Of course Lu Wan was aware of his situation. On the day he learned that Jiang Bin had been arrested, he hurried to the west of the city to meet Wang Yuan.
This guy knew that he was alone, and because he betrayed his benefactor and colluded with the generals, he was already hated to death by the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty. So, while relying on Jiang Bin, he also deliberately made friends with Wang Yuan, Qian Ning, Zhang Yong and other close officials. That's it.
Zang Xian, the head of the Jiaofang Division, and the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, all rushed to give away the money with shy faces.
However, Qian Ning was dead, Zang Xian was finished, Jiang Bin was in prison, and Zhang Yong didn't want to see him, so Lu Wan could only run to Wang Yuan for help.
After all, Lu Wan cooperated extremely well with Wang Yuan when it came to opening up the sea. When it came to the appointment and dismissal of officials in Zhejiang, Wang Yuan did whatever he said, and Lu Wan never said "no".
On the first day I went there, Wang Yuan was not at home and was kept in a leopard room by the emperor.
The next day, Wang Yuan caught wind and cold and was bedridden, unable to see guests.
On the third day, Wang Yuan's condition worsened, and the disciple asked Lu Wan to come back another day.
On the fourth day... there was no fourth day, Lu Wan was arrested. He was charged with colluding with the party and intending to rebel. He was also suspected of secretly communicating with Prince Ning.
Wang Yuan was recuperating at home when a servant suddenly came to report: "Sir, Yuma Jiangu Dayong sent someone to see you."
"Invite him in." Wang Yuan recovered instantly.
Yang Tinghe wanted to kill Wang Qiong, Lu Wan, and Zhang Yong also wanted to kill Gu Dayong.
The Chief Ceremony Supervisor and the Royal Horse Supervisor are born to be enemies and mortal enemies. The most intuitive one is the East Factory and the West Factory. The Si Li Supervisor oversees the East Factory, and the Royal Horse Supervisor oversees the West Factory. How can they not start a fight?
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were only two admirals in Xichang. One was Wang Zhi, the founder of Xichang, and the other was Gu Dayong.
When Liu Jin took power, he supervised the East Factory and the West Factory at the same time. As a result, the East and West factories were trying to undermine each other, and nothing could be done. Liu Jin was so angry that he set up an internal factory by himself.
After the fall of Liu Jin, the inner factory and the west factory were abolished at the same time.
Although the West Factory is gone, the struggle between the Royal Horse Supervisor and the Si Li Supervisor is still there. The Si Li Supervisor is equivalent to the cabinet of the inner dynasty, and the Royal Horse Supervisor is equivalent to the Ministry of War of the inner dynasty. The struggle between Yang Tinghe in the cabinet and Wang Qiong in the Ministry of War directly reflects
Go to the ceremonial supervisor and the royal horse supervisor.
Gu Dayong represents the Royal Horse Supervisor, Jiang Bin represents the Fifth Army Governor's Office, and Wang Qiong represents the Ministry of War. These are the three major military institutions of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Houzhao likes to fight, so the three parties naturally unite, and there must be collusion between them.
Jiang Bin is finished, Yang Tinghe wants to clean up the military department, and Zhang Yong naturally wants to clean up the imperial horse supervisor.
"Wang Shilang, please save my father's life!" A young eunuch rushed forward and knelt down, shouting for help.
Wang Yuan said: "Get up. How is Superintendent Gu's situation now?"
The young eunuch replied: "Dad lives in the Zhongjun Camp (one of the six camps of the Leopard House). He dare not go out and cannot meet His Majesty."
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I happen to have a military meeting to report to Your Majesty, and I will meet the Holy One together with Superintendent Gu."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Wang, for saving your life." The little eunuch kowtowed quickly. He is Gu Dayong's godson. If his adoptive father criticized him, the little eunuch would also end badly.
Wang Yuan went straight to the Central Military Camp, and Gu Dayong was inexplicably moved.
With tears streaming down his face, he held Wang Yuan's hands and said, "Wang Shilang, don't say anything. I, Gu Si, will remember this kindness in times of need for the rest of my life. From now on, no matter whether we have to go through fire or water, we will never frown!"
"Superintendent Gu's words are serious, let's go and meet the Holy Spirit to discuss military affairs." Wang Yuan said with a smile.
Wang Yuan ignored the eunuch's oaths and oaths, and anyone who believed them was a fool.
But Gu Dayong must be kept, otherwise Zhang Yong's family may become the dominant one, and he may become another Liu Jin. Moreover, Zhang Yong has colluded with Yang Tinghe. Once Zhang Yong dominates the internal prison, Yang Tinghe will be able to fly.
Due to Jiang Bin's rise to power, Gu Dayong's presence has been very low in recent years. After all, the emperor came to Jiang Bin to discuss military affairs, and the eunuchs and eunuchs became mere decorations. Zhang Yong had already obtained the power of writing, and it would be too easy to kill Gu Dayong.
Even if Gu Dayong is retained, it will be difficult to compete with Zhang Yong in the future. Gu Dayong's influence in the emperor's heart must be increased.
Gu Dayong said: "Please give Wang Shilang a lesson on how to discuss military matters with His Majesty."
Wang Yuan handed Gu Da a few pieces of paper and muttered a few words, and so on.
Gu Dayong understood instantly, and bowed his hands repeatedly: "I won't say thank you for your kindness, and you will be rewarded in the future!"
Wang Yuan took Gu Dayong straight into the Leopard Room, but was stopped by the eunuch on duty: "Your Majesty is in poor health and doesn't want to see anyone."
Wang Yuan sneered: "Isn't Du Gong Zhang too anxious? He is busy blocking China and foreign countries?"
The eunuch on duty remained silent, apparently acquiescing that he was Zhang Yong's confidant.
"Very good." Wang Yuan smiled even brighter.
The eunuch could prevent Wang Yuan from seeing the emperor, but he could not stop Wang Yuan from walking in the leopard room because the imperial leopard medal was hung on Wang Yuan's waist.
Immediately, Wang Yuan led Gu Dayong on the only way back to the palace from the Nanyuan study room.
It started to snow lightly in the sky, and the two of them stood quietly by the roadside. After a while, their clothes were completely soaked.
A eunuch had gone to spread the news. When Zhang Yong learned about it, he said angrily: "This Wang Ruoxu is determined to go against our family! Let him go to see your majesty. He can be blocked for a while, but he can't block your majesty for a lifetime."
I don’t see him.”
With Wang Yuan's protection, Gu Dayong would definitely not be able to get rid of him. Zhang Yong knew this very well.
But this resentment must be vented, and Zhang Yong has already thought of an idea. That is to throw Zhu Ying, the eunuch in charge of the East Factory, to Nanyang Admiral of the Navy. This was a joke made by the emperor during his southern tour of Hangzhou, and now Zhang Yong is fully capable of fulfilling it.
Zhu Ying had a close personal relationship with Wang Yuan, and it was by following Wang Yuan in the war that he got up step by step.
As long as Zhu Ying is squeezed out, Zhang Yong can completely control Dongchang, cut off Wang Yuan's wings, and vent his grievances. This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone.
It's just that this move played into Wang Yuan's heart.
Wang Yuan was still worried that the Qiantang Navy was too far away and the court could not control it. Now that a well-connected eunuch came to serve as an admiral, Wang Yuan would be able to know the specific news about Nanyang at any time. He should be grateful to Zhang Yongcai, who was always willing to help others.
Wang Yuan and Gu Dayong stood by the road for an hour, and finally a eunuch took them to see the emperor.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and waved: "Erlang, come here quickly. I have learned a few more words in Taixi. I also know that there is a great sage in Taixi who asked me to get Du Dawen's words. This man's knowledge is very similar to Erlang's physics."
"
"Come and get Da Wen's Ci?" Wang Yuan was confused.
Camillo, an Italian missionary, is currently serving as a doctor of engraving in Qintianjian, that is, the administrator of the royal clocks of the Ming Dynasty. He explained: "Nadu Dawenci is a famous painter in the West. He is a court painter in Milan and is erudite.
He is versatile and proficient in various subjects."
Wang Yuan still didn't understand and asked: "What famous paintings does he have?"
Camillo said: "He is most famous for the murals he created in the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. Well, the name of the mural can be translated as 'The Last Supper'."
Holy shit, Leonardo da Vinci?
Damn it, "Lailadu·Dawen Ci"!
Neither Camilo nor Wang Yuan knew that just last summer, Leonardo da Vinci passed away suddenly, and the soul of a generation of sages returned to heaven.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and chatted for a while, then suddenly noticed Gu Dayong and said with a smile: "Dayong is here too?"
Gu Dayong wanted to cry. He was so favored back then and was one of the "Eight Tigers". When Zhu Houzhao rebuilt Xichang, he also appointed Gu Dayong as the governor of Xichang, and he has been in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor ever since.
But the former governor of the West Factory, a dignified eunuch and eunuch, had not seen the emperor for two or three years.
Just because the Royal Horse Supervisor was in charge of the military, and when encountering military problems, Zhu Houzhao only discussed it with Jiang Bin, and Gu Dayong completely became Jiang Bin's horse boy.
"I've seen Long Live Lord!" Gu Dayong cried and kowtowed, and even called Long Live Lord.
Zhu Houzhao said: "Get up."
Wang Yuan did not sue Zhang Yong for blocking China and foreign countries. Such words were useless, but would make the emperor feel resentful. Only when Zhang Yong fell out of favor, and then told what happened today, could it be considered an effective attack.
Wang Yuan said sternly: "Your Majesty ordered me to appease the army a few days ago, and the brave battalion who were on duty for training were wandering around in the Baofang school grounds. There were some who played dice, some played Cuju, and even some drank. I killed them on the spot.
Killed a few drunken soldiers, and then ordered the troops and found out that ten more people had not arrived. The Baofang soldiers have been corrupted here. How can I follow His Majesty in fighting in the future?"
"Is this happening?" Zhu Houzhao yelled angrily, "Jiang Bin really deserves to die!"
Gu Dayong lay on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, the Central Military Camp commanded by the Royal Horse Supervisor was also led badly by Jiang Bin, a traitor. The atmosphere in the army was deteriorating, and I had long wanted to report it to Your Majesty, but Jiang Bin took advantage of it.
The new army in the Leopard Fang was your Majesty's hard work, and I couldn't bear to see it rotten, so I visited many people who managed the army, and asked Wang Shilang for advice, and finally wrote a "Simplified Military Training System".
"
Accompanying the eunuch, he presented the "Simplified Military Training System" to the emperor.
After Zhu Houzhao read it roughly, he praised: "You are thoughtful. From now on, you will supervise the training of the Sixth Battalion of the New Army, but the training and the management of military supplies are separated, and the power of managing the military is given to the rear army governor's office."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gu Dayong was ecstatic. Not only would he not fall, he would also get the right to train with the Sixth Battalion of the New Army, and he would reach the top of his life again.
