Fang Yingwu spent the whole afternoon in nervousness, and then left the guild hall very anxiously and headed towards the Jinyi Guards Office in the south of the imperial city.
This road is very familiar, and this gate is also very familiar. I have spent a large part of my time in the capital on this road, but my arrival today has a different meaning than the previous times. The previous times were a process, and this time
Maybe that's the result.
The official who was standing at the gate of the Jinyiwei Yamen Office saw Fang Yingwu and led him in. Government offices all over the world are similar. After passing through the second door, they came to the main hall.
What is different from other places is that the open space in front of the main hall of Jinyiwei is large enough to accommodate thousands of people standing, presumably because of special needs.
Fang Yingwu climbed up the stairs. At this time, both seats in the hall were empty, and no one was sitting there. The one in the middle must be the seat of the chief judge, and the one next to it is the seat of the jury.
Fang Yingwu stood in the corner inside the door and waited for a while. Hearing the sound of several drums, a group of people came in from the back of the hall, surrounding the two adults and taking their seats.
Sitting in the middle of the hall in the presiding position are the Crown Prince Shaobao in a black gauze robe and full crown, the Minister of Rites, and the Grand Scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion Liu Ji.
This was the first time that Fang Yingwu saw Liu Mianmian in official robes, and he suddenly felt that he was much more majestic than he usually was at home.
Sitting next to Academician Liu is an old man with white beard and hair, who is estimated to be over seventy years old. He is wearing a golden flying fish suit, which is very eye-catching.
This was also the first time that Fang Yingwu saw the famous flying fish suit. According to later legends, Jin Yiwei seemed to be wearing a flying fish suit, but Fang Yingwu had never seen it before.
The identity of this old man is obviously ready to be revealed. Of course, he is the commander of the Jinyi Guards and the person in charge of the Jinyi Guards, Mr. Yuan Bin. He is a hero of the country.
Looking at his position, Fang Yingwu guessed that there was some compromise in the end. This interrogation did not completely abandon Jin Yiwei and let Mr. Yuan act as a jury.
Fang Yingwu came forward to pay homage to the presiding examiner, Grand Scholar Liu, and said, "Today I have to deal with my father's affairs, which has delayed the elder's rest and made the students uneasy."
Liu Ji nodded businesslikely and said, "It's nothing to do with state affairs." After he finished answering, he realized that something was wrong with what Fang Yingwu said, and his answer was also wrong.
What does "delayed rest" mean? It's just late afternoon. For a minister who theoretically works all day, is the afternoon the time to rest?
Liu Ji secretly thought that this son would not be so careless in his speech. It was probably because he was going to see his father this time that he was excited and distracted.
Fang Yingwu simply bowed his hand to Yuan Bin again. There was a difference between civil and military affairs, but the etiquette was far different. After that, he stood aside quietly, waiting for the interrogation to begin.
Academician Liu coughed and shouted: "Tiren!"
Fang Yingwu turned his head and looked out the door, eagerly awaiting his father's appearance.
Under the summer sunshine, a tall and handsome man slowly walked in from the west corner door of the courtyard. He was escorted by four royal guards and headed towards the lobby.
This must be his father. Fang Yingwu was facing the sun and couldn't see his appearance clearly for a while.
When Fang Qingzhi walked outside the threshold and faced Fang Yingwu inside the threshold, both of them were stunned. Fang Qingzhi was surprised by the appearance of his son, while Fang Yingwu was surprised because
Father's eyes are very special, as deep as lake water, with a hint of sadness rippling out of them.
Look at his loose bun, stained with a few yellow grass stems, and a few strands of messy hair floating on his forehead, but it still cannot destroy the melancholy style of this picture;
He was wearing an old blue official robe, with a few holes ripped randomly, but it did not detract from his aloof and upright temperament at all. As for the few touches of loess and black mud on his face, they could only be embellishments on the white jade face.
Fang Yingwu suddenly felt ashamed of himself. He was always proud of his appearance and temperament, but compared with his father, he suddenly became a star.
He also understood a question that he had always been unable to figure out. Why, with his father's temper, so many women would rush to the door instead of moths to the flames. This was the biggest reason!
This kind of half-baked young man with gorgeous lines and melancholy temperament has a destructive power on women of all ages. Moreover, it seems that his father has a serious and stubborn character, which makes him even more attractive in the eyes of women.
Fang Qingzhi looked at his slightly stupid son and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"
Fang Yingwu came to his senses, quickly pushed the golden mountain and knocked down the jade pillar, took two steps forward and knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and then replied: "I came here when I heard that my father was in trouble."
Fang Qingzhi sighed, "It's all my father's fault that I've suffered so much for you." Just as he was saying this, he saw Fang Yingwu's scholar's green shirt and asked in surprise: "Have you entered school?"
Fang Yingwu replied proudly: "My son was admitted by the master in the spring of this year and entered the county to study as a junior student. He just matched the quota left by his father."
Fang Qingzhi smiled and said, "There is someone in our Fang family coming soon!"
Liu Ji patted Xingmu and interrupted the conversation between father and son. The Jinyiwei Official School escorted Fang Qingzhi to the front, while Fang Yingwu, who was here to listen, was isolated to the side.
Liu Ji looked at Fang Qingzhi below and sighed: "We are from the same lineage as Hanyuan. I don't want to interrogate you. In fact, there is nothing to interrogate. Fang Qingzhi, if you write a letter of acknowledgment of your mistakes and regrets, you can ask me to
It’s enough for the Emperor to explain it.”
Fang Qingzhi said coldly: "What's wrong with me?"
Liu Ji responded tit for tat: "You are restless, talk wantonly, and slander ministers."
"Mr. Liu Ge, ask yourself, do you think you are a qualified prime minister?"
Clay figurines also have a three-part fire nature. Liu Ji suddenly became angry, but then he thought that he had worked so hard to restore his reputation and could not let it go to waste.
Fang Yingwu looked at his father who was really worried. He couldn't help but said through the wall of people: "What if father endures the humiliation for the time being, writes a letter of repentance, and remains useful?"
Fang Qingzhi shouted: "Shut up! Is this what the sages teach you?"
Commander Yuan, who had been silent until now, interjected: "There's no point in talking nonsense here. Fang Shuchang should go down first. Put pen, ink, paper and inkstones in the prison. When you write a letter of repentance, you can talk about other things later."
Liu Ji thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do it this way."
Fang Qingzhi was escorted down. When he reached the door, Commander Yuan suddenly spoke again and shouted to Fang Yingwu behind the wall: "Young Master of the Fang family! There are several adults in the court who are impeaching Uncle Wang Tong.
, but I heard that you have colluded with him and are going to Dongchang tomorrow to exonerate him!"
When Fang Qingzhi heard what he said, he suddenly turned around and stared at Fang Yingwu, but was pushed out by the Jinyiwei Officer School before he had a chance to speak.
Fang Yingwu was caught off guard and looked at Commander Yuan in astonishment, and then at his father's back. He could feel that his father's eyes just stared at him full of reproach and dissatisfaction.
No wonder Commander Yuan hurriedly organized the interrogation this afternoon before Dongchang could inquire about the fight, and asked himself to observe it.
It turned out that this was the purpose of the fight! It was to use his father's power to put pressure on himself as a filial son. Moreover, he was far away from his father and had no chance to explain! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature for better updates of the novel. Faster!)
