Chapter six hundred and sixty-ninth hot stove and cold stove
In the spring of the 21st year of Chenghua, there was a very restless atmosphere inside and outside the palace, and everywhere in the court.
Above the temple, the four most powerful people among the civil servants, that is, the elders of the Three Pavilions and the official Yitian, started a fierce fight. This incident alone could sweep half of the courtiers into it.
This melee was caused by the celebrity Fang Yingwu. Although Fang Yingwu's tactics were extremely clever and he safeguarded the interests of the Fang family in an extremely unfavorable situation, it caused chaos among the top brass of the imperial court.
The root cause of such turmoil is both the competition for real interests and the accumulation and outbreak of conflicts over many years. Fang Yingwu just acted as a trigger for trying to fish in troubled waters.
The last time a turbulent situation of this level occurred was eight years ago, which was the thirteenth year of Chenghua. It was also the year when Fang Yingwu traveled through time. At that time, the young monster Wang Zhi was born.
With the emperor's acquiescence, he used the simplest and crudest tactics to defeat the civil servants one after another. In just one year, half of the officials in the court were replaced.
Since then, the basic structure of the imperial court has stabilized and has been maintained to this day. There may have been some struggles during this period, but it did not affect the overall structure.
It was also from the 13th year of Chenghua that the emperor got rid of the constraints of the older generation of ministers and realized control of the court. Of course, it was also from the 13th year of Chenghua that the trend took a turn for the worse, and only then did the paper paste three
Ge Lao, the irony of clay sculpture Liu Shangshu.
Eight years have passed, and the imperial court will experience periodic and fateful turmoil again, not only in the imperial court, but also in the palace! The eunuch Huaien, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial department, was dismissed and sent to Fengyang, which will definitely trigger a chain reaction.
To attract the attention of courtiers.
Although they are not allowed to interact with each other internally or externally, in fact the relationship between courtiers and eunuchs is still very close. For courtiers, if their acquaintances are in power, it is equivalent to having a strong alliance in the palace.
The significance is self-evident.
Then the first question arises. Among the current eunuchs who are responsible for the ceremony, who will take over the position of the eunuch? Is it Qin Chang, whom the emperor trusts, or Chen Zhun and Xiao Jing, who are more senior? There is also a second question, which is the eunuch who is the eunuch?
There is a vacancy among the ceremonial supervisors and eunuchs, who can fill it?
If in the first question, whoever replaces the eunuch in charge of the palm print can be understood and convinced, then the second question is more speechless. There is a convention that eunuchs who are responsible for the ceremony must come from the inner study hall.
, received elite education since childhood, and when faced with the senior ministers of the cabinet, he did not lose any points in terms of cultural level.
Currently, apart from the eunuchs who are responsible for the ceremony, the two most powerful and influential eunuchs are Wang Zhi and Liang Fang, so these two are the most popular candidates for the eunuch.
The cultural level of Wang Zhi and Liang Fang can only make people laugh. Everyone knows that these two people are models of uneducated and unskilled... One started his career by being a spy and earning military exploits. The other
They are not the cultured type of eunuchs who started out by flattering, eating, drinking and having fun.
It can be seen from this that under the current emperor's rule, the palace is in chaos and lethargy. The only people who can stand out are such non-mainstream figures.
Of course, when it comes to the agitation in the entire court, the most sensitive issue of the East Palace is indispensable. At present, the prince's dethronement is almost an open secret. Even the ministers Fu Que's remonstrances and the eunuch Huai'en's struggle have no effect.
, who else can prevent the prince from being deposed?
The only question is when and on what occasion the emperor will make the announcement. How will the courtiers face this situation?
As we all know, the problem of the East Palace is not just a problem for the prince alone. It is also a problem for the entire court, especially a big problem for the Hanlin Ci officials.
Although Hanlin bachelors are relatively disciplined and pay attention to image and respectability, and will not do things that flatter others and add insult to injury, and they will not throw away the prince now without asking, but everyone can't stand a little selfishness.
If the crown prince is replaced, then the ministers and subordinates of the East Palace will definitely have to be replaced. Now they are Xu Pu, Qiu Jun, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, including Fang Qingzhi who has been demoted, and then there will be another group in the future
Someone else takes over!
Any Hanlin poet who is currently in a state of "frustrated" will be excited when thinking of such an opportunity, and his heart will inevitably beat Xiao Jiujiu. Therefore, there is also a strange atmosphere in the Hanlin Academy, which has always been known as aloof and aloof.
All in all, the imperial court is full of restlessness before the reshuffle. Among the middle and high-level officials above the fifth rank, I don't know how many people can work calmly.
If we want to select a calm star, Fang Yingwu must have a high probability of being selected. There is no one more calm than him in the government today.
His purpose is nothing more than two points, one is to protect himself, and the other is to let his father suffer as little as possible. Both of these points have been achieved so far. The Fang family's limelight stage is over, what else can't be calmed down?
Therefore, after sending his father away, Fang Yingwu spent most of his time at home and did not see outsiders. However, this does not mean that Fang Yingwu was not informed. On the contrary, Fang Yingwu was better than 99% of people.
They all know a lot, and the various Dongchang ears and eyes are not just decorations.
Wang Zhi turned over and looked at the summary of the news, and said to the other party: "In order to consolidate the foundation for the future, Concubine Shao Chen secretly wins over celebrities in Zhejiang. Do you want me to match you? In fact, she has a good impression of loyal people like you Fang family."
"No need!" Fang Yingwu refused without thinking.
Concubine Shao Chen is the biological mother of the candidate for the crown prince Zhu Youqi. If the East Palace is deposed and Zhu Youqi is replaced as the crown prince, then Concubine Shao Chen will be more valuable than her son. Moreover, Concubine Shao Chen is from Zhejiang, so it is fair to say that it is Fang Yingwu.
Fellow people from this province.
However, Fang Yingwu thought of something again and suggested, "How about you help Xie Qian? Xie Qian is also from Zhejiang."
Wang Zhi smiled knowingly, "You are so sinister. Aren't you setting a hook for Bachelor Xie... But don't play with fire and make the fake come true. If the prince really changes, Xie Qian will befriend him again."
Now, you can’t even cry anymore.”
Wang Zhi then continued to look through the news summary, "Li Dongyang wants to take leave and return to his ancestral home in Chaling to find his roots and inquire about his ancestors." According to Fang Yingwu's request, the news reported by Wang Zhi mainly focused on the range of Hanlin Ci officials.
Fang Yingwu shook his head when he heard this. Looking at this, Teacher Li must be disheartened and dejected...
It is said that although Li Dongyang's ancestral home is Chaling, Huguang, he has lived in the capital since his grandfather. Li Dongyang is considered a native of the capital in his generation. Li Dongyang himself has never returned to his ancestral home. Now he suddenly wants to take leave to return to his ancestral home. Of course Fang Yingwu
It can be seen that it must be a sign of depression.
Li Dongyang was originally nicknamed Li Shiba because he had been sitting on the bench for almost eighteen years in the Hanlin Academy. He finally joined the East Palace attendant class with Fang Qingzhi a few years ago and embarked on the golden road. After all the hardships, he finally survived.
There is a bright future ahead.
Unexpectedly, the situation was changing again and the prince was in danger. He saw his future was ruined again, and he was disappointed again after regaining hope. You can imagine the heavy blow of this kind of blow.
Fang Yingwu stretched himself, stood up and said, "The cold stove must be burned, so I'm going to visit the teacher today."
Maybe some people can see that the prince is Leng Zao, and maybe some people think that the Fang family and his son are Leng Zao, but who knows that Li Dongyang is also Leng Zao? (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
