    "Yesterday was very busy, but I neglected Doctor Ping. I have specially organized this banquet today to express my feelings." Ping Yizhi has superb medical skills, especially since he has been treating Yang Zijin since she was born. He is the person who knows Yang Zijin's condition best.  It is of great help in treating my daughter's illness.  Therefore, Yang Lianting attaches great importance to Ping Yizhi.  Yang Lianting condescended to you, but Ping Yizhi did not dare to accept it calmly.  Yang Lianting's name is very famous. He has been famous many years ago. Now he is the emperor of heaven, controlling the rise and fall of the world.  But these are too far away and unreal for Ping Yi Zhi, who has a somewhat withdrawn temperament.  As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless.  Ping Yizhi did not have much respect for Yang Lianting because of the title of Emperor of Heaven.  However, Dongfang Bubai is a real and real existence that makes Ping Yizhi scared and frightened, and avoids it for fear of not being able to reach him.  Now, such a terrifying existence is sitting next to Yang Lianting as his wife. ????????? How can you dare to make a big statement even if you have a flat finger?  Hearing this, Ping Yizhi immediately made a deep study and said in fear: "How could Ping Yizhi dare to thank the Emperor of Heaven for such hospitality?" Yang Lianting said: "Doctor Ping is a famous doctor in the world. If Dr. Ping had not prepared the antidote, I would have been killed long ago.  He died of poisoning. Zijin was my daughter, and it was all thanks to Ping Yizhi's careful diagnosis and treatment over the years." After a pause, he said, "I want to appoint Dr. Ping as an academician of Qin Guotai Hospital. What does Ping Yizhi mean?  He was about to refuse, but when he saw Dongfang Bubai smile at him, he immediately swallowed his words, cupped his hands, bent down, and said deeply, "Don't you dare disobey me." He knew Dongfang Bubai  With so many secrets from Yang Lianting, how could he refuse?  Ping Yizhi knew that if it weren¡¯t for his own medical skills, he would be able to cure Yang Zijin¡¯s illness.  Dongfang Bubai had already killed him with one palm.  Now, Yang Lianting has made an invitation. If he dares to refuse, he will probably be thrown into the sea by Dongfang Bubai to feed the fishes, even if his head is not missing.  Although Ping Yizhi was Ren Woxing¡¯s confidant, Ren Woxing was imprisoned by Dongfang Bubai for more than ten years.  Even if there is a chance to return to the world, it is already over.  Even if he is lucky enough to regain the position of leader, he still has no chance of winning against Yang Lianting who has millions of troops.  " Now, it's not like Ping Yi Zhi betrays his trust and betrays me. Faced with the choice of life or death, Ping Yi Zhi naturally knows how to choose.  People under the eaves have to bow their heads.  Unless Ping Yizhi has no fear of death and has the consciousness of being a loyal minister who does not serve his two masters, he chooses to die generously.  But it¡¯s a pity.  He didn't.  Hearing this, Yang Lianting immediately smiled. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Don't use the people who are suspicious.  But when it comes to her daughter's life and safety, Yang Lianting has to be extremely cautious.  If Ping Yizhi rejects him, he might actually throw him into the sea to feed the fishes.  After all, the purpose of taking Ping Yi to Guangdong was to help him treat his daughter's illness in the future.  But Yang Lianting and Dongfang Bubai also had to be wary of Ping Yi Zhi.  If Ping Yizhi harbors alien intentions, wouldn't it be a huge hidden danger that could kill his daughter at any time?  Afterwards, everyone chatted while eating.  After the second round of drinking.  Yue Buqun first looked for topics from Lin Pingzhi, and then intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to "Evil Sword Manual" and "Sunflower Book".  Although I know the biggest secret of "Sunflower Collection".  But Yue Buqun is still obsessed with this martial arts manual that all the leaders of the Huashan Sect have never forgotten.  If he didn't see it with his own eyes, Yue Buqun would never be reconciled.  Of course, Yue Buqun has no plans to practice in the palace now.  However, the Huashan Sect split into two sword sects because of the "Sunflower Book", which had a profound impact on the Huashan School's martial arts, but this also shows that this book is broad and profound.  Even if you don¡¯t practice in your own palace, you may still benefit a lot from it.  Now that he knows that this "Sunflower Book" is in the hands of Dongfang Bubai, how can he remain indifferent?  Yue Buqun sighed and said with regret: "If you want to practice magical skills, you must first commit suicide! How many people in the world have such determination? It is so harsh, no wonder no one has succeeded in it in the past hundred years. It's a pity it's a pity" Dongfang  Bubai curled his lips, glanced at Yue Buqun thoughtfully, and sneered in his heart.  Yang Lianting smiled and said: "Warriors with such determination in the martial arts world are indeed like feathers and horns. But if we count the world carefully, there are many people who commit suicide in the palace every year. Since Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty to the present, there are probably those who commit suicide in private.  Hundreds of thousands." Hearing this, everyone was stunned.  The hair and skin of the body are received by parents and do not dare to be damaged. This is the beginning of filial piety.  He didn¡¯t even dare to damage his hair and skin, let alone kill himself with a knife.  Castration is the most serious punishment besides the death penalty.  If you are not a prisoner of war, then?Not a criminal, that is to say, if it is not enforced, it is not a last resort, a normal person of flesh and blood, who is willing to take that knife?  Yue Buqun just sighed casually, hoping to use this as an excuse to start a conversation.  ¡°Never thought that Yang Lianting would say that there are many such people?  Hundreds of thousands more?  Yue Buqun said in astonishment: "Why did Le'er say this?" Yang Lianting looked at Lin Pingzhi and asked: "Junior brother Lin has lived in the capital for a long time. He should have seen or heard that every year, there are thousands of people who have left the palace.  Are you going to the capital in order to get into the capital?" Lin Ping was stunned and replied: "When my senior brother said this, he remembered that he had indeed heard of such things.  The meaning of the word castration is similar to that of castration, which shows that people were castrated at that time.  However, there is no record of them serving as palace servants.  Records of the use of eunuchs began to appear in the Western Zhou Dynasty. By the Han Dynasty, those who served the emperor were uniformly called "eunuchs" or "eunuchs".  It is said that this name comes from a constellation called "Eunuch" that guards the Emperor of Heaven.  By the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was stipulated that all eunuchs should be eunuchs, and this was the first time that eunuchs ruled on a large scale.  Later, in the late Tang Dynasty, large-scale eunuchs came to power again.  As for the name "eunuch", it first appeared in Liao Dynasty. It was originally the name of a senior government position and was not necessarily held by eunuchs.  By the time of the Ming Dynasty, there were twelve eunuchs and twenty-four yamen in the palace. Those who appointed them were called eunuchs, and they were all appointed by eunuchs.  So "eunuch" became a title for senior eunuchs, and later became a general term for eunuchs.  The phenomenon of self-imposed palace did not start in the Ming Dynasty. It existed in ancient times and has been prohibited in all dynasties.  However, in the Ming Dynasty, there was an unprecedented trend of self-imposed imperialism. It evolved into a social trend and was widely banned.  In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang controlled the inner court very strictly, and eunuchs were unprofitable and not a popular "career".  Therefore, in the Hongwu Dynasty, the trend of self-imposed palace was not strong. Hongwu's "Da Ming Code" only punished the "those who committed the crime", and there was no provision for the punishment "itself".  When Zhu Yuanzhang was on the throne, there were only a few hundred eunuchs in the palace. However, since Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system, subsequent emperors have trusted the eunuchs intentionally or unintentionally, forming a unique power distribution situation among imperial power, eunuch power, and cabinet power.  In the late Yongle period, with the expansion of eunuch power and the rise of status, the trend of seclusion in the palace obviously became more and more intense.  The number of eunuchs in the imperial palace increased sharply over the years from the few hundred in the Hongwu Dynasty. The number of eunuchs in the palace increased from thousands to tens of thousands and finally exceeded one hundred thousand.  The ban was issued by the emperor, but it was not strictly enforced. The emperor himself even made an exception and hired people who wanted to join the palace.  Zhu Houzhao once recruited 3,460 people from tens of thousands of self-employed people to form a "pure army", which satisfied his addiction to becoming a general.  Not only do the imperial palaces need a large number of eunuchs, various vassal palaces, princess palaces, and even wealthy families also recruit eunuchs privately.  Where there is demand, there is a market, and where there is a market, there is supply.  Especially among the eunuchs, Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi, Li Guang, Liu Jin and other powerful eunuchs appeared one after another. The eunuchs were so favored that the ignorant people regarded them as examples and castrated their descendants in order to gain wealth.  Neo-Confucianism was prevalent in the Ming Dynasty, and Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was regarded as the ruling ideology.  "Preserve the principles of nature and destroy human desires" is one of the important views of Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism.  However, when people in this world pursue fame and fortune, they are "seeking wealth and honor, and cutting off their Yang roots."  It¡¯s ridiculous and sad.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  The later eunuch Wei Zhongxian was originally a rogue. He fought fiercely with others and wielded a knife from the palace. Later, he begged to enter the palace and became "nine thousand and nine hundred years old".  Later generations calculated based on the historical data left behind that there were hundreds of thousands of self-employed people wandering around in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.  In addition, those who have been employed in the past dynasties and those who have been privately adopted by princes, princesses, and wealthy families in various places, in the end of the Ming Dynasty, the number of people who wielded swords from the palace may not be less than a million.  Hearing Yang Lianting narrate this matter, everyone could not help but be dumbfounded, horrified, and felt incomprehensible and incredible.  Yang Lianting picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and explained the reason in one sentence: "Where there is profit, people will flock to it." More than a million people wielded their swords from the palace and went to Beijing to seek advancement. This may sound unbelievable to some people, but fame and wealth are indeed true.  There is this attraction.  Just like the annual civil service examination in later generations, with more than a million applicants vying for the first place, it is also unbelievable to people in Western countries.  Different eras, different identities, different methods, but what they pursue is the same.  At this time, Dongfang Bubai suddenly asked: "Brother Lian, is there a "Evil Sword Manual" hidden in the palace?" Hearing this, everyone was startled, and then they all thought of one thing.Anhui took a breath of air.  Yang Lianting frowned and said: "I don't know whether Lin Yuantu was submitted to the palace or not preserved by the palace." After a pause, he shook his head and said: "It doesn't mean that you can practice it since you are in the palace."  Success, martial arts, depends on aptitude." (To be continued)
