Chapter 240: No Example
Wang Shu didn't know about Fang Yingwu's new residence near Wulin Gate, but it didn't mean that the people sent by Wang Shu couldn't find a place.
But finding a place does not mean that someone has been found, Fang Yingwu's entourage Wang Ying replied to the governor Xingyuan: "My father-in-law said that he was tired of reading, and he wanted to change his mood, so he traveled alone early this morning, and I don't know when I will return." ”
The person who came was helpless, so he had to say: "Wang Futai is in a hurry to find Fang Gongzi, and when he returns here, tell him to go and see him quickly." ”
Fang Yingwu was not in Hangzhou City at this time, but quietly went out of the city to find someone to drink tea. Of course, the person who can drink tea with him is naturally not an ordinary person, it is Li Shishi, the chief examiner of this township examination and the deputy envoy of the school. This opportunity can make countless people jealous to the point of madness, and now the city is full of scholars, who doesn't want to see Lord Li?
At this moment, there are only two people in the hall, Li Shishi and Fang Yingwu, Li is wearing regular clothes, and Fang Yingwu is a small hat in Tsing Yi, looking like a young man who runs errands. At this time, he was not a scholar, but a messenger.
Li Tixue asked lightly: "Has the matter come to pass?" ”
Although he didn't specify what it was, Fang Yingwu knew that he was referring to the list of examiners. He replied, "The results should be available in a few days." ”
Li Tixue frowned slightly, "Isn't it still uncertain?" The official is about to enter Hangzhou City, and once he enters the city, he will be locked in the Tribute Academy, but you took the initiative to find the official and took care of the matter. ”
Although the examiner has great power, he is not able to cover the sky with one hand, so he also needs several fellow examiners to cooperate. At the beginning of the year. Fang Yingwu took advantage of the fact that Grandmaster Li was pressing the Yanzhou Mansion and secretly created a small riot. Then he took the opportunity to meet Grand Master Li, and reached a tacit agreement on the operation of several fellow examiners at that time.
Grand Master Li took a fancy to Fang Yingwu's background as a governor. Fang Yingwu took a fancy to Grandmaster Li's power as the chief examiner. In fact, Fang Yingwu is not fully sure, how can Wang Shu's temperament be easy to speak? But there is no other way to do it, so you can only accept it and take it one step at a time.
"I'm just trying to be cautious." Of course, Fang Yingwu couldn't show any signs of unreliability at this time, and he still seemed to be holding a wisdom pearl in his hand. In this matter, he didn't dare to take the initiative to find Wang Shu to open the back door, and he had been waiting for an opportunity.
It is still uncertain and affirmative, Li Shishi is very dissatisfied in his heart, and his tone is not so good. "If you can't do it, then the official can't help you."
Fang Yingwu couldn't help but slander a few words, being such a compulsive person, no wonder he was squeezed out of Zhishi in history, and under his resentment, he actually followed King Ning to rebel.
After seeing the Great Grandmaster, Fang Yingwu returned to Hangzhou City. Knowing that Wang Shu had sent someone to find him, Fang Yingwu secretly shouted, "It's finally here!" ”
He immediately went to the governor's office, and it took a long time from the northwest to the southeast of the city, and when he arrived, it was already night. But he was still taken to the inner study.
Wang Shu saw Fang Yingwu come in, and asked, "The list of examiners was handed over to Master Zhu by you?" ”
"Exactly."
Wang Shu reprimanded him with a slap on his face: "The township test is imminent, you don't concentrate on learning." But what is the reason for leashing the camp and drilling the camp outside the road? What should you do when you draw up candidates for the same examiner? ”
After he finished scolding, he added: "What would it look like if it was passed out!" It's not like words! ”
The subtext of this sentence is nothing more than "You don't have a long brain." actually gave the list to outsiders to do it, and he was not afraid of leaking the news! ”
But Wang Shu is not easy to say. Otherwise, it would seem that he encouraged Fang Yingwu to find himself and go through the back door, of course, he would definitely refuse to be strict with himself.
Fang Yingwu was not as flustered as the average junior after being scolded by his elders. It's very calm, as if I've just listened to a few common words.
After Wang Shu finished speaking, Fang Yingwu said unhurriedly: "Prince, you are wrong, this list was not drawn up by me, but given to me by the Great Grandmaster after knowing the relationship between you and me, Prince." ”
"So what?"
Fang Yingwu raised his eyelids, "The Great Grandmaster's order, do I dare to refuse?" What will happen if a candidate rejects the student who is in charge of the school administration, have you thought about it?
Anyway, I didn't dare to think about it, and I couldn't afford to take the risk, so I had to do it, take the list and drill the camp, and that's it. ”
Wang Shu was slightly stunned, he really didn't expect that there would be such a twist and turn in the middle.
In fact, Fang Yingwu played a little trick in the middle, telling the great master that his maternal grandfather was Wang Shu, and took the initiative to ask Ying to say that the matter could be left to him; And in front of Wang Shu, he said that this was given to him by the great grandmaster, and it was inconvenient to refuse.
Anyway, in officialdom, what is advocated for this kind of unspoken rule is tacit understanding, and what is important is knowing and not saying much. In the middle, there is a gray area where various brokers are active.
Unless the two are familiar and good to a very high degree, such as the point where the four major iron have prostituted together, it is generally impossible to break gong-to-gong and drum-to-drum in person to say things that can't be on the table.
Obviously, Grandmaster Li and Grandpa Wang were not so familiar with each other, and Fang Yingwu took advantage of such a loophole.
Wang Shu was stunned for a moment, and soon woke up, and continued to criticize Fang Yingwudao: "The gentleman is in righteousness, where righteousness lies, and he knows that he can't do it, which is your situation." How can you break your virtue so easily? If you can't stick to your nature, what can you do?"
Fang Yingwu listened to a few big truths head-on, but he couldn't retreat now. If you really want him to take the test with real skills like an ordinary candidate, it is better to kill him.
He couldn't help but interrupt Wang Shu's lesson, "There is no need for the prince to teach, now in the city of Hangzhou, who doesn't know that I sacrificed my life for righteousness." ”
Wang Shu was so angry that his beard trembled, "The relationship between you and Eunuch Li is unclear, others don't know, how can I not know?" Here, don't talk darkly! ”
"Anyway, everyone else does see it that way." Fang Yingwu requested: "Now that the matter is over, don't embarrass the boy and me, just follow this list." ”
Wang Shu laughed angrily, did Fang Yingwu order him? This kid went around the capital and went around the border. I've done a few things that are quite a big move, and I don't know how thick the sky is? Actually started to instruct yourself?
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became tense. There is a suffocating feeling.
"What? The prince refused to agree? Fang Yingwu sighed and had to make a move.
"I see. It seems that the prince doesn't want me to go to high school and make a name for myself. It's better to go back to Chun'an Mountain Township, make a living by farming and studying, and don't be born. ”
Fang Yingwu's words were like a sharp sword piercing directly into Wang Shu's heart. He was immediately furious, and shouted loudly: "Bastard thing! Where did this start, how could the old man be this kind of person! ”
Can Wang Shu not be angry? His daughter is Fang Yingwu's stepmother, and the relationship between stepmother and non-biological sister-in-law can be called one of the most sensitive interpersonal relationships in the world, which involves a series of complex issues such as family business, temple inheritance and competition.
At the same time, the relationship between the stepmother and the sister-in-law is also the relationship that is most likely to be suspected and criticized by outsiders. Fang Yingwu's words were heard in the ears of others. I don't know what to think of him! I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly!
Could it be that he really helped his daughter suppress the villain who was not his biological grandson? Definitely not! Wang Shu stared at Fang Yingwu, with a thousand words but didn't know where to start.
Although he had no choice but to do so, he was forced to do everything he could, but those words turned his weak position into a moral advantage, which made Fang Yingwu, a high-ranking person, a little ashamed. He didn't dare to look at Old Man Wang, so he had to turn his gaze to the door.
After being silent for a long time, Wang Shu spoke: "The old man finally understood, no wonder you didn't give me the list directly, but took it out through Lord Zhu's hand."
If Fang Yingwu directly gave him the list, and he refused unkindly. It's still a matter between two people, nothing else.
But now that Lord Zhu has changed his hand, if he Wang Shu is still unsympathetic, it may trigger the association of a third party.
In the eyes of a normal person. My grandson came to the door, and this kind of small favor that does not affect the overall situation is probably to help. This is human nature. But if you don't help, then there must be some reason to blame
So Wang Shu completely understood. It's not Fang Yingwu who is really worried about leaking the news, but himself!
I rejected Fang Yingwu. Then it is possible to spread vaguely the rumors that Wang Shu suppressed his non-biological grandson and helped his daughter to reject her husband's ex-wife and son-in-law.
If Fang Yingwu is really angry and frustrated, he acts as a victim and takes the initiative to bite. That's 100% sure that rumors are not possible, but ironclad.
Thinking of this, Wang Shu sighed: "Why are you so bothered, you should know that the old man doesn't have that kind of mind." ”
At a young age, with such a deep scheming, he can make the most of his own conditions Although Wang Shu doesn't like such people, he has to admit that this grandson is more than enough to be an official, and he may even be higher than his son-in-law Fang Qingzhi's achievements.
Fang Yingwu saluted respectfully and said: "Actually, you have nothing to embarrass the prince, the ancients are cloudy, and the virtuous do not avoid relatives." Now whether in the government or in the opposition, I can barely be regarded as a virtuous boy, and now I have a slight name. Serving the country is the proper meaning, why stick to some subsections?
I dare to assert that even if I am in high school this time, no one in Shilin will say that the prince is favoritism and open the back door. On the contrary, they all think that I deserve to be promoted, not worth being surprised, and there is no damage to your reputation in the slightest. ”
Fang Da Xiucai's implication is nothing more than that: I have thought about your old man enough, and now I have brushed my reputation to this point, and no one will say that you are not. You just need to push the boat down the river, where else can you find such a worry-free grandson?
Wang Shu closed his eyes and sighed, he has been an official for 30 years, and he thinks that the country is for the people and is just and selfless, which has won the admiration of the people. Now that he has reached the realm of detachment without desire, he has no flaws in his heart.
But today I learned that he still can't escape a "name". Fang Yingwu's childish threat actually broke his state of mind.
"You go down, the old man has his own plans." Wang Shu waved his hand to send off the guests. (To be continued......)
