Fang Yingwu returned to the courtyard, and when he was a little worried about the situation, someone came in and said that Mr. Wang from the east was looking for him and asked him to be there.
Fang Yingwu secretly thought that Wang Zhi had only seen her the day before yesterday and came to see her hurriedly today. Maybe something happened after her public appearance.
So Fang Yingwu had no choice but to put on his scribe's robes, and resolutely called out to Fang Yingshi, Wang Ying and Lou Tianhua to follow him, and told them to follow him, and then he went out and took a sedan chair to the east of the city.
Entering the backyard of Mrs. He's restaurant, she saw Mrs. Sun standing on the porch. Fang Yingwu stepped forward and teased her a few words, then opened the door curtain and entered the house.
Wang Zhi didn't know how long she had been waiting. When she saw Fang Yingwu, she couldn't wait to say: "The emperor said that now the eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor is vacant, and he wants to re-appoint me as the Royal Horse Supervisor and Eunuch."
This is a good thing! Fang Yingwu hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the factory director, congratulations to the factory director! From now on, it's just and true, you have to thank me profusely!"
Speaking of which, Wang Zhi, the Admiral of the East Factory, is not actually a serious position. Strictly speaking, he can only be called the Admiral of the East Factory. This sounds like a mission rather than an official title. It is like being an imperial envoy. It is impossible to say this official title.
To be called an imperial envoy, there must be someone of his own rank.
This is actually the case for the position of Admiral of the East Factory, and the prefix should be "Official". According to convention, the eunuch who serves as the eunuch is also the admiral of the East Factory. However, due to the special nature of Eunuch Wang, he is temporarily unable to become the eunuch of the Office of Ceremonies.
And the emperor wanted her to be in charge of Dongchang, so the only thing that was nondescript was the word "Admiral Dongchang."
Ordinarily, in the twenty-four yamen of the eunuchs, Wang Zhi can't find any official at random? But the position of the admiral of the East Factory is extremely important, and the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch, is always responsible for it. I want to find someone like this
It is not that easy for an official with a commensurate status.
Now Liang Fang was dismissed by His Majesty from the post of eunuch in charge of the imperial eunuch because he did not say a few words when Fang Yingwu met the emperor. Therefore, the imperial eunuch ranked among the top three among the 24 internal eunuchs.
The heavyweight eunuch was vacated.
The status of the eunuch Yuma is comparable to that of the admiral of the East Factory. What's more, Wang Zhi used the title of eunuch Yuma to supervise the West Factory. Now that she is the eunuch Yuma, it is just a reappearance of the past. Moreover, things in the world can be found again after they are lost.
The most precious thing, Wang Zhi certainly has reason to be excited.
That's why Fang Yingwu congratulated Wang Zhi and asked for credit without shame. Without Fang Yingwu, how could Liang Fang lose the Royal Horse Supervisor so easily?
"Okay, okay!" Wang Zhi said listlessly with a drooped face. This emotion finally made Fang Yingwu feel that something was wrong, and asked: "What's going on?"
Wang Zhi said depressedly: "The emperor summoned me today. He asked me about my official position, and then he asked me to replace him as the Royal Horse Supervisor and Eunuch..."
"His Majesty asked you to replace the Royal Horse Supervisor, instead of taking the Royal Horse Supervisor concurrently?" Fang Yingwu also discovered something inappropriate.
Wang Zhi replied: "Yes, I also heard that the emperor sent Qin Chang to the Supervisor of Ceremonies to ask who among the eunuchs in the palace could replace him as the admiral of the East Factory."
Fang Yingwu frowned and thought for a long time. Everyone knew that Dongchang was the emperor's ears, eyes and minions. The admiral of Dongchang was a very important position. Only eunuchs trusted by the emperor could be appointed.
If the emperor plans to let Wang Zhi resign as the admiral of Dongchang, no matter how high the official position he is given, it can only mean one thing: the emperor no longer trusts Wang Zhi.
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but asked Wang Zhi: "If this is the case, wasn't there some news before?" Wang Zhi shook his head, "I am also surprised. I didn't expect it at all."
It's strange. There must be a reason why things happened suddenly. So what's the problem? Fang Yingwu suddenly remembered something. "Could it be that the emperor suspects that there is collusion between you and me?"
Wang Zhi quickly asked: "Why do you think so? What happened?"
Fang Yingwu replied: "Last time I went to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, Liang Fang, a traitor, made slanderous remarks on the side, saying that you and I were colluding with each other.
I just made a few excuses to avoid Liang Fang's accusations, and His Majesty didn't say anything at that time. Could it be that His Majesty actually had suspicions in his heart at that time, but he just aroused them but did not reveal them?"
Wang Zhi's expression changed slightly, "There is such a thing. Why didn't I hear you mention it when we met the day before yesterday?"
Wang Zhi has been in Chenghua for 13 years now, and her main business for most of her life has been factory sanitation work. How can she not understand the key to this?
For the profession of Admiral of the East Factory, corruption, violence, murder and arson are not problems, but what the emperor is most taboo about is collusion between internal and external parties to deceive the palace, especially in this sensitive period of the East Palace dispute.
Fang Yingwu smiled bitterly, "On the day I entered the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, too many things happened, and my brain was exhausted. How could I deliberately remember the useless slander that seemed to have failed?
From this point of view, His Majesty did not have an attack at that time, but he must have been secretly suspicious and paid attention to it, and for some reason he made a decision in the past two days."
Wang Zhi pondered for a moment, "Do you think the fact that the palace procured eunuchs to come to Liaodong miscellaneous shops for extortion and extortion has anything to do with this matter? I have always found this matter strange since I returned to Beijing and heard about it.
Because as far as I know, eunuchs in the palace are domineering and arrogant outside depending on the occasion. There is no reason for Liang Fang to act like this. It is obvious that he is deliberately causing trouble and wants to fight me for some money. What good does this do to him? "
Fang Yingwu thought thoughtfully: "As the saying goes, Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong, so they are just extorting money in the name of extorting money, but in fact they have other intentions? Since it is not for money, it is for people...for people
..."
Speaking of this, Fang Yingwu suddenly shouted "It's broken!" and then hurriedly analyzed: "Those two eunuchs who committed suicide went to the Liaodong miscellaneous shop and became domineering. As soon as they opened their mouth, they would buy names and extort 10,000 or 20,000 silver.
, Yuanwai Yao absolutely cannot afford it. And since your backer is not in Beijing, Yuanwai Yao can only come to me.
So the question arises. For those who understand that Liaodong Zabu has you as its backer, and see that I also supported Liaodong Zabu the day before yesterday, doesn’t it indirectly prove that you and I do have a collusion relationship? If His Majesty also accepts it
Can I trust you, the admiral of Dongchang, with this guess?"
Wang Zhi immediately understood as if enlightened, punched the table and said: "That's right! This is what's wrong! They calculated without thinking and deliberately, and you accidentally fell into the trap."
The eloquent Fang Yingwu was speechless... I didn't expect to suffer a loss here. I was too careless at the time, why didn't I think of this?
As a minister, he stood up for the shop that Wang Zhi supported. In the eyes of interested people, it was obvious that something was wrong. Why didn't he realize it? This was really an unintentional plot!
If Wang Zhi really loses his post as admiral of the East Factory, the situation he will face will be even more serious. This is the second uncertain but very possible bad news today after Liu Jue and Wanan's possible merger.
The imperial eunuch is known as the Minister of War in the inner prison. It is true that he has a high status, but how can he be as useful and practical as the admiral of the East Factory? (To be continued...)
