He raised his hands to Zhao Changping and said: "Brother Zhao, there was some discord between the traitor and Mr. Shen back then, which is why we have this misunderstanding today. Please, Brother Zhao, let me see Mr. Shen and explain things clearly in person..."
"My younger brother asked the traitor to kowtow to Mr. Shen and apologize."
"Explain clearly?"
Minister Zhao looked calm and glanced at Fan C.
"Brother Fan knows who stepped in to stop your nephew and the fourth girl from the Zhao family when they beat my nephew?"
He sneered slightly: "It's the inner guard."
"In Zhao's opinion, Brother Fan doesn't need to go and tell my nephew to make it clear. It would be better to go to the palace immediately and make it clear to His Majesty."
Zhao Shilang said calmly: "Otherwise, if Brother Fan immediately asks for the deployment of troops, takes the initiative to fight, and goes to the front line to repel the Qi people, today's matter will probably be settled."
Zhao Shilang's words still contained a bit of yin and yang aura.
What he means is that if someone from the Zhao family is fighting on the front line, the court will not be able to touch them for a while, but no one from your Fan family is fighting on the front line.
Fan C's face became very ugly.
He lowered his eyebrows and said, "Brother Zhao, it's not a big deal for children to fight each other. You and I are colleagues who are officials in the same dynasty, so why are we so quarrelsome?"
The second generation in Jiankang City had a lot of conflicts. They fought with each other, and even left them lying in bed for several months. In the end, most of them just apologized, and it would not be extended to the adults of each family.
Minister Zhao chuckled.
"Brother Fan is right. If your nephew beats the incompetent sons of my family and breaks their legs and makes them unable to get up from the bed, the most Zhao can do is ask for medical expenses from your Fan family, and then Let the younger generation handle it on their own, but the person injured today is the new Jinshi, the disciple of the Emperor..."
Zhao Shilang had no expression on his face: "He was already an official of the imperial court when he was awarded the title of Jinshi in Huagai Palace. Brother Fan was born as a scholar. You should understand that once you are awarded the title, you will be an official."
He looked at Fan C coldly.
"But today, he
I didn’t offend anyone when I traveled to Jiming Temple. If the inner guards hadn’t stopped me, I might have been beaten to a disability by those people!”
"He hasn't been commissioned yet!"
There was anger in Zhao Changping's voice: "Brother Fan can't possibly not know that if he was injured in the arm or leg today, leaving him disabled, his future in this life would be ruined!"
The Ministry of Civil Affairs has strict requirements when selecting officials.
One is of course academic requirements, and the other is that the limbs must be sound, not stuttering, not too short, or even too ugly.
If Shen Yi is disabled today, his life will really be ruined.
By the end of the speech, Zhao Changping was already very serious.
"Fan C, you are also a second-ranked Jinshi, and you are also a civil servant! Think about it, after you won the Jinshi, you were beaten by the generals for no reason, or even almost beaten to death. What would you think?"
With a simple sentence, Minister Zhao upgraded the nature of the matter from "a fight within the office" to a "civil and military confrontation."
Civil servants and military officers never pee in the same pot.
To be precise, the civil servants looked down upon those military men.
In the entire Chen court, only the generals of the Zhao family broke out of this chain of contempt.
Therefore, although the civil servants had nothing to do against the Zhao clan and were polite to their family on the surface, they would inevitably feel a little unhappy in their hearts.
If the Fan family can be pinned to the Zhao clan this time, it will be difficult for the Fan family to survive in the civil servant circle.
Fan Shilang turned around and glared at his nephew fiercely, his face turning blue.
He was very angry.
He knew about Fan Dongcheng's friendship with Zhao Gongzi Zhao Zhuo. After all, for such a long time, it would be difficult for Fan Dongcheng to hide anything from him, the Minister of Justice.
But he didn't ask any more questions.
Firstly, Fan Dongcheng was not his biological son after all, and secondly, it was not a big deal for the younger generation to make friends with each other.
It was not a big deal for Fan Dongcheng, Zhao Zhuo and the others to go out to visit a brothel and have a meal. After all, it was not Minister Fan himself visiting the Zhao family.
As for Fan Dongcheng's "hooking up" with Zhao Clan's daughter, Fan Shilang didn't know about it.
And today, Fan Dongcheng and the daughter of the Zhao family beat Shen Yi, which was an even more outrageous move.
What's even more terrible is that the Minister of Household Affairs in front of him is obviously unwilling to keep the matter quiet or make the matter as small as possible. Instead, he wants to escalate the matter to the point where it will seriously threaten his political life.
Fan Shilang suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Zhao, I will kneel down and kowtow to apologize to you, Uncle Zhao!"
Fan Dongcheng was extremely frightened at this moment and fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, kowtowing.
Zhao Shilang turned aside and did not accept Fan Dongcheng's courtesy. He looked at Fan C and said calmly: "Brother Fan, last time your nephew ruined the reputation of my academy in Jiangdu, I did not pursue it for your sake." Go down, and this time he went even further, almost pushing you to the point of renunciation and civil service."
"This time, it all depends on luck."
After saying that, Minister Zhao turned around with his hands behind his back, ignored his uncle and nephew, and left directly.
Fan C stood there and didn't speak for a long time.
Fan Dongcheng stood behind him, also trembling with fear, not daring to breathe. Seeing that Fan C didn't speak, he lowered his head and whispered: "Fifth uncle, it wasn't me who wanted to hit Shen Yi at that time, it was Miss Zhao Si who insisted on beating her. Shen Yi..."
Fan Shilang sighed helplessly: "You can only tell me what you said."
He turned back to look at Fan Dongcheng, his tone full of exhaustion: "Uncle Wei hasn't paid much attention to you in the past few months, because there is a vacant position for a minister in the Ministry of Personnel. Uncle Wei is trying to find a way to get this position, but it's better for you. I haven’t paid attention to you for a while, but you gave Uncle Wei such a big surprise.”
Fan Dongcheng shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.
Fan Shilang looked a little haggard. He sighed: "Well, I can't control you anymore, and I may not be able to control you in the future. You don't want to go to the Imperial College. Go to my house first. I'll find someone to send you away in a few days." Go back to Jiangdu and let me discipline you."
After saying that, Fan C left with his hands behind his hands.
Fan Dongcheng followed for two steps, then stopped and asked, "Uncle Wu, where are you going?"
"Where to go?"
Fan C stopped, glanced back at his nephew, and muttered: "Where else can we go? Go to the palace to kowtow to His Majesty and apologize to His Majesty!"
At this time, Fan C had to go to the palace to see the emperor.
This is not an apology, but an explanation.
Explain that his junior is ignorant and explain that this matter has nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, Fan Shilang snorted: "You go back to Jiangdu first and wait for me. It may not be long before my uncle has to go back to Jiangdu to retire!"
After that, Fan Shilang strode away.
What he said is a bit exaggerated.
Because although this matter is not trivial, as long as he goes into the palace to explain it clearly to the emperor and admits his mistake with a more sincere attitude, it will not be enough to dismiss a court boss like him at the level of Liubu Minister. At most, it will affect his future and upward progress.
The difficulty of the climb has just increased.
On this day, Fan Shilang entered the palace and waited for half an hour at the gate of Ganlu Hall before finally seeing His Majesty.
After meeting the emperor, Fan Shilang knelt on the ground, bursting into tears, and complained that there was an ignorant and unfilial son in the family, and that he was hard-working and neglectful in discipline...
The little emperor showed no expression throughout the whole process. uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com only gave him a few words of admonishment and then let him leave.
This is because personnel transfers at the level of the Six Ministers cannot be decided by anyone, not even the emperor, with a few words or a thought.
In other words, the current immature emperor cannot do it.
I want everyone to discuss it.
And for the emperor, Shen Yi's beating was not a big deal at first, but at this point in time, it just made him a little embarrassed.
However, there is a war going on on the front line, and the emperor's face can be tolerated or not.
After kowtowing in the Manna Hall for a while, Fan Shilang left the Manna Hall in embarrassment.
After walking out of the Ganlu Hall, the Minister of Justice put his hands in his sleeves and looked a little gloomy.
"Zhao Zhi... don't think that Fan is weak and easy to bully...!"
