Chapter 341: Father and Son Tacit Understanding (Part 2)
After hearing the report from the door, Fang Qingzhi remained calm, his face remained calm, and the tea cup in his hand did not even tremble a little.
But Fang Yingwu stood up and couldn't help but open his eyes and look outside. This official school must be a factory guard. If he dares to openly break into the minister's house, he must be following the emperor's edict!
What also surprised Fang Yingwu was that these people came so quickly! His father was only a seventh-grade editor, did he deserve such a quick response? But it's not surprising if he thinks about it carefully.
Nowadays, I am not a wise king and a holy master. When I came to the throne at a young age, it was fine and my bad deeds were not obvious. But as I grow older, various problems gradually become apparent. Problems such as extravagance, abuse of personal life, and sycophancy are common. , and the impact on the operation of the imperial court is getting worse and worse, so the loyal and upright ministers in the DPRK naturally cannot sit idly by and ignore it.
In the past few years, during conflicts between emperors and ministers, those high-ranking officials with long reputations were the main force in dissuading the emperor. As a result, many high-ranking officials were excluded from the capital, such as the former chief assistant Shang Ren and the former left capital censor Li Bin. , former Minister of War, Xiang Zhong and others.
In recent years, after the ruling leaders of the DPRK and Central Government were replaced by paper-made three pavilion elders and clay-made six ministers, in the face of the emperor's mistakes, the senior officials all turned into fools and pretended to be confused, and the reputation of scholars plummeted. Typical representatives That's Liu Mianmian.
As for the power of admonishing the emperor regardless of his own safety, they were replaced by middle-level officials, such as the censor of Kedao, the ministers of the six departments, and the ministers of Hanyuan. They tried their best to maintain a righteous existence in the court filled with evil winds. Year after year Some of them were demoted to other places as county magistrates. More specifically, the representative figures were figures like his father Fang Qingzhi.
Although I thought so, the situation developed a bit quickly. Fang Yingwu couldn't help but ask: "Father, what did you write in the memorial?"
Fang Qingzhifeng replied calmly: "It's nothing, I just listed the ten faults of the Holy One, and begged the Holy One to be happy after hearing it and accept advice to correct it."
Ten items... there must be a lot of old accounts, and anyone else would be crazy. Fang Yingwu was speechless, and suddenly found that he understood the emperor's mood better.
Fang Qingzhi gently put down the tea cup, stood up and fluffed up his sleeves. He straightened his clothes and hat after taking some time off, and stepped out of the threshold fearlessly with his head held high.
Fang Yingwu stood behind his father, looking at his father's straight back, and couldn't help but excitedly called out: "Father! Dear! Sir!"
Fang Qingzhi glanced sideways at his son and shouted softly: "A man should look up to heaven and be worthy of others. He should have a clear conscience, be loyal to his ministers, and seek benevolence to gain benevolence! If you go to be a father, you can go. Why do you need to behave like a son?" "
Fang Yingwu said seriously: "I just want to say, father, you can just go and build your reputation. My son will take care of everything outside, so there is no need for father to worry about the affairs at home!"
"..." Fang Qingzhi swayed. Suddenly he felt that he was in a bit of trouble. He obviously held the feelings of his family, country and country, and was very serious about being a loyal and loyal minister, but he had such a bad mouth for his son. Can't spit out ivory! Who did he learn this from?
In fact, in this short period of time, Fang Yingwu had already calculated several times that no one would die in this current situation, and the biggest danger could be eliminated.
The worst case scenario is that like those predecessors, his father was relegated to other places as a county magistrate or an official because of his noble status as a Hanlin editor and a waiter in the East Palace.
But in this way, the reputation will be overwhelming, and it will not be difficult to become famous all over the world. When the gentleman counterattacks a few years later, it will be a shame if his father does not compensate him with a fifth-grade bachelor after returning to the court. With a fifth-grade bachelor, it will be a shame.
The next step is to consider serving as a temple minister or minister.
As for what you should do? First, you must use money to support the imperial edict and prison, so that your father will suffer less in the prison. This is what a son must do.
In fact, he may not suffer much. Even if a minister is locked up, he still has the dignity of a minister, unless he angers the emperor to the point of issuing an edict to torture him. But now it seems that it will not be so tragic, and it is not like this today.
A perverted sadist.
The second is to ask for help from many sources. There are two ways to go. One is the future Taishan Liu Mianmian, the bachelor, and the other is the emperor's confidant and celebrity Wang Eunuch. Even though the process may be very troublesome, these people are not vegetarians, but
Everything depends on human effort. Can the current situation be more difficult than three years ago?
Then came the building of momentum, which we must never forget. Then Xie Qian had noble people to support him with all his strength. Although his rise was fast, compared with his moral integrity, it would take two imprisonments to clear him up?
At the same time, we must not forget about our own future. We must be careful in this gap, not only to maintain our reputation, but also not to anger the emperor, and wait for the completion of the appointment process...
Pressing the button, Yingwu didn't express his thoughts, but said that he accompanied his father out of the lobby, and saw that more than a dozen officials had broken into the courtyard.
One of the burly military attachés faced Fang Qingzhi and his son and shouted, "Are they Fang Bianxiu and his son?"
Fang Qingzhi stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Exactly!"
The military attache then shouted: "I asked you a few words in person according to the Holy Order. Your Majesty has treated you very kindly. Regardless of your offense three years ago, I appointed you to the high position of Ci Minister. Why do you dare to criticize the Holy Majesty?"
Is there a lot of slander in the article?"
Fang Qingzhi replied loudly: "The Master said: The king treats his ministers with courtesy, and the ministers are loyal in their affairs. It is precisely because of the profound kindness of the king that ministers must serve the country redoubled, and dare not to exert their full strength and speak from the bottom of their hearts, so why not
Are you here to slander me? As the saying goes, loyal words are offensive to the ears, so I ask Your Majesty to think carefully!"
The military attache was silent for a moment, and then solemnly saluted Fang Qingzhi with clasped fists to show respect. Then he showed the document and shouted: "Stay here! I'm here to interrogate you according to the Holy Order!"
I could only hear the officers and schools on the left and right saying "Yes" in unison! Then they rushed forward and surrounded them.
Fang Qingzhi closed his eyes without saying a word and let him do whatever he wanted. Fang Yingwu witnessed such a scene for the first time. Looking at his father's majestic figure, he couldn't help but feel respectful.
Fang Yingwu was moved by his father's awe-inspiring righteousness, and when he was slightly distracted, several officers suddenly passed by his father, approached him, and stretched out their hands to hold him down.
The military attache who led the team put away the driving sticker and said to Fang Qing, "Fang Editor! I have been ordered to interrogate your son Fang Yingwu. You can take care of yourself. Now I'm leaving!"
Ah? Fang Yingwu was stunned, his mind was at a loss...
This factory guard officer came to arrest him? What on earth is going on? What about the plot where the father enters the palace for the second time and he is outside waving flags and shouting?
The official school who was ordered to take the person did not give Fang Yingwu the time to stand still and think, and directly pushed Fang Yingwu towards the gate.
Fang Yingwu was unprepared. He was caught off guard and at a loss. He subconsciously raised his hands and kept shouting: "I have made contributions to the country! I have shed blood for the country! You can't do this, you can't.
That’s it! I want to see your Majesty! I want to see your Majesty!”
Fang Qingzhi was also at a loss and had no response. He could only watch his son being taken out of the house by the Factory Guard School with dumbfounded eyes.
The tacit understanding before was not like this. Now my son is in prison, but I am safe and sound... So what should I do?
ps:
As long as I open my mind, I can usually keep up with the updates in time... I will write the next chapter when I have time during the day at work, and I will probably finish it after get off work.
