Chapter 3: Beaten
Fu Qianqian listened silently to this, and couldn't help but be shocked. When today's son likes Longyang, it is a secret fact among the courtiers, and the emperor himself is secretive about it. I don't know how it spread to the people, and I was arrested by Lu Wenyuan to make a big fuss.
Fu Qian raised his head to steal a look at the emperor's face, and sure enough, it was a pair of dragon eyebrows, and the two phoenixes were stunned, and they hurriedly reached out to pull the hem of Lu Wenyuan's clothes and reminded him to stop.
Who knows that Lu Wenyuan has an upright temperament, he has heard that the current emperor ignores the government and abandons the early dynasty, and this time on the way to Beijing, he saw starvation all over the way and the national fortune was depressed, which really hurt in his eyes and heart. Although he crossed over here by accident, but when he first studied, he admired the most those loyal ministers who saved the country in danger and supported the government, and now that he has become an official, Lu Wenyuan naturally wants to do his part for the country and the people, and now he advises the emperor to retreat: "Weichen knows that the emperor does not like Longyang, but the people in this world are born, and the mouth of the world can only be blocked by standing behind." Otherwise, this rumor will spread more and more widely, which will not only make the people's hearts unstable, but will also give the traitors an opportunity to take advantage of. ”
Zhu Shiyang was extremely angry, only saying that this person had a sharp mouth, not only used the rumors in the market to make a false move, but also moved out of the whole world to suppress himself. For a while, he just wanted to win, and said angrily: "How do you know that I don't like Longyang?
Lu Wenyuan was really stunned. Zhu Shiyang was overjoyed, but he only said that he had won by surprise, but he listened to him and admonished him even more passionately: "Your Majesty, the way of Longyang is really not the right way, and Weichen advises the emperor not to indulge in it." Emperor Wai of the former Han Dynasty broke his sleeves and favored Dong Xian, but finally died of hatred because of indulgence. There is also Qin Fujian's favor for the Murong sisters and brothers, but they were finally washed by Murong Chong's blood. It can be seen that the way of Longyang is indeed harmful, and only hoping that the emperor will take care of the dragon body is the blessing of the people in the world. ”
Zhu Shiyang only felt that his qi and blood were surging for a while, and his eyes were dark. It is necessary to know that Emperor Han mourned the early death and Fu Jian died in the country, and this comparison is not a great rebellion. At the moment, he couldn't care about Junyi, pointed at Lu, and shouted: "You are so bold! Dare to say that I am the Emperor of Han Ai, and I will die soon!"
Lu Wenyuan's expression was firm, and the emperor's fingertips had almost touched his nose, but he still did not dodge or dodge, neither humble nor arrogant: "Wechen is not saying that the emperor is Emperor Han Ai, Wechen is just making an analogy......"
Zhu Shiyang was furious and interrupted him: "Since ancient times, you don't compare so many Ming monarchs, why do you want to compare Emperor Han Ai!"
Lu Wenyuan said-for-tat: "If the emperor wants to compare with Yao Shun, he must first make Yao Shun's political achievements, since the emperor ascended the throne, he abandoned the early dynasty and was not diligent in governance, so that the national fortunes were depressed and the people of Li were displaced, does the emperor still want to compare himself with Yao Shun!"
"It's the other way around, it's the other way around......" Zhu Shiyang was speechless, and he could only repeat these two words for a while, full of anger and had no way to vent, he suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Come on! Drag this rebel minister and me down, and beat the fifty court staff!"
Fu Qian heard it in his ears, panicked for a while, and saw that one of the two was thunderous and angry, and the other was determined to confront, for fear of making things bigger, he hurriedly crawled between the two, blocked Lu Wenyuan behind him, and hugged his fists on his back and said: "The emperor is angry, the old saying is that the cloud is not punished by the doctor, and the Ming ancestor system does not blame the official, please ask the emperor to be gracious and spare Lu Wenyuan once!"
Zhu Shiyang had already made up his mind, just waiting to be relieved, and sneered: "Fu Qing has such a big breath that he actually moved out of the Ming ancestral system to suppress me." Well, since the ancestral system does not blame the official, I will move him to be the head of Beijing, and Fu Qing will protect him like this, so I will move to your ministry. The head of the ministry is not a speech official, so he can always be beaten!" In the end, someone dragged it down, and he hit the fifty court staff again.
It is necessary to know that in the Ming Dynasty, Zhejiang Province supervised the imperial history of the official residence of seven products, and the chief official of the Beijing Central Officials Department lived six products. Lu Wenyuan was really promoted, but he was punished with fifty court rods, which can be seen from the absurdity of Emperor Zhu Shiyang of Ming Zhao.
Lu Wenyuan was beaten by fifty court canes, and he went to half of his life in pain, staying in the inn in Beijing, raising it for more than a month, and the safe plate was not enough, and the room rate of the inn in Beijing was extremely expensive, more than twice as high as other places, so it was delayed day by day, and the money became tighter and tighter.
On this day, Lu Wenyuan was lying on the couch reading a book, and the little guy was lying on the table and dozing off, suddenly hearing a noise on the stairs outside the room, and before he could react, the door was kicked open with a "bang", and several big men rushed in with hulala, led by a tiger with a bear's waist, and shouted: "Is that them?"
The shopkeeper squeezed out of the crowd, looked at Lu Wenyuan and Ping'an, and said, "Yes, it's them." The money has been delayed for three days, and he only hides in the house and does not show up. If you don't hand it over this time, you will be beaten and thrown out!"
Lu Wenyuan was taken aback, he had been sick for the past few days, and he had entrusted all his affairs to Ping An to take care of, how could he make such a fuss? Busy looking at Ping An, he saw that he had already panicked, and threw himself on the side of the bed and cried: "Young master, we didn't bring enough money when we came out this time, and we couldn't afford to pay the room fee for a long time." I was only afraid that the young master would worry, so I kept it a secret. ”
Lu Wenyuan couldn't cry or laugh, and didn't say anything, is there a room fee? Now that he will be thrown out, he is not even more worried.
As soon as the shopkeeper heard Ping'an's words, he became angry at that time, pulled off the towel on his shoulder, twitched out of thin air, and raised a pair of eyebrows and said: "I heard it! Another one who eats for nothing and lives for nothing! Lao Tzu, this is an inn, not Yizhuang, don't drag it for me, throw it at the gate?"
The group of big men responded in an uproar, and immediately came over to drag Lu Wenyuan and Ping'an. They were their opponents, dragged down the stairs like chickens by the rapture, and thrown to the door and rolled in mud.
Ping'an saw that his young master was knocked on the wound, and his face turned pale with pain, and he was anxious and angry for a while, and he got up from the ground and scolded: "You people who don't have long eyes, do you know who my young master is? Supervise the imperial history, the head of the ministry, and the official of the imperial court! Now that you are treating him like this, are you not afraid that you will sue the emperor in the future and demolish your inn!"
The shopkeeper sneered, crossed his hands on his waist and replied: "Who are you scaring about?" Lao Tzu has also been under the imperial city for a few years, and I don't know what you are in charge of the imperial history, but the petty official of the sixth or seventh grade, do you know whose assets are in the name of this inn? Say it and scare you to death, when you are a member of the first grade, Master Fan Zhefu Fan." No matter how big the role is, we have thrown it away, are we still afraid that you will not succeed as a sesame petty official!"
Ping An was angry, and he was going to fight with the little two when he pounced. Lu Wenyuan was inconvenient, he didn't hold it for a while, and the scene immediately became chaotic, the shopkeeper was beaten under Ping'an, and Ping'an was beaten in the middle by a group of big men, and the already lively street was even more lively, and the crowd of onlookers came one after another.
The secretary of the ministry encountered such a scene on the way home. He was blocked by a group of people, so he reluctantly craned his neck and glanced in, but it didn't matter, he saw Lu Wenyuan crawling on the ground, desperately stabbing into the middle of a crowd, and he was punched a few times in the blink of an eye.
Fu Qian was in a hurry for a while, no matter what Lu Wenyuan said, he was also an old acquaintance, and now he was moved to work under him, and there was no reason to sit idly by. At that moment, he pushed aside the crowd and stopped the crowd.
The shopkeeper crawled out from under Ping'an, Fang scolded himself, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a young man in a brocade robe standing in front of him. The shopkeeper had sharp eyes, and recognized that the scarlet court dress could only be worn by the officials of the court who were above the third grade, and knew that he could not afford to offend, so he hurriedly shook it and asked, "This lord, I don't know what to teach?"
Fu Qian said angrily: "You beat people on the street, you are lawless, and you still ask me what I have to say?"
The shopkeeper cried and lost a face, nodded and said: "My lord, we have a small business, how dare we be lawless, it is really these two scoundrels, they eat and live for nothing, and the villain really has no choice, so he made this decision." ”
Fu Qian said: "How much silver taels they owe, the official will pay it off on their behalf." ”
Seeing that Fu Qian was so reasonable, the shopkeeper hurriedly shook it deeper, and said with a smile on his face: "If you go back to the adult, the room fee is a total of seven taels and three dollars of silver, plus the food money for the past few days......"
Fu Qian took out a whole ingot of silver and threw it on the ground: "You don't have to look for it, just remember it next time, and don't bully others." ”
The shopkeeper Wei Wei agreed and stepped forward to pick up the silver. Fu Qian didn't bother to look at him, so he only helped Lu Wenyuan up with Ping'an, and slowly walked out of the crowd.
The two helped Lu Wenyuan to sit down on the side of the street opposite, Lu Wenyuan relieved for a while, the pain of the injury passed, and when he saw Fu Qian staring at him with a concerned face, he hugged his fists and thanked: "Lord Shangshu came to the rescue, and I am grateful." It's just that now the entanglement is exhausted, and I have no money, and I don't know when this silver will be able to be repaid......"
Fu Qian said: "Brother Lu said that he was killing Fu." I entered the Shidenke in the same year as Brother Lu, and if it weren't for Brother Lu being designed and suppressed by the examiner, which round would I get to sit in the top position? Fu has been sleeping day and night in the past few years, and he feels deeply guilty, just because the one he got today should have been Brother Lu's, and now he has the opportunity to repay one or two, Fu is really too late to be grateful, how dare he let Brother Lu pay it back?"
Lu Wenyuan crossed over halfway, and he didn't know about it, so he had to say vaguely: "Master Fu is too careful." It was Lu himself back then, what does it have to do with Master Fu? Master Fu is very knowledgeable, and the champion is really deserved. ”
Fu Qian hugged his fists and said: "Fu Mou was deeply disturbed when he saw Brother Lu's situation today. If Brother Lu doesn't dislike it, it is better to go back to the house with Fu with his family first and stay for a while, so that Fu can also have a little peace of mind. ”
Lu Wenyuan was now desperate, so he had to nod his head, and the three of them walked together for a while, and saw a deep gate compound blocking the way, and a large plaque with gold characters hanging on the lintel, with the words "Fu Fu" written on it.
After settling down in the Fu Mansion, Fu Qian came to talk to Lu Wenyuan, and when he talked about what happened to Fang Cai, Lu Wenyuan asked: "The imperial court has always been the most jealous of collusion between officials and businessmen, why is this cabinet scholar Fan Zhefu so rampant that he opened an inn at the foot of the Son of Heaven to do business?"
Fu Qian sighed and said, "You have been in the place for a long time, so you don't know that the imperial court is really in the hands of Fan Zhefu now. The emperor usually doesn't even see the ministers, let alone the situation outside the Forbidden City. ”
Lu Wenyuan said: "Isn't there anyone who dares to speak out and advise?"
Fu Qian said: "You also saw it a few days ago, the emperor's appearance, where is it allowed to be persuaded by others? Besides, Fan Zhefu covers the sky with one hand, and I am afraid that the piece will not reach the emperor's hands, so he will intercept it." When the time comes, I will eradicate you as a political enemy, and it will be too late to cry. sighed, and then said earnestly: "So I advise you not to wade into this troubled water, just do your duty honestly." The lesson of the flesh and skin is enough once, and the next time it may be a loss of head. ”
Lu Wenyuan didn't answer yes or no, but just lowered his head thoughtfully.
