The history books record that Huang Xi, a eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, did whatever he wanted under the emperor's favor. There was a trial at the imperial court, and the perpetrator was a relative of his, and he asked to participate in the review. After Shangshu knew the inside story, the interrogation had to be carried out according to his hints.
When Huang Xi was serving in Nanjing, he actually encroached on Luchang and reaped his benefits. The people's land was avalancheed by the water, and it was said that no tax should be paid, but in order to please the imperial court, he still sent a public messenger and used the big stick to force the people to pay taxes, so that the people cried out and were displaced. When local officials found out, no one dared to intervene in impeachment.
But not all officials are so pussy-packed, the most famous of which is Chen Yin. Chen Yin was an official of the Hanlin Academy, an authentic pen holder. He felt that in order for Huang Xi to restrain himself, he must rely on the emperor's strength, so he sent a letter to the emperor, persuading the emperor to summon some Confucian courtiers to the deep palace, including himself, in order to inquire about learning. In fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to meet the emperor alone and show huang xi's deeds one by one. Huang Xi naturally knew, so he privately tried his best to stop it, and Chen Yin could only summon him in vain.
At that time, many officials who had offended Huang Xi were either dismissed or imprisoned, and Chen Yin could not bear it any longer, and sent a piece of music to him, hoping that the emperor would pardon and reuse these people. The emperor specifically asked Huang Xi for this purpose, and Huang Xi was busy telling the emperor that the people listed by Chen Yin were all his friends or relatives, and he was suspected of being a friend in doing so. The emperor was most worried about the chancellor's party, and after listening to Huang Xi's words, he not only did not do what Chen Yin asked, but also called Chen Yin to criticize him fiercely. Huang Xi knew and secretly enjoyed it.
Who knows, what happened soon after made Huang Xi even more stunned.
Huang Xi's mother died, and the emperor ordered officials to pay tribute. Some officials listened and hurried to go, and some officials felt that this was a good time to seduce Huang Xi, not only to go by themselves, but also to organize others to go, such as Xu Qiong of the Hanlin Academy. He was close to Huang Xi on weekdays, and he wanted to use this to show his kindness to Huang Xi, so he wanted to organize the entire Hanlin Academy to go.
When he asked Chen Yin to go with him, Chen Yin stared at him and said fiercely, "We are all the emperor's attendant officials, and now baba is running to seduce a eunuch. Xu Qiong's face turned red as he said this, and he slipped away.
Afterwards, Huang Xi heard Xu Qiong's report and gritted his teeth fiercely, but he had no choice.
On the night of the dark wind in the middle of a month, Jinyi Wei suddenly took a knife and gun and rushed into Yang Shiwei's home, arrested Yang Shiwei and his wife and children from the bed, tied them with ropes, and tortured them. In the past, when the Jinyi guards did this, no one dared to stop them, because they were spies in the hands of the emperor. This time was the same, Yang Shiwei and his family screamed out in the quiet night, very maddening, but no one dared to show their faces, even the night patrol soldiers and fighters walked around.
When Jin Yiwei was torturing Yang Shiwei, a person's head appeared on the wall over there, and he shouted loudly: "You are arbitrarily binding and hanging the imperial court ministers, are you not afraid of the laws of the country!" Jinyi Wei shouted loudly and intimidated, "What kind of person are you, who dares to block us, aren't you afraid of the people of the West Factory?" "In their minds, when the other party hears the name of the West Factory, they will definitely escape." Who knew that the other party was not only not afraid, but also said that he was Chen Yin of the Hanlin Academy.
It turned out that Chen Yin lived next door to Yang Shiwei, and when he heard screams at night, he couldn't get started, so he climbed up the wall to stop it. Jin Yiwei heard Chen Yin's name, looked at each other, put down the whip, obediently released Yang Shiwei's family, and then quietly withdrew.
It turned out that they had also heard of Chen Yin's name, and they were also afraid of the hard bones of this scholar, which was the only time in the history of Daming Jinyiwei. The Jinyi guards are unscrupulous, but they also have nemesis, which is not a sword and shield, but the courage of a literati without fear.
