Chapter 63: The Great Storm

Ding Xian has always pretended not to hear what Fang Xiaoru said.

This face, Ding Xian can't give Fang Xiaoru. This is not what Ding Xian meant, but the situation.

Fang Xiaoru has been famous in the world for more than 20 years. The leader of the literary world after Song Lian, the interests in this are too great, under the suppression of Zhu Yuanzhang, almost all the officials in the world are close to the prince, and after the prince, this power is given to Fang Xiaoru.

This is also rare. Fang Xiaoru became the co-owner of the heavenly officials.

After all, civil and official infighting has been going on since ancient times. It's good to have a leader who makes them a confidant. Fang Xiaoru is such a person..z.

How strong is this power, to what extent?

According to the normal process, the first assistant stepped down, and the impeachment began below. Then investigate the stepping down. That is, it is necessary to first launch the impeachment of Fang Xiaoru, which must be the kind of impeachment that everyone in the world knows, and then the emperor approves it. Shoufu himself resigned, and only then did he give dignity.

Public opinion in the newspaper is actually not important. Ding Xian: This is a precedent.

Fang Xiaoru was also the first first assistant to be taken down because of strong public opinion.

A lot of times setting precedents is stressful. Ding Xian didn't want to set this precedent, but had to open it, without him, almost all the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were Fang Xiaoru's people. As soon as Ding Xian comes into contact with these people, he will almost definitely leak the news.

This is exactly what happened, Ding Xian thought of this path. Of course.

The most important thing about this path is not that someone writes articles. After all, Yang Pu's article is good, but others also have a pen. In the future, there is no shortage of people who can write articles.

The most important thing is Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen supported the article in the newspaper, and used it to ask the guilty party filial piety is the most important thing.

And Fang Xiaoru was able to control the speech official, which made Zhu Yunwen angry.

After all, in the design of the system, the speech officials should play the tradition of using the small to control the big, and they exist to check and balance the powerful ministers. Today's sins are not made by anyone else, the cabinet ministers, and the cabinet chiefs.

It is impossible for speech officials to be controlled by the first assistant in terms of system.

However, the system is the system, and the reality is the reality.

Under the previous pressure, all the civil officials were united, and they had to face powerful enemies, nobles, relatives, and reformers, and so on.

In this way, the official is controlled by the first assistant, which is actually a small problem. After all, the biggest problem of the Ming court is actually the contradiction between imperial power and nobles. This contradiction was suppressed by the north-south dispute artificially created by Zhu Yuanzhang.

But it still exists.

In the face of these big problems, the first thing that the speaker listens to is the small one, and the problem can no longer be small.

Moreover, Fang Xiaoru is not directly in control of the speech official. Fang Xiaoru is too angry, he pays more attention to like-mindedness, and does not care about the flies and dogs in the officialdom. Alliances of interest and the like. This kind of thing has caused it to seem that all the civil officials are Fang Xiaoru's people, but in fact, they all have their own thoughts.

For example, there is a group of local officials below who are corrupt, and they are also Fang Xiaoru's people.

But the money they embezzled was distributed to many people, but it was not given to Fang Xiaoru.

This is also the reason why Ding Xian can have the courage to challenge Fang Xiaoru.

Fang Xiaoru's subordinates were too loose.

As long as it is strong enough, the officials of the heavens will not object to Ding Xian as the first assistant. This is also where Ding Xian learned from Zhu Yuanzhang. Most of the bureaucrats are actually soft bones, and they lack enough courage to resist.

They look powerful, outnumbered, but in the face of sharp swords. But they didn't have the courage to fight.

If you want to clean up the situation quickly, the best way is to go under the knife.

There weren't enough knives fast, not enough people bleed. Ding Xian will not sit on the throne of the first assistant so easily. What's more, Ding Xian doesn't have much time. He must organize the inside and outside of the court within a fast enough time so that Zhu Yunwen can see the effect.

The effect of the New Deal. Financially, it is moving in a good direction.

This must also happen as soon as possible. It's impossible to grind and chirp.

Seeing that Ding Xian didn't answer, Xiaoru naturally knew what Ding Xian meant, what could he do? It's just that in the sun, his shadow grows longer and longer.

-------

"What kind of Fang Xiaoru went to prison to die?" Yao Guangxiao said.

Li Jinglong looked at Yao Guangxiao's appearance, laughed, and said, "I didn't expect to see Mr. Yao with such an expression today."

Yao Guangxiao is always unfazed on weekdays. It seems that all the things in the world are not enough to surprise Yao Guangxiao. Li Jinglong privately called this expression a god stick face. Now Yao Guangxiao has finally broken the defense.

Yao Guangxiao sighed and said, "I didn't expect it to be so fast, so urgent, and so ruthless."

Isn't it?

Fang Xiaoru's matter took only seven days from the case to his imprisonment.

Even in ordinary civil cases, it is not easy to find out. Seven days is lightning fast. It's incredible.

And the important thing is the fate of Fang Xiaoru.

On death. This is something that Yao Guangxiao never imagined.

Yao Guangxiao actually wished that Fang Xiaoru would die. The reason is simple, Fang Xiaoru has always been the core figure of the Nanjing court. It is the pillar stone of the Nanjing Imperial Court.

That hasn't changed.

Although it is said that the world is in turmoil, which has caused the power to rise and fall. The biggest growth and decline is that the Wuxun group has once again become the center of gravity in the imperial court, and all civil officials have retreated to a secondary position. But after all, the world is Jianwen, not the early years of Hongwu.

In the early years of Hongwu, the world had just been established, and there were many vacancies in civil officials. Most civil servants come by recommendation. And the person who presided over this matter was Li Shanchang. And all civil officials are like slaves of military generals.

When a certain general goes to a certain province, all the officials in this province are naturally subordinates of this general.

But all these years have passed. It's not the same anymore.

The civilian bureaucracy, as a political force, has stood on the stage of history. There is no Fang Xiaoru, and there are others. This is already a force to be reckoned with. Even if the war resumes, the military generals will not be able to change this.

Not to mention anything else, at the beginning of the founding of the country, there was not much food in the imperial court, and many of them were military commanders, and now all the armies are just on weekdays, and once the war starts, they need rear materials. Otherwise it is simply impossible to fight.

And what is the basis of the civil service?

He is a scholar and a scholar.

Whoever can get the approval of the scholars will be supported. This is the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is a little uncertain about the other party's filial piety.

It's easy to take down Fang Xiaoru, killing Fang Xiaoru doesn't mean that these people don't exist.

As long as Fang Xiaoru can gather the opinions of these people and act as a communicable existence. Otherwise, it is more difficult to deal with.

The other party's filial piety has been punished heavily, hurting the hearts of the world's scholars, or hurting the hearts of the world's bureaucrats, will these people still do things for you honestly?

In Yao Guangxiao's view, the problem here is quite small.

Yao Guangxiao also saw that Fang Xiaoru was about to step down. But stepping down is not such a way to step down, it is simply too rude. The sequelae are also too great.

Li Jinglong also understood this, and he said, "I guess I am waiting for His Majesty's amnesty. After all, kindness comes from above."

Yao Guangxiao pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "Have you dealt with Ding Xian?"

Li Jinglong said, "I haven't dealt with him much."

Yao Guangxiao said, "You know from your dealings that this person will not do meaningless things. As long as he finds it useful, he will definitely do it. No matter what the cost. Therefore, I estimate that Fang Xiaoru is dead. Moreover, as soon as Fang Xiaoru dies, the opportunity you and I are waiting for is coming."

Li Jinglong said, "Really."

Immediately, Li Jinglong thought for a while and said, "Indeed, no matter who comes to power, this thing must be done. And Ding Xian naturally needs merit when he comes to power, and there is nothing easier than this merit. It's just a matter of having some stigma to memorize."

"It's just -----" Li Jinglong paused slightly,

said, "Fang Xiaoru will really die, I don't think it's possible."

Yao Guangxiao said, "Why don't you make a bet?"

"Bet on what?" Li Jinglong said.

"Fang Xiaoru's life and death." Yao Guangxiao said.

Li Jinglong looked at Yao Guangxiao's recovered face, and didn't know where to get more confidence, and said, "Okay, I'm betting."
