Domineering Daming

Huang Liji is very anxious. Since he came to Jiangsu, he has been roasted on the fire. On the one hand, the court is becoming more and more strict and urgently reforms, and on the other hand, there are serious obstacles and possible strong backlash from the local government.This made him at a loss, unable to deal with it safely, he would always offend one party, but he couldn't afford to offend him.

In fact, Huang Liji's state is not uncommon in Jiangsu, or it is the most common one. He is in a dilemma and has nothing to do.

"Go ask and see what he wants to do?" Huang Liji said impatiently with a cold face.This Mr. Wang should not be offended. Others, in less than half an hour, there were already more than 30 people, and most of them hadn't left yet. Fortunately, he claimed to be sick early, so he had an excuse to disappear!

"Yes." The butler quickly turned around and left.

Mrs. Wang is nearly eighty this year. He was the minister of the Ministry of Punishments during the Wanli period. He has white beard and hair, a cold complexion, eagle-like eyes, leaning on a cane, and staring at the front motionlessly.

The Wang family is a big family in Jinling, but it is also a big family. The old man Wang has been in office for too long, and the residual heat of power has almost shrunk. For Huang Liji, who is a big official in the frontier, he doesn't need to care much.The point is, his in-law is Zhou Yingqiu - who dares not to care too much about this person!

The housekeeper walked over cautiously, and said very respectfully: "My lord, my master is still unconscious. If you have anything to do, I will tell you when the master wakes up."

Boss Wang didn't even turn his head, and said calmly: "It's okay, I have plenty of time, if I die here, I can save some funeral money."

Chapter 670 Resistance to Reform

The butler smiled wryly. This Mr. Wang was the only one invited in. They really couldn't bear it if something happened.

However, this must not have a beginning, once his master speaks, the subsequent troubles will not stop, and he will be drawn into the whirlpool.

He took a step forward and said cautiously: "My lord, if you have any request, I will go in and report to you."

There was a mocking smile on Mrs. Wang's face, and said: "Simple, please get well soon, Mr. Huang, and don't let Mrs. Fang continue to mess around. Nanzhili, don't mess around. This is also the intention of the court."

The housekeeper was startled, and said, "What does the imperial court mean?"

Elder Wang looked indifferent, and said: "Could it be that you think that the imperial court would want Nanzhili to be in chaos?"

The housekeeper looked at the old man Wang carefully, wondering whether his words represented Zhou Yingqiu in Beijing, or his own random words?

The butler was full of suspicion, and said cautiously: "My lord, Mr. Fang is also doing things in accordance with the requirements of the imperial court's 'New Deal', so I don't think he will act recklessly. If your lord encounters any trouble, our master will definitely not sit idly by. .”

Mr. Wang turned his head to look at him, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a firm tone: "Huh, if something happens, let alone Huang Liji, even the officials in the whole Nanzhili may not be in peace! If Mr. Huang thinks that hiding a It’s okay to hide, then he is stupid!”

The butler's face changed slightly. This old man is relying on the old to sell the old, and he has reached the point of reprimanding their master!

Elder Wang also roughly saw Huang Liji's attitude, stood up on crutches, and said with gloomy eyes: "Tell Huang Liji, there are some things he can't hide from!"

After finishing speaking, he knocked on his crutch angrily, and strode out the door.

The housekeeper ignored Mr. Wang's attitude, and hurriedly followed him, "Go slowly, Mr. Wang, I will definitely tell our master every word."

Mr. Wang ignored it at all, and strode away.

When Mr. Wang went out, people waiting outside the door flocked.

"Master Wang, what did Master Huang say?"

"My lord, have you seen Master Huang?"

"My lord, say something..."

These people are all dignitaries in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have great influence in Nanzhili, especially in the Yingtianfu area. Naturally, there are still many people who did not come, so they sent their servants to keep an eye on them.

No matter what, Fang Kongxuan's actions aroused their uneasiness, and they were desperately and frantically inquiring about the news, wanting to know what the governor's yamen was going to do and what to do.

Mr. Wang ignored everyone and got on the sedan chair and went back.

Mrs. Wang sat in the sedan chair with a sullen face and indifferent eyes, all the wrinkles on his face showed a stern look.

He has been through the officialdom for a long time, and he has a clear and clear view of the officialdom. What worries him the most is the emperor who should be locked in the deep palace and let the civil officials fool him!

"Leaving the palace..."

Elder Wang whispered, raised his eyelids and looked forward, his eyes were shining brightly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Their royal family has been a powerful family for generations in the south of the Yangtze River, with a profound heritage, and they must not be allowed to be slaughtered by the emperor, let alone be completely surrendered and annexed like Beizhili!

"Your Majesty, Nanzhili is not Beizhili!"

The corners of Elder Wang's face twitched slightly, and he secretly gritted his teeth.

The butler quickly turned around and came back. Huang Liji was already sitting on a chair waiting, his face gloomy.

The butler came over, cautiously without saying a word.Huang Liji had already heard the conversation between him and Mr. Wang from behind.

After a while, the butler saw that Huang Liji was still silent, and said, "My lord, although Mrs. Wang is a little rude, but what I said is right, my lord can't just do nothing."

Why didn't Huang Chengyuan know that this was also the reason for his gloomy face. After a long while, he sighed softly and said: "As a governor, I can't do nothing, but I can't do a little bit. You say, there are people in the world who are more miserable than me. Is it a feudal official?"

The corner of the butler's mouth moved, but he still couldn't say a word in the end.

The situation in Nanzhili is extremely complicated, and even a small amount of reform will cause big troubles. It is no wonder that their masters, whoever comes, may be struggling and facing many difficulties.

Huang Liji was anxious in his heart, and his face was impatient, he said: "In the evening, you go and invite Fang Kongzhang in person, and I want to talk to him."

The butler was startled, and said, "Master, what do you want to talk about?"

Huang Liji frowned, Fang Kongzhang did exactly what he wanted, if he didn't do it, the emperor would come, I'm afraid he would also be convicted, but now it has caused a backlash, and it must be suppressed.

"I'll figure out a way, you go." Huang Chengyuan took a deep breath, already thinking about what to say to Fang Kongzhang.

At this moment, Fang Kongxuan already looked terrified.

"What did you say, the emperor is already in Yangzhou?" He opened his eyes wide and stared at Fang Yizhi in front of him.

Fang Yizhi shuddered and said, "Yes."

Fang Kongzheng quickly calmed down, staring at Fang Yizhi coldly.

He sealed off the Qinhuai River, but he didn't expect that his son would be hit by the emperor on the little Qinhuai River!

Fang Yizhi no longer cared whether his father would be angry, and asked anxiously: "Father, the emperor, will you blame your father? Blame our Fang family?"

Fang Kongzheng is also worried about this matter now. Fang Yizhi was seen by the emperor in the small Qinhuai River, and now he has sealed off the Qinhuai River. Anyone who sees it is deliberately flattering and trying to pay off the crime. He will never think that he is doing it. Perform your duties conscientiously and do your best.

Such flattery, I guess the emperor would feel disgusted, right? !

Fang Kongzheng looked at Fang Yizhi with a sullen face and eyes like lightning, and said coldly: "The emperor should still be in Yangzhou now, you go home immediately, and you are not allowed to come out without my permission! Also, this year Don’t take the imperial examination anymore, and tell you that those cronies are not allowed to participate this year, if you make trouble in the imperial examination, don’t blame your father for being merciless!”

The corner of Fang Yizhi's mouth twitched, and he said anxiously: "I have already notified them before I came."

Fang Kongxuan's heart was filled with anger, his face darkened when he heard this, and he snorted coldly: "Go back immediately!"

Fang Yizhi was still uneasy, worried that the emperor's anger would anger the Fang family, seeing his father's face, he still raised his hand respectfully, and retreated.

The master secretary kept watching, and when Fang Yizhi left, he stepped forward and said, "My lord, the secret letter was reported in time, and it should be time to make amends."
