With the conscience of heaven and earth, even if Mu Wencai and Mu Bulang were asked to swear in public that "if you take refuge in Yin Min, your whole family will die," he would still dare to say it, because he did not take refuge in Yin Min, and Fang Yingwu was just talking nonsense.
As the Minister of Literary Selection, Mu Wencai was directly stuck at the gate of official selection. According to tradition and influence, he was the second most important position in the Ministry of Personnel. His actual power even exceeded that of the pragmatic Minister. It can be said that he was full of weight and could not find a backer randomly.
.
If you want to take refuge, go to the biggest one, go to the one who needs you the most. Only in this way can you maximize your personal interests. What's the point of taking refuge in Yin Min? Yin Min himself is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so he really needs a doctor who has overlapping powers.
Take refuge?
Thinking of this, Mu Wen temporarily forgot about his extremely unfavorable situation, and couldn't help but secretly mock the other party.
No matter how shrewd you are in dealing with things, there will always be times when you are confused. Do you think that officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs must seek refuge with their immediate superiors? Since you touched the wrong temple door, don't blame others for plotting against you when you die!
Mu Wencai gradually woke up from his dazed state and stared at Fang Yingwu hatefully. However, Fang Yingwu did not make any movements or words at this time. He was like an old monk in trance, which was completely different from the excited look just now.
people.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yingwu's good brother Xiang Chengxian came over, put on the air of the censor, and questioned him in a business-like manner: "I am supervising the censor Xiang Chengxian, and I would like to ask Mr. Mu whether what Fang Shiyi said is true."
Is this true? The banishment of the scholar to Yunnan was actually an injustice done to Zhongliang. Did Yin Shangshu instruct you to do it?"
A bunch of idiots can't see this? What Yin Tianguan ordered, of course it was fabricated out of thin air... Mu Wencai pretended to be disdainful, and opened his mouth to answer.
But just when Mu Wencai's words came to his lips, he suddenly heard Fang Yingwu raise his eyelids and mutter to himself: "Think twice before you say anything. If you make a mistake, you will never be able to recover."
Mu Wencai was extremely confused, but the person who could sit in the position of the chief officer of the Literature and Selection Department was definitely not stupid. He looked stupid today just because he met the corresponding object. So Lord Mu quickly realized something, closed his mouth, and started to be stunned.
, this question seems to be very deep...
It is said that Yin Min, the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel, and Liu Jue, the great scholar, were allies from the same hometown, and Liu Jue and Wan An had deep conflicts most of the time. Liu Jue did not scold Wan An either privately or publicly once or twice.
Although Liu Jue and Wan An have taken the same position on the crown prince issue this year, to a large extent it is only a temporary compromise for the common interests and does not mean that they have completely turned enemies into friends.
In this case, Yin Min, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who was in conflict with Liu Jue, was naturally not the first assistant Wan'an's cup of tea. For many years, Wan Shoufu had always wanted to replace Yin Min.
However, Liu Jue, who is also a bachelor, is constrained by this, and Yin Min, the official minister, is also very powerful. Therefore, Wan Angui, as the chief assistant, has nothing to do with Yin Min, or in other words, there is nothing he can do to stop Liu Jue and Yin Min.
Political alliances cannot fully control the staff.
But the official office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was really at a critical point, and Wan Shoufu had to take care of it. At this time, Mu Wencai, the doctor in the Literary Selection Department, was naturally the talent Wan Shoufu needed very much. In Wan Shoufu's eyes, his importance was far greater than that of ordinary people.
According to the principles of "biggest" and "most needed", in Mu Wencai's eyes, the person most worthy of seeking refuge is the first assistant, Wan An, and the two slaps are instantaneous. Of course, the first assistant, Wan An, also welcomes this very much.
After having Mu Wencai, Wan Shoufu set a deep nail in the official department.
It's just that this matter is very low-key and not clear to outsiders. Only Yin Min, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was slightly aware of it from some internal signs, but there was not much reaction yet. Moreover, Yin Tianguan's current ambition is to join the cabinet. For the time being, he is too lazy to be serious with Mu Wencai.
Wan'an, the first assistant, could not remove the Heavenly Official Yin Min, who was supported by the great scholar Liu Jue, but Yin Min, the Heavenly Official, could not remove Mu Wencai, a doctor in the Literature and Anthology Department who was supported by the first assistant... So a small-scale formation was formed within the official department.
A strange political balance has emerged.
As for Mu Wencai’s bad treatment of Fang Qingzhi that day, it was definitely not a whim or a bully because he was bored. There are two main reasons:
First, Mu Wencai was instructed by his chief minister Wan An to suppress the officials of the Prince of the East Palace faction. Fang Qingzhi, as an iconic figure, was naturally the one to bear the brunt. But he did not expect that Fang Yingwu would be so difficult to deal with, allowing the situation to develop.
Completely out of control.
Second, after Mu Wencai decided to join Wan Shoufu, he faced the declining Fang family, especially Fang Yingwu, whom he had become friends with because of his master. He had to subconsciously show deliberate coldness and alienation, symbolizing his break with the past.
This is how to please Wan Shoufu.
Therefore, Master Mu knew that there was only one correct answer to the question asked by Xiang Chengxian, which was to deny that it was related to Yin Shangshu and not to admit that Yin Shangshu instigated him. But what happened next?
Factual correctness and political correctness are two completely different things...
If he denies that he is related to Yin Shangshu, then there are only two consequences: First, he will bear all the responsibility and deny that anyone instigated him. Then he will face the crazy impeachment of the censor, coupled with the fueling of the evil people, his own
The position will be shaky, and even the first assistant may not be able to protect himself.
The second is that someone dug out his relationship with Wan Shoufu (this kind of thing cannot be hidden), and then it was believed that Wan Shoufu ordered him to persecute Zhongliang. In the end, Wan Shoufu was dragged into the water, and because of Wan Shoufu's temperament
You will definitely be angry at yourself for not doing things well and cause trouble.
As long as Mu Wencai is not crazy, he will know that he cannot afford the above two consequences. If he does not want these two consequences, then the only way is to follow Fang Yingwu's words and admit that he has suffered.
It was ordered by Yin Min, the Minister of Civil Service.
This is not the correct fact, but it is correct politics. For Mu Wencai, falsely accusing Yin Min is tantamount to letting Yin Min take the blame for Wan Shoufu, which allows Wan Shoufu to completely stay out of the matter and concentrate on
Support yourself with all your strength.
Secondly, for Wan Shoufu, he was very happy to see his political enemy Yin Min being bitten, and it would be easy to take advantage of the situation to attack Yin Min. Moreover, he might be able to remove Yin Min and take over the Ministry of Personnel as his own.
It is good for oneself and good for others. Which answer is really correct? Do you need to think too much? As for the evidence, there are accusations from the victim Fang family and personal admission by the executor Mu Wencai. What’s more, the Ming Dynasty allowed Ke Dao officials to hear what they said.
, isn’t this enough?
He didn't know how long he had been in a daze before Mu Wen closed his eyes and let out a long sigh and said, "What Fang Yingwu said is true. It was indeed Yin Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who gave instructions to me."
Needless to say, everyone in the officialdom knows that the scholar Liu Jue is a mortal enemy of the Fang family, and does the motive of Liu Jue's accomplice Yin Min in persecuting Fang Qingzhi still need to be explained?
The crowd fell silent immediately, everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, Mu Wencai actually directly admitted that he was ordered by Yin Min! Was it a sudden discovery of conscience?
Today, the censors came here to watch, just to see the result of the fight between two famous officials. They never expected that such a big fish would come out. That was the first official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs under the bachelor!
Some people can’t help but think of an official joke: There is nothing trivial involving the Fang family... But is it really just a joke? (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
