Fortune-teller Wei Zhongxian _ Who is Fortune-teller Wei Zhongxian?

< Continuously promoted to the third level > Where are the allusions?

In the Ming Dynasty, there was an only son of a rich man named ZhangHaoGu in Jinan. He has been spoiled since he was a child. He knows nothing and can't write. One day, a fortune teller said to him, "Hurry to Beijing to catch the exam, and I guarantee that you will get the top three." Play a joke on him and he will take it seriously. When he rushed to Beijing to catch the exam, the exam had already started and the door was closed. At this time, Wei Zhongxian was patrolling the night with a large group of people outside when he suddenly bumped into Wei Zhongxian's horse head. Wei Zhongxian was a eunuch at that time, but he was the most powerful man, and the emperor was very fatuous. Wei Zhongxian asked him what you were doing, and he said that I came to Beijing for the exam, and I could get the top three. Wei Zhongxian a listen to this boy tone is very big, how can you sit in the top three, now you can't even enter the examination room. ZhangHaoGu said, if I don't have the real skill, how dare I come all the way, and now I'm here! Wei Zhongxian thought, if this man talks big, I will expose him. He took his business card and had him sent to the examination room. The examiner misunderstood the business card and thought that Wei Zhongxian sent someone in the middle of the night. It must be either his relatives or his confidants. What should I do? He must take the exam, and he must be admitted. See if he doesn't know what to do with the problem, just help him secretly. After the list was published, the examiner held a discussion. The first place was not good, too conspicuous, so he was given the second place. After winning the second place, he bought a big gift and ran to give it to Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian thought, this man is really something. He is really a useful person in the future, so he stayed and invited him to drink and eat, and then sent him out. This incident surprised the civil and military officials in Beijing, thinking that Wei Zhongxian invited him to dinner himself. Everyone else gave him gifts, and Wei Zhongxian delivered them himself. This kind of face is rare, so these court officials recommended him to the Hanlin Academy. In fact, he didn't know a word when he went to the academician courtyard. Everyone knows that he is an idiot who knows nothing, but others know his background and dare not sell it. Later, when Wei Zhongxian's birthday arrived, he watched others give gifts. He also wants to give gifts. What should he give? The most elegant thing is to send couplets, so he bought a framed white paper and asked someone to help him write it. I asked Hanlin to help him write it, but I didn't want to help. There was a man who didn't say anything, but deliberately wanted to see his jokes, so he came to help him write those words that scolded Wei Zhongxian for trying to usurp power. I don't know about this ZhangHaoGu, so I'm happy to send it up. When Wei Zhongxian saw that it was a couplet, he immediately ordered it to be hung. He was busy and didn't watch it. Other officials turned pale with fear when they saw the couplets, but they were afraid to speak. As a result, after receiving the couplets, Wei Zhongxian put them in the warehouse, but he didn't actually read them himself. Soon, Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, and Wei Zhongxian sought power and usurped the throne. He died and killed all Wei Zhongxian's party members. Some people say that ZhangHaoGu is also his henchmen. At that time, many people put in a good word for him, saying that Wei Zhongxian celebrated his birthday the year before last. He sent a pair of couplets to scold Wei Zhongxian. This kind of person is loyal and upright. Emperor Chongzhen thought that it was time to employ people. So, bring him in, and then he will be promoted to the third level.
