Chapter 468 What kind of big man do you think you are?
The next day, Fang Yingwu got news that the eunuch who was the director of the Li Supervisory Factory was demoted to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum, but the magistrate of Daxing County was not punished.
Probably in the eyes of the emperor, the behavior of internal eunuchs, eunuchs, and eunuchs colluding with foreign ministers is like domestic slaves colluding with outsiders, which is worthy of irritation. As for the magistrate of Youzhi County and the magistrate of Fangzhi County, it is just a dog-eat-dog affair between foreign ministers, it doesn't matter.
Then another month passed, and it was almost the twelfth lunar month of the year. During this period, Fang Yingwu had not seen Wang Zhi. He knew that Wang Zhi must be in the capital, but he didn't know what Eunuch Wang was busy with.
However, rumors have spread from the palace that His Majesty intends to replace Dongchang with a general and let Wang Zhi supervise Dongchang instead of Admiral Luo Xiang.
This news was probably released by the palace to test the reaction of the foreign court. Everyone in the court knew about it. However, except for a few scattered memorials, there was no large-scale opposition wave, which made Fang Yingwu relaxed.
Take a breath, otherwise it will be difficult for him to be caught in the middle.
Thinking about the reasons, there are probably two points. First, Eunuch Wang has kept a low profile in the capital in recent years, unlike when he was in the 13th and 14th years of Chenghua, which made people become jealous and frightened;
Second, the atmosphere of the court has further deteriorated, and morale is not as good as before... Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but sigh lightly.
However, although he did not see Wang Zhi in person, Eunuch Wang sent someone to send a secret letter to Fang Yingwu. The secret letter contained only a few words: "The incident in Xiyuan actually started with Liu from the cabinet."
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Could it be that Youzhi County's frame-up of him was not that simple, and there were deeper reasons? Cabinet Liu must be referring to the second assistant Liu Jue. According to the meaning of the secret letter, it was Liu who framed him.
Is Jue behind the scenes?
Why did Liu Jue do this? It would be a bit blunt to say it was simply because of old grudges. Fang Yingwu thought about it and thought of his own Lao Taishan.
After the Year of Liu Mianmian, Ding You will return to the court after the end of the year. Under normal circumstances, the official will be restored to his original position, and he will continue to be a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and add the title of Shangshu.
There are currently three people in the cabinet, and Wan, the first assistant, and Peng Hua are the same party. The second assistant, Liu Jue, is one against two, and life is relatively difficult. If Liu Miantian, who has an old grudge with Liu Jue and intends to take over the position of second assistant, returns to the court, then
Liu Jue became one against three, and his life became even more difficult.
So... Fang Yingwu understood that Liu Cifu would first dig a trap to frame him, and then he would instruct Yin Min, the Minister of Civil Affairs, to trap him. When Liu Mianhua returned to the court, he could use himself to bargain with Lao Taishan.
.In exchange of interests, Liu Mianhua cannot care less about his son-in-law who is riding a dragon, so he must make some compromises.
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu wiped his sweat. The officialdom is indeed difficult and dangerous, and such a small task as clearing the snow can hide such a murderous intention!
If I hadn't been lucky, I would have lost three kilograms of flesh this time even if I didn't die. I shouldn't be careless about any small things in the future! It's no wonder that You Zhixian of Daxing County was not punished in any way. It must be Liu Cifu who came out to ask for favors from the emperor.
Forbearance! Forbearance! Forbearance! Fang Yingwu didn't have any good ideas for the moment, so he could only endure it for the time being. Wait for one of his thighs to go up, and then wait for his other thigh to return to the court!
At this time, a family member came to send a message, "The great master wants you to go home. It's extremely urgent!"
What is the father worried about? Is there nothing important recently? Fang Yingwu was full of doubts. However, he couldn't disobey his father's orders, so he got into the warm sedan and went home.
In the study, Fang Qingzhi, Zuo Yude of Zhan Shifu and the Imperial Academy's Attendant, did not wait for his son to salute, but said anxiously: "Linbu Lang has been ordered to be imprisoned. It is said that his life is not guaranteed!"
Lin Bulang? After Fang Yingwu thought about it for a moment, he knew who he was talking about. He was Lin Jun, a member of the Punishment Department. Lin Jun and his father were Jinshi in the same year, and they had the same temperament. They were brothers and had a very close relationship.
When he first came to Beijing, Fang Yingwu saw that Mr. Lin once wanted to drag Fang Qingzhi to impeach the Queen Mother's family. This was very dangerous. Fortunately, Fang Yingwu used the Great Diversion to let Mr. Lin pay attention.
It was transferred to the alchemist Li Zisheng.
After thinking about it again, Fang Yingwu vaguely understood what had happened. Lord Lin Junlin's imprisonment was a well-documented historical event. Of course, Lord Lin's own reputation was also extremely high.
Sure enough, I heard my father say: "Brother Lin came to Shu and asked Your Majesty to stop the Buddhist temple to help the hungry people and kill the monster monk Jixiao. Fortunately, Liang Fang thanked the world. His words... were a little more sincere. Then there was thunder in the nine days, Brother Lin
Already sent to Jinyi Guard Prison. It is planned to be a capital crime."
Perhaps some of the wording in the memorial offended the otaku emperor's sensitive nerves, so Fang Yingwu sighed.
These successful candidates who were killed in the imperial examination could not be inaccurate in their wording and sentences, so they obviously did it deliberately without sacrificing their wealth and life. From this perspective, Master Lin's death remonstrance was successful and aroused the emperor's murderous intention.
Looking up at his father, Fang Yingwu suddenly felt very relieved and said earnestly: "My father actually took the initiative to discuss it with my son... If it had been in the past, my father would have just ignored everything.
Are you going to rescue me first and support me?"
"..." Fang Qingzhi changed his face and scolded: "I just see that you have always been cunning, I don't know if you have any cunning methods! If not, as a father, I will come to the rescue myself!"
Fang Yingwu advised: "Father, you should be more careful. In the past few years, you have been promoted quickly because of my son. In the eyes of the emperor, you are a person who has won the emperor's favor. If you say something a little inappropriate this time, then in the eyes of the emperor,
Being ungrateful will definitely arouse the emperor's greater anger."
Fang Qingzhi questioned: "Do you advise my father to pretend to be deaf and dumb? How is that different from Xie Qian back then?"
Well, my father has indeed made progress, and Fang Yingwu is even more pleased. If my father in the past had adhered to the principle that a gentleman should not talk about the faults of others, he would not have casually mentioned Xie Qian's faults verbally.
Fang Yingwu explained: "It's not like pretending to be deaf and dumb, it's just about paying attention to some skills. The memorial only mentions Lin Jun's life and doesn't talk about other trivial matters, and then just follow the trend."
Fang Qingzhi was deeply disappointed, "Is this your idea? Then there is nothing to say, as a father has his own plans."
"In fact, even without waiting for father to come forward, I still have my son!" Fang Yingwu suddenly became impassioned: "Uncle Lin...Uncle Lin can say things that others dare not say, and he went to jail to die without hesitation. He is really a role model for us to follow! I
Among the younger generation, how can there be no one who is generous and supportive? I, my son, will also be my supporter!"
Which episode is this? Fang Qingzhi looked at his son who was changing his face like he was flipping through a book. He was confused and shocked... After a while, he asked: "Do you want to be in the limelight again?"
Fang Yingwu chuckled, geared up and said with deep meaning: "I am the magistrate of Jingxian County, and I have been silent for a long time. People in the temple seem to have forgotten my sharpness. This time I want to open the eyes of the little people."
Suddenly a little unconvinced, Fang Qingzhi couldn't help but snorted coldly and said mockingly: "Magistrate Wanping County, what kind of big shot do you think you are?"
