Chapter 263: A Long Way to Go...... (Above)
Fang Yingwu followed behind his father and went to the front hall to meet the guests. But I saw that Lin Jun was really about the same age as his father, he was thirty and zero, and his appearance was middle-aged, but also a little elegant.
And Lin Jun and Fang Qingzhi saluted each other, and then noticed the young man who was following behind Fang Qing, and looked at it very curiously.
This Lin Director and Fang Qingzhi are the same age as each other, and they have similar temperaments, and everyone mixes well, so the relationship is naturally very close, so he has come to Fang's house not a few times, but he has never seen the young man in front of him.
Of course, Lin Jun also understood that those who could accompany Fang Qingzhi out to meet guests were at least relatives. He asked first, "Who is this young man?"
Fang Qingzhi replied a little proudly: "This is a little dog, who has just come from his hometown, waiting for next year's spring competition." ”
Lin Jun was a little surprised, he did know that Fang Qingzhi had a son, and he had also heard of Fang Yingwu's deeds, the eighteen-year-old was really eye-catching.
But just now he really didn't think about Fang Yingwu. Because in his eyes, Fang Yingwu stood behind Fang Qingzhi, feeling like the two brothers were a little bit more
Father Fang Qingzhi is too young, and he is only thirty-three years old this year; His son Fang Yingwu has gone through ups and downs, and his temperament is more mature. The father is not like the father, and the son is not like the son, so it is no wonder that Lord Lin misunderstood in his heart, but these are not the most important things.
Fang Yingwu also stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen Senior Lin." ”
When the guest and host sat down, Fang Yingwu could naturally only stand next to his father and pour tea and water, while Fang Qingzhi restrained his heart from showing off his son, and took the initiative to ask, "Brother Lin Xian suddenly visited tonight." What's the point? ”
Lin Jun replied: "Now that the state affairs are changing, it is the time for my generation to rise up. Today I heard something in the yamen. I came to discuss with Brother Fang. ”
Fang Qingzhi asked: "What's the matter?" ”
Fang Yingwu sighed secretly when he heard this, not knowing if it was because he was too demanding, too strict in his standards, or what. I always feel that my father is still far behind.
As the saying goes, seeing the subtleties and knowing, his father Fang Qingzhi is ranked in the Hanlin Qing Dynasty, and he is the alternate yamen of the cabinet, known as the central cardinal and the close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the quality of the yamen of the foreign dynasties is absolutely different.
So when it comes to being well-informed, my father should be better than Lin Jun, who is the ordinary director of the sixth department, but judging from this performance just now, it is obvious that Lin Jun has heard some news but his father is still slow to know, which can explain a lot of the situation. An inner court Hanlin is actually not as well-informed as the head of the outer court
Fang Yingwu shook his head again. Maybe it's because I'm too careful, not everyone is a political talent, and people who don't have a cheap advantage of the unpredictable prophet like themselves, most people are still mean, why expect too much from their father, is it that they subconsciously hope that their father Jackie Chan will be the second generation of officials?
According to the distractions below, I only heard Lord Lin say: "I heard that there are a few inappropriate things in the saint, and Zhou Shou, the eldest brother of the Queen Mother, is now Qingyunbo, and he wants to be promoted to Qingyunhou." At the same time, the second brother of the Queen Mother will be promoted to the position of Chang Ningbo, this is only afraid of violating the etiquette system, what should be done in the family of Queen Xiaozhuang Rui? ”
Fang Yingwu was immediately glad that he was a professional before he crossed, otherwise this passage would definitely be cloudy and foggy, and he didn't know what to do. I don't understand what Lord Lin said, which queen mother is it? Which is Queen Xiaozhuang Rui? Not to mention thinking further.
The queen mother in this passage refers to the mother of today's son, the queen mother of Zhou (still alive). She is also the concubine of Zhou Guifei of the Emperor Yingzong Dynasty, and her mother is expensive by her son. Now there is also the title of Queen Mother.
It is said that the queen of the Yingzong Dynasty is the highly respected Empress Qian (ten years ago), and only Empress Qian can be called the queen mother after the death of the first emperor. And Zhou Guifei, the biological mother of the Son of Heaven, is not qualified to be called the queen mother.
But Zhou Guifei is angry, and she has the spirit of a small peasant who refuses to suffer at all (originally from a peasant family), and she worked hard to give birth to a son and become an emperor, but Weishenme wants to be below the woman surnamed Qian?
For these etiquette issues, Mrs. Zhou fought with the courtiers for several rounds, you came and went, and the courtiers were stalked by Mrs. Zhou and had no choice, and finally Mrs. Zhou got the title of the queen mother and satisfied her illusory wishes.
But Concubine Zhou Guifei only became the queen mother, and Queen Qian's honorific title was Empress Dowager Ciyi, which still suppressed Mrs. Zhou. Therefore, hundreds of officials call the Empress Dowager Zhou the Empress Dowager, and there is no need to add any words in front of it.
Insert a digression, the phrase "Chenghua Dynasty is multi-extreme" is not a joke, many of the first time in the Ming Dynasty happened in the Chenghua Dynasty. For example, the first walking petition activity of the Ming Dynasty was also triggered by the Empress Dowager Zhou of the Chenghua Dynasty, who had the spirit of small farmers
Ten years ago, the Empress Dowager Qian died, and the Empress Dowager had to find something awkward on the funeral issue, and she was born in a small low-level peasant family, so she had no reverence for the etiquette issue, so she did not allow the Empress Dowager Qian to be buried with the first emperor, and wanted to leave this opportunity to herself.
This blatant violation of the law of etiquette aroused great anger among the officials, and two hundred courtiers gathered outside the Wenhua Gate to protest, which was the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and of course far from the first time. Empress Dowager Zhou was not the Jiajing of later generations, she was frightened by this meeting, and then she had to give in.
Gossip aside, Lin Jun also mentioned Empress Xiaozhuang Rui in his words, which is the nickname of the Empress Dowager Qian, referring to the Empress Dowager Qian.
The meaning of the whole paragraph translated into the vernacular is that the old lady Zhou in the palace is going to desperately reap the benefits for her family again, not only wants to promote the eldest brother from earl to marquis, but also wants the second brother to be the earl directly, which is too arbitrary to ignore the etiquette system, which is a blatant violation of the court etiquette!
First, there is no such rule, she is not even the queen mother, so she wants the Zhou family to occupy a marquis and an earl, how can this make sense. Second, the Empress Dowager Qian, who is more noble than her, has only one earl in her family, why does the Empress Dowager Zhou's family want to surpass the Qian family, and where is the Gangchang?
If it is purely a housework, Fang Yingwu said that he can understand very much, there are too many excellent women who are desperately trying to benefit their mother's family, and Mrs. Zhou is not bad
However, the royal housework is obviously not an ordinary housework, it is a matter of etiquette, and it is normal to cause dissatisfaction and disgust among the ministers. Moreover, the Zhou family and Wan Guifei's ten thousand families are arrogant and presumptuous, and their reputation is extremely poor, and the minister has been unpleasant to them for a long time.
What's more, the importance of the word "li" is by no means something that Fang Yingwu, a pragmatist traverser, can understand. If he traveled to the early years of Jiajing, he would definitely not go to Zuoshunmen to participate in the Great Rite Discussion.
Lin Jun continued to say impassionedly: "There are some things, but you can't do it again, you can't do it again, the queen mother has broken the etiquette law not once, we as courtiers can't ignore it, little brother, I want to go up and admonish me!" What does Brother Fang think? ”
Lin Jun asked "What does Brother Fang think", not really asking Fang Qingzhi what he thinks, but "Please support Brother Fang", he is here to connect. This is very common among the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone who engages in this kind of thing has to form a group of parties to echo each other.
The corners of Fang Yingwu's mouth were lowered at forty-five degrees and slowly squinted, this Lord Lin is also young and hot-blooded, it is understandable, he is just a seven-rank master who has just entered the officialdom. Look at his father again, how stable he is, he is worthy of being a cadre who has been trained in prison, which is stronger than Director Lin.
Fang Yingwu felt that Mrs. Zhou only took advantage of her own one-third of an acre of land, and basically did not interfere in the government affairs, if it was not a major issue of right and wrong, Weishenme must provoke her?
And Fang Yingwu knew that the Empress Dowager Zhou was very capable of living, not only outlived her son Chenghua Tianzi, but also survived for a long time, only a little earlier than her grandson Hongzhi Tianzi died, and almost survived to the Zhengde Dynasty and became the Empress Dowager Zeng.
Isn't it troublesome to offend a person whose identity supreme can't be eliminated at all, who has a very calculating temper, and who can live for a long time?
is not afraid of other strongmen Fang Yingwu, don't look at the current scenery of Shoufu Wan'an and others, once the Son of Heaven is changed, it is all over, but the Empress Dowager Zhou is obviously different. Don't forget, the next emperor Hongzhi Tianzi is now also raised by the Empress Dowager Zhou's side and is deeply protected by the Empress Dowager Zhou, otherwise he would have been assassinated by Concubine Wan.
Is it worth it for this kind of "trivial" thing? When Fang Yingwu was thinking about it, he saw his father "snap" on the table, his face was angry, and he opened his mouth to say something.
No way! Fang Yingwu was shocked and quickly withdrew his praise for his father's steadiness, and he quickly interrupted his father's speech by coughing violently.
Lord Lin Junlin turned his head and looked at it, and asked with concern: "The virtuous nephew is from the south, so you should pay attention to your body when it is warm and cold, and be careful of the wind and cold." ”
Fang Qingzhi gradually understood his son's character, and he reprimanded him with a strict fatherly posture that did not give face: "You are used to being weird, if you have any nonsense, just say it, don't pretend here!" (To be continued......)
