Seeing that his future son-in-law was slightly distracted, Liu Ji coughed heavily and asked, "What exactly do you think?"
Of course, Fang Yingwu knew that people should not be too greedy. It would be good to have one or two entries in the merit book to rank higher than others. As for this time, there was no need to pursue it diligently.
What's more, this time he picked it up for nothing. He didn't want to offend Wang Zhi at the beginning. He gave some random advice on how to deal with the errands based on historical data. Who would have thought that Eunuch Wang and Lord Wang Yue would cause such a big stir.
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu suddenly realized something... In history, Wang Zhi rose very quickly and fell very quickly. In just five years, he swept over the Ming Dynasty like a meteor and disappeared.
Originally, Wang Zhi had this great victory in history, but the victory was more fruitful in this time and space. But one or two years after the great victory, Wang Zhi gradually disappeared from the field of power, and finally ended up nowhere. Could it be that he was responding to Sheng Ji's wishes?
And the law of decline?
For a person like Wang Zhi who rose up so quickly relying only on the favor of the emperor, from the palace to the outer court, everyone may not dare to say anything on the surface, but can people accept and be convinced?
The trajectory of history should not have changed, so Wang Zhi now has the favor of the inner court and the military exploits of the frontier, and his prestige has reached its highest peak. It is like Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty's magnificent one-million-strong army marching south. Isn't it the same as standing on the same side?
Turning point?
Fang Yingwu thought too much and didn't reply for a while. Liu Mianhua thought that he was too young to let go of his achievements, so he asked again: "What are you thinking about? Even with your intelligence, you can't figure out the reason?"
Fang Yingwu raised his head and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu. Am I the one who can't bear to leave you? I just had other thoughts."
Liu Mianhua remembered that he had not asked Fang Yingwu why he had come, "You don't need to worry about these matters in the court. Just tell me why you came to me today."
Fang Yingwu hurriedly said: "I'm here especially to serve as a teacher for the provincial examination." Then he explained Li Shishi's difficult situation.
As for whether Liu Mianmian is willing to help, that's up to fate. Anyway, someone else can help spread the word to Mr. Ge, even if he is doing his best - not everyone is qualified or has the ability to spread this word.
.
Liu Mianmian smiled noncommittally, which aroused Fang Yingwu's curiosity again, and he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Liu, do you agree or not? I can also reply to the teacher."
Liu Mianmian stroked his beard and said calmly: "There is no agreement or disapproval. Tell Li Shishi that if possible, please ask Wanmeizhou to tell me this matter in person."
"Yes, I understand." Fang Yingwu responded.
It would be nice to have a reply. Fang Yingwu, who had nothing to do with him, was too lazy to think about what Liu Mianhua had planned. He stood up and left, and Fang Yingwu left the Liu Mansion. When he returned home, Fang Yingwu
Seeing Xiang Chengxian waiting in the small hall, I didn't know what was going on.
Xiang Chengxian came up to him and said, "I just went to my uncle's place."
Fang Yingwu expressed great surprise at this, "Didn't you hide away? Why did you take the initiative to find him?"
Xiang Chengxian said righteously: "Of course I have to explain to my uncle in advance that this banquet to have food, drink, have fun and invite beauties to join in the fun is your instruction. I am just helping out out of friendship, and it has nothing to do with my true intentions!"
Fang Yingwu was speechless, stretched out his hand and clicked thirty-two likes. "Brother Xiang is making great progress!"
Xiang Chengxian suddenly asked again: "At noon today, the teacher came to see you, was it because you wanted to get an official position?"
Fang Yingwu looked surprised, "How did you know? Didn't you go out first? Couldn't you have been hiding outside the wall and eavesdropping?"
"How can my brother be such a worthless person?" Xiang Chengxian said angrily: "My uncle told me when I visited him." Then Mr. Xiang continued to explain: "You also know that my uncle has now completed his term.
Go to the capital to select officials. His rank is almost the same as that of the old master..."
Fang Yingwu's mind was as fast as lightning, and he made some guesses after hearing this. He said, "Could it be that the two of them have chosen the same position?"
"You can guess this? You really know the elegant meaning after hearing the string song!" Xiang Chengxian was surprised at first, but then he felt accustomed to it.
Fang Yingwu waved his hand and asked Xiang Chengxian to get back to the topic, "Just tell me, what positions do both of them fancy?" Xiang Chengxian replied: "General Secretary Si You Tongzheng is currently vacant..
....”
Fang Yingwu suddenly realized that for these two people, the official position of General Secretary Si You Tongzheng was indeed worthy of their fancy.
Although there are many large and small yamen in the capital, with many departments, courtyards, temples, and prisons, there are only seven real core yamen in the outer dynasty, or nine if the scope is slightly expanded.
The nine yamen are respectively Liubu, Duchayuan, Dali Temple, Tongzhengshisi, and the Zhengyintang officials of the nine yamen are collectively called Jiuqing, who are the first-level officials in the outer dynasty. Adding Jiuqing to the cabinet basically means the Ming Dynasty
The highest level of leadership in the civil service system of the DPRK.
Among these nine yamen, although the General Affairs Secretary sits at the end of the list, and his authority has been increasingly reduced in recent years, he is still one of the nine yamen.
General Affairs Envoy Si Zhengyintang Guan is a third-grade General Affairs Envoy, and there are two general affairs envoys on the left and right, similar to the ministers in the Six Ministries.
Nowadays, Youtongzheng is vacant. This position does not necessarily have much power, but if you take it, it means entering the leadership circle of Jiuqing Yamen.
Xiang Chengxian's uncle was a veteran of the third rank in politics, and Li Zuoshi was a gilded fourth-rank deputy envoy to study outside the capital. Both of them were qualified to compete for the position of Youtong, so they met face to face.
Already.
Fang Yingwu understood the cause and effect, and suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Liu Cifu and Yin Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were stuck with Li Shishi!
Is it possible to avoid being stuck? If Li Zuoshi is released as the Right General Secretary, it is equivalent to letting him enter the circle of the leadership of Jiuqing Yamen. Who knows that he will not become the Minister of the Sixth Ministry in a few years?
Xiang Chengxian suddenly became serious, "My uncle also said that if there is a vacancy for the third-rank minister in the Jiuqing Yamen, he would not dare to think about it. But now that there is a vacancy for the fourth-rank right minister, it just so happens that at this time
There are not many other idle officials, so it is a rare opportunity for him in the officialdom, and he will not hesitate to get the position of general administration with the level of political participation."
Officials in the capital are more valuable than officials in other places. It is not surprising that the official position in the capital was transferred from a third-grade official position to a fourth-grade official position in the capital. Besides, the rank of casual officials is still there.
Fang Yingwu also understood very well that Mr. Xiang would not tell Xiang Chengxian everything without any reason. This was also a very vague expression of asking for help, but he was not sure about his attitude, so he expressed it in such a tortuous way.
For officials who are aspiring to make progress, the official fourth-grade official in Jiuqing Yamen is a very cost-effective choice.
Doing one person a favor is a happy event, doing two people a favor is...
On one side was his mentor and on the other was an elder who was a close friend from the same hometown. Fang Yingwu was in a dilemma and was extremely speechless. He really wanted to look up to the sky and sigh and complain: "It's none of my business!" Fang Yingwu was just a guy who didn't even know his exam results.
It’s just for lifting people up!
Just being the son-in-law of the prime minister is like this, so how difficult is it to become the prime minister? No wonder the ancients used the harmonious cauldron to compare the prime minister. If you don’t have any coordination skills, how can you become the prime minister? (Unfinished)
to be continued..)
ps: There are several clues now, but they just can’t be integrated and the rhythm is difficult to grasp. In addition, after a period of experimentation, I really can’t code at home at night. From now on, I will take the time to code at work every morning and during the day.
