Later, Jiao Fang asked Li Xian for knowledge very modestly, and Li Xian told him, in fact, when you have fame, there is no need to feel inferior. If you are interested in pleasing others, it is hypocritical. You can be generous. Later, Li Fang said that he was just a helpless student, too shallow to show off in front of adults, so he had to ask adults sincerely, which was not hypocritical. I didn't expect Li Xian to really believe what he said, and I was very happy. I think he is a good man, so I recommended Jiao Fang to him, hoping to give him a higher position.
Later, with the help of Li Xian, Jiao Fang gradually gained a foothold in officialdom. At this time, he no longer needs to pretend to be hypocritical, and gradually reveals the face of the villain. He even told his friends directly that officialdom has always been ruthless, and it is absolutely impossible to be honest and clean. Moreover, Li Xian is of no use to him now, and he needs to find a new patron as soon as possible. His friends were very shocked by his behavior. Fang said bluntly that if you betray like this, others will scold you for being ungrateful. It's cruel to do so, but I didn't expect Jiao Fang to persuade his friends to relax. In officialdom, he always only recognizes power but not affection.
I didn't think a villain like him would have any good results. I didn't expect Jiao Fang's skill to be brilliant, and then he was promoted step by step. In fact, there are many such people in the society now. They used the back door and relatives to get a very good position, which is a far cry from some people who struggled on their own. After Jiao Fang found new supporters, he even openly opposed Li Xian. His painstaking efforts finally reached the period of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty, and he was promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.
