Wang Dazhi held the Xuande kiln printed white ou tea cup, stood behind the curtain of the small hall and drank tea while listening to Fang Congzhe and Zhang Dai and Zhang Yuan brothers, waiting to hear Zhang Yuan explain the original situation, Wang Dazhi was surprised, the tea in the white Ou cup was spilled, and thought: "The emperor's birthday in August this year, the son of the old man of the Enyin Fangge, Fang Shihong, was ordered to be the Shangbao Si Cheng, Fang Shihong entered Beijing at the beginning of this month, and the swagger and deceitful person Zhang Yuan said is very likely to be Fang Gongzi, Why did that Fang Gongzi clash with Zhang Yuan, and now he was sent to the Terracotta Division, which is a stain no matter what! ”

I thought again: "This is just Zhang Yuan's words, the truth of the matter is still unclear, but with Zhang Yuan's cleverness and practice, how can he recklessly send a person who claims to be the old son of Fang Ge to the Soldiers and Horses Division without authorization, how can I ask it clearly, there is only one possibility for Zhang Yuan to act like this, that is, Zhang Yuan deliberately pretended to be confused, seriously faked, and deliberately swept the face of Fang Ge's old face——"

After the initial surprise, Wang Dazhi quickly calmed down, after all, Fang Congzhe and their Chu Party are not completely of the same mind, the Chu Party is now in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials and the Cabinet have been fighting for power for a long time, after the Donglin Yu Party is swept away, the contradiction between the Ministry of Officials and the Cabinet will appear, so Wang Dazhi has nothing to do with himself now, and he looks at how the old Fang Ge responds to this sudden crisis?

Fang Congzhe in the hall was in a hurry, he was shocked, he didn't know whether the person Zhang Yuan said was caught in the Terracotta Division was his son Fang Shihong, this may be a trap set by Wu Daonan, Donglin Dang, and Zhang Yuan, instructing people to pretend to be his son to do something bad that is not big or small, and then catch the Terracotta Division, even if it is clarified in the end, but the impact on him is obviously not good, so he can't make a rash decision. I'm afraid of leaving a laughing stock. However, if the person who caught the Soldiers and Horses Division was really his son Fang Shihong, how should he deal with it?

Fang Cong is philosophically knowledgeable and familiar with allusions. At this time, I suddenly remembered Hai Rui's methods of rectifying Hu Zongxian's son in the past, when Hai Rui was just the magistrate of Chun'an, Zhejiang, and Hu Zongxian was the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. Hai Rui dared to arrest and beat the son of Hu Zongxian who passed through Chun'an, under the pretext that someone pretended to be Hu Gongzi to deceive, Zhang Yuan's current hand is not imitating Hai Rui, Zhang Yuan deceived people too much, you Zhang Yuan Hai Rui is so clean and clean with his sleeves is blameless, but now the cause is unknown, Fang Congzhe can't attack-

Not allowing Fang Congzhe to think too much, Zhang Dai and Zhang Yuan brothers glanced at each other, and got up together to say goodbye to Fang Congzhe. Zhang Dai said: "The two student brothers are here to learn about this matter from the old man of Fang Ge, please don't care about the rumors in the market, and the clear ones will clear themselves." The turbidity is self-turbidity - the student says goodbye. ”

Wang Dazhi, who was watching from the small hall, was very worried. If the guy who was caught in the Terracotta Division was really Fang Shihong, then the Zhang brothers came to inform him of the matter and left calmly. This is tantamount to giving the old man Fang Ge a slap in the face and then walking away, if this is spread out, what kind of face will the dignified Ming Shoufu have to set an example for the ministers!

"Wait—"

Fang Congzhe spoke, his two lying silkworm eyebrows were raised, his expression was awe-inspiring, and his tone of voice was neither light nor serious: "Xian Kunzhong, please sit less, the old man immediately ordered his family to go to the Dongcheng Terracotta Division to inquire about it, if it is fake, it will be severely punished, if there is another hidden situation, the old man will not be tolerant, the two of you will wait for a while-"

Fang Congzhe stepped out of the living room, called a competent manager, and asked in a low voice, "Where did Shihong go today?" ”

The steward said: "The young master went out for a drink with Qian Sheng and Liu Sheng before noon. ”

Fang Congzhe asked, "Where to drink?" ”

The steward said: "It's about the area of Chongwenmen, but I don't know where the villain is." ”

Fang Congzhe said: "The Baozi River is not far from Chongwenmen. "You immediately take my name and rush to the Dongcheng Terracotta Division, the young master is afraid that he will be detained-" Thinking about it is inappropriate, he changed his words: "Don't reveal your identity first, find out what is going on and talk back quickly." ”

The steward hurriedly went, Fang Congzhe frowned and paced on the steps, and called another steward, and asked this steward to go to see Shuntian Mansion Yin Li Changgeng with his name, Li Changgeng had a close relationship with him, and he wanted to ask Li Changgeng to come forward to deal with this matter-

After arranging it, Fang Congzhe remembered that Wang Dazhi was still in the small hall, so he went to see Wang Dazhi again and apologized: "I'm ashamed, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and I neglected Wang Langzhong." ”

Wang Dazhi had no choice but to comfort Fang Congzhe and said: "Don't worry about the elder pavilion, this matter must have nothing to do with Brother Fang Shi, it's just a misunderstanding, then the next official will leave first." With that, I hurriedly resigned.

Fang Congzhe felt embarrassed and very frustrated, returned to the living room, and saw that the Zhang brothers were not in a hurry or impatient, sitting there slowly sipping tea, Fang Congzhe looked at Zhang Yuan and asked: "The person who claimed to be my son offended Zhang Xiuzuo, why didn't Zhang Xiuzhu take him to see me?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The reason is unknown, how dare the lower officials make a mistake." ”

Fang Congzhe's voice was low, and he asked again: "If that person is really a dog, what about Zhang Xiushu?" ”

Zhang Yuan pretended to be panicked and said, "Is the elder of the pavilion blaming the lower officials for not handing over that person to the elder pavilion?" ”

"Pretend to be confused with me." Fang Congzhe was secretly annoyed in his heart, but now he couldn't accuse Zhang Yuan, and asked, "How did those people offend Zhang Xiu's daughter?" ”

Zhang Yuan sneered in his heart and replied: "It was a concubine of Xiaguan and my eldest brother's concubine playing with the ice bed at the back door of the Baozihe Mansion, and the person who claimed to be Fang Gongzi spoke lightly, so there was a dispute. ”

Fang Congzhe stopped making a sound, waiting silently, this is a wordless confrontation between the two sides, fighting for psychological quality, Zhang Dai and Zhang Yuan know in their hearts, but Fang Congzhe has no bottom in his heart, time passes in the afternoon, the sun is almost dusk, Fang Congzhe finally couldn't bear the torment in his heart, got up and said: "Thank you Xian Kunzhong for telling me about this, please go back first." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Don't worry, the lower officials are willing to wait, the case is very simple, the people of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division will soon review it clearly, and come to explain the outcome of the case to the old man of the Fang Pavilion." ”

Fang Congzhe was difficult to ride the tiger, at this time he had to wait, and when he waited for about two moments, the felt curtain in the living room opened a corner, and the steward showed his face and shouted: "Master-"

Fang Congzhe stepped out of the living room, the steward was sweating profusely, looking frightened, and said in a low voice: "Master, Young Master Hong has really been arrested-"

Before the steward finished speaking, the doorman ran in and said, "Master, there is a visitor." "Presenting the famous thorn, it is Fan Ercheng, the commander of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division-

Fang Congzhe hurriedly asked, "Is Shihong back together?" ”

The doorman said, "I didn't see the young master." ”

Zhang Dai and Zhang Yuan walked out of the hall, and Zhang Yuan asked: "Have the people from the Dongcheng Terracotta Division come to report the case, and the lower officials are also parties, I want to listen to it, please ask the elder for permission." ”

Fang Congzhe couldn't refuse, he also wanted to confront the two Zhang brothers by leaving them behind, but now it seems that this decision is quite unwise-

Fan Ercheng, the commander of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division, came in, and gave a salute to Fang Congzhe, seeing that Zhang Dai and Zhang Yuan were also in the Fang Mansion, Fan Ercheng looked strange, and also saw the salute, and said to Fang Congzhe: "Pavilion Elder, the lower official received a case today-" When the dispute on the bank of the Paozi River was said, the facts of the case had been determined, and those men did have words to flirt with women, and there were attendant servants and fellow prostitutes as evidence, but Zhang Xiu accused them of pretending to be the son of Fang Pavilion Lao, Fan Ercheng did not dare to determine whether it was true or false, and asked Fang Pavilion Lao to send someone to recognize each other-

Fang Congzhe's face was pale, he now believed that his son Fang Shihong might have some debauchery after drinking, but it was just the two concubines of the Zhang brothers, this kind of thing could have been laughed at, but Zhang Yuan wanted to make trouble with the Soldiers and Horses, and his intentions can be imagined-

Zhang Dai and Zhang Yuan said goodbye again, saying that it was getting late, and they wanted to rush back, could Fang Congzhe still detain them in Fangfu, Fang Congzhe was not Yan Song and Yan Shifan back then, and the authority of the first assistant in the last years of Wanli had been greatly reduced, and he could only watch the Zhang brothers leave.

Fang Shihong was taken back to Dashi Yongfang that night, the previous grief and grievance turned into shame and shame, seeing his father, Fang Shihong was embarrassed to say that he was beaten by Zhang's servants, but the lump in the corner of his forehead could not be covered, Fang Congzhe learned that his son was also beaten, and he was so angry that his hands and feet were cold-

……

It is said that Fang Shihong's frivolous words and deeds are nothing to others, and the huge capital does not know how many such things will happen every day, at most he apologizes and earns a courtesy, but who makes Fang Shihong the son of the first assistant of the dynasty, who makes Fang Shihong provoke Zhang Yuan, and it is on the eve of Ding Si Jingcha, the Donglin officials in Beijing are moved, and the officials who belong to Donglin or pro-Donglin have written to impeach Fang Congzhe, such as the godson has no party, the emperor is not strict, the corpse is vegetarian, and there is no political achievement, The responsibility for natural disasters and man-made disasters in the Ming Dynasty in recent years is piled on Fang Congzhe's head, the Ming Dynasty's officials have always held a magnifying glass to look at the shortcomings of others, Fang Congzhe was so anxious that he had no time to retaliate against Zhang Yuan, and in the face of the impeachment chapter that degraded him to nothing, Fang Congzhe had to write to Emperor Wanli to resign.

The Wanli Emperor issued an edict the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve: "Qingzi was involved in a dispute in the market, and he had to do with Qing He, Fang Jin's state affairs are complicated, and the cabinet affairs are important. I rely on my heart, I should rely on my heart, assist the government and politics, and become the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and there is no need to have a trust. ”

Fang Congzhe was unwilling to resign like this, he knew that his resignation was falling for Zhang Yuan's treacherous scheme, Zhang Yuan was scheming to drive him away, so that his teacher Wu Daonan could only take charge of the cabinet affairs, so as to promote that set of fallacies, so of course Fang Congzhe could not let Zhang Yuan get his wish, and the emperor comforted him, so he continued to stay in office, but Fang Congzhe's reputation has been greatly affected, and the world mostly talks about success or failure.

Many officials in Beijing expressed doubts about Fang Congzhe's ability to deal with the crisis, and there was nothing the dignified Shousuke could do about a Hanlin cultivation, once a major event happened in the country, what could such a Shousuke do!
