Shang Ming has been in charge of Dongchang for many years, but he has never seen Fang Yingwu so calm and composed, and he would even make fun of his criminals. If something goes wrong, it will be a monster. With his cautious and perfect character, he can't help but accept it a little bit.
Arrogant, he asked: "What do you mean by this?"
From this subtle point, we can see the difference between the West Factory and the East Factory during the Chenghua period. Eunuch Wang's West Factory arrested and beat officials whenever they asked. He was domineering and unscrupulous. He was the emperor's minions everywhere and was a pioneer in anti-corruption.
It was a sign. Even Fang Yingwu received two sticks (plus a slap) for not paying attention.
Dongchang, headed by Shang Ming, was relatively low-key in the court. It mainly focused on extorting civilians and wealthy businessmen, and rarely had trouble with officials and powerful people. It was a model of making a fortune in silence. Of course, this also led to the emperor preferring to use "more capable"
"The West Factory is located next to the West Factory, while the East Factory is located under the West Factory.
However, Fang Yingwu did not speak bluntly when asked by the factory governor Shang. He only replied: "Shang Gong might as well send someone to Zhenfu Division and Xichang to ask. I think he will know after asking." Shang Ming thought for a moment and quickly sent someone.
The confidants separately went to Fusi of Jinyiwei Town to inquire and to Xichang for instructions.
After waiting for a long time, the person who went to the Zhenfu Division replied: "I went to the Zhenfu Division to see Commander Wan, but he ignored him and avoided talking about the case."
After a while, the people who went to the West Factory also replied: "I didn't get anything from the West Factory. Wang Gong refused to see me. He was extremely rude and didn't take my East Factory seriously!"
Shang Ming had no time to be angry, he was just very suspicious. With his experience of being a factory guard, he could certainly tell that there must be something strange in it. No wonder the case went around in circles and finally fell to the East Factory. It wasn't that Jin Yiwei and West Factory suddenly
It's generous to delegate power, but they probably don't want to get involved in trouble.
Matters involving the emperor are definitely no small matter, and it is absolutely right to be cautious and cautious. The question is where is the trouble? Shang Ming scratched his head and couldn't guess it.
Eunuch Shang, who has always been conceited and thoughtful, couldn't help sighing. Could it be that his IQ has dropped sharply since he borrowed a seed to raise a godson? After all, the person who untied the bell must tie the bell, so Eunuch Shang also rushed to the prison to prepare.
The condom friendship revealed the inside story from Fang Yingwu’s mouth.
But they saw Fang Yingwu curled up and lying on his side on the wooden bed, with his back to the cell door, waving his hands and saying loudly: "The factory master comes to the stage. I am a prisoner. We are suspicious of each other and it is inconvenient to see each other! Please go back!"
Eunuch Shang secretly cursed a few words and turned around to leave. There are too many such noble scholars. When meeting them, the factory guards are like hiding from garbage, fearing that they will be stinky as soon as they come into contact. When meeting such people, they can't even say a word.
There’s no need to waste your words. If you talk too much, you’ll be asking for humiliation!
Hearing the sound of footsteps receding in the distance, Fang Yingwu suddenly turned over and sat up, staring at the cell door, speechless. He was just posing, so why did Eunuch Shang really leave? He didn't even understand the tactic of playing hard to get.
What?
The Admiral of Dongchang is so cowardly, no wonder he is so bad!
Of course, Eunuch Shang didn't understand what Fang Yingwu was thinking. When he walked out of the prison, his entourage asked: "Where to go next?" Eunuch Shang then ordered: "Go to Commander Wan's Mansion!"
"No, Mr. Factory!" the attendants on the left and right shouted softly.
In terms of history, Jin Yiwei is naturally older than Dongchang, but Dongchang was established to suppress and control Jinyiwei, so in the factory guard system, Dongchang has a higher status than Jinyiwei. Sometimes he even acts as a superior.
What's more, according to the custom, the admiral of the East Factory is also served by the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of the ceremonial department. In terms of political status, it is almost equivalent to that of the cabinet bachelor in the civil service system. Under normal circumstances, the status of the factory governor is far beyond that of the commander of the third-rank Jinyiwei.
Therefore, if Admiral Dongchang has something to do, theoretically he can summon the Commander of the Jinyiwei to inquire; if the Admiral of Dongchang comes to visit the Commander of the Jinyiwei in person, it would be tantamount to losing his own dignity. It would be like a cabinet bachelor taking the initiative to visit a
Being like a servant can only be an extraordinary act at an extraordinary moment.
No wonder Shang Ming's followers screamed and dissuaded him. This is the principle of the master humiliating his ministers to death. Who can watch his master wronging him and remain indifferent?
Looking at the sad and angry expressions on the left and right, Shang Ming sighed helplessly. The theory is a theory, but reality is reality after all. There is no Ming Dynasty law that says that Dongchang is higher than Jinyiwei, it is just tradition and unspoken rules. But once it happens
When it comes to stronger unspoken rules, we have no choice but to bow our heads.
To put it bluntly, who is stronger or weaker in the factory guard system only depends on one thing - who has a closer relationship with the emperor. Today, let alone the arrogant Xichang, Nawang is simply like the illegitimate son of the emperor, doing whatever he wants.
No one cares about the nonsense; it is just that the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Wantong, is not simple, but the biological brother of Wan Guifei, who is the favorite of the Sixth Palace.
To put it bluntly, it sounds incredible that an old woman like Concubine Wan Guifei can be half the emperor, but it is true. As a father-in-law, Shang Ming, even though he has the advantage of being close to the inner palace, cannot compare to Wan Guifei.
The concubine’s biological brother?
Therefore, as the dignified Eunuch Bingbi, the Chief of Ceremonies, and the Admiral of the East Factory, Eunuch Shang was not only treated as a grandson by the West Factory, but also became more and more vulnerable to Commander Wan of the Jinyi Guards. If he did not break the rules to visit, he would be able to talk to Commander Wan.
Can you get anything useful in it?
Admiral Dongchang came to visit in person. Naturally, Wantong didn't take it seriously. He went out to greet him and said, "Eunuch Shang came all night long. It's disrespectful and disrespectful to welcome him from afar!" He then invited Shang Ming to come into the room, served tea, and asked: "Fang Ming."
What do you have to do with me? You can just write a letter and give me instructions, so there is no need to come in person."
Shang Ming asked about Fang Yingwu. Wantong laughed and said, "The factory owner doesn't know. There is indeed something secret about Fang Yingwu..." Shang Ming was shocked after hearing this.
I think the emperor made a mistake, but this is a bit tricky. It's really a hot potato!
If the attack is successful, Fang Yingwu is not easy to mess with, and the people behind him are not weak, and he is also the core figure who stirs up public opinion. Once all the officials in the outer dynasty unite to fight, the emperor may have no choice but to take advantage of him in order to calm things down.
The factory pushed it out and sacrificed it.
If you treat it negatively...you must know that you are not a joke. The emperor asks you, a slave, to do things, but you can't do it, then you can die. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. The emperor's heart is the most unpredictable.
A single change can turn everything upside down.
Wantong lowered his head and took a sip of tea, leaving Shang Ming stunned for a while, "Actually, Fang Yingwu's matter is a trivial matter, just let Xichang take care of it..."
Shang Ming's eyes flashed and he looked at Wantong. The focus of his words just now was not "taking care of" but "Xichang". What did he want to do?
The commander of the Jin Yiwei, Wantong, chuckled and said: "What? Nowadays, when people talk about factory officials, they all know that he is from the west factory. Don't you think you are a coward from the east factory? But don't worry, it's hard to say whether it will succeed or not, but if you want to stand up,
If you are in an invincible position, that’s no problem.” (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
