Chapter 237: The more trouble, the louder the sound of the drum
Chapter 237: The noise is getting louder and louder, the drums are beating...
For example, among the six subjects, the Thirteen Censors, the Supervisory Yuan, etc. are the backbone members of Qingliu. The well-known Hai Rui is one of the more extreme examples.
Although these officials are not high-ranking, they are powerful in numbers and can easily form groups. Moreover, each of them has a smelly and tough temper, just like the hob meat that cannot be chopped or chewed.
Similar.
And most of them are young and enthusiastic people. In the words of later generations, they are a group of angry youths. They are cynical and the world is unfair. If they fall into their eyes, they want to take care of it. Regarding the government, they cannot jump into the court, but
However, they often comment on the various policies of the court, which in turn affects the policy direction of certain courts.
And Wang Wen was so lucky that he beat up such a group of key members of the Qingliu family. It cannot be described without carrying it home. You must know that all the important officials in the court know that this group of hot-blooded young people is difficult to deal with.
, and it’s not generally difficult to do.
Although most of the important officials in the court dare not say that they would deliberately make friends with and win over these young people, they are also very concerned about it. Of course, if they have a small countryman or something, they will naturally win over them.
At least you have to give this group some goodwill. Don't shoot at me all the time.
But now, Wang Wenlai was so angry that he really fried the clear water, like a ladle of water poured into boiling oil.
At Wang Zhi's house, Lao Wang Zhi stared dumbfoundedly as more than twenty young officials stood in the hall of his home, surrounded by seven or eight beaten-up people with bruised noses, swollen faces, mouths and crooked eyes. As the saying goes, the crowd was furious.
, all talking in confusion.
The old Wang couldn't help but frown and shouted in a deep voice: "What are you doing? Come to my house and talk about something if you have something to do. How can you be so disrespectful!"
After all, the old guy is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he is also one of the few veterans of the Ming Dynasty. He has accumulated so much authority that no one dares to teach lightly. After such a drink, the originally noisy hall suddenly became deserted.
At this time, this group of young officials finally elected a representative. "The official department was assigned to Zhong Dasheng, who brought a group of colleagues to see Wang Shangshu. Tonight, I took the liberty to come to disturb the Lord Shangshu. I was actually a traitor to the capital."
This is a huge event, and the one who can make the decision for us must be the boss."
"Oh, what happened in Beijing that made you join me in my humble abode? Could it be with these few..." Lao Wang raised his finger and pointed at the seven or eight people who had been beaten until their eyes were crooked, their mouths were crooked, and their faces were blue.
Black guy.

"￥%&*@#..." One of them burst into tears when he saw Lao Wang pointing directly at him, with a look of grief and anger on his face, and he opened his mouth. The problem was that no one could understand what he said.
What is the brother talking about when his tongue was swollen, a piece of skin was bitten off, and a few teeth were knocked out.
That Mr. Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and narrated a jaw-dropping event that had happened in that restaurant not long ago, an event that would also shock both the government and the public.
When I heard this eloquent official telling Mr. Zhong vividly about the incident, and when I saw him struggling to escape from the vicious claws of a punishing thug and escaping to the corridor, I saw
When Wang Wen, the new official minister, stood outside the door with a sinister smile on his face (definitely an exaggeration), Lao Wang almost spit out all the tea he had just swallowed from his nose.
"What? You said it's Wang Wen, the new Minister of Civil Affairs, Wang Wen?" Lao Wang couldn't care less about wiping the tea foam on his beard. He stood up and jumped up. How could a civil servant who was nearly seventy years old still be so strong?
However, all the Qingliu officials were startled, so Zhong Dasheng naturally patted his chest and promised again and again.
After hearing this and asking in detail, Old Wang had a serious expression on his face, but in fact, the old guy was already laughing in his heart. "Wang Qianzhi (Wang Wen's word)
Wang Qianzhi, I am just worried that I can't control you and kick you out of my territory. This is a good time. You actually gave me such a great gift in the blink of an eye. If I don't go with the flow, wouldn't I have to do it?
Have you failed to live up to your kind wishes from Mr. Wangge?"
At this time, Zhong Dasheng just thought that the old minister was afraid of causing trouble, and couldn't help shouting: "Old minister, you have to make the decision for us. Wang Wen is too arrogant and domineering. He dared to drive his slaves and beat the court officials.
, and also wants to hide and hide... His cruel methods and despicable actions are really outrageous. How can such a treacherous villain be allowed to be a cabinet minister, how can he be allowed to take charge of the official department..."
"That's enough!" Lao Wang glared at this guy and shouted in a deep voice. The officials who were originally indignant couldn't help but became speechless for a while. Some of them wanted to speak, but Lao Wang spoke first: "This matter
It is indeed an unprecedented thing since the founding of our dynasty, and it is really a shame..." Lao Wang Zhi's eloquence was not limited, at least he gave this group of young officials a sense of confidant with his righteous and stern rebuke.
Old Wang glanced at everyone's expressions from the corner of his eyes and paused: "However, I am in charge of the official department. Although I can report this matter to the emperor, but..." After saying this, Old Wang Zhi's face slowly showed
The ground took on the color of sadness and anger.
Zhong Dasheng was able to become the leader of this group of people. In addition to being a passionate and angry young man, more importantly, he was also very thoughtful. Seeing the old minister's eyes rolling, he quickly took a step forward and asked for advice in a low voice.
"I hope the old minister can teach me and give me justice."
"Actually, this matter is not difficult to say, but if the emperor is determined..." Lao Wang was about to speak but stopped, glanced at everyone in the hall, and his eyes fell back on Zhong Dasheng's face.
"Don't worry, Old Minister, we all are willing to be the brave censor and the loyal ministers who serve the country." Zhong Dasheng naturally raised his head, straightened his body, and put on a posture. Everyone behind him also stood up with his head held high.
, including the seven or eight guys who were beaten to the point of being inhuman shape, they all tried their best to stand up straight.
Old Wang glanced at the people with a look of joy on his face, then gently pulled Zhong Dasheng, and then whispered in his ear. Zhong Dasheng couldn't help but move his eyebrows with joy, and bowed to the ground towards Old Wang.
"Thank you very much, Old Minister. I'll go there soon. I must let those treacherous and sycophant know that there is no place for him in this bright world."
"You are all the pillars of the country. You must not let down the country because of this. I hope you will take this as a lesson." Lao Wangzhi calmly held up the clock under the gazes of doubtful eyes.
Dasheng, with a look of emotion on his face.
"Yes, I will bear in mind the teachings of the old minister. I have disturbed the peace of the old minister today. I will come to apologize to you someday. It is already getting late, so I will leave..." Zhong Dasheng said goodbye to Wang Zhi first, and rushed behind him.
Everyone winked.
Not long after, a group of people quickly left Wang Zhi's mansion. Outside the gate of the mansion, Zhong Dasheng quietly told everyone the strategy taught by Wang Zhi without waiting for anyone to ask. Everyone listened.
They couldn't help but beam with joy, and praised their kindness repeatedly. After some arrangements, the original group of people immediately divided into several groups, and each group hurried away dragging an injured person...

"Everyone's gone?" Lao Wang Zhi was still staying in the front hall and asked after seeing the old housekeeper who sent the officials away coming back.
"Master, they all left." After thinking for a while, the old housekeeper said: "They talked for a while outside the door, then divided into several groups and went their separate ways. The slave has already sent the slaves according to your instructions.
I have my servants following me, I think it won’t be long before there is news..."
"Hahaha, okay, Zhong Dasheng did not disappoint me." Lao Wang heard this and let out a sigh of relief. He took the scented tablets brought by the maid, took a sip and smiled lightly.
"Sir, what are you asking them to do?" The old housekeeper came closer and asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Wang Wen is just the target of this matter, so why did you let them leave?"
"Haha, Wang Wen is the emperor's right-hand man. He was put into the official department. In a word, he just wanted to make me feel empty." Old Wang paused and then smiled while stroking his gray beard: "Wang Wen is here.
He can be regarded as a talented person. I couldn't catch him before, but I didn't want to... It's also because he has a high self-esteem and a cold heart. He will never admit it when he makes a mistake. This doesn't give these young people
It’s strange that he’s in a hurry, and if the trouble comes to me, I’m afraid, then Wang Wen will never have a chance to settle the matter.”
"In fact, I didn't say anything. I just asked Mr. Zhong to gather some more colleagues, find the ministers of various ministries, and the yamen who can handle the matter, and report the matter to the court officials first. Moreover, I also
He taught them a trick: if the officials of the ministries and the government were ambiguous, let them report it directly to the emperor. The drum had not sounded for many years. It was probably covered with a thick layer of dust, so it was time to knock it to listen to the sound.
"
After hearing this, the old housekeeper saw Lao Wang Zhi's half-smiling face, and couldn't help but shudder. It's a warm winter, and the idea of rolling green onions in big pancakes is too bad, even if it is an injury case.
Forget it, even if the official is beaten and the big issue is reduced to a trivial matter, there shouldn't be a big problem.
And my master used such a dirty trick, and it is obvious that the trouble is getting bigger and bigger. You know, those Qingliu people are never easy to mess with. If there are really hundreds of Qingliu elements, they will all go to beat the Wenden drum, Wendeng
What is a drum?
Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, also established the Dengwen Drum and had a dedicated person to manage it. Once there were complaints from enemies, the emperor would personally accept them. Any officials who interfered would be severely punished. During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, an official once petitioned to cancel the Dengwen Drum.
, Emperor Xuande refused to accept it as the one established by his ancestors.
In other words, as long as the drum is beaten, it is completely impossible for the emperor to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"After tonight, I'm afraid that this matter will be noisy in both the government and the public in the capital... Hahaha, it's fun, it's really fun." Lao Wang said until the end, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
