Fang Yingwu did not break his promise, and at dusk he changed into civilian clothes and took Xiang Chengxian out of the county office, claiming that he was going to see Li Yu and Li Zhongcheng, the right deputy capital.

Xiang Chengxian was a little excited, and asked as he walked, "Where are you going to meet?" Fang Yingwu replied: "This province slaughters the senior's family." ”

Xiang Dagongzi understood that the senior Tu mentioned in Fang Yingwu's mouth was naturally the right-hand man of Zhejiang, Yushi Tu Tu. Tu Tu is both a Zhejiang person and an official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it is very suitable to be an intermediary between Fang Yingwu and Li Zhongcheng.

Of course, Lord Tu is not unmotivated, if Li Zhongcheng can enter the imperial history, then he Tu Tu can also logically move from the fourth rank to the third deputy capital of the imperial history. In the imperial court, once you achieve the three grades, you will officially enter the ranks of high-ranking officials.

Fang Yingwu is happy to see it, a fellow villager who is quite familiar, and there is no conflict with his father, naturally the higher the rise, the better, and they can help each other at critical times! Moreover, Fang Yingwu knew that Tu Tu was a promising person, and he was also a Shangshu-level figure in history, so there was no harm in having a good relationship.

Master Tu is not a rich man, and he has always been a Fengxian Taoist official, and his self-restraint is relatively strict, so the area of the mansion is not large, only comparable to the east courtyard of the Fang family.

Therefore, Master Tu could only entertain guests in the front hall, and Fang Yingwu smiled when he saw Tu Yun: "Senior Tu is really entertaining guests at home this time?" I thought that I was going to repair the plank road in the dark and Chen Cang, and introduce the younger generation into the depths of the flowers! ”

Tu Yun's old face turned red. In the last month, the nominal Zuodu Yushi Wang wanted to see Fang Yingwu, but he borrowed his name and called Fang Yingwu to the alley of the Jiaofang Branch. When he saw Fang Qing, he explained well.

After chatting a few more words, someone from the Tu family came to report: "There is a Master Li who has come to visit. ”

This is the right deputy capital Yushi Li Yu Li Zhongcheng is here. Fang Yingwu and Xiang Chengxian went out with Tu Yun to greet him.

The guests and hosts sat down again, and began to greet each other again. talked about poetry, especially commented on Fang Yingwu's works. This process made Xiang Dagongzi feel extremely bored, and he almost couldn't sit still.

Li Zhongcheng looked at Xiang Chengxian very much, and felt strange, today is a very private conversation, why did Fang Yingwu bring a stranger over? He asked, "Who is this?" ”

Fang Yingwu took the opportunity to introduce: "This is a fellow villager of the lower official, and he is also a scholar of the current science and technology, and now he is in the Taifu Temple to observe the government, and he has not yet officially elected an official." The lower officials dared to recommend him to Lao Zhongcheng. I wonder if you are lucky enough to be selected as the imperial history? ”

Li Yu pondered for a moment and replied: "The election of officials is selected by the officials, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not a government yamen. Lord Fang, you should go to the ministry, and say this to the old man, I'm afraid that you are worshipping the wrong temple gate. ”

Fang Yingwu continued: "That's what I said, but if the Metropolitan Procuratorate wants to name someone, the officials should always sell a little face, anyway, there are hundreds of imperial histories in the two capitals and thirteen roads, and they are not worse than these one or two." ”

Li Zhongcheng replied again: "Then it is necessary for the official of this court to come forward to speak." The old man is just the deputy capital of the imperial history, how can he speak to the officials to ask for favors? ”

Fang Yingwu smiled, "Ming people don't say secret words, and the lower officials listen to the meaning of Lao Zhongcheng's words." As long as Lao Zhongcheng can become the imperial historian of the capital, he is willing to help with this? Really? ”

Li Yu responded: "The imperial history of the dynasty has always been selected from among officials who are both young and experienced, and there are very few precedents for the new science and technology scholars to be directly selected as the imperial history. What to say in what position. If you want to break this example, it is true that only the capital Yushi can speak. ”

Fang Yingwu nodded and said, "Xiaguan knows." ”

That's pretty much it. Tu Tu set up a banquet at home and entertained everyone with coarse tea and light rice. Luckily, the wine was good. In fact, if the conversation can be discussed, eating and drinking is not so important, so everyone will have their own fun.

When saying goodbye, the host's Tu Tu said to the other party very sincerely: "If I can go to the next level this time, it is because of you, today is really slow, and another banquet will be held another day." ”

The next day, Fang Yingwu called Wang Ying over and instructed: "You take my name card to the Metropolitan Inspection Courtyard and make an appointment to meet Master Shi Dai in the right capital." "Wang Ying was originally responsible for keeping the county seal and stamping it, but Fang Yingwu didn't have enough hands to let him run errands.

Fang Yingwu made an appointment to meet Dai Jin, naturally he wanted to talk to Dai Dazhongcheng again, the theme was to persuade Dai Dazhongcheng to take the initiative to leave, so that he could be regarded as retreating and vacating his position, which can be described as hello, hello, hello, everyone.

However, it is said that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is located in Xicheng, which is in Wanping County, and it is quite convenient to come and go. After more than an hour, seeing that the sun was approaching noon, Wang Ying came back and replied to Fang Zhixian: "I went to the Metropolitan Inspection Courtyard, but Master Dai didn't see me, and nothing came back!" ”

Fang Yingwu was full of suspicions when he heard this, he didn't expect Wang Ying to be closed, and he didn't even bring back a word. What does this mean? This shows that Dai Jin is avoiding him!

So why did Dai Jinwei avoid him? After thinking about it, Fang Yingwu only had one guess, Dai Dazhongcheng probably had other intentions and couldn't go

Before, he didn't want to make enemies in many ways, and he didn't want to be distracted by others The main target, so he concentrated on Shang Ming's side, and let Dai Jin go, and even gave Dai Jin a chance anyway.

Could it be that Dai Dazhongcheng now thinks that the fall of Shang Ming means that the matter is over, and he is lucky to have nothing to do to survive, so he wants to try to see if he can stay in the position of the imperial history of the capital? I have to say that judging from Dai Jin's speculative character, Fang Yingwu feels that this is very possible

Dai Jin did this, but it broke the previous tacit understanding, as long as this person could get out of the whole body, it was simply a thousand willingness, and the official position was optional, and now he wants to be insatiable to keep his official position if he eases up a little?

Fang Yingwu couldn't help but feel bored for a while! But he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he just wanted to persuade Dai Jin to take the initiative to resign, and then according to the normal promotion procedures of officialdom, Li Yu and Tu Tu could be replaced by each other.

Otherwise, just like before the fight with Shang Ming, when the city was full of turmoil, others took the opportunity to intervene, and the situation would be out of control.

After hastily having lunch, Fang Yingwu beckoned Fang Yingshi out of the county office, he wanted to visit the Metropolitan Procuratorate in person to see if Dai Jin saw it or not!

Fang Yingwu arrived in person, and Dai Jin didn't want to close the door again, so he invited Fang Zhixian into the inner room next to the Imperial History Hall.

Fang Yingwu was unceremonious, and asked reprimandedly: "Dazhongcheng, you are too greedy, you have already kept your net worth, and you still want to keep your official position?" ”

This is not like what a six-rank Zhixian said to the imperial history of the second-rank master, and it is really shocking to spread it. But in Fang Yingwu's eyes, Dai Jin is Wang Zhi's former party henchman's younger brother, and he is Wang Zhi's lover and strategist, and he is currently replacing Wang Zhi's talker in Beijing, so of course he can look down on Dai Jin from this perspective.

Dai Jin squeezed out a little embarrassed look on his face, and replied slowly: "It's not that I don't want to resign, it's that someone won't let me resign." ”

Fang Yingwu frowned and said, "Who is it?" Dai Jin sighed deliberately and said: "Wan Shoufu has sent a message, telling this official not to resign." (To be continued......)
