Chapter 103: The State of the World and Human Affection (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
Seeing the document he signed, Lou Tianhua beat his chest. Or I can't open the pot recently, which leads to being too eager to solicit business, and I ended up in the other party's trap!
I said that I didn't take a penny until the thing was done, so on the other hand, if the thing couldn't be done, wouldn't I have to work as a free errand boy all the time?
Originally, with his rich experience, he judged from the shape of the little brother in front of him and his sad temperament that this person must have been sued by someone in the family, so he rushed to the capital to pass the joint.
He believes in his own vision very much, so he dares to take it all. You must know that he does have some connections in the Criminal Department, as long as the victim is willing to spend money, even the condemned prisoner can think of delaying it for a few years, and if he is lucky, he can meet amnesty.
The other party really ate the lawsuit and squashed in prison, but he ate the emperor's lawsuit and squatted in the Jinyi Guard's prison, which he didn't expect.
This is obviously beyond his ability Ah can fish out the person who was personally sent by the emperor from the Jinyi Guard's edict, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with his hands and eyes, and he still needs to stay in the guild hall to eat a full meal.
"Fang Gongzi is slow!" Lou Tianhua was anxious, and called out to Fang Yingwu, "Your Excellency is inevitably a little unkind, you don't explain the situation in advance, and you are deceived in signing this document." ”
Fang Yingwu mocked: "It turns out that people like you, can you regret it after signing the paperwork?" ”
Lou Tianhua felt that his profession was insulted, and said angrily: "We are naturally people who believe in our words, but we can't do it, what can we do?" Are you bound to deceive you and deceive you? ”
Fang Yingwu waited for this sentence, "That's good." Please just inquire about the news of the edict for me, this is always okay? So the two are clear. "Of course. If he ran away, there was nothing Fang Yingwu could do.
But he said that he had settled down. Fang Yingwu went to the front hall to talk to Shopkeeper Huang and inquire about the news.
He originally hoped that the military department Shangshu and Zuodu Yushi sent by the Shang Minister were two favors, but unexpectedly, the political situation changed, and these channels were all invalidated, so he had to find a way to find another way.
For example, we can think of ways to deal with high-ranking officials from Zhejiang. In these years, we attach importance to the friendship of the villagers, and the villagers are a ready-made relationship, and even if they don't know each other, they can ask for help when necessary.
Of course, if you have money. It's okay to use silver to pave roads, but Fang Yingwu is not rich around him, so how can he have this money to operate, so he can only find a way to take advantage of people.
Fang Yingwu is very clear about the general trend of history, and he also knows the deeds of celebrities, and when it comes to the details and specific circumstances at a certain time, he is not omniscient, so he still needs to find someone to inquire.
Huang has been in Beijing for many years. Have an understanding of the parties. Hearing Fang Yingwu ask about this, he groaned slightly and replied: "When Shang Xianggong and Yao Shangshu were in the court, our Zhejiang speech was very heavy. It's really not as good as it used to be. ”
Shang Xianggong is a businessman, and Yao Shangshu refers to Yao Kui, a native of Yanzhou Mansion in the early years of Chenghua. But it's all in the past.
Fang Yingwu asked again: "Can anyone be called the leader of Zhejiang Province now?" ”
"The Elder Zou of the Ministry of Rites is a native of Qiantang, Zhejiang, and he is such a Zhejiang person in the current Zai Fu Shangshu. But he was old and sick, and he didn't care much about the world. The shopkeeper Huang also introduced: "In addition, it is famous. That's Xie Zhuangyuan. ”
The big boss Zou in the mouth of the shopkeeper Huang refers to the current Shangshu Zou Gan of the Ministry of Rites, but he is not very famous in history, and Fang Yingwu does not know much about it.
And the other Xie champion mentioned by the shopkeeper Huang is Xie Qian, the champion of the Yiyouke branch in the eleventh year of Chenghua, a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang, who will enter the cabinet as a university scholar in the future. This is a famous minister, and during the Zhengde period, he was known as the three sages in the world with Li Dongyang and Liu Jian, and of course Fang Yingwu knew.
As for the other fellow villagers, Fang Yingwu knew a few, and he still had a few letters in his pocket, such as the letter written by his friend Hong Song to his uncle Hong Tingchen, and the letter written by Shang Xianggong to his son Shang Liangchen.
Although these people are closer, it is a pity that they are all middle and low-level, and their right to speak is limited, so they are not of much use.
After calculating, Fang Yingwu decided to visit Zou Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites first, and Hong Tingchen and Shang Liangchen let it go first. At this time, it is not the time to find someone close to you first, you must find the most useful person as soon as possible, and save your father as soon as possible, so that you will suffer less guilt.
After a peaceful night's sleep, Fang Yingwu had breakfast in the hall the next day, and then went out to look west.
The mansion of a big man like Zou Shangshu, the shopkeeper Huang still knows. Fang Yingwu knew the approximate location from the shopkeeper Huang, bypassed the imperial city from outside the Daming Gate, and came to the west city from the east city. I inquired all the way, and finally found the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites in the early afternoon.
Fang Yingwu thought that if Zou Shangshu was at home, then he would ask to see him; If Zou Shangshu is not at home, then leave a message or go directly to the Ministry of Rites to visit according to the situation.
At the gate, Fang Yingwu reported his history to the door official and handed over a red envelope. The doorman weighed the weight of Fang Yingwu, and then passed the word in.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, something came out, "My master is sick, and I haven't seen any foreign guests recently, so friend Fang still asks to go back." ”
This was simply rejected neatly? Fang Yingwu stood under the porch for a moment, although he had some expectations before, but the rejection was both reasonable and expected
The other party is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who ranks in the seventh qing, and he is just a showman, and he has no contact. This kind of temporary invitation to see, willing to see is a favor, and unwilling to see is also normal.
Although the reason made sense and he was mentally prepared to be rejected, Fang Yingwu still felt inexplicably unhappy. This is a special time that needs to save lives, how can it be determined by the rules of interaction under normal circumstances?
Zou Shangshu will not fail to see the intention of other parties, and he can not meet him or reject him. But he is also from Zhejiang Province, and he didn't even have a word of tactfulness or comfort, so he almost made it clear that "the old man will definitely not care about your father, you will die", this indifferent and blunt attitude really made Fang Yingwu's teeth cold.
Therefore, how to reject others is also a science, and if you refuse badly, it is easy to offend people. Zou Shangshu's refusal this time was too ruthless, without a trace of warmth, which made the parties uncomfortable.
Fang Yingwu learned from the mouth of the shopkeeper Huang that this Zou Shangshu's official reputation is still quite good, but it is different from actual life.
Official character is not equal to character, Zou Shangshu must be hiding from things, and he can't count on it at all. Fang Yingwu couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, he deserved to be one of the "three old papier-mâché and six clay sculptures"!
In fact, Zou Shangshu was also hit by an arrow while lying down, and the saying that the six Shangshu of clay sculpture in history came out a few years later, when the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was Zhou Hongmo, and at that time Zou Shangshu had already gone home.
Since he couldn't see Zou Shangshu, Fang Yingwu went to find a second target, that is, Xie Qian Xie Zhuangyuan. Although this person's official position is not large, his status is noble and his prestige is also high, so it is still worth visiting. What's more, his father is a Jishi in the Hanlin Academy, and he is in the same province as Xie Qian, so maybe there will be some friendship.
Shopkeeper Huang knew that Zou Shangshu and other high-ranking officials lived, but he didn't know where Xie Qian lived, so Fang Yingwu went directly to the Hanlin Academy to visit.
Located in the southeast of the Imperial City, Hanlin Temple covers an area that is not small.
Standing outside the gate of the Hanlin Academy, even with Fang Yingwu's heart, looking at the so-called "Qingjin" on his body, he felt a little small.
This is a very simple gate, but inside the door is Shilin Huaxuan, outside the door is ordinary people, two completely different shijie.
If Xiucai is compared to a high school graduate in his previous life, then Hanlin Academy is equivalent to a doctorate, and it is a doctor who can be transformed into Jaesuke at any time.
In the Ming system, the Hanlin Yuan was regarded as the cabinet of the outer court, and the cabinet was regarded as the office of the Hanlin Yuan in the palace.
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but think, his father was on the emperor's list at the beginning of the year, and he was selected to study in the Hanlin Academy.
In other yamen, there are many people who come and go, and outsiders can enter the gate and go straight to the front hall. But the Hanlin Courtyard was a little different, and no idlers were allowed to wait to enter the gate, so Fang Yingwu was stopped by the door.
Hanlin Academy is different everywhere, even Menzi is more bullish than others. But he said that this man looked at Fang Yingwu proudly a few times, and quickly made a judgment, "Or, you take out the letter, and I can send it in for you; Or, you just wait outside and wait for the person you're looking for to come out. ”
Fang Yingwu and Xie Qiansu don't know each other, so it's too late to write any letters. However, he had an idea, and remembered that Shang Liangchen, the son of Shang Xianggong, was also in the Hanlin Courtyard, so he took out the letter from his arms, "This is a letter from Shang Bianxiu, please send it to him." ”
Although Shang Liangchen is also Hanlin, he is too low-key, his reputation is a little worse, and he is the son of the former Shoufu, so his identity is slightly sensitive. Therefore, Fang Yingwu was very considerate and did not expect him to help him, but still put his hope on Xie Qian, who had a better reputation.
However, you can first connect with the inside through Shang Liangchen, and then think about other things, Fang Yingwu thought so.
It didn't take long for Menzi to come out and reply: "Mr. Shang has gone to the palace to serve on duty, and he is not in the Hanlin Department, and I ask you to take back the letter." ”
Fang Yingwu was very disappointed when he heard this, and sighed, everything is really not harmonious today, and it was too unsmooth to come out to visit.
He was in no mood to continue waiting outside the gate of the Hanlin Academy, who knew when Xie Qian would come out? Even if it comes out, I don't know it, but it seems presumptuous.
After running around for a day and finding nothing, Fang Yingwu personally felt how difficult it is to do things in the capital where he is not familiar with life.
returned to the hall, but found that Lou Tianhua, who had been played by himself yesterday, was waiting outside the room.
Fang Yingwu was quite surprised by this, and quipped: "I thought you Yellow Crane was gone, but I didn't expect it to come back!" Disrespectful, disrespectful! ”
Lou Tianhua didn't have a good breath and said, "It's not just Fang Gongzi who is a scholar, you have also read books for a few years, how can you not believe in your words!" I ran for a day today and inquired about some news of Lingzun. ”
Compared with the cold reception he received during the day, Fang Yingwu had a slight feeling of "slaughtering dogs more in righteousness". He immediately arched his hand, "Thank you, I would like to hear about it." ”
Lou Tianhua was silent, touched his stomach and said: "In the next day, the grain of rice has not entered" (to be continued.) )
