Take a look at the old ministers of Xingdi who came to Beijing with Emperor Jiajing. Isn't that prosperous, rich and powerful
Let's take a look at Lord Jinyiweilu, who is in the midst of the sky, what kind of benefits this brings from the function of the dragon, isn't that right in front of us
The hundreds of officials present, as well as more than a thousand civil officials guarding outside the palace gate, responded one after another, and went around to summon people, unexpectedly quickly summoning thousands of people.
Finally, except for Xia Yan leading a thousand people to guard in front of the palace, monitoring each other with the people of Xungui and Dongchang, the others, under the leadership of Zhai Luan, went straight to the imperial horse guard!
Those who rushed towards the imperial horse guard were officials wearing official uniforms with swords in arms, as well as family members of various families, and some were government officials of various yamen, soldiers of soldiers and horses, etc., various costumes, miscellaneous, and mighty. Go to the Imperial Horse Supervisor.
Outside the imperial horse guard, he was also heavily guarded, and Meng Zhong was standing in front of the door with a horizontal sword, behind his back with his half-high bow!
Yumajian, one of the "twenty-four yamen", the director of the agency called the "Yomajian eunuch", the fourth grade. The original function of the imperial horse supervisor was to manage the imperial imperial horses and the fine horses that were paid tribute by foreign countries. Later, the admiral of the West Factory became the two eunuch institutions of "one man and one military" together with the "supervisor of courtesy". "Records of Emperor Ming Taizu" records that in the first year of Wu, an imperial horse department was set up to take charge of the imperial stable horses, and the rank was the fifth grade. In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu redesigned the internal court institution, expanded the original nine supervisors to twelve, and added four divisions and eight bureaus, which were also called "Twenty-Four Yamen", and the rank was also upgraded to the fourth grade.
The horse superintendent has one eunuch, a supervising eunuch, and an admiral eunuch. There are supervisors, chiefs, diaries, writers, etc., and they are in charge of horses and elephant houses in the Siwei Camp.
As the supervisor of the imperial horse is in charge of the imperial horses, there are naturally horse-raising and training personnel, and a forbidden army led by the imperial imperial horse was born.
During the Xuande reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, the forbidden army was officially named "Yulin Three Thousand Households", and it was directly under the leadership of the emperor.
The imprisoned army of the imperial horse guard had a constant number of 1,000 at the beginning of Yongle Zhong. In the sixth year of Xuande, the imprisoned army had 3,100 men, and it was given the formal name "Habayashi Three Thousand Households". Two years later, the expanded group of people was organized into four guards, Teng Xiang and Wu Xiang, and the number has reached 20,000.
During the Chenghua reign of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, in order to strengthen the rule of secret agents, the "West Factory" was established, and the admiral was Wang Zhi, who was the eunuch at the time. Since then, the Imperial Horse Supervisor has not only managed the imperial horses, military talisman, and "three thousand households", but also supervised the West Factory and became the two eunuch institutions with one text and one military together with the "supervisor of courtesy". The imperial horse supervisor, the Ministry of War and the governor jointly held the military handle, which was actually the "hub house" of the inner court.
At the same time, the Imperial Horse Supervisor also managed the pastures and imperial estates, operated the imperial stores, and managed finances with the households, and was the "internal steward" of the Ming court.
Collecting financial power, military power, and even arrest and trial, the Imperial Horse Supervisor has thus become a huge force that does not let Dongchang, Jinyiwei, or even override it.
After Sun Hong entered the imperial horse guard, after many operations, the imperial horse guards of Hongzhi and Zhengde were reorganized into four guards and warriors camp, with more than 40,000 people. Since then, the Imperial Guard has become an important force that can control the imperial city and even the entire world situation.
The status and role of the imprisoned soldiers under the command of the Imperial Horse Prison in the entire Beijing army is very important.
Ning Jin, the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor between Hongzhi and Zhengde, once declared: "Tengxiang and other four-guard warriors' flag army was set up by the ancestors in order to prepare for the surrender of the guards. The name is "raising horses."
Xu Jin, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Zhengde era, also believes: "Although the name of a warrior raises horses, he is actually forbidden, and it is of great importance to guard against rape and abuse."
Commanding the imprisoned soldiers gave the imperial horse prison a special status among the yamen of the inner court. It was not only the basis for the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty to participate in military and political affairs, but also enabled the imperial horse prisoner to gradually possess various military functions, and was regarded as a military position in the inner court. yamen.
Therefore, any emperor ascended to the throne will win over the imperial eunuch to consolidate the throne. Sun Hong was a savvy man, he knew how to behave, and he didn't provoke right and wrong. Therefore, the emperors didn't dislike him even if they didn't say that they trusted him. That's why Sun Hong has been able to stand tall until today.

"Hey! In the inner courtyard of the palace, in front of the imperial horse guard! Who dares to be presumptuous!" Meng Zhong shouted when he saw another crowd of people coming in.
He only heard a sound of "boom", it was the sound of shooting arrows and bows. In front of the imperial horse guard, a row of archers had pointed the flashing arrows at them to snatch—or called the rescue of the prince’s men and horses. .
Seeing this situation, the people led by the civil servants did not dare to move rashly. Zhai Luan came out more and more loudly, "I'm here to see Sun Hong, let him come out!"
"Grandpa Sun is in a state of illness, so I won't see any guests at this time!" Meng Zhong said blankly, "See you if you have something to do, come back tomorrow!"
"In that case, it doesn't matter if you see him or not, please invite the prince out!" Zhai Luan shouted again.
"The prince is appreciating the tribute royal horse in the camp. When he has seen enough, he will naturally come out!" Meng Zhong also shouted.
"The emperor is assassinated and his life and death are unknown. How can the prince look at the horse with ease?" Zhai Luan saw that Meng Zhong was just shirking, and he was furious. I'm about to rush in!"
"Come in?" Meng Zhong sneered: "As far as you guys are concerned, I don't want to see enough, hum, dare to attack the imperial horse guard, attack the emperor's army, it can be regarded as a rebellion! I will kill on the spot, and it will also involve the nine races. Who of you dare to step forward!"
Seeing the left and right, Zhai Luan was a little frightened, and couldn't help being furious. He straightened his chest and shouted: "I am the chief assistant of the court! All behind me are the court commanders! If you dare to hurt one, it is also regarded as a rebellion!"
Zhai Luan took another big step forward, shouting loudly, "You can give this lord a shot!"
Meng Zhong was taken aback, then sneered, took off his big bow like lightning, swish an arrow, wiped Zhai Luan's official boots, and nailed Zhai Luan's toes.
Zhai Luan was startled. He didn't expect that he really dared to shoot. Seeing the still trembling arrow feathers, he couldn't help being furious, and was about to yell at him, but Meng Zhong spoke first and said loudly: "Who dares to cross that? An arrow is considered a rebellion, and I immediately release the arrow, regardless of life or death!"
After Meng Zhong finished speaking, he put a long arrow on the bow. He rode on the horse and sneered with the bow.
This arrogant attitude immediately angered more officials.
Even though Da Ming's civil servants have problems like this, no one is willing to show weakness when it comes to strength of character.
A fifth-rank official with three strands of long beard wearing the white phoenix tonic official uniform, carrying an exquisite sword, rushed out in the first place.
I don't know whether he was trying to perform in front of Shoufu and Baiguan, or he believed that Meng Zhong would definitely not dare to shoot and kill the five-rank imperial court official under the public.
Anyway, he just didn't hesitate to turn back, glaring at Meng Zhong, still cursing, rushing past Zhai Luan with the sword in his hand!
"Boom!"
"Whoo!"
