After wearing the book, the Buddhist imperial concubine has spoiled again

Chapter 59
"Then let me tell you, it is His Royal Highness the benevolent prince who helped our family with his personal money!"

After telling the truth, the grievance in Fan Songkang's heart was replaced by openness.

Before His Highness the Crown Prince spoke, he did not dare to tell the truth, for fear that others would think that His Highness favored him.

After all, with so many officials in the Ministry of Rites, it is easy to make people feel dissatisfied.

As everyone knows, when the officials here learned about this, they would only think that their Highness the Crown Prince is sympathetic to his subordinates, and that he is a benevolent and righteous king who can follow!

Only Liang Chunrong asked the prince in disbelief, "Your Highness, is what Master Fan said true?"

"As Master Fan said, Gu did indeed give him a sum of money and asked him to use it to treat his mother." Pei Xuanling looked at Liang Chunrong, "Does Master Liang have any objections to this?"

Fan Songkang is a clean official, but he doesn't even have money for his mother's medical treatment.

He really couldn't bear the upright official being trapped by money and going astray, so he used his own money to supplement Fan Songkang.

Liang Chunrong: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the heir apparent of a country, so he speaks his mind. Whatever you say, that's what you say. I have nothing to say."

These words sounded respectful, yet somewhat unconvinced.

Then, he turned his head and said to Fan Songkang: "Even if Master Fan did not fill his pockets, it is a fact that you did not take good care of the tribute. It is a waste of His Royal Highness's heart to be so inactive as an official!"

"." Fan Songkang was born in a poor family, and walked on thin ice all the way from the imperial examination.

Many of my colleagues come from aristocratic families, and there are families everywhere to help manage and take care of them.

So he was careful in everything, no matter what he encountered, he silently endured it, for fear that he would offend others if he was not careful.

He thought that his patience could be exchanged for getting along with his colleagues in harmony.

I never thought about it, but it became the source of conniving them to bully him time and time again!

At this moment, in the face of Liang Chunrong who has repeatedly spoken rudely, this reminds Fan Songkang of the admonition the prince once said to him.

His Royal Highness said that he is capable and talented, but he is too dull.

Good people are bullied, and an honest person like him is easy to suffer in the officialdom.

His Highness also told him that as long as he does not forget his original intention, as long as the intention is good and correct, it doesn't matter if he is a little tricky, even if he is cunning and treacherous.

Thinking of this, Fan Songkang's heart was filled with infinite energy, he took a deep breath, and began to sneer!

"Your Majesty Liang, although you and I are in charge of the tribute matters together, but...but before the envoys came to Beijing, you rushed to be in charge of the reception. Let me be in charge of the tribute behind the scenes. You will admit it if you work hard."

"And you kept saying that you didn't take much care of the collection of tributes, but you ask yourself. Did you still take care of the tributes more or less?"

Everything is difficult at the beginning. It was the first time that he boldly questioned others like this. Although Fan Songkang stuttered, fortunately, he clearly expressed the process of the incident and his true inner thoughts.

Liang Chunrong: "I"

"Since that's the case, then you are somewhat responsible for the loss of the tribute, right?!" Fan Songkang interrupted Liang Chunrong excitedly and loudly, and sharply accused the other party.

"But look at you, you are neither willing to take the slightest responsibility, but you just want to shirk responsibility on me. Just like you, you are ashamed to say that I am an official and do nothing. In my opinion, you are the real official. Inaction!"

Gradually, this man who used to have low self-esteem, timidity, and honesty became more fluent and sharp in his speech.

He began to know how to use language to defend his position and interests, and tried to pour dirty water on others.

"Besides, I heard that after the incident is exposed, some villains with bad intentions will first react by framing or slandering others in an attempt to divert others' suspicion and attention, and you happen to be this kind of reaction, so I seriously doubt it now. The loss of the tribute is your fault!"

At this moment, Fan Songkang was constantly filled with emotions such as excitement, nervousness, and excitement, and his thin chest also fluctuated violently due to various emotions.

For more than 30 years, his heart has never been as happy as it is now!

Good people are bullied, and honest people should swallow their anger and be bullied?Get smeared? !
No!He will never be an honest person again!He has to learn to fight back!

"Fan Songkang, you, you, you, you don't want to spout blood here!" Liang Chunrong stood up, pointing his index finger at Fan Songkang angrily.

This Fan Songkang used to be timid in front of him.

Today, however, he had the guts of a leopard who dared to contradict his words, and dared to question him, it was the opposite!

"Why are you making a fuss here?" At this moment, Song Fu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, strode in.

Behind him was Zhu Ji, the servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Seeing this, all the officials present saluted Song Fu and Zhu Ji one after another.

Song Fu and Zhu Ji bowed to the prince.

Then, they each found their seats and sat down, and asked everyone about some situations.

After knowing the general situation, Zhu Ji said: "I think the main problem lies with Master Fan, after all, Master Liang has never cared much about the tribute."

"In addition, Lord Liang was also in charge of tributes before, but there has never been such a problem. Now that the right to take charge of tributes is in the hands of Lord Fan, why is there a problem of missing tributes?"

Even Song Fu said: "His Royal Highness, you may be a good fighter in war, and you can also discern talents in the face of generals, but civil servants and military officials are not the same."

"Perhaps as long as the military commander is good at fighting, the soldiers under him will naturally obey him, and the civil servants must not only have real talents, but also prestige and management ability. If he is too honest, he will not be able to control the people below, and troubles will easily occur. .”

Speaking of this, he looked at the prince, "In this respect, the Sixth Prince has done a good job. He knows people well, and many literati and strangers in the house look up to him."

Huang Dechang: "." This old pedant knows how to judge a hero by his literary talent.

After all, isn't it just admiring the sixth prince and not looking down on His Highness the Crown Prince, and still insinuating that His Highness doesn't know how to employ people.

"Your Majesty Song doesn't know something. Before I became an official, I was also a servant of the Sixth Prince. When I was able to get into the eyes of His Royal Highness, it was the Sixth Prince who recommended me." Fan Songkang told the truth again.

"After His Royal Highness met me, he tested me for a period of time before he started using me."

If this was in the past, he would not dare to contradict Mr. Song.

But Mr. Song clearly looked down on His Highness the Crown Prince, so he couldn't bear it.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has both civil and military skills, he can use talents to the best of his abilities, benevolent, righteous and courteous, what a good crown prince.

So Mr. Song is still not convinced, why don't you go to heaven?

For a while, the atmosphere in the hall became a little awkward.

All the officials present stared at the back of Mr. Song Fusong's head, wanting to see Mr. Song's reaction.

"." Song Fu was slightly taken aback, and cleverly changed the subject, "Okay, the tribute is lost, it's a big matter, and it's hard for me to make a judgment, so let's report to the emperor together."

So, everyone set off one after another and went to the palace.

**
Half an hour later, the Longyuan Hall of Emperor Yuan was built.

The ministers of the Ministry of Rites stood at the head and informed the emperor about the loss of the tribute.

Emperor Jianyuan sat on the dragon chair above and listened carefully to the reports of the officials.

After reporting the situation, Zhu Ji said right away, "Your Majesty, when Lord Song was in charge of the Ministry of Rites before, he never lost tributes. Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only started to take charge of the Ministry of Rites, and there have been such things as loss of tributes."

"If it gets out, how will the common people view His Royal Highness, and how will other countries view Dongliang?"

"Wait a minute." Emperor Jianyuan interrupted Zhu Ji who was eloquent.
