Chapter 720 Fang Zhonggong, who died in the society
"I heard that you suppressed your colleagues in the Imperial Palace and took the merits of others as your own, to the point of grinding to the top every year?"
"You are so slanderous!"
"I also heard that you loved your concubine very much, but you disliked your first wife so much that you sent her to a foreign house and divorced her in the name of having an affair? Why did you want to make your concubine your official wife so quickly? You are not picky at all.
ah!"
"Nonsense! How can someone in the court be so nonsense?! What is Ye Hou's intention to slander my reputation?!"
Ye An pointed to his nose and said, "Have I slandered you? These things are all well-documented..."
"Shut up!" Fang Zhonggong's expression changed and he shouted loudly.
Ye An looked at him with a smile: "Is this urgent?! Well, it seems that it is really... urgent?!"
Today's court meeting was an eye-opener for the civil and military officials. Ye An could actually throw out a series of words and silence the bright-tongued Prime Minister Fang Zhonggong.
Not only that, comparisons, sarcasm, insinuations, and disparaging words came out of his mouth in a barrage. Fang Zhonggong was so angry that his face turned blue, his lips turned white, and he was stunned and couldn't say a word.
From the way he behaved and did things, to the stupid things he did in the court, he listed them one by one, and even Fang Zhonggong's personal morality was not spared.
The Marquis of Yunzhong actually knew this very well and even criticized him for his neglect of his first wife at home. He was a ruthless and unjust person.
I don't know where he got the news. Anyway, the courtiers could tell from Fang Zhonggong's expression that it was true.
Scholar-officials also have their own moral standards. The first wife is the first wife. Even if you love the concubine, you cannot neglect the first wife, let alone divorce the concubine and put the concubine into the position of the first wife.
As a result, the courtiers looked at Fang Zhonggong with increasingly disgusted expressions. At this time, he regretted offending Ye An. He did not expect that his private affairs would be exposed by Ye An.
Zhao Zhen and Liu E, who were sitting on the throne, did not speak. They just watched quietly as Ye An revealed Fang Zhonggong's scandal. Liu E was surprised that Ye An's news was so comprehensive, but Zhao Zhen simply felt that it was "enjoyable"...
…
Under Ye An's "dimensionality reduction blow", Fang Zhonggong collapsed completely, shouted "thief" and prepared to rush forward to fight with Ye An.
Unfortunately, Ye An just said coldly: "Why, have I touched on your sore point?" He then stretched out his legs and dodged to throw away Fang Zhonggong who was coming towards him.
If the courtiers take action in front of the emperor, what kind of decency will there be in the temple!
Many courtiers were shocked, and Fang Zhonggong, who fell to the ground, "died" on the spot. His background was exposed in front of so many people, and Ye An was no match for him, so he could only pretend to hum on the ground.
Chirp.
Fortunately, this is not the first time that a civil servant of the Song Dynasty took action in front of the emperor. Liu E frowned behind the bead curtain and said: "Left and right Banzhi, please take the bow of the Prime Minister Fang Zhong out of the palace to rest! Ye Hou, don't cause trouble!"
Ye An didn't even dare, so he crossed his hands and asked Liu E and Zhao Zhen to plead guilty: "I should not expose Fang Zhongcheng in front of the emperor. This matter should be decided by the ministers under Zhongshu's sect."
Liu E snorted coldly and left, but even when she left, she didn't understand why Ye An, who was a peaceful person in the court, would attack Fang Zhonggong. Could it be because Fang Zhonggong opposed Ye An's tea brewing at the Southeast Teahouse?
Businessmen and tea farmers went to Beijing?
There is no such big hatred?!
She didn't know that the reason why Ye An attacked Fang Zhonggong in this way was because he deserved to be killed. Others may not feel much when mentioning this name, but for Ye An, a person who knows the history of the Song Dynasty, the most famous passage is when he went to
Shu Liu E asked him to "story after practicing martial arts"!
Such a person should be taken out and buried alive. I just gave him a small punishment and it was really an advantage to him.
Although it did not happen, Ye An believed that such a villain who was extremely opportunistic in politics would definitely do something that the literati would consider rebellious.
In Chen Tong's slightly excited "dismissal" sound, Ye An left the Chui Gong Hall, and Wang Zeng chased him out and pulled the long sleeves of Ye An's official uniform and said: "Chang Sheng, you are too reckless, how can you do it before the emperor?"
If you pull out other people's private parts like this, the official sage will probably think that your private morality is damaged!"
Ye An smiled: "This junior is young and energetic, so he didn't hold back for a while, but if the saint's official family knew what this person did, they would probably hate him. Chang Sheng heard from Mu Mu at home that Fang Zhonggong's wife was raped by him.
She was sent to another house, even her dowry was stolen. The servants even lived a better life than her. She was showing off in Lan Kwai Fong, but she felt disdain in her heart. Today she made such nonsense in the palace, and her blood suddenly surged, and she couldn't control it...
…”
Wang Zeng slightly relaxed his brows and said: "I have also heard about this matter. At that time, I just felt that there were rumors in the public. I never thought that my personal ethics could be so corrupted. But if you want to live forever, you still need to nourish your energy. Otherwise, how can the imperial court use you seriously?"
Ye An crossed his hands and saluted: "Thank you for your cultivation, Prince. It's just that Ye An's temper is like this. I'm afraid it's hard to control it. If he deliberately tolerates it, I'm afraid it's not Changsheng himself. It's possible that he will be regarded as hypocritical by the official saint. Such an act
It’s better to speak out loudly, as long as you can do things for the country, nothing is too much.”
"You kid, what you said makes sense. After all, you are young and vigorous, and you will get better as you get older. Hey! I have long known that you have great talent. Sooner or later, you will rise to prominence and become the Prime Minister of Xuanma!"
Faced with such praise from Wang Zeng, Ye An really didn't dare to take it seriously, but when he saw Lu Yi who kept looking away from him not far away, he knew Wang Zeng's intention.
Feeling helpless in his heart, he could only smile bitterly and say: "Ye An has no ability to intervene in the matter between the prince and Xianggong Lu. You two are both veterans of the court and are relied upon by the Tian family. Ye An is just a little guy.
Why should the prince value Ye An so highly?"
"Slippery! No wonder some people say you are a cunning rabbit in the court, but don't forget, the Wang family owns 10% of the shares in Puhui Company. Do you think you can stay out of it? In fact, you are not! Hahahaha...
"
After Wang Zeng finished speaking, he walked away with a square step and a smile, causing Lu Yijian to look at Ye An again and speculate.
Ye An couldn't bear that look, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only bow awkwardly from a distance, show respect and then leave as if running away, cursing Wang Zeng, an old fox, in his heart.
Nowadays, the court is really full of gunpowder. From the abolition of the shooting method, we can see how far the conflict between Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng has reached.
Even Xue Kui could see something, couldn't Lu Yijian see it? Obviously impossible! He only helped Sun Shi to oppose Wang Zeng, and of course he also had the purpose of winning over Sun Shi.
When one day something happens in the court because of opposition, that is the beginning of the party struggle.
Once party strife occurs, the country's administrative opportunities will fall into an abyss. This does not depend on the era. On the contrary, as long as politics exists in the era, party strife will be an eternal evil.
Only a unified court and unified administration can consolidate power and allow the country and dynasty to go further. Ye An, as a person who has experienced this, has a profound understanding of this.
After leaving Chui Gong Hall, Ye An did not leave directly through Donghua Gate. Instead, he chose to go to Chongwen Court through Zuoyintai Gate. This is the "Royal Library" of the Song Dynasty, which contains the collections of Taizu, Taizong,
The books collected by the three generations of emperors of Zhenzong, as well as various "administrative orders" such as edicts, edicts, orders, regulations, and edicts issued by them.
And these things are what Ye An said is needed. Of course, there are also detailed descriptions of the refraction method, the cross-reference method, and the pasting method. Not only are there detailed descriptions, there are even records of the causes and consequences. It can be said to be extremely detailed. At this point,
Ye An had to admire the civil servants of the Song Dynasty. They were cautious and detailed beyond this era.
