After sending Xiang Chengxian away, it was already dusk, and the prison, which had only a palm-sized window, was gradually getting dark, and Fang Yingwu returned to a state of boredom.
Once the sense of honor and novelty of being in jail wore off, all that was left was boredom - indeed very boring, not even a trial. At this time, even if you gave Fang Yingwu a copy of the Four Books and Five Classics, I'm afraid he would still be able to read it with relish
Looked through it.
Just when Fang Yingwu closed his eyes and was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a few noises and his eyelids lit up slightly. When he opened his eyes, dim light jumped into his eyes, and when he looked closer, he saw Wang Zhi appearing again holding a candle.
At the door place.
Different from last night, this time Wang Zhi was still holding a food box in her other hand. There was a simple broken table in the prison, so Wang Zhi threw the food box on the table. After opening it, there was food and wine inside.
Fang Yingwu's eyes followed the food box, and his heart was already filled with ups and downs. How could he be so virtuous and capable that he would dare to take the trouble of the eunuch, eunuch and admiral of Xichang to deliver the prison food in person? Looking at the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was a leader of factory guards.
Is there any record of personally delivering prison meals to prisoners?
Eunuch Wang started chatting and said: "I had nothing to do today, so I went to the palace to look around and get some news. Your situation is indeed not good. The emperor is really angry this time, and I don't think there is any way to change it.
"
Fang Yingwu probed and said: "The factory director has said this before. He is just a Confucian scholar here. Why is he like this?"
"Let's start from the beginning. The reason why the emperor approved your father's proposal to enter the East Palace was because you and your son were well-known, so he had some thoughts to win over you and his son. To be honest, the emperor wanted to win people's hearts.
, let your father be grateful, so that he can be a supporter of foreign affairs in the future.
You also know that the emperor is most disgusted with the meddlesome officials in the outer court. Those famous thorns are all recorded on the screen of the inner palace, and your father was among them. But in the past three years, your father has been a little calmer.
, the emperor mistakenly thought that it had been corrected.
In the heart of the emperor, it is already Shi En and your family. Not long ago, I just gave you a title of East Palace Attendant, but your family is still ignorant. This time, you are the first to jump out and point fingers. It is simply ungrateful. Can you not
Does it make the emperor very angry?"
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. To put it bluntly, the emperor was angry at his father for "living up the grace of God". He was also worried that taking down his father would be too shocking, and he also wanted to slap himself in the face, so he took it out on his soft persimmon.
, it’s just an own mistake in the process.
Sure enough, behind every great and glorious figure, there is a relative or a group of relatives who are often unlucky!
Wang Zhi naturally did not understand Fang Yingwu's little sadness and anger, and said decisively: "What's more, your matter caused a quarrel and made the emperor very upset. It also affects the emperor's face. No one can help.
You can solve it. All in all, it has become a deadlock. I think it will be difficult for you to get through this time!"
Wang Zhi then took out the jug and wine cup and poured two glasses of wine, "I have always been clear about grudges and grudges, and you helped me make great achievements. But this time I can't do anything but express my apology with a glass of wine!"
Wang Zhi raised his glass, but Fang Yingwu didn't respond for a long time. He first looked at the wine glass hesitantly for a moment, and then looked at the wine glass in Wang Zhi's hand suspiciously. He suddenly came to propose a toast. Did he want to send himself on his way... again?
Thinking about it carefully, dying of a "surge" in prison seems to be a solution to the problem.
After a moment of silence, Wang Zhi snorted coldly. He changed the wine glasses in front of the two of them, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, and then the other party responded.
Fang Yingwu looked at the empty wine glass in Wang Zhi's hand again, and then stared at the wine glass in front of him to study. Could this change of wine glasses have been planned by others?
Suddenly, the new wine glass that was placed in front of Fang Yingwu was taken away by Wang Zhi, and she drank it all in one gulp, revealing the bottom of the glass.
Fang Yingwu raised his head and saw that Wang Zhi's face was full of ridicule. He smiled sheepishly and said, "People die with knives. I have to be more careful for fish and meat." Then he took the initiative to fill the cup and toasted: "
Thank you very much, factory supervisor, for your kindness, please!”
Wang Zhi frowned slightly. She didn't have much capacity for alcohol and didn't really like drinking, but she drank it all again. Her head was slightly dizzy, but she was still sober.
Fang Yingwu was still a little embarrassed, so he started talking again: "Is this really a dead end? There should be an explanation. Is it possible that I should be locked up in a prison for the rest of my life? Or should I be taken out and beheaded?"
Wang Zhi replied fiercely: "I won't kill you. According to the usual practice, I will probably punish you with a ban. The barbaric territory is extinct, the mountains are high and the roads are long. I can only wish you a good journey and come back alive after reaching the smog!"
"
At this... Fang Yingwu seemed to see Yang Shen, Wang Shouren and other "juniors" waving to him... That was really too hard.
After scaring Fang Yingwu, Wang Zhi tried again: "Don't you have any other ideas? Are you convinced after suffering this unexplained injustice?"
Fang Yingwu sighed: "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness, what else can I think about? What can I do if I am not convinced?"
"I see you are calm as usual, you must have an idea?"
Fang Yingwu said solemnly: "A gentleman is calm in the face of danger. Mount Tai collapses in front but his color remains unchanged. Elk rises to the left but his eyes don't blink. The former sage said that the tripod wok is as sweet as glutinous rice. You can't get it if you ask for it."
"Hehehe..." Wang Zhi chuckled a few times, "Those are what you scholars say when you really have no choice, right? As long as a person has a chance, who would be willing to sit in the city of sorrow."
Before Fang Yingwu could express his dissatisfaction, Wang Zhi added: "Besides, if a person like your father said such righteous words, I would believe it. As for you... forget it."
Fang Yingwu said angrily: "Why do you underestimate me?"
Wang Zhi said confidently: "I can tell just by the way you were cautious and guarding against thousands of embankments. If you are already so desperate, you must not care much about the people around you who are muddle along.
And you were always suspicious just now, which shows that you must still have some hope in your heart, so you are extra cautious to protect yourself, so as not to capsize in the gutter! After all, what is your hope? "
Fang Yingwu was shocked. Wang Zhi had always had a simple and crude style, or he was too lazy to put much thought into things. He was not the kind of person with a delicate mind. Today he was so abnormal! He couldn't help but asked in a loud voice: "Factory Supervisor, what are you doing?"
When did you become so smart?"
Wang Zhi said angrily: "This is what your little lover from the Sun family said! She said that when Mr. Fang is in danger, if he has a plan in mind, he will remain calm. If he has no idea, he will panic more than anyone else."
Fang Yingwu was surprised and was stunned for a moment.
Wang Zhi then said threateningly: "Speaking of this young lady from the Sun family, since she got the title of lady, it seems that many people want to come and propose marriage."
ps: I’m only halfway through writing, and I’m still unsure about what to do next. I have no choice, so let’s post this part first. In addition, Guan Xian has finished the book, and it’s worth reading if you haven’t read it. It’s a wonderful book.
