Fang Yingwu's move was indeed almost rogue, and he successfully defused the emperor's anger. From a psychological point of view, the effect of him hiding in Ciren Temple in advance was definitely not as good as being in a panic in front of Jin Yiwei.
He fled in panic into Ciren Temple.
Of course, only an unmarried young man in his 20s or 23s would appear clever and interesting if he did this. If the protagonist were in his 40s or 50s, he would probably be too old to cultivate.
Except for Fang Qingzhi covering his face and sighing that he was ashamed to see people, everyone watching the excitement was deeply impressed by Fang Dazhi's wit... Naturally, this incident was destined to be included in Fang Qingtian's story collection.
But there were also people who were unhappy, such as Liu Jue, a scholar from the Second Fu. Originally, he could have made a high-profile gesture of not caring about the younger generation, and then stopped quietly, waiting for the emperor to take action to get the object.
At that time, he would secretly add fuel to the flames and add fuel to the fire, unable to kill this hateful little thief! But now that the emperor has calmed down, he can no longer expect the emperor to save him from the fire, so he can only do it himself.
A dignified scholar of the Second Auxiliary Academy was directly scolded by Fang Yingwu as one of the country's three most corrupt officials along with eunuchs and monster monks. It was impossible for him to remain indifferent, otherwise where would his prestige be?
But what made Liu Cifu a little worried was that he could not go into battle shirtless and scold Fang Yingwu, otherwise he would lose his dignity as prime minister and promote Fang Yingwu instead, so he could only find officials of the same level as Fang Yingwu to go into battle.
But after listing the sixth and seventh grade members of his party, I always felt that they were too far removed from Fang Yingwu, as if they were not a heavyweight at all.
Someone advised Liu Jue: "Why does Liu Gong bother to do this? The most commonly used method is often the most effective and easy to implement. Please follow common sense and retreat instead of advance."
Liu Jue sighed, "This is the only way!"
This retreat is an old way for ministers in power to deal with impeachment. The process is also simple. They first go to court to resign, and then go home to thank guests behind closed doors.
It is said to be a gesture of waiting for punishment from the court, but in fact the subtext is to ask the court for an explanation, especially when the weight of the impeacher and the impeached is very unequal.
If the second assistant of the dynasty pretends to resign and wants to explain, then the court must deal with Fang Yingwu, and cannot let the second assistant step down just because Fang Yingwu curses a few words. The bachelor of Zaifu cannot be so worthless.
Moreover, Fang Yingwu's attack this time was a bit harsh. In order to appease Liu Cifu, the court's treatment of Fang Dazhi County must not be lenient, so the emperor said, "Someone will deal with him!"
There are two flowers in bloom, one on each branch. It is said that Fang Yingwu really ate vegetarian food in Ciren Temple for three days. He honestly stayed up for three days and three nights before leaving Ciren Temple.
This shows that the magistrate of Fangda County is cautious. Although it seems like nonsense, he must also pay attention to professionalism. If the time is less than three days, and he is accused of deceiving the emperor, there will be no defense.
When he returned to the county government office, because it was approaching the New Year, there were people everywhere. There were also a lot of gossips. Fang Yingwu immediately heard two pieces of news, one good and one bad:
The good news is that the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of the ceremonial department, and the eunuch Luo Xiang of Dongchang, the supervisor, were transferred to the eunuch of the royal eunuch because of poor performance.
Wang Zhi, the former Royal Horse Eunuch and West Factory Supervisor, who had been supervising the army at the border for several years, came back and was appointed as the East Factory Supervisor, becoming the new factory boss after Shang Ming and Luo Xiang.
As for the bad news, it was that Liu Jue, a great scholar from the Second Fu, had resigned from office, and there were also a number of court officials who had made up the blame on Fang Yingwu to frame the prime minister. They demanded that Fang Yingwu be severely punished to serve as a warning to others and to correct the trend.
Fang Yingwu was thinking that Wang Zhi had disappeared for more than half a month. Now that he had got what he wanted, it was time to show up. But when Cao Cao arrived, someone from Madam He's hotel came and said, "Young master, come to the hotel for a drink."
coming."
Wang Zhi had hidden her head and tail for a long time, but she still couldn't help but run out to drink and celebrate...Fang Yingwu got up and left the county office, and quietly entered the inner courtyard of the hotel through the back door.
He came to the old place with familiarity, only to see Wang Zhi sitting on the hot kang, pouring one cup after another of wine into his mouth.
Fang Yingwu was surprised when he saw this. He knew Wang Zhi's drinking capacity very well. He could drink three glasses without losing consciousness. Therefore, Eunuch Wang was always stingy when drinking. But the way he drank today did not look like a happy event, but on the contrary
It was like drinking to drown my sorrows like last time.
Madam He was waiting nearby. When Fang Yingwu came in, she whispered, "They're all mixed with water," and then went out and closed the courtyard door.
Fang Yingwu frowned and said: "I heard that you have become the admiral of Dongchang, but you can't drink like this on a happy day." Wang Zhi was half drunk and half awake, and said with a sideways glance: "Not happy!"
Fang Yingwu was puzzled. The last time she saw Wang Zhi, she was very excited because she was the admiral of Dongchang. Today, her dream has come true, so why should she be unhappy?
Wang Zhi took pictures of the case and drank like crazy and shouted: "Those old bastards in the Li Jian! How dare you say that I have a shallow talent and am not worthy of being in the Li Jian? They are so angry that they will kill me!"
Fang Yingwu suddenly realized that in the news, Wang Zhi was only the admiral of the East Factory, not the customary eunuch Bingbi and the admiral of the East Factory. Although the power was the same, it was not possible to be promoted to the Superintendent of Ceremonies.
The difference is huge.
The Secretary of Ceremony is equivalent to the cabinet in the eunuch yamen. The Secretary of Ceremony and the eunuchs are all very particular about cultural and academic qualifications, just like the rule of "non-Hanlin will not join the cabinet". There is an inner study hall in the palace, which is dedicated to cultivating cultural eunuchs.
In the local area, most of the ceremonial officials and eunuchs came from the inner study hall.
A semi-illiterate like Wang Zhi who only knows a few common words... Imagine that if a semi-illiterate wanted to join the cabinet, no one would dare to agree, and the world's reading public would attack her? So Wang Zhi
If you want to join the Bureau of Ceremonies, it would be strange if you are not boycotted by the collective. It is not easy for the emperor to force you.
As a person with vested interests, Fang Yingwu was willing to maintain this credential-only order, so he said to Wang Zhi: "All the father-in-laws in the Supervisory Office are the pillars of the country, why do you scold them?"
Wang Zhi blushed, pointed at Fang Yingwu and shouted: "Fang Yingwu! Please pay attention to your position, who are you talking to? Are you deaf and can't you hear it? I was the one who was offended. It was those old bastards who started it.
You’re not polite to me!”
Fang Yingwu sighed and said helplessly: "I think their words are already very polite, but you are not just a person with limited knowledge? You have no talent at all."
"I'll fight with you!" Wang Zhi suddenly turned into a shrew and jumped on Fang Yingwu from the kang. While fighting and biting, she shouted: "You don't know how angry I am, and you are still mocking me!"
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but smile bitterly. This Wang Zhi really couldn't get drunk. When drunk, he would go crazy. He hugged Wang Zhi with all his strength and whispered in her ear: "I told you before, I told you to drink while you are young."
Read more, it's not a bad thing. You turned a deaf ear to it all, and now you regret it?
You said that you have been idle in the past few years at the border. What did you do except suffer defeat? If you had known this, why did you do it in the first place?"
"I will go to the palace study hall tomorrow to study! I don't believe I can't survive those old bastards!" Wang Zhi gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Fang Yingwu said that he had heard Wang Zhi's determination to study in the Nei Shu Tang at least five times, and he didn't know if there was a sixth time.
Wang Zhi suddenly jumped up and said: "By the way, you, the great scholar Fang, are also from the Hanlin Academy. How about you come to the Nei Shu Tang as a teacher? From now on, you will teach me how to read and write, and I will call you sir."
"..." Fang Yingwu was speechless, and then said: "The picture is so beautiful, I don't dare to think about it, so I'd better do it first."
