Chapter 156: The End of Too Good Eloquence
The famous and hot eunuch Wang Zhi is coming, and the eunuchs of Yansui Town and Yulinwei are crazy busy. Commander Zhang Yao, Eunuch Zhang, and Peng Qingpeng, in order to go out of the city for 200 miles or 100 miles, there was a heated discussion
In Vanity Fair, ushering in the send-off is not the most important thing but also quite important, different scales represent different specifications, but also represent different positions.
For example, when Governor Yang first took office, the leading and influential people in the yamen such as the General Military Town, Yulin Wei, and Buzheng Branch Division had to go out to greet them, but the eunuchs did not need to guard the town.
Because the town guard eunuch and the governor are in different systems, and the sources of power are also different, the authority of the governor is useless in front of the town guard eunuch.
And this time, Eunuch Wang patrolled the border to Yulin, and the local town guard eunuch had to go out to greet him, and Commander Wei Peng of Yulin also wanted to greet Eunuch Wang in order to tie up with him, but the governor theoretically didn't need it.
Of course, how it should be in practice is another matter. The key is to look at the size of the power and self-positioning, for example, there are many examples of the political envoy from the second rank to go out of the city to meet the seven rank patrol according to the imperial history.
In the governor's court, Governor Yang was also worried about whether to go out of the city to meet Wang Zhi. This is definitely not a simple problem, as long as he goes out of the city to greet him, it symbolizes that he is under the king, but he is a little unwilling.
Governor Yang consulted with two aides. Master Cui's attitude was ambiguous and he had no accurate opinions, but Fang Yingwu resolutely opposed Governor Yang surrendering his identity and going out of the city to greet him.
The reason in Fang Yingwu's heart is very simple, he is now completely surrendering to Governor Yang. Under the power of the fox and the fake tiger, the height of Governor Yang is his height. If Governor Yang is shorter than others, won't he also be dwarfed?
How uncomfortable it was for the dwarves to be on their heads. He didn't want to taste it anymore, at least not in Yulin Border Town. Enough is enough when the warehouse is written.
Besides, it's not good to bow to anyone, how can you bow to Wang Zhi who swept his face? It's no good to keep your head down. A few years later, Wang Zhi collapsed, and the better she stammered, the more she was affected.
In the face of Fang Yingwu's resoluteness, Governor Yang hesitated: "Eunuch Wang has a great reputation, I heard that along the way, the governors of Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi all went out of the city to greet them, and even served before and after the saddle."
Fang Yingwu agitated: "It is precisely because others are so inflammatory, and Futai maintains the proud Bone Frost Festival, doesn't it look different and outstanding?"
This is also an opportunity to hope! Now what kind of reputation Wang Zhi has in the hearts of the world's soldiers, Futai doesn't know it. As long as Futai has some performance, it will inevitably be praised by the world!
It can be said that if Futai maintains his integrity, how famous Wang Zhi is, how high Futai's prestige is! To the reputation in hand, Futai doesn't want to either? ”
How can literati have a bad name, but most people's good reputation can't suppress practical interests. When Governor Yang heard the word fame, his heart moved, but he still hadn't made a decision.
Therefore, Fang Yingwu persuaded: "Wang Zhi patrolled the border to Yulin this time. It can be said that Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by, and he is obviously coming for side work.
It doesn't matter to anyone else in Yulin City, whether the boss is a governor or a border eunuch. What's the difference? They are all listening to and rewarding meritorious service, and serving in front of the horse.
However, only Futai suffered the most damage, and one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Originally, you must be the main merit of Futai, if you are willing to condescend to others. The great work will fall into the hands of Eunuch Wang!
Later life knows that this kind of credit may only be once in a lifetime. If you miss this time, you won't have it again. Therefore, Futai is different from others, and he can't wronged himself, and it's worth working hard. ”
Governor Yang smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Why don't you understand what you said about this court?" It's just that Wang Zhi is arrogant, and many times it's useless to think about it, but I'm afraid that I can't help it. ”
Fang Yingwu was speechless, Wang Zhi has been unprecedented in history for more than a year, and the psychological trauma and shadow caused to civil officials are too great.
Think about it, a teenage eunuch has just come out, and in a few months, he even killed a large piece of the first assistant with Shangshu, making the inner court and the outside of the world reshuffle. With such a momentum, who is not surprised, who is not afraid? When I saw it, I was stunned for three points.
You are all insiders who can't see the general trend clearly, Fang Yingwu secretly sighed, and said: "There is a scoundrel in my hometown, no one dares to provoke him, do you know why?" ”
Governor Yang didn't know why Fang Yingwu suddenly told the story, and heard Fang Yingwu say: "Because it is rumored that he has killed people, no one dares to provoke him, and the more people dare to provoke him, the more he is feared, the greater his arrogance."
Today's Eunuch Wang is in a similar situation, in fact, Eunuch Wang can't say that there is no Shili, he is still the favored cronies of the Son of Heaven. But compared with the rumored power, it is not an exaggeration to say that Eunuch Wang is a paper tiger.
The big things that Eunuch Wang has done, those are all done by the Son of Heaven. Eunuch Wang Weishenme wants to work on the side? That's because he found that the Son of Heaven might not need him anymore, and he was afraid that the birds would hide their bows and the rabbits would die and the dogs would cook. If Eunuch Wang was really confident, would he be worried about this? ”
Governor Yang and Master Cui were dumbfounded, looking at Fang Yingwu as if they were looking at monsters. Since they came into contact with Fang Yingwu, they feel that Fang Yingwu has an all-encompassing mind, and miscellaneous studies are more brilliant than scriptures.
Today, he can even talk about such a private matter as the relationship between the Son of Heaven and Eunuch Wang, is this nonsense or has some basis?
In other words, if a person can even know the mentality of the Son of Heaven well, is there a possibility that this person will not soar?
Fang Yingwu didn't care about the expressions of Governor Yang and Master Cui, and kept talking eloquently, "Of course, if it is a lowly position, or if it is a capital with entrenched internal prison strength, it is better to be respectful to Eunuch Wang."
But Futai is a feudal official, and it is a border town far away from Emperor Tiangao, and because of the school-running matter, why can't he make a difference?
If it is compared to the exchange of troops between two armies, then Eunuch Wang came from afar, he is not familiar with the place, and Futai has the advantage of being at home, so he is waiting for work, why should he surrender without a fight? ”
Master Cui interjected: "Brother Fang, don't ignore it, that Eunuch Wang seems to have colluded with Commander Peng, which you also expected in advance." In this way, it cannot be regarded as without foundation. ”
"What a concern, I'll think of a salary from the bottom of the kettle and let Commander Peng stand aside!" Fang Yingwu replied decisively, and continued: "And if you don't expect to win and lose first, even if Futai is disrespectful to Eunuch Wang, what is the loss?" The most serious situation is that Eunuch Wang was furious and played the Son of Heaven to remove the official position of Futai!
Just can't last long, and when the water is full, it overflows. Zuo Chuanyun, his rise is also vigorous, and his death is also sudden, and Eunuch Wang is exactly like this. Looking at the history books of the past and present, how can a person like him last long? As fast as you rise, you will fall as quickly as you fall.
According to my expectations, Eunuch Wang's luck is only a few years, and even if Futai is deposed, it will be easy to recover after a few years. But at that time, Futai will be a famous minister who is not afraid of power and eunuchs admired by the people of the world! ”
Governor Yang was originally inclined to follow the example of the previous governors, and went out of the city to meet Eunuch Wang with the crowd. This is also the general mentality in officialdom, and it is always the safest choice to follow the crowd, whether it is right or wrong.
But after listening to Fang Yingwu's words, Governor Yang felt that picking up the shelf seemed to have greater benefits, and the risks were also controllable. An exclusive business that is different from the rest, and it is always possible to make more money than others.
Governor Yang couldn't help but sigh to Master Cui: "I have tasted the words of the three-inch tongue, and I only knew what it meant when I saw Fang Xiu today." If it is placed in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, I don't know if Guan Le should be deserved, at least it is not a big problem to be a generation of Zhang Yi and Su Qin. ”
Is this a compliment? Fang Yingwu closed his mouth, only praising himself as his boss.
Master Cui pondered for a while and proposed to Governor Yang: "If the owner is difficult to decide, I have an idea. ”
"Say!" Governor Yang listened to it for a long time, and he really wanted to listen to Master Cui's opinion again, and he would be clear if he listened to it.
Master Cui glanced at Fang Yingwu a few times before he said, "It's better to let Brother Fang go out of the city to greet Eunuch Wang instead of the owner." In this way, it seems that the proprietor is not groveling, and it will not give Eunuch Wang the excuse to openly provoke. This is neither humble nor arrogant, the golden mean. ”
Governor Yang's eyes lit up, this is a good way, at least give it to the bottom of the steps, and outsiders will not say that he is too arrogant and rude.
Of course, if Eunuch Wang doesn't want this step, then there is no way, but it is better than not having even a step. The most important thing is that Fang Yingwu is a good candidate, and it is reassuring, if there is no Fang Yingwu, there is really no second suitable one.
Hearing this, Fang Yingwu hurriedly excused himself, "A Confucian student in the late life, how can he be greeted by the governor instead?" ”
It's not that he hasn't seen that Wang Zhi, it's clear that she is a moody adolescent rebellious girl, and it's very difficult to wait. Just stand behind Governor Yang and play the black hand, jumping to the front desk is not his current style, when can he be on his own and then come to the stage.
Master Cui stroked his beard and smiled: "Brother Fang is modest. I see that you know Eunuch Wang's situation well, and you are confident, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with it a few times? Besides, your words are convenient, and you are suitable for this kind of thing. If it were someone else, I wouldn't be at ease.
In fact, I should have shared the worries of the owner and went to greet Eunuch Wang, but I didn't have the ability of you, so I had to bother Brother Fang. Besides, Brother Fang, your status is precious, and you can afford to represent Futai, which is incomparable to me. ”
Governor Yang also persuaded the other party to respond: "When running a school, you dare to take on as much responsibility as you say how much ability you have, what a bold statement this is!" Now the words are still in my ears, so this time I will take you on a trip.
This is to make this court appear not to be deliberately arrogant and rude, and second, you take the opportunity to spy on Eunuch Wang's thoughts and movements, so as to prepare for the future. ”
Even though Fang Yingwu was first-class in eloquence, he had nothing to say at the moment. I can only sigh to myself, I always don't know how well I behave, and I go too far if I don't pay attention.
Speaking of which, he became the vanguard general of Governor Yang, and was sent to test Wang Zhi, and his previous tirade was like volunteering. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
