Therefore, the Dongchang officials quickly surrounded Donglin officials such as Hui Shiyang, Yao Zongzhong, and Miao Changqi.
Yao Zongzhong, on the other hand, was a little more arrogant because he had just slapped Yidongchang Fanfu, so he said with confidence: "Don't panic, gentlemen! This Xu Xianchun is just a military officer, what qualifications does he have to block our way!" "
As he said that, Yao Zongzhong shouted to Xu Xianchun: "Xu Xianchun, don't think that we are afraid of you because you are in charge of punishing thousands of households in Dongchang. Aren't you afraid that we will file a memorial to impeach you? Don't forget, your The promotion is controlled by us. Liu Guojin, the head of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, is my friend. You'd better get off your horse and kneel down to apologize to us. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Xu Xianchun was really scared and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Because Xu Xianchun didn't know what the emperor's attitude was towards these civil servants. After all, neither Taichang, Wanli, nor the previous Emperor Longqing would be too harsh to the civil servants.
Moreover, Xu Xianchun had to admit that his career was indeed controlled by civilian officials.
After all, the promotion of military attachés in the Ming Dynasty was controlled by the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War.
Moreover, military attaches do not have the power to impeach civilian officials, but civilian officials can impeach military attaches.
Because all the officials of Kedao are civil servants.
In general.
In the late Ming Dynasty, when the civil servants knelt down when they saw the civil servants, it was not just a matter of words. It was because the military officers' interests in many aspects were controlled by the civil servants.
"Step aside!"
At this time, Yao Zongzhong shouted again at the Dongchang fan who was slapped in front of him.
Seeing that his boss Xu Xianchun didn't say anything, the Dongchang superintendent didn't dare to mess with Yao Zongzhong in front of him, so he really stepped aside.
Yao Zongzhong smiled coldly and left here.
The other civil servants also smiled proudly and left.
The Dongchang fanmen surrounding them were like a thinned net, unable to stop these civil servants at all.
Xu Xianchun did not dare to have an attack. He clenched his fists and watched these civil servants walk away.
This is the toughest he has ever been.
Before the factory manager was replaced, he had already knelt down instead of still riding on the horse.
But even so, Xu Xianchun was still angry in his heart. How could he not miss the days when factory guards and civil servants were at odds with each other.
And Xu Xianchun didn't want Wei Zhongxian to feel that he was incompetent.
Therefore, Xu Xianchun still ordered one of his subordinates: "Lu Baihu! Take someone with you and follow him. Don't let Wang Wenyan escape!"
…
"Ancestor, the people we followed Wang Wenyan came back and said that Wang Wenyan was protected by a bunch of civil servants from the Donglin Party. Xu Xianchun and the Dongchang people went there and failed to catch him!"
Wang An's confidant, the eunuch Wang Ge, returned to Wang An's residence and told Wang An about the incident.
Wang An smiled happily after hearing this: "Very good! These civil servants, especially the Donglin Party officials who control the way of speech, are not easy to mess with. The temple emperor was helpless by them back then, let alone now The emperor who has just ascended the throne, with the help of these people, Wang Wenyan will be fine, Wang Wenyan will be fine, and our family will be fine!"
After saying that, Wang An asked again: "What did the emperor say about me complaining about illness?"
Then, Wang An asked with a proud smile: "Are you not allowing me to recuperate? You said that the Supervisor of Ceremonies cannot live without our family. If our family gets sick, the Supervisor of Ceremonies will not be able to function. You even want me to be in charge of the affairs." Ceremony supervisor?"
Wang Ge hurriedly replied: "It's ready!"
"What? That's right!"
Wang An suddenly stood up after hearing this.
Wang Ge hurriedly knelt down: "My son doesn't dare to hide it, it's true! My son really wants to report it to his godfather."
With that said, Wang Ge took out the memorandum criticizing the Red Army from his sleeve, and then held it on his head with both hands.
Wang An didn't answer, and only asked in horror: "What's going on? Please tell me in detail!"
Wang Ge said: "My servant only found out that it was Liu Shimin who was in charge of scriptures in the inner house who sent your memorandum to the emperor overnight. Then the emperor praised him for his diligence, and also gave him a name and let him enter the ceremonial department. Serve as eunuch Bingbi, and then let him approve it."
Wang An was stunned for two seconds after hearing this.
Keng!
Immediately afterwards.
Wang An waved his arm vigorously and dropped the kiln cup in his hand on the floor tiles. It shattered on the spot and porcelain flowers flew everywhere.
"Lost!"
Wang An said with a trembling voice.
Immediately, Wang An was so anxious that he vomited out a mouthful of blood.
Then, Wang An gritted his teeth again: "None of these ungrateful bastards has a conscience! Thanks to our family being so good to them, let's just say that Wei Zhongxian, if our family hadn't promoted him, he would have become one of the twenty-four yamen. The eunuch of the Xixin Department? As a result, he went into the Hakka family behind our back, and Liu Shimin stepped on our head and entered the eunuch of the Department of Ceremonies. People's hearts are unpredictable! Dare to love this emperor, as soon as he changes, he will hide it Why do you want to change your family and climb a high branch?"
As Wang An said this, he lay down on his back and said, "You can't play tricks with the emperor after all. How can a fly fly shake a tree? The emperor can kill me with just a decree!"
Seeing this, Wang Ge asked worriedly: "Ancestor, what's wrong with you? Do you want to call a doctor?"
Wang An asked Wang Ge: "Are you also thinking about something else?"
Wang Ge hurriedly knelt down: "My son doesn't dare!"
But Wang An said: "It's time to think of other things, otherwise there will be no place for you as the eunuch in charge of the twenty-four yamen of the inner court."
Then, Wang An asked Wang Ge to help him up.
Seeing this, Wang Ge hurriedly asked: "Ancestor, why don't you rest first?"
Wang An broke away from Wang Ge's hand: "Our family has to go into the palace and go to the ceremonial office to work for the emperor. If we continue to recover, we will be sold out by those bastards! After all, our family is just the emperor's slaves. How can I be worthy of having a temper with the Emperor!"
Wang Ge was therefore busy helping Wang An: "Then my son will help you enter the palace."
"Go away! Now our family has become an ominous person. You will be unlucky if you follow me. Now go find Wei Zhongxian and Liu Shimin and give them money. Go!"
Wang An said and pushed Wang Ge.
Wang Ge was a little hesitant at first, but after Wang An repeatedly urged him, he still left Wang An.
And Wang An walked towards the palace.
…
at the same time.
Wei Zhongxian also rushed to Qianqing Palace.
Because Wei Zhongxian had just learned from someone sent by Xu Xianchun that the operation to arrest Wang Wenyan had gone wrong. A group of desperate civilian officials had prevented Wang Wenyan from being successfully arrested.
For this reason, Wei Zhongxian had to come to ask Emperor Zhu Youxiao for instructions.
When Wei Zhongxian rushed to the Qianqing Palace, Wang An also came to the Qianqing Palace to thank Zhu Youxiao.
So, the two looked at each other.
Wei Zhongxian didn't know that Wang An had secretly asked Wang Wenyan to mobilize civil servants to deal with him.
Therefore, Wei Zhongxian still smiled politely at Wang An and said hello: "Old ancestor!"
Wang An also smiled slightly.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao happened to see Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi because he had just returned from Wenhua Palace, and asked, "Why are you two here?"
Wei Zhongxian glanced at Wang An hurriedly, meaning to let Wang An reply first.
But after Wang An knew that Zhu Youxiao had appeared, he knelt down to Wei Zhongxian and said, "Ancestor, please spare my life?"
Zhu Youxiao was stunned when he saw this scene.
Wei Zhongxian himself was confused.
