Chapter 149: Complicated

On the thirtieth day of the first month, Wu Fanhui reported to the Ministry of Rites and got the entrance examination for the examination. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The officials of the Ministry of Rites looked at Wu Fanhui and were very surprised, there were very few people who had not yet reported to the Ministry of Rites, and the young Wu Fanhui was a trial solution in Shaanxi Township, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites must have been shocked when they saw Wu Fanhui's age on the information.

Wu Fanhui didn't have anything to be proud of, his expression was also stable, and he had a mature enough mind.

On the first day of the second lunar month, Wu Fanhui prepared a gift, and he first had to visit the right spring fang of Zhan Shifu to praise Lu Weibiao.

Lu Weibiao is really helpful to him Wu Fanhui, and he must be the first to visit.

Lu Weibiao lives in Jinchengfang, near Fuchengmen, and the City God Temple is also in this area, speaking of which the place is still good, but Lu Weibiao's house is very small, smaller than the house Wu Fanhui bought in Mizhi County, but the house in the capital is not comparable to other places, and the price is even more different.

The officials in the capital do not live in the official office, up to the first-rank officials, down to the officials from the ninth grade, the official office will not provide you with any accommodation, you have to rely on your own lease or purchase, unless you are an official on duty, you must be instilled on duty, which is different from the yamen of the provincial capital, state and county, and the Beijing official can bring his family and live with his family, as long as you have enough silver and a large enough mansion.

Don't think that this is a good welfare treatment, the early dynasty time of the Forbidden City, generally is the Mao time, the officials above the fourth grade in the capital, as well as the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Shifu, are all to participate, only the emperor can live in the Forbidden City, and the other officials are sorry, no matter how many high-ranking officials you are, the early dynasty is to arrive on time, so the officials who live far away have to get up in the middle of the night and go to the Forbidden City to participate in the early dynasty.

The emperor often bestows the following civil and military ministers, but they don't need to go to court every morning, which is a great favor.

Therefore, Jingguan generally sleeps very early, and basically rests around the time to ensure the sleep time every day.

There are not many family members of Beijing officials who come to the capital, but there is a clear rule, that is, the family members of cabinet ministers and military ministers above the third rank must live in the capital, which is nominally the emperor's concern, but in fact, it is to prevent cabinet ministers and military ministers from rebelling.

The vast majority of Beijing officials are southerners, and the climate in the south is obviously better than in the north, and the families of Beijing officials are generally reluctant to leave, and there are parents at home who need to wait, so they generally do not go to the capital.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, the first to the third day of the new month belongs to the time of rest, that is, three days off, let the officials adjust, and the next month, don't think about being able to rest.

Whether it is an official from other places who comes to visit a Beijing official, or a student who visits his teacher, he basically uses this time, and there are also people who visit on weekdays, which is an unusual relationship.

Lu Weibiao's ancestral home is Taiyuan, Shanxi, which is not very far from the capital, and the house in the capital is very small, so he did not take his family to the capital, so it is also a lot more convenient for a person, of course, this convenience covers many aspects.

"Qian Jue, when did you arrive in the capital?"

"Teacher, Qian Jue arrived in the capital at the end of the first month."

Lu Weibiao looked at Wu Fanhui, very surprised, people who went to Beijing to catch the exam, I can't wait to come a year ago, Wu Fanhui, the Shaanxi Township to try to solve the Yuan, actually came to the capital at the end of the first month.

"Qian Jue, in fact, you should have come to the capital earlier."

"The students also want to come to the capital earlier, but there are indeed a lot of things in the family, and some can't leave, and the teacher has been in Mizhi County for more than three years, and he also knows the situation."

"Also, I heard that He Fangzhen, the patriarch of the He family, passed away, and you have handled the relationship with the new patriarch He Luoxuan well."

"The student just doesn't want to calculate too much between the family, so he reconciles with He Luoxuan, and there is no other meaning."

"It's good to deal with it this way, I've been in Mizhi County for three years, and I know some of the situation, if the two families tear their faces, they will lose both sides in the end, by the way, you came to the capital, haven't you visited Lord Wang Xiang."

"No, the students came to the teacher first, and after meeting the teacher, they will visit Lord Wang."

"There's no need to visit Lord Wang Xiang, at the end of last year, Lord Wang Xiang had been dismissed from office and returned to his hometown."

Wu Fanhui was greatly surprised, Wang Xiang presided over the Shaanxi Township Examination, and only left Xi'an Fucheng in October and returned to the capital, how could he be dismissed in just over a month.

"The students are bold, I don't know why Lord Wang was dismissed."

"I don't know why, it involved Yuan Chonghuan's case, the cabinet Qian Longxi was imprisoned, and the former military department Shangshu Wang Qia was killed, it is said that the matter was completely over at the end of August last year, but I don't know why, it was mentioned again at the end of October, and as a result, someone revealed that there was a connection between Lord Wang Xiang and Yuan Chonghuan, I also think it is strange, Lord Wang Xiang is just the supervision of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, how can there be anything to do with Yuan Chonghuan, and the Imperial History has the duty of impeachment, and helps Yuan Chonghuan say a few words in the twists and turns, That's normal ... ”

Wu Fanhui listened carefully, in fact, he already understood the mystery, that is, there was someone in the court who wanted to kill them all, and this person was none other than Wen Tiren, the cabinet minister and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Wen Tiren was the one who wanted to kill Yuan Chonghuan, and he also persuaded the emperor, and finally achieved his goal.

Wen Tiren is a scheming person, and he will definitely not let go of those who are in contact with Yuan Chonghuan, as for the dismissal of Wang Xiang, there is some taste of killing chickens for monkeys to see, on the one hand, it shows his authority, and on the other hand, he warns some people who are ready to move.

There are countless comments on Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru in history, both positive and negative, but in general, the two are classified as traitors, but the interesting thing is that the first to come to this conclusion is still the Donglin Party.

Wu Fanhui was worried about whether Wang Xiang was questioned because of the Shaanxi Township Examination, because he vaguely remembered that during the Luming Banquet, the relationship between Wang Xiang and Li Yingqi and others was not very harmonious.

Seeing Wu Fanhui pondering, Lu Weibiao then spoke.

"Qian Jue, you don't have to think too much, Lord Wang Xiang was dismissed, it has nothing to do with the township test in Shaanxi, but what you wrote in the township test: eat the people's food, wear the people's clothes, Mo Dao people can be bullied, and they are also the people; It is not honorable to gain an official, it is not humiliating to lose an official, not to mention that an official is useless, and the place depends on the words of an official, which has even attracted the attention of the emperor. ”

If the emperor is interested, he can read it, and it is generally reviewed by the Ministry of Rites, and if there is a good article in it, it will also be recommended to the emperor to see.

The young Emperor Chongzhen, noticing this sentence, was not a big deal, after all, the young emperor was ambitious, so he wanted to create a prosperous era.

"Teacher, students are just excited, students have grown up in Ma'anshan Village since they were children, and sometimes they think more."

"It's not simple, to be able to write such words at such an age shows the depth of understanding."

Wu Fanhui didn't want to continue to talk about this matter, he came to visit Lu Weibiao, and his task was completed, as for the things in the court, Lu Weibiao would definitely not say anything.

He was about to leave, thinking that the possibility of eating here at Lu Weibiao was very small.

"Qian Jue, you are the first time to come to the capital, the county test, the government test, the hospital test and the township test, all of which are very smooth, so there are some things in the capital, you don't understand very well, Lord Wang Xiang was dismissed and went home, and no one will remind you what you need to pay attention to, I have also thought carefully these days, you and I are finally fateful, I still have to remind you to pay attention."

"First, the people in the capital who are rushing to take the exam, what kind of poetry will be held, what kind of poetry competition, Saiwen meeting, etc., you are Shaanxi Township test Xie Yuan, you will definitely accept the invitation, but this kind of so-called poetry competition, it is no longer a competition to write poems and articles, but a review of the court situation, enthusiastic moves, it is inevitable to say some impassioned words, you are still young, pay more attention to this aspect."

"Second, a lot of moves, after coming to the capital, will go to visit the lords of the court, for example, many movers in the south will visit the local adults in the capital, which is understandable, but if it involves the court, you still have to pay more attention."

"Third, after all, it is the location of the Beijing Division, whether it is speaking and doing things, or words and deeds, you must pay more attention, not casual, let alone by your own temperament, although you are Shaanxi Township to try to solve the Yuan, but it is better to be low-key in the capital."

。。。

After saying goodbye, Wu Fanhui got into the carriage.

Lu Weibiao's words have long attracted his attention, and the matter of the scholars and scholars in the south has long been very clear, and even the impact in the capital is not small, such as the Donglin Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party and the Fushe, etc., and this kind of grouping with regional colors directly points to politics, and the shock generated cannot be underestimated, and even directly affects the direction of the court.

Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, Wen Tiren fell into the well, Yuan Chonghuan, etc., all have the shadow of party struggle behind them, and even the game between Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party members is summarized as a struggle between the eunuch party and the Donglin party.

As soon as he stepped into the capital, Wu Fanhui had to face these things, although he had read a lot of articles about the party struggle in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, but what the reality was, those who commented on it after a few hundred years were not necessarily clear, so he needed to understand and face it himself.

Lu Weibiao's reminder is very timely, at least it makes Wu Fanhui feel the complexity of the situation, and he can't take it lightly at any time, otherwise he won't know why he will suffer.

Wu Fanhui still has a bottom in his heart, and age can help him a lot at some times, perhaps in the eyes of most people, he is just a scholar with outstanding knowledge, but he has a very good knowledge, lacks an understanding of social common sense, and is not clear about the game in officialdom.

Of course, Wu Fanhui will take advantage of such favorable conditions to win the best environment for himself.
