After waiting for a while, Mei Gongbo did not come back, Cao Wei said goodbye to Mrs. Mei, the briquette chased after her, Mei softly scolded it for having no conscience, and finally Cao Wei played with the briquette for a while, and then left the Mei Mansion in Mei's soft muttering.

According to Cao Wei's idea, since he has accepted the position of a thousand households in the inner city, he must do it well, not to mention being arrogant and domineering like in Nanjing City, at least he can't let people and pee on his head, because Cao Wei has a habit of cleanliness, not only physical cleanliness, but also psychological cleanliness.

Just like Mu Bin said, Jinyiwei's life is indeed not easy. In the past, the factory guards were tortured on a large scale, and the arrest of officials did not need the permission of the emperor, and the hundred officials were cowering and panicking, especially the fathers-in-law of the east and west factories, who were disabled and strong, and stared the civil officials to death.

The civil officials hid in the study every day and scolded this group of eggless castrations, and then recorded the crimes committed by the factory guards in a small notebook for revenge in the future.

After Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, the relationship with the civil officials was as sweet as honey, which greatly weakened the power of the factory guard, not only abolished the West Factory, but also restricted the power of Jinyi Wei and the East Factory to arrest and arrest, these measures made the factory guard suddenly change from a wife to a concubine.

Facts have proved that the civil officials are very vindictive, and after being promoted to the main wife, they not only whipped the concubine inhumanely, but also secretly said bad things about Emperor Hongzhi, resulting in the eunuchs and warlocks in the Chenghua period basically not ending well.

Wang Zhiben, the former eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Governor of Xichang, was demoted to Nanjing, and was recalled to Beijing by Zhu Youzhi in the eleventh year of Hongzhi.

Zhang Cai, a member of the ministry, directly abandoned the official and left, and wrote before leaving: "Wang Zhi is narrow-minded, and he will be retribution, and now His Majesty has recalled him to Beijing, I am afraid that he will repeat the disaster of the eunuchs in the Chenghua period, and I hope that Your Majesty will see it and punish ......."

Emperor Hongzhi had a grudge in his heart, and although he did not kill Wang Zhi, he did not reuse him again.

After Dongchang and Jinyiwei were cut in power, they didn't dare to target civilian officials anymore, and they didn't like each other, and Emperor Hongzhi deliberately provoked a fight between the two, so the factory guards got along well on the surface, but in fact, there was constant friction behind their backs.

Mu Bin and Xiao Jing, the supervisor of the East Factory, have a very good personal relationship, and they have tried their best to suppress the conflict between the factory guards over the years, but the two have different positions after all, and the factory guards have been grudges for many years, and it is only a matter of time before they finally turn against each other.

In recent years, under the guidance of Emperor Hongzhi, intentionally or unintentionally, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have infiltrated each other, and Jinyiwei is no longer Mu Bin's word, which makes Mu Bin do things like a tiger with his limbs tied.

In this case, Mu Bin is eager to promote people with real talent and learning within Jinyiwei. At this time, Cao Wei cured the epidemic in Yangzhou Mansion and entered the emperor's eyes, and Mu Bin just wanted to have a good relationship with Cao Wei at first, but after the emperor appointed Cao Wei as a hundred households in Jinyiwei, Mu Bin moved his mind to cultivate him.

Later, Cao Wei was also very competitive, and he was constantly credited, and he acted neatly, without lack of strategy, and there was no lack of ruthlessness, which made Mu Bin feel uplifted, just like finding a piece of gold in the dirt and an ostrich egg in the pheasant's nest.

Mu Bin was ordered to go to Nanjing to welcome Zhu Houzhao back to Beijing, and carefully observed him when he lived in Cao Wei's mansion, and after determining that Cao Wei could take on the big responsibility, he made up his mind to train him as a successor before leaving, so he transferred him to Beijing and appointed him as a thousand households in the inner city.

………………

The Thousand Households in the Inner City is not far from the Guozijian, and it must have been built for the sake of ease of management.

Zhang Meng drove the carriage all the way to inquire about the Thousand Households, Qian Ning had already taken the other eight hundred households to wait at the door, and when he saw Cao Wei getting down from the carriage, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Meet the Lord of the Thousand Households!" ”

The attitude of the hundred households was very polite, and Cao Wei did not put on the shelf of Shangguan, and slowly led the hundred households into the courtyard of the thousand households, and said with a smile: "Brothers are polite, we are all a family, there is no difference between up and down."

In the future, the brothers will perform their duties and do their jobs well, and the official will naturally not be able to treat you badly. ”

The hundred households should claim to be, their attitude was humble and revealing a hint of coldness, although there was a smile on their faces, few people spoke, looking at Cao Wei's gaze as if they were looking at a guest, not their Shangguan.

Cao Wei thought that this was a unique way of communication for officials in the Jingshi, and he didn't care, and after greeting a few words with the hundreds of households, he said: "In ancient times, Cao Ah talked about heroes who cooked wine, and today I will talk about the big men of our Ming Dynasty. ”

None of the hundreds of households spoke, there was silence for a while, Cao Wei's face was a little ugly, and he was about to have a seizure, but he saw an older Jinyi guard hugging his fists and saying: "My lord, if you want to talk about our characters in the Ming Dynasty, the first one is our Jinyi Guard's commander Mu Shuai......"

"Don't face this old man in front of this official in the future, this official doesn't want to see him!"

The eyes of the hundreds of households widened, and the officials who dared to scold the commander were either stunned, or the background was not simple, no matter what the situation was, they could not be easily offended.

"My lord, Li Gongmou, Liu Gongju, Xie Gongyou Kankan! These three scholars are united in assisting the government, conscientious in their duties, and doing their best, and they can be regarded as big men. ”

"Lord Wang Shu, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, is an upright person, jealous of evil, not afraid of the powerful, and should be a big man."

"The secretary of the military department, Ma Wensheng, is a big man......"

"Old man Zhu of Baoguo Gong Zhu ......"

Cao Wei said with a smile: "Although Xiao Jing, the superintendent of Dongchang, has no eggs, he can also be worthy of a big man, right?" ”

It's not easy for hundreds of households to accept this, dare to say that the Dongchang factory supervisor has no eggs, there are few people in the entire Ming Dynasty, this Shangguan doesn't know whether he is big-hearted or bold.

Cao Wei saw that the hundreds of households did not speak, and knew that this group of officials did not communicate with each other because they had no prestige, and they couldn't ask anything if they were left here, so he waved his hand and said, "Go down and be on duty!" ”

The hundreds of households said goodbye and walked very simply. Cao Wei looked at the backs of the hundreds of households leaving, touched his face, and asked suspiciously: "Qian Ning, isn't this official majestic enough?" ”

Qian Ning sneered and said: "The adult is domineering and leaking, and he is naturally extremely majestic!" ”

"Then why did the official body of the tiger shook, these hundreds of households did not bow their heads, but were not cold, is it because the official was not completely shocked?"

Qian Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, my subordinates have already inquired, and none of the thousands of households in charge of the Guozijian can serve for more than two months, and these hundred households are probably not optimistic about your ......."

Cao Wei touched the two whiskers that came out of his chin and said, "That official wants to sit in this position and let others know that this official is different from others!" ”

Qian Ning smiled bitterly: "Don't talk so much, my lord, as far as my subordinates know, the favorite thing about the group of scholars in the Guozijian is to gather people to make trouble, and if we don't take care of it, we will be derelict in our duties, if we go to suppress it, we will be said to have beaten the scholars, and then we will be impeached by the courtiers." Your Excellency, this is really a chore......

"Qian Ning, do you know what this official admires most about you?"

Qian Ning scratched his head and said, "Meng? ”

"!" Cao Wei almost slapped him in the face: "What this official admires most about you is that your face is black, and it is suitable to help Shangguan carry the black pot!" ”
