"What Lao Taishan said is exaggerated. How could my father reach such a state..." Fang Yingwu followed Liu Mianhua's tone and said half a sentence, and then changed the subject, "In fact, what worries my son-in-law the most now is
Lao Taishan, your situation."
Liu Mianhua just took the first half of Fang Yingwu's sentence as his usual modesty and didn't think much about it. When he heard the second half of the sentence, it hit his heart again.
Yes, although Liu Mianhua has been depressed about yesterday's events, it does not mean that he is not aware of his situation. It's just that yesterday's events hit him too hard, and too many emotions can't help but linger, and he has no time to prepare for future events.
Just thinking.
Therefore, Liu Mianhua nodded in agreement, "I'm afraid that from now on we will enter into troubled times again! All our favors and honors come from the Holy One. Yesterday, I hated the emperor, and the foundation will inevitably be shaken. There will be few people waiting for opportunities to cause trouble."
Fang Yingwu also followed the words: "My son-in-law believes that the biggest danger to Lao Taishan currently comes from Liu Jue. Does Lao Taishan think so?"
The chief assistant, Wan An, is a shady person, so he cannot rush out to quarrel with Lao Taishan in a hurry. Firstly, he probably wants to observe for some time; secondly, he is already the chief assistant, and he will not get much benefit from being in trouble with Lao Taishan;
Thirdly, he and Lao Taishan did not have much grudge or personal enmity.
But when Lao Taishan usurped Liu Jue's position as the second assistant, Liu Jue was definitely not willing to accept this and was always waiting to regain the position of the second assistant. Now that he encounters such an opportunity, he will not let it go easily, and will definitely cause trouble.
"
Liu Mianhua agreed: "What the wise son-in-law said is absolutely true. The person most dangerous to me at the moment should indeed be Liu Jue. In order to seize opportunities, this person will not move too slowly. Maybe there has been some movement now. I see that since you
I brought it up because I must have considered it all. You might as well tell me and let me hear it."
Fang Yingwu replied confidently: "Old Taishan might as well turn against the enemy and strike first to gain the upper hand! The first is to disrupt Liu Jue's methods. The second is the principle that attacking the enemy must save him, which is enough to force Liu Jue to think of ways to save himself, so why bother?
Are you adding insult to injury to Lao Taishan?"
"What you said is correct, but it's too false. You have to come up with an explanation for how I should act specifically." Liu Mianhua urged.
Although Fang Yingwu was urged, he remained calm and said calmly: "We can start with Yin Min, the Minister of Personnel."
Liu Mianhua was surprised, but he did not expect Fang Yingwu to directly name a big guy. The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is known as the Heavenly Official. He is the head of the civil servants of the foreign dynasty and one of the courtiers with the most personal power. His political weight is enough to rival the elders.
Although Yin Min, the current Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is not a member of the cabinet, the status of the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel is not much worse than that of the cabinet ministers. And as we all know, the Tianguan Yin Min and the scholar Liu Jue are both from Shandong, and they are a very close political alliance.
"Taking action against Yin Min has many benefits. It can slightly solve Lao Taishan's predicament. Firstly, it can break off Liu Jue's right and left arms; secondly, it is heavy enough, and it will definitely distract Liu Jue from taking care of himself. It will be difficult to distract himself from Old Taishan.
fight.
Thirdly, it is enough to deter others from taking any rash actions, and Lao Taishan will naturally be stable; fourthly, it may be possible to implicate Liu Jue through Yin Min and find out some illegal activities, and Lao Taishan can take the opportunity to capture Liu Jue. There are so many
Benefits. Why wouldn’t Lao Taishan do it?”
After listening to Fang Yingwu's eloquent talk, Liu Mianmian felt that in order to deal with Liu Jue, he had to take action on the official minister. It made sense logically.
But he was still a little worried. The Tianguan of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was a character who could compete with the cabinet bachelors. He might not be a soft persimmon, and it might be harder to bite than Liu Jue. That would be putting the cart before the horse.
Fang Yingwu knew what Liu Mianmian was worried about, and explained in detail: "Yin Shangshu has been in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for ten years and has been minister for seven or eight years. It is time for a replacement. How can one person hold such an important position for a long time?"
Even if you directly use this reason to the emperor, it still makes sense.
Moreover, Yin Min had been the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel for seven or eight years, so many officials must have been dissatisfied with him due to unsatisfactory selections. Lao Taishan must have paid attention to this aspect, and he could have called a few people to impeach Yin Min.
After what happened yesterday, I believe that Lao Taishan organized the impeachment of Yin Min and was familiar with it. This is one. At the same time, my son-in-law gathered some censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and jointly submitted a petition to impeach him. This is two.
In addition, Yin Min offended Li Zi Province because of his pride, and Deng Changen and others tried to intervene in the election, arranged personal favors, and were at odds with each other. Lao Taishan could secretly contact this generation and agree to accompany Yin Min to lure them directly to the emperor.
Slander, this is three."
Liu Mianhua frowned and questioned: "You want me to collude with Li Zisheng, Deng Changen and other alchemists?"
Why are you pretending to be pure now? Fang Yingwu advised: "Old Taishan complied with the overall situation and gathered the courtiers who were dissatisfied with Yin Shangshu. At the same time, the son-in-law went to the censor to jointly impeach him. These are all upright plots.
And in Li Zi Province, if Deng Changen and others can slander the emperor, they will be surprise soldiers who attack from behind. The art of war says that a perfect combination can lead to a surprise victory, so why not?"
Liu Mianhua calculated silently. Such a three-pronged approach, coupled with the fact that Yin Min had been the Minister of Civil Affairs for a long time and should have been replaced, could really shake Yin Min's position. The idea pointed out by Fang Yingwu was very feasible.
Fang Yingwu continued to analyze Liu Mianhuan: "Liu Jue has recently become close to his chief minister Wan An, but it is only because of the general trend and interests. It does not mean that Wan An must be the same as Liu Jue in everything. After all, Wan An was originally
There were conflicts with Liu Jue.
After much deliberation, Wan'an had no reason to help Yin Min. Maybe he would be happy to see the results and take the opportunity to add insult to injury. Doesn't Wan'an want to install a private person in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?
If things don't go well and you weigh the pros and cons at a critical moment, you can give up the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to Wan An. My son-in-law doesn't believe that Wan An is not tempted! So as long as Lao Taishan is determined, there is no way that Yin Min will not fail!"
"It's done!" Liu Mianhua said. He knew that he would definitely face difficulties, but he couldn't think of a better way to break the situation, so he could only adopt Fang Yingwu's suggestion and start with Yin Min, the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel.
To be strong, catch Liu Jue off guard!
Moreover, Liu Mianmian trusted Fang Yingwu's ideas, which he had accumulated through one incident after another in the past.
Thinking of this, Liu Cifu sighed again: "I can't believe that you would do your best to plan for me. It is really commendable. I will keep it in my heart."
What Liu Mianmian meant was that the Fang family was already going to a big stage, and he might not be of much use to Fang Yingwu in the future. In this case, Fang Yingwu could still come over early in the morning and plan for him wholeheartedly, so he deserved it.
Four words are rare and valuable.
For this gratitude, Fang Ying, who had ulterior motives, deserved it. He changed the topic and reminded: "Time waits for no one, Lao Taishan must take action, the sooner the better, it is best not to fall behind Liu Jue."
Liu Mianhua immediately took out his pen, unfolded the paper and said: "I will edit a few letters now and summon people to meet tonight! Send people to see Li Zi Province and we can start tomorrow."
Seeing Lao Taishan making arrangements one by one, Fang Yingwu said slowly: "Actually, there are still things that have not been reported to Lao Taishan. Last night the emperor issued an order to demote my father to a remote county...
"
Liu Mianhua had indeed not heard the news yet and asked in surprise: "Where will he be demoted?" Fang Yingwu hesitated and said: "It needs to be selected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
The official selection? Liu Mianhua suddenly realized it. No wonder Fang Yingwu tempted him to point the finger at the official department!
Then Liu Jue and the Fang family are sworn enemies. How can he get better by throwing Fang Qingzhi, who has lost his favor, to the official selection? There are too many tricks to manipulate in the official selection. Throwing Fang Qingzhi to different
Place is the difference between heaven and earth.
That's why Fang Yingwu instigated himself to deal with Yin Min and make room for Fang Qingzhi! No wonder Fang Yingwu rushed over early in the morning, probably because he wanted to finalize the matter before he knew the news.
Liu Cifu couldn't help but sneer again and again: "So you want to kill people with a borrowed knife and drive me to draw chestnuts from the fire!"
Fang Yingwu apologized and said with a smile: "It is convenient for others and it is convenient for myself. I am for everyone and everyone is for me. We are all grasshoppers on the same line. If my father gets convenience, Lao Taishan does not suffer a loss. Besides, this idea is
The idea of mutual benefit is also good for Lao Taishan."
Liu Mianhua said angrily: "Fortunately, I know you are loyal and loyal. Who would have thought that hiding such thoughts would waste my gratitude! Are you so embarrassed?"
Fang Yingwu said: "Yesterday, in front of Zuoshun Gate, Lao Taishan drove his son-in-law away. Did he have any complaints at all? Lao Taishan didn't feel sorry for him at that time."
This...Liu Mianhua was speechless.
Fang Yingwu is very determined. It is difficult to catch an arrow with water on the string. It is impossible to be swayed by emotions, otherwise Liu Mianmian is not a qualified politician. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
