Chapter 907: Murder and Punishment(1/2)
Wang Ao couldn't continue to recite.
His lips were stammering, and finally, he fell into a deadly silence.
Emperor Hongzhi stared at him: "Wang Qing's family, what do you say?"
Wang Ao shook his face.
Everyone was surprised.
The gentry did not need them to complain, they lived a happy life.
But before, people who represented Dingxing County were also liked to be the ones who were... they were all silent.
At this moment...whatever I said, I became pale and powerless.
Wang Ao took a deep breath and finally bowed: "Old minister..." He opened his mouth with difficulty, never so powerless, but in the end, he still said: "Old minister is guilty of death, I beg your Majesty... to forgive me."
Emperor Hongzhi stared at Wang Ao, feeling extremely complicated.
Looking at Wang Ao's depressed look, Emperor Hongzhi said, "I remember that Wang Qing's family taught me to study and said that the emperor should implement benevolent government and treat the people as innocent. Do the Wang Qing's family still remember these words?"
Wang Ao was ashamed.
He was silent.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed.
After a long time, Wang Ao said, "Your Majesty, I... Me..." He seemed to have made enough courage: "The old minister was unwilling to abandon him, and he rose from the fields and was seen from the sight of the glory..."
Everyone was frightened when they heard this.
These words were clearly laid the foundation for the following words, but he was the emperor's army and the famous Minister of Personnel within the world.
Everyone's hearts were full of joy.
Even Liu Jian couldn't help but feel upset.
But Wang Ao continued, "I have served Your Majesty for thirty years. The feelings between the king and the ministers are beyond the reach of others. Your Majesty's noble virtue and love for me is like nectar. Now, the old minister's eyes are old and blurred, and he cannot take matters... I beg Your Majesty to let me return home and survive to support my old age."
Almost all the halls were blown up.
What a fair person Wang Ao is. No one is dissatisfied with his post as a ministry of Personnel. He is so upright and honest that he wants to resign today.
Emperor Hongzhi was also stunned.
He really wanted to hit Wang Ao, who is the imperial teacher. If he is facing him on the issue of the new policy, can this reform continue?
But Emperor Hongzhi did not expect that Wang Ao would be discouraged and directly sent a teacher.
Emperor Hongzhi wanted to keep him, but he stumbled for a moment, but could not speak.
Many people whispered, especially many officials who impeached Ouyang Zhi, were also a little panicked.
If the prince is like this, what can the others do?
Liu Jian's eyes sank and he immediately said, "The prince is healthy, why do you get a scholar?"
Wang Ao said discouragedly: "Now that's how it is, it's laughable by the people of the world. Please help your majesty to fulfill your ministers."
He looked like he had decided to leave, but he didn't seem to be pretending.
Fang Jifan stood aside and looked at everyone quietly.
Obviously, many people were shocked, even the three Cabinet Grand Secretary.
Fang Jifan glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be undecided.
Fang Jifan suddenly laughed: "Do you have to leave if you do something wrong?"
"What?" Many people looked at Fang Jifan in surprise.
Fang Jifan was not a joke when he started to make a fuss. After all, this was a professional. Fang Jifan laughed: "It's really ridiculous. The new law is imperative, and Dingxing County is even more borrowing the new law. The gentry and the people are all happy. However, the prince claimed that Dingxing County is in a miserable way. What's the matter now? Now... please tell me, is Dingxing County still suffering?"
This is a naked question, an aggressive one.
However... there is no sense of incongruity.
Because... Fang Jifan, a scumbag, isn't he just a person who beats the dog in the water?
Wang Ao was already ashamed and wanted to steal the land with his head, but this time, he completely surrendered and had nothing to argue about, even if Fang Jifan's words were so intense.
Fang Jifan raised his sleeves and said, "Now the truth is revealed, the truth is revealed. A scholar can go back to celebrate his old age and ignore it. From now on, the matter of honor and disgrace has nothing to do with you. Prince, do you know, if it is you and some people..."
When Fang Jifan talked about some people, many people's faces turned green.
Fang Jifan continued, "If you succeed, do you know how many gentry and people will survive without a road?"
"Now, the prince patted his butt and wanted to leave?" Fang Jifan said sternly.
Wang Ao's body trembled and he still made no sound.
He had nothing to say about how Ren Fangjifan insulted him.
Fang Jifan's words were really a bit heartbroken. After all, Wang Ao has been living in a high position, powerful and outstanding person for most of his life.
Someone wants to argue for Wang Ao...
However, Emperor Hongzhi remained silent. He had a premonition that Fang Jifan was playing something.
Wang Ao was completely disappointed at this time and said, "Since that's the case, then please ask Your Majesty to punish him."
Fang Jifan laughed: "It's OK to punish your crimes, then let's talk about your crimes. As the official of the Ministry of Personnel, you are alarmist and claim to be a pure stream and frame the loyal and kind. What is this? You are a corpse and a dog and a mouse. It's obviously good governance, but you are in a black and white way. What is this? "
Wang Ao's body trembled, and he raised his eyes. Wang Ao was a man with a very tough temper. At this time, he couldn't help saying, "Since death sentence, then, please punish me for the death sentence. Your Majesty... I have no regrets."
...
The ministers in the palace have given up treatment...
Fang Jifan laughed again: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Nothing to fear." Wang Ao was much tougher than Fang Jifan imagined.
Fang Jifan said: "This is because you are shameless. It seems that I read you right. You are the same person as me..."
“…”
Wang Ao was almost fainting. When was he the same person as you, Fang Jifan, and he would spit out an old blood, so he would rather die now and not be ashamed to live in the world.
Fang Jifan said: "But, you are not afraid of death, you are not afraid of death. How dare you ask the prince, are you afraid of shame?"
"What?"
Fang Jifan said calmly: "Where you fall, get up from where you do something wrong, you must admit it. Just like Fang Jifan, although Fang Jifan only does the right thing, if I do something wrong like you, I will definitely reflect on myself, examine myself, try my best to correct it, instead of making mistakes like a child, you will always be a scholar. Since the prince thinks that he is right, why don't he insist? Then, if the prince thinks that he has done something wrong, why don't he correct it? It can be seen that it is harder for people to correct mistakes than death, but in our Fang Jifan's view, if a person knows his mistakes and does not correct it, he is shameless. Prince, please have some shame."
"..." Wang Ao already wanted to kill someone.
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "It's actually not difficult to change. Now, the prince is afraid that he still doesn't understand where he is wrong, right? Come on, Fang Jifan can teach you, so why not do this. Princess can take leave for a few months first. In these months, Princess is by my side. Let me tell you one by one, where the prince is wrong."
"What……"
There was an uproar in the hall.
The prince still needs you, Fang Jifan, to teach you.
This is really not as good as a scholar.
No, it's better to die.
Wang Ao's chest was undulating, as if he was furious. He knew that Fang Jifan was urging him, but he couldn't swallow his breath.
Fang Jifan said seriously: "I beg your Majesty to make the prince temporarily become the chief clerk of the son minister. The son minister will definitely teach him to be convinced!"
Emperor Hongzhi thought.
This matter is absurd.
But it made people feel curious. Emperor Hongzhi knew the nature of his master. This was a bull's temper and he recognized it. Even nine bulls could not pull him back.
Fang Jifan was afraid that he would make a mistake this time.
Wang Ao looked at Fang Jifan coldly, his chest undulating and snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, no..." Someone stood up and felt heartbroken: "What kind of person is the prince? How can he..."
"Your Majesty." Even Liu Jian couldn't stand it anymore. He and Wang Ao m had different political views, but he was somewhat impressed by Wang Ao. What's more, what a reputation Wang Ao is. If it spreads, wouldn't it be a joke?
I'm afraid this is even more uncomfortable than killing a prince.
Fang Jifan shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the prince will definitely refuse. He also wants to put on his own aphorism. He thinks he is the imperial teacher. Even if he does something wrong, he calls on the sergeant, and Your Majesty will keep him obediently..."
"Fart!" Wang Ao was furious: "I am sincere to you, how dare you insult me?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Wang Ao and then Fang Jifan. He said lightly: "Since that's the case, then, three months, just three months. If the Wang Qing family insists on their own opinions, I have nothing to say. If Master Wang wants to be a scholar, I will also beg you in three months..."
Agreed...
Everyone's chin is about to fall off.
They don't know.
What Emperor Hongzhi felt most uncomfortable was that his former master stood opposite to him. Even if Master Wang was a scholar, what if he was a scholar, would he agree with me?
Wang Ao has a great reputation and is faintly the leader of Shilin. Whether he is in the court or in the wild, with his prestige, countless people will bow to him.
To be continued...
