postscript

The Forbidden City pursues the darkness of night, and the jingyang bells ring with a faint sound. The gate of heaven is covered with orioles and trees, and the ecliptic is clear and the air is cold. The stars are far away outside the flowers, and the flags can only be seen in front of the battle. The courtiers want to enter the Yangchun song, and the Holy Lord has grace

Deep and difficult.

It was already the fifth year of Hongzhi's reign. Fang Yingwu climbed out of bed before dawn, because he had to go to court in the morning. As a close official of the emperor, it was impossible for him to skip work even if he wanted to.

Mrs. Fang Liu got up earlier than her husband, then changed her husband's clothes with her own hands, and served her husband breakfast, as usual for four years.

Fang Yingwu felt that it was too hard, and he advised his wife not to do this, and to sleep as much as possible. However, Mrs. Fang Liu still served her husband meticulously every day, and refused to take advantage of the servants.

Arriving at the vestibule, Fang Yingshi, one of the top three servants of the Fang family, had been waiting for a long time. Fang Yingwu ordered: "Let's fight next door again today."

Next door was Eunuch Wang's foreign residence, and the servants of the Fang family would have fights with the servants of Eunuch Wang's residence every now and then. They had to show some contradiction to others.

Fang Qingzhi has now been promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites because of his meritorious service in compiling historical records. In order to avoid suspicion, he had set off early and did not go to court with Fang Yingwu.

There were no words all the way. After entering the palace, Yingwu came to Fengtian Gate and stood on the east side of the throne. He closed his eyes and rested his mind, waiting for the emperor to come. Wang Zhi, the eunuch who was the director of etiquette, Bingbi, quietly came to Fang Yingwu and whispered: "Recently

The situation is not good.”

Fang Yingwu nodded, it was indeed the case, the situation has become tense again recently. It was advantageous for his grandfather Wang Shu to be upright and unkind, which caused a lot of complaints. He also had a bad relationship with Qiu Jun, the minister and scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and further developed a relationship with Xu Pu, the second assistant of the university scholar.

Turned face.

Old Taishan Liu Mianhua also knew that he had entered the last days of his political career, so he desperately wanted to regain his reputation. He ate hot tofu in a hurry, but was ridiculed by public opinion when scholars gathered in the capital during the Great Competition.

Then Liu Mianhua made a stupid move in order to retaliate against his failure in the examination. He asked anyone who failed the examination three times to be banned from taking the examination again. This suddenly stirred up a hornet's nest and put him under impeachment siege.

Moreover, Wang Shu and Liu Ji, one is seventy-six and the other is nearly seventy, and the government and the public are clamoring for them to serve in old age, making the situation precarious.

All in all, it was time to reshuffle the personnel of the imperial court again. What left Fang Yingwu scratching his head was that his father, Fang Qingzhi, had just become the Minister of Rites and had not accumulated enough qualifications. It was impossible for him to rejoin the cabinet immediately to take over, so this reshuffle was going to be big.

It's a loss; and the old man Ma Wen, who has no dealings with Eunuch Wang, is very likely to be promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

After thinking for a while, he said to Wang Zhi: "If it doesn't work, just endure it for a few years. Today, Xu Pu and the others are forcing my grandfather and father-in-law to use their old age. In a few years, if we follow the same pattern as the gourd, we can also use our age to force Xu Pu to become an official, and then send his father to work."

Pavilion!"

Wang Zhi sighed: "Five years ago, I thought we would just sit back and enjoy peace. Who would have expected that there would be another turmoil today."

Fang Yingwu smiled and said: "There will never be peace here. As long as you are still standing here, the storm will never stop. Unless you quit the temple and escape to the world."

Wang Zhi remembered something and said again: "Zhang Yong has been arranged to be with the prince."

Fang Yingwu said leisurely: "This Zhu Houzhao will not make people worry in the future."

Wang Zhi curled her lips and said: "Another secret that must not be leaked?" (To be continued ~^~)
