After finishing the matter, the father and son talked about gossip again, and Fang Yingwu inquired about the news: "The cabinet is vacant, can there ever be a result today?" ”

Fang Qingzhi said: "Wan Xianggong recommended Peng Hua, a bachelor of Hanlin, and Liu Xianggong recommended Yin Min, a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials. In between, Master Peng was recommended well, and Yin Tianguan's qualifications were even older, and they are still deadlocked, and it seems that it is difficult to achieve results. ”

Fang Yingwu secretly complained, these ten thousand Shoufu are tough enough, on the one hand, he is competing with Liu Cifu for the position of cabinet minister, and on the other hand, he still has the leisure to plan the purge of the speech officials, he is really old and strong, and he is full of energy.

However, Fang Yingwu suddenly remembered Xu Pu, and asked again, "Didn't Master Xu move?" It is said that he is also a very qualified person to enter the cabinet. ”

Xu Pu, with the title of Zuo Shilang of the Bachelor's Department of the Hanlin Academy, is the leader of the generation of Hanyuan after Ke Qian, with all the status and fame, and he does have the qualifications to enter the cabinet, and the competitiveness is one of the best, at least there is no problem in overshadowing Peng Hua.

Fang Qingzhi thought for a while and replied: "As my father can see, Master Xu is very indifferent now, and he doesn't have any intention of entering the cabinet. ”

Fang Qingzhi then asked rhetorically: "In your opinion, why doesn't this Master Xu want to enter the cabinet?" ”

Fang Yingwu frowned and thought for a moment before he replied, "If you want me to say this reason, this Master Xu may have a bit of a perfectionist tendency. ”

Fang Qingzhi had never heard of this word, and wondered: "What does this mean?" ”

"Perfectionism is about doing things either to be the best or not to do it. Now the atmosphere in the temple is not right, and if you enter the cabinet as a cabinet minister at this time, there is a head assistant such as Wan An in front, and there is a son of heaven like His Majesty Xià above. If it is not light and dust, it will definitely not be able to continue.

If it is really the same as light and dust. It has become a new papier-mâché Sange Lao, which is very bad for personal reputation. Put it in the history books. Probably going to be a failed Jaesuke character in the dark years.

So I guess this Bachelor Xu feels that the timing is not good at the moment, and would rather give up the opportunity to enter the cabinet, and wait until the future when the atmosphere is clear before seeking to enter the cabinet. Of course, if you can't wait for the Dao Chief's demon to disappear, I guess this Master Xu would rather retire in order to protect his reputation for the rest of his life. ”

Fang Qingzhi nodded slightly, as if he had realized. Fang Yingwu picked up a pen and wrote a letter in the study, since his father didn't want to open his mouth to Master Xu, then it was up to him to sing blackface.

By the time I finished writing the letter, it was already dark at night. Fang Yingwu took his leave, went to the West Courtyard to appease the concubine, and then went back to the county office. It's not that Fang Yingwu loves work and is diligent in the king's affairs, but he is in an extraordinary period right now, and I don't know how many people pay attention to him, so it's better to be cautious. After all, according to the rules, the county magistrate is generally not allowed to spend the night outside the county office.

The next day, Fang Yingwu was already busy with official business, and went to the south of the city early in the morning to inspect the river dredging work. The summer flood is coming. The problem of the accessibility of the waterways must not be sloppy.

After a day outside, Fang Zhixian didn't look tired. He returned to the county office in high spirits and asked Lou Tianhua, "How many posts did you receive today?" ”

Lou Tianhua replied: "Not one." ”

Fang Yingwu was very surprised, and returned to the market yesterday. Today, the contrast is too great, right? Then he commanded: "Then bring yesterday's name post, and the official should also meet with someone." ”

Lou Tianhua replied again: "The editor has passed on the word again. Tell the proprietor to go back again. ”

Fang Zhixian was speechless, he was just called home once yesterday. I'm going home again today, is my father addicted to calling people?

But the father had a life. couldn't resist, Fang Zhixian had to change into a scribe's shirt, and went home quietly in microclothes. As yesterday, my father was waiting in the study.

When Fang Qingzhi saw his son, his expression was very strange, and he said, "When I went to the Hanlin Academy for my father today, I forwarded your letter to Master Xu. Master Xu said that he agreed, as long as you are willing to stop. ”

"Oh what? He agreed? Fang Yingwu was completely taken aback, his eyes widened, and he almost suspected that he had misheard.

Fang Yingwu couldn't help but shout again: "How is this possible!" ”

To be honest, although Fang Yingwu clearly said that he wanted to wait for the price to sell, depending on who had the highest conditions, he would help whoever acted, theoretically speaking, he could also compromise with Dai Jin and Shang Ming, as long as these two offered enough prices.

But in fact, Fang Yingwu knew his original intention very well, and he also had a fundamental principle to help Wang Zhi, and the best way was to fight Shang Ming to save Wang Zhi's fate.

Therefore, Fang Yingwu did not think of compromising on this matter in his heart, and the so-called selling at a price was just such an intention: on the one hand, he unswervingly attacked Dai Jinshangming, and on the other hand, he pulled a few allies and made more benefits, so as to achieve a win-win effect and maximize benefits.

After Fang Yingwu heard Master Xu's request to stop yesterday, the two conditions he put forward were actually very unreasonable conditions, and he didn't expect Xu Pu to agree at all!

Just think about it, it is not impossible to ask Xu Pu to recommend his father to be promoted to a product immediately, from a technical point of view, and it will not be too criticized, how a clear stream Hanlin can be promoted is not an exaggeration. But why did Xu Pu do his father such a big favor? At the year-end banquet of Hanlin Academy, his father was not in Xu Pu's circle.

In addition, it is even more impossible to ask Xu Pu to suppress Xie Qian for three years. Xie Qian is the successor chosen by Master Xu, and he is the candidate to inherit the mantle, can Xu Pu be guilty of abolishing his martial arts for other people's affairs? No matter how big the scandal in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is, it has nothing to do with Bachelor Xu.

But the most unlikely thing happened, Xu Pu and Master Xu agreed! The temptation of these two conditions was too great, big enough for Fang Yingwu to waver.

If you are promoted to one grade this year, and then you will be promoted to another level after compiling the book next year, then the speed of my father's promotion is simply faster than that of Xie Qian back then, and it may not be a dream to be a cabinet elder when he is in his forties!

Mr. Xu can't be the wrong tendon, right? Fang Yingwu put away his lazy expression, became stern, and silently re-examined the whole thing in his heart.

Yesterday, I didn't expect a question, why did Mr. Xu persuade him to stop? No matter how you look at it, it's also a bit nosy, why does he care about this nosy?

Regarding this question, Fang Yingwu lacked more information, he knew that he couldn't come up with an answer, but he had a vague feeling that things were out of his control

Remembering what I heard yesterday, someone like Wan Shoufu wants to make waves with this? So someone must want to counter Wan Shoufu? Then the turmoil will revolve around these people, and as for the specific doorway inside, it is still impossible to come up with it when there is no information.

But Fang Yingwu can feel that things have changed from centering on himself to a higher-level game after getting rid of himself. The most intuitive expression is that yesterday Wanping County Yamen Tingruo City, today others know the situation and feel that they can't control the scene, so no one will come to find them.

Fang Yingwu was suddenly furious, all the fucking ones were stealing the show! These people are worthy of being political zhì old fritters, and they are going to snatch the focus of the camera by dividing them by two!

He hates this out-of-control situation the most, originally he wanted to play a big game of chess, but don't make the chess player become someone else, what's the point of that!

Fang Qingzhi looked at his son and asked, "Don't think nonsense, first say how to reply to Master Xu?" (To be continued......)
