Chapter 944 Neutral
While Eunuch Wei was moved, he admired the Cui Laozi who dared to quarrel with him.
But I don’t know that if he had a good look at the resume of Cui Laozi, he would know why he had the confidence and courage.
Cui Laozi is an extraordinary figure. He was a Jinshi during the Longqing period. He was the director and doctor in the Ministry of Revenue. He was also the prefect of Jinan. Later, he served as the governor of Shaanxi. He served as the right deputy censor in the 32nd year of Wanli. He was the second-ranked figure in the Censorate, second only to the General Constitution.
When ordinary people become officials to this level and have so much experience, they should be important officials of the six ministries even if they do not enter the cabinet.
However, Cui Laozi was neither promoted to the General Constitution nor the cabinet, nor was he transferred to the six ministries to serve as officials. Instead, he was asked to send him to the Nanjing Ministry of War to be the minister of the bench.
The reason is that Laozi Cui asked someone to sue.
In the 35th year of Wanli, the censor impeached Cui Zhijia to "make friends with eunuchs."
It is very taboo to make friends with eunuchs and make friends with eunuchs. It is good not to be reported to others and get exposed to the public. Once you are on the table, you will not be able to argue. The parties involved have no other way except to resign to cleanse suspicion.
Cui Zhijia wrote a letter to resign as usual, but the emperor stayed at the Central Committee and refused to post it. The Qing Dynasty was in an uproar, and the Censor wrote a letter, which was very energetic that he would not give up until he drove Lord Cui home.
Cui Zhijia had a headache, and the official must be unable to do it anymore, but he really didn't want to go back to his hometown in shame.
Fortunately, the eunuch he made was very important, and finally some operations came to Nanjing. In this way, it could not only block the mouth of Beijing Kedao, but also prevent Cui Zhijia from returning home in a mess.
It's also the best ending.
The two eunuchs who worked hard were Admiral Yin Sui, Shang Bao, and Qian Zhong, the eunuch of Si Libingbi in the third supervisor of Zhidian. This person was the godson of Chen Hong, a big monk in Jiajing.
The other one is the famous man in front of the empress dowager, and Wang Shun, who is known as "Mr. Can you do it?" in the palace.
Qian Zhong and Wang Shun were both from Jizhou, and Jizhou and Cangzhou were the two "main origins" of the eunuchs of this dynasty.
As an official in this dynasty, both the inside and outside dynasties pay attention to teachers, students (father and son) and teachers. In the same year, the relationship between Qian, Wang and Cui Zhijia are fellow townsmen. It is normal for them to respond to each other and help each other.
And what is unknown is that Mr. Cui and Wang Shun are brothers who have changed their posts. When his son Cui Chengxiu saw Wang Shun, he wanted to call him "uncle".
With two eunuchs who write to the backstage, how could Mr. Cui be afraid of Eunuch Wei?
My son has a big pen and is a "uncle". How could Mr. Cui be afraid of revenge on his son?
To be honest, if you only need 10,000 taels of Master Cui, you, Eunuch Wei, will show mercy. Of course, this is also the shrewdness of Master Cui.
Greedy can easily lead to trouble.
Ten thousand taels are not enough to increase or decrease. Your Eunuch Wei can accept it, and Lord Cui can also eat enough. He is not really going to use this money himself, but prepared it for his son Cui Chengxiu.
Next year, Cui Chengxiu will take the imperial examination. Mr. Cui believes that his son will definitely be able to pass the Jinshi with his talent, but whether he can get a high ranking is unknown.
Therefore, you have to manage some points in order to be a good person. This is different from a bribery exam. It is just a high or low ranking, with too much room for operation and no risk.
After being an official for decades, Mr. Cui saved up not much or less. However, he used it to manage the money and asked for a Shujishi, and the arrangements for his son in the future, this amount of money was definitely not enough.
The Minister of War of Nanjing is a cold bench again, and there is no need to worry. Seeing that he is about to retire and return to his hometown at the end of the year, can the Minister of War be unhurried?
This suddenly hit a eunuch Wei, and the minister could not miss the opportunity.
As the saying goes, wealth and honor are in danger,
You, Eunuch Wei, are you doing these things for this?
I won't stop you from getting rich, but it's not an exaggeration to fall out of your fingers.
As expected, Eunuch Wei was willing to share the benefits.
Mr. Cui was satisfied. After so many years, he saw through one thing.
That is to deal with eunuchs, which is much more refreshing than dealing with officials. There are not so many twists and turns, and there are not so much speculation.
Collect money to do business.
After Cui Zhijia returned to the city, he went to find Shangguan, the Minister of War Wang Yongguang of Nanjing.
He wanted to urge the Duke of Wei and others to pay the money quickly, so he had to try to get the eunuchs of Wei into the city, and this matter would have to fall on the soldiers of Nanjing and the eunuchs of the inner garrison.
………….
Wang Yongguang and the inner guard Liu Chaoyong were in a state of turmoil at this moment. They didn't know how to deal with this difficult thing. The two discussed for a long time but had no result, because Duke Wei refused to let go.
This matter became stiff. The person involved refused to agree and asked the two men to persuade the fight.
As soon as he saw Cui Zhijia, Wang Yongguang grabbed him and said, "Brother Pingyuan is here just right, I'm about to ask someone to find you." Although he was the other party's superior, Wang Yongguang knew Cui Zhijia's past, so he never became an official.
"What happened today is like a fire at the city gate, which affected the fish in the pond."
Cui Zhijia shook his head and said with confusion: "But I don't know what this matter has to do with me and Eunuch Liu, so I want you to be so frowning?"
Wang Yongguang was stunned. He thought about it carefully that this matter had nothing to do with him. The reason why he got involved was that it was the request of Duke Wei, otherwise it would have nothing to do with him.
The other side of Eunuch Liu didn't want to interfere at all, and even the information about Duke of Wei and others going to "strike" Wei Liangchen was sent by him.
The reason for the intervention later was that the Duke of Wei came to ask for help in person, and the other was that Nanjing was revived. Wei Liangchen led his troops outside the city to make a big fuss, which was really bad.
The third one was a little selfish and wanted to take this opportunity to highlight the importance of his inner garrison. However, Wei Liangchen did not give him any face, and he was useless to take care of him in all his previous care.
But now is not the time to be skeptical with Wei Liangchen. If the matter is not resolved as soon as possible, it will be difficult for the emperor to explain.
The central official of the Jiangnan guards was attacked by the Shence Gate, which was guarding the inner garrison. Who dares to say that this has nothing to do with his guards?
You know, after hearing that Wei Liangchen was not dead, Eunuch Liu was relieved. But he didn't expect that this kid would still have the energy to cause trouble after being seriously injured, and even made a coffin to seek justice. It was really annoying and funny.
There were so many public officials appearing in the city overnight, but this kid was not behind the scenes, so Eunuch Liu would live in vain for this life.
But even if you know, Eunuch Liu can't say anything. Wei Liangchen is an eunuch. Isn't he a eunuch?
In the current situation, Eunuch Liu even if he doesn't stand, Wei Liangchen has to stand, but Duke Wei is stiff and telling him what he can do. Eunuch Liu can't pay for it out of his own pocket.
You should know that the soldiers under Wei Liangchen are so capable, Eunuch Liu will never inform him. The two families will suffer losses, which will best suit his inner garrison interests.
Now the family is strong and aggressive, and even Eunuch Liu doesn't give you any face.
The family is weak and stubborn, and it is really hard to deal with when he is holding him, Eunuch Liu,
Eunuch Liu also knew Cui Zhijia, and knew that he had a lot to do with the palace, so he also wanted to hear his opinions.
"This matter has nothing to do with me, but it is not related to it at the moment. Brother Pingyuan, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled?" Wang Yongguang smiled bitterly.
Mr. Cui thought for a while and said, "From my view, why don't you let the little Eunuch Wei enter the city."
"Let him into the city?"
Wang Yongguang and Liu Chaoyong were both stunned.
"I just went to Zhengyang Gate to see it. The little Eunuch Wei shouted that the heaven was punishing the traitor. If he didn't let him enter the city, wouldn't he say that the two were also traitors? Then he said that the two were not traitors. If he refused to enter the city like this, he might also be the same as the Duke of Wei..."
Mr. Cui must remind these two people that one is the inner garrison of Nandu and the other is the Minister of War in Nanjing. They represent the emperor and the court, not the representatives of Nandu and other ministers. Therefore, they must remain "neutral" and must not fall into it.
And at this moment, only these two people can better restrain both parties.
When two tigers fight, the one who holds a spear next to them determines the power.
Shangshu Wang was a little confused. He knew what Cui Zhijia meant, but he was worried that it would cause chaos if Wei Yan entered the city.
"I don't have to worry about this soldier. I have been observing Xiao Wei for many days. He is a Lianming person... He can also suppress others by his name." Mr. Cui chuckled, and he believed that the two people in front of him could understand what he meant.
"What do you think Eunuch Liu?" Wang Yongguang kicked the ball to Liu Chaoyong.
Liu Chao pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
………
Just after noon, the inner garrison and the Nanjing Ministry of War came to meet Eunuch Wei.
The visitor represented the inner garrison Eunuch Liu, the Ministry of War Wang Shangshu and the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Justice.
That is, Eunuch Wei can enter the city, but one must not invade the people; two must not interfere with the officials; three must not cause injuries.
As long as Eunuch Wei agrees to these three things, he can enter the city and enter the city openly.
Eunuch Wei would not have been arbitrary in the city, but after hearing these three points, he was overjoyed and responded quickly.
Soon, the Zhengyang City Gate slowly opened.
Eunuch Wei held his heart and was excited and ordered to carry the coffin into the city.
The entry ceremony was very tragic, and the white flag was almost produced.
When the news reached the Duke of Wei's Mansion, Xu scolded Wang Yongguang and Liu Chaoy for being injustice.
