Chapter 781: The Straight Man (Part II)

Others may be regarded as immeasurably seeking official positions implicitly, but it is natural for Fang Yingwu to do so. In any case, it is impossible not to reward a hero like Fang Yingwu who has made a fatal effort.

After a little thought, the Son of Heaven happily ordered and said, "I remember that you were Zuo Zhongyun before? Now he can be promoted to the left and the middle scholar. ”

This conferral looks plain, but it actually contains several meanings. Zuo Zhongyun is the sixth grade, and Zuo Yude is from the fifth grade, and he has risen one level from the grade. The grade of the ministers is generally not high, and it is quite valuable for Qingliu to upgrade one level, and one or two grades from the outer dynasty are not as good as Qingliu.

Secondly, Zuo Yude is an official of the Zhan Shifu and the nominal minister of the East Palace, but at present, there is not even a prince, and the minister of the East Palace can definitely only be a nominal position, so the Son of Heaven let Fang Yingwu and the Chinese scholar be a real job.

The scholars are divided into two categories, one is to serve the Son of Heaven around the consultants, and when the court is in the same place as the celebrant and the eunuch, they stand beside the Son of Heaven, which is an extremely important position, and is generally called the scholar of the Chinese Calligraphy Department; The other type of scholar is to run errands in the cabinet, and can only be regarded as high-level officials, not a clear stream.

The Zhongshu who gave Fang Yingwu is obviously the first category, and it can't be the latter kind, otherwise it will be a humiliation of the other party's Yingwu. But having said that, although the Zhongshu Sheren is critical, it is only the seventh grade, so the Son of Heaven added the rank of Zuo Yude to Fang Yingwu and promoted the high grade.

Third, before Fang Yingwu's father Fang Qingzhi was demoted, his official title was Zhan Shifu Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude, such as today's son also promoted Fang Yingwu to Zuo Yude. Then it shows that after Fang Qingzhi returned to the dynasty, it was definitely not just an official reinstatement. How can there be a reason that father and son are the same official, he also has a reward.

Fang Yingwu is not only a big joy, but also a big joy. The official position of the scholar in the middle of the Chinese calligraphy department is exactly what he needs. If you want to strengthen the influence of the Son of Heaven, what other position is more convenient than the Zhongshusheren? Even when the dynasty came. The people of Zhongshu are only a few steps away from the Son of Heaven, and they are closer than the university scholars Hanlin or something!

The most important thing is that this shows that the Son of Heaven still appreciates himself in his heart! Otherwise, even if he is an official, he can be sent far away, so why stay by his side and serve as a minister? It seems that the Son of Heaven still appreciates his "uprightness", of course, the premise is not to be "upright" to the Son of Heaven himself.

Unlike foreign officials, the promotion of ministers is decided by the Son of Heaven, and there is generally no need to go through the guò ministries and the internal and external courts, so their appointments are basically effective.

In this way, I thanked Long. He stood in the crowd of attendants and ministers next to him, and began to "prepare advisers" on the spot. Some people are unhappy, so they won't name them; There are also some people who are not happy that they seem to have found a new core, and they will not be named.

The Son of Heaven sat in the palace and met with the ministers, of course, not only to summon Fang Yingwu, but also to summon Fang Yingwu, which was just one of the many things that happened today. After the procedure of meeting the prescription was over, the monarch and the minister began to discuss other matters.

Someone said: "The minister heard that Dongchang took the murder as the reason. put Wanda, Wan Niuer and others from the noble concubine family in prison. The minister thought that this was Wang Zhi's deliberate flattery, and His Majesty should not be deceived by it. ”

Hearing that the sworn enemy Wan Jia was unlucky, the Son of Heaven was inevitably a little happy in his heart. But for the sake of the gentleman's demeanor, he could only listen expressionlessly.

Liu Jian, the boss who can rank second or third in the successor party, stood up and said: "Wang Zhi's move is extremely inappropriate, and outsiders may think that he was instructed by His Majesty. In the end, I am afraid that I will trap the king in injustice. Let the people of the world think that His Majesty is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate others. ”

The Son of Heaven nodded thoughtfully. Seeing this, Fang Yingwu secretly wiped his sweat, fortunately he had mixed into the Wenhua Hall today. Otherwise, if Eunuch Wang is pitted here, he will have to make great efforts to remedy it afterwards.

So Fang Yingwu decisively fulfilled his duties. He said: "Wang Zhi arrested the remnants of the ten thousand families, this is the duty of the ministers, and he is acting in accordance with the law, what's wrong?" As for how to deal with the Wan family in the end, it is all in the hands of His Majesty, so why should my generation have to put more beaks?

Besides, Senior Liu is known to be resourceful, is it such a tendon to see the problem? Don't you hear the truth of looking at one side and looking at two things, isn't this an opportunity for His Majesty to show his generosity? If the Wan family does not violate the law of the country, His Majesty can let go of the people again, and they will also be benevolent and kind; If the Wan family really violated the law of the country, they also deserve it! ”

Hmm, the Son of Heaven nodded again, or what Fang Yingwu said was more in line with his own thoughts and more operable. Others talk a lot about big things, but they can't say a specific way to act.

Liu Jian glanced at Fang Yingwu and retreated without saying anything. After that, the head of the ministers, Xu Pu Xu, appeared again, and said to the Son of Heaven: "Regarding the compilation of the records of the former emperor, the minister has drawn up a list of compilation officials here, and I will ask His Majesty to judge the emperor." ”

Record? When Fang Yingwu heard these two words, he immediately pricked up his ears and concentrated on listening, because the actual record has extremely important political significance.

As mentioned above, compiling and repairing books in the imperial court is different from that of later generations, and it is all important political affairs. Not to mention the cultivation of real records, it is definitely the top and most high-end work in the imperial court.

The so-called record, there is no need to introduce it in detail, those who know a little know what it means, anyway, every emperor has to repair the record for the emperor after he ascends the throne. Moreover, there is a characteristic in the Ming Dynasty, which does not reconstruct history but attaches importance to the actual record, and the actual record of the emperors of the past dynasties has special significance in the Ming Dynasty.

More popularly, the revision of the record is the most gilded qualification of the cichen Qingliu, a bachelor can enter the cabinet after completing the record, and an ordinary editor can become a bachelor if he participates in the revision of the recordAs for the officials of foreign dynasties, don't want to meddle in such a lofty work, and the compilation of the record is basically monopolized by the Hanyuan ministers.

If you look at the resumes of the scholars of the Ming Cabinet, there are almost no people who have experienced the alternation of the old and the new. In this sense, the revision of the record is also a recognition of the candidacy for the cabinet.

Fang Yingwu silently calculated in his heart, Zhu Jianshen, the son of Chenghua, reigned for twenty-three years, which is relatively long, and the actual record must not be short, at least it will take a few years to finish.

He is too young, and although his reputation is great, it is not a reputation in terms of learning, and he is probably not qualified to participate in the cultivation of the record, but his father is fully qualified for this, and he can even be a little higher than an ordinary compiler.

If his father Fang Qingzhi participated in the cultivation of the actual record, he would finish it in a few years, and it would be safe and logical to be promoted at a high speed. At the very least, the officials of the six departments have started, and it is not impossible for luck to enter the cabinet.

All in all, this opportunity to compile the record should not be missed, unless my father gave up his dream of joining the cabinet. Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu raised his head and looked at the directory in the hand of the Son of Heaven. This list was planned by Xu Pu, will there be his father's name in it? (To be continued......)

PS: I'll continue to write in the evening, and I'm not sure what time it will be sent. Asking for a monthly pass, suddenly very sad, begging for one less time...... I don't know how many more times I can ask for this book.
