It was already evening when he returned home. Fang Yingwu asked the doorman and found out that his father Fang Qingzhi had returned home, so he went to see his father...
In the study, Fang Yingwu told his father all about the trouble yesterday in front of his house and the clues he got today. However, Fang Qingzhi was indifferent after listening to it and did not say much. He drank tea slowly without saying a word, and his expression was silent.
The style of gold.
Looking at his father's calm demeanor, Fang Yingwu felt that his father didn't seem to understand the stakes, so he said: "Father, don't think that it's just a show that stands out from the forest, and some people want to ruin our family's reputation. You have to take a higher view.
Just think deeply!"
Fang Qingzhi asked: "How do you stand tall and think deeply?"
Fang Yingwu replied: "Under the current situation, the promotion of my father and son is the focus of the court. It is not only the honor and disgrace of my father and son, but also symbolizes the rise and fall of the strength of the East Palace! Someone deliberately caused trouble to prevent my father from taking office.
This shows that the other side is going to exert force!
It's easy to tell at a glance, and the information revealed is even more disturbing. If Liu Jue really turns to the chief minister Wan'an, then the cabinet as a whole is standing opposite to the East Palace! How can this not be taken seriously?
Moreover, ever since the internal and external court meetings in the Wenhua Palace that day, when the princes agreed that my father and my son would each have their own appointments, there have been numerous material discussions, but there seems to be no progress in the procedures, which shows that there must be huge resistance."
Fang Qingzhi sighed and said: "It is human nature to slander. I am lucky to get a promotion, but I will lose my life. I have to calm down."
Fang Yingwu said very openly: "When a Ci minister raises Wangwang, it is like a chicken egg hatching; when he raises enough Wangwang, he is like a chicken that will hatch out of its shell. This is a rare opportunity for my father. The Imperial College's wine offering is by no means an ordinary official position.
, it would be a pity if we miss it.”
Fang Qingzhi still said calmly: "Don't be so impatient. Even if we are stopped this time, what loss will you and I have? In fact, you have to understand. For you and me personally, this is not something we cannot afford to lose.
"
"My father is indifferent to fame and wealth, and I admire him deeply, son." Fang Yingwu said helplessly and without a temper. It was really worrying to meet such an ignorant father, and he had to spend several times more energy on it.
Fang Qingzhi smiled slightly, "Actually, what you said is not unreasonable, but what's the use of saying these words to your father? Are you looking for the wrong person?"
Fang Yingwu was stunned, feeling that his father was different from usual and looked a bit mysterious.
Fang Qingzhi said again: "Are you going to come up with some clever plans and then send your father to cooperate with you? But you are also a person who has read history books. You should be familiar with the saying that meat-eaters plan their actions? You say
If you stand high and look at it, it's just a look.
Matters at high places should be handled by experts, and you and I are not such experts yet. Even if your tips and tricks are extremely clever, they may not be as good as a word from an expert."
Fang Yingwu frowned, it seemed that his words were not unreasonable... Unexpectedly, his father also realized the philosophy of defeating ten groups with one force, but Fang Yingwu had always been able to move a thousand pounds with four ounces.
Fang Qingzhi sighed deeply and said: "You don't understand. Things in the palace are different from other things. They are far different. The fundamental rules are very different. If your usual experience is used, it will definitely
Suffer a big loss."
Although Fang Qingzhi was hindered by Qingliu's face, Zi Buyu was very cryptic and unwilling to say something that was not gentlemanly enough, but Fang Yingwu could vaguely understand it.
The battle for the throne is not a child's play at all. It has different rules from all other things. In other words, there are no rules at all. It is a pure winner-takes-all world.
This kind of world is a world where strength is the most important, and it is more suitable for the survival of one force to defeat ten people, and the number of ways to move a thousand pounds with four or two will be inferior.
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu shed a few drops of cold sweat behind his back. He almost forgot that what he was involved in was a battle for the throne, not another game in life.
Throughout the history books, the battle for the throne has produced many bloody scenes. Although the Ming Dynasty has been very gentle in this regard, it still cannot be underestimated.
Fang Qingzhi said sharply: "In the final analysis, you don't trust others deep down, you want to control everything in your own hands, and you only want everything to run under your control.
As a father, I don’t know where your confidence comes from. You seem to think that you are the only one who is perfect, and everyone else is just a puppet.
In fact, it doesn’t have to be like this. Without you, the sky will not fall, and the world may not become worse. On the other hand, even with you, things may not get better.”
There is no one who knows a son better than his father, so Fang Yingwu was speechless. It was rare for him to listen to his father's teachings silently and carefully chew on the meaning of each sentence.
Well, the biggest supporters of the East Palace are Huai'en, the eunuch in charge of rituals in the inner court, the Empress Dowager Zhou, the emperor's biological mother, and Liu Mianhua, who is determined to speculate in the outer court. These are the carnivores.
If the fact that someone is blocking the Fang family and his son is raised to the level of the other side suppressing the strength of the East Palace, then Liu Mianmian and Wynn should take the lead in the confrontation here. What should I worry about as a small bureaucrat waiting to be investigated at home? However, it is easier to worry too much.
aged......
And although he is high-spirited, he can only be regarded as a high-level cannon fodder in the struggle for the foundation of the East Palace. His fundamental goal is to settle down and live in peace, not to sacrifice his life for the prince. No, it should be said that the emperor rules from the top, and anyone can be the emperor.
Accept that it is nothing more than the difference between developed or underdeveloped, and it is not a life-threatening crime.
Of course, the above sentence would never come out of his father's mouth, but what was his father thinking in his heart? Fang Yingwu suddenly found that for the first time, he could not understand his father's thoughts.
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu probed: "What does father mean?"
Fang Qingzhi said: "Back then, before I entered the East Palace, you gave my father a sentence. It is better to say it than to say it silently. Over the years, my father has repeatedly pondered the meaning of this sentence and deeply felt it. Why did you forget it yourself?
Did you understand this sentence?”
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but be shocked. He just copied this sentence and gave it to his father based on the passage he read in the history books without asking for a deeper explanation.
.
After a long while, Fang Yingwu said to Fang Qingzhi: "It seems that my father has not been in vain in the past few years as a waiter in the East Palace. He has made great progress. I can rest assured, my son."
Having said that, for some reason, Fang Yingwu felt inexplicably a little disappointed, as if he had lost something. This place in the palace is indeed a bit evil... (To be continued...)
