved his request and remembered his past contributions. In addition to his annual salary, he added ten stones of rice every month; he assigned ten husbands to serve him every year; and gave him seasonal food as they did during the holidays. Such treatment was better than that of a retired cabinet minister, and it was something that eunuchs had never received before.
In the seventh year of Jiajing, Xiao Jing died of illness in his private residence outside the palace. Emperor Shizong ordered the eunuch Lai Yi to be responsible for the rituals of funerals, and the eunuch Han Xi, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, to conduct comprehensive handling of funeral matters. He sacrificed three altars and gave 30,000 new notes. He ordered the coffins, tombs, and building a hall. The Empress Dowager gave 100 taels of platinum and four insides. The Grand Secretary Zhai Luan wrote an epitaph for him, and Yang Yiqing wrote a tomb for him.
Xiao Jing had a good understanding and could understand the truth after reading it at a young age. Later, he used the rich favorable conditions in the palace to read classics, so he had rich knowledge. The poems he wrote were noble and elegant, without gorgeous sentences. His method was to copy Otto at the beginning, but later it turned into a down-to-earth style, especially for grass. He served six emperors, and his career had ups and downs, but he also served as eunuchs at the Sili Supervisor and the seal eunuchs four times, for fifty years. There were as many eunuchs under his name. He treated scholars gently and respectfully. When Yang Yiqing was in the cabinet, he had contacts many times because of official affairs. Sometimes Yang Yiqing refuted Wuzong's opinions, and he was not the same as Xiao Jing in his words. How polite, but Xiao Jing didn't mind. Although Xiao Jing did some illegal things, he did not take advantage of power and profit and formed cliques. He was dissatisfied with the accruing of wealth by other powerful officials. Although he had been by the emperor for decades, the house was still the same one, and he did not buy any property for himself. After retirement, he was even more content with the joy of the forest. He did not leave, and never talked about current affairs. He only wrote poems, played piano, and played chess with the guests he knew. When he was in danger, he warned his nephew and grandson, "The most important thing for a minister is not to deceive." He said nothing else. Eunuchs like him who did not make money and abused power were rare after the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
Xiao Jing's nephew, Xiao Xiao, was the commander of the Jinyiwei. Sun Xiao Shao and Xiao Xin were both Jinshi, and several Jinyiwei [37].
Li Rong, whose courtesy name is Maochun, was from Sanyuan County, Shaanxi Province. He was born on April 25, 1430, 1430, the fifth year of Xuande, entered the palace during the Jingtai period. He served as an eunuch in the Ganqing Palace and served Daizong. In 147 of the 14th year of Chenghua, Li Rong was appointed as the eunuch in the Sili Supervisor. Xianzong gave him a jade belt, python robes, and a forbidden place to ride a horse. His status can be seen. In 1497 of the tenth year of Hongzhi, he presided over the wedding of Princess Deqing and his son-in-law Duwei Lin Yue. At that time, Fanguo Li Rong participated in the family's major affairs, which shows how much Emperor Hongzhi valued Li Rong, and how powerful Li Rong was. When Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, Li Rong was already 77 years old and asked for retirement. Emperor Zhengde was raised by Li Rong since childhood and could not leave him for a day and did not agree to retire. Li Rong and Emperor Zhengde had this kind of relationship, so Liu Jin was also afraid of him? Of course, Li Rong was not a fool. Before the "demon case" was found out, he took the initiative to "take a vacation".
On September 10, 1512, the seventh year of Zhengde, 3-year-old Li Rong passed away. Emperor Zhengde ordered the eunuch Qiu Ju, Mo Ying, Chai Li and Tian Zhi to deal with his mourning. On October 12 of the same year, he was buried in "the origin of Xiangshan Township, Wanping County, Shuntian Prefecture". During Li Rong's lifetime, he lived here and built a pre-built hall of the ancestral hall. Emperor Xiaozong gave him a "Jingyi Temple" and sent someone to protect him.
Chen Kuan was born in Tiantang Village, Yangzhong Town, Anfuli, Youxi County in 1442. During the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, he was captured and plundered into the palace. During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, he was promoted to the chief censor and became an eunuch in the Dongchang period at the beginning of the Hongzhi period. From the late Hongzhi period to the beginning of the Zhengde period, Chen Kuan was the eunuch of the inner court's ritual supervisor. The chief 24 yamen was the head of the 24 yamen. He was known as the "internal minister". He was in charge of criticizing the redemption and promulgation. He also led the East Factory, the Nanjing garrison and the inner hall. He was known as "there is no name for the prime minister."
According to the Ming Dynasty's "Xuanzhao Lu·Liu Daxia" and "The World of Zhishi" by Chen Hongmo, the Ming Dynasty, in the 14th year of Hongzhi, the Minister of War, Ma Wensheng, a famous minister of the Ministry of War, and a generation of eunuch Chen Kuan, went to various battalions of the capital for inspection. At that time, he was the general officer of the Beijing camp, Zhang Mao, the descendant of Zhang Yu. According to records, although most generals could hold bows, they could not fire arrows, and even could not hold bows and fell into the ground. As for military tactics, they were collectively unaware of the question and could not answer them. The battalions of the capital were responsible for guarding the capital city, and they should be elite national forces. The officers were collectively incompetent, and Zhang Mao, as the general officer, could not refuse to blame. However, throughout the Hongzhi dynasty, Zhang Mao was always valued and treated. After Chen Kuan reviewed, he interrogated the emperor to rectify the army. Emperor Xiaozong agreed to his opinion and immediately rectified the army to ensure the stability of the country.
In May of the 18th year of Hongzhi, Emperor Xiaozong died and the crown prince ascended the throne, which was the Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty. Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao was a rare absurd emperor in history. He built a leopard house and named himself a general, completely ignoring the Confucian rituals and laws of the emperor. In that year, Emperor Wuzong favored him and served him early and evening when he was the crown prince. People called him the "Eight Tigers". They induced Emperor Wuzong to play games and enjoy the fun all day long.
, ignoring the government affairs. The ministers of the Responsible Minister Liu Jian advised him, but Wuzong refused to accept it. Tao Xie, the censor Zhao You and others participated in this article to impeach the "Eight Tigers", and Wuzong then sent the memorial to the cabinet to discuss. Liu Jian and others persisted very hard. Han Wenwen and Wen Ke, the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, and the ministers of the nine ministers and ministers also complained to the "Eight Tigers" and pointed out their serious consequences. After seeing the "police crying, they did not eat", they sent eunuchs Chen Kuan, Li Rong, Wang Yue and others to the cabinet to discuss the solutions three times a day.
In October 1506, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian and other major officials in the cabinet and Chen Kuan, Li Rong and Wang Yue, the eunuchs of the Sili Prison at that time, discussed the situation inside and outside forcing Wuzong to remove Liu Jin and others. At this critical moment, Shang Jiaofang of the Ministry of Personnel reported the situation to Liu Jin. Liu Jin was shocked and took Ma Yongcheng and others to see Wuzong overnight. He knelt down and couldn't cry, and hit the ground with his head. Wuzong was moved. Liu Jin took the opportunity to sue the eunuch of the Sili Prison Wang Yue, saying: "The one who harmed slaves and others, Wang Yue, was a cabinet minister.
If you want to control entry and exit, you should first leave what you are afraid of. How can you lose a lot of hawks and dogs?" Wu Zong was furious after hearing this and immediately ordered Liu Jin to take charge of the Sili Supervisor, Ma Yongcheng takes charge of the East Factory, Gu Dayong takes charge of the West Factory, and arrested Wang Yue overnight and sent him to the Nanjing Chongjing Army. From then on, all the power was returned to Liu Jin. Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Chen Kuan and others, and the operation to eliminate the "Eight Tigers" failed completely. Liu Jian and Xie Qian left the position one after another. In view of this, Chen Kuan and many important officials wrote memorials to ask for leave many times. Volume 8 of "General History of China"
In early 1507 of the second year of Zhengde, Chen Kuan took leave and returned to his hometown to sweep his father's grave. Emperor Wuzong ordered him to serve as the right-sponsor of Fujian, and Pang Pan, the then governor of Henan, came to visit him. Pang Pan was a tomb letter, and local celebrities also laid an inscription on the tomb. At that time, Chen Kuan hired Dengcuo people in Xinjian at that time to be responsible for worshiping the tomb paths and guarding the hut every year, and hid Le in his home. Unfortunately, due to the changes of the times and construction, only one of the tomb tables and the inscriptions remained, and Daoting, etc., were destroyed one after another from the early to the middle of the 20th century, and Le was also lost.
At the end of the same year, Emperor Wuzong approved Chen Kuan's resignation, and in mind that he was honest and honest, loyal and respectful, he issued a special decree:
The emperor ordered officials, soldiers, civilians, monks, lay people, etc.:
I am the only one who is virtuous and laborious in the court, and there are still praises and praises. It is not just a show of favor, but also the intention of inspiration and persuasion is still there. Chen Kuan, the eunuch of the rituals in the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks for more than 50 years. He was in and out of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of Xiangshan Township, Wanping County, with a total of 50 hectares and ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of Xiangshan Township, Wanping County, with a total of 5 hectares of 42 acres of land. They were supposed to be levied and exempted for the purpose of supplying incense and repairing the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the rank
Order
On the sixth day of the second year of Zhengde
At the same time, Chen Kuan was also given a python robe, jade belt, tooth scepter, copper hat, etc. Soon after, Chen Kuan sent a silk robe together with the gifts and his and his parents' portraits to send them from Beijing to his hometown paradise as a souvenir. When he was sent to the border of Zhanghuban in Shibi and near the edge of the pond in Youxijikou Village, he was deceived. Some of the gifts fell into the hands of others. The only ones delivered to his hometown were silk robe, tooth scepter, copper hat, portrait, etc., and several of them were collected in his family. The bronze hat was lost. The portrait was originally treasured in the home of a clan Shizu. In the early 1960s, when he was sent to Fuzhou for mounting, he was not found, and only the teeth scepter is still treasured. Every year on the 28th day of the second lunar month, the Chen clan in Heaven Village would invite tooth scepter to show solemnity and piety.
Regarding Chen Kuan's official position and a person, Xu Gui, a clerk of the Ministry of Justice, was named Bixin. The people of Yingcheng had a very fair evaluation of him. He suggested that the court "remove the Dongchang, limit the power of the eunuchs, abolish the bad policies, and eliminate all the grievances in the world." Chen Kuan belonged to the Dongchang, and should be among the removal. For this reason, Xu Gui also recommended to the emperor that if he did not dismiss the Dongchang, he should also elect those who are cautious and generous, such as Chen Kuan and Wei Tai, to be appointed. He would still be a minister to share the matter with him." "Taiping could lead to the punishment of the governor of the Fufu Department.
It is also not advisable to use special officials in brocade clothes. I would like to recommend one or two guards in Beijing, and one chief officer of the Ministry of Justice to take care of the matter together... My minister is a little bitch, and the left and right, front and back are all from the Dongchang Preservation Office, and the disaster will inevitably be inevitable. Therefore, instead of dying from this generation, who would die in the court? I would like to behead my ministers and make the words of my ministers. I would send bones to my wife and return to Yingcheng. Even if I die, I will have no regrets even if I die!" See the "History of Ming Dynasty" in "Twenty-Four Histories" from this, it can be seen that Xu Gui recommended Chen Kuan to the court at the risk of beheading.
Chen Kuan's nephew Chen Gui was the grandson of his uncle Daotong. He was born in 1570 in the seventh year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty and lived at 76 years old. He was a Shuntian Juren in 1519 in the Jimao year of Zhengde, and was a Jinshi in 1521 in the year of Xinyi. He served as the Nanjing Censor and Deputy Envoy of Jiangxi Censor.
In 1520, the fifteenth year of Zhengde, Chen Kuan, who had been in the palace for more than 50 years, died in Kyoto at the age of 7. He was buried in Xiangshan, Wanping, Beijing.
Fu 437-15, with a font Ren and a pseudonym Song'an, was from Shunde, Guangdong. He was elected to the palace and hall when he was young. Emperor Xiaozong was initially promoted to the eunuch of the Silijian and later transferred to the garrison of Nanjing. In his later years, he set up a temple in the south of Nanjing City. He planned to live in his old age and asked the emperor to give the emperor the title of "Zhaogong Temple" and "Yongning Temple". A monk went to Zuo Jueyi and was also the leader of Yongning Temple to prepare for sacrifices. Fu Rong died in the first month of the sixth year of Zhengde and was buried in the Yin of Zhaogong Temple in March, right of Yongning Temple.
Zheng Qiang was from Tong'an, Fujian and is now in Xiamen, Fujian. He was born in 1441 in the sixth year of Zhengtong, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, and died in 150 in the third year of Zhengde of Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty. Zheng Qiang was born and was extraordinary. As soon as he was nine years old, he was elected as an eunuch in the inner court and incorporated into the "Inner Hall" to study. In the early years of Tianshun, Emperor Yingzong was restored, and Zheng Qiang was elected as the crown prince of Taishu. In the eighth year of Tianshun, the crown prince succeeded to the throne and became Xianzong. Zheng Qiang was promoted to an internal official because of his service for a long time.
The eunuch was very favored. In the 16th year of Chenghua, Emperor Xianzong changed his position to serve as the chief official in Nanjing. In the 20th year of Chenghua, Zheng Qiang ordered Zheng Qiang to guard Nanjing's military affairs for the construction of the imperial tomb. In the 14th year of Hongzhi, Emperor Xiaozong ordered Zheng Qiang to supervise the construction of the Nanjing Inner Palace. In the 18th year of Hongzhi, when Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, Zheng Qiang served as the eunuch in Nanjing as the eunuch in Nanjing, and the eunuch in the 19th year of Hongzhi, Fu Rong, requested to resign.
Because Fu Rong was four years older than Zheng Qiang, Emperor Zhengde ordered Zheng Qiang to take over the position of eunuch of Fu Rong's Lijian until his old age. He made his brother Zheng Heng's son Zheng Jie the heir, and had three grandsons and one granddaughter. Zheng Jie was a student of Yingtian Prefecture. In May of the fourth year of Zhengde, he was promoted to the Zhongshe Ren. His other two nephews Zheng Rui and Zheng Ren were promoted to the hereditary 100 households of the Jinyiwei in Nanjing to protect Zheng Qiang's tomb 10. Regarding Zheng Qiang's cemetery and the temple of the Tomb Temple, an epitaph was unearthed: "
