261 You resign
Jinyi guard yamen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Zuo's good days were coming to an end, and he didn't know it.
As the governor and commander of the Jinyi Guard, he just comes to the scene on time every day and enjoys the pleasure of being a big official. Although he is the nominal boss, no one dares to say anything even if he doesn't press the deadline. But having said that, Wang Zuo still wants to experience such a happy thing in his lifetime.
Therefore, early in the morning, after checking various affairs in Moda, when I came to find Wang Zuo, I found him very quickly.
"Yo, isn't this Lord Mo?" Mo Da is now also on temporary duty in Jinyiwei, so he can naturally be called 'Adult', but he refuses to reveal his real name, and everyone only knows that his name is 'Mo Da', so he simply shouted such an awkward 'Lord Mo'. When Wang Zuo saw Mo Da, his face looked very happy. This benevolent brother is extremely efficient, and he can always let Jinyiwei get His Majesty's praise, but the object of praise is never Mo Da himself, but Wang Zuo, who represents Jinyiwei. Such a guy who can work and does not seek fame and fortune, Wang Zuo, who is lazy and unwilling to handle official business, is naturally very willing to work with him. Getting up and happily pulling Mo Da to sit down, Wang Zuo asked, "Lord Mo is here today, is there something to do with the old man?" Please say that it doesn't matter, as long as the old man can do it, he will definitely help you do it! ”
Whether it is for Mo Da himself, or for Wei Shui, who is now being favored by Mo Da, Wang Zuo has expressed due closeness and respect to Mo Da.
Mo Da sat down with Wang Zuo's tugging, and the words he had already thought of had already blurted out, "Actually, I came today to bring a greeting for my second master." The second master said, Lord Wang is an old man of Xingwangfu, old and serious, recently when he was in the humble position to rectify the Jinyi Guard, he has been from the side Sasuke many times, it is really hard, I want me to thank you. ”
"Ouch, how is this good? How good is that? Of course, a few faint compliments could not achieve such an effect, what really made Wang Zuo's eyes straighten was a slip of gold bars that Mo Da casually took out of his arms. Delicate gold bars were laid out on the table between the two, and when you counted them, there were twenty of them. Wang Zuo's eyes straightened when he looked at the gold bars, his tongue was knotted, and he hurriedly pretended to excuse himself, "The second master is too polite!" So gracious! With such a generous gift, how could the old man accept it casually? ”
But when it comes to titles, if you want to show respect, everyone in the DPRK and China will generally call Wei Shui Mr. Wei like Zhu Houxi. At this time, when Wang Zuo saw the gold, he was already silent, and even shouted out the title of 'second master'. Such a title made Mo Da can't help but despise it in his heart. Just such a small favor made him forget who is his master, this kind of person, fortunately not a person like ink, otherwise, it is really useless!
Although he was disdainful in his heart, Mo Da still smiled on the surface: "Lord Wang, the things sent out by my second master have never been taken back. These gold bars, although you can hold them with confidence, there is no need to excuse them. ”
Out of habit, Wang Zuo still wanted to excuse himself, but he was stopped by Mo Da, and twenty gold bars were pushed in front of Wang Zuo, and Mo Da said, "What? Lord Wang refuses to accept it? Isn't it a ...... My second master is bribing you, right? ”
When Wang Zuo heard this, he was immediately stunned, and then hurriedly smiled: "How could it be? How so? I accepted it, I accepted it, and asked Master Mo to express my gratitude for the old man. Another day, the old man will definitely come to the door and personally thank the second master! ”
Be reasonable, bribe or something, even if it is necessary, Wei Shui will never bribe Wang Zuo. After all, Wang Zuo, whether it is his position or ability, is not qualified to let Wei Shui lower his value to make friends. Wang Zuo himself knew this kind of thing in his heart, so he didn't have any vigilance about accepting bribes when Wei Pingbai gave him gold bars for no reason, he just felt that Wei Shui might just be stupid and have a lot of money.
Moreover, on weekdays, Mo Da also revealed to him that although Rumo's selection and training are very harsh, it can even be said to be cruel. But to tell the truth, Wei Shui is quite generous, and for his subordinates, the reward and salary are very high, and even once made Wang Zuo feel very envious.
Each of these twenty gold bars is a standard ten taels of gold, making a total of two hundred taels of gold. One tael of gold is exchanged for five taels of silver, which is a total of one thousand taels of silver. If converted into the current currency, one tael of silver is exchanged for 500 yuan, which is a full 500,000 yuan.
In order to prevent corruption, the income of officials in the Ming Dynasty was relatively low, especially the Beijing officials, and there was little oil and water. If you live on your own income and have to feed your whole family, I am afraid that ten out of ten officials will starve to death. It all depends on the local offerings to live a good life. According to the exchange of official rice for silver, a third-grade official like Wang Zuo will only earn more than 4,000 yuan a month, less than 50,000 yuan a year. This 500,000 taels of silver is enough for him to mix for a full ten years.
"Hehe, thank you or something, let's ask Lord Wang to go in person. If you let the lowly job do it for you, I'm afraid that the second master will be unhappy because of this. The smile on Mo Da's face was so warm that Wang Zuo was completely defenseless against his next words. Mo Da said, "With so much money, I'm afraid that Lord Wang will have to work for ten more years to get it, right?" Now that the silver has arrived, I don't know, does Lord Wang have anything else he wants? The second master said, as long as Lord Wang is willing to speak, the second master will try his best to help you do what he can do. ”
"This ......" Wang Zuo couldn't help frowning, Mo Da's words made him feel a little weird.
Wei Shui has never shown such care for him? Now, I don't say anything about the gold I sent, but I still say what I want, even though I open my mouth.
After all, Wang Zuo has been in the officialdom for so many years. Although his ability is limited and he has not done anything serious, he still has at least a keen sense of crisis.
Looking up at Mo Da, Wang Zuo suddenly felt that the smile on Mo Da's face didn't seem to be as kind as it seemed just now.
Wang Zuo asked, "Master Mo, dare to ask what Mr. Wei means?" If you want the old man to help Mr. Wei do something, Master Mo, please admit it frankly. ”
Finally reacted! Mo Da laughed secretly in his heart and said, "Lord Wang is really smart, he can see through the humble position at a glance and ask for you. Indeed, the second master let the humble position bring you a sentence, 'Success will not retreat, and you will be sorrowful since ancient times'. ”
Even if Wang Zuo was slow to react, at this point, he understood what Mo Da meant. Gritting his back molars tightly, he said indignantly: "Mo Da, what does Wei Shui mean?!" Is it trying to force the old man to resign and return to his hometown? ”
"Hmph." Mo Da snorted coldly, scolding in his heart, this person is inevitably too snobbish, from 'Second Master' to 'Mr. Wei', and then from 'Mr. Wei' to 'Wei Shui', is this change a little too fast? It's too unconcealed, isn't it?
"Lord Wang." Mo Da said in a cold voice, "You're right! The meaning of the second master is to let you retire successfully. Now, you have a name, and you have a profit. Retreating bravely from the rapids, having such an opportunity is not only not a disadvantage, but a rare benefit! ”
"Bastard!" Wang Zuo slapped the table and stood up suddenly, the gold on his body was driven by him, and there was a loud bang, causing Mo Da to sneer again. Wang Zuo didn't have the slightest sense of being at a disadvantage, but pointed at Mo Daqiu and asked, "The old man has been in the Xingwang Mansion since he was young!" It's the old man of Xingwangfu! Even His Majesty today is also the old man who grew up! Jinyi Wei is the commander of the envoy, and the old man has not made any mistakes since he sat down! Whether you want to get rid of it or change it, the old man will do his best to help you! You're good! What is this? Do you unload the mill and kill the donkey? If this is the case, seeing that the old man has a good temper, he will bully the old man and use the old man as a soft persimmon! The old man wants Wei Shui to take a good look at who is the soft persimmon! ”
"Lord Wang, don't be impatient." Mo Da'an sat there steadily, looking up at the excited Wang Zuo, with a thick mockery in his eyes. Although it is looking up, the oppressed side is obviously not Mo Da who is sitting, but Wang Zuo who is standing. "I've worked with you for so long, and I haven't noticed that, your temper ...... That's not good! You are the senior in Jinyiwei, and you are also my boss in terms of reputation, plus the second master has told you thousands of times at home, so I am so polite to you. Otherwise, what do you think you are in my eyes? While I still have some patience, Lord Wang might as well hurry up and make your request. If there are no requirements, then write a few copies of the resignation letter as soon as possible. There is nothing bad about saying goodbye to the old man and returning to his hometown and going to tease his grandson. If it really comes to the day when you tear your face, everyone's face will be bad, and you, Lord Wang, will ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of it! ”
Wang Zuo's eyes narrowed, and the deterrent power of being in the top position for a long time was released, but in vain he found that this little momentum on his body had no effect at all on Mo Da, who had been in the sea. Gritting his back molars hatefully, Wang Zuo said a little deflated: "I asked myself that since I took over, I have never caused trouble for the second master, why does the second master have to ask me to resign and return to my hometown?" Master Mo, if the second master thinks that I am not doing well, even if I put it forward, I will change, can't I change it? ”
"To tell you the truth, I don't know why you want to leave home." Mo Da replied honestly, "The second master's mind is not something that those of us who are subordinates can speculate at will. Even if you guess, you can't guess. I just need to know that the second master doesn't want you to stay in this position. Lord Wang, I advise you, don't mess with the second master, otherwise, there will be no good fruit for you to eat! ”
"You ......" Wang Zuo was completely angry this time! Staring at a pair of blood-red eyes, he scolded loudly, "Good! Good! Good! Wei Shui, Wei Shui, just a gangster, what kind of real person did he seal, do you really think he is a fairy? The old man wants to enter the palace, and the old man is going to face the saint! The old man wants to see which side His Majesty is on! ”
Wang Zuo did what he said, raised his feet and took a step, and he was about to walk out the door.
Mo Da sat in his seat, looking at him sideways, a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Your Excellency, you can't go out." Wang Zuo's footsteps were stopped by two officers wearing brocade guards flying fish suits, and in the words of those two people, although they still had some respect for Wang Zuo, their hands were extremely rude. Wang Zuo, who wanted to break through, was firmly stopped by the two of them, and pushed hard, almost pushing the old man to his head.
Mo Da's gaze happened to meet the eyes of Shang Wang Zuo who turned his head and glared angrily. Mo Da stood up, straightened his clothes, and said to Wang Zuo; "Lord Wang, let's save it. The second master is in the middle of the family, no one will be stupid enough to go against the second master for you. You are a hard bone, and you can't do anything, so I can only ask you to wait for a while. I will go back to my humble position, ask the second master, and then make a conclusion. ”
Looking at Mo Da's departing footsteps, Wang Zuo sat down on the chair dejectedly.
Yes, at this moment, he really regretted it.
The commander of the Jinyi Guard?
Hehe, what's the point of deserving?
In his own yamen, he was grounded by his nominal subordinates. can only honestly wait for the trial here, but it is really better to agree with what Mo Da said just now.
Isn't it just a resignation? What's the big deal.
In the broken courtyard, Wei Shui listened to Mo Da's statement and did not speak for a long time. After a long while, just when Mo Da couldn't help but want to ask again, Wei Shui suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Change clothes, I want to enter the palace." Wei Shui commanded.
Mo Da subconsciously went to find him the purple jade belt given by Zhu Houxi, but was stopped by Wei Shui.
Pointing to an ordinary shirt next to him, Wei Shui said, "Wear that." ”
Mo Daleng paused, and then, Ying Sheng helped him take his clothes.
It was indeed very ordinary clothes, so much so that at the gate of the palace, Wei Shui was stopped by the guards guarding the door. The gatekeeper, perhaps a newcomer, carefully examined the evidence of his attack with a suspicious face, and then put him in half-convinced.
Zhu Houxi, who was immersed in a lot of chores, was facing the cabinet's various proposals with a headache. Hearing that Huang Jin came to report that Wei Shui had entered the palace and wanted to ask him to see him, he almost didn't hesitate and agreed.
Wei Shui entered the hall to salute, and as soon as he stood up, he heard Zhu Houxi say; "Mr. Wei, you came just in time, I was worried that no one asked, so you came."
Wei Shui smiled: "I don't know why Your Majesty is worried?" The grass people are willing to share the worries of His Majesty. It's just that I'm afraid that the grass people are shallow and useless! ”
When Zhu Houxi heard him say this, he couldn't help but smile, with a helpless smile, and said: "If even you are only a shallow learner, then won't all the old men in the cabinet become fools?" ”
Zhu Houxi and Wei Shui are of the same age, and the two have always been close. When it comes to talking, he is even more open-mouthed. Zhu Houxi said this, Wei Shui didn't dare to speak. He only smiled lightly, waiting for the emperor to inquire.
"The examiners for this session should have been decided a long time ago, but the people selected by the cabinet are really ......"
Listening to Zhu Houxi stop talking halfway through, Wei Shui knew that he was very dissatisfied with the people elected by the cabinet. Then he asked, "Your Majesty does not like the examiner proposed by the cabinet?" ”
Seeing Zhu Houxi sighing, Wei Shui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, everything can only be obtained by fighting each other. There are two examiners for the exam, and if His Majesty wants to let anyone go, he will give him a deputy chief examiner, and the chief examiner may as well leave it to the cabinet. ”
"But ......" Zhu Houxi was obviously unwilling, for a person with a strong desire to control, of course he hoped that the two examiners would be arranged by him. But...... Anyway, who made him weak? After a little entanglement, Zhu Houxi accepted the result and asked, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Wei coming to the palace?" ”
Wei Shui said: "The grass people entered the palace this time for the sake of Jinyiwei. ”
"Oh? Jin Yiwei? Zhu Houxi was obviously a little surprised by this answer, and he asked, "Is something wrong with Jinyiwei?" ”
Wei Shui shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that something happened to Jinyiwei, but in the opinion of the grass people, the current Jinyiwei should be considered fully trained." The sand that should be cut has been eliminated, and what is left behind are elite soldiers and strong generals who can be of great use. The grass people came this time to ask His Majesty to remove the real positions of those guys under the grass people. They are all street bastards, and they are already happy to give a brocade guard. If you really do Jinyiwei, you will only smear Jinyiwei. ”
"So?" Zhu Houxi listened to Wei Shui's words and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Others have the opportunity to let their subordinates become officials, and they must be eager to arrange more people to go in. But what about Wei Shui? Jinyiwei is fully trained, which means that Wei Shui is not ready to meddle in Jinyiwei's affairs on the grounds of 'rectifying Jinyiwei'. And now, begging Zhu Houxi to withdraw all his people?
What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?
Zhu Houxi couldn't help but feel that he seemed to be getting more and more unable to see through Wei Shui.
It's just that Wei Shui's move doesn't look like he's taking power at all, but rather like he doesn't want to care about anything. said that he was suspicious, but he couldn't be suspicious.
"Okay." Zhu Houxi thought for a while, and then simply agreed, "It's up to you!" ”
Wei Shui hurriedly thanked him, but then, he said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing ......"
Really! Zhu Houxi said in his heart: I know that you will not let go so easily, but this saves him from guessing.
"Say, as long as I can do it, it's up to you."
Wei Shui said: "Your Majesty, in fact, it is not the grass people's own business. It's just that the grass people feel that the current Jinyi Guards are in command of Lord Wang Zuowang, I'm afraid ...... His ability is not enough to be qualified for this position! ”
"Oh? Wang Zuo? Zhu Houxi frowned.
Wang Zuo's character he also knows, he has to get by, and he likes to be lazy. But the victory is that he is the old people of Xingwangfu, Zhu Houxi likes to use these old people of the palace, and feels that they are more loyal.
