Chapter 71 Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi!
Chang Feng returned to Wynn's house.

Fatty Xu, Shi Wenyi and others are busy hanging red silk and red belts.

Chang Feng asked, "Where is Mr. Liu?"

Fatty Xu replied: "Eunuch Liu is in the pigeon house in the backyard."

When Chang Feng came to the pigeon house, he happened to see Liu Jin releasing a carrier pigeon.

Chang Feng said: "Eunuch Liu, I thought about it. I borrowed Eunuch Wynn's house as a new house. You should send him a letter."

Liu Jin smiled and said, "The carrier pigeon I let fly just now has the news of your marriage tied to its leg."

"There is also news that the prince will get married on the 28th of the first lunar month."

"The old man received these two news in Nanjing, so he might be so happy."

At the same time, Nanjing Xiaoling Mausoleum is two thousand miles away.In a dilapidated house, an old man, a young man, and a doll are sitting and eating.

The old man is Wynn, and the doll is Tangtang.

The young man looked 26 and seven years old.Dressed in white, he behaves elegantly, with fluttering belts.

This handsome young man in white is Wang Zhi, a generation of powerful officials who once overshadowed the sky with one hand in the court!

In the 12th year of Chenghua, Wang Zhi established the West Factory, "killed the demon fox", won the holy favor, and was only 16 years old when he was in power.

Wang Zhi poured a glass of wine for Huai En, and said with emotion: "Who would have thought that the world's most traitorous eunuch and the world's most virtuous eunuch would meet in Xiaoling because they were demoted."

"Who would have thought that on this early spring night in Jinling, where the moon is sparse and the magpies fly south, two former enemies would have a drink and talk?"

Huai En said with a smile: "You are the most treacherous eunuch in the world, but I can't afford the word 'virtuous eunuch'."

In Wang Zhi's eyes, a look of pride suddenly flashed: "But, I, the number one treacherous eunuch, led the army to conquer the Jurchens three times and the Tatars twice. Five battles and five victories!"

"It's me, a treacherous eunuch, who promoted Wang Yue, the No.1 general of the Chenghua Dynasty!"

"It was me, a treacherous eunuch, who saved the famous official Qin Hong!"

"It's me, a treacherous eunuch, a corporal who is respectful and worthy, and visits the thatched cottage three times. I promoted Yang Jizong, the most upright official in the world!"

Wynn restrained his smile and was at a loss for words.Although he is a mortal enemy, he knows that what Wang Zhi said just now is true.

Humans are not black and white.

The bastard things Wang Zhi did when he was in power are too numerous to record in the official and unofficial histories.But his achievements are rarely mentioned.

Wang Zhi has outstanding military talents.He conquered the Jurchen three times, causing the Jurchen to "wash her face with tears when she heard that Wang Gonggong came, and waited to be killed".

He conquered Tatar twice, and led his cavalry to sneak into the hinterland of the grassland to attack the Tatar tribe.Huo Qubing, who can be called a trumpet.

Wang Zhi promoted and reused Wang Yue.Wang Yue was recommended to be the first Tripartite Commander of the Ming Dynasty.During the period when Wang Yue was in charge of the fortification and defense, the foreigners dared not covet him.

Wang Yue also became the only civil servant in the Ming Dynasty who was knighted for military service three times, the other two being Wang Ji and the later Wang Yangming.

After Wang Zhi lost power and was demoted, Wang Yue was also dismissed from office.

Corporal Wang Zhilixian.He learned that Yang Jizong, the magistrate of Jiaxing, was a great talent in politics, and he was a clean and honest official.As the governor of Xichang, he went to visit in person.

Yang Jizong was rebellious and arrogant, and he didn't want to make friends with eunuchs.Wang Zhi went there three times in a row, but all of them were rejected.

With Wang Zhi's position, if he took revenge and took personal revenge, Yang Jizong's official role would definitely end.

But instead of revenge, Wang Zhi vigorously recommended Yang Jizong in front of Emperor Chenghua.

Yang Jizong was exceptionally promoted to inspector of Zhejiang, and then governor of Yunnan.Later, he was honored as "the most honest official in the world" by the world.

The famous official Qin Hong impeached Wang Zhi for several years.Wang Zhi's crimes were listed in memorials almost every month.

However, when Qin Hong was slandered by King Qingcheng and sent to prison.It was Wang Zhi who avenged his grievances with virtue, used Xichang's power, found evidence, and cleared Qin Hong of his guilt.

It is said that after Qin Hong was restored to his post, Wang Zhi went to Emperor Chenghua with a smile on his face, and praised Qin Hong as the most capable official in the frontiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Embarrassed, Emperor Chenghua took out a memorial from his sleeve—it was the memorial to the impeachment of Wang Zhi that Qin Hong had just presented.

Wang Zhi only said one sentence: "You don't avoid enemies if you give virtue."

Counting all these incidents and incidents in detail, who can say that Wang Zhi is a person covered in pitch black, not a little white?

There was silence at the dinner table.

Tangtang broke the silence. She threw a prawn into her mouth, chewed and said, "Although I don't understand what Brother Wang said, it sounds very powerful."

Wang Zhi touched Tangtang's little head.

Wynn said: "But you can't deny it. During the period when you were in power, you persecuted hundreds of Zhongliang people."

Wang Zhi confronted: "In your opinion, they are loyal and good. In my opinion, they are corrupt scholars!"

Huai En said: "Could it be that Liu Daxia is also a rotten Confucian?"

Wang Zhi said angrily: "He is not a rotten Confucian, he has a great talent in politics. But he is the number one bastard in Tianzi! Did he burn the blueprint of Zheng He's treasure ship?"

"If the blueprint is still there, I can convince the emperor to build an invincible navy. How can there be Japanese plagues on the southeast coast?"

Wynn said: "What about Ma Wensheng? He is also a bastard? He was dismissed for the first time. Did you impeach him?"

Wang Zhi smiled slyly: "Ma Wensheng is indeed a military genius."

"I joined him and urged the emperor to dismiss him from office to sharpen his will. Forget it, I will stop pretending. I joined him purely because he had a bad temper with me."

"This is the first time I have seen a donkey who is more stubborn than me! In the court, I can only keep one with him."

After finishing speaking, Wang Zhi poured himself a glass and drank it all down: "Today's wine is a little bit like cooking wine with green plums to talk about heroes."

Huai En said with a smile: "We are all demoted Si Xiang Fengyu now, and the grievances and grievances in the court are all fleeting."

Wang Zhi shook his head: "You were demoted for a while. I was demoted for a lifetime."

"Just those idiots Shang Ming and the Wan family brothers. Can they beat the crown prince?"

"Sooner or later, there will be a day when you will return to Beijing and serve as the interior minister."

Wynn said: "Well, then I will lend you a good word."

Wang Zhi suddenly knelt down for Wynn.

Wynn asked, "what are you doing?"

Wang Zhi said: "In my whole life, I have only been sorry to one person, and that is Wang Yue. He was implicated by me and lost his official position."

"Wang Yue is handsome, you know it very well. I beg you, when you return to Beijing to take power, re-enable Wang Yue for Daming."

Wynn said: "get up quickly. I promise you. "

After Wang Zhi got up, he drank more than ten cups in a row, his face was drunk.

Wang Zhi laughed wildly and said: "I was demoted because I did something that I would never do if I made papers about Sange Lao, Shang Ming, Liang Fang, Li Zixing, the three brothers of the Wan family, and you Huai En."

"You guys were jealous, so you teamed up and tricked me together."

After venting, Wang Zhi raised his glass to the bright moon in the sky, and sang generously: "When will the bright moon appear? Ask the blue sky for wine. I don't know the palace in the sky. What year is it?"

"I want to go back by the wind, but I'm afraid that Qionglou Yuyu will be too cold on the heights. Dance to find out the shadows, so it seems to be in the world."

A gust of warm wind of early spring in the south of the Yangtze River blew by, and the young Wang Zhi fluttered in white clothes, as if insane.
