Chapter 290 Battle with the characteristics of Ming Dynasty
Fang Yingwu stood by himself and thought wildly. He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he turned a deaf ear to his father's questions. This made Fang Qingzhi a little anxious and dissatisfied. He coughed heavily, waking Fang Yingwu out of his daze:
"What the hell happened to you?"
It seemed that he could catch his son in a wrongdoing, but it was not easy. Fang Qingzhi actually had a vague sense of expectation, but his son got stuck in a key place. How could he not be anxious?
When thinking about this, Fang Qingzhi suddenly realized that his thoughts were very ungentlemanly. This must be because "the person who is close to Mo is black", Fang Qingzhi secretly sighed, as for who is "Mo" is self-evident. He
He quickly recited a few words of "a gentleman is virtuous" silently, suppressing his inexplicable and strange pleasure.
Fang Yingwu had no choice but to explain the matter in detail again. As expected, he immediately received a severe reprimand from his father.
"Nonsense! Even if Xiang Chengxian is trapped in the Army and Horses Division, how can my father and the princes sit idly by and ignore it? What's the point of you doing such nonsense in private? The capital is not a place where you can run wild at will. How will others view this matter if it spreads?
Our Fang family?" Fang Qingzhi lectured for a few words, and finally said: "Go back to your room and reflect behind closed doors. You are not allowed to go out before the exam!"
Unable to reason with his elders in this regard, Fang Yingwu returned to the courtyard with self-awareness and went to study behind closed doors again. The next day, Xiang Chengxian came over again and invited Fang Yingwu to go out to play, but Fang Yingwu said a compliment
The word "roll".
In the next few days, Fang Yingwu finally saw what it meant to make a fuss out of a molehill.
Yu Yushi and Zhang Bulang jointly wrote in the memorial: "I was ordered to inspect the alleys of Jiaofangsi and strictly prohibit the officials from engaging in social customs. After two days of investigation, only one person, Liu Tan, a student of the Imperial Academy was found."
After the content spread, it made people laugh and laugh inexplicably. Needless to say, the second young master Liu in the memorial was really eye-catching, but it felt like thousands of arrows were fired and only one mosquito was hit.
The direct consequence was that the Second Young Master Liu Tan suddenly became a celebrity in the capital. No one who really understands dares to take it lightly, there will definitely be a follow-up.
In just two days, memorials to impeach Liu Jue appeared like a snowflake. According to incomplete statistics, there were at least twenty or thirty letters. They came from a wide range of sources, including Ke Dao, six, and even Shuntian Prefecture and Jingxian County.
A voice.
The content was mostly about reprimanding the Second Young Master Liu for his misbehavior, but in the end it could be extended to Liu Cifu. In other words, using the Second Young Master Liu as the trigger, he built momentum by criticizing the Second Young Master Liu, which eventually led to the impeachment of Second Assistant Liu Cifu.
The trend of 珝.
The most minor accusations in the memorial were that Liu Cifu was not good at teaching his son, such as "Having a son and a father shows that his conduct is hypocritical", "He has dangerous intentions and is shallow", "He is harsh in appearance but lacking in talent", and all kinds of other things.
Curses and curse words kept pouring out. If this was a salvo attack, it would definitely be saturated.
Fang Yingwu had never observed a battle at such a close range, and it was an official battle with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty. It was an eye-opener and a time-travel experience, and he had a further intuitive understanding of the operation mode of the Ming Dynasty court.
In fact, it is not a big deal that the Second Young Master Liu is looking for a woman or a willow. It just goes against the rules and violates the rules and regulations on paper. But for a moment, everyone screamed and beat him, even involving his father, as if it was a huge sin.
This kind of fighting is simply an extremely arrogant and unreasonable argument.
Is this reasonable? Fang Yingwu didn't know, but he knew that if he wanted to get involved in the official circles of the Ming Dynasty, he had to adapt to this rule and this phenomenon.
The Ming Dynasty is known as having a wide open space for speech, but the most taboo thing is to block the speech. There are advantages and disadvantages, and the consequences will inevitably be that scolding wars like this one will happen from time to time.
Today is still the middle and early Ming Dynasty, when party struggle was relatively less intense. It was not the peak period of party struggle activities. What if it had been replaced by the Jiajing and Wanli years, when party struggle was the fiercest and the atmosphere was the most unbridled?
Fang Yingwu also had a profound understanding. If he does not have strong psychological quality and ability to withstand pressure, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the temple. Otherwise, only one group impeachment can force people to collapse. Think of the great scholar Liu Ji, One of the secrets to winning in the political arena is to be "resistant to bullets", hence the nickname "Cotton".
The Battle of Memorials is like two armies fighting, and there must be back and forth in attacking each other. After Liu Jue was attacked by a group of people, although he was caught off guard and was almost stunned, he did not expect that the memorials of the two people would only be reported to him. The son is alone.
But how could it be so easy for the dignified Second Assistant to fall down? Immediately Liu Fan, a student of the Imperial College, wrote a letter, first resolutely resigning from his post as a student of the Imperial College, in order to apologize to the world;
Then Mr. Liu defended himself by saying that he had no intention of looking for flowers, and that he was just looking for Fang Yingwu for a literary competition, and then he accidentally entered a prostitute's house. Now Fang Yingwu is at large and no one cares about him, but Yan Guan deceived him. Too many people.
Later, news came out that Mr. Liu Ergong was ordered by his father Liu Jue to publicly punish him for fifty years in front of his own house. He was beaten until his skin and flesh were torn, and he fell into a coma.
Finally, Liu Cifu took the opportunity to become an official with a fierce attitude, claiming that he had failed to teach his son well and his lack of moral character had caused trouble in the court, so he begged your Majesty for his remains to return home.
Liu Cifu's coping method was also studied in detail by Fang Yingwu as a case study. It contains profound meanings such as cutting off a strong man's wrist, diverting trouble to the east, and using retreat to advance. After absorbing its connotation, you can integrate it into your own use in the future.
But on this day, Fang Qingzhi returned home with a gloomy face and called Fang Yingwu over, "Second Young Master Liu still stabbed you out. It really brings disgrace to my father! Now there are some memorials impeaching you and me. Two people, what do you think we should do?"
Fang Yingwu said eagerly: "This is the Liu family deliberately muddying the waters. They want to use our Fang family to divert attention so that they can profit from the chaos. But father, don't worry. If he wants to fight, then fight!"
Fang Qingzhi glanced at his son in confusion and asked, "This is not a good thing. Why are you so excited?"
Fang Yingwu eagerly replied: "My big ax has long been hungry and thirsty."
This is a rare opportunity to experience it. It can be regarded as a warm-up exercise before officially entering the officialdom in the future. As a person obsessed with Ming history, Fang Yingwu is interested in experiencing any Ming Dynasty game, and it can be said that it is a Ming Dynasty game. The sign of a court battle.
The most important point is that if the challenge is handled properly, the father and the second assistant Liu Jue can be placed on the same footing, which will have obvious benefits for the father's future prestige. A person who directly challenges the second assistant will have a good reputation in the minds of others. His status is naturally higher.
Fang Yingwu hopes his father will become a great success. His own future is unpredictable and he still doesn’t know how he will fare in the exam. But his father’s future is at least vaguely visible. Of course he will give it a try if he gets the chance. There is a saying that says, a father’s upper limit is himself. The starting point.(To be continued..)
