Chapter 155: Eunuch Wang's layout (seeking a monthly ticket)
Fang Yingwu was domineering in the lobby of the Yulin Guard Office for a long time, clamoring to beat more than 40 people. The time seemed to have reached noon, but Master Peng, the commander of the guard post, still did not show up. Only the guard
Master Xue, who was in charge of the government, supported him hard.
This is not because Commander Peng is not in the guard office, on the contrary, he is in the office at the moment, but Commander Peng is receiving an important guest.
This guest is Zhang Xia, the eunuch guarding Yansui. Eunuch Zhang also arrived at the guard office in the morning, but he was not as high-profile as Fang Yingwu. Instead, he came in quietly through the back door without attracting the attention of outsiders. Eunuch Zhang
The reason for coming is very important, so Commander Peng can no longer take care of the countermeasures.
When he heard that Xue Zhenfu sent someone to report that Fang Yingwu had come to his door, Mr. Peng just waved his hand and said, "I understand." That Fang Yingwu was just a young man who relied on the governor to get his ambitions. Compared with the big things,
Not really.
Eunuch Zhang said calmly: "This time Duke Wang was ordered to patrol the border, and the focus was on Yansui. He urgently needed to recruit available people locally, so he sent me a letter to inquire. I thought you were pretty good, so I recommended you to
Eunuch Wang, this is an opportunity for you."
Commander Peng was quite excited when he heard this. He was able to manage the newly established Yulin Guards in an orderly manner in just a few years, but he did not have outstanding military exploits. Therefore, he felt that he still had some talent, but lacked some channels to reach the sky.
Military attachés are different from civil servants. The civil service system has developed over nearly a hundred years and has already formed a complete set of rules based on the imperial examination.
Even if a scholar does not have any connections, as long as he follows the rules, such as good test scores, he will still have the opportunity to rise to the top.
However, the rules of promotion for military attachés are far less regular than those for civil servants. If you have a way, it only takes a few days to go from sixth grade to second grade. If you don't have a way, you will always be a subordinate. Even hard currency such as military merit has its tricks.
Therefore, Commander Peng was inevitably very excited when he heard that he had the opportunity to join the hot eunuch Wang's career. As long as eunuch Wang made a few recommendations to the emperor, there would be no difficulty in continuing to move forward.
With this thought in mind, Commander Peng was not interested in taking any action when Fang Yingwu came to cause trouble. He understood clearly what was more important, and the top priority was to have a careful talk with Eunuch Zhang first, rather than being distracted by flies.
However, Fang Yingwu seemed to be kicking his nose and face. Commander Peng had a chat with Eunuch Zhang, and then a sergeant followed Xue Zhenfu's order to send a message: "Master Peng! That scholar Fang is going to the room to unveil the tiles."
, I want to openly slap the boards of more than 40 people in the Guard House in front of the Zhenfu Division Hall!"
Commander Peng was so angry that he almost cursed. Is this Fang Yingwu so shameless? How old is he to dare to go out and beat people in the guard office? I really think that he, Commander Peng, is a man who can be manipulated.
Soft persimmon?
Eunuch Zhang frowned when he heard this. Youfang Yingwu kept making trouble in front of him, making it difficult for Commander Peng to concentrate on talking to him.
This was not the solution anyway, so Eunuch Zhang took the initiative and said to Commander Peng: "You might as well go to the front and send that person away first. I'm not in a hurry here. I can wait for you slowly today."
After hearing this, Commander Peng got up and went to the front office. Surrounded by several soldiers, he came down to the Zhenfu Division Hall. Sure enough, he saw a noisy crowd in front of the hall. Dozens of people had gathered here. The scene was very messy.
Fang Yingwu was leading several officers and soldiers standing on the steps, shouting and scolding the crowd unceremoniously, but the crowd didn't agree with him. As for Xue Zhenfu, he stood aside numbly, completely helpless.
.
Commander Peng couldn't stand it any longer and quickly walked up the steps. The other party responded with a cold snort: "You are so majestic!"
Fang Yingwu turned around and smiled, "Following Futai's instructions, I came to inquire about the case. I have offended many things. Please forgive me, Mr. Peng."
Commander Peng was still anxious to go back to the inner office to have a detailed talk with Eunuch Zhang. He had no intention of talking nonsense with Fang Yingwu here, and ignored Fang Yingwu's greetings. He said directly: "The state has national laws, and every family has its own rules. Since you want to work in this guard
To investigate the case, please transfer the document to me, and then get my permission. There is no reason for you to be pretentious!"
Seeing Commander Peng accusing him of acting illegally, Fang Yingwu also stopped smiling and said with a very serious expression: "One of the Tatar envoys is missing, which is of great concern! I really don't know who will be involved in this case, so we can't treat it as a routine matter.
.”
As long as you are not stupid, you can understand the meaning behind Fang Yingwu's words - who knows whether Mr. Peng is involved in this case?
But in the eyes of Commander Peng, Fang Yingwu was just pretending. This matter is nothing serious. Fang Yingwu was narrow-minded and deliberately took this opportunity to find trouble. What he said was high-sounding, but it was almost the same as frame-up and slander. It was too low-key.
Got it!
He said cheerfully: "Do you dare to suspect that I am involved in this? How ridiculous! You are just using the topic to your advantage, catching wind and shadow, and trapping people in a trap. There is no need to worry about incriminating someone!"
One was the commander of the guard station, and the other was the envoy sent by the governor. The two sides refused to give in to each other, and their words were fierce and tit-for-tat. The situation suddenly became extremely tense. The rest of the people did not dare to say a word, and the scene suddenly became silent.
Fang Yingwu didn't seem to want to have a verbal dispute with Commander Peng here, so he faced the crowd again, pointed at someone at random, and ordered the sergeant of the governor's Biao camp he had brought with him: "Since he refuses to confess, let's start with him!
"
When the situation has developed to this point, how can Commander Peng let Fang Yingwu take action?
Fang Yingwu clearly wanted to use his power to bully others. If Fang Yingwu, a man with no serious position, really slapped dozens of his own people in front of him, then he, the commander of the guard post, would be really shameless.
I can't lift my head anymore.
Calling him a coward or a coward is an understatement. Fundamentally speaking, a guard station is still a military organization. How can we run an army without prestige? Therefore, Commander Peng cannot retreat, not even half a step.
"Who dares to take action!" Commander Peng shouted loudly, and Fang Yingwu, who was very close to him, felt something deafening.
Commander Peng didn't care about Fang Yingwu's feelings. He felt that he was too talkative just now, so he continued to speak domineeringly: "If anyone wants to keep their eyes open here, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Finally, Commander Peng turned to Xue Zhenfu and told Xue Zhenfu, "Call the Yazhong sergeants and wait for my orders!"
Fang Yingwu stared at Commander Peng, gritted his teeth and said, "Master Peng must stop me from investigating this case?"
Commander Peng said disdainfully: "What is your identity? Let me tell you clearly. Of course you are not allowed."
Fang Yingwu didn't wait for Commander Peng to finish speaking, then said in a deep voice: "If Master Peng is not allowed to investigate the case, then I will take my leave!"
After that, Fang Yingwu didn't say anything about the situation, and walked down the steps directly towards the gate of the guard office.
Commander Peng looked at Fang Yingwu's back with a little doubt.
He knew very well that Fang Yingwu wanted to use the topic today and wanted to slap him in the face. But why did he leave in despair after being scolded by him for a few words?
Commander Peng knew that Fang Yingwu was very eloquent and thought that he would have to linger here for a long time and maybe use force to drive him away. But he didn't expect that he left so happily. He just showed off his muscles and he said nothing.
Not to mention getting out, this is quite surprising.
But Commander Peng didn't have time to think too much. Eunuch Zhang was still waiting for him. He had to seize the time to discuss Wang Zhi's matter with Eunuch Zhang in detail.
Fang Yingwu came out of the Weisuo Yamen with a very calm expression, as if nothing had happened. He returned directly to the Governor's Office, but met Master Cui at the gate.
It seemed that Mr. Cui had just come back from outside. Fang Yingwu smiled and cupped his hands and asked, "Where did Mr. Cui go?"
Master Cui smiled bitterly, "Didn't the imperial court get approval, so we can contact the Tatar envoys? I just went to the mansion on behalf of my employer and wanted to meet the envoys first.
Who knew that when I got there, the officers and soldiers guarding the mansion would not let me in, saying that they had orders from above that no one was allowed to receive the Tatar envoy before the imperial envoy arrived."
This imperial envoy probably refers to Wang Zhi. Fang Yingwu sighed: "It seems that Eunuch Wang has made plans in advance. The people guarding the mansion are all sergeants of the guard. There is a lot of inside information here."
Master Cui nodded in agreement. This was so obvious. Fang Yingwu guessed last night that eunuch Wang would recruit Commander Peng. He didn't think much about it at the time and was still suspicious. Unexpectedly, it immediately became a reality. Without the support of the eunuchs, guarding the mansion would be impossible.
Will the sergeant dare to refuse the governor?
Fang Yingwu added: "Regarding the affairs of the Beilu, Yansui Town already has Yang Futai in charge of the overall situation, and the imperial court also sent an imperial eunuch. It is really unnecessary."
Master Cui was also helpless about this, "The imperial court has always been like this. No matter where it is, there must always be checks and balances, and they will never allow one family to become dominant."
Fang Yingwu knew that Master Cui was right. The Ming Dynasty system was based on this idea. For example, at the beginning, each province was divided into three divisions: Bu, Press, and Zhi, just to check each other.
However, because the situation was too troublesome, a governor was added, but he was worried that the governor would be too dominant, so he set up a garrison officer. In addition, there were patrol censors nearby to control the situation. In the army, the guards were responsible for the affairs, the camp soldiers, and the supervisory army.
It’s not like they are restricting each other.
Specific to the current matter, it is a very sensitive issue. Some people are worried that Governor Yang will not grasp it well and do something that will humiliate the country or make great achievements, so it is not surprising that he insists on sending another eunuch as the imperial envoy. Of course, there are also Wang
The reason why Zhi was obsessed with side work and wanted to come over to pick peaches.
Fang Yingwu and Master Cui talked as they walked, and entered the hall together to see Governor Yang, but saw Master Yang holding an official document, frowning and saying nothing.
After the two went in and saluted, Governor Yang put the official document in his hand on the case and said, "The news came from the inn. The eunuch is coming soon. He is only a few days away from Yulin."
Fang Yingwu and Master Cui were both surprised. This eunuch Wang came so quickly. She might have driven hard day and night. It seemed that she was really eager to make a contribution and was afraid of falling behind. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature for more novels.
