Eunuch Wang of the West Factory? When Fang Yingwu heard this title, he immediately reacted, isn't this the famous Chenghua Dynasty eunuch Wang Zhi?

Later generations talked about the history of the Ming Dynasty, and they all knew that the Ming Dynasty had three major eunuchs, namely Wang Zhen in the orthodox period, Liu Jin in the Zhengde period, and Wei Zhongxian in the Apocalypse period.

During the Chenghua period, Wang Zhi, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Governor of the West Factory, was considered to be the fourth who could almost be called the same as the three giants.

In fact, in the eyes of professionals, Wang Zhi is still a lot worse in all aspects than the three giants. But since Eunuch Wang is qualified to compete with the Big Three, it can also explain the arrogance of Eunuch Wang at that time.

In the thirteenth year of Chenghua, the West Factory was established, and under the collective impeachment of the ministers, the Son of Heaven was forced to abolish the West Factory for a time, but a month later, the West Factory was re-established, so far the courtiers and Wang Zhi completely fell into a disadvantage.

By this year, that is, in the fourteenth year of Chenghua, Wang Zhi had already squeezed out the first auxiliary merchants, and reprimanded a group of dozens of courtiers such as Du Yushi, Shangshu, and Shilang who advocated the abolition of the West Factory, and the counteroffensive against the civil officials was a complete success.

It can be said that with the intentional connivance of the Son of Heaven, Wang Zhi's power and momentum were at the peak at this time.

Also, Wang Gonggong, who was so arrogant that he could not increase it and forcefully suppressed the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, was actually a young tooth, and he was the same age as Fang Yingwu, and his specific age was unknown, probably only seventeen or eighteen years old.

At the age of seventeen, Fang Yingwu became a member of the diet, he could talk and laugh with the former first assistant, he could overwhelm the heroes in Suzhou Mansion, and he could bluff Governor Wang to sigh at himself, so he boasted that he was also a small achievement.

But compared with Wang Zhi, who is about the same age, Fang Yingwu is like the difference between fireflies and Haoyue. To know. Even Yin Min, the secretary of the ministry, has to consider a question, does he kneel down when he meets Wang Zhi?

In fact, this is the benefit of mixing around the leader. He was castrated into the palace at the age of five, and he had the opportunity to become a eunuch with the seal of the imperial horse at the age of ten. When he was a teenager, he was the governor of Xichang, and at the age of seventeen or eighteen, no one dared to provoke him, which was a very fantasy plot in the novel.

However, Fang Yingwu solemnly said in his heart that he was not interested in this way of approaching the leader.

Knowing what kind of character Wang Zhi is, it is not surprising that Deng Tongzhi weishenme was extremely out of shape, so that he was very rude to throw down the object and hurriedly rushed out of the door.

Not to mention that Fang Yingwu is here, even if Wang Shu and Wang Governor are here, they can't compare to Wang Zhi. Wang Zhizheng is extremely trustworthy by the Son of Heaven. has great authority, and holds the secret agent of the West Factory, he said one sentence worthy of 10,000 words of Wang Shu.

Fang Yingwu understood Deng Tongzhi's behavior, but after all, he was still a little unhappy, and anyone who was treated like this would be unhappy in his heart. Especially when the previous salute was very respectful, and there was a strong contrast, this person was still a little snobbish.

But unpleasantness doesn't mean it has to come out, since the owner has run away. Fang Yingwu also got up and went back to the house, without saying anything.

After drinking a few sips of tea in the room, Fang Yingwu remembered Wang Zhilai again. In fact, he engaged in research in his previous life, although he did more political research during the Jiajing and Wanli periods. But the Chenghua Dynasty is not uninvolved.

In his impression, after Wang Zhi called for wind and rain in the capital for a year, he was keen on martial arts. For several years, he fought at the border until his fall. But I didn't remember that Wang Zhi had the experience of touring the south. And Wang Zhi doesn't have this time.

So what's going on with this Wang Zhi? Could it be that his own crossing caused the butterfly effect and changed the course of history?

Come to think of it. Fang Yingwu suddenly remembered an interesting anecdote in the Chenghua period - there was a person named Yang Fu, because he looked like Wang Zhi, so he pretended to be Wang Zhi in the Jiangnan area to deceive, and he was deceived until Fujian was recognized by the local town guard eunuch.

Fang Yingwu had a big understanding, could it be that this time he came to pretend to be a liar who pretended to be Wang Zhi, and this scam happened to let him encounter it?

The more Fang Yingwu thought about it, the more likely it became, he knew that Wang Zhi was young and vigorous, his personality was keen on martial arts, and he was not much interested in things like procurement, so there was really no reason to come to Jiangnan.

Then he now has two choices, the first option is to hang up and go on the road tomorrow as usual.

And the fake Wang Zhi will continue to go south, and when he arrives in Suzhou Mansion, he will meet Wang Shu, with his cheap grandfather's temper, he will not go to welcome the waiter Wang Zhi who is sent to him. It's okay to let his grandfather brush some integrity and reputation on the fake Wang Zhi, anyway, the fake Wang Zhi doesn't have the ability to really treat Wang Shu as well.

The second option is to debunk the scam so that you can make a name for yourself. But if this is in the limelight, the consequences are a little difficult to determine.

And the next day, after Fang Yingwu woke up, he took a walk in the post house, but a post guard sent a message to him: "Master Deng passed a message, saying that the reception was not thoughtful yesterday, please Fang Gongzi must stay for a few more days." ”

Fang Yingwu only turned a deaf ear to these words, and he wanted to leave and stay in the mood of not wanting to see Deng Tongzhi at all.

However, the post guard said: "Today, Eunuch Wang is in the local area, so this waterway outside the city is blocked, and Fang Gongzi is afraid that it will not be easy to go." ”

Fang Yingwu was secretly surprised, this "Wang Zhi" pomp is quite big! It can be seen how frightened the magistrate is, otherwise how could the imposter be deceived all the way so easily?

It turned out that at the dinner yesterday, Deng Tongzhi suddenly got the news that Eunuch Wang had entered the mansion from the direction of Danyang.

Of course, Lord Deng didn't dare to treat Fang Yingwu like this, and only greeted Wang Zhi at the Fucheng Wharf, so he hurriedly said goodbye and drove overnight, in order to welcome him as far as possible, and the farther away he was, the more respectful he became.

According to the distance, Wang Zhi should arrive in Changzhou today, so the waterway was blocked for Wang Zhi's boat to drive, so as not to collide with him in a messy way.

Since he couldn't go, Fang Yingwu pressed the mind of going on the road, and when he was bored, he went to the dock to watch the excitement.

Although it is a fake Wang Zhi, it is said that he looks cool with the real Wang Zhi, so it is good to see and know, so you should familiarize yourself with the appearance of Wang Zhi, a great celebrity of this dynasty, in advance.

saw that the wharf was covered with red and hung colors, and it was not just suona that was playing, but a whole troupe was moved. Moreover, the government and county government poured out their nests, from officials to small officials, and the hundred and ten people gathered here to wait, just to welcome the arrival of Eunuch Wang.

After seeing this scene, and then remembering the scene that greeted him yesterday, Fang Yingwu had to sigh that he was still very small.

But at noon, a few boats came from the water in the distance, and everyone on the dock knew that this must be Eunuch Wang, and there would be no other ships on the water at this time.

When the big ship came to the shore, the hatch opened, and several people came out of the boat.

Fang Yingwu stood in the crowd and saw it clearly, among these people was Deng Tongzhi, and stood respectfully on the side. Judging from Deng Tongzhi's posture, the person in the front position is "Wang Zhi".

The closer he walked, the clearer Fang Yingwu could see. But I saw that "Wang Zhi" was wearing a three-mountain hat on his head, wearing a crimson undershirt, a gauze shirt, and a cluster of dragon-shaped patterns on his chest, which was the outfit of a big-name eunuch.

Looking at this person carefully, he is indeed not very old, no more than seventeen or eighteen at most, and he has a good appearance, which can be called like Fu powder, and his lips are painted with Zhu, and he is very handsome.

Fang Yingwu sighed again and again, if he can look like a fake Wang Zhi, then the real Wang Zhi is not far off. No wonder he won the favor and credit of Wan Guifei and the Son of Heaven at a young age, and his appearance is really capitalous.

He thought about it again, the princes of the imperial court have been bullied by such a young man in the past year, how aggrieved should he be?

It's incredible that such a child-like person can catch up with Wang Zhen, the pioneer of their eunuch industry, in just one year.

It's like a joke, which makes Fang Yingwu feel ridiculous. It is no wonder that it is said that the Chenghua Dynasty is the most demonic era, and there are all kinds of strange things, which are unprecedented and unprecedented. (To be continued.) )
