Chapter 23: The Upper Dynasty
Fang Hongwen is an authentic native of the imperial capital, born in the imperial capital, and it is not surprising that he will also die in the imperial capital. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoHis father, who worked as a merchant, wanted his child to get rid of the lowly status of a businessman, so he sent him to a private school. Fang Hongwen did not live up to his father's hopes, and after digging the golden house from the book for more than ten years, he finally mixed up with the position of a scribe.
In the imperial capital where people with backgrounds are running all over the streets, the little scribes not only fail to show their ambitions, but also have to look at other people's faces in order to keep their broken jobs. Fang Hongwen, who understands fate, pins his good expectations for the future on Fang Hui. The Golden House, Yan Ruyu, and Qianjin Su, these let Fang Hui continue to pursue.
But now it's all ruined, my son is dead, and all hope is gone.
The sun shone on the imperial capital in April, on an old father who was in pain after losing his son.
"Hui'er just contradicted you a few words, why do you hate it so much! Even if Hui'er goes to the government office to sue you, hasn't she already been beaten by you! ”
"I only have such a child! Ancestors and ancestors, the Fang family is going to die! ”
"You just killed me, you just dismantled this old bone."
......
Chen Baichuan endured all kinds of accusations from Fang Hongwen's mouth, and he always felt that he owed the Fang family. Grief is a terrifying force that severely destroys the body and spirit, and Fang Hongwen quickly lost all his strength.
He just muttered and repeated in place, "It's you!" It's not who else you are! ”
Chen Baichuan decided that he wanted to let Lynch Zheng or others behind the scenes taste the pain!
The old man was still sad, and a scolding sounded.
"Who stopped the sedan chair! Want to hinder the official affairs of the imperial court? ”
Not far away, there were more than a dozen people, dressed in black with black hats, and with a long robe and a waist, who were the Jingzhao Mansion officials wearing soap suits. More than a dozen errand servants followed behind the dignified officials, and the one who came was none other than Yan De, the big boss of Jingzhao Mansion.
Seeing that Jingzhao Mansion sent someone to come, the scholars' arrogance weakened a little. Although everyone present is a scholar who will have the opportunity to rise to prominence in the future, they are still civilians without official positions, and since ancient times, people have not been able to fight with officials. In many cases, justice is not done until it is safe.
"Liu Lefeng, you are also a knowledgeable person on weekdays, how did you do such a foolish thing? If you don't report something to the yamen and solve it privately? Envoy Chen was summoned to the palace by His Majesty, and you don't want to live anymore? "Liu Lefeng's family background is innocent, and his literary talent is excellent, and he is very popular with the literati circle. Yan De also has a few relationships with him, and saying this has a bit of a hint of posterity.
Liu Lefeng knew that everyone had broken the law, and the other party Hongwen comforted: "Uncle, there is something wrong with me waiting for this trip today, why don't we put the sedan chair over first, and then go to Jingzhao Mansion to sue for justice?" Fang Hongwen nodded sluggishly, and it could be regarded as a response.
The scholars drooped their heads to make way for the sedan chair, but Chen Baichuan did not get into the sedan chair immediately. He walked straight to Fang Hongwen's side and said softly: "It may also be my enemy." ”
Fang Hongwen didn't react, and Liu Lefeng, who was holding him on the side, was like a thunderbolt exploding in his ears. Thinking about Yan Fuyi's words again, Liu Lefeng broke out in a cold sweat. In the game of the big man, he can only be used as a chess piece, and in this situation, he is better to be less involved.
After Chen Baichuan got into the sedan chair and left, Liu Lefeng sincerely gave a big salute to Yan De, and said in a respectful tone: "Lord Xie." Yan De didn't reply to him, only left a good expression that you understand, and left with the servants, leaving only two lonely old men and a group of dumbfounded scholars to stay where they were.
"Whoever proposed to come here to make trouble, I, Liu Lefeng, have no mercy with him." Liu Lefeng's voice fell, so he helped the old man to follow Yan De to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case. Many scholars followed him, and a few remained in place to struggle.
After twists and turns, the sedan chair finally successfully arrived at the imperial palace.
White stone steps, Chen Baichuan will step into the main hall. Different from listening to the Xuan Palace, in the main hall, in front of him is no longer only Emperor Qinghua, but the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.
When the little eunuch saw Chen Baichuan coming, he shook the dust in his hand, pulled his throat, and called like a male duck with his neck up: "Chen Baichuan, the envoy of the Chen State, asks to see him." ”
The little eunuch's duck voice undoubtedly lifted the spirits of the officials in the palace, and they had to prepare to go to court as soon as it was hazy, and they were drowsy at this time. Daheng was courted early in the morning on the fifth day, and it was known as the civil and military officials who played together. In fact, most of the people who went to court were Beijing officials, and there were not many performers.
Usually, at this time, Emperor Qinghua had already announced his retirement from the dynasty, but today is different, the envoy of Chen Guo has officially come to the audience, and these hungry and tired officials have to stand for a while. Only those who need to deal with urgent matters in Jingzhao Mansion can leave first.
Daheng Wenwu straightened his neck and looked at the gate of the main hall curiously. One foot stepped in first, and a handsome young man appeared in everyone's field of vision. The moon-white robe, with green silk wrapped around the shoulders, and the skin was as white as the Daheng literati, but the red in the snow white was better than the miserable white of the scholars. Chen Baichuan's appearance was extremely confusing, and just looking at his appearance, the ministers thought that he was a young man who was not bullied.
The main hall of the Daheng Emperor's Palace is much more spacious than the Tingxuan Palace, and the rows of windows are opened in unison, allowing the sky to brighten the entire main hall.
I don't know if it's because of the crowd or because of the scorching sky, there is no trace of gloomy smell in the main hall.
Chen Baichuan stepped on the white jade slab and couldn't help but secretly say: "I actually paved a path with white jade!" Legend has it that the ancestors of Daheng found the inheritance of Daqi in the Ten Thousand Swords Peak Forest, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. The national and material resources required for such a luxurious scene can only be done by Daqi. ”
Seeing that the envoy of Chen Guo was gradually approaching on the white jade road, the ministers put away their wait-and-see mentality, and they were all solemn. And Emperor Qinghua, who was sitting on the throne of the Qilin Emperor, wore a purple and gold crown on his head, a purple robe embroidered with a red gold unicorn, and a white beard and frosty sideburns, not angry and arrogant.
"The envoy of the Chen State has seen the Great Heng Shengwu Shengwei and the Great Heng Qinghua Emperor." When an envoy comes to visit on behalf of a nation, there is no need to bow down.
After a salute, Chen Baichuan took a general look at the situation in the hall.
Hundreds of officials gathered in the court, and the civil and military ministers were divided into left and right. The main hall sits in the north and faces south, and the east and west of the text. The first person in the column on the right side of Chen Baichuan was not surprisingly Prime Minister Xu Mingyuan, and on the left he thought it would be Wang Chong, the father of Wang Yan, Marquis of Wulie, who knew that there was a sandalwood chair in the first row of the military attaché's column, and the old man with a beard sitting on it was Wang Huang Qingyun side by side.
Chen Baichuan ignored Huang Qingyun's "kind" gaze and read King Chen's national letter. The letters are nothing more than ridiculous nonsense, nothing more than empty words boasting of the strong friendship between the two countries. But according to the rules, Chen Baichuan still finished reading him.
Then the newly appointed Ministry of Rites Shangshu praised the friendship between the two countries, expressing the respect and friendship of the children of Daheng to the friendly Chen Guo.
After the play, let's get down to business.
