Chapter 1402: Emperor Heart
Emperor Hongzhi said he would leave immediately, without any hesitation.
Now, after experiencing the new policy, the censors have suffered heavy losses.
Because of this, as long as the emperor's behavior does not invade the people too much, there is no fear of someone saying anything.
The eunuchs were ordered to go to various ministries and asked them to send people to follow their escorts.
This has made many people interested.
Then Xishan is a place beyond the law, and God knows what is happening inside.
Many people want to see the current situation of the emperor.
Of course, there are also many people who want to watch jokes.
Now the new policy is a life-threatening one's life.
Since Ouyang Zhi was appointed Minister of Personnel, this new policy has a tendency to expand. This is the case with the selection of officials as officials this time.
There are many opponents of this, but not many people stand up and say they are against it.
Everyone was watching coldly, just waiting for a joke to come out.
Suddenly, hundreds of ministers selected by them set off and went to the Daming Gate to pick them up. Then, a vast team headed towards the west.
Emperor Hongzhi sat in the carriage and was halfway through the journey, and suddenly remembered Ouyang Zhi's report on selecting officials as officials, so he ordered Xiao Jing beside the carriage and said, "Are you following Ouyang Qing's family?"
Xiao Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Ouyang's ministry is busy at the Ministry of Personnel. On the side of the Ministry of Personnel, Jiao Fang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, has arrived."
Jiao Fang...
Emperor Hongzhi frowned.
He has some impression of this person.
As early as the Chenghua period, Grand Secretary Wan An felt that Jiao Fang was not good at learning, so he said to the people around him: "If you don't learn, you will be a bachelor's degree."
At that time, Jiao Fang was just an editor of the Hanlin Academy and had a very humble status. This means that even a person like Jiao Fang could be an official in the Hanlin Academy so ignorant.
The Grand Secretary Wan An was the man of Concubine Wan, who was powerful for a while.
But this editor Jiao was furious after hearing the words of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Wan'an.
When ordinary people encounter this situation, they will naturally swallow their anger. After all, one is a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the other is just a small Hanlin editor.
But Jiao Fang didn't say anything, but did not confront Wan'an head-on. Instead, he looked at Wan'an's confidant Peng Hua and said to people everywhere: "This must be Peng Hua's calculating me behind the scenes. If I can't become a bachelor's student, I will assassinate Peng Hua on Chang'an Road."
After all, Peng Hua is a gentleman. When he met such a "hero", he probably said something in his heart. He was shot while lying down. He was timid and was very scared after hearing this, so he quickly passed the letter to the Grand Secretary Wan'an.
Wan'an eventually had to join Jiao Fang as a bachelor's lecturer.
After that, Jiao Fang made trouble for Peng Hua and others every now and then. After all, it has proved that Wan'an. Although Peng Hua's group of people are of high status and powerful status, they are all soft persimmons. Since they are soft persimmons, why don't you kill them?
In this way, Jiao Fang was in the Chenghua Dynasty of the paper-paste cabinet and clay-sculpted Shangshu.
When Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he changed the atmosphere of the Hua Dynasty and began to liquidate the Wan'an, Peng Hua and others appointed by Emperor Chenghua and Concubine Wan. After counting, he decided, and he was the main force of the Wan'an group such as Wan'an, not Liu Jian, not Li Dongyang, but Jiao Fang.
With this status and qualifications in the world, Jiao Fang, who has revenged his private revenge, continued to rise to the top.
Emperor Hongzhi had a good impression of him.
Jiao Fang had probably never said anything bad about the new policy. In fact, as long as he was given an official position, he would not say anything bad about it. Moreover, he had already bought dozens of acres of Chinese houses in Xincheng.
Emperor Hongzhi was surprised when he heard the word Jiao Fang, and he felt a lot of emotion.
"I haven't paid attention to this person for a long time, and I never expected that he is the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
"Your Majesty, you forgot." Xiao Jing smiled: "That was recommended by the court in the 17th year of Hongzhi."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded, then looked at Xiao Jing and shook his head with a smile: "I am older and more forgetful. This is a straightforward person and loyal country, so I will definitely share my worries."
Xiao Jing showed a meaningful smile without comment. At the level of the Left Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Jing could no longer comment in front of the emperor at will.
Moreover, Jiao Fang is a vengeful person. A few years ago, Jiao Fang was the Minister of Rites. Because he was eager to show off, he was blocked by Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites. He always wanted to skip Ma Wensheng and directly meet the emperor. Therefore, Jiao Fang believed that Ma Wensheng was intentionally retaliating against him, and he was behind his back every day and said bad things about Zhang Sheng. Because Zhang Sheng was from the south, Jiao Fang privately wrote an article "Southern people should not be the prime minister". In the court, every time he retreated from the southerner, Jiao Fang was overjoyed. Sometimes he wrote articles and even slandered the south and praised the north. Various conflicts intensified the north and the south, and after becoming the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, it was even more amazing.
This guy is a talented person.
Xiao Jing thought to himself, he didn't want to provoke this guy, who knew if he would lie in Chang'an Road and assassinate him?
The arrogant one is afraid of being stunned, and the stupid one is afraid of being desperate.
Emperor Hongzhi became interested in Jiao Fang, and for a moment he was very interested. He smiled and ordered Xiao Jing.
"I'll tell him to board the car and I'll talk to him about the election of officials from the Ministry of Personnel."
Xiao Jing nodded.
After a moment, Jiao Fang came.
He got into the car and seemed particularly excited.
However... this person has a dignified appearance and a majestic look on his face. Even though he showed joy, he was still solemn.
Emperor Hongzhi secretly praised it in his heart.
When Jiao Fang saw the ritual in the car, Emperor Hongzhi leaned slightly and nodded: "Sit down at your house."
Jiao Fang sat down with her body.
Emperor Hongzhi looked him up and down, and then asked slowly: "What is your opinion on the matter of selecting an official? Your family is the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel. How do you think about it?"
Jiao Fang smiled: "Your Majesty, there are a lot of grievances in the local area."
"Of course it's very big." Emperor Hongzhi said: "The Ouyang Qing family has been mentally prepared for this for a long time."
Jiao Fang said: "But the local resentment will not be directed at Ouyang Butang. They will only think that this is done by Your Majesty on purpose. If the resentment is pointed directly into the palace, I am afraid that Your Majesty will harm the Yuchi."
After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but look at Jiao Fang deeply.
Jiao Fang has something to say.
In history, only ministers have been scapegoats for the emperor, but the implication is like saying that His Majesty has scapegoats for Ouyang Zhi.
Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment, then looked at him in confusion and asked seriously: "So, do you object?"
Jiao Fang shook his head at Emperor Hongzhi.
"I have never opposed the new policy, but I just feel that it is too urgent and if something happens, it will be a big disaster."
Emperor Hongzhi gently patted the handle of the chair, slowly beat the rhythm, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked lightly: "What a disaster?"
Jiao Fang seemed very calm on her face, but she said word by word.
"Leave apart from one's destiny and virtue is a great disaster."
Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows: "But the people can live a good life."
"The people's good or bad attitude towards the Tian family comes from scholars' comments, and their impression of the emperor comes from local parents and officials."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Your family's words are not without reason."
Then, Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand to Jiao Fang.
"I'm tired, please step down."
Jiao Fang originally wanted to talk freely, but it was obvious that Emperor Hongzhi had a cold attitude and couldn't help but feel disappointed, so he left the car.
Emperor Hongzhi beat the beat gently with his fingers, Xiao Jing bowed and stood in a corner of the car. Emperor Hongzhi looked at Jiao Fang with his eyes and asked in confusion: "Is there any conflict between Jiao Fang and Ouyang Qing's family?"
Xiao Jing wanted to speak but stopped.
"You want to hide it from me?"
Xiao Jing said: "I will find a way to check it out."
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said with a certain expression: "No need to check, I know you have something in your heart."
Xiao Jing had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, I am a palace servant. How can I criticize the affairs of the foreign court at will? This... there are indeed some contradictions. Jiao Fang was the Minister of Rites a few years ago. Since then, he has served as the Left Minister of Personnel. He has gone through two dynasties. Originally, this Minister of Personnel has the most chance and has no choice but to be harmonious. Ouyang Qing's family has made great contributions, so..."
Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized that it was like this, and he couldn't help feeling disgusted: "In this way, Jiao Fang is very selfish."
Xiao Jing thought about it and then said slowly: "In addition, in the Ministry of Personnel, Ouyang's ministry, because he wanted to implement the new policy, Ouyang's ministry would do everything himself. All appointments and selection of officials were unwilling to be used. Jiao Fang once recommended many people, including his son, but in the end, they were rejected by Ouyang's ministry, so... Jiao Fang was everywhere and said, Ouyang's ministry... Ouyang's ministry... He..."
"What did he?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing didn't dare to hide it, and said truthfully.
"He's a dull fool."
Emperor Hongzhi frowned and his eyes were cold.
After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi's face returned to normal.
At this time, the carriage had reached the west mountain.
Emperor Hongzhi rushed to Xishan, so the team of the Holy Lord went straight to Xishan Research Institute.
This came so suddenly that there was no time to inform us.
Fang Jifan was sitting on the big sofa in the tea room of the institute. A Ge You lay down, drinking tea slowly. When he heard the movement outside, the servant who was serving tea and handing water on the side walked to the window and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Young Master, the Holy Lord is here, the Holy Lord is here."
"What?"
Fang Jifan suddenly stood up.
The servant urged Fang Jifan to urge him.
"The Holy Lord is here, Master, go and pick up the driver quickly. I'm afraid it will be too late. Oh, they have entered the research institute."
Fang Jifan stood up and said excitedly: "Hurry, hurry up, find me a white coat."
The servant looked at Fang Jifan with confusion.
"Master, this welcome... is wearing a white coat."
Fang Jifan was already agile, like a monkey. He personally took a white coat and put it on his body. However, he did not go downstairs to greet him. Instead, he went to the third laboratory next door. Several graduate students were sweating profusely. Fang Jifan squeezed in: "Go away and get a seat."
The students looked surprised.
Fang Jifan had already occupied the c position of the research room, facing the door, with a good view, and in front of him was a vessel, and alcohol was burning the liquid in the glassware.
