Chapter 944: Neutrality
Grandpa Wei sighed with emotion, and admired this Cui Laozi who dared to knock on his bamboo bar.
But I don't know that if he takes a good look at the resume of Cui Laozi, he will know why people have such confidence and courage.
Cui Laozi is a great figure, he is a Jinshi in the Longqing period, originally served as the head of the household department, Langzhong, and became the prefect of Jinan, and later did Shaanxi to block grain and participate in politics, and served as the right deputy capital of the imperial history in the 32nd year of Wanli, which is the second person in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, second only to the General Constitution.
Ordinary people have achieved this level of official status and have so much experience, so even if they do not enter the cabinet, they should be important ministers of the six ministries.
However, Cui Laozi was neither promoted to the general constitution, nor was he able to enter the cabinet, let alone transfer the six ministries to serve as officials, but instead called the Nanjing Military Department to be a waiter on the cold bench.
The reason is that Cui Laozi called someone to sue him.
In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, the imperial history impeached Cui Zhijia for "making friends with the inner servants".
It is very taboo for an internal servant to make friends with a foreign official, and for a foreign official to make a friend to an internal servant. It's good not to be accused and stabbed in the open, but once it's on the table, there is no excuse, and the parties have no other way than to resign to clear their suspicions.
Cui Zhijia wrote to resign as usual, but the emperor did not send it. Kedaoqing was in an uproar, and there was a book in the imperial history, and there was a spirit of not giving up if he didn't drive Master Cui home.
Cui Zhijia has a headache, and the official must not be able to do it anymore, but he really doesn't want to go back to his hometown like this.
Fortunately, the servant he made friends with was still full of weight, and finally sent it to Nanjing. In this way, it can not only block the mouth of Beijing Kedao, but also allow Cui Zhijia not to return to his hometown in disgrace.
It's the best ending.
The two chamberlains who contributed were Admiral Yin Sui, Shang Bao, and Qian Zhong, the eunuch of the three eunuchs of the Zhidian Palace, who was the godchild of Chen Hong, the great master of Jiajing.
The other is Si Li Bingbi, the red man in front of the Queen Mother, and Wang Shun, who is known as "Mr. Can't Do It" in the palace.
Qian Zhong and Wang Shun are both from Jizhou, and Jizhou and Cangzhou are the two "main production areas" of eunuchs in this dynasty.
This dynasty is an official, and both the internal and external dynasties pay attention to the relationship between teachers and students (father and son) and fellow villagers in the same year. Qian and Wang Bingbi and Cui Zhijia are fellow villagers, echoing inside and outside and assisting each other, which is normal.
And what is not known is that Cui Shilang and Wang Shun are still brothers who change the sticker, and their son Cui Chengxiu will call him "uncle" when he sees Wang Shun.
With such two eunuchs in the background, let's ask, how could Cui Shilang be afraid of Gonggong Wei.
The son has a big pen to be the "uncle", just ask, how can Cui Shilang be afraid of revenge against his son.
If you really want to talk about it, as long as you are Gonggong Wei 10,000 taels, it is merciful. Of course, this is also the shrewdness of Lord Squiro.
Greed is easy to get into trouble.
10,000 taels is not up or down, you Wei Gonggong can accept it, and he Cui can also eat enough. He didn't really prepare this money for his own use, but prepared it for his son Cui Chengxiu.
Next year, Cui Chengxiu will take the entrance examination, and Cui Shilang believes that his son will definitely be able to enter the Jinshi, but it is unknown whether he can rank high.
Therefore, it is necessary to make a point or two, in order to be a good man. This is different from bribery, but it is a high ranking, there is too much room for maneuver, and there is no risk.
has been an official for decades, and Cui Shilang has saved no more silver, and less is not less. But for some money to ask for a Jishi, plus for the future arrangements for his son, this money is definitely not enough.
The squire of the Nanjing Military Department is a cold bench again, there is no oil and water, and seeing that he is about to return to his hometown at the end of the year, can the squire not be in a hurry?
This is a steep and unruly collision with a Wei eunuch, and Lord Shilang can't let go of the opportunity.
The so-called wealth and danger are sought,
Isn't this why you eunuch Wei are doing these things?
I won't stop you from getting rich, but it's not an exaggeration to get some out of your fingers.
Sure enough, Eunuch Wei was willing to share the profits.
Cui Shilang was satisfied, after so many years, he could see through one thing.
That is to deal with eunuchs, which is far more refreshing than dealing with those officials, there are not so many twists and turns, and there are not so many speculations.
Collect money to do things.
After Cui Zhijia returned to the city, he went to find Shangguan and Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department.
If he wanted to urge the Duke of Wei to pay quickly, he had to try to get the Wei eunuchs into the city, and this matter had to fall on the Nanjing soldiers and the eunuchs who were guarding inside.
……….
Wang Yongguang and Liu Chaoyong, the inner guard, were anxious at the moment, and they didn't know how to deal with this tricky matter, and the two discussed for a long time without a result, because Wei Guogong would not let go.
This matter was frozen, and the parties did not agree, so they asked the two helpers to persuade how to do it.
As soon as he saw Cui Zhijia, Wang Yongguang grabbed him and said, "Brother Pingyuan came just in time, I was about to ask someone to look for you." Although he is the official of the other party, Wang Yongguang knows Cui Zhijia's past, so he never goes to the official residence.
"Today's events are like a fire at the city gate, which affects the fish in the pond."
Cui Zhijia shook his head and said with a puzzled expression: "But I don't know what this matter has to do with this soldier and Gonggong Liu, why do you want the two of you to be so worried?" ”
Wang Yongguang was stunned, thinking about it, this matter really had nothing to do with him, the reason why he got involved was not just Wei Guogong's request, otherwise he had a fart relationship with him.
Gonggong Liu didn't want to interfere at all earlier, and even the information that Wei Guogong and them went to "crusade" against Wei Liangchen was sent by him.
The reason why he intervened later was that Wei Guogong personally came to the door to ask for help, and second, Nanjing was the capital of Naliudu, and Wei Liangchen led his troops to make a big fuss outside the city, which really had a bad impact.
The third is a little selfish, wanting to take this opportunity to highlight the importance of his internal garrison, but Wei Liangchen didn't give him any face, and took care of him in vain before Father-in-law Liu.
But now is not the time to deal with Wei Liangchen, if he doesn't solve the matter as soon as possible, it will be difficult for him to explain it on the emperor's side.
The Shence Gate, which was garrisoned by the lieutenant guard of Jiangnan Town, was slashed, and who dared to say that this matter had nothing to do with his internal garrison.
You know, when I heard that Wei Liangchen was not dead, Gonggong Liu breathed a sigh of relief. But I didn't expect that this kid would still have the energy to make trouble after he was seriously injured, and he also got a coffin to ask for justice, which is really infuriating and funny.
There were so many public revelations in the city overnight, and it was not this kid behind him who was a ghost, and Grandpa Liu lived his life in vain.
But even if he knew, Gonggong Liu couldn't say anything, Wei Liangchen was a eunuch, wasn't his old man a eunuch.
In the current situation, Father-in-law Liu has to stand even if he doesn't stand Wei Liangchen, but Duke Wei stiffened, telling him what he can do, he can't pay for it himself.
You must know that Wei Liangchen's soldiers and horses are so capable of fighting, and Gonggong Liu will never report the news, and the two families will lose both sides, which is the best suit for his internal garrison interests.
Now the family is strong and aggressive, and he doesn't even give face to Grandpa Liu.
The family is weak, and they are still stubborn, and they pull him Liu Gonggong together, this thing is really difficult to handle.
Cui Zhijia, Gonggong Liu also knows, knows that he has a lot to do with the palace, so he also wants to hear his opinion.
"It's none of my business, but at the moment it's nothing to do. Brother Pingyuan, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled? Wang Yongguang smiled bitterly.
Cui Shilang thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, it's better to let that little Wei father-in-law enter the city." ”
"Let him go into the city?"
Wang Yongguang and Liu Chaoyong were stunned.
"I went to Zhengyangmen just now, but Xiao Wei's father-in-law is shouting that the heavens will punish the adulterer, if you don't let him into the city, wouldn't you say that the two of you are also rape? said that the two of them were not treacherous, and if they refused to enter the city like this, I am afraid that the two of them would be in the same group as Wei Guogong......"
Cui Shilang must remind these two that one of them is the garrison of the southern capital, and the other is the secretary of the Nanjing military department, representing the emperor and the imperial court, but not the lords and ministers of the southern capital, so they must remain "neutral" and must not fall into it.
And at this moment, only these two transcendents can better restrain both sides.
The two tigers compete, and the one holding the spear next to them is the one who determines the strength.
Wang Shangshu was a little undecided, he knew what Cui Zhijia meant, but he was worried that letting Wei Eunuch into the city would cause a big mess.
"This soldier doesn't have to worry, I've been observing Xiao Wei's father-in-law for many days, he is a Lianming person... He oppresses others with his name, and I can also oppress him with his name. Cui Shilang chuckled, he believed that the two in front of him understood what he meant.
"What does Gonggong Liu think?" Wang Yongguang kicked the ball to Liu Chaoyong.
Liu Chaoyong pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
………
Just after noon, people from the inner garrison and the Nanjing military department came to see Father-in-law Wei.
The people who came were respectively on behalf of the internal garrison Liu Gonggong and the military department Wang Shangshu and the three chapters of the Wei Gong Convention Law.
That is, the Duke of Wei can enter the city, but he must not disturb the people; 2. Shall not interfere with the Yamen of the Division; 3. Do not injure human life.
As long as Gonggong Wei agrees to these three, then he can enter the city and enter the city openly.
Gonggong Wei would not have come around in the city, but when he heard these three articles, he was overjoyed and hurried.
Soon, the gate of Zhengyang City slowly opened.
Gonggong Wei held back his excitement and ordered the coffin to be carried into the city.
The ceremony of entering the city was very tragic, and it was almost a white flag.
When the news reached the Wei Mansion, Xu Gong angrily scolded Wang Yongguang and Liu Chao for being unjust.
Just when everyone thought that after Gonggong Wei entered the city, he would go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion to settle accounts, but he didn't want to, but the first place that Gonggong Wei ran to was the Marquis of Fengcheng.
