Chapter 788 Fang Renshu Enters the Court
Fang Renshu was extremely surprised and couldn't believe it.
"Ah? This..."
The shock was so great that she didn't have time to think about it and blurted out the question.
"Father was able to get a job at Beizhaotai because he was the least talented?"
Fang Lang sat in a high-handed position.
"Otherwise, what do you think?"
Fang Renshu felt small, helpless, timid and speechless.
"I……"
Fang Lang pretended to be kind, but his words were extremely sharp.
"My words may be foolish, but I have good intentions. I hope Shuer can recognize the reality."
"From the beginning to the end, your father was the dumbest one."
"I guess he often brags to you about how outstanding he was and how he stood out from the crowd back then? Haha, it's ridiculous."
"Most of his achievements come from us behind the scenes."
He glanced at Fang Che and started to scold him like an elder brother.
"Third brother, how could you forget your family's kindness and deceive these good children?"
"I am not exposing your shortcomings in public. It is because you are ignorant. I must teach you a lesson."
"Brother..."
Fang Che interrupted him angrily.
"Are you endless?"
"Have I ever forgotten the kindness?"
"How can you pretend not to know, second brother? Why did I lie to you? Is it because I am too proud? Is it because I can't let go of my pride?"
"This is the family rule. We cannot tell the children about the Fang clan's method of selecting talents, lest they have crooked ideas and undermine fairness and justice."
"Second brother, asking such a question is really disrespectful to your elders and ancestors!"
Fang Lang’s majesty awes everyone.
"Don't put the blame on me. You keep saying family rules. Do you know the rules? How dare you talk back to your brother?"
Fang Che was dismissive and responded casually.
"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong."
He turned to his beloved nephew Fang Linhao, put on a kind look, and gave him tart instructions.
"Why are you so surprised, Hao'er? If I'm not mistaken, you are also surprised by the selection method, right?"
"Thinking back to those days, your father performed well and ranked among the top. I still remember his smug look on his face."
"Now, you are so disappointing, and it is indeed embarrassing for him, but don't worry, your father is generous and definitely not the kind of person who cares about every penny. He will definitely understand your difficulties."
In the face of courtesy, Fang Linhao could only reply respectfully.
"Thank you for your comfort, Third Uncle. I am very grateful."
Fang Che was still not satisfied and continued to mock.
"What if, I mean, what if, my second brother can't control his temper and gets angry at you."
"My dear nephew, don't worry. Just come to my house. Your uncle will protect you."
Fang Linhao forced a smile.
"Yes, nephew, obey your command."
Fang Che seized the opportunity and made use of it.
"You agreed, what do you mean?"
"So you also think that, in case of any accident, your father has a bad temper and bad character?"
Fang Linhao was shocked and at a loss.
"Ah I……"
Unable to bear seeing his beloved son suffer injustice, Fang Lang angrily turned to his third brother and asked with gritted teeth.
"Is it fun for you to embarrass the child?"
Fang Che pretended to be alert.
"I think I got it mixed up, it seems like it was the elder brother who made things difficult for the child first? As the saying goes, the younger brother admires his talent and wants to learn from him."
"Brother, why are you so angry? Did I do something wrong?"
Fang Lang refused to admit it.
"When did I embarrass a child? Which child did I embarrass? Third brother, you slandered me. I can report you to Yin Sitai and teach you a lesson."
Fang was completely angry.
"Brother, you made things difficult for my Shu'er. Everyone saw it. How could I slander you? If you rashly go to Yin Sitai, I will definitely sue you for defamation."
He turned to his fourth sister and asked her in various ways who she loved.
"Fourth sister, are you willing to be my witness?"
Fang Lang followed closely and asked the fourth sister.
"This person has no manners and is disrespectful to his brother. Fourth sister, are you willing to be my witness?"
Fang Lingyi's eyes were filled with sorrow and she was in great pain.
"Why are you two brothers being awkward and blaming me?"
"We are a family, why are we angry? I am very scared, please calm down, brothers."
When Fang Lang got the chance to talk, he took advantage of the situation to elaborate on it.
"My fourth sister had the worst medical skills back then, but she worked in the Imperial Hospital, and was once rated as the dumbest person in the Fang family. Now, she has raised Qin'er, and can be considered proud of herself. She is not like some people who think that their whole family is dumb and cannot be changed."
"Third brother, let me ask you something uninteresting. The next generation of people entering the court will not also come from your family, right?"
Fang Che was so angry that he was speechless.
"you……"
Fang Lingxiang severely stopped it.
"Have you had enough of the quarrel? It's fun for brothers to quarrel and argue in public, isn't it?"
"Punish according to the family rules. Go, kneel down and reflect on yourself."
Fang Lang and Fang Che obeyed, walked to the side, and knelt respectfully.
"As you command."
Fang Lingxiang emphasized this sentence deliberately.
"This is the behavior of a mean person. Children must take this as a warning and never learn from it."
A group of young people responded.
"Yes."
Historically, people from the Fang clan were all recommended by the emperor to participate in the Shengjing Prefecture Examination.
Emperor Yan Zhengxuan met Fang Linhao and Fang Renshu and had a deep conversation with them. He was particularly satisfied and immediately recommended them to take the imperial examination.
In order to reserve a position for Yu, Fang Che was rewarded for his meritorious service, and was named Taiqing, commanding a group of civil officials.
The head of the Imperial Medical Bureau requires certain qualifications. Therefore, Fang Lingyi did not resign and continued to serve in the court, waiting for the right time to help Fang Linhao get promoted.
A few days later, the provincial governor held a joint examination.
With his extraordinary wisdom and foresight, Fang Renshu passed the imperial examination and was appointed as the Prime Minister of Beizhao.
With his extraordinary medical skills and the art of bringing the dead back to life, Fang Linhao was hired by the Imperial Medical Bureau and became the youngest imperial physician in the hospital.
The members of the Fang clan worked together to help the two of them achieve success and gain a reputation in the court.
Afterwards, Fang Renshu and Yun Boyu fell in love at first sight, asked for an imperial decree to marry them, and held a wedding ceremony. Once the news came out, the world was shocked.
Yan Zheng attached great importance to the emperor's second son, Prince Yu Yan Yumo, and favored him and issued an edict to allow him to take in retainers. He also designated Fang Renshu as the head of his civil officials and Yun Boyu as the head of his military officials to assist him in controlling the situation in the court.
At the same time, Gu Mengzhen, Zhong Jian and others quietly joined the First Prince. Gu Mengzhen said that in order to overthrow Prince Yu, they must first find ways to lurk beside Prince Yu, and then cooperate with the First Prince to succeed.
Surrendering suddenly without any warning would easily arouse suspicion. Therefore, Gu Mengzhen and Zhong Jian did everything they could to attract Prince Yu's attention and get him to take the initiative to recruit talents.
At the same time, Yan Yumo adopted Fang Clan's plan and tried hard to learn Zhuang Shao's tone and get close to Zhuang Shao's personality in order to deal with Gu Mengzhen.
With a call of "Brother Gu", the two expressed their friendship to each other. Gu Mengzhen was sincere and gave Yan Yumo the friendship he had always longed for; Yan Yumo looked like Zhuang Shao, but also had some of Zhuang Zhe's tenderness. Gu Mengzhen was deeply relieved after temporarily relieving his deep thoughts.
The Lin and Fang families have been friends for generations; Lin Ranhua and Fang Renshu grew up together and are close friends.
Seeing that Yan Yumo's attitude towards Gu Mengzhen was suspicious and he cherished her very much, Lin Ranhua immediately went to see Fang Renshu to inform him of the situation.
Fang Renshu listened carefully, went back home to report, and asked the elders for advice.
In order to "wake up" Yan Yumo, Lin Ranhua and the Fang clan tried their best, but Yan Yumo was too obsessed and would not listen no matter what they did.
For a time, there was a deadlock.
