His tone sounded like he was discussing with Fan You in a good-natured manner, even a bit like a request.
Even the content of what he said sounded a bit condescending.
However, if you think about the current status of the Minister of Revenue in the imperial court and the huge Ganquan Academy system behind him, what he said is a bit creepy.
Even Shilang Fan, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, felt uncomfortable all over now.
Hearing Fan Shilang's words, Zhao Changping looked at the former with a smile, still smiling: "It turns out that Fan Shilang doesn't know about Jiangdu. I just received a letter from an old friend. Zhao thought it was something I did wrong in the academy."
, made Shilang Fan unhappy, and Shilang Fan wanted to take down the signboard of our academy."
"How dare you..."
Hearing Zhao Changping's harsh words, Fan Tong quickly stood up, cupped his hands in front of Zhao Changping, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Zhao's words really confused Fan. Fan is from Jiangdu, although there was no one in that year.
Fu entered the academy to study, but he has always been proud of Ganquan Academy. In the past few years, the seven sons of Ganquan became famous all over the world in the scientific examination. Fan was also proud of it for a long time. When he met everyone, he called himself a Jiangdu native. Fan..."
"Fan has never had any disagreements with the academy, let alone any thoughts of demolishing the academy."
He looked serious and said in a deep voice: "There must be some misunderstanding. Please tell me, Brother Zhao. If any of the younger students in the family offend the academy, Fan will go back to his hometown in person and bring the younger generation to visit the academy in person."
apologize!"
The Ganquan sect is not something to be trifled with...
Zhao Changping, the Minister of Household Affairs in front of me, is okay. The key is that Ganquan Academy has been full of talents in the past few years. Especially fourteen years ago, Ganquan Academy had seven Jinshi in the first scientific examination, making this academy in Jiangdu famous all over the world.
, for a time many outsiders tried their best to send their children to academies.
And the seven Ganquan sons who were selected as Jinshi fourteen years ago are now serving in the court. As Jinshi, they have fourteen years of "official age", which means that these people are currently the backbone of the court and have been promoted very quickly.
He is about to reach the position of Liubu Shilang or Dajiuqing. He has been promoted slowly and is now almost at the level of local prefect!
With the presence of these backbones, it is guaranteed that the Ganquan Academy faction will have a solid and unshakable position in the Chen court for at least the next ten or even twenty years!
It is precisely because of the huge power of the "Ganquan Sect" that the Fan family asked Fan Dongcheng to get close to Master Lu's only daughter, hoping to get close to the Ganquan Sect so that they could help each other in the court.
It's just that Fan Dongcheng, the only son of the Fan family, is used to being arrogant in Jiangdu. He has never suffered any loss since he was a child. Even when he beat Chen Qing to death last time, he didn't do anything to him. In the end, Mr. Fan
He became more and more unscrupulous in his actions. In order to mess with Shen Yi, he even set fire to the academy!
The most important thing for an academy is its reputation.
The most important or the only factor that makes Ganquan Academy famous all over the world is that Ganquan Academy has good scientific examination results. The scientific examination results are the foundation of Ganquan Academy!
If... if the students at Ganquan Academy were informed that the county examination fraud was true, then did Mr. Lu, Zhao Changping and other Jinshis cheat?
Did the world-famous Ganquan Seven Sons cheat?
What is core interest? This is core interest!
Once this core interest is touched, even Mr. Lu, who has an uncontroversial character, will immediately write to Zhao Changping and seek help from Zhao Shilang!
And the usually calm Minister Zhao would come to Fan Mansion in person in the middle of the night to ask for an explanation from Minister Fan!
"It turns out that Brother Fan didn't know about it."
Zhao Changping stood up silently, glanced at Fan You lightly, and said with a smile: "Since Minister Fan doesn't know about it, then this matter is just children's nonsense, so it will be much easier to handle."
Seeing Zhao Changping relent, Fan You was also relieved. He looked at Zhao Changping and said in a deep voice: "Since Brother Zhao is here tonight, he has betrayed Fan. I beg Brother Zhao to explain clearly what happened. Fan will definitely give Brother Zhao
, give the academy an explanation!"
Zhao Changping's willingness to come to Fan's house shows that he has no intention of falling out with the Fan family directly, and there is still room for negotiation between the two parties.
If there was really that kind of irreconcilable conflict, Zhao Changping would not even say a word to Minister Fan, not to mention coming to Fan's house in person. At that time, the real battle would be fought with a bayonet.
Zhao Changping smiled at Fan Li and said: "Some words are not convenient to say openly, and it would be meaningless to say them clearly. Zhao can only tell Brother Fan that your nephew and nephew from the Fan family want to show his face to the academy.
They are trying to discredit me and want to tear down the signboard of my Ganquan Academy which has been built for more than a hundred years."
Fan Shilang's face was serious. He looked at Zhao Changping and said slowly: "Brother Zhao said this, I know it in my heart. It just so happens that the errands of the Ministry of Punishment are not as heavy as before. Tomorrow, Fan will apply for leave to the Minister and the Ministry of Personnel.
Returning to my hometown to visit relatives."
"This is Brother Fan's family matter, I don't care about it."
Zhao Changping glanced at Fan You with a smile and said, "I just hope that after Brother Fan returns to his hometown, he will not use his influence to bully our academy again."
"How dare you do this?"
Fan Tong also stood up, with a serious look on his face: "Ganquan Academy is where our Jiangdu culture and vitality lies. As a Jiangdu native, we will never cut off Jiangdu's cultural heritage!"
"With Brother Fan's words, I feel relieved."
Zhao Changping cupped his hands towards Fan You and said, "I hope this matter is just a child's nonsense, and it will stop at a child's nonsense."
What he said was quite profound, and since Fan Shilang was in this position, he could naturally hear the agility in his words. He immediately replied: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, this matter must be just a kid's nonsense."
When the two ministers said this, the matter had been "characterized".
Zhao Changping still had a smile on his face and said goodbye to Minister Fan: "I'm sorry for bothering you late at night. I apologize for any offence. I'll take my leave now."
"Don't dare."
Fan Tong raised his hand and said, "I'll give it to Brother Zhao."
In this way, Minister Fan took Minister Zhao all the way to the door of his house, and then stood at the door, watching Zhao Changping's carriage go away. Only after Zhao Changping's carriage gradually disappeared, did the smile on the face of the Minister of Justice completely
Disappear.
His face was frosty.
"Here comes someone."
An old servant of the Fan family immediately trotted all the way and came to Fan Shilang. He bowed his head deeply to Fan Shilang and said, "Prepare the car and leave back to Jiangdu tomorrow morning."
The old servant said "Ah", obviously a little surprised, then he looked at Fan Shilang, lowered his head slightly and asked: "Master, should you go back alone, or should you go back with your wife and young masters?"
"I'll go back by myself."
Fan Shilang had a cold face and glared at the old servant.
"I really thought the master was going home to visit relatives!"
The old servant was startled and quickly bowed to Fan Shilang and went down to prepare.
After the old servant left, Fan Shilang still had a dark face.
He was in a very bad mood.
Your Majesty is in charge of the government, and the imperial inspection is imminent. In this year and a half, there will definitely be a lot of personnel changes in the court, but it is at this juncture!
Thinking of this, Fan Shilang took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, and returned to his study.
He sat on the main seat in the study, sharpened his ink, picked up his pen, and began to write a letter.
