That night, Wang Zhi slept all night in Zhaode Palace, and secretly asked someone for some information. The next day, he spent the whole morning talking with the imperial concubine and had lunch together, and then left the palace.
After walking out of the gate of Zhaode Palace, Wang Zhi put away her smile and sighed softly, feeling a little scared. She had never felt this way before.
I remember that in the year when Xichang was first established, the courtiers were in a crusade, scolding her like a memorial. But she never felt afraid. First, she was young and bold, ignorant and fearless, but she felt very excited and stimulated;
Secondly, she knew at that time that even if she couldn't bear it anymore, as long as she left Xichang and hid in the palace, others would just say nothing. With Wan Guifei behind her, and the emperor's encouragement and support, there was nothing to fear.
?
But the situation seems to be different now. Even the palace may not be stable, and I don't want to go back to the palace and live such a depressing and boring life.
Wang Zhi suddenly felt a lingering sadness, and inexplicable sadness welled up in her heart. After all, she was like a duckweed without roots. Although the imperial concubine treated her very well, Zhaode Palace was not her home.
When she walked to Xihua Gate, Wang Zhi suppressed her unhealthy little woman emotions and thought about the current situation.
Dongchang Shangming was just fine. He was frightened out of his wits and went to the emperor to complain. It was expected that A Chou dared to ridicule herself in front of the emperor. He must have been instigated by someone else. What a pity.
It is inconvenient to torture and interrogate.
She, Wang Zhi, dares to arrest indiscriminately outside, but she is very restricted in the palace. This is the absolute domain of the emperor, and anyone must be more careful when acting. If the red line in the emperor's heart is touched, the end will be extremely miserable. What's more, Ah
Chou is still the emperor's favorite popular actor recently. The consequences of being caught without permission are very unpredictable.
Although it is inconvenient to take A Chou immediately for interrogation, it does not prevent Wang Zhi from guessing who is behind it. I don't know if there is a direct relationship between Wantong and Shang Ming. But it is definitely not related to the Royal Horse Eunuch Liang Fang.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhi couldn't help but rub her forehead. Did she really have enemies on all sides?
Let’s start from the beginning. Wang Zhi is the eunuch of the Royal Horse Guards, and Liang Fang is also the eunuch of the Royal Horse Guards. However, Liang Fang is the real eunuch of the Royal Horse Guards, while Wang Zhi is just a name in the Royal Horse Guards.
The status of the Royal Horse Supervisor in the inner court is equivalent to that of the Ministry of War in the outer dynasty. However, although Liang Fang is the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor, most of the things he does are actually procurement for the inner court, searching for treasures and jewelry, and collecting strange people and strangers.
He was also in charge of aphrodisiacs and building temples. The alchemist Li Zisheng, Deng Changen and the monk Jixiao were all good partners of Liang Fang.
To put it very bluntly, Eunuch Liang was dedicated to serving the emperor's life and entertainment. He was the purest jester, a typical representative of the three types of eunuchs: the official eunuch, the spy eunuch, and the daily eunuch.
Of course, it was precisely because of these that Eunuch Liang became deeply favored by the emperor and Concubine Wan Gui.
Wang Zhi, on the other hand, although she was only a nominal eunuch, she often supervised the army in border towns. Relying on the powerful Xichang, she also became the de facto commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp. What she did was more like Liang Fang.
He is a genuine palm print eunuch.
Moreover, when Wang Zhizai first became the governor of the West Factory, she enthusiastically held high the banner of anti-corruption. Due to corruption issues, she severely punished Liang Fang's trusted eunuchs and had a bad time with Liang Fang.
Wang Zhi, who was walking among the red bricks and green tiles of the palace, couldn't help but tremble. After thinking about it this way, the courtiers, Dongchang Shangming, Jinyiwei Wantong, Royal Horse Supervisor Liang Fang...could it be that Fang Yingwu really did it? As you said, what kind of situation is he already in?
His confidants, such as Wei Ying, who was in charge of the execution of thousands of households in Xichang, Wu Shou, who was placed in Fusi, Jinyiweinan Town, and his allies. The famous "Er Yue" seemed to be of no use at this time.
Wang Zhi didn't dare to ask them about the situation. They were also confused about this situation involving a large number of palace affairs. They really couldn't see what countermeasures could be asked, not to mention the worry of letting them know the inside story and cause chaos.
In a daze, Wang Zhi heard Miss Sun, who was acting as an entourage, ask: "Where are we going?" She raised her head and found that she had reached the corner gate of Qianqing Gate. She hesitated for a moment and then ordered: "Get out of Donghua. Door, go to Dongchang!"
Wang Zhi had nothing else to do when she went to Dongchang, so she still had to go to Fang Yingwu. At least Fang Yingwu was the person who looked most like a life-saving straw. At least Fang Yingwu didn't seem to have much ill intentions towards him. At least Fang Yingwu Things look mysterious and mysterious, as if they know everything.
When she stepped into the gate of Dongchang, Wang Zhi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Shang Ming complained that he had gone to prison four times to visit Fang Yingwu, which was obviously evil. Is this the fifth time today? Shang Ming had something to gain. Chewing my tongue.
But thinking back on these four or five times, I felt weaker and weaker every time. How could I be so embarrassed...Wang Zhi put away his distracting thoughts, made a calm gesture, stood at the door of the cell, and responded to the other party calmly: "It's just like you." As you said, it seems like you are surrounded by enemies on all sides, but it’s nothing, it’s just a matter of death and destruction!”
Fang Yingwu, who was still bored, jumped up from the thatched bed and asked curiously: "Aren't you always unconvinced? Why do you suddenly understand so much?"
Wang Zhi took the risk of "revealing forbidden matters" and told everything he saw and heard in the palace in the past two days.
Fang Yingwu thought for a while and sighed: "In the final analysis, the emperor is already a little worried about you, otherwise the emperor would not let the buffoon set you up, nor would he allow Shang Ming to report in public... The empress also I won’t advise you to let go. For now, in my opinion..."
When Wang Zhi heard the word "worry", she suddenly complained: "I have worked hard and loyally over the years, why is the emperor worried?"
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but complain in his heart, childishness is a disease and needs to be cured! This Wang Zhi is only a teenager after all. Although he debuted early, he may achieve a lot due to chance, but luck is a bigger factor, and he is far from being a Mature.
Wang Zhi's remarks are typical of women's emotional thinking. Is this a time for deep reflection? It's serious to think of ways to deal with it quickly! Fang Yingwu said angrily: "What's the use of complaining? I'm just as hardworking and loyal. Geng Geng, aren’t you also squatting here to eat in prison? Now you have to..."
Wang Zhi was unmoved and asked stubbornly: "You should understand why you said it?"
There were some words that Fang Yingwu was embarrassed to say himself, so he asked in a coaxing way: "The reason is very simple. Compared with people like Huaien, Qin Chang, Dongchang Shangming, and Liang Fang, the Royal Horse Inspector, you are the biggest What’s the difference?”
Wang Zhi held her chin up, frowned, and fell into deep thought. After a while, she shook her head blankly, "We all perform our duties. Although the affairs are different, we all serve the emperor wholeheartedly. The same is true for the emperor. I am a well-meaning person and I am very tolerant to them, so why should I be worried about me?"
Fang Yingwu was helpless. He covered his face and said, "The difference is because you are a woman after all. You are more likely to hook up with men outside than eunuchs, and the hookups are deeper!"
Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became furious, and stretched out his palm to slap him. However, he saw that Fang Yingwu had already covered his face first, and without taking action for a moment, he clenched his fist and hit Fang Yingwu twice randomly, and then
He kicked Fang Yingwu hard and shouted: "Who do you think hooks up with men? Who do you think hooks up with men?"
After Fang Yingwu received three axes, he coughed heavily and said, "Seriously, even if you are not a woman, you will still be suspected. What happened to Cao Jixiang twenty years ago is still fresh in my mind!"
Cao Jixiang was a powerful eunuch in the Yingzong Dynasty. He was the ceremonial supervisor, eunuch and governor of the three major camps of the capital. He set the example of eunuchs rebelling against each other, and was defeated and killed. He was the only one in the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Zhi is now the de facto supervisor of the army. Wang Yue, the admiral of the 12th elite regiment of the Beijing camp, and Chen Yue, the minister of the Ministry of War, are his party members. In the eyes of others, his image is that he acts on his own initiative, is arrogant and domineering, and does random things. He is not associated with Cao Cao.
It’s weird to be lucky.
Fang Yingwu said again: "Your duties are nothing more than to supervise the West Factory and to be the eunuch of the Royal Horse. Now that you want the title of Supervisor of the Army, what other practical use is it besides fun? Can you rebel?"
Wang Zhi glared angrily: "You scholars look down on me, so naturally you have to find ways to make contributions!"
"Is that enough now? In fact, what the emperor is most taboo about is your martial arts, and Xichang is completely harmless to the emperor, don't you understand?
I think it would be better for you to resign from your position as Royal Horse Guard and Eunuch. This is to use retreat as an advance and lose soldiers to protect the chariot. At least it can temporarily alleviate the emperor's doubts, keep the West Factory errand, and maintain the situation."
"You want me to go to Shu and resign now?"
"No, it's not time yet. Going up now will only show that you are guilty, and the effect will not be good!"
"When should that be?"
"It's hard to say, let's wait for the opportunity."
"You scholars have really twisted intestines."
"The eunuchs in your palace are not bad either. Otherwise, how could they go against the scholars?"
"I'm not a eunuch!"
"..."
But it is said that every family has its own difficulty in reciting sutras. At the same time, Liu Mianhua and his wife were sitting at home, looking sad and sighing at each other.
Naturally, there is only one thing that worries them now, and that is the marriage between their daughter and Fang Yingwu. The scheduled wedding date is approaching, but their son-in-law Fang Yingwu is still living in the prison, so how can they get married?
"You can't regret a marriage, otherwise it will become a laughing stock. But the date has been set and the invitations have been sent out. It will be a joke if it can't be done by then." Mrs. Liu said, suddenly feeling a little distressed, "I wonder if my son-in-law is here?"
No matter how hard you endured in prison, if you are tortured so much, it will be inconvenient for you to get married when you get out."
Liu Mianhua comforted him: "I have inquired carefully. Although our good son-in-law has been moved to three places and only received two sticks in total, what's the big deal? But he got applause from the whole court and will soon become famous.
The world is over!"
It was said to be comforting, but Liu Mianhua's tone was sour, and he was really envious and jealous. Why didn't he have this kind of opportunity when he was young? Now that he is old, he really can't afford to gamble. Age is here, and if he misses, he will be completely eliminated.
But think about when I was young, I went through four and three emperors like a revolving door. The reigns changed from Zhengtong, Jingtai, Tianshun to Chenghua. I killed many people at every turn. Is it true to be a man with your tail between your legs? How can the world be like this now?
