However, he said that Ambassador Sun Linsun was eager to seek talents, or Corporal Lixian, and he was full of tricks to promote Fang Yingwu, who had excellent professional ability, to be the deputy ambassador. It's all on this, if Fang Yingwu doesn't show his hole cards again, I'm afraid that one day he will become a clerk in a daze.

Scholars and small officials, although they are both literate and hyphenated people, but the political status is very different, once they become small officials, then the service time for the people is at least nine years, how many nine years can there be in life?

Bright hole cards also need to have the skill of showing hole cards, which is too big and easy to scare people. Fang Yingwu, who has several identities such as someone's disciple, someone's grandson, someone's son, and a county student, thought about it for a while, and said to Ambassador Sun: "It's not a secret, I am a student of Chun'an County, Zhejiang Province, and he has a meritorious reputation!" ”

Sun Lin was taken aback when he heard this, and subconsciously thought that Fang Yingwu was talking nonsense, but he heard Fang Yingwu say: "If you don't believe it, you can go and get the study tour diploma issued by the county school, and the adults will know it at a glance." ”

When Ambassador Sun confirmed this, he was stunned and speechless. Fang Yingwu really wants to have a reputation for showing talent, that is, the current Yulin City or the first degree within a radius of 200 miles!

It's the first, it's not any moisture at all. With a radius of 200 miles and including Yulin City, which has only been built for five years, there is not even a school, so what is the fame of 100,000 soldiers and civilians?

Among the high-ranking officials, whether it is the chief soldier, the commander, or the officer at all levels, they are all military ministers, and they will not have meritorious fame; In the foreign household, the current governor has not yet arrived, the governor is not in the city, and the eunuch of the town guard has nothing to do with fame.

As for the clerks and scribes in the yamen, they are only literate and hyphenated, and they can write a few smooth official documents at most.

That's why Fang Yingwu is a talent. In particular, Zhejiang Xiucai, who has a high gold content, is indeed a well-deserved first degree in the current Yulin City.

Not to mention the border town of Yulin. Even if it is placed in the neighboring Mizhi County, Fang Yingwu's academic qualifications can only be ranked in the top three. It is said that this Mizhi County has not produced a jinshi since the founding of the country. There have only been three or two people who have been raised, and only those who come from outside the county have been raised -- this is a common phenomenon in border counties.

Ambassador Sun's expression gradually showed a little strangeness, no wonder this party should not be willing to be the deputy ambassador, if he is a scholar, then he is indeed qualified to look down on this kind of miscellaneous position.

This person is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is a talent, which is really enviable, Ambassador Sun then asked very strangely: "Since you have the reputation of being a student, how can you be reduced to the point of being assigned to serve in a border town?" ”

Ambassador Sun has been in the frontier for 20 years, and has seen ordinary people who commit crimes and are sent to serve in the border army. I have seen officials relegated to the frontier. But I have never seen a scholar like Xiucai being thrown directly to the border to serve.

Since the scholar ranks first among the four people, of course, he has privileges, and the fame itself is a kind of talisman. In Ambassador Sun's impression, it may not be unique for Fang Yingwu to be sent to the border town to serve in such a show, but it is also rare, so it cannot but be strange.

Fang Yingwu said secretly: "It's hard to say, Master Sun still don't ask." ”

Seeing that Fang Ying was mysterious, Ambassador Sun couldn't help but snort coldly: "What can't be said, I remember that you were transferred from the guard." When I go to the yamen of the guard office to ask an acquaintance to check the official documents, I will know what you have done. ”

"I was sent to Yansui Town to serve by the emperor's edict, so," Fang Yingwu replied helplessly.

Emperor? Chin prisoners? Sun Lin jumped up from the Taishi's chair, his eyes wide. When he first received it. was too careless, I didn't read the official document carefully, who knew that I was not paying attention to bury a big thunder beside me! If it weren't for today's curiosity. Can't ask any of that!

Ambassador Sun stood stunned for a long time, and Fang Yingwu had no choice but to stand with him. I don't know how long it took. Ambassador Sun recovered from the shock, and he immediately thought about it again. How can ordinary people have the qualifications to anger the Son of Heaven?

The Son of Heaven has every opportunity, why did he deliberately issue an edict to find trouble with a talent? Won't it be a tiger skin boast?

Even if it is death, you have to be a clear ghost, Ambassador Sun couldn't help but ask curiously again: "What did you do to actually work on the emperor's holy thoughts and deliberately send you to the border town?" ”

Fang Yingwu was embarrassed: "It's hard to say, Ambassador Sun should not ask"

"Then let the official check the official documents?" Ambassador Sun threatened.

"In fact, he was punished on behalf of his father."

Ambassador Sun felt that he was about to touch the core of the question, "Who is Ling Zun?" ”

Fang Yingwu replied: "My father is secretive. Seeing that Ambassador Sun did not react, he added: "He is now a member of the Hanlin Academy." ”

Ambassador Sun patted his head and said in shock: "Di Bao has seen the celebrity who was imprisoned a few months ago!" It seems that he is the only minister who has been imprisoned in recent years! ”

As he spoke, he jumped up again. For a little miscellaneous fish at the bottom of the officialdom like Ambassador Sun, those people are all people in the sky, those things are heavenly things, and the fight is also a fight between the gods, and he suddenly has a relationship with his little ghost, can you not be surprised?

He suddenly understood, no wonder Fang Yingwu was different everywhere in the warehouse, and it didn't look like a person like them, it turned out that it was indeed not the same kind of person! This is a well-known and elite scholar, which is different from ordinary people like himself!

Ambassador Sun figured out the details of Fang Xiucai, and became more and more painful and entangled, not knowing how to treat Fang Yingwu.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly, this is really asking for trouble, he only thought that the official document was a formality, and he directly took in Fang Yingwu without reading it, and he knew that he should have read it carefully.

For a while, no one spoke in the room, and there was silence for a moment.

After Fang Yingwu showed his hole cards, his waist board stood up unconsciously, and he took the initiative to ask: "Lord Sun, there is something unclear below, why did you hurriedly report and recommend you to be the deputy ambassador?" I always feel that there is something wrong with it. ”

Ambassador Sun smiled bitterly, "The day before yesterday, Eunuch Zhang, the lieutenant of the town guard, sent someone over, carefully inquired about your affairs, and asked for your poems, which are a few sentences of the hard work of guarding the Great Wall.

At that time, I thought that it was your poems that had spread out and attracted attention and appreciation from the outside world, so you might be sent to other yamen. And I want to keep you, so I am very anxious to report you and recommend you to fill the position of deputy ambassador. Now it seems that I don't know the truth and am self-inflicted."

The town guard eunuch inquired about his situation? Two drops of cold sweat broke out in Fang Yingwu's head, frowning and pondering. He could feel that it was definitely not attention, but a kind of surveillance.

The eunuch who guards the town is responsible for monitoring the place for the Son of Heaven, and a "prisoner" with political overtones like himself must be the object of attention. There are already certain rules for the operation of the factory guard spy system, and at the same time as Jinyiwei escorted himself out of the Beijing Division, it is estimated that Dongchang will also spread his news to the local town guard eunuchs.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, since I arrived in Yulin, I have been very sensible and low-key with my tail between my legs, and there is nothing out of the ordinary in my words and deeds, poetry and writing.

Now, even if someone secretly recites "Fang Yingwu composed a poem and says: My generation of literati is really sour", I am afraid that no one in the court will believe that Fang Dacai will write such a thing, or regard this crooked poem as a serious text.

In the case of no one to cover it, if it is too high-profile or too out-of-line, it will definitely suffer a dark loss. When you refer to your book "Have Grievances", no one will even argue for you.

It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous, I didn't realize the role of the eunuch before, so I wiped my sweat. It's hard to live without a backer, and you still have to hurry up and find your thighs to hug, otherwise you'll have to live a hard life carefully.

And the heresies of the commander, the chief military officer, and the town guard eunuch are all unreliable, and the only hope is the new governor who is also in the Shilin lineage.

Before the governor arrived, there was another urgent matter that asked again: "Lord Sun, can the recommendation you sent to the political branch be recovered?" ”

Sun Lin is excited, how can a character of Fang Yingwu's identity decide his future whereabouts? Don't really make him a clerk by mistake, his father and the like can't be offended.

He hurriedly ran out of the house, and said as he walked: "You wait here, I'll go to the political branch to get the recommended Shenwen back!" ”

A quarter of an hour later, Ambassador Sun returned, but empty-handed. "The administrative branch has already submitted the official document recommending you to the governor."

"What then?" Fang should change color of things.

Ambassador Sun cried and mourned, "Because the governor has not yet arrived, all the official documents in the governor's line are sealed, and no unauthorized action is allowed, so we can only wait for the new governor to take office." ”

Fang Yingwu was no longer in the mood to get angry with Ambassador Sun, who was doing bad things for himself, and thought about it in circles in the room.

It is necessary to wait for the new governor to deal with the official documents and let the governor understand this matter, otherwise the new governor will be troublesome if he has just arrived and does not know what to do, and it will be troublesome to approve and report to the Ministry of Officials for the record.

Fang Yingwu suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you know when the governor will arrive?" ”

Ambassador Sun replied truthfully: "I heard that the new governor is the former political envoy of Henan, and because of the special border situation, he has to come directly from Henan to take office, and he has probably entered the territory of Yan'an Prefecture. ”

Fang Yingwu undoubtedly instructed: "You appointed me an errand to let me go to Mizhi County in the south, where I will wait for the governor in advance!" ”

The Buzheng Sub-Division is a sub-division of the Shaanxi Buzheng Division stationed in Yansui Town, and its subordinate warehouses have a lot of dealings with the counties of the hinterland prefecture, especially the counties of Yan'an Prefecture, and almost all the output has to be supplied to military supplies. So it's not surprising that Fang Yingwu came up with this method.

Since knowing the origin of the other party, Ambassador Sun's momentum has gradually declined, and he no longer has the slightest demeanor of a chief. He was like a subordinate, and he only promised: "The autumn harvest is coming, so I will send you to Mizhi County to urge and count the money and grain in advance." ”

Then it was too late, Fang Yingwu breathed a sigh of relief. The service prisoner patted his boss on the shoulder, "Actually, you are not a bad person, although your position is humble, but you are not jealous of the virtuous and competent, and you know how to select talents." Good work, I'm optimistic about you! (To be continued.) )

PS: I had something to do last night, so I'll make up for the update this morning.
