Chapter seven hundred and twentieth after the court meeting
After the court meeting related to the future and destiny of the Ming Dynasty, there was a lot of discussion between the government and the public, but not many people expressed their stance clearly. The more senior officials were, the more reluctant they were to express their position, just like at the court meeting, the big shots kept silent.
Tell a truth.
In the court discussion, the party advocating the establishment of another prince had all the advantages and gained no advantage. This was considered a failure in itself. However, the court officials all understood that the court discussion was just for both sides to express their opinions, and the final result still depended on the emperor.
the final decision.
Although everyone felt that the remarks made by Fang Yingwu through Xiang Chengxian were very reasonable and in line with the emperor's mentality, after all, no one was sure that the emperor would definitely adopt them.
Under normal circumstances, maintaining the status quo and continuing to wait and see is most in line with the emperor's hesitant and hesitant character. That is equivalent to temporarily retaining the position of prince. However, what if the emperor suddenly becomes arrogant and arrogant without fear of ghosts and gods?
It was not until three days later that the emperor issued an edict to restart the Sutra Banquet in the East Palace and let the officials of the Fang Bureau start teaching the prince. Then the chief rites supervisor sent the general's memorials to the East Palace for the prince to study.
Just like the banquet in the East Palace a while ago, these actions are also obvious signals, but they are the opposite signals to those a while ago. A fool can analyze from these signs that the emperor has temporarily given up on the idea of establishing another prince, and really wants to maintain the status quo.
.
The news spread, triggering cheers from the righteous people. The successive disasters and celestial phenomena finally frightened the emperor. The Ming Dynasty was lucky, the country was lucky, and the future was full of hope. The evil forces represented by Wan'an finally had the possibility of defeat.
!
The crown prince was saved, and the prestige of Wan'an, the chief minister who advocated the establishment of another crown prince, plummeted, as if he had gone from being a person respected by everyone to becoming a less terrifying person overnight.
The reason is simple. If you offend Wan An, you may never be able to make a comeback; but if you offend Wan An now, the worst he can do is go out and hide for a few years. When the new emperor ascends the throne, his day will come.
Of course, for ordinary people in the capital, the idea is not that complicated. There are countless stories in storytelling about wise and loyal people defeating treacherous officials, such as Kou Zhun defeating Pan Renmei. And this time is probably a scene that was staged in reality. As the saying goes
Art comes from life.
The protagonist of the story, Fang Yingwu, once again thanked guests behind closed doors, quite a bit of a "hidden merit and fame" sentiment. In fact, people who are familiar with him know that Fang Yingwu is shrinking and defensive, and the chief assistant wishes he could put you in this situation.
Who dares to ignore this situation?
It happened to be at this time that Wan Shoufu celebrated his seventieth birthday. Seventy years of life are rare, and it stands to reason that such a life span must be planned with great care. However, Wan Shoufu was very low-key and only invited a few die-hards.
Even the ordinary disciples politely declined the visit of his close confidants, let alone other courtiers with whom he had ordinary friendships.
The reason for this is that on the one hand, Wan Shoufu has no face to do something big, and on the other hand, he doesn't have the confidence to do something big. Now the trend of decline is obvious. It would be even more embarrassing if someone celebrates a birthday with great fanfare but is treated lightly by others.
Even if there are only confidants, the number is not too small. Ten years of being the chief minister is not for nothing. When the guests have dispersed, the prosperity has faded, and the moon is rising, only a few of the first ministers are left chatting in the study.
He is a true confidant.
"At this point, I only want to ask one thing. How do you manage Fang Yingwu? Why do you want to teach me?" Wan An said unsubtlely, there are all close people here. Wan Shoufu really doesn't need to be euphemistic.
The others looked at each other in confusion, as all politicians know. It is very irrational to blindly treat people and things like this, and no calm politician would do this.
But everyone is very understanding. No one can bear it when they meet someone like Fang Yingwu. Master Wan Lao can endure it until today, which is far beyond ordinary people. If he can endure it any longer, he will be a thousand-year-old bastard.
It's been a turtle for thousands of years...
Gao Changjiang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, spoke first: "I have an idea. I would like to hear it. That Fang Yingwu transformed into a scribe of Dongchang in the name of Wanping County instead of Chun'an County. There is a lot in this."
It can be said that Wanping County's approach is not necessarily reasonable.
Since Fang Yingwu is willing to make a pretense of serving in the army, then we will help him. On the one hand, we ask Shuntian Prefecture to cancel this recruitment, and on the other hand, we quickly send a document to Zhejiang and let the provincial and county governments recruit Fang Yingwu again at any level.
The servants of the Ministry of Works are scribes. Once Fang Yingwu has entered the Directory of the Ministry of Works and is under the control of the subordinate officials, are you afraid that there will be no chance to rectify it? "
"Good!" Wan An praised the case. Gao Shilang's proposal is technically very feasible. Every year, local people are recruited to serve in the construction of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhejiang can arrange Fang Yingwu to come in. As long as Fang Yingwu comes in
Now that they are on the list of the Ministry of Industry, they are not left to their own devices.
Gao Shilang received praise from the old chief assistant, and he was quite proud of it. When the military department saw this, Zhang Shanji also rushed to offer advice: "I have another plan. After Fang Yingwu was dismissed, he jumped out to cover the rain."
Fan Yun, although he has gained something through cunning, the emperor may not necessarily appreciate his behavior, and may even be bored with it. Success in doing things and success in life are two different things.
After the official contacted several people in Kedao, he was impeached and Fang Yingwu was dismissed from office. He was resentful and did not hesitate to cause trouble for his own selfish interests. He must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others.
In addition, you can also find someone in the palace to advise, saying that Fang Yingwu is looking forward to the return of His Majesty Long Yu day and night, and then he will be rewarded again by virtue of his merits as a dragon. It is difficult for Your Majesty not to mind!"
Wan An cheered again: "Very good!" If Gao Shilang showed technical means, then Zhang Shanji's proposal was a heart-breaking attack, directly exploiting the weakness of people's hearts and directly arousing the emperor's resentment towards the opponent.
Just like a brainstorm, there were one, two, and three immediately. Someone else offered advice: "Although I don't know why Wang Zhi brought Fang Yingwu into the Dongchao room, there must be something wrong with it. And Fang Yingwu devoted himself to Dongchao."
A factory is like having an extra talisman to prevent others from rectifying it.
Anyway, Wan Niangniang's good deeds have been ruined this time. Sir, you might as well tell the matter to Wan Niangniang and see how Wan Niangniang treats Wang Zhi. Maybe Wang Zhi will not keep Fang Yingwu in Dongchang anymore, or maybe Wang Zhi is influenced by Wan Niangniang.
Punishment, thereby venting anger on Fang Yingwu. In any case, this is an act of drawing fuel from the bottom of the cauldron."
Wan Shoufu also fully affirmed this, "Yes! All items can be done without conflicting with each other!"
At this time, a few sneers suddenly came from the end of the seat. Gao Changjiang turned his head and looked around. It turned out to be Song Min, the minister of Dali Temple, and asked: "Why is Song Tingwei laughing?"
Song Min shook his head and sighed: "I laugh at you for talking about plots to harm people behind your back. They are full of tricks. But why did you feel so helpless when you met Fang Yingwu in the temple and argued with him about important matters?"
Everyone at the table looked at each other, speechless. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
