Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty Eight: Falling Down
Chapter 438: Stone in the wrong
Wang Fu was so angry that he was not very famous. Although his reputation was not very good, such a big deal made him feel ashamed and angry. In his opinion, corruption and abuse of power and attacking political enemies was also a skill, but what was it to urinate anywhere?
Wang Fu glared at Chen Ao and said viciously: "Chen Ao, what is your intention in the court?"
Chen Ao said with a stern face: "My dirty words are always better than Lord Wang's practice, right?"
"You are slandering."
"Whether to slander or not, Lord Wang knows it in his heart!" Chen Ao sneered at him. Did this guy slander too little? Today he also told him to know the feeling of being slandered! Chen Ao has some ways to deal with such people!
The two of them argued with each other, making the whole court strange, but they didn't dare to speak. At this time, everyone began to think of Zhao Ji's attitude. The two ministers attacked each other here, why didn't Your Majesty care? There was only one possibility. Chen Ao's attack on Wang Fu was instructed by Your Majesty.
Therefore, these two people were in a fierce relationship, but no one dared to come out and say anything!
"Cough cough..." Zhao Ji finally coughed, stroked his beard and said with a grin: "Okay, don't mess around, how can you behave like this?"
Zhao Ji finally spoke, but he couldn't refuse. He waved his hand and said, "Retreat!"
His Majesty left, Chen Ao giggled at Wang Fu, raised his legs and left. The other ministers did not dare to stay and retreated one after another. Only Wang Fu was left, but he was in a state of dismay!
What did Your Majesty mean just now? Wang Fu couldn't figure it out for a moment, but he thought about it again, smiled bitterly, and then went home with a sad face.
According to common sense, when court officials were impeached, they had to write a memorial of self-defense or confession, regardless of whether the evidence was conclusive. Wang Fu returned home, locked himself in the study, and immediately held a pen to defend himself. Naturally, he scolded Chen Ao a few words, saying that he turned black and white and pointed out that the deer was a horse. However, when the memorial was about to end, he suddenly stopped moving.
Whether it is self-disputed or apologizing for guilt, the ministers must be a little reserved. The so-called reserve means writing a few polite words after the memorial, such as saying that the minister is dizzy in his eyes and asking for retirement. This is a common example. After it is proposed, usually after being sent to the palace, the emperor will reply that I believe in my beloved, and you should not mention retirement or other things.
This kind of politeness in words is also a way to prove your innocence. Although it is complicated, it always has to be deflected and pretentious.
But Wang Fu couldn't help frowning when he thought of this, for fear that the palace would be able to be sure after he resigned. He had spent most of his life as an official position. Once he retired, he would be nothing. While he was pondering, he finally gritted his teeth and wrote: "The old minister has been blurred recently and exhausted. I hope Your Majesty will be sure to retire."
Immediately, someone was sent to the palace and waited for punishment at home.
But the jokes about him have been circulated for a long time. Originally, Wang Fu's official voice was not good, but now such a joke has been spreading in the market. This issue of Suiya Weekly also jokes about this.
Even in the mansion, some servants secretly joked about this. Wang Fu could only pretend that he had not heard it, but understood that this joke had ruined him and could no longer raise his head.
Just when he was shocked and suspicious, the imperial edict was sent from the palace. A father-in-law arrived at the young master's mansion and began to recite arrogantly. Wang Fu knelt down and listened. It was okay to say in front of him. The emperor comforted him, saying that he did not have to be surprised and suspicious. Chen Ao spoke nonsense. I have scolded him well. This matter was purely a matter of nothing. But what happened later was wrong. It means: I heard what Wang Qing's family said, and I also knew that the Qing's family was old and the Wang Qing's family worked hard and made great contributions. In this way, I allowed to retire and return home.
After reading the imperial edict, Wang Fu was already sweating profusely. Unexpectedly, after working hard for most of his life, he ended up in dismay. He received the order in depression. The father-in-law said lukewarmly: "Your Majesty also said that Lord Wang must be eager to return home. Let's leave Beijing today. Go pack your luggage and get back to the palace to report your life."
This sentence is like driving Wang Fu out of the capital. When the servants of the Wang family saw this situation, they knew that Wang Fu was out of the way. The entire Shao Zaifu was in chaos. Some of them had rolled up gold and silver objects, some were crying in a mess, and even Wang Fu could not stop them. The officials were absent-minded. Although the loyal and honest wanted to scold him, they no longer had their former prestige. The descendants were also in a mess. Several concubines took their wealth and wanted to escape, but were stopped by their wife. They started fighting and no one stopped them. Many people have said that the family leader had lost his holy family. Now the official family will be punished sooner or later, and then it may not be said that it will harm the whole family. Therefore, when the wife is like a madman, she is pulled in a mess, no one will help her.
After all, Wang Fu is not generous at ordinary times, and many of the servants in this mansion have been attached to him by seeing his power. Now the jealous power has disappeared. The tree fell down and the monkeys scattered. Who would still follow him back to his hometown?
After all, Wang Fu was still a little shocked and didn't care about his family for the time being. He immediately called a few loyal family members to guard the warehouse. He had been an official for so many years and had plundered more than one million yuan in silver. Even if he couldn't succeed in this official, he would not be in trouble when he returned to the village.
I felt sad and called several clan brothers who had clans to discuss. These brothers had at least an official position. Now that I saw Wang Fu fall, I also knew that he was in trouble. Now I feel that I would just resign with Wang Fu. Anyway, I cling to him, and I always have no worries about food and clothing.
Wang Fu explained his way out and finally calmed down. Although his heart was like a thorn in his throat, he had to calm down and command him to ask someone to pack his luggage.
However, the Wang family is very prosperous and the luggage loading of a hundred trucks is not enough, so they have to give up furniture and only hold gold, silver and jewelry. After a whole morning, they have been busy and have a clue.
The father-in-law who was delivering the order sat in the gatehouse with a few imperial guards, neither helping nor stopping the escaped slaves. He was drinking tea leisurely and watching coldly.
Wang Fu wanted to say a few polite words, but he felt that the father-in-law must be Yang Jian's person. He said it was useless. He couldn't help but look at the Cai Mansion outside the wall. Seeing that there was no movement from the Cai Mansion, he felt even more moved.
It was at this moment that a chief staggered over and said aii: "Great... Sir, Shen Ao is here."
Shen Ao? Wang Fu's heart skipped a beat. He was just thinking about leaving Beijing safely and was unwilling to have any more troubles. Although the hard-working official was gone, he could finally be a rich man. But what did Shen Ao do at this time?
Wang Fu quickly walked to the gatehouse and saw Shen Ao and his father-in-law who was delivering an order in the gatehouse, asking about his well-being. Standing behind Shen Ao, there was a guy dressed in a Liao Dynasty.
Wang Fu hesitated for a moment, walked over, and sneered: "Did Lord Shen come to see the joke?"
Shen Ao stopped chatting with the father-in-law, looked at Wang Fu with a smile and said, "Where is this? Shen heard that Lord Wang had retired, so he hurried to say goodbye to the Lord." Then he turned around and introduced to Wang Fu: "This is Yelu Daye, the envoy of Liao Kingdom. Haha, he has been looking forward to Lord Wang for a long time, so he came to see him."
Yelu Daye smiled at Chen Ao as flatteredly, then raised his fists and bowed to Wang Fu: "I heard from Lord Shen that Lord Wang is honest and honest, and he admires him very much."
Facing the Liao people, Wang Fu had to squeeze out a few smiles: "I admire you for a long time."
Chen Ao said, "Mr. Yelu doesn't know that our king is famous for being honest. Look at his house, don't be confused. The surface is very big, but in fact, there is nothing good inside."
Yelu Daye nodded repeatedly as if he was taught.
Chen Ao continued: "Mr. Wang, the young master, has only one year's annual salary of only 100 guan. In the past few decades, I have only saved 2,000 guan in silver. The usual amount is directed at this salary. Alas, now that he has been in office, he is afraid that he has not much wealth on his body, and it is only 500 guan. I feel very sorry when I think that Lord Wang has returned to his hometown and has a difficult life." As he said that, he took out a hundred guan money from his body and handed it to Wang Fu: "This is someone Chen's little intention. Please accept it with a smile."
Yelu Daye also felt a little embarrassed, but unfortunately he didn't bring any money to him, so he had to take off a jade pendant and said, "Please accept it with a smile, sir."
Wang Fu was secretly alert in his heart and said coldly: "Mr. Shen should keep the money for yourself. For money, Mr. Wang doesn't have to ask for it on your head."
Seeing that Wang Fu refused to answer, Chen Ao sat down in the doorman awkwardly: "Then I'll drink tea here, Lord Wang will do it." Then he started chatting with his father-in-law who was delivering the order.
There was such a guy blocking the door. Wang Fu felt very uncomfortable, but he was no longer in the mood to care about it. Now that he has fallen to this point, he can only let people laugh and scold him. He commanded the people to load the important goods into the car and was about to leave Beijing in a hurry, but when he arrived at the gatehouse, he encountered trouble.
The carriage was about to pass through the side door, but was stopped by Chen Ao. Chen Ao wiped his tears and said, "It would be great that all the officials of my Song Dynasty are as honest as Lord Wang? Brother Yelu, look, Lord Wang's car has come out, and his house is wrapped in the car and is not airtight, even if he is afraid that someone will see his embarrassment. If I guess right, the car must be some ragged cloth and torn clothes. Lord Wang can wear a piece of clothing for twenty years, and he is reluctant to throw it away after patches. This spirit is not only my backwards, but you Liao people cannot fall behind."
Yelu Daye said in admiration: "It must, sure, after I go back, I will submit a memorial to the Emperor of the Great Liao to promote the integrity of Lord Wang."
As he was talking, Chen Ao said with grief: "Then let me show you what kind of cloth clothes we Lord Wang usually wears." He walked to the car and lifted up the thick felt cloth. His eyes suddenly became colorful, with copper coins, gold and silver, and beautiful jade scattered all over the floor.
Yelu Daye's eyes were straightened and he was thinking in his heart: "This is also called integrity? It seems that all of us, Daliao, are Baolongtu."
