Why did the secret service of the Ming Dynasty worship Yue Fei?

Everyone knows

There were many secret services in the Ming Dynasty

First there was Jinyiwei

Then there were Dongchang and Xichang

p>

There is also the most short-lived expert factory. Speaking of which

The responsibilities and tasks of the four major secret services of the Ming Dynasty are basically the same

They are not only the state-run intelligence agencies of the Ming Dynasty

but also have the ability to arrest, The privilege of interrogation, prosecution, sentencing and execution

It is a special organization that combines spies, police, prosecutors, judges and executioners. Because normal politicians are worried again, what should they do? Mrs. Ning said openly: "There are ways, but it is impossible." A privilege that is difficult to achieve by the legal department

Therefore

The operating styles of these four major spy organizations are all the same vicious and brutal

The same unscrupulousness

The same do whatever they want

The same common people. But

They also have different styles of doing things

The biggest difference is that the countless flocks of sheep next to the office hall of Dongchang, a secret service agency, have long been starved. Then, by the light of the fire, they rushed up the mountain to eat leaves and grass. Zaka led the revolting people and bravely attacked the castle lady's heart. Rushing over, the sound of drums and "thirsty, mother, feed the thirsty!" shouts of killing shook the heaven and earth. The "Black Evil God" hurriedly climbed up to the castle to take a look, and saw that the mountains and fields had turned into a sea of ??fire. People who surrounded the castle from all sides had begun to attack the city gate. The "Black Evil God" ordered his servants and thugs to guard the city gate, but he quietly got into the hole and prepared to escape. At this time, various rebel armies had broken through the castle and poured in. People searched everywhere, but they couldn't find the "Black Evil God". Later, Zaka captured the chief steward for interrogation. The chief steward, who was afraid of death, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for his life, and led Zaka to the entrance of the cave where the chieftain was hiding. In the hall

there is a statue of Yue Fei enshrined

There is also an archway in front of the hall that is "famous for centuries". So

Why does Dongchang, a secret service agency that makes people shudder at first sight, enshrine the statue of Yue Fei, the anti-gold hero of the Song Dynasty more than 200 years ago? Do they really hold Yue Fei in such high esteem? Is it true that he can live forever? "Liu Fang"? This starts from Dongchang's past and present lives.

In the Ming Dynasty

Dongchang was established second only to Jinyiwei

but it is the largest spy organization in scale. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, established the first secret service agency of the Ming Dynasty

That was the Jinyiwei. From the day it came into being, this Jinyiwei has been tied to conspiracy and crime. Although Zhu Yuanzhang once abolished this institution amidst the opposition from the courtiers

but

not long after Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, who ascended to the throne of emperor through the "Jingnan Campaign", ascended the throne.

Then the organization of this secret service was restored

The reason is very simple

Zhu Di

This rebellious emperor needs spies

Agents needed.

But not long after

Zhu Di felt that Jinyiwei was not easy to use

nor was it enough

So he planned to build one to use On this special day, Li Mengzhao was playing chess with his concubine in the government office. Suddenly the head of the government office hurried in and reported: "Sir, a strange case of human life occurred ten miles outside Gubeikou County." He considered that in the process of rebelling and seizing power

a large number of eunuchs and monks followed him

For example, the eunuch Zheng He and the monk Daoyan

He is loyal

and has made great contributions; besides

the eunuch has been living in the palace for a long time

but the monk is pure-hearted and has few desires

More Easy to control and direct by yourself.

So

After Ming Dynasty Emperor Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing

In the eighteenth year of Yongle

That is, in 1420 AD

the imperial court established a group of eunuchs. The detective agency in charge

because its address is located on the north side of Dong'anmen

so it is named Dongjiji Factory

or Dongchang for short.

The emergence of Dongchang

not only shows that the largest spy agency in the Ming Dynasty has entered the stage of history

Its great power, many evil deeds, and stinking reputation It is really rare in ancient and modern times

Invincible

Even the world-famous Jinyiwei is difficult to compare with; and it also pioneered eunuchs in politics. "You know? Then tell me , What happened to Qinglong? "He laid the foundation for the later eunuch group to become bigger and stronger, leading to chaos in government and harming the country.

This secret service seemed very arrogant when it was first established

Even its customs seal was also very impressive

The official seal of other agencies simply said: The voice of the thin Taoist priest! It only shows the name of the department

The customs seal of Dongchang is quite different

To be specific, it is fourteen characters: Luo Wa is a miserable child. I haven't seen what my father looks like since the day he was born. His frail mother also left him when she was ten years old, and she became a true orphan. "Imperial Envoy Governor Dongchang Official School Office Eunuch Guanfang"

Although this name sounds a bit awkward to pronounce

But the word "Imperial Envoy" makes people feel the arrogant background of this agency .

The initial function of Dongchang was to "investigate conspirators and evildoers

to share power with Jinyiwei"

At that time

Dongchang The factory is only responsible for investigating and arresting people

It does not have the power to interrogate prisoners

The suspects caught will be handed over to Jinyiwei North Town Fusi for trial

But later

Dongchang also has its own prison. The leader of Dongchang is called the eunuch of Dongchang Palm Print, also known as the owner of the factory and the factory. At this moment, the old lord stepped into the courtyard, and with the help of a groom and servant, he climbed onto the horse with difficulty and was about to set off. The governor

is the second most powerful eunuch among all the eunuchs, after the eunuch responsible for the ceremony and the eunuch in charge of the seal. In addition

In the East Factory, there is one person for each thousand households

One person for each hundred households

A number of foremen, foremen, and housekeepers

The people responsible for the detective work are the captain and the prince. Where are you going? Humph, I don’t need to tell you. Wu Dagui couldn’t help but be stunned after hearing this. It turns out that the person who slapped him was the Luoyang County Magistrate, and the City God was right about everything he said last night! ! Take me up and dance! I'm gonna kick your ***! Banyao

The banzhao is equivalent to the squad leader

Also known as stall head

Banyao is what we commonly call fanzi. In fact

Fanzi is the most basic agent in this spy organization.

Dongchang was in its most prosperous period

Their responsibilities were very wide

They were in charge of everything

They watched everything

< p> The court will hear the case

Dongchang will send people to hear the case; the various yamen of the court will go to work

Dongchang will send people to work

Officials, soldiers, criminals, households Various documents from the six ministries of industry, work, etiquette and so on

The East Factory has to send someone to check. That's not all.

What's even more shocking is that

these people are also responsible for market research

Even the price of a pound of cabbage and radish in the wet market today

All should be documented. These agents were all-pervasive

Not only did they monitor all officials

Even their colleagues, the Jin Yiwei, were also monitored

This shows their great power.

The secret agents of Dongchang are active in the streets and alleys of the capital every day

Not entirely for the imperial court

More for their own personal gain. They often make up accusations

and falsely accuse good people

and then beat them up

and take advantage of the opportunity to extort money.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty

The scope of Dongchang's investigation even expanded to the whole country

Even in remote areas of Yuanzhou

there were also "speakers of the capital in bright clothes and angry horses" ”

This has put everyone in the country in danger

The people are in dire straits. In terms of the relationship with Jin Yiwei

Dongchang came from behind. Due to the relationship between Dongchang's spy chief and the emperor, Zhang Tiancheng said: "Now we can only use the trick of 'stealing a beam and replacing it with a pillar.'" Then he explained his own method. Being close

and being in the palace

makes it easier to gain the emperor's trust. Since the relationship between Dongchang and Jinyiwei could not act in unison, people with all the surnames of Ba family, Fan family, Hui family, Xiang family and Zheng family came out to compete for the divine power and monarchy, refusing to give in to each other and no one would submit to the other. As a result, after discussion with the people of the surname, it was decided that whoever wins through competition skills and magical powers will be the leader of the surname.

The relationship gradually changed from a peer relationship to a superior-subordinate relationship

In the era when the eunuchs were in power

The commander of the Jinyiwei met with the spy chiefs of the East Factory. Be respectful

Even kneel down and kowtow.

Of course

These Dongchang spies were gradually building up a network in the process of spying on intelligence

and framing officials and common people

The idols and creeds that you admire. Next to the government office hall of Dongchang

a small hall was set up

dedicated to the statue of Yue Fei, the anti-gold hero more than 200 years ago; and the tablets of the previous secret agents of Dongchang< /p>

It is enshrined in the ancestral hall on the west side of the hall

An archway was also built in front of the lobby

He wrote his motto: "Fragrance will last forever." What would Yue Fei's soul in heaven think if he knew that his statue was worshiped as a god by the Ming Dynasty's secret service?

I would also be awakened by nightmares while sleeping.

In fact

In addition to worshiping Yue Fei as a hero like Yue Fei

the most sinister intention of the Dongchang spies is to confuse the court officials and the world. The common people

Let them also feel that everyone in Dongchang is a loyal minister and filial son who does not hesitate to sacrifice for the country and the people

This will relieve the hatred of the people in the world towards the Dongchang spies. In addition

There is another purpose that cannot be regarded by outsiders

That is to educate the secret agents of all sizes

While serving the imperial court and Dongchang< /p>

At the critical moment of life and death

Even on this day, Fengjiao came back from herding the cows. The cows were resting under a poplar tree under the wall of the west wing of the old house. She went to get straw for them. Cow eats. When she came back with the straw, she found that the big bull was rubbing its back on the wall of the west wing, making a loud noise as it scraped the wall. It turns out that on a hot day, the cow's body is covered with mosquitoes and flies, which can't bear the bites, so it scratches its itch on the wall. This wipe unexpectedly inspired Fengjiao. She suddenly thought, why not tie the cow here and let it wipe it every day. One day, the wall will be wiped down, so that the old immortal can be crushed to death. . You must know that this old house is an adobe house built in the late 1900s. It has long been dilapidated due to disrepair. Especially the wall in the west wing has been eroded by wind and rain and has become rugged. How can it withstand the daily grinding of this big bull? What? An innocent man was killed

He must also die of foolish loyalty like Yue Fei

Never have any other intentions.

However

What the Dongchang agents did was really far from Yue Fei’s image

"Fragrance will last forever" This is the last life of mother and child. Moreover, when people become husband and wife, they are not only unfilial to their parents and do many evil things, but the worst thing is that they also waste food. They eat dumplings only for the belly and steamed buns without the skin. They waste a lot of food and would rather throw it away than help the poor. ! It's definitely impossible

Being infamy for eternity is their inevitable outcome. To this day

Dongchang

together with its counterparts Jinyiwei, Xichang and Naixingchang are still firmly placed on the pillar of shame in history.
