Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 803
The political structure of the Ming Dynasty has a balance between literati and warriors, and a balance between the inner court and the outer dynasty. After Yingzong's civil fort change, tens of thousands of honorable military officials and their cronies will be destroyed, the relationship between literati and warriors has become more and more serious. There is no balance at all, and the warrior is just a dog to be driven by the officials and civil servants.

Since the Ming Dynasty, among the emperors, only Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di were able to completely control the political power, and that was based on the unstoppable deterrence of killing people. The rest of the time, especially after Yingzong, were internal officials and foreign ministers. The foot strength, the emperor is centered and balanced.

But most of the time, the emperor is ruled by one party, and if one party has been in power for too long, the next emperor will make some adjustments, but the result is often that the other party is in power.

When Yingzong ascended the throne, there were three Yangs who were in power, claiming to be sages, but after that, the great eunuch Wang Zhen ruled over power; during Hongzhi, it was claimed to be all Zhengying Dynasty, and then Wuzong Zhengde's Liu Jin and Eight Tigers, the so-called eunuchs were chaotic; and then there was In the Jiajing year, the government and the public only knew that there was a chief assistant, but not the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies.

From Yang Tinghe to Zhang Cong, from Xia Yan to Yan Song, and then Xu Jie, the pattern of Long Qingnian has not changed. People only knew Zhang Juzheng, and although Zhang Siwei and Shen Shi served as chief assistants for a short time, the foreign ministers dominated and the inner prison was unknown.

Ask the scholars all over the world, who is the eunuch in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, and very few can answer.

Wang Tong talked while walking, and Zou Yi followed. After saying this, Zou Yi subconsciously wanted to answer, but immediately froze and stopped.

There are a lot of errands in the palace. Lord Wang and Eunuch Zou had a secret conversation there, and the guides did not dare to get too close. When Zou Yi stopped, everyone stopped.

Wang Tong took a few steps forward, only to find that Zou Yi had stopped. Looking back, he found Zou Yi's face was full of astonishment. Seeing Wang Tong looking back, Zou Yi shook his head, and quickly walked a few steps to keep up , said in a low voice:

"It's unbelievable, unbelievable, brother, I really never thought that such words would be said by you, brother."

"From being a school lieutenant on South Street to where I am now, Brother Zou and all the father-in-laws have contributed a lot. I figured out what's wrong with this?"

"Brother, although you do things with a powerful and unconstrained style, at the root of it, you are still loyal to the emperor and the country. Do you know that if the words you said just now, brother, were spread outside, scholars in the world would like to eat your flesh and drink your flesh?" Let alone the scholars outside the palace, there are even people inside the palace who want to hate you to the bone?"

The two exchanged a few words. At this point, Wang Tong was a little surprised and asked:
"The proposal just now is obviously good for the palace, why do some people in the palace think so, Brother Zou, just now I proposed, you don't have to be embarrassed whether it's up to you or not."

"Naturally, brother, although you do things that people can't figure out the context, but there is nothing you can't do. Why do people in the palace object to it? few."

*************
When Wang Tong came to Jinyiwei to check the room, he found that the situation was different from the day when he first came back. The attitude of everyone who was respectful and far away was that day, but today it is full of fear.

Walking in the corridor of the duty room, no one dared to move wherever they could see, they stood with their hands down on both sides. When Wang Tong passed by, he respectfully said hello and hello. , The general banner is like this, the same is true for hundreds of households, and the same is true for thousands of households. One commander knows the same thing, and only one of the two commanders appears, and the same is true for the commander Yang Zhan.

After entering the courtyard where he was on duty, Yang Zhan, the commander, actually knelt there, and said respectfully:

"My lord, 21 people were sent to the Marquis of Wuqing Mansion. They were all caught with dirty hands and feet from various industries. They were tortured in the mansion, and they were still alive when they were sent to our yamen."

When the commander sees the commander, he clasped his fists if he was familiar with it, and nodded if he was unfamiliar with it. If there is a conflict, it's okay to ignore it, there is absolutely no reason to kneel.

Wang Tong was not polite to Yang Zhan either, he just said:
"I'm sure I'll die from my injuries. Someone will come over and verify my body later. If it's wrong, I have to go to Lord Hou's mansion to arrest me!"

Yang Zhan trembled when he heard this, and said quickly:

"Please rest assured, my lord, the Marquis of Wuqing's Mansion has absolutely nothing to hide and cheat this time."

Wang Tong nodded, and said in a cold voice:
"Master Yang, I know where you came from, but in this position, you have done what you should do!"

After speaking, he turned around and entered the room. Yang Zhan had been kneeling behind him all the time, and he didn't get up until Wang Tong entered the duty room. What will be the status when it comes down.

**************
"The corpses sent from the Marquis of Wuqing's mansion have been checked by someone. They are indeed those sent by their mansion. Three people are not in the scope of the adults' roll call, and they were sent because they died of medicine."

In the room on duty, Yang Sichen opened his mouth to report that Wang Tong was looking at other files, but at this moment he raised his head and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that theaters can make money. This theater actually earns about the same as opening a shop."

"Your Excellency has been away for half a year. In the past six months, theaters have become very popular in the capital. There are also three theaters opened in Tianjin Wei. Not to mention the large number of people watching the theater, if the troupe raised by a wealthy family has never performed in a theater, they will be ridiculed. In order to build a car behind closed doors, without the capital to spend, several companies simply put troupes in theaters, and many scholars who are interested in this matter volunteered to write plays for theaters. If they received rave reviews, they could also become famous. The prostitutes even prove their worth by being able to appear on the stage in the theater. The adults and the students feel that the drama in the theater has become so popular, and it may not be inferior to the poems and songs in a hundred years. The adults can also leave their names in the history books by relying on this alone."

A new form of cultural entertainment, promoted and popularized by Wang Tong, can indeed leave a name in the history of culture. Wang Tong didn't think so complicated when he did this, but he wanted to give Jin Yiwei an extra means of publicity .

But what Yang Sichen said made people happy from the bottom of his heart, Wang Tong was happy, Yang Sichen asked again:
"My lord, Marquis Wu Qing is quite disciplined and cautious in doing things, why is he so lost this time, it is considered a compliment if you use the word confused, it is really puzzling?"

"What's puzzling? Wealth touches people's hearts. There are golden mountains and silver seas in Tianjin Wei. The accumulation of money is probably the crown of the Ming Dynasty. Such a large sum of money was about to be obtained there. Who would have thought that I would return victorious and obtain it?" The things that belonged to me flew away again, and I must be full of resentment in my heart, and I did some things to vent my anger, which is also possible."

Yang Sichen nodded, and Wang Tong continued:
"There are also some news from the palace, and some confused accounts are probably blamed on me. The Marquis of Wu Qing did this, firstly to vent his anger, and secondly, he was afraid to show someone."

There are just a few words to click on. There are too many aspects to consider when it comes to scheming, and it's better not to talk about big things, even if it's your own family.

Yang Sichen went out with a stack of papers in his hands, and came back not long after, seeing Wang Tong was lost in thought there, and seeing Yang Sichen coming in, Wang Tong came back to his senses and asked:
"Mr. Yang, how do you think the eunuchs in the palace are worse than the civil servants outside?"

Yang Sichen was stunned for a moment, then smiled at himself and said:
"Although the student is a literati and has a reputation for raising people, he has been working with the adults for almost five years. He has seen and heard a lot. The eunuchs in the palace are much more reliable than the scholars outside."

"how to say?"

"The eunuchs in the palace are selected step by step from the time they enter the palace to the time they come out to run errands. Only after being promoted to manage affairs, without ten or 15 years of practical experience, can't be in charge of affairs, without 20 or 30 years of practical work, can't be a eunuch, young supervisor, civil servant, good at reading, Jinbang high school, the last first-class Put it outside to be a county magistrate, the next best is to be a censor in the capital, and the best is in the Imperial Academy. Officials in Beijing want to be promoted not in practice, but in reputation. Who dares to speak out, who dares to Whoever speaks shocking words can become famous and get promoted quickly. The Imperial Academy is wondering whether it can be a lecturer in the Eastern Palace to accompany the prince, or else the Imperial Academy and the Taipu Temple will take shortcuts step by step. If you don't make mistakes in the year, you can always have a position as a servant. Most of the princes of the central hub have never been out of the capital. The capital officials fight every day for fame. , eunuchs are naturally much more reliable than civil servants."

"Oh? Wang Zhen, Gu Dayong, Wang Zhi, and Liu Jin are all regarded in the history books as the keystones of disaster and chaos, ruining the world!"

Hearing Wang Tong's question, Yang Sichen felt strange, because Wang Tong had never said this, but seeing the smile on Wang Tong's face, he replied easily:
"When the eunuchs are in power, the world may not be so bad. When the people are in power, the world may not be so good. According to the history books, adults need to see who wrote the history books. It must not be eunuchs who write history."

"That's not necessarily the case. Sima Qian edited the Shiji, but he is an eunuch."

Wang Tong made a joke, Yang Sichen was taken aback, and the two sides looked at each other and laughed, the chat was relaxed, Wang Tong was about to continue talking, but he heard hurried footsteps outside the door, and heard Han Gang outside the door saying loudly:
"My lord, there are already nearly [-] scholars gathered outside the gate of the yamen, and there are still people rushing over from the street!"

Hearing this, Yang Sichen's expression changed. Wang Tongduan sat there, sneered and said:
"coming!"
