Chapter 025: Complex Human Hearts
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.
In Xiaoyao Tower, there is no topic that cannot be discussed, and the most eye-catching thing in the capital at the moment is the matter in the court.
"I don't know if you know about this."
Once the topic of gossip is opened and the atmosphere is reached, it is not that you want to say that it is over, and it is over.
On the wine floor, no one can always be in the limelight.
The end of one topic necessarily announces the beginning of another, and the speaker of this topic has long since changed.
"Know what?"
"You mean, why are you still selling Guanzi......"
"Xiao Er, quickly serve this master a pot of wine and put it on my account!"
I was already attracted by the topic, and with this bit of wine, after listening to this, people didn't talk much, which must make people feel very uncomfortable.
It's like you're halfway done, and you suddenly tell me that you can't do it, who can stand it?
Fortunately, the drunkard didn't take too long, after all, he could get a pot of wine, which was not in vain.
"Although this is said that the matter of Father-in-law Wei and Mrs. Fengsheng is indeed very interesting, but what I want to say, if you are not shocked when you hear it, my surname of Lao Li will be written upside down!"
The drinker's expression was full of emotion, his right hand was tapping the wine table, and in the end, he didn't forget to pour himself a glass, smacking the wine on his mouth, and his face was deeply satisfied.
"You mean! What the hell is going on......"
The more the drinker is like this, the more anxious he becomes, and he even coaxes him to tell the drinker to speak quickly, which also attracts the attention of more people.
"You all say that this Father-in-law Wei gained power by serving the Holy Lady, but I don't think so, one of my distant nephews is on an errand in the inner court.
Did you know? That Gonggong Wei is now a eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the factory of the Governor Dongchang, and it stands to reason that there is no one in this inner court who is more authoritative than Gonggong Wei.
But people's hearts must be more than these, what is the court like today, I think you all know very well that this Donglin minister has the authority.
Do you say that Gonggong Wei has the authority of the inner court, and will watch the Donglin ministers in the outer court constantly disturb the emperor in the outer court? ”
The master is in the people, no matter what time it is, it is not false at all.
Although some people may not be able to say such decent things in a formal scene, but in such occasions, they can analyze the situation as if the situation should be like this, and in fact, the context is basically the same.
Listening to the winer's story, Zhao Zongwu's brows furrowed slightly, and after this reminder, he suddenly thought that Wei Zhongxian's complete consolidation of authority in the inner court came from this incident.
Hold an internal exercise.
Although Wei Zhongxian has a guest family in the inner court, which makes him very favored in front of Zhu Youxiao, but after all, he is the master who can't read a few big characters, although there is Wang Tiqian's investment, but it is more of a move that Wang Tiqian is forced to do, and in the inner court, there are twelve prisons, four divisions, and eight bureaus.
Although some of the twenty-four yamen in the inner court exist in the corners, this does not represent it, and Wei Zhongxian can completely control it.
As mentioned earlier, this inner court eunuch is the most realistic group, once they gain power, shit can become a master!
In order to further strengthen his position in the inner court, Wei Zhongxian tried all means, and the selection of Wu Gelding to practice firearms and serve as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven was the means he thought of to completely control the inner court.
Through the drills of the inner court, those eunuchs and eunuchs who were not subject to themselves were removed from the throne, and the eunuchs and eunuchs who were friendly with the outer court were dismounted, the purpose of which was to sever the connection between the Donglin Party and the inner court.
To this day, Wei Zhongxian has used such means to encircle members of the internal supervision such as: Li Yongzhen, Shi Yuanya, Tu Wenfu, Feng Xiang, Li Chaoqin, Wang Chaofu and other members of the internal supervision around him.
With the division of team members, Wei Zhongxian's authority in the inner court was further increased.
Tasting the wine in the bowl, Zhao Zongwu sighed in his heart, and looking at the essence through the surface, he found that Wei Zhongxian's momentum had now risen.
Although the current situation is still that the Donglin Party led by Ye Xianggao has taken the initiative, Wei Zhongxian, who is secretly accumulating strength, is by no means comparable to a year ago.
More importantly, Wei Zhongxian has an important weight more than everyone else.
That's the Emperor!
can appear by the emperor's side at any time, which also makes Wei Zhongxian have much more favors than those foreign ministers!
"Hmph, Zhang Yuanfang, you really lost money in this deal." Thinking of this, Zhao Zongwu couldn't help but secretly think in his heart: "Even if you don't ask me, come to the capital to add fuel and vinegar to the Donglin Party."
This Wei Zhongxian for his own authority, it will also be the Donglin Party, and besides, I, Zhao Zongwu, also need to fight the Donglin Party for my own strategy, and I also need to use the fight against the Donglin Party to catch Wei Zhongxian's line! ”
Compared with the Donglin Party, he has the identity of Jinyiwei, so he naturally has a close connection with the eunuchs of the inner court.
If you don't catch Wei Zhongxian's line, then you are the stupidest existence in the world!
Interesting, really interesting.
To take a peek, in the current capital, there must be a lot of topics about this Wei Zhongxian, as the emperor's favorite eunuch, if this civil official does not ask for a book, it is definitely abnormal.
Since ancient times, civil officials and eunuchs have been the two most disadvantageous groups.
Today's Wei Zhongxian, although he has a lot of authority, but at this moment, he is far from reaching the peak existence a few years later.
As a eunuch, he was called nine thousand years old.
This is also a unique thing in the history books!
But sometimes that's the case.
Life is like a play, and drama is like life.
If it really is true, that is the greatest irony.
If you want to complete the strategic goals you set earlier, you must now grasp the current situation in detail, although there are many feelings in your heart, but Zhao Zongwu did not say much else.
Not only him, but also Ye Chao, Yin Cheng, Zhao Zonghu, Zhao Zongbao and others, they were all divided into teams of two and scattered in the capital, either drinking and recreation, or doing business and walking, or ......
Today's Ming Dynasty does not have a developed intelligence network in later generations, Zhao Zongwu wants to get the latest information, so as to analyze the current situation through this information, then he must collect as much information as possible that can be collected!
Through comparison, analysis, discarding the dross, and selecting the essence for his own use, this is where Zhao Zongwu's actions are now.
