Chapter 60 The Storm is Coming
It's just that no matter what, a defeat is a defeat. Irretrievable defeat.
The thing that made Geng Bingwen even more sad was Geng Bingwen, who did not hesitate to let Zhao Yong replace him. Geng Bingwen ended up recuperating.
This makes Geng Bingwen not angry.
As a result, the illness and the injury are combined. The situation is getting worse and worse.
Geng Bingwen vomited the blood in his mouth.
Geng Rui wiped the blood from Geng Bingwen's mouth and said, "Father, let's go home."
Geng Bingwen said, "Go home, where are you going back?"
Geng Rui had a feeling for a moment, he felt that his father was crazy, why didn't he even know where his home was. Geng Rui said, "Naturally, it's Nanjing."
Geng Bingwen said: "At this time, you must not go back to Nanjing, and there will be big problems when you go back to Nanjing."
Geng Rui was a little puzzled and said, "Father, what's wrong?"
Geng Bingwen said: "This matter is also something that I have been thinking about for a long time before I understand. Why do you want to exchange Zhao Yong for me, is Zhao Yong's ability above me?"
Geng Rui said, "Naturally not. Nanxiong Hou is no better than his father."
Although Geng Bingwen knew that his son was selfish in speaking. But he also felt that Zhao Yong was inferior to himself. He said indifferently, "I was ordered to go to war, and I suffered this misfortune. Don't the people of Jingshi know that there was a problem in this battle from the beginning. Now I figured it out. Rui'er, how is your relationship with Fang Shoufu?"
Geng Rui was stunned for a moment and said, "I've only met a few times. But I was also taught under Master Song."
Geng Bingwen said: "They are all under the prince, and my relationship with Fang Shoufu is not bad. Do you understand?"
Although it is said that in the political arena, people are divided into civil and military, but the communication between people is not divided between civil and military. Geng Bingwen married Zhu Biao's daughter, and he wholeheartedly supported the crown prince Zhu Biao, so he naturally maintained a good relationship with Fang Xiaoru, the head of the Wenchen under Zhu Biao.
Sometimes, the two sides even cooperate to communicate with each other or something. It's also a normal thing.
The more Geng Rui thought about it, the more he didn't understand, and said, "Father, I don't understand."
Geng Bingwen said, "Fang Shoufu is about to fall. So those of us who are in suspicion. You have to press it first."
Geng Rui was stunned for a moment and said, "What did Fang Shoufu do wrong? Why do you want to change it?"
Fang Xiaoru has no flaws in his personal qualities. Many people who have approached Fang Xiaoru are in admiration for Fang Xiaoru's character.
Geng Bingwen said: "You don't inquire about the affairs of the imperial court, but it is also a good thing for Mr. Fang to retire."
Geng Bingwen felt that Fang Xiaoru was a bookseller. Under the influence of He Xi, he spent most of his life in the center of dealing with documents, which greatly improved his political ability and became a qualified first assistant.
But it's only qualified.
Fang Xiaoru's ability to train by Zhu Yuanzhang's side can only maintain the imperial court, but the reform and law change are not enough. After all, Fang Xiaoru hadn't really seen what the grassroots officials of Daming looked like.
There are many things that he can't target.
The world in Fang Xiaoru's eyes is the world in the case, and compared with the real world, it cannot be said to be seriously distorted. But the error is also quite large.
As a general, Geng Bingwen expressed disdain for all aspects of the Northern Army, but he was actually really frightened and determined to study the same thing. For every general who is engaged on the front line, that one does not feel a lot of pressure.
Under this kind of pressure, it doesn't work to be conservative or not, and living is the most important thing.
The battlefield is the place where life or death is not the same, and it is also the place where strength is most recognized.
Ding Xian understood this, so he decided to overthrow Fang Xiaoru. After all, it is not only the emperor who acquiesces, but even the military will probably acquiesce.
Even a general like Geng Bingwen, who had a friendship with Fang Xiaoru, felt that it was time to change the law.
It can be seen that Fang Xiaoru is in the current situation.
It's just that Geng Bingwen thinks that Fang Xiaoru
It's going to fall.
Fang Xiaoru's fate also surprised the world.
------
Before dawn, Fang Xiaoru got up.
He put on a garment, sat down at his desk, lit a lamp like a bean, and it was a bleak night outside.
"Master, why are you up?" Fang Xiaoru's old wife got up, added a set of clothes to Fang Xiaoru, and said, "And today when you say change, you have to add an extra set of clothes, and be careful of catching a cold."
Fang Xiaoru said, "Providence is like this, even if you add a few more clothes, it won't work. It's really old."
If Fang Xiaoru didn't feel anything about Ding Xian's preparation, then Fang Xiaoru was not Fang Xiaoru. But after Fang Xiaoru found out, there were various suggestions around him, such as striking first and killing Ding Xian.
After all, if you really want to talk about it, Ding Xian is much more unclean than Fang Xiaoru.
Grab a lot of black history.
Fang Xiaoru has many protégés and former officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it is not impossible to impeach Ding Xian and put pressure on Zhu Yunwen, so that Zhu Yunwen will not be able to protect Ding Xian.
But what happens after that?
There are many things, you have to ask one, what should I do after that?
History is continuous, and events do not occur in isolation. In fairy tales, the prince and princess live happily together, and it can be over. But in reality, the two of them will have chicken feathers, live as a king who died early, and a vicious queen.
It's the same now, his ideas come from all directions, not Ding Xian's thoughts, it's the emperor's thoughts, the army's thoughts, the thoughts of several princes, and even some civil officials in the court feel that it should change.
This surging tide. Let Fang Xiaoru understand one thing, that is, even if he gets Ding Xian, there will be Zhu Xian and Wang Xian.
The general trend is like this, and a person's strength is very weak.
It's just that Fang Xiaoru can't figure it out.
These people who supported him were obviously resolute opponents of He Xi's change of law a few years ago. Why is it that only a few years have passed, and the general trend is different.
This made Fang Xiaoru puzzled.
He couldn't figure out what had changed in the world. Suddenly, the minds of all the people in the world changed.
In fact, when Zhu Biao was forced to oppose the change, Fang Xiaoru was shaken. He saw the benefits of He Xi's change of law, and even had the idea of integrating He Xi's law into his own body, and recombining He Xi's new law with Confucianism. Formation of new learning.
But in the end, he still embarked on the road of opposing He Xi.
It was because of many people, at that time, there was simply a steady stream of people coming to Fang Xiaoru to say how bad the new law was, especially Emperor Taizu's inspection of the following, it was simply forcing him to death, and if this continued, there would definitely be a big mess in the southeast.
Influence in various ways.
Fang Xiaoru also had some communication with some generals in the army, and most of the army generals actually didn't care about He Xi's new law, and even scoffed at it. Fang Xiaoru came to a conclusion, that is, even if He Xi came to power to change the law, he would definitely fail. It can even cause problems in all aspects.
It's like the old and new parties in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Only then did Fang Xiaoru make up his mind and resolutely stand on the opposite side with He Xi.
It's only been a few years, and there hasn't been much change, many people are the people of the year, but the words are not the words of the year.
This made Fang Xiaoru sigh in his heart: "People's hearts are changeable."
At this point, Fang Xiaoru no longer had the idea of resisting. There is even a meaning of active cooperation, and he is tired of these anyway. The Emperor wanted to dismiss him. Let's just do it, as long as the emperor leaves him a little dignity, he can go home to support his old age.
Although it is said that there is no age difference between Fang Xiaoru and He Xi, now Fang Xiaoru is only about forty years old. It stands to reason that there are still a lot of years, and politicians have not even reached the golden age.
But the situation is like this, and if you should retreat, you should retreat.
Fang Xiaoru also knew that this was the best choice. But I don't know how. Fang Xiaoru always felt uneasy in his heart, and he slept very shallow every day, and once he woke up, he couldn't sleep again. I don't know what it was
I ignored it.
Or what does this feeling represent?
Fang Xiaoru has been sitting at the desk in the middle of the night every day for the past few days, and he doesn't read a book, just staring at a lamp like a bean, and the flames are jumping and spinning on it, just like Fang Xiaoru's life, countless winds and waves have passed like this, and only this little light is left, which is still slowly lit.
