Chapter 334: Before the Sacrifice of Prisoners

It was supposed to be a family reunion and joyful family banquet, but because of the news that the old lady of the Liu family was critically ill, it became cloudy and lifeless. Whether it's a person or a career, this is not a good thing.

Liu Mian had a straight face, and the rest of the people at the banquet didn't even have much to say, only Fang Yingwu, an "outsider", could he comfort others with a few words, let him grieve for an old man he had never met, never met, and hundreds of miles away, that was too fake.

"Jiren has his own natural appearance, and Lao Taishan should not be too worried." Fang Yingwu toasted his future father-in-law with a glass of wine and opened his mouth to persuade.

Liu Mian was in a bad mood and said impatiently: "That being said, how can you and I not know the truth in our hearts? Life is rare for seventy years, and it is useless to be obedient, and your family should not be pretending to be polite. ”

Fang Yingwu said: "The son-in-law has a few words that must be said, the gift of humanity should not be wasted, and the son-in-law will never approve of the act of winning affection, whether in the court or at home."

Even if it is beneficial for a while, it is not a long-term plan, and it is difficult to recreate it if the reputation of this aspect is ruined. If Lao Taishan still wants to leave a name in history, then there must be no thoughts of seizing affection, and it is better to worry about it for three years. ”

When Liu Mian heard this, his face was extremely ugly, three years and three years, how many three years did he have in his life?

As long as it is an individual, it will say that you can't sacrifice long-term interests for the sake of immediate interests, but how many people can really do it? How many people can really tolerate short-term losses for the sake of long-term gains? This has nothing to do with being smart or not, it is purely a test of people's hearts.

Fang Yingwu continued to persuade endlessly: "Old Taishan listens to his son-in-law's persuasion again, the government is becoming more and more chaotic today, and Old Taishan Ding has avoided the temple for three years. It's not necessarily a bad thing. ”

Suddenly, Liu Mian raised his hand and slapped the banquet table hard. The strength was extremely large, and the shaking made the tables and dishes rattle. Two of the small cups were poured out.

The father was smoldering, and the two brothers of Liu Fu seemed to feel the suffocating high pressure, and they were silent when they landed, and they didn't dare to take a breath of the atmosphere, so they could only carefully lower their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, lest they invite disaster to themselves.

But Fang Yingwu seemed to have seen something incredible and surprised, and stared at the future old Taishan with interest.

It's really unusual! Since they met, Fang Yingwu had never seen Liu Mian lose his temper like this. No matter what happened, Fang Yingwu had never seen Liu Mian angry and angry. Even if it is scolded by others.

He almost thought that in this political veteran with the nickname "cotton", he did not have the demeanor of "angry", but he didn't expect that today could be regarded as an eye-opener.

was very uncomfortable to see by her son-in-law's bright little eyes, and Liu Mian subtly felt that she had lost face a little. Seeing that his two sons were unproductive, Liu Mian couldn't help but snort coldly and walked away.

Fang Yingwu's words Liu Daxue didn't like to listen, but he didn't have anywhere to spread when he was angry. It was he who first taught Fang Yingwu to say that "human feelings and official affairs should be separated", and then said that his family should not be polite

Seeing that old Tarzan was gone. Fang Yingwu also couldn't sit at the table, so he said to the old lady: "The son-in-law has a lot of trouble today, so I will leave." The old lady nodded, and the two brothers of the Liu family got up to send each other.

Fang Yingwu just walked out of the house. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed, but I saw someone blocking the way, and I fixed my eyes. Who is it if it's not Liu Daxue?

Fang Yingwu was taken aback, and the fire that didn't like to get angry was the most terrifying. This old Taishan went and returned, with a fierce expression, wouldn't he want to go berserk and kill him?

Liu Mian glared at Fang Yingwu and asked, "What are you trying to provoke the old man to love?" Or persuade the old man to worry? ”

Fang Yingwu laughed a few times: "Old Taishan is too worried, how dare you influence Lao Taishan's thoughts?" ”

Liu Mian waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense!" If you encounter the situation of an old man and put yourself in his shoes, how will you choose? ”

"The son-in-law really doesn't know, to tell the truth, no matter how old Taishan chooses, it will be beneficial to the son-in-law, and how can the son-in-law make a decision?"

Liu Mian was once again made to vomit blood and walk away by the truth, Fang Yingwu's seemingly "impersonal" attitude is actually really not to blame others.

The two brothers of Liu Mansion stood next to them and glanced at Fang Yingwu with admiration, and the fast son-in-law who was personally selected by his harsh father was really very human.

Of course, Fang Yingwu has nothing to worry about, if Liu Mian insists on going his own way, still grabbing love as in history, and continues to dominate the cabinet position after his father's funeral, then it doesn't seem to hurt that Fang Yingwu is there.

If Liu Mian changes his personality and goes to Ding Worry about the system, then in the past three years, he can get rid of some of the negative effects caused by being too close to Liu Mian, and his future will be more clear and proper.

Of course, the premise is to get the kujishi. Without this aura, once Liu Mian's protection is lost, I am afraid that self-preservation is a problem, and there may be a human tragedy of self-sacrifice in order to protect his father's future.

Only by becoming a gentleman and becoming a "prime minister" can he obtain a relatively transcendent status, and it is impossible to be disposed of at will, which is no joke.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu, who was originally in a more leisurely state of mind, suddenly became a little urgent, and making a Shu Jishi changed from an optional question to a mandatory question.

Sure enough, as soon as you enter the rivers and lakes, you can't help yourself, there is always an invisible motivation urging you, Fang Yingwu went home with emotion. As for the success or failure of right or wrong, it all depends on how the ceremony of presenting the prisoners to the temple is about to be staged

After another two days, the long-prepared prisoner sacrifice ceremony was finally held! The prisoner gift is a kind of military salute, with the characteristics of the Celestial Empire's triumphal ceremony, the Ming Dynasty has not held a prisoner gift for decades, but at the beginning of this year, this Weininghai victory is definitely worthy of a big gift.

In this solemn and grand scene, there are several protagonists, the Son of Heaven who is responsible for the review, the military department who is responsible for reporting merits, the general who is responsible for tying up the exhibition of the chieftain, the Ministry of Rites responsible for revealing the world, and the criminal department responsible for receiving prisoners and Ming canonical punishment.

Although the rest of the civil and military officials are not the protagonists, they all have to be present to play soy sauce, and the envoys of the Beijing Fanbang also have to be present to watch the ceremony to show the national prestige. In addition, this year, since it is the spring year, the new science and technology scholars are also present to take a spectacular view.

The sky was dark, and Fang Yingwu and his father Fang Qingzhi went out together. Head towards Miyagi. On the way, Fang Xiu sighed: "If you and my father and son are officials in the same dynasty. In the future, we will have to go out together from time to time. ”

The main venue for the prisoner sacrifice ceremony is at the noon gate, and the Son of Heaven will ascend to the noon gate tower to receive the prisoner sacrifice and congratulations. And the position of the civil and military officials is outside the noon gate. It is divided into the east and west sides of the middle royal road.

The father and son of the Fang family entered the palace from the Chengtian Gate, and after passing the end gate, they separated, each looking for their own team. Depending on the status, the place where you stand is naturally different. Fang Qingzhi's Cilin Hanyuan team was closer to the noon gate, while Fang Yingwu's Guan Zheng Jinshi team was the farthest away from the noon gate, that is, the end.

Fang Yingwu faintly saw that a number of cases had been placed under the noon gate, and some generals in military uniforms and a few bigwigs who needed to go through the procedures were already in place, and they stood silent one by one. Under the eaves of the five phoenix towers above the noon gate, the throne and many ceremonial guards have been set up.

Take a few more looks. Fang Yingwu was invited into the class by the deacon. The new science and technology jinshi are still arranged according to the ranking of the imperial examination, and ten people are in a column, that is to say, the first class one to the second class seven are the first column, and the second class eight to the second class seventeen are the second column.

Fang Yingwu is the eighth in the second class, which happens to be the first position of the second column, just on the edge of the royal road. On his right, standing side by side with him is the first person in the first column, that is, the champion Zhang Tianrui

Fang Yingwu despised Zhang Zhuangyuan a few times, but did not talk to Zhang Zhuangyuan. But he chatted with Wang Yangming, the leader of the same province behind Zhang Zhuangyuan, and his father. "Brother Wang! Little brother, I once predicted that you would be at the top of the high school rankings, but I didn't expect that someone would rely on power to dominate and take away Brother Wang's luck. It's a pity that Yu and Ling Lang didn't have a chance. Can't be the teacher of Linglang! ”

Wang Yangming's father glanced at Zhang Zhuangyuan a few times, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, this is not easy to accept. He could only reply: "Brother Fang Xian's words are serious!" I've got to hit the list. It's already a fluke, as for the champion. That is what Brother Fang Xian is pursuing, and I don't dare to think about it. ”

As for the topic of letting his son worship Fang Yingwu as a teacher. Wang Hua will not be broken

It's not that Wang Hua looks down on Fang Yingwu, now he is familiar with Fang Yingwu, and knows that although Fang Yingwu is extremely talented, his knowledge is very complicated, and at the same time, he doesn't seem to be very interested in Jingyi.

Wouldn't letting your son worship such a teacher be like falling into a pit? Do you want a future in the imperial examination? As a responsible father, you must not let Fang Yingwu teach your son!

Fang Yingwu unscrupulously looked for Wang Hua to talk about the gains and losses of the champion, but Zhang Tianrui was annoyed. The real champion is still standing here, and these two people regard it as nothing? Everyone else on the side is watching, how can he not lose this face.

In this way, Zhang Tianrui proudly interjected: "A peck and a drink, all have a destiny, there is no need for pantothenic acid here in the same year!" Could it be jealousy? ”

Originally, when Zhang Tianrui faced Fang Yingwu, he was still a little weak, after all, he was not convinced by the public. But then I felt that the world often said that the king is the king, and the champion is the champion, not to mention that he has become an irreconcilable opponent, what is the use of a weak heart?

Moreover, a weak heart will also lead to a white dwarf, so simply make enough momentum and not fall behind in front of Fang Yingwu. Fang Yingwu is the future son-in-law of a scholar, is there no scholar behind him?

When Fang Yingwu heard Zhang Tianrui's words, he turned his head and looked up and down a few times, sneered a few times, and reprimanded Zhang Zhuangyuan: "The vertical son is not even as good as Xie Qian!" ”

Saying this here, although the people around him didn't interject, they were all listening with their ears pricked up, everyone has a gossip heart, obviously this is a big gossip in front of him.

It's just that everyone doesn't understand, what does Fang Yingwu's sudden appearance mean? It sounds like a curse, but it's just unconscious, weishenme Xie Qian suddenly lay down and was hit by an arrow?

Zhang Tianrui was also a little ignorant and didn't know how to answer. Fang Yingwu continued to reprimand: "That Xie Qian was at fault with my father and son back then, but he has always been weak in front of my father and son, which shows that he still knows honor and shame in his heart, and he may have to do something wrong!"

And you, Zhang Zhuangyuan, obviously this head is not right, who doesn't know what happened in the Jinluan Palace at that time? If you meditate and introspect, it's just a low-key matter, but you still have to be proud in front of me, which can be said to be not ashamed but proud!

I'm on the same list as you today, I'm ashamed! That's why I said, although you are also the champion, you are far inferior to the champion Xie! Even the most basic view of honor and shame is not correct! ”

Everyone around was speechless, Fang Yingwu's words were really powerful, and they couldn't disagree with the obvious damage and the secret damage of the other outside the words, and the Fang family, which was more and more flawless, was wronged Wei Guangzheng.

At this time, the celebrant shouted loudly, and it was time for the ceremony to begin, and the crowd stopped whispering and stood solemnly. (To be continued......)
