After the emperor smiled, the unfamiliar and dull atmosphere was resolved, but some people were very unhappy. This was Eunuch Liang, the eunuch and eunuch Liang Fang.
Standing next to the emperor, Eunuch Liang's eyes towards Fang Yingwu were full of gloom, and he made his attitude clear to everyone without any concealment.
This attitude is very obvious and distinct. Some eunuchs originally wanted to change their ways after seeing His Majesty being made laugh by Fang Yingwu. However, seeing Liang Fang's attitude, they immediately took the initiative to isolate themselves from Fang Yingwu.
When Eunuch Liang gets angry, it will be very serious. In the eunuch profession, Eunuch Liang is already one of the top four or five people.
Even if Fang Yingwu was asking for a small favor, he was still a foreign minister. Eunuch Liang was a popular figure around the emperor and could directly control the fate of their eunuchs. Since Eunuch Liang had made his stance clear, they could only be careful.
I am afraid that only a favored eunuch like Liang Fang would dare to express his emotions so unscrupulously in front of His Majesty. Who else would not cover themselves carefully for fear of making the emperor dissatisfied?
Although Liang Fang and Fang Yingwu have never met or had any contact, Eunuch Liang's hatred for Fang Yingwu has a long history. Unknowingly, it has accumulated and deepened, and it has become so deep that it is impossible to resolve it.
.
Everyone knows that Liang Fang is a sycophant. Everyone says that Liang Fang is actually a high-end escort who eats, drinks and plays with His Majesty. She really has no political attributes.
Although he is also a popular eunuch, compared with powerful eunuchs with strong political attributes such as Hua En, who is the ceremonial supervisor, and Wang Zhi, who is the factory guard, Eunuch Liang's reputation is much lower. Even he, the royal eunuch, is also Wang Zhi.
You just throw it away and don’t get it.
In the eyes of outsiders, Eunuch Liang was favored by the emperor and was able to influence everything inside and outside. But how could he be willing to do so? Having reached this position, could he be regarded as a high-level helper for the rest of his life? Is it possible that he had reached this point?
It's so bad that you can't even get through the door of the Supervisor of Ceremonies?
However, even if Eunuch Liang has the idea of crossing over into politics, the obstacles are still huge. First of all, he is not from the inner school, so he cannot take the bright and smooth road of entering the ceremonial office; secondly, he lacks the illustrious meritorious qualifications accumulated by Wang Zhi.
Many things are done unfairly and unjustly.
But it all depends on manpower, and there are many ways to do it. The most common one is to slowly take control of the factory guards, and then take this curved path to become a political strongman in the eunuch circle.
In addition, you can cultivate qualified cronies and send them to the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Doesn't that mean you have indirect control? At the same time, you can subtly promote yourself. If you have the strength, some things will naturally fall into place.
Eunuch Liang has indeed worked hard in these two aspects, but after several years, the situation is still a pity. Eunuch Liang is still a escort-type figure. He has many small arrangements, but he has not formed a complete political system. Moreover, Eunuch Liang is still a escort-type figure.
A detailed analysis of the reasons for the failure revealed that more than half of them came from Fang Yingwu.
As early as seven years ago, Fang Yingwu's father, Fang Qingzhi, had impeached Eunuch Liang, but nothing happened after that. Eunuch Liang himself did not pay much attention to it. However, Fang Yingwu's actions after he became an official.
Liang Fang was completely angered, and old grievances were often not avenged but new grievances arose again.
Previously, Liang Fang secretly formed an alliance with Shang Ming, the former Admiral of Dongchang, but Shang Ming was deposed by Fang Yingwu. Eunuch Liang sadly lost an important helper. Where else can he find another ally at the level of Admiral of Dongchang?
The Jiangnan procurement eunuch Wang Jing was a member of Liang Fang's network and was from Nei Shutang. Liang Fang originally wanted to take advantage of Long Yan's joyful opportunity to say a few favors and send Wang Jing to the palace after Wang Jing had completed the search and presented it to the emperor.
He went to be the Director of Ceremonies and continued to support and cultivate him as his own foundation.
As a result, Wang Jing was directly forced to hang himself by Fang Yingwu in Suzhou Mansion. A talent that he had worked hard to cultivate for many years disappeared inexplicably.
What is even more hateful is that Eunuch Liang and another powerful eunuch, Eunuch Wang, do not deal with each other, and the power struggle between them has never stopped. At the beginning, Eunuch Wang was the eunuch of the Royal Horse and the supervisor of the West Factory. Eunuch Liang wanted to be the eunuch of the Royal Horse.
, and then there was a commotion.
Later, Eunuch Wang briefly lost power and went to the border town. At this time, Eunuch Liang took the opportunity to get the position of Royal Horse Supervisor and Eunuch. Then Eunuch Wang came back strongly and became the governor of the East Factory. He once again directly confronted Eunuch Liang who was trying to interfere with the factory guards.
superior.
Eunuch Wang's side work was due to Fang Yingwu's planning, and Eunuch Wang was able to come back strong and take control of Dongchang. It was also due to Fang Yingwu's deposing Shang Ming.
Therefore, Fang Yingwu can be called Eunuch Wang’s lucky star, and he has repeatedly ruined Eunuch Liang’s key plans. How can he not make Eunuch Liang jealous based on this alone?
To be honest, even Liang Fang himself would never have imagined that in just a few years, he would be able to form such a big rift with Fang Yingwu, and that all his big plans would be destroyed by Fang Yingwu. At the beginning, he only focused on
Above the third level, I have never looked at Fang Yingwu's level.
Therefore, after learning that Wang Jing was forced to commit suicide by Fang Yingwu, Eunuch Liang could no longer hold back and began to take revenge.
After much deliberation, Eunuch Liang decided to start with the Wanping County government office where Fang Yingwu had experienced. Anyone with a little knowledge of officialdom knows that this kind of government office has the most broken things and loopholes, and it is easiest to detect problems.
Later, Eunuch Liang entrusted the matter to Shi Chun, the commander of Jinyiwei.
This is why Zhang Gui was inexplicably arrested and sent to the Zhenfu Division. It was indeed just because Zhang Gui was Fang Yingwu’s confidant in Wanping County. Outsiders thought that Zhang Gui should be very aware of Fang Yingwu’s dirty information and was the most powerful person.
A good breakthrough point.
It should be said that Eunuch Liang and Mr. Shi's ideas seemed to be correct and were the correct approach under normal circumstances. But others did not know that in fact, most of Fang Yingwu's black hands were done by Wang Zhi, not Zhang Gui.
Team leader Zhang Gui often just acts as an executor who doesn't know why. Even he himself often doesn't know who he is following.
Therefore, if we want to collect real black materials about Fang Yingwu, arresting Zhang Gui is of little use. It is better to arrest Wang Zhi...if we can catch him.
Regardless of gossip, Fang Yingwu has offended Eunuch Liang to this extent, but he is not very aware of it yet. Although he is vaguely aware of it, he does not think too seriously.
If Zhang Gui hadn't been arrested, Fang Yingwu would have bumped into him by chance and pulled out Liang Fang by following the clues and guessing. He would have been kept in the dark until now, and his hatred towards Eunuch Liang would have been innocent.
I don’t know how serious it is.
It would be okay if Liang Fang didn't see Fang Yingwu, he could let go of his thoughts and numb himself. But seeing Fang Yingwu with his own eyes brought back a stream of unpleasant memories, and it would be like an enemy would be extremely jealous when they meet.
If the emperor hadn't been sitting here, Eunuch Liang would have gathered some strong eunuchs to give Fang Yingwu a painful meal. As for the consequences, just beat him and let him breathe first.
