However, it was said that the governor of Dongchang, Shang Gonggong, had received a holy decree and had to leave Dongchang and enter the palace through Donghua Gate. He had been in a state of shock just now, and it wasn't until he got on the road that he sorted out his thoughts.

Father-in-law Shang's mood was very uneasy, if the Son of Heaven asked him alone, even if it was to scold him bloody, it would always show that his Son of Heaven regarded him as his own person, and he was much closer to a foreign minister like Fang Yingwu.

But this time, he and Fang Yingwu were summoned to interrogate at the same time, which meant another thing, indicating that he and Fang Yingwu were treated equally, and they were no longer far from the Son of Heaven.

There are only two reasons for this situation, one is that Fang Yingwu suddenly became closer to the Son of Heaven, and took a step forward to stand on the same line as himself; The second is that he was suddenly alienated by the Son of Heaven and retreated to the extent of Fang Yingwu.

In either case, it is a very serious blow to the eunuchs who are attached to the imperial power, how can it not make the Shang Gonggong, who knows the reason, tremble? He has been a eunuch for decades, and I don't know how many popular eunuchs he has seen fall from heaven to hell once he fell out of favor.

And what's more serious is that he Shang Ming has always been able to enter the inner palace directly to face the saint, but this time he was only allowed to stop at Fengtianmen, and the alienation implication is self-evident.

Fengtianmen is located in the noon gate, before the Fengtian Temple, is the place where the Son of Heaven goes to the court. Like some other gates in the palace, Fengtianmen usually does not open the main gate, but like some other gates, it also opens two small gates, called the east and west corner gates.

The Son of Heaven summoned ministers for questioning in private, and the location was usually at the east and west corners of Fengtianmen. Of course, a certain otaku who is introverted by nature and doesn't like to see outsiders won't show up, so he asks his cronies and eunuchs to ask questions on his behalf. This time was no exception.

When Shang Ming arrived at Fengtianmen, the other protagonist Fang Yingwu had not yet arrived. This is also normal. Fang Yingwu traveled a much longer distance, and he had to go around the imperial city in a big circle. Of course, it will come a little later.

While waiting, Grandpa Shang couldn't help but start thinking about it again, what is the problem? Could it be that Fang Yingwu helped the Queen Mother find her younger brother and solved the problem of Baoguo Temple, so he climbed on the thigh of the Zhou family and started to pit himself from here?

But Shang's father-in-law thought about it carefully and denied this idea again. He had already gone to the Zhou family some time ago to extinguish the fire, and the money-hungry Zhou family accepted a heavy gift from him, so there was no need or motive to go back on his word and help Fang Yingwu deal with him.

What's more, even if the Empress Dowager Zhou takes action to clean herself up. There is also a delay time, and I can always hear some wind in this space. It is impossible to deal with it as neatly as it is today, so that he was suspended without even having time to react.

Shang Ming, who knew the situation in the palace very well, knew that this must be something that made the Son of Heaven extremely unhappy, and the Nine Heavens Thunder directly slashed into the mortal world, so that there could be such an efficient disposal.

I don't know how long he waited, Shang Ming saw Fang Yingwu's slender figure appear in the noon gate, and then swayed towards him.

"It turns out that Shang Gong arrived first, and I haven't seen him for a long time. Disrespectful, disrespectful! Fang Yingwu pretended to be as if he had just seen Shang Ming, and clasped his fists and saluted.

Shang Ming suppressed his anger and asked without smiling: "Lord Fang has a good means to ask me to be questioned by the Admiral of Dongchang and you, a little magistrate. I wonder how you did it? ”

"Hehehehe." Fang Yingwu smiled, "Shang Gong, what you say, I don't understand it." But I've heard one thing below. At the beginning, some secrets in the palace were disseminated, and then Shang Gong traced it and said that it was the eunuch Wang of the West Factory who leaked out. provoked the Son of Heaven to be extremely dissatisfied with Eunuch Wang - I don't know if there was such a thing? ”

This is also a classic trick of palace struggle, and the so-called "leaking forbidden Chinese" can easily provoke the anger of the Son of Heaven. It is an excellent tactic to attack political opponents.

Shang Ming didn't want to admit it, but he didn't bother to deny it, thinking about Fang Yingwu in his heart, why did he suddenly talk about this, could it be that Fang Yingwu also learned to draw a scoop according to the gourd?

But isn't he still Ming looking down on Fang Yingwu, does the surname Fang have this ability? Fang Yingwu is a rookie minister, can he know what secrets in the palace and spread them? Even if Fang Yingwu spread the secret news in the palace and planted it was he Shang Ming who did it, then the unfounded ghost would believe it, let alone the wise and martial emperor!

Seeing that the two of them had arrived, the eunuch on duty quickly spread the word to the palace. I don't know how long I waited, but Qin Chang, a close confidant of the Son of Heaven and the eunuch of the Celebrant Bingbi, appeared, and nodded to Shang Ming and Fang Yingwu, who arrived first, and today it was he who would ask the two fighting cocks instead of the Son of Heaven.

Qin Chang coughed, and Monk Fang Yingwu knelt down in unison and listened to the hadith. Qin Chang asked first: "Shang Ming! Your Majesty wants to ask you, why did Chai Dongping, the son of Dongchang, want to frame Fang Yingwu for no reason? Did you do that? ”

Shang Ming knows very well that today's answer is extremely important, and every question must be carefully considered. As for this first question, according to the subconscious habit, of course, it is a categorical denial that it has anything to do with him.

But Shang's father-in-law thought about it again, and now it is not a public trial, but just a private question and answer. I still have to deny it, I can't help but have the suspicion of treating the Son of Heaven as a fool, and a clear-eyed person can know at a glance that Chai Dong's behavior was instigated by himself, and there is no point in denying it here, it only seems that he deliberately deceived the king.

And in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, it is not a big crime to frame the minister in Dongchang or not, so it is better to be honest, at least to make the Son of Heaven feel his honesty.

It was Shang Ming who kowtowed and replied, "It is indeed instructed by the slave and maid." ”

Qin Chang asked again: "Why do you want to set up a situation to frame Fang Yingwu?" ”

Of course, because Fang Yingwu is Wang Zhi's think tank and the person in charge, Shang Ming thought so, but he didn't say it.

Once Wang Zhi is involved, things will be complicated, who knows how the mind of the Son of Heaven will change? Shang Ming pondered it again and again, then copied the mainstream views of the outside world and replied: "Because the editor of the Hanlin Academy, Fang Qing, impeached the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid hated and intended to retaliate. ”

Fang Qingzhi had been instructed by Fang Yingwu to impeach Shang Ming and Yu Xing Fang Shi Li Zi Province for forming a party, so Shang Ming had this answer. Qin Chang continued to ask: "Then are you really in Lizi Province?" ”

Perhaps in the eyes of people who don't know the truth, it is inconceivable that a powerful Dongchang Admiral would befriend a courtier, and the status of the two sides seems to be too far apart, but it is not surprising that people who know the inside story of the Dao are not surprised.

Whether it is a minister or a eunuch, they are all subordinates of the Son of Heaven, and although Li Zixing is ridiculed by public opinion as a person who pretends to be a god and a ghost, he is like an iron buddy of the Son of Heaven, and he is one of the few people who can talk to the Son of Heaven, and there are really some friendship factors with the Son of Heaven.

At the beginning of the year, the Son of Heaven did not hesitate to oppose all the courtiers, and insisted on promoting Li Zi Province to be the right general government, probably out of the righteousness of his buddies. There are such factors, so Shang Ming, the commander of Dongchang, should also be polite to Li Zi Province.

Shang Ming also continued to reply according to the principle of "honesty": "This is untrue, and it is really rumors and slanders by people with ulterior motives!" ”

Qin Chang turned to Fang Yingwu: "How did you know that your father Fang Qingzhi impeached Shang Ming and Li Zi Province?" ”

Fang Yingwu replied without thinking: "It is the news from the East Factory, and it happened to be heard by my father after several turns."

Shang Ming angrily interrupted Fang Yingwu's words, "Full of nonsense! How could such news come out of the East Factory! ”

Fang Yingwu saw that Qin Chang didn't stop him, and continued to reply: "Xiao Chen guessed that his father-in-law was indeed very unsafe at that time, so he had to let out this rumor and be bold. ”

Shang Ming reprimanded: "In front of the angels, you dare to fabricate it out of thin air, but there is solid evidence?" ”

Fang Yingwu sneered at each other: "In front of the angels, you Shang Ming dare to say that you are innocent and have no contact with Li Zi Province? ”

Shang Ming hesitated for a moment, "There have only been a few personal contacts, how can it be called a party?" ”

Qin Chang glanced at Shang Ming with pity, the reason why this person has already lost is very simple, a Dongchang Admiral who was supposed to be a man of action was forced to the point of arguing with civil officials in court, then he must have lost.

However, Eunuch Qin didn't worry about Shang Ming, and shouted: "If you continue to wait here, I will go and play the emperor!" ”

Then Eunuch Qin turned around and walked towards the inner palace. Fang Yingwu was fine, but Shang Ming was still inexplicable, not knowing what the meaning of his answers to these questions was.

After waiting for another hour, seeing that the sun was already in the west, Fang Yingwu didn't know whether he should continue to wait. When the sun sets, the palace gate will be locked, and he, a foreign minister, is not allowed to spend the night here in Fengtianmen.

Just when he was impatient, Qin Chang reappeared, and he definitely brought the latest will. Fang Yingwu and Shang Mingqi held their breath, waiting for the verdict of fate.

Eunuch Qin's expression was solemn, and he slowly announced: "Command! Shang Ming dismissed the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the admiral of the East Factory errand, and sent the Nanjing Shrine as a pure army! ”

Immediately, two strong eunuchs stepped forward to arrest Shang Ming and quickly ripped off his big red python robe. And when Shang Gonggong boarded, his face was like ashes, his body trembled like chaff, and his mind was blank, not only did all the previous worries be implemented, but it was also the worst result, so bad that it couldn't be worse!

Before this afternoon, he was still the commander of Dongchang, but a few hours later, he became a prisoner! As the saying goes, Chao Wei Tian Shelang and Dusk Dengtianzi Hall, he turned around!

Shang Gonggong looked around blankly, not knowing what to do, but there was a victor's smiling face in sight Everything in the world, the most hateful person is this smiling face.

"Good little thief!" Shang Ming shouted, shook off the left and right eunuchs like a mad tiger, and pounced towards Fang Yingwu.

Fang Yingwu was secretly complacent, and he didn't watch out for a while, and was pounced on by Shang Ming. He even got up with a rolling belt, and the black gauze hat fell into his hand, and he was embarrassed for a while.

Qin Chang frowned and shouted: "What kind of system! Take it now! ”

Shang Ming was held down again, but the other party, who was still unwilling, shouted: "Little thief! What kind of tricks have you played, do you dare to show it to grandpa and me, so that you can be a ghost! ”

Fang Yingwu looked confused, and replied with great doubts: "Shang Gong, what are you talking about, I don't understand it." ”

Shang Ming was so angry that he scolded him, and he was about to go crazy again. Qin Chang shook his head, and the other party responded: "It's not too early, please leave the palace!" (To be continued......)
