dream of red mansion

Chapter 47 Fang Yunchu and Sun Xingzhi

In Sun Wangwang's office room.

Fang Shou and Sun Wangwang sat opposite each other, drinking tea together.

Sun Fuwang looked at his old friend who was already showing signs of aging, and asked: "This time the emperor summoned Brother Yunchu, do you have any instructions for returning to the capital?"

Fang Shou smiled slightly and said: "The emperor didn't say much when he summoned me a while ago, but he just expressed his condolences to me and told me to go back to the mansion to have a good rest, saying that there will be some errands for me to do soon."

What errand needs to recall an old friend back to the capital?There are a large number of Jinshi in the Hanlin Academy who have nowhere to go, and with the reputation of old friends, ordinary positions are definitely not suitable.Suddenly recalling the rumors he heard a few days ago, Sun Fuwang's heart skipped a beat.

"Perhaps Brother Yunchu's chance to become famous is coming soon!"

Fang Shou shook his head and said: "Half of your body is going to be buried in the ground and you are talking about success and fame. Don't make fun of me if you do it."

"How is it a joke, brother Yunchu, do you know that there was a discussion in the court a few years ago about re-election of a minister?"

Fang Shou asked curiously, "Oh? I heard that there are already four people in the cabinet. Why do we need to discuss who will join the cabinet?"

Sun looked forward and said: "Brother Yunchu doesn't know something. Since Liu Yong resigned as the chief assistant, he was promoted by the second assistant. Although he also promoted Cui Wenlong, then Minister of the Household Department, into the cabinet after he ascended the throne, but after all, his reputation and None of their qualifications can compare with the previous three..."

Fang Shou was silent when he heard the words, why he didn't understand when he said this, remembering the scene when the emperor summoned him, although he didn't say it clearly, he thought about it.

Once you enter the cabinet, you will reach the peak of being a minister, which is an opportunity that every civil servant dreams of.It's just that the emperor allowed him to join the cabinet at this time, so it is inevitable that he will be suspected of seizing power for him.Those three humerus ministers were reused by the Supreme Emperor when he was in power. Liu Yong's abdication can be regarded as a great embarrassment to Jinshang, but the remaining three are not simple roles. If he is called into the cabinet by Jinshang , will inevitably divide their rights.

Will the Supreme Emperor agree?
The struggle for imperial power has been cruel since ancient times, can I wade through this muddy water?

Sun Fu looked at Fang Shou in front of him and understood what he was thinking, but he felt that it was unnecessary, so he persuaded: "Brother Yunchu, why worry too much, it's fine if the emperor doesn't have such thoughts, but if you order you to enter Pavilion, can you still not follow, Brother Yunchu?
As for the so-called struggle for imperial power, brother Yunchu only needs to stick to the way of a courtier, and it will not be a big problem, and he can even take advantage of his healthy body to make use of his spare heat to make a career. "

Fang Shou listened and said: "As brother Xing said, this is Fang being hypocritical. If it is true as brother Xing guessed, then I will have to bother brother Xing a lot in the future, and then don't hate me. eventful."

Sun Fuwang smiled and said, "I can't ask for it!"

"Okay, it's getting late, so I'll go back home first. Oh, by the way, I didn't worry about Brother Xing's difficulties in front of the students before, so please forgive me if I offended you."

Sun Fuwang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't know you yet? It hasn't changed for so many years, besides, if you save me face in this matter, then you are not Fang Yunchu!"

"Haha, Brother Xing understands me!"

Then Sun Wangwang sent Fang Shou out of the Imperial College.

Sitting in his carriage, Fang Shou lifted the curtain and said to his long follower Sun Rong, "Please ask me about someone. To be precise, it is a child named Jia Qing, who is about ten years old."

Sun Rong said: "But the supervisor in the Imperial College?"

"Exactly! But he should be easy to inquire about. He seems to be quite famous. Remember to inquire more clearly and come back to me at night." Fang Shou said and put back the curtain.

……

In Jia Qing's dormitory, Wang Shun was bored. When he saw Jia Qing came back, he was overjoyed and said, "Second Master, you are back. I'm almost bored to death."

"You won't go out for a walk when you're bored, why stay in the house?"

Speaking of the book boy, Jia Qing originally didn't want to bring him along.Does he still need someone to take care of him?No, it should be said: Does he still need a man to take care of him?It's almost the same as changing a maid!
But Jia Jing said that he was too young and insisted that he bring a servant by his side so that he could take care of him.In desperation, Jia Qing had no choice but to bring Wang Shun.

Thinking that from then on, he could only sleep in the same room with a man every day, and would no longer have the good life in Yipintang, Jia Qing was very upset, walked to his bed, fell down, and lay still on the bed He said in the mouth: "I'm exhausted after standing all day, I want to sleep well, you can find a place to play by yourself."

Wang Shun said: "It's time for dinner, the second master should eat before going to bed."

"No, just bring me something to eat..." Jia Qing murmured.

Seeing that Jia Qing was really sleepy, Wang Shun stopped talking, walked out of the room, closed the door gently, and went to the dining hall to prepare food for Jia Qing.

……

"Hou Hu, are you sure Jia Qing lives here?"

Outside Jia Qing's dormitory, a young man and two teenagers walked over slowly, and one of the teenagers asked Hou Hu beside him.

"Of course, it took me a lot of work to get his dormitory number from Mr. Liban... Jiaxu... Jiaxu, look, isn't it here?" Hou Hu looked at the dormitory room number in front of him. , suddenly his eyes lit up, he pointed at Jia Qing's room and shouted, and quickly stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Brother Jia, Brother Jia, let's go out for a drink together!"

Jia Qing fell into a drowsy sleep, and suddenly heard someone calling him, turned over and ignored him, and continued to sleep.

Hou Hu outside knocked twice and found that the door was not closed, so he simply pushed the door open and walked into Jia Qing's room by himself.

The sound of opening the door and the suddenly brightening light woke Jia Qing up, opened his eyes and saw a person coming in from the door, Jia Qing wrinkled his sleepy eyes and asked, "Who is it?"

"Brother Jia, it's me. I'm Hou Hu, the one who looks more handsome than you."

Hearing such shameless words, Jia Qing finally came to his senses, and saw clearly that this guy who entered without invitation was the funny boy Hou Hu he met during the entrance exam.

Jia Qing said angrily, "What are you doing here? I still have to sleep!"

Hou Hu sat down on the edge of Jia Qing's bed at once, pulled up Jia Qing's quilt and said, "Why do you sleep on such a good day? Tomorrow is the official class. Why don't you go out and have fun before now?"

Jia Qing didn't really want to go, but this guy made him sleepy all over. Just at this time, Wang Shun also came back with food, so he got up too.

There was nothing to clean up, so he walked out of the dormitory with Hou Hu, and saw two people standing outside.

"Brother Jia, let me introduce you. This one is Brother Xie Guowei from Dingcheng Houfu, who is in Class A and Two; this one is Brother Qi Chengwu from Xiangyang Houfu, who happens to be in the same class as me."

After introducing Jia Qing, Hou Hu pointed to Jia Qing again and said, "He is the famous Brother Jia Qing!"

Jia Qing bowed to the two of them and said: "Young brother, how can you be considered famous? Brother Hou is just joking. It's my fault that you let the two of you wait outside."

Xie Guowei said: "Brother Jia, why be polite, you and I are family friends, and now we are lucky to meet in the academy, it is also fate. From now on, we should be called brothers. Brother Jia is not like this."

Hou Hu also said: "Brother Xie is right. From now on we shall be called brothers."

Jia Qing had no choice but to nod in agreement when he heard the words, so they left the Imperial College and headed for Shunde Square together.

After leaving the Imperial College, Hou Hu asked Jia Qing mysteriously: "Brother Jia, have you ever been to the place of fireworks?"
