After the opening, Yao Qian, the owner of the bookstore, held a banquet at a nearby restaurant, treated the guests to food and drinks, and then left happily. He originally wanted to persuade Fang Yingwu to retain him and continue to discuss the details of the operation of the eight-part essay anthology, but Fang Yingwu declined.
Already.
"It's too early to discuss the details at the moment. We need to confirm whether we can take out the test paper before proceeding to the next step. Otherwise, all the talk will be just lip service but no real results."
After leaving Zhongyi Bookshop, follower Fang Yingshi said to Fang Yingwu: "Brother Qiu, you look very happy again today."
"What do you mean?" Fang Yingwu asked back.
Fang Yingshi said carelessly: "Last time when you came out of Jiaofangsi Alley, you looked very cheerful, but after just one day, you seemed depressed again."
"Are you still embarrassed to talk about what happened that day?" Fang Yingwu felt helpless when he mentioned this, "It was you who ruined my chance to be a bad guy and made me unable to frame Zhongliang with peace of mind, but you became the one who bravely saved my master.
servant."
Fang Yingshi laughed out loud, feeling a little proud, almost writing "This is a man who beat five imperial guards" on his face.
Fang Yingwu probed: "I heard that someone offered you a high price of fifty taels a month and asked you to become a nursing home?"
"Brother Qiu, please don't worry, I will never abandon you!" Fang Yingshi patted his chest and said.
This is who can abandon who should be moved and say: "Thank you!"
However, he sighed secretly. He was suppressed everywhere in the capital. It was not easy for him, a young scholar, to move around carefully. He even had to think hard to refuse others to give women to him.
It’s weird to be happy. There are always times in life when you are so helpless. But today I feel very fulfilled indeed. I have found the feeling of being a time traveler with ease, and because I have the hope of truly being able to do something independently, instead of wrangling every day.
Watching people while running errands.
Doesn't this also mean that I am currently at this level, so I seem to be able to do it with ease?
Fang Yingwu looked at the sky and saw that it was already afternoon, then went to the residence of the great scholar Liu Ji. According to his experience in dealing with Liu Mianhua, the great scholar Liu must go to the morning court seriously in the morning and complete the ceremony before the emperor.
Then he would probably go to the cabinet to attend to matters, and finally go home at noon - the time when the cabinet got off work was actually at dusk, so returning home in the afternoon would have been unbelievable in any emperor's reign.
The fact that academicians took the lead and slacked off shows how lazy the political style was during the Chenghua period. It was not without reason that Liu Mianhua was criticized and repeatedly impeached.
Therefore, in this afternoon, if University Scholar Liu did not go out, he should be at home to escape the heat and be lazy.
Fang Yingwu arrived nearby, but did not come directly to the door out of caution. He could not make a big splash now, and his contact with Liu Mianhua should be kept secret, otherwise he would be easily regarded as an accomplice, and the effect of future flattery would be far less effective.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Fang Yingwu found a writer on the roadside, borrowed paper and pen to write a greeting note, and asked Fang Yingshi to take it to the Liu Mansion and drop it in.
I don’t know how long it took, but Fang Yingshi ran over and said, “The steward over there has told me to let you in.”
Fang Yingwu lowered his head as much as possible, walked silently along the wall, and arrived outside the gate of Liu's Mansion in an inconspicuous manner.
Then he was led to the study room of Grand Scholar Liu. After seeing the ceremony, Liu Ji took the initiative and said: "Are you here to ask about your father's affairs? The Director of Ceremonies has already approved the red hair and ordered me to interrogate the matter. Now the edict is issued
When you get to the Criminal Section of the Sixth Section, you will be sent to the Jin Yiwei after the Criminal Section has passed the review."
Fang Yingwu asked: "After being sent to the Jinyi Guards, do you still have to repeat the performance and submit a detailed application to the boss?"
Liu Ji nodded and said, "Yes, this is a fixed process."
Fang Yingwu sighed, the operation of this bureaucratic machine was really worrying, and the whole process was full of clericalism. He said helplessly: "Then we will wait for the good news from the boss."
Liu Ji pointed out: "The key is not my interrogation. This matter is clear and clear. There is nothing to interrogate. It is purely a formality. The real key is that your father-in-law needs to write a letter of repentance, so that he can give an explanation to the emperor."
"I'm afraid this will be difficult." Fang Yingwu felt confused after hearing this. With his father's character, he must firmly believe in his own justice and resolutely safeguard the justice in his heart. How could he write a letter of repentance? Is it possible for a loyal minister to speak out and advance?
Is your remonstrance wrong? My father is probably determined not to admit his mistake.
Fang Yingwu said even more helplessly: "If it comes to this point, then let's talk about it."
He also talked about compiling an anthology of eight-part essays: "Wan Sheng wants to cooperate with fellow bookstores to compile an anthology of contemporary essays and publish it."
When Liu Ji heard this idea, he didn't care whether it was feasible or not, but first asked: "How did you come up with this idea?"
Fang Yingwu replied, "I suddenly felt like there was a lot to be done in this matter."
Liu Ji chuckled and said, "That's the advantage of being young. You dare to think and do."
You old man has never dared to think or do it? Fang Yingwu thought. But he said: "We still have to rely on the support of the boss. This year's exam papers are stored in the Ministry of Etiquette, please ask the boss
When someone speaks, let the junior student make a copy. If it can be accompanied by the examiner's judgment, that would be the best."
Liu Ji replied: "I, the Minister of Rites, have a false title and are not in charge of ministry affairs."
Fang Yingwu said quickly: "This eight-legged anthology is a new thing. It will be published all over the world. I think all scholars who are aspiring to start a career will read it. At that time, this book can be regarded as half a master of the industry. I wanted to ask the boss to be here."
One or two reviews may be included, or a preface may be written for a new book.”
Liu Ji turned around without any trace and said: "Although I don't care about the ministry, my words in the Ministry of Rites are still useful."
Fang Yingwu secretly laughed. Liu Mianhua had now secured his position as a cabinet minister and was keen on repairing his image. Otherwise, he would not have helped save his famous father and would have prepared poems to praise him. If there was still a good channel to build up his image and reputation,
, he’ll be damned if he doesn’t take it seriously.
Moreover, Bachelor Liu was admitted as a Jinshi at the age of twenty-three or four, and later he was a member of the Imperial Academy. No matter what his character was, his writing skills were still very strong. He was also a Bachelor of Zaifu. Inviting him to show his face would not reduce the price, which is equivalent to a piece of gold.
A star sign.
Liu Ji pondered for a moment, wrote a letter with a pen, handed it to Fang Yingwu and said: "Take this letter and go see Mr. Zou, the Minister of Rites."
"Thank you, sir." Fang Yingwu thanked him. With such a letter, he should be able to do anything good.
Besides, what he wants to do is not an illegal crime. In order to be fair, fair and open, the exam papers can be disclosed and reviewed, and even the examiner's comments are not considered confidential. So since the bachelor has spoken, let him get some from the bookstore.
Personally, is it difficult to go to the Ministry of Rites and copy more than 200 test papers? (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
