Chapter Thirty-Nine: Into the Tiger's Den
The so-called Ding Wei means that when an official is in power, if he learns the news of the death of his parents, he must immediately resign and return to his hometown to guard the system for 27 months. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIf the world decrees that there is no need to resign, it is called taking love, but it will be regarded as a moral stain.
In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, Ding Wei was really a thing that people loved and hated, and there were many political struggles around Ding Wei.
Two years ago, if it weren't for the former first assistant Zhang Siwei who suddenly encountered Ding Wei, the current first assistant Shen Shixing would not have had a chance to take the position.
According to the rules of the temple, if Ding Wei recovers after the end, he must definitely restore his official position equal to his original official position. Now Zhang Siwei is coming back soon, but where can he find an official position equivalent to the first assistant?
In the operation of government affairs in the court, if there are problems, it is often necessary to find past examples and follow the old stories.
The Ming Dynasty did have a precedent of the first assistant Ding Wei, among which Li Xian of the Chenghua Dynasty and Zhang Juzheng of the current dynasty were both robbed of love and could not be referred to. So the only example that can be used as a reference is Yang Tinghe of the Zhengde Dynasty.
It is said that after Yang Shoufu Ding Wei of the Zhengde Dynasty went home, he was replaced by someone else as the first assistant for two or three years, but after Yang Shoufu came back, he immediately re-became the first assistant.
For today's Shoufu Shen Shixing, this is obviously not an old example that satisfies him, at least Shen Shixing's relatives and friends are very dissatisfied, but there is nothing to be done, it is impossible to think.
You must know that Zhang Siwei and his henchmen are not vegetarians. In the past three years, most of the storms in the temple were manipulated by this group, and their combat effectiveness can be called fierce.
If Shen Shoufu refuses to give way, public opinion will be passive. There are two points that cannot be avoided, one is not to abide by the old rules and break the rules, and the other is to covet power and not go to the stack.
If the other party occupies the commanding heights of morality and public opinion, the consequences are unimaginable. The temple turmoil is sinister, and it is not impossible to be ruined like Zhang Juzheng.
In this context, Fan Hongdao, a little poor showman, suddenly said to Shen Dagongzi that Zhang Siwei's matter can be solved, how can he not attract the attention of Shen Dagongzi?
Of course, after attracting attention, it is questioning, how can a poor Xiucai dare to say anything to solve Zhang Siwei's matter? The conclusion can only be unashamed and pretending to be astonishing.
After Shen Yongmao figured it out, his face immediately returned to calm, and he even felt that his gaffe just now was a little embarrassing. He was actually stimulated by such an unreliable sentence, it must be because of the confusion of concern.
"You deliberately bluff and talk flatteringly, just so that you can meet your father, right? I don't know how many times I've seen such charlatans' tricks. Shen Dagongzi looked very experienced, and said disdainfully.
In his thoughts, Fan Hongdao should have been panicked after his purpose was exposed. But when he saw this, Fan Xiucai chuckled a few times, and his expression seemed to be more disdainful than him.
"Do you think it's rare to have a prime minister?" Fan Hongdao said arrogantly: "If it weren't for Miss Zhang, I wouldn't have thought of stepping into your mansion!"
Without waiting for Shen Yongmao to respond, Fan Hongdao said again: "As for what I said below, it's just because Miss Zhang's family has close contacts with your mansion, and I am worried that your mansion will affect Miss Zhang, so I want to give a few kind words!"
Arrogance! Shen Yongmao's body trembled a little, how long has it been since no one dared to do this in front of him? Did the other party take his identity seriously?
Thinking about it, this person is indeed a madman, and the saints dare to disdain and slander it as a "stepping stone", not to mention others?
"As the saying goes, the prime minister's belly can support the boat, and since he dares to speak here, don't you have the courage to listen to a few words?" Fan Hongdao made a very clumsy agitation plan.
Shen Yongmao took a few deep breaths, and couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, did he really have any idea? I have to say that under the cover of a huge crisis, this is a very tempting idea.
So the eldest prince said: "Then you wait here for the time being." With that, he turned and walked out of the hall, not knowing where he had gone.
After another moment, it was slightly dark.
Fan Hongdao paced back and forth in the hall unhurriedly, he could see through it, and he cowered or was polite and polite, and he was also looked down upon.
Shen Yongmao didn't come back, but a servant came in and said to Fan Hongdao, "My lord is invited." ā
Fan Hongdao followed the servants, walked through the hall as soon as he entered, walked around the corridor a few times, and came to an elegant courtyard with a better scenery than just now.
Fan Hongdao couldn't help laughing at himself, what he did was unpredictable, is this considered a deep "tiger's den"?
On Gao Xuan's bright lobby, candles had already been lit, and seven or eight servants stood under the eaves with their hands down.
Fan Hongdao stood outside the threshold, blocked by the screen, and vaguely saw the figure swaying inside. I guessed in my heart, maybe this is a party?
Shen Yongmao came out and led Fan Hongdao in. Fan Hongdao raised his eyes and swept it, but saw five or six people sitting inside, each with a stretched attitude and a casual posture.
The person who sits on the throne is about fifty years old, with a good appearance, a warm temperament, and an amiable look. At this time, he was wearing a big-sleeved straight jacket and playing with jade Ruyi in his hand.
Although Fan Hongdao has never seen it, it can also be concluded that this person is the first assistant of the court. Whether judging from the location or comparing the appearance with the rumors, this person does not think twice except for Shen Shixing.
Here, as a junior, the eldest prince of Shen only stands in the corner next to him. And Fan Hongdao, an uninvited guest with a humble status, could only stand behind Shen Yongmao and wait.
Shen Yongmao couldn't interject casually, and he didn't introduce Fan Hongdao out at this time, so Fan Hongdao didn't bother to go up to meet him, and he could only be a little transparent with no sense of existence for the time being.
He took the opportunity to look at others, and found that the existing guests were still wearing official robes and official uniforms, so Fan Hongdao could conclude that eighty percent of the people present were court officials.
Judging from the posture and atmosphere of the people at the scene, this party is very informal and does not feel unfamiliar, so everyone present must be relatives and friends of Shoufu Shen Shixing.
Fan Hongdao suddenly realized why Shen Yongmao was absent-minded when he met him before. The mind of the eldest prince who dares to love Shen is here, so he has a completely "send it away as soon as possible" attitude towards himself.
It's not strange to say that Shen Yongmao is just a newcomer to the officialdom who has not been in the middle of the sergeant for a long time, and it is estimated that he has some expressiveness and enthusiasm, hoping to brush up his presence on various occasions.
The officials who can enter Shoufu's house and participate in such a gathering are definitely not small people, and they are all people who have a close relationship with Shen Shoufu.
is also a daily social interaction, of course Shen Dagongzi likes to participate in such occasions, and it is good to show his face casually, and he definitely does not want to waste time on the task of "meeting the idler Fan Chacha".
It can also be regarded as an opportunity for a long insight, Fan Hongdao took his mind back and listened carefully to the discussion of everyone present.
