Chapter six hundred and fiftieth eight thousand times
This time there was something unexpected in the questioning. While everyone was talking about it in the hall, Fang Yingwu looked around and felt that the atmosphere was almost too hot, so he spoke again and said arrogantly:
"I heard that there is a villain who talks so much that Your Majesty is also concerned about this matter and intends to drive me out of the capital. Then I asked the Dazhong Cheng to repeat to Your Majesty, saying that we should be in the year of things and the weak crown will be the merits of the country. I don't know the Ming Dynasty.
How should we treat meritorious officials? Can some minor mistakes be forgiven through public discussion?"
Logically speaking, such words are usually spoken by a third party. Under normal circumstances, there is no way for one to express his merits... But Fang Yingwu said this, but it didn't make people feel...
It goes against the grain, but on the contrary, it also attracts a lot of sympathy.
Probably because this fault is too small compared to the merits. For such a small fault as a fight, he was forced to use those great achievements to save his life. He was reduced to this. Under the arrogance, he was desolate. How could such a contrast not be shocking?
Feeling sad? So Fang Yingwu was not regarded as posturing or boasting.
Li Yu and Li Dazhongcheng felt dumbfounded the most. If they had known that Fang Yingwu was going to pull out such a trump card, there would be no need to worry these days. He sat up straight again, nodded and said: "I know, I will be exempted from punishment."
"
Fang Yingwu suddenly seemed to think of something again and said to Li Yu, "I still have something to say."
Li Yu couldn't help but glare at Fang Yingwu. Just now he was pretending to be silent, but now he was talking endlessly and talking nonsense.
Fang Yingwu chuckled and said with some hint: "I have several merits for this official. You can't use all of them to reduce this small mistake. Just use one of them." After finishing speaking, Fang Yingwu looked at it for some reason.
Mu Wencai glanced next to him.
Mu Bulang felt only four words from Fang Yingwu's eyes. That was "with bad intentions". He was beaten once by Fang Yingwu like a rogue, and he offset it with one merit; how many words did Fang Yingwu have left?
If you have achieved such a great achievement, can you still beat yourself a few times, and the beatings will be in vain?
Li Dazhongcheng obviously understood the meaning, and shouted quickly: "Don't be ridiculous. I have my own sense of discretion, so please stand down!"
Mu Wencai let out a long sigh, there is nothing he can do now! Just forget it! This is the only way this time, the green mountains are gone and the green water flows, we will see you later!
Then Mu Wencai took a step forward and said to Li Yu: "It is all up to Dazhong Cheng to decide the matter impartially. I will take my leave now." Then Mu Wencai turned around and was about to leave, but Fang Yingwu still stood still.
"Wait a minute! I still have something to say," Fang Yingwu shouted quickly, causing everyone in the hall to look sideways. Isn't it over yet?
Fang Yingwu said to Li Yulang: "It just so happens that Mr. Mu also arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate today, so he won't do it twice. I will report that Mr. Mu is unfair in the selection of officials. He has sinister intentions and is not worthy of being the chief official of the Literature and Selection Department! Please invite the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
You impeach Mu Wencai!"
Mu Wencai was so angry that Fang Yingwu committed murder and hurt people. It would have been nice not to hold him accountable, but he actually wanted to hit him in the face and bite him in the face? No matter how great his merits are, can he spit on others?
Li Yu couldn't help but frown, feeling that Fang Yingwu had gone too far. Mu Wencai was indeed not friendly to Fang Qingzhi, and the place he arranged was not good enough. But it was his duty to make plans to fill the vacancies. As long as it complied with the regulations, he could not act just because he was not convinced.
Hit someone. Don't openly criticize someone's character just because you're not convinced.
The imperial court has its own rules and regulations. If everyone is like Fang Yingwu, who messes around in selecting officials, and even openly criticizes officials without any basis, then where are the rules and regulations of the imperial court? This is not how troubles are caused. As the saying goes, don't pursue the enemy when you are poor.
.....
Before Li Yu could say anything, Mu Wen turned around. He sneered repeatedly and said sarcastically: "Master Fang, you want to imitate the people in the market and beat up scoundrels? This is my duty. I have my own reasons for how to do official business. As long as it conforms to the imperial edict."
There are all laws and regulations. Mr. Fang is gesticulating here, but don't you feel that your hand is stretched too far? The Lords of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are here to comment on it!"
Fang Yingwu said "haha" without any guilt and smiled up at the sky, "Mu Wencai! You yourself said that it is in line with the imperial edict and the laws and regulations are beyond reproach. How dare you ask how you can do it?"
Mu Wencai replied tit for tat: "The emperor has a decree to demote Fang Qingzhi to a remote state. I have been ordered to draw up a prefectural judgment for Fang Qing to supplement Yunnan and Beishengzhou. Why not? Could it be that Yunnan is not our territory of the Ming Dynasty?"
Fang Yingwu sneered a few more times, "You also said that there are laws and regulations besides edicts. There are precedents. Why don't you follow them?"
Mu Wencai was stunned, what is the precedent?
Fang Yingwu yelled and scolded: "What an ignorant bitch, I am ashamed to sit in the same court with you! Could it be that the four admonitions of the Imperial Academy were all fake? How did the four admonitions of the Hanlin demote me? Can't my father follow the rules?"
Everyone was also a little confused. The Four Admonitions of the Imperial Academy were allusions from nearly twenty years ago. What happened when the emperor first came to the throne today? Why did Fang Yingwu suddenly bring out the Four Admonitions of the Imperial Academy today? Is it because Fang Qingzhi was behind the throne?
The imperial edict was once known as the fifth admonishment of Hanlin?
Fang Yingwu glanced around and raised his voice, "In the 23rd year of Chenghua, the editor of the Hanlin Academy demoted Luo Yifeng to be promoted to Quanzhou City Bosi, and the editor Zhang Fengshan was demoted to Linwu County Magistrate and was renamed Dali Temple in Nanjing.
The editor Huang Weixuan was demoted to be the magistrate of Xiangtan County and changed to be the judge of Dali Temple in Nanjing. The reviewer Zhuang Muzhai was demoted to the judge of Guiyang Prefecture and changed to the deputy of Nanjing Pingren Department. You should all know these four sages!"
The smart people have heard the truth and immediately realized Fang Yingwu's intention.
Then Fang Yingwu turned to Mu Wencai and said: "The four sages who offended the emperor were all demoted to remote states and counties, but the furthest they were no more than a remote place in Huguang. And what crime did my father commit that was so heinous that you sent him to such a distant place?"
Yunnan?”
Mu Wencai defended himself: "One moment, another moment, and precedents do not necessarily have to be followed. How can we cut a boat and use a sword to apply it mechanically?"
Fang Yingwu asked disdainfully: "Then the place where my father was demoted is not closer than the precedent, but why is it deliberately further away?"
After that, Fang Yingwu was too lazy to argue with Mu Wencai. He pointed angrily at Mu Wencai and scolded him: "By God, what are your Mu Wencai's intentions? Can the world really not see it? How dare you flatter the powerful and persecute the loyal and the good.
Is it true that there is no natural reason for me to look at my face and bark wildly, shamelessly saying that it is in line with the edicts and laws?
How can any loyal person not be angry at such an ugly act? Forget about me beating you, a villain. Even if I wield a weapon and kill you, a treacherous villain, I can still eliminate harm for the country!"
Fang Yingwu's aura was extremely intimidating. He yelled and scolded him like a barrage of words. His words were like daggers, which made Mu Wencai subconsciously retreat. He didn't know where to defend himself. The people around him could only sigh inwardly when they thought about it.
Awesome wordsmith!
Mu Wencai took a few steps back, but he leaned against the pillar. With no way to retreat, he felt extremely regretful and wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl in. If he had known that it would be so embarrassing, why bother to come!
Li Yu said at the beginning that he didn't need to come here today, but he couldn't hold it in one breath and wanted to see Fang Yingwu punished with his own eyes, so he came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Now he lost all his face! He might be punished in the future.
laugh at!
And it’s not just a matter of being laughed at. If the imperial censor finds that he is persecuting loyal people and impeaches him, it will be a question of whether he can keep his position as a doctor in the Wenxuan Department!
Everyone watching was also drunk. Many people have seen what Fang Yingwu looked like when he was high-spirited. But when his family was in decline and he was surrounded by enemies, Fang Yingwu could still force the chief of the literary selection department to hang himself. It was really impressive.
, can’t be dissatisfied.
After Fang Yingwu scolded Mu Wencai, he never looked at him again. He raised his hand and made a bow to Li Yu and the crowd of spectators: "I am not just selfish because my father suffered injustice. I am worried about far more than that."
Now, I would also like to ask, what do the officials mean by doing this?
Broadly speaking, if you let the officials wantonly suppress those who are honest and courageous, how is this different from blocking the way for speech? In the future, when you give advice, do you still have to look at the eyes of the officials and consider the retreat first? "
Now even Li Yu has to praise: What a powerful word! After such a summary and refinement, it has risen from scolding to the level of political correctness of "smooth speech", and it also perfectly fits the psychological state of the censors and dares to speak out.
Apart from Leng Tou Qing, who among the admonishers is not worried about the future?
In the end, Fang Yingwu sighed quietly: "When the Lords of the Metropolitan Procuratorate saw such unfair things, did they hesitate to say a word?"
Li Yu smiled bitterly again. It is conceivable that the memorial to impeach Mu Wencai after today will have to be calculated by a ruler. At present, a censor has already expressed his position on the spot, vowing to fight to the end against evildoers like Mu Wencai, but there are still no responders.
few.
Xiang Chengxian and Xiang Dayushi stood out from the crowd and said loudly: "Although a doctor in the literary selection department holds an important position, if there is no one to support him, how can he dare to persecute Zhongliang? There are high-ranking officials and dignitaries instigating him behind his back!"
Before others could react, Xiang Chengxian quickly turned around and asked: "Master Fang is a person familiar with the inside story, do you know who it is?" Fang Yingwu thought for a moment and then replied: "As far as I know, it's probably the officials.
Come on, Heavenly Official Yin Min!"
Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder Mr. Mu had such courage, so that's it, that's it! It wouldn't be surprising if someone from the Ministry of Civil Affairs ordered it. But after the sudden realization, everyone realized that things had changed again.
Fang Yingwu's acquittal was the first change, Fang Yingwu's counterattack against Mu Wencai was the second change, and this time it was the third. Today's interrogation was full of twists and turns, making people dizzy and breathless.
Come on, I don’t even have time to think quietly.
Mu Wencai's expression was extremely strange, as if he was shocked. But he was not shocked that Fang Yingwu guessed correctly, but he was shocked that Fang Yingwu guessed wrong...especially when he guessed wrong and was so confident. He
To take refuge is not to take refuge in Yin Min! (To be continued)
