In the first month of the twenty-third year of Chenghua, the influence enveloped the entire Chenghua Dynasty and the concubine Wan died at the age of fifty-eight. Hearing the news, every courtier realized that a new era had finally begun to draw the curtain.

The new era came faster than everyone imagined, and after Wan Guifei left, the Son of Heaven, who had a huge psychological dependence on her, completely collapsed, lingering on the sickbed, and even had a slight tendency to refuse treatment.

In August of the twenty-third year of Chenghua, Zhu Jianshen, the controversial son of heaven, died at the age of forty-one. This Son of Heaven was not well-known among the Ming Emperors, but he left an extremely profound influence in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the otaku rule model of vertical arching, and the mature cabinet government model, as well as the atmosphere of seeking fame and fame, have all become the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty, but most of the later generations do not know that these customs began in Chenghua.

It can be said that the Chenghua period was a turning point in the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the political atmosphere or the life atmosphere. It's just that the person at the time was in the game and didn't realize it.

When we look back decades later, we will be stunned to find that the atmosphere of the government and the opposition has undergone irreversible changes. I don't know when, from the simplicity and heaviness of the early years of the founding of the country to noisy and flashy. Tracing the source, but it started in Chenghua.

All in all, Chenghua is going to become an old thing, and in a few months, even the name of Chenghua will become history. At this time, people's behavior is the most obvious weather vane, for example, the threshold of the guest room of Ciren Temple has been trampled.

Suddenly, overnight, the number of pilgrims in Ciren Temple increased several times, and after these pilgrims offered incense to the Buddha, they all went to the guest room to go around the room, intentionally or unintentionally.

Replacement of the old and the new. Personnel will also be replaced, and politicians will subconsciously look for the next hot stove. Then pounce on it and make out. It's not necessarily useful to pounce on it, but politicians don't do something about it at this time. I feel even more upset.

The more recognized hot stove is the Fang family. In the struggle at the end of the Chenghua Dynasty, others may have just raised the seedlings, and few paid a substantial price - in fact, it was not that the Chenghua Dynasty did not have an upright minister, but that most of such people were forced out of the capital in the past 20 years.

But the father and son of the Fang family have really paid a heavy price, and they can't be more real! After being admonished by Fang Qingzhi, he was "miserable" by the court staff, and then directly demoted from the most noble minister to Yunyang;

And Fang Yingwu, who is a son, adheres to the tutor of "the gentleman and the minister must be repaid, and the father and son should inherit", and continues to fight in the East Palace. From the Qingliu of the Fang Bureau, he was directly dismissed from the government and the people, and then he was still persecuted by treachery and evil, and finally he was trapped in the temple for a year or two and couldn't get out, and even one of the four joys of life was wasted.

These costs are boiled out, which is the meritorious medal of the new era! Everyone knows that the Fang family's father and son will inevitably be reactivated, and it will only be better than before! In time, a cabinet pit will not be able to run (it just takes time to move).

Seeing that Ciren Temple has become a vegetable market for fame and profit, the idle monk is very, very disgusted. is even more angry that he has cleared up the place and turned it into a place for chasing fame and fortune.

So he found Fang Yingwu very unceremoniously, and ordered the expulsion: "Now that the outside world has changed, Master Fang is about to become Lord Fang, and there is no need to continue to entrench in our temple." Please go away! ”

Fang Yingwu refused to leave: "I can't leave yet, I have to continue to bother for some time." The monk said angrily, "How long are you going to rely on him?" ”

"At this moment, I have to be low-key. How can you leave the temple happily at the slightest movement? Shouldn't it be thought that people have been looking forward to the death of the emperor? Fang Yingwu explained: "Besides, there is no owner in the inner palace at this time, and the Holy Mother who is about to become the empress dowager is the biggest one." Reflecting here, Ciren Temple is the most reassuring place. I can't afford to go. ”

The opening of a new era requires a landmark event, which is the enthronement of the new Son of Heaven, so that it can be justified. It's a pity that Fang Yingwu hid in the temple and waited for the "recovery", and couldn't witness the grand occasion of Zhu Youji, the prince of the East Palace, ascending to the throne.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, it was naturally the beginning of a refreshed political zhì. When Fang Yingwu quietly waited for his reply edict, he first waited for Liu Mian, a second-level auxiliary scholar.

I saw that Liu Ge was dressed in ordinary clothes, just like an old man, and he thought Fang Yingwu was dazzled. couldn't help but laugh and said: "Now that the DPRK and China are in turmoil, Lao Taishan should be of great use, why do you still have leisure and elegance to meet your son-in-law?" Aren't you afraid that after being seen, the two families will be accused of collusion? ”

Liu Mian didn't care about this, "The old man came to see his son-in-law, who can say half a word?" By the way, recently to prevent the dog from jumping off the wall, the old man specially sent a team of sergeants to guard the Ciren Temple. ”

Fang Yingwu was used, and after thanking him, he asked, "Is the inner court still stable recently?" ”

"There was indeed an accident in the court." Liu Mian frowned and said: "Then Wan'an joined forces with Peng Hua and said that he moved all the ministries and resigned. ”

Cabinet General Resignation? Fang Yingwu also remembered, as if there was such a thing in history. Of course, this resignation is not really about resigning, but the temptation and general of the first assistant Wan'an and the ministers of various ministries to the new Son of Heaven, they know that the Son of Heaven does not like them these old clay sculptures of the Papier-mâché Pavilion, so they sacrifice this kind of psychological tactics.

The Son of Heaven has just ascended the throne, so it is impossible to directly approve this kind of resignation, otherwise what will happen if all the important ministers run out? Therefore, according to the old routine, the Son of Heaven must issue an edict to comfort and retain the ministers, even if the new Son of Heaven is disgusted in his heart. In this way, in the short term, the old clay sculptures of the Papier-mâché Pavilion can at least temporarily keep their positions, so that they will not be brushed off when they come up.

Liu Mian is distressed here, among the cabinet personnel, Wan An Peng Hua supported the establishment of another East Palace back then! Now that the East Palace has inherited the treasure, Wan An still has to get out? In that case, he Liu Ji would naturally become the first assistant.

After decades of struggle, now that he is only half a step away from the end of the people, how can Liu Mian calm down? But now Wan An is reluctant to leave, and Liu Mian, who is already full of interest, is itching, and he doesn't want to wait any longer.

On this point, Fang Yingwu and Liu Mian have the same idea, and they both let Wan'an follow the general trend of history as soon as possible, there is a lot of important work below, and you can't always be distracted by Wan'an's fly.

Besides, Fang Yingwu has been trapped in Ciren Temple for so long, and his resentment is not small, and he will not revenge a gentleman. If you don't pull Wan An off the horse, you won't be able to show his means, so let the old decrepit head Wan An become the first sacrifice of the king's return!

In fact, it is easy to do, the trend of the times, destroying the withering and decaying. Fang Yingwu, who is familiar with history, thought about it, and followed the historical method! (To be continued......)
