Chapter six hundred and eighty first double happiness
After the results of the imperial examination were reported to the palace, while the courtiers were waiting eagerly for the announcement, the news about the appointment of officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Heavenly Officials had not yet come out, but news about the eunuchs and eunuchs in charge of rituals broke out one after another.
Crucially, the position of Si Li Jian and Zhang Yin eunuch, which was equivalent to the chief assistant of the foreign dynasty, was taken over by Bingbi eunuch Qin Chang. Chen Zhun, Xiao Jing and other Bingbi eunuchs who had close relations with the former Zhangyin eunuchs were defeated one after another.
After Qin Chang was promoted to the eunuch of the palm seal, there was a vacancy for the eunuch Bingbi. As expected by the court officials, the unreliable eunuch Wang Zhiwang was promoted to the eunuch of the ceremonial department and became the eunuch of the ceremonial department, eunuch Bingbi, and also the admiral of the East Factory.
This shows that Wang Zhi has reached the pinnacle of power and has become the second-ranking eunuch after the eunuch responsible for the ceremony. He is only in his early twenties. Using the analogy of a civil servant's official position, it is equivalent to the second assistant in the cabinet.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor has completed the adjustment of the palace power and has completely stabilized the rear area. I am afraid that the East Palace will be abolished soon, and it will not take too long.
After Fang Yingwu learned the news at home, he couldn't help but have mixed feelings. Originally, he felt that he was a detached person, a person who had escaped from vulgar taste, a person who looked down on the common people from a historical height, and a person who played the golden finger game.
People in life will not be shaken by other people's power and wealth.
But when I really faced this situation, I still couldn't help but murmur in my heart...Wang Zhi, this crazy person, really turned into the second eunuch. The status difference was so huge that when they met in the future, they still...
Why fool around?
If she is an arrogant and crazy person, if she really wants to kowtow to him, will she kneel or not? I don’t know why, it seems that Wang Zhi seems to be very displeased with her recently. Two of the three sentences are barbed, and she doesn’t know where she got offended.
Since she couldn't afford to offend him, she could only hide away.
In addition, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but feel a little envious. When he was a eunuch, his rising was so fast that there were no rules at all.
I have made so many achievements and created such a great reputation, but I still have to climb up the ranks step by step. Currently I am only hanging around in the fifth and sixth grades. As long as the opportunity comes, I can be a eunuch in one step. Age is not a problem, and gender is not.
obstacle.......
While Fang Yingwu was hiding at home, struggling with envy, jealousy and hatred, Old Taishan Liu Mianmian sent someone to invite him over. Fang Yingwu put aside his distracting thoughts and cheered up to go to Liu's house.
It was still the old rule to meet in the study room of the inner courtyard. Fang Yingwu received the gift and took a closer look, only to see that Lao Taishan had a look of frustration on his face. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Liu Mianhua sighing bleakly: "You, this
This time I was deeply disappointed... I still didn't push Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of War to come forward."
Fang Yingwu almost choked, this was simply an impossible task! He then defended himself: "Old Taishan told me very easily that I asked my son-in-law to recommend Zhang Sima when he participated in the court recommendation. But Zhang Sima's seniority
Qian, his prestige is not enough, how can he convince the public and transfer the official minister? This is beyond human power!
Besides, the son-in-law has tried his best. Although he did not recommend Zhang Sima, he also blocked the selection of the chief assistant Wan'an and prevented the official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs from falling into Wan'an's hands.
And the final result is Li Dazhongcheng, who is closer to us. Overall, it seems that we are not at a disadvantage, and are even slightly better than Wan Shoufu!"
Fang Yingwu still had something to say. Zhang Peng's factionalism was too strong for others to recognize him. Others did not dare to accept such a minister, so he encountered particularly great resistance.
Without overwhelming superior strength, it would be impossible for a figure like Zhang Peng to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This is why Wan An Ning can recommend Zhou Hongmo, but not his own direct party members.
After listening to Fang Yingwu's defense, Liu Mianhua said sadly: "Zhang Peng is really unlikely, and the hope of being recommended is slim, so I asked you to fight for it!"
Fang Yingwu was puzzled by this. How could he insist on insisting even though he knew he would fail? Then he asked, "What does Lao Taishan mean by this?"
"Isn't your greatest skill the ability to make the impossible possible by being miraculous? What can't be done by human beings? You are the one who claims to have destiny! You are able to solve difficulties in the face of danger, make clever calculations, seek victory in danger, and escape from death.
, It doesn’t matter if you are small and broad, why are you afraid of not having enough manpower?”
Liu Mianhua replied, these few sentences of analysis are so reasonable that it made Fang Yingwu burst into tears silently. You old man thinks too highly of this kid...
After that, Fang Yingwu heard Lao Taishan sigh again: "So I have high hopes for you to create another amazing miracle. Who would have expected that you still failed to do it. I have been looking forward to it all in vain!"
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but continue to explain: "My son-in-law is a mortal after all, not a god."
Liu Mianhua snorted coldly, "Then you should be more honest from now on and stop fooling me with the word destiny."
Then Liu Mianhua asked: "Let me ask you again, why are you so unwilling to enter the East Palace? If you really don't want to, you must try your best to shirk it. Is there any chance of a change in the East Palace?"
Fang Yingwu was stunned for a moment, and then he replied sincerely and frankly: "From my son-in-law's point of view, Dong Gong is a man with destiny and is worthy of following!"
Liu Mianhua: "..."
Fang Yingwu said excitedly: "This time it is really destiny."
Liu Mianmian sighed and said: "Do you know that I really hate hearing the word destiny from your mouth now. Behind these two words, I don't know how many secrets you have hidden."
"There's no secret, it's all intuition, a man's intuition." Fang Yingwu looked around and said, "I wonder if Old Taishan has anything else to teach me..."
Liu Mianhua seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "What are you advising me on? Can you tell me how to use my name to show off my power?" Fang Yingwu felt no guilt about this, "It's just to maximize the benefits as much as possible, it's nothing."
Liu Mianmian asked again: "The benefits have been obtained by Wang Shu, Li Yu, Tu Yu and you. What benefits do I have?" Fang Yingwu said calmly: "The benefits of my son-in-law are naturally the benefits of Lao Taishan.
Winning is the long-term solution.”
"Let's not talk about these trivial matters. We are all a family, so we don't have to worry about it too much!" Liu Mianhua waved his hand generously and forgave Fang Yingwu for his behavior. Then he asked casually as if by accident: "By the way, recently you and I
Is there any contact between Mrs. Sun and me?"
Fang Yingwu replied truthfully: "Not in the past few days."
Liu Mianmian hesitated for a moment and then said hesitantly: "Can you please pull a string so that Eunuch Wang can meet in private and have a drink?"
It was mentioned before that it was Mrs. Sun, but originally she was thinking of Eunuch Wang? Fang Yingwu looked at Old Taishan playfully, and after thinking about it, he said: "Eunuch Wang is actually not a good person to meet, and there is no need for Old Taishan to meet him."
Liu Mianmian said without comment: "Then you can go and give me a gift for me?"
Fang Yingwu asked with great pain: "What gift are you giving me? After all, Old Taishan, you are also a bachelor of the Second Auxiliary Academy and a role model for us. Don't be so condescending to the powerful!"
Liu Mianhua asked curiously: "I heard from people in the palace that Eunuch Wang plans to marry his wife for a double wedding. What's the big deal about giving a gift? Don't you know?"
Marrying a wife? Double happiness? Fang Yingwu suddenly had some ominous premonitions... r1152
