    ?

    In the Ming Dynasty, there were twenty-four yamen in the inner court, that is, twelve prisons, four divisions, and eight bureaus.

    ?The functions and powers of these internal affairs offices include customs duties, salt mines, weaving, porcelain, military supplies, palace expenses, and even the construction of some national fortifications.

    It can be said that it was half of the money bag of the Ming court.

    Before the Jiajing Dynasty, the twenty-four yamen were always controlled by the eunuchs in the palace.

    However, ever since Emperor Jiajing came to power and Longhushan was proclaimed the state religion, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.

    The Weaving Bureau, Maritime Safety Bureau, and Salt Mine Supervision were successively controlled by Tianshi Dao.

    In the third year of Wanli, the establishment of Tianshidao Taiyi Pavilion declared that the hot days of the eunuchs and eunuchs were completely over.

    ?Today, four-fifths of all the yamen offices that are in charge of the country's economic lifeline have fallen into the hands of Tianshidao.

    However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and there are still some fat and vacant military and government offices, controlled by eunuchs.

    For example, Tea Masi.

    The current supervisor of the tea horse department is Chai Xuan. He entered the palace at the age of six and worked as a mine supervisor in Tianjin.

    It's no wonder that Li Yan's demon horse Fei Lei was rescued by Chai Xuan's fleet servants.

    It was just a sunny day, and there was a large ship in the port, with a screen covering the outside of the cabin, and there were actors and actresses singing and dancing outside.

    Chai Xuan has a clean face, no beard, a gauze crown, and a white loose cotton gown.  Holding a chilled grape in his hand, he is slapping his thigh and humming along:

    ? Spring is hard to get rid of when there is no chaos

    Suddenly harboring resentment

    I gave birth to Xiao Chanjuan

    Pick a famous door

    Suddenly, thunderous noises came from the horse and boat behind, and the rhythm of Youling's leather drum board broke, and Nana didn't know how to pick it up.

    Chai Xuan also left. He tossed the grapes on the plate sullenly, and glanced at the servants beside him: "Liu Zi, what's going on next? There was a real mess yesterday, I'll let the stableman go and see,  After a night of cleansing, how come it doesn¡¯t work anymore when you get up early in the morning?¡±

    The six sons came over: "Godfather, I went to ask yesterday. Two days ago, the servants caught a sick horse."

    "Oh, there is such a thing."

    Chai Xuan had the impression that when he glanced at it from a distance, the horse's fur was messy, its hooves were trembling, and its lips and teeth were spitting blood.

    Liu Zi continued: "Since this sick horse entered the stable, it may have brought in some disease, plague, and the horses on the horse boat in the back neighed day and night, and did not eat any fodder"

    When Chai Xuan heard this, he became impatient: "Absurd! Trash! We bet on a tribute horse that came to Beijing. It really made this poor horse sick. How many heads do you have?! Why don't you ask someone to kill that plague horse?"  Walk!"

    The six sons made Chai Xuan shrink his neck: he hurriedly said, "I took the horse away last night, and took the sick horse to the bottom of the side cabin. It stands to reason that nothing happened, and the horse stopped."

    Only then did Chai Xuan calm down: "Ask the servants to look again. By the way, my horse "Jade Rouge" is not in the same boat as that bad horse, yo, no, I have to look."

    The jade rouge in Chai Xuan's mouth was a precious horse given to him by chieftain Gan Ning when he first took office.

    He has raised Jade Rouge for seven years, and he loves this horse Jade Rouge very much on weekdays, and he loves his daughter no more than that. He is all counting on this horse to pay tribute, to please the emperor, and to be able to transfer himself back to the capital to work.  Difference.

    As he spoke, he stood up, picked up his shoes and walked out.  He bumped into the pale-faced stablekeeper who came in from outside.

    "My lord, my lord, my lord, forgive me! My lord, forgive me!"

    When the horse breeder saw Chai Xuan, he knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

    Chai Xuan took a deep breath, bumped away from the actor who was singing, walked over a few steps, and tugged at the stable boy's neck: "What's wrong!"

    The stablekeeper's teeth were clenched: "I, I didn't catch any of them. The strange horse that the officers and soldiers caught up killed our family's Tiger Roar, Fourteen Zhu, all of them."

    Hu Pao and Fourteen Zhu are all horse names, and they are the best horses in this batch of tribute horses. Chai Xuan almost lost his breath when he heard it, and he viciously pinched the horseman's neck: "Where's my jade rouge?  Where is the jade rouge!"

    "Jade, Jade Rouge"

    The stable boy hesitated to speak.

    Chai Xuan threw the groom away, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Let the boat go! Let me go! ???

    Some soldiers from the government office put down the grasshopper boat, and Chai Xuan led the people to hurriedly board the horse boat behind

    The reason for this is also simple. When the demon horse Feilei was caught, he was poisoned by the demon, cold and hungry, so he naturally looked sick.

    ? The family of the stable stablekeeper has several generations of horse groomers. When he saw this sickly strange horse on the boat, he thought it was good at the time.

    Although the soldiers and officials on the ship didn't take it seriously, he took the horse to the stable to take care of it and feed it. Slowly, Fei Lei also got better.

    It is strange to say that since Feilei entered the carriage, the tribute horses immediately screamed miserably, and top famous horses such as Tiger Pao and Fourteen Zhu were also restless.

    Last night, the stableman got an order, saying that the firewood supervisor on the boat ahead was blaming him, and told him to calm down Gongma.  In desperation, he had no choice but to stuff Fei Lei into the cramped cabin.

    Nothing happened at night, but who would have thought that Fei Lei would suddenly go berserk early in the morning, and even a dozen soldiers couldn't stop him, so he rushed into the carriage and killed several tribute horses by kicking them to death.  As soon as he got out, the horseman almost paralyzed from fright, and hastily reported to Supervisor Chai.

    When Chai Xuan got on the horse boat and saw the scene on the boat, he almost lost his breath.

    There were seven or eight horses lying in a pool of blood on the boat. A large piece of flesh was missing from their necks. They were bloody and bloody. They were obviously dead, and the rest of the horses were driven out of the spacious and comfortable carriages.  , fled across the deck in chaos.

    The huge horse carriage was in a mess, the trough was kicked over, the soft grass collapsed, and the black-haired demon horse Feilei neighed with its head high.

    It pressed on Yu Rouge's body, its eyes were red, two jets of white air came out from its nostrils, and its hind legs couldn't stop moving. The snow-white and handsome Yu Rouzhi wailed twice from time to time, but it was firmly held down by Fei Lei, and it couldn't move.  no.

    "I killed you bastard!"

    Chai Xuan's brain became hot, he took the firecracker from the soldier's hand, and aimed at the strange horse. When he touched the fuse, Fei Lei seemed to have sensed something, snorted suddenly, raised his hooves to avoid the gunshot, and roared wildly.  Rush to the crowd!

    Soldiers and generals from left and right swarmed up, this Feilei was quite afraid of the officers and soldiers, but he was extremely cunning, dodging the generals' horseshoes, dashing left and right, dozens of officers and soldiers and two hundred households could not catch it.

    Chai Xuan worked as a supervisor in the southwest. He had ridden a horse and shot a gun. He was not considered weak.  The demon horse suddenly said: "Don't hurt him, don't hurt him."

    The soldiers on the boat became more and more surrounded, Fei Lei became anxious, and several soldiers vomited blood from the horse's hoof, and two hundred households were hitched by the ropes one after another, but Fei Lei swayed and tore the rope, but it was  Can't hold him.

    More than a hundred officers and soldiers were able to surround Fei Lei, but in the end it was the stable boy who came, with tears streaming down his face. When Fei Lei saw the stable boy, he hesitated for a while, his ferociousness had just subsided  , was caught by more than a dozen hooks and locks again and again by the soldiers, so there was no room for resistance.

    Regardless of the danger, Chai Xuan stepped forward to look at Fei Lei carefully, and even lifted Fei Lei's mouth with his hand, almost preventing him from biting off his finger.

    "Good horse! Good horse!"

    Chai Xuan circled around Fei Lei.

    "Eyes like brown gold, red mouth and dragon cheeks, Fang Yang's ears are tight, and he looks like he is riding on snow with dark clouds! Okay, okay."

    Chai Xuan danced and danced for a while, then came back to his senses and pointed at the horseman: "I want to reward you well, you picked up ten thousand taels of gold for me."

    Before the stableman had time to speak, officers and soldiers came over suddenly: "Master Supervisor, someone is visiting you with a gift."

    "Oh? Who is it?"

    Chai Xuanzheng was happy.

    "It's the Governor of Zuo Si from Daningwei. He passed by here on business. He said that the dark horse we caught two days ago belongs to him."

    Chai Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and he looked at the six sons.

    The six sons hurriedly replied: "Godfather asked his servants to do it, and his men caught the horse and reported it to the county government in Jiaozhou."

    "Bastard! Trash!"

    Chai Xuan was furious, and slapped Liu Zi on the face. After being beaten, Liu Zi didn't dare to cover it, so he bowed his head softly.

    "This, this, this"

    Chai Xuan raised his eyes and saw that the boat was full of his own soldiers and servants, and the entanglement on his face gradually calmed down.

    Then he nodded his head pretending to be calm, and then said to the soldier who reported: "Let Li Zhenfu wait for a while, and the officer will arrive later." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
