Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Delaying Tactic
Walking halfway to the state government, Heng Ziping took his head and was proud. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before Bai Yujing came to Jinling as the deputy examiner, one of the henchmen under the eldest prince had already promised that if Fang Guancheng was deposed from the imperial examination this time, he would be promoted to one level if he returned.
"It just so happens that Du Xiuming will also take the opportunity to get rid of it this time. The position he left behind could be fought for one or two. Hengzi planned happily in his heart.
Du Xiuming was the head of a department and a real power official.
The four ceremonial divisions of the new dynasty are: the Department of Ceremonial Officials, the Department of Ritual and Cleansing, the Department of Honoring Rites, the Department of Military Rites, and the Administration of Academic Affairs, and the Imperial Examination Affairs; the Department of Ritual Officials, which is in charge of auspicious rites and fierce ceremonies; the Department of Host and Guest Officials, which is in charge of the affairs of guest rites and receiving foreign guests; and the Department of Fine Dining and Cleaning Officials, which is in charge of the affairs of feasts and sacrifices.
In the Ministry of Rites, there is a poem for Shangshu, two deputy heads for the waiter, the head of the four divisions for Langzhong, and the deputy director of each department for the outsider.
Among them, Lang Zhong is one level higher than Wai Lang. Heng Ziping is currently the outsider of the Ministry of Rites, and he is ranked among the five ranks.
If it weren't for the promise in front of him, he could be promoted to another level online, and Heng Ziping would not have planned so desperately, and even took risks at the Luming Banquet.
It's really too tempting to take a step, from the deputy director to the director, it seems that he is only half a level, but he has been in the court for many years, and of course Heng Ziping knows that this step is like a moat.
Not to mention, after dealing with Fang Guancheng for the eldest prince, he will automatically be branded with the identity of the eldest prince's party in the future, and he will have more opportunities to soar in officialdom in the future.
So, it's also a question that he can't choose.
In this compartment, Heng Ziping led a group of people and walked in the quiet Jinling City.
It was already night, and after the curfew, there were almost no people on the road, only a large group of soldiers escorting a few people.
"Well, we're probably in some trouble this time. Looking at Heng Ziping, who was swaggering in front of him, Du Xiuming, who was surrounded by soldiers, sighed.
He is not afraid, after all, the Zhizhou of Wuzhou is also a family of the Seven Princes, and he can't suffer much in the state prison.
But in this court, reputation is sometimes more important than ability, and he is contaminated with rumors of fraud, and even faintly wants to be confirmed, which is fatal to him.
"Master Du, are you still afraid that the imperial court will not give us a chance to defend our innocence?" Fang Haoze frowned slightly.
He also knew that in this situation, there was a great killing motive hidden in the calm, but he always believed that the Seven Princes behind him would not sit idly by.
"You don't understand this, sometimes it is more important to calm public opinion than the truth. If someone in Shilin continues to make trouble, I'm afraid I will be removed from office, and you will not be able to enter the exam for the rest of your life. Du Xiuming explained.
Indeed, Shilin candidates hate cheating the most, if they are ignited by someone with a heart. This incident is getting bigger and bigger, and when the court has to give an explanation, the two people are scapegoats at the moment, and this is not the case in ancient and modern times.
"I see. Fang Haoze only knew a little about officialdom, and at this time, he got Du Xiuming's advice, and finally knew the source of his inexplicable palpitations after he released the list during the day.
Sure enough, there are waves of unsettled, and what is especially hateful is that Heng Ziping has repeatedly calculated himself, which is really hateful.
Fang Haoze's eyes stared at the figure in front of him, and he thought of thousands of ways to retaliate. "But I haven't been to the state government now, and I'll talk about it when I see Uncle Li Shi and get through the hurdle in front of me. ”
"I don't know if the Seventh Prince can protect the two of us in front of the Great Prince, if I really can't return my innocence, I can only jump out early and choose a more difficult path. Fang Haoze thought as he walked.
Huaxilou is not far from the state government, and in a few quarters of an hour, Li Jinyu, who got the news in advance, has already stood on the side of the road with a group of officials.
Fang Haoze had good eyesight, and he saw the figure of that group of people on the street from a distance.
When everyone got closer, Li Jinyu's expression was gloomy, and he shouted an order to a group of officials behind him: "Arrest this group of ruffians and hooligans pretending to be soldiers." ”
is not a big member of the party, and Li Jinyu is really decisive. He instantly analyzed Heng Ziping's plan, and also used his own way to govern others, and even announced on the spot that the people brought by Heng Ziping were ruffians and hooligans.
I have to say that this trick is also very powerful. Fang Haoze praised it in his heart, but he knew that this move could only be used as a delaying tactic, but it could not solve the problem in front of him.
Because after this group of soldiers appeared in the Flower Theater Building, they had been clearly seen by the gentry of the city, the people of the Gongyuan and the Xinke. For a deeper reason, there is still the eldest prince standing behind these people, which is already beyond Li Jinyu's grasp.
Fortunately, Li Jinyu's soldiers made a surprise move and could achieve the best situation: at least protect Fang Haoze first.
But will things really be as Li Jinyu envisions?
"Bold Li Jinyu, these are the subordinates of General Fan of the Jiangnan Battalion, and I was transferred here for emergency with a military order, how dare you slander us?" Sure enough, Heng Ziping immediately took out the military order and said loudly.
The group of soldiers behind him were even more armed with weapons, looking tense.
"Don't listen to their nonsense, if there is anything, I will naturally take care of it. Li Jinyu made up her mind to save her nephew, and didn't give Heng Ziping a chance to argue at all, and the officials behind him instantly surrounded her.
How could a small group of soldiers be the opponent of a large number of servants, and they were controlled before they could draw their weapons.
Especially when the officials saw that Heng Ziping was about to scream, they even took out a ball of rags and stuffed it directly into his mouth, making him very embarrassed.
"Lord Du is fine, there is such a ridiculous thing under my rule, I have to apologize to you. Li Jinyu stepped forward and said to Du Xiuming: "Go to my yamen first, and talk to me in person." ”
After speaking, Li Jinyu also turned his head to Fang Haoze and said: "You send a government official to explain the situation to the Fang Mansion, so as not to worry about the lack of the backbone of the family, but you don't have to go back in the next few days, stay in the Yamen guest room, and wait for someone from Beijing to talk." ”
However, he said that now that there are rumors of fraud in Wuzhou, there must be a Qin dispatch to investigate soon. However, because of Li Jinyu's unreasonable move, in the end, he must use a misunderstanding to explain the behavior of capturing a team of soldiers.
After giving the order, Li Jinyu turned around and ordered the officials: "Send this group of bold bandits to prison." ”
The world is so ironic, it was originally Heng Ziping who wanted to send Fang Haoze to prison, but he was stuffed in.
When Heng Ziping heard this order, his mouth was stuffed tightly, but a pair of eyes were about to pop out, and he couldn't stop struggling. was dragged by a group of officials and went to the direction of the prison next to the state yamen.
When Heng Ziping and the small team of soldiers left, and there were only a few people left on the scene, Du Xiuming also spoke: "Lord Li has clever methods, in this way, when the Zhongqin mission in the capital comes here, this fraud case will become a farce, and the two parties will fight a lawsuit." ”
"But in this way, although Guancheng understands the yuan, his future in the officialdom can no longer be entered, this person is really hateful. Li Jinyu said fiercely.
He also knew that behind that General Fan was standing the eldest prince, and the seventh prince would also wrestle with him in the capital. The matter can only be concluded after the Qin mission comes to Jinling, and the current problem has not been completely resolved.
