A few days passed by in a flash, and it was time for the morning court again. The court ceremony was proceeding step by step, but many people were secretly paying attention to Liu Mianhua. Because everyone knew that Liu Mianhua could not end up just after the last quarrel for his son-in-law.
, there must be an explanation, whether it is good or bad.
There are even some relatives who stay out of the matter and watch the excitement without fear of big trouble. Let's make a bet. Guess whether Cifu will be the first to attack today, or whether he will stay calm until the end like last time? I guess it is still the case.
Finally", "Okay, whoever loses will have a banquet at Fangsi Alley tonight"!
But what everyone didn't expect was that Liu Mianhua was quiet and without any abnormality. He didn't make any move until the end of the court. He had no aura like the last time when he roared about the lack of etiquette in front of the court. The two bettors looked at each other.
, who wins?
Originally, the emperor thought of a lot of words today to cope with Liu Cifu's continued pursuit of explanations, but it was of no use at all. So the emperor hurriedly dismissed the court and returned to the palace to avoid being entangled by Liu Mianhua again.
When the courtiers dispersed, they formed a loose circle around Liu Mianhua. They all wanted to explore what Mr. Cifu was thinking. Some people couldn't help but asked: "Why is Mr. Liu so silent today?"
Liu Mianhua sighed and said solemnly: "Fang Yingwu has already planned to become a monk!"
What? The people around almost thought they heard it wrong. It had to be said that Fang Yingwu shocked the courtiers again. However, when everyone saw that others had the same expression, they were sure that they heard it correctly.
But how could Fang Yingwu become a monk? Regardless of whether he is a monk or a Taoist priest, becoming a monk means being born into the world. And judging from Fang Yingwu's behavior, he has always been a very active person in the world and has nothing to do with becoming a monk!
Although Fang Yingwu does not have a high official rank, his current weight is not light. He even has the function of a weathervane. This is due to the reputation accumulated one after another and the status brought by his numerous connections.
Besides, someone who can provoke the chief minister of the government to deal with him at all costs. Who can just treat him as an ordinary middle- and low-level bureaucrat? Therefore, Fang Yingwu’s decision to become a monk is not only his personal choice, but also a political symbol to some extent.
.How can it not cause shock?
After receiving Wan An's look, another cabinet minister, Peng Hua, came forward and asked: "Why do you want to become a monk?" This was also a question that everyone wanted to ask, and it was considered popular for Mr. Peng to ask it.
Liu Mianhua replied: "Fang Yingwu was heartbroken when he heard that none of the gentlemen came out to speak for him at the last court meeting!"
Peng Hua was stunned, and then said: "This is too far-fetched..."
In fact, Peng Hua had a subtext that he didn't say clearly - Judging from Fang Yingwu's performance in the court in the past few years, even if he is not tough-minded, his mental endurance must be very strong. How could he be hit like this? If this is the case
If just a small thing can make Fang Yingwu become a monk out of frustration, then he has already broken through the threshold of the temple!
Besides, when other people encounter such unclear things, it is normal for them to choose to protect themselves for the time being. If you can't even see through this, why are you still in the temple?
Liu Mianhua glanced at the people around him and found that they were all waiting for him to continue to answer. Then he answered again: "Originally, Fang Yingwu had no intention of becoming a monk, but he later heard that although the gentlemen did not come forward, they
Li Tongzheng stood up to support him. He said angrily that although the world is like this, even if you can't imitate Xu You and wash your ears, then you can become a monk!"
Liu Mianmian's words were unclear, and he especially did not explain the logical relationship clearly. He spoke very cryptically. But these people around him are all people who hang out in temples. Who needs explanation from others to understand the meaning?
Looking back on what happened, first Liu Mianhua was "desperate" and asked Qingliu, represented by Xu Pu and Xu Xu, to come forward and speak for Fang Yingwu, but Xu Xu declined.
This was nothing. Then Li Zisheng, a scumbag who had infiltrated the civil service ranks, stood up and generously offered advice to save Fang Yingwu. This shocked everyone.
I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now I compare the two sides again, Xu Xueshi and Li Zisheng. The meaning is self-evident. Fang Yingwu said "this is the way of the world", obviously referring to Sang scolding Huai!
When these so-called honest men encounter problems, they don't care about themselves or their family views, but they refuse to stand up for justice. However, Li Zisheng and others behave justice and generously. This is what Fang Yingwu said, "This is how the world is."
, wouldn’t it imply that Xu Xueshi and this group of clean successors are worse than even the recognized evil villains!
There is another sentence at the end: "Although we cannot imitate Xu You in washing his ears", what does this mean? We are familiar with Xu You's allusions to washing his ears. The key lies in what Fang Yingwu wants to express through it?
Obviously, what Fang Yingwu wanted to express was a sense of shame! He felt ashamed of this world! He felt ashamed of this world where black and white were reversed! What happened to this society? So Fang Yingwu wanted to become a monk in despair. Then the point comes again,
Who made Fang Yingwu feel ashamed?
It goes without saying that at this time, many people secretly glanced at Xu Xu, who was not far away. Unfortunately, they were hacked without any precautions.
To use a fashionable saying in the 21st century, Xu Xueshi's heart was like ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past, and he was hit by an arrow even while he was lying down! This time Wan An and Fang Yingwu were fighting each other, and he was just a spectator at best.
He had never used the Taiping Fist, but unexpectedly, he was suddenly slapped with a sap by Fang Yingwu!
At that time, Xu Xueshi also felt that if Fang Yingwu really asked Li Zisheng to speak for him, it would be like seeking medical treatment in a hurry, and it would be easy for Li Zisheng's reputation to be implicated.
Only now did he understand that this was not a case of seeking medical attention in a hurry, but a deliberate attempt to disgust himself. Li Zisheng's "action" was reflected in his own inaction!
Dare Liu Mianmian made a scene and made a scene, but Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was actually aimed at Pei Gong, so he played the role of Pei Gong! It's funny that at that time, he thought that he could avoid the trap as long as he didn't take the move. Who knew that the biggest trap would be behind it?
!
The onlookers were whispering, and someone asked the senior: "Xu Xueshi is also an old man in the court, how could he be fooled so casually? This trap seems so simple, how could he not see through it?"
The old man who was asked sighed and said: "This is not determined by Xu Xueshi's character or wisdom, but by his position. As the saying goes, the butt determines the head.
Xu Xueshi and others are known as the cabinet successor party. Of course, what they want is stability, and they are waiting for the succession. They are not willing to take any risks. Therefore, no matter who they are, as long as they are in Xu Xueshi's position, they must take the most conservative approach at that time.
method.
In other words, as long as they still have some political rationality, they cannot take risks for Fang Yingwu and openly challenge the emperor, Wan Guifei, and the chief minister at the same time. Fang Yingwu targeted and attacked because of this psychological knot. As for Fang Yingwu
Why the sudden attack? Do you need a reason?" (To be continued)
