Early this morning, when Zhang Mingwei was still sleeping, it was Wang Erbiao's turn to serve Emperor Chongzhen, so he got up very early and hurried over.
Unexpectedly, he met his godfather halfway.
Since the last time because of the good news, Wang Chengen had been ignoring him for the past few days, but this time, when he saw him, he actually sent the people around him away and called him to talk alone.
When Wang Erbiao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He thought that his godfather's anger had finally subsided, so he hurried over to serve him diligently.
Unexpectedly, Wang Chengen entrusted him with the matter of going to Shandong to investigate the Yanshenggong family.
Wang Erbiao was a little dumbfounded after hearing this. So who is Yan Shenggong? Can ordinary people check him? Once those civil officials find out, the memorial to impeach him will definitely be like snowflakes.
Seeing him like this, Wang Chengen just said lightly: "This is the instructions from Lord Long Live, don't screw it up!"
When Wang Erbiao heard this, he wanted to ask for advice, but as a result, Wang Chengen had already thrown away his hands and walked away.
Revenge, this is definitely revenge, my godfather’s anger has not gone away yet!
Wang Erbiao thought, and was a little dumbfounded.
When he came to his senses, he was worried. Of course, he also had resentment towards Wang Chengen in his heart.
Unexpectedly, before leaving, I came to Duke Xingguo's mansion to convey the decree. I also wanted to meet Duke Xingguo and curry favor with Duke Xingguo. However, I heard that Duke Xingguo was also explaining things about Duke Yansheng.
This time, his mind became more active.
He is from the palace and can be regarded as one of Wang Chengen's confidants. Of course he knows Wang Chengen's previous status in the palace!
Speaking of which, when Duke Xingguo suddenly appeared in the palace, Wang Chengen was promoted from the eunuch of Bingbi, and he successively overthrew the number one eunuch in the palace, eunuch Wang Dehua and the governor of the East Factory, and the second-ranked eunuch Wang Dehua. The horse eunuch was in charge of the eunuchs, thus becoming the first eunuch in the palace.
Wang Chengen's attitude towards Duke Xingguo was naturally noticed by Wang Erbiao. Others didn't know it, but he knew it very well. The weight of Duke Xingguo was very important in Wang Chengen's heart. As long as it is the matter of Duke Xingguo? Wang Chengen will definitely do his best.
On weekdays, the words he spoke to Xingguo Gong were all expressed with respect.
Inferring from various things, Wang Erbiao was sure that Wang Chengen was where he was today probably because he was in favor with Duke Xingguo.
Let's take a look. As long as the person Xingguo Gong likes, no matter what his previous rank is, he can become famous immediately. For example, the former prefect of Changsha has now become the chief minister of the cabinet!
Wang Chengen is just one of the many eunuchs who hold pens, and now he has become the number one eunuch in the palace.
This means that as long as you please Duke Xingguo, many things that were originally impossible will become possible!
Thinking of this, Wang Erbiao's heart became hot.
So, he quickly asked Zhang Mingwei: "Guo Gong? Is this Kong Dazheng incident related to Yan Shenggong? Could it be that Yan Shenggong instigated it?"
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he raised his head and looked at him and said, "Isn't this nonsense! How dare you go against me just because of Kong Dazheng?"
Although it is indirectly opposed, it is definitely not something ordinary people would dare to think about. This is for sure.
Hearing Zhang Mingwei's words and understanding the inside story, Wang Erbiao said angrily: "You are so brave, you dare to bully the Duke's house! Others are afraid of him, but our family is not afraid. We will definitely do it." Speak out this evil breath for the sake of the Duke!"
Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei was a little surprised: Yan Shenggong is a special case. Generally speaking, no one would think of fighting against Yan Shenggong.
Wang Erbiao saw that Duke Xingguo looked a little surprised, and felt even more happy. He approached Zhang Mingwei, patted his chest, and said indignantly: "Our family has just received a job and is going to Shandong to check on Duke Yan. Don't worry, Duke, our family will definitely do it." I would say this for my father!"
It turns out that he was sent to Shandong to investigate! Only then did Zhang Mingwei understand, and he said with a smile: "Haha, I am taking the lead in this matter. There is no need for Yan Shenggong to exist. Since the emperor has sent you, then it is up to you!"
When Wang Erbiao heard this, he was slightly surprised at first.
He didn't expect that it was Duke Xingguo who wanted to deal with Duke Yansheng! Come to think of it, now that Duke Xingguo is at the peak of his power, Duke Yansheng comes to touch the tiger's butt. This is obviously because he is impatient!
The Duke was angry, no matter what kind of Duke you are, you even said that there is no need to exist. Obviously, this is to kill the chicken and scare the monkey. Even Yan Shenggong offended Xing Guo Gong will end up like this. Others, dare to Did he offend Duke Xingguo?
At this moment, he finally came to an understanding of Zhang Mingwei's vicious revenge.
Afterwards, Wang Erbiao felt happy. Because he happens to have this errand, as long as he does it well, he will definitely be able to please the Duke. Moreover, it is definitely not an easy task to deal with Yan Shenggong's errand. However, the more so, if it can be done well, the greater the possibility of being valued by the Duke.
In this way, maybe one day, the Guo Guo Guo will feel that he will be easier to deal with than Wang Chengen in the palace, and then...
Thinking about this possibility, even if it is not high, there is a glimmer of hope after all!
Thinking this way, Wang Erbiao couldn't help but laugh.
When he came to his senses, he hurriedly assured Zhang Mingwei in a firm tone: "Don't worry, your Majesty, if this matter is left to our family, your Majesty will be satisfied!"
Zhang Mingwei didn't think much about it. Since Emperor Chongzhen had decided to send Dongchang there, he was no longer afraid of the Jin Yiwei. There are a lot of things to do, it would be better to worry less about them.
………………
When Zhang Mingwei entered the palace to discuss matters, it was already the time for the imperial office to be released, and the supervisors inside were leaving the Imperial College together.
Na Vincent was also walking with several of his friends, talking quietly as they walked.
"Why is there still no movement until now? Have you heard about it?"
"No, it seems that the emperor suddenly kicked everyone out yesterday, leaving only the minister-level adults to discuss matters, so Mr. Fang has no chance, right?"
"Then there will definitely be some movement in the next two days. I have already connected with them over there. As soon as the trouble breaks out, I will go and support them."
"..."
While they were talking, suddenly, one of them exclaimed: "Look, Mr. Fang is here!"
When Vincent heard this, he quickly looked up.
Sure enough, they saw Fang Kongzhen coming here with his servant. Suddenly, Vincent was overjoyed and quickly said to his companions: "It seems that they are here to discuss the details with us!"
While they were talking, they were about to greet him when they suddenly discovered that Fang Kongzheng stopped at the notice wall of the Imperial College, where big-character posters were usually posted, and then asked the boy to post something.
When Wen Sheng saw it, he was immediately surprised again, and quickly said to his companions: "Everyone, it seems that Mr. Fang is going to post a battle message. Let's go to support him!"
"Okay, go quickly!"
"Go! Go! Go!"
"..."
This group of people hurriedly rushed over, as if they were given a shot of blood.
When they were about to arrive, Fang Kongzhen had already put up the big-character poster, and then led the boy to the other wall. Looking at this posture, it seems that wherever big-character posters are usually posted, there is a copy.
Seeing this, Vincent was even more delighted. After admiring Lord Fang's fighting enthusiasm, he quickly greeted his companions and read Lord Fang's battle message before going to say hello to Lord Fang.
As a result, they were so happy that when they saw the big-character poster posted on the wall, the expressions froze on their faces and they were dumbfounded.
After a long time, they came back to their senses, and suddenly, they all looked at each other.
"What's going on? Why did Mr. Fang change his mind?"
"Yes, even if Mr. Fang is afraid of that man's power, he will keep quiet for the most part, but why, he actually supports Xin Xue!"
"It's so disgusting. Look, touting this new learning is the study of things to achieve knowledge, which is advocated by sages. They will retreat from difficulties even if they are trivial. Are they scholars? For the sake of knowledge and truth, they also say that they will learn the Tao every day and night. Death is inevitable!"
"No, the most disgusting thing is this. He said that he misunderstood Xinxue before, but now he knows that Xinxue is good. He actually asked Xingguo Gong to take him as his disciple! This... this..."
"..."
At this moment, these people were a little frustrated. I originally thought I could be a leader against the new learning, but in the end, I betrayed them and even went to learn the new learning. In this way, you can imagine how big a blow it will be to those who oppose the new learning!
After being dumbfounded for a while, they all had no idea and asked Vincent who was taking the lead.
"What should we do? This matter can't continue!"
"That man has so much power that even the emperor welcomed him out of the city yesterday. It is said that the emperor treats him as one of his own. He can crush us to death with just one finger. It doesn't seem surprising that Mr. Fang would shrink back. Otherwise, , let’s forget it, right?”
"Yeah, although we didn't directly oppose that person, after all, we were opposed to what he created. Once he is unhappy, we will be dead!"
"..."
Fang Kongzhen's "betrayal" obviously dealt a heavy blow to their morale.
This situation left the scholar at a loss. To be honest, he was also afraid.
When he couldn't give any ideas, some people backed down.
"I think this matter should end here!"
"Master Fang can't bear it anymore, so I won't use my arms as a chariot. I'll quit."
"Take care of yourself, bye!"
"..."
One person slipped away, and the others followed suit. In just a short time, all these ignorant supervisors disappeared, leaving only the frightened Vincent alone.
He turned around and saw that many people were looking at Fang Kongzhen's big-character poster on the bulletin board, and they were all looking at him amidst the discussion.
He couldn't stay any longer, so he squeezed in, took off Fang Kongzheng's big-character poster, folded it, and left in panic under their gaze.
This matter was so unexpected that he decided to go to Kong Dazheng for advice.
