Chapter 729: After the Court Meeting
After the end of the court discussion on the future and fate of the Ming Dynasty, although there were many discussions between the government and the opposition, there were not many clear statements. The more high-ranking officials are, the more reluctant they are to express their positions, just like in the court meeting, the bigwigs are silent and don't talk much.
In the court discussion, it was advocated that the other prince's side should have the advantage and not get any bargains, which in itself is considered a failure. However, the courtiers all understood that the court discussion was just for both sides to express their own opinions, and the final result still depended on the final decision of the Son of Heaven.
Although everyone felt that Fang Yingwu's remarks through Xiang Chengxian's mouth were very reasonable and in line with the mentality of the Son of Heaven, after all, no one was sure that the Son of Heaven would definitely adopt it.
Under normal circumstances, maintaining the status quo and continuing to wait and see is most in line with the character of the Son of Heaven who hesitates and looks ahead, which is equivalent to temporarily retaining the position of the crown prince. However, what if Tianzi suddenly is not afraid of ghosts and gods and is domineering and violent?
It wasn't until three days later that the Son of Heaven issued an edict to restart the East Palace Feast, so that the officials of the Fang Bureau began to teach the prince, and then the master of ceremonies sent the military to the East Palace for the prince to study.
Just like the banquet of the East Palace a while ago, these actions are also obvious signals, but they are the opposite of the previous ones. Fools can analyze from these signs, the Son of Heaven has temporarily rested the idea of setting up another prince, and he really wants to maintain the status quo.
The news spread, triggering a cheer from the righteous people, a series of disasters and celestial phenomena finally frightened the Son of Heaven, the Ming Dynasty is lucky, the society is lucky, the future is full of hope, and the treacherous forces represented by Wan'an finally have the possibility of defeat!
The crown prince was saved, and Wan An, the first assistant who advocated the establishment of another prince, had plummeted, as if he had gone from a person who was feared by everyone overnight. It's become less scary.
The reason is very simple, it turned out to offend Wan'an. There may never be a day to turn over; And now that he has offended Wan An, it's a big deal to go out and hide for a few years. When the new emperor ascends the throne, the day of his emergence will come.
Of course, for ordinary people in Beijing, the ideas are not so complicated, and countless commentaries are full of stories of wisdom and loyalty defeating traitors, such as Kou Zhun getting Pan Renmei. And this time it is probably a play staged in reality, as the so-called art comes from life.
Fang Yingwu, the protagonist of the story, once again closed the door to thank customers, which is quite a bit of "hidden merit and fame". In fact, those who are familiar with him know that Fang Yingwu is a form of shrinkage and prevention, and Shoufu hates that he can't put you to death. Who would dare to ignore it?
It was at this time that Wan Shoufu ushered in his seventieth birthday. Life is rare for seventy years, and it stands to reason that such a whole life is definitely a big deal, but Wan Shoufu is quite low-key, and only invited a few diehard cronies to come to the door, and even ordinary protégés all declined politely, not to mention other courtiers with average friendships.
The reason why this is so is that, on the one hand, Wan Shoufu has no face to do it, and on the other hand, he has no confidence to do it. Now the downward trend is obvious. In case you make a big show for your birthday but are treated contemptuously by others, it will be even more embarrassing.
Even if there are only cronies, the number is not too small, and the first assistant for ten years is not in vain. When the guests disperse, the prosperity falls, and the moon rises. Wan Shoufu only left a few people to chat in the study, which can be regarded as a real henchman.
"So far, the old man only asks one thing. How to remediate the prescription? What do you mean to teach me? Wan An said very implicitly, here are all henchmen. Wan Shoufu really doesn't need to be tactful.
The rest of the people looked at each other, and politicians knew it. It is very irrational to blindly treat people and things like this, and no calm politician will do this.
But everyone also expressed their understanding very much, when they met someone like Fang Yingwu, no one could bear it, and Wan Lao could endure it to this day, which was far beyond ordinary people. If you endure it any longer, it will be the thousand-year-old king of the 80,000-year-old turtle
Gao Changjiang, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, spoke first: "The lower official has an idea, the elder may wish to listen to it." That party should be transformed into a scribe of Dongchang, in the name of Wanping County instead of Chun'an County, which is very famous to say, Wanping County's approach is not necessarily reasonable.
Since Fang Yingwu is willing to make a pretense of serving himself, then we will fulfill him. On the one hand, he asked Shuntianfu to cancel this levy, and on the other hand, he quickly went to Zhejiang, and asked the provincial capital and county to levy any level of the levy party to serve as a scribe in the Ministry of Industry. and other things should be included in the list of the Ministry of Industry, all in the hands of the lower officials, are you afraid that there will be no chance to rectify? ”
"Good!" Wan An praised the case. Gao Shilang's mention is technically very feasible, and people will be conscripted and sent to serve the Ministry of Industry every year, so that Zhejiang can arrange Fang Yingwu in. As long as Fang Yingwu is on the list of the Ministry of Industry, he is not at his disposal.
Gao Shilang received praise from the old shoufu, and he was quite complacent, and Zhang Shanji also scrambled to offer advice when he saw this: "The lower officials still have a plan, and after Fang Yingwu was deposed, he jumped out and turned the rain and clouds, although he gained something by virtue of his cunning." But the Son of Heaven may not appreciate his behavior, and may even get bored, success in doing things and being successful in life are two different things.
After the subordinate officials contacted a few people in Kedao, the impeachment party Yingwu was dismissed from office, and he did not hesitate to make waves for his own selfishness, and he must be severely punished as a precaution to set an example.
In addition, you can also find someone in the palace to speak, just say that Fang Yingwu is looking forward to the return of the dragon to heaven day and night, and then by virtue of the dragon's re-rise, it is difficult not to mind if you want to come to your majesty! ”
Wan An applauded again: "Very good! "If Gao Shilang showed technical means, then Zhang Shanji's mention yì is a heart-to-heart attack, directly taking advantage of the weakness of people's hearts, and directly provoking the disgust of the Son of Heaven against the other party.
It's like brainstorming, there are two of them, and there are three of them immediately, and someone else suggested: "Although I don't know why Wang Zhi took Fang Yingwu into the Dongchao room, there must be a problem in it." Moreover, Fang Yingwu's devotion to the East Factory is tantamount to having more talismans and hindering others from rectifying him.
Anyway, this time it is a good thing for Wan Niangniang, the boss might as well share this matter with Wan Niangniang, and see how Wan Niangniang treats Wang Zhi. Maybe Wang Zhi will no longer keep Fang Yingwu in the East Factory, or maybe Wang Zhi will be punished by Wan Niangniang, so he will be angry with Fang Yingwu. In any case, this is a move from the bottom of the kettle. ”
Wan Shoufu also fully affirmed this, "You can also! All the entries are in parallel, you can do it! ”
At this time, a few sneers suddenly came from the end of the seat, Gao Changjiang looked sideways, it turned out to be Song Min, the secretary of Dali Temple, and asked, "Why is Song Tingwei laughing?" ”
Song Min shook his head and sighed: "I laughed at the fact that the gentlemen talked about conspiracy to harm people behind their backs, and they were quite scheming. But why did he have nothing to do when he met Fang Yingwu in the temple and argued with him about important matters? ”
During the banquet, everyone looked at each other and was speechless. (To be continued......)
