After the opening, Yao Qian, the owner of the bookstore, held a banquet in a nearby restaurant, and invited the guests to eat and drink and then disperse. He originally wanted to keep Fang Yingwu and continue to discuss the details of the operation of the Bagu Anthology, but Fang Yingwu politely refused.

"It's too early to discuss the details, and we need to check if we can get the test papers before we can move on to the next step. Otherwise, it is in full swing with what it says, and it is all lip service, but it is not true. ”

Leaving the Zhongyi Bookstore, the entourage Fang Yingshi said to Fang Yingwu: "Brother Qiu, you seem to be very happy today." ”

"What do you mean?" Fang Yingwu asked rhetorically.

Fang Yingshi said with a big grin: "The last time you came out of the alley of the Jiaofang Division, you looked very happy, but after only one day, you looked depressed again. ”

"Are you embarrassed to talk about that day?" Speaking of this, Fang Yingwu was very helpless, "It was you who ruined my chance to be a bad person, so that I couldn't frame Zhongliang with peace of mind, but you became a righteous servant who bravely saved the master." ”

Fang Yingshi laughed, and was a little proud, almost writing on his face, "This is a man who beat five brocade guards."

Fang Yingwu said tentatively: "I heard that someone offered you a high price of five taels a month, please go to the nursing home?" ”

"Brother Qiu, but please rest assured, I will never abandon you!" Fang Yingshi patted his chest and said.

This is who can abandon who can only be moved to say: "xiexie! ”

However, he sighed secretly, he was suppressed everywhere in the capital, and it was not easy for him to carefully toss and turn in the middle of it, and he even had to dig out his mind to refuse others to send women.

It's strange to be happy, there are always times in life when you are so helpless. But today did feel fulfilling. I found the feeling of being at ease with the traverser, and because I hope to do something on my own. Instead of running errands every day to look at people's eyes.

Does this also mean that I am currently a person at this level? That's why it seems to be at ease.

Fang Yingwu looked at the sky, it was only afternoon, and then went to Liu Ji's mansion. According to his experience in dealing with Liu Mian, Scholar Liu must go to the morning court seriously in the morning to complete the scene in front of the Son of Heaven. Then I was about to go to the cabinet to see the affairs, and Zuihou would go home at noon - the cabinet was actually in the evening, and it was strange to go home in the afternoon during the reign of any emperor.

The fact that scholars have taken the lead in slacking off shows the degree of laziness in the political style during the Chenghua period, and Liu Mian was criticized and repeatedly impeached and besieged. It's not for nothing.

Therefore, in this afternoon, if Scholar Liu did not go out, he should be at home to escape the heat and be lazy.

Fang Yingwu arrived nearby, but out of caution he did not come to the door directly, it is inconvenient for him to make a big deal now, and his contact with Liu Mian should be kept secret, otherwise it is easy to be regarded as the same party, and the tout effect in the future will be far worse.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to the left and right, Fang Yingwu found a writing gentleman on the side of the road. borrowed a pen and paper to write a letter of worship, and asked Fang Yingshi to take it to Liu's Mansion to throw it in.

I don't know how long it took, Fang Yingshi ran over: "The steward over there replied and let you in." ”

Fang Yingwu should keep his head down as much as possible. Silently rubbing the root of the wall and walking, he came to the gate of Liu's mansion without revealing the mountains and water.

Later, he was led to the study of Scholar Liu and met the queen of the ceremony. Liu Ji took the initiative to speak: "Are you here to ask about Ling Zun?" The celebrant has already approved the red hair and ordered me to interrogate the matter. Now the edict has reached the criminal department of the six branches. After the criminal department has checked, it will be sent to Jinyiwei. ”

Fang Yingwu asked, "Send it to the Jinyi Guard." Do you want to repeat it and present it to the old man? ”

Liu Ji nodded and said, "Yes, this is all a fixed process." ”

Fang Yingwu sighed, the operation of this bureaucratic machine is really anxious, and the whole process is filled with paperwork. He said helplessly: "Then wait for the good news of the boss." ”

Liu Ji pointed and said: "The key is not the old man's interrogation, this matter is clear, there is nothing to interrogate, it is purely a scene." The real key is that Ling Zun needs to write a letter of repentance, so that he can have an explanation to the Son of Heaven. ”

"I'm afraid this is difficult," Fang Yingwu listened to his head. With his father's character, he must firmly believe in his own righteousness and firmly defend the justice in his heart, how can he write such a thing as a letter of repentance, is it wrong to be a loyal minister and speak out? It is estimated that my father will not admit his mistake.

Fang Yingwu said even more helplessly: "If it comes to this point, then let's talk about it." ”

He also talked about the compilation of the Bagu anthology: "In his later life, he wanted to cooperate with the fellow hometown bookstore to compile an anthology of current literature, and publish it for publication. ”

When Liu Ji heard this idea, he didn't care if it was feasible or not, but asked first, "How did you come up with this idea?" ”

Fang Yingwu replied; "As soon as Lingxi moved, he felt that there was a lot to be done in this matter."

Liu Ji said with a smile: "Being young is the benefit of this, dare to think and dare to do." ”

Your old man has never dared to think or do it? Fang Yingwu thought. But he hit the snake with the stick in his mouth: "I still have to rely on the support of the old man." This year, the test papers are all stored in the Ministry of Rites, and I also ask the old man to speak, so that the late students can copy a copy, if it can be accompanied by the examiner's judgment, it is the best. ”

Liu Ji replied: "The old man's book of the Ministry of Rites is a false title, and he is not in charge of the affairs of the ministry."

Fang Yingwu hurriedly said: "This kind of eight-strand anthology is a new thing, it will be published all over the world, and it must be read by scholars who are aspiring to do business, and this book can be used as half a karma teacher at that time." I would like to ask the old man to comment on one or two of it, or write a preface for the new book. ”

Liu Ji turned around without a trace: "Although the old man doesn't care about the ministry, it still works to speak in the Ministry of Rites." ”

Fang Yingwu smiled secretly, Liu Mian is now in a stable position as a cabinet minister, and he is keen to repair his image, otherwise he would not help save his famous father and prepare poems to praise. If there is a good channel to establish an image and build up his reputation, it will be hellish if he doesn't care.

Moreover, Liu Daxue was a junior at the age of twenty-three or four, and then he was born in Hanlin, no matter what his character is, his article skills are still very strong, and he is a scholar of Zaifu University, and it is not cheaper to invite him to show his face, which is equivalent to a star signboard.

Liu Ji pondered for a moment, wrote a letter with a pen, handed it to Fang Yingwu and said, "You take this letter to see Lord Zou of the Ministry of Rites." ”

"Thank you, sir." Fang Yingwu thanked him, with such a letter, he should be invincible.

Besides, what he wants to do is not an illegal crime, in order to advertise fairness, fairness and openness, the test papers can be disclosed and reviewed, and even the examiner's comments are not considered confidential. So since the scholar sent a message and asked him to take a few people from the bookstore and go to the Ministry of Rites to copy more than 200 test papers, is it difficult? (To be continued.) )
