News spreads faster and faster, and its impact becomes larger and larger.
The officials above the court knew one thing very well at this time, that is, Yan Shenggong's Mansion was not only famous, but also very powerful.
Where did so much land and so much gold and silver come from.
No one dared to elaborate on this issue.
Because once it goes on, it will be blamed on Confucius, which is somewhat contrary to the sages.
I don't dare to say it openly, but it can't stop one person from thinking about it alone. After private discussions, the conclusion is also the same. I don't know how many people have been harmed over the years, and I don't know how much sacrificial money has been embezzled and embezzled, so that we have this huge wealth. .
Every year at the Confucius Ceremony, the local government gave money to the court. So much money was not given to the saint as a filial piety, but it was all saved by his descendants.
And with the help of thoughtful people, within half a month, this matter spread all over the country, both north and south, and on both sides of the Yellow River.
Of course, ordinary people didn't have much interest in this kind of thing, but the students and scholars fell into a brief confusion.
The greatest ideal of these student princes is to be named on the gold medal list. The slogans of all of them are to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, to do things for the people, to establish names for saints, and to create peace for all generations.
But in the final analysis, deep down in my heart, I still miss my beautiful wife and concubine, and my high-ranking official and generous salary.
But it's just what I think in my heart, I can't say it to others, but now, the fig leaf has been ripped off all at once, and the blood of saints is inevitably clichéd. Everyone is just for money, so don't pretend to be noble for me.
And this scandal in Duke Yansheng's Mansion, so much gold and silver, made the scholars in the world sneer at them and look down on them, but at the same time they have illusions and longings. I have been given so much silver, how should I spend it? What kind of great achievements should be made so that the descendants of your family can enjoy such glory and wealth.
Zhu Jianshen asked Li Xian to handle this matter, and Li Xian also racked his brains and tried his best to handle the errand.
Kong Chengde of Yanshenggong Mansion was sentenced to be beheaded in public, and the cost of commemorating Confucius this year was slightly reduced...it was counted as a beating.
The reputation of Yan Shenggong Mansion has also been greatly affected by this scandal. Of course, this impact is long-term.
The destruction of many things that are deeply ingrained in our hearts begins slowly with self-doubt.
This is equivalent to casting a haze over the minds of readers.
Kong Chengde was killed and Kong Hongxu died. When facing Xu Youzhen and others, the relatives of the Kong family had no choice but to be obedient. The money Kong Hongxu promised to the court was directly withheld by Xu Youzhen when the family was divided.
And all the fertile land was confiscated, and tens of thousands of households had their household registrations restored...
For such a big matter, according to the behavior of court officials, the impeachment memorial must have been thrown at Zhu Jianshen like snowflakes. But this time, the officials were surprisingly quiet. They discussed privately, but no one dared to target Yansheng Gongfu. Things come to pass.
To put it bluntly, I didn’t dare to face the fear in my heart, and I didn’t dare to shout for Ori...
While everyone was still immersed in the scandal of Yan Shenggong's mansion and couldn't extricate themselves, a young eunuch walked out of the Rice Noodles and Oil Bureau and began his rise.
Zhang Bao went to the Rice Noodles and Oil Bureau in person and took Wang Zhi away in front of many eunuchs. The eunuchs on the side couldn't help but think that Wang Zhi would be imprisoned when he left the house.
When Wang Zhi saw Zhang Bao, he was very frightened. Could it be that Zhang Bao still couldn't tolerate him?
Although he was panicking inside, Wang Zhi's behavior was neither arrogant nor impatient.
Because your own safety is in the hands of others, when a person decides to let you die, no matter how much you beg for mercy, it is useless.
He followed Zhang Bao out of the Rice Noodles and Oil Bureau and walked towards the harem.
This direction aroused some doubts in Wang Zhi's heart, but he did not dare to think about it for the better.
Wang Zhi followed Zhang Bao. The dullness in his eyes had all disappeared, replaced by shrewdness. This short period of training made Wang Zhi deeply aware of the weakness of his own strength, and also allowed Wang Zhi to know more accurately what the palace was like. exist.
I have already faced big bosses, and there is no need to pretend anymore.
After walking for a while, Wang Zhi asked Zhang Bao: "Eunuch Zhang, I'm just a little eunuch and I don't pose the slightest threat to you. Why do you think so highly of me and send me on my way in person?"
After hearing Wang Zhi's words, Zhang Bao paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at the slightly immature little eunuch.
"How do you know that I'm going to send you on your way? Can't I send you to heaven and wealth?"
"This slave has already achieved heavenly wealth. If it weren't for Eunuch Zhang's intervention, I would still be with His Highness the First Prince."
"Hahaha, that doesn't count as being rich and powerful. At most, you can just be a little rich and be safe without being bullied by others."
"You also know that in the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor is the king. Of course you don't want to stop here. To put it bluntly, you have spent all your efforts to stay with His Highness the First Prince because you just want to enter the Qianqing Palace and be with His Majesty the Emperor. Come and do things around you.”
At first, Zhang Bao believed that Wang Zhi was the replica of Wang Zhen, but during this period of observation, Zhang Bao knew that Wang Zhi was far superior to Wang Zhen. If he was cultivated and loyal to His Majesty, he could be a sharp sword in his hand...
Although Zhang Bao was a little worried about what happened to the eldest prince, he could not make decisions for the emperor.
After Wang Zhi heard what Zhang Bao said, he was speechless, because what Zhang Bao said was exactly what he planned after entering the palace.
"Hmph, I have investigated what you did at Zhennanguan..."
After hearing Zhang Bao's words, Wang Zhi's pupils dilated instantly.
"What, what happened..."
"Shang Ming is a Korean national. How could he accept you as his grandson, spend so much energy to bring you into the palace, and sell so many favors to send you to the eldest prince..."
"Shang Ming's godson is also a Korean national, and he has not been in the palace for a long time. Shang Ming went to Guangxi on business, and his precious godson also went with him, but he didn't come back. Huh, what do you think you did? It’s watertight, but you’re still too young.”
"The eunuch beside Shang Ming watched you with his own eyes, pushed him into the water, faked the scene of him falling into the water, and then fished him out of the water after Shang Ming arrived. He became seriously ill, which left an impression on Shang Ming's heart. , he gave you money, but you didn't accept it, but you told him that you wanted to serve Shang Ming by his side, provide for him until his death, and demote yourself one level to become his grandson..."
"And he also brought you into the palace. To be honest, you do have a way. You know where the eunuchs' destiny is. You will provide for them until they die, wear sackcloth and mourning, and serve you by your side. Shang Ming, this old fox, is so fooled by you. Round and round, he really treats you as his own grandson, but if he knew that his godson died in your hands, he doesn’t know how he would feel.”
After Zhang Bao finished speaking, his slightly cloudy eyes stared at Wang Zhi closely.
At this time, Wang Zhi was indeed a little panicked.
Shang Ming's godson was a few years older than him, and he was also the first person Wang Zhi killed with his own hands. He watched Shang Ming's godson struggling in the water, and had the chance to climb onto the case several times, but was beaten by Wang Zhi with a wooden stick. , rushed down again and again.
This matter can be said to be his secret. Once this secret is no longer a secret, he will lose his biggest support.
Zhang Bao was very happy to see Wang Zhi in such a panic state.
"Eunuch Zhang, you are making a false accusation..."
"Wang Zhi, you are making excuses..."
"Do you know why others didn't report you immediately? It's because you didn't have much value at that time, but if you become valuable after entering the palace, he can use this to threaten you and get what he wants. If it were, if I had not arranged for you to leave the eldest prince, you would probably feel sad because of this matter at this time."
"Those of us who are eunuchs are the most cunning, so playing cunning in the palace is the most worthless thing. Everyone can see it clearly. The more cunning we play and the more tricks we use behind our backs, the more we will die. It’s not far.”
"I'm not lying to you. Your Majesty really wants to see you. Please sort out your emotions to avoid being rude in front of you later..."
