Beijing, Dashi Yongfang, Xiaoyao Building.

In the tavern, there was a lot of people.

People who come and go drinking, talking, and passing the time, it can be said that it is everywhere, especially in the lobby on this floor, which is even more lively.

Living in this vast world, who does not understand sorrow? Who doesn't have a big affair?

With all this, there must be a lot of troubles.

And men are the ones in this world who know how to carry everything by themselves, usually silent, but with the foil of fine wine, everything is not so different.

Drunk to look at character, wine virtue has little to do with learning.

As the nearest Fang City of the official house, this also makes the business of Xiaoyao Lou boom, according to rumors, the owner behind this Xiaoyao Lou is a nobleman in the capital.

Just because this noble man likes the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, so when he was preparing to build Xiaoyao Building, he set the style, and everyone who came was a guest, no matter whether he was noble or low.

Of course, each of these six-storey buildings has its own merits.

Except for the hall on the first floor, which is not distinguished from the high and low, the rest of the five floors, all of which have the conditions for entering the building, not rich, not talented to go to drink.

The unique signboard of Xiaoyao Building also makes it a must in the capital, so whether it is a flat-headed common person or a dignitary, it is a joy to come here.

Where there are people, that is the rivers and lakes.

Especially this Xiaoyao Building, which was deliberately built by the owner behind it, which makes all the new things in the capital, the imperial court, and the inner court, and the drinkers of Xiaoyao Lou not know about it.

Tasting fine wine and eating side dishes, this is a unique taste in my heart.

Zhao Zongwu, Zu Zerun, and Zu Kefa are like this, but at this time, their attention is all on the wine guests in the hall.

"I'm just wondering, you said that the emperor's nurse, Mrs. Fengsheng, although she is not young, but she looks very smart, which is called a taste.

Belch......; But I can't figure it out, why does the Holy Lady have to go to the father-in-law of the inner court to eat? Could it be that she came out and remarried, isn't it? ”

In the right oblique corner of the hall, a strong man dressed like a government official, his eyes were blurred, his body was full of wine, and he began to speak with a big tongue.

"The father-in-law of the inner court you are talking about is a scoundrel, Wei Zhongxian!" One of the drinkers at the next table, following the words of the strong man, rejoiced in the rejoicing of the fact that he was not presentable, even though he was already drunk.

"That's right, it's him!"

In the noisy hall, half of the attention is gathered here, and the strong man and the little official may have been suppressed at the mansion gate for too long, and he took advantage of this little bit of alcohol, and he became much bolder.

"According to the news from the inner court, I also heard from others, ......hiccup; If you listen, you can't tell anyone else! ”

"Hiccup......; In order to be favored in front of the emperor, Wei Zhongxian robbed him of his brother's food, and it is really realistic to say that Mrs. Fengsheng!

The original anti-food, the Wei Dynasty, was castrated into the palace since childhood, so that thing was cut clean. Even if you eat against Madame Bongsheng, you can't satisfy her!

Wei Zhongxian didn't know where he got the news, just where Wei Chao was resting, in the bed where Wei Chao and Mrs. Fengsheng slept, he satisfied her well......"

Speaking of excitement, the strong man even had a golden light in his eyes.

"Fuck you! The eunuchs are all going to be castrated into the palace, and if he has no eggs, what satisfaction will he have! You're just fucking bullshit......"

"That's it! Bragging is not the right place. ”

"It's ......"

“……”

After the words of the strong man and the little official were finished, they attracted more people's attention, which was conjectured after listening to it, and of course some people reprimanded and refuted it at the time.

After all, this eunuch has no eggs. What does he take to be satisfied?

"You know! Is Lao Tzu finished? You're all here and you're talking nonsense! ”

Seeing that someone refuted, the strong man was reluctant, so he casually picked up the wine bowl and poured it violently, and then fought back.

"Then Wei Zhongxian had no way out, self-emasculation, self-emasculation! Only then did he enter the palace, with the kung fu of the three-legged cat, can he finish cutting his eggs?!

Can this cut be compared to the uncut? You ......"

Listening to what was said in the tavern, the corners of Zhao Zongwu's mouth raised a little smile, although this gossip is not credible, but sometimes it is precisely this gossip that is the most accurate.

Zhao Zongwu didn't know what the person who spread the news did, but if you want to talk about Wei Zhongxian's family history, it really relied on the Hakka family to get up.

The wet nurse of this young genius Zhu Youxiao.

The current Wei Zhongxian is far from the powerful Wei Qiansui.

But because of his relationship with the Hakka family, he was valued by the apocalypse, so with illiterate qualifications, he sat on the chair of the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the eunuch.

The authority of the inner court is not the same as the authority of the outer court.

Eunuchs are a very realistic group of beings.

Although this celebrant and the pen eunuch also have a top boss - the palm print eunuch.

But how can this Ke family be the wet nurse of the Son of Heaven, it can be said that she is deeply favored by the emperor, and everything about this inner court eunuch is the emperor.

Favored by the emperor, even if you are not ranked first in the inner court, you are also the first in front of everyone!

Wei Zhongxian's current situation is like this.

With the position of the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, he actually controls the authority of the inner court, and even the eunuch Wang Tiqian, who is in charge of the eunuch of the celebrant and seals, listens to him Wei Zhongxian!

With this heel, and the more Wei Zhongxian's authority is consolidated, the more the Hakka family will get, and now this Wei Zhongxian is also serving as the commander of the East Factory.

In the inner court, the celebrant was in charge of the eunuch and the admiral of the East Factory, and the two positions were the most authoritative.

Although Wei Zhongxian is not very literate, he has been out there since he was a child, and he has been a ruffian for many years, this eunuch who has entered the palace since he was a child, if he plays Yangmou, Wei Zhongxian may not be an opponent, but if he really plays that little trick, how can he be Wei Zhongxian's opponent?

After tasting the taste of power, I am afraid that no one can give up easily.

Wei's father-in-law, who was a factory father, now wants to get more, so he has a conflict with the existing vested interest group, the Donglin Party.

The emperor is the only one, and there is only so much power given by the emperor.

If you get more from the outer court, then the inner court can honestly be a big-tailed wolf, but Wei Zhongxian is not a master who is good at satisfaction.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to see that the Donglin Party was dominant in the outer court, and if it could be checked and balanced, it would be the most stable for the imperial power.

Playing carpenter work in the inner court, pointing at Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao used the imperial methods that he had seen in his grandfather to govern this not peaceful court.

The party struggle that arose in the Wanli period, with the change of the object of struggle, also made the previous simple civil and official internal friction into a struggle between the inner and outer courts. And the undercurrent behind it will definitely explode through a node!
