Chapter 220 Lost Shang Shu Ling

(The 4000-word chapter is dedicated to everyone, work hard tomorrow, thank you~~haha.)
What Zheng Xinglin came to report was of course Fang Jixin's injury.Before he went to Fang's house for treatment, he received an oral order from the emperor ordering him to come to Zichen Hall to report after the treatment.It's just that he came in a hurry.

Originally, this matter was not so urgent, and Fang Jixin would not get better or die for a while, but Fang Jixin's position of minister was too important, Zheng Xinglin was not sure how important Fang Jixin's injury was to the court, considering his kind Injured, I still came to Zichen Palace.

Who knows how much the emperor valued Lord Fang's injury?There is nothing wrong with being cautious.

What Zheng Xinglin reported was obviously not what Emperor Chongde liked to hear.After hearing Zheng Xinglin's words, his face became gloomy, he stared at Zheng Xinglin and asked, "You mean, Fang Jixin can't walk anymore?"

Zheng Xinglin was stared at by him like this, and felt that his body was covered with icy scum, and a chill rushed into his heart in an instant, and he replied bravely: "This minister thinks so, Mr. Fang was injured too badly. The knife wound on his body It won't be fatal, but when he was injured and fell down, his spine must have hit something very hard and it was already broken..."

As he described, Fang Jixin's injuries will heal slowly, but the broken spine cannot be reattached, no matter how many days of treatment, it will not get better, and his condition is very serious, too many people have been diagnosed and treated Zheng Xinglin has been able to accurately judge the result.

The result is obvious, that is: Fang Jixin will be able to lie down in the future, and will never stand up again!

Fang Jixin's injury was beyond Emperor Chongde's expectation.He thought that Fang Jixin would get better slowly, or die from serious injuries, no matter which one was expected, but he didn't expect it to be like this.Can't stand up anymore?what does that mean?
Emperor Chongde knew what this meant, it meant that Fang Jixin, the minister, had to be replaced.Any official in Dading can be a minister, but he can't be someone who can't stand up.Verdict by word and deed, the selection rules are here, and Fang Jixin's career as an official has come to an end.

For Emperor Chongde, this news meant that Fang Jixin had no need to protect him.What would he want a cripple to do?A useless person can't cooperate with his next plan, which also means that the matter in his heart will not be accomplished.

In just a few moments, various thoughts flashed through Emperor Chongde's mind, and finally he lowered his eyelids and said, "I see, you step back."

Shen Du, who was staying in Zichen Palace, breathed a sigh of relief again after hearing Emperor Chongde's words.What he expected was right, as long as Fang Jixin is no longer worth protecting, the emperor will definitely not protect him!
Whether or not to protect Fang Jixin is not very important in itself, but whether to protect or not implies the emperor's attitude towards the man in black, and also implies the emperor's attitude towards the army.This is what Shen Du attaches great importance to.

The emperor's attitude towards the army represented the peace or turmoil of Dading's army.What Shen Du is most afraid of is that the emperor will take advantage of the Fang family's incident to set off a prelude to bloodbath in the army.
Such a result is absolutely unacceptable to Shen Du.For this reason, Shen Du did not hesitate to stain his hands with blood, and ordered Chen Wei to smash Fang Jixin's spine so that he would never be able to stand up!

A Shangshuling who can't stand up has no effect on the court.Even if the emperor wanted to use Fang Jixin to seek something, he would be cautious and retreat.

Fortunately, he was right!The emperor was really cautious, and then retreated.

When he left Zichen Palace, Shen Du's forehead was still stained with sweat.Among them, some came out naturally, and some were forced out by him with internal force.When I was in the palace, I didn't feel anything, but when I came out, I felt unbearably sticky, which made my heart cramped.
After leaving Miyagi, Shen Du didn't go to Zhongshu Province, nor did he go to Fang's house, but went straight back to Shen's house, and still headed towards the Shen family's east garden. It wasn't until he saw Shen Su that he felt his heart constricted and retreated. Also a lot smoother.

Shen Su is still recovering from his injuries. Although his beard and hair have turned gray, his complexion has gradually improved.Without the pain of tearing up his meridians every day, his expression was much less cold and vicious, and he looked more and more like an ordinary old man.

"Father, I'm back." Shen Du tried to calm himself down, and greeted Shen Su with a smile.

Of course Shen Su was surprised to see Shen Du rushing back.Especially Shen Du's eyes were filled with rare panic, just like back then.

"What happened? What are you afraid of?" Shen Su stood up, asked nervously, and turned him around to look him over carefully.

Shen Du took Huben soldiers to Fang's house, of course Shen Su knew about it.Those men in black are definitely not the opponents of Huben soldiers, so what's the matter?
After being asked by Shen Su, Shen Du came back to his senses, and then realized that his palms were full of sweat.This cramped and swollen feeling in my heart is fear?Shen Su is his father, and will always be the source of his confidence and strength, that's why he hurried back to East Garden.

I'm afraid...

Shen Du covered his face, trying to hide his ugly face, and said in an authentic voice: "Father, Fang Jixin won't live long, I'll do it."

He will talk about what he did in Fang's house, including Fang Jixin's spine, Fang Mi and Fang Ke's serious injuries, and Zheng Xinglin's invisible contest with Emperor Chongde in Zichen Palace after being provoked by Huben soldiers to Zichen Palace. , of course, there is also the concession of Emperor Chongde.

"You did the right thing. There is nothing to be afraid of. Fang Jixin has been in the position of Shang Shuling for long enough, and his actions will be judged sooner or later. Since he hid those soldiers, his result has been doomed." Shen Su replied, his voice was still cold.

With Fang Jixin's current state, Shen Su felt that there was nothing to say at all, it was self-inflicted, that's all.If it wasn't for comforting Shen Du, he wouldn't even bother to say the word Fang Jixin.

The only thing Shen Su could care about about the Fang family was Shen Du's fear. As for the Fang family members, they were not in his consideration.And the master of Zichen Palace, Shen Su, also stepped aside.

"Those men in black didn't survive, and they didn't have any marks on them. Even if I knew they were in the army, I couldn't do anything about it. What I'm most afraid of is that after Fang Jixin is removed from the personnel affairs in black, the emperor will use this To deal with the Fu family, the army will be bloody again." Shen Du continued, speaking out his speculation about Emperor Chongde.

"He won't. Fang Jixin has become a useless person, so he won't. He is suspicious, but he is not stupid." Shen Su smiled "Jie Jie", a stern light flashed in his eyes.
It's not impossible for the Fang family's bloody case to fall on the Fu family's head.But Fang Jixin knew her students too well, and that person would not do this kind of crime, this kind of thing that would tarnish his reputation.

After all, if he did that, the meaning of framing would be too obvious, which is different from his desire to take Xijiangwei over.None of the officials in the DPRK are brain-dead, and most of them can see clearly what's going on.That person is flawless no matter what he does.One emperor through the ages is his obsession. Now that he is such a crippled body, he still enjoys the unique honor of an emperor teacher. Doesn't it illustrate this point?

Shen Du nodded, he understood what Shen Su said.Because of this, he made Chen Wei do those things.Just...just what?

"It's my boy who thinks too much." Shen Duhao said, trying to understand why he was afraid.Since he made a move against the opponent's family, he should follow the direction in his heart, and should not hesitate in the slightest.Apart from Fang Jixin, he only attacked Fang Mi, who was good at tactics, and Fang Ke, the prospective son-in-law, and he had already made up his mind.

"Although the emperor has retired, someone will definitely take advantage of the murder of the Fang family to deal with the Fu family. This matter is unknown, so you have to be careful." Shen Su patted Shen Du on the shoulder and reminded.

Fang Jixin couldn't stand up anymore. To the emperor, he was a useless person, but to some people, such a useless person was of great use.

Shen Su didn't know what to do. At this moment, someone was ordered to come to Qin Ji's study in Cheng Guogong's mansion on Taiping Qian Street.About half an hour later, Li Chu, the counselor beside Qin Ji, sent him out.

"Please don't worry, Xie Changshi. Since the Third Highness has issued an order, the crown prince will definitely settle this matter." Li Chu said this while sending the visitor off.

The visitor nodded, and soon left Cheng Guogong's mansion. As for whose order he obeyed and what he said, it is self-evident.
On the other side, Qin Ji thought about it, and then walked towards Qin Yi's study.On this matter, he still needs to listen to Qin Yi's thoughts, and see how he can complete His Highness's explanation and recover a little loss.

Qin Yi is in the study right now, and as Qin Ji expected, Qin Yi's face is extremely gloomy, which shows that he is in a bad mood.

Qin Yi's mood has fallen to the bottom.In the past year, things have not gone well in Cheng Guogong's mansion, and now Fang Jixin is added to the trouble. Qin Yi can't see anyone right now, and even Liu Ji, the most valued dead man around him, has been reprimanded several times by him. sentence.

Originally, Qin Yi still wanted to make Fang Jixin suffer, he planned to make a move at the last moment, unexpectedly, the current situation of the Fang family is actually like this!

He learned from Zheng Xinglin that Fang Jixin's injury would never heal, even if he was intensively nourishing it, it would be useless.Fang Jixin can no longer stand up, and will never stand up again!

A person who can't stand up is a useless person to Qin Yi!He will take action to save Fang's family, provided that Fang Jixin is still useful, the position of Shang Shu Ling can be preserved, and Shang Shu Sheng's power can also be maintained.Now, it becomes useless!

If Fang Jixin is no longer Shang Shuling, then what use is this person to Cheng Guo Gongfu? !It took so much money and energy for Cheng Guogong's government to issue a Shangshu Order to control the power of Shangshu Province.Now, seeing that the building is about to collapse, seeing that power has been lost in vain from the hands!

Of course, Duke Cheng's Mansion has other forces in Shangshu Province, but none of them are as high-ranking and useful as Fang Jixin.Rank is not only used to show the status of officials, it is also very useful.There are many things that can only be done with a certain level of quality.For example, entering and exiting the palace at any time is forbidden, and the official rank of the second rank is very smooth.

Even if Cheng Guogong's mansion has more money and power now, it will be very difficult to issue another Shangshu order from the second rank!
Thinking of all these losses, Qin Yi felt pain in his heart.Why did Fang Jixin have an accident with her spine?Why can't I stand up?And Fang Jixin's second son, who was good at scheming, why did he die?And the prospective son-in-law, Fang Ke, also died. It was too unexpected, too impossible!

"Liu Ji, go and investigate! Find out the causes of Fang Mi and Fang Ke's deaths. I suspect there is something wrong with their deaths. And Fang Jixin's spinal injury, falling on the stone steps can break her spine? Impossible!" After thinking about it, Qin Yi ordered.

Those men in black were hidden by Fang Jixin. It must be a bitter plan to slaughter Fang's family.Since it was a trick, it would definitely not hurt the roots, but now that Fang Mi is dead, Fang Ke is dead, and Fang Jixin is useless.This definitely wasn't done by the men in black, something must have gone wrong.

It's a pity that the important men of the Fang family were killed and injured, and none of the men in black survived.What happened to Fang's family at that time, Cheng Guogong's mansion did not know!

After Liu Ji took the order and left, Qin Yi set his eyes on Qin Ji, and said in a somewhat aggressive tone, "Ji'er, why are you here?"

"Father, Fang Jixin has been abolished, and Cheng Guogong's mansion has lost a Shangshuling, but it can still recover some losses." Qin Ji said, not caring about Qin Yi's slightly offensive tone.

"How do you say this?" Qin Yi asked, Qin Yi is definitely interested in things that can bring benefits to Cheng Guogong's mansion.
"The man in black is the one who assassinated Fu Ming. Who knows? Who would the murderer be if such a bloody case happened to the Fang family? Who did the Fang family offend? This is something that Jingzhao officials are interested in. Coincidentally, Fang Jixin targeted the Fu family in court earlier..." Qin Ji said slowly.

As long as those men in black were said to be sent by the Fu family, things would turn around.In this way, while the Fu family was being suspected by the emperor, there was such a murder case, so the Fu family could not escape!
Once the Fu family is defeated, Xijiangwei is in the pocket of His Highness the Third Highness, and the originally agreed successor can also be replaced quickly.This can be regarded as following the strategy of the general.It doesn't matter if there is Fang Jixin or not.

The more Qin Ji thought about it, the more he felt that the plan was feasible, and his eyes lit up involuntarily.

However, when Qin Yi heard Qin Ji's plan, he was not at all happy, but shook his head and said: "This plan is not feasible, there is no personal or physical evidence, and it is absolutely impossible to convict the Fu family based on rumors. "

Qin Yi had thought about the plan Qin Ji mentioned a long time ago. He thought about it when he saw the signal from Huben last night, but he finally denied it.This murder case is different from the impeachment sewage on the Xuanzheng Hall. There is no real evidence, and the people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will never file a file.

What's more, with the character of that old fox Yu Hengjing, if Duke Cheng's mansion really made such a statement, he would impeach Cheng Guo's mansion to death!Qin Ji was seldom afraid of people, but he was very afraid of Yu Hengjing's constant slobber, a piece of cowhide plaster that was eternally affectionate, and he shuddered just thinking about it.

"If this doesn't work, then wouldn't we have lost a minister in vain?! Father, this is impossible!" Qin Ji growled.

That's right, it's certainly not possible without Shang Shuling, but what can I do now?With his hands behind his back, Qin Yi frowned deeply, once again feeling that his power was being cut off bit by bit.
