"Shut the door and blow these people away!"

Fang Chongyong said to Ah Duan and Fang Laique with a dark face.

Fang Laique wanted to say something, but saw that Ah Duan had already stepped forward to drive away the crowd who came to visit. Many ox carts were stuck in the middle of the road in the workshop and could not turn around, just like the chaos of Fang Chongyong's traffic jam on the road in his previous life.

"Hehe, you look like you're about to move!"

Fang Chongyong snorted coldly, seeing this scene of inflammation and attachment, his heart was full of greasy. At the same time, he also felt very confused.

That scumbag dad of mine was the envoy of the Youzhou Festival? What about An Lushan?

Fang Chongyong always felt as if something was wrong, and he couldn't say it.

After becoming a big official, there will be waves of people who want to do things, and the door will be like a market. Fang Youde suddenly ascended to the throne and became the envoy of Youzhou Festival, and his reputation rose, so naturally there was no shortage of people to please him.

Now this wave is just a clumsy temptation.

This kind of gift cannot be accepted. Everyone is not very familiar with each other, you give gifts, so do you want to "exchange gifts"?

Accepting gifts from strangers casually is the way to death no matter what era it is!

Back in the courtyard, Fang Chongyong saw Xu Yuan and Zhang Xun reading under the peach tree. Recently, Qiuyu's Jinshi list has also come out, and sure enough, as Li Longji said, Xu Yuan, Zhang Xun, and Li Kui all fell off the list, and there was no accident at all.

"Xiao Langjun, the sage has recently disbanded the Ten Thousand Cavalry and is going to set up a new forbidden army, called the Dragon Martial Army, which is now openly recruiting warriors. The two of us want to serve in the Longwu Army, but I don't know...... Is there a way for Eun Gong?

If it is difficult to do, it is also a good way out for the two of us to go north to Youzhou to join Engong, which is better than wasting time here. ”

Zhang Xun put down the book, looked at Fang Chongyong with a sincere face and asked.

The failure of the imperial examination this time dealt a big blow to him and Xu Yuan.

This is the top magnate directly swept them away, and that desperate force almost wiped out the faith of the two.

What imperial examinations, what justice, are all fake, only the ruthlessness and domineering of power are true!

"Long Wujun is not interesting, even if you can get in and become an official, what you will encounter in the future will probably not be any different from what happened in the imperial examination.

But your going north to Youzhou is a way out. My father should take care of you, and it would be a shortcut to make the shogunate an official in Setsudo. ”

Fang Chongyong couldn't help but sigh and said.

Many things are obvious, Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan, who were swept down by the emperor once in the imperial examination, will definitely receive alternative "preferential treatment" from the examiner if they take the exam again next year.

These two people have been targeted by the emperor once before, and if they are admitted now, will it be considered a slap in the face of Li Longji?

This kind of thing will not be explained by any examiner, anyway, if the two do not exist, it will be over without looking at their papers when they are admitted. The selection of judges for the imperial examination itself is a very subjective act.

If you say you can do it, you can do it, and if you don't do it, you can do it.

If you say no, you can't, and you can't!

Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan are both smart people, and they probably have figured out that the road to the imperial examination has been cut off.

However, since Fang Youde has already become the envoy of Youzhou Festival, and he has an old relationship with them, if he doesn't seek refuge for himself at this time, will he wait until Fang Youde is demoted in the future?

The answer is obvious.

"The two of us left Chang'an for Youzhou today, thank you Xiao Langjun for taking care of you during this time."

Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan stood up and bowed deeply to Fang Chongyong. has been living in Fang Youde's house, and they also feel embarrassed, and they don't even want to stay longer for a moment.

"There is no feast in the world, and you two should take care of yourself, so I'll send you out of the city."

These two honest people, when they come to the hands of the scumbag, there should be a better way out.

Fang Chongyong thought to himself.

When the two of them were sent out of the city and back, it was almost curfew time. Fang Chongyong dragged his tired body back home, and saw Gao Lishi, who was wearing a light yellow palace uniform, standing meticulously in the lobby, surrounded by Fang Dafu, who was carefully serving.

"Sins and sins, how dare you let the elders wait."

As soon as he saw Gao Lishi, Fang Chongyong folded his hands and saluted. Although it only takes less than five minutes for Gao Lishi to get here from Xingqing Palace, but now the other party is waiting here, which means that things are not simple.

After the two came to the study and sat down, Gao Lishi handed over a yellow silk book to Fang Chongyong.

"Thanks to your father's grace, the court granted you the position of Xuanyilang, and you are not grateful?"

"Thank you for the grace of the saints. This Xuanyi Lang...... What does it do? ”

Fang Chongyong asked suspiciously.

His super layman's question directly confused Gao Lishi.

Xuanyilang is a loose official under the seventh grade, if you really want to ask what this official does, then you can only say...... Nothing can be done!

What can you do as a half-grown child?

Isn't it obvious what you can do to show the favor of the court?

"I was awarded an official position at the age of nine, and there are probably few people except the prince, why do you still ask what is the use of this official position?"

Colliers scolded angrily.

"Uh-oh."

Fang Chongyong responded with a peaceful expression, revealing a disapproving expression.

False titles and loose officials, dogs are not uncommon!

Fang Chongyong despised Li Longji in his heart, and he was stingy to the extreme.

"There's one more thing for today."

Gao Lishi suddenly put away the smile on his face and said.

"Elder, please speak."

Fang Chongyong also put away the broken thoughts in his heart, and said with a crossed hand salute.

"That's right, the saint is worried that your father will not be able to teach you to go to school in Youzhou all the year round. Therefore, you are allowed to enter Hongbunkan to study!

There are only 30 places in Hongwenkan, and they are already full. Therefore, the saint ordered one of them to be forced to drop out of school to make room for you to study. ”

Well?

Hearing this, Fang Chongyong was stunned, feeling that this operation was a bit unusual!

"Hongwen Pavilion only recruits thirty students?"

Fang Chongyong couldn't help but ask, shocked by this kind of top-level elite education.

You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, there were more than 30 Jinshi admitted to the imperial examination in many cases, with an average of 27 people a year!

This Hongwen Pavilion only recruits 30 people a year, which is really not something that can be summed up by the word awesome.

"It's not that Hongwenkan recruits thirty people a year, but Hongwenkan only has thirty students!"

Gao Lishi couldn't help but correct Fang Chongyong's strange cognition.

"Only thirty? Isn't that just a few gentlemen who teach? Isn't this similar to a private school? ”

Fang Chongyong asked in disbelief, some private schools run by big families have more than thirty students. Not to mention the Guozijian, which was a huge scale with more than 2,000 students at the same time.

There are so few students in Hongwenkan, and the way the court plays is a little unclear.

"This is what you don't understand, there are more than 100 university scholars, bachelors, and direct bachelors in Hongwen Hall! The saint cares so much about your family, and you are still questioning it here, it's just stupid! ”

Gao Lishi was so brave that he wanted to scold his mother.

Why are there so many teachers in Hongbunkan? Because teaching students is only an incidental function of it, the main business of Hongwenkan is "for the national reserve"!

In the fourth year of Tang Wude, Li Yuan ordered the Xiuwen Pavilion to be placed in Menxia Province. In the ninth year, Taizong ascended the throne, changed its name to Hongwenguan, and gathered more than 200,000 volumes.

Among them, he is a bachelor, in charge of correcting the books, and teaching students; When there is a system in the court, and the etiquette is important, it has to be discussed with the senator. Set up the school book, take charge of the school classics, and correct the errors.

and set up a hall owner, consul general; There are 30 students, all of whom are children of royal family nobles and high-ranking Beijing officials, and they are taught calligraphy in scripture and history.

All in all, it's a great place, and the teachers are more than the students. Although the function of participating in and discussing politics has been weakened, the function of collecting books has been strengthened.

Gao Lishi explained the rules of Hongwen Hall to Fang Chongyong.

"Can I go to school at the age of nine?"

Fang Chongyong couldn't help but ask, he was afraid that it would be the same as the last time he went to school in Guozijian.

"Because there are many children who are eager to become a professional, the requirements for the entrance age of Hongbunkan are not so strict."

Colliers laughed.

This is actually very understandable, many children of high-ranking officials do not participate in the imperial examination, and after coming out of the Hongwen Pavilion, they can be elected as officials, even if they participate in the imperial examination, they will also open a special subject, simplify the difficulty, and open the back door!

People who don't have the ability can come out of here and be officials casually.

Therefore, it is no secret that children enter school early.

"It's okay, I'll go to the Hongwen Museum tomorrow to report and go with the admission certificate."

Colliers took out an envelope from his cuff and said a little tiredly, his tall figure looked a little rickety.

"Are you tired?"

Fang Chongyong asked with concern.

"It's a little bit, it's just that you don't understand these things."

Colliers sighed, he had been thinking about something recently, but it was very difficult to do.

"If the elder doesn't say it, how can I know that I, a yellow-mouthed child, don't understand?"

Fang Chongyong looked around and asked, finding that Fang Dafu and the others had already retreated, and the door had already been closed.

He had the heart to ask Colliers to help him do a "little thing", and this time the opportunity came.

If you miss the opportunity, it will not be easy to do later.

"That's right."

Gao Lishi leaned over to Fang Chongyong's side, lowered his voice and said: "Recently, I heard a story, this story, halfway through the story, I don't know what will happen later, because the person who told the story has passed away."

How to say this story, it is told in my hometown, well, in Lingnan, a wild land, there is a large family with a group of wives and concubines......"

"And then?" Fang Chongyong asked curiously.

"And then the head of the house is very good to his personal servant. So this servant wants to repay him, do you understand this? ”

Fang Chongyong pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "No wonder the sons of my family are loyal and know how to repay people." ”

"yes, yes, that's it."

Gao Lishi nodded disappreciatively and continued: "Then one day, the personal servant found that the head of the house was not thinking about tea and dinner, and he was very gloomy. He asked many times, but the head of the house did not say, but only shook his head and sighed, so the servant felt very strange.

Until one day, the master of the house took his servant to the house of his son, who was born to one of his concubines. The daughter-in-law of the head of the family played the harp at the banquet. When the head of the house came back that day, he was very happy to be seen by the servant. ”

"And then?"

Fang Chongyong asked with a confused face, which made Gao Lishi's heart angry.

He hinted so obviously, how could this kid still pretend to be stupid!

Then the servant wondered, could it be that the head of the family wanted to hear his daughter-in-law play the piano and was afraid of being criticized.

The servant did not dare to confirm it, nor did he dare to find out, after all, this matter was unreasonable.

So the servant invited many beautiful women who could play the piano to the house and play the music played by his daughter-in-law that day to the head of the house, but the head of the house did not show any half-parted appearance.

This servant has already understood that the head of the family just wants to listen to his daughter-in-law play the piano, and he can't change it to someone else.

The servant wants to do something for the head of the house, but he is afraid that the head of the house will blame him, so how will the servant deal with this matter? I was curious when the story broke off before I could finish it. ”

Colliers said quietly.

If he hadn't really had a choice, he would never have asked a half-grown child, even if the child was extremely intelligent.

"Is the head of the family just to listen to his daughter-in-law play the piano?"

Fang Chongyong asked rhetorically.

Gao Lishi raised his eyebrows, a weird smile appeared on his face, and then nodded slightly: "That's natural." ”

"After the daughter-in-law becomes a Taoist priest, she will naturally no longer be a daughter-in-law, and playing the piano for the head of the family will not cause criticism, right?"

Fang Chongyong said thoughtfully.

"Besides, it was the daughter-in-law who took the initiative to become a monk, and it has nothing to do with the head of the family or the servant, right?"

Hearing this, Gao Lishi understood, nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't." After the daughter-in-law left home, the head of the family saw that the concubine was lonely and miserable, and arranged a family affair for him, wouldn't everyone be happy. It turns out that this story turned out to be like this, alas, I finally don't have to think about it anymore, very good, very good. ”

Gao Lishi nodded with satisfaction, he believed that Fang Chongyong understood what he wanted to say. Moreover, he also believes that this matter will not be known by a third person, including Li Longji.

"You're going to enter the Hongwen Pavilion tomorrow, and you're not familiar with the people there, do you need me to go over and let me know?"

Colliers couldn't help but hint explicitly.

"Well, things over there, shouldn't be a big problem. But the kid has something important to do, and he wants the elders to help. ”

Fang Chongyong nodded embarrassedly, took out a letter from under the paperweight on the table, handed it to Gao Lishi and said, "General Wang Zhongsi's wife, Li, wants to write a letter to the sage, but there is no way. I had no choice but to ask the elders for help and give the letter to the saint for a look. ”

Hearing this, Colliers asked alarmedly, "What is written in the letter?" ”

"Just the words of some women.

General Wang has been out of town for a long time, and the Li family has a hard time taking care of the children at home, but I just hope that the sage can arrange General Wang near Chang'an, and from time to time he can go home to rest, which is human nature. ”

Fang Chongyong bowed deeply to Gao Lishi and said earnestly.

Li Longji actually planned to transfer Wang Zhonghei out of Dongyang Mansion, but he hadn't decided where he would go. Li Linfu said that he would go to Jiannan, and Du hoped to write that he would go to Hexi, but in fact, Li Longji was also hesitating in his heart.

He even moved his mind to let Wang Zhongsi enter the Longwu Army to serve. Colliers knows a lot about this.

"Alas, it's hard for this woman."

Gao Lishi put the letter away, nodded slightly, and did not say that he agreed to hand it over to Li Longji, nor did he say that he did not agree.

The things that should be done have been done, Gao Lishi stood up, he looked at Fang Chongyong with complicated eyes, and finally sighed and said: "The person you replaced when you enrolled in Hongwen Hall is Li Jiao, the eldest son of King Zhong. After enrollment, it is better to keep a low profile. ”

After saying that, Gao Lishi turned around and left, and after going out, the sky was already full of stars.

After he walked in from the back door of Xingqing Palace, he couldn't help but sigh and sigh.

"Fang Youde gave birth to an amazing son."
