Chapter 43 Who Is Ruthless Between Me and Eunuch Wei
In Wang Hongyu's pocket were dismembered chimes, only the one given to Xu Guangqi by Matteo Ricci.
Li Tiezhu asked with great expectation: "Cousin, can you really get a dozen large and small clocks for me to disassemble and play with one by one?"
"Yes, but we need the help of Xu Guangqi and the next person."
The two of them walked not far to the east of the Forbidden City, which was later called Zhengyi Road and now called Zhengyi Street, which happened to be the intersection with Dongjiaominxiang.
I had previously asked my uncle about the residence of Eunuch Wei, and now the time has come to pay him a visit.
In the future, Eunuch Wei will prosper and move to Dongchang Hutong to buy a big mansion. It will be difficult to see him at that time.
When I came to Wei's house, I knocked on the door and paid a visit.
After knocking on the door a few times, a man who looked like a housekeeper came out, glanced at the two of them, and muttered with a sullen face: "Where are the two young young men...what do you want to do with them?"
"Looking for Eunuch Wei from Jiaziku, the visiting Sichuan Army Commander-in-Chief Wang Hongyu..."
"Just wait...father-in-law, he is very busy~"
The butler didn't even finish listening to what he said and just closed the door.
Wang Hongyu took a closer look at the yard. Although the location was impeccable and surrounded by good places, it was not actually luxurious or spacious.
This Eunuch Wei is the future "Nine Thousand Years Old", the famous Wei Zhongxian.
At this time, he was over fifty years old, and he was just an internal official in charge of Jiaziku affairs. His position was below that of the treasurer, and it was not considered a prominent position at all.
However, the Jiazi warehouse is one of the internal transport warehouses. The internal transport warehouse has a fifth-grade eunuch with a palm print. The subordinates have a total of ten warehouses, named after A, B, C, D, etc., to store the goods enshrined in various places. This has given him some oil and water, and his days are gradually getting better.
Become rich.
However, this little achievement so far is not worth mentioning compared to the "Nine Thousand Years" achievement in the future.
He himself could not have imagined that in three months he would have a head-to-head confrontation with the Donglin Party, and in the future he would wield power and crush them all.
Speaking of opportunities, it was because he had taken care of Wang Cairen who was next to the prince. Although Wang Cairen died early, he was sent back to Jiaziku to stay away from politics. But it happened that Wang Cairen gave birth to the future Emperor Tianqi before.
He is about to rise. If we don't make friends now, we won't have such a good opportunity in the future.
After a while, footsteps approached in the yard. The housekeeper didn't even open the door, but shouted from inside: "No, father-in-law, he has a migraine..."
Father-in-law, he has a migraine~
Said silver is not heavy enough~
Good guy!
As expected of Eunuch Wei...
Wei Zhongxian was mentioned in some novels of later generations, saying that he was actually easy to deal with, a relatively kind old man, or an honest and kind person who was easily deceived.
This is all bullshit...
No matter who is right or wrong between him and the Donglin Party, or who is more helpful to the current situation, they are by no means easy to deal with.
In my own opinion, he has two characteristics that will exist for a long time even if he does not reach the position of "nine thousand years old".
One is ruthlessness.
The second is greed.
When he was in his 30s, he was greedy for money and became extremely poor through gambling. He saw that he had no hope of pursuing his career, and that he no longer wanted his wife and children. No matter what, he was sorry for his ancestors, but at the bottom he was looked down upon. He would just cut him off...
Just thinking about it makes us feel sick. He is so cruel and he does it himself. He is really well-fed and well-fed.
The same goes for Wang An and others when dealing with the Wei Dynasty later... They are endlessly greedy for money, status and career, and use the most ruthless means to deal with themselves, let alone others.
Without ability, money, strength and prospects, it is absolutely impossible for him to bring any help to me.
That's why we don't look for the future "Nine Thousand Years Old" as soon as we enter the capital, because it's not that easy just like now.
However, I, Wang Hongyu, am here well prepared, and I want to take advantage of your influence to cause trouble~
Li Tiezhu asked: "Cousin, do you want to tell me your uncle's name? After all, my uncle has a high status in the palace, so Eunuch Wei will be willing to make friends with him, right?"
"Haha, this is not cruel enough~"
Wang Hongyu's smile was bright and sunny, but Li Tiezhu remembered his ferocity when he smashed the female killer's face.
My cousin is going to get mad...
Wang Hongyu got lucky and said loudly:
"Why are you hiding? I've beaten the Dengwen drum, so why can't I knock on your door!?"
"What are you afraid of? Yesterday I beat the Dengwen drum, and today I stand in front of your house. Do you know what it means!?"
Suddenly, he roared twice so suddenly that the whole street fell silent.
"Fuck!"
I heard a sharp response from inside, banging on the door, falling, and messy footsteps coming one after another.
"Click~" The door opened wildly, and the housekeeper and others stood on both sides, lowering their heads and not daring to look at anyone.
A fair-faced man who looked to be in his fifties, was dressed quite luxuriously, and looked a bit handsome at first glance. If you look carefully at his eyes, you can feel the sense of scrutiny and penetration. He stepped forward steadily:
"The Zajia is Wei Jinzhong, please forgive me, two young heroes~"
Hehe~ If Eunuch Wei greets us with this attitude today, he will probably want to rip off our skin in the future.
But he still has to thank us, because you are going to be my partner.
See, I have to show off my skills first, so that he can see me as a powerful guy with more strength and cruelty.
Come on~
Do things together to liven up the atmosphere~
Entering the lobby, Wei Jinzhong ordered everyone to prepare tea and then turned away.
Wang Hongyu took a closer look at the future Jiu Qiansui and found that he did not look vicious and domineering at all. He did have the feeling of a kind uncle. Could it be that he was really easy to deal with and an honest and kind person who was easily deceived?
Wei Jinzhong was also murmuring in his heart.
So young? This man is too ruthless. He risked his life to beat the Dengwen drum and provoke the Wanli Emperor who hated being disturbed the most... Not only did nothing happen, he even came to my door the next day. This must be wrong.
Good thing.
The more I think about it, the more hairy I feel. I feel like I have finally managed to live a little more comfortably in Jiaziku. Isn’t it possible that I will be remembered now?
Wang Hongyu chuckled: "Eunuch Wei, you are the only one who can help me today. Have you saved anything good over the years?"
"Ouch!"
Really worried, Wei Zhongxian leaned back and pushed the chair back with his butt.
This Wei Zhongxian is not "9,000 years old" yet. He is still called Wei Jinzhong. He seems to be an honest and honest uncle who is being blackmailed.
But Wang Hongyu saw through his appearance and knew that if he was ruthless, Wei Zhongxian was almost invincible. Some people seemed to be ignorant, even weak and useless in the first half of their lives, but if they were really ruthless, they would be better than anyone else.
Yan Song, who was in his 40s back then, looked like an errand boy. He couldn't figure out how to get around, and then...
I am no longer a human being...I am suddenly invincible...
Therefore, you must never look down on others, even if you are young or not doing well.
Wei Jinzhong actually knew it in his heart. He beat the Dengwen drum yesterday and ran to his door today. This was a huge opportunity, but he didn't show it. Instead, he was "scared of it."
Wanli, look at this person, who can compare with you in terms of family, knowledge, knowledge, resources and connections? But he is just trying his best to get away with it, and no one can see his true thoughts.
This is why Wanli cannot defeat civil servants, but Eunuch Wei can. This chapter has been completed!
