The wheel of history continues to roll forward, but Fang Yingwu doesn't have much pressure. He doesn't want to change the direction of the wheel, he just wants to earn as many benefits as possible.
Among the news from the imperial court, there was something that made Fang Yingwu very upset for a while. Dongchang appealed to the emperor and requested that the Dongchang Yamen be moved to the west city. Then the emperor happily complied with the request and moved it to the west city.
The building south of Lingji Palace (the former site of the West Factory) was allocated to the East Factory.
Whether in social interactions or as guests at elegant gatherings at Li Dongyang's residence, Fang Yingwu often heard others talking about this matter. In fact, Fang Yingwu had heard about this matter from Wang Zhi's mouth a long time ago. Now that it has come true, it is not that big of a deal.
News that surprised him.
But Fang Yingwu also heard from his disciples that the family next door to him suddenly moved out in a hurry yesterday, and the house next door was said to have been bought by Wang Zhi.
Thinking about the two things together, it is inevitable that Fang Yingwu would have some bad premonitions. Could it be that Eunuch Wang wanted to take advantage of the situation and place the foreign residence next to Fang's mansion when he had little strength to fight? This is not afraid of being attacked by others.
Doubt it?
Fang Yingwu sighed. The move from Dongcheng to Xicheng would cost the national treasury. Eunuch Wang simply used public tools for personal use. He did not hesitate to waste the country's money just to be closer to him. If he was still in power, he would definitely go to court.
Criticize me severely.
On this day, Fang Yingwu was invited by the test room master Li Dongyang to go to the elegant gathering. Since he became famous, Fang Yingwu has always liked to attend elegant gatherings where pure scholars talk nonsense, but now he has become
Once you are in civilian clothes, you have no excuse not to go.
As a leader in the literary and art circles, Mr. Li is known as a rich man in the capital, which is also his capital. The word "tu" is the soil of "land". The Li family not only has a mansion in the west city, but also has a villa in the northwest of the city. Today
The place where Fang Yingwu is rushing to.
When Fang Yingwu arrived, he saw that the courtyard was filled with flowers and fragrant peaches and plums. Li Dongyang was standing in the front yard to receive guests, and there were three or five people chatting around. The gathering had not officially started yet.
And when Li Dongyang heard the greeting from the greeter at the door, he looked up and saw Fang Yingwu entering the door majestically. It is said that the words "majestic and majestic" are not suitable to be used for literati, but at this moment Li Dongyang except
There are no other words to describe these words.
Because behind Fang Yingwu were trailing a dozen or so big men with big muscles, huge backs, and eagle-like eyes. In such a formation, no matter how weak a person is, he would appear to be arrogant and bold, especially in this elegant spring weather.
In the gathering atmosphere.
The host, Teacher Li, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He smiled bitterly and said, "What are you doing?"
After Fang Yingwu saluted, he smiled bitterly: "Recently, students have offended the powerful, so they have to be on guard like this."
"Let them wait in the front yard and don't go into the garden again." Li Dongyang ordered, and said calmly: "There are many servants inside, so they won't cause you any trouble."
Fang Yingwu agreed: "Yes, I will definitely not disturb the teacher's elegant mood!"
There was an old scholar in his fifties next to him who looked at Fang Yingwu a few times and asked with interest: "I heard that you and Wan Meizhou had a conflict in Fangsi Hutong the night before? I also heard that dozens of people fought.
, it’s very lively.”
When someone asked this question, others around him heard it and moved over quietly. The other party responded and formed a crowd to watch, their eyes filled with the blazing fire of gossip.
Fang Yingwu followed the sound and glanced over, and found out that he knew the person who asked the question. This person was an old man in the Hanlin Academy. His surname was Liu Mingzhen, and his official position should be that of a minister. He had met several times before. He also had a good relationship with his father.
However, it was rumored that Liu Shi was a very upright person, so why was he so interested in asking about the accident in his romantic field? Fang Yingwu was a little confused and then suddenly realized. It must be that he had a bad relationship with Wan An or disliked Wan An extremely.
Of course I would be happy to hear Wan An's embarrassed appearance.
Of course, Fang Yingwu would not let go of this opportunity to damage Wan'an's image and expose Wan'an's plot (but the effect was unknown). He cleared his throat, vividly, and selectively talked about the conflict with Wan'an that day.
.
"As the saying goes, in the past, I was drunk with beautiful people, but I hated the flowers that bloomed and fell; Sima Qingshan cried in the old days because the wind could not blow his pipa. But according to the younger generation, Wan'an and Kang Yongshao, the imperial eunuch, must have committed an affair.
What’s planned!”
Someone asked: "What's the plan?"
Fang Yingwu made a loud and clear conclusion: "It goes without saying that you want to confuse the foundation of our Ming Dynasty with the prophecy of the astrology! Maybe in these few days, those evil people will come up and fabricate heresies like the Ziwei astrology. Please, please
The emperor will change the East Palace!"
Everyone was silent. The final interpretation of things like astrology rests with the emperor. Whatever the emperor believes in, how can others stop him? However, Fang Yingwu doesn't expect others to say anything useful. He just needs to spread it.
When Li Dongyang saw this, he said: "Today's gathering, don't talk about state affairs, just go into the garden!"
At this moment, someone outside the gate shouted: "Brother Fang Xian! Brother Fang Xian!" Everyone turned to look, and many people recognized him. The person who came was Xiang Yushi, a rising star in science and technology who has been in the limelight in recent years. I heard that he was the same as Fang Yingwu.
Friendship is irreversible.
Xiang Chengxian panted and ran to Fang Yingwu and reported: "The Wan'an Qintian Prison is really unscrupulous, and your Majesty has openly discussed it with the court!"
Fang Yingwu smiled and said nothing, and replied calmly: "What's there to panic about? I had already predicted that Wan An and Kang Yongshao had evil intentions and would lie about the secrets of heaven."
"No." Xiang Chengxian was sweating profusely, "Wan'an went to the hospital and said that Mount Tai has been shaking continuously this year! And Kang Yongshao said that the earthquakes in Mount Tai should be in the East Palace. This is a warning to the East Palace for its immorality!"
What? Fang Yingwu was shocked. He was dumbfounded by this accident, and his mind even went blank for a brief period.
Isn't the Taishan earthquake a secret weapon that he plans to use against Wan'an? It is said that the news has not officially reached the capital yet, and no one dares to talk nonsense about it. Why was Wan'an the first to tell it?
Everyone was talking after hearing this. This news was more difficult than Fang Yingwu's prediction. Because the astrological prophecies could be fabricated, and we might be able to find the key points to fight back; but something as obvious as the Taishan earthquake could not be fabricated, and Wan'an was the first to take advantage of it.
It brings much more trouble than making up astrological predictions.
"Is the news about the earthquake in Mount Tai true? Why was it so sudden?"
"It shouldn't be false. It's easy to find out things this way. Who dares to fabricate it? But why is it that only Wan An knows about it first?"
"I remember, the Shandong Chief Envoy is Wan'an's confidant!"
"I see! Then Wan'an must know the important news from Shandong first!"
Fang Yingwu listened to the discussion in his ears, gradually came back to his senses, and forced himself to wake up. The wheel of history did not change its direction and continued to roll forward, but there were inevitably pebbles on the road. The worst situation for him was not to change the wheel of history.
It's heading towards, but overturning! (To be continued...)
ps: Suddenly I came up with a very exciting new idea, so I gave up the original chapter and spent two days scratching my head to come up with a new plot. The update will make it up! It’s still available today!
