Chapter 299: Don't Make an Example!
Fang Yingwu has a very good advantage, that is, when encountering adversity (this word is doubtful), he is very open-minded and very good at regulating his psychology.
The Liu Mansion and the Fang family were both in Xicheng, and the distance was only about a quarter of an hour away, and on the way home, Fang Yingwu was already calm. He comforted himself and said that the person who entered the East Palace to hug the future emperor's thigh was replaced by his father, which might be a good thing.
Because he is too young, even if everything goes well this year and he can be admitted to the Jinshi and become a companion of the East Palace, then when the new emperor ascends the throne a few years later, he will only be in his twenties.
In the court, the twenties are too young, in the eyes of everyone, they can only be regarded as potential stocks, and they can't be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, even if the thighs are hugged well, can the court let people in their twenties and thirties enter the cabinet? When did the talent echelon in the Ming Dynasty be so scarce that it was necessary to let people in their twenties and thirties enter the cabinet?
One is not good, and he Yingwu has become Li Dongyang's second - this duke entered Hanlin at the age of eighteen, and was regarded as a potential stock by the people of the world, and then another eighteen years have passed, and now he is still a "potential stock", with the slightly embarrassing nickname of Li Eighteen
And his father Fang Qingzhi is different, he is the golden age of thirty-four, and he will be in his forties five years later. If there is a dragon skill to assist the East Palace, then you can indeed dream about the cabinet pit.
Fang Yingwu does not ask his father to compare with the lucky ones like Shang Xianggong, who entered the cabinet in his thirties and Xie Qian, who became a university scholar at the age of forty, but as long as he is slowly promoted step by step and normally, and it takes another ten years or more, the probability of entering the cabinet without making a mistake is still not small. When I joined the cabinet at the age of fifty, I was also very young. It's not too late to join the cabinet at the age of 60!
So Fang Yingwu carefully compared it in his heart. I really feel that my father's entry into the East Palace this year is greater than the benefits that he can get by entering the East Palace.
Father Conglong can mix up a cabinet pit candidacy, and he can probably only be promoted by one grade from Long. For example, seven products become six products and so on, which is more important and which is more important.
In other words, if the Fang family wanted to maximize the benefits of the Dragon Gong this time, they really needed their father to assist the East Palace, and it was a bit of a waste of place to go by themselves.
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu naturally thought about it, and his mind suddenly opened up. Thinking continues to diverge, and you should take a long-term view, even if you can't enter the East Palace this time. There will be another chance in that decade or two, provided that he can follow in his father's footsteps and blend into the ranks of the ministers.
How many times will there be such an opportunity to enter the East Palace, and whether the current East Palace can successfully take over the throne is unknown to ordinary people, and no one knows what the future will be, but he is very clear. In another decade or two, it will be time to find an assistant minister for the next crown prince, and this crown prince will be the famous Ming Wuzong Zhengde Tianzi in history.
At that time, I was in the right age, and I could think of things to operate. The father and son have been two generations of sons of heaven, which is also a good story. Seon is not blessed
Fang Qingzhi returned home from the yamen, and learned the news of his son's departure from the mouths of his subordinates, so he kept pacing in the courtyard. I was also a little uneasy.
He knew that his son had gone to Liu Ji, a cabinet scholar, but the key was that Fang Yingwu did not greet him, who was a father. ran to Liu's Mansion to negotiate without authorization, which is simply fatherless!
Fang Qingzhi was embarrassed every time he thought of this. I really can't control this son of my own! This son even went to talk about his marriage in person. Then what do you want to be a father for!
When Fang Yingwu entered the door, he saw his father who was circling in the courtyard, and hurriedly stepped forward and said cautiously: "Father, don't blame him!" Let's get the important stuff done first! And then it's not too late to blame! ”
Fang Qingyi thought that it made sense, it was still more important to have a marriage, so he snorted coldly and motioned for his son to speak.
After that, Fang Yingwu selectively informed his father of the content of his conversation with Liu Mian, but strictly adhered to the confidentiality guidelines, said what should be said, and did not say what should not be said. He is not very harmonious with his father's three views, and it is so difficult to speak, but it is good to get used to it.
Fang Qingzhi asked: "Three years ago, you really promised Liu Ge to recruit a son-in-law, but now you really can't regret it?" ”
Fang Ying nodded heavily, resolutely, and irretrievably. "Repentance not only becomes an untrustworthy person, but also may incur the hatred of that Liu Ji, making it more difficult for my family to gain a foothold in the DPRK."
Fang Qingzhi sighed: "Then how to talk to Brother Bin?" If there is another promise in advance, I think the brother of the guest can still understand. ”
Fang Yingwu didn't want to dwell on this issue, thinking that he had to take the initiative to give up the opportunity to be Li Dongyang's son-in-law, it was still quite painful, then Li Dongyang's historical status was much taller than Liu Mian's all-round status.
He diverted the topic again and said: "Listening to Liu Ge Lao's meaning, it seems that Bixia has the intention of using his father, and probably because of this, Liu Ge Lao is more anxious to marry our family." ”
Fang Yingwu would never dare to say to his father, Liu Ge Lao exchanged a position in the East Palace for your son and me. So putting the cart before the horse, first saying that the Son of Heaven wants to use his father, and then saying that the snobbish Liu Ge Lao came to rob his son-in-law, it sounds quite logical.
Fang Qingzhi was stunned, and said angrily: "Jun's kindness is deep, and he can only repay it with his strength." ”
Fang Yingwu pouted secretly, your old man Xie Junen might as well thank me I felt that there was nothing to say, so Fang Yingwu said goodbye to his father and went back to the room to study.
"Wait!" Fang Qingzhi took the initiative to stop his son.
Fang Yingwu shrank his head, and turned back helplessly, he had been fighting for a long time, but his father still remembered his sin of going to Liu's Mansion without authorization? But Fang Qingzhi's face was very strange, and he didn't say anything for a long time, which made Fang Yingwu wonder very much, what was his father thinking?
In the end, Fang Qingzhi couldn't stand his son's "big man, don't be such a mother-in-law", "You said that the emperor is a great father, is it the compilation of the book "Wenhua Great Training"? ”
Fang Yingwu was taken aback, how could he become a god today, and even his father was possessed by the clever Liu Mian? He was afraid that his father would see some flaws, so he didn't point it out in too much detail just now, but he didn't expect his father to guess so accurately.
Fang Qingzhi couldn't stand his son's surprised eyes again, "Father, you actually have this kind of wisdom", and couldn't help but explain: "Since the beginning of the new year, in addition to the ordinary scripture and history clerical affairs in the Cilin Fang Bureau, the "Wenhua Great Training" of the East Palace can be regarded as the most important errand. The Son of Heaven will not use people inexplicably, after all, he has to do things, and if he thinks about it for his father, it is probably the compilation of "Wenhua Daxun". ”
Fang Yingwu was very excited, his father finally had the thinking of a political figure! happily patted Fang Qingzhi on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Officialdom life is really training, watching my father improve little by little, I feel very gratified to be a son of man." ”
The son was rude to this point, and a certain father couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "You dare to be disrespectful!" At the same time, he raised his hand to fight, and a certain son ran away with his head in his arms.
"Come back!" Fang Qingzhi shouted again. Fang Yingwu didn't move his steps, stood far away and asked, "What else is going on with my father?" ”
Fang Qingzhi frowned and said, "You said that if the Son of Heaven really asked his father to compile the "Wenhua Great Training", is it related to the matter of the second assistant Liu Gong?" ”
What does this have to do with Liu Cifu? Fang Yingwu was inexplicable, feeling that he couldn't keep up with his father's train of thought, which was a very rare phenomenon. Could it be that overnight, my father grew to such an extent?
Fang Qingzhi: "The compilation of the "Wenhua Great Training" is the overall responsibility of the cabinet, and Liu Cifu is the president. Recently, there have been disturbances, and Liu Cifu obviously can't do it anymore."
Suddenly, Fang Yingwu was like five thunderbolts, squatting on the ground with his head in pain.
Liu Cifu is the president of "Wenhua Daxun", so what does Liu Mian do? However, after the joint efforts of their Fang family's father and son, it is obviously impossible for Liu Cifu, the president, to continue.
You must know that "Wenhua Daxun" is a textbook compiled by the Son of Heaven in order to teach the prince of the East Palace, so Liu Cifu now has no way to teach his son, and he is suspected of being evil, and he has made a mistake in morality, what qualifications and face do he have to be responsible for the editor-in-chief of the textbook? Do you want the Son of Heaven to learn from him to teach the prince?
So it is logical that Liu Mian must be replaced as the president, and the credit for the position of president is all affection in front of the prince.
In other words, in fact, in this matter, it was their Fang family's father and son who helped Liu Mian a lot, otherwise where would Liu Mian come from on the president's errand! But he didn't know! I don't know!
Otherwise, when bargaining with Liu Mian, he will have a huge bargaining chip, and he will not be so passive in front of Liu Mian today!
From the perspective of interest exchange, Liu Mian is too advantageous! It's just a matter of exchanging his East Palace future for his father's East Palace future, and he even used the favor of the Fang family to help him as his own bargaining chip!
Fiasco, outright fiasco, how many serial pits does Liu Mian have today?
This is not just a change of tanuki for the prince, but also an empty glove white wolf borrowing chickens to lay eggs! is like this to his own half-son-in-law, Liu Mian still has no humanity!
Fang Yingwu was so angry that he jumped to his feet, lamenting again and again in his heart, and kept vowing how far away he would be from Liu Mian in the future, and how far he would be from Liu Mian in the future, and he would not see it if he could. For the first time since the crossing, he was beaten to the point that he had no confidence, and after finding such a father-in-law, he would not be able to live in the future
Knowing his son, Fang Qingzhi saw his son's bitter expression, although he didn't know what was going on, he still felt it faintly.
He took the initiative to ask: "After listening to my father's profound analysis, do you feel that you have suffered a loss when you go to Liu's Mansion this time?" Fang Yingwu nodded bitterly.
Fang Qingzhi said with a serious education: "Don't listen to the old man, suffer in front of you, you have to ask your father for more things in the future, don't be the master of the house casually, especially in marriage." Not an example! (To be continued......)
