On the west side of the imperial road outside Chengtianmen, the General Affairs Department. As the various yamen were preparing to seal their seals for the New Year, the General Affairs Department, as the central yamen for the exchange of imperial documents, gradually became idle. At this time, there were not many memorials. However, because the General Affairs Department
The characteristic of a yamen is that it must be persisted to the end.
Mr. Zhang, the general affairs envoy, was sitting leisurely in the public room, drinking hot tea and thinking about what to read today to pass the time.
He had just taken a book off the bookshelf, and before he had time to look at the cover, he heard panicked footsteps outside the door. Then a clerk shouted: "Master! Fang Yingwu, the magistrate of Wanping County, is here in person.
Send memorial!"
Fang Yingwu has been the focus of recent attention, so Mr. Zhang ordered: "Bring Magistrate Fang in, and I will meet him in person."
Not long after, Fang Yingwu was brought to the lobby of the general envoy and handed over the memorial with his own hands. Mr. Zhang unfolded the memorial and quickly browsed it a few times. The content was very simple, that is, Shangshu resigned from office.
Unable to help sighing, Zhang Tongzheng advised: "The county magistrate can just wait quietly for the court to deal with it, so why resign? Even if you are sent to another prefecture or county, it is still a kind of training. You are still a young man, and you will not face more hardships."
It must be a bad thing.
If you resign and go back, your reputation will be gone, and all your previous efforts will be wasted. You should know that the green hills are still there, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood, so you'd better take your resignation letter back!"
Mr. Zhang was kind-hearted, but he still had a subtext he didn't say: Then Liu Cifu resigned, and you Fang Yingwu also resigned, but your weight is far inferior. Liu Cifu must have faked it, and Fang Yingwu estimates
If you want to make falsehood come true, there is no point in arguing with Liu Cifu.
Fang Yingwu looked sad and angry, and said generously: "I am ashamed to be listed in the imperial court with the national beetle! Although I am alone, how can I regret myself! I know that I can't do it, but I do it. Even if there are thousands of people, I will go!"
Mr. Zhang sighed again: "You can say what others cannot, and we are ashamed! But what's the use of smashing your bones into pieces? Please think deeply!"
Fang Yingwu replied: "The official has thought twice and has not changed anything!" After that, he did not take back the memorial and turned around to leave.
Envoy Zhang Tongzheng watched Fang Yingwu walk out of the lobby door, and heard him singing loudly: "I don't regret the mistakes in my life, but I hope to repay the kindness of my country. If the world is peaceful, there is no need to talk about this person!"
When the news came out, everyone who heard it sighed with emotion. Fang Yingwu was continuously besieged because of the impeachment of his second assistant, and he has been resisting until today. On the last day before the government sealed it, he was finally forced to go to court to resign. This is like an egg hitting a stone.
The ending is somewhat tragic.
Later, with the arrival of the New Year holiday, all major government offices were sealed one after another, and the court basically stopped functioning. Except for related ceremonial matters, all government affairs were frozen. In short, after the New Year, it would be at least after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
But it is almost certain that once the New Year is over, Fang Yingwu's official position will come to an end. With two resignation notices for Ci Fu and Wanping County Magistrate in front of him, the court will definitely want to retain Ci Fu.
Fang Yingwu's resignation memorial was not made known to the county government to avoid causing more trouble, and even the memorial was personally delivered to the General Affairs Office.
After he came back from the General Affairs Department, he sealed the county magistrate and announced a holiday for the county government. When he returned home to visit his father, he heard his father Fang Qingzhi say: "You said that the limelight is just for the limelight? But it's okay, you didn't disgrace our Fang family.
Wouldn’t it be better for my face to be broken than to be intact..."
Fang Yingwu was speechless. Father, if you don't know how to comfort people, then don't comfort them. It sounds so awkward. Why would you rather be in pieces than in pieces... My son, I can bear this kind of blow.
A few days later, it was the first day of the first lunar month of the 20th year of Chenghua. According to tradition, the New Year's Day dynasty was held on this day. All civil and military officials went to the palace to pay their respects, including Fang Yingwu, who had been punished as "exempt from attending the dynasty".
"of.
Fang Yingwu followed his father into the imperial city and came to Fengtian Gate, waiting for the court meeting to begin. As an imperial official, Fang Qingzhi first went to Fengtian Palace to serve the Holy Master, so Fang Yingwu could only continue to wait outside.
If nothing else goes wrong, this will probably be Fang Yingwu's last court meeting, and acquaintances will see him with some sympathy.
Li Yu, the censor of the imperial court, walked up to Fang Yingwu, shook his head, sighed, and patted Fang Yingwu on the shoulder; Zhang Peng, the Minister of War, walked up to Fang Yingwu, shook his head, sighed, and patted Fang Yingwu.
object shoulder;
Tu Fu, the deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, walked up to Fang Yingwu, shook his head, sighed, and patted Fang Yingwu on the shoulder; Hong Tingchen, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, walked up to Fang Yingwu, shook his head, sighed, and patted Fang Yingwu.
Fang Yingwu shoulders;
Xiang Chengxian, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, walked up to Fang Yingwu, shook his head, sighed, patted... Bang! Fang Yingwu knocked off Xiang Chengxian's hand and said contemptuously: "You are pretending
What senior!"
Xiang Chengxian whispered: "You have been refusing help from others, and you have been repaired in disgrace. What are your intentions? Is there any ambush or Jedi counterattack today?"
Fang Yingwu said calmly: "Your guess is totally wrong. Today I just went to worship and congratulated you. Nothing else."
"I don't believe it..." Xiang Chengxian said from the bottom of his heart. In his heart, if it stopped like this, it would not be Fang Yingwu.
But this time, Young Master Xiang really guessed wrong. Fang Yingwu did nothing today, and it was peaceful until the end of the court meeting. Young Master Xiang felt very confused about this item. Could it be that Fang Yingwu was really tired of being an official and planned to
Go home to recuperate?
The first day of the first lunar month has passed and it is the second day of the first lunar month. There are no official activities on this day. The princes of the imperial court are busy paying New Year greetings. The capital has once again entered the time when business cards are flying all over the sky.
Fang Yingwu stood in the front yard of his house, standing with his hands behind his hands and looking leisurely into the distance, with an indescribable expression... Xiang Chengxian stood beside him and asked persistently: "Brother Fang Xian, what are you thinking about? What are you thinking about?"
If you don't explain clearly, I won't leave because of my brother."
Fang Yingwu felt that he was making noise, so he stretched out his index finger and "hissed" at Xiang Chengxian gracefully.
Pretending to be struck by lightning! Xiang Chengxian was about to open his mouth again when suddenly there was a muffled "rumbling" sound from nowhere, which seemed like thunder but was not thunder.
Xiang Chengxian was startled, was it really thundering? Then he felt the ground beneath his feet suddenly shake a few times, and his body swayed involuntarily.
Not only Prince Xiang, but everyone in the capital felt it. Experienced people quickly judged that it was an earthquake, and it was an earthquake in the capital!
After reacting, Master Xiang's face was full of shock and horror! He looked at the calm and composed Fang Yingwu, as if he saw a half-immortal halo surrounding him! Is this Fang Yingwu a person with a destiny?
!
In these days, earthquakes and changes in the sky are major anomalies. According to the theory of telepathy between heaven and man, this is regarded as a warning from God to the emperor and the court, not to mention earthquakes that occur in the capital area and earthquakes that occur during the first lunar month.
!
Now no one in the imperial court wanted to pay New Year's greetings. Anyone with a little political sensitivity understood the meaning. How could it still be the time to celebrate the New Year? Almost all the ministers gathered in the Yamen in unison, waiting for further news.
Emperor Chenghua, who was already superstitious about gods and Buddhas, was in a panic at this time and was frightened by the warning from heaven. He immediately issued an order to stop all activities to celebrate the New Year in the palace and waited for reports from outside.
Subsequently, urgent reports from all parties were passed to the capital, and the overall situation was also calculated. On that day, there were earthquakes all the way from the capital to Xuanfu. The most serious ones were in Tianshou Mountain, Miyun, Juyongguan, and Gubeikou. The city walls, piers, and posthouses collapsed and collapsed.
As a result, the mausoleum was also disturbed, and some people were crushed to death.
The imperial court allocates money and food to Taicang, and the relief work by the soldiers of the Beijing camp is the proper meaning of the question, and it is carried out in an orderly manner... But everyone knows that the most important thing is, how to explain this earthquake? Why did God send this
Warning? Who is responsible for this warning?
If you want to study this issue, you have to go back in time and see what happened in the court recently... It is nothing more than Lin Jun, a member of the Ministry of Justice, risking his life to impeach Liang Fang, Ji Xiao, and be imprisoned to be executed; Wan Ping
The county magistrate responded by impeaching Liu Jue for harming the country and was about to be dismissed from office. (To be continued...)
