The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1528

[1528. Chapter 1452 The capital is shocked]

The capital was already in turmoil, but suddenly, Shuntian Mansion actually surrounded Jiao Mansion.

Although Jiao Fang’s reputation is not very good, she has more or less friends over the years.

In fact, many officials in the court are in great difficulty.

Jiao Fang’s post has been downloaded, asking them to come to the house to talk about it. If they don’t go, they will inevitably lose their dignity. Everyone just thinks that they are cowardly.

But if you go, behind Shuntian Mansion are the prince and Duke of Qi… This…

this is the most difficult part.

This guy named Jiao usually doesn’t do favors to others, but when something goes wrong, he creates a problem for others.

The Shuntian Mansion failed to get the order and rushed into the minister’s mansion without authorization. This was tantamount to ransacking the house. This was the first of its kind. From now on, everyone in the family will be in danger. Even the Jinyi Guards, don’t they have to take the next step first?

This is the most fatal key.

The Qingliu people have been fighting against the factory guards for so many years in history. The core is that the factory guards used the supervision of the officials to check and balance the officials, and the officials fought back and refused to give in to resist the unscrupulous power of the factory guards.

If you don’t go…

your reputation will be ruined.

After all, someone set off on the journey.

At first it was just a few young and enthusiastic Hanlins.

They arrived at Jiao’s house, handed over the post, and came to visit.

There are more and more people in Shuntian Mansion, but these young officials turn a blind eye to this and do not take them seriously at all.

On the other side, Shuntian Mansion reported to Xishan and continuously sent more manpower, so that the official came in person.

There was actually a tense atmosphere surrounding the Jiao family.

Immediately afterwards, more people began to sit still.

Today is Muxiu, and the area near Jiao Mansion is the residence of many dignitaries.

These people were well-informed, and any news about the Jiao family spread quickly.

Everyone seemed to be weighing the situation. Jiao Fang gave them a difficult question: whether to be a clean slate or to protect oneself wisely.

Then, people began to arrive one after another.

After half an hour, there were dozens of officials who came to visit.

In name, they were visiting or coming to Jiao’s house as guests.

But everyone knew in their hearts that their presence here showed their weight, and they wanted to see if Shuntian Mansion dared to rush into Jiao’s house at this time.

Seeing more and more people arriving, Jiao Fang began to smile. She stood in front of the door and greeted the guests as if provocatively.

Outside, Liu Wei and others were whispering something to the officials who came over.

The official frowned, obviously a little disgusted with Jiao Fang’s actions. He murmured in a low voice and said to Liu Wei: “How about rushing in to search now? This is Qi Guogong’s instructions. Do we still have to disobey him?”

Liu Wei He said with a grimace: “The only thing I’m worried about is whether these guests will step forward to intercept them when they rush in. If there is a conflict and these guests are injured, or Shilang Jiao, this… I’m afraid… …”

This worry is not unnecessary, the promoter seemed anxious.

He knew very well that a doctor could not be punished with punishment.

The factory guards were notorious because they violated this principle. If Shuntian Mansion sent people to rush in, they would probably cause trouble.

Pursing his lips, he said: “Have you reported it to the Duke of Qi?”

“We have sent someone to report urgently.”

The official paused for a moment, with a bit of dispute in his eyes, and said, “Then, everyone, do your best. Prepare and wait for Duke Qi’s order. If he insists on stepping into Jiao Mansion…”

At this point, the judge’s eyes flashed with determination and he said loudly, “Then no matter how much it costs, rush in immediately and stop him. “Yes, there’s no need to be polite.”

Liu Wei’s face still felt hot, and he glared at Jiao Fang who was greeting the guests at the door with a smile, and nodded: “Yes”

…

Jiao Fang’s face. Smiling, my heart has settled a lot.

In fact, he knew very well that this was only a temporary measure.

He was not a fool, so why didn’t he know that Fang Jifan was not a vegetarian?

Therefore, both parties were waiting.

He has already submitted a memorial and entered the palace to complain, and the Shuntian Mansion must have prepared an urgent report and gone to Xishan.

Now, he was waiting for the palace’s reaction and wanted to see if His Majesty would condone Fang Jifan and the Crown Prince’s misdeeds.

…

The Secretary of General Affairs hurriedly sent the express report into the palace, and then Xiao Jing quickly walked to Emperor Hongzhi’s side.

Emperor Hongzhi rarely took a break, so he took a look at the memorial and was confused.

“Is there any real evidence?”

“Your Majesty, no.”

“Humph!” Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but get angry: “Without real evidence, they dare to let Shuntian Mansion go to the Minister’s Mansion. How big of a trap are they planning to make? I love them. It doesn’t mean that the prince and his successor can do whatever they want. It’s simply unreasonable. Is this child’s play?”

“Your Majesty…” Xiao Jing said: “What’s more serious is that before the report was sent, I also received the express report. Many ministers had already left for Jiao Mansion. Regarding this matter… I dare to think that the key point is that it It is easy to breed resentment among officials, not to mention the Duke of Qi. Even if His Majesty treats ministers like this, it will be chilling, let alone the Duke of Qi. What the servant is worried about is that once more and more ministers go to Jiao Mansion, then… …Things will reach a point where it will be difficult to end.”

Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but be stunned, and then his eyes became serious.

Emperor Hongzhi felt keenly that something was going to happen.

He knew many of his ministers all too well.

The ministers hope that they can have character and be famous in history. Everyone wants to imitate Wei Zheng, even if… this is only on the surface…

Because of this, not to mention Jiao Fang’s popularity, once something like this happens to the Jiao family, it will inevitably happen. Some people will get angry and start shouting.

As for his son’s impulsive and reckless personality, Fang Jifan was better off, but even if he was better, it was very limited. After all, he was still young and his energy had not dissipated. When the time came…he gave an order…

the consequences would be disastrous.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, and his tone became solemn: “I decree that Shuntian Mansion be evacuated. If anything happens, let them enter the palace tomorrow to report it. Whoever dares to cause trouble today, I will deal with him!”

Xiao Jing looked at him He glanced at Emperor Hongzhi: “Then… I will go in person…”

Emperor Hongzhi understood what Xiao Jing meant.

Depending on the prince’s temper, ordinary people would not be able to stop the prince and Fang Jifan from conveying his will.

These two guys are extremely courageous when they get together.

Emperor Hongzhi became more and more agitated. He tapped the document uneasily and said fiercely: “I’m going.”

Even if you, Xiao Jing, go in person, I wouldn’t worry.

“I heard…” He paused before saying, “Jiao Fang has been ill recently. I should go and have a look.”

Looking for a random reason, Emperor Hongzhi stood up and said, “Go and make arrangements.”

…

Emperor Hongzhi set off. Very quickly.

He really convinced his son and son-in-law.

I’m really worried.

What’s more, he is a hands-on person. If he is asked to be the hands-off shopkeeper for such a big thing, I’m afraid he won’t be able to sleep well tonight.

He left the palace incognito, and when he drove near Jiao’s house, he found that the place was packed with people…

Emperor Hongzhi’s face suddenly became ugly, and his heart sank even more.

There are many good people in Beijing, let alone such a big event.

As the carriage moved forward, it became more difficult. He opened a corner of the curtain and looked at the sea of people. Emperor Hongzhi leaned on the sofa, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and began to think about something in his heart.

Emperor Hongzhi didn’t know what the people outside were talking about.

But for him, it was not a good thing for the prince and Fang Jifan to be at the forefront of the storm because of such a sudden dispute.

The carriage finally arrived at the door of Jiao’s house.

Emperor Hongzhi got off the bus.

I saw that there were many ministers and people from Shuntian Mansion here.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the emperor getting out of the car, and some of them recognized him.

When Jiao Fang, who was continuing to welcome guests at the door, saw this, her eyes lit up and she felt excited.

Your Majesty is here.

This is the best result for him.

His Majesty is generally a gentle person who thinks twice before taking action. Even if there is something hidden in his own backyard, as long as there is no irrefutable evidence, he will be safe. Now that His Majesty has arrived, he will definitely not order a search.

What’s more, if your Majesty wants to incriminate yourself, all you need is an imperial edict, so there is no need for the emperor to come in person.

But now that Your Majesty is here, there is a high probability that he will come to deal with Fang Jifan.

Jiao Fang was a person who was determined to retaliate against others, even though she knew that after today, she would openly turn against Fang Jifan.

But so what, when Concubine Wan Gui was around, he didn’t do the same…

This reminded Jiao Fang of his glorious years, and she felt emotional in her heart.

He hurriedly led all his colleagues to the Emperor Hongzhi. Jiao Fang prostrated himself and burst into tears: “Your Majesty… Your Majesty… I am guilty of tens of thousands of deaths. Now your Majesty wants to raid my house. I have no complaints. I just ask your Majesty to invent it.” Purpose.”

Emperor Hongzhi had no expression on his face when he heard his words, but he also knew that many people were looking at him.

Not to mention the hundreds of nearby officials and people from Shuntian Mansion, there were no less than 10,000 people watching.

What could he say on this occasion?

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: “The Qing family must not be like this. The Qing family is not guilty, how can I add guilt?”

Jiao Fang was obviously not a person who would give up. He refused to give up and continued to kowtow like garlic.

There was cold stone bricks under his head. He gritted his teeth and knocked his head until it was bleeding. He said angrily, “If I am not guilty, why did Shuntian Mansion humiliate me so much? After two dynasties, I have You have to work diligently, and you have to work hard even if you don’t have merit. Today, the Shuntian Mansion wants to invade the door. I… I… I have been wiped out and my reputation is ruined. I ask your majesty to grant the death of this humble minister…”

He said here, The ministers who followed also began to feel aggrieved.

Does this scholar-official still look like a scholar-official? They are really like pigs and dogs. Ordinary petty officials dare to enter and exit the mansion for inspection. This is a great shame.
