The court has been in a very sensitive period recently, with so many drool-worthy official positions vacant. Who wouldn't fantasize? At this time, more and more people are paying attention to all kinds of troubles. For example, in the General Affairs Department, copying the Di Di newspaper
And the various petty officials who made public memorials were ten times more diligent than before, for fear of missing any important news.
Then Fang Qingzhi's memorial was "discovered", which roughly means: "I have failed to discipline my disciples, and I have dishonored the grace of God. Fang Yingwu was young and immoral, and could not convince the public, so he attracted the prying eyes of the Dongchang, which led to chaos. I was deeply troubled."
I feel that this son is not good enough to be an official, so I ask Your Majesty to dismiss him from his official position and grant me the favor to go home and study."
After reading the copied memorial of Fang Qingzhi, everyone was shocked. The government and the public were speechless for a while, not just the parties involved, Shang Ming and Dai Jin.
Before, everyone in the government and the public believed that: first, Fang Yingwu was young and vigorous; second, Fang Yingwu completely possessed the truth and morality;
Third, based on past history, it can be seen that Fang Yingwu is a courageous person and is not afraid of trouble; fourth, there is no one behind Fang Yingwu.
To sum up, everyone can tell that Magistrate Fang will never swallow his anger and will definitely explode. He has no reason to be patient at all. It is just a matter of timing to stand still for the time being.
Dai Jin, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, has a dark history of seeking refuge with Wang Zhi, the powerful eunuch. This time, his trusted censor has caused a scandal with Dongchang. As long as he is entangled with Fang Yingwu, he will not be able to escape.
It’s impossible to even step down.
Based on this judgment, heroes from all sides faced the sudden opportunity and rushed to take action. They competed for the vacancy left after Dai Jin stepped down. The meeting was really lively!
It was about to reach a fever pitch, but who could have expected that Fang Yingwu himself would slam on the brakes at this point and shrink back like a coward!
Fang Yingwu is a party involved and has witnesses. He has stopped pursuing the case, so what else can happen? The scandal ends here! Outsiders are outsiders after all, and even if they want to continue to promote the scandal, they can only scratch the surface.
The mind is full but the strength is not enough!
If Dai Jin can overcome the danger and continue to occupy the position of the censor of the capital, then it will be all in vain for others to fight for it! But now that the matter is over, both sides have begun to roll up their sleeves and take action.
It feels a bit like being in a situation where it is difficult to recover, or riding a tiger that is difficult to dismount.
Therefore, surrounding the censor scandal, the whole court suddenly lost its voice. Fang Yingwu was confused by Fang Yingwu's surprise. Is he a real grandson or pretending to be a grandson?
In fact, from the perspective of a gentleman, this is easy to understand... A decent person like Fang Qingzhi has always been strict with himself and humble to others. Of course, he does not want to see his son causing trouble and becoming the target of all parties.
Focus on this, and thus get caught up in unclear interests entanglements. It may also damage the innocence of the Fang family, so you must take the initiative to ask for the dismissal of your son's official position.
It can only be said that noble people are noble in their eyes, and despicable people are despicable in their eyes. However, the number of lobbyists visiting Fangzhi County suddenly increased again, and the county government once again resumed the grand occasion of receiving eight famous invitations a day.
However, Fang Yingwu did not meet anyone else. He first went to see Uncle Wei Ning, the censor of Zuodu, and the admiral Wang Yue of the capital camp. In the capital, he could only tell the truth to Wang Yue.
Wang Yue shook the glass of wine. The lazily said to the other party: "You are really unethical in what you do. You killed all the princes with a false shot, but by doing this, you can really be considered worthy of Mr. Wang."
Among the officials in the Manchu Dynasty, Wang Yue is probably the only one who can understand Fang Yingwu's meaning, because he is the only one who knows that Fang Yingwu has a close relationship with Wang Zhi.
Wei Jin reshuffles the cards and intends to involve Dongchang again. If not for Wang Zhi, why?
However, Wang Yue didn't believe that Fang Yingwu had much affection for Wang Zhi. The two of them had never met a few times in total. They mostly used each other, so what kind of kindness could there be?
After much deliberation, I can only say that the reason why Fang Yingwu still helped Wang Zhi was because he was determined, had long-term goals, and could not be tempted by the small gains in front of him. Even so, he deserves a compliment.
Fang Yingwu replied: "Sir, you are joking. Your destiny should always be in your own hands, and you should never let it sway in the wind and be controlled by others."
Then Fang Yingwu remembered a situation and asked tentatively: "Now that Dai Jin is in critical danger, aren't you tempted, sir?"
Wang Yue was named Zuodu Censor, but in fact he had no care about the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. His official job was to be the admiral of the capital camp. Zuodu Censor was just a name to indicate his status as a senior civil servant. However, if the Right Capital Censorship was revealed,
Question, it seems logical to let Wang Yue, the censor of the left capital, come forward to take over the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
From Fang Yingwu's point of view, a Wang Yue who was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was obviously more beneficial than a Wang Yue who was in charge of the capital camp, and Fang Yingwu had no intention of establishing himself in martial arts.
Wang Yue was well aware of Fang Yingwu's thoughts, and replied calmly: "I don't have this ambition, and I am too lazy to deal with the hard work of searching for chapters and extracting sentences. I would rather prepare the army and march at the border! As for the temple disputes, use
As you said, just find a thigh to hold it on, why should you bother yourself?"
As expected of a well-known character, the Ming Dynasty’s most civil servant resembled a military general, and his behavior did not follow the routine of a civil servant at all! Fang Yingwu was helpless and asked: "Who has the loudest voice among the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
Wang Yue introduced: "The one with the highest voice is Mr. Li Yuli, the right deputy censor of the capital. This person served as the deputy censor of the capital at that time as the governor of water transportation and the governor of Jiangbei. Later, because of Ding You, he returned to his hometown. After the end of the rule, there was no other suitable one.
position, he will continue to serve as the right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, helping to manage the affairs of the court."
Fang Yingwu nodded, Mr. Li Yu had been the governor of water transportation and the governor of Jiangbei. He was really a senior official. He was more than qualified to take over as the censor.
Wang Yue put down his wine glass and reminded him solemnly: "Li Yu is a strict man and can be regarded as a capable minister. The most important thing is that he has a fellow villager friendship with Li Zisheng, a naughty alchemist."
Li Zisheng... Fang Yingwu was stunned, he didn't expect to hear this name here.
However, Wang Yue didn't want to talk about this anymore, and asked what he was most concerned about: "Some time ago, as you said, I frequently expressed my kindness to Shang Ming, which attracted a lot of attention. Is this useful?"
"To be honest, I don't know." Fang Yingwu said without any secret, "The life and death of Wang Gong and Shang Ming all depend on the emperor's heart. We can't decide anything, we can only do our best!"
According to historical records, Shang Ming also fell shortly after Wang Zhi's fall. However, the specific reasons are unknown. Fang Yingwu also knew it but did not know why. He could only rely on his own speculation and guided the emperor's ideas to develop in this direction.
.
It seems that Shang Ming fell out of favor quickly for two reasons. First, the commander of the Jinyi Guards at that time, Wantong, died of illness, and Wang Zhi of the West Factory was dismissed. Shang Ming's family in the East Factory was the only one. He got carried away and formed a gang, which made the emperor wary;
Compared with his poor performance, the emperor was dissatisfied.
Apart from this, Fang Yingwu really couldn't find the reason why Shang Ming fell out of favor. The problem of greed for money was not a problem at all in the eyes of the emperor.
Wang Yue asked: "Are you just waiting for Shang Ming to expose himself? Do you have any backup plans?"
Fang Yingwu nodded and said: "Sir, please don't worry, I naturally have some tricks that I haven't used yet, and now it seems I should use them soon!"
PS: If there are people pretending to be me asking readers for money recently, they are all scammers. Don’t be fooled! I heard that many other authors have encountered this kind of thing! But I think the readers of this book are all veterans, and no one is so naive.
