But he said that when he heard Wang Shu write a letter recommending his father, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but be moved, this person was not an ordinary minister, and he was very well-known.

Although Fang Yingwu does not know as much about the political ecology of the current Chenghua and Hongzhi periods as he did in the Jiajing and Wanli periods, he has also dabbled in it.

He knew that in the period from the end of Chenghua to the early years of Hongzhi, Wang Shu was a very eye-catching figure. He is loyal, straightforward, unscrupulous, fair and selfless, and has a very high reputation at home.

At present, there is a popular saying in officialdom, called "Two capitals and twelve departments, only one king forgiveness". It means that there is a miasma of smoke in this court now, and there are no decent ministers in the six divisions of the Southern Běijīng Division, and only one Wang Shu is upright and can be regarded as a good hand.

From this evaluation, we can know the person. The current emperor Zhu Jianshen is an otaku son who is afraid of being disturbed, and he is probably very annoyed by Wang Shu, an outspoken minister, so he sent the old man Wang to Nanjing, and has always let him be an official in Nanjing, refusing to let him go back to Beijing.

However, what Fang Yingwu couldn't figure out was that Wang Shu was definitely an iron-faced and selfless person, how could he do the thing of writing a note to open the back door and ensure his father's entry?

Hong Song looked envious, and said leisurely: "I've heard some things. Last year, the prince took the imperial envoy Su Song of Nanjing, and Ling Zun happened to be also studying in Suzhou, and met by chance at the literary meeting and debated the meaning of the scriptures.

At that time, the prince admired Ling Zun very much, and was worried that Ling Zun would miss the township test and the imperial court would miss talents, so he specially wrote a letter to the great master of the province and guaranteed it, and then Ling Zun was able to enter in the name of the record.

With the uprightness of the prince, if it weren't for the discernment and true talent, he would never do this kind of thing to help others! As a result, Ling Zun is famous.

It just so happens that Ling Zun understands the yuan, which can be described as a beautiful story of Shilin! This encounter, my generation deeply admires and envy! ”

After listening to the gossip news from Gongzi Hong, Fang Yingwu felt a faint pain in his head, is this a good thing?

It is true that a well-known and upright minister like Wang Shu would not write a note for his father, a poor student who has no money and no shili, but the more this is the case, the more headache it gets

As the saying goes, people gather by like, and things are divided by groups. It is precisely because Wang Shu admires his father that he can deduce what kind of spleen his father is now. Presumably, he is also strong in principle, upright, broad and hard, otherwise he would not have been favored by the king boss.

It's vulgar to think, this is bad luck!

Fang Yingwu knew that it would be about ten years from the resignation of the prime minister of business and business this year to the death of the emperor now. In the past ten years, the atmosphere in the court has been very degenerate, and there are all kinds of crooked and evil ways. If my father crashes into officialdom during this period of time, and he is not used to the atmosphere, he will inevitably have to suffer.

Today, although Zhu Jianshen is soft-hearted and doesn't like to cut off the minister's head, he has a mischievous mentality and likes to send the minister who is blunt to the border wasteland. That Wang Shu's reputation is too high, it is not easy to move him, and it is just a matter of throwing it in Nanjing, out of sight and out of mind, and others do not necessarily have this kind of good luck.

If his father really entered the officialdom, and was condemned for angering the Son of Heaven because of his outspokenness, I am afraid that he will accompany his father to travel to Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi for a few years.

Thinking of this prospect, Fang Yingwu's heart was filled with a faint sorrow and sighed. Life is really at any level of trouble. With the father's pit son's style, don't look at it this time, it seems that Xie Yuan helped him, but it is very likely that he will travel to the border provinces for a long time in the future.

The gentleman who just joked about hiding his weapon and waiting for the time to move, should he be here? Could it be that his future fate is to escort his father and clean up the mess?

Fang Yingwu sighed secretly, hoping that he had thought too much. began to silently pray that his father would not be able to become a jinshi for ten years, and only kept his reputation and honestly became a squire at home. If there is a chance, the officialdom will be handed over to the filial son who has seen five hundred years before and five hundred years after five hundred years to replace Chuang Lang.

Another guest, that is, Xiang Gongzi, suddenly said mysteriously at this time: "It's not just a Shilin story, there is another story. I heard that the young daughter of the prince's family fell in love with Ling Zun at first sight, and vowed to entrust her lifelong talent and beauty. ”

Hearing this, Fang Yingwu was dumbfounded, and subconsciously asked, "Really?" ”

Ahem! Hong Song coughed heavily, and said: "I've heard the rumors that the prince yù married his daughter to Ling Zun, but it is short and long, and it is really difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. ”

Fang Yingwu fell into deep confusion again, what kind of virtue and ability does his father have, can there be women everywhere?

More than ten years ago, his mother came from a famous family in Cixi, but she was able to marry her father; Studying in the county seat, the county's top Baimei girl wants to be a concubine for her father; ran out to study, and met a high-ranking official's Miss Wang.

This is the standard treatment of the protagonist, and compared with his father, he is far from enough. What is this thirty-year-old man? Judging from everyone's mouth, my father should be an old-fashioned man who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, how can he have such a great charm?

Thinking about it, not only in terms of peach blossom luck, he was tired and tired and almost lost the county, and his father went out to study and casually met the favor of a famous bigwig; I tried my best to almost let the county case fly for the first time, and my father's Xie Yuan was simply able to capture an all-round gap!

What the truth is, it can only be found out on the day I meet my father, but it is estimated that it will not be until next year, after the Jingshi Chūn Dabi, Fang Yingwu sighed. For the father who has never met since the crossing, there is a sense of expectation and curiosity.

In fact, if you can survive ten years, after changing the Son of Heaven, it is still very good for my father to marry the daughter of Wang Shu's family.

Historically, when the new monarch ascended the throne ten years later, the old man Wang Shu entered Beijing as a celestial official and became one of the three elders in the early years of the Hongzhi Dynasty. He presided over the personnel work in the early years of Hongzhi for six years, and his authority was so great that even the cabinet gave him three points.

After talking about the celebrity gossip of Fang Qingzhi, Xiang Gongzi suddenly arched his hand and said, "By the way, I almost forgot to congratulate Fang Friend on going to school." Now that the head of the case has been taken, the last two levels should not be a problem. ”

Hong Song shook his head and laughed at himself: "I'm not afraid of Friend Fang's jokes, the two of us have to go back to the county to learn to be a student in this township test, and we will study and write in the county with Friend Fang." Just took the same exam with Ling Zun, and with your county school classmates, it was really wonderful to meet at the time of life. ”

Fang Yingwu said humbly: "I have good luck this time, and I ask the two seniors for more advice." It's just that I've said it so far, and the younger generations don't know where the two seniors are from and where their families are, so I hope to tell them, and it's good to worship each other in the coming year. ”

Hong Song patted his forehead, "I can't wait, I haven't said anything about my own heels." Brother Xiang Xian and I are both from Jinxi, and Friend Fang must have heard of it. ”

Xiang Chengxian said proudly: "The local proverb clouds: the left and right two servants, the two officials on the river, are talking about our two ancestors. ”

It turned out that the Hong family had a jinshi named Hong Yu during the Yongle period of this dynasty, and the official went to the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the Xiang family who lived across the river from the Hong family had a Jinshi named Xiang Wenyao in the Xuande period, and the official went to the left of the Ministry of Officials. Therefore, the people of this county made up a common saying to boast - two waiters on the left and right, and two officials on the river.

Moreover, these two families are endless, and now there are people who are born as scholars and are officials outside.

The party should have been mentally prepared for this. If it is really the Jinxi Hong family and the Xiang family, no wonder this Hong Gongzi dares to mock his uncle who is not on the stage,

self-reported that the door of the house was fine, and it was officially settled. Hong Song remembered something, and asked again: "Just now I saw that senior Hu came to look for you, and his face was not good, but is there anything wrong?" ”

Fang Yingwu said lightly: "He claimed to be his uncle, and he came over to ask him to go down to meet the Hu family." ”

"Uncle? Lingtang is from the Hu family? Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian said in surprise.

"More than ten years have passed. I heard that it was from the Hu family, but I don't know how it is. The two seniors were in the county school, didn't they hear their father talk about it? ”

Hong Gongzi shook his head, "I only entered school three years ago, and Ling Zun was already a senior at that time, he was silent and never talked about family matters. After more than a year, Ling Zun went out to study again, and he didn't have the opportunity to see each other from time to time. But if it's the Hu family's matter, I can help you inquire about it. ”

Xiang Chengxian said quickly: "We don't deal with the Hu family, let's explain here first, so as not to embarrass Fang's friends." ”

"Why not?" Fang Yingwu asked curiously.

Hong Song stopped Xiang Chengxian and continued, "The county sergeant has a distinction between the East Society and the West Society, and Friend Fang, you will know it when you enter the school. ”

Fang Yingwu felt very interesting, is there really a place where there are people?

Seeing that Rì's head was westward, Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian said goodbye together, and Fang Yingwu sent the two of them to the entrance of the village. When he came back and remembered his parents, he turned around and went to the patriarch's second uncle, Fang Zhili's house.

"You're asking about your mother?" Fang Zhili frowned and recalled carefully, before he said: "Although more than ten years have passed, the old man still clearly remembers the appearance of your mother at that time, and at first glance she was from a scholarly family. It seems that he eloped to marry your father, but at that time, his mother's side seemed to be very dissatisfied.

Later, your mother fell seriously ill when she gave birth to you, and died a little more than a year later. Then your father didn't know why, his feelings changed greatly, and he was silent and didn't ask about foreign affairs, just studied hard, and didn't live in the county school until he was admitted to the middle school, and after that, I rarely saw him.

The old man knows so much, but he doesn't know the rest of the inside story. ”

The story of the lady of the scholarly family eloping to marry a poor boy in a mountain village For his father, Fang Yingwu could only say one word of service, and he was completely convinced.

As for the other inside information, there is no need for the old patriarch to say, Fang Yingwu can guess it. Just from today's uncle's attitude and the situation that the Hu family's Fang family has not interacted for more than ten years, you can guess a lot.

It seems that he contradicted his uncle a few times, and he didn't wronged him at all, his father must also be a backbone person, and he can't embarrass his father, Fang Yingwu thought.

He left the patriarch's house and walked in the village, when he suddenly saw a servant waving at him, panting and running over and saying, "Fang Xianggong, I'll send you a ticket for the government test!" ”

The so-called examination ticket is similar to the admission ticket. After the county examination, the county government will issue tickets for the school children who have passed the government examination, and the school children will go to the government city with the tickets to participate in the government examination. It's just that he can drive a ten-mile mountain road not far from the government and personally come over to deliver the exam ticket, which is also very rare.

Fang Yingwu accepted the exam ticket, and in his heart, he should also collect his heart and prepare for the exam. Although for the first student in the county, the government test is equivalent to going through the motions, but it is also necessary to seriously engage in the form and go through the motions in a down-to-earth manner.
