Back at the hostel, Fang Yingwu was still excited about the sudden opportunity. The entire Chenghua Dynasty, the political economy and culture are very lackluster, known as the Sanyuan Kui world, the almost perfect business is considered to be one of the more outstanding ones, although his achievements and some of the latter Shoufu do not seem to be as good, but there is only such a signboard in the world.

Fang Yingwu couldn't help but think of a sentence he had heard in his previous life, it was difficult for a person to earn one million with 10,000, but it was relatively simple to earn 10 million from 1 million. Now he feels that way. Since his father learned about Yuan and won the county case by himself, it seems that overnight, many passages have naturally appeared.

It wasn't until after dinner that Fang Yingwu gradually calmed down. Remembering the capriciousness of Zhu Zhifu in the examination room, after carefully recalling and pondering, Fang Yingwu suddenly felt that the words and deeds of the Mansion were by no means untargeted, and they were worth playing. It's just that I was more relaxed at that time, and I didn't take it seriously to heart.

First of all, he is the son of Xinke Xie Yuan, and he is the head of the county, no matter how high or low he is, he may be interpreted by someone who cares.

So Zhu Zhifu first reprimanded himself for a few words, and then raised a few words, he sang all the black and red faces first, and others had nothing to say, neither to criticize him for being biased, nor to satirize him for suppressing backwards.

Secondly, in the way of suppressing first and then rising, zuihou gave the second place in the government test, which can be regarded as creating an opportunity to sell favors, expressing the meaning of "writing so badly will take you as the second place".

Third, presumably Governor Zhu wanted to ask him to participate in the activities of the Fucheng to welcome the old Shangge to return to his hometown, but he was worried that he was young and frivolous, and it was difficult to call. So a slap to a sweet date, a knock and a knock on him and leave him with nothing to say, and finally be able to be honest.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu had to praise it, this Zhu Governor's mind is really thoughtful! With just a few simple words, he blocked all the places where problems might occur, took all aspects into account, and eliminated all the possibilities of getting out of the basket.

As for asking himself to go with him to meet the prime minister, the reason is simpler. There must always be representatives of local celebrities, and his father, a fellow villager Xinjieyuan, was a suitable candidate, but when his father went to the capital, he let himself, who could barely be on the stage, work for the head of the county case.

However, Zhu Zhifu's mind is complicated, but he has no ill will towards himself, and there is no harm to him, so Fang Yingwu can only accept it all.

The next day, when Fang Yingwu was in a daze in the hostel with nothing to do, several candidates from the same county suddenly came to him and asked him to go to the south gate for tea together.

"I heard that since Zhu Fuzun Chenghua took office for five years, he has strongly advocated the construction of a long causeway outside the south gate to block the river. In the past few years, bustling streets have been formed along the river, and more than a dozen tea shops have been concentrated. Today we will go and see and see. ”

Fang Yingwu was also bored, so he went with his fellow villagers, and then spent a few days in Fucheng to pass the time. On the day of the release of the list, Fang Yingwu went to look at the list outside the government office with a few familiar candidates from the same county.

If you can pass the government test, you can officially become a child, and when you return to the township, you will be regarded as a prepared talent, and after you die, you can write a "to be given to Shilang".

The government examination list is very particular, and the county test is different from the county test where there are as many talents as there are, and the total amount of control must be carried out, and the school children will be strictly screened to enter the next level of the examination; It is also necessary to take care of geographical distribution, maintain a relatively fair number of candidates in each county, and not appear that all the candidates on the list are from one or two counties.

Those who are familiar with the imperial examination know that in the junior examination, the township examination is the most difficult to win; Among the primary three level exams, the government exam is the most difficult to win.

I have to say that Fang Xuetong, who knew the results of his rankings for a long time, was bored in his heart, and watching the list was just a kind of formality. There is no nervousness, apprehension, and anticipation of other candidates

"Brother Fang Xian is the second place, it seems that it is impossible to take the first three yuan of the county test, the government test, and the road test, haha." Someone pointed to the government examination list and said with a smile.

Fang Yingwu shook his head, it would be good to be able to pass the test, he had never thought about it. With his mediocre article level, it is an insult to the world's readers to be able to win Sanyuan, but there is still a little regret.

Who is the first person in the government examination? Fang Yingwu thought of this question, raised his eyelids and looked in front of his name, and the two big characters "Wu Sui" came into his eyes.

It's him! Fang Yingwu was very surprised, he didn't expect that Zhu Zhifu ordered Wu Gongzi to be the head of the government trial case, could it be that the Wu family was operating in the mansion?

If they have the ability to do this, why should they risk being accused of cheating and compete with themselves in the county for the head of the case?

At this time, among the people watching the list, I don't know who yelled, "The top two are actually from Chun'an County, which shows that this government test is unfair!" ”

Immediately, a group of people who fell off the list had a seizure and shouted together: "Injustice! Unjust! ”

Someone else shouted: "I should go to the yamen to appeal, please respect the new marking!" ”

Many people in the crowd responded, "Good! Let's go! ”

Fang Yingwu saw that the person who fell behind was going to take advantage of the topic to make trouble, and he was a little worried. Although his ranking is not as dazzling as Wu Xuan, it is also very eye-catching, and if he remains on the list, he may become the target of public criticism.

So he squeezed out of the crowd and quickly slipped away, lest he become a target for the frustrated. However, Fang Yingwu still didn't understand, with the meticulous mind of the Zhu Governor's Mansion, how could he do such a thing to give people a handle?

Even if there are no ghosts in it, it is very fair and selfless, but in order to avoid suspicion, it can't be that the first two are from the same county.

It's going to make a fuss, but it's not a good thing! Zuihou won't affect himself, right? Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu began to be glad that he was not the head of the government, otherwise it would really be the finger of Qianfu.

On the next day, according to the usual practice, the children who passed the government examination went to the government to meet the chief examiner, Zhu Zhifu. Wu Sui and Fang Yingwu, the top two, were at the top, but their rankings were reversed compared with the county exam.

The two waited for the summons at the foot of the steps outside the lobby, and Wu Xuan's expressions became smug again. Although the county test was lost to Fang Yingwu, the government test was pulled back, and the government test was higher than the county test, which was really a bad breath.

Fang Yingwu sneered: "At the head of the case in Xiazhong County, none of the elders of the county said no; But you are the head of a government, but there are more than 100 schoolchildren outside who are shouting injustice, and no one is convinced of you at all, what do you have to be proud of? ”

A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory! Wu Gongzi felt the evil breath in his chest and suffocated it back, only to hold back his internal injuries. Thinking that he might study with Fang Yingwu in the county school in the future, he suddenly felt that Zhongxiucai was not necessarily a good thing

But Wu Gongzi was never convinced: "That's just a group of losers who don't learn enough and can't afford to lose, unlike those of us who are destined to succeed!" Do you want to emulate those people in the future? ”

Fang Yingwu had nothing to say again, and shook his thumb, your old man is confident enough!

After seeing Zhu Zhifu, the new boy of Yanzhou Mansion in this section, he should leave after going through the motions. But Fang Yingwu walked a few steps slowly, and deliberately left to Zhu Zhifu and said: "Xiaosheng still has something to say, now that the first schoolchildren have discussed the list of government examinations, and some people are clamoring in front of the government, has the old man ever known?" ”

Governor Zhu didn't care, "What's the fuss about, after the results of which exam come out, aren't there all those who fall behind and shout injustice?" After all, there are only a limited number of places, and it is impossible to select everyone at any time. ”

He can not take it seriously, but Fang Yingwu doesn't want any bad rumors to appear on his list, so he persuaded: "The boss still has a little doubt, and he can't ignore it, and let people talk about it." ”

Governor Zhu snorted coldly and said, "This official has a clear conscience about this, why do you have to do it too much." In addition, in terms of the number of winners, Chun'an County is not much more than several other counties, and the claim of losing fairness is pure nonsense, but it only occupies one or two places. ”

"The painstaking work of the old man, where can some ignorant people understand. It is necessary to rectify and refute rumors, and not to allow rumors to spread. Fang Yingwu continued to persuade forcefully.

"It doesn't have to be. You still have to prepare carefully, and you will lose your dignity when you greet the business minister the day after tomorrow! Governor Zhu refused coldly, waved his hand and sent Fang Yingwu away.

Out of the yamen, Fang Yingwu sighed, I don't know what kind of ecstasy this mansion has eaten, so he insists on going his own way. Is it good for him to let the rumors go?

Not far from the yamen, there were more than a dozen schoolchildren discussing, "Weishenme unconventionally chose Chun'an County as the top two this time." Come to think of it, it must be that Shang Xianggong is about to arrive, and Fuzun intends to curry favor! ”

I see! Fang Yingwu suddenly realized when he heard this, Shang Xianggong had just been in office for a few months, there was still residual warmth, and he could still have a fever, and Zhu Zhifu must also have the intention of befriending Shang Xianggong.

But directly patting Matthew and others is not good to hear, and it is easy to be disgusted, as if Shang Xianggong is not the kind of person who is keen to be welcomed.

So these rumors about the government test may be exactly what Governor Zhu is looking forward to! It doesn't matter what things turn out of, rumors are rumors anyway, and they can't be controlled. But through these things, Shang Xianggong can feel his heart, and the goal is achieved.

As a Chun'an person, Shang Xianggong must admit his account, and no matter how fair he is, he will never say that "the top two people in the government examination are Chun'an people, and the practice is wrong". Who doesn't say their hometown is good? As for the other cases, it is not at all the prefect's concern.

Therefore, in fact, the ranking of the government examination is insignificant to the bigwigs, but through these things, the distance between him and the old Shangge can be narrowed psychologically, which is the biggest gain of Zhu Zhifu. Maybe you can still have a sense of closeness with the old Shang Pavilion.

Fang Yingwu heard that Governor Zhu was appointed in Chenghua for five years, and according to the nine-year term of office, he should be transferred elsewhere next year, and he will definitely not stay in Yanzhou Mansion. In this critical period involving promotion and disgrace, it is only right to be able to grasp the main joints, so what do you care about?

Rumors are just a gust of wind, and they will eventually dissipate. Besides, after Shang Xianggong arrived, with his huge fame, it was easy to suppress this rumor in public opinion.

After finally thinking about it, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but feel emotional. For the affairs of officialdom, I still think less! A lot of experience and truth, it is difficult to understand without personal experience, and the knowledge is unfathomable.

Governor Zhu's trick is not out of the ordinary, it's wonderful! Others are raising self-respect, and he is raising rumors to express his intentions. But you can't just be a spectator!
