Fang Mansion.

"Liu Yiying and the others are really scolding me?"

When Fang Congzhe changed his clothes in the morning, he asked about Fang Qi, the housekeeper who was coming.

Fang Qi bowed and replied, "Yes, lord! They all blamed you for your ending, and they said they would not die well if they wanted you!"

Fang Congzhe's body trembled slightly after hearing this, but then he sighed again and said, "Get out and tell his family members to avoid going out."

"yes!"

Fang Qi retreated.

Fang Congzhe complained in his heart: "Liu Yiying is really sinister, and he will be punished by me until he dies! However, he has completely offended the Donglin Party members! But then again, if I compromise, they will not spare me! Moreover, with the current character of His Majesty, His Majesty will not let me, the chief minister of the cabinet, be easily out of the matter! Well, fortunately, Your Majesty is only sixteen years old and should be able to live for decades. As long as I follow His Majesty’s intentions, I will not be in a different place."

After changing the court ward, Fang Congzhe entered the palace.

In order to make Fang Congzhe have better physical fitness, Zhu Youxiao checked and balanced the Donglin Party for himself, so he has issued an order to give him the privilege of traveling to the palace to do business.

Now Fang Congzhe came down from the sedan chair and came to Qianqing Palace with Han Du.

There is one missing cabinet minister in the cabinet, and they have jointly submitted a memorial request to add cabinet ministers.

After all, the cabinet is busy and one cabinet minister is missing, it will affect the efficiency of government affairs.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao issued an order last night to ask Fang Congzhe and Han Du to meet him on the Qianqing Palace platform to discuss adding to the cabinet ministers and other matters.

Regarding the governance of the country, Zhu Youzhai advocated that big events hold small meetings and small events hold large meetings.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not intend to elect the cabinet ministers through court discussions, because it took time and the court often introduced ministers who were closer to the wishes of the civil servants.

Zhu Youxiao could only accept recommendations from several important officials or discuss with several important officials.

"Your Majesty, I think it is most appropriate for the cabinet minister to elect Ye Xianggao. He was the chief minister of the previous dynasty. He has always been respected and has been fair and decisive in his work. He has always been respected by all people in the world."

Han Yu recommends Ye Xianggao at this time.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and glanced at Fang Congzhe: "What about Yuan Fu's intention?"

Fang Congzhe didn't want Ye Xianggao to enter the cabinet. The reason is naturally very simple. Ye Xianggao's qualifications are higher than him and is a person supported by the Donglin Party. Once Ye Xianggao enters the cabinet, he, the chief assistant, will be undermined.

But Fang Congzhe didn't know how to say it clearly, and only said: "Mr. Ye is highly respected and has also been kind to support me. I believe that Mr. Ye can convince the public when he enters the cabinet, and let all officials do their best to do their best to govern the world."

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and immediately denied: "Although Ye Xianggao is famous and good at making decisions, he is not good at handling military affairs and is only concerned about the present and not the long-term. The defeat of Sarhu happened during his time as the chief minister of the cabinet. Although the main responsibility for this matter is to manage Yang Hao's division of troops, it is not unrelated to him that Ye Xianggao was too impatient in dealing with affairs and urging the Ministry of War to resolve the matter of the East Gate as soon as possible without considering reality!

Now the Eastern Captains are still a hidden danger to our Ming Dynasty. And because of the slack military equipment of our Ming Dynasty, the strong neighbors and internal chieftains have gradually despised the court. In the future, there will be more and more military affairs, so the cabinet ministers must also choose a person who is familiar with border affairs. I would like to specially briefly introduce Wang Xiangqian, the Minister of Personnel, who has retired, to enter the cabinet!"

Wang Xianggan?

Han Yu felt a little disappointed and thought to himself that the emperor did not intend to let Ye Xianggao enter the cabinet.

Fang Congzhe immediately said, "Your Majesty is wise! Wang Xianggan is an old minister of Longqing Dynasty. During his time as the governor of Ji Liao, he defeated the foreign captives several times and was powerful in the nine borders. He is the minister of the cabinet. He will naturally revive the border affairs of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Youjian laughed: "Immediately draft an order to restore Wang Xiang's official position and enter the cabinet as the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace!"

"Abide by the order!"

Fang Congzhe and Han Du immediately replied.

Han Yu was in a bad mood. After all, he was more willing to let Ye Xianggao enter the cabinet so as to suppress Fang Congzhe with him.

Fang Congzhe was so happy.

However, Fang Congzhe was happy not because Wang Xianggan entered the pavilion, but because Ye Xianggao could not enter the pavilion. He also found that His Majesty's complexion is much better now than before he ascended the throne, which made him feel much more at ease about his future.

Han Du noticed the joyful look of Fang Congzhe's face, so he couldn't help but complain: "Old guy! I only know that only the emperor's order is to follow, it's really useless to occupy the position of this assistant!"

For a moment, when Han Du came home and saw Jie Xuelong, he still couldn't relieve his anger. He said to Qian Qianyi with a complaining tone: "Your Majesty rejected the advice of letting Ye Gong enter the cabinet. The main reason was that this party Congzhe blindly welcomed him, which made His Majesty finally choose to let Wang Xianggan enter the cabinet!"

"It turns out to be so! Well, the other side Congzhe will taste how serious the consequences of betraying the scholar-officials are next."

Jie Xuelong sneered as he said that.

...

As soon as Fang Congzhe returned to his home, his housekeeper Fang Qi ran over and said hurriedly: "Master! The young master has been kidnapped! He said he wanted you to meet in Liutiaozhuang in the suburbs of the north of the city!"

After hearing this, Fang Congzhe heard a little bit of giori in his ears, and he was stunned.

Fang Shihong is Fang Congzhe's only son. He has always been very doting on his son. Now that he hears that his son has been kidnapped, it is naturally a big blow to him.

But Fang Congzhe has experienced many things after being stunned for a while, and he calmed down. He did not ask himself why the young master still went out for useless words like "Don't make any statement about this beforehand, who told you about this?!"

Fang Qi hurriedly replied: "It was Mo Yu, the servant beside the young master. The news he brought back was made. He also brought a note, which said, "Master, you can go to Liutiaozhuang to see him in the suburbs of the north of the city!"

After Fang Qi said this, he immediately presented a note to Fang Congzhe.

Fang Congzhe took the note and looked carefully. He couldn't tell who was notes. He just nodded and said, "Don't make any noise about this beforehand. Prepare the car. Master, I'm going to change into plainclothes and leave the city!"

"yes!"

Fang Qi immediately replied.

Half an hour later, Fang Congzhe came to Liutiao Village in the north of the city.

As soon as Fang Congzhe got off the horse, a group of people surrounded him. One of them asked, "But Mr. Fang?"

Fang Congzhe replied: "It's me."

"Bring it here!"

The man shouted loudly.

Suddenly, he came with Fang Shihong alone.

When Fang Shihong saw Fang Congzhe, he cried: "Father, save me! Save me!"

At this time, people started to say: "Master Fang, they asked me to pass on a message to you. They said, you should know why we arrested your son. Your son was almost punished for death back then, just to teach you a lesson. Now you are not tactful and have to betray the entire literati. So today I will arrest your son and remind you again! They also asked you, do you really think that you just obey the emperor and the emperor doesn't kill you, no one will kill you, kill your son?"

Fang Congzhe begged: "I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty. If I am not loyal to the emperor, I will die! Please understand me!"

"They also guessed that you would say this, so they asked me to give you a sentence, and you can choose to commit suicide to save your whole family's life."
