After he was demoted and became a civilian, Fang Yingwu's life was quite leisurely. For a person like him, who is young and not worried about money, his influence is still there, and now he has no elders to discipline him at home, he is the best person to live a dandy's life.
opportunity.
However, Fang Yingwu did not settle down to be a playboy. Instead, he went out to visit other people every day. He went to visit all the people from the same hometown and age, and often visited several houses in a day.
It is said that Fang Yingwu usually pursues to burnish his own reputation and do his own thing. He is not very keen on socializing on the scene and carefully follows the principle of not taking the initiative and not refusing. But now after being dismissed from office, he is uncharacteristic and even enjoys it. Obviously
There is a reason for it.
Now the Fang family has fallen to an even lower level again. The head of the family has been demoted to another place. The future of the family has been reduced to ordinary people. The bound Prince of the East Palace is expected to be abolished soon.
From an official point of view, the Fang family and his son can no longer fight against the street, and there is almost no hope. But as the saying goes, gold is refined by fire, and Fang Yingwu felt that this was a good opportunity to test others' hearts.
Those who have had contact and friendship in the past and dare to treat themselves lightly at this time, no matter how good the friendship was before, can be blacklisted at this time. And relatives and friends who have passed the test can be trusted more and entrusted with important tasks in the future.
.
But what makes Fang Yingwu regretful is that after going around in a circle, no new people were added to the blacklist. Fang Yingwu couldn't help but sigh. He really is a discerning person. This is how people gather together, and birds of a feather flock together.
There are gentlemen when talking and laughing, but there are no villains when interacting.
Of course, a certain eunuch and a certain pavilion elder would not think so. They said in almost the same tone: "You think too much, mainly because the official and the mubu Lang Yinjian are in front. You have a reputation for being evil, who dares to give you any more
Face?" In addition, a certain pavilion boss stopped Fang Yingwu's performance art. He warned Fang Yingwu that his mentality was wrong and he was too impetuous.
That day, Fang Yingwu returned home in the afternoon. He saw Xiang Chengxian and Xiang Da Yushi wandering around in his concierge. When Xiang Chengxian saw Fang Yingwu coming back, he quickly shouted: "Where has Brother Fang Xian gone? I'm waiting here.
It’s been a long time!”
Fang Yingwu immediately lowered his face and scolded the doorman: "Brother Xiang is here as a guest. Why don't you invite him in to invite you to sit down? What's the point of blocking Brother Xiang in the concierge?"
Xiang Chengxian stepped forward and persuaded: "I don't blame the gate officer. I am anxious to see you and must wait here!" Fang Yingwu then asked: "What is your hurry? I asked you to be in such a hurry."
"It sounds like something serious is going to happen. Something is going to happen to Brother Hong!" Xiang Chengxian said hurriedly.
The Brother Hong mentioned by Xiang Chengxian naturally refers to Hong Song, the oldest member of the trio in Chun'an County. Fang Yingwu was puzzled. "I just met Brother Hong the day before yesterday. His head of household affairs is stable.
Steady, what’s going to happen?”
Xiang Chengxian replied: "Brother Hong is resentful of the darkness of the imperial court, and plans to submit a memorial! I can't persuade him, so I'm here to invite you! Please advise him to go and not to submit such a memorial to seek death!"
Fang Yingwu was slightly surprised. From Xiang Chengxian's tone, he could tell that if Hong Song's memorial was too intense, it would definitely make the emperor furious. The consequences were extremely unpredictable.
It is said that although Hong Song is the oldest among the three of them, he is the most upright one. He did not expect that he would come forward at this time. Fang Yingwu thought about it for a moment and did not agree with Hong Song taking this risk. Really?
Not necessary.
Xiang Chengxian told the situation, took Fang Yingwu and left. "I have an appointment with Brother Hong tonight for a drink. Come with me quickly!" Of course Fang Yingwu had to go. At least he had to understand Hong Song.
What exactly are you thinking?
The two of them arrived at the mansion where Hong Song lived together, and Xiang Chengxian knocked on the door and went in. The two of them went straight into the hall. They saw Hong Song sitting in his seat, looking at them with a wry smile and saying, "I knew you two would definitely want to."
Come."
Fang Yingwu asked: "I heard what Brother Xiang said, why are you doing this?"
"Why? Do you need a reason? Look at the temples today. All the princes are either waiting and waiting, or they are trying to flatter you. They are full of stupid and incompetent people. The country is like this and it is really hard to look at it!" Hong Song said angrily.
He was a Jinshi in the middle of last year, one subject later than Fang Yingwu and Xiang Chengxian, and it has only been exactly one year. This year, the court has been relatively quiet, and there have been few major events. But this time, Hong Song
It is not uncommon to feel sad and disappointed when you find that court officials are full of selfishness and indifference.
Hong Song became more and more excited as he spoke, "When Emperor Taizong Yu of this dynasty established the King of Han Dynasty, how were the officials? When the emperor wanted to abolish Jinshang, how were the officials? They all fought one after another, regardless of their wealth! But in the Chenghua Dynasty,
So what? There’s not even one person who can stand up and say something!”
Brother Hong could still be angry about the current court, and his blood was still cold. Fang Yingwu sighed: "The problem does not lie with the ministers, but with the emperor himself.
Since the 13th year of Chenghua, His Majesty favored Ning Xing, placed Wan'an in high regard, and rarely communicated with foreign ministers. However, the loyal and upright people were either dismissed or exiled, so the righteousness of the court is now low. Only among the people are there paper-thin three pavilion elders.
, the proverb of the Six Ministers of Clay Sculpture, if the old minister is like this, how can junior officials take the lead?"
Xiang Chengxian interjected: "Actually, there are other reasons. Now that Mao Hong has passed away, Academician Fang has gone to the prefectures and counties, and King Shu of Nanjing is beyond his reach. There are not many strong bones left in the court... We are not stupid, waiting for others
Fire the first shot and wait and see before deciding on your follow-up.”
It is conceivable that this first shot will definitely be strongly suppressed by His Majesty. Fang Yingwu just wrote a memorial to fight for a small part of the prince's political rights. It is not exactly that he hit the muzzle of the gun and was directly dismissed from office. So if
If someone dares to point it out directly, the consequences are hard to say.
Hong Song sighed. "This is a sad era! Although we are soft-spoken, we speak out when it is time to speak up. How can we let future generations say that this dynasty does not have a strong backbone!"
Fang Yingwu's story contains a pun: The floating clouds can never cover the sun, how can we ignore the direction of people's hearts? Maybe it only takes an opportunity to turn it around.
Xiang Chengxian advised Hong Song earnestly: "This matter is indeed dangerous. We can't just watch you fall into danger. First of all, those who talked about the country's origins in the previous chapters will be unlucky and will be regarded as killing chickens and horrifying people."
Monkey. The punishment will only be heavier than that of Fang Xiandi, not lighter than Fang Xiandi's, not to mention that your memorial is too intense.
Secondly, Shangshu is really short of income. Even if we can save the East Palace in the end, you are not a minister of the inner court, and the prince will not be able to reach you for the time being. Instead, you will be angered by the emperor!"
Hong Song pointed at Fang Yingwu and said: "I act with a clear conscience. Brother Fang Xian is also a well-known gentleman and has often come forward to criticize and admonish me. Will you think ahead and calculate so much, and then act based on gains and losses?"
After Fang Yingwu was silent for a moment, he sincerely replied: "Yes!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
