At this time, Wan'an was still a young man under thirty years old, but although he was young, he was good at calculations, and he became the biggest beneficiary of the emperor's southern tour.
From being a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he was directly transferred to the cabinet to participate in machine maintenance. In one year, he completed a path that others could not complete in twenty years.
In the original history, Wan An did not have much achievements in his life, but he was committed to political struggle and was good at fighting.
First, he led a team to attack Wang Zhi and abolished Wang Zhi's West Factory. Then, after being driven out of Beijing by Zhu Jianshen, Wan An led a team to attack Northern Shilin. He was the one who put the political dispute between the north and the south of the Ming Dynasty on the table, and he It was really done. The Southern Shilin took control of the imperial court, starting from Wan'an.
And his path to power also started by clinging to powerful eunuchs.
His current good friend Zhan Shili Tai is the adopted son of the eunuch Cheng'en. He is younger than him, but Wan'an calls Li Tai his brother, which is very popular with him.
Li Tai and Wan An were in the same position. Whenever he was promoted, he would recommend Wan An above him. This sudden attack into the cabinet was due to Li Tai's promotion, and Zhu Jianshen's name was placed on the throne. When Zhu Jianshen saw the name Wan'an, he immediately knew the details of this guy, and directly issued an order, Let him take care of the machine maintenance.
Zhu Jianshen still has some expectations for Wan An.
Even if history gives him a low evaluation, saying that Wan'an has no real talent and hard work, he is in a high position, but he shirks everything, he is keen to make friends with eunuchs, cling to powerful people, Wan Guifei is the favorite in the harem, Wan An is attentive, and we are all named Wan, you must be sure. She is my aunt, a cabinet minister who claims to be Wan's nephew.
But history is a little girl who lets others dress up. Although Wan An is unwilling to take responsibility and shrinks when encountering problems, he is able to accomplish several major things, proving that he is definitely not an ordinary person, just because He met Zhu Jianshen, who had a strong desire for power.
When Zhu Jianshen was in his thirties when his life energy reached its peak, having a tool man was not a bad thing for him.
In history, the reasons why Wan'an was dismissed from office are very ridiculous.
A chief minister of the cabinet who was in his 60s or 70s showed off his skills to the emperor. He first showed them to Zhu Jianshen and received a certain amount of respect. After Zhu Youtang succeeded to the throne, he repeated his old tricks.
Zhu Youtang had just ascended the throne, and when he was thinking of doing a good job, the chief assistant of the cabinet presented him with a small box of memorials, and found that they were all about Fang Zhongshu, and the signature at the end was "Chen Anjin".
Seeing this scene, Zhu Youtang was furious and asked the emperor's personal eunuch to take it to the cabinet. He questioned Wan An in front of the cabinet officials and said, "Is this what a minister should do?" "Tell me about it." , my father died young, is this room surgery the culprit?"
Wan An was ashamed and sweating, lying on the ground, unable to make a sound.
Then the situation in the court changed dramatically, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty began to impeach him. After the memorial was submitted, Zhu Youtang recruited Wan'an and asked others to read the memorial to impeach him.
When Wan An was reading, he knelt down and begged for mercy many times. He had no intention of leaving, but Zhu Youtang really couldn't tolerate him anymore and directly ordered the personal eunuch to come forward and take off his palace dental plaque. He drove him out of the palace. Wan'an returned home, panicked, and petitioned to retire, which was granted.
It sounds ridiculous, but it happened in history.
After the court meeting, when everyone gathered together and started playing, Wan An was not idle either.
He first changed into casual clothes at home, then immediately left the house and took a carriage to a teahouse...
After getting off the carriage, Wan An looked around before going up to the teahouse. In the private room, his good friend Li Tai had already made tea.
Li Tai was Cheng En's adopted son. He was born in a relatively poor family, but he was good at studying. After receiving Cheng En's support, he obtained the honors and became an official in the court. However, only people within the circle knew about their relationship, and those outside the circle knew No one knows.
After Wan An sat down, he first took a sip of tea, and then quickly put down the tea cup: "Brother Li, you know what happened during the court meeting today."
"It has been spread for a long time... You have just joined the cabinet to handle the secrets. During this sensitive period, please do not act rashly, otherwise all the previous plans will be in vain."
Although the court situation at this time was firmly controlled by Xu Li, there were careerists no matter what period. These young people were halfway up the mountain, looking at Li Xian and Xu Youzhen standing at the top. They were very envious and wanted to Step up and take their place.
As for Wan'an, Li Tai was the least conspicuous among the hundreds of political cliques in the imperial court.
"This Ge Wangyang is just like me. He is very close to Zhao Huanong. His Majesty should have taken the lead in this matter..."
After listening to Li Tai's words, Wan An's eyes lit up.
"Since His Majesty the Emperor takes the lead, it is the Holy Will. I should support it at this time."
After listening to Wan An's words, Li Tai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"No, absolutely not... You are only joining the cabinet to handle administrative affairs at this time, and it is only temporary. If you speak out rashly when the situation is unclear, it will be difficult for you to keep your position in the future when the collection collection under the new tax system is over. Moreover, there are Xu Youzhen, Li Xian, Han Yong and others in the cabinet, but they have not expressed their opinions. If you are a temporary person and take the lead in showing your courtesy to His Majesty at this time, it will also make them unhappy, and it will not be good for the future. "
"What's more, you are a soft-spoken person. If you support the memorial, whether it can be sent to the emperor is a matter of two opinions. Even if it is sent, His Majesty the Emperor may not read it at this time. Even if he does, it will only make His Majesty think that you He is a villain who is good at studying and cannot please both ends..."
Wan An squinted his eyes, paused for a moment, and suddenly said: "If I have the opportunity to meet the Holy Spirit alone..." ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
"Don't think too much. You have no chance to meet the saint alone. Even if you are the godfather, you have to look at the faces of Zhao Huanong, Gao Yi and others in the palace. He can't arrange it, and there is no way to arrange it." Li Tai hurriedly stopped him .
"Why are you so anxious to express yourself? You have already taken a big step. Being steady is more important than anything else..."
"Brother Li, you don't know something. I really want to make progress. After studying for so many years and being an imperial scholar for so many years, it's not easy to get a chance. I really don't want to give up..." Wan An sighed. , said slowly.
