The banquet was opened, and the atmosphere gradually heated up. Maybe it was because Fang Yingwu told the story well just now, Shang Xianggong completely relaxed his mood, his attitude was very easy-going, he drank three glasses of wine with everyone at the banquet, and said a few words of encouragement to everyone.

After serving a few big dishes and drinking three rounds, they began to talk about each other.

Zhu Zhifu put down his chopsticks, sighed first, and said to the business minister who was very worried about the country and the people: "The old man of the pavilion has returned to his hometown, and there is one less pillar in the court, and now the right road is difficult, and there are many reasons in the court, and the traitors are gathered on the side of bixia. Every time I think about this, I toss and turn, and sighs day and night. ”

Although Fang Yingwu lowered his head and nibbled on the mutton in the bowl, his ears were pricked up to listen to the chairman's movements. Zhu Zhifu's words were word-for-word, and they all fell into his ears.

In fact, what Zhu Zhifu said has some truth, and the current imperial court is indeed not authentic. Fang Yingwu knows very well that Zhu Jianshen is an otaku who lacks a sense of responsibility, pays more attention to his own eating, drinking and having fun, and treats the government as a chore.

Since the death of the former first assistant Li Xian and Peng Shi, the atmosphere in the temple has been declining, and there are more and more disasters around the Son of Heaven.

But now that even the prime minister has returned home, who else in the DPRK and China can support the righteous situation? Moreover, Fang Yingwu also knew that since Shang Xianggong left the imperial court, the imperial court has gradually entered the era of papier-mâché three pavilions and clay sculptures of six books.

Listen to these nicknames to know what the situation of the imperial court is, that is, the Son of Heaven connived at treachery and evil rampant, and the ministers of Zaifu did nothing.

But Fang Yingwu knew better that the dark era of clowns was more than ten years of kung fu, and ten years later, the Ming Dynasty entered the good era of Hongzhi Zhongxing.

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu turned around, bowed slightly, and said to Shang Xianggong and Zhu Zhifu in a serious manner: "Fuzun's words are true, but there is also a bit of shallowness below, and he dares to offer ugliness here."

Today, the hearts of the people are still there, and righteousness still exists, but the Son of Heaven has been deceived, and those clowns who jump off the beam take the opportunity to cling to the Son of Heaven for evil.

There is no strong support in them, and there is no foundation outside, just like duckweed on the water. Once the sky changes, it will be like a plough to sweep the holes, and it is not difficult to sweep away the other generation, what a way!

Therefore, these are just scabies, and they are not worth worrying too much about. ”

Shang Xianggong was noncommittal, but asked rhetorically: "I often hear people say that there is no foundation inside and no strong support outside, but what is the reason for you to say it in the opposite way?" ”

Fang Yingwu replied: "I'm afraid that those eunuchs in the palace won't want to see them, which means that there is no strong reinforcement inside; They are not popular in the world, and people with lofty ideals are all spurned, which is that there is no foundation outside.

What they rely on is nothing more than the favor of the Son of Heaven, but this favor is only a pavilion on the sand, since ancient times, how can grace last forever! All in all, it is an exaggeration to say that they are the hearts and minds of the country! ”

Fang Yingwu's words are not wrong, at this time, the people in the palace who are the ceremonial supervisors in Dongchang are still very backbone, and even more backbone than many ministers. For example, the celebrant supervisor Yin Huai'en and the commander of the East Factory Chen Zhun are quite upright, and they don't want to see the favored traitors around the Son of Heaven.

Shang Xianggong sighed: "Although you are young, it is not easy for you to have this insight, but you see things in the world too simply, or the reason why you have too little experience." ”

"Yes, thank you for the teachings." Fang Yingwu said modestly. It doesn't matter if the opinion is right or wrong, the important thing is to attract attention, and a few words are enough.

Governor Zhu felt that the limelight was robbed, and couldn't help but ask the other party rhetorically: "Could it be that you sit back and watch the traitors do something, and my generation will do nothing?" ”

Fang Yingwu replied respectfully: "How can you be helpless? I have heard that there is a statue of Ming Jun in the East Palace, and the most important thing in the court at present is to protect the East Palace! And then wait for the traitor to bring about his own destruction! ”

Shang Shi couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, these people in the local area are high and far away, and they like to talk about this kind of palace affairs, but they are all human nature. Immediately shouted lightly: "The matter of the temple and the palace, there are a lot of internal affairs, so you should be cautious!" ”

However, the other party looked at it a little differently. Although his arguments are still a bit naïve and simplistic, he has a rare and commendable clarity of thinking, and it is not easy to think of this level at a young age!

Even if he himself is known as a prodigy, when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he only knew how to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and he was absolutely incapable of talking about temples with the ministers of the imperial court.

Fang Yingwu was also secretly observing, and was relieved to see that Shang Ge Lao didn't say anything special.

In fact, his rash opening of his mouth is also gambling, and selling too much may cause disgust from businessmen. It's just that there are no serious consequences if you lose the bet, it's just a big deal not to hug this thigh, but that's a pity after all. Now it seems that Shang Xianggong is indeed a person who has a lot of tools and does not count small details.

The banquet continued, and I heard the prefect of Zhu and the prime minister of Shang discuss: "From the palace report, it can be seen that the imperial court has pacified the affairs of the Jingxiang exiles, and set up Yunyang Mansion on the spot to appease and govern it, so that the imperial court will go to a big disaster." It is very congratulatory and can be regarded as the greatest joy of the court this year. ”

At the junction of Sichuan, Huguang, Shaanxi, and Henan, the former vast and sparsely populated areas and bankrupt peasants who could not survive elsewhere often fled here with their families and mouths to reclaim their land, and the number of them was almost hundreds of thousands. These people do not belong to the government or are not registered, and the turmoil is very great, forming a serious problem of Jingxiang displaced people.

For more than 10 years before the Chenghua Dynasty, it was always fighting against the problem of displaced people, and the policy was uncertain, and it was not until this year that the matter was completely settled. The Yunyang Mansion was newly established at the original site, and all the displaced people were granted land and households on the spot, and included in the management of the government, and were no longer forcibly repatriated to their hometowns, and the governor of Yunyang was appointed to govern Jingxiang.

Now the problem is basically solved, and it is no longer a party to the problem, so Governor Zhu said that this is a great joy.

Shang Shi nodded and said, "Yes."

He was about to comment a few words, but out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Fang Yingwu next to him shaking his head. Feeling amused in his heart, he closed his mouth and asked deliberately; "Fang Yingwu! What do you think? ”

Fang Yingwu wanted to keep a low profile for a while, but he was named, so he had to say helplessly: "Jingxiang is calm, although I am very happy, but I can't help but think about it, the small people who couldn't live in the past can still escape to Jingxiang and reclaim the wilderness to get a few mouthfuls of food, which can be regarded as a land of peace."

But now it has become Yunyang Mansion, and the displaced people have all organized their households on the spot and occupied the fields. So from now on, if there are displaced people in other places, where should they be a happy land? ”

Zhu Zhifu arched his hand in the air and said: "My generation has received the emperor's favor, and we should be diligent in the king's affairs, love the people and govern well, and put an end to the displaced people." ”

Fang Yingwu said to Zhu Zhifu: "The government is commendable for his benevolence and outstanding political achievements, and he is deeply admired in the lower ranks. However, the gentry did not pay for food, and the service was uneven, and it was by no means possible for manpower to save it. If there is a natural disaster that spans several provinces, how can the people live on their own? At that time, there will still be displaced people, but there is no place like Jingxiang Yunyang Mansion that can accommodate it! ”

Shang Xiang said publicly: "Meng Shengyun was born in sorrow and died in peace. There are also words in history books that sorrow can rejuvenate the country, and Yiyu can die. Fang Yingwu is not weak in his age, so he can have such a heart for the community and the old man to seek the country, which is commendable. ”

Fang Yingwu said: "Thank you for the old man's encouragement, I dare not be ashamed." ”

Governor Zhu looked sideways again for a long time and felt that it was really a mistake for him to call Fang Yingwu to make up the number. It's better to call an official from the yazhong to accompany you, and it's better to sit here and stir up the situation!

This person is too noisy! Whatever he says about a topic, he can talk at length, and he is the truth, whether it is right or wrong, just from the mouth of a young man of his age of fifteen or sixteen, it is enough to make people look amazing.

Where did he learn those things at his age? I heard that their family is just an ordinary farmer, is there really a high-ranking hermit in the mountains to guide him?

As for the other scholars and seniors during the banquet, they also found themselves as pure spectators, and the little boy who was silent along the way turned out to be a big dark horse in the dark. Talking about poetry is the most brilliant, talking about current politics or he is the most brilliant, stealing the limelight in front of the business minister, and there is nothing left for others.

As everyone knows, Fang Yingwu is still very restrained himself. He had a stomach full of things, but he also knew that he didn't need them at all and couldn't pour them all out, so he could only try to say it at a lower level. The master pretends to be low-handed, which is even harder!

But he said that Fang Yingwu also discovered Zhu Zhifu's unkind eyes, he had seen through Zhu Zhifu's mind before he came, and of course he understood the consequences of his dominance at this time.

Although he is not very worried, first, the prefect is not an official close to the people, and there is a prefect in the middle; Second, it is almost time for the Zhu Governor's Mansion to leave after the New Year, and the local officials of the national dynasty will not be re-elected for more than nine years except for the emperor's special decree. But it is better to offend less or to offend less

Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu took the initiative to toast the old man of Shangge with a glass of wine, and the old man drank it all for face. Fang Yingwu took the opportunity to ask: "Elder Ge returned to Chun'an from the Yanzhou Mansion this time, do you still want to take a boat?" ”

The merchant asked rhetorically, "What if you don't take the boat?" ”

Fang Yingwu hurriedly replied: "Zhu Mansion is not good at rhetoric, but he is dedicated to practice, and he has a lot of political voices in Yanzhou Mansion, and he has a few virtues.

First, the embankment outside the south gate of the city was built to protect the people of the city from flooding; The second is to build several mountain roads in various counties, and the military and civilians in all counties are grateful to Dade. It is not easy to do these in nine years, if the pavilion is old, you might as well abandon the boat and go ashore, return to Chun'an by land to feel it, and experience the scenery in the mountains along the way. ”

These are all the achievements of Governor Zhu's mansion, and when he heard this, he was open-minded, and said proudly and humbly: "It's a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning." It's just that it's too tiring to walk on the mountain road, and it's better to take the water road. ”

At this time, Lord Fuzun couldn't get angry with Fang Yingwu, and he suddenly felt that Fang Yingwu was not like a young man who had nothing to do, but more like an old fritter who didn't keep his hands.

He thought to himself that he was also a person with a few brushes, but today, when he was caught off guard, he was almost completely suppressed by Fang Yingwu. His curiosity couldn't help but get stronger, what kind of master could cultivate such a genius?

Shang Xianggong also thought of this question, and asked directly: "Who are you teachers and teachers?" ”

There are two kinds of teachers for a successful reader, one is the teacher and the other is the teacher. The teacher is the one who teaches you your homework, and the teacher is the one who gives you fame. There are two types of teachers, the teacher teaches you the basics of literacy, and the teacher teaches you the scriptures and composition.

Fang Yingwu replied: "Master Meng is Mr. Wang of Social Studies in this village, but there is no teacher so far. ”

Shang Xianggong let out an "oh" and didn't say anything more.
