Fang Yingwu looked at the various circles in the lobby and satisfied his unquenchable curiosity, then stopped looking around and stood behind his father in a low-key manner.

He, a stranger, is easy to attract the attention of others, and if he looks around endlessly, it will be difficult not to attract the attention of others.

The current Fang Yingwu, of course, doesn't want to attract attention, especially Li Dongyang's attention. Fang Yingwu is still relatively relieved of Liu Mian's wisdom, he should not treat himself especially on such occasions, there is really no need to be high-profile.

However, although Fang Yingwu was quiet on the surface, he kept pondering the doorways in several circles in his heart. This is very rare first-hand information for outsiders, and if it is not the right time, who will have the opportunity to observe it with their own eyes?

The first circle is the circle of the establishment faction, but these pavilion elders do not have much prestige, otherwise the audience will only form a large circle around the three pavilion elders, instead of splitting into several different circles like this.

The relationship between the second circle, formed with the unknown Qian Zhai Gong, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian as the core, and the first circle seems to be delicate. They are the successors, and they must not only be prepared to replace the people in power in the first circle, but they must also rely on the recommendation of those in power to make it easier to enter the cabinet.

The third circle, headed by Li Dongyang and Wu Kuan, is more like a literary circle in the Hanlin Academy, focusing on literary fame and slightly detached, as if it is far away from the core power, but it is not without opportunities.

Regarding the fourth circle where Fang Yingwu followed his father, it was lackluster, and it was far from the power difference, so when would he be able to blend into the first few circles. If you can't get in, you'll always be an old-timer.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu has a deeper understanding of the phrase "non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet". He thought it was just an exclusive flaunt and slogan. But now he feels that this is definitely more than just a slogan. It's a kind of law.

If you don't enter Hanlin, you won't even be able to see today's meeting, and you won't be able to experience the subtleties between circles, let alone other political experiences, such as directly dealing with the Son of Heaven, the crown prince, and the great eunuchs in the palace.

People who do not have this kind of personal experience, if they want to mix with the top political life, they must be congenitally inferior to the ministers of Hanlin. From this point of view, the exclusion of non-Hanlin from the cabinet is not only a condition, but also an inevitable consequence of the operation of the political mechanism.

After some understanding. Fang Yingwu took a deep breath and felt that his realm had risen to another level, and a lot of political wisdom had been accumulated little by little in this way.

Today is a worthwhile trip, Fang Yingwu sighed secretly. In addition, he found that his thoughts before he came were too ridiculous - at that time, he was worried that he would be the center of attention, and provoke Liu Mian and Li Dongyang at the same time to make it difficult for him. And now it looks like I'm just self-inflicted!

Here, apart from the circle where my father was, who would care about a boy who came out of nowhere among the reserved ministers in those tall circles? It's simply ignored. Even Liu Mian, who he is most familiar with. I probably won't lose my dignity.

At this time, a middle-aged literati with an elegant temperament came in from outside the door, and because Fang Yingwu deliberately turned his back to the middle of the lobby, he was facing the door. So I saw the appearance of this person clearly.

Fang Yingwu immediately recognized that this person was none other than Shang Liangchen, the second son of Shang Chen. Chenghua was a jinshi in the second year, and he was immediately elected to Hanlin by the museum. When Chenghua was fourteen years old. When Fang Yingwu was running in the capital to save his father, he met Shang Liangchen once. They know each other.

According to the rules of etiquette, Fang Yingwu must come forward to greet him, and he cannot ignore Shang Liangchen without standing still.

Because Shang Zhen is Fang Yingwu's karma teacher, and Fang Yingwu is Shang Yingwu's disciple, when writing things like lines, he can write a few precious characters such as the teacher Shang Chen, just like writing his father Fang Qingzhi.

There is this special relationship, so Fang Yingwu saw the teacher's son and took the initiative to greet the teacher to show his respect for the teacher. What's more, Shang Liangchen is much older than Fang Yingwu, and he is the old-timer of the Fang family's father and son, and the number of etiquette is even more indispensable. If Fang Yingwu turns a blind eye, it is very rude behavior, and the image will lose points after it is spread.

While paying attention to Shang Liangchen, Fang Yingwu quickly studied in his heart what position to use to visit, so as to receive the purpose of completing the ceremony without attracting the attention of others.

Then he saw Shang Liangchen standing at the door, looked left and right briefly, and walked towards the third circle where Li Dongyang, Wu Kuan, and Wang Wei were. And he finally happened to stand beside Li Dongyang and politely greeted Li Dongyang.

Witnessing Shang Liangchen's trajectory, Fang Yingwu's head "buzzed", this is really afraid of something, why did he stand by Li Dongyang's side? Do these two guys have a good relationship? If he stepped forward to greet Shang Liangchen, it would be impossible not to attract Li Dongyang's attention

Fang Yingwu gritted his teeth, left his father's side, walked slowly and low-key along the wall to the back of Shang Liangchen, and called softly, "Senior Shang!" ”

Shang Liangchen turned his head and looked at Fang Yingwu behind him with surprise, "It turned out to be Little Brother Fang, I didn't want to be here today, did you come with Ling Zun?" ”

Fang Yingwu respectfully hugged his fists as a salute, bowed slightly and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, but the demeanor of the senior businessmen is still the same." ”

Shang Liangchen accepted Fang Yingwu's salute with a smile, turned his head to Li Dongyang beside him and said, "Binzhi, what do you think of this son?" I'm not wrong. ”

Li Dongyang also turned around and faced Fang Yingwu face to face, his thin face was also full of smiles, "Why do you need to say it?" It's not the first time I've met him, I met him once two years ago. ”

Two years ago, in order to brush up his father's reputation, he was in front of several Hanlin officials in Keting of the Hanlin Academy, and he reprimanded Hanlin for not having the courage to be far inferior to his father, could it be that Li Dongyang was among those people at that time? Could it be that Li Dongyang took a fancy to himself because he appreciated his performance at that time?

Now that the relationship with Li Dongyang is too sensitive, Fang Yingwu feels that it is difficult for him to grasp the proportions of his speech, so he can only say concisely: "The two seniors praised it falsely, and the kid can't afford it." ”

Li Dongyang stroked his beard and smiled: "How can you not be praised?" As you know, I have a lot of correspondence with Shang Xianggong, and Shang Xianggong also greatly appreciates your talents. ”

It turns out that there is still this reason, Li Dongyang has a good relationship with Shang?

Fang Yingwu was a little moved, Shang Xianggong's actions were obviously for his own future, but he didn't say to himself that doing good deeds would not leave a name.

But Fang Yingwu sighed again, things are getting more and more complicated, could it be that Shang Liangchen also wants to pull the strings in it? How can there be so many people who don't understand the situation and are so kind to add to the chaos?

It's also a headache to have too many choices, but fortunately, so far, Li Dongyang doesn't seem to want to break the window paper in public, so it's okay to be vague about it. (To be continued......)

PS: I'm a little uncertain below, so let's write it here first. Plus, my vows aren't a joke! In the past few days, let's try to see if I can stabilize the double change, and ask for a monthly pass.
