Chapter 479: The Old Man Comes
In the first month of the twentieth year of Chenghua, although the New Year was not good, it really impressed all the courtiers, and such a thing is only difficult to happen once in a hundred years. Only Fang Yingwu knows that it will have to be staged again next year.
The eunuch Liang Fang was deposed, the monk Jixiao was expelled from the court, and some temple projects built by the Son of Heaven in the capital were also suspended. In recent years, the momentum of the treacherous flame has finally been curbed this time.
However, only Fang Yingwu knew that it was only Chenghua Tianzi who was in awe of the earthquake to rein in his temper, and when the limelight passed, he had to revert to his old ways, and then he went back and forth until he died.
Of course, the meat eaters of national events seek it, and Fang Yingwu can't manage so much with "people who are light-hearted", and now he is busy drinking with Xiang Chengxian to celebrate, and it is Xiang Dayushi who pays for it.
The theme of the celebration is to celebrate the Lantern Festival and congratulate Xiang Da Yushi on his fame, and the location is the He Niangzi Hotel, where the fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.
To be honest, the biggest beneficiaries recognized at the Former Heavenly Court Conference were Fang Qingzhi and Liu Mian, one of whom gained fame and the other who benefited. But in fact, Xiang Dayushi is also a beneficiary, but the benefits he gets are insignificant among the temple bosses, and no one cares.
But the bigwigs don't care doesn't mean that there is no benefit, Xiang Chengxian is the imperial history, the imperial history is a profession that eats by mouth, the greater the fame, the louder the natural speech, and the greater the right to speak.
The day before yesterday on the Golden Palace, Xiang Dayushi hit Wang Mo in the middle of the old man's defeat with a single shot, and he overwhelmed the audience, so that none of the courtiers in the palace came out to defend Liu Jue.
Afterwards, his fame skyrocketed, and some people talked about it. Xiang Yushi will work for another three or two years, maybe he will really be able to take charge of the imperial history.
Don't forget to dig the well, Xiang Chengxian's lines are all pointed out by Fang Yingwu, and it is not wrong for others to suspect that Xiang Yushi was ghosted by Fang Yingwu, so today Xiang Dayushi took the initiative to invite guests to dinner and celebrate with Fang Yingwu.
After drinking a few wines, Xiang Chengxian drunkenly raised his arms and shouted: "That feeling is so enjoyable, I can't stop at all!" has been an official for three years, and I still know where the cool point of the imperial history is! ”
Fang Yingwu silently summarized for Xiang Da Yushi in his heart, the cool point of the imperial history is nothing more than fighting big with a small one, and he can spray the big guy in the court with a seven-rank official body. And it's a legitimate squirt. Of course, the premise is that you can withstand the consequences.
Xiang Chengxian suddenly mentioned other things: "By the way, did you receive the letter?" Brother Hong is about to arrive in Tongzhou, and he will enter Beijing in about the next day or two. ”
Fang Yingwu nodded, "I saw the letter." In the past two days, I have been waiting for Brother Hong. ”
Brother Hong that the two said. Of course, it refers to Hong Song, an old friend in the township. When I was in Chun'an and Hangzhou. Hong Song, Xiang Chengxian, and Fang Yingwu are almost the golden partner trio, but compared to Xiang Chengxian and the resourceful Fang Yingwu, Hong Gongzi is the oldest. More upright and old-fashioned.
But honest people are not blessed, in the sixteenth year of Chenghua's township examination, Fang Yingwu and Xiang Chengxian were not very honest, but Hong Gongzi fell off the list, and the trio parted ways.
However, after all, Hong Gongzi was born in the Chun'an Wang family, and his reading skills are solid, and he was still promoted in high school in the Zhejiang Township Examination last year, which was the nineteenth year of Chenghua.
In the next year, it was the spring of the Beijing division in February this year, and of course Hong Song had to enter Beijing to take the exam, and continue to work hard for the sake of the middle jinshi.
Thinking that this year is the year of the imperial examination, Fang Yingwu and Xiang Chengxian are a little embarrassed. Three years have passed in a flash, and now a new wave of candidates is full of hope, and the two of them can also point their fingers as seniors.
Speaking of Hong Song, Xiang Chengxian discussed with Fang Yingwu: "You and I are both proud, and Brother Hong is the oldest, but he has been stumbling for three years.
This year, he has already passed the age of standing, and the results of the Chunqiu Science Field are still unpredictable, if you continue to delay your door is much bigger than me, is there a way to help Brother Hong this time? ”
Fang Yingwu pondered for a moment, frowned and sighed, "I've thought about this too. It's hard, it's hard! ”
With many years of friendship with Hong Song, there is no need for Hong Song to open his mouth at all, of course Fang Yingwu will take the initiative to help if he can.
But just now, Fang Yingwu was in his mind, and he sorted out his relationship network again. This kind of thing is the most fatal thing about the joints of the imperial examination, and if something happens, it will be completely finished. Therefore, it is necessary to find the most reliable and trustworthy relationship, otherwise it is better not to find it.
What Fang Yingwu can meet the conditions here is nothing more than his own three mountains. The first mountain, Liu Mian, can only arrive in Beijing in April, and if he can't catch up with the examination in February, he will definitely not be able to help;
The second mountain, Wang Zhi, is not good, the science field is a reserved holy place in the minds of scholars, and it is better to rot in the pot than let the eunuch interfere, unless the eunuch can dominate to the point of Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian. Wang Zhi is obviously not enough to work compared to Liu Wei, so he can't help.
The third mountain is his father, although he is an old man from Wupin Chunfang and Hanlin, although his level is not low, but his qualifications are not deep enough to be the examiner.
If you can't do the main exam, it doesn't make much sense. At most, I can only get close to the water like last time, and copy some review articles from the Hanlin Academy.
Xiang Chengxian also knew the difficulties and sighed. Seeing that it was already afternoon outside the window, he got up and said goodbye: "Brother Hong's affairs will be talked about when Brother Hong comes." Today is the Lantern Festival, don't delay the reunion, you and I will go home separately! ”
Fang Yingwu invited: "How about going to the alley of the Jiaofang branch tomorrow night?" Xiang Chengxian smiled bitterly and waved his hand to refuse: "Don't laugh, you know." ”
Fang Yingwu laughed and watched Xiang Chengxian leave.
It is said that since Xiang Chengxian became the imperial historian and his future was stable, Mrs. Xiang came to the capital from her hometown with a lot of silver. Since then, Xiang Chengxian's hands have been loose again, and he bought a house near Fang's house, but Xiang Dagongzi, who crisscrosses Flower Street and Willow Lane, has disappeared in the rivers and lakes.
In fact, in Fang Yingwu's opinion, this is fine, being a special style constitutional official like the imperial history is different from other official positions, and it is not a bad thing to be strict with himself.
Fang Yingwu called the little guy who ran to the hall to call He Niangzi, and he wanted to explain a few words. However, he was told that He Niangzi went out and didn't know what to do.
In this way, Fang Yingwu returned to the county office, arranged a patrol duty tonight, and then also went home for the holiday.
Still an old habit, Fang Yingwu took Fang Yingshi to travel in micro-clothes, and walked all the way to the mouth of the alley where Fang's house was located. Fang Yingwu lowered his head and thought about his thoughts, but Fang Yingshi's eyes were sharp, and he pointed to the front and asked, "Look who that is!" ”
Fang Yingwu looked up, but saw Wang Zhi standing opposite and looking at him, next to him, one on the left and one on the right, respectively Sun Xiaoniang and He Niangzi.
Fang Yingwu was slightly stunned, and suddenly bumped into two mistresses and a prospective mistress near the door of his house, especially at the time of reunion, this feeling was really weird. (To be continued......)
PS: I wasn't busy until noon, and I started to code words in the afternoon, and the pressure was so great! It is estimated that you have to pinch the stopwatch to see the time when you eat and go to the toilet at night......
