Coming out of Jinyiwei Zhenfusi, Fang Yingwu instructed Lou Tianhua and Fang Yingshi, asking them to escort Zhang Gui back to recuperate, while he ended his day's trip around the imperial city, and returned home in the moonlight very tired.

Because he was too tired, he still had the heavyweight task of entering the palace tomorrow, so Fang Yingwu didn't plan to go to the morning and dusk to settle the province, and was about to sneak back to the west courtyard from the atrium.

But I saw a servant greeting: "Little master! The Great Master is waiting for you in the hall! "The father has a call, but the son can't resist, so Fang Yingwu has no choice but to go to the church to pay a visit.

When Fang Qingzhi saw his son come in, his face suddenly darkened, and he reprimanded: "You enter the palace tomorrow to face the saint, what a grace this is!" Today you should be bathing and self-cultivation, silent self-reflection, but you are out all day long, what is the reason?

My father also heard rumors that you went to Wanping County, and beat the officials in public against the county zun, and your arrogance was unstoppable, and you simply lost the face of our family! Who taught you to be so prodigal and corrupt? ”

Fang Yingwu was slightly surprised, and asked rhetorically, "What happened just before noon today reached my father's ears today?" This rumor is also getting worse. ”

Fang Qingzhi suppressed his anger and said lightly: "You are the famous Fang Immortal Fang Qingtian, everywhere you go, everyone is in the limelight, who doesn't know who doesn't know?" Under the wind and grass, the news naturally spreads quickly. ”

"Father! Your words are bitter and mean, not in line with your old man's daily gentleman's way, and you have fallen into depravity, and I am deeply saddened by my son! Don't think evil is small, father, you have to think twice! Fang Yingwu shouted against the army.

Fang Qingzhi stared straight at Fang Yingwu, and three words popped out of his mouth: "Please family law!" ”

When Fang Yingwu heard the "family law", he stood still like a mountain. It seems to be deep and solemn, calm and solemn.

This made Fang Qingzhi very puzzled: "Why don't you take the door and run away?" Isn't that what you're good at? ”

Fang Yingwu said: "What are you afraid of? It just so happens that my son, I will face the saint tomorrow. Please take a look at our family's father and son's filial piety, and let my family's reputation spread to the Great Inner Palace! ”

"Get down!" Fang Qingzhi couldn't help but reprimand angrily.

Fang Yingwu moved and walked out. After taking two steps, I felt that it was wrong, which would be too bad for my father. So Fang Yingwu raised his hands and held his head, made a frightened appearance of a wolf rushing suddenly, and quickly rushed out of the hall.

But he said that he went back to the west courtyard, bathed and washed under the service of the concubine, and then went to bed and lay down alone. Although there were many things that happened today that made him exhausted, he dared to say it. Tomorrow will definitely be more strenuous.

After all, it was the place where the intrigue and intrigue were most concentrated in the deep palace where the foreign ministers were extinct. And when you enter the palace alone, who knows what will happen?

Fang Yingwu is not unfounded, there is a precedent for this. When it comes to the minister's entry into the inner palace to face the saint, the last time was about ten years ago.

At that time, Chenghua Tianzi was still an introverted young man, the first assistant was Peng Shi (the brother of Peng Hua at the end of the current cabinet), the second assistant was a business teacher, and the third was the current first assistant Wan'an.

This cabinet team is still quite serious. Peng Shi was a good person, and the businessman was also a model for Shilin, while the shameless and treacherous Wan An was only the third in the cabinet at that time, and he couldn't set off the storm.

However, at this time, the Son of Chenghua did not like to summon the minister. But it has already been formed. Since the death of Li Xian, the super-powerful former first assistant, Chenghua Tianzi has gradually alienated himself from the ministers, and all state affairs are only run through official documents.

The courtiers are still very unaccustomed to this new phenomenon (the Ming courtiers will become more and more accustomed to it in the future). They all asked the Son of Heaven to get close to the virtuous ministers, and they wanted to summon more ministers to discuss the country's affairs.

The Son of Heaven was annoyed enough by the performances in batches and batches. In order to block the mouths of the ministers, he issued an order to summon the ministers to face the saints. So the ministers cheered. I thought that success had led my majesty to learn well.

But this time the cabinet ministers collectively faced the saint, judging from the historical records, it was a very failure

It is said that at that time, there was a kind reminder to the elder of the pavilion: "You and His Majesty are very strange, in order to avoid saying too much, don't say too much this time, first mix your face and become familiar, and there will be more opportunities in the future." ”

When it was time to meet, the monarch and the minister first said a few painless little things, and then the monarch and the minister, who were not familiar with each other, had nothing to say.

At this time, Wan An suddenly knelt on the mountain and shouted long live to say goodbye and leave, Peng Shi and Shang had no choice but to leave with Wan An.

Afterwards, the eunuchs in the palace laughed at the minister and said: "He often complains that the Son of Heaven does not summon the minister, but when he summons him, he has nothing to say, only to shout long live." ”

From then on, the Son of Heaven no longer summoned his ministers in private, except for ceremonial court meetings, but only isolated himself within the high palace walls, and only maintained communication with the foreign court through official documents.

At the same time, the nickname "Long Live Pavilion Elder" spread far and wide, although it was mainly worn on Wan An's head, but Peng Shi and Shang Shi were inevitably affected because they met together. In Mr. Shang's almost perfect life resume, this can be regarded as one of the stains.

When Fang Yingwu encountered the opportunity to face the saint, he naturally remembered the story of more than ten years ago.

After careful consideration, Fang Yingwu always felt that the summons back then was full of conspiracy. Peng Shishang and others are all erudite, and they talk about big truths endlessly, so how can they meet the Son of Heaven and have nothing to say?

The unkind persuasion of the supervisors in the palace, Wan An's just right cooperation in the matter, and the eunuchs hyped up the public opinion afterwards, which was a conspiracy in the eyes of Fang Yingwu.

Let's hope I don't have that tomorrow! After all, when His Majesty summoned the entire cabinet, the government was full of meaning, and it was easy to be involved in the power struggle inside and outside the palace. The great eunuchs, who had monopolized the audio-visual around the Son of Heaven, naturally did not want to see the Son of Heaven and the ministers close.

And his own weight is far worse than that of the elder of the pavilion, and the Son of Heaven summoned him mostly out of curiosity, and there is no such strong political meaning, maybe others can't be too serious? Of course, if you run into a personal vendetta, then there is no way.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but complain about Wang Zhi again, if Wang Zhi was taking care of him in the palace, how could he seem like Guan Gong going to the meeting alone.

When she comes back, you must abuse her well! In this fantasy, Fang Yingwu gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, after Fang Yingwu got up, he ate a few bites of breakfast and said goodbye to his family. When he passed through the atrium, he saw his father Fang Qingzhi standing on the road, as if waiting for him.

"Your visit is a grand event that has not been seen in more than ten years. You must be careful in your words and deeds, and you must not disappoint your expectations. Fang Qingzhi advised.

Fang Yingwu had a slight headache, what he was most afraid of was this kind of argument. The more political things are in this kind of thing, the less easy it will be for him, and he doesn't want to get involved in the whirlpool at all.

After a few casual words, Fang Yingwu left the house. If you look at the road, Fang Yingwu entered the palace from Xi'an Gate and Xihua Gate recently, and the privileged cabinet scholars took this route when they entered the cabinet every day.

But Fang Ying's face saint obviously can't go that way, and he must take the regular route to enter the palace. That is, the route of Tiananmen, Duanmen, and Wumen taken by the previous dynasty, but today he will go further.

From the right gate of Chang'an into the imperial city, and then all the way through the end gate, if it is the upper dynasty, it should stop here, but Fang Yingwu has been brought to the east corner gate of Fengtian Gate.

After the Fengtian Gate are the three major halls, if it is not for the heavy dà ceremony, the ordinary ministers will stop outside the Fengtian Gate. And His Majesty's edicts are generally transmitted from the east and west corners of Fengtianmen, and the ministers must also go outside the east and west corners of Fengtianmen.

Fang Yingwu waited at the east corner gate for a while, and was taken in, and at this time, the majestic Fengtian Hall appeared in front of Fang Yingwu's eyes. This is not the small Huangji Hall (Taihe Hall) that was rebuilt after it was burned down, but the first of the three real halls on a larger scale.

From the edge of the three major halls, all the way forward, through the left door and the left door in the back, Fang Yingwu was led to the front line of the Qianqing Gate.

This is the dividing line between the inner palace and the outer palace, and it is the strictest dividing line. Only in the Qianqing Gate can it be regarded as the real palace inside, and it is the living place of the Son of Heaven.

Of course, it is impossible for Fang Yingwu to enter the palace from the Qianqing Gate, there are inner left doors and inner right doors on both sides of the Qianqing Gate, and Fang Yingwu can only go from here.

However, even if Fang Yingwu had been ordered to enter the palace before, he had to stop when he arrived outside the Qianqing Gate. Wait for the inner prison guard to report to the Son of Heaven again, and get the definitive edict again, before letting Fang Yingwu in.

The waiting time was a little long, and Fang Yingwu was hindered by etiquette, so he could only stand quietly and solemnly outside the palace wall with his full crown, not daring to exceed the rudeness for half a point.

But this does not prevent his thoughts from flying, and how terrible it would be if a person could not even think about it when he was bored!

In the time period after entering, do you want to become the second man in the palace besides the Son of Heaven? Fang Yingwu thought of this question somehow.

I don't know how long I waited, Fang Yingwu felt that his legs were a little numb, and he secretly stomped his feet and moved his legs under the cover of his fat official robe.

At this time, a little eunuch rushed out of Da Nei and shouted at Fang Yingwu: "The emperor has moved to the West Garden, summon Fang Yingwu to the West Garden to meet him!" ”

Xixi Garden? Fang Yingwu was dizzy, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, but he had made a long detour from the west before he arrived outside the Qianqing Gate, and as a result, the Son of Heaven went to Xiyuan to have fun again!

Do you have to work hard to go back now? He Yingwu did not have the privilege of riding a sedan chair in the palace, and relied on his own legs to move.

Just when Fang Yingwu had some impulses to resist the will and go home to sleep, the eunuch who led the way tilted his head and said, "Go, go out through the Xihua Gate." ”

Fang Yingwu breathed a sigh of relief, this is okay, there is no need to take a long detour again, it can save a lot. (To be continued......)
