The Son of Chenghua died in August, and now he ascended the throne after more than three months of chaos, so the twenty-three years of Chenghua passed like this, which is also the last year of using Chenghua as the year name. The new year will not be the twenty-fourth year of Chenghua, but the first year of Hongzhi.

The New Year's Day court meeting in the first year of Hongzhi was the first great court meeting after the accession to the throne today, and the ritual system was naturally far more grand than that of the Chang Dynasty. Fortunately, there was no mistake in this chaotic period of government affairs, and there was no celestial phenomenon to make trouble (the Manchu Dynasty was really afraid of those disasters in the last years of Chenghua).

Then at the beginning of the new year, Vientiane began, and the government was also refreshed, and a group of ministers who recalled Beijing from other places returned to the dynasty one after another, and the history was called "righteous people converged". In the years that followed, of course, it was turbidity and Yangqing, the people were in the Ying Dynasty, and the monarchs and ministers got each other, and it was also known as "Hongzhi Zhongxing" in history.

Among the recalled ministers, the most eye-catching are Wang Shu, Ma Wensheng and Fang Qingzhi, among which Wang Shu and Fang Qingzhi do not need to be repeated, they are all described in detail above.

said that this Ma Wensheng is also an upright person, and he can be called Wang Shu, who is slightly smaller. He was originally the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and after returning to Beijing, his official position was the imperial history of Zuodu.

With the support of Wang Zhi, the former Zuodu Yushi Wang Yue Wang has been occupying the Zuodu Yushi for so many years as Wei Ningbo and refuses to let go. After Wang Zhi was deliberately "suppressed" this time, Wang Yue finally couldn't hold back anymore, so he gave up the official position of the imperial history of Zuodu, and it happened that Ma Wen took over after he returned to Beijing.

I have to say that with the character of Boss Ma, it is quite suitable to be the general constitution. After taking office, he unceremoniously began to perform his duties. First, he wrote a letter of more than 1,000 words, violently attacking the eunuch Wang Zhi, the master of ceremonies.

Fang Yingwu was extremely energetic in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and soon learned that Ma Wensheng impeached Wang Zhi. I don't understand that a bit. It is understandable that the new official took office with three fires, why did it burn to Wang Zhi?

So Fang Yingwu went to Wang Zhi to ask. Wang Zhi scratched her head and replied distressedly: "Seven or eight years ago, when I was patrolling the border, I was young and vigorous. At that time, Ma Wen was promoted to the head of the military department, and he was also responsible for rectifying the border equipment, and I had a conflict with him. For so many years, I had forgotten about it, but I never imagined that it would be today. ”

Fang Yingwu asked, "Conflict? And then? Wang Zhi replied again: "I framed a few words in front of the old emperor, and then Marven was promoted to prison and demoted to the military station......"

Fang Yingwu was speechless for a long time, no wonder Ma Wenshengfu violently impeached Wang Zhi as soon as he took office, and he was cheated like that at the beginning. It's strange that there's no revenge. In the end, Fang Yingwu sighed, "You were overbearing back then, how many sins you caused, and you still haven't paid off your debts." ”

"Leave me alone, you also have to suffer." Wang Zhi diverted the conversation and said: "I saw your cheap grandfather's recital in the celebrant supervisor, and he said that your Fang family's father and son are all in the ban, so you should avoid suspicion and release one." ”

Fang Yingwu was also stunned, he didn't expect his maternal grandfather to kill his relatives in righteousness. He knew that Wang Shu was an unsentimental person, but he didn't expect to be so unsentimental. It seems that there will be some worries in the future.

After Emperor Hu Tianhu with Wang Zhi, Fang Yingwu returned home. Now that there is a father in the family, Fang Yingwu is no longer the master of the house, unless he is officially married. In order to get a little power.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu felt that his marriage should be put on the agenda. Recently, the government has been stable and there has been no turmoil. It's a good time to get married.

Then Fang Yingwu went to the study and discussed the marriage with his father. But after Fang Qingzhi listened. He frowned and vetoed: "The bones of the first emperor are not cold, and my generation must not lose the courtesy of the ministers." Wait for one year after the national mourning period has expired before discussion. ”

Fang Yingwu had to sigh, what kind of rush did he make in this life, why is it so difficult to get married?

Fang Qingzhi keenly noticed that Fang Yingwu's clothes were slightly untidy, and scolded: "The national mourning has not been removed, and the courtiers should be careful to abide by their duties, how can they be **** and have nothing to do?" ”

Fang Yingwu said impatiently: "The affairs of the court, after seeing through it, I only play the game, why does my father need to be more serious at home?" ”

Fang Qingzhi shouted angrily: "What are you talking nonsense? ”

My father's mentality is not right, and he must change from "fighting the country" to "sitting on the country" as soon as possible, Fang Yingwu thought. After pondering for a while, he cleared the way to the other side: "The son doesn't want to argue with his father, so he only asks his father and son to travel in micro-clothes and visit along the street." ”

Fang Qingzhi didn't know what medicine was sold in Fang Yingwu's gourd, but he still followed Fang Yingwu out of the house from the small door according to Fang Yingwu's requirements. Fang Yingwu took his father all the way to the area of Qipan Street, and then slowed down.

At a vendor, Fang Yingwu bought two pieces of silver in one go. Then he chatted with the old man who sold the goods and asked, "How does the old man feel about the death of the emperor last year and the accession to the throne today?" Can we mourn for the emperor, and can we rejoice in the present? ”

In the face of big customers, the old man replied very frankly: "I don't feel much, I can't talk about joy, anger and sorrow." It's just that the amnesty is very good, and the old man has a nephew who has been in exile for ten years, and he can be released back. ”

Fang Yingwu said in passing: "Ten years of exile is not a short sentence. The old man complained, "It is indeed too long, and if he had been amnestied earlier, he would have returned long ago, so why wait until today." ”

Fang Yingwu said haha: "The old man thinks about it, how can the amnesty be said to be there, it would be good to meet it once." ”

The old man babbled and said, "Childe's words are wrong. When the old man was still in his prime, that is, more than 20 years ago, during the Jingtai and Tianshun years, he was immediately changed to Chenghua.

I still remember that the court was troubled at that time, and there were amnesties every once in a while, as well as reductions and exemptions of money and food. It's a pity that there are fewer and fewer after Chenghua, and there has been no amnesty for almost ten years. ”

Fang Qingzhi stood behind Fang Yingwu, listening to the gossip between his son and the old man who sold goods, and calculated silently in his heart. This old man who sells goods has no knowledge, can't remember clearly, and can't understand, but Fang Qingzhi, who has been cultivating books and history, can deduce what this old man is talking about.

When Jingtai, Tianshun, and Chenghua alternated, it was indeed a very eventful time for the imperial court. After more than ten years of work, there were three enthronement ceremonies in the middle, as well as the death of the Empress Dowager Sun of the Xuanzong Dynasty, as well as the two weddings of the Son of Chenghua, and then the death of the Empress Dowager Qian of the Yingzong Dynasty in the early years of Chenghua.

So what the old man said was right, during that time period, there were always five or six amnesties and reductions of money and food, which was indeed intensive, and it was no wonder that the old man missed that time.

But the significance of a major national event that is so serious that the Son of Heaven dies in the old man's heart is only amnesty and commutation? For this kind of people's heart, Fang Qingzhi, who is loyal to the monarch and the country, takes the world as his own responsibility, is speechless.

Fang Yingwu glanced at Fang Qingzhi and asked again, "Has my father ever heard a poem composed by his son?" Linjiang immortal that. ”

Fang Qingzhi couldn't help but have a few words in his mind: "On the white-haired fisherman Jiangzhu, I am used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze." A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, and many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”
