All cases related to the Fan family were confirmed one by one by the two imperial envoys without mercy.
Once all these cases are overturned, it will be confirmed that the Fan family in Jiangdu Prefecture has committed evil and unscrupulous acts.
Then after the two imperial envoys return to Jiankang, they will report the truth to the court. At that time, the Fan family will have their homes ransacked, and at the worst, they will bleed a lot and spit out a lot of money and property.
More importantly, the new Inspector Fan Tong, who has gone to Guangxi, will also be implicated in this matter. He will not be directly demoted to a commoner, but he will probably be charged with "bad family tradition" or "covering the clan". , was demoted to the third level.
He was promoted to the third rank as an imperial envoy, and when he was demoted to the third rank, he was demoted from the fourth rank. With Fan Tong's behavior contrary to the Sacred Heart, he would probably be able to live as an ordinary prefect in Guangxi.
You must know that Guangxi in this era was part of Lingnan, a place of "exile".
If nothing else happens, it will be difficult for him to leave Guangxi in his life. If he offends anyone when he takes office as the Minister of Jiankang, not only will he not be able to leave Guangxi, he may even die in Guangxi.
However, all this is Shen Yi's speculation. According to the current situation in the court, if the situation in the court changes and His Majesty the Emperor begins to shrink his neck and live like the late emperor, people from Yang Xiang's group, similar to Chen Yu, will regain control of the government. , then there is no chance that Fan Tong will return to the court.
The situation is always changing, and Shen Yi cannot predict such changes.
However, now that Fan Dongcheng has been brought to justice, he will be hanged after a review by the Ministry of Punishment in Qiu. The first "small goal" that Shen Yi set more than two years ago has been half achieved.
Being able to achieve this goal is not his personal ability.
Behind him is Ganquan Academy, but at the same time it is not just Ganquan Academy.
If only one Ganquan Academy could defeat Minister Fan, it would be difficult to kick a Minister of Punishment out of Jiankang. The reason why Shen Yi was able to do it was because there was an Emperor behind him.
However, achieving this "small goal" is not completely cost-free.
First of all, Shen Yi has initially been bound to the current emperor who wants to revive the country.
But the existence of the emperor will change.
Therefore, Shen Yi can only be said to be tied to the emperor's "ZTE cause". If ZTE can become bigger and stronger, Mr. Shen will naturally follow suit. If ZTE is hopeless, Shen Yi and the entire Ganquan Academy will be in the imperial court. Lost ground.
At that time, unless Shen Yi starts a new business, he will have no choice but to go back to Jiangdu to teach and educate people like Master Lu. There is no other way out.
And the second price is...
Due to various reasons, Shen Yi offended the old Prime Minister Yang and the Zhao family, which was extremely powerful in the court.
This offending was not because of a little Fan Dongcheng, but because of the little emperor's great cause of resurgence.
It was okay for Yang Jingzong. After all, the old man had retreated. Although the tea was not completely cool yet, it was at least in the process of cooling, but Zhao Clan...
With Shen Yi's current status, facing this behemoth... just like Fan Dongcheng said, if he is not careful, he will end up even more miserable than him.
In other words, after Shen Yi got rid of the survival pressure brought by the Fan family, he faced a new pressure.
With this pressure, Shen Yi had to try his best to climb up.
Originally, there was no shortcut for civil servant promotion. It was necessary to gain qualifications and achieve political achievements bit by bit. But now, an opportunity has been placed in front of Shen Yi, and that is...
Japanese pirates.
It is obvious that His Majesty the Emperor wants to use Japanese pirates to make a fuss.
They even wanted to use Japanese pirates to train a new army.
If the Chen court is compared to a large company, then the emperor is the big boss of the company. Now, the big boss is going to start a "new project" himself.
Projects that are followed up personally by the big boss naturally have a bright future.
With the national strength of Chen State, it can resist the Northern Qi Dynasty. As long as they are willing to devote their efforts to deal with these Japanese pirates, even if they cannot be completely wiped out in a short time, they can definitely achieve some results.
That night, Shen Yi sat alone in his study, pondering the emperor's thoughts and began to write the newspaper word for word.
Because he slept for most of the day, Shen Yi didn't feel sleepy at night, so he simply stayed up all night. Early the next morning, Shen Yi finally wrote the article about the Japanese pirates.
When the first ray of sun shone into the Shen family yard, Shen Yi opened the study door and stretched out.
At this time, Lu Ruoxi, who had already put on thick clothes, came over with a basin of hot water. She looked at Shen Yi with a hint of complaint in her tone.
"We've only been married for a short time, and you've been sitting in the study all day, not even entering the bedroom."
"Isn't this because I'm busy with business?"
Shen Yi washed his face, smiled at his wife and said, "I stayed up all night yesterday and finally finished my business. I will definitely spend time with my wife tonight."
Lu Ruoxi spat and snorted: "I hate it, who wants you to accompany me?"
"You have some breakfast and then have a good sleep. It is said in medical books that staying up late is the most debilitating. You need to make up for it."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said: "I won't sleep during the day today, so as not to really reverse day and night, and my husband will have to go out later."
Shen Yi's father, Shen Zhang, has gone to live in the Shen family's mansion. Shen Heng is living in the academy again. At this time, there are only two people in the Shen family's house and a few maids. Even Chen Youniang " I took a leave of absence and went home to spend time with my parents.
After the young couple had breakfast, Shen Yi went out to find an incense shop, bought some paper money for sacrificial incense candles, then rode out of the city on horseback to Chenjiacun, and burned them in front of Chen Qing's tomb.
At this moment, there are fresh ashes in front of Chen Qing's grave. It is obvious that Chen Heizi and his wife just visited his grave a few days ago.
However, Shen Yi did not bother Chen Qing's parents. He just burned the paper money, said a few words to Chen Qing, then silently mounted his horse and left.
After returning to the city, Shen Yi read for a long time at home. In the evening, he went out again to Mingyue Tower for a banquet.
At this meal, basically all the officials from Jiangdu were present. In addition to the officials from Jiangdu, there were also some local squires from Jiangdu, as well as Shen Yi and Sun Li, two new scholars from Jiangdu.
For such a big battle, it was natural to invite the two envoys who came to Jiangdu to handle the case to a banquet.
Because the case had been completed, the two imperial envoys were very generous and arrived early. These Jiangdu gentlemen gathered in Mingyue Tower, drinking glasses and talking, and the atmosphere was very good.
Even Shen Yi, who had a pretty good drinking capacity, drank a lot.
Sun Li, who was not good at drinking, even drank so much that he couldn't even pull it up after drinking it under the table.
In the end, Zhang Jian called the county government officials to send these gentlemen back to their residences one by one, using official weapons for personal use.
After that, Shen Yi's life became dull. Apart from making little ones at home, he spent every day reading and writing, or going to Ganquan Academy for a stroll, or drinking with the county magistrate.
Soon we entered the twelfth lunar month of the seventh year of Hongde. As the sun and moon rotated, the time came to the end of the twelfth lunar month, and there were only a few days left before the end of the year.
On this day, Jiangdu had a rare heavy snowfall for several days. The heavy snow weighed on the branches and dyed the entire Jiangdu city a snowy white.
The seven years of Hong De also came to an end with this heavy snow.
