During the Chenghua Dynasty, Shu Jishi was not selected by the branch, and there were about two or three science halls to choose once, and the previous subject in the fourteenth year of Chenghua was selected, so it is unlikely that the current subject will be selected. Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu sighed for a long time, lamenting that he was born at the wrong time and had no way to serve the country.

With his high ranking, coupled with his past exploits, it is not a problem to enter the officialdom and start with six grades, but if he is not a Jishi, there will be a ceiling in the future, and the higher he goes, the more difficult it is, and it is almost impossible to enter the cabinet.

Fang Qingzhi looked at his son's sad and indignant face, and felt very funny because of his ambition and bad luck. This son of his own family thinks too much, right? Right now, I'm just getting into the Jinshi, and I've only stepped into the officialdom half a foot, thinking that I want to be the ruler of Zaifu in the future, and I'm still indignant because I may not have a chance? Should he be ambitious, or is he ambitious?

After thinking about it again, it is not a bad thing to be aggressive, so Fang Xiu put on a loving father and comforted: "Everything is unknown, maybe this branch will still be selected, you don't have to worry about it first." ”

Fang Yingwu waved his hand weakly, "Father doesn't need to comfort me, the world is unfair, my blood is cold, and I have no choice but to be a scholar in this life." ”

Fang Qingzhi wanted to open his mouth and scold angrily: Do you think that the imperial court was opened by you, if you want to be a Zaifu, you can be a Zaifu, and if you want to be a Shangshu, you can be a Shangshu? But he has had more contact with Fang Yingwu, and his adaptability has been there, and he can keep smiling, and it is rare to joke: "Maybe the Son of Heaven has made great contributions to you, and he sees that you are a talent, and he has sent down the grace of heaven to select you as a Jishi." ”

"Father, this is a good idea!" Fang Yingwu's eyes lit up, and after nodding, he thought about it very seriously.

If he became the only seedling of this department, wouldn't he become the only "reserve cadre" in this time period? The benefits of this. It just speaks for itself!

Stop dreaming! Fang Qingzhi was very helpless against his demonic son. I couldn't say anything more, so I had to pat my forehead and divert the topic. He instructed: "Your family affairs have also been decided, and you will be married on the fifteenth day of the next month, that is, on April 15." Be cautious during this time. Don't make any jokes! ”

"Oh!" Fang Yingwu responded absentmindedly.

At this time, Fang Yingwu's chief trotted over with Wang Ying and reported to Fang Yingwu's side: "Someone sent a gift to congratulate him." ”

Fang Yingwu and Fang Qingzhi's father and son didn't care too much, after Fang Yingwu entered high school, there were not a few people who came to say hello, and it was not uncommon.

Fang Yingwu asked casually, "Who is it?" Wang Ying reported in a low voice again: "It seems to be a post from the West Factory"

West Factory? Fang Yingwu was slightly surprised, he had never had anything to do with Xichang, and he was not a fellow traveler, what kind of joy did they congratulate themselves? It's also too nondescript.

Immediately, it was suddenly realized. If there is anything to do with it, it is that Wang Zhi, the current governor of the West Factory, asked again: "Could it be the post of the factory governor?" ”

Wang Ying nodded, admiring it in her heart. When he was in Changzhou, Fang Yingwu offended the factory supervisor and was so frightened that he fled overnight.

Fang Yingwu slammed his fist and said happily: "It's just right!" What do you want! After calling, he only felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and he looked sideways. But he saw his father squinting at him with disdain.

A scholar in the hall, the eighth Jinshi in the second class of the new department, heard that the powerful factory official sent people to congratulate him, and he was overjoyed. What kind of festival is this? What kind of demeanor is this?

"I" should explain a few words. But Fang Qingzhi shook his head, not intending to listen to Fang Yingwu's justification, while chanting, "The widow is just unteachable." While sighing and worried, he left.

Fang Yingwu was helpless, turned to Wang Ying and ordered, "Bring the guests to the main hall of the West Courtyard." I'm going to see him in person. ”

This was sent by Wang Zhi, and the person who came to congratulate him was a middle-aged man with a black face. The appearance is ordinary, and you can't tell what your identity is from the clothes.

Fang Yingwu gestured to the black-faced man, and asked, "I have a few words I want to ask Your Excellency, I don't know where Wang Gong is now?" ”

The black-faced man hesitated when he heard this. Factory Supervisor Wang Zhi has never congratulated anyone's family, and this is the first time, so he can judge that the factory boss has a lot to do with the new adult in front of him, at least the factory supervisor unilaterally values the person in front of him.

But he also knows that the factory likes to stealthily walk, attaches great importance to the secrecy of his whereabouts, and hates his whereabouts being leaked. When the thirteenth year of Chenghua was the most violent, there was a fan who leaked the itinerary of the factory supervisor, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.

So Fang Yingwu's question made the black-faced man very entangled, why did this young man ask about this?

Seeing the other party's embarrassment, Fang Yingwu smiled dumbly and said, "I don't know if the factory supervisor is in the capital or in the barracks?" If you are in the capital, please report a sentence, just say that you intend to secretly meet the factory governor, I don't know if it is convenient? ”

Such a black-faced man responded: "I should repay myself, if the factory is interested, I will naturally send someone to invite." ”

Gossip aside, Fang Yingwu said that when Shu Jishi racked his brains, the wheel of history continued to roll forward. However, it is said that after a scholar is admitted to the Jinshi, he may not be an official immediately, and the imperial court cannot come up with two or three hundred suitable positions at once. In the process of waiting for the election of officials, the new branch scholars had to be sent to various yamen for internships, and their scientific name was Guanzheng.

Most of the new scholars have to go through a long or short period of observing politics, during which they gradually adapt to the life of officialdom as a political observer, and they also have to learn how to handle government affairs and be familiar with the laws of the imperial court, so that they can get started as soon as possible after taking up their official posts in the future.

And the new jinshi Fang Yingwu was assigned to the Ministry of Rites to observe the government, and he became a glorious Jinshi to watch the government, which should be said to be a very good arrangement. First of all, it is better to be able to intern in the core yamen of the Sixth Ministry than to go to those prisons and monasteries whose names people can't remember clearly.

Secondly, according to the ranking of officialdom, the Ministry of Rites is second only to the Ministry of Officials among the six departments, and it is impossible for the Ministry of Officials, a unique yamen who holds the power of selection, to arrange for the new branch to observe the government. Of course, Qing also has the meaning of leisure and clear water, in fact, Fang Yingwu originally wanted to go to the military department to see if Liu Daxia burned Zheng He's navigation chart.

When he went to the Ministry of Rites to report, Fang Yingwu looked for Shangshu Zhou Hongmo, who was not there; Looking for the waiter Xu Pu, he is not there. So Fang Yingwu scratched his head, there are four divisions under the Ministry of Rites, and the officials in charge are not there, so which department do you go to observe politics?

In desperation, Fang Yingwu had no choice but to go to the lobby of the Ministry of Rites and chat with a few old officials on duty. "It's busy now, and your lordships are often absent." An old official laughed.

Fang Yingwu said strangely: "You old horseman, don't bully me newcomers who don't understand." Isn't the Ministry of Rites known as the lightest of the six? Every day is just drinking tea and reading newspapers, what's the hurry? ”

"It's usually a bit of a bare thing, but lately things have been coming together. In the past, there were successive suburbs and spring festivals, not to mention, but now there is a great victory in Weininghai in northern Xinjiang, and it is about to prepare for the temple and sacrifice prisoners, and this kind of gift has not been held for decades, and the court is very unfamiliar from top to bottom, and it is inevitable that it will be busy. (To be continued......)
