Chapter 606: Reputation Realization

Eunuch Huai'en's mention was indeed very unexpected, and Fang Yingwu himself was completely unprepared.

In fact, as a person with lofty ambitions, it is impossible for Fang Yingwu not to study the things related to the East Palace. After all, in this era, the East Palace is almost the only way for the Hanlin Cichen to rise, and it is almost impossible for officials without East Palace qualifications to reach the top.

But the result of Fang Yingwu's research was that it was best not to enter the East Palace in the Chenghua Dynasty. Even if he has the qualifications, and has internal and external help like Liu Mian and Wang Zhi, if he works hard, it may not be difficult to enter the East Palace.

The reasons are very complex and have many aspects, first of all, the first reason is his father Fang Qingzhi. said a thousand ways and ten thousand, how can there be a reason that father and son are in the East Palace? This situation is very jealous, so it is better to avoid it.

In addition, Fang Yingwu also felt that having his father take root in the East Palace was enough to ensure the future of the Fang family, and it was easier to expand the influence of the Fang family by struggling in the foreign dynasty.

In addition to the factor of his father Fang Qingzhi, the second factor why Fang Yingwu did not want to enter the East Palace was that the water in the palace was too deep in the last years of Chenghua, and the dispute over the abolition of the prince was almost white-hot.

Being a minister by the prince's side, it is inevitable that he will be deeply involved, Fang Yingwu doesn't want to cause this headache, especially because he has too many entanglements of interests, such as Wang Zhi.

Besides, if the trend of history changes, and now the prince does not become the emperor, then the minister of the East Palace like his father will definitely sink. And he can avoid bad luck in the foreign court, which can be regarded as dispersing the political risk.

In addition to the above two main reasons, Fang Yingwu also has a small concern, that is, his age.

He was only nineteen years old when he was a sergeant. I'm only in my early twenties right now. Sometimes the dynasty still has to pay attention to a little old age, and he is not a few years older than the prince. What kind of dignity can be established?

Therefore, the political route designed by Fang Yingwu for himself is to mix in foreign countries for a few years first. Maintain the status of the clear stream. After more than ten years, when it is necessary to form the East Palace team for the next generation of princes (that is, the Zhengde Tianzi in the history books), he will try to fight for a place.

At that time, his age is mature enough, and there is no longer the problem of zĆ i being in the East Palace with his father, and he can also create a literati anecdote of two generations of the Fang family serving two generations of the East Palace, which greatly extends the political career of the Fang family.

But Fang Yingwu didn't expect that today Eunuch Huaien suddenly asked him to enter the East Palace now. If it came true, it would disrupt his long-term plans.

It's not just about things. Everyone else was baffled by Eunuch Huaien's sudden mention of yƬ, and they didn't know what Huai'en was thinking in his heart and what his purpose was.

Fang Yingwu didn't want to offend Huai'en, and Fang Yingwu, who was familiar with history, certainly knew that Huai'en was different from Wan'an and others, and he would still have a lot of political vitality in the future. So he replied in a very humble manner: "The lower officials are shallow in their studies and young in virtue, how can they afford to be the instructor of the East Palace?" This proposal should be mentioned again, and please choose another virtuous one! ā€

Wynne's face was expressionless, and it was impossible to guess what was going on in his mind. The other party replied again: "Lord Xiaofang, don't be too humble!" When I was in the palace, I once heard a smooth saying, the original sentence was: If you say you can do it, you can do it, or not.

I heard that this sentence slipped out of your mouth or Lord Xiaofang, you have to be sarcastic about current affairs by chance, and now I will ask others. If you want to serve the East Palace, who can say that you can't? ā€

It is true that none of the other people in the hall stood up and said that Fang Yingwu was not good, and Yin Jian was not far away. There were just two people in front of them who said that Fang Yingwu couldn't do it, but they were all blocked by Fang Yingwu and were speechless. Who wants to go out again and be embarrassed?

Fang Yingwu still refused, and resigned: "The official of the national dynasty is in office." There are several rules to avoid suspicion, or there are different rules for father and son. My father is now in the East Palace, how can such a subordinate official serve the East Palace? ā€

Anyway, Fang Yingwu made up his mind, and today he let Huai'en's father-in-law speak of the lotus, he just doesn't accept it, and this determination cannot be changed.

Wynn turned his head to the four giants of the cabinet and said, "Bachelor Fang is diligent and excellent in the East Palace, and he may be rewarded." I heard that there is going to be a vacancy in the sacrificial wine of the country, and your cabinet will see if Master Fang can fill it. If Master Fang makes up for the Guozijian, there will be a shortage in the East Palace, and there will be no suspicion for Lord Xiao Fang to make up for it. ā€

When everyone in the hall heard this, their hearts couldn't help but shout in unison, what do you want to do with Huai'en, you actually offered such generous conditions for the Fang family! Even Fang Yingwu was stunned, Huaien threw out a huge temptation to seduce him to nod!

However, it is said that the minister's service in the East Palace is an indispensable kind of gold plating, but the gold plating is gold plating after all, but the process is not the result. The purpose of the gilding is, of course, to move to the top, and to put it bluntly, the prestige accumulated by the officials needs to be realized.

Cichen is generally the highest to achieve the fifth grade, and then it is necessary to consider the issue of moving to the top of the court. There are only a few routes, and being a national prince is a very good transition.

The wine of the Guozi priest is the fourth grade, and the lower can receive the title of the minister, and the upper can pass the third grade of the Shilang Siqing. Moreover, the Guozi priest who is in charge of Taixue is a relatively clear official position, and it is very popular among the ministers in various transitional official positions.

What's more, there are thousands of prisoners in the Guozi Prison, although in today's imperial examinations, the prisoners are not as popular as in the past, and the treatment is far worse than that of the Jinshiju. But there are more ants to bite the elephant, and there are thousands of scholars under his hands, and the younger brother is a force that cannot be underestimated after all, and there is no second official position in the court with this kind of book power.

If Fang Qingzhi ends the gilding of the East Palace and becomes the supervisor of the country, it will not only mean that the grade will be upgraded to a higher level, but also represent the further strengthening of the political status, which is a key step to turn from fiction to reality and turn fame into power. In the next few years, he can consider attacking the position of the third rank.

I have to say that Huai'en's construction immediately shook Fang Yingwu's tenacious determination, and if Xiao Fang's willpower was a little weaker, it might be crushed.

The father suddenly has such a good opportunity to realize the prestige he has accumulated for seven years, can he, as a son, stand in the way?

Fang Qingzhi served as the eunuch of the country, and then Fang Qingzhi's son made up for the waiter in the East Palace, this kind of change came out of other people's mouths, it must be too much drinking and talking nonsense, or it was a dream when he didn't wake up from sleep, and he didn't have to take it seriously at all.

But who is Eunuch Wynne? It is a prominent celebrant eunuch who is in charge of the seal, directly controls the power of approving red, and his prestige is extremely high, and his comprehensive power is still above the ministers.

How can the construction proposed by Wynne be gibberish or dreams? Everyone must be cautious, including Fang Ying. (To be continued......)
