All kinds of good things were said by Eunuch Xiao Wang, and Fan Hongdao actually felt speechless, which made Fan Hongdao feel very weird. However, what Eunuch Wang said seems to have a point. If you speak by yourself, you won't be able to elevate yourself unscrupulously, and your power will naturally be a little less.

This dead eunuch is also a talent, what is his name? Wang An Fan Hongdao thought of this seemingly ordinary name again, and suddenly some memories flashed.

Eunuchs who can make themselves remember are generally not small characters! After thinking hard, Fan Hongdao finally remembered what kind of character Wang An was! In fact, Wang An didn't seem to be so well-known in history, and ordinary people had never heard of such a eunuch, but he had a famous enemy, that is, the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, one of the three powerful eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty!

Before the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, Wang An was the number one eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, and even Wei Zhongxian himself relied on Wang An to have a chance to make a fortune. However, in the early years of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian instructed his cronies to frame Wang An, causing Wang An to be reprimanded, and then Wei Zhongxian killed Wang An.

After recalling the killing, Fan Hongdao put away his careless attitude, daring to love that this little eunuch Wang is also a big man after thirty years, and he can't be treated casually as a small person. Thinking about it again, with the future eunuch boss Chen Ju Chen Gonggong as his godfather, and the eunuch Xiao Wang himself has some ability, it is not surprising that he can make a career.

On the other side, Shen Li, Shen Shangshu, is an upright person, and he is the official residence and the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, and is the leader of the Qingliu recognized by the current imperial court. His face is very large, only slightly worse than that of the Cabinet Minister.

But today, in front of thousands of people, Shen Shangshu was pointed at his nose and sprayed wildly by a little eunuch who was less than twenty. It stands to reason that any reader who sees such a scene will be filled with righteous indignation.

But among the thousands of scholars present today, none of them stood up for Shen Shangshu, and even stood behind the eunuch, that is, opposite Shen Shangshu.

Shen Shangshu's face was very ugly, how could he have encountered such humiliation in recent years?

Whether the little eunuch named Wang An sprayed was right or not, Shen Shangshu already had a judgment in his heart. Although he had not seen the truth and no one had explained the inside story to him, he could also deduce that what the little eunuch said was true.

Because none of the thousands of national eunuchs present came out to refute the little eunuch, and none of them helped him defend the book of the Ministry of Rites. This is enough to show that what the little eunuch said is true.

It seems that their Ministry of Rites did do those stupid things, their Ministry of Rites did collude with the traitors of the Guozijian to frame Fan Hongdao and expel Fan Hongdao; the officials and soldiers borrowed by the Ministry of Rites did fight in the Guozijian and beat up the people who kindly gave the umbrella to the people; and their Ministry of Rites did indiscriminately issue an order that conflicted with the Ministry of Officials, so that everyone saw the joke.

Looking at the thousands of scholars standing opposite him, Shen Shangshu, who was familiar with the classics, suddenly remembered a sentence from Yasheng Mencius: "The righteous are more helpful and the unrighteous are less helpful." With so many people on the other side of him, if there was no call for justice, how could they all show solidarity with Fan Hongdao?

At this time, Shi Xizhi, a good classmate of the Ming Dynasty, walked out and said to Shen Shangshu impassionedly and extremely hard: "Seeing what happened to classmate Fan, my generation is full of righteous indignation and agitation! Although my generation is soft-spoken, today we still have the courage to gather here and vow to seek justice for Fan! I don't believe it, there is no justice in this world!"

Shi Xizhi's words were said on behalf of the thousands of prisoners behind him, and they were immediately echoed by everyone, and one after another applauded one after another.

Shen Shangshu broke the silence, he knew that he couldn't keep speaking, he always had to say something. So he gave a standard answer that could not be more standard: "Please rest easy, after the official returns to the ministry, he will definitely investigate and understand as soon as possible, if there are treacherous people, he will not be spared, and then publicize it!"

Someone in the crowd shouted: "The matter is so clear, the Ministry of Rites has colluded with the prison to do evil, what else does it need to investigate? Could it be that you don't know anything about it?"

Shen Shangshu replied: "This official doesn't know, it's just the first time I've heard about it, so I have to go back to investigate and verify!"

Several people in the crowd laughed, "It's just a joke! The Ministry of Rites made such a big move that it almost turned over the Guozijian, and then the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites said that he didn't know about it!

Shen Shangshu finally realized that it was even more terrible, the Ministry of Rites had done so many bad things, but it all happened without the knowledge of him, the Ministry of Rites. This is enough to show that there must be a conspiracy in it!

At this moment, Shen Shangshu thought of today's abnormal ritual Shi Lang Yu Kong Biao, in the entire Ministry of Rites, in addition to his own main hall Shangshu, the only person who can do such things as commanding the national eunuch and removing the reputation of the prison is Yu Kong Biao, the ritual Si Lang, right?

In the six departments of the Ming Dynasty, the power structure is like this: the person with the greatest real power is the second-grade Shangshu of the main hall, and the most powerful person in addition to the Shangshu is not the third-grade squire, but the Langzhong who is critical to each division.

For example, in the Ministry of Officials, the most powerful must be the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and the second most powerful is the Wenxuan Shilang, who is responsible for the allocation of official positions. Another example is the issue of the selection of officials, which is often decided after a meeting between the Bunxuan Shilang and the official secretary. However, the servant of the ministry can often only play the role of a praise and suggestion, and the actual power of speech may not be as good as that of the anthology Shilang who is in charge of the business.

In terms of the Ministry of Rites, the Department of Ceremonies is the most important department of the Ministry of Rites, and Yu Kongbiao is of course one of the most powerful people in the Ministry of Rites. The Ritual Department is in charge of school affairs, so as long as the affairs reported by Guozijian are not particularly important, Yu Kongbiao can naturally decide in a word.

So when Shen Shangshu realized that he was being hidden, he immediately thought of Yu Kongbiao, and only Yu Kongbiao had the ability to directly command the Guozijian business without reporting himself. Coupled with today's situation that Yu Kong Biao shirked left and right and refused to appear, Shen Shangshu smelled a strong smell of conspiracy.

Now Shen Shangshu has sorted out the context of the conspiracy in his heart - someone has used the Ministry of Rites to do a bunch of morally untenable and rotten things, and after arousing the anger of the heavens, he will push himself out of the top tank, and he is unavoidable as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the responsibility cannot be shirked.

The core figure of the whole conspiracy is probably Fan Hongdao, who used Fan Hongdao to create all kinds of pathos in the early stage, and later took advantage of the situation to beat everyone who stood on the opposite side of Fan Hongdao into villains. As for the purpose of the conspiracy, it doesn't make sense to think about it now.
