Although Xu Zhenqing is just an insignificant person, ordinary officials can not take this young man who has just passed the second-class high school to heart, but the big bosses have to consider how the emperor noticed such a person in the recommendation papers for the imperial examination.
The emperor suddenly adjusted the paper himself, and after reading it, he praised it and praised it. This was something that only the big guys who were the paper readers of the palace examination knew well. Therefore, an introduction suddenly appeared from his story.
, and then all the fingers were pointed at Jiao Fang, and even Zhang Sheng added fuel to the flames. When the news reached the ears of the three elders in the cabinet, the three people had different reactions.
Liu Jian and Xie Qian had always been at odds with Jiao Fang, so they were naturally happy to see him become the target of public criticism.
He and Jiao Fang were in the same year of examination. Although they were not close friends, it was inevitable for them to take care of each other. As far as he knew, Liu Daxia, who was of the same year, also had a crush on Ma Wensheng even though he was already over 60 years old.
I'm quite annoyed that there is no room for the seat. Speaking of which, the Jiashen subject in Tianshun's eighth year can be considered to be full of talents. Fu Han is dead, and he, Liu Daxia, Yue Gui, Dai Shan, Jiao Fang... If this was Fu Han,
Han was still there, and Jiao Fang took up Ma Wensheng's seat. Five of the seven ministers actually occupied the seats, and six of the ten members of the Cabinet and Ministry Yuan occupied it.
Not to mention Shangshu Wang Shi and so on.
There are always some sympathies between people in the same year. He always echoed his disdainful attitude toward Jiao Fang in front of Liu Jian and Xie Qian, but he still had quite a relationship with Jiao Fang, even Liu Daxia. As for Jiao Fang, he repeatedly criticized Ma Wensheng.
He took Dai Shan with him because Dai Shan was stubborn and often ignored the love he had for the same year.
So, when, as the second assistant, he rummaged through the pile of memorials transferred from the Supervisor of Rites and received a request to Jiao Fang, the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, his heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
Sure enough, it’s here!
While Xu Zhenqing was making a big splash, he never mentioned the quarrel between himself and Jiao Huangzhong, but Xu Xun secretly used some tricks on those rogues. How could they endure the pain of the shackles? Naturally, he would be relieved of his sentence.
He screamed injustice at the gate of the Tianfu Yamen, and kept saying that he was instigated by a certain official in the court and committed the crime in a moment of confusion.
As a result, what happened in the restaurant on Gongyuan Street was quickly uncovered by someone who was interested. Although Xu Zhenqing kept silent when anyone asked him, the officials of the Department of Science and Technology took the opportunity and did not care whether there was any evidence or not, and just participated directly.
He said, therefore, just as the leader Xu Xun became the target of public criticism, memorials to impeach Jiao Fang were also piled up in the General Affairs Department, and then they were transferred from the General Affairs Department to the Secretary of Liturgical Supervisor, and from the Secretary of Liturgical Supervisor to the Cabinet.
As an important minister, Jiao Fang received much more attention than Xu Xun. He even had several censors who were close to him or signed a letter on the matter. The superiors ranged from incompetent to cunning and sycophantic. In short, they all scolded him.
Ma Wensheng, who was always known for taking care of his subordinates, only gave a few symbolic excuses this time and then reported illness at home. For a while, Jiao Fang had to take care of the staff and was distracted by arguing with Zhang Sheng.
He still had to deal with the endless whizzing and flying knives, which was too much for him no matter how good his health was.
By the end of March, the final list of thirty people selected by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials and the Hanlin Academy was announced. He could not defeat Zhang Sheng and Liu Ji alone. Xu Zhenqing was among them. Jiao Fang was so angry that he simply gave up his job and rested at home.
Then, in a moment of anger, he even picked up a pen and wrote a document asking for employment. He only held such a thing that he had received once before, but his face was extremely complicated.
From the time when he was in the middle of burnt yellow, he was unexpectedly in the rankings, to now he is being attacked by a group of people. This is far different from the result where he suffered a setback in the first place, but received a lot of rewards!
"Sir, Di Ju is asking for a meeting." "No!" Jiao Fang, who was impatient at first, blurted out, but every so often, the voice from outside rang again: "Sir, since you have something troublesome to do now, why don't you listen to it?
Lao Sheng's personal opinion? Although it may not be useful, it may be refreshing to the old man? The old man is in the light and the enemy is in the dark. The situation is getting more and more dangerous. Could it be that the old man intends to continue to resist passively like this?" Jiao Fang was furious.
, but when he heard the sentence "The enemy is in darkness, we are in the dark," he couldn't help but feel his heart move. After thinking for a long time, he ordered the people to come in. When the people entered the room and bowed deeply, he slightly gestured for the people to sit down, and then said lightly:
"You and Dalang have known each other for some time. I left you here. I think you also know the reason. You are the only one in my house, so what dangers do you know?"
Although the people above and below are cautious in front of you, they often talk and laugh when they turn around, and now they almost have to tiptoe when walking. Besides, Brother Jiao has been depressed for days, and he often comes to me to complain, so
Late students naturally know a thing or two." Di Luo has been restrained and unable to move these days. Today he finally persuaded Jiao Huangzhong to help him enter Jiao Fang's study. Naturally, he knew the essence of striking while the iron is hot, so he immediately said, "Sir, don't you?
Do you think that from the time Xu Zhenqing was injured to now that you are being impeached, each step is like a chess game?"
One link after another?
Jiao Fang could only think about those big bosses who were killing them all, and the censors who charged into the battle under their command. Now when he thought carefully about Di Luo's words, he couldn't help but taste a little bit. After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said
: "According to what you said, Xu Zhenqing insulted Dalang, and then he was beaten and had his hand broken. Someone planned all this?" "Wansheng is just guessing. How can a mere official in Wansheng know about these important court events?"
There are many, but the number may be very large. To put it bluntly, Mr. Jiao’s essays for the current examination were as brilliant as a splendid one, and he once received a letter from the emperor. Logically speaking, he should not have failed.
If there is something fishy about the matter, it will be even more difficult to predict what will happen next."
Jiao Fang only regarded the subsequent series of activities as someone adding fuel to the flames, but think about it, Li Rong and Wang Yuecai were disgraced when they met Xu Zhenqing, and the host of the gambling drama in front of Gongyuan Street during the examination examination is still there to this day.
There was no result, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel that the middle-aged man in front of him had some intelligence, so he immediately raised his head and asked: "Then what do you think I should do now?
"Do you know anyone in the palace?" After Di Luo asked, he saw that Jiao Fang's face was a little stiff. He was well-informed and immediately understood that Bing Bi, the chief ritual officer in the White House, might be in some trouble.
, immediately lowered his head and said respectfully, "Of course the best way is to blow wind in the emperor's ear, but if that doesn't work, you might as well retreat and do the next best thing. Although becoming an official at this time is to retreat in order to advance, but if the emperor is not in a good mood,
It is inevitable that it will be self-defeating. I heard Mr. Jiao said that Mr. Ma reported illness at home, and Mr. Ma took care of it independently. He also reported illness today, but after all, he was suspected of being angry. It would be better to encourage the staff to take care of him even though he was sick. In the eyes of everyone, one of them took advantage of the illness to hide.
One of them is the minister of affairs, but one is leading the troops and managing the affairs of the Yamen when he falls ill. Comparing the two sides."
"Then it's natural to judge!" Jiao Fang's eyes widened for a moment, and she wanted to express some praise. However, considering that the details of this person had not been revealed yet, she could not trust him too much, so she said lightly, "Yaro does indeed have some eyesight."
, You're pretty good. Since you didn't take the exam this time, you can simply stay at my house and stay with Dalang to study and take the exam together.,,
"Thank you, old man!"
Di Luo immediately bowed deeply, and the big stone in his heart finally fell. With these words, he was not under house arrest by Jiao Fang in Jiao Mansion, but a real guest. It would be much easier to make further remarks and so on later. Only now
As he was leaving, he said softly: "Sir, if you are interested, Wansheng has some friendship with Mr. Liu from Taiyuan Hospital, and we can draw a line from him...
"Oh?" Jiao Fang, who was waiting to retreat, suddenly felt something in her heart and asked quickly, "Liu Wentai is a medical officer, but you are a civil servant. How do you two have any friendship?"
"The good old man learned that Wan Sheng's ancestral home is Henan, but he lives in Shangrao, Jiangxi, so Liu Wentai and Wan Sheng are half the same hometown." When walking out of the study, I thought of Jifang's face from the initial coldness to the later politeness, and then to
Although Di Luo didn't show off his last amiability on the face, he really despised this ability to change faces in his heart.
Seeing Zhu Huang Zhong, who was just pacing in the yard, suddenly look over and then quickly meet him, he showed a confident smile.
"Brother Di, this matter..." "I've given you my absolute assurance, so how can I not count it out? The old man has calmed down, and he will not be in trouble next time!"
…………,………,……………………,………,………,………,………,………,
When the list of Hanlin Shujishi was announced, the two senior Hanlin officials who were ordained to be responsible for teaching at the same time were extraordinary. They were actually Zhang Yuanzhen, the minister of Taichang Temple and the chief scholar of the Hanlin Academy, who was the examiner of the current examination, and Liu Liu, the chief scholar of the Hanlin Academy.
Opportunity. Between the teachers and students who took the exam, plus the teachers and students who stayed in the school for three years, everyone envied Zhang Yuanzhen, who suddenly had thirty of the most die-hard disciples and paid attention to the battle of inverted focus.
As a result, people were a little relieved. So, when Jiao Fang participated in all the court meetings and ministry meetings as if nothing had happened, this turbulent memorial offensive turned into a protracted war, until one day in mid-April, the New Year's Eve
Jiao Shilang, who was in his seventies, slipped from his chair and fainted during a ministry meeting with the Department of Literature and Selection to recommend officials.
Jiao Fang suddenly fell into the yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which naturally caused a chaos. Zaoli, who hurried out to ask for a doctor, happened to meet Liu Wentai, the judge of Taiyuan Hospital, who was returning from the imperial medicine warehouse at the door. This minister was a few
However, the imperial doctor of the imperial court was also upright. Since the matter at hand was not urgent, he followed the Zaoli back without saying a word and diagnosed Jiao Fang's pulse in full view of everyone.
"Sir, you must have been working hard these days, and your liver and lungs have been damaged. The weather is hot now, and if you don't take good care of yourself, your condition will be worrying. At this age, you should have a day and night to do things, how can you act like a young person?
Are you forcing yourself to get up? The Minister of Civil Affairs, Ma Shangshu, is already ill. What's wrong with you falling ill?"!
