Fang Yingwu left the flower hall with Ning Shigu and walked to the atrium, where he saw two lobbies that looked exactly the same standing in front of each other.

The contrast of popularity between the two lobbies is very strong, and the east lobby is crowded with people under the stairs; The west lobby is deserted and full of doors.

This scene made Fang Yingwu stunned, as the saying goes, there are no two heavens and no two people, there is only one official in a yamen, and there is only one main hall, this is common sense, how can there be two halls here?

But soon Fang Yingwu understood that the two lobbies were the offices of the political envoys on the left and right, and the two political envoys were of the same grade, and the treatment was naturally very similar.

But it is said that the most bizarre thing about the political envoy is that the deputy position may be divided into left and right, but I don't see other people who sit in the main position of the government also divide left and right. No one has ever heard of the left Shangshu and the right Shangshu, the left governor and the right governor, and as for the right imperial envoy, he is not a member of the Inspectorate.

In the early years of the dynasty, there was no governor, and the political envoy, as the head of the three local divisions, had great power, and Emperor Taizu was divided into left and right political envoys. However, it may be due to the needs of the emperor's mental tricks, but Emperor Taizu did not clearly define the division of labor between the political envoys.

In practice, it has gradually become a common practice. According to the rule of respecting the left, the left political envoy is the political envoy who is in charge of affairs with the palm print, while the right political envoy's main job is to assist in coordination, and the left political envoy assigns and appoints specific affairs.

Later, the governor who concentrated his power appeared, and even the power of the left political envoy was greatly weakened, and the right political envoy in many places became an idle official playing soy sauce, which was basically a position to maintain seniority. As can be seen from the official qualifications, the term of office of the right-hand political envoys is very short. Often when he is promoted and left in a few months, he plays an excessive role.

Then again. In the Zhejiang Political Envoy Division, the boss is of course the current Zuo Bu Political Envoy Ning Liang. As for who is the right-hand political envoy who is nominally on a par with Lord Ning. Fang Yingwu didn't bother to ask Ning Shigu.

Thinking about it, I also know that under the shadow of Mr. Ning, who is known as the closest governor in the rivers and lakes, the situation of this right-hand political envoy must be extremely tragic, and it is estimated that there will be no real power, and it is meaningless to ask.

Ning Shigu brought Fang Yingwu into the hall to the east, and there was an old man in a scarlet robe sitting behind the public case, presumably Ning Liang. Fang Yingwu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, seeing it with junior etiquette.

But when he heard Boss Ning's "hmm", he thought it was a gesture, and Fang Yingwu peeked at it carefully. Seeing that this old man Ning had all white hair, he was old, and he had age spots on his face and the back of his hands, and he was not very stable when he sat down, trembling and worrying.

Looking at this appearance, it is much more decayed than the Shang Xianggong who went home to Zhishi, and Fang Yingwu sighed secretly. Master Ning let the servants serve tea, and said, "How is the Duke of Su'an?" ”

Su'an Gong is a businessman, and it is common to ask the other party's elders about the current situation when greetings, but Fang Yingwu has just returned from the north and passed through Hangzhou. He has not been in Chun'an for nearly a year, how has he seen the recent situation of the business minister? How do you answer the phone?

Ning Shigu, who accompanied his father to meet the guests, hurriedly reminded him, "Brother Fang Xian went to Yulin last year, and he is about to return to his hometown now. ”

"Oh. Oh. Elder Ning Liang changed his mind at this time, "Fang Xian's nephew has worked hard all the way to serve the country in the border town. ”

Fang Yingwu sighed again. Master Ning is already confused like this, no wonder Ning Shi Gu Ning Yanei wants to run before and after the foil. There's no way around it. Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. Ning Yanei can still help wholeheartedly.

When he was thinking wildly, he listened to Mr. Ning's words: "Thanks to the reminder of the virtuous nephew today, otherwise the old man is only afraid of falling into the middle and does not know it." But how to deal with this matter, the old man has no idea for a while, how can the virtuous nephew teach me? ”

Fang Yingwu hurriedly humbled a few words, and then excused himself: "The boss is old enough to seek the country, and he has his own opinions, so you don't need to talk too much." ”

Ning Liang praised it vigorously: "The old man has heard that the virtuous nephew is in the north, scheming like a god, and he is a person with a ravine in his chest. It is not a bad thing for young people to have sharpness, so why should they be so humble? ”

Fang Yingwu still excused himself again and again, "That's just a mistake, a little bit of good luck, not to mention any calculations." But it provoked the praise of the boss, which was really not expected by the boy. ”

Only those who are fledgling will be excited to work hard for a few words of praise and promotion from others, Fang Yingwu has already passed that age in his previous life.

He will not refuse to do what is right, and he will not deliberately fail to do good when he can do it, but he will also not do more than he can bear. It can be said that the most devastating thing about Vanity Fair is this, which is called maturity.

Today's incident may involve the eunuchs in Zhejiang, today's overall atmosphere is evil, the eunuch Shili is in a period of expansion, not everyone talks about "temperance" like Wang Zhi.

If he can remind him a few words, he can already be regarded as fulfilling his junior obligations, and he is too active in helping Boss Ning to come forward, which is really a bit difficult for him.

When Zuihou said goodbye, Mr. Ning said again: "Next year is the year of the township test, presumably Fang Xian's nephew will come to Hangzhou again, and then the old man or many inconveniences will entrust Xiao'er to entertain you, just like today." ”

Fang Yingwu's heart jumped suddenly, he heard the words "township test", and heard Elder Ning say, "There will be a lot of inconvenience when the time comes", does this imply anything? Only if you participate in the examination work, will it be more inconvenient?

Retreating from the lobby, Fang Yingwu's mind still echoed with the word "township test", if there are opportunities that he can catch or not, and some opportunities must be grasped, then the "township test" is a must.

If the road to the imperial examination is compared to thousands of troops and horses crowded on a single-plank bridge, the narrowest place is the township test, and there is only a probability of one out of thirty to gather the elite of the province's masters, which is simply miserable.

After Fang Yingwu thought about it, he decided to touch the situation first, and asked as he walked with Ning Shigu: "It's really strange to say this today, what local governments and counties can't do, how can someone come to make trouble with the political envoy?" ”

Ning Shigu no longer hid anything, "In fact, it is also the responsibility of the father, and now that the father is getting older, the road to fame in his life has come to an end, and he begins to think about what is behind him."

People have three stands, the father still has self-knowledge, morality and words are not daring to think, and those who are obsessed with only meritorious service. ”

Fang Yingwu expressed his understanding of this, and it is common for people in officialdom to leave their voices and leopards to die and leave their skins, except for some heartless people. "What does the boss want to do?"

Ning Shigu continued: "Zhejiang has suffered from the sea tide, and it has been like this for thousands of years, and my father wanted to make a contribution on the sea pond. Therefore, since the thirteenth year of Chenghua, large-scale construction began to repair the sea pond. ”

Fang Yingwu didn't understand it even more, "This is good governance, what does it have to do with trouble?" ”

Ning Shigu said helplessly: "This is not a short-term achievement, my father feels that he has not much time left, and he does not want to leave problems for future generations, so he is a little more anxious to levy and issue forced labor."

In February this year, the snow was even worse, the tide was too strong, and the dam was seriously damaged. All kinds of factors have caused many coastal people to be dissatisfied, which is why today's villagers have written books to make trouble.

Although you guess that someone is manipulating behind it, if there is no root, there will be no today's fruit, and the people's resentment is indeed there. ”

Fang Yingwu suddenly realized, no wonder, no wonder, many times you can do good things without good intentions.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "If today's incident is by no means a coincidence, it is true that someone is using the people to manipulate the incident, who do you think is most likely to be the person who helped Eunuch Li's organization behind the scenes?" In other words, who is most looking forward to the boss's dedication? ”

It's not that Fang Yingwu is not smart enough, he doesn't know much about the situation in the officialdom of Zhejiang Province, and even if he guesses, it is purposeless and blind, so he has to rely on Ning Yanei, who is familiar with the situation, to guess.

Ning Shigu frowned and said nothing, but he raised his head and looked to the west. Fang Yingwu followed his gaze and saw the other of the two halls of the Political Envoy Division, that is, the Right Political Envoy's Office.

Fang Yingwu didn't believe it very much, "If the boss is a leader, then the right political envoy can take over naturally?" But the boss is old, and he can wait slowly, so why rush to take risks and make these moves today? ”

Ning Shi said mockingly: "That Lord Lu Chenlu's term of office is coming soon, but I am afraid that my father has not yet survived to Zhishi, but he will be transferred away first."

Zhejiang is one of the most prosperous places in the world, and there is no governor at present, who doesn't want to stay in Zhejiang? I want to come to Lord Lu is no exception. ”

In this way, the motive of this right-hand political envoy is really very good, but Lu Bu's political envoy's mind is also quite ingenious, Fang Yingwu thought.

If Lord Lu himself came forward to seize Lord Ning's mistake and attack on impeachment, even if Zuihou succeeded in getting the imperial court to order Lord Ning to become a minister, and he took over as Zuo Bu's political envoy, then his own reputation would also be bad, at least in the eyes of the world.

Unless he gives up the opportunity to take over as Zuobu's political envoy, then he can prove his innocence. But if so, why did he bother?

And now Lord Lu has burned the fire to the Weaving Bureau, and let the eunuch come forward to impeach Master Ning, that is really a wonderful move. The first is to borrow the close relationship between the eunuch and the Son of Heaven, the second is to avoid himself from being a villain, and the third is to burn the fire to the weaving bureau, which will make it easier for the Son of Heaven to be displeased with this.

Of course, there is a premise that the collusion between Lord Lu and the eunuch Li Yi Li of the Zhejiang Town Guard and the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau has not been made public, at least no one has raised it on the surface. Otherwise, Lord Lu's reputation in Shilin will also be ruined.

Of course, if you don't care about ruining your reputation, you can still be a pavilion elder and a scholar, but judging from the fact that Lord Lu is unwilling to come forward in person, Lord Lu still cares about feathers.

Lord Lu has indeed done a good job of leaving no traces, and so far there is no direct evidence pointing to him. Fang Yingwu actually relied on his own intuition to guess, and he didn't believe that there were really so many coincidences in the world, and there was a great possibility of being stubborn and wronging others.

After figuring it out, the lines of a soap opera in his previous life suddenly popped up in Fang Yingwu's mind: This is the case, and the situation is the case (to be continued......
