Wang Shu watched Fang Yingwu leave the study and sighed secretly. Unlike Fang Yingwu who was focused on rushing, he had already received the news that Fang Qingzhi had been selected as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.
Shujishi is not an official and does not have a formal rank. It is just a name, indicating that he is studying in the Hanlin Academy. If he is selected as a Shujishi, he can officially become an official after three years, which is called disbanding.
It seems that Shujishi became an official three years later than others, but it is the dream of all new scholars except Sandingjia, because Shujishi is also called "Chu Xiang", and as the name suggests, he is the reserve prime minister.
In the past, the qualifications for the cabinet were not very strict, and it was possible without going through the Imperial Academy.
However, in the early years of Chenghua, Li Xian, the first assistant academician, established the rule that "non-Hanlin officials will not join the cabinet". The next two first assistants, Peng Shi and Shang Ren, continued to maintain and strengthen this rule, and now it has become a norm in official circles.
Therefore, if ordinary Jinshi cannot be selected as Shujishi, they will lose the qualification to reach the top, and there will be no hope of becoming a minister or assistant in this life.
With Fang Qingzhi ranking as high as the fourth among the top two, although he could not directly enter the Hanlin Academy as a editor or editor like Sandingjia, it was normal for him to be selected as a Shujishi.
The essence of the imperial examination system is that the examination results have the final say. The better you do in the examination, the better the development platform will be. Of course, having a good platform does not mean good results, it also depends on personal nature.
Having said that, unlike other yamen, the Hanlin Academy has clear responsibilities and powers, and is regarded as the seat of the prime minister. At the same time, the Hanlin Academy is in charge of writing documents, edicts, compilation of historical records, and has a close relationship with the cabinet. It is also a close official of the emperor, and its communication level is at a very high level.
, is the clear stream in the clear stream.
Because of their high status, Hanlin officials have a great degree of freedom. They can immerse themselves in historical documents and ignore the rights and wrongs of the outside world; they can also make frequent discussions, give advice on the political agenda, and actively participate in government affairs to increase their sense of presence.
Of course Wang Shu understood Fang Qingzhi's personality. If he encountered something he didn't understand, Fang Qingzhi would definitely speak out and would not bury himself in historical documents and pretend to turn a blind eye.
But now, in the court, there are so many people and things that the loyal and upright people can't stand, and the status of Shang Xianggong, a veteran of several dynasties, has also been squeezed out. If you speak frankly, you may offend someone.
Therefore, Mr. Wang detained Fang Yingwu for two reasons. One was to prevent Fang Yingwu, who claimed to "help his father" from causing trouble, and to reduce various variables around Fang Qingzhi.
The second is to take precautions. The officialdom is turbulent and dangerous. If Fang Qingzhi is attacked and punished by traitors, at least Fang Yingwu can be protected by him, freeing Fang Qingzhi from worries.
After Fang Yingwu left, Miss Wang also entered the study and said to her father: "Father knows very well that from my daughter's point of view, this son is not a person who covets glory."
"How can I see it?"
"Although my father was not allowed to establish a court and had been stuck in the local area for twenty years, my father had a long-standing reputation and was sitting in the south of the Yangtze River as the governor. He was still much more noble than ordinary people. If ordinary people had the slightest chance, they would definitely visit him to ask for an audience and build relationships.
But Fang Yingwu was just a scholar from a small county, and the Fang family was not a wealthy family. This time he passed by Suzhou, and his daughter saw that he was not very enthusiastic about coming to see him, and even tried to avoid him. This shows that he has something in his heart.
Proud, not someone who covets wealth."
Wang Shu nodded and said: "After all, he is Fang Qingzhi's son, and he still looks a bit similar inside."
If Fang Yingwu heard Miss Wang's interpretation, he would definitely smile bitterly. He thinks he is a good person, but he is really not that good.
The reason why he refused to come to see Wang Shu was actually because Mr. Wang was so bold to speak out that he was a thorn in the emperor's heart. It is clearly written in the history books - "The emperor is very tired of suffering."
A newbie like me is still very weak and cannot withstand the wind and waves. It is best to avoid risks, large and small, as much as possible.
The ancients said, "Don't do good deeds because they are small," but it is also correct to change them to "Don't avoid dangers because they are small."
But it is said that Fang Yingwu and Fang Xiucai are really scholars meeting soldiers this time, and it is hard to explain why. If Grand Master Li Shishi is a person with extremely no faith, then Mr. Wang Shu Wang is on the other extreme, his faith is too strong.
Not everyone is like Shang Xianggong, who is round on the outside and square on the inside. He has principles that he adheres to, and there is no lack of flexibility.
Full of dissatisfaction, Fang Yingwu was taken to the governor's residence, and the Wang family gave him three main rooms and two side rooms.
It is called a guest house, but it is also high and spacious. Although the interior decoration is not luxurious, it is very elegant.
Of course, those who can interact with and stay at the governor's high-ranking officials are all important people, so the guest house cannot be too shabby. At least in this life, Fang Yingwu has never stayed in such a luxurious room.
Fang Yingwu saw Lan Jieer and two attendants in the courtyard. They were all a little at a loss.
These people who were villagers in the mountain village yesterday were standing next to the carved railings and painted buildings today. They were not freaks like Fang Yingwu, so of course they were extremely uncomfortable. It wasn't until Fang Yingwu appeared that the three of them seemed to have a backbone.
"Little husband, I heard from my master that you want to stay here to study?" Wang Ying asked cautiously.
Fang Yingwu snorted coldly: "They are just self-righteous! Stay here first, and then find a way to leave!"
Seeing that Fang Yingwu didn't look happy, the others didn't ask any questions. It was getting late, so they went back to their rooms to rest. Fang Yingwu and Sister Lan entered the main hall, while Fang Yingshi and Wang Ying went to the side room.
In the house, Sister Lan was sitting on the bedside, sorting out the boxes, and seeing her husband thinking so hard, she felt distressed and said, "Why don't you take out Mr. Shang's letter? Mr. Wang can't always overpower the Prime Minister?"
Fang Yingwu shook his head, "This is not a beast-fighting chess, where everyone wins. Mr. Wang has a tough character and will not waver on things he has determined. Even the emperor has been repeatedly criticized by him, let alone Shang Xianggong.
face.
And you have to know that what Mr. Shang asked me to send was not a letter, but a favor. If I take out the letter today, what can I explain to Mr. Wang?
If Mr. Wang just goes with the flow and takes over all the letter delivery matters, and directly appoints someone else to go to the capital for me and deliver all the letters one by one, wouldn't I lose these favors in vain?
Favor cannot be bought with money, and cannot be lost easily. Of course, you must be careful."
There were many inconveniences on the road, and Fang Yingwu had not been intimate with Sister Lan for a long time. The stay tonight was quite comfortable, so he had some sex to quench his thirst.
The next day, Fang Yingwu got up early and went out for a walk. As soon as he reached the end of the courtyard, he saw two sergeants standing there chatting.
The two sergeants were very enthusiastic and greeted them, "Young Master Fang, how did you sleep last night? Are you getting up early to relax? I would like to be the pioneer."
"Why are you called Mr. Fang? Can't you remove the small characters?" Since Fang Yingwu plans to go out and make a career in the world, of course he doesn't like to be treated as a child.
"This is what the young lady specially ordered. Naturally, the little ones dare not call me wrong. By the way, the young lady also said yesterday that she would come over in person this morning." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster. !)
