Sure enough, as expected.

When doctors introduced diapers again, they immediately became popular in Kaifeng City. After all, parents want the best for their children, not to mention that children who wet the bed make parents exhausted, and diapers often cause red buttocks and flooded groins of babies. In severe cases, it may endanger the child's health.

"Diapers!"

Not surprisingly, diapers once again appeared in the homes of scholar-bureaucrats.

Seeing Fan Zheng continue to trample on the paper, all the scholar-officials immediately gritted their teeth, completely angering the scholar-officials throughout the court!

"Again and again! Evil doctor Fan Zheng is deliberately provoking!" Yang Weihen said.

Other officials also nodded. They were the elites of the dynasty, so they naturally understood that Fan Zheng's move was to retaliate for their moral kidnapping, and they deliberately used the literati's inverse scale to stimulate him.

"No! Fan Zheng must be taught a lesson!" Censor Feng said angrily.

"How can I teach Fan Zheng a lesson? Whether it's toilet paper or diapers, Fan Zheng is doing it in the name of a doctor, and he has the support of the whole people." Cai Jing shook his head.

Both the New Party and the Old Party were literati. Fan Zheng's two provocations finally allowed the New Party and the Old Party to unite to deal with Fan Zheng.

Yang Wei sneered and said: "Didn't Fan Zheng retaliate against us for impeaching him for killing too many people? Before this, only a small number of officials were impeached. If both parties gathered strength to impeach Fan Zheng at the same time, all officials in the court would oppose it. I don’t believe that the officials will still protect the evil doctor Fan Zheng despite the opposition of the whole court."

"Yes, it should be so!" the old censor named Feng said excitedly.

The official is the hero, and he will definitely understand the general situation. Even if it is to maintain the stability of the court, he will punish the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

Cai Jingshen nodded in agreement. The power of the scholar-officials in the Song Dynasty was extremely huge. Once the power of the scholar-officials gathered, even the emperor would have to think carefully.

At the moment, the old and new parties are working together, and a steady stream of memorials to impeach Fan Zheng for excessive killings are pouring into the court.

"It's simply lawless. The officials want to force me to punish the meritorious officials."

Seeing the excitement among the officials, Zhao Xu suddenly exclaimed. He originally thought that the past few days had been calm and the accusations against Fan Zheng should also subside. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a hundred times more violent than before.

Yang Jian on the side smiled bitterly and said: "That's not because Fan Taicheng provoked the scholar-bureaucrats again and again, first with toilet paper, and then with diapers, which made those scholar-bureaucrats who regard paper as a treasure feel dissatisfied."

As an eunuch, Yang Jian had a good impression of Fan Zheng. After all, Fan Zheng once said that papermaking was the masterpiece of the eunuch Cai Lun, which elevated the status of eunuchs like them.

However, even so, Fan Zheng still did not think that it was a wise move for Fan Zheng to provoke the scholar-officials. After all, the scholar-officials had the greatest power in the Song Dynasty. He seemed to be a powerful eunuch, but when faced with the scholar-officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he could not help but look down upon him. Three points.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but have a headache. He naturally knew that both toilet paper and diapers were beneficial to the country and the people. However, the status of paper in the hearts of scholar-bureaucrats was equally noble. The two sides were irreconcilable contradictions, just like the relationship between physiology and ethics back then. fight.

Yang Jian said in a low voice: "Let me report to the official family. The officials in the court are coming fiercely. If not handled properly, the court may be unstable. It is better to pretend to reprimand Fan Taicheng first. It can also be regarded as giving an explanation to the officials. When the storm comes in the future, After that, I will make amends to Fan Taicheng."

In Yang Jian's view, this is the best method. After all, the combined power of hundreds of officials is too terrifying. If you are not careful, it will cause a catastrophic disaster, wronging Fan Zheng alone, in exchange for peace in the court. It's a wise move.

Zhao Xu thought carefully and realized that Yang Jian's method was indeed the best one, and he could even compensate Fan Zheng more in the future.

"No! This strategy is absolutely undesirable! If Fan Taicheng wanted to compromise, he would not deliberately counter the accusations of the scholar-bureaucrats."

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, with his understanding of Fan Zheng, he naturally understood how arrogant Fan Zheng was, not to mention that Fan Zheng committed such a killing for the Song Dynasty and for his grand cause. If he had wronged Fan Zheng, he would definitely It will chill Fan Zheng's heart, and even cause cracks in their friendship.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but think of his father Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi. Once, Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi hit it off just like he and Fan Zheng did. They jointly promoted the great cause of reform and made the national power of the Song Dynasty flourish.

However, just when everything was changing for the better, the appearance of a picture of refugees completely broke the harmony between monarch and ministers. Faced with hundreds of officials attacking him, Song Shenzong finally chose to stabilize the overall situation and dismissed Wang Anshi as prime minister. Although Song Shenzong later finally Wang Anshi was restored to the prime minister. However, the smooth reform at the beginning has been repeated again and again, and there is no longer the trust between the monarch and his ministers.

The situation today is very similar to that of back then, with bones piled high and hundreds of officials rising up to attack him. If he followed the example of Song Shenzong and wronged Fan Zheng, he would probably make the same mistake again.

"But? Where are the officials?" Yang Jian asked worriedly. If the excitement among the officials is not resolved, it will be extremely troublesome.

Zhao Xu's heart sank. He didn't know the power of the officials, but he still said firmly: "I am not the father, and Fan Taicheng is not Wang Anshi. Since Fan Taicheng deliberately confronted the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, I believe he must have a way to deal with it. Any future impeachment memorial against Fan Zheng will be kept in the air and not released."

Fan Zheng is known as the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and his evil prescriptions are endless. He has full confidence in Fan Zheng and believes that Fan Zheng will definitely have a solution.

"Yes!" Yang Jian lowered his head deeply and said.

As each memorial was left unpublished, the officials naturally knew that the officials wanted to keep Fan Zheng. However, the officials, who were excited, did not want to let Fan Zheng go so easily. Even Prime Minister Su Song and Right Minister Fan Chunli had been After trying to reconcile it, Baiguan agreed, but it still failed to change Baiguan's determination.

"Great meeting!"

During the Song Dynasty, there was a great court meeting every month. All officials of the fifth rank and above in the court had to attend court, and Fan Zheng was no exception. This immediately gave all officials an opportunity.

"Reporting to the official family, the ministers impeached Fan Taicheng...

"Fan Taicheng came up with an evil recipe! The killing was too heavy and it is an insult to the name of our great Song Dynasty."

………………

All of a sudden, all the officials in the court seized the opportunity and impeached Fan Zheng one after another, revealing all of Fan Zheng's previously unruly and evil ways.

Fan Chunli couldn't help but change his expression when he saw this. He didn't expect that all the officials would conspire with him and openly jointly impeach Fan Zheng at the court meeting.

With the power gathered by hundreds of officials, even the officials must be cautious. In order to appease the officials, the officials will definitely abandon Fan Zheng.

"You traitor, I have long warned you not to provoke those rotten scholars. Now that you are better, I am afraid that even I can't protect you." Fan Chunli secretly hated him.

"Please ask the officials to severely punish Fan Zheng!" In the court hall, hundreds of officials pressed the palace.

Only a few medical party officials led by Fan Chunli and Su Song supported Fan Zheng.

Zhao Xu's face was solemn, and he waved his hand and said: "I have already said that Fan Taicheng has returned triumphantly and has served the country well. How can the court treat a meritorious minister harshly? There is no need to pay attention to this matter." "Think twice about it! The government favors him. If it goes too far, if evil doctors do not change their righteous and evil nature, they will one day become a serious trouble and even endanger the country!" an old censor shouted loudly.

Moral kidnapping is only one of the reasons why hundreds of officials target Fan Zheng. What is more important is the huge power in Fan Zheng's hands.

Fan Zheng became a forensic doctor and controlled the resources and manpower of the entire medical family. Although he was only the chief physician, in the medical family, even the imperial doctor's orders were obeyed by Fan Zhengyan.

In addition, Fan Zheng also controls the Ordnance Supervision, is responsible for the production of gunpowder weapons, and controls the Royal Bank with 20 million yuan, not to mention Fan Zheng still has huge influence in the army.

In other words, although Fan Zheng was only a fourth-rank official, the power he controlled was comparable to that of six ministers.

Yang Wei said seriously: "Fan Taicheng holds many positions, is greedy for power, acts domineering, and is arbitrary and single-minded. Is this a big taboo?"

"Fan Taicheng has just passed his prime years, and he is already ranked as a fourth-rank official in the court. He also controls such great power. I am afraid that in ten years, the officials will have no reward, so what should I do?" Cai Jing did not hesitate. He would give Fan Zheng another blow.

This time, even Fan Chunli was speechless. After all, Fan Zheng had too much power at such a young age. It can be said that the trust of officials in Fan Zheng was unprecedented.

Zhao Xu snorted coldly when he saw this and said: "I have no intention of favoring Fan Taicheng. All of Fan Taicheng's official positions are the accumulation of his merits. If you can achieve extraordinary achievements like Fan Taicheng, I will not hesitate to grant you the title of marquis and the prime minister." "

Baiguan did not expect that Zhao Xu would be so determined. He would rather offend Baiguan than take the initiative to defend Fan Zheng.

However, Zhao Xu's words left them speechless. After all, Fan Zheng's achievements were all real, and the power in his hands was implemented according to his evil methods to achieve such great achievements.

"Officials should think twice. As a virtuous minister of the emperor, you should not believe in treacherous people. The evil doctor Fan Zheng is following an evil path. He can only achieve temporary benefits. In the long run, he will harm the country and the people. Do the officials want to be a stupid king?" When Old Censor Feng saw the officials protecting Fan Zheng, he immediately repeated his old tricks and began to kidnap Zhao Xu morally.

Zhao Xu suddenly looked at Old Censor Feng with a cold face and said: "As far as I know, Feng Aiqing is nearly sixty years old. I am particularly gracious and allow Feng Aiqing to retire early and enjoy his old age!"

"Ah!" The old censor named Feng suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning. He looked at Zhao Xu in disbelief. He did not expect Fan Zheng's reaction to be so strong.

Feng Yushi looked at the people from the old and new parties on the left and right again. Everyone involuntarily averted their eyes. All the officials in the court knew that Zhao Xu was already angry and how could he dare to speak for him.

"Thank you for the official gift!"

The old censor named Feng couldn't help but staggered. He was already old and would retire if he could not go further. He originally wanted to suppress Fan Zheng from the moral high ground and use this to gain fame and gain support from the court and the central government, so as to go further.

But he didn't expect that he would offend the officials and ask him to retire early.

When he walked to the door of the main hall, he saw Fan Zheng at the end of the hundred officials and angrily shouted: "Evil doctor Fan Zheng, you have killed too many people and acted evilly. One day, you will be written into the history books and be infamy for thousands of years."

Fan Zheng sneered and said: "Since ancient times, killing people in war has never been catastrophic. Bai Qi killed 400,000 surrendered soldiers and was known as the God of Killing. Min Ran issued an order to kill the Hu and let the Jie tribe be exterminated directly, but he saved the entire Han nation. Fan It is Fan's biggest responsibility to lead troops on an expedition, fulfill military orders, and allow the soldiers who follow him to come back alive as much as possible. Fan is worthy of his officials and soldiers, and he is not afraid of any slander."

"You are the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and you have always been full of ideas. How dare you say that when you formulated the evil prescription of using humans as locusts, you did not expect this outcome!" The old censor named Feng said angrily.

Fan Zheng was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "It was caused by locusts, not even a blade of grass can grow. When Fan used this evil recipe, he had expected such consequences. You will put these sins on Fan." , and it’s not wrong!”

"what!"

No one expected that Fan Zheng would admit this crime in public. Fan Chunli couldn't help but look at his son worriedly. If these hundreds of thousands of injustices were imputed to his son, his reputation would be greatly damaged.

The old censor named Feng angrily rebuked: "You are the executioner, you are the murderous maniac."

"A murderer? With only hundreds of thousands of people killed, he can be called a murderer." Fan Zheng laughed loudly when he heard this, and his expression became so crazy.

"A mere few hundred thousand!"

All the officials couldn't help but feel happy. Once Fan Zheng said this, no one could save him.

"Heart disease!"

Seeing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel shocked, and couldn't help but think of Fan Zheng's past.

Not only did he suffer from heart disease, Fan Zheng had always had heart disease. When he was in the Su Mansion, he had suffered from heart disease and wrote "Man Jiang Hong".

Fan Zheng sneered, looked around at the ministers and sighed: "Fan has been obsessed with war recently, and has experienced many days of moral kidnapping. Suddenly he felt inspired and wanted to recite a poem. Please appreciate it."

"Reciting poetry?"

The scholar-bureaucrats in the court couldn't help but pause. At this moment, they remembered how amazing Fan Zheng's poems were, and every time they were famous poems.

Nowadays, the scholar-bureaucrats in the Manchu Dynasty can't help but sigh. They have longed for Fan Zheng's eternal famous poems, and they also understand that Fan Zheng's poems may be detrimental to them.

"You traitor, don't be presumptuous!" Fan Chunli scolded him because he was afraid that Fan Zheng would act recklessly.

Zhao Xu was moved in his heart and said: "It doesn't matter! I have admired Fan Taicheng's poetry for a long time, so I just happened to hear it."

He has personally experienced heart disease. If he cannot find a cure, it will become worse. Fan Zheng cured his heart disease in the Su Mansion with the song "Man Jiang Hong".

Fan Zheng looked around and said proudly: "Fan once wrote "Young Song Dynasty" and used it as a guideline. Fan's actions over the years can be said to be worthy of the heroic promises made in "Young Song Dynasty"."

All the officials couldn't help but be silent. Fan Zheng did indeed make achievements that made them all ashamed when he was young.

"Now that Fan has reached his prime, he is no longer a young man, but a man of the Song Dynasty. Today I will compose a song called "A Man's Journey" for your guidance." Fan Zheng said loudly.

""A Man's Journey"!"

Fan Chunli breathed a sigh of relief. "Young Song Dynasty" is an article of determination, and "A Man's Journey" must be the same, which reassured him a little. (End of chapter)
