Chapter 40: Feng Shui Rotates
The three brocade-clothed guards escorted Fang Yuan and were about to take him out of the Qianqing Palace, when the voice of Emperor Chongzhen behind him sounded again, "Slow! ”
Fang Yuan was forced to kneel on the ground by the two brocade guards, Chongzhen had already lay back on the dragon chair, Wang Chengen handed over a cup of soup in a knowing way, he took a few sips, and said, "Fang Yuan, do you know why I want to scold you with a cane?" ”
Fang Yuan really didn't know Chongzhen's thoughts this time, and said helplessly, "The minister doesn't know." ”
Chongzhen's gaze fell on the DV machine on the dragon case again, stroked it gently, and said, "If you think of it, I will forgive you; If you can't think of it, go to the edict and get boarded! ”
Fang Yuan's scalp tingled for a while, and he secretly thought about Chongzhen's thoughts, and his intuition told him that Chongzhen was not angry with himself from beginning to end, so what was it that made Chongzhen angry?
Chongzhen was playing dumb riddles and selling guanzi, and Fang Yuan's mind was full of thoughts.
Could it be that the matter of entering Tian Guifei's harem was detected? No! If Chongzhen knew that it was a blessing not to be beheaded, where would he transfer himself to the Qianqing Palace?
Could it be that he had a personal relationship with Cao Huachun and Fang Zhenghua? No! Chongzhen didn't say a word about Cao Huachun, obviously not knowing that Cao Huachun had returned to the capital.
Fang Yuan thought about it, remembered the crime arranged by Chongzhen, and acted in Jiangnan in violation of the law, suddenly came to his senses and stood up suddenly.
Wang Chengen saw that he stood up without Chongzhen's nod, his face changed greatly, he was worried that Chongzhen would be angered again, and hurriedly scolded, "Fang Yuan, be bold, you dare to rise up without Your Majesty's will." ”
Fang Yuan rubbed his aching knees, and said, "Your Majesty has made a golden statement, and I can forgive it when I think of the reason." ”
His move was a big faux pas in Wang Chengen's eyes, and he was about to scold, but he was interrupted by Chongzhen waving his hand, and looked at him with a gloomy Long Yan, "Fang Yuan, tell me the reason." ”
Fang Yuan said loudly, "The only big crime of the minister is that in Jiangnan, he only punished those literati a little, the punishment was too light, not enough to exert the power of the Ming Dynasty, and the culprit should be killed on the spot to set an example!" ”
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly laughed and slapped the dragon case, "Knowers, Fang Yuanye, Wang Chengen, can you guess?" ”
Wang Chengen hurriedly shook his head like a barang drum, "Your Majesty's power is unpredictable, where can the old slave guess Your Majesty's thoughts?" ”
Chongzhen was in a very good mood, and laughed and said, "Haha, Wang Chengen, let's re-declare the decree!" ”
Wang Chengen wiped the sweat from his forehead and promised repeatedly.
Chongzhen said loudly, "Fang Yuan has meritorious service after the annihilation of Yanzhou Mansion; It is even more meritorious to punish the literati who gathered all the people in chaos in Jiangnan and maintained the dignity of the Ming Dynasty. I was very happy when I heard this, and I was specially promoted to be a hundred households in Jinyi Wei, serving as the guard of the Qianqing Palace, and listening to the tune at any time. ”
Fang Yuan was finally relieved, this time he was not only promoted, but also directly transferred by Chongzhen to the Qianqing Palace as a guard, that is, he was regarded by Chongzhen as a cronie, and everything he had done before was really not in vain.
Only then did Wang Chengen understand that Emperor Chongzhen was planning to reuse Fang Yuan, and the previous worry of the celebrant was indeed superfluous, so he nodded and replied.
Chongzhen also said, "Wang Chengen, the second oracle of the Chuan I, specially appointed Jinyi Wei Baihu Fang Yuan full-time to examine the case of Guo Qi Tian Hong's embezzlement of money and transfer of family property, and I will see the results of the examination within ten days." ”
Chongzhen handed over the review of Tian Hongyu's case to the hostile Fang Yuan, and his intention could not be clearer, that is, he was already disappointed in Tian Hongyu, so Fang Yuan fabricated charges and convicted Tian Hongyu.
Wang Chengen and Fang Yuan went to the Jinyi Guard to announce the decree one after the other.
This time he was able to pass the test safely, Wang Chengen's secret help was indispensable, Fang Yuan was busy taking advantage of no one, and thanked him, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness." ”
Wang Chengen looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "That's Fang Zongqi, oh, no, Fang Baihu can get His Majesty's forgiveness by himself, what credit can I have?" ”
Fang Yuan wanted to learn from the TV series and take out some silver from his arms to express his gratitude, but he was shy in his pocket, only two taels of silver, how could he get it and not be laughed off by Wang Chengen?
Wang Chengen saw that he wanted to pay for it, so he hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Don't, don't." Fang Baihu, you are Cao Aweng's person, Aweng had the grace to promote me back then, and the trivial things were not enough to repay Aweng's kindness. Talk to me about money, that's vulgar. ”
Fang Yuan thanked him again, turned the two palaces, and Wang Chengen said again, "Fang Baihu, this time you also breathed a sigh of relief for our inner court, and now you have become a red man in the eyes of His Majesty, and our inner court is also honored!" ”
Today's Fang Yuan seems to have become a rising star launched by the inner court and the eunuch party, whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, with Fang Yuan's eyes, he really can't see it.
"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: The general banner of Jinyi Wei is the original righteousness of its nature, its good deeds, the permission of literature and martial arts, and the outline of the ministers. He was immediately promoted to 100 households in Jinyiwei, and he belonged to 100 households in Jinyiwei, and listened to the tune of the Qianqing Palace full-time. Chin this. ”
Wang Chengen read out the dictation of Emperor Chongzhen in the Jinyi Guard, and the Jinyi Guard commanded Luo Yangxing to accept the decree respectfully, and handed it to Wu Mengming, the fellow Jinyi Guard, to accept it.
The appointment of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei is the authority of the Beizhen Fu Division, and it will not even alarm Luo Yangxing, not to mention that the emperor personally issued an edict. This time, Chongzhen personally issued an edict to promote Fang Yuan, which was the first time in the world.
Moreover, the guards of the Qianqing Palace are usually served by the Jinyi Guards in rotation, but Chongzhen said that Fang Yuan, the Jinyi Guard, is a full-time servant, and the attitude is already self-evident.
Luo Yangxing, Wu Mengming, these officialdom oilers also saw the joints, although Fang Yuan's official position was not large, it was very important to Chongzhen.
Wang Chengen read out the second edict, "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Tian Hongyu, a national relative, neglects official etiquette, slacks political work, bends the law for bribes, and commits the crime of great disrespect." He immediately ordered the Jinyi Wei Baihu Fang to investigate the case, and within ten days, the Jinyi Wei Wei needed to provide convenience to act. Chin this. ”
Luo Yangxing secretly swallowed his saliva, it was obvious that Tian Hongyu sued Fang Yuan for five capital crimes, but now Chongzhen asked Fang Yuan to preside over Tian Hongyu's case, this limelight changed too quickly, which caught him off guard.
He was glad that he had left a hand before searching Fang Yuan's house, which was ordered by the Beizhen Fu Division, and he did not come forward in person, otherwise, Fang Yuan, who was facing the sudden big red man in front of him, would have been really embarrassed to come home.
Luo Yangxing's commander is the third grade, and Fang Yuan's hundred households are the sixth grade, the position is five or six levels higher than Fang Yuan, and the official quality is three grades higher, but when he saw Fang Yuan, his face was still full of pleasantness, and he said with a smile, "Fang Baihu's new official has taken office, it is better to pick up the sun than to hit the sun, today the Jinyi Guard will pick up the wind and wash the dust for Fang Baihu, how about it?" ”
Fang Yuan, Luo Yangxing, and Wu Mengming saluted, and then said, "Lord Commander, Lord Tongzhi, this time to investigate the case of Tian Hongyu, Your Majesty urged me tightly, and I understand the kindness of the commander, let's leave it to the case after the case is closed, let's handle the case first!" ”
Luo Yangxing smiled and said, "Okay, how do you want to check Fang Baihu, if there are not enough people, I will order Zhang Xingcheng to send an additional hundred brocade guards for your command." ”
As soon as Fang Yuan heard Zhang Xingcheng of the Thousand Households, he remembered the two brothers Qin Zhan and Jing Jie who were still locked up in the Jinyi Wei Prison, and hurriedly said, "There are thousands of households and hundreds of households in the Jinyi Guard Office who colluded with Tian Hong, let's clean it up from the inside first!" ”
Luo Yangxing knew that Fang Yuan was going to take Zhang Xingcheng of thousands of households and Li Da of 100 households, so he pretended to scold him sharply, "Wu Tongzhi, do you know who it is?" Such a daredevil! Immediately investigate thoroughly, find out one and kill one by one, Jinyiwei must not leave these black sheep! ”
He preemptively stated his position of never protecting his shortcomings, and Wu Mengming also understood the words, "My subordinates are willing to cooperate with Fang Baihu to eliminate the moths of Jinyiwei and give His Majesty an explanation." ”
Fang Yuan seemed to cooperate with the two of them in acting, and said with a smile, "Lord Commander, Lord Tongzhi, the two of you are busy with official business, and you won't have to work hard to investigate the matter in person." I want to ask the commander for a piece of paper, and I can walk around the Jinyi Guard, and I can inquire about it. ”
Sacrificing a thousand households, a hundred households can be exchanged for a safe pass, Luo Yangxing is unwanted, busy saying, "This is simple, come to someone, take my command token." ”
The two brocade guards handed over a luxurious wooden plaque with a golden body and carved dragon patterns and tiger stripes to Luo Yangxing.
Fang Yuan looked at it, and the top of the wooden plaque read, 'Jinyi Wei Du commanded Luo Yang's ten words, needless to say that this is the token of Jinyiwei's commander.
Luo Yangxing handed the wooden card to Fang Yuan and said, "Fang Baihu, you take this token, and the Jinyi Guards of the capital and the guard can be deployed and driven at will." ”
He knew that he hadn't seen the direction of the wind clearly this time, offended Fang Yuan, and deliberately curry favor to deal with the aftermath. Of course, Luo Yangxing also has a flowery intestine, Emperor Chongzhen is moody, this wicked person Fang Yuan wanted to do it, he did it, anyway, it is not Luo Yangxing who offends people, if the limelight turns again in the future, Luo Yangxing can also be as stable as Mount Tai, ready to fight against the water at any time.
Fang Yuan saw his careful thinking in his eyes, saw through it but didn't break it, his target was Li Da, it was Zhang Xingcheng, it was Tian Hongyu! As for Luo Yang's two-faced and three-edged swords, riding the wall left and right is very common in officialdom, there is no need to worry about it at all, as long as he is at ease to be a green and pollution-free Jinyi Guard, just don't come to make trouble.
He took the token of Luo Yangxing's command, and bowed to him according to the etiquette of his subordinates, "Thank you, Lord Commander, the token will be returned after the case is concluded." ”
Fang Yuan turned around under the gaze of Luo Yangxing and Wu Mengming, the first target was the edict of Jinyiwei, his brothers Qin Zhan and Jing Jie were still imprisoned in the edict prison, and they must be rescued immediately.
