After talking with his eldest brother and knowing Lao Taishan's itinerary, Fang Yingwu also had a bottom in his heart, and he couldn't be in a hurry, so he could only wait.

In addition, he suddenly remembered his marriage, if Liu Mian returned to Beijing, it would probably be time to marry the little lady of the Liu family immediately, and it seemed that there would be no shortage of various things next year.

There was nothing to do in the county government today, so Fang Yingwu got up and greeted Fang Yingshi, planning to go home to visit his two sons, but he hadn't seen him for three or five days.

The Fang family dislikes the bad atmosphere in the county government, and most of them are peddlers and pawns, who are flamboyant and cunning, and they are unwilling to let the two one-year-old brothers grow up in the county government, so they have been kept at home.

Since Wang Lan and Wang Yu's two concubines had a son, most of their bodies and minds were put on their son, and they even lightened their thoughts of following Fang Yingwu to live in the county government.

Therefore, for two and a half years in office, Fang Dazhi County has always lived alone in the internal government, and his food and clothing have not taken advantage of the public, and he has also cut a large number of errand servants. Therefore, it is praised as having the style of the ancients, and everyone must praise the "breeze on both sleeves".

Fang Yingwu walked to the door of the back courtyard, and saw an errand officer stop and report: "Master! A distant guest arrived at the hotel and asked when the lord would be there. ”

Fang Dazhi County knew that the so-called hotel was naturally the one that He Niangzi opened opposite the county ya, and the business was said to be very prosperous, and it occupied a lot of places in the neighborhood.

It's just that later this hotel was borrowed by Wang Zhi as a secret stronghold, and a group of former West Factory "remnants" were recruited to flood it, and Fang Dazhi County just pretended not to know anything.

In the past two years, Wang Zhi has lived here every time she returns to Beijing. The phrase "guests from afar have arrived" just now is a code word. Hearing this, Fang Yingwu knew that Wang Zhi had sneaked back to Jingshi again.

In this way, the itinerary was changed. Quietly left the county office and went around the street to the back door of the hotel. Familiar with the way to a remote and exquisite inner courtyard. Sure enough, I saw Wang Zhi walking in circles in the courtyard.

Fang Yingwu laughed and said, "You little fox sneaked into the capital again?" I've been back so many times, but I haven't seen any effect. ”

Wang Zhi and Fang Yingwu entered the house and glanced at Fang Yingwu, "Who said that this time I secretly entered Beijing?" I'm coming back in the open. ”

"Huh? Why? Fang Yingwu said strangely.

Wang Zhi replied sullenly: "I suffered three small defeats in a row at the border pass, and I was recalled to Beijing to listen to the reprimand. ”

Fang Yingwu praised loudly: "I really didn't expect that a person like you would suddenly understand Taoguang's obscure way!" I have also read the Di Bao, and your defeats are really just right and wonderful, neither to let the border army hurt their muscles and bones, nor to ask the thieves to take advantage of it. ”

Wang Zhi waved her hand in annoyance: "Get out of your Taoguang obscurity!" I didn't even think about losing the battle. But now the morale of the army is not as good as in the past, and there can only be helpless! ”

The reason why Eunuch Wang is no longer shining now is that there is no reliable general like Wei Ningbo Wang Yue who can take charge of himself with his military exploits; second, Wang Zhi's prestige is not as good as in the past, and the major military leaders in the border towns are not so obedient to the dispatch; Third, after the great victory in Weininghai, the morale of the officers and soldiers of Datong was arrogant and lazy, and their combat effectiveness naturally declined.

Fang Yingwu laughed, and teased: "You have been busy for the past two years, and you can't brush up your military achievements, and you can't drum up the West Factory." really responded to the sentence: reading and learning swords are not successful, and the bamboo basket is empty. It's better to be a husband, find a way to cheat your death, and enter our house! ”

Wang Zhi stared at Fang Yingwu with a cold face. Suddenly, she smiled, "Datong Mansion lacks a Qing army and knowledge, and it is a positive five products." Why don't I recommend you to this position? That way, you'll be able to help me with the planning. ”

Fang Yingwu was taken aback, "The lower officials really don't know the soldiers. will only be in the battle for bad things, how can you help Wang Gong strategize? ”

Wang Zhi was angry for some reason. He lowered his face and asked, "Then why did you dare to persuade me to attack Weininghai three years ago?" It's annoying to be using such clumsy excuses to prevaricate me now! ”

Fang Yingwu hurriedly explained: "At that time, I was just watching the sky at night, pinching my fingers, and learned that the thief chief would first fold in Weininghai. In fact, this is very life-consuming, and I dare not count it anymore. ”

"Nonsense" Wang Zhi muttered a few words, and then ordered: "Don't leave tonight, go and accompany that He Niangzi." She complained to me that you hadn't been looking for her for two months, and if you didn't come again, she would find you a green hat to wear. ”

Fang Yingwu said angrily: "What do you think of me? Then he leaned in and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you change to Sun Xiaoniang?" ”

Wang Zhi pinched Fang Yingwu's finger fiercely, "If you want to be beautiful, let you see it and not eat it, so that you will always remember it." ”

Fang Yingwu asked rhetorically: "I have been following you in Datong all the year round, where can I see it?" ”

Wang Zhi suddenly quieted down, pondered for a moment, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he said: "Actually, there is something I don't know whether to tell you or not, I am likely to leave the border town and officially return to Beijing." ”

Fang Yingwu put away his smiling face, his expression gradually became stricter, and Wang Zhi inserted himself into the muddy water of the Jingshi, and the consequences were unpredictable.

Wang Zhi let out a long sigh and said very sadly: "I have quietly entered the palace to see Niangniang several times in the past two years, and now Niangniang feels that her body is far worse than before, but I am afraid that there are not many days left."

The niangniang in Wang Zhi's mouth naturally refers to the first favorite concubine in the inner palace and the most considerate concubine of the Son of Heaven, Wan Guifei, who is also in her fifties.

Even if Wan Guifei is not, no matter how bad her reputation is, Fang Yingwu is not good to criticize in front of Wang Zhi. After all, Wang Zhi was raised by Wan Guifei herself, and there was a family relationship similar to that of mother and son, so Fang Yingwu could only be silent.

Wang Zhi continued: "After the death of Wantong, there was no one in the Wanjia family, and the other two brothers were scoundrels in the market, and they couldn't support the stage at all. Niangniang was worried that after she died, the Wanjia family would be retaliated and liquidated, so she thought of me again. ”

If Concubine Wan Guifei blows the pillow wind violently, maybe the Son of Heaven will really re-establish the West Factory, Fang Yingwu also sighed and said: "You are so happy in the border town, why do you go back to Beijing to wade into troubled waters?" Wan Niangniang is old, I'm afraid that it won't be a few years, but you want to"

Wang Zhi looked out the window, narrowed her eyes and said, "That's not all! I'll tell you one more thing, Niangniang wants to replace the prince! ”

Fang Yingwu's face was expressionless. But in the head of the desperate search for relevant information. The dispute between the princes in the last years of Chenghua is a relatively famous thing, and I was very impressed when Fang Yingwu did research in his previous life.

In the last years of Chenghua, in addition to the veteran figure Wan Guifei. There is also a younger favorite concubine, this is Concubine Shao Chen. is different from Wan Guifei, who has no son. Concubine Shao Chen had three sons for the Son of Heaven, among which the eldest son Zhu Youqi (the father of Emperor Jiajing in another time and space) was extremely smart and very popular with the Son of Heaven.

After there were more princes, the importance of the original Dumiao prince Zhu Youzhu had obviously declined, and he did not have a favored concubine to help blow the pillow wind, and the position of the prince in the mind of the emperor was also slightly alienated.

At the same time, the feud between Wan Guifei and the crown prince Zhu Youzhu has always been irreconcilable, and it is rumored that the prince's biological mother, Ji, was killed by Wan Guifei.

Moreover, the crown prince Zhu Youzhu is more upright, and he is not used to the eunuch Liang Fang, who is fortunate to be villains, while Liang Fang is worried about the prince after he ascends the throne. You will be liquidated.

Therefore, this force led by Wan Guifei attempted to abolish the crown prince Zhu Youzhu and set up Zhu Youqi, the son of Concubine Shao Chen, as the prince of the East Palace.

After combing through his thoughts, Fang Yingwu thought silently, are those people finally going to start working now? Regarding the abolition of the crown prince, although there are only a few notes in the history books, it is not very eye-catching, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is definitely the biggest thing in the last years of the Chenghua Dynasty, and it has been entangled for a long time.

If the hope of the world is and the righteous people support the so-called virtuous prince Zhu Youzhang, he cannot inherit the unification. On the contrary, let another prince who is only ten years old ascend the throne with a treacherous and evil crowd, what will become of the country?

Wang Zhi also knew that the matter was very high, so she didn't urge Fang Yingwu to speak, and the room was silent for a while. In the end, I couldn't help but ask, "What do you think of this?" ”

Fang Yingwu woke up. suddenly found that nothing is a problem now, but the biggest problem is that Wang Zhi wants to participate?

He said angrily, "Can you leave this matter alone?" As a dead eunuch, don't always think about getting involved in royal affairs! ”

In such a fateful matter, Wang Zhi did not dare to be assertive. She is very unconfident when she suffers from gains and losses, and she can't even believe in herself. So although there is no way to respond to the scolding of the eunuch to death. But Wang Zhi was not annoyed, and asked cautiously, "Are you against it?" Is Ling Zun in the East Palace? ”

However, it was said that Fang Qingzhi finished the prince's textbook "Wenhua Great Training" last year. Reward merit according to the rules. To the Hanlin Academy, the attendant added from the five products of Zhan Shifu Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude.

In other words, Fang Qingzhi's official position has become Zuo Chunfang's Zuo Yude and a waiter at the Hanlin Academy, with a special status, and others can also be honored as "Bachelor Fang" when they see it.

Having said that, this Zuo Yude is an official of the East Palace, so Wang Zhi asked Fang Yingwu if it was "because Ling Zun was in the East Palace" because of his opposition to the establishment of another prince.

Fang Yingwu didn't know where to start for a while, "More than that, you don't understand!" ”

According to the original historical trend, these clowns tried to abolish the crown prince, which was impossible to succeed, and they should support the abolished prince only if they were full.

And now Zhu Youzhu of the East Palace is the eldest son of the emperor, and he has not lost his morality, but he is also very virtuous. As a rising star of Shilin Qingliu, Fang Yingwu must support the current prince, which is a necessary correctness of politics, otherwise he will be scolded to death by public opinion!

Even from a "long-term perspective", the son of the current crown prince Zhu Youzhu is the future Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Youqi's son is Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi. If he is still in the court decades later, is it comfortable to face the foolish Emperor Zhengde, or is it comfortable to face the sinister and mean Emperor Jiajing?

Hearing Fang Yingwu's half-cut words, Wang Zhi still felt the clouds and mountains covered in mist, and couldn't help but lose her temper: "I just don't understand!" You say one that I understand! ”

Fang Yingwu was inconvenient to tell Wang Zhi about these future things, so he had to pretend to be a ghost and said: "I just pinched my fingers and calculated, I will be in the future but still in the East Palace today!" ”

Wang Zhi sneered a few times: "Who said that calculating the heavenly machine will consume lifespan, and I dare not calculate it anymore?" ”

"Look at it, if the East Palace is unstable in the next two years, there will definitely be celestial warnings!" Fang Yingwu incarnated as an old god stick and swore an oath. Even if the characters have changed, astronomy and geography will never be transferred by human will, but there have been several changes in the last years. (To be continued......)
