Chapter 218: Lost Shang Shuling
(The 4000-word chapter is dedicated to everyone, go to work tomorrow, thank you all ~~ haha.) )
Zheng Xinglin's visit, of course, is Fang Jixin's injury. Before he went to Fang's house for treatment, he received an edict from the emperor, ordering him to report to Zichen Hall after the diagnosis and treatment. It's just that he came in a hurry.
Originally, this matter was not so urgent, Fang Jixin would not get better or die for a while, but Fang Jixin's position as Shang Shuling was too important, Zheng Xinglin couldn't grasp the importance of Fang Jixin's injury to the imperial court, thinking of his injury, he still came to Zichen Palace.
Who knows, how much does the emperor value Lord Fang's injury? There's nothing wrong with being cautious.
Zheng Xinglin's report is obviously not what Emperor Chongde likes to hear. After listening to Zheng Xinglin's words, his face was a little gloomy, and he stared at Zheng Xinglin and asked, "You mean, Fang Jixin can't walk anymore?" ”
Zheng Xinglin was stared at by him like this, he felt that his body was covered with ice slag, and a chill instantly surged into his heart, and he replied stubbornly: "Weichen thinks so, Lord Fang is too seriously injured. The knife wound on his body was not fatal, but when he was injured and fell, his spine must have hit something very hard and shattered......"
As he described, the injuries on Fang Jixin's body can be healed slowly, but the broken spine can't be brought back, no matter how long it takes to nurse, it won't get better, and his situation is particularly strict, Zheng Xinglin, who has treated too many people, can already accurately judge the results.
This result is obvious, that is: Fang Jixin can lie down in the future, and she will never be able to stand up again!
Fang Jixin's injury was beyond Emperor Chongde's expectations. He thought that Fang Jixin would slowly get better. Or serious injuries and death, either way, it was expected, but he didn't expect it to be like this. Can't stand up anymore? What does this mean?
Emperor Chongde knew very well what this meant, which meant that Fang Jixin, the Shangshu Order, had to be replaced. Dading can be a scholar of any official, but he can't be a person who can't stand up. Judging by his words and words, this official selection rule is here, and Fang Jixin's official career has come to an end.
And this news means that there is no need for Fang Jixin to protect Emperor Chongde at this moment. What does he want a waste man to do? A wasted person can't cooperate with his next plan, which also means that the things in his heart can't be done.
Just a few moments. All kinds of thoughts flashed through Emperor Chongde's mind. In the end, he lowered his eyelids and said, "I know, you can step down." ”
Shen Du, who was staying in the Zichen Palace, breathed a sigh of relief again after hearing Emperor Chongde's words. He was right. As long as Fang Jixin has no value to insure. The emperor will definitely not protect him!
Whether or not to protect Fang Jixin's matter itself. It doesn't matter much, but whether to protect or not implies the emperor's attitude towards the man in black, and also implies the emperor's attitude towards the army. This. is what Shen Du values very much.
The emperor's attitude towards the army represents peace or turmoil in the Dading army. What Shen Du was most afraid of was that the emperor would use the matter of the Fang family to set off a bloody prelude to the army.
Such a result is unacceptable to Shen Du. For this reason, Shen Du did not hesitate to stain his hands with blood, and ordered Chen Wei to break Fang Jixin's spine so that he would never be able to stand up!
A Shang Shuling who can't stand up has no effect on the imperial court. Even if the emperor wants to use Fang Jixin to do something, he will be cautious and then retreat.
Luckily, he got it right! The emperor was really cautious, and then retreated.
When he left the Zichen Palace, Shen Du's forehead was still covered with sweat. Among them, some came out naturally, and some he forced them out with internal force. When I was in the temple, I didn't feel anything, but when I came out, I felt that it was unbearable sticky, which made my heart cramped.
After leaving Miyagi, Shen Du did not go to Zhongshu Province or Fang's house, but went straight back to Shen's house, or towards the east garden of Shen's house, until he saw Shen Su, he felt that his heart was forced to retreat, and his breathing was much smoother.
Shen Su is still recuperating from his injuries, although his beard has turned white, his complexion has gradually improved. Without the pain of tearing the meridians with internal force that day, the coldness and viciousness of his face were much less, and he looked more and more like an ordinary old man.
"Father, I'm back." Shen Du tried to calm himself down and greeted Shen Su with a smile.
Shen Su was of course surprised to see Shen Du hurrying back. Especially Shen Du's eyes had a rare panic, just like back then.
"What's going on? What are you afraid of? Shen Su stood up and asked in a nervous tone, turning around and taking a closer look.
Shen Du took the Tiger Ben soldiers to Fang's house, of course Shen Su knew. Those men in black are definitely not the opponents of the Tiger Ben soldiers, what's the matter?
Being asked by Shen Su like this, Shen Du came back to his senses, and then found that his palms were full of sweat. This cramped and swollen feeling in my heart is fear? Shen Su is his father, and he will always be the source of his confidence and strength, so he will rush back to Dongyuan in a hurry.
Are you scared......
Shen Du covered his face, trying to hide his ugly face, and said in a loud voice: "Father, Fang Jixin won't live long, I'll do it." ”
He will go through everything that the Fang family has done, including Fang Jixin's spine, Fang Mi and Fang Ke's serious injuries, as well as Zheng Xinglin's being provoked by the Tiger Ben soldiers to the Zichen Palace, and the invisible competition with Emperor Chongde in the Zichen Palace, and of course, Emperor Chongde's concession.
"You're doing the right thing, there's nothing to be afraid of. Fang Jixin has been in the position of Shang Shuling for a long time, and what he has done will be judged sooner or later. From the time he hid those soldiers, his outcome was already doomed. Shen Su replied, his voice still cold and hard.
Fang Jixin is like this now, Shen Su feels that there is nothing to say at all, he is not alive because of his own evil, that's it. If it weren't for the purpose of comforting Shen Du, he wouldn't even bother to say the three words Fang Jixin.
In the matter of the Fang family, the only thing that could make Shen Su care was Shen Du's fear, as for the people of the Fang family, they were not in his consideration. And the master of Zichen Palace, Shen Su also set aside.
"Those men in black, none of them lived, and they didn't have any marks on them. Even if I knew they were in the military, I couldn't help it. What I'm most afraid of is that after Fang Jixin is taken out of the black-clothed person. The emperor will use this to deal with the Fu family, and the blood in the army will rise again. Shen Du continued, telling his speculation about Emperor Chongde.
"He won't, Fang Jixin has become a waste, he won't. He was suspicious, but not stupid. Shen Su smiled, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
The Fang family's bloody case, if it is planted on the head of the Fu family, it is not impossible. But Fang Jixin knows his students too well, and this desire is a crime. This kind of thing that will tarnish the reputation. That person wouldn't do it.
After all, if he did that, the meaning of the sham would be too obvious, which was different from his desire to take Xijiangwei over. None of the officials in the DPRK or China are brain-dead. Most people can see what is going on. That person. No matter what you do, it's immaculate. An emperor through the ages. It is his obsession, and now he is such a crippled body, and he still enjoys the unique honor of the emperor. Doesn't that illustrate this?
Shen Du nodded, he understood what Shen Su said. Because of this, he made Chen Wei do those things. It's just that...... Just what?
"It's a child who thinks too much." Shen Du Hao Hao said, thinking about why his fear came. Since he made a move on the other party's house, he should follow the direction of his heart, and should not wander at all. Outside of Fang Jixin, he only attacked Fang Mi and the quasi-concubine Fang Ke, who were good at scheming, and he had already made up his mind in his heart.
"Although the emperor has retired, there will definitely be people who will take advantage of the Fang family's bloody case to deal with the Fu family. If you don't know anything about it, you have to be careful. Shen Su patted Shen Du's shoulder and reminded.
Fang Jixin can't stand up, for the emperor, he is a waste, but for some people, such a wasted person is of great use.
Shen Su was at a loss, at this moment, in the Chengguo Mansion on Taipingqian Street, someone was ordered to come to Qin Ji's study. About half an hour later, Li Chu, the strategist beside Qin Ji, sent people out.
"Xie Changshi, please rest assured, since His Royal Highness has an order, the prince will definitely handle this matter." Li Chu said while sending someone over.
The person who came nodded and soon left the Chengguo Mansion, as for whose order he was under and what he said, it is self-evident.
On the other side, Qin Ji thought about it, and walked towards Qin Yi's study. In this matter, he also had to listen to Qin Yi's thoughts to see how he could complete the explanation of the Third Highness and recover a little loss.
Qin Yi was in the study at this time, and as Qin Ji expected, Qin Yi's face was extremely gloomy, which showed that his mood was very bad.
Qin Yi's mood has fallen to the bottom. In the past year, everything has not gone well in the Chengguo Mansion, and now Fang Jixin has been added to the problem, Qin Yi is now not seeing anyone instantly, and even Liu Ji, the most valued dead soldier around him, was reprimanded by him for a few words.
Originally, Qin Yi still wanted to make Fang Jixin suffer, he planned to make a move at the last moment, but he didn't want to, the current situation of the Fang family turned out to be like this!
He learned from Zheng Xinglin that Fang Jixin's injuries were not healed, even if he was intensively cultivating, it was useless. Fang Jixin can't stand up anymore, and she will never be able to stand up!
A person who can't stand up is a waste person to Qin Yi! He will save the Fang family, provided that Fang Jixin is still useful, Shang Shuling's position can be kept, and the power of Shang Shu Province can be maintained. Now, it's for nothing!
If Fang Jixin is no longer Shang Shuling, then what use does this person have for the Chengguo Mansion?! It took so much money and energy for the Chengguo Mansion to launch a Shangshu Order, so that it could control the power of Shangshu Province. Now, seeing that the edifice is about to fall, and seeing the power lost from his hands!
Of course, there are other forces in Shangshu Province, but none of them are high and easy to use in Fang Jixin. Rank is not just used to show the status of officials, it is also very useful. There are many things that can only be done with a certain level. For example, entering and exiting the palace at any time, the official rank from the second rank is unusually smooth.
Even if the Chengguo Mansion has money and power now, it will be difficult to launch a Shangshu order from the second grade!
Thinking of this kind of loss, Qin Yi felt pain in his heart. Why did Fang Jixin have an accident in her spine? Why can't you stand up? And Fang Jixin, the second son who is good at scheming, why did he die? And the prospective horse Font also died, too unexpected, too impossible!
"Liu Ji, you go check! Looking into the cause of Fang Mi and Fang Ke's deaths, I suspect that there is something else to their deaths. There is also Fang Jixin's spine injury, which can break his spine if he falls on the stone steps? No way! After thinking about it, Qin Yi commanded.
Those black-clothed people were hidden by Fang Jixin, and this killing of the Fang family must be a bitter plan. Since it is a plan, it will definitely not hurt the root bones, but now that Fang Mi is dead, Fang Ke is dead, and Fang Jixin is also useless. It definitely wasn't done by the men in black, something must have gone wrong.
It's a pity that the important men of the Fang family died and were injured, and none of those black-clothed people were alive. What happened to the Fang family at that time, the Chengguo Mansion didn't know!
After Liu Ji took the order and left, Qin Yi set his eyes on Qin Ji, and his tone was a little rushing: "Ji'er, why are you here?" ”
"Father, Fang Jixin is abolished, and the Chengguo Mansion has no Shangshu Order, but it can still recover some losses." Qin Ji opened his mouth, not caring about Qin Yi's slightly rushing tone.
"What do you mean by this?" Qin Yi asked, Qin Yi is definitely interested in things that can bring benefits to the Chengguo Mansion.
"The man in black is the one who assassinated Fu Ming, who knows about this? There is such a bloody case in the Fang family, who will the murderer be? Who the Fang family offended, this is all something that Jingzhao officials are interested in, and it just so happens that Fang Jixin had targeted the Fu family in the court before......" Qin Ji said slowly.
As long as those men in black were said to have been sent by the Fu family, things took a turn for the worse. In this way, while the Fu family is suspicious of the emperor, there is one more murder case like this, so the Fu family will not escape!
As soon as the Fu family is defeated, Xijiangwei is in the pocket of the Third Highness, and the originally agreed replacement can also be quickly replaced. This can be regarded as catching up with the general's plan. In the middle, it is the same whether there is Fang Jixin or not.
The more Qin Ji thought about it, the more he felt that the plan was feasible, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
However, Qin Yi listened to Qin Ji's plan, but he didn't have the slightest joy, but shook his head and said: "This plan is not feasible, there is no human or physical evidence, and it is absolutely impossible to convict the Fu family with rumors." ”
Qin Yi had already thought about the plan that Qin Ji said, and he thought of it when he saw the tiger signal last night, but finally denied it. This murder case is different from the impeachment sewage on the Xuanzheng Palace, there is no real evidence, and the people of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple will definitely not set up a file.
What's more, with Yu Hengjing's character as an old fox, if the Chengguo Mansion really makes such a speech, the Chengguo Mansion will be impeached to death! Qin Ji is rarely afraid of people, but he is very afraid of Yu Hengjing's endless saliva, a piece of eternal affectionate cowhide plaster, and he shuddered when he thought about it.
"If this doesn't work, then wouldn't we have lost a Shang Shuling in vain?! Father, this is not going to work! Qin Ji roared lowly.
Yes, it is not possible to do without Shangshu Ling, but at the moment, what can be done? Qin Yi folded his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed deeply, and once again he felt that his power was being cut off little by little.
