However, it is said that Ambassador Sun Lin and Sun are eager for talents and corporal corporals, and they are trying to promote Fang Yingwu, who has excellent business ability, as deputy ambassador. Now that they have reached this position, if Fang Yingwu doesn't show his trump card, I'm afraid there will be no chance of success.
One day, he became an economic official in a daze.
Although scholars and petty officials are both literate people, their political status is very different. Once you become a petty official, you will have to serve the people for at least nine years. How many nine years can you have in your life?
You also need to have the skills to show your trump cards. If it is too big, it will easily scare people. Fang Yingwu, who has several identities such as someone’s disciple, someone’s grandson, someone’s son, and a county student, thought about it and said to Ambassador Sun
He said: "To be honest, I am a student at a school in Chun'an County, Zhejiang Province, and I have a great reputation!"
Sun Lin was shocked when he heard this. He subconsciously thought that Fang Yingwu was talking nonsense, but he heard Fang Yingwu say: "If you don't believe it, I can go and get the travel diploma issued by the county school. Your Excellency will know it at a glance."
After Ambassador Sun confirmed it, he was stunned and speechless. If Fang Yingwu really had the reputation of being a scholar, he would have the first academic qualification in Yulin City or within a radius of 200 miles!
To say it is number one means there is no water at all. There is no school in a radius of 200 miles, including Yulin City, which was only built five years ago. How can one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians get any fame?
Among the senior officials, whether they are the generals, commanders, or officers at all levels, they are all military ministers and will not have any honors; outside the household, the governor has not yet arrived, the patrol censor is not in the city, and the guarding officer is not in the city.
Being an eunuch has nothing to do with fame.
As for the clerks and scribes in the yamen, they are only literate and can write a few fluent official documents at most.
Therefore, Fang Yingwu, a scholar, especially a highly valuable Zhejiang scholar, is indeed the first academic scholar in Yulin City.
Not to mention Bianzhen Yulin. Even if it were placed in the neighboring Mizhi County, Fang Yingwu's academic qualifications would probably be ranked among the top three. It is said that this Mizhi County has not produced a Jinshi since the founding of the country, and only one Juren.
Only three or two outside the county magistrates are from Juren's background. This is a common phenomenon in border counties.
Ambassador Sun's expression gradually showed something strange. No wonder Fang Yingwu refused to take up the position of deputy ambassador. If he was a scholar, he would indeed be qualified to look down on such a miscellaneous official position.
This man is only sixteen or seventeen years old, so he is a scholar. It is really enviable. Ambassador Sun then asked very strangely: "Since you have the title of military officer, how did you end up being sent to serve in the border town?"
Ambassador Sun has been living in the border areas for twenty years. He has seen ordinary people committing crimes and being sent to serve in the border army. He has seen officials being demoted to the border areas. But he has never seen scholars and other scholars being directly sent to serve in the border areas.
Since scholars are ranked first among the four civilians, they are of course privileged, and fame itself is a kind of talisman. In Ambassador Sun's impression, it may not be unique for a scholar like Fang Yingwu to be sent to serve in a border town, but it is rare, so it cannot be
Not surprisingly.
Fang Yingwu said cryptically: "It's hard to explain, Mr. Sun, it's better not to ask."
Ambassador Sun saw that Fang Yingwu was mysterious and could not help but snorted coldly: "Is there anything I can't say? I remember that you were transferred from the guard station. I will know when I go to the guard office to ask an acquaintance to check the official documents.
What did you do?"
"I was sent to Yansui Town by the emperor's imperial edict, so" Fang Yingwu replied helplessly.
Emperor? Imperial prisoner? Sun Lin jumped up from the Grand Master's chair, his eyes widening. When he first received it, he was too careless and did not read the official document carefully. Unexpectedly, he accidentally buried it next to him.
What a big thunder! If my curiosity hadn’t happened today, I wouldn’t have been able to ask these questions!
Ambassador Sun stood dumbly for a long time, and Fang Yingwu had no choice but to stand with him. I don't know how long it took. Ambassador Sun recovered from the shock, and then he thought again. How can ordinary people have the qualifications to offend the emperor?
The emperor has so many things to do, why would he specifically issue an edict to find trouble for a scholar? Isn't he just bragging?
Even if you die, you must be a clear conscience. Ambassador Sun couldn't help but curiously asked again: "What on earth have you committed, so that you can actually use the emperor's holy will to send you to Bianzhen?"
Fang Yingwu wondered: "It's hard to explain in one sentence, so Ambassador Sun better not ask."
"Then let me check the official documents?" Ambassador Sun threatened.
"I am actually being punished on my father's behalf."
Ambassador Sun felt that he was about to get to the core of the problem, "Who is your father?"
Fang Yingwu replied: "My father kept it secret." Seeing that Ambassador Sun had no reaction, he added: "Now he is a scholar of the Hanlin Academy."
Ambassador Sun patted his head and said in shock: "I have seen in the Di newspaper that the celebrity who was sent to prison a few months ago! It seems that he is the only minister who has been sent to prison in recent years!"
As he spoke, he jumped up again. For a little miscellaneous fish at the bottom of the officialdom like Ambassador Sun, those people are all people in heaven, those things are things in heaven, and fighting is also a fight between gods. Suddenly, he was fighting with himself.
The kid has a relationship, can you not be surprised?
He suddenly understood. No wonder Fang Yingwu was different in the warehouse. He didn't look like the same kind of person as them. It turned out that he was indeed not the same kind of person! This was a member of a distinguished family, an elite scholar, and he was different from ordinary people like himself.
!
Ambassador Sun found out the details about Fang Xiucai, and became more and more distressed and confused, not knowing how to treat Fang Yingwu.
He couldn't help but secretly sigh, this was really asking for trouble. At first, he only thought that the official document was just a formality, so he took Fang Yingwu in without reading it. He should have read it carefully if he knew it.
No one spoke in the room for a while, and it was quiet for a while.
After Fang Yingwu showed his trump card, he straightened up his back unknowingly, and took the initiative to ask: "Master Sun, I have something unclear. Why did you rush to report and recommend me to be the deputy ambassador? I always feel that there is something wrong with me.
what is the problem."
Ambassador Sun smiled bitterly and said, "The day before yesterday, the guard eunuch Zhang sent someone over to inquire about your affairs in detail and asked for your poem, which was about your hard work guarding the Great Wall.
At that time, I thought that your poems had spread and attracted outside attention and appreciation, so you might be transferred to another yamen. And I wanted to keep you, so I urgently reported you and recommended you.
To supplement the position of deputy ambassador. Now it seems that I am completely ignorant of the truth and acted on my own."
The guard eunuch asked about his situation? Fang Yingwu broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, frowned and thought deeply. He could feel that this was definitely not attracting attention, but a kind of surveillance.
The guarding eunuch is responsible for monitoring the local area on behalf of the emperor. A political "imperial prisoner" like himself must be the target of attention. The operation of the factory guard's spy system has already been established. When the Jin Yiwei escorted him out of the capital, it is estimated that Dongchang
Then he also passed his news to the local guarding eunuch.
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, since arriving in Yulin, he had been very sensible and kept a low profile with his tail between his legs. His words, deeds, poems, and poems were all out of line.
Now even if someone secretly recited "Fang Yingwu wrote a poem and said: Our literati are really sad", I am afraid that no one in the court would believe that Fang, a great talent, could write such a thing, or regard this crooked poem as a serious text.
If there is no one to protect you, if you are too high-profile or too outrageous, you will definitely suffer hidden consequences. When you read the book "Having Resentment", no one will even defend you.
It's so dangerous, so dangerous. I didn't realize the role of the guarding eunuch before, so I wiped my sweat with something. It's hard to live without a backer. I still have to seize the time to find a big hug, otherwise I will have to live a hard life cautiously.
.
As for the heretics such as the commander, the commander-in-chief, and the guarding eunuchs, the only hope was the new governor who was also from the Shilin lineage.
Before the governor took office, there was still an urgent matter. Fang Yingwu asked again: "Master Sun, can the recommendation you sent to the Chief Executive Branch be recovered?"
Sun Lin was shocked. How could a person of Fang Yingwu's status decide his future direction? Don't make him an official by mistake. His father's disciples and the like were not
You can afford to offend yourself.
He hurriedly ran out of the house as if running away, saying as he walked: "You wait here, I will go to the Chief Branch to get the recommendation application!"
A quarter of an hour later, Ambassador Sun came back, but he was empty-handed. "The Chief Executive Branch has already submitted the official document recommending you to the governor's office."
"Then what should we do?" Fang Yingwu asked with a change of color.
Ambassador Sun said with a sad face, "Because the governor has not yet taken office, all official documents in the governor's office are sealed and cannot be tampered with. We can only wait for the new governor to take office."
Fang Yingwu was no longer in the mood to be angry with Ambassador Sun, who was doing bad things because of his sentimentality, and he walked around the room thinking.
You must wait until the new governor handles the official documents and let the governor know about this matter. Otherwise, if the new governor is new and does not know what is going on, he will muddle-headedly approve and report it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for record, which will cause trouble.
Fang Yingwu suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you know when the governor will take office?"
Ambassador Sun answered truthfully: "I heard that the new governor is the former chief envoy of Henan. Because of the special border situation, he has to come directly from Henan to take up his post. He has probably already entered Yan'an Prefecture."
Fang Yingwu gave instructions without any doubt: "Assign me an errand and ask me to go to Mizhi County in the south. I will wait for the governor there in advance!"
The Chief Division is the branch of the Shaanxi Chief Secretary stationed in Yansui Town. Its warehouses have a lot of dealings with the prefectures and counties in the hinterland, especially the counties of Yan'an Prefecture. Almost all output must be supplied for military supplies. So Fang Yingwu thought.
This method is not surprising.
Since knowing the origin of the other party, Ambassador Sun's momentum has gradually declined, and he no longer has the slightest demeanor of a superior. Like a subordinate, he only promised: "The autumn harvest is coming, I will send you to Mizhi County to urge and calculate the money and grain in advance.
"
It was too late. Fang Yingwu breathed a sigh of relief. The serving prisoner patted his boss on the shoulder and said, "Actually, you are not a bad person. Although you are in a humble position, you are not jealous of talents and know how to select talents. Do a good job and I am optimistic about it."
you!"
