The Emperor of Chenghua was very accomplished in calligraphy and painting. He was so excited that he wrote the imperial edict in person with a few brush strokes. He called Liang Fang to be the governor of Dongchang, and Wang Zhi, the former governor of Dongchang, was sent to the Royal Horse Supervisor. Chapter update

Normally, Liang Fang would be desperate to praise the emperor's artistic level. But at this time, eunuch Liang was too impatient to care about flattering the emperor. He quickly said: "I have worked hard and sent the imperial edict to the ceremonial supervisor.
"
Emperor Chenghua laughed dumbly: "You are a bitch, but you are working hard today. You can just send someone to deliver it at will. Why do you need to go?"
Liang Fang said with a smile: "When a servant is idle, he is idle. Running errands is just his use." Then Eunuch Liang confessed, picked up the imperial edict and hurried outside.
According to the rules, the emperor's oral or handwritten edicts must first be sent to the Chief of Ceremonies, and then handled by the eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies.
If it involves foreign dynasties, the Chief of Ceremonies will pass the decree to the cabinet, and the cabinet will implement it or formally draft the edict; if it does not involve foreign dynasties, the Chief of Ceremonies will directly implement it.
Matters such as personnel changes in Dongchang and Yuma Supervisor naturally have nothing to do with the foreign dynasty. The Li Supervisor will implement it according to the emperor's wishes.
Eunuch Liang passed through the Zuoshun Gate, passed by the Wenhua Hall, and came to the Lijian Yamen located in the Donghua Gate. Originally, there was a clerk eunuch on duty in the gatehouse responsible for sending and receiving, but when he saw the famous Liang Fang coming to deliver the edict in person
, even though he was a little surprised, he still wanted to accept the edict as a matter of business.
However, Liang Fang resolutely refused to hand over the emperor's edict to the eunuch in the clerk's room. She must see the eunuch Huaien, the eunuch in charge of etiquette.
Although this was a bit against the rules, Liang Fang was a celebrity in front of the emperor and a powerful eunuch in the palace. Therefore, the eunuch on duty in the clerk's room couldn't resist, so he had to lead Liang Fang into the ceremonial office. After the report, he seduced Liang Fang.
Arriving in front of Eunuch Huai En.
Eunuch Huai'en read the edict several times, nodded and said, "I understand." Liang Fang anxiously asked, "When can I take office?"
Huaien replied without raising his eyelids: "This is not just your own family matter. There is also Wang Zhi in the edict. No matter what, the edict must be conveyed to Wang Zhi first. Then we can talk about other things."
Liang Fang urged again: "This matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed. Then please quickly ask someone to convey the order to Wang Zhi."
Wynn raised his eyelids, stared at Liang Fang and said slowly: "The Chief of Ceremonies has his own rules for doing things, and you don't need Eunuch Liang to teach you."
As the number one eunuch, Huai'en has accumulated authority for a long time, and he always stands upright. Liang Fang did not have the guts to argue with Huai'en face to face, so she could only say angrily: "Your Majesty's decree has been passed on to me. You can see what happens next.
Come to think of it, I will never disobey the order and be disrespectful!"
Then he walked away, waiting for the result. Huaien watched Liang Fang leave and couldn't help but sigh. After thinking for a moment, he put the emperor's edict in the box on the case, postponed it for a few days, and then ordered the little eunuch in the clerk's room to go to the east.
The factory sent a message to Wang Zhi.
After Wang Zhi got the news, his only idea was to send someone to inform Fang Yingwu, just like the Jade Emperor went to invite the Buddha from the West. After Fang Yingwu found out about the news, the entire court knew about it within two days.
But other than that, Fang Yingwu didn't respond. Wang Zhi couldn't help but disguise himself and asked Fang Yingwu to meet him. He asked, "Are we going to stand still like this? I don't care about going to the Imperial Horse Prison. Can you accept Liang Fang going there?"
There will be no problem in Dongchang.”
Fang Yingwu replied: "We don't need to move, and we can't move. Just let others move."
Later, Fang Yingwu went to Liu Mansion to meet Liu Mianhua, "Old Taishan, your chance to show your face has come. My son-in-law, I have helped you create a good situation!"
Liu Mianhua showed a dissatisfied face: "What does it mean to show your face? I want you to show your face..."
Fang Yingwu did not mince words. "Now there is news from the inner court that the emperor wants to appoint Liang Fang to take charge of the East Factory. Why doesn't Lao Taishan stand up and step forward?"
Liu Mianmian asked doubtfully: "Why did I come forward to do this? How much reputation can this get?"
Fang Yingwu replied: "It depends on how much effort Lao Taishan is prepared to use. If Lao Taishan can lead hundreds of officials to kowtow at Zuoshunmen or Fengtianmen Fugu, then Lao Taishan's reputation as a leader will naturally increase!"
Liu Mianhua was taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, he hesitated and said, "Is Fukue making such a fuss about this?" Then he added, "It would be embarrassing if not many people came except relatives and friends after I greeted you."
Fang Yingwu smiled and said: "Old Taishan is very smart, so why do you get confused here? Is it a small question? It's not about what a mouth says. If you can explain the truth, no matter how small the question is, you can make it big! As long as you have It’s necessary, what’s the problem?”
Fang Yingwu asked again: "What is Liang Fang's reputation recently? Now everyone in the court thinks that he secretly kidnapped his son-in-law. Is such a person a public enemy of the court? Can everyone get rid of him?"
Now that he is going to be the admiral of Dongchang, who among the courtiers can rest assured about this? Who doesn’t want to stop this? Lao Taishan can comply with people’s hearts, and he will naturally lead the people."
Liu Mianhua shook his head and said: "What you are talking about are just small details, and your thoughts cannot be put on the table. It is really not grand enough. How can you use it as a high-sounding statement? It is not enough to stir up people's hearts, so that you will cry in court."
Fang Yingwu finally understood that Liu Mianhua was dissatisfied with insufficient reasons to achieve the desired effect. If he could not incite the emotions and sense of justice of the courtiers, he would only look like a clown.
So Fang Yingwu hinted: "Didn't Lao Taishan ever think about the implications of the emperor appointing Liang Fang as the leader of Dongchang at this time? Looking at this dynasty, we can learn a pattern. Before the emperor makes a big move, It is often necessary to adjust factory hygiene first.”
Liu Mianmian fell into deep thought after hearing this. Looking back, it seems that there is indeed this pattern. I won't mention the previous dynasties, only this dynasty. The last time the emperor made a big move against the court was in the 13th year of Chenghua. The symbol of that time The first thing seems to be that the West Factory was established first, and Wang Zhi, who was still unknown at the time, was suddenly appointed as the admiral of the West Factory.
If we think more deeply about the reason, it is probably because the factory guards are the most powerful tool for the emperor to control the court, which directly reflects the emperor's will. Therefore, when the emperor wants to move the court, he often moves the factory guards first, so as to ensure success.
Fang Yingwu continued: "The emperor's adjustment of factory guards is the weathervane of court politics, so what else can this weathervane point to recently? It's nothing more than the dispute over the East Palace!
The prince has not lost any virtue, he is recognized as a wise king, and he is the eldest son! Do the courtiers want to watch your Majesty step by step to depose the prince, but dare not uphold Tsunasa's orthodoxy?"
"No!" Liu Mianhua patted the handrail and said.
Fang Yingwu sighed: "Perhaps many courtiers are short-sighted and have not understood the truth. Lao Taishan can teach this truth to others, and in this way he can promote himself. After that, Lao Taishan can climb up and shout, leading hundreds of officials to kowtow at the palace. Please get rid of Liang Fang!" (To be continued...)
