Chapter 657: No Reward for Meritorious Merit......
Fang Yingwu listened to Mr. Yan's brazen words to a certain extent, and did not get angry, but thought about it before saying: "Ming people don't say dark words, I know what you want."
However, as long as the Liu family destroys the marriage contract, I have nothing to do, and this marriage will be abandoned. So why do you come to me? Just let Liu Ge regret his marriage! β
Mr. Yan took this doubt as a precursor to Fang Yingwu's resignation, at least indicating that Fang Yingwu was beginning to consider ending the marriage. couldn't help but smile: "On both sides of you, Liu Ge is respected, and the Fang family is humble."
If you let Liu Ge Lao regret the marriage, it will be bad to hear and damage your reputation, but if your Fang family takes the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, you can save the dignity of both sides, and others will not say anything about you. β
Fang Yingwu was noncommittal to Mr. Yan's words, but asked again: "Listening to what Your Excellency meant, could it be that Mu Bulang treated his father harshly, or that Yin Tianguan deliberately instructed him?" In order to create an incident, manipulate and threaten our family? β
Mr. Yan's expression was stern, "I don't know why Lord Fang thought this, but I can say for sure that Mu Langzhong's disrespect for Ling Zun has nothing to do with Lord Yin, the proprietor of my family. The proprietor of my family has lofty ambitions, and he will definitely not deliberately lower himself and make it difficult for Lingzun! β
"That's good," Fang Yingwu said casually, but he didn't know where he had drifted away. Mr. Yan waited for a while, but he didn't see any clear reply from Fang Yingwu, so he urged: "Has Lord Fang figured it out?" β
Fang Yingwu's face suddenly changed, and he slammed the table case with a "snap", and scolded Mr. Yan: "Our Yingwu is from the family of Tsinghua Guixuan and the generation of gold lists, and he acts openly and uprightly, and has never been threatened by despicability!"
You're just a no-brainer. also dare to act for the tiger, show your teeth and dance your claws! It's time to roll! lest we defile the faΓ§ade of our house! β
Mr. Yan was stunned, and he didn't know what Fang Yingwu said. The one who scolded was called a fierce literati like him, and he was scolded by a father and son like Fang Yingwu. only has low self-esteem, and can't even fight back.
His face also changed and changed, and in the end, Mr. Yan could only drop a sentence: "Don't say it unexpectedly, you are so self-conscious, there is a time when you come to beg for it!" Don't think that fame is a talisman! β
Fang Yingwu waved his sleeves, got up and went back to the inner courtyard, and the guests were not sent.
And the next day, it was the day when the Metropolitan Procuratorate summoned him for questioning. Today, Fang Yingwu did not escape, and once again rejected his father's proposal of "bearing the guilt of thorn and breaking his tail to survive". Majestic and high-spirited to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
didn't admit it, and was taken aback when he entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Mo Daojun traveled early, and there were even more early pedestrians, Mu Wencai actually came earlier than himself, in addition, there were many imperial histories who came to watch, and even Dongchang sent eunuchs to sit in the hall to observe.
Fang Yingwu greeted the surroundings easily, and there were many of his acquaintances in the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate. But others can only be silent, today is really not optimistic about the ending of Fang Yingwu, this calmness is more of a fearless posture.
A dispute between Fang Yingwu and Mu Wencai. It should have been possible for the deputy capital to come to the trial, but the left deputy capital Yushi said that he was not sick, and the right deputy capital Yushi Tu Tu and Fang Yingwu were fellow villagers and needed to avoid suspicion. So in the end, it was Li Yu who came to inquire in person.
Master Li understood Fang Yingwu's nature, and when he saw Fang Yingwu's comfortable appearance, he secretly thought in his heart. Could it be that Fang Yingwu had any idea to pass the test?
In this way, Li Dazhong sat in the middle of the hall, and next to him was the eunuch of the East Factory who sat sideways. Fang Yingwu and Mu Wencai stood under the corridor. Those who came to watch stood outside in a half-circle under the steps.
Li Dazhong cleared his throat. After clicking on the names of Mu Wencai and Fang Yingwu, he said directly: "Fang Shizhi, Mu Bulang reported that you were dissatisfied with the selection of the officials, and committed murder and hurt people, is it true?" β
Fang Yingwu nodded very dryly and said, "This is indeed the case!" The lower official confessed and was willing to bow down and confess! β
Li Yu was stunned, and glanced at the eunuch in the East Factory, and everyone in the hall was in an uproar, even Mu Wencai himself was a little surprised.
No one expected that Fang Yingwu would admit his guilt so straightforwardly, and he didn't drag his mind at all, and there was no room for maneuver at all!
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't we talk about exculpating ourselves? Fang Yingwu is not bad at words, and although it is unreasonable this time, it is understandable.
Li Dazhongcheng was selfish and intended to help Fang Yingwu exonerate, but Fang Yingwu confessed so quickly and decisively, how could he open his mouth? Is it possible to reverse black and white in front of everyone's eyes?
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Dazhong had to be reminded by the other party: "This matter has alarmed the saint, and he has issued an edict from the palace to pay attention, if he is really guilty, he will definitely be severely punished and set an example." "This means that there are people staring at this matter, you should take it easy, don't play around, the Son of Heaven will not show you mercy!
But Fang Yingwu remained indifferent and did not defend himself in the slightest. Li Yu had to sigh, it seemed that Fang Yingwu was disdainful of justification, and he clearly had the ambition to go. I had to ask Mu Wencai again: "What else does Mu Bulang say?" β
I didn't expect the victory to come so easily, Mu Wencai glanced at Fang Yingwu, stepped forward and said, "But please judge impartially and make a knot." β
The imperial historian who was watching from the hall heard a lot of boos, but Mu Wencai turned a deaf ear. The chief official of his dignified Wenxuan Division was beaten in public in the yamen, if he didn't get back to the field, how would he have face? How can you be the chief officer of the Anthology Division?
What is it to be booed a few times here, when it comes to the election of officials, there are still a lot of people who come to meet them, this is the reality! And after cleaning up the father and son of the Fang family who showed Mu Xiu in the forest, naturally some people appreciate themselves, so the love of the teacher who is about to fade away cannot be eaten!
Li Yu waved his hand, "That's it for today, and I'll make a plan after the official plays." β
This is considered the end, Mu Wen raised his hand, and then he was about to leave. But on the other side, Fang Yingwu stood still and shouted, "Slow! β
I knew that it would not end so easily, and the crowd of onlookers also stopped, and then heard Fang Yingwu say: "Xia Guan also wants to remind Dazhongcheng, can you use the example of eight discussions?" β
The so-called eight discussions are to discuss relatives, discuss the reason, discuss the virtuous, discuss the ability, discuss the merit, discuss the noble, discuss the diligence, and discuss the guests. When interrogating a crime, if you encounter these eight situations, you may be able to reduce or reduce the punishment according to the circumstances. Of course, most of the time it is an excuse used by the Son of Heaven to be gracious at his discretion.
Hearing Fang Yingwu take the initiative to mention the Eight Discussions, everyone present couldn't help but think about it, Fang Yingwu would definitely not mention the Eight Discussions for no reason, which one can he hang up in the eight words "Relatives and Talents, Meritorious and Diligent Guests"?
Moreover, generally the eight discussions are raised by a third party, and no party itself proposes it, otherwise it will be a bit of a boastful suspicion.
Before everyone could think of anything, Fang Yingwu said loudly: "In the fourteenth year of Chenghua, the lower officials made a contribution to the border strategy in Yulin, and the northwest border pass has been peaceful so far, which is also one; In the fifteenth year of Chenghua, the lower officials reported the case of Haitang in Zhejiang to avoid the tide breaking the embankment, and the thousands of miles of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River became Zeguo, which is the second also;
In the sixteenth year of Chenghua, the lower officials offered a surprise attack on Weininghai, the army beheaded the chieftains of the north and returned, and offered the prisoners to tell the spirit of the emperor and the shame of the snow and civil forts, which are three also;
In the 20th year of Chenghua, the treasury was empty, and the lower officials were ordered to supervise the grain in Jiangnan, solve the crisis of the treasury, and protect the food of the Beijing division. The above four articles are all registered in the merit book of the cabinet office, and the piles can be checked! β
Fang Yingwu finished speaking in one breath, stopped for a while, and waited for others to digest it. At this time, everyone heard it, Fang Yingwu listed these four articles, and he must have gone to the "discussion of merit", and there was an uproar in the hall and the hall.
The so-called clear stream is nothing more than the word Lin Kedao and the like, who are good at Qing Discussion Inspectors, and there are few particularly heavy achievements, but Fang Yingwu seems to be a special one.
Everyone fell into inertial thinking, looking at Fang Yingwu with the general clear stream template, but they almost forgot that Fang Yingwu really had a lot of great achievements on his back.
The most important thing is that these great deeds have basically not been rewarded very seriously, and they are only registered in the merit book of the Imperial Palace. Of course, this is not that the imperial court deliberately suppressed Fang Yingwu, but also has its objective reasons.
After all, Fang Yingwu is too young, if he is upgraded according to his merits, coupled with Fang Yingwu's high starting point, one by one, he will be rewarded one by one, and he may be promoted to Shangshu, is this possible?
Don't talk about Shangshu, just let Fang Yingwu be a waiter at this age, who can accept it? Not to mention Fang Yingwu's opponents, even Fang Yingwu's father, Lao Taishan, teachers, relatives and friends, no one dares to let Fang Yingwu be a scholar at the age of twenty.
In the face of this situation, the court can only pretend to be confused, and even Fang Yingwu himself can only pretend to be confused, accepting the embarrassing situation of not being rewarded for his merits, but many people forget about pretending to be confused.
Since it is inconvenient to use it as a reward, how about using it to atone for the crime? Li Yu was okay in the hall, and talked in a low voice with the eunuch of the East Factory who was sitting in the hall to hear the trial; The imperial history and officials who came to watch under the hall seemed to have fried the pot, and the noise even spread outside the courtyard, attracting more onlookers.
These exploits are listed, even if the Son of Heaven sits here, he has to pinch his nose and admit it, for example, Wei Ninghai killed the chief of the temple, which was a big fanfare to comfort the spirit of the first emperor in the sky, does the Son of Heaven dare to disrespect the ancestors?
At this moment, the only person who is still silent is Mu Wencai, who is not silent, but stunned.
Of course, there are also people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, such as Xiang Chengxian and Xiang Dayushi, who stood in the crowd and shouted: "There is also a fifth, in the seventeenth year of Chenghua, Fang Shizhi found the younger brother of the Queen Mother, and the family of the Holy Mother was rounded, which is also one!"
