That day, the Wanping County Government Office almost turned into a battlefield from the gate to the vestibule. After being smashed by the sergeants sent by Yongping Bo, the gate was torn into pieces and a hole was broken in the splayed wall. Although it did not affect the deeper lobby.
, Liufang and other key areas, but the people in the county government were unstable and the operation was almost paralyzed.
At this time of urgent need to calm people's hearts, the head of the county government, Fang Zhixian, disappeared from the county government. He only took Fang Yingshi as his bodyguard and quietly sneaked back home incognito.
It was evening at this time, and Fang Qingzhi had already returned home from the Yamen. Hearing that his son had also come in, the father and son met in the study.
Fang Yingwu bowed respectfully and greeted him with great enthusiasm: "Father, I haven't seen you for many days. How are you? My son, the king, is ordered to serve as governor. I can't be filial in the morning and evening. I feel really uneasy in my heart! I hate you all the time.
You cannot resign and return home to serve your respected relatives!"
Seeing his son's expression no less than that of a filial son lying on the ice asking for help, Fang Qingzhi felt uncomfortable all over and felt very uncomfortable.
In Fang Qingzhi's heart, he could feel that his son was actually good to him, but this son was not good at showing it, or he was not good at showing it in secular ways.
A "ciluo" naked and passionate expression like just now is natural for others to say. Scholars, no matter whether they are truly filial or not, always speak like this. But when it comes from my own son, it sounds awkward no matter how I hear it.
After adjusting his sitting position a few times, Fang Qingzhi felt a little more comfortable, and then he said calmly: "It's good that you have this intention. Since you have a heavy responsibility, you must not abandon your official career for personal reasons, not to mention that as a father, you are not old enough to need it.
The point where someone takes care of you.”
After the pleasantries were finished, Fang Yingwu said tentatively: "Father may have heard about it. I received a lawsuit against Uncle Yong Ping at the county government office. I have been working hard to handle the case recently, and I also had a conflict with Uncle Yong Ping."
Fang Qingzhi praised: "We scholars must stand upright and have a clear conscience! You have done a good job, and it is the right thing to do, even though thousands of people have passed away!
My father borrows the righteousness song of the sage Wen Wenshan from the previous dynasty to send it to you. The heaven and earth have righteousness, and they are mixed and endowed with manifolds. Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars..."
Fang Yingwu looked straight at his father. After the old man shook his head and recited the righteousness song once, he still didn't hear what he wanted to hear.
After waiting for a while. Before he heard what he wanted, Fang Yingwu, as if a monster had revealed its true form, hugged his thighs and shouted: "Dad! Stop talking about the useless stuff, my son is about to
Please lend a helping hand, old man!"
Fang Qingzhi squinted at him for a long time, and then sighed softly. A few tears flashed from the corners of his eyes. It has been so many years in a blink of an eye, and his son finally behaves like a son. It is not easy!
That attitude of "I can get along with you with or without you as my father" is really annoying. In comparison, the son who is almost hugging his thighs and begging seems to be cuter.
Suppressing the unspeakable secret joy, Fang Qingzhi said to his son seemingly nonchalantly: "Aren't there three big mountains behind you? As a father, you can only be in the last place. Why don't you look for the more effective number one?
Going with the second one?"
What? Fang Yingwu was stunned. How did his father know the term "three mountains"? It was just a joke while chatting with Xiang Chengxian! And hearing his father's attitude, it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with being ranked third!
Fang Yingwu, who wanted to seek help from his father, asked cautiously: "Rumors from outsiders are not enough. Where did father hear about it?"
Fang Qingzhi replied confidently: "You have been entrusted by the imperial court with important responsibilities at a young age, especially in Guo County, the capital city at the foot of the emperor. My father is very worried, worried that you will miss important events.
When Xiang Chengxian came to visit, in order to comfort his father, he told him about these three mountains, telling him to feel at ease."
What a careless friend! Fang Yingwu couldn't help but curse a few words in his heart. Mr. Xiang is such a big mouth, how dare he say this to his father!
After Fang Qingzhi had finished showing off his music and had enough fun, he asked leisurely: "Tell me, what do you want?"
Fang Yingwu was worried that his father's thoughts had changed again. He quickly got to the point, "Uncle Yong Ping was so tyrannical that he even destroyed the county government. My son, I am very weak and have no choice but to resign from office!"
Resigning from Shangshu? Fang Qingzhi frowned. Even he could see that if Fang Yingwu was forced to resign from Shangshu by his ministers, this would be a signal that would definitely challenge the sensitive nerves of civil servants like them.
.
After the Tumubao Incident, the power of civil servants increased greatly, completely suppressing the power of nobles. It is still in a period of rapid expansion. We are absolutely unwilling to let go of this incident of military officials bullying civilian officials. As long as it is operated properly, it can stir up public opinion.
Storms are not difficult.
And this is tantamount to letting the matter out again, openly putting it in the court, allowing the court to make a choice. The effect is probably the same as the last time when Fang Yingwu took advantage of the court to arrest Uncle Yongping, except last time
The emperor unintentionally got into trouble and dragged the matter out.
"Then it's time for father to take action! Father, please contact your comrades and express your grievances for your son! This is not difficult. Originally, my son, I hold the truth and everything is done according to the rules!"
This is the real purpose of Fang Yingwu's return home to visit his father. Now that the conditions are ripe, what he needs is public attention, not a large number of indifferent onlookers!
And if you want to stir up trouble in the public opinion of the court, you have to ask your father, a prominent official, to come forward for help. After all, I am too young, and my time in the court is too short. Although I have a good reputation, I am a bit understated, and my qualifications are too young.
But my father is different. He is better than me in terms of reputation and status, and he has enough qualifications. He can recruit a group of academicians, contact a group of academicians or fellow students from the same year, etc., so it is not a big problem to build momentum.
Fang Qingzhi suddenly asked calmly: "Why do I hear it, as if you are tempting our party to join forces to fight against differences?" Fang Yingwu said hurriedly: "As the saying goes, brothers who fight tigers are brothers, and father and son go into battle. How can we make the party work together to fight against differences?"
"I know, just listen to the news." Fang Qingzhi raised his chin and agreed, then he asked with a little worry: "But what are you going to do next? What confidence do you have?"
Hearing his father's agreement, Fang Yingwu relaxed, his demeanor returned to normal, and he replied confidently: "Father, please don't worry! Son, I only need an opportunity. As long as there is an opportunity, everything will not be a problem. Father will just do everything for me."
I’ll just create momentum!”
Fang Qingzhi heard this and felt unhappy again. He seemed to be a tool and only had to act according to his son's orders. He really had the urge to ignore it, but he had such a son at the moment, so he couldn't ignore it!
While thinking about what was on his mind, Fang Qingzhi again heard his son teaching like an old woman: "Well, we should focus on two things in building momentum, and don't talk about anything else. First, Uncle Yongping is just an idle person at the moment.
The earl has not yet fulfilled his actual duties, so why can he repeatedly dispatch sergeants for personal use? Secondly, he used sergeants to besiege the county government. What crime should be considered..."
