Fang Mansion."
Liu Yixian, are they really scolding the old man?"
When Fang Congzhe was changing clothes in the morning, he asked Fang Qi, the housekeeper who came to talk about it.Fang Qi bowed and replied, "Yes, master!
They said that they blamed you for such an end, and said that you would not die well!
”Fang Congzhe's body trembled slightly after hearing this, but then he sighed again and said, "Stand down, tell your family to go out less." ”"Yes!"
This Fang Qi retreated.And Fang Congzhe slandered: "Liu Yixiao, this old thing is really insidious, and he will be a yin old man until he dies!"
However, he completely offended the Donglin Party members!
But then again, if I make a compromise, they won't spare the old man!
What's more, according to the temperament of this Majesty today, Your Majesty will not let me, the head of the cabinet, easily stay out of the matter!
Fortunately, His Majesty is only sixteen years old, and he should be able to live for several decades, as long as the old man honestly follows His Majesty's wishes, he will not be in a different place. ”After changing into court clothes, Fang Congzhe entered the palace.In order to make Fang Congzhe's physical quality better, Zhu Youxiao checked and balanced the Donglin Party for himself, so he had already issued an order to give him the privilege of entering the palace in a sedan chair.And now Fang Congzhe got down from the sedan chair and came to the Qianqing Palace with Han Yi.The cabinet has one less cabinet minister, and they have jointly asked for additional cabinet ministers.After all, the cabinet is busy with affairs, and the absence of a cabinet minister will affect the efficiency of government affairs.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao issued an order last night to let Fang Congzhe and Han Yi, two cabinet ministers, come to the Qianqing Palace platform to meet him and discuss the addition of cabinet ministers and other affairs.With regard to governing the country, Zhu Youxiao advocated holding small meetings for major matters and holding meetings for small matters.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not intend to use the court to elect cabinet ministers, because it would take time and the court would often promote ministers who were closer to the hearts of the civilian clique.Zhu Youxiao can only accept the recommendation of a few important ministers at most, or discuss it with a few important ministers."
Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is most appropriate for the cabinet to elect Ye Gongye Xianggao, he is the first assistant of the previous dynasty, he has always been highly respected, and he is fair and decisive, and he has always been admired by the people of the world."
Han Yi recommended Ye Xianggao at this time.Zhu Youxiao nodded and glanced at Fang Congzhe: "How is Yuan Fuyi?"
”Fang Congzhe didn't want Ye Xianggao to enter the cabinet, the reason was naturally very simple, Ye Xianggao was more senior than him, and he was a person supported by the Donglin Party.But Fang Congzhe was not easy to say clearly, only said: "Ye Gong is highly respected, and he also has the grace to promote the ministers, and the ministers believe that Ye Gong can serve the public when he enters the cabinet, and make the hundred officials do their best to make the world rule." ”Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, and immediately denied it: "Although Ye Xianggao is famous and decisive, this person is not good at handling military affairs, and he only cares about the present and does not care about the long-term.Now the East is still a hidden danger of my Ming Dynasty, and because of the lax armament of my Ming Dynasty, the surrounding strong neighbors and the internal Tusi have gradually despised the court, and the future military affairs will only be more and not less, so the cabinet ministers also have to choose a soldier who is familiar with border affairs. ”Wang Xiangqian?
Han Yi was a little disappointed in his heart, thinking that the emperor really didn't mean to let Ye Xianggao enter the cabinet.Fang Congzhe immediately said: "Your Majesty Shengming!
Wang Xiangqian is an old minister of the Longqing Dynasty, and he defeated the foreign captives several times during the period of the governor of Jiliao, and shocked the nine sides, with him as a minister, he will revive my Ming side affairs!
”Zhu Youzhen laughed because of this: "Let's draw up an order immediately, reinstate Wang Xiang as a cadre, and enter the cabinet as a scholar of Wuyingdian!"
”"Yes!"
Fang Congzhe and Han Yi immediately replied.And Han Yi was naturally in a bad mood, after all, he preferred to let Ye Xianggao enter the cabinet, so that he could suppress Fang Congzhe with himself.Fang Congzhe was overjoyed because of this.However, Fang Congzhe's face was full of joy not because Wang Xiangqian entered the cabinet, but because Ye Xianggao could not enter the cabinet, and he found that His Majesty's complexion was much better now than before he ascended the throne, which made him feel a lot more at ease about his future.Han Yi noticed the joy on Fang Congzhe's face, so he couldn't help but scold: "Old goods!
I only know that only the order of the Son of Heaven is obeyed, and it is really in vain to occupy this position of the first assistant!
”For a while, after Han Yi went home and saw Xie Xuelong, he still couldn't get rid of the anger in his heart, and said to Qian Qianyi with a somewhat complaining tone: "Your Majesty rejected the suggestion of the servant to let Ye Gong enter the cabinet, mainly because this party blindly flattered from Zheyi, so that His Majesty finally chose to let Wang Xiangqian enter the cabinet!"
”And so it was!
Anyway, the other Fang Congzhe will taste how serious the consequences of betraying the scholar are. ”Xie Xuelong sneered as he spoke.…… As soon as Fang Congzhe returned to his house, his housekeeper Fang Qi ran over and hurriedly said, "Master!
The young master has been kidnapped!
Said that I want you to meet you at the wicker village on the outskirts of the north of the city!
”After hearing this, Fang Congzhe felt a thunderbolt in his ears, and suddenly, the whole person was stunned.Fang Shihong is Fang Congzhe's only son, he has always doted on his son very much, and now he hears that his son has been kidnapped, which is naturally a big blow to him.But Fang Congzhe is a person who has also experienced a lot of things, and after being stunned for a while, he calmed down, and did not ask why he had already told his family not to go out, why did the young master still go out, and only asked: "Don't make a noise in advance, who told you about this?!"
”Fang Qi hurriedly replied: "It's the little guy Moyu who followed the young master's side, and the news he brought back, he also brought a note, and the note said that you should go to the wicker village in the northern suburbs of the city to meet him!"
”After Fang Qi said this, he immediately presented a note to Fang Congzhe.Fang Congzhe took the note and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't see who the note was, so he only nodded and said, "Don't make a noise in advance, prepare the car, master, I'm going to change into civilian clothes and go out of the city!"
”"Yes!"
Fang Qi immediately replied.Half an hour later, Fang Congzhe came to the wicker village in the north of the city.As soon as Fang Congzhe got off the horse, a team of people surrounded him, and one of them asked, "But Master Fang?"
”Fang Congzhe replied: "It's the old man." ”"Bring it here!"
The man let out a loud shout.Suddenly, one person walked over with Fang Shihong in tow.As soon as Fang Shihong saw Fang Congzhe, he cried and shouted: "Father, save me!"
Help me!
”And at this time, the person said: "Master Fang, they asked me to send a message to you, they said, you should know why we arrested your son, your son was almost sentenced to death back then, just to teach you a lesson, now you are not interested, and you have to betray the entire scholar, so I will arrest your son today and remind you again!"
They also ask you, do you really think that you blindly obey the Son of Heaven, and if the Son of Heaven does not kill you, no one will kill you and kill your son?
”Fang Congzhe pleaded: "The old man is a Ming courtier, if he is not loyal to the Son of Heaven, he will also die!"
Please forgive me!
”"They also guessed that you would say that, so they also asked me to bring you a sentence that you can choose to kill yourself to save your family's life."
The man continued.
