Fang Yingwu knew that if their Fang family was not of the same discipline, with father and son as both Jinshis, and if Fang Yingwu was not Huiyuan, if...then these officials from the Ministry of Rites might not be willing to get him when they come together now...otherwise one
How virtuous and capable is the new scholar, can he be ranked with these old-timers in officialdom?
At this time, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but think of Liu Mianhua. Now that he was not a Mingjun, Liu Mianhua, who was a bachelor in the cabinet, had encountered this kind of dilemma.
If Liu Mianmian was in this situation, what choice would he make? It is obvious that he must first get the Shujishi or the editor. Nothing else can hinder this. As long as his position is stable, it will not be a mistake.
Go against the emperor.
There are wrong names, but there are no wrong nicknames. What does it mean to be a paper-coated Sange Lao? This is it.
Fang Yingwu also thought that if the rumors were true, the imperial court would be in an uproar. There would be countless memorials and memorials in the world to dissuade the emperor. There would be hundreds if not a thousand. But if he listed his name among them, I'm afraid it would not attract special attention.
But the problem is, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the worst. What if the emperor notices you and hates you for not knowing what is good? Others will follow the trend and give a few words of advice. As long as it is not too excessive, you should still be an official.
But he has not yet obtained his official position and cannot afford any losses.
Of course, on the other hand, hundreds of memorials will be sent to the palace like snowflakes at that time. Amidst the dazzling noise, if you quietly take a step back and become mute, it will not attract too much attention from others?
So you still have to keep a low profile. You must keep a low profile now. If you don't attract anyone's attention, that's victory. If you persist until you get the official position, that's victory!
The storm came faster than expected. When Fang Yingwu arrived at the ministry in the morning, everything was just a rumor. But by noon, the rumors became facts.
The latest news is that the emperor has issued several edicts, appointed and awarded more than a dozen relatives, alchemists, Taoists and monks in one go.
The most eye-catching is the appointment of the alchemist Li Zisheng as the right general, Deng Changen as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple; and the eldest brother of the Queen Mother, the Governor of the Left Army Governor's Office, Zhou Shou was promoted from Qingyunbo to Qingyunhou, the Queen Mother's second brother,
Zhou Yu, the governor of the Zuojun Dudu Mansion, was promoted to Ning Bo.
In just one noon, the news spread throughout the ministries and yamen. Suddenly, the whole court was in an uproar and the discussion was fierce - the emperor's nonsense this time is absolutely unacceptable!
It was a shame that the magician who pretended to be a magician was ranked in the East Class, entered the General Administration Department, and became an official in Taichang Temple. The reward given to his relatives, the Zhou family, was beyond the due etiquette. You must know that although the Empress Dowager Zhou is the biological mother of the emperor,
But it’s not the former emperor’s main palace!
Which one is tolerable and which one is intolerable? Does the emperor take government affairs seriously? Does he take his due responsibilities to heart? What do he regard as the country, the country, and the country?
In the past few years, the emperor has been renovating temples in the capital and replenishing the inner treasury with Taicang silver, which has cost more than one million. In recent years, local eunuchs have been rampant, plundering money to worship the emperor, and public resentment has been widespread! In recent years, the emperor has been deep in the inner palace,
He never meets a gentleman in person, surrounded by evil spirits, and his loyal ministers feel chilled!
Fang Yingwu watched with cold eyes, seeing that the gentlemen of the Ministry of Rites had begun to connect again, and the anxious ones were already writing memorials, so he wanted to leave. Thirty-six strategies are best, and if you stay here, you can't break up.
...
As soon as I walked into the atrium, someone suddenly called from behind me: "Where are you going, brother Fang? Why don't you go up with us?"
Fang Yingwu paused, then turned around and replied: "There are many things going on in the imperial court, how can I, this junior, just sit back and watch? I am about to go home to discuss with my father!"
Hearing the name of Fang Qingzhi, the Five Admonitions of Hanlin, the man was in awe and said goodbye. Fang Yingwu had other channels of his own, so his reputation would be much more refreshing. There was really no need to cooperate with them in the Ministry of Etiquette.
Fang Yingwu's words were naturally fictitious, so that he could get rid of the entanglement. He hurriedly walked out of the door of the Ministry of Rites, but still sighed deeply and asked himself, was it right for him to escape like this?
When the emperor loses his virtue, every person with a sense of justice and principles should step forward at this time instead of shrinking back... He Fang Yingwu is a scholar after all. If he just sits back and ignores it, he will be incompatible with history.
What is the difference between those villains and sycophants who flatter the king?
Then Fang Yingwu comforted himself and said, is there anyone who knows better than him what the general trend of history is? Anyway, things will naturally be rectified within a few years. Let's keep our usefulness for when the time comes, so as not to lose the qualifications for admission.
None, there is nothing you can do if you have talent.
Yes, he is different from the court ministers. He doesn’t even have an official position now, so what ambitions can he have? It’s better to wait for the official position first!
When he returned home, he saw his father talking to someone in the hall, and there were four or five people present. Fang Yingwu stood outside and looked around for a few times. Seeing the excitement on the faces of these guests, he guessed that what they were discussing was today.
The emperor messed up his destiny.
Just like that, Fang Yingwu stopped and walked towards his courtyard. In the past, Fang Yingwu would have definitely taken the initiative to give some advice, but now the most important thing is to keep a low profile and don't get involved casually.
It seemed like someone was calling him from behind. It was his father's voice. Fang Yingwu just pretended not to hear it and disappeared outside the moon gate.
At this time, my friend Xiang Chengxian was wandering in the courtyard. When he saw Fang Yingwu coming in, he shouted loudly: "Brother Fang Xian! I have been waiting for you for a long time! You must have heard that the emperor issued a decree!"
Fang Yingwu asked inexplicably: "Then what are you excited about?"
Xiang Chengxian said impassionedly: "When the imperial court goes awry, it's time for me to step forward. Brother, I specifically ask you to go to court with me and denounce it!"
If you can admonish and stop the emperor, it is not in vain to read the books of sages! If you fail to do so and are criticized by those who exterminate evil, then the worst is not to become an official, but we can be famous all over the world and be famous for generations to come!"
Fang Yingwu stared at Xiang Chengxian for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Why don't you become an official?" Xiang Chengxian replied: "Of course I will return to my hometown, and from now on..."
"In the fish and meat village?" Fang Yingwu added for Mr. Xiang.
"Yes, no! It's Jiaohua Township!"
A civil servant is a great master in the countryside. If a Jinshi returns home, he will become a dominant overlord. It is quite exciting to think about it this way. No wonder Mr. Xiang, who was born undisciplined and had no intention of becoming an official, moved.
Heartbroken.
Fang Yingwu waved his hand: "Go, go! Brother Xiang, you have bad intentions, don't try to drag me in!" Xiang Chengxian was still struggling, "Brother Fang Xian! If you want to send a letter to the Nine Heavens this time, then you must do it.
Take me as a brother!"
Fang Yingwu couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Who said I wanted to go to court?"
Xiang Chengxian asked: "Brother Fang Xian is so popular, how could he not remonstrate with the emperor?"
Fang Yingwu argued: "Do you know what low-key means? The imperial court has its own Dukes, so there is no room for us to speak! When it is time to keep a low profile, we must keep a low profile!"
Suddenly, another disciple came to report, and several of them claimed to be visiting in the same year. When they were invited, it turned out that they were all on the Jinke list in the same year, and most of them were from the same province, including Wang Hua, Li Min and others.
Everyone hugged each other and saluted, and then Wang Hua said: "Brother Fang Xian! We are here hand in hand to discuss the big plan together!"
Fang Yingwu was stunned, pretending to be confused and asked: "Brother, I am so stupid, how could I have known any big plans?"
Wang Hua thought Fang Yingwu was humble, and said: "Now that the emperor has failed, we who are studying cannot remain indifferent, nor can we teach our predecessors to underestimate our subject, and speak out today! After thinking about it, we all feel that this is
I cannot do without Brother Fang Xian."
Do you want me to roast you on the stove? Fang Yingwu laughed a few times and said, "My little brother, I have little talent and little virtue. How can I be worthy of being promoted by you? I can't do it. I really can't! Not to mention that there are all the princes in the court."
Manager, we’d better wait and see for a few days and don’t rush to the limelight.”
Li Min was dissatisfied and said: "What Fang said in the same year is wrong! The sage said that a scholar must be ambitious! He also said that even if tens of thousands of people go to where the Dao is! How can we look forward and backward in matters of integrity?"
Someone else shouted: "Fang Tongnian has made great contributions to the country and has high moral standards. He can be a role model for other people in the same year. He should raise his arms and shout, and we are willing to follow him!"
My sister... Fang Yingwu, who was afraid that he was not low-key enough, twitched his face. If he really leads a group of people who were born in the same year and suffered from the current problems, then you can be sure that they will be noticed by the emperor!
People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. This is how he feels now. If God gives him another chance, he will never gain any reputation in the capital. The right thing is to make a fortune in silence! (To be continued.)
