The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1264
[1264. Chapter 1205 This is awesome]
The words “dismembered in thousands of pieces” came out, which really made people take a breath of cold air.
Above the temple, such words should not be spoken by the emperor.
This is a minister.
And he is still a clear figure in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Liu Yan was so frightened that he lost his mind and suddenly became confused. So he looked around, hoping…that someone could say a word for him.
But…
at this moment, all the civil and military officials in the court were completely silent, so quiet that there was no sound at all.
Everyone seemed to…hear nothing.
This sentence really shouldn’t be said.
At least, His Majesty shouldn’t have said it during the court meeting.
But…
everyone’s heart is like a mirror.
Your Majesty has just made it clear that the country governs the world with filial piety. The emperor’s great-grandmother was seriously ill, and it was a female doctor who saved her life. According to the standards of Confucius, this female doctor is naturally your Majesty’s great benefactor.
At this time, the female doctor was not at fault, but the Liu family simply broke off the engagement on the grounds that they were not adhering to women’s ethics. Breaking off the engagement is a very serious act, because it will bring shame to the woman and become a great shame and humiliation. The bad thing is the woman’s reputation, and even It will make him unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life. His Majesty is angry about this, so…it is understandable.
The Liu family…this is asking for death.
Who would have thought that this female doctor actually saved the Empress Dowager? People in this era believe in governing the country with virtue, and the highest criterion of virtue is filial piety. Anyone who offends this female doctor is seeking death.
As a filial son, what’s wrong with His Majesty saying that he was cut into pieces?
Nothing wrong.
What’s more… this female doctor seems to be the daughter of Liang Chu, the minister of official affairs.
Many people looked at Liang Chu meaningfully.
Liang Chu still had a shocked look on his face, his eyes were bulging as he looked at Liu Wenhua’s two uncles and nephews without even blinking. Thinking about it… he still hadn’t calmed down yet.
Seeing that no one spoke for him, Liu Yan became even more panicked.
He kowtowed as if pounding garlic, and said mournfully: “I beg your Majesty to spare my life.”
At this time, he did not dare to mention Wan’s death. Don’t really hit the snake and follow it with the stick. He would die without a place to bury him.
Emperor Hongzhi shook his sleeves fiercely and sneered: “This is really a family full of scum. A house full of scum. Let’s check it out. Are there any three-generation blood relatives who are officials? I’m just afraid that these people are officials.” Don’t try to harm the people. If there are any more, you will be deposed along with this Liu Yan. You keep saying that you are a saint, you claim to be a clean stream, you claim to be a scholar, but you don’t have the temper of a scholar or a minister. Get out
! When he was deposed…
Liu Yan suddenly felt that his vision went dark, as if he had been struck by lightning.
He… was deposed.
Dismissal is not a career move.
To become an official means to retire voluntarily, and to be dismissed means to be dismissed. Although they both no longer serve as officials, their meanings are completely different.
Not only did he lose his hat, he also lost his retirement benefits.
Moreover, the entire Liu family has suffered, and the nephews and nephews have lost the opportunity to take the imperial examination. Then…the Liu family is…finished.
It should be noted that the so-called heirlooms of poetry and calligraphy rely on the word fame. Without fame, this huge family fortune will be lost in the blink of an eye.
“Your Majesty…” Liu Yan cried bitterly: “Your Majesty… I will ask my nephew to immediately take back the letter of annulment. I will ask my nephew to marry Divine Doctor Liang back home. Please forgive me. …I hope your majesty will allow me to wait for a chance to remedy the situation…”
Emperor Hongzhi was actually silent.
To make up for the mistakes…
If a woman’s engagement is broken off, the harm to her will be huge. Now Liu Yan is asking to let his nephew marry Dr. Liu. Although this is difficult to eliminate the hatred in Emperor Hongzhi’s heart, but… it is not without benefits to Dr. Liu.
Emperor Hongzhi’s cognition was of course still limited by the times.
Therefore, he hesitated a little.
At this time… a sharp voice sounded in the quiet hall.
“Are you, the Liu family, worthy of marrying Dr. Liang?”
This sudden voice came.
Liu Yan was slightly stunned. He raised his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound, but it was Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan looked at himself with a smile and continued: “Who are you, you are so high up on my disciples?”
“I…” Liu Yan was already anxious, this female doctor Liu is very popular now, and now she has reached this point. For his own sake, he had to fight for it no matter what. He was just about to argue.
But someone laughed: “Hahahaha…”
Liu Yan was stunned and looked towards the laughing person.
It’s Liang Chu.
Liang Chucai was just like a dream.
He always thought that his daughter was just a little girl, studying medicine. What was the use of studying medicine?
When he heard that his daughter had cured the Queen Mother, he suddenly fell into a trance.
This is awesome.
My own daughter actually has such ability. Yes, my Liang Chu’s daughter is certainly extraordinary.
Although it is the daughter’s family, the Empress Dowager has been cured. From then on, the Liang family has an extra layer of protection. In the future… the daughter has the support of the Empress Dowager and the palace, and the daughter’s family does not expect her to have a future. But still worried about marriage? According to the decree of the Empress Dowager, if there is no such thing as a golden son-in-law, most people will be extremely happy and wish for it.
He originally hated the Liu family deeply, but now when he heard that Liu Yan was shamelessly trying to rebuild the old relationship, he suddenly burst into laughter.
Liu Yan reluctantly smiled at Liang Chu: “Brother Liang…”
“Who is your brother Liang!” Liang Chu said solemnly: “People with a corrupt family tradition like you are worthy of marrying my Liang family. We have always been married. It’s important to be well-matched. I’d like to ask, what qualifications do you have?”
“You…” Liu Yan was speechless.
Liang Chu said calmly: “My daughter will not marry someone with dirt and chaff. In the future, please never mention such things, and please respect yourself!”
Liang Chu’s voice was cold and even more disdainful.
“Brother Liang…” Liu Yan was about to cry, looking at Liang Chu with his eyes wide open.
Then Liu Wenhua also hurriedly hissed: “Shibo, Shibo, students will die, students…”
“That’s enough!” Emperor Hongzhi yelled angrily, pointing his hand: “Get out!”
A group of eunuchs had already rushed in. , took Liu Yan and Liu Wenhua and left.
Liu Yan and Liu Wenhua burst into tears. They knew that their last chance was gone.
Liang Chu stood strong all the time. He couldn’t cry or get emotional. He had to show his indifference, especially in front of the Liu family. But the uncles and nephews of the Liu family were dragged away like dead dogs. He became red. He couldn’t help but burst into tears from his eyes.
He couldn’t help but glance at Fang Jifan gratefully.
Although all of this started because of Fang’s succession.
But… no matter what, at least my daughter… has a way out.
Although… he doesn’t know whether this road is good or bad, whether it is a blessing or a curse for a woman, but… now that he has left, then… he can only go to the dark side. .
If you get on the pirate ship and can’t get off, then become a thief and become a famous thief.
Although this bitch named Fang is a deceitful person, at least… he still has some skills.
At least it won’t harm anyone, and it can still teach people real skills.
Emperor Hongzhi looked around, and his expression gradually softened, and then he said calmly: “Since Ms. Liang has no husband’s family, then this favor naturally falls on the Liang Qing family. Liang Qing’s family, you gave birth to a child.” What a good daughter.”
Liang Chu quickly bowed down and said, “I am very ashamed.”
“What is there to be ashamed of? This is a great achievement. I owe it all to you. Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do. The Empress Dowager is old. Now, I will have to rely on your daughter to serve the Empress Dowager in the future. The Qing family can rest assured that I will find a good family and give her a good home.”
Liang Chu felt relieved and bowed: “My lord… thank you for your grace.”
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand towards Liang Chu and said with a smile: “You don’t have to thank me, please thank Fang Qing’s family.”
Liang Chu was so excited that he had to face Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan shook his head and waved his hands: “This is nothing, it’s just a little effort. Your beloved Bingxue is smart and eager to learn and make progress. That’s why Xiaoliang…”
Xiaoliang…
Liang Chu felt like he was suffocating.
There’s nothing wrong with this actually. After all, Fang Jifan’s calling him “Xiao Liang” can be regarded as raising his seniority. Fang Jifan’s seniority is higher than Liu Jian’s, but… I, Fang Jifan, can’t offend Liu Gong, and I can’t offend Liu Gong. You Liang Chu, what if I call you Xiaoliang?
Fang Jifan continued: “Xiao Liang, after all, we are also a family, so there is no need to thank you. I, Fang Jifan, will not treat you as an outsider.”
Liang Chu decided… no thanks.
He said nothing.
Emperor Hongzhi was also speechless.
But he couldn’t help but laugh.
If anyone dared to say such words in front of the emperor, Emperor Hongzhi would have beaten his brains out long ago.
But this was Fang Jifan… and he actually felt that there was no sense of violation. Fang Jifan was always like this. Otherwise, it would mean that he… had changed…
so no one in the entire hall felt that it was inappropriate.
Emperor Hongzhi coughed and was busy trying to stop Fang Jifan from continuing to talk nonsense: “This female hospital is worthy of a big responsibility. I thought about it. Since they are on duty like men and serve the palace, it is natural that they should be treated the same. I… …We can’t treat them lightly, so we should follow the old practice of entrusting officials, granting female doctors official positions and salaries, allocating money and food from internal funds, and distributing salaries according to their grades and official positions.”
Fang Jifan: “…”
Your Majesty .
, at the beginning, I never thought of paying them wages.
Damn it, is this still something humans do?
But now, they have been officially given their treatment and salary.
A group of women, just like men, began to work as errands. They were given a salary sufficient to support themselves and were given official positions.
This… what impact will it have next?
Fang Jifan felt hot in his heart.
He knows that women still face countless difficulties and obstacles if they want to truly hold up half the sky.
But…this first step of personal independence must be financial independence. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but after taking this first step, the spirit of our successor seems to have been sublimated again.
