How to make a famous minister

Chapter 46

Wei Zhongxian fell.

The nine thousand nine hundred years old who was once all-powerful and invincible was finally thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Justice by the Lord Long Live.His godsons and grandchildren all wished to be a coward.What five tigers and five tigers, what forty monkey grandsons and five hundred righteous grandsons, have all become objects that everyone can't avoid.The government is also willing to accept the cases they usually do, such as robbing civilian women and killing people.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the wave of impeachment against Wei Zhongxian, which had been about to calm down, swept again, even higher and bigger than last time.

The Donglin Party had already collected a lot of Wei Zhongxian's criminal evidence. Looking at it now, the most active people who fought against Wei Zhongxian were not the Donglin Party, but those who relied on Wei Zhongxian, flattered Wei Zhongxian, and even those who relied on Wei Zhongxian to get to power.

Up and down the Ming Dynasty, from south to north, from east to west, there was a sound of impeachment everywhere, as if everyone was blind before, and now they found their eyelids, and opened them tremblingly with two fingers: yo, in this world! There is also a big treacherous and evil named Wei Zhongxian.

Emperor Tianqi was trembling with anger, his literate eunuchs took turns to read the papers for him, and the impeachment papers brought up were piled up box after box, and the eunuchs who were reading were so thirsty, their throats were burning, and their hearts were jumping. .

The little eunuchs couldn't take it anymore, so Emperor Tianqi asked the officials of the Imperial Academy to read it one by one.The officials of the Hanlin Academy also had a hard time studying, but they were happy in their hearts.The eunuch party is destroyed, the traitor is about to die, the Donglin Party is back in power, and the family dominates. Isn't it the day when they, the Donglin officials who had been struggling to support them, will turn around?Aren't those positions cleared out to be enjoyed by these Hanlin scholars who have worked hard for many years?

But the scrambles in the hall have nothing to do with Fan Xuanchao.Wei Zhongxian was released the next day after he was released from prison.Even the routine impeachment was suppressed, and people returned home without incident.

Naturally, they are also famous.

I heard that when Ni Houzhan returned to the Imperial College, he became very famous, and the daily banquets were like flowing water, and the queue would take two months.With Ni Houzhan's personality, it is natural that he will not refuse anyone who comes, if he wants to eat, he will eat, if he wants to keep his calligraphy, he will keep his calligraphy.

His father, Ni Yuanlu, originally thought that his son had the guts to do something important, and that he had grown up and made progress, so he was very pleased.But when he looked back, he was wandering around in the Goulan courtyard every day again, furious, grabbed him and beat him hard.

Ni Houzhan was not beaten by Jin Yiwei with a stick in the prison, but unexpectedly, when he returned home, his father pressed him on the ground and beat him with several big boards.

Fan Xuanchao's health is not good, and the environment in the prison is poor, so the wound on his back will inevitably rot and fester.After receiving home, Mrs. Zhang looked at every good piece of meat on his back, and cried into tears holding Fan Xuanchao.

Although Fan Jingwen was in Wuqiao, his heart was always in the capital, especially when he heard that Fan Xuanchao had been arrested. Even with Zhang Weixian's guarantee, he couldn't sleep day and night.

But looking forward to and looking forward to the news that Fan Xuanchao was released from prison without incident—Master Fan just ignored the injuries on Fan Xuanchao’s back that Mrs. Zhang came to complain about—he couldn’t help kneeling in front of the ancestral hall, thanking his ancestors for their protection, Smoke rises from the ancestral grave.

When Zhang Weixian's letter arrived and described in detail the ins and outs of the impeachment case, Fan Jingwen knew that Fan Xuanchao's safe release from prison this time was entirely due to luck.If His Royal Highness Xin Wang hadn't exposed Wei Zhongxian's trick of stealing the beam and changing the post on the spot, let alone Yang Lian going in, the Donglin Party would be hit hard, and even Fan Xuanchao would not be able to escape from it alone.

Even if Zhang Weixian fished him out, basically his reputation and career in the officialdom would be ruined, and at most he would be ordered by a county magistrate in this life.

But now that His Royal Highness Xin Wang intervened, not only did he have no faults, but he was also praised by Emperor Tianqi for being "young and resourceful".

Of course, Fan Jingwen would like to thank the ancestral grave for the smoke.

Fan Xuanchao and Ni Houzhan made this decision at the time, half because they really wanted to do something, and on the other hand, they were also stimulated by Lin Siye's resignation and returning to his hometown.

Lin Siye went back to his hometown, and his student did such an earth-shattering event. Of course, Lin Siye paid attention to it, and even wrote to scold him, and even asked his friends in the same department, hoping that they would help take care of him.

Now they are quite famous, Lin Siye got the news later than Fan Jingwen in his hometown in Shandong.But when he received the letter from Fan Xuanchao declaring his safety, he still couldn't help boasting to his friends that he had a good student, "I have been able to teach Fan Xuanchao and Ni Houzhan these two years, and this life is worthwhile. Of the two, Fan Hanyuan looks like a nice gentleman, but in fact he is much tougher than Ni Houzhan. Ni Houzhan seems to be unrestrained, but he has a ruler in his heart."

Fortunately, Ni Houzhan didn't know that Lin Siye gave him such a high evaluation, otherwise he would really have to hang his tail to the sky.

Fan Xuanchao was originally the eldest master, and this time he returned home, and received the highest level of treatment. Mrs. Zhang came to visit three times a day, and Mr. Chen also visited. The British government also sent people to deliver medicine. There are never fewer than three people serving in the house.

The cutest one is Fan Xuanlang, he is a small person, holding a book, sitting next to Fan Xuanchao's bed every day, reading to him, "Brother wants to take the exam and come back."

"I'm already like this. It's too pitiful for you to ask me to study." Fan Xuanchao said, "When you were sick, did mother tell you to read?"

Little friend Fan Xuanlang thought about it seriously, alas, really not, shook his head honestly, and put down the book. "My brother can't go out to play, and now he can't even read, so what's the point?" Lying on the bed, without any other things to disturb, it's a good time to read.

Fan Xuanchao thinks his younger brother is a top student!

"I can't play anymore, but Lang'er can play for me."

Fan Xuanlang shook his head, "I went to play, my brother stayed here alone, it's too miserable."

Fan Xuanchao thought about it, and it was quite miserable, so he asked Jinglou to bring a game of go, and passed the time with Fan Xuanlang.But Fan Xuanlang's technique is really bad, even if Fan Xuanchao handed him over, he couldn't win.

After a few rounds, Fan Xuanlang obediently put the chess pieces away, sat on the chair, blinked his eyes, and said, "This is not fun, let's play something else."

Fan Xuanchao propped his head up, tilted his head to see his serious and playful appearance, and wanted to laugh, "Okay, then you can sing me a song."

Fan Xuanlang hasn't learned to sing yet, since he studied with Mr. Chen, he seldom even plays with crickets.Fan Xuanlang wrinkled his nose, "Change it, brother. Lang'er can't sing."

Fan Xuanchao thought that he was beaten for real. Ni Houzhan got out of prison and enjoyed it for several days before being beaten by his father until he couldn't get out of bed. No matter what he did, he was a hundred times more real than him.Why Ni Houzhan can listen to ditties every day, and he has to drink soup, so he asked Fan Xuanlang to sing on a whim.

But Fan Xuanlang, a son of a family, had never learned any singing, so he just sang a few nursery rhymes he learned on the street: "Loyalty is destroyed, Yang Lian rises. Believe in Wanggong, supervise and be righteous."

Fan Xuanchao was taken aback when he heard that, he straightened up, and pulled the wound again, feeling the pain in his heart, but Fan Xuanchao ignored it, and asked seriously, "Where did you hear that?"

Seeing that he cared so much, Fan Xuanlang was a little at a loss, Nuo Nuo said: "It's just...it was sung by the children on the street. I listened to it twice and wrote it down."

Fan Xuanchao patted his head, "It's okay, you sang very well, but brother, I didn't expect it to be spread...it became a nursery rhyme."

The first two sentences "Loyalty is destroyed, Yang Lianqi" is reasonable, but the last two sentences "Believe in Wanggong, supervise righteousness" are a bit subtle.In this incident, it is true that people from these four aspects are more eye-catching, especially Yang Lian who sacrificed his life for justice to be impeached, and His Highness Wang Xin, who is as predictable as God.

But Fan Xuanchao always felt that this nursery rhyme was too ostentatious.If Emperor Tianqi heard it, what would he think?Emperor Apocalypse was the final one. Even if he abolished the public due to private reasons and hired Wei Zhongxian under the lobbying of the Ke family, what would he think if he was taken out of the matter of bringing down Wei Zhongxian?

Fan Xuanchao's body was raised for several months, and finally recovered after Wei Zhongxian's case was determined.Wei Zhongxian himself was sentenced to be executed in prison, and basically none of his children and grandchildren were left behind. People like Cui Chengxiu and Shi Fenglai will not only die, but also have their homes ransacked.Xu Xianchun was Wei Zhongxian's number one thug, so his death was inevitable.

The gold and silver treasures seized from the eunuchs' homes such as the Wei family and the Cui family were filled with hundreds of carts and pulled into the treasury in a mighty manner.

Fan Xuanchao was not able to see such a grand occasion, and felt quite regretful in his heart.

After all, this was the first traitorous eunuch of the Ming Dynasty that he participated in bringing down, and it was also his first attempt to change history—he thought it was his own credit for changing history.

Today, Ni Houzhan, who was better, brought Bai Yang to the door.

Ni Houzhan is already a frequent visitor to Fan Mansion, visiting Fan Mansion is like visiting his own backyard.The boys invited Ann and said, "The two young masters are fishing in the backyard."

"Fishing?" Ni Houzhan said with a smile as he walked, "It's weird, when did you dig a pond?"

To be honest, with Fan Jingwen's annual salary, how could he afford to rent a house with ponds, gardens and pavilions.

Fan Xuanchao heard Ni Houzhan's voice from a long distance away, "I don't have a pond at home, but I have the leisure and elegance of fishing."

Ni Houzhan took a look, it turned out that Fan Xuanchao asked someone to set up a large tank with these few small fish in it, and he was standing by the side fishing in style.It's a pity that Fan Xuanlang kept throwing fish food into the tank, and none of the fish caught Fan Xuanchao's hook.

Ni Houzhan laughed loudly, "You two brothers, one of you can't catch a fish, and the other is going to kill the fish. It's also interesting."

Fan Xuanlang was enjoying feeding the fish, but when he heard what Ni Houzhan said, he was afraid that he would feed the fish to death, but he still wanted to feed the fish, so he hesitated for a while.

Fan Xuanchao put down the fishing rod he made casually, and asked Ni Houzhan, "Why are you here today? Are your wounds healed?"

"Your wounds are healed, can I be okay?" Ni Houzhan urged, "Come with me and brother Bai Yang, and take you to see someone."

"Who?"

"His Royal Highness King Xin."
