Chapter 243: Wenhe (First Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Master Fan!"
When he saw Fan Wencheng, Suo Etu only bowed his hand slightly, not respectful, nor contemptuous.
"Suo Guard, what are you?"
But even so, Fan Wencheng's tone still seemed very close, but the sentence "Master Fan" in the other party's words still made his heart tighten. After all, in the past, Suo Etu used to call him "uncle" in private, and he was called "Master Fan" there as he does today.
You know, he's a brother to his father, Sonny. After his comeback from the eight years of Shunzhi, after the emperor was in power, he was robbed of his official home because of his support for the emperor, and he was placed in Zhaoling, not only restored his previous position, but also progressed to the hereditary first-class uncle, promoted to the Minister of the Interior, and the Minister of Parliament and the General Administration of Internal Affairs, and became the chief Manchurian minister of the Shunzhi Dynasty. It can be said that he has won the trust of the emperor.
As his son, Suo Etu also won the trust of the emperor, and because of this, when Suo Etu came to visit, Fan Wencheng thought that this matter would take a turn for the better.
However, the respect in the other party's words made him realize that he was afraid that this turning point was gone, and perhaps, the reason why Suo Etu in front of him was here was not necessarily a good thing.
"Master Fan, I came here this time to ask you a word."
Suo Etu looked at Fan Wencheng's tone and looked very direct, originally he wanted his father to make a choice earlier, but who would have thought that the emperor didn't give him time at all, but directly gave him an errand.
"Oh, I don't know if the emperor has anything to ask the old slave?"
Fan Wencheng's heart tightened, and the drum suddenly beat in his heart.
The emperor asked Lord Fan, is it "harm" or "shock"? ”
A seemingly simple question made his heart suddenly tighten, if it were someone else, he might not know the meaning of these two words, but for Fan Wencheng, he naturally knew where this sentence came from, which came from "The Secret History of Concubine Zhuang".
It is said that once, he was called by Concubine Zhuang three times in one day, and then changed his clothes three times in a row, so that Fan Wencheng once sighed with emotion: "Three changes of clothes a day!" What's the harm? So a friend asked him, "Is this "harm" "horror"? Or is it "harmed"? Faced with this question, Fan Wencheng just smiled and said nothing.
This seemingly simple question, which would suddenly come out of Suo Etu's mouth, only made Fan Wencheng feel a chill on his back, and a cold sweat poured out in an instant.
Looking at Suo Etu standing there, Fan Wencheng, who was as dead as a face, immediately understood.
"Did the emperor ask Lord Suo to ask?"
This will stop him saying "virtuous nephew", as smart as him, don't you know that when the emperor sent someone to ask him this sentence, it was equivalent to telling him that it was time to make some decisions.
The emperor can't wait!
The answer is yes.
Suo Etu nodded, looked at Fan Wencheng and said.
"The emperor said that Lord Fan knew what he meant."
What does that mean?
It's a talisman!
After Suo Etu left, Fan Wencheng sat in the study with a dead face, Fan Chengbin looked at his father's appearance, and said easily.
"Dad, what do you mean by Suo Etu?"
Shaking his head, Fan Wencheng said.
"It's not Suo Etu, it's the emperor!"
Looking at his son, Fan Wencheng smiled bitterly.
"Do you remember what my father once said that Zhu Yuanzhang invited Xu Da to eat goose meat?"
Fan Wencheng, who was like a dead face, mentioned this widely circulated saying about Xu Da, Xu Da had dorsal gangrene on his back and couldn't eat goose meat, so Zhu Yuanzhang sent a eunuch to give Xu Da a bowl of goose meat, Xu Da understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, ate the goose meat, and his condition worsened, and he died in a few days.
And now, the emperor asked Suo Etu to ask him this, why?
"Dad, you mean, you mean, the emperor, the emperor, he wants to harm his father's life?"
Fan Chengbin said nervously,
"It's not about hurting my father, it's the emperor who wants my father to choose!"
Is it "harmful" or "appalling", if he is not far away, I am afraid that when the time comes, the emperor will have to do something to the entire Fan family!
The emperor can't wait!
"Dad, you can't ......"
Fan Chengbin immediately knelt down and cried.
"Dad, you give the emperor a fold, give it to the emperor, you have worked hard all these years, and now you are old, the emperor, the emperor, no, no, you go to ask the queen mother, ask the queen mother......"
"Confused!"
Looking at his son who couldn't cry, Fan Wencheng reprimanded.
"At this time, if you go to beg the Queen Mother, won't you force the Fan family to die? You remember, after your father leaves, don't care about anything, now the emperor wants to save face, so let your father choose by himself, if you say a wrong word, maybe, the emperor will sprinkle the fire on you! At that time, the Fan family will be finished! ”
What is the reason why I have been willing to be a traitor all these years? For the sake of the Fan family, Fan Wencheng didn't want to see everything he had worked hard to do was ruined in the hands of his son, and finally even forced his son to swear, so that he could be regarded as relieved.
"Your Majesty, hey, ......"
Finally, when it was close to midnight, Fan Wencheng, who had personally written an excerpt, sighed, and then looked at the wine glass on the table, and in the wine glass was a cup of poisonous wine that sealed his throat with blood, as long as he drank this wine, his life would be cut off.
"Your Majesty, the old slave is worth it in this life, if there is no old slave in this Qing Dynasty, how can there be today, if there is no old slave, then how can Chongzhen hang himself on the tree, if there is no old slave, how can the Qing Kingdom reign in China. Today, the old slave is gone, the emperor, I only wish, I only wish that the Qing Dynasty will be forever in China! ”
After saying this, Fan Wencheng, who was already full of tears, drank the poisonous wine in one gulp, and after drinking the poisonous wine, he suddenly laughed again, and fell down with a smile......
Fan Chengbin, who was wearing a filial piety robe, knelt in the hall, his face was full of tears, as the eldest son, he had made a poisonous oath by his father, and he must not complain to the emperor in the slightest, after his father's death, he was never allowed to worry about his father, what did he need to worry about?
It's definitely a nickname.
Fan Wencheng is dead!
Dying of a sudden illness at home, for Fan Wencheng, who was over 65 years old, it doesn't seem to be a big deal to die suddenly, it seems to be an ordinary thing, after all, he is already sixty-five years old.
As the first person in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Fan Wencheng's death, the imperial court should naturally have something to say, as the emperor's blessing According to reason, it is natural to recall this old minister of the Second Dynasty who made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty.
And if it is according to common sense, according to the respect for Fu Lin in the past, in the "evaluation" of it, that is, in the name, it should be particularly respected.
Wenchen is generally called "Wen *" when he enters Hanlin, and the latter word is the evaluation of the minister, and the difference is very particular. The best nickname is Wenzheng, which is the highest pursuit behind a minister, the so-called Zheng, mainly pay attention to conduct and integrity, establish a dynasty with positive colors, and be virtuous by future generations.
According to common sense, Fan Wencheng could also say "Wenxiang" and "Wensu" for the last time, but no one thought that when Fulin set his nickname, everyone was stunned.
“…… Although there are many mistakes, it can be regarded as a high degree of hard work in the Qing Dynasty, and it is said to be "Wenhe"! ”
After Fulin gave Fan Wencheng's nickname, all the ministers' faces changed suddenly, this "Wenhe" is the lowest level of the nickname that can be obtained by civil officials according to the level, and Fan Wencheng can be said to be the first person to be a civil official, and he actually has such a nickname.
"The emperor, the minister thinks, with the credit of Lord Fan in the Qing Dynasty, to "Wenhe" as a sycophant, it is absolutely not feasible, although Lord Fan has made many mistakes, but in the first emperor, in the Qing Dynasty is also repeatedly meritorious, the first emperor also once said that it is "the world of Wolong", with the virtue of Lord Fan, it can be said that the virtue is the future generations, in the view of the minister, even if it is "Wenzheng", there is no choice! ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the room did not change color. Everyone looked towards the person who spoke, although now Jinan is just a line, maybe the sparrow is also complete, Xu Youtai who spoke is a little-known official, but no one thought that this ordinary and inconspicuous official actually became a bird at this time, didn't he know that the emperor's name to Fan Wencheng was with fire?
For Fu Lin, yesterday's place will let Suo Etu pass on that sentence, that is, he doesn't want Fan Wencheng to live, but he doesn't want to bear the reputation of killing heroes indiscriminately, and now the reason why he is arguing over the nickname is also the heart of the young man, in his opinion, all of them are already extrajudicial grace to the nine clans, and now what kind of nickname is given to him, this will hear that someone wants to give him "Wenzheng", and a burst of anger suddenly surged in his heart.
Thinking of Fan Wencheng's obscenity and insult to his mother, Fu Lin, who was annoyed for a while, immediately took the case, looked at Xu Youtai and said.
"Good, good, good, good, good, good, Come! ”
"In!"
"Strip him of his official uniform and put him in prison to make him reflect on his mistakes today."
"Piercing!"
The guards immediately came up and picked up Xu Youtai and left. And Xu Youtai not only did not have the slightest fear, but even shouted loudly:
"The emperor blocked the way of speech like this, insulted Sven like this, and the ministers refused to accept it! Does the emperor think that this will be able to block the mouths of the world? Surrender ......"
"Okay, okay...... I don't accept it even if I die! ”
Fu Lin was so angry that he was about to go crazy, and he pointed at Xu Youtai tremblingly and said.
"Crazy life! What's the use of keeping a bastard like this? Pull it down, cut it! ”
The emperor's angry appearance made everyone bow their heads one after another, and they didn't know why the emperor was angry, it was because of Xu Youtai's madness, but because of Xu Youtai's sentence "The world is full of people", how can this "world be full of people" can be blocked?
In the silence of everyone, a cold color flashed on Fu Lin's face, and he asked in a deep voice.
Do you think "Wenhe" can be Fan Wencheng's words? ”
