You Dakai pondered these four words and understood, but he felt that it was better to kill the chicken and show it to the monkey.
Ma Gonggong has been a tax envoy in Tianjin for 15 years, and it can be said that he is the oldest among the mine tax envoys. However, no matter how majestic the eunuch is when he goes out, and then he gets the favor of the saint, he can't be compared with the inner court celebrant Da Jue.
You Dakai heard that Ma Gonggong had spent a lot of money to plot to return to Beijing and Jin Bingbi a few years ago, but he has not been able to do so, and last year he had a conflict with Gao Huai, the mine supervisor in Liaodong, because of this incident. In order to compete for the position of the pen, it can be said that the two sides are inseparable.
Finally, I heard that Gao Huai sent people to Linqing, Ma Gonggong's territory, to collect a lot of evidence, and prepared to submit a petition to Ma Gonggong in front of the emperor.
Ma Gonggong was unwilling to fail after receiving the news, and personally visited Luo Sigong, the commander of Jinyiwei, who was also in Tianjin, overnight, and did not know what benefits were promised.
Dongchang's side was instructed by Gonggong Chen, and also sent a lot of people to intercept people, You Dakai was not in Beijing at that time, so he did not participate, but his top boss Deng Xian personally led people there.
Afterwards, I heard that Deng Xian arrested the person and was a fat man. Gonggong Chen personally went to Dongchang to interrogate this person, but afterwards the incident suddenly calmed down, as if it had never happened.
You Dakai had no way of knowing what happened next, and Deng Xian didn't talk to him about it. He only knew that Gao Huai suddenly lost his position because of the military mutiny at the closed gate, and Ma Gonggong, who had a high voice to enter Beijing, did not return to Beijing as he wished because of Gao Huai's loss of power, but also stopped drumming, at least You Dakai did not hear about the return of Tianjin tax envoy Ma Tang to Beijing.
Now that I think about it, I am afraid that Chen Gonggong must have done something at that time, or coerced Ma Gonggong in private, causing Ma Gonggong to have to rest and return to Beijing.
Now that Gonggong Chen is dead, the biggest obstacle to Ma Tang's return to Beijing can be said to no longer exist, and another 200,000 taels of silver will be released into the inner treasury to buy the emperor's consent, this time I am afraid that no one will be able to prevent this Ma Gonggong from ascending to the throne of the eunuch Bingbi.
The price is big, but it's small.
Compared with the eunuch Si Li Bingbi, 200,000 taels of silver is still cheaper. If you add the position of the eunuch of the Admiral Dongchang, Ma Tang can be said to have done a big thing with a small amount of money.
You Dakai has never seen Ma Tang, but he has heard a lot of rumors about this person, and all kinds of news show that this Ma Gonggong is a ruthless man who will be revenged. and acted unscrupulously, even more domineering than Gao Huai.
Because the merchants of Linqing rebelled against him, he even mobilized thousands of thugs and murderers to commit murder against the merchants in broad daylight, killing and injuring hundreds of people, and then the merchants and people of Linqing collectively boycotted the market for three months. However, because of the emperor's trust, Yu Matang did not lose any of this matter, but asked him to arrest the leader, and forced the Linqing Shang Market to reopen.
This kind of character, the way back to Beijing has been blocked for several years, and it is impossible not to resent it in his heart. It is foreseeable that this time Ma Tang is really going to return to Beijing as he wishes, and there must be many people in the palace who will be a thorn in his side, and he will not be happy.
You Da opened his calculations, and after Ma Tang returned to Beijing, the two who could compete with him in the inner court were Jin Zhong and Sun Xian, these two Da Jue were much more qualified than Ma Tang, and now they were candidates for the palm seal of the master of ceremonies. No matter who takes over, I am afraid that I don't want to see a strong Ma Tang in the prison.
As a result, the bowl of water is uneven.
With the identity of the eunuch Bingbi alone, Ma Tang was not enough to make Jin and Sun bow to him, or be polite, and it was impossible to purge all the people and horses left by Chen Ju.
If you want to say anything in the inner court, Ma Tang's only possibility is Admiral Dongchang.
Since the day of the East Factory, the factory has always been the most powerful one in the inner court.
As the eunuch of the Admiral Dongchang, Ma Tang can borrow the hands of the Dongchang to get rid of all the people he wants to get rid of.
In this world, there is nothing that the factory guard can't do. Even Ma Tang directly ordered the East Factory to investigate the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, and the top and bottom of the East Factory would do the same. Once the East Factory is activated, the emperor is the only one who can stop it.
You Dakai understood Ma Gonggong, and if it were him, he would spare no effort to make himself a factory father. However, there was one question that he never understood.
Deng Xian said that today's move is to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, knock who shocks whom, what is the reason, You Dakai can think of it. It's nothing more than Ma Tang taking advantage of this matter to establish his authority and let those people in the inner court know their means.
However, it was noon when he received the order, but the people of Ma Tang were still in Tianjin, and the holy decree of the commander of Dongchang had not come down, how could Deng Qianhu be so sure that Ma Tang would definitely be the prince of the factory, and he spared no effort to deal with Jin Zhong's people. Isn't he afraid that Ma Tang will be blocked in Tianjin as before?
You Dakai noticed that the people in Zuo'anmen today were all Deng Xian's two subordinates, and no one from the other outside files came over, and Cao Yuankui, one of the four stalls, was in charge of the affairs of the East Factory this month.
Does this mean that from beginning to end, Gonggong Cao is actually arranging the deployment, and the other three big stall leaders don't know about it?
Deng Xian is Cao Yuankui's person, and it was Cao Yuankui who took a fancy to Deng Xian, who had made a contribution to the investigation and handling of the "Demon Book Case", and transferred him from Jinyiwei to Dongchang, step by step, to today's deputy Qianhu.
You Dakai thought that his guess was likely to be true, and he first ruled out Jin Liangfu, who was a close confidant of Gonggong Chen, and it was definitely impossible for him to take the initiative to join Ma Tang. The other two are more or less related to Chen Gonggong, but Cao Yuankui and Chen Ju have nothing to do with each other, and Cao and Jin Liangfu have a bad relationship, and the two have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time in Dongchang.
Therefore, if Cao Yuankui takes refuge in Ma Tang, the matter can be explained.
You Dakai glanced at Deng Xian, and found that the other party was refreshed, and seemed to close his eyes to recuperate, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if this matter was really done by Cao Yuankui alone, and the other three big stall heads didn't know about it, and if it wasn't done well, it was very likely that he would become a victim of the internal struggle in Dongchang. However, the matter has come to this point, and he has no choice but to quit and stop doing it, only by getting things done, can he have a glimmer of life.
You Dakai was sure that before today, he had never heard Deng Xian talk about Zuo'anmen, so he was sure that this matter was sudden, and Deng Xian had not arranged for people to monitor the little eunuch surnamed Wei before.
In addition, Ma Gonggong wants to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, there are two tigers, one surnamed Jin and the other surnamed Sun, why did he choose the tiger surnamed Jin instead of the one surnamed Sun?
You Da thought about it, but he couldn't explain whether this was a coincidence or an early morning layout.
When he was hurting his brain, a dark shadow suddenly flashed under the window in front of Deng Xian.
"The head of the stall, the people of the Jinyi Guard have passed."
"Oh?" Deng Xian smiled slightly, "Go and keep an eye on it, something will come to report." ”
The shadow answered, and disappeared into the night.
"Sixth Master, should we go over and have a look?" You Dakai was a little worried.
Deng Xian waved his hand: "No need, Jinyiwei is not the waste of the Soldiers and Horses, if they can't settle the little eunuch, it's not too late for us to go up to the East Factory." ”
After You Da listened, he hesitated and did not say anything.
Xicheng, Chongguo Temple, someone in a meditation room is playing the qin.
Outside the door, a young man in a flying fish suit was respectfully there, not daring to go in and interrupt the sound of the piano.
This man's name is Tian Ergeng.
