The dismissal of Shang Ming, the admiral of Dongchang, immediately caused shock in the entire court. You must know that the admiral of Dongchang is one of the top figures in the entire eunuch system, and his status is equivalent to the cabinet minister of the foreign dynasty. Therefore, Eunuch Shang
How could being demoted not cause shock?
First of all, what shocked the princes of the court was that Shang Ming actually fell. Everyone was completely unprepared...
Before this, not many people were really optimistic about Fang Yingwu. How could Admiral Dongchang be so easy to defeat? If Fang Yingwu could force Shang Ming to express his apology without any pain (mostly under the pressure of the emperor), even if
Got the victory.
What's more, Wang Zhi, the admiral of the West Factory, has gone to the border town, and the commander of the Jinyi Guards has made Wantong seriously ill. The only spy leader the emperor can rely on for the time being is Shang Ming, who is unlikely to abandon his martial arts.
But what the court officials never expected was that Fang Yingwu actually defeated Shang Ming in a fight. Although he didn't understand what methods were used, the result was unquestionable.
After this surprise was exaggerated and amplified, several folk legends emerged - there was a treacherous evil Shang Ming in the palace who planned to rebel against the king, but Fang Qingtian saw through the treacherous plot and fought with Eunuch Shang for 300 rounds at the gate of the palace. In the end, the evil did not prevail against the good, and all directions
The gods help Fang Qingtian, and the evil Eunuch Shang reveals his true form and is captured...
Secondly, what shocked the princes of the court was that Shang Ming's downfall was so fast and so efficient that it was simply outrageous.
According to experience, this kind of battle can last for months, and it is not impossible for it to last for a year and a half. It doesn’t take time for everyone to write the memorial? It doesn’t take time for the emperor to read it and give feedback? Dongchang fell into the trap and responded
It doesn’t take time to frame someone? After a few rounds of back and forth, time will be gone.
But this time, it only took half a month. Half a month ago, there was a rumor in the world that Wang Zhi was about to fall. Shang Ming, the admiral of the East Factory, suddenly became high-spirited and powerful. The supporters who came to defect to him were like people crossing the river.
Crucian carp is about to replace Wang Zhi of Xichang in one fell swoop!
It had only been half a month. It collapsed suddenly without any warning or any obvious signs. The collapse was as fast as lightning, almost catching everyone off guard. At first they thought it was a joke.
It's hard to believe.
For a moment, everyone in the imperial court was speechless, not knowing how to react. Is this the magistrate of a certain Jing County who is too unreasonable, or is Shang Ming just showing up and being too useless?
On the second day after Shang Ming was deposed, the number of heroes who went to the county government to see Fang Yingwu increased to more than a dozen. However, Fang Yingwu was still not seen. This person was still not in the county government, so Master Lou
Tianhua was overwhelmed, and he was so busy that he just wanted to jump.
Someone else who was familiar with him went to the Fang family's residence, but there was still no sign of Fang Yingwu, not even Fang Qingzhi. All he could see was a young man named Xiang who warmly greeted everyone for tea.
Everyone said that in such a sensitive and extraordinary period, it is understandable for Fangzhi County to be a little more cautious and low-key.
Of course, if Fang Yingwu is unlucky and hides away from people, he may be scolded for showing off. The terrain is different, and the same thing will be evaluated differently.
But he said that the county magistrate was neither in the yamen nor at home. Instead, he came to Wang Yue's home quietly. No wonder others couldn't find him.
In the side courtyard hall of Wang Yue's house, the host was not there. Only Fang Yingwu and another middle-aged senior official wearing a second-grade official robe were sitting.
If anyone who knows him sees this scene, he will find that this second-rank official was also the focus of the past few days. Dai Jin, Dai Dazhong, the censor of the right capital who is destined to step down.
If you look closely, you will find that Fang Zhixian and Dai Dazhongcheng are sitting in the same posture. And if you further observe their demeanor, you will find that Dai Jin, the dignified minister of the second rank, is a bit groveling to Fang Zhixian, the sixth rank.
Fang Yingwu said politely: "Thank you so much, Dazhong Cheng, for your help this time, otherwise I don't know when this thief Shang Ming will be able to bring him to justice."
"No, we are just helping each other." Dai Jin also said politely and humbly: "I wonder if Wang Gong will return to Beijing? If that happens, please give Mr. Fang a few words of kindness."
"Well, it's easy to talk about." Fang Yingwu replied casually.
A few days ago, he entrusted Wang Yue to find Dai Jin, and only asked one sentence: Do you want to save yourself? As a result, Dai Jin simply agreed, and then there was a secret letter that made the emperor hate Shang Ming.
matter.
This is not surprising. After the scandal broke out that Dongchang and the Metropolitan Procuratorate colluded to frame the minister, Dai Jin fell into internal and external difficulties. Everyone on the court wanted to demolish him and replace him, and Dongchang Shangming wanted to
The hospital pushed him out as a shield to take the main responsibility.
In this situation, Dai Jin could only choose to cooperate with Fang Yingwu. You were unkind and I was unjust and bit back at Dongchang, trying his best to shift the responsibility to Dongchang to reduce the pressure he faced.
For a pure speculator who has no moral principles or standpoints, Mr. Dai has no psychological pressure to do such a thing. But what worries him most at this time is how Wang Zhi will view his former career after returning to Beijing.
betray?
Therefore, Lord Dai added to Fang Wu: "I don't want to live in peace in the temple, I just want to retire in Nanjing."
Fang Yingwu didn't say anything, and complained in his mind: Isn't this damn thing back on the track of history? In history, Dai Jin's fate was to be demoted to Nanjing to retire.
After meeting Dai Jin, Fang Yingwu saw that it was getting late and went home. Anyway, he was not interested in meeting Dai Jin, an unscrupulous person.
Although Fang Yingwu likes to play tricks, he is also a principled and bottom-line person, let alone a facilitator!
However, in this dark age when most of the top officials were bastards, how could Dai Jin be promoted from an ordinary censor to the chief censor of the right capital in just a few years?
Even himself, wouldn't he have to try his best to hug his thigh? Fang Yingwu sighed repeatedly, if he had traveled to the legendary Qingming era, he would have been able to stand out with his knowledge and ability, so why should he be so against his will?
In the Fang family's mansion, Fang Qingzhi was sitting in the study, but he was not reading, and his face was in a daze with a sad expression. Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw his son coming in.
Fang Yingwu observed the words and expressions and felt that his father was in a bad mood now. He restrained his casual attitude and asked with great concern: "May I ask, father, what worries are in your heart? Is it possible that you are sick? Can you let your son know?"
Fang Qingzhi replied feebly: "Xueshi Xu talked to me today and said that he has kept his promise and news will be released in the next few days."
Fang Yingwu was overjoyed when he heard this. The so-called promise was to recommend his father to be promoted to a higher level, and the editor would become an assistant lecturer or an assistant reader! So he quickly congratulated his father: "Congratulations on your promotion, father, our Fang family is proud of you! But that's all. It’s a happy event, why does Father look so worried?”
Fang Qingzhi said depressedly: "Xu Xueshi also made it clear that he asked Li Zi Province to handle this matter, and asked Li Zi Province to recommend him as a father to the emperor." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature for better and updated novels. Faster!
