Due to the tacit entanglement of the bosses or the inefficiency and inertia of the bureaucracy, Fang Yingwu's new appointment has not arrived, so Fang Yingwu felt that he should do something to express his feelings.
Of course, this kind of behavior is not a scolding or accusation by Shangshu. It would be a bit like being angry and asking for an official position for oneself, which is not in line with the public image of a rising star in the scholar field.
All in all, this kind of expression should be subtle. So Fang Yingwu thought about it and asked for three months' leave from Shu. The reason was also very upright. He wanted to go back to his hometown to replace his master, and to celebrate the birthday of his former chief assistant Shang Xianggong.
In this way, he implicitly expressed some dissatisfaction to the court - if the court still didn't give an explanation, he might as well take a three-month holiday!
At the same time, there is also a subtext of being an important official. The highly respected former chief minister is celebrating his birthday, so the court should send someone to express condolences? Then he should find a very suitable candidate, but he must have an identity and a decent official position.
identity of.
Therefore, after reading the book, Fang Yingwu felt that he was so clever that he could come up with such an exquisite subject and be able to express his feelings perfectly and thoughtfully.
After that, Fang Yingwu fell into a state of doing nothing again. He was bored that day, so he went out for a stroll and went to the home of the lecturer Li Dongyang.
There are many dignitaries and dignitaries in the Xicheng area, so there is a reason why Fang Yingwu wandered to Li Dongyang's house instead of someone else's house.
First of all, Li Dongyang was Fang Yingwu's room master during the examination. There is a teacher-student relationship here, so it is not out of the ordinary to come to the door. Moreover, Fang Yingwu has a closer relationship with room master Li Dongyang than the room master Xu Pu.
.
Although the teacher-student relationship was valued by people at the time, the teacher-student relationship in the officialdom was fundamentally for political service. Xu Pu and Xie Qian were not in the same lineage as their father Fang Qingzhi, so Fang Yingwu naturally
So he became alienated from his master Xu Pu.
Secondly, Li Dongyang was a native of the capital, and he liked to socialize. He kept the central door open all day long, and from time to time, guests would gather together, and then he would recite poems and compose poems and talk eloquently. This was the capital that Li Dongyang later became a leader in the literary world. With this background, he should be able to follow everything.
It's not rude to just walk up to someone's door casually.
It turns out that Li Dongyang had a relatively ordinary life in the Hanlin Academy, and in more than ten years he only earned the nickname Li Shiba. But in the past few years, for some reason, Li Dongyang suddenly came to the end of his hardships. He served in the Ban Dong Palace, served as a co-examiner, and recently became a member of the Imperial Academy.
He went to study in the Nei Shu Tang. His future suddenly became much clearer, with some hints of leading to the cabinet.
As a result, the lobby of the Li family suddenly became a bit popular. It used to be that most of the down-and-out literati came to visit and hang out, but now there are also many officials and celebrities who have changed into casual clothes and flocked to attend the gathering.
Fang Yingwu has been the magistrate of Beijing County in the past few years and has been busy with many affairs, so he has little time to join in the fun. But now that he is free, he naturally wants to move around more.
After entering the main gate of Li's house, I arrived at the living room as if I was familiar with everything. At this time, there were more than a dozen people sitting around drinking tea and chatting. Li Dongyang was sitting in the middle of the host's seat.
Fang Yingwu stood at the door and saluted Teacher Li, then Shi Shiran pulled out a chair from the corner, moved it to the back of Li Dongyang, and then sat down directly. This action attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and they couldn't help but comment.
A few words.
"This boy seems to be alone. Who is he for?" "It's Mr. Xiao Fang." "Which Xiao Fang?" "The spring scenery is in the Fang family's Xiao Fang." "He is really extraordinary and different from the ordinary."
When the comments fell on Fang Yingwu's ears, it was inevitable that he would feel a little complacent. If he didn't even have this little vanity, he would still be considered a celebrity, but it didn't show on his face.
In fact, Li Dongyang has a very strange feeling towards Fang Yingwu. He is a bit dumbfounded because Fang Yingwu is really unconventional.
According to the rules of this world, the seat teacher is the most important. It is the real teacher-student relationship. The room teacher is inferior to the seat teacher. However, Fang Yingwu's attitude towards the seat teacher, Xu Xueshi, is quite cold, and he is just doing errands.
.
But it's not like Fang Yingwu didn't respect his teacher enough. He was very warm to his room master. Sometimes Li Dongyang would even have the illusion that Fang Yingwu was approaching him intentionally, just like in a play
It feels like a rich girl leaning against a poor scholar.
But if Fang Yingwu took the initiative to fawn over him, Li Dongyang, that would be a joke. He, Li Dongyang, has no power and no power. What is there to fawn over? Fang Yingwu’s father, father-in-law, grandfather, and industry master are not all well-known figures. It would be wrong to fawn over him, Li Dongyang.
Is this a cold bench?
Li Dongyang was confused and thought about it for several years, but he still couldn't figure out why Fang Yingwu was so angry. However, Teacher Li was an open-minded person. Seeing that Fang Yingwu had no ill intentions, he accepted it calmly. This can't be a bad thing.
.
Seeing Fang Yingwu sit down, Li Dongyang asked: "I heard that you have been away from home recently and want to take leave to go back to your hometown to celebrate the birthday of Senior Shang?"
Fang Yingwu replied: "It is true." Li Dongyang nodded: "If the court approves the leave, we may go together."
"Come with us?" Fang Yingwu didn't understand. Li Dongyang explained: "I heard that the imperial court intends to order me to go to Chun'an County to visit and express condolences to Senior Shang."
Fang Yingwu was speechless upon hearing this. Rather than asking for leave, he was asking to be an envoy. What's more, he was looking for an excuse to ask for an official position so that the big shots in the court would give him pleasure.
If it is confirmed that Li Dongyang will be the envoy, what will happen to him? Officials all belong to Sheji. Has anyone heard of the imperial court granting officials three months' leave for no reason?
Li Dongyang hesitated for a moment, and then responded to the other party: "Do you really want to go back to your hometown to visit Senior Shang? If so, I will quit the matter."
Fang Yingwu quickly said: "How can this happen? How can a student ask the teacher to give in?"
Li Dongyang didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "What you said is serious. What kind of concession is this? This is the beauty of a gentleman. Besides, you are indeed more suitable than me for visiting south."
Fang Yingwu thanked him very gratefully: "It's better to obey my orders than to be respectful. I would like to thank the teacher here."
Li Dongyang is still a gentleman in essence. After being "fawned over" by Fang Yingwu for so long, he always has to sell back a few favors to feel at ease.
Then he told Fang Yingwu: "I heard in the palace today that Ling Yue has been reinstated as the second assistant and has begun to serve in the cabinet today. I would like to congratulate him. If you want to be an envoy and return home in glory, you'd better go quickly.
It would be better to talk to Ling Yue about this matter."
Has Liu Mianhua's recovery procedure been completed? Fang Yingwu was thoughtful and still said: "I'm going to see the teacher today, and there's no rush for anything else."
However, after coming out of Li Dongyang's place, I still have to go to the Liu Mansion in the evening to get the job of visiting Mr. Shang.
The reason is very simple. A person who is sent by the imperial court to visit the former chief minister must have a clear official position. If he is not a Hanlin official, he must be a member of the Ministry of Education and Rites. Has anyone heard that the imperial court will send a county magistrate and a Tongpan as an envoy? (Unfinished)
