Just as he was saying this, Fang Yingwu suddenly took two steps back, bowed deeply to Liu Mianhua and said: "It seems that evil is about to take over again and endanger the country... Although the cabinet is the leader of the ministers, the other ministers cannot be counted on.
, so if Lao Taishan doesn’t come out, when will we wait?”
A mature man like Liu Mianmian couldn't help but feel fascinated and excited after listening to Fang Yingwu's words, imagining the great scene of him leading hundreds of officials to shout for justice.
Liu Ji, an upright and resolute scholar of the Jinshen Palace, appears on the stage and fights for the foundation of the country. What will be the effect?
Liu Mianhua was finally moved by what Fang Yingwu said. He stopped refuting anything, lowered his head and kept silent, carefully calculating the pros and cons. He had to admit that his son-in-law had indeed created an opportunity to build his reputation.
Over the years, I have been careful not to offend the emperor, and this has made my position as stable as Mount Tai, and I have steadily risen from the position of Ci Minister to the Second Assistant.
But if there is a reaction this time, it will most likely make the emperor unhappy. The consequences of the emperor's displeasure will mean that his position will be unstable.
But Liu Mianhua thought again that his political career had entered its final stage, and it was probably time to seal the coffin. As a bachelor of the Chenghua Dynasty for ten years, he definitely wanted to leave his name in history. But did he really want to carry the "paper" with him?
The evaluations of "Lu Ge Lao" and "Mian Mian" have been recorded in history books?
Standing at this juncture, the most serious thing that I can lose is that my political life will end as a junior minister, and I will lose my official position and return to my hometown to retire. In fact, there is nothing to regret after serving as a junior minister at the end of my life. It is normal not to make any further progress.
.
As for the emperor himself, I'm afraid he doesn't have a few years to live. Even if he offends the emperor, he can only lie dormant for a few years at most. If he's lucky, he can get through it. If he's not lucky, he will die first.
What's more, after marrying the Fang family, Fang Qingzhi is in his prime. Fang Yingwu has a bright future. It can be said that the next generation of the Liu family and the next generation are guaranteed, which greatly reduces his worries about his descendants.
On the whole, it seems that what you may lose is really limited. But in comparison, what you may gain is far more than that, and even the opportunity to rewrite the image of history books. In other words, you can fully afford the risk, and it is worth going.
Take a risk.
After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, the suspicious Liu Mianhua suddenly thought of another question. He asked: "Your Fang family has enough appeal, why don't you do it on your own?"
Fang Yingwu smiled bitterly and said: "Old Taishan is worried too much. Shouldn't my father and son avoid suspicion?" Liu Mianhua was stunned when he heard this, and he also laughed dumbly. He was confused if he really cared and thought too much.
Previously, Liang Fang was suspected of kidnapping Fang Yingwu. If the Fang family jumped out and instigated the officials to collectively impeach Liang Fang, then no matter how high-sounding it was, it would smell like a public revenge. Of course, this is what the Fang family, who cherish their feathers, tried their best to avoid.
If not, how could Fang Yingwu give up this opportunity? Liu Mianhua thought very self-awarely. In the end, Liu Mianhua nodded fiercely and made up his mind to do this.
When Fang Yingwu saw this, he quickly said: "Don't worry, Old Taishan. The number of people is definitely not a problem, and there will be no situation where no one responds. Liang Fang's actions have already attracted the attention of the whole court, and people's hearts are so promising. It only takes two days to build momentum.
, enough to form a general trend."
Liu Mianmian raised his hand. "There is no need to say empty words. I am not a three-year-old child. I will not hesitate and go back on my words, and I don't need you to calm people's hearts. Besides, do you have anything else to say?
?”
Fang Yingwu said in detail: "In advance, the son-in-law will persuade his father, teacher Li Chaling and others to publicize Liang Fang's evil deeds and future prospects. In particular, it should be noted that this matter is related to the dispute in the East Palace, and the courtiers will definitely have to deal with it.
This is the heart.
Then Lao Taishan could choose to speak out generously in public early in the morning, leading the crowd to anger, and then take the opportunity to defy the emperor and remonstrate with him. In this way, Lao Taishan would be worthy of being the leader of hundreds of officials.
How can the first assistants Wan'an and Liu Jue dare to go against the emperor and Wan Niangniang? They will definitely not be in the same league as Lao Taishan. Apart from these two, who else can steal Lao Taishan's leadership limelight?"
Liu Mianhua slapped the case and said: "Good!" He would not ask whether he was sure to knock Liang Fang down, because the result was not important, what was important was the process and his performance in the process.
But it was said that after Liang Fang sent the imperial edict to Huaien, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, there was no movement for three days in a row. Liang Fang had to go to the eunuch of the ceremony three or five times a day, just to urge Huaien to handle it.
After delaying for three days, Eunuch Huai En couldn't delay any longer. If he continued to delay, it would really be disrespectful to the imperial edict.
Originally, Huai'en hoped that the emperor would change his mind, but after waiting for a long time, he had no choice but to issue the decree and formally pass it on to Wang Zhi, the admiral of Dongchang.
After Wang directly issued the order, he replied that he had to tie up his loose ends and settle the official affairs at hand before formally closing the deal with Liang Fang. This is human nature, and this is the only way to do it. The change of people in the Yamen was definitely not done without any hesitation.
There has to be a handover process.
But Eunuch Liang waited with great expectation for another three days. Before Wang Zhi's delivery came, he knew that he had been delayed again.
Wang Zhi was not a highly respected Huai En, and Eunuch Liang did not want to tolerate it. He was so angry that he filed a complaint in front of the emperor, accusing Emperor Chenghua of Wang Zhi deliberately delaying time and refusing to hand over his position, which was tantamount to rebellion.
Emperor Zhu Jianshen was scratching his head about this pair of living treasures, so he summoned Wang Zhi to give him a few words of lecture and asked Wang Zhi to quickly give up his post.
Wang Zhi then said: "I heard that Eunuch Liang has made a lot of money over the years, and his private pocket is very tight. But this time Liang Fang is about to take office, and there is no benefit at all. How can I convince this servant?"
These lines were all taught by Fang Yingwu in advance, and they were aimed at Emperor Chenghua's mentality of distinguishing between internal and external affairs, and putting private before public.
However, Wang Zhi acted like a money-grubbing scoundrel, which immediately made Emperor Chenghua very happy. The emperor was not afraid of his cronies tinkering with bad rules, otherwise he would not favor the purchasing eunuchs from various places.
Therefore, he pointed at Liang Fang indifferently and said: "Wang Zhi heard that you are getting rich, so he wants to ask for benefits from you. Don't be too stingy, it doesn't matter if you give him some, and it is indispensable for you to have a piece of meat. After all, it is you
I want to occupy his east factory!"
The emperor was so friendly that Liang Fang could only hold her nose and admit it. After going down, Liang Fang went to the mansion outside the palace in person, took out three hundred taels of silver, and gave it to Wang Zhi according to the address, which was regarded as following the order.
Wang Zhi took the money and replied swornly: "It will be delivered in two days!" Eunuch Liang could only wait again.
During this period, Eunuch Liang heard that there were many criticisms against him among the courtiers, and some of the comments sounded simply appalling.
However, Eunuch Liang didn't pay too much attention. Outside the palace, the sky was like two days, and the wind and rain outside the palace had nothing to do with the palace. (To be continued...)
