Chapter 442: People are more popular than dead people

Although there was no mention of Fang Bin's death at the court meeting the next day, in the same capital, anyone who is not blind or deaf knows that there is such a thing. Wu Zhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, were in a trance throughout the court, even Lu Zhen, who was the best at words, if it wasn't for the support of the strong spirit, they almost made mistakes several times during the performance, and when they finally dispersed the court, that kind of distraught appearance was gone. Even the military attachés who had nothing to do with themselves were quite puzzled by the sudden death, after all, it meant that they would have to deal with another military secretary from now on.

"It's just a reprimand to the emperor for losing his office, I think who of us didn't let the emperor scold him when he was fighting?" Although Wu'an Hou Zhengheng said that he was old, he was still full of energy, "If you can't figure out the slightest thing, you will commit suicide, where is this emperor?" In the past, I only thought that Fang Bin was insatiable, but I didn't expect to be such an idiot! ”

Since the commanders of the various armies had been determined before, Liu Sheng, who was in charge of the Beijing camp, now had to come to the court meeting specially to participate. Although he is not a marquis, he has been in charge of the Chinese army and the Shenji Battalion for several northern expeditions, and before the theft of gunpowder from the Shenji Battalion was only a matter of punishment and fine, so now others dare not underestimate him. At this moment, seeing a few nobles shaking their heads and sneering, he glanced at Zhang Yue, who was mixed in the middle of the military department and retreated to the left door, and interjected beside him.

"When a person dies, he dies, the emperor must remember his past merits, and this matter will have to pass, what are we martial artists doing so much? Seeing that this northern expedition is an ironclad thing, have you ever prepared the weapons and armor at home? ”

The most important thing for martial artists is naturally weapons and armor, and when Liu Sheng mentioned this, everyone immediately left Fang Bin's matter behind. At the same moment, several imperial histories of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were falling behind, and their faces were even more excited and excited, and one of them even clenched his fists and waved.

"It can't be counted if a person dies, if such a traitor dies, there will be a second or third guest in the future! Even if you can't defeat a greedy villain like Lu Zhen and Wu Zhong, you have to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger to give them some color! ”

I didn't sleep well the night before yesterday, and last night I waited for news until the middle of the night, and then tossed and turned to think about it, so Zhang Yue's spirit was naturally not much better. Fortunately, although he is busy with official business now, what he has to do is to review the official documents and urges the transportation of salaries in various places, which are all repetitive tasks, as long as he signs and seals them mechanically, so he can still be distracted and continue to think about things. It was easy to stay up until noon to eat, and Wanshijie, who couldn't see it, simply pulled Zhang Yue to Du Kanglou near Chongwenmen.

"In the past, you were all doing things outside, and I couldn't help you, but now that you are in Jingshi, you still hide your thoughts in your stomach alone, which is too little of a friend!"

Because there was still official business in the afternoon, so Wan Shijie ordered the guys to only serve tea and not wine, and when it was ready, seeing that Zhang Yue was still silently eating and drinking tea, he suddenly became impatient, and said bluntly: "Yuan Festival, you are just worried about the impact of Fang Shangshu's suicide, but you have also seen the situation at today's court meeting, and the emperor is just a little darker." No matter how bad it is, everyone is dead, and this matter should come to an end, and now there are already people who have taken the salary of the Northern Expedition, Xiao Xia also said to me, Yang Ge Lao and Xiao Yang have already advised the emperor, and the emperor seems to be moved. ”

Although he was very grateful for Wanshijie's kindness, Zhang Yue still felt that his heart was heavy, and he couldn't be forced by Wanshijie, he simply raised the teacup in front of him and drank it all, and then said: "I just think that Fang Shangshu shouldn't commit suicide." ”

"Shouldn't you?" Wan Shijie came to his senses at this time, and after pondering carefully, he gradually sank his face, "It's not unreasonable for you to think about it, Fang Shangshu is not guilty, Xia Shangshu Du who went to Jinyi Guard Prison is all fine, why did he die suddenly...... But Fang Shangshu's temperament should be counted by you and me, that is an extremely strong person, maybe I feel depressed in my heart......"

"Early yesterday morning, Lord Chen Liujun and my little five went to Lingji Palace to offer incense, and they also met Lord Fang." Zhang Yue was unwilling to hide it at this time, so he simply tore up this matter to Wanshijie. He slammed the teacup on the table, and then took a deep breath, "According to Xiao Wu, Lord Chen Liujun also persuaded Lord Fang to say two words, it seems that he has some understanding after listening to it...... And don't you think it's strange, Lord Fang was in Guangdong for crime at the beginning, and the situation now is always better than then, why can't you think about it this time? ”

"This ......"

Wan Shijie couldn't say anything like you think too much, and his brows twisted into a knot for a moment. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply put down the cup. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a knocking sound on the floor, and then he saw a figure coming upstairs, he looked at the person and felt a little familiar, who expected the man to run towards their table, and before he could stand firmly, he shouted, and then he was exposed.

"Brother-in-law, you are really here, fortunately, fortunately! Come with me, someone wants to see you! ”

Xiao Wu's words suddenly revealed a woman's voice, but fortunately, the restaurant was extremely noisy, and no one paid attention to this idea. Wan Shijie saw Xiao Wu first, and naturally realized at this time. And Zhang Yue immediately woke up after being stunned, and suddenly guessed who was coming to see him, so he asked in a deep voice: "Where is the person?" ”

"Where is the carriage on the left hand side of the city gate......"

Seeing Zhang Yue standing up and hurriedly going downstairs as soon as she heard this voice, Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, and originally reflexively wanted to chase down, but after thinking about it, she still felt that it was better for her to take care of this difficult big thing, so she sat down at the table. She was dragged out by Zhu Ning early in the morning, and the carriage circled around several streets in the capital, and at this time she was dizzy and hungry, so she naturally didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and ordered her to serve another bowl of rice and feast on herself.

It was easy to fill her empty stomach half-full, Xiao Wufang raised her head, and saw Wan Shijie on the other side looking at her dumbfounded, she was suddenly a little embarrassed. Tilting her head and looking at the other party for a moment, she suddenly smiled and said, "I remember you, you also went to Qixia Temple with your brother-in-law to ask the old monk for advice, and also asked the old monk how to achieve meritorious deeds." ”

That time, Wan Shijie only cared about seeing the amazing and brilliant Dao Yan, and the others were only secondary, and he was a little embarrassed when he heard Xiao Wu's words. He heard Zhang Yue mention that Du Juan has such a righteous sister, but "it's better to be famous than to meet", and at this time, when his original bottom was exposed, he couldn't help but smile. However, Xiao Wuping is used to being acquainted, and he is not a person who cares, so after a short period of questions and answers, they became familiar with each other.

Zhang Yue, who went downstairs, quickly found the carriage on the left side of the city gate, which was still the Zhai carriage with red oil silk and various decorations removed, but it was intentionally covered with a layer of checkered cloth on the outside. As soon as he arrived at the car, the curtain of the car gently opened a crack, and then Zhu Ning's familiar voice came from inside. She first explained the experience of going to Lingji Palace yesterday, and finally sighed.

"I didn't expect that I had just been to Lingji Palace yesterday, and Fang Bin died in the blink of an eye. However, although he looked lost his soul at that time, he didn't think about hanging himself, not to mention that I had enlightened him, which was really unreasonable. However, I heard that Fang Bin has always been hated, and others are still jealous of him when he is alive, and I am afraid that countless people will fall into the well in this death. His life and death are not only related to himself and the Fang family, but also a series of people, if your father-in-law is implicated, it will be bad. Wan'er is my confidant, and I also admire Master Du, but I can't do anything about it. Zhang Yue, it's all up to you. ”

The emperor's temper has become more and more irritable over the years, and the more he prefers favored people on weekdays, the more serious the fall will be once the incident occurs, Huang Yan and others are the best examples, so although Zhang Yue said that he was puzzled by Fang Bin's death, this was what he was most afraid of. At this time, Zhu Ning's reminder was the same as what he had seen, so he nodded and replied in a deep voice: "Don't worry, county lord." ”

Zhu Ning was silent for a while, and then said lightly, "I can help Wan'er in the future, and if I really get married, I can't come out so casually...... Min Min has to keep filial piety for three years, and besides, if something like that happens in her family, it will be difficult to marry well in the future; I, the county lord, are much luckier than her, at least the three candidates given by the emperor are all pure-hearted people; Speaking of which, Wan'er is the luckiest of the three of us, so you must treat her well in the future. ”

Even if he already knew in advance that Zhu Ning's choice was either/or, Zhang Yue was still a little surprised when he heard this, but then he raised his hand sincerely: "The county lord has helped me and Sister Wan so much, if I say thank you, it really doesn't matter." There's nothing else to say, but I hope the county lord will be happy in the future. ”

"Thank you for your good words."

Zhu Ning in the carriage smiled slightly, with a warm smile on his face, which was very different from the previous bright and hearty. After talking to Zhang Yue for a few more words, she heard Xiao Wu's voice outside, so she opened the curtain and pulled her into the car. The carriage drove slowly, Zhang Yue returned to the Du Kang Building, and a black oil carriage parked on the right side of the Chongwen Gate on the other side lowered the curtain and told the coachman to follow.

Zhou Wang Zhu Hu first faced his strict father Zhu Yuanzhang for most of his life, then his nephew Zhu Yunwen who killed chickens to show monkeys, and then his suspicious brother Zhu Di. At this time, sitting in the steady carriage, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the scene he had just seen from afar.

People are more popular than people, how can his daughter not be as good as Lao Du's daughter, they are all identity harmful!

Zhu Ning didn't know that her father had followed her all morning, and after sending Xiao Wu back to the Du family, she instructed the coachman to go to the palace and prepare to meet the crown princess Zhang. However, when the car arrived at Donghua Gate, she got out of the car and met an unexpected person.

"It's really a coincidence that I met Aunt Ning here." Zhu Zhanqi happened to come out of the palace, and the moment he straightened up after stepping forward to salute, he said in a low voice, "In the folk Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that Zhuge Liang is angry with Zhou Yu, and Aunt Ning is really a woman who does not let the hero, and a Shangshu can actually say that a scholar commits suicide in shame." ”
