After chatting for a few words, Fang Yingwu staggered slightly and moved Liu Mianhua to the front, while he followed Liu Mianhua step by step... Read the latest and most complete novel
In this way, one is to take care of Lao Taishan's mood, so that the old man will not get angry or break the jar; the other is to take care of Lao Taishan's needs. After all, Liu Mianhua needs prestige more than himself at the moment.
The two men, Weng and son-in-law, had not walked a few steps in tandem when they suddenly heard rapid footsteps coming from behind. Fang Yingwu saw that Liu Mianhua was about to stop and turned around to look back. He quickly whispered: "Don't stop." Keep looking forward and backward, and move forward!"
Liu Mianhua paused, then followed Fang Yingwu's advice and continued to walk through the door to the left.
But the footsteps behind him did not stop, and soon caught up with Weng and his son-in-law. Fang Yingwu glanced at him and couldn't help being surprised. The person he caught up with was actually the chief minister Wan'an, who was over 70 years old!
Fang Yingwu thought in astonishment, this old man is quite strong and he actually trotted all the way here...
Wan An ignored Fang Yingwu, a junior, and pointed at Liu Mianhua and shouted: "Liu Youzhi! As an assistant minister, how can you behave like this!"
Hearing Wan An's questioning of Liu Mianhua, Fang Yingwu suddenly realized. No wonder he always felt that today's things were very inconsistent. It turned out that this was the reason!
In retrospect, in the Ming Dynasty, there were very few examples of cabinet elders taking the lead in remonstrating. Most of the cases were caused by middle- and lower-level courtiers, especially Kedao Yanguan, who initiated resistance, and then the cabinet ministers reconciled between the emperor and the courtiers.
The reason is that the official positions of ordinary officials are obtained through the selection process. To glorify it, it is the selection of scholars, and there is not much consideration for the emperor in terms of affection;
But the elder is different. He is often directly appointed by the emperor, and his legal status is actually the emperor's secretary. He is naturally short-tongued. After receiving the "grace of knowing and meeting", it is inconvenient to wipe his face and fight with the emperor. He can only play in the middle. Peaceful old age.
So today Liu Mianmian, a scholar from the Second Fuzhou University, shouted at the top of his lungs to take the lead in remonstrating. It seemed very strange, and it seemed uncoordinated and normal. A dignified elder suddenly became an imperial censor or gave advice to others in an unusually high-profile manner. , how can it not be surprising.
This may not be the reason why others were hesitant at first. It may be a subconscious resistance to strange things; it may also be that they suddenly saw a bachelor from the University of Fushu not doing his job, and were surprised and became a little slow, leading to a cold scene. But they responded later. Only when things like this came out and shouted slogans did everyone's thinking return to the normal track.
However, in order to build his reputation today, Liu Mianhua was determined not to have the honor and dignity of a great scholar, and replied to Wan An in a calm tone: "This is the duty of a minister! If Wan Xianggong doesn't want to agree, don't force it. "
Wan An showed two blue veins on his forehead and gritted his teeth and said: "I have never seen anyone as shameless as you in my life! You are so embarrassed to be like this! Don't you understand, who in other people's hearts will really care about you? Don't deceive yourself! "
Wan An's few words directly hit Liu Mianhua's pain point. In front of others, Liu Mianhua could put on the air of "taboo for the respectable" to comfort himself, but he did not in front of Wan Mianhua, who was more "respectable" than himself. Have to quibble.
Therefore, Liu Mianhua couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment. The scene just now really hurt his self-esteem. If his son-in-law hadn't come to the rescue...
Fang Yingwu frowned, Wan Shoufu was really not a fuel-efficient person, and Lao Taishan had the wrong mentality... Today was really weird. Why was Lao Taishan, who had always been reliable, always in trouble?
While Liu Mianmian was in a daze, Fang Yingwu quickly interjected: "The chief assistant said it lightly. If Mr. Liu Ge is ignored at best, then what if you go up to the chief assistant?
I'm sure. I'm afraid they are all yelling and booing at the chief minister, and I don't know how unpleasant it is. Do you really dare to laugh at fifty steps after you have taken one hundred steps? Who is so shameless?"
Liu Mianmian couldn't help but laugh "haha". What Fang Yingwu said is really possible. It is true that only comparison can lead to happiness. I feel much better.
Although his reputation is far worse than that of the Fang family and his son, there is still no problem in killing the chief minister Wan An in an instant. At least he is not as shy as Wan An to curry favor with the noble concubine and get married, and he does not offer his love to the emperor...
Wan An's face changed again and again, but he realized rationally that his quarrel with Fang Yingwu was just asking for humiliation. Even if the argument got angry, he would not be his opponent, so he snorted and walked away.
Fang Yingwu and Liu Mianhua continued to move forward until they reached the Zuoshun Gate before stopping. After passing the Zuoshun Gate, they reached the Wenhua Hall. It was rare that the Emperor was here.
When Fang Yingwu was about to say a few words, he suddenly heard Liu Mianhua sighing quietly: "Today I broke up with Wanmeizhou, and the days to come will be difficult."
Fang Yingwu explained: "Why has Lao Taishan lost his confidence and ambition? If you don't break up with such a villain and completely draw a clear line with him, how can you be the first assistant in the future? What's more, long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain. It's hard to be sad.
Years are better than being miserable for ten or twenty years!"
Liu Mianmian was surprised and asked: "Why don't you have any fear?" Fang Yingwu said disdainfully: "Withered bones in the grave, what are you afraid of?"
Liu Mianhua always felt that Fang Yingwu's words were meaningful and rich in meaning, but he had no time to think about it in detail.
But it was said that it was rare for the emperor to visit the Wenhua Palace today, so the Zuoshunmen area was already occupied by guards and troops on guard from the outside, with a number of internal guards on duty in the middle.
Standing outside Zuoshun Gate, Liu Mianhua finally looked back a few times. A scattered one or two hundred people appeared in his field of vision, so he was slightly relieved. With these people supporting the scene, at least it would not become a joke today.
.
When the eunuch on duty at Zuoshun Gate saw so many ministers swarming to the door, he quickly stood on the steps and shouted: "Stop! What do you want from gathering here?"
Liu Mianhua coughed heavily, straightened his clothes, and stood out from the crowd to answer on behalf of the courtiers. At this moment, no one else, as long as Fang Yingwu didn't come to steal the limelight, all the glory would be his.
Liu Mianhua slowly raised his head, his eyes that had always been slightly cloudy gradually became sharper, his flabby face tightened, his body stood straight, and he exuded an aura of perseverance inside and out.
Everyone focused their attention on Liu Mianhua. As long as Mr. Cifu opened his mouth, the annual drama would begin.
Everyone held their breath and listened, but saw Master Cifu finishing brewing his momentum, his eyebrows moved, and he was about to... Suddenly, they saw a shadow quickly running out from Master Cifu, and rushed directly to Liu Cifu and the person on duty.
The middle of the eunuch.
Before I could see clearly who this person was, I heard him shouting to the eunuch: "Guo Bunu, the censor of Xiahu Guangdao! We have gathered here today to pay homage to the holy minister, Yuan Xiaoren,
To uphold the foundation of the country and uphold the principles of the dynasty!"
Only then did others see clearly. They saw that Guo Bunu, the censor, had a round head, big ears, uncertain eyes, and a cunning look that was beyond words. I really don’t know how he got into the Metropolitan Procuratorate with such a distinguished appearance. You must know that the censor
Official positions are very particular about appearance.
Liu Mianmian was dumbfounded, Fang Yingwu was dumbfounded, and everyone was dumbfounded. Where did this thing come from?
Then Liu Mianlian became extremely angry, and so did Fang Yingwu. This person dared to force himself out to steal the show. Isn't it because he thought his life was too long?
The eunuch on duty at Zuo Shunmen can only be a messenger. He can't decide anything. He only needs to understand roughly what's going on. He doesn't care who is the leader and who is the deputy. When he heard a few words from Guo Bunu, he panicked.
Zhang ran inside, probably to report something.
Everyone was speechless. Instead of the impassioned atmosphere, there was a strange silence. Liu Mianhua stared at the censor who called himself Guo Bunu, with a fierce gaze as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
Xiang Chengxian, who was caught in the crowd, walked to Fang Yingwu knowingly, and Fang Yingwu whispered: "I heard in the Metropolitan Procuratorate that Guo Buyu is Liu Jue's disciple."
Fang Yingwu looked up to the sky and sighed, just now it was Wan'an, now it is Liu Jue, the elders are not fuel-efficient lamps! (To be continued...)
