Chapter six hundred and seventieth reform resistance
The housekeeper smiled bitterly. This old man Wang was the only one who was invited in. They really couldn't afford to take on something.
However, this must not start with. Once his master speaks once, the troubles will not be interrupted and will be pulled into the vortex.
He stepped forward and said carefully, "Sir, if you have any requests, I'll inform you."
Mr. Wang showed a sarcastic smile on his face and said, "Simple, please recover from Lord Huang's illness as soon as possible. Don't let Lord Fang continue to do whatever he wants. Nanzhili, you can't make trouble. This is also the meaning of the court."
The butler was shocked and said, "What does the court mean?"
Mr. Wang looked faint and said, "Do you think the court would hope that the chaos in Nanzhili would be caused?"
The housekeeper looked at the eldest son Wang with some scrutiny, wondering if his words represented Zhou Yingqiu in Beijing or his own random words?
The housekeeper was full of suspicion and said cautiously, "Mr. Fang is also doing things according to the requirements of the court's 'new policy'. I believe he will not do anything randomly. If the old man encounters any trouble, our master will definitely not sit idly by."
Mr. Wang turned to look at him, with a sharp look and a hard tone, "Hmph, if something really happens, let alone Huang Liji, even the entire officials of Nanzhili may not be peaceful! If Mr. Huang thinks it will be fine if he hides, then he is foolish!"
The butler's face changed slightly. Mr. Wang was already reliant on his seniority and was already scolding their master!
Mr. Wang roughly saw Huang Liji's attitude, stood up with a crutch, and said with a gloomy look: "Tell Huang Liji that he can't hide some things!"
After saying that, he knocked on his crutch angrily and walked out the door.
The housekeeper ignored Mr. Wang's attitude and hurriedly followed: "My elder, I will tell us the master word for word."
Mr. Wang ignored it at all and left with great strides.
When Mr. Wang was out, people waiting outside the door flocked to him.
"Mr. Wang, what does Mr. Huang say?"
"Sir, have you seen Mr. Huang?"
"Sir, say something..."
These people are all prominent people in Jiangnan and have great influence in Nanzhili, especially Yingtianfu. Naturally, many people did not come and sent servants to stare at them.
No matter what, Fang Kongzhang's actions caused their uneasiness. They were all trying their best to inquire about the news, wanting to know what the governor's yamen is going to do and what they do.
No one paid attention to this, Wang, and went back in the sedan chair.
Mr. Wang sat in the sedan chair with a calm face, cold eyes, and wrinkles on his face all showed a sense of brilliance.
He has been through the officialdom for a long time and has a clear understanding of the officialdom. As if he is aware of the fire, what worries him the most is the emperor who should be locked in a deep palace and let civil servants fool him!
"He's out of the palace..."
Mr. Wang whispered, raised his eyelids and looked forward, his eyes flashing brightly, with a faint hint of worry.
Their Wang family has been a great family in Jiangnan for generations, with a profound foundation, and must not be slaughtered by the emperor, nor can they be completely cleared and annexed like Northern Zhili!
"Your Majesty, Southern Zhili is not Northern Zhili!"
The corners of Mr. Wang's face twitched slightly and he gritted his teeth secretly.
The housekeeper quickly turned around and came back. Huang Liji was already waiting in the chair, his face gloomy.
The housekeeper came over and said no cautiously. Huang Liji had already heard the conversation between him and Mr. Wang before.
After a while, the housekeeper saw that Huang Liji still didn't say anything, and said, "Master, although Mr. Wang is a little rude, he is right. Master cannot do nothing."
Huang Chengyuan also knew that this was also the reason for his gloomy face. After a while, he sighed and said, "I, as a governor, cannot do nothing, but I cannot do anything. Do you think there is any tyrant in the world who is more miserable than me?"
The butler's mouth moved, but in the end he couldn't say a word.
The situation in Nanzhili is extremely complex, and even a little reform will cause big trouble. This is no wonder that their master is, whoever comes, is afraid it will be difficult and difficult.
Huang Liji was anxious and had annoyed on his face, and said, "Tonight, you go and invite Fang Kongzhang in person, and I want to talk to him."
The housekeeper was stunned and said, "Master, what are you going to talk about?"
Huang Liji frowned. Fang Kongzhang was doing what he hoped. If he didn't do it, the emperor would come, and he would be punished, but now it has caused a rebound and must be suppressed.
"I'll find a way, you go." Huang Chengyuan took a deep breath, thinking about his words with Fang Kongzhao.
At this moment, Fang Kongzhao was already in horror.
"What did you say? The Emperor is already in Yangzhou?" He opened his eyes wide and stared at Fang Yizhi in front of him.
Fang Yizhi trembled in his heart and said, "Yes."
Fang Kongzhang calmed down quickly and stared at Fang Yizhi coldly.
He banned the Qinhuai River, but unexpectedly, his son was hit by the emperor on the little Qinhuai River!
Fang Yizhi no longer cared about whether his father would be angry and said anxiously, "Dad, Master, will he take his anger on his father? He takes his anger on our Fang family?"
Fang Kongzhao is also worried about this matter now. Fang Yizhi was seen by the emperor in the little Qinhuai. Now he has banned the Qinhuai River. Anyone who sees it deliberately flatters and tries to commit the crime. He will not think that he is performing his duties conscientiously and doing his best.
I guess the emperor will feel disgusted with such flattery?!
Fang Kongxu had a calm face and his eyes were like lightning. He looked at Fang Yizhi in front of him and said coldly, "The emperor should still be in Yangzhou now. Go home immediately. You will not be allowed to come out without my permission! Also, don't participate in the imperial examination this year. Let me tell you that those friends are not allowed to participate this year. If you make trouble in the imperial examination, don't blame your father for showing mercy!"
Fang Yizhi's mouth moved and said nervously: "I have notified them before I come."
Fang Kongqi was filled with anger, and his face sank a little coldly when he heard this, "Get back to me immediately!"
Fang Yizhi was still uneasy, worried that the emperor's anger would vent his anger on their Fang family. Looking at his father's face, he raised his hand respectfully and retreated.
The chief clerk kept watching, and when Fang Yizhi left, he stepped forward and said, "Sir, the secret letter is still timely, and it should be time to remedy it now."
Fang Kongzhao's expression was slightly gentle, and he shook his head and said, "It's too late."
The chief clerk was stunned and immediately understood that even if Fang Kongzhao was too late to apologize for the crime, Yingtian Prefecture and Yangzhou Prefecture were only separated by a river. What the emperor should know is clearly what he should have.
Fang Kongqiu had a thought in his mind, and after a while he looked up and said, "No matter what the emperor or the court thinks, what we should do must not be delayed. The two sides of the Qinhuai River must be completely banned. The Criminal Prison Department, the Supervisory Yuan, and the Dali Temple must be accelerated..."
The chief clerk saw that Fang Kongzhao was still so persistent, and he was slightly moved and said, "It's an adult, but should I have to communicate with Lord Huang?"
Fang Kongzhang was just a right-wing political sect, with limited power and power. Without the support of the governor, there were too many things that could not be done.
Fang Kongwu raised his eyelids and was a little unwilling to accept it. He nodded and said, "Well, I understand..."
Before he finished speaking, a yamen runner hurried in and said, "Sir, the invitation from the governor, please pass by the mansion tonight."
Fang Kongzhao looked at the chief clerk, who was also stunned. He took the invitation and said, "Okay, tell the visitor that the lord will go to the appointment on time."
"Yes!" The yamen runner agreed and left quickly.
The chief clerk held the invitation and said worriedly, "Sir, Lord Huang suddenly invited me, I'm afraid it's a Hongmen Banquet..."
Huang Liji was swaying on the "New Policy" and was hesitant to do things. With Fang Kongxu banning the Qinhuai River, he was afraid that he would regret it and wanted to stop Fang Kongxu.
Fang Kongzhang had already guessed this possibility and waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about these things for now, let's continue to be ours. As long as Lord Huang does not object on the surface, we will do our own thing."
The chief clerk heard Fang Kongxu’s words of self-deprecating, sighed silently and said, “Yes.”
Now, Zhu Xu has arrived in Yingtian.
Standing at the bow of the boat, upstream against the water, looking at the scenery on both sides of the shore.
Bumubutai stood behind him, and it was his first time to come to Jiangnan. Looking at the beautiful scenery, his face was slightly calmer.
Cao Huachun stood behind Zhu Xu and introduced: "Emperor, not far ahead is the Jiangnan Gongyuan. This year, the place where the scholars in Jiangnan imperial examinations were held, the other side was the old courtyard, with brothels and singing workshops everywhere. Like the little Qinhuai in Yangzhou, this place is the most prosperous place. No matter what season, as long as you want to buy, you can buy it here. The goods are rich and the culture is rich..."
Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back and listened with a smile.
