Fang Yingwu left the left gate of Chang'an and walked all the way to Xicheng. As he approached the door, he suddenly looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was following him and no one around knew him, he left the street and ran into a small alley.

Then Fang Yingwu ran several small alleys in a row, but he was far away from home. It wasn't until he was sure that there was no one around to follow him again that he boldly turned around a few times and arrived at Liu Mian's mansion.

"It's unfortunate that Fang Gongzi is here, my master is not here at the moment." The doorman responded to the sudden arrival.

Fang Yingwu sat down in the gatehouse unceremoniously, "I know that Duke Liu entered the court today, and he has not returned to the house at this moment. But I had to see it, so I waited here until his old man came home! Without further ado, borrow a few sips of tea first! ”

The doorman shook his head, he could see that this Aunt Fang was obviously a little angry. But he had no choice but to let Aunt Fang be here to make a difference.

Fang Yingwu was not angry, he only knew that if he couldn't see Liu Mian, it would be difficult to feel at ease.

In fact, it doesn't matter what the final ranking of the palace test is, Fang Yingwu also understands that there is not much practical benefit in getting the champion. But the point is that this kind of ups and downs and uncertainties make Fang Yingwu's sensitive and cautious liver feel extremely insecure, and he hates this feeling of being used as a pawn and completely involuntary.

I waited for two hours, and when I saw that Jin Wuxi was about to fall, I saw the honor guard of Liu Ji, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, flashing out of the alley. Scholar Liu's entourage seemed to be an unpredictable prophet, ran to the concierge to take a look, and the other party responded: "My master invited Fang Gongzi to go to the study to talk." ”

When he arrived at the study, Liu Mian first looked at Fang Yingwu's complexion. felt that Fang Yingwu was not in a good mood. I couldn't help but sigh secretly, young people are young people after all. Even if he is as rational as Fang Yingwu, he will inevitably be obsessed with the glory of the champion.

He took the initiative to speak: "You already know the ranking, right?" In my opinion. The second and eighth are better than the champion, take a step back and open the sky, eat a little grievance, and speak loudly in the future. For example, is there still anyone who criticizes you? Isn't it a little better than the original fame? ”

Fang Yingwu replied: "Lao Taishan is right, when the news came out, all the gentlemen outside the left gate of Chang'an sympathized with my son-in-law and it was a pity that there was a lot of public opinion. ”

Liu Ji said meaningfully: "Remember, that can only be regarded as a suitable word, you just listen to it." Don't take it too seriously. When you really wait for a call, don't say a hundred responses, it's great to have a few. ”

Fang Yingwu was very unhappy with Liu Mian's pretentious attitude, and said with a smile: "How can you know if you don't try it?" That Zhang Tianrui is obviously out of the top ten, and for some reason he has become the champion again, although I don't know what happened in the Golden Palace, but there is probably a very unreasonable situation? I would like to ask, shouldn't the Son of Heaven and the imperial court give an explanation to the scholars of the world? ”

Liu Mian's plan succeeded, and he was in a good mood at this time. joked: "Before you became an official, you were an ordinary scholar, where can you go to question?" Want to beat the drum again? ”

Fang Yingwu replied again: "Old Taishan must have forgotten, there is also the Golden Palace behind him." 300 new science and technology scholars are going to enter the palace to meet the Son of Heaven, how is this occasion? When I went up to the Golden Luan Palace, I asked how this champion came about. Won't you be pushed out of the noon gate and beheaded? ”

Liu Mian frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but sit up straight. This son-in-law is very bold, and sometimes even he can't figure out his thoughts. Did he really want to make a fuss when the Golden Palace was preaching? If that's the case, I won't be able to eat and walk away

In this way, Liu Ji dissuaded: "Don't do it, why should the virtuous son-in-law be like this, it's a bad old man's plan." Fang Yingwu hurriedly asked, "What is Old Taishan's plan?" ”

Liu Mian was stunned, the ultimate purpose of daring to respond to things was to ask this. "Today in the Wenhua Palace, Wan Meizhou read your test paper first, and then Liu You picked out Zhang Tianrui's test paper in a hurry. When it was the old man's turn, the old man agreed with Zhang Tianrui."

Fang Yingwu originally guessed that in order to maintain his prestige, Liu Yu used his personal relationship to go through the door of the Son of Heaven, and then forcibly appointed Zhang Tianrui to become the champion by virtue of the king's prestige. But he didn't expect that Liu Mian would actually change in the battle and support Liu Yu like a grass on the wall.

At first glance, I only felt that Lao Taishan was too shameless - you made a big noise to force Liu Jue to the point where you had to make mistakes, and you also added fuel to the fire, deliberately further conniving at Liu Jue to amplify his mistakes. But when I think about it carefully, I feel that the mystery is endless, and it is worth carefully figuring out the three flavors.

From this point of view, Liu Mian wanted to promote himself as the champion with great fanfare at the beginning, but it was just a false shot, and it was just a feint attack to explain it in the art of war. At the same time, Fang Yingwu felt more and more that the rumors that he wanted to win the champion might have been spread by Liu Mian himself, in order to lure a certain auxiliary into the court?

The result of zuihou is nothing more than two, the first is to keep his name alive, and even rise, laying a solid foundation for the future.

Originally, with his background, if he was in the forefront, he would definitely not be pure in the minds of others, and if he was not good, it would be full of controversy, and colored glasses were terrible.

But after Liu Mian's false shot, on the premise of maintaining a high ranking, he became the image of a victim of injustice, and he can still maintain a clean and innocent image.

From another point of view, under the premise that there are people in the DPRK and China, shouldn't he still get some compensation for being wronged? For example, take care of it when you are electing officials

The second is to force Liu Yu to mess up and do things that are obviously selfish and contrary to the rules. He openly relied on the trust of the Son of Heaven and forcibly trampled on the rules of the monarch and ministers, how could so many officials in the court be vegetarians? If you don't accept thirty or fifty copies, the impeachment will be light.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but sigh: "Seeing it in the eyes of the Daoist Officer, it must be that the second assistant elder is going to be anxious for a while. ”

Liu Mian sneered, "Why not for a while? I don't think it's going to be a good time for him to look up again. ”

There were words in these words, Fang Yingwu was stunned and said that he didn't understand, could it be that Lao Taishan still had any deep meaning?

Now Liu Ji did not hide the meaning of his son-in-law, he could see that his son-in-law was also a person with a strong desire to control. If you still hide it, you don't tell the inside story. It is inevitable that Fang Yingwu will deviate from morality.

So he said very clearly: "The old man has already received news from the palace, and Bixia will directly approve the official." With Fang Shi Li Zi Province appointed as the right Tongzheng and Deng Changen as Tai Changqing, you should think about it later. ”

Fang Yingwu was a little surprised. This is both unexpected and expected.

According to the normal procedure, civil officials have their own set of strict procedures from entry to appointment, and the Ministry of Officials is the yamen directly responsible for the selection of officials.

But after all, the Son of Heaven has nominal supreme power, and if he forcibly and directly rewards someone with an official title, he is called a herald. This is to be resisted and spurned by the civilian clique, or it is not a legitimate official position.

In another time and space history, the Chenghua Emperor was famous for his indiscriminate appointment of officials, although the civil official group desperately resisted. However, a large number of monks, monks, craftsmen, calligraphers and painters were granted official titles by a holy decree, and the most famous representative was the Fangshi Lizi Province.

Fang Yingwu was busy with the imperial examination a while ago, and forgot about this matter for a while, but this time after Liu Mian mentioned it, he remembered that it was almost time for the official to be popular. A few years at the end of Chenghua was a few years when the number of missionaries was extremely flooded, and it was not until after the death of the Son of Heaven in Chenghua that the civil officials completely counterattacked, and all the missionaries were almost wiped out.

There is no need to think about the great scourge of the official and the destructive effect on the civil service system. Now Fang Yingwu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, this time Liu Cifu was really going to be killed by his old Taishan pit

What is the status of the right general administration envoy, as introduced earlier, Li Shishi, the test master of Fang Yingwu Township, and Xiang Wentai, Xiang Chengxian's uncle, are fighting for this position.

As you can imagine. The Son of Heaven directly criticized Li Zi Province for such a pretending to be a ghost and a monk to enter the Jiuqing Yamen and become a right-hand politician, which will cause a great shock to the civil and official clique, and 100 percent will inevitably trigger a fierce court dispute.

In this context. How similar is the nature of Liu Cifu's support for Zhang Tianrui to become the champion by virtue of Jun's grace and the nature of the Son of Heaven's direct internal appropriation? They are all wanton destruction of the rules by the Son of Heaven, and they are all serious violations of the monarch's power on the rights of the ministers.

Then Liu Cifu's actions must be compared with others. As an argument and a handle to advise the king, if a dignified scholar is compared to a scholar, then how can he gain a foothold in the civil service?

Scandals have arisen again and again. Liu Kuo, the second assistant, is unstable even if he does not resign, while Liu Mian can be promoted to the de facto second assistant. A university scholar who is ten years younger than Shousuke is no different from Shousuke's successor.

Compared with this huge benefit, his champion is of course insignificant Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu was suddenly bored, he was still too far away from this game, and the waves he experienced were simply pediatric compared to the shady scenes of the imperial court.

He was excited to arch his hand: "The imperial examination has ended, and when selecting officials, we must rely on Lao Taishan to exert his strength." ”

Liu Mian immediately put on the elder shelf, and Dun Dun taught: "Whether the imperial examination ranking is good or dissatisfied, it has already passed. You have to change your mindset as soon as possible, and you must know that the scientific field is completely different from the officialdom. Throughout the ages, countless people have been proud of the scientific field and frustrated in the officialdom, but they can't turn this corner in their hearts.

In addition, if you soar in the future, the matter of your loss of the champion will be mentioned repeatedly, and others will think that you should be the champion, but you were framed by traitors, and you will be more upset, and you will benefit more. And in the future, if you are unknown to everyone, then no one will remember what happened to you today, and no one will think that you lost the champion because of grievances.

The old man said this, you can encourage yourself! (To be continued......)
