"The Fourteenth Year of Chenghua" mainly tells the story that Tang Fan, a six-product pusher, and Sui Zhou, a Royal Guards, jointly solved the case, and Wang Zhi, the director of Aojiao West Factory, was also an indispensable member of their men's team. It is understood that there were two people named Wang Zhi in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Who does Wang Zhi refer to in the 14th year of Chenghua?
There were two famous Wang Zhi in the Ming Dynasty. One of them was a famous maritime businessman in the Ming Dynasty, and later turned to be a pirate. Obviously, Wang Zhi, who has been in Chenghua for fourteen years, has nothing to do with this Wang Zhi. In fact, the prototype of Wang Zhi in the 14th year of Chenghua is Wang Zhi, the pioneer of the West Factory in the Ming Dynasty.
As we all know, the eunuchs in power in the Ming Dynasty were very serious. The East Factory and the West Factory are competitors, and Wang Zhi is the founder of the West Factory. He lived in the palace since he was a child, and he was exposed to intrigue and intrigue in the palace, so he also developed a cunning and intelligent character. He was good at pleasing rulers, and later he was appreciated by Ming Xianzong and Wan Guifei, and his position in the palace soared.
In the 13th year of Chenghua, in order to maintain the supremacy of imperial power, Ming Xianzong set up the West Factory and made Wang Zhi the head of the West Factory. The purpose of the West Factory is to contain courtiers. Because Wang Zhi was inspired by the emperor, he dared to abuse cruel and cruel laws to deal with courtiers who broke the law. For a time, the existence of the West Factory made all courtiers tremble with fear, and the West Factory was in a good mood.
However, Wang Zhi is not always valued by Ming Xianzong. He was sent by Ming Xianzong to guard Liaodong, and gradually fell out of favor because he was far away from the power center. Later, he was framed and impeached by the East Factory and was eventually demoted. Since then, he has disappeared from history. No one knows whether he is alive or dead.
