Fang Jun followed the chamberlain and walked out of the Tai Chi Hall through the back door cautiously. As soon as he walked out, he met Li Junxian, the "god of injustice" whom he had not seen for a long time.
This man is wearing leather armor, a red cloak, his sword-shaped eyebrows are flying, and his tiger eyes are full of power. He looks a bit heroic.
It's just a pity that my life is not good... Fang Jun clicked his tongue and sighed in his heart.
Li Junxian came up to meet him and waved to the waiter: "You can go back now. I will give you a gift and send the second man to the room."
The chamberlain was a little frightened when facing this close minister of His Majesty who was in charge of the "Hundred Cavalry". Hearing this, he bowed with a slightly nervous smile, turned around and walked away.
Fang Jungong raised his hand and said, "Thank you, General Li."
Li Junxian smiled heartily: "It's such an honor to have the honor of traveling with such a great talent. Haha, please!"
Fang Jun smiled bitterly and touched his nose. He couldn't tell whether this person was complimenting or sarcasm, so he had no choice but to say nothing and follow him towards the palace gate.
The snow in the palace has long been cleared away, and the smooth and flat bluestone slabs underfoot reflect the red lanterns hanging on the high walls of the palace, giving it a faint blush.
The majestic Tai Chi Palace is hidden from sight by the halo emitted by these red lanterns, suddenly showing a mysterious and depressing aura.
The banquet in the main hall is still going on, and the palace maids and chambermaids who pass by from time to time to serve food and drinks are all in a hurry. When they see Li Junxian and Fang Jun, they will respectfully step aside.
Li Junxian held the handle of the horizontal knife on his waist, staggered slightly and walked in front of Fang Jun. He turned around and said with a smile: "Erlang is really good at it. We haven't seen each other for a few days, and he is already a marquis? Wait until tomorrow to give it to me."
With the seal and ribbon of the ceremonial guard, someone has to address himself as Marquis and salute respectfully!"
"Alas~" Fang Jun waved his hand and said casually: "This cheap marquis is easy to get, so he doesn't have much weight. Who will take it seriously? He just has an official status and can earn a salary from the court. It's not appropriate.
It’s not a problem, it’s not a problem!”
Fang Jun was very confused about Li Junxian.
On the one hand, this person is indeed very popular with His Majesty Li Er, as can be seen from his ability to take charge of the "Hundred Cavalry". His Majesty Li Er has great trust in him and relies on him as his eyes and ears. But on the other hand, because of Fang Jun's "unpredictable"
Knowing Li Junxian's tragic ending in the future, he also understood that even befriending this person would be of little use.
But in fact, Fang Jun had a very good impression of Li Junxian. Although this person was in the heart of the emperor and held real power, he was neither arrogant nor impetuous. He was a well-rounded person and was a good friend.
Li Junxian smiled meaningfully: "Some people may not like this Marquis, but Erlang, you have an official position, but many people are jealous..."
Fang Jun was slightly surprised. The official position of Minister of Industry was just conferred by His Majesty Li Er in the back hall of Taiji Hall. At that time, there was no one else but an old eunuch. How did Li Junxian know about it so quickly?
After a second thought, I realized that His Majesty Li Er had prepared this a long time ago!
In other words, even if he did not have the secret seal and did not make great contributions to Qingzhou, even if he really offended King Li Tai of Wei, he would still be the so-called minister of the Ministry of Industry.
To put it another way, it means that the merits of Qingzhou just happened to hit His Majesty Li Er's anger, and it was so gorgeous that it was all in vain...
Thinking of this, Fang Jun was so depressed that he almost vomited blood...
It's all my father's fault. He had to force himself to go to the palace overnight to present this secret, but he was at a huge loss!
But the meaning behind Li Junxian's words...
"He's just a minister of the Ministry of Industry, who would be jealous?" Fang Jun asked strangely.
"Ahem... Minister of Industry... just?"
Li Junxian almost choked to death on his own saliva when he heard this, and looked at Fang Jun with a strange expression.
Fang Jun was a little confused: "Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is he a very big official?"
It's no wonder that he doesn't care about this official position. In fact, judging from the historical knowledge in his previous life and the "vulgar" experience in this life, this official is really not that good.
why?
First of all, this Ministry of Industry is not a popular place.
The six departments of the imperial court, including officials, households, rituals, soldiers, and punishments, were generally ranked in order throughout the dynasties.
The Ministry of Personnel, which is in charge of personnel promotion, is the most important, followed by the Ministry of Household, which is in charge of money and food, and the Ministry of Work, which is in charge of engineering and construction.
No matter how you look at it, it is a place at the bottom, and this is the Tang Dynasty. There are no national large-scale real estate developments, so what can the Ministry of Industry do?
Li Junxian twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a meaningful smile: "Haha..."
Being laughed at...
Fang Jun was a little unhappy and asked with a sullen face: "Isn't the Ministry of Industry still a good place? It doesn't have personnel power, it can't hold the money bag, and it can't command the army. Even when it comes to building houses and gardening, there are still many people fighting for it.
Can’t we go?”
Li Junxian thought for a while and felt that he should mention something about this stupid boy with whom he was quite friendly: "Erlang went to the Ministry of Industry and what the specific division of labor was. I don't know, but I heard something. His Highness the King of Wei had just transferred himself
His confidant was given the position of Minister..."
Fang Jun was stunned: "Your Majesty wants someone to replace His Highness the King of Wei?"
Li Junxian explained: "No, each of the six departments originally only had one Minister of Secretariat, but your appointment as Erlang was given by His Majesty Chrysostom, and the original Minister was not mentioned, so you are particularly merciful and ranked alongside the original one."
…”
After saying this, he rubbed his face and said rather speechlessly: "Besides, even if he is at the bottom of the Ministry of Industry, he is still a minister, the deputy of the Six Ministers, and you seem to be quite disgusted with it?"
When Li Junxian said this, Fang Jun was also a little surprised.
Damn it! He has never had a clear understanding of official positions in ancient times. Originally, Fang Yiai was also stupid and just waited for death. He only knew about prime ministers, ministers, generals and the like. Thinking about it this way, it seems that
Is he also a senior official at the department level?
In my previous life, I relied on a good diploma to work more than an ox and sleep less than a dog. I worked hard all day to win over my subordinates, flatter my superiors, scheming with each other, and flattering others. After struggling for many years, I was just a deputy county level official.
The official.
But this reincarnation, the one who is confused is the director level...
In my heart, I feel the joy of ascending to a high position, as well as the trance in a dream, and the confusion of the collapse of values...
I don’t know what it feels like.
While he was talking, the palace gate was already in sight.
A chamberlain suddenly walked out of a dark passage between palaces, stood on the roadside, and said respectfully: "Fang Erlang, stay here. Concubine Yang has invited you."
Fang Jun and the other two stopped.
Li Junxian frowned slightly, glanced at Fang Jun, and hesitated to speak, as if he was quite surprised by the invitation from Concubine Yang.
Fang Junze asked blankly: "Who is Concubine Yang?"
Fang Jun lacked sufficient understanding of His Majesty Li Er's powerful harem, both in his past and present lives.
The waiter said respectfully: "Hui Erlang, it's His Highness King Wu's biological mother, Concubine Yang!"
Fang Jun suddenly realized.
Li Ke’s mother? Isn’t that the daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty?
Why does she want to see him?
Maybe he knew that he had a good relationship with Li Ke, so he got close to each other. What should he give as a reward?
But no matter what, if the imperial concubine invites you, it will be impossible not to go.
Fang Jun then said: "General Li, please do as you please. I will go with this father-in-law to see Concubine Yang."
"Erlang is leaving. In his spare time, I will go back to my house to ask for a drink. I hope Erlang will not blame someone for causing trouble." Li Junxian's eyes flashed, indicating something.
Fang Jun's heart moved. Although he didn't know what he meant, he still received the kindness, so he smiled and said: "I wish you could do it! Just as it happens, a certain farm has newly brewed a kind of liquor, which is as mellow as fire and has a long aftertaste. I will invite my brother to try it when the time comes. Try it and get drunk before you stop!"
Li Junxian laughed: "It's a deal! If someone is going to be delayed, go quickly."
After saying this, he slightly cupped his hands and returned the way he came.
Fang Jun then raised his hands to the chamberlain and said, "Please, father-in-law, lead the way."
The waiter had no expression on his face and turned slightly sideways: "Please!"
First, go to a dark corridor next to Tai Chi Hall.
Young Master Xu said
It’s ten o’clock to go home again... I’ve really been out of control lately, it’s become a problem. There’s nothing I can do about it. Please be generous and bear with me. I’ll update stably after the 12th.
