In the spring of the twenty-first year of Chenghua, the inside and outside of the court, and the court were full of a very restless atmosphere, everywhere and everywhere.

On the temple, the four most powerful people in the Wenchen, that is, the elders of the three pavilions and the officials of the first day, launched a fierce tearing battle, and this one thing alone can sweep half of the courtiers into it.

This big scuffle was also caused by the celebrity Fang Yingwu, although Fang Yingwu's methods were brilliant to the pinnacle, and the interests of the Fang family were safeguarded in an extremely unfavorable situation, but it made the high-level of the court chaotic.

The fundamental reason for such turmoil is not only the snatching of practical interests, but also the accumulation and outbreak of contradictions over the years, and Fang Yingwu only acted as the fuse for wanting to fish in troubled waters.

The last time there was a turbulent situation of this level was eight years ago, that is, the thirteenth year of Chenghua, and it was the year when Fang Yingwu crossed over. At that time, the young demon Wang Zhi was born, and with the acquiescence of the Son of Heaven, he used the simplest and rude methods to defeat the civil officials one after another, and in just one year, half of the members of the court were replaced.

Since then, the basic pattern of the imperial court has stabilized and has been maintained to this day, during which there may be some struggles, but it has not affected the overall pattern.

It was also from the thirteenth year of Chenghua that the Son of Heaven got rid of the constraints of the older generation of ministers and realized his control over the imperial court. Of course, it is precisely from the thirteenth year of Chenghua that the atmosphere has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and there is the irony of the three old pavilions of paper paste and the six books of clay sculpture.

Eight years have passed, and there will be periodic and fatalistic turmoil in the court, and not only in the court, but also in the court! The dismissal of the eunuch Huai En and his assignment to Fengyang will definitely trigger a chain reaction. It is also necessary to attract the attention of the courtiers.

Although it is not allowed to make friends inside and outside on the surface, in fact, the relationship between the courtiers and the celebrant and the eunuch is still very good. For courtiers. If it is his acquaintance who is on the throne, then it is equivalent to having a strong alliance in the palace. The significance is self-evident.

Then the first question arises, among the existing celebrant eunuchs, who will take over the position of the palm seal eunuch? Is it Qin Chang, who is trusted by the Son of Heaven, or Chen Zhun and Xiao Jing, who are more senior? There is a second question, that is, there is a vacancy in the celebrant and eunuch, who can make up for it?

If in the first question, whoever takes over the palm seal eunuch can understand and convince the public. Then the second question is more speechless. There is a convention that the celebrant eunuch must come out of the inner study hall, receive elite education from an early age, and when facing the old ministers, he will not lose points or lose the price in terms of cultural level.

At present, in addition to the celebrant eunuch, the two most powerful and influential eunuchs are Wang Zhi and Liang Fang, so these two are the most popular candidates for the celebrant eunuch.

And the cultural level of Wang Zhi and Liang Fang can only make people hehehehe, everyone knows that these two are models of not learning and not knowing, one started by being a secret agent and brushing up on military merits. A man who started by eating, drinking and having fun with horses is not a cultural eunuch.

It can be seen from this that under the rule of today's son, how chaotic and mediocre the palace is. Those who can get ahead are such non-mainstream figures.

Of course, when it comes to the restlessness of the entire imperial court, the most sensitive issue of the East Palace is indispensable. At present, the deposed prince is almost an open secret. Even the reprimands of the ministers and the eunuch Huai En who held the seal of the master of ceremonies had no effect, and who else could prevent the prince from being deposed?

The only doubt is when and on what occasion the Son of Heaven will be announced. How the courtiers will face this situation is just that.

As we all know, the East Palace issue is not just a matter of the crown prince alone. It is still a problem of the entire court situation, especially the big problem of Hanlin Cichen.

Although the Hanlin scholars are relatively disciplined and pay attention to their decent image, they will not do things that praise the high and step on the low, and they will not throw away the prince now, but they can't stop everyone from being a little selfish.

If the crown prince is replaced, then the ministers and subordinates of the East Palace will definitely be replaced. Now it is Xu Pu, Qiu Jun, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, including Fang Qingzhi, who has been degraded, so in the future, it will be another group of others to take over!

Any Hanlin Cichen who is currently in a state of "unwillingness" will be moved when he thinks of such an opportunity, and he will inevitably want to fight Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. As a result, there was also a strange atmosphere in the Hanlin Courtyard, which has always been known as a high and transcendent courtyard.

All in all, the court was full of restlessness before the reshuffle, and among the middle and high-level officials above the fifth grade, I don't know how many people can work quietly.

If you want to select a calm star, presumably the probability of Fang Yingwu being selected is very high, and now there is no one more calm than him in the court.

His purpose is nothing more than two things, one is to protect himself, and the other is to make his father suffer as little as possible. These two points have now been reached, and the Fang family's limelight stage has ended, what else can't be calm?

Therefore, after sending his father away, Fang Yingwu stayed closed most of the time and did not see outsiders. However, this does not mean that Fang Yingwu is closed to news, on the contrary, Fang Yingwu knows more than 99% of the people, and all kinds of Dongchang eyes and ears are not decorations.

Wang Zhi looked at the summary of news, and the other party responded: "In order to consolidate her foundation in the future, Concubine Shao Chen secretly enveloped Zhejiang celebrities, do you want me to match you?" In fact, she doesn't have a bad impression of a loyal person like your Fang family. ”

"No, you don't!" Fang Yingwu refused without thinking about it.

Concubine Shao Chen is the biological mother of Zhu Youqing, the alternate of the prince, if the East Palace is abolished today and Zhu Youqi is replaced as the prince, then Concubine Shao Chen will be completely expensive by her mother. Moreover, Concubine Shao Chen is a native of Zhejiang, and she is still a fellow villager of Fang Yingwu in this province.

However, Fang Yingwu remembered something, and said, "But you can match that Xie Qian, how about it?" Xie Qian is also from Zhejiang. ”

Wang Zhi laughed a few times, "You are really bad, isn't this a hook for Master Xie, but don't play with fire and self-immolation, make the fake come true, in case you really change the prince, Xie Qian is befriended again, you can't cry." ”

Then Wang Zhi continued to look through the news summary, "Li Dongyang wants to ask for leave and go back to his ancestral hometown of Chaling to find his roots and ask his ancestors." According to Fang Yingwu's request, the news reported by Wang Zhi was mainly within the scope of Hanlin Cichen.

Fang Yingwu shook his head when he heard this, looking at this, Teacher Li must be disheartened and depressed

It is said that although Li Dongyang's ancestral home is Huguang Chaling, his grandfather has lived in Beijing since his grandfather, and Li Dongyang's generation is considered a native of Beijing, and Li Dongyang himself has not returned to his ancestral hometown so far. At this time, he suddenly wanted to take leave to return to his ancestral hometown, and Fang Yingwu could of course see that he must be depressed.

Li Dongyang was nicknamed Li 18 at the beginning, because he had been sitting on the cold bench in the Hanlin Academy for 18 years. Finally, a few years ago, he and Fang Qingyi entered the East Palace attendant class and embarked on the Cotai Strip, which can be regarded as a bittersweet end, and finally boiled out a bright future.

Who would have thought that now the situation is changing again, the prince is in danger, seeing that the future is finished again, and after regaining hope, he is disappointed again, and the heaviness of this blow can be imagined.

Fang Yingwu stretched his waist, got up and said, "The cold stove must be burned, so I'll visit the teacher today." ”

Some people may be able to see that the prince is a cold stove, and some people may think that the Fang family's father and son are cold stoves, but who knows that Li Dongyang is also a big cold stove? (To be continued......)

PS: There are still nights!
