I saw him rise up a tall building, I saw him feast guests, and I saw his building collapse!

In just one hour, Du Fu and Yuan Jie saw how Fang Chongyong called for wind and rain in Xinghualou at the beginning, and "shook people" to shake Yin Zheng Shuqing of Jingzhao Mansion. The latter pressed the face of Zhang Zheng, the son of Zhang Yi in the imperial history, and rubbed it on the ground, and took him and his accompanying friends away.

Then Fang Chongyong talked to Du Fu and Yuan Jie about his "history of struggle", those experiences that make people envious, jealous and hateful, even if they are like Du Fu Yuanjie, who have suffered a lot of cold eyes, they also feel like ashes.

You say it's hateful, Fang Yanei is still his own nobleman, and he is willing to help with the rolls for free, not to mention, but also invited them to eat at the most upscale restaurant in Chang'an.

But if you want to say that this kind of person is very kind, it also makes Du Fuyuan hate itchy.

Of course, they don't hate Fang Chongyong himself, but hate this world!

The powerful and powerful, even the best of them to speak, walk sideways in the officialdom, at most if you don't get in the way, he won't kill you.

"Fang Yuanjun is kind to us, no matter what, we still have to go to Yongjiafang and inform his family about this matter."

Yuan Jie, who was deeper in mind and more sleek, said to Du Fu.

"That's true."

Du Fu nodded slightly.

Although he felt that Fang Chongyong was probably going to be finished, because Jin Wuwei didn't even ask, he arrested him, it was obvious that he was targeted, not unprepared.

Fang Chongyong wants to rely on his own strength to get out of trouble, and the difficulty is not ordinary!

But eating people has a short mouth and a soft hand. If something happens to Fang Chongyong, they won't say anything about the imperial examination this time, and they will be right to fall off the list directly!

Let's give it a go, maybe there will be a turnaround!

The two quietly left Xinghualou and quietly walked towards Yongjiafang, which was not far from here. They have been to Fang Chongyong's house, and now they are familiar with the road, I hope it is still too late.

Du Fu and Yuan Jie were both full of worries in their hearts.

……

In the study of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, the study of Zhang Shouqi's house, the left prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was sitting quietly on the soft cushion, waiting for news.

His eldest son, Zhang Xiancheng, walked around the study a little anxiously, clearly looking restless.

Seeing that the other party was so calm, Zhang Shouqi chuckled and said: "Fang Chongyong has been an official in Hexi for four years, and our father and son also started their families in Hexi, so they are still villagers." You, Hexi Qiuba, are not soft at all when you attack him, Hexi Qiuba. ”

Zhang Shouqi's words were full of appreciation, obviously not thinking that Zhang Xiancheng had done anything wrong.

Because that's politics!

"Father, in a foolish opinion, it is difficult for Zhang Yi to pay homage this time, and his son Zhang Zheng is even more of a wine bag and rice bag. If it weren't for him doing something bad in Xinghua Building, it would have been easy for his father to do it.

A certain group of scribes had already been organized, and they were ready to spread rumors that the right minister was going to commit fraud in this imperial examination in the major restaurants and liquor stores in Chang'an. Once the rumors are hyped up, we can move forward with the next step.

Unexpectedly, that party Chongyong took the opportunity to make a decision and asked Zheng Shuqing to arrest Zhang Zheng in the name of fraud in the imperial examination, and robbed us of the first hand. The right minister must use the picketing of the imperial examination as an excuse to put Zhang Zheng to death, encircle Wei to save Zhao, and let Zhang Yi be used by them!

Now if we go and spread similar rumors, the unlucky one can only be Zhang Yi, or even lead the fire to ourselves, and we will not be able to hurt the right side in the slightest.

Zhang Zheng's waste is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and his father must not cooperate with Zhang Yi to deal with the right minister, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”

Zhang Xiancheng patiently persuaded.

"I'm thinking about it as a father."

Zhang Shouqi nodded slightly and said.

As the left minister, mastering the high-end power fighting technology is just a skill standard, and without this skill, he will not be able to do it for long in the position of prime minister.

Zhang Shouqi is naturally unwilling to be a queen, even if he didn't care before, after being worshiped as the left minister, he also learns and grows quickly. Especially after he saw Li Linfu's technique of quietly putting people to death, he was even more amazed by it, and admired it extremely in his heart!

Learn from Li Linfu, defeat Li Linfu, and become Li Linfu.

Zhang Shouqi not only did not have any prejudice against Li Linfu, but attached great importance to this opponent, just as he attached importance to the enemy on the battlefield!

Back then, Zhang Shouqi and Zhang Jiuling had no grudges at all, and even the two were still a family five hundred years ago! But when Li Longji asked Li Linfu and Zhang Jiuling if Zhang Shouqi could pay homage to him, Zhang Jiuling categorically vetoed it, and said a lot of bad things about Zhang Shouqi in strong words.

However, Li Linfu is more in favor of letting Zhang Shouqi pay homage to the prime minister!

Isn't Zhang Jiuling's official reputation better, why did he stop Zhang Shouqi from worshipping the prime minister? In fact, there is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, and human beings are animals of power.

Zhang Shouqi became the prime minister, so the former imperial history supported by Zhang Jiuling Yan Tingzhi couldn't go up.

Now, Zhang Shouqi and Li Linfu are fighting to the death for power, which is exactly the same as the reason why Zhang Jiuling stopped Zhang Shouqi from worshipping the prime minister.

Li Linfu will get power, but he will not be a person?

Li Linfu is indeed superior in power fighting skills, and Zhang Shouqi has a hard time coping with it, and often suffers secret losses.

However, he doesn't need to have a hard top with Li Linfu, he can also pull a helper and play the "confrontation between the two strongs" into a "three-legged stand"!

This time, Zhang Shouqi took Zhang Zhengzhongdi as a condition, plus promoted Zhang Yi to worship the prime minister, in exchange for the full support of the Yushitai where Zhang Yi was located in the imperial history.

With Zhang Yi's support, Zhang Shouqi's shortcomings can be greatly strengthened, that is, the weakness of the central yamen and the disadvantage that the strength is mainly concentrated in the military department. This status quo has actually been tacitly approved by Li Longji, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty.

Brother Ji usually shows closeness and promotion to Zhang Yi beyond specifications, which is a hint in itself.

Therefore, the person who is really "cheating" is not Li Linfu, but the "leftist forces" headed by Zhang Shouqi.

And in the process of this "two-sided showdown", whether the imperial examination itself has any drawbacks has become insignificant.

Whoever is selected as a jinshi and who is not selected is just a political weight.

Just as Zhang Shouqi was thinking about it, a Jinwu guard was being led into the study by his subordinates, and he bowed to him and said: "Zuo Xiang, the person has been caught, and there is no resistance." The person is now in the Jinwuwei Yamen. ”

It's done!

Hearing this news, Zhang Shouqi was overjoyed!

He was very worried about a situation, that is, when his eldest son Zhang Xiancheng came back to tell him, Fang Chongyong had already gone home, or had already gone elsewhere. At that time, it was difficult for them to find a way to arrest people.

Since Zhang Zheng, who appeared in Xinghualou, is a fraudulent candidate. So Fang Chongyong, who also appeared in Xinghualou, could it be that he was also a fraudulent candidate?

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

Therefore, Jin Wuwei invited Fang Chongyong to the Jin Wuwei Yamen on the grounds of suspected fraud in the imperial examination...... Signed the house and put him under house arrest.

After all, the other party has the false position of General Qianniuwei, and with this identity, Jin Wuwei can't send him to prison at will. However, it is still possible to detain Fang Chongyong in Jinwuwei on the grounds of "investigation and questioning", and then wait for Li Longji to return to Chang'an, or after his own affairs are completed, he can still be acquitted.

This hand is clean and clean, leaving no mouth!

Is Fang Chongyong suspected of cheating in the imperial examination?

Of course.

Did you find out the problem?

I didn't find out, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't check it!

In the imperial history, Zhang Yi's son can be investigated, but Fang Youde's son can't be investigated?

This is typical procedural justice!

As for why Jin Wuwei wanted to investigate and didn't transfer it to Jingzhao Mansion to investigate, it was of course because Fang Chongyong had a good relationship with Yin Zheng Shuqing of Jingzhao Mansion! When a case is being heard, it is a basic principle for relatives and friends to recuse themselves.

Therefore, Zhang Shoujue's shot this time can be described as fast, accurate, and ruthless, with strict logic, leaving no troubles, and not doing things absolutely.

As long as you catch someone, it's done!

If Fang Chongyong's father Fang Youde asked, Zhang Shouqi could explain: Your son has already intervened in the political struggle at the top of the Tang Dynasty, and I put him under house arrest to protect him, so you don't have to thank me, we have a relationship with the robes who have worked together in Youzhou!

Fang Youde probably couldn't say anything, and he didn't treat his son well!

Zhang Xiancheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and when he came out of Xinghualou, he rode a horse and galloped all the way, and hurried home. And persuaded Zhang Shouqi in one go, and immediately mobilized Jin Wuwei, who maintained law and order in Chang'an City, and first "invited" Fang Chongyong to the Jin Wuwei Yamen to "assist in the investigation".

If you don't go to jail, you don't have to go through the procedure. If you don't go through the procedure, outsiders will have no fulcrum for interference, and there will be no way to dictate Jin Wuwei's internal affairs!

As long as Fang Chongyong is not abused, beaten, or even accidentally killed inside, then there is no flaw in this matter!

"The previous plan doesn't work, so what are we going to do now?"

Zhang Shouqi looked at his eldest son Zhang Xiancheng and asked.

This son has been brilliant since he was a child, and when he grows up, he is even more lively, and he has a strong ability to act on opportunities. For all important matters, Zhang Shouqi will first consult the advice of his eldest son.

"Father, we can't go down the road of cheating in the imperial examination, it will only hurt us.

Zhang Yi doesn't have to worry about it, he will be implicated by his son Zhang Zheng sooner or later.

Now that Zheng Shuqing hasn't interrogated anything, let's hurt his ten fingers instead of cutting off one of his fingers, don't do anything, just chase Jingzhao Mansion and beat him hard!

Defeating the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion is to defeat the aggressive momentum of the right minister, and the wind direction of the central hundred officials will also be knocked out. ”

Zhang Xiancheng said calmly.

Zhang Shouqi stood up from the cushion and paced back and forth in the study, thinking about Zhang Xiancheng's countermeasures in his mind.

"So, how do you get rid of Zheng Shuqing? That dog officer is as smooth as a loach, and it's hard to be caught! ”

Zhang Shouqi said with a slight frown. What kind of character the people around Li Linfu were, he had already figured out.

Zheng Shuqing belongs to a freak who has almost no ability to do things, but his level of being an official has exploded against the sky. As long as I don't do things, then others can't find flaws, which seems to be Lao Zheng's motto.

"Father, there is a trick that can not only solve the Jingzhao Mansion, but also drag the right minister who presides over the imperial examination into the water!"

Zhang Xiancheng had a wicked smile on his face, rubbed his wrist and said.

"Where did the plan come from?"

Zhang Shouqi asked in a low voice.

Zhang Xiancheng leaned into Zhang Shouqi's ear and said for a long time. The expression on the latter's face became more and more relaxed, and finally laughed!

"Hahahahaha, good! This trick is really well used! Even I couldn't have thought of anything better than this!

I am very pleased to have a tiger son in my family.

You have learned to apply the art of war to government affairs, and in time, a certain achievement will not be as good as yours! ”

Zhang Shouqi laughed with relief, and he patted Zhang Xiancheng's shoulder hard.

"Father praised it falsely, this is just some small trick that cannot be put on the table. Compared to his father's Jin Ge Iron Horse, that is still too far behind. ”

Zhang Xiancheng saluted very modestly, and did not have the arrogance of Zhang Zheng and other young people in Chang'an Wuling.

Hexi's top Qiu Ba, forbearance like a wolf, one blow will kill.

Living is the most important thing, interests are the first, what's the use of being arrogant?

Zhang Xiancheng felt that the comfortable environment of Chang'an had cultivated a large number of unwise and courageless young people, who had already been hollowed out by wine, and these people were almost broken out of their brains.

On this stage, sooner or later, it will be the turn of an official eunuch like himself to sing the leading role.

Zhang Xiancheng thought secretly in his heart.

Among the young generation he knows now, only Fang Chongyong, who he knows today, makes him jealous.

……

"What to do? What to do? What to do? ”

Anaye walked up and down in the lobby of the house, her eyes red from crying, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

When he was in Hexi, Fang Chongyong was a figure like the overlord of Shazhou, with countless supporters and supporters, where would there be a situation where someone would be arrested.

When Du Fu and Yuan Jie came to report the news, she was already scared stupid. Anaye had never thought about what the situation would be like when Fang Chongyong was gone, she didn't even dare to think about such an accident, like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand!

"Shut up!"

Wang Yunxiu yelled at Anaye! Gloomy complexion!

Yi Fang Chongyong's family background, plus the marriage relationship of marrying the daughter of Hedong Jiedu, not to mention walking sideways in Chang'an, at least ordinary people can't afford to provoke!

Now that he has been captured by Jin Wuwei's people, there must be something strange in it. Listening to the rhetoric of Du Fu and others, it seems that ...... It is likely to be related to the imperial examination.

At this moment, Zheng Shuqing's shouts came from outside.

"Nephew Fang Xian! Hurry up and help, this official can't stand it here! ”

Zheng Shuqing was led to the lobby by Zhang Guangsheng while shouting, and then he saw two women in Fang Chongyong's family, one was crying with tears and red eyes, and the other was holding his arms and his face was gloomy, as if he was going to draw a knife to kill!

"Mrs. Wang, this official has something important to ask for your family Ah Lang, I don't know if it's inconvenient to meet now?"

Zheng Shuqing asked cautiously.

In fact, when he entered the door, he felt strange, because Fang Chongyong usually came out to greet him in person. And his entourage Zhang Guangsheng actually didn't say a word, kept his mouth shut, and in the face of his question, he just made a gesture of "please in the house".

"My family Ah Lang was arrested by Jin Wuwei, not long after Zheng Fuyin left Xinghualou."

Wang Yunxiu saluted at Uncle Zheng's crossed hands and said.

"Huh?"

Zheng Shuqing thought he had heard it wrong!

He interrogated Zhang Zheng, but this hard-mouthed guy just said that he did not cheat in the imperial examination, and shouted that Zheng Shuqing could not have any evidence, he just went out to drink with his friends.

And Zhang Zheng's so-called "friends" all said that there was no fraud, and they wanted Jingzhao Mansion to release them.

Zhang Zheng's father, Zhang Yi, also sent someone to inquire what was going on, why he wanted to arrest people for no reason, and whether there was any evidence.

Zheng Shuqing felt that he couldn't stand it anymore.

"The concubine has made it very clear that my family Ah Lang was captured by Jin Wuwei."

Wang Yunxiu said angrily.
