On the west side of the royal road outside the Chengtian Gate, the General Administration Division. When the yamen were preparing to seal the New Year, the General Administration Division, as the central yamen of the imperial court's correspondence, gradually became idle, and there were not many recitals at this time. However, due to the characteristics of the Yamen of the General Administration Department, it must be held to the end.

Mr. Zhang, the general political envoy, sat leisurely in the public room drinking hot tea, pondering what books to read today to pass the time.

He had just taken a random copy from the shelf, and before he could read the cover, he heard panicked footsteps outside the door. Then a scribe cried out, "My lord! The magistrate of Wanping County, Fang Yingwu, came to send the song in person! ”

Fang Yingwu has been the focus of attention recently, so Master Zhang ordered: "Bring Fang Zhixian in, and this official will meet him in person." ”

After a short time, Fang Yingwu was brought to the lobby of the general political envoy and handed over the recital with his own hands. Mr. Zhang unfolded the recital and quickly browsed it a few times, and the content was very simple, that is, the resignation of the official.

couldn't help but sigh, and Zhang Tong's political envoy persuaded: "Fang Zhixian can just wait quietly for the court to deal with it, why not resign?" Even if you are assigned to other states and counties, it is not a kind of grinding, you are still a young man, and more hardships are not necessarily a bad thing.

If you resign and return, then your fame will be gone, and what you did before will not be wasted? You must know that you can stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of no firewood, so you should take the resignation back! ”

Mr. Zhang is kind-hearted, he still has the subtext that he hasn't said: Then Liu Cifu made a resignation, and you Fang Yingwu also resigned, but your weight is far behind. Liu Cifu must be a real drama and a fake, you should probably make the fake come true, and there is no point in topping up like Liu Cifu.

Fang Yingwu looked sad and angry. Generously said: "I am ashamed to be listed in the imperial court with the national beetle!" Although it is lonely, what a pity for yourself! Knowing that you can't do it. Although tens of millions of people have gone to me! ”

Mr. Zhang sighed again: "You can say what others can't, and my generation is ashamed!" But what good is it to have broken bones? Think deeper! ”

Fang Yingwu replied: "Xiaguan has already thought twice, and nothing has changed!" After that, he didn't take it back, and turned around and left.

Zhang Tongzheng watched Fang Yingwu walk out of the lobby door, and heard him singing: "I don't hate life mistakes, but I want to repay the country's kindness." If the four seas can be appeased, why should this body be discussed! ”

When the news came out, everyone who heard it sighed and sighed. Fang Yingwu was under continuous siege because of the impeachment of the second assistant, and he resisted until today, and was finally forced to resign on the last day before the official seal. This is tantamount to the end of an egg hitting a stone, but it is also a bit tragic.

Later, with the arrival of the New Year's holiday, the major yamen were sealed one after another, and the imperial court basically stopped operating. All in all, after the New Year, it will be at least after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

But almost certainly, once the New Year is over. Fang Yingwu's official position should come to an end. The second assistant and the magistrate of Wanping County are in front of them, and the imperial court will definitely keep the second assistant.

Fang Yingwu did not let the county government know about the resignation of the official and the dismissal, so as to avoid more trouble, and Lian Zhuoshu was also personally sent to the General Political Envoy.

After he returned from the General Administration Department, he sealed the Great Seal of the Governor. The county government was declared to be on holiday. When I returned home to see my father, I listened to my father Fang Qing's way: "You say that being in the limelight is this limelight?" But it's okay that I didn't lose face to my family. Would it be better to be broken than to be broken?"

Fang Yingwu was speechless in his heart. Father, don't comfort people if you can't comfort people, it sounds so awkward. What would rather be a broken jade than a complete son, I can withstand this blow.

A few days later, it was the first day of the first month of the twentieth year of Chenghua. According to the usual practice, on this day, the New Year's Day pilgrimage will be held, and the civil and military officials will enter the palace to make a pilgrimage to congratulate, including Fang Yingwu, who has been punished for "exempting from the court".

Fang Yingwu followed his father into the imperial city and came to Fengtianmen, waiting for the court meeting to begin. Fang Qingzhi, as a Hanlin official, first went to the Fengtian Temple to wait for the holy driver, and Fang Yingwu could only continue to wait outside.

If nothing else, this is probably Fang Yingwu's last court meeting, and he can't help but feel a little sympathetic in the eyes of acquaintances.

Li Yu, the imperial history of the head of the courtyard, walked in front of Fang Yingwu, shook his head and sighed, and patted Fang Yingwu on the shoulder; Zhang Peng, the secretary of the military department, walked in front of Fang Yingwu, shook his head and sighed, and patted Fang Yingwu on the shoulder;

Tu Yun, the deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, walked in front of Fang Yingwu, shook his head and sighed, and patted Fang Yingwu on the shoulder; Hong Tingchen of the Criminal Department walked in front of Fang Yingwu, shook his head and sighed, and patted Fang Yingwu on the shoulder;

Xiang Chengxian, the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, walked in front of Fang Yingwu, shook his head and sighed, and patted it! Fang Yingwu knocked off Xiang Chengxian's hand and said disdainfully: "What kind of senior are you pretending!" ”

Xiang Chengxian said in a low voice: "You have been refusing help from others, and you have been repaired, what is your idea?" Is there some ambush and Jedi counterattack today? ”

Fang Yingwu said calmly: "You guessed very wrong, today I just came to worship and congratulate, and there is nothing else." ”

"I don't believe it," Xiang Chengxian said from the bottom of his heart. In his heart, if he stopped like this, it would not be a prescription.

But this time Xiang Dagongzi really guessed wrong, Fang Yingwu didn't do anything today, and it was peaceful until the end of the court meeting. I feel very confused about this eldest prince, could it be that Fang Yingwu is really tired of being an official and plans to go home to recuperate?

The first day of the first month passed, that is, the second day of the first month, there were no official activities on this day, the princes of the imperial court were busy paying New Year's greetings, and the Beijing division once again entered the time when business cards were flying all over the sky.

Fang Yingwu stood in the vestibule of his house, standing with his hands in his hands and looking leisurely into the distance, his expression was indescribable, Xiang Chengxian stood beside him, and asked stubbornly: "Brother Fang Xian, what do you want?" If you don't explain it, I won't leave for my brother. ”

Fang Yingwu suspected him of scratching the noise, stretched out his index finger, and elegantly "shhh

Pretend to be struck by lightning! Xiang Chengxian was about to open his mouth again, when suddenly there was a muffled sound of "boom" from nowhere, as if it was thunder but not thunder.

Xiang Chengxian was taken aback, was it really thundering? Then he felt the ground suddenly shake a few times under his feet, and his body shook involuntarily.

It's not just the eldest prince like this, but everyone in the capital feels it. Experienced people quickly judged that this was an earthquake, and it was an earthquake in the Jingshi area!

After reacting, Xiang Dagongzi's face was full of shock and shock! He looked at the calm Fang Yingwu, as if he saw a half-immortal aura enveloping him! Could this be the one who has the destiny of heaven?

In these years, earthquakes and celestial changes are both heavy anomalies, and according to the theory of celestial and human induction, this is regarded as a warning from heaven to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, not to mention the earthquake that occurred in the Jingshi area, the earthquake that occurred during the New Year's festival!

At this time, no one in the court officials has the heart to pay New Year's greetings, and people with a little political sensitivity understand the meaning, where is it still the time for the New Year? Almost all the ministers gathered at the yamen to await further news.

Chenghua Tianzi was already superstitious about gods and Buddhas, and he was also at a loss at this time, and was frightened by the warning from heaven. Immediately ordered to stop the activities of celebrating the New Year in the palace, and waited for the announcement outside.

Subsequently, urgent reports from all parties were transmitted to Jingshi, and the overall situation was also counted. On the same day, there was an earthquake from Jingshi to Xuanfu, Tianshou Mountain, Miyun, Juyongguan, and Gubeikou were the strictest, and the city walls and piers were cracked, and the mausoleum was also disturbed, and the people were crushed to death.

The imperial court's allocation of money and grain from Taicang and the relief of the soldiers from the Beijing camp are the proper meaning of the question, and they are carried out in an orderly manner, but everyone knows that the most important thing is, how to explain this earthquake? For what is Heaven warning for? Who is responsible for this warning?

If you want to study this issue, you have to go back in time and see what happened in the imperial court recently, which is nothing more than Lin Jun, a member of the criminal department, risking his life to impeach Liang Fang and Jixiao, and go to prison to be beheaded; The magistrate of Wanping County should impeach Liu Jue for misleading the country and is about to be dismissed.
