Chapter 477: The Last Protagonist
Most of the attention in the hall was focused on the crown prince Taibao, the scholar of the Jinshen Palace, and the second assistant Liu Jue, but Liu Cifu definitely didn't want to be the focus.
The class order next to Liu Cifu is his old rival Shoufu Wan'an. At this moment, although Wan Shoufu can't face Liu Cifu because of the angle of his position, he only glances at it from the corner of his eye, which is refreshing enough.
Looking back on the past, Wan Shoufu sighed slightly, it has been nearly ten years since Chenghua was eleventh year ago, and now it has been unconsciously for nearly ten years. An old enemy who has been fighting with him for nearly ten years is about to reach the end of his rope, what could be more refreshing than this?
Once Liu Jue, the second assistant who is the biggest threat to himself, goes to work, he will be invincible, he is really lonely, Wan Shoufu sighed in his heart.
Wan Shoufu secretly glanced at the hall, and a sense of superiority in IQ spontaneously emerged. I'm afraid that everyone thinks that Wang Mo is Liu Yu's drummer in the matter, and Liu Cifu sent him to defend himself.
But most people will never know that Wang Mo is actually arranged by his ten thousand assistants. Even if no one else comes out to question it, there will be someone else who will choose to come forward to sing the duet.
What should be the help of heaven, and the benefits are endless, it is ridiculous, it is all for him to carry shoes! In the end, the greatest benefit is not for him to suffer in peace?
Liu Cifu did not move for a long time and fell into great embarrassment, obviously he could not defend himself, and he did not want to resign. But in addition to resigning, I really feel cornered.
Chenghua Tianzi saw it in his eyes and sighed secretly.
Although over the years, Liu Yu's aggressive, narrow-minded and other character shortcomings have been exposed more and more. became more and more displeasing to the Son of Heaven, and became bored. Especially in the case of the comparison with VIE.
But Liu Jue was the emperor of the East Palace after all. Now seeing that the teacher has fallen into this embarrassing situation, the Son of Heaven still has some sympathy.
In this way, the Son of Heaven opened Chrysostom and said, "If Mr. Dongliu has something to say." You might as well go into detail again, and you don't have to rush it. ”
This is to let Mr. Liu Yu go home, and then write a resignation. Compared with being forced to resign without a crown in front of the ministers in the Golden Palace, it is still much more decent to write a resignation.
In this way, Liu Cifu's matter has been brought to fruition, and it has been temporarily revealed, so there is no need to continue to discuss it. As introduced earlier, the focus of the earthquake corresponds to two things, and Fang Yingwu's impeachment of Liu Jue is just a small weather vane. Lin Jun risked his life to behead the eunuch Liang Fang and the demon monk Jixiao, and the two lucky ones are the vane. Or it can be said that the front is probably just a warm-up exercise, and the rest is the main event.
Sure enough, unlike Fang Cai's contradictions and entanglements, once the topic shifted to the eunuch Liang Fang and the demon monk Jixiao, the minister was as angry as if he had been beaten with chicken blood!
For a while, the ministers marched one after another, saying that the earthquake was surrounded by treachery and evil on the side of the induction king, and asked His Majesty to obey the will of heaven, behead Liang Fang, and Jixiao apologize to God!
Honestly. Liang Fang and Jixiao are indeed hated by ministers. One is insatiable greed and wantonly embezzles the treasury under the pretense of the hand of the Son of Heaven; The other is too ostentatious and arrogant, and the honor guard of a half-hung monk is even more grand than that of Zai Fushangshu!
Tianzi covered his face with a headache, as expected. This situation is not surprising at all. He was indeed in awe of the heavens' warning, but if he wanted to kill Liang Fang and Jixiao, the two favored people, it really couldn't be done.
Fortunately, there are other preparations. Otherwise, the Son of Heaven would not have bothered to convene this court meeting. He secretly glanced at Wan An and asked Wan An to come forward and turn around according to the original plan.
As a caring person of the Son of Heaven. Of course, Wan An would not refuse the will of the Son of Heaven, and when he saw this, he came out and said: "The minister asks His Majesty to pardon Lin Jun!" ”
The Son of Heaven replied very cooperatively: "Yes! ”
The rest of the ministers listened in their ears. thought that Wan An was going to bargain with the Son of Heaven in order to pardon Lin Jun and make concessions elsewhere. But Lin Jun's release is the right thing to do, and he can't give up his roots and let go of the culprit in order to deal with the changes in the sky!
Wan An continued: "Please spare Lin Jun from death, dismiss Liang Fang, and expel Jixiao!" ”
Compared with beheading, recall and expulsion are barely acceptable to the Son of Heaven, so he continued to agree: "Yes! ”
Wan An immediately bowed to the ground and bowed: "Long live!" ”
In this regard, the ministers can only complain: "It is worthy of the famous Long Live Pavilion Elder." But if the Son of Heaven and Shoufu reached an agreement in an instant, it would be difficult for others to overthrow it, otherwise it would be a challenge to the authority of the Son of Heaven and Shoufu at the same time.
Everyone sighed secretly, and this was indeed the only way to go. The general trend has been decided, and it is impossible to completely get rid of the traitor by taking advantage of the heavenly changes, and it is impossible to make trouble in Fuque for this, and it is acceptable to exchange Liang Fang Jixiao for being ousted and expelled.
This court meeting is about to end here, and the princes in the palace relaxed, waiting boredly for the Son of Heaven to take the lead in exiting the Wenhua Palace.
At this moment, someone suddenly appeared on the stage, and a handsome thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old minister came out of the class and said loudly: "The minister has a play!" ”
Everyone looked at it together, it turned out to be the well-known Zuo Yude and the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, Fang Qingzhi, who was also the father of the famous Fang Yingwu, and I didn't know what else he was going to say.
Fang Qingzhi was not slow or slow, and talked calmly and calmly: "According to public opinion, Liang Fang, Jixiao, and Liu Gong are all celestial induction warning people, but today, the imperial court has dealt with Liang Fang and Jixiao lightly, but Liu Gong has been dealt with harshly, and ordered him to resign. It is inevitable that there is a difference between internal and external priorities, and it is unfair to do things! ”
What does that mean? Everyone else was a little confused, listening to Fang Qingzhi's tone, it seemed that he wanted to excuse Liu Jue?
Everyone would not suspect that Fang Qingzhi intended to curry favor with Liu Jue, this is Fang Yingwu's father, how could he please please Liu Jue, who is about to step down? It's just weird.
Who doesn't know that the Fang family and Liu Jue have always had a vendetta, especially the feud between Fang Yingwu and Liu Jue is very deep, and if a champion is taken away, it is a little lighter than the revenge of killing his father and taking his wife. Otherwise, Fang Yingwu would not have insulted Liu Yu in a big way a year ago, of course, the correct way to say it is impeachment.
Fang Qingzhi continued: "The imperial court acts as big as a prison sentence or as small as a reward, and the first thing is justice!" What is justice today?
The minister thought that he could be heavy at the same time, beheading Liang Fang and Jixiao, and removing Liu Gong, which was one; Or at the same time, be lenient, dismiss Liang Fang, chase Jixiao and only punish Liu Gong, this is two!
If His Majesty refuses to behead Liang Fang and Ji Xiao to thank the heavens, then Liu Gong should not be dealt with severely, otherwise it will be against justice! ”
As long as the Son of Chenghua can save the lives of Liang Fang, Jixiao and others, of course, he doesn't have much obsession with the old Teacher Liu's going, so he asked: "What do you think?" ”
Fang Qingzhi replied: "You can move Liu Gong to be a scholar of Wenhua Hall or Wuying Palace, and still keep him in the cabinet, or you can atone for your crimes." ”
It doesn't matter, Chenghua Tianzi nodded and said, "But!" ”
As soon as the Son of Heaven said his word, the image of Fang Qingzhi standing in the golden hall suddenly became a little taller, and it was dazzling in the eyes of the princes
The ministers were deeply impressed by Fang Qingzhi, this heart, this bearing, very human, worthy of the prime minister's belly Fang Qingzhi, worthy of the sky to stay in the Fang family!
No one has received any praise before, only this last person to appear on the stage is like the protagonist today. (To be continued......)
