Chapter four hundred and fifty fifth invisible hand
Indeed, as some people had speculated, Fang Yingwu did not actually cut down the five battalion officers. When he was ordered to supervise the work of dredging the river, he was worried that he was too young and could not control the scene, so he took a few days off from prison.
Reserved for death row prisoners to be executed later.
Then he encountered a sergeant causing trouble, so he asked Zhang Gui and others to act according to their plan, beheading several death row prisoners in the alley, and then pretended to be the head of the rioting battalion officer, and showed it to the public from a distance to frighten the soldiers and civilians who had been recruited to serve.
As for what happened later, it was just that Fang Yingwu had a bad taste, and he wanted to use it to fish and cultivate some potential political enemies. It happened to be used by Zhang Shilang to fight for the Minister of War.
But now, because of my continuous high-gloss state, everyone is looking at me with all possible conspiracies, so I can no longer continue fishing. If everyone knows that this is bait, who will take the bait?
And in retrospect, some family members of the "dead" battalion officers came to the Yamen yesterday to ask for the body. Someone probably became suspicious and instigated these family members to come to the Yamen for testing.
Fang Yingwu visited Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of War again and told him truthfully: "The situation is like this. You and I can't continue our plan, so we can only stop here."
Zhang Shilang, who had been aroused, was a little reluctant, but he also sighed helplessly.
The original plan was very promising. When the argument between himself and the opposition came to "gaochao", Fang Yingwu brought out a few battalion officers and produced several confessions that had been beaten into submission, stating that these people were ordered by someone to destroy the dredging works. Then the opposition side
No one can hold it, otherwise they will become suspected accomplices of several battalion officers.
Unexpectedly, it was about to stop in the middle... The reason was that Fang Yingwu was too bright, which led to unexpected situations. It was really a bit of a "man-made plan, God-made thing" and "a crime other than war"
"the meaning of.
Zhang Shilang also understood that there was no point in continuing forcibly. If the Ministry of Justice or the Procuratorate came to ask Fang Yingwu whether those battalion officers were dead or alive, Fang Yingwu would not be able to cover up. Then the Ministry of Justice Yamen
After taking away a few more battalion officers, Fang Yingwu and himself would have no trump card at all.
After seeing Zhang Shilang return to the Yamen, the county magistrate called Zhang Gui, the head of the team, and ordered the release of the five junior camp officers who were secretly detained in the deepest part of the county jail.
Naturally, some people paid attention to Fang Yingwu's move. After the news spread, the government and the public were talking about it. It seemed that Fang Zhixian, who was full of wisdom and scheming, finally took the initiative to give in!
Fang Yingwu had nothing to do with this kind of discussion, and he didn't have the ability to block everyone's mouth. He could only let it go, which was harmless anyway. However, just when Fang Yingwu and other onlookers thought that the matter was over, it backfired and refused to stop.
After the five small camp officials were released from the county jail and regained their freedom, they went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate on the third day and submitted a complaint of more than 8,000 words. They burst into tears accusing Fang of indiscriminately arresting innocent people and illegally detaining innocent people.
Want justice.
Okay, let’s talk about Fang Yingwu indiscriminately arresting innocent people and illegally detaining innocent people. This is barely true and has evidence. Although no one believes that a few small camp officers have the ability to bring down the famous Fang Yingwu, but if that
A few small camp officers risking their lives to cause trouble should definitely give Fang Yingwu a headache for a while.
The government and the public turned their attention to Fangzhi County again, wondering how to deal with the persistent pursuit of these small camp officials.
Fang Yingwu wrote a memorial calmly, but the content had nothing to do with the recent turmoil. It was still about building a temple for the Empress Dowager's younger brother:
"This county was ordered to build Ciren Temple northwest of the Bell and Drum Towers. The preliminary survey has been completed so far. The land deeds have been divided and more than 50 skilled craftsmen have been recruited. However, 1,500 people are still needed to start the construction, and the county's civil service is overwhelmed.
, begging Your Majesty to allocate sergeants to serve in the Beijing camp.
In addition, Your Majesty has previously allocated 30,000 taels of internal funds, which is sufficient for initial expenses. If subsequent expenditures are made by the county treasury, I will ask Your Majesty for permission to set up a market tax at the former site of Baoguo Temple outside Xuanwu Gate. The tax amount will be half that of Chongwen Gate.
As a special zone, we attract business travelers from all over the world to enter the market.
The money collected can be used for the construction of Ciren Temple. In this way, your Majesty will not have to worry about it, there will be no need to collect additional taxes from the people, and there will be no need to use the Taicang treasury. In this way, the country will be blessed and the people will be blessed."
After this memorial was sent to the palace, an edict was issued not long after, accusing Wanping County Magistrate Fang Yingwu of five battalion officers who were all exempted from being sergeants and sent their families to serve in the Ningxia Guard Army.
Later, the Metropolitan Procuratorate found out that Bo An Ping was behind these five battalion officers causing trouble on the construction site and accusing Fang Yingwu. An edict was issued from the Imperial Household, demoting the hereditary An Ping Bo, who had caused trouble without causing trouble, to a hereditary commander.
Some people didn't understand why Tian Tian reacted so quickly and dealt with the five battalion officers as quickly as possible. But those with a discerning eye quickly analyzed it -
Fang Yingwu was responsible for supervising the construction of Ciren Temple. When he went to the dredging, he talked about the need for 1,500 military personnel, which was obviously not without purpose. And those few small battalion officers were endless because of the problems with the last dredging work.
If you give Fang Yingwu eye drops, doesn't this damage Fang Yingwu's prestige in supervising military service?
In order to maintain the prestige of Fang Yingwu and ensure the progress of this important project of Ciren Temple, the emperor must kill chickens and scare monkeys! Five little ants are insignificant, and it will be bad luck if the emperor is annoyed.
All in all, Fang Yingwu is still the same Fang Yingwu... Those who want to add insult to injury and take advantage of the situation should forget it.
But soon, another edict appeared in front of the court officials, which immediately grabbed everyone's attention. This edict came very suddenly, appointing Yin Zhi as the Minister of Rites in Nanjing.
According to the rules, generally high-ranking officials in ministries must go through the process of court recommendation, but with the exception of the Minister of Civil Affairs, they can be appointed directly by the emperor. This is not considered an illegal issuance of a decree. Because the Ministry of Civil Affairs holds the power of government,
This power nominally belongs to the emperor, and the Ministry of Personnel is only responsible for it. Therefore, the appointment of the Minister of Personnel can be decided by the emperor in the same way as the cabinet bachelor.
It is not surprising that Yin Zhi was appointed as the Minister of Civil Affairs in Nanjing, but in this context, it is very strange...
As we all know, Yin Zhi has been an official in Nanjing. This time, with the support of Wan Shoufu, he has set his sights on the position of Minister of War, and he is the most popular candidate.
At this point, the emperor suddenly appointed Yin Zhi as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing, which is very meaningful. In fact, it means that the most popular candidate for the Minister of the Ministry of War has been excluded. In other words, does the emperor have a favorite candidate?
The answer was soon revealed: Zhang Peng, the left minister of the Ministry of War, was the only one on the list of candidates drawn up by the Ministry of Civil Affairs to be appointed Minister of the Ministry of War.
Manchao was shocked when he heard the news. Could it be that Fang Yingwu had unpredictable powers? Fang Yingwu was even more shocked... For some reason, he remembered the guardian of Boye County, two hundred miles away.
Lao Taishan Liu Mianmian.
It seems that there is an invisible hand stretching from Boye County to the capital to manipulate the Minister of War to fight for this matter, but Yi Fang Yingwu's shrewdness cannot understand it.
Suddenly feeling cold sweat streaming down his back, Fang Yingwu smiled bitterly and said to Mr. Liu, "It seems that I can't live without Lao Taishan."
