Seeing that Fang Yingwu was in a daze, Wang Zhi urged him a few more times, but Fang Yingwu remained silent. In the end, he just said: "How dare a junior speak to an elder? Don't ask."
Wang Zhi felt that Fang Yingwu didn't know how to praise him, and he also sneered a few times, "Are you afraid to say it, or do you disdain to tell me? When he talks to me in general, he speaks clearly and clearly, and when it comes to specific matters, he
Keep silent, is this how you treat others?
I am treating you sincerely today, and I am honest with you about everything, but you literati have such a big heart. I thought you were an exception, but I didn’t expect you to be nothing more than that!
Just now I thought you were a cautious person who knew what you shouldn't ask and didn't ask questions randomly, but now it seems that you are still not aboveboard enough."
Don't ask random questions if you shouldn't? Could it be that she just offered to answer his two questions just to test herself? Fang Yingwu thought to himself, but still didn't reply. Wang Zhi must have used a trick to provoke the general because he was young.
, he cannot be fooled.
This made Wang Zhi puzzled. She was just getting closer to Fang Yingwu, so how could she arouse his resistance? Isn't it the temper of such a young scholar that he would be grateful as long as he obeys the rules?
Thinking about it carefully, Fang Yingwu refused to talk to him about Wang Shu. Could it be that he was worried that he would be harmful to Wang Shu? Thinking about this, Wang Zhi really wanted to laugh a few times, but this reminded himself!
In this way, she no longer made excuses, pointed at Fang Yingwu and shouted: "Fang Xiucai! I talked too much and almost went astray, and the misunderstanding became bigger...
So I won’t hide it anymore, and you can see that I appreciate you very much, and I have a career and career for you!"
Fang Yingying was indifferent on the surface and replied: "As for the future, it is determined by itself, so I don't need to bother the factory supervisor."
This is not because he is indifferent to fame and fortune. On the contrary, he cares about things like fame and future more than anyone else. Scholars who pursue self-cultivation, family order, country governance, and world peace must be proactive and enterprising.
But he also knew that pie in the sky would not fall for no reason. Who knew what the hidden intentions of this female factory supervisor who should not be underestimated were? Anyway, it was definitely not love at first sight.
Wang Zhi's face returned to calmness, and she said with a smile: "You should be very interested in the reason why I left Beijing to go south, but you don't dare to ask? I can tell you clearly now, one is to recruit talents, and the other is to go out and relax.
"
This is true. She is surrounded by a group of rough people and not many literati. It is sometimes very inconvenient, especially when dealing with courtiers. There is no one to help her. Moreover, some courtiers do not deal with her at all, so
We need someone who can be present to socialize in the middle.
However, Eunuch Wang's reputation in the capital was too bad, and she would not be able to find a suitable person for a while. Therefore, she went south this time because there were many literati in Jiangnan, and she planned to find a few suitable people to use around her.
At the same time, it was also because the turmoil caused in the capital a while ago was too big, so she wanted to go out to avoid the limelight. But of course she couldn't look for a needle in a haystack to find people. Naturally, there were spies who went to various places in advance to inquire about information and report the candidate list.
Fang Yingwu, who had become quite famous in Suzhou Prefecture, was on this list, and his comments made the factory supervisor moved. He was seventeen years old, handsome in appearance, noble in family background, young and mature, outstanding in literary talent, good at socializing, and easy to talk.
Wang Zhi stretched out a thin white finger and tickled Fang Yingwu through the void: "I think you are good. I have heard about what happened in Suzhou Mansion. Come to me and work as a clerk, or
Do you literati call you Xixi? Or do you call them Mubin?"
Fang Yingwu was stunned and went around in circles. Is this her ultimate goal? But Shi can be killed and not humiliated!
He sternly refused and said: "The scholars and Confucian waiters here are not yet impoverished! What kind of future is there for you to be a nameless book clerk next to you!"
Wang Zhi couldn't help laughing loudly, and felt very arrogant in Fang Yingwu's ears. "Do you think being a librarian is wronging you? You don't believe that this is a career in fame and fortune? You are really a frog in a well! Do you know that the people around me are
What is the official position of the previous secretary now?"
Although Fang Yingwu was very disdainful, he still couldn't help but ask: "What is it?"
"His surname is Wu Mingshou. He has been working as a clerk for me for several months. Now he is in charge of the Jinyiwei Department of Zhenfu! You will know if you ask around!"
Fang Yingwu was somewhat impressed by this name. Wang Zhi was probably not lying. He was able to take charge of the Zhenfu Division, which was a great success!
There is no need to go into details about what the emperor's personal army, the Jinyi Guards, does. Anyone who has a little knowledge of the history of the Ming Dynasty will know it. However, in the Jinyiwei, there are countless commanders, commanders, commanders, thousands of households, etc. It is easy to be dazzled.
So who is really in power? You only need to look at the assignments behind the title to understand. Whoever is the Zhijinyi Guard is the boss; whoever is the Zhijinyi Guardsman is the most powerful faction next to the boss.
In addition, nowadays, the Zhenfu Division is nominally a subordinate department of Jinyiwei, but the Zhenfu Division is responsible for edicts and prisons. In fact, it is responsible for carrying out prison work. The Zhenfu Division has the power to report directly to the emperor and does not have to report to the emperor.
The boss of Jinyiwei is in charge.
Therefore, Wu Shou's transformation from Wang Zhi's secretary office to the commander of Jinyiwei Zhenfusi was a meteoric rise to the top. In the civil service system, such an encounter was absolutely impossible.
But Fang Yingwu still said proudly: "So what? As scholars, there are things we can do and things we should not do!"
His family has been farmers for generations, his father was Fang Qingzhi, a Shuji scholar, half of his master was Shang Ren, and his future grandfather was Wang Shu.
Such a family and background are the clearest among the clearest. They should be raised and educated while taking the imperial examination. How could they possibly follow the Jinyiwei route!
Wang Zhi had already been mentally prepared for the other party's attitude. "Why are you so excited? I didn't say you weren't allowed to take the imperial examination. You can work as a secretary for two years first and then take the provincial examination two years later. I won't stop you if you win the imperial examination."
You go and try it.
If you fail, you can consider continuing to work as a clerk and wait for the next exam, or I can ask the emperor to directly provide you with the official position of Jinyiwei, which will never be a loss to you, and it is a way to get the best of both worlds."
Fang Yingwu refused again and said: "I accept it with my heart! There are thousands of scholars in the world. Please give this kindness to others. There will always be people who are willing to serve you! Why bother with me!"
Seeing that her overtures were repeatedly rejected, and that all her efforts in lowering her body for a long time were in vain, Wang Zhi's face gradually turned cold, "Because only you are the best, and what I want is the best!"
You have a father like Fang Qingzhi, a teacher like Mr. Shangge, and a grandfather like Wang Shu! With these facades on display, it’s perfect for you to stand up for me and deal with those ignorant courtiers! You
Think twice yourself!”
Fang Yingwu sounded very uncomfortable. Is she looking for a bookkeeper? Is she looking for a male publicist?
Seeing that Fang Yingwu still didn't nod, Wang Zhi sighed again, "Why bother? Don't let me force you."
Fang Yingwu heard this and said angrily: "You want to force Liang into prostitution? Farewell!"
