C223 Official Residences Doctor(1)
In the mid-summer of the second year of the emperor's reign, the head of the Jolin Court, Fusi, was impeached. He was sentenced to court punishment. Fu Si! He was the son of a wealthy family of the Shuxiang Clan, and he had a high reputation at a young age. His pride was beyond the reach of ordinary people. How could he bear such humiliation? Even after the execution, they would immediately commit suicide and be stained with blood. Now, it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.
Since ancient times, all scholars respected the head of the Julin Courtyard as their master. The Fu Si case Shi Lin was shocked. It caused a huge uproar in the second year of the Orthodox Academy. The scholars of the Julin Courtyard, led by You, all went up to prove Fu Si's innocence in the next day's court assembly. They presented more than ten records of loyalty to the king and his people, angrily accusing Zhang Ge of slandering a loyal official for not being worthy of being an official. They also requested the Emperor to pay the salary that they owed.
There was also an official Xu Fangzhi who openly expressed his thoughts in the Imperial Court, angrily accusing Shangguan Zhangge of coveting an undeserved reputation and deceiving his mind. Zhang Ge's name instantly spread throughout the entire Great Zheng, Great Jiang, North and South, but it was a pity that it was not a bad name but a bad one.
When the Minister of the Public Affairs Department, Han Jiang, heard the news, he wore a plain robe and dragged Zhang Zhu to the front of the afternoon gate to punish him for kneeling. The Emperor sent someone to ask him what crime he had committed. He answered, "Elder brother's life and death are not clear yet. Han Jiang knelt down for elder brother's crime. I hope Your Majesty will not punish elder brother Fu Si again." No one, including the future father-in-law, tried to persuade him to kneel down until late at night. The Emperor had no choice but to send the Royal Guards back to the Han Residence and order his father, Han Xiao, to take good care of him.
The next day, Han Jiang did not kneel down anymore. Instead, he called for a few famous scholars to join hands to make a memorial and force the Emperor to punish Zhang Ge.
For a moment, the court was in a state of turmoil. In the second year after the establishment of the Great Zheng Dynasty, the rebellion in Chakharr, the lack of funds in the national treasury, and the injustice caused by Fu Si, these three major events caused the young Emperor to fall into a dilemma of internal and external problems.
It was precisely when Shi Lin and Yan Guan were in a heated argument, the news of Fu Si turning the crisis into safety spread, and he supported his broken body in the harem to meet Han Jiang and the rest of the scholars.
This time, the royal guards stopped the official from participating in the meeting, so no one knew the details. Only from the disciple of Fu Ting, Zhou Maosheng, said, "There is no right or wrong in the court." That day, the heated debate in the court gradually calmed down. Even Zhang Ge, who was stuck at home and could not attend the court, was restored to order.
In the following Grand Examination, Fu Si, who was bedridden and unable to go to court, was conferred the title of Imperial Physician by the emperor of Zheng Rong. Five thousand households for Rank One officials. In this year, Fu Ting was only seventeen years old, and there was no one in the past or in the future who had reached the pinnacle of the imperial court in that year. From this moment on, Fu Ting stood at the center of the maelstrom of righteous politics. He became the first assistant minister in the history of the official.
At the same time, the Rongdi Emperor also issued another decree that shook the Imperial Court: to welcome the daughter of the Fu Clan's Fang Clan's Fang Hua, Fu Tine, into the Palace and personally register her to be the Empress of the Central Palace in charge of the Inner Palace. The wedding was scheduled to be on the day of autumn.
The officials understood that this imperial decree was to appease the Fu Family and to calm down the Imperial Court's debate. The fact that there was no one in the Inner Palace was not the right thing to do. As the Emperor, he needed to leave behind descendants for the stability of the country.
After the Imperial Decree was announced, a person walked out from the back of the officials. He wore the Imperial Uncle uniform and knelt down to thank the Emperor. "This official thanks the Emperor for his grace. Long live the Emperor!"
The officials did not understand anything else, but they could recognize the robe that Fu Hua was wearing. This official had come to thank the emperor in a proper manner. It was enough to show that the emperor had informed them beforehand. The emperor had a harem and was the daughter of a Southern official. The officials were happy to see this happen. The sound of people kneeling and congratulating the emperor shook the clouds. Below the jade steps, there was a joyous atmosphere.
"Autumn is only half a month away from today. Although the national treasury is empty and everything goes from frugal to frugal, after all, marrying the Empress of the Central Palace is a bit too hasty" After the court assembly, a few of the officials discussed about today's matter. One of the officials was a bit worried:" The Emperor marrying a wife is a big deal "
"The Ministry of Rites didn't say anything, so let's just ignore it. It's ridiculous that there's no one in the Central Palace." Another person said: "The Fu family is now extremely wealthy, and their official residence is at the first rank of the imperial palace, the head of the imperial harem. If we were to have another prince... Our emperor has half of the bloodline of the southerners, and now the Empress is also a southerner... "
"It might not be possible to say, but now that the north and south have returned to the heart, such words cannot be spoken nonsense." Another person hurriedly interrupted, "It is a good thing to pamper the Fu Family. His family has loyal officials, and it is beneficial to the country and the people."
"You are right, that is the reason." The officials all nodded: "It's a pity that Doctor Fu suffered that torture at such a young age, if he wants to see him in the Imperial Court, he won't have a chance for a year or so"
"That's right, it's a pity that he's an outstanding person of his generation." Someone praised, "A seventeen year old doctor, the number one person in history."
Han Jiang followed behind these people and listened slowly. No joy could be seen on his tense face. When he arrived at the second door, he took out his waist plate and waited for the exit. However, he heard a sharp voice behind him, "Sir Han, is it the Minister of Commerce, Han Jiang, Sir Han?"
"Yes, I am." Han Jiang turned around and recognized that it was one of the eunuchs who served his second sister. "Sir Fu, is there something you need from this official?"
"That's right." The eunuch hurriedly bowed and replied, "This lowly one has been waiting here for a long time. Official Han, please follow this lowly one."
Han Jiang, whose footsteps were heavy, followed the eunuch into the harem. When he arrived in front of the hall where Fu Si lived, his chest inexplicably became increasingly vexed. He held his fist and held his breath as he stood up.
"Lord Han?"
Hearing the eunuch's doubtful question, Han Jiang moved a few steps but was ultimately discouraged. "I'll have to trouble you to tell Lord Fu that I suddenly feel unwell and will enter the palace to pay my respects the next day."
