Now the situation is that the west wind has overwhelmed the east wind. Even though Shang Ming, the admiral of the East Factory, is a little unconvinced, he can do nothing in the face of Wang Zhi's power. His mentality is more like giving up on himself, and most of his thoughts are on blackmailing wealthy businessmen to make money.
In other matters, Xichang is allowed to do whatever he wants.
Behind the scenes, people often point fingers and say that Eunuch Shang Ming is simply the most useless factory supervisor since the founding of Dongchang. Although Eunuch Shang has heard about it, after all, no one has said this to his face, so he pretends not to know.
Today, the commanding officer Wantong exposed this layer of window paper in front of his face and directly put the word "coward" on the table, making Eunuch Shang lose his face for a moment and clenched his fists involuntarily.
Wantong's thoughts are obvious. If Shang Ming can't see through, he is not worthy of being the admiral of the East Factory. He just wants to "join Wu and destroy Wei". However, when he thinks of the ferocity of the West Factory, Shang Ming has to think twice.
Seeing Shang Ming's intention, Wantong struck while the iron was hot and persuaded: "Xichang has been running rampant for many years. Nowadays, there are many people in the palace and court who are dissatisfied with Xichang. What are the people's concerns? Under heavy siege, it is like the Western Chu in those days.
Overlord, even though he is mighty and mighty, he can only kill himself in the Wujiang River when faced with an ambush from all sides."
As the admiral of Dongchang, Shang Ming naturally did not need Wantong to give him a situation report. He only asked: "What did Mr. Wan just say about being in an invincible position?"
Wantong smiled and said nothing for a moment, and then said with confidence again: "Shangdu, although I put my heart into my heart, even if my plan fails, I still have a way to make Wang Zhi busy, so that you and I can still live in peace."
Shang Ming thought to himself, if his position reached the level of Wantong, he would not just talk in vain? Of course the Dongchang family is not as good as the West factory. If Dongchang and Jinyiwei join forces...
He suppressed the conspiracy between the two big bosses of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but said that Fang Yingwu really drove Shang Ming away after seeing him posing. He didn't think much about it and just fell asleep in the prison. Shang Ming left as soon as he left.
, if you have a secret conversation with the admiral of the East Factory in prison, who knows what others will think if word gets out, it is better to do less than to do more (the other factory superintendent is a different situation).
It's a pity that Fang Yingwu didn't know that he was flapping his little butterfly wings. He accidentally tricked another factory supervisor——
If it weren't for his posturing, Eunuch Shang wouldn't have gone to see Commander Wan to inquire about the situation; if he hadn't seen Shang Ming actually being able to lower his posture, Commander Wan wouldn't have boldly talked to Eunuch Shang; if it hadn't been for this conversation,
It would be very difficult for Commander Wan to find a suitable opportunity to hook up with Eunuch Shang and deal with Eunuch Wang together. After all, there is a huge gap between people's hearts.
The next day, the sky became brighter, but the prison was still dark. Fang Yingwu was half asleep when he was called by Dongchang Fanzi. Without any explanation, he was taken to the lobby.
Fang Yingwu raised his eyes and saw that it was still Shang Ming who was sitting high behind the case. He clasped his fists and said, "Will you continue questioning the case today?" Shang Ming shouted, "It's quiet in the courtroom! You prisoner. I didn't ask you.
Don't talk too much, otherwise you will be punished by being handcuffed and served!"
Fang Yingwu was stunned. The demeanor and attitude of Eunuch Shang were obviously different from yesterday. Could it be that he could be completely transformed overnight? While he was thinking about it, he heard Shang Ming shout again: "Listen, people below! How long have you been in the West Factory?"
This time you conspired with someone, what was the conspiracy?"
This is a crooked building! Fang Yingwu couldn't help but defended: "May I ask the factory boss, for what crime am I being imprisoned? What does the matter the factory boss asked me have to do with my crime?"
Shang Ming slapped the publican hard and scolded: "Now that you have entered the East Factory, it is not up to you to ask any questions! Why don't you call me quickly!"
The wind is blowing in the wrong direction... Fang Yingwu couldn't help but fell into deep thought. How many times did he conspire with others? Does he mean Wang Zhi went into prison alone to have a secret conversation with him? Can this matter also be spread to Dongchang? Shang
Ming wanted to deliberately involve Wang Zhi?
Seeing that Fang Yingwu didn't answer, Shang Ming said to his left and right: "Where are your left and right? If the criminal dares to deny it, he will be punished immediately!"
The factory guard was indeed very dark! Fang Yingwu was furious and raised his head and said: "This is a crime you want to impose! The emperor ordered you to try it, what did you get? Is it true that the factory officer made another accusation, randomly framed it, and tried to correct the edict?"
Shang Ming didn't want to quarrel with Fang Yingwu. He would use short attacks to gain strength, so he thought to himself: "Do it left and right! Fight until you confess!"
Seeing that he was about to make a real move, Fang Yingwu's scalp was numb, and he looked a little bit fierce. He said loudly to Shang Ming: "I am the member of the Jinke Huiyuan, and I am waiting to be elected to the official position. Without the emperor's edict, who would dare to use torture!"
Shang Ming hesitated for a moment. This is indeed a problem. Although the emperor sent Fang Yingwu to prison, he did not explicitly or covertly approve the torture. He is now the one who decides the interrogation in private. If he is not careful, he will be punished.
I want to implicate myself.
At this moment, an eunuch hurriedly walked into the lobby, attracting everyone's attention. The person who could casually break into the lobby of the East Factory was definitely not an ordinary person.
Sure enough, the eunuch shouted to Shang Ming: "Where is Mr. Dongchang? There is an edict!" Shang Ming quickly rolled down from the public case, and a group of people quickly fell to the ground to receive the edict.
The eunuch who delivered the order then said loudly: "I'm here to tell you: You must handle matters accordingly, and you must be serious, fast, strict, and without delay!"
Fang Yingwu, who was present, was shocked. Is this a fucking severe beating? The emperor actually wanted to be cruel. What kind of incident was this?
Shang Ming was overjoyed. He really dropped his pillow when he was dozing off! Although the emperor's oral decree did not explicitly allow him to use torture, it at least gave him an excuse to let him understand the spirit on his own. And it can also be seen that the emperor is obviously the counterpart.
If you are really angry, if you grasp this general direction, it doesn't matter whether you use punishment or not.
I just don’t understand why the emperor suddenly delivered such an oral order again. After Shang Ming got up, he asked the eunuch who delivered the order: "What happened today? Why did the emperor rush to deliver the order here?"
Shang Minggui was the chief eunuch of the ceremonial department and the eunuch of the East Factory, so he still had some dignity. The eunuch who delivered the edict answered truthfully: "This morning, Lin Jun, the head of the Ministry of Punishment, came to the court to ask for the execution of the alchemist Li Zisheng, Deng Changen and
Monk Jixiao asked for the release of Fang Yingwu! His Majesty was furious and had Lin Jun imprisoned on the spot, and ordered the edict to be sent to Dongchang."
Fang Yingwu had been listening attentively. When he heard this, he felt as if ten thousand grass and mud horses were running past. What do you mean by pig teammates? This is pig teammates! Please behead? Can you say this casually?
Lin Jun is a good friend of his father's in the same year. He often visits his home and has seen it himself... In history, Lin Jun is a ruthless character who is desperate for his life. He was almost so angry that Emperor Chenghua broke the killing ban. Fortunately,
Only after being protected by Huaien, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, did he choose a small life.
But that was all two or three years later. Fang Yingwu could never have imagined that at this point, Lin Jun suddenly jumped out and risked his life to remonstrate, and by the way, he was also implicated! Now the situation is obvious, the emperor is completely angered
Now, I want to kill the chicken and show it to the monkey! I am the chicken!
Fang Yingwu was so devastated by his teammates that he couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and scream. Uncle Lin, it's your personal freedom to risk your life, but don't drag him, Fang Yingwu, a minor, to die with him!
After sending away the eunuch who delivered the order, Shang Ming turned around and smiled sinisterly at Fang Yingwu, "Are you going to recruit the criminals below or not?"
What to recruit? Recruit him to join forces with Wang Zhi to conspire in prison? That's impossible, that's not how you seek death! Fang Yingwu gritted his teeth after thinking about it and said, "I don't know what crime I am guilty of! As for what the factory boss asked, he made it out of nothing.
You have ulterior motives, so I don’t need to answer!”
Shang Ming once again made up his mind and shouted: "Do it left and right! Beat him until he confesses!" Although the emperor did not explicitly say that he could use torture, his attitude was obvious. Even if he committed punishment without authorization, he was helping the emperor to vent his anger!
Fang Yingwu raised his arms and shouted: "I am standing here, eunuch, how dare you! Give your life to the national calamity, and treat death as if you are home!"
Then he closed his eyes and waited for the punishment, as if he was bending his neck to die. If he can't escape this sentence, he can only hold on, and if he can't stand it, then he will say it again! For some reason, Fang Yingwu had a sentence echoing in his mind: "Although I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Even if you are poor, you still have a few bones..."
At this moment, swords are drawn, martyrs are in danger, and demons are dancing wildly! Suddenly, someone outside shouts: "Manufacturer, wait!"
Then another young eunuch trotted into the lobby and reported to Shang Ming: "I just got the news that an edict has arrived at the Hanlin Academy. It orders Fang Yingwu to be exempted from teaching, and to be a common scholar to edit the Imperial Academy!"
What? Everyone in the hall was shocked. It was a bit baffling why such an appointment came up at this moment. Shang Ming raised his arm high and was about to command the execution. When he heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood and forgot to put his arm down.
Shou sat behind the koan in a daze.
Whether they are common people or ministers, their courtesy is higher than that of ordinary officials. Theoretically speaking, these are also the emperor's close servants. They are all people around the emperor. Without a clear edict, the eunuchs are definitely not qualified to decide whether to take action or not.
Take action.
Secondly, from the perspective of influence, it is completely different whether the prisoner is an ordinary official or a "prime minister"...
Beating an ordinary official will probably lead to the hatred of his relatives and friends; but if he tortures the minister casually, it is tantamount to a slap in the face of all civil servants, which is simply a fight to the death with all civil servants. Wang Zhi of Xichang may be able to bear it
Come on, can you bear it on your own?
Fang Yingwu, who had officially heard the news of his appointment for the first time, was also very strange. Is this emperor crazy? The first one ordered him to be severely punished, and the second one ordered him to be appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy... or what happened to the split personality?
Already?
Shang Ming glanced at Fang Yingwu, always feeling that this person was laughing at him. He suddenly felt that he might have been pushed out by the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Wantong, to be the leader? But when the work started, there was no turning back.
But Eunuch Shang found that he really couldn't "make up his mind" again. The Emperor, Wang Zhi of Xichang, Commander Wantong, Fang Yingwu... none of them were easy to get along with, they were all damned
Bullying him, an honest man, puts a lot of pressure on him...
Honest people also have fire! Thinking of this, Shang Ming suddenly violently overturned the public case and roared, "I'll do it!"
Fang Yingwu watched Eunuch Shang retreat. He was very confused and asked the fan next to him: "What's wrong with Eunuch Shang? Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"
ps: I have been typing like crazy all morning, it seems like I haven’t felt this happy in a long time.
