Eunuchs were regarded as a part of the darkness in the feudal dynasty, they were at the bottom of society, and even ordinary people looked down on them in every way, and did not want to treat them seriously. Most eunuchs are regarded as traitors as soon as they appear, but there are also a few eunuchs who are not limited by their status, but have achieved extraordinary things. For example, the famous Zheng He, with his feat of seven voyages to the West, is known as the first navigator of the Ming Dynasty. There are also some eunuchs, even if they hold great power, they have not changed their original intentions. For example, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty who was in charge of the seal and the commander of Dongchang Chen Ju can be called the most famous eunuch in history. Chen Ju was deeply trusted by the emperor and had a long-term national event.
Because of his conscientiousness and honesty in handling government affairs, he was highly respected by Wenchen, and even after his death, many descendants still went to pay respects. Entering the palace at a young age to become a eunuch was a way for children from poor families in ancient times, and some families would choose to send them to the palace if they could not support their children. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, due to Zhu Yuanzhang's abolition of the prime minister system, eunuchs essentially became an important channel of communication between the emperor and the ministers, and they held actual power to a certain extent. Chen Ju entered the palace under this situation when he was 9 years old, and because of his poor family, he was more sensible than his peers, and understood that this was a good way out.
If they became slaves, they could only serve others on a daily basis, while eunuchs had the opportunity to be educated to become actual holders of power. I don't know if it was Chen Ju's luck or his intelligence and cleverness were appreciated, as soon as he entered the palace, he was assigned to the high-profile celebrant and supervisor, and his future was bright. The celebrant had important responsibilities in the palace and needed to review and issue edicts, which could be said to be a bridge between the emperor and his ministers. Moreover, Chen Ju also got an excellent master, Gao Zhong, who not only taught Chen Ju knowledge and the ability to deal with affairs, but also paid more attention to cultivating family and country feelings.
Under Gao Zhong's teaching, Chen Ju indulged in learning, constantly enriching himself, hoping to achieve great things one day. Gao Zhong's words and deeds had a profound impact on Chen Ju, especially in a foreign invasion, Gao Zhong led the army to resist, and was personally commended by Shenzong, this scene was deeply engraved in Chen Ju's heart. The eunuchs were not without the opportunity to make contributions to the country, and through the cultivation of Gao Zhong, Chen Ju rose to prominence in the court with his intelligence and diligence, and gradually came into contact with government affairs. Chen Ju: Chen Ju, a model of Qing officials in the history of the Ming Dynasty, a eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, and a supervisor of Dongchang affairs.
In ancient times, eunuchs generally used their power for personal gain, but Chen Ju was never contaminated with the ugliness of **, but was helpful and even courageous. His moral integrity and efficient work skills earned him the trust of Gao Zhong and he took over important positions. His loyalty and integrity not only make him an excellent **, but also make him a right-hand man in the affairs of the Myojin Sect. Chen Ju assisted Mingshenzong in handling daily government affairs, especially after Zhang Juzheng's death, he took on more responsibilities. During that time, there was a lot of debate in the court about whether the Myojin Sect should have a crown prince.
In order to support her son, Concubine Zheng Guifei took various means, including tampering with the "Boudoir Fan Tushuo" to improve her son's status. However, the Myojin Sect turned a blind eye to this, which led to dissatisfaction between the government and the opposition. One day, the capital ** found a post called "Worrying Hong Discussion", alluding to Zheng Guifei's intervention in national affairs. The Myojin Sect hopes to investigate the matter through the East Factory, but the situation is very complicated, and they are mixed with lies and bribes in an attempt to distort the facts. However, Chen resolutely refused their bribes, and worked impartially in the investigation process to extract confessions from torture.
In the end, Chen Ju successfully found out a scoundrel who blackmailed Concubine Zheng Guifei and did his part to clear up the chaos. Chen Ju's story tells us that even in the dark period of history, there were some shining figures who set a noble example for future generations with their actions. With decisive action, Chen Ju tried to mitigate the impact of the Demon Book case and quickly closed the case. In addition to dealing with the demon book case, Chen Ju's power gradually expanded, and he gradually gained a certain amount of influence in front of the emperor. When the Divine Sect suddenly attacked, no one else dared to interfere, but Chen Ju always persuaded with gentle words.
He was able to speak out to persuade the emperor and strictly restrain his subordinates. During his time in charge of Dongchang, unjust, false and wrongful cases rarely occurred, and the people of Beijing called him "Buddha". The officials also praised him. Chen Ju's life is in the same vein as Gao Zhong, honest and honest, and there has never been a behavior of seeking personal gain. He is never proud and complacent because of his power, and he will never extort ** and the people. Once, when Chen Ju went out to run errands, he passed near his hometown, so he decided to visit his family and worship his ancestors, and he did not disturb the local ** and the people throughout the whole process, which was completely different from other eunuchs who showed their teeth and claws.
Since Chen Ju entered the palace, reading and studying has always been the foundation of his life. Therefore, he found time to recite poetry, paint, and read, and if he did not know his identity, he could have regarded him as a noble scholar. Even after being in a high position and rich in wealth, Chen Ju still maintained a frugal lifestyle and never greedy for pleasure. "The laws of the ancestors and the teachings of the sages" is his lifelong code of conduct. Until he became a person like himself, he influenced more descendants of eunuchs. Chen Ju's legendary experience even continued to the day of his death, once when he was on duty but did not go out, when he was discovered, he was already sitting in the room.
When the Myojin sect heard the news, he ordered that he be buried with the rites of a monk. The Ming Dynasty's ministers were notoriously difficult to please, but Chen Ju won their unanimous praise for his practical actions, and even after his death, he was willing to personally support him in the coffin. As a eunuch, being able to win the recognition of hundreds of officials is really rare in the entire feudal dynasty. Even today, when some people read the chapters of the history of the Ming Dynasty, they will be moved by Chen Ju's life and historical achievements, and take the initiative to worship.
