Chapter 67: Fame and Fortune
Seeing this long entourage enter the house, Fang Yingwu was quite emotional. I thought it would take a lot of trouble, but I didn't expect this long man to report it so happily.
Among the people in the world, people like Menzi and Changsui are hateful, and they will not do less to eat and take cards, but at the same time, they are definitely the most discerning people. If you don't have eyesight in this kind of profession, you won't be able to do it for a long time, and the master won't let you do it for a long time.
After a while, the other party responded with the other party: "The master is invited." β
Fang Yingwu entered the room. The room is the layout of the outer study and the inner bedroom, and Li Shishi, the academic officer, sat behind the bookcase, looking at Fang Yingwu in a short dress with an expressionless face.
In someone else's home field, of course, it is impossible to casually put the score of the mountain man Coats, which is too annoying. So Fang Yingwu behaved and honestly stepped forward and said: "Chun'an Tongsheng Fang Yingwu has seen the great master!" β
Li Tixue bowed slightly, and asked coldly: "You went to great lengths to sneak into the county school to see the official, what do you want to say?" β
Fang Yingwu explained: "Shang Xianggong entrusted me to say a few words to the great grandmaster, but the great grandmaster has already entered the examination hospital, so he has to take the risk of breaking the ban, and I hope that the great grandmaster Haihan." If the great master is guilty, the responsibility for this matter lies entirely with the kid alone, and there is no need to implicate others. β
"Let's not talk about the guilt first, what does the minister have to say?" Hearing the words "Shang Xianggong", although Li Tixue was still silent, he quietly raised his ears and listened carefully.
He doesn't go to Fucheng, but he will definitely press Linchun'an County, the school inspection examination is his business, and spying on the old movements of the Shangge is his main business.
Of course, whether the old Shang Pavilion has the heart to recover, whether he has engaged in activities on this matter, in fact, has nothing to do with him. The change of Shousuke does not affect him at this level. That's something that Shoufu Wange should be worried about.
He just wanted to be a scholar in Zhejiang, and he showed his loyalty to serve as the eyes and ears of Wan Shoufu. It's just a matter of finding out the news. But even if it is to inquire about the news of the business minister, it must also be reliable. It's not good to fabricate indiscriminately, otherwise if it leads to Wan Shoufu's misjudgment of the situation, he will inevitably be angry with him.
That's where he really got worried. Shang Xianggong lived in a simple house, except when he returned to his hometown, he had very little public contact with the outside world, and he refused to see him, so he was completely confused about the situation, and he couldn't report the news.
After all, this great grandmaster is only thirty-two or thirteen years old, and he is far from being an old treacherous and cunning. It's a little unsettling to face this unknown situation.
If someone like Fang Yingwu, who is similar to the role of Shang Xiang's public relations disciple, comes to talk, it will naturally be great!
Fang Yingwu, who had realized the Dao, was confident, and he didn't care about the slightly cold attitude of the Great Grandmaster, and said in a hurry: "Shang Xianggong once praised in private, the Great Grandmaster has strict discipline, supervised well, purifies the atmosphere, and uprightness. It can be an example for the world's scholars! β
Li Tixue's expressionless face trembled slightly, and he subconsciously asked, "Did Prime Minister Shang really say that?" β
He studied in Chun'an, and he also knew that he had violated the interests of the squire. The pressure is not without it. If Shang Xianggong, a well-known local boss, could stand up and advocate for himself, of course he would be much more relaxed.
However, Li Tixue probably felt that he was excited and out of shape, and he was a little self-defeating. He coughed again and returned to his impassivity.
After calming down. Li Tixue thought that Fang Yingwu said these words were the private words of the business minister. What's the use of that? If the prime minister publicly praises it, everyone knows it, and this is worth getting excited.
Fang Yingwu replied: "I said it, but I don't know it, and I think that the great master deserves this sentence." β
While talking just now, Fang Yingwu secretly observed, and combined with his previous analysis, he found that this scholar was really thinking a lot and looking ahead. From him, we can see that two contradictions are intertwined.
The first is that this great grandmaster only has the last three fames, and it was originally impossible to sit in the position of Zhejiang Scholar Promotion, but he relied on the strong support of Shoufu Wan'an.
In order to convince the public, and in order to protect himself preventively, it is easier to go to extremes than ordinary school officials, for fear that others will say that he can't do it, as can be seen from his harsh methods in Chun'an, and it is rare to depose more than a dozen talents in one go.
Decades after Grandmaster Li, after the failure of the political struggle, Zhishi still refused to be honest when he went home, and he had to help King Ning rebel, which was probably a reaction to this stubbornness.
The second is that there is still a bit of shame in this person's heart. Wan Shoufu started by patting Wan Guifei's sycophants, and he acted blindly to flatter and welcome the Son of Heaven, so his reputation in Shilin was not very good, and he was too far behind the respected Shilin leader like Shang Xianggong.
Although Li Tixue is only where he is today by relying on the promotion of Wan Shoufu, it does not mean that he is not eager for the recognition of others. At least just mentioned that Shang Xianggong praised him, and his face changed very much
As far as the actual situation of Li Tixue is concerned, he is famous for following Wan Shoufu and treating Shang Xianggong well, so he is very contradictory.
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu asked tentatively: "If I remember correctly, the Great Grandmaster is Wan Shoufu's protΓ©gΓ©?" Is it very good to be here in Wan Shoufu? β
Li Tixue paused, and then said simply: "It goes without saying that Elder Wan Ge has the grace of knowing this official. What do you mean by that? If you want to make friends, you don't have to! β
Who wants to make friends with Wan An, who will inevitably fall in more than ten years? Fang Yingwu scolded a few words in his heart, and then said: "The matter between the big figures in the DPRK and China is definitely not something that my generation can speculate.
And Shang Xianggong is a very understanding and generous elder, he refused to meet the great grandmaster, and did not praise the great grandmaster in public, just to avoid any embarrassment. β
Li Tixue nodded subconsciously, this is a good word. The big guys are fighting in the dark, and they should be careful with these pawns. If Shang Chen said good things about himself and reached the ears of Wan Shoufu, who knows what he would think?
Fang Yingwu turned his head, "Actually, I don't see it that way, and I have been persuading the business minister to be fair, these scruples are unnecessary." Since the great master is upright and powerful, he should be praised, could it be that because of the view of the portal, this world is not a good official? β
Fang Yingwu said a few words, and Li Tixue became more and more entangled, and it was indeed difficult to choose between fame and fortune!
Suddenly, he heard Fang Yingwu's words turn around, and said in an affirmative tone: "As for some concerns, there is no need, the Great Grandmaster himself explained to Wan Shoufu!" β
Li Shishi subconsciously asked, "How to explain?" β
This question is a bit revealing of the mind, and it is almost like saying "I also want to find the best of both worlds".
Fang Yingwu smiled, "This is the reason why Shang Xianggong entrusted me to talk to the Great Grandmaster, and I feel that I can't make the Great Grandmaster embarrassed." β
Li Tixue wanted to ask for advice, but he couldn't wipe his face and said to ask Fang Yingwu for advice, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "I don't know why Shang Xianggong taught me?" β
Fang Yingwu didn't care about mentioning that the scholar took the business minister as a faΓ§ade, which was not important. He said: "For the same thing, it may not matter how the facts are, but how to interpret it is the most important, just as the scriptures must read Zhu Zi's commentary.
The Great Grandmaster was strict in Chun'an, and there were some places where the elders were dissatisfied, but if the Shang Xianggong spoke out to support and praise it, the Great Grandmaster could write a letter to Wan Shoufu to annotate this, which would naturally dispel Wan Shoufu's doubts. β
After Fang Yingwu was tempted by fame and fortune, the conversation between the two reached this depth step by step, Li Tixue also put down the shelf, no longer treated Fang Yingwu as a child, and asked directly: "How to explain it?" β
Fang Yingwu said eloquently: "The Great Grandmaster can tell Wan Shoufu that you deliberately tested Shang Xianggong's reaction through this matter, and now that you have the results, you will report it.
Shang Xianggong can praise the great master, which explains the following points: First, Shang Xianggong will also regard himself as the prime minister in terms of mentality, otherwise he should try to avoid talking about government affairs more praise and criticism, which is the mentality of the prime minister.
Second, Shang Xianggong also cares about his official reputation, otherwise from the perspective of the selfish interests of the local gentry, he should oppose the actions of the great grandmaster that affect the interests of the gentry.
But Shang Xianggong still supports the great master, which shows that Shang Xianggong still regards himself as an official who pays attention to righteousness. did not have the mentality of befriending the gentry in his hometown and blindly safeguarding local interests.
All in all, the Grand Master can say to Wan Shoufu: After your investigation, Shang Xianggong still has the heart to recover! β
Listening to your words, it is better than reading for ten years, Li Tixue is like an enlightenment, and he has realized a lot at once. I have been an official for more than ten years, but I didn't expect to be allocated by a little boy.
Wan Shoufu is most concerned about what Shang Xianggong is thinking, as long as he claims to find out and gives a plausible explanation, where will Wan Shoufu have the heart to suspect himself who is thousands of miles away? On the contrary, they will value themselves more!
As long as you can fool Wan Shoufu over, everything is easy to say!
And you can also raise "Kou" self-respect, as long as there is a possibility of recovery on the side of the Minister of Commerce, Wan Shoufu will rely more on himself to find out the first-hand news. You can take the opportunity to increase the weight in Shousuke's mind and prepare for the next level.
It's a big deal that in a year or two, report it again, "Although Shang Xianggong has the intention of reviving, but under the strict defense of the Shoufu boss, he has already died", so Zuihou is very happy.
That's fame and fortune!
So the key now is, will the Commerce Minister's Guild publicly praise itself and create an opportunity for itself to flicker? Although Grand Master Li asked himself, he felt that he had indeed done a good job.
Fang Yingwu emphasized again: "I am here to be entrusted by the Prime Minister of Commerce!" β
Li Tixue also made up his mind when he heard this, and said: "This official has been in office for three years, and he will never live up to the expectations of the prime minister!" β
Does the three years also include the township test in the future? Fang Yingwu saluted and said, "I have also thanked the Great Grandmaster for myself!" β
Reaching an agreement, Fang Yingwu did not stay for long, and quietly slipped out of the corner door of the county school, and returned home to concentrate on preparing for the Dao test in two days.
At the same time, he wrote a letter to Shang Xianggong, explaining clearly how he did the "officialdom topic". Shang Xianggong replied without comment, but only wrote one line: "After the Taoist test, go to Tiju Academy." (To be continued.) )
PS: I have to go out for something, so the third is later, maybe it won't be until midnight, sorry!
