Academician Liu chatted for a long time, sometimes talking about his children's marriage, sometimes about his father's critical illness. Anyway, not a word mentioned official matters, it was all his own private matters, and he did not say whether what Ni Jinxian played was right or wrong.
If it weren't for the fact that we are currently in an extraordinary period, some officials would inevitably jump out and impeach Liu Mianhua for not doing his job properly, for being disrespectful before the emperor, and for being pretentious and deceiving the emperor.
But it is precisely because what Liu Ji said are all private matters that it puts the emperor in trouble. Official matters can be handled publicly, but private matters should be handled publicly, which is a bit unhuman. It is like having an old friend who has known you for many years and complains to you on a personal basis.
Are you embarrassed or not?
Since the time when the emperor was preparing to ascend the throne of the Eastern Palace, Liu Ji has also been a veteran minister who has served him for many years. He is usually quite docile and obedient. This kind of affection is indeed difficult to get rid of.
Of course, Liu Mianhua did not directly plead for mercy, but only talked about his position as a father and son. He did not expect any unexpected surprises, as long as he could disperse the emperor's concentrated thoughts of killing and decisiveness, then his goal would be achieved.
Otherwise, the Emperor would have no words to say, and the Emperor would have spoken out his words at the court meeting. Once he said it, there would be no way to chase him back. This is indeed the case. The Emperor was determined to cut through the mess with a sharp knife, and changed the imperial staff to the imperial staff.
Distribution was issued, but Liu Mianhua's interference caused him to hesitate again.
At the same time, Fang Yingwu was taken out of Dongchang Prison again and taken to the execution hall to be interrogated by Shang Ming, the governor of Dongchang.
At this point, Shang Ming has no way out. Since he entered the palace to complain about Wang Zhi's situation, he can't look back. He can only grit his teeth and walk all the way to the dark side to open a breakthrough from Fang Yingwu.
And Eunuch Shang can also feel it. This is the emperor's tacit approval. Otherwise, when he went to the palace to impeach Wang Zhi yesterday, why didn't the emperor reprimand him? Obviously to a certain extent, he also tacitly allowed him to continue the investigation. As long as he can give
An explanation is not a mistake.
Of course, Xiangzhuang's sword dance ambition was in Peigong, but Eunuch Shang didn't believe it. The chief assistant, Jin Yiwei, and Dongchang couldn't defeat Wang Zhi together. Wang Zhi's biggest supporter was none other than Concubine Wan Guifei. But Wantong on his side was Wan Tong.
The royal concubine’s biological brother.
Feeling emboldened, Shang Ming slapped the case and said, "Fang Yingwu, you have colluded with the eunuchs and plotted evil. Do you know whether you are guilty or not? Why don't we punish you quickly and truthfully, otherwise the law of the country will not forgive you!"
Hearing the word "national law", Fang Yingwu couldn't help but laugh out loud. A Dongchang boss was sitting on it and opened his mouth to speak about "national law". It was really a shame that he could say it out loud. He cupped his fists and saluted, "I haven't seen you for a day. Mr. Shang is so courageous."
Stronger."
Hearing this, Shang Ming shouted angrily: "How dare you smile and talk sweetly! Do you really think that Dongchang's torture instruments are just decorations? Come forward and take them down!"
The fans on the left and right also shouted loudly, and two more people came forward to take action. Fang Yingwu suddenly threw an irregular roundhouse kick, knocking down one of them first.
Shang Ming was shaking with anger. Has there ever been such an arrogant criminal in the Dongchang torture hall? He repeatedly slapped the table and shouted: "Bring the sticks! Bring the sticks!"
The instrument of torture was thrown in the middle of the lobby with a clatter. It looked like just two simple hardwoods. However, Fang Yingwu took a breath and felt a dull pain in his ankle. This was more painful than hitting a board! He quickly lifted it up.
Shou Gao shouted: "Wait a minute! I'm going to attack you! I wonder what the factory manager wants to ask?"
Shang Ming was very wary of the other party. He was not too happy. He calmly asked again: "In the past few days, have you repeatedly conspired with certain eunuchs?"
Fang Yingwu answered truthfully: "I met with Wang Gong of Xichang several times and had many secret conversations."
Shang Ming was overjoyed when he heard this and motioned to the writer next to him to write it down quickly. He then asked, "You are a prisoner in this prison. You shouldn't have any secret affairs! What are you talking about in secret?"
Fang Yingwu answered vaguely: "The secret conversation has something to do with the palace..."
Shang Ming was not just overjoyed, he was overjoyed. This Fang Yingwu was so good today that it was unbelievable! He couldn't help but check again, "You mean, you and Wang Zhi secretly talked about some big things."
Things?"
Fang Yingwu replied firmly and cooperatively: "Yes!"
Ha! Shang Ming suddenly seemed to have lost dozens of kilograms. He just wanted to look up to the sky and scream. He really couldn't find anything after running through iron shoes, and it took no effort at all!
For eunuchs, especially those close to the emperor, the biggest crime besides rebellion was probably leaking palace secrets to outsiders. Even if it was not a secret, the emperor was disgusted with eunuchs discussing palace affairs with outsiders at will.
No matter who he is, no matter how powerful he is, as long as he is able to reveal forbidden secrets, his status in the eyes of the emperor will be immediately destroyed.
It would be great if the emperor knew that Wang Zhi kept secretly discussing palace matters with the sensitive Fang Yingwu at this sensitive time!
After Shang Ming was overjoyed, he did not forget his duties and asked: "What did you talk about?"
Fang Yingwu thought for a moment and then replied: "Shang Gong, it's better to stop meddling. What does it have to do with you?" Shang Ming suddenly turned his face and ordered his subordinates: "Put sticks on your left and right sides!"
At this moment, several military attachés suddenly broke in. The leader bowed his hands to Shang Ming and said, "Your Excellency, we are the imperial guards. We have been ordered to come to the East Factory to pick up the supplies!"
Shang Ming was stunned, "Why did the emperor take away Fang Yingwu all of a sudden?" Not only Shang Ming, but everyone in the hall had questions. This Fang Yingwu had already been around Jinyiwei, West Factory, and East Factory.
After completing a Grand Slam, where can you go after taking it away?
The leading military attache simply explained to Shang Ming: "Your Majesty has gone to the Imperial Wenhua Palace early in the morning, and all the ministers, ministers, ministers, and ministers and ministers and ministers will be attending the imperial court today to review the matters!"
There was such an uproar in the hall. I didn't expect that the commotion would reach such an extent that a court trial would be held! Fang Yingwu was also stunned and turned to look at the military attache who came to mention someone. How could the scene become so big?
Suddenly feeling blessed, Fang Yingwu raised his hand and pulled off his bun, immediately creating a disheveled image.
Everyone's eyes were attracted to Fang Yingwu, and they didn't react for a moment. Then they saw Fang Yingwu tearing his clothes hard, and with three strokes, the originally intact scholar's shirt turned into several large pieces of rags.
On the body.
After that, Fang Yingwu wiped a few smears on his face randomly, and it seemed that in an instant, the originally handsome young man turned into a beggar with disheveled hair and ragged clothes.
Did this person lose his mind and go crazy when he heard that he was going to meet Tianyan? Everyone couldn't help but wonder.
In the end, Fang Yingwu hugged the central pillar of the hall, raised his head high, and tried to hit him. If he really hit him, although he would not die, his forehead would definitely be bloody...
However, after hesitating for a moment, Fang Yingwu let go of his hand again, which made everyone subconsciously sigh in relief. It seemed that he was not completely crazy yet.
Under everyone's confused gazes, Fang Yingwu seemed to have returned to normal. He walked up to several military attachés and urged lightly: "What are you doing standing still? Let's go."
The leading military attache was confused by Fang Yingwu's series of inexplicable actions, and then he realized what he was doing and nodded.
Only Eunuch Shang Mingshang in the hall had some bad premonitions in his heart. Is Fang Yingwu trying to sell his sadness? If outsiders saw this, their first impression would be that he was abused in Dongchang!
