The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Chapter 50 Chapter 1 Paparazzi

Fang Qin struggled in the room by herself, but because she was extremely sleepy, she fell asleep for a while.After waking up, his mind was much clearer, so he decided to find Jia Amnesty.

Fang Qin originally thought that to the extent that Jia She hated him, he would definitely be refused entry.Fang Qin deliberately raised his voice to speak to the messenger, in order to let people know that he had approached Jia Amnesty but was refused.Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was immediately allowed to enter the Zhizheng Hall.

It seems that Jia Amnesty had expected that he would look for him, otherwise the petty officials would not have dared to make such a decision without authorization.

Fang Qin had a bad premonition, and his whole body entered a cautious state of preparations, while he walked in steadily from behind.

After entering the Zhizheng Hall, Fang Qin found that all the censors were there, Qin Zhonglu was standing beside Jia She, and the rest of the censors were seated on both sides according to their rank and seniority.

Jia Amnesty actually invited all the censors to discuss the matter, but he refused to tell him. This was obviously to instigate and threaten these colleagues to exclude him.

Fang Qin was very angry.

After a moment of delay, he forbearance stepped forward to salute Jia Amnesty.

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Fang Qin. The old enemy must be extremely jealous when they meet. They dare not offend to see the first-rank Yushi doctor, but it is okay to stare at Fang Qin.

Fang Qin was very uncomfortable by everyone's eyes, but he quickly found a way to comfort himself in his heart.When Jia She said to him that he was exempt from courtesy, he raised his head righteously, with an attitude of "I'm justified and I'm not afraid of anyone".

"What's the matter with you?" Jia Amnesty lowered his eyes and leisurely picked up the tea leaves floating in the tea bowl with the tea lid.

Fang Qin cupped his hands and said angrily: "My lord yesterday arranged for the officials to sort out the archives of the Yushitai over the years. There are quite a lot. The officials, Ge Qinglai and others sorted it out overnight, but they only completed one out of ten. [-]. Now that Jia Chengyin has been deposed, Ge Qinglai and Liang Leyun have left, it is really difficult for the four of them to complete the task together, but now it is really difficult for the subordinates to complete it tomorrow with the strength of one person."

Jia Amnesty didn't even look at Fang Qin, put down the teacup in his hand and just said he knew.

Fang Qin was in a daze because he didn't sleep all night, and early in the morning, he was dismissed by his colleagues and squeezed out by everyone.She has been enduring the anger accumulated in her heart, and was irritated by Jia Amnesty's attitude.

"Forgive me for offending you, but tell the truth. My lord summoned all the officials at Yushitai, but I didn't summon you. Why? Ask yourself, I have always done my duty at Yushitai all these years, and I have never made any mistakes. My lord, just because I hated my subordinates for joining my lord yesterday, I shouldn't avenge my personal revenge publicly, relying on your official prestige as a first-rank official, and joined forces with all the censors to force you to leave this official." After Fang Qin finished speaking, he stalked in disbelief. neck.

Qin Zhonglu held up the roster in his hand, "You have been late for eight days in a row, can you still be conscientious of your duties?"

Hearing this, the other censors made a slight sound of sneering.

Fang Qin's face turned pale, and he hurriedly explained: "That's because the lower officials have other supervisory duties, so there was some delay."

"Tell me what kind of official business it is." Qin Zhonglu asked.

Fang Qin became embarrassed, faltering.

Qin Zhonglu immediately reprimanded him for acting recklessly, "I think you are just pretending to be self-serving, looking for reasons to excuse yourself! Since it is a business, why can't you explain it clearly. You think Yushitai can come whenever you want The place?"

Fang Qin pursed his lips, gritted his teeth and admitted: "Just say it, it's not a big deal. The lower official sent someone to follow Mr. Yushi doctor. Because I don't have any extra horses, I can't get into the gate of Yushitai, so I don't know what to do." be late."

Follow the doctor censor! ?This is too bold!

Everyone present gasped and looked at Fang Qin in amazement.They knew that Fang Qin was a thorn in the side, so daring as hell.But he didn't expect that he could even do such disrespectful things.

"What's wrong with Doctor Yushi that you want to follow her?" Qin Zhonglu asked.

"The lower official has already given the tribute to the sage. You don't need to worry about Mr. Song. I, Fang Qin, do things frankly and frankly, for the sake of the country and the people, and have a clear conscience. On the contrary, Mr. Yu Shi, you have summoned all the officials here today, but why did you call the officials here? The official ruled it out, why." Fang Qin said angrily.

Jia Shefang slowly raised his eyes to look at Xiaqin, sneered, and ordered Qin Zhonglu to let everyone disperse, and he turned to work in the side hall.

Seeing that Jia Amnesty ignored him, Fang Qin was furious, "Your Excellency, dare to do this!"

"Slap!" Qin Zhonglu glared at Fang Qin, and immediately ordered the little official to slap Fang Qin.

Fang Qin's face immediately turned red and swollen, he covered his face and looked at Qin Zhonglu in disbelief, "Why hit me?"

Qin Zhonglu pointed to the tip of Fang Qin's nose: "By making outrageous words, you offend your superiors and are disrespectful. Asking someone to slap you in public is still light, but it's just to make your memory long, and if you do it again in the future, it's more than that." It's over."

Qin Zhonglu snorted coldly and walked away.

The rest of the censors whispered and looked at Fang Qin mockingly.

Fang Qin blushed and was furious. He turned to look at these people who were watching him coldly, and hated them even more, accusing them of following the wind and acting servilely, disregarding the most upright duty of the Grand Duke Yu Shi!

Liang Leyun originally wanted to remind Fang Qin for the sake of his predecessors.However, as soon as he entered the door, he was full of hostility, and it was even more difficult to explain at this moment.

When he heard him accuse everyone of being filthy, he became even more annoyed, "Have you figured out the facts, so you just point at us?"

"I saw your words and deeds just now, and you still want to justify something. It's just that you are spineless at the mercy of Mrs. Jia. Once you are pushed out, you will think that I am Fang Qin, so you are afraid, dreaming!" Fang Qin exclaimed angrily. He spat at Liang Leyun, then walked away.

Liang Leyun was so angry that he wanted to call him an argument, but was stopped by everyone.

"I can't bear to see him talking about justice every day. He is the only one who is clean and we are all dirty? Why do you care about such a person? Let him go."

Ge Qinglai also pulled Liang Leyun to persuade him, "I think he's crazy, let's stop being kind and let him be righteous and clean up."

Everyone laughed and echoed, telling Liang Leyun not to be stupid again, such a reckless person would easily lead to disaster.What's more, Fang Qin is still so irrelevant today.

"I used to think of him as something extraordinary, and I admired his unwavering political character, but now I see myself really blind." Ge Qinglai frowned and sighed, then dragged Liang Leyun to join the crowd went.

The more Fang Qin thought about it in the room, the more angry he became. He touched his obviously swollen face, but he couldn't swallow the breath.

The emperor just rejected his memorial.Fang Qin knew that if he went to sue now, he would be too uninterested, so he thought of Dai Quan.

Fang Qin immediately wandered around the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and when he saw other ministers coming and going, he quickly turned his back and found a place to hide.After finally waiting for Dai Quan to show up, he hurriedly went up to greet him, and told Dai Quan that he had to help find his son outside the palace last time.

Dai Quan smiled and nodded, thanking Fang Qin for his hard work, "If we have a chance to go out of the palace on another day, we will go and have a look at the child. If it is suitable, we will recognize him. But after the child joins our family, he will change his surname to Dai , he will serve as an ancestor in the future, and no longer recognize his parents, is he willing?"

"It's all agreed, of course I am willing. Their family can't eat anymore. Thanks to Eunuch Dai's kindness, they have a chance to survive." Fang Qin hurriedly saluted and thanked Dai Quan for the life-saving money on behalf of the family.

Dai Quan liked Fang Qin's trick very much, no matter who could be praised and saluted by upright officials, it was something that made people feel extra respectable.What's more, Dai Quan's identity is still a eunuch, a rootless person who is looked down upon by others, naturally he likes these more.

Dai Quan happily helped Fang Qin, telling him not to be polite to him.When I looked at him, I found that his face was red and swollen, and I asked why.

Fang Qin covered his face, and briefly explained how he was beaten in embarrassment and indignation.

Dai Quan is a master who talks nonsense when he sees people and talks nonsense. When he heard that Fang Qin was wronged by this, he wanted to feel wronged for him.But Dai Quan knew that Jia Amnesty was very trusted in front of the emperor, so he kindly comforted Fang Qin to be patient.

"Lord Jia is not easy to deal with. Don't say anything else, just rely on Master Song's respect for him, and you won't be able to move him. Don't blame our family for talking about this matter, stop the loss in time, and take care of yourself. That's the best policy," Dai Quan advised. road.

Fang Qin said angrily: "The Holy Majesty rejected my petition, and I naturally know the truth. I have always been upright, do things with my head down, and do my best. I heard the rumors outside, and I will supervise for the Holy Majesty and report to The sage decides. Now he has united with all the officials of Yushitai to take personal revenge on me, make things difficult for me, and bully me. That’s just me. I don’t fear power. Hanged on the wooden beam of Yushitai."

When Dai Quan heard this, he quickly asked Fang Qin for details, if anyone could confirm it.

Fang Qin hurriedly said: "How can I use people to prove it? Today he summoned all the censors of the Yushitai to give a lecture in the Zhizheng Hall, but he didn't call me. Everyone on the Yushitai can see it, and they are all witnesses!"

Dai Quan saw that he was a proud official of the imperial court, his face was swollen from the beating, then Jia Amnesty did too much.After all, this Fang Qin is an upright official valued by the emperor, so he read his book with a grudge, and it was embarrassing several times in private, so openly targeting Fang Qin is not just as simple as blatantly bullying others, but also slapping the emperor in the face!

Dai Quannian helped Fang Qin in his adoption of his son, and said that he would try to find an opportunity to mention his situation to the emperor.

Fang Qin couldn't help but bow and salute again.

Dai Quan told him to wait for a while, and then he took tea from the palace servants and entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The emperor was discussing the candidate for the new Taibao with the University of the Four Palaces. Someone wanted to recommend Song Xi, but Song Xi immediately rejected it.

The emperor felt that it was very suitable for Song Xi's talents to be the teacher of the three princes.However, Song Xi's reasons are also reasonable. He is young because he has less qualifications, and he is not as good as those respected old scholars. Besides, he has already served as the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture, and it is really difficult to take care of military and state affairs. Get away and educate the princes well.What's more, Song Xi is the uncle of the fifteenth prince, so he will inevitably be partial.Although the emperor valued his son-in-law very much, he also wanted to train the third son well, so he gave up the idea of ​​using Song Xi.

As a result, discussions came and went, but in the end there was no conclusion.

For Song Xi, this kind of thing related to the crown prince is his taboo, and he doesn't like to meddle too much.Moreover, he has never liked recommenders, but he likes to check and dismiss them.Therefore, throughout the conversation, he basically did not mention decisive opinions.

The emperor was hesitant about who to choose, and finally felt a headache, so he asked Cai Feiping, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, to take the post of Taibao temporarily.

Cai Feiping glanced at Song Xi and saw his indifferent appearance, so he could only secretly complain in his heart, saluted and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

"Master Cai's talents are like a sea, and his writing is like a spring flower. He is indeed worthy of this great task." Song Xijian commented.

The emperor laughed and said yes.

Cai Feiping became even more troubled, and cried out again in his heart.Mr. Song knew that he had no intention of fighting with the crown prince, so he still pushed him up, which really made him have no peaceful life in the future.

At this time, Dai Quan served tea.The emperor drank the tea and sighed that it was delicious.Give the four lovers a seat, and ask them to taste this tea.

It has been ten days since the tea was changed, and the emperor only praised it today. Dai Quan understood that it was because the emperor was in a good mood today.It seems that the matter of Fang Qin's release of the ginseng book was not taken into consideration by the emperor at all.

Dai Quan laughed and whispered to the emperor that he saw Fang Qin just now.

The emperor said "Oh" and asked Dai Quan, "What is he here for?"

"I didn't say much, my face was swollen, and I hesitated for a while. I thought I came to apologize, but I was persuaded by the old slave to go back." Dai Quan said.

Song Xi held the teacup and pretended to drink tea, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he kept staring at Dai Quan and the emperor from the corner of his eye.

The emperor was really interested, and asked Dai Quan why Fang Qin's face was so swollen.

Dai Quan hurriedly relayed Fang Qin's words to the emperor verbatim.But Dai Quan is also well versed in the principle of self-protection, even if he intends to help Fang Qin, his "help" is nothing more than a word of mouth, and the rest of the original words are reproduced.Because once this matter aroused the taboo of the emperor, at most he would make the mistake of spreading rumors without discernment, and he could still shirk his responsibility and protect himself wisely.

When the emperor heard that Jia Amnesty had openly summoned the officials of Yushitai to exclude Fang Qin, and instigated his subordinate Qin Zhonglu to beat the court officials, he was so angry that he couldn't even drink tea.He had just been considerate of Jia Amnesty's difficulty, and ordered to save his face.But Jia Amnesty turned his head and was ungrateful, frantically crowding out and beating the honest officials he valued.This is no longer a question of who is right and who is wrong, it is Jia She's arrogant and disrespectful attitude that makes the emperor hate him.

The emperor immediately ordered Jia Amnesty and Qin Zhonglu to have an audience.

Song Xi and the others saw that the emperor was in a rage, and they didn't dare to say anything, but they all stood up, not knowing whether to stay or retreat.

The emperor felt that since Jia She had reprimanded his valued courtiers in public, there was no need for him to save face for Jia She, so he asked Song Xi and others to stay, so that Jia She could feel what it was like to be scolded in public.

After Jia She and Qin Zhonglu knelt in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and finished the ceremony, the emperor didn't ask them to get up.After snorting twice, he asked Jia Amnesty about Fang Qin.

Song Xi glanced at Jia Amnesty, couldn't hide the smile on his lips, and looked away sideways.

Cai Feiping was about to worry about Song Xi and Jia She, because he knew that Song Xi valued Jia She very much, and he was close to Jia She in private.Still thinking about today's matter, if Song Xi begged for mercy, it might not go well, and was worried, but happened to find a contemptuous smile on Song Xi's face.

Cai Feiping was taken aback. Could it be that the relationship between Song Xi and Jia She was just pretending that he didn't like Jia She at all?Cai Feiping's heart trembled, and he was a little chilled. He was very afraid that he would be used and rejected by Song Xi in the future.

"In charge of laws, documents, and archives... Participate in court meetings, inspect public officials and officials, enforce laws and regulations, and investigate illegal activities. These are the responsibilities of the censor. The minister only let Fang Qin do his job, and did not do anything excessive. request, and did not coerce the public to report privately." Jia She explained.

Qin Zhonglu hurriedly agreed with the proof with a trembling voice.

Seeing Jia She's calm expression, the emperor assured him that he had not acted arrogantly, and then his anger subsided a little.

"Then you summoned all the officials of Yushitai to discuss the matter, but you didn't call Fang Qin, what's the reason? Isn't this a move to squeeze him out?"

Jia Amnesty explained earnestly: "Yesterday, I asked Fang Qin and the other four to sort out and archive the old case files of Yushitai. When I came to Yushitai this morning, I heard that there were too many files, and Fang Qin and the other four couldn't finish them all. After Jia Chengyin was demoted, Ge Qinglai and Liang Leyun took the initiative to ask for instructions to move out of Fang Qin's house.

The minister thought about reassigning the matter, and it was inevitable that Fang Qin and others stayed up late last night to process the case files, so he called all the censors to discuss together and renegotiate the method of assigning tasks.Originally, Fang Qin was called, but the clerk who sent the message came back and said that Fang Qin was asleep at the desk and could not be woken up.I thought it was due to his overwork last night and it was not appropriate to embarrass him, so I decided to let him have a good rest and let other people handle it. "

When the emperor heard that Jia Amnesty was bullying others, he publicly avenged his personal revenge.Obviously, he is a good superior who cares about his subordinates, adapts in time according to the actual situation, and changes the handling method.

The emperor hurriedly asked Jia Amnesty if these words were true.

Qin Zhonglu hurriedly said: "That's true. The ministers and all the censors at Yushitai can testify. All the ministers couldn't help but admire Mr. Jia for repaying grievances with virtue and being a gentleman. But he never expected that Fang Qin's servant would be indiscriminate. Rushing into the Zhizheng Hall, openly offending Mr. Jia. It is extremely rude!

Weichen couldn't stand it at the time, and ordered someone to slap his mouth, but it was just a slap, warning him to improve his memory.The censors also wanted to explain the misunderstanding to him, but he was stubborn and didn't listen at all, instead accusing Wei Chen and others of being snobbish youngsters who are stalking others. "

The emperor narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Dai Quan.

Ever since he heard what Jia She said, Dai Quan was worried that there was something wrong with this matter, and that Fang Qin had tricked him.At this moment, I regretted everything in my heart, and quickly knelt down, explaining that he didn't know about it, and all the words were conveyed from Fang Qin's mouth.

The emperor immediately ordered someone to summon Fang Qin, and at the same time sent someone to Yushitai to inquire, and finally it was confirmed that what Qin Zhonglu said was true.All the officials of Yushitai can also confirm that the purpose of Jia She's summoning them is indeed to assign tasks and help Fang Qin share and organize the files.And Fang Qin's reckless words and deeds to slander everyone indiscriminately were also confirmed.

The emperor was furious and asked Fang Qin what to explain.

Fang Qin knelt on the ground and was also dumbfounded, never expecting such a situation.That Jia She went to such a state in the city, which led him into a trap step by step.

Fang Qin's face was pale, unable to speak.

"I think it's a light slap for you. What's the point of making amends? It's true that you deliberately sued with scheming. Even Dai Quan was deceived by you!"

The emperor glared at Fang Qin bitterly, suddenly Fang Qin was extremely disappointed.

Song Xi stood up at this moment and said to the emperor: "After several investigations, I can't distinguish right from wrong. Fang Qin, as the censor, has the heavy responsibility of supervising the officials. He acted so arbitrarily and recklessly, and framed Zhongliang at will If these people are still staying at Yushitai, how can the officials feel at ease to work for them?"

"The ministers will second the proposal." When Cai Feiping heard Song Xi's words, his heart warmed up, and he ordered the two great scholars to express their opinions at the same time.

Fang Qin gritted his teeth angrily, kowtowed to the emperor, and shouted: "Since I inspected and realized my mistakes, and judged a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, I deserve to die, and I am willing to accept the crime!"

"You are full of confidence." Jia She sneered and sighed.

If you sincerely apologize for your mistakes, you will feel guilty to some extent, and you will not be as righteous as he is, with a heroic sacrifice.

Seeing that Fang Qin pleaded guilty in time, the emperor had some recognition for him.Hearing Jia She's emotion suddenly, the emperor thought it was wrong after thinking about it.The sound was so loud and sonorous all of a sudden, how could there be any sign of admitting a mistake?

"Fang Qin, are you dissatisfied?" the emperor asked.

"Your majesty, I am willing to be punished. If the emperor wants me to die, I will die before the emperor without hesitation."

The emperor frowned: "What do I want you to do? If you know your mistake sincerely, you can make amends to Jia Aiqing."

Fang Qin was indeed stubborn, but it was hard to find such a strong-tempered courtier.So the emperor felt a little bit reluctant to see that although he had made a mistake.Then he felt that as long as Fang Qin pleaded guilty to Jia She, it would be fine to give him one last chance.

"I don't dare to be a minister. I just hope that next time Lord Fang sends someone to follow me, he can follow behind his car generously. You don't have to turn around and run away with guilt when you see people turning around. Once my subordinates mistakenly regard you as a It's bad for a bad person to accidentally injure someone's life." Jia She said lightly.

When the emperor heard that there was still something to follow, he glared at Fang Qin, then at Qin Zhonglu, and asked him why he didn't explain this matter just now.

Qin Zhonglu hurriedly apologized and said: "Whatever the Holy Majesty asks, I will answer, and I dare not say anything else."

"Confused, how can you wrong your lord for nothing!" The emperor turned to look at Fang Qin angrily, hoping that he could make a good statement.

"The minister is just doing his best to check his job." After Fang Qin said, he knelt there motionless like a statue.

The emperor saw that Fang Qin didn't understand his painstaking efforts at all, and immediately became angry, "It seems that you are really unconvinced, and I want you to be convinced today! Just say what you said in the previous memorial, which one is true. You said that the neighbor Mysterious rumors confuse the public, so tell me, tell me which one of these books is a lie, is it a false statement?"

Fang Qin was silent for a while, anyway, seeing that the current situation is difficult to turn around, why not just make it clear that even if he dies, he will be a loyal minister to advise the king of the county, so he stubbornly opened his mouth.

"It's the above-mentioned so-called informants A, B, C, and D...whose words are true and false, and who knows that he is not maliciously fabricating to lead readers astray. Furthermore, Mr. Jia and the author of the book Collusion into adultery, exchanging information, is already a fact that everyone in the streets and alleys praise. I don't understand why the emperor doesn't punish this treacherous minister!"

"You..." The emperor pointed to Fang Qin, and really wanted to tell him that every informant on the secrets of the neighbor's family had well-documented evidence, which was solid evidence.However, the secret of the neighbor's family will affect the whole body, and this matter must be kept secret, so he can only bear it and not say it at the moment.

The emperor really wanted to strangle Fang Qin to death at this moment, but he boasted just now, wanting Fang Qin to be convinced, how could he go back on what he said.

The emperor was a little embarrassed for a while.

"Fang Qin, you don't have any evidence against me, but you can still be so confident, don't you think it's funny." Jia Amnesty spoke in a timely manner, alleviating the embarrassment of the emperor, "Why do you call me a traitor? With the ability to speak, can I also say that you are a traitor, and the civil and military officials of the whole court are all traitors?"

The emperor felt that what Jia She said was reasonable, he just said anything with his own mouth, Fang Qin was still confident and became a righteous person.

"What evidence do you want? Isn't it enough for so many people outside to tell you about your troubles! The so-called world is so big that there is no impenetrable wall, so you must not be innocent." After Fang Qin and Jia She argued, they told the emperor He said, "Your Majesty, as long as you send someone to investigate outside, you can easily find evidence that Mr. Jia and the author of the book colluded."

Fang Qin originally sent someone to follow Jia She, just thinking that he could follow Jia She's line and catch the identity of the book writer next door.It's a pity that he hasn't caught a fox's tail for so many days, otherwise he wouldn't be in the situation he is today.

"After all you talk about, you still don't have any evidence. Whether the neighbor's secrets are deceiving the public, whether I really have colluded with the scholar, etc., you rely on hearsay. Since there is no evidence, why are you so righteous and unthinking You framed me with your stupidity, your stupidity, your ignorance?" Jia Amnesty was really disgusted by Fang Qin.

Fang Qin still refused to accept it, "Master Jia is clearly stigmatized, I just—"

"The law is not noble, and the rope is inflexible. What the law imposes, the wise cannot say goodbye, and the brave dare not fight." Song Xi's voice hit like a icy winter wind, and Fang Qin's words were frozen to a halt. if.

Fang Qin looked at Song Xi in bewilderment, not understanding why he suddenly said this to him.

"If you want Jia Amnesty to be punished, you should cite real evidence and rule him by law. Instead of just using a family's words and leaping above legal principles. Could it be that your name is Fang Qin?" Song Xi paused, his indifferent eyes finally Turning around, squinting at Fangqin.

Fang Qin felt bad, and his heart hung up, but he still couldn't help pricking up his ears to listen to Song Xi's next words.

"It's called Da Zhou Lu?"

Song Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and spoke warmly, but the sneer at the corner of his mouth was so constricted that Fang Qin panicked.

Song Xi was satirizing him with only one mouth to participate in the performance, and he was suspected of jumping above the national law.Even the emperor didn't dare to claim that he was the law, and he often read the words "the emperor breaks the law and the common people are the same crime", emphasizing the importance of governing the country fairly and according to the law.

When Song Xi said that he was Da Zhou Lu, he was saying in a disguised form that he was more detached than the emperor.

Fang Qin dared not accept such a rebellious hat.

Fang Qin panicked, with white lips, hurriedly kowtowed to the emperor, explaining that he had no intention of shaking the law at all.

The emperor had long been so angry with Fang Qin that he had nothing to say. Seeing that Song Xi and Jia She were fighting against Fang Qin with reason and evidence, he felt relieved.Immediately decreed to depose Fang Qin, slapped him a hundred times, let him remember the pain of being slapped in the face for nonsense!

"Your Majesty, I am not afraid of being beaten, and I am not afraid of death. Although I have not found evidence and committed the crime of negligence, it is really because I am weak and helpless. The law of heaven is clear. I believe that one day the treacherous minister will Retribution! It doesn’t matter if he is protected by the powerful and powerful, the emperor will one day understand the loyalty and patriotism of the minister’s risk of death and advice.”

Before Fang Qin was dragged down, he hurriedly said these words.He knocked his head three times in a row, and cried bitterly to show his loyalty.His words are sonorous and his justice is fierce. If someone who doesn't know it sees him, he must really feel that he is very wronged.

The emperor suddenly felt that the upright official whom he named and praised seemed to be mentally ill, and was moved to kill him. He turned his head to look at Song Xi with wide-eyed eyes.

Song Xi hurriedly advised the emperor to appease his anger. Although Fang Qin was wrong in remonstrating recklessly, if the emperor easily took his life because of this, the impact would definitely be bad.

Fang Qin has the reputation of being the most upright official in the dynasty, and he is extremely popular among the people. If the punishment is too severe and he kills him, it will definitely arouse the anger of the people and discourage the hearts of all the officials.

Jia Amnesty also agreed, saying that the emperor must keep Fang Qin alive for the time being.

The emperor also understood this truth in his heart.But seeing that the two ministers he trusted were so considerate of him and dealt with it decently, they were very appreciative.In particular, Jia Amnesty was able to let go of his personal grudges and focus on the overall situation. The emperor was very pleased.

Fang Qin returned to Yushitai when it was time to shift duty in the evening.

Both sides of his face were swollen and fat, blue and purple, he didn't dare to look at anyone, so he walked with his head down, and went back to the room to pack his things under the urging of the official staff, and he was embarrassed. He stumbled and ran away with something in his arms.

It caused the censors to burst into laughter.

……

Five days later, the sixth issue of My Neighbor's Mystery came out.

This issue was planned by Fang Zhenglu, revealing the story of a well-known fifth-rank official in Yuzhou who stopped his wife and remarried, and the story of a fifth-rank general who killed his wife to seek his general.There is nothing to say about the previous incident, forcing his wife to go out to eat fast and chant Buddhism, while he pampered the housekeeper who came in at home, wearing bright red.The latter one can be described in detail, and it is somewhat different from the real story of "killing his wife and asking for a general", but there are also similarities.

This is a general guarding the southern border. He fought the battle against the Zhenyan tribe with the Zhennan Great General, and he made a contribution. As a result, someone revealed that his wife's background was actually a member of the Zhenyan tribe.That woman fled to Dazhou with her mother back then. Although she was innocent, but in order to appease his subordinates, justify his loyalty and establish prestige among his subordinates, the fifth-rank general simply took the initiative to give birth to him. The wife of the son and daughter was killed.

Jia Amnesty also reported these two events to Song Xi before publishing them.

Song Xi felt that the matter was not a big deal, so he asked Jia She to deal with it casually. The Empress Dowager and Empress have always attached great importance to the issue of belittling and slandering women.As long as the two of them like it, it's useless even if the emperor has opinions.Besides, the emperor doesn't care much about such miscellaneous matters.

So the sixth issue of My Neighbor's Secret News reported these two incidents safely.Books were changed to be sold in Heina Baichuan Bookstore.

People began to discuss the phenomenon of 'women are easy to suffer'.

Furthermore, because there is an upright official whose morals are corrupted in the book, everyone can't help mentioning that another more famous upright official who just had an accident in Beijing is Fang Qin who was suddenly demoted.

Usually at times like this, there will always be an insider who releases news about Fang Qin's participation in Jia Amnesty and the secrets of his neighbors.So everyone was discussing Fang Qin's matter at the same time as the sixth issue of "Secret Stories Next Door".Those who supported it said that "Secrets Next Door" will definitely bring harm in the future.There are also objections, as loyal readers of "Secrets of Neighbors", they firmly believe in the fairness of the author's investigation.

As for Jia Amnesty, everyone has the same opinion on the 'traitor', and curses.

The folks have always recognized Fang Qin's clean name. After all, Fang Qin's words and deeds of incorruptibility and helping the poor did not happen overnight, but for decades.Most of the people only thought that Fang Qin had offended the nobles with his honest words and outspoken advice.

Such examples abound in all dynasties, honest and honest loyal ministers will be suppressed and framed by treacherous ministers because they can't say good things.Fortunately, Fang Qin did not lose his life, and everyone believed that he would have a chance to return to his post in the future.

There are still many people who have been helped by Fang Qin, and now they go to comfort Fang Qin with chickens and ducks.Fang Qin insisted not to, Ling Ran was upright, and in turn gained a new level of respect from Xu people.

Another seven days passed.

Everyone's hot discussion about Fang Qin gradually faded away.

When everyone thought Fang Qin's matter was over.

Only then did Jia Amnesty start to 'deal with' him.

Today, Heizhu and Liu Xianglian, who went to Nanzhou City to investigate, came back and reported everything about Fang Qin with Jia Amnesty in detail.

The two wives that Fang Qin had abandoned before were all gone now.One died of illness, and the other ran away from home in the evening and hanged himself on a crooked neck tree at the head of his village.

The natal families of the two wives all disliked that their daughters were dismissed in the name of "unfilial piety", and they didn't even do the funeral, so they buried her quietly without publicizing it.

So the whole thing is quiet.

And when Fang Qin divorced his wife, it was quiet and did not cause a sensation.It was all because before he divorced his wife, he had a conversation with his wives' natal families.Fang Qin is very eloquent and has a solid tongue. He will take his soon-to-be-divorced wife and accuse her of wrongdoing in front of her natal family. .

In the end, with Fang Qin's eloquent eloquence, the woman's natal family blamed themselves and felt ashamed. They were very convinced by Fang Qin's words and despised her daughter's unvirtuous and unfilial piety. Finally, she brought her married daughter back home in shame. home.Fang Qin, on the other hand, will express his "benevolence and righteousness" when he is still at the end, and he will take the initiative to say that he will not publicize the matter of divorcing his wife because of "unfilial piety".As long as his natal family is willing to keep it a secret, he is also unwilling to do anything to ruin a woman's reputation.So when these natal families were leaving, they actually thanked Fang Qin for his benevolence and kindness.

Liu Xianglian: "The reason why we know that these two women are not at fault is all because we found out from the old people of the county government. We also found the maids who served these two women, and no one can tell the truth. The two women have actually done some unfilial faults. Dutiful housekeepers, dutiful, filial to their parents-in-law, and considerate to their husbands, they are really gentle and virtuous. On the other hand, the mother likes to throw fire, and likes to find fault with her daughter-in-law. Fang Qin To show filial piety, they divorced their wives. And these servants dare not speak ill of Fang Qin, he is well-known, and no one dares to slander the upright officials casually, and some of them will be abused if they speak."

How hateful.

After Jia Amnesty sorted out what Liu Xianglian had recorded one by one, he shook his head helplessly, and smiled instead of anger.
