Chapter 344: Hard Backing
Hearing that these things were asked, the officials were stunned for a while, and some of them didn't know what to say.
He was just ordered to watch the people here not to make a big fuss, and not to cause any trouble. As for the rest, he just didn't know.
Of course, what happened last night was told to him by his colleagues when he changed shifts this morning, and he also knew about Fan Zhongyan's dismissal. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stood here and watched the "excitement".
Just know what to say? This official had never been in contact with such a big official, and he didn't know how to speak for a while, for fear of saying something wrong.
The official didn't answer, Fu Bi frowned and said, "What? You are staying here, don't you even know that Fan Xianggong is haunting the house? ”
Seeing that Fu Bi was a little anxious, he was afraid that the officials who would be blamed would not be able to manage so much, so he hurriedly replied, "Back to the words of the adult, Fan Xianggong is no longer Xianggong, and he is now dismissed." As for this morning, no one has been in or out of Fan's house. ”
"What?" After Fu Bi heard this, his face changed greatly.
Fan Zhongyan was dismissed?
This is either fantasy or nonsense.
He was one of the ministers of the imperial court, a dignified governor of the state, and the main promoter of the New Deal.
How could he be dismissed?
There were a hundred unbelievers in my heart, but when I saw the people gathered in front of Fan's mansion, they were all very excited. The surrounding officials were not driven away, not to mention turning a blind eye.
Everything that happened seemed to prove that Fan Zhongyan was really dismissed. Otherwise, even if they lend ten guts to Kaifeng Mansion, they don't dare to let the people make trouble in front of the officials.
Could it be that Fan Xianggong was really dismissed?
So what happened last night that I didn't know about?
I still remember when I went down to the office yesterday afternoon, Fan Zhongyan was still fine, how long has it been, why did things become like this?
Fu Bi had too much confusion in his heart, but at this time, he really didn't dare to care anymore.
Not for anything else, it's not that Fu Bi is a timid person, it's just that he doesn't know the inside story now, don't Fan Zhongyan really committed something terrible, he is coming out, then he will be implicated, that is really wrong.
Fu Bi left and headed for the palace. He thought in his heart that if Fan Xianggong was really wronged, he would definitely stand up and speak for him. Anyway, everyone is also a colleague, and he still admires Fan Zhongyan's ability to be a person and do things.
In fact, not only Fu Bi, but also other adults who passed by here, although they did not get off the sedan chair in person, they still asked the accompanying servants to inquire about what happened. Soon, news came out about Fan Zhong's dismissal last night.
All those who got the news were panicked.
Although we don't know exactly what's going on, one thing is for sure, and that's that it's going to change.
It's just a second-class governor who has an accident, which is already a frightening thing. Not to mention, the current Fan Zhongyan is still in charge of the New Deal, and he is now dismissed, does that mean that the New Deal is also going to stop?
What happened to Zhao Zhen to make such a decision?
And why was Fan Xianggong dismissed? Will anyone else be implicated in this?
Soon, when the people who had this idea looked at the other colleagues, their eyes changed a little, as if everyone looked like suspects.
Especially for people like Fu Bi and Han Qi who are usually close to Fan Zhongyan and participate in the Qingli New Deal, it is even more like something annoying on their bodies, which makes people involuntarily stay away and deliberately keep their distance.
For all this that happened, Fu Bi and others couldn't laugh or cry. However, more than anyone else, they want to know what is going on, what it has to do with it, and whether there is any possibility of saving.
There is one more important one, that is, what will happen next for the new deal?
In the face of all this, no one gave them an answer. Because most of the officials don't know what's going on.
Yin Luwu of Kaifeng Prefecture, who handled the case, knew what was going on, but he would not participate in the early dynasty under normal circumstances, unless he was notified in advance.
Lu Wu was not there, and the others didn't know what was going on. Of course, there are also people in the know, such as Pang Ji, who is also involved in political affairs.
But he won't talk to anyone else.
In fact, he is also skeptical of Su Shi's statement, and he also wants to see what the official family says about this matter today.
Soon, as the time approached, all the ministers were not talking, and stood there in line one by one, waiting for Zhao Zhen to appear.
They were destined to be disappointed, Zhao Zhen did not come, only Zhang Mao walked up to the hall with a whisk in his hand, "The official family is in poor health, and the dynasty will disperse this morning." If any minister has something to do, he can write a recital and report it. ”
That is to say, after these words, Zhang Mao turned around and left.
In front of everyone's eyes, even if everyone was very curious, no one asked Zhang Maoze. For example, Zhao Yunrang, these people who had a good relationship with the Zhongguan, had already strode out of the Vertical Arch Hall and began to use their connections to understand what happened last night.
There are no impermeable pants in the world.
Although last night's matter was urgent, there were many people in the palace who knew the situation, but most of them were not qualified to enter the Zichen Palace, and they didn't know Su Shi's comments on the new policy.
What they know is that Su Shi went to Kaifeng Mansion to report Changxingfang with his real name, and then Lu Wu went out with hundreds of officials, and then Fan Zhongyan entered the palace, and soon Lu Zhifu and Su Shaofu also entered the palace, and the final result was that Fan Zhongyan was dismissed from the official body.
Not only that, Kaifeng Mansion went to Fan's Mansion overnight to search and raided Zhen's belongings.
The matter came out and was known to more and more people, but all the courtiers who learned about the situation were shocked.
Their surprise came from two things.
First, most of them have various industries in Bianliang City, after all, the right not to expire is common in any dynasty.
It was normal at the time to have some power to use it for your own benefit.
It's just that now a Changxingfang has lost Fan Zhongyan's second-grade official position, which is equivalent to the deputy prime minister's political affairs, and it is the real power and second-grade official position of the Eight Classics.
Say no, there will be no more. That's like some third-grade and fourth-grade officials, they also have these underground industries, once the officials are investigated, will they be good?
For a while, the entire Bianliang City became lively. Many industries that usually look glamorous have begun to become low-key, and some are timid, just closing their doors or selling them at a price.
This is cheaper than the Su Shi that has been prepared for a long time.
Last night, after Su Shi sent Pang away, he called the housekeeper Zhou Quan, gave him a full amount of tens of millions of silver, and told him that if there were properties for sale in Bianliang City today, they would all be bought for him, as long as the price was right, then there would be no one to come.
Bianliang City is a place where every inch of land is valuable, 10 million yuan, it is indeed a lot to put there, but if you say how many properties you can buy in Bianliang City because of this, it is also nonsense. The most important thing is that some industries cannot be bought with silver, and they are supported by people with strength and background behind them, and they are not bad for money.
Finally, such an opportunity appeared, and Su Shi certainly would not let it go. As for the money, Su Shi is the least bad, it's a big deal for him to go to the system to exchange for silver, that's as much as he wants, although this will waste a lot of faith points, but as long as it's worth it, Su Shi will not be stingy and distressed.
The second point that surprised the ministers was that the matter seemed to be related to Su Shaofu again.
Fan Zhongyan just proposed to hand over Su Shi in the morning and hand it over to the Western Xia envoy, but something happened in the afternoon with Changxingfang, and he would be dismissed in the evening. In the end, Su Shi's punishment was just to keep his mouth shut and think about it for a while.
One stayed at home, and the other was dismissed, and it is already obvious who the official family is better for.
Before, everyone just regarded Su Shi as a loose official who could make money for the official family, or a noble businessman. But now, they know they're wrong.
A person who says that he can bring down the prime minister of the court, such a person, do you regard him as a noble businessman? That just means you're having a broken head.
After Su Shi once again showed the instinct of a hedgehog, everyone involuntarily had an idea, that is, to stay away from Su Shi in the future.
But they don't have to ask about anything that Su Shi is involved in. They don't think that they are tougher than Fan Zhongyan, and they can withstand Su Shi's revenge and counterattack.
Of course, there are also some speculative officials, after they know about this matter, they think that they see hope and opportunity, that is, the opportunity to hug Su Shi's thigh.
These people are usually middle-level officials of the fourth, fifth and sixth grades, and many of them are loose officials, like Su Shi, who have no real power.
Their abilities may be average, or they may be very strong, and the reason why they do not stand out is because there is no good platform for them to perform. They also thought about hugging other thighs, but which one of the prime ministers didn't have a group of dead friends gathered around him a long time ago, and how could a halfway person like them cut the line casually?
Now it's okay, Su Shi seems to be about to rise, and in the face of this sudden appearance of the thigh, some people have thought about it, thinking that if there are dates or not, they will hold a pole first, what if they are favored by Su Shi?
In this way, not to mention that it will soar, but as long as it is recognized by Su Shi, whoever wants to bully them in the future will have to think twice.
In this way, in the morning, the front of the Jiuzhou Qiaosu Mansion became a little lively, and a total of four courtiers came to take refuge before and after.
Some people died, but not completely......
