Fang Qingzhi didn't sleep well tonight, half because of his worries and half because of the pain of his wounds. When he got up the next day, he didn't have to go to the Hanlin Academy or the East Palace. He could only wait for where the officials would be.
He stood in the courtyard and couldn't help but feel a little confused. He asked his servants to summon Fang Yingwu, as if only his son, who was always uneasy, could give him reassurance at this time.
But a moment later, a report came back: "The young master went out early in the morning. I heard that he went to visit the Liu Mansion."
His son went to live with his second assistant Liu Ji? Fang Qingzhi was a little bit annoyed when he asked him. Is it because he, as a father, is about to fall into such a downturn that he will be sent to another place, and his son needs to find another place in the mountains?
But he said that Liu Cifu was already old and sleepless. Last night he was completely insomnia, and he was also very depressed this morning. There were very few people who encountered his situation and could not be depressed.
It would be wrong to say that Mr. Jisuke didn't get any benefits at all, but compared with the expected value, it was really far behind.
If the benefits don't appear at all, then it's fine, and there's nothing to think about. But if they appear in a random way, and then fall on seemingly unrelated people, how can it not be depressing?
Liu Mianhua couldn't help but remember his son-in-law's previous advice: "You must keep a normal mind and not be too immersed, so as not to be caught off guard when an accident occurs." This is the truth, but people are not saints, who can follow the truth completely?
Too bored to be dispatched, Mr. Cifu was flipping through books in the study. Suddenly he heard that his son-in-law Fang Yingwu was visiting, so he came in to meet him.
After sitting down for tea, Fang Yingwu asked knowingly: "Old Taishan looks tired today, why are you doing this?"
Liu Mianmian said with a low expression: "I worked so hard, but in the end I became a laughing stock. I fetched water from the bamboo basket in vain, and got almost nothing. What's more, Fu Que's remonstrance has angered the emperor, and probably consumed all the love accumulated over the years.
It’s empty, and it’s still wasted.”
Fang Yingwu thought for a moment and then advised: "Old Taishan is too worried. How can this be a laughing stock? When Old Taishan climbed up and shouted, he led all the kings to give advice. This is enough to set an example for the court. It can be said that I have spared you.
!If this is all a joke, then who are the people who are submissive and don’t dare to say a single word?”
Liu Mianhua was not in the mood to listen to Fang Yingwu's flattery. He waved his hands and said, "Stop pretending to be confused. In the eyes of thoughtful people, the butt of a joke is a laughing stock." The so-called thoughtful people naturally refer to those who can see through the true purpose.
Fang Yingwu continued to persuade: "It's not like Lao Taishan lives for those who have ulterior motives. There are hundreds of millions of people in the world with hundreds of millions of mouths. Can Lao Taishan convince them one by one?
Besides, the thoughtful people who think they understand are always in the minority. In this world, the majority are the careless and brainless people!"
This statement was a bit complicated. Liu Mianhua thought about it several times before he understood it. At first, he thought it was ridiculous. He was about to open his mouth to refute it, but he felt that it made sense.
In the end, Liu Mianhua could only say vaguely: "You are quite good at talking and understanding people." Fang Yingwu smiled and said: "Besides, Lao Taishan always feels that he has gained very little and is depressed about it. That is not right."
Liu Mianmian asked again: "How do you say this?" Fang Yingwu asked in reply: "My son-in-law doesn't know why Lao Taishan suddenly decided to gather the courtiers to remonstrate with him?"
Liu Mianhua was actually very reluctant to recall the ins and outs of this "failure" incident. But he knew that Fang Yingwu would not take the wrong aim, so he patiently replied: "Because I knew about the Emperor's Royal Wenhua Palace, I thought this was a rare opportunity. Here
At this time, Fukue's admonishment has the greatest effect.
Otherwise, I really don’t know what year or month the emperor will be able to come out of the inner palace next time. What impact will the emperor’s remonstrances and remonstrances have on the emperor who is hiding in the palace?”
Fang Yingwu suddenly slapped the table and said: "That's it! Nowadays, the Wenhua Palace is used as a place for the prince to study most of the time. The emperor's palace in the Wenhua Palace is obviously a place where good people don't come and have no good intentions. Anyone who wants to find the prince is wrong!
And Lao Taishan, you seized the opportunity and led the ministers to block the Zuoshun Gate, forcing the emperor to be unable to advance or retreat, and it was almost difficult to return to the palace. In the end, he used the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain to escape..."
"Even so, so what?" Liu Mianhua was disheartened.
Fang Yingwu smiled strangely. Then he asked again: "Old Taishan, think about it, after learning this lesson, will the emperor easily leave the inner palace and go to the Wenhua Palace again?"
Liu Mianhua thoughtfully replied: "Should we be cautious? I probably won't go to Wenhua Hall again."
Fang Yingwu said: "Don't you understand, Lao Taishan? If the emperor has such thoughts, then for the East Palace, it will really reduce the great pressure! Isn't this a great achievement?
As long as the Prince of the East Palace is not deposed, he is the crown prince of the country and the second person under the emperor. As long as he does not directly face the pressure of the emperor, who else can directly put pressure on him?
Therefore, Lao Taishan led his ministers to remonstrate with him. On the surface, it seemed to be fruitless, but in fact he still made great contributions to the East Palace and gave it a chance to breathe. What does Lao Taishan have to regret?"
Liu Mianhua couldn't help but be moved by Fang Yingwu's words, and his mood improved for the first time. If his son-in-law hadn't reminded him, he would have almost missed out on his own merit.
However, Liu Mianhua still said: "Even I almost didn't think of it myself, I'm afraid that others won't think of it either, I don't know!"
Fang Yingwu's answer was also very straightforward, "Then find a way to let those who should know understand!"
Weng and son-in-law looked at each other and smiled, and Liu Mianmian said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that, my dear son-in-law, you would come over so early to comfort me. I am really grateful for your kindness."
Fang Yingwu was a little confused. Why was Lao Taishan suddenly so disgusting? No, he was so warm, which was not like his past style. Could it be that he felt guilty because he deliberately excluded him yesterday? But it was so easy to feel guilty.
Is that still a "cotton" bachelor?
When he didn't know the truth, he could only answer as vaguely as possible. Fang Yingwu replied nonsensically: "Why did Lao Taishan say such a thing to kill my son-in-law?"
Liu Mianhua caressed his beard and said: "Your Majesty stepped on the clouds and climbed to the sky yesterday. The Taiwan Pavilion is just around the corner. In the future, your Fang family will probably outshine me. It is commendable that you are so diligent in visiting me."
Hearing this meaning, Fang Yingwu finally understood. Lao Taishan did not know that his father was about to be demoted from the capital. But it is normal to think about it carefully. Yesterday, the imperial edict was issued in the palace at night, and it was not spread out of the palace.
There was no time to spread the news early this morning.
So there was a misunderstanding - in Liu Mianmian's eyes, he was a sincere and kind person whose biological father was about to make a great career, who minimized his need for the Liu Mansion, and who was still diligent in visiting the Liu Mansion; not as a person who was about to get out of the house.
Beijing, in the future, there will be no one to rely on except the Liu Mansion, so something must be done to strengthen the thighs.
