Fang Shihong glanced at his father, turned his wheelchair and said, "You broke your son's legs and prevented your son from going out to make friends. Can't you let your son invite his friends to the house?"

"friend?"

Fang Congzhe said angrily: "A right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites and a left assistant censor, when did your friend have such a prestige?"

"You don't care about this. Although their official positions are not low, they are willing to make friends with their sons, so you don't care."

Fang Shihong replied directly to his father.

"you!"

Fang Congzhe pointed at Fang Shihong and was angry.

"You can beat me to death. Anyway, I have broken my legs now, and it doesn't mean much to be alive. And your life is also given by you. If you beat me to death, it will be considered to be rewarded for you."

Seeing this, Fang Shihong replied directly.

Fang Congzhe took his hand helplessly: "No matter what, you can't make friends with them. They are all speculators and are not ashamed of being a scholar. You don't know?"

Fang Shihong sneered: "It seems that you and I are not ashamed of those gentlemen in the Shilin. Why should you look down on them? Their reputation in the Shilin is not as bad as you."

Fang Congzhe was so angry that he couldn't speak because of his son, so he could only force him to suppress him with patriarchy: "In short, you can't interact with these people!"

Fang Shihong signaled his servant Mo Yu to stop pushing him. When he stopped in the wheelchair, he turned to look at Fang Congzhe, with a cold face and tears in his eyes, "My son has broken his legs by you because of the threats of those Donglin gentlemen. He can't go out for fun, and when he returns home, he can only stare at the courtyard wall in a daze, but my son knows that you can't blame you for this!"

"If you want to blame, I can only blame those Donglin gentlemen who forced you too hard. They used to slander me and beat me to death, but now they have forced you to break your legs. So, my son must not refuse to avenge this revenge!"

"And, my son also knows that you have been hated by many people because of the emperor's favor. In the future, you can only follow Yan Song or Zhang Juzheng's footsteps. Moreover, my son knows that you are also ambitious and the temple has not given you a chance. You have always regretted that the emperor gives you a chance. Now that the emperor gives you a chance, you will not let it go. Otherwise, in the beginning, you would not have been willing to join forces with the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party to fight against Li Sancai in order to compete for the position of the cabinet minister. Even on the condition of protecting Li Sancai's life, he exchanged for Ye Xianggao's recommendation, which made you successfully enter the cabinet and disappointed the gentlemen of Donglin;"

"So, my son knows that our Fang family and the gentlemen of Donglin have become enemies. My son is not only revenge on them but also suppresses them for your father. Now my son wants to promote the ugliness of these gentlemen by revealing the letter, and my son also wants to make friends with a group of people, fight with those so-called gentlemen, and make them bad! Besides, our gentry in the north should not be allowed to bully them in the south!"

"Even if your father, you want to follow Yan Song or Zhang Juzheng's footsteps, your son would rather be Yan Shifan and die vigorously, and he would never be willing to be like Zhang Jingxiu and be forced to commit suicide!"

"My son has already agreed to make Gu Bingqian become the Minister of Justice in the future and Feng Quan serves as the governor of Nanzhili in the future to let these two people agree to spoil these Donglin officials. Both of them are from Hanlin and their writing skills are no less than those of Donglin people!"

...

Fang Congzhe looked at his son silently. He never expected that his son would be so scheming.

"How can you be sure that you can make them the Minister of Justice and the Governor of Nanzhili?"

Fang Congzhe asked, the first time he asked his son about such a thing.

Fang Shihong laughed: "In this situation, the bottom-line literati will not choose to offend the people of the world and ruin the entire country for His Majesty. Only Gu Bingqian, who has no bottom-line, do not care about these things. The court can only use them now. Therefore, in fact, the court will use them if his son promises or does not promise, but now his son promises them just makes them mistakenly think that his son has this power!"

As he said that, Fang Shihong asked Fang Congzhe: "I guess you have already recommended these villains you look down upon to Your Majesty, right?"

Fang Congzhe glanced at his son in surprise and said, "Speak."

"Last year, a large number of Donglin officials resigned. Your Majesty did the opposite and agreed to all of them. All of them were allowed to be the Minister of Personnel. You were specially appointed as the Minister of Personnel to serve as important positions in various places. However, you did not blindly appoint private parties, and still used the principle of balancing the power of the court to reassure Your Majesty. Therefore, most of the ministers and ministers of the two capitals are neutral and not gangs. Only people like Gu Bingqian and Wei Guangwei, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, are different. Now that the Minister of Justice Huang Kecheng is gone, you cannot recommend Wei Guangwei to come to the capital to execute the execution of Li Sancai and others. Because this takes too much time, you will naturally recommend Gu Bingqian, who is qualified and serves as the Minister of Rites in the capital to serve as the Minister of Justice!"

Fang Shihong started talking.

Fang Congzhe laughed: "You should know that I don't have any good feelings for Gu Bingqian."

"As the chief minister, you have been listed in the center for so long, can you still recommend ministers because of your personal likes and dislikes, rather than being beneficial to yourself or not?"

Fang Shihong asked back.

"Why are Feng Quan's appointment as the governor of Nanzhili? How come you are sure that he will hold this position in the future?"

Fang Congzhe asked another question.

"Are you testing your son?"

Fang Shihong replied, and said, "It is obvious that Your Majesty is so tough now that many scholars and officials in the world have long been dissatisfied with each other, especially the gentry in Jiangnan. In the future, the troop transportation will be severe. However, with Your Majesty's character, you will never allow these gentry to make such a mess, causing the Ming Dynasty to fall into chaos. Your Majesty will definitely pursue the troop and force these gentry in Jiangnan to pay all the taxes and grains to smooth the transportation. Who is the most suitable for doing this at this time? Naturally, the person like Feng Quan who has the deepest hatred of the Donglin Party. Feng Quan is the left censor, and it just so suitable for becoming the governor of Nanzhili and suppressing the gentry in Jiangnan."

Fang Congzhe fell silent and looked at his son in a bit incredible way.

Fang Shihong felt very proud when he saw his father looking at him like this, so the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Fang Congzhe said, "You guessed it wrong! How can a father make a villain successful? Just like the ministers in the court, he has been trying his best to advise Your Majesty to forgive the death penalty of the rioters and even Li Sancai's death penalty."

"Don't lie to your son! You will care whether the villain succeeds or not. You will care about the life and death of those scholars, and Li Sancai's life and death? You and the Donglin Party have always been in power. Li Sancai was dismissed from office and the people were your masterpiece! You just don't want to stand opposite to all scholars and officials in public and support Your Majesty in executing Li Sancai."

Fang Shihong sneered and said, "If your son is not wrong, you must have entered the palace with the ministers on the surface and begged Your Majesty to forgive them. Even when you meet the emperor alone, you would talk to those troublemakers and Li Sancai on the surface, but in fact, you are using Your Majesty's character and keep talking about how Li Sancai cannot kill and how famous he is. In fact, you are provoking Your Majesty to make Your Majesty feel that Li Sancai must be killed, right?"

"Hmph! Be smart!"

Fang Congzhe quickly denied it, and said seriously, "Your father, I always speak based on my heart!"

"You can't let Li Sancai live, you're your mortal enemy. If he can't be punished by Ming Zhengdian this time, it means that the court can't do anything to him, and it means that you can't do anything to him. In other words, he will do anything to you. You will definitely not let this situation happen. You actually want to kill Li Sancai than Your Majesty! But you are just more hypocritical than Your Majesty, and you dare not express your opinion directly."

Fang Shihong started talking.

"Damn it!"
