Wang Zhi, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, was the director of the West Factory. What he did was beyond your expectation.
Eunuch Wang Zhi is really a very interesting guy. Later generations listed him among the eunuchs in power, such as Liu Jin, Wang Zhen, Wei Zhongxian and so on. But unlike them, Wang Zhi was able to spend his whole life safely away from the power center. Even after changing the throne and facing fierce liquidation, he was still blessed by the imperial power and died in Nanjing. In many film and television works, it is probably not an exaggeration to describe the eunuch image of the Ming Dynasty as a man in black. ? In Jet Li's martial arts movie "flying swords of dragon gate", Tian Yu, the vicious west factory owner, is an allusion to Wang Zhi. What kind of person is he, as described in the film and television drama? Wang Zhi, this guy, has done many great things. He participated in several famous foreign wars during Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty, and the details of historical materials also proved that he really had the ability to lead the army independently. But we won't talk about those big things today. Let's take a look at this Wang Zhi's character from the following little things. 1, Wang Lin and Wang Zhi became directors of the West Factory, but they never took bribes, which is also well known to the world. Therefore, officials at all levels who deal with him in business every day are trying to please him in words and attitudes. Just, all this curry favor with, did not fall any benefits, and this Wang Lin, as a small officer of the science and technology, Wang Zhi went in and out of his office several times, and only handled it as usual. Wang Zhi this guy is really a mind's eye, want to give him a chance to try, to find a few people, deliberately put out words, said the people in the factory are not satisfied with wang Lin. After confirming that Wang Lin received the news, Wang Zhi pretended to run to him again to see how he reacted. As usual, Wang Lin is still a dead face and an adjutant. Wang Zhi saw him like this, but he respected him, and returned the favor with a gift. ? 2. Zan Yang Jizong. During Wang Zhi's tenure as director of the West Factory, spies spread all over the world to inspect the achievements of local officials. When local officials returned to Beijing to deliver letters, Ming Xianzong asked Wang Zhi who had the best local official voice. When Wang Zhi came back, only Yang Jizong, the magistrate of Jiaxing, was the most honest. Later, sure enough, Yang Jizong was transferred and promoted. During this period, Wang Zhi admired him and visited him many times, but Yang Jizong declined politely for various reasons. Later, Yang Jizong returned to his hometown to pay homage to his mother for her funeral. Wang Zhi found out about it and specially arranged a trip to pay his respects. When he reached a place far away from Yang Jizong's residence, he stopped his chariot and horse, ordered his followers to wait, and walked alone to pay homage. After the funeral, Wang Zhi looked at Yang Jizong and said, "I have heard a lot about Yang Gong, but I just met him today. Yang Gong looks really special. " Yang Jizong replied coldly: "Jizong's looks are all made by his parents. Whether handsome or ugly, it hurts his limbs and violates ethics." I dare not do anything. " Hearing these words, Wang Zhi could only be silent. They sat in silence for a while, and Wang Zhi quietly left. Yang Jizong, what does this mean? This is Wang Zhi's face to face. Wang Zhi was a eunuch, so he sarcastically said that it was against human relations to mutilate his limbs. In this case, to be fair, if we put aside the preset position, according to the current situation, not to mention that Wang Zhi was too generous in Yang Jizong's promotion, saying that people came all the way to express their condolences may be justified. In order to clear the reputation of collaborating with eunuchs, you are rational to treat him like this. Who is above everything else and who is the private name, Yang Jizong, does your conscience really hurt? 3. After Sun Bo and Wang Zhi took office as the director of the West Factory, they quickly dealt with several major cases of official dereliction of duty, violation of law and discipline, corruption and bribery. Public opinion inside and outside the government was in an uproar, and of course they were all one-sided accusations. How can an official want to be supervised and investigated, right? A man named Sun Bo jumped out and read a book, saying, "The tea-masters and odd sects who work in the East and West Factories are all humble servants, and the court ministers are the pillars of the country. Is the minister's credibility not as good as these humble servants? Now, these humble officers specialize in collecting daily trivia to discredit the minister. Even if it is for the public interest, it is not necessarily a good thing. If there is a framed act, the damage will be too great, so I think it is better to cancel the East and West Factory. " ? Ming Xianzong saw these words, of course, not to ignore, just puzzling, said is a what? Hearing this, Wang Zhi was very angry, so he called Sun Bo and they argued face to face. Wang Zhi took out the major case of the West Factory and questioned whether Sun Bo was unfair. Sun Bo, avoiding talking about the case itself, eloquently said that his pillar was humble and tossed and turned. After all, this Sun Bo just wants to emphasize the superiority of officials and ministers, doesn't he? Looking at Sun Bo in high spirits, he became more and more excited as he talked. Wang Zhi was so angry that he left, thinking it was wrong. This is his own office, so we should let him go, bite the bullet and go back and invite cheerful Sun Bo to go with us. Later, Wang Zhi was appointed as the army supervisor, and he specifically asked for the appointment of Sun Bo as the army military inspector general. Everyone thinks that Wang Zhi will even lynch this Sun Bo. Once or twice, every time Wang Zhi served as a prison army, he would take Sun Bo with him and watch him come back alive. His ministers didn't quite understand what Wang Zhi was going to do. ? Until the 16th year of Chenghua, Sun Bo participated in the famous World War I of Weining Haizi led by Wang Yue and Wang Zhi in the Ming Dynasty, all the way to Wang Ting, Mongolia. This is a rare victory. Sun Bo completely believed in Wang Zhi, but he refused to accept it. The truth is here. After the war, Sun Bo took the initiative to write a letter praising Wang Zhi. At this time, his ministers understood Wang Zhi's intention. The above three events are clearly recorded in historical materials. Historically, the evaluation of Wang Zhi is always full of words such as arrogance and arrogance. From the above three little things, everyone should make their own judgment, which is clear at a glance.
