Chapter 585: Verbal Argument (I)
Regarding this time to enter the palace and face the saint, there are two things that Fang Yingwu was most worried about before. The first is that I am worried that the answer will not be correct and that it will affect my reputation.
After all, there were many followers of the face saint this time, and the Son of Heaven was not secretly summoned, so there were so many eunuchs watching in public. Therefore, although the palace walls are majestic, it is estimated that they will not be able to stop the rumors, and if they are a little careless in their words and deeds, they will cause internal and external criticism.
What's even more terrifying is that it may cause all kinds of distortions that do not hurt your back when you stand and speak, such as being a little more respectful in front of the Son of Heaven, and you may be deducted from a flattering hat.
The second is that I am worried that when I face the saint, there will be people on the left and right of the Son of Heaven who do not deal with it, which will make my situation even more difficult. So far, this concern has become a reality, and the great eunuch Liang Fang is obviously hostile to him.
Could it be that Liang Fang deliberately appeared here today? Fang Yingwu couldn't help but think, it is said that a popular eunuch like Liang Fang, who undertakes a lot of errands, does not necessarily have to be by the side of the Son of Heaven every day, and it may not be a coincidence that he appears today.
The Son of Heaven is not good at greeting and dealing with strangers, and he stammers a little when he speaks, after Fang Yingwu finished the service, Liang Fang first interjected a few words next to him, and after this interruption, the Son of Heaven didn't know how to open his mouth for a while. What's more, the Son of Heaven had the heart to ask Fang Yingwu a few questions, but he hadn't figured out how to ask them yet.
The Son of Heaven didn't speak, and Fang Yingwu could only stand dryly, and he had to lower his eyes and not look casually, so as not to commit a big disrespect.
Eunuch Liang knew the temperament of the Son of Heaven very well, and at this time he seemed to be talkative, but it would not provoke the disgust of the Son of Heaven, on the contrary, it would be regarded as a relief.
So Liang Fang spoke again, as if he was talking about common words. smiled at the Son of Heaven and said, "Emperor! The slave and maid overheard something going on outside. said that in the past few days, their Fang family has been in full swing, and the threshold has been broken. I don't know, I thought the cabinet had moved to their house. ”
It's much easier to talk to acquaintances. Zhu Jianshen turned to Liang Fang and asked, "Why is this?" ”
Liang Fang glanced at Fang Yingwu and replied, "Those ministers of the outer court, when they heard that the emperor was going to summon Lord Fang, they rushed to Fang's house in a swarm.
It is probably because the princes have not seen the emperor for a long time, and they have all saved a belly of words, and they want to entrust Lord Fang to transfer them to the emperor. Xu is to ask Lord Fang to speak out, Xu is to ask Lord Fang to be bitter about state affairs, and it is possible that Xu is to ask Lord Fang to impeach my generation in person. ”
Zhu Jianshen frowned lightly when he heard this, and he was quite disgusted with this feeling of being coaxed by the ministers. Isn't it just to call Fang Yingwu over to meet. As for the yelling, does it seem like something terrible has happened? And private discussions must be indispensable to themselves, and they can't be eliminated if they want to.
I have to say that Liang Fang has been by the side of the Son of Heaven for a long time, and his grasp of the psychological condition of the Son of Heaven can be called meticulous and wonderful. Everyone in the palace knows that they want to please the Son of Heaven, but why can Liang Fang come out? It is not for nothing that he can be the most favored, this kind of taking advantage of the psychological state of the Son of Heaven without being able to show deliberate proportions is the most difficult.
Liang Gonggong knew that it was not so much that the Son of Heaven did not like to deal with strangers, but that he was tired of meeting with foreign ministers from the bottom of his heart.
The reason is simple. To sum up, there are about two things, one is that the Son of Heaven hates that way of talking, he doesn't want to be so tired for an hour or two in a serious way, and he doesn't want to discuss trivial matters with the minister;
The second is that the Son of Heaven hates those conversations. Don't want to listen to endless preaching. He knew that he was not a good emperor, but whenever he met with the minister, there was a high probability that he would be poured into the sage academics.
The fathers and the fathers went up again. None of the previous emperors acted like this, so the Son of Heaven actually knew in his heart that it was wrong for him to do so. But years of inertia have built up. I am used to a comfortable and comfortable way of living, so I don't bother to bother to correct it.
What's more, he found that even the monarch and the minister were so distant. The government can also operate, but it is nothing more than a little less efficient after relying on official communication, but in exchange for their own ears. Fortunately, now the four seas are peaceful, and there are no major events except for some disasters and famines in various places every year.
All in all, Chenghua Tianzi knows that he has done something wrong, but he does not want to be talked about by others, so Fang Yingwu calls this an ostrich mentality. Therefore, after the Son of Heaven ordered to summon Fang Yingwu, he was very disgusted with the minister's fuss and discussions, as if he had failed to fulfill his responsibilities before.
The Son of Heaven is a very affectionate person, Fang Yingwu saw that the Son of Heaven was slightly teased by Liang Fang, so he became bored, and felt that he could no longer be speechless, so he stepped forward and said to the Son of Heaven: "The situation is not as Liang Fang said"
Liang Fang interrupted Fang Yingwu with a grin, "Could it be that what I said is false?" Do you want to impeach me for bullying? ”
Fang Yingwu was not disturbed by Liang Fang, he knew where the focus was now, so he didn't pay attention to Liang Fang, and still said to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty doesn't know, at that time, all the princes came one after another, and the minister's family was full of friends, and it was indeed for the minister to be summoned by His Majesty." ”
Then Fang Yingwu paused for a long time, and finally said as if he was very entangled: "If you want the ministers to tell the truth, it means that the princes miss Your Majesty Tianyan, and the court meeting is also close to the end of the world, and many ministers don't even know what Your Majesty looks like."
I heard that there are many portraits in the palace, and there are loyal people who have the courage to ask His Majesty for one or two, and ask for them to go home to observe and worship, but I didn't expect that it made Liang Gonggong misunderstood! ”
Chenghua Tianzi likes art very much, and he is also very proficient in calligraphy and painting, and he also has a group of calligraphers and painters in the palace, and often makes portraits.
Hearing that Fang Yingwu took the initiative to mention the topic of painting, the Son of Heaven was unconsciously a lot happier, he liked this topic, and it was also a recognition that others wanted to ask for paintings. Finally, Chrysostom said, "Yes, I will give you two pieces, and take them back to enjoy them." If there is a good poem, it can be presented to the palace. ”
Fang Yingwu hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Thank you for your grace, the minister has nothing to repay, only the liver and brain." ”
Is that okay? Liang Fang was quite unhappy in his heart, he had already provoked the disgust of the Son of Heaven, but it was dissolved by Fang Yingwu lightly.
Today he was supposed to go outside to supervise the work, but for the sake of Fang Yingwu, he deliberately stayed by the side of the Son of Heaven. So far, he has made two moves, one is to talk about things late with Fang Ying, in an attempt to provoke dissatisfaction; Once again, he used "private discussions" to provoke the disgust of the Son of Heaven, as long as the Son of Heaven was bored with the other party, then the goal would be achieved.
But he didn't expect Fang Yingwu to deal with it skillfully, not at all like a hairy boy in his early twenties, telling a joke, asking for a painting, and solving it all.
However, Liang's father-in-law was unhappy, but he was not discouraged. The front is all appetizers, just to test the prescription of the first meeting, and the killer feature is still in the back and has not been used. (To be continued......)
PS: Big Kavin, this scene is hard to think about, and I will make up for it tomorrow.
