Who is Wang Tiqian?

From an official point of view, this is an existence one level higher than the second uncle Wei Zhongxian.

Because, this is the eunuch of the Heavenly Apocalypse Dynasty.

However, the second uncle is just a celebrant and a eunuch of the East Factory.

Among the celebrants, in addition to the eunuchs with palm prints, the eunuchs with the pen, and the eunuchs with the hall, there is also a eunuch who is admiral.

This admiral eunuch has not been held since the Chenghua Dynasty, but the position has always existed. According to the rules of the Inner Court, the eunuch is the supreme head of the Inner Court, and anyone below him must kneel and kowtow after meeting, and call himself the boss. However, it is precisely because the position of the eunuch is too high, so it has gradually become a fictitious, and since the Chenghua Dynasty, no one has served again. Instead, the eunuch of Si Li's palm seal became the first person in the inner court.

However, a system is a system and will never be set in stone. This is just as rules are dead and people are alive, and the supreme leader of the inner court is not necessarily the most favored by the emperor. The one who is most favored by the emperor is the most powerful person in the inner court.

Wang Tiqian is the honor of the palm seal of the Si Li, and Li Yongzhen, who is also the eunuch of the Si Li Bingbi, became the right-hand man of the second uncle in the inner court, and the henchman of the henchmen. The reason is that in the inner court, he, the eunuch with the palm seal, is not the most favored by the emperor, and the emperor favors the second uncle.

In this matter, there is also a story, saying that after Wang Tiqian took over Wang An as the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrity, according to the ranking of the eunuch of the celebrity, his eunuch with the palm seal must be on the head of the second uncle of the Admiral Dongchang. However, Wang Tiqian asked the master of ceremonies and the clerical office to rank his name below the second uncle, so that the second uncle had nothing to fear about him and was extremely trusted.

Liangchen remembered that the history books said that because the second uncle was illiterate, he couldn't understand the cabinet's votes, and he couldn't understand what the foreign court's recitals said, so whenever this time, Wang Tiqian and Li Yongzhen would read it to the second uncle, and then the two would change the votes, and then the second uncle would ask the royal pen to approve the red.

Li Yongzhen is okay, he is really loyal to the second uncle, and he will not swerve until he dies, so when he reads the recital, he first reads it, and then the second uncle asks him if he doesn't understand anything, and he will answer. The second uncle doesn't ask, he will never interpret it on his own.

Wang Tiqian is different, every time it is his turn to read the recital, the second uncle always silently does not speak, and he is talking and writing all the time, and the second uncle is watching like a log.

It can be said that the second uncle has a lot of faith in Wang Tiqian, but the side also shows that this eunuch with the palm seal of Si Li is still a little strong.

This strength is not manifested in identity, but in knowledge. To a certain extent, Wang Tiqian may still look down on the second uncle, an illiterate 9,000-year-old.

Specifically, this is the difference between literacy and illiteracy.

No one dares to guarantee that when Wang Tiqian read the recital to his second uncle, he did a little bit of "Chinese translation" and mixed his own personal opinions, thus misleading the second uncle to make some judgments that were favorable to him.

Judging by selfishness, Liangchen felt that this was very likely, and if it were him, he would do the same.

This Wang Tiqian can be regarded as a ruthless person, and Wang An was killed by him.

After Wang An fell, the second uncle had no intention of putting him to death, as long as he went to Nanhaizi to serve as a clean army. But Wang Tiqian, because he was afraid of Wang An's resurrection, instructed his eunuch Liu Chao to serve as the governor of Nanhaizi and asked him to kill Wang An. After Liu Chao took office, he ordered that food should not be sent to Wang An, so Wang An had to dig radishes under the fence to eat. Three days later, Liu Chao saw that Wang An had not been starved to death, so he killed him directly.

No matter from which point of view, this Wang Tiqian is definitely one of the second uncle's irons, and he charged into battle against the Donglin Party, made great contributions, and was recognized as one of the backbones of the Eunuch Party. However, such a backbone of the eunuch party, after Chongzhen came to power, he was only convicted of the seventh degree (a total of eight degrees), and the crime was only flattering, and the light one could not be lighter.

The second uncle died, Li Yongzhen died, the Hakka family also died, and the eldest brother Liangqing, who had never done anything bad, also died, but Wang Tiqian lived unharmed.

This is a very unreasonable thing, Liangchen's interpretation is that this palm seal eunuch died of illness on the day of the apocalypse, and on the day that King Xin was about to become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he had already rebelled against his second uncle and became Chongzhen's internal response. Otherwise, there is no way to explain everything that followed.

Wang Tiqian didn't pay attention to the small case head of the river that the concubine Niangniang on the opposite side specially asked him to bring was very weird, and he was only chewing pears there.

This was the first time he had left Beijing, and he had been working as an errand boy in Shangshan before that, and he had been there since graduating from the Inner Study, and it had been eight years. In the past eight years, he has not mixed very well, and he has only taken on an errand to serve the emperor, which is much worse than those classmates who have already become young eunuchs and eunuchs. Therefore, when he learned that he was sent on a business trip, he was very excited and reminded himself that he must seize this opportunity so that he could leave a little impression on the concubine.

Speaking of which, Wang Tiqian and Guifei Niangniang are still fellow villagers, his family is from Changping, and Guifei Niangniang is from Daxing. It's hard to say whether his trip to Beijing this time also benefited from the identity of this fellow countryman.

The two Jinyi guards riding horses outside are Xiaoqi, one is called Tian Gang, born in the eighteenth year of Wanli, and the other is called Li Wei, who was born in the sixteenth year of Wanli, both of whom are hereditary Jinyiwei.

Tian Gang is the brocade guard who didn't go to pick pears with Wang Tiqian, and he is also good-looking, but he is notoriously black-hearted. But in addition, this Tian Gang is also brave, and he once assisted the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division to catch two Jiangyang thieves, and that time, he asked the other party to cut two knives, both of which were cut at the critical point. That's it, they all gritted their teeth and successfully dragged this opponent down, and were captured alive by the soldiers of the Five Cities who rushed over, and later they all called tying up the vegetable market and passing the knife. And he was left with two long scars, like a large centipede, and taking off his clothes can scare crying children.

Another Xiaoqi named Li Wei is very greedy for life and afraid of death, this person has no merits to say except for being greedy for money and lustful, let alone has no ambition. is the kind of being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day, and what he wants in his life is to be able to keep Jinyiwei's job, and then pass the small flag to his son.

Wang Zhubo and his entourage turned back to the county seat halfway, and Wang Tiqian continued to go north with Wei Liangchen. Along the way, there was hardly any communication between the two sides.

It's not that Wei Liangchen doesn't want to communicate with this second uncle's left hand, but that the other party seems to have been explained, kept his mouth shut, and didn't reveal anything to him.

However, the two brocade guards would say a few words to Wei Liangchen when they stopped halfway, and Liangchen had a good impression of Tian Gang, because this guy was generous and invited him to drink a lot of wine. That Levi is very stingy, even if there is a subsidy for the tolerance and reimbursement of expenses, he is reluctant to pay for it, and he is all rubbing Tian Gang.

The good ministers can't look at it, but Tian Gang doesn't care.

This time into Beijing is not a big carriage with horses and horses, there are many people and slow cars, and it only takes seven days to arrive in Tongzhou.
