After seeing off Yin Long, the uninvited guest, Fang Yingwu fell into deep thought. Although he rejected Yin Long face to face very forcefully and simply, as if without thinking, it did not mean that he would not carefully figure out the reason afterwards.
A person like Yin Long will never do things without a clear goal. His intention to marry the third lady of the Liu family seems simply unbelievable and inexplicable, but what exactly is his idea? Or we should ask, it is not Yin Long's idea, but Li Butian
What is Guan Yinmin’s true thoughts?
Thinking about it, Yin Tianguan's real power and status are not much worse than those of Ge Lao, and he has strong support like Liu Jue, so there is no need to deliberately curry favor with Liu Mianhua.
Besides, in Yin Min's eyes, the prince is now in danger. Liu Mianhua's failed speculation has offended the emperor. He may be dismissed from office in a few days. Can he go up to get married?
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu suddenly jumped up from his chair. Is it possible that Yin Min wants to join the cabinet to replace Liu Mianhua?
Yin Min has been the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel for seven or eight years. According to the rules, he should have been transferred long ago. How can one person hold such a position as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel for a long time.
It’s just that Yin Tianguan cannot be moved or transferred. There are only cabinet bachelors above the Ministry of Personnel. There is great resistance to Yin Tianguan’s entry into the cabinet, and there is no vacancy for him in the cabinet. But what if Liu Mianhua, the second assistant, becomes an official?
Suppose Liu Mianhua failed in his speculation and could not keep his position as a bachelor in the cabinet, and Yin Min, the Minister of Civil Affairs, married Liu Mianhua, what would be the use to both parties?
Through marriage, Yin Min can absorb all Liu Mianhua's power and enrich his own team. After joining the cabinet, his foundation will be no worse than others.
Liu Mianmian, on the other hand, could entrust his funeral affairs to a powerful person, thus avoiding the risk of being forced to take office and his original accomplices being liquidated and retaliated against. The exchange was probably to get married and recommend Yin Min to the cabinet.
This is the best of both worlds. Even if Liu Mianhua himself doesn't have this intention, his cronies will probably try their best to facilitate it.
In addition, although cabinet scholar Liu Jue has a great feud with Liu Mianhua, he is probably happy to see the outcome. After all, Yin Min succeeding Liu Mianhua in the cabinet is tantamount to strengthening his own power, and he can even compete with his chief minister Wan An
It's arm wrestling.
From this point of view, the benefits of Liu Mianhua marrying his daughter to Yin Long are not small. If Liu Mianhua is really forced to become an official and looks for a way out, marrying the Yin family will definitely be better than the down-and-out Fang family.
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but break out a few drops of cold sweat. If all these fantasies came true, he would have to say that there are no eternal enemies. There are only eternal interests.
He suddenly slapped his forehead again, forgetting to ask Yin Long just now, had he met Liu Mianhua first? Did Liu Mianhua know that Yin Long came to visit him? What was Liu Mianhua's attitude?
After the news of the downfall of Huai En, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, everyone thought that the prince was going to be deposed, and anyone who supported the prince would be in trouble. As the second assistant, Liu Mianhua was recognized as the first person to bear the brunt.
And Liu Mianhua was not known for his kind character and integrity. Instead, he was most famous for his pragmatism, so Fang Yingwu couldn't help but murmur.
Since Yin Long dared to come to talk to him, Liu Mianhua should at least get the news. I wonder what decision Liu Mianhua will make?
If it were in the past, Fang Yingwu would not have worried about Liu Mianhua's change of heart at all. He Fang Yingwu had the confidence. But now we are in an extraordinary period. He Fang Yingwu had confidence in himself. But how could others know?
If nothing else, everything depends on Liu Mianhua's judgment of the future and then making corresponding choices. Fang Yingwu thought silently.
Being pessimistic about the future is a way of living. The most likely way is to find a way to succeed and retire; while being optimistic is another way of living. Smiling and struggling to the death, the result is unknown.
At dinner time, Fang Qingzhi called Fang Yingwu over and asked with concern: "Do I need to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate with you tomorrow as a father?"
Fang Yingwu quickly thanked him: "Thank you very much, Father, for thinking about me."
Fang Qingzhi said sincerely: "You and I, father and son, don't be polite! My father can tie you up and put you in a posture of asking for forgiveness, and then beat you in public, which may reduce the punishment of the court.
"
Fang Yingwu's eyes filled with gratitude: "Father, please don't overwork yourself. My son, I won't go!"
Fang Qingzhi sighed and said, "You are already a grown man. Don't always say angry words. Here are the laws and regulations of the imperial court. You won't go if you don't want to? You should do it as a father. At worst, be gentler."
Fang Yingwu responded vaguely and slipped back to the west courtyard. The next day, when Fang Qingzhi sent someone to call Fang Yingwu, he was informed that the young master had left the house early in the morning.
Did he go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate on his own? Fang Qingzhi thought about it and could only sigh, "Let him go." Most likely, his arrogant son didn't want to be embarrassed in front of him.
At Mrs. He's restaurant outside Dong'an Gate, Fang Yingwu told Mrs. He: "Go quickly and send a message to Mr. Wang to come and meet."
Mrs. He replied: "The slave family can send someone to deliver the message, but they dare not say when they will come. I heard that Mr. Wang is going to enter the palace today, so I can't tell the time."
Fang Yingwu sat down and said, "Then I won't go anywhere. I will just wait here today."
Madam He brought tea to Fang Yingwu and asked, "Isn't Mr. Fang supposed to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate today? How did you come to the slave's house?"
Fang Yingwu thought about his own concerns and replied casually: "Because I suddenly suffered from procrastination. I feel that it is not good to go too early, and it is not too late to go a few days late."
"I don't understand." Mrs. He thought she was smart, but she couldn't understand what Fang Yingwu meant.
Fang Yingwu clenched his fist and pounded the table and said: "This is called throwing bricks to attract jade, and luring the snake out of its hole! As the saying goes, the strong wind knows the strength of the grass. If you drag it for a few days, you will see who is jumping for joy, and see who is adding insult to injury, and who is betraying your trust! In this world!
There are all kinds of things, and you have to jump out to see them clearly.”
Fang Yingwu waited until the afternoon before he met Wang Zhi. After meeting, Wang Zhi couldn't help complaining: "As the person who knows you best in the world, you can't deceive me. What you did seemed to be deliberately seeking death, but in fact it was definitely
There is another plan!
The last time you were surrounded by enemies, was it because you impeached Liu Jue at the end of the 20th year of Chenghua? Then there was an earthquake in the capital. Could it be that you had a premonition that something terrible was going to happen this time? So you used the strategy of risking death and reviving again.
Trick?"
Fang Yingwu was thoughtful and answered the question without hesitation: "I am not a great immortal. I cannot predict people's hearts. Even if the sky changes, it has nothing to do with me."
People's hearts? Wang Zhi guessed, "Although I don't know what happened, it seems that you can't trust anyone, and would rather hide here with me in a daze. But you can still think of coming to me, which really touches me."
Fang Yingwu ignored Wang Zhi's warmth, "I'm not here to listen to your low-level analysis. I'm here to ask you to help me check Yin Long." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and more updated novels.

ps: I suddenly had some special work today, which took up my time, so I couldn’t finish two updates, but I will try my best to continue writing, and I will probably postpone the update until before going to work tomorrow morning. In addition, I have opened up new ideas, and the original ideas have changed.
