There are not so many coincidences in the world, and what happened today is not a coincidence either. [This article comes from] It was a deliberate arrangement by Fang Yingwu who notified Magistrate Wang in advance.
Of course, Fang Yingwu was not bold enough to fabricate imperial edicts to add glory to himself. Even if he wanted to fake it, Magistrate Wang would not go crazy with him. Who can bear the charge of forging edicts?
It is true that there is such an edict, and it is true that the court wants to consult Fang Yingwu. It is just that the edict arrived the day before yesterday, not today; and there is no need to make this edict public in the first place, and there is no need to go to the county school to announce it with great fanfare.
It turns out that there has been a drastic change in the north recently, and a war broke out suddenly between the Jiaslan tribe and the Mandulu Khan headquarters who were attracted by the imperial court, and they attacked and killed each other. Then suddenly came the news of the death of Mandulu Khan. It was said that he died of serious injuries.
And died.
After the Ming Dynasty court learned of the news, it immediately understood it according to traditional thinking: "My emperor is wise, God bless the Ming Dynasty, China and foreign countries work together to strategize, the northern captives are in internal strife, and the chieftain is killed."
This shows that the previous strategy of wooing and provoking is effective, and what Fang Yingwu said is correct. But in the face of this situation, what to do next needs to be carefully calculated.
At this time, Liu Ji, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, suggested that Fang Yingwu, the creator of the figurines, be consulted for his opinion. So the imperial court urgently issued an edict to the Chun'an County Government Office and asked Fang Yingwu to express his opinions. The day before yesterday, he heard this from Wang Zhixian.
At the time, Fang Yingwu could only smile bitterly, which was too flattering to him.
According to the original historical trajectory, Mandulu Khan probably died this year. Fang Yingwu thought that because of his butterfly effect, Mandulu could live a few more years and confront Jasilan for a period of time. Unexpectedly, this year
Still hung up.
What was even more unexpected was that the imperial court actually attributed Mantulu's death to his side strategy, and issued a six-hundred-mile expedited edict asking for advice on the next step. This flattered Fang Daxiucai.
Of course Fang Yingwu knew. According to the historical trajectory, Mantulu's widow, Queen Manduhai, would choose Batu Mengke, who was less than ten years old, to succeed the Khan. Ming Dynasty officials called him the "little prince" in history.
Moreover, Manduhai will marry Batu Mengke again. In the future, the desert will become the world of Manduhai and the new Khan’s little prince. Especially the little prince, according to the original historical trajectory, this person will become Beibei Zhongxing when he grows up.
Lord.
In the long run, it is just right to kill the little prince quickly. But in the short term, it is not easy for the Ming court to immediately betray its trust and abandon the heir of Shunyi King Mandulu.
After thinking about it, Fang Yingwu wrote: "I heard that among the Tartars, there is a young man named Batu Mengke. He is the only bloodline of the Golden Family in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. The successor to the Khan must be this person. The imperial court
You can take advantage of the situation and be canonized as King of Shunyi.
If the new Shunyi king cannot destroy Jiasilan in the future, the court will still treat it according to the previous rules; if the new Shunyi king destroys Jiasilan and its power becomes large, the court can contact Horqin, Yisimain and other tribes in the east of the desert.
They were canonized in turn and offered border tributes to induce them to compete with King Shunyi's headquarters.
In any case, we must not sit back and watch Batu, the new king of Shunyi, conquer the desert, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
Fang Yingwu's memorial was handed over to Magistrate Wang as early as yesterday and sent out. However, in order to keep himself clean in the county school, Fang Yingwu asked the magistrate to help with the acting, and deliberately sent a Yamen today in the name of summons.
Go to the county school and announce this edict in public.
His purpose is to frighten those who are unconvinced with him, and to use facts to let everyone understand how big the gap is between people, so that there will always be blind people coming to provoke him.
But what's interesting is that today, Meng Jiaoyu asked a question about side affairs, which coincided with the imperial edict asking Fang Yingwu about side affairs. It was a coincidence. When he thought of this, Fang Yingwu felt funny in his heart.
.
Being able to directly issue an edict to ask for opinions from the imperial court, and also being a vital border affairs officer, this had a huge impact on ordinary scholars living in county schools.
As a result, after Fang Yingwu left, the entire county Xue Minglun Hall was silent. Although he left, the words "The border policies I wrote are military secrets and are not suitable for you to read" are still in my ears.
Among the big families in Chun'an County, various canonization edicts are not uncommon. Almost every big family has some, but they belong to others in the family, not their own.
Moreover, a formal canonization is not the same thing as an edict for consultation, and the symbolic meaning is also very different. The imperial court issued an edict to inquire about important military and state affairs. This is clearly the treatment of civilian ministers in history books.
Objectively speaking, the real situation is not so exaggerated. However, Fang Yingwu's pretense was too successful, the vision of the students in the district and county was too low, and human imagination is endless, so it was inevitable to exaggerate.
Some people who read a lot of poetry novels can't help but wonder, this Fang Yingwu went abroad to study for a year. Did he meet the emperor who paid a private visit in disguise, and then made the Sacred Heart happy, and received the favor of acquaintance?
He didn't express what others were thinking, but said that Fang Yingwu followed the yamen officer out of the county school and into the county yamen back hall, so there was no need to continue the play. Fang Yingwu thanked the yamen officer: "Thank you for your help."
Got it!"
The officer quickly smiled and said: "The eldest master and Xianggong Fang have given orders, and it is also a small duty."
After that, the two parted ways, and Fang Yingwu came out of the county office and strolled back to school. As he was passing through the crossroads in the county town, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Isn't that brother Fang Xian in front of you!"
Fang Yingwu turned around and saw Xiang Chengxian, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, waving to him. Next to him was the anxious Young Master Hong Songhong, and behind them were two servants.
It seems that after hearing the news about the county school yearly examination, these two acquaintances finally came to the county to prepare for school. Now they have a place to live! Xiang Chengxian's house in the county has a large area and a separate outer courtyard, which is very suitable for housing Lan.
Sister.
Fang Yingwu seemed to have seen a house with legs coming towards him. He happily stepped forward to greet him and said, "I have met these two virtuous brothers. Are you okay? When did you arrive in the county seat?"
Hong Song replied: "I arrived this morning. I have just settled in and am about to go to the county school."
Xiang Chengxian also jumped in and replied: "Thanks to Brother Fang, I have enjoyed studying so much this year that I have forgotten what it looks like outside the study room. I also heard that the county school has annual exams, so I came to enroll.
."
The three of them chatted for a few words and were discussing whether to go to the county school first or find a place to drink first, when the attentive Hong Song suddenly discovered something strange.
He then asked: "The county school year-end examination is coming soon, and everyone in the school must not dare to slack off. This is the time for reading and teaching, why are you wandering out alone, Fang Xiandi?"
"Of course there is a reason..." Fang Yingwu replied.
Xiang Chengxian frowned, snorted coldly and said to Hong Song first: "What other reasons could there be? It must be that you and I have not been in the county school these days, and we have been humiliating Fang Xiandi a little bit, so he is angry and unable to deal with it.
I can only wander outside alone."
Fang Yingwu admired Xiang Chengxian's imagination and quickly denied it: "That's not the case. No one in the county school can bully me..."
Xiang Chengxian interrupted Fang Yingwu, "I don't believe this. Your nature is to save face the most. Even if you are bullied, you will not tell others, for fear of losing your face, you will secretly think of ways to retaliate yourself.
So when something like this happens, you must hide it in your heart deliberately and don’t want your friends to know about it. But you can hide it from others, but you can’t hide it from me!"
Fang Yingwu was dumbfounded. Mr. Xiang's thinking was too wild. He was about to continue to deny it. At this time, Hong Song took the lead again and continued to express his position: "Brother Fang Xian, please don't worry. With the two of us here, we will not scream."
Others can continue to bully you."
"It's definitely not what you think. An edict just arrived and I went to the county government office to receive it."
Xiang Chengxian stared at Fang Yingwu and chuckled: "I have to make up some decent reasons. Do you think that with my intelligence, I would believe that there is an edict coming to you? Why didn't you say that Tathagata Buddha issued a decree?"
Fang Yingwu could only wave his hands helplessly. "Whatever you think."
The three of them walked to the county school together, and agreed to find a place to have a drink after registering. Then they entered the Yimen, and saw from a distance that their homework had been dispersed, and groups of people in twos and threes were leaving Minglun Hall.
Xiang Chengxian patted his fan and cheered: "I came at the right time. Gentlemen have time, so you don't have to sit around and wait for a long time." Then he said eagerly: "After seeing you, sir, let's see who it is.
You are so bold and dare to humiliate Brother Fang Xian."
What does Mr. Xiang want to do? Isn’t he afraid that the world will not be in chaos? Fang Yingwu curled his lips and said sarcastically: "Brother Xiang seems to be very excited?" Xiang Chengxian laughed, "I haven’t seen my classmates for a long time, it’s inevitable, it’s inevitable!
"
At this time, a scholar in his thirties came up to the three of them. Xiang Chengxian immediately changed the subject and said to the visitor: "Brother Liu, there is no need to be polite, what are you doing?"
Fang Yingwu also knew that the classmate who came to them was named Liu Mingyandao, and he was also a veteran student in the county school. Of course, veteran student was not a good word, which only meant that this person had wasted his years and could not do anything.
inch forward.
Liu Yandao ignored Xiang Chengxian and Hong Song, but first bowed to them and said, "I've met Mr. Fang!" Before the three of them could react, he added: "Please help Mr. Fang with this year's annual tribute.
There will be consequences."
The so-called annual tribute is another way out for county students. If they really fail to pass the exam, the scholars can recommend tribute students in order of age every year, and they will be admitted to the Imperial College in order. After they are out, they can still be officials.
Of course, someone with such lofty ambitions as the other party should disdain to take this path, but for many others, this is also a good way out.
However, there is only one quota for Gongsheng students in a county school every year, so it is still very tight. Several people often compete for one quota.
The two young masters Hong Xiang looked at each other in astonishment.
It doesn't seem too unusual for Liu Yandao to ask the two of them to help him win the quota. By virtue of their family background and their own strength, the two of them can be regarded as "influential" figures in the county school, no worse than Xu Huai.
But classmate Liu actually ignored the two of them and ran over to ask Fang Yingwu for help. Was he taking the wrong medicine? How could Fang Yingwu, a rookie student student who had only been in the county school for a few days, help?
"Are you here..." Xiang Chengxian couldn't help but stretched out his finger and pointed at his head.
Fang Yingwu was also shocked. First, he was surprised that this thing also required a behind-the-scenes operation. Second, everyone was a scholar. Shouldn't his words be more subtle? How could he be so straightforward? He couldn't help but look at Hong Song with a look of doubt on his face.
Hong Song shook his head, and the other party replied: "This has always been the case in the county school, so there is no need to make a fuss, the instructors can't care about this."
Fang Yingwu smiled bitterly. He had never understood before that the only way out for a student scholar is to pass the provincial examination or be elected to prison. Neither of them depends on the student's own will. Therefore, as a scholar in the county school,
What is the use of this academic master, and what benefits can it bring?
Logically speaking, if there is no profit-motivated phenomenon, it will not be a long-term phenomenon. What gains can a person like Xu Huai get from being a top student? Is bullying newcomers every year enough to satisfy him?
Now Fang Yingwu finally figured it out, it is really profitable... The education industry is not simple after all, the connotation of academic master is exactly like this!
"I beg you, classmate Fang, to help me!" Liu Yandao said firmly, ignoring the strange expressions of Xiang Chengxian and Hong Song next to him.
ps: Let’s talk about the update. I have to save articles in the past two days and start adding updates on the 28th. Because there is a double monthly ticket event at the end of the month, and next month is said to be the historical classification month of Qidian.
