Hearing his father's words, Fang Yingwu was shocked. What role did Li Zisheng play? He was just a magician who was very favored by the emperor. However, the emperor was forced to appoint an official position despite the opposition of all the courtiers. In Shilin
Very disdainful!
Fang Yingwu believed that if Li Zi Province recommends a person to the emperor, there is a 80% chance that he will be adopted! But the question is, what kind of face can an official who is promoted because of Li Zi Province's recommendation have? It is not a stain.
Come on! A person who got promoted on the recommendation of a sycophant is still a fool!
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu became furious and cursed: "Xu Pu, an old man, dares to frame my father for injustice like this! I am incompatible with him!"
Fang Qingzhi sighed helplessly, "Actually, it's not Xu Xu's fault." Fang Yingwu was confused. Could it be that he had misunderstood? Is there any secret behind this?
I also heard my father say: "Xu Xueshi told my father that this person in Li Zi Province was acting strangely. In the past few years, Xu Xueshi, Xie Qian, Liu Jian and other princes were promoted because of his quiet and proactive recommendation.
Xu Xuesheng also said that he did not have the ability to recommend him as a father directly, so he could only entrust Li Zisheng to recommend him. Anyway, Li Zisheng likes to recommend people of high rank secretly, so he will not refuse this time."
Fang Yingwu was stunned. This was simply the weirdest secret he had ever heard since he became an official!
Xu Pu, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian are all future bachelors and are currently very famous Qingliu Ci ministers. However, their promotions in the past few years are all because of the recommendation of this sycophant Li Zi Province? On one side is Qingliu
A famous minister, and a sycophant on the other side... This is completely incompatible!
Fang Qingzhi probably couldn't pass this test in his heart. He sighed: "I think it's better to cancel this agreement. Let a villain like Li Zisheng recommend it. It's really..."
"No! Father, let's just settle down and get promoted!" Fang Yingwu said.
If Xu Pu, Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others have all been recommended by Li Zi Province, then what can't be tolerated by my father? What's so difficult about sharing the light with the dust!
You know, the Chenghua Dynasty is very dark and chaotic at the top right now! If you don’t have the same character as the light, you will have no chance to stand out!
Fang Yingwu also knew that Xu Pu, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian would all become great bachelors who would leave their names in history, wouldn't they? His father followed them and followed the trend, and he couldn't make any mistakes!
Fang Yingwu said with emotion: "Xu Xueshi is a gentleman after all. If he can tell his father clearly, his actions can be considered aboveboard."
But just as Fang Yingwu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the historical records from his previous life - after the death of Emperor Chenghua, the new emperor ascended the throne and worked hard to govern, and dismissed the villains. For a time, everyone in the court was in full swing.
At that time, Xu Pu became the first assistant, Liu Jian entered the cabinet and became a bachelor, and Xie Qian also became a candidate who was only one step away from joining the cabinet. Of course, his cheap grandfather also became a heavenly official. And what happened to Li Zisheng
It seemed like he was imprisoned and then died suddenly.
Fang Yingwu didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it's probably very strange... Most of the other sycophants were expelled from the capital or sentenced to prison terms, but only Li Zisheng died in prison inexplicably.
At this time, who is most interested in the death of Li Zisheng, who has lost power and seems to be no threat? A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Fang Yingwu's forehead. The darkness of politics and the complexity of human nature can always exceed your imagination.
Powerful.
"Why do you think Li Zisheng keeps recommending good people?" Fang Qingzhi asked with great trepidation.
Fang Yingwu thought for a while and replied: "Probably for self-protection, as the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. He felt that if he had been showing kindness to the gentleman at this time, if things changed in the future, the gentleman would still be able to tolerate him after he came to power.
"
At this point, Fang Yingwu couldn't go on and smiled bitterly. Only he knew the reason for the bitter smile. It can be said that Li Zisheng was very smart and had wonderful ideas, but he met a group of people who were smarter than him.
Fang Qingzhi thought thoughtfully: "I heard that Li Zisheng was also a scholar, but he failed in the exams many times. In order to improve, he turned into an alchemist and learned several spells to please the emperor.
It seems that although his conduct is bad, he still has some Taoism in his heart, otherwise he would not have repeatedly recommended Hanyuan Ci officials."
Fang Yingwu didn't answer the question. What was right and wrong was right and wrong. If it weren't for him, who was standing five hundred years in the future, who would be able to see through it?
There was nothing to say between father and son. Fang Qingzhi habitually put on a stern father's air and criticized: "As a parent official, the court entrusts the people of the county to you. Why do you not think about being diligent in the king's affairs and run home every day? What's the point?
"
Fang Yingwu let out a long sigh and said: "People can't help themselves in the world. The past few days have been turbulent, and I, my son, have been sighing all day and night. When I get home, I can hear first-hand news from my father's mouth, which will help me respond in time. If
Squatting in that small county government office every day, I am afraid that all I hear is out-of-date news!"
Fang Qingzhi became melancholy. He was an editor of the Hanlin Academy. No, it was possible that he was an attendant of the Hanlin Academy. Not only did he become his son's gunman, but he also became his aide. How could he be so embarrassed? The most terrible thing is that
, but I can't refuse...
This son is obviously a sixth-grade magistrate. He is a magistrate of Jingxian County who has even been exempted from the imperial court qualifications. It can be said that he is a very marginalized official in the imperial court!
But what does his son's tone sound like? Does he think that he is the Minister of the Prime Minister and the Assistant Minister, and that he needs to pay attention to the latest developments in the court at all times and provide guidance?
To put it bluntly, the important affairs of the imperial court have nothing to do with the county magistrate Fang Yingwu! Even Hanyuan Qingliu like himself can only watch on the sidelines for the time being!
But what makes Fang Qingzhi even more melancholy is that important events in the court seem to be frequently related to his son... His son's appearance rate is as high as his own.
Today, Fang Hanlin heard other people pointing fingers: Did you see that the good-looking Mr. Hanlin is Fang Qingtian's father? His son can kill the admiral of Dongchang, and it is even more conceivable that his father...
Thinking of this, Fang Qingzhi popped out a few words from between his teeth: "You seem very proud of being so insidious at a young age? Didn't your father teach you the way of a gentleman? I don't think you should go to the Yamen yet.
Now, I’m studying and listening to training at home these days!”
Fang Yingwu shuddered and stood by the window with his hands behind his hands. He slowly raised his head and looked at the moon, with a look of sadness on his face: "The country is like this, what is there to be proud of?"
Fang Qingzhi was extremely surprised, because his son was generally optimistic, and it was rare to hear such painful words from his son. He couldn't help but ask: "How can you say this?"
Fang Yingwu continued to raise his head and look at the moon, and said: "I heard that Ming Jun and Holy Lord always put the country before themselves, just like Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he accepted advice humbly and did not blame the ministers even if he was offended and lost face.
But now, he is putting himself before the country. This time, he is willing to go to war just for his own face. The ministers can only expel evil and evil through unscrupulous means. What a tragedy! My son, I have been thinking about this. What’s going on in the world is worth pondering for each of us!”
Fang Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought. For a moment, he sighed with concern for the country and the people. Fang Yingwu glanced at his father from the corner of his eyes, wiped his sweat, and quietly slipped out. (To be completed.)

ps: Yesterday, I was practicing driving and working on the next stage of the plot. In the end, I didn't finish writing this large section. It wasn't until this morning that I finished it and posted it together. It's just to make up for yesterday. I will try to write two more chapters in the afternoon and evening today!
