Chapter 659: What is Right
The conscience of heaven and earth, even if Mu Wencai Mu Bulang swore in public that he would "take refuge in Yin Min and die for the whole family", he would dare to say it, because he really did not take refuge in Yin Min, and Fang Yingwu was completely indiscriminate.
He Mu Wencai, as one of the literary selections, is directly stuck at the threshold of official selection, according to tradition and influence is the second most important position in the Ministry of Officials, and his actual power even exceeds that of the retreat squire, which can be said to be full of weight, and it is impossible to find a backer indiscriminately.
If you want to take refuge, you will take refuge in the biggest one, and the one who needs him the most, so as to maximize your personal interests, what is the strength of taking refuge in Yin Min? Yin Min himself is a scholar in the Ministry of Officials, so he really needs a Wenxuan Shilang with overlapping powers to take refuge?
Thinking of this, Mu Wen temporarily forgot about his extremely disadvantageous situation, and couldn't help but secretly ridicule the other party in his heart.
No matter how shrewd you are, there will always be times when you are confused, do you think that the officials of the ministry must take refuge in their bosses? Since you touched the wrong temple door, don't blame others for plotting against you when you die in the future!
Mu Wencai gradually woke up from his state of confusion and stared at Fang Yingwu with hatred. However, at this time, Fang Yingwu did not move or speak, just like an old monk in a fixed position, and Fang Cai's impassioned appearance was like two people.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yingwu's good brother Xiang Chengxian leaned over, picked up the imperial history shelf, and reprimanded him officially: "This official supervises the imperial history Xiang Chengxian, and I want to ask Master Mu here, is what Fang Shiyi said true?" It is really an injustice to wronged Zhongliang to send Master Fang to Yunnan, is it Yin Shangshu who instructed you to do it? ”
A bunch of idiots can't even see this? What Yin Tianguan instigated, of course, it was fabricated out of thin air Mu Wencai pretended to snort disdainfully, and he opened his mouth to answer.
But Mu Wencai's words only came to his lips. He suddenly heard Fang Yingwu raise his eyelids, and said to himself, "You have to think twice before you speak." A mistake will never be recovered. ”
Mu Wencai was puzzled, but the person who could sit in the position of the head of the Wenxuan Division was definitely not stupid. It's just because I'm stupid today. So Master Mu quickly realized something, so he closed his mouth and started to be stunned, the question seemed to be very deep
It is said that Yin Min, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, and Liu Jue, a university scholar, are allies in the same township, and Liu Jue and Wan'an are deeply contradictory most of the time, and Liu Jue scolds Wan'an in private or in public not once or twice.
Although Liu Jue and Wan An have taken the same position on the issue of the crown prince since the beginning of this year, it is only a temporary compromise for the sake of common interests, which does not mean that they have completely turned enemies into friends.
In this case. Yin Min, the secretary of the Ministry who is the horn of Liu Jue, is naturally not the dish of Shoufu Wan'an, and Wan Shoufu has always wanted to replace Yin Min for many years.
However, Liu Jue, who is also a university scholar, was hindered by this, and Yin Min, the secretary of the ministry, was also very powerful, so Wan Angui was the first assistant but he could not help Yin Min, or in other words, he couldn't help Liu Jue and Yin Min's political alliance, and he couldn't completely control the ministry.
But the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials is really critical, and Wan Shoufu can't help but care, at this time, Mu Wencai in Wenxuan Shilang is naturally a talent that Wan Shoufu needs very much. In the eyes of Wan Shoufu, the importance is far greater than ordinary people.
In accordance with the principles of "the greatest" and "the most needed", in Mu Wencai's eyes, the most worthy person is Shoufu Wan'an, and the two slaps rang out. Of course, Wan Shoufu also welcomes this. After having Mu Wencai, Wan Shoufu planted a deep nail in the ministry.
It's just that the matter is very low-key, and outsiders don't know it. Only Yin Min, the secretary of the ministry, was slightly aware of some internal signs, but he didn't react too much. What's more, Yin Tianguan's current ambition is to enter the cabinet. For the time being, I am too lazy to be more serious with Mu Wencai.
Shoufu Wan'an couldn't remove the Tianguan Yin Min who had the support of the scholar Liu Jue, but the Tianguan Yin Min couldn't remove the Wenxuan Shilang Zhongmu Wencai, who was supported by the first assistant, so he formed a strange political balance in a small area of the ministry.
As for Mu Wencai's bad treatment of Fang Qingzhi that day. It's certainly not a whim, nor is it a boring bully, for two main reasons:
First, Mu Wencai was instructed by Shoufu Wan'an to suppress the officials of the East Palace Prince's faction, and Fang Qingzhi was naturally justified as an iconic figure. It's just that I didn't expect Fang Yingwu to be so difficult that the development of the situation was completely out of control.
The second is that after Mu Wencai made up his mind to take refuge in Wan Shoufu, and then faced the Fang family that had declined, especially Fang Yingwu, who had befriended because of his master, he had to subconsciously show that he was deliberately cold and alienated, symbolizing his break with the past, so as to curry favor with Wan Shoufu.
Therefore, Master Mu knew that there was of course only one correct answer to the question asked by Xiang Chengxian, that is, to deny that it was related to Yin Shangshu and not to admit that Yin Shangshu instructed him. But what about after that?
Facts are correct and politics are two different things
If he denies that he has anything to do with Yin Shangshu, then there will only be two consequences: one is that the responsibility is all borne by himself, and he denies that someone instructed him. Then he will face the crazy impeachment of the imperial history, coupled with the help of people with intentions, his position will be shaky, and Wan Shoufu may not be able to keep himself.
The second is to be dug up about his relationship with Wan Shoufu (this kind of thing can't be hidden), and then it is believed that Wan Shoufu instructed him to persecute Zhongliang. In the end, Wan Shoufu was dragged into the water, and with Wan Shoufu's temperament, he was bound to be angry at his own disadvantage and cause trouble.
As long as Mu Wencai is not crazy, he knows that the above two consequences are not something he can afford. If you don't want these two consequences, then the only way is to admit that you were instructed by Yin Min, the secretary of the ministry, according to Fang Yingwu's words.
This is not the correct fact, but it is the correct political policy. For Mu Wencai, accusing Yin Min is equivalent to letting Yin Min carry the black pot for Wan Shoufu, which can make Wan Shoufu completely stay out of the matter, so as to support himself wholeheartedly.
Secondly, for Wan Shoufu, he is very happy to see his political opponent Yin Min being bitten, and it is not a problem to take advantage of the situation to attack Yin Min, and maybe he can remove Yin Min and take the ministry for himself.
It is beneficial to oneself and to others, which answer is really correct, and do you need to think about it? As for the evidence, there are accusations from the victim's family, and there are executors Mu Wencai who admitted it personally, not to mention that Daming allowed the Taoist officials to hear about it, isn't this enough?
I don't know how long I was in a daze, Mu Wen closed his eyes and sighed, and said: "What Fang Yingwu said is good, it is indeed Yin Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials who instructed the official. ”
Needless to say, everyone in the officialdom understands it. The scholar Liu Kuo and the Fang family are mortal enemies, and Liu Jue's comrade Yin Min's motive for persecuting Fang Qingzhi still needs to be explained?
The crowd was silent, and everyone was shocked, but they didn't expect Mu Wencai to really admit directly that he was instructed by Yin Min! Could it be a sudden discovery of conscience?
Today, the imperial historians came here to watch, just to see the result of the fight between two famous officials, but they never expected to make such a big fish, it was the first official of the Ministry of Heaven under the university scholar!
Some people can't help but think of an officialdom joke in their minds: There is no trivial matter involving the Fang family, but is it really just a joke? (To be continued......)
