Chapter 489: The Dead End of the Anthology Division
Liu Ji's return to Beijing after the end of his rule was the biggest political event in the first half of the 20th year of Chenghua. The emperor sent eunuchs to Liu's house to offer condolences, and then Liu Mianhua went to express his gratitude.
Later, the emperor wanted to issue an edict to appoint Liu Mianhua as the Taibao of the Crown Prince. He was a bachelor of the Imperial Palace and the minister of the Ministry of Etiquette (virtual title of minister), but Liu Mianhua wanted to go to Shuxun to resign, and then the emperor wanted to issue an edict again to appoint him... This
There are prescribed actions, and the procedure must be followed step by step. There is no point in rushing.
During this period, Fang Yingwu also completed his term inspection, and all examination papers were transferred from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the Ministry of Personnel. Therefore, Xiao Qingtian, known as the best magistrate in the world, was officially included in the selection process of the Ministry of Personnel.
Although Fang Yingwu, a sixth-rank magistrate of Jingxian County, was a parent official for the people under his rule, his rank in the imperial court was not high. In theory, local officials below the fourth rank did not need to be appointed by the emperor, and the Ministry of Personnel could directly make decisions.
The level of promotion, retention, and county magistrate can even be drawn up by the Department of Literature and Selection.
But when Fang Yingwu's resume (resume) was placed on the desk of the Literary and Selection Department, all the ministers had a headache, and they couldn't help but sigh together. After half a month of delay, what was supposed to come has finally come!
For the gentlemen of the Literary and Selection Department, there is simply no way to arrange for an eccentric official like Fang Yingwu, or in other words, no matter how he arranges it, it will be wrong.
First of all, it is definitely not possible to be demoted. Fang Yingwu is considered to be the best. If it is a remote place, you can still talk about it through hearsay. But Fang Yingwu, the magistrate, is not a magistrate from other places, but is a magistrate in the capital. How is he doing?
It is obvious to all, from the officials to the common people, so how can it be deceived and deceived?
The exam is top-notch, and everyone knows about his performance. If he is demoted instead of being promoted, he is definitely acting out of conscience. With so many eyes in the court looking at it, demoting Fang Yingwu for no reason is simply a huge scandal.
If something bad happens, the director of the Literary Selection Department will resign first to apologize.
Secondly, it cannot be justified if he is flat. Fang Yingwu was originally from Hanlin, but was demoted to the county magistrate because of his loyalty. For this, he received widespread public sympathy. They all believed that Fang Yingwu could not sink like this and should be promoted back early. This is the way to go.
Maintain the right path.
If this time we only give him a flat position but don't give him a chance to be promoted, then in public opinion, he is afraid that he will be said to be complicit in the Ministry of Civil Affairs' Literary and Selection Department and are unwilling to help Qingliu return.
Thirdly, it would be inappropriate if the Literary and Selection Department planned a promotion for Fang Yingwu. He would only make his boss unhappy.
Yin Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel has been an official in the Ministry of Personnel for ten years, and he is a big boss in the Ministry of Personnel. Yin Shangshu is a die-hard fellow of the scholar Liu Jue. As for the relationship between Liu Jue and Fang Yingwu, the relationship between Liu Jue and Fang Yingwu is not known in the imperial court.
Who doesn’t know who doesn’t know?
Just a few months ago, Fang Yingwu took advantage of a sudden change and directly abolished Liu Jue's position as deputy assistant! Although Fang Qingzhi came forward to change things, Liu Jue kept his position as a university sergeant. But Liu Jue did not hate Fang Ying in his heart.
Things are impossible.
Under such human factors, if the Wenxuan Department arranged a bright future for Fang Yingwu, wouldn't he be asking for death in front of his boss and his boss's boss?
Of course, if the choice is just between unconscionably catering to the superior's suppression of Fang Yingwu and not being unconscionable, then it can be considered simple. It is nothing more than choosing one of the two, closing your eyes and gritting your teeth to choose one of them.
But Fang Yingwu is too complicated. If you can get benefits by suppressing him without conscience, then you can do it if you don't want to have such a face. But the biggest problem now is that even if you are ignorant of conscience, you may not be able to please him.
Who is Fang Yingwu's future father-in-law? He is Liu Ji, Liu Mianmian, who is about to take office as the second assistant academician! Liu Mianhua, who is younger than Liu Jue of Wan'an, might become the first assistant sooner or later! How can this background not be good?
Provoked?
Who is Fang Yingwu's father? He is Fang Qingzhi, who is gradually becoming famous in the Hanlin Academy. He is already a minister of the fifth rank at the age of thirty-seven or eighty, and the Hanlin bachelor is only a fifth-rank scholar. Everyone in the officialdom understands this.
what does that mean!
Thirty-seven or eighteen years old, he is a minister of the fifth rank and has a very good reputation. He is also a servant of the East Palace. The sum of these auras means that even if Fang Qingzhi survives the years without success, he can still survive twenty years.
Grand Bachelor!
What is Fang Yingwu's reputation and combat effectiveness? When he first became a Jinshi, he was imprisoned three times. After taking office as magistrate, he defeated Shang Ming, deposed the capital censor Dai Jin, and when he was about to leave office, he impeached Liu Jue's second assistant.
.Although there have always been ups and downs, I still managed to survive. This is already a very powerful deterrent.
Could it be that the fighting power of these officials of the Department of Literature and Selection could be more powerful than that of the emperor and his second assistant, Liu Jue? If Fang Yingwu was wronged this time, the world might be turned upside down.
After much thought and deliberation, the gentlemen of the Selected Works Department finally realized that the problem of Fang Yingwu was an unsolvable problem and a dead end. It can also be said that although their Selected Works Department is known as the best and fifth-grade department in the world, it still has
If you are not qualified to participate in the game, the solution can only be decided by the higher authorities.
In the late spring of late April and early May, the poet's feeling of cherishing spring emerged spontaneously. Fang Yingwu, who had no official position and was a candidate for election, had nothing to do at home and looked at the falling flowers in the courtyard and wrote a few poems.
He wrote a poem about the sad spring and sent Wang Ying to the Liu Mansion.
As for whom it is for, it goes without saying. Since men and women are different and it is inconvenient to meet, they can only communicate their pre-marital feelings in this way.
Half a day later, Wang Ying came back with the poem manuscript. Fang Yingwu asked in surprise: "Didn't you send it out? The young lady of the Liu family is not in the house?"
Wang Ying smiled bitterly and said: "The third lady is in the mansion. After being sent in, she asked the maid to tell her that she didn't like these poems and asked the master to rewrite them!"
Fang Yingwu shook his head, "It's a pity, but you can't waste your efforts on writing these poems! Send the poem manuscript to Madam He and ask Madam He to forward it to Mr. Wang!"
Wang Ying asked doubtfully: "I heard that Mr. Wang can't read as well as I do, so how can he understand poetry? Brother Qiu, aren't you playing the piano to a cow?"
Fang Yingwu waved his hand: "Young Master Wang knows what to do. Some people will appreciate it. Just go and do it quickly!"
After Wang Ying left again, Fang Yingwu stretched out and called Fang Yingshi, and also left the house. There had been no news from the Ministry of Personnel for so long, so he should go and urge him!
From Qipan Street, we bypassed the imperial city and arrived at the official hall. Among the bustling but cautious crowd, Fang Yingshi opened a path, and Fang Yingwu squeezed to the front, patted the table and asked the clerk on duty: "Is this the case?"
I have been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel for so long. Is there any news? The Literary and Selection Department of your ministry must give an explanation!"
The scribe was about to get furious, but after seeing clearly who Fang Yingwu was, he patiently replied: "This is a matter for the superior officials. How can I know about it? Mr. Fang, don't force others to do anything."
Fang Yingwu frowned and asked, "Is Dr. Zou from the Literary and Selection Department here? Please pass the message, I want to visit and ask for advice." The scribe quickly replied, "Mr. Zou has reported illness and gone home."
Fang Yingwu asked again: "Mr. Zou is not here? Is Mr. Gu, Yuanwailang, here?" The scribe quickly replied: "What a coincidence, Mr. Gu also reported illness and went home."
Fang Yingwu gritted his teeth and said, "So Master Cheng is also ill?" The clerk replied with a bitter face: "Master Cheng has gone to the palace to deliver the yellow files, and there is a high probability that he will not return to the government office today."
