The entourage around him scattered like birds and beasts, and the mobilized sergeants turned against each other again. Eunuch Wang Jing was unable to resist, so he had to come to Gusuyi. If Eunuch Wang was also a time traveler, he would definitely sigh that political power comes from the barrel of a gun!
Everything here in Gusuyi looks familiar. It is no different from two or three months ago. Even the courtyard where I stayed is still the same place where I stayed two or three months ago. The only difference is that I am only accompanied by my godson Wang Chen.
The rest of the servants who come to serve are not our own.
Looking at the familiar lobby and the hanging calligraphy and paintings, Wang Gonggong was so sad that he wanted to shed tears. Why did others go so smoothly on business trips, but it was so difficult for him?
For example, Qian Neng, the guard eunuch who went to Yunnan, and Wei Juan, the eunuch of the Shipping Department who went to Guangdong, were both very angry and resentful characters. Their methods were not much better than their own, and they caused many life-threatening lawsuits.
But under the protection of the Emperor, they all escaped safely in the end, rising to fame and fortune. But he should have followed in their footsteps, gaining the emperor's heart with gold and silver treasures, and becoming a prisoner.
A new generation of celebrities!
But why is it that my own experience is so infuriating and aggrieved! Why does it happen to me that I meet a person who doesn't follow the rules at all! Again, there is no minister in the world who does things like Fang Yingwu, who is completely harmful to others.
Self-interested approach!
Wang Jing and his father-in-law Wang Jing knew that a good man would not suffer the consequences of the present, and he also knew that when it was not the time to compete, he could not afford to compete.
Now he still has the last glimmer of hope in his heart, which is these gold and silver treasures worth three hundred thousand taels of silver. He doesn't believe that Fang Yingwu really dares to deal with this batch of gold and silver treasures that have been marked with the name of the Emperor.
Or it can be said that Fang Yingwu has no ability to handle it at all, and it is impossible to handle it well. He can neither risk his personal reputation to sacrifice it to the emperor, nor can he snatch food from the emperor's mouth.
After a sleepless night, Wang Jing was sitting on the porch in the early morning, thinking hard about how to escape. At this moment, he saw from a distance that the busboy came in with a middle-aged man in dark blue robes, who seemed familiar.
After the guest was brought to Wang Jing, the servant withdrew. Wang Jing looked at the guest in confusion and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"
The guest replied very politely: "I am Lu Zhong, who is the same eunuch as the prince, but he always works in the East Factory."
Wang Jing was greatly surprised and asked again: "Are you from Dongchang? Why do you appear here?"
At this time, the scope of activities of the factory health organization was mainly around the capital, and it was far from controlling the whole country as imagined by later generations. When factory guards went to work in other places, they had to send special missions.
Under normal circumstances, there are no permanent factory guards in Jiangnan, so Wang Jing was surprised by the sudden appearance of an eunuch from the East Factory.
Lu Zhong smiled and answered simply: "I was ordered by the factory governor Wang Gong to monitor Fang Qin Envoy, so I went south with Fang Qin Envoy as my entourage - this was reported to the emperor, and Fang Qin Envoy himself was also responsible."
Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. Just when Wang Jing thought of this, he heard Lu Zhong said: "Envoy Fang has ordered that all the goods seized yesterday be handed over to Dongchang. I will ask the prince to verify the number."
What? Wang Jing's eyes were about to split, and he stared at Lu Zhong. His hands in his sleeves kept trembling, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
This batch of goods was hot in Fang Yingwu’s hands, but not at all in Dongchang’s hands!
Dongchang openly presented the property to the emperor, and Fang Yingwu could also openly express that he could not resist Dongchang and secretly sold favors to Dongchang. Only he, Wang Jing, had worked hard to make wedding clothes for others.
!
The emperor would not be interested in understanding why Wang Jing's mission failed. The emperor would only know that it was Dongchang who brought back the gold and silver treasures in the end.
Wang Jing couldn't remember clearly what Lu Zhong said next. Wang Jing couldn't remember clearly when Lu Zhong left.
At this time, the procurement eunuch Wang Jing had fallen into deep despair. He only knew that he had endured it again and again, and now he couldn't bear it any more... Wasn't he just not following the rules?
When Lu Zhong was talking to Wang Jing, Fang Yingwu was splashing ink and writing in a eloquent way. He wrote the memorial in one go without any extra points, and wrote a thousand-word memorial.
First of all, I would like to express my great achievements and report the good news to the court and the emperor. The theme is "I have received an extra million this year."
Secondly, he strongly impeached the eunuch Wang Jing for causing harm to the local area and petitioned to have Wang Jing punished (this is impossible under normal circumstances).
After writing the memorial and checking that there were no omissions, Fang Yingwu sealed the memorial and asked Wang Ying to send it to the courier shop and send it to the capital.
Staying in Suzhou at the end of the year will naturally have the advantage of staying in Suzhou. During the Spring Festival last year, there was an earthquake in the capital. I used the disaster to fight against the second assistant, and I became quite popular;
And this year's Spring Festival will probably have more serious weather changes. If the imperial court cannot be stable, it is better for me to stay away from it. If the weather changes make a big splash for two consecutive years, it will be too high-profile.
Fang Yingwu was very afraid of the possibility that as long as he was in the capital, he could not help but habitually increase his reputation. This habit that was infiltrated into his bones could not be stopped at all.
Therefore, it is better to stay in Suzhou and wait for the limelight to pass. As for the impeachment of Wang Jing, it doesn't matter. When the big changes happen, many big names will be impeached.
Just when Fang Yingwu started to think about what he should do after returning to Beijing next year, he saw Fang Yingshi, the doorman, leading a handyman in.
When he looked at the handyman again, his face turned pale and he looked so panicked that he could hardly walk unsteadily. He even tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground when he came in.
But the handyman didn't get up at all. He climbed a few steps and lay down directly at the feet of Imperial Envoy Fang Da, howling: "Master Imperial Envoy, something bad has happened!"
Fang Yingshi, who was waiting nearby, couldn't understand this kind of behavior. He kicked the servant and asked, "If you have something to say, just say it. What big thing can happen? Isn't the sky falling?"
The handyman held back the pain and continued howling: "I was working as an errand in Gusu Post, and was assigned to take care of the eunuch Wang Eunuch. I just went to deliver meals to the eunuch, but found that the eunuch Wang Eunuch was hanging on the beam with his belt.
, has already committed suicide by hanging from a beam!"
Fang Yingwu was shocked, jumped up from his chair, and shouted in disbelief: "What did you say? Wang Jing committed suicide?"
The handyman threw himself on the ground and said: "It's absolutely true, I'm out of breath! I don't dare to disturb others, so I went straight to the imperial envoy to inform him!"
Fang Yingwu was so shocked by the news that he was a little dizzy and unsteady on his feet. He deeply suspected that he was in a dream.
Why did Wang Jing commit suicide? A eunuch who only knew how to plunder and peel skins had the courage to die to fight?
This is simply a lack of rules. In the Ming Dynasty, there were only examples of eunuchs forcing ministers to death, but there were no cases of ministers forcing eunuchs to death! (To be continued...)
ps: Someone posted another photo... I just straightened out my thoughts and started to speed up.
