Chu Yanfu felt that his IQ had been insulted and cursed: "This Ma Zhou is too bad!"
Fortunately, when I was in Jingzhao Mansion just now, I was grateful for Ma Zhou's reminder. Since I was completely fooled by others, I just waited for him to go home obediently, and then ceased operations like those sixteen booksellers.
At least that's what it looks like from the outside, which makes the Chu family look like they are in the same group as those sixteen booksellers in the eyes of others...
No matter what those sixteen booksellers are planning, the Chu family may not be able to escape the suspicion of being "the same species."
What the emperor hates the most and hates the most is for aristocratic families to unite to fight against the imperial power. The Chu family was originally close to the Guanlong nobles headed by the eldest grandson family. Now if the emperor thinks that the Chu family is planning together with the sixteen booksellers,
What kind of "conspiracy" and what would you think of Chu Suiliang?
Invisibly, a hole was dug for Chu Suiliang.
If Chu Suiliang was a little vague and careless, and fell into it without knowing it, the sixteen booksellers would exclude the Chu family, and Chu Suiliang would be suspected by the emperor of being in the same group with those sixteen booksellers. The result would be that the inside and outside
not human……
No wonder Chu Yanfu was so angry and cursed.
Chu Suiliang sighed softly, his son's qualifications are limited, and he always looks at people and things superficially, so what can he do?
"My son should broaden his horizons. There is no absolute good or evil in this world, let alone in the officialdom. If it is beneficial to me today, you will be my ally; if there is a conflict of interest tomorrow, you will be my political enemy. Today's Horse
Zhou is designing for you, and you are angry in your heart, but you cannot regard it as an enemy. Tomorrow, Ma Zhou will show you kindness, and you are grateful in your heart, but you cannot regard it as a benefactor. In everything, you must weigh the pros and cons before speaking.
If you can't keep this calm, you won't have to set foot in this officialdom. You can just go back to your hometown to work as a farmer..."
This was Chu Suiliang's experience in officialdom for half his life. He taught him tirelessly, but how much his son could understand was beyond his control.
These words are indeed spoken from the bottom of my heart. If you can't distinguish the entanglements of interests in the officialdom, and can't distinguish between advancement and retreat, and can't see the trade-offs, then simply go back to your hometown and roam in the woods, study and farm in your spare time. Although it is a bit useless, at least it is not
As for bringing harm to the family and the descendants...
Chu Yanfu looked unhappy: "According to my father's wishes, if Fang Jun's servant is beneficial to me tomorrow, I have to clear up all the past grudges and make excuses for him?"
Chu Suiliang nodded and said: "It's just like this, and it's not just a matter of killing father and son, so what's the big deal?"
Chu Yanfu opened his mouth, looking aggrieved.
In his opinion, if a man is established in heaven and earth, if he cannot be happy with his grudges, what is the point of his life?
Going against one's heart for a little benefit is not something Chu Dalang, an upright man, can do!
Rolling his eyes, Chu Yanfu changed the subject and asked: "In my father's opinion, how should we deal with it now?"
Chu Suiliang said: "This petition is well written, clear and well-organized, and the handwriting is excellent. I will copy it again later and send it to Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow morning. I will also go to Ma Zhou. Let's continue to sue Wei."
Your Highness!"
Chu Yanfu glared and said, "Ah? Still suing? If the King of Wei becomes angry and wants to attack our family, won't our family become the rafters in the spotlight?"
Chu Suiliang said angrily: "No matter how angry King Wei is, what can he do to my family? But if His Majesty misunderstands that our family is entangled with those aristocratic families, then that will be a sharp sword hanging over our heads, and we can be doomed anytime, anywhere!"
No matter how much he is trusted by His Majesty, once the imperial power comes into play, the Emperor will frown at anyone!
Why didn't this kid understand even the slightest bit of what I said for a long time?
Could it be that I was drunk and inseminate the seed in the yellow-faced belly in a daze...
Chu Yanfu shrank his neck in fright and hurriedly said: "Father, please calm down, I will go and make a copy..."
He was afraid that his father would get angry and deal with him, so he quickly walked away in despair...
*****
Ministry of War Yamen.
Fang Jun sorted the pile of official documents into categories, watched as the clerk placed them on the bookshelf on the side of the wall, and then leisurely called the doctors in while holding a tea cup.
Cui Dunli, Du Zhijing, Liu Shi, Liu Xian, Yu Chuzheng and others came in one after another and sat on a row of chairs in front of the desk.
This is the way Fang Jun established the meeting method after he became the Minister of War. The superiors and subordinates sit face to face. Because there is a desk between them, the chief officer is at the top and his subordinates are below. The hierarchy is clear. It also reduces the previous division between the chief officer at the top and his subordinates at the two levels.
Everyone sat down on their knees in a formal manner, which was very popular with the officials of the Ministry of War.
The clerk brought hot tea to each official, and everyone sat casually to start the internal meeting of the Ministry of War.
Fang Jun knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention. He looked around from the main seat, thinking that this is what it feels like to be an official in future generations...
"Mr. Du, how is the progress of the Goguryeo map surveying that you are responsible for?"
"Returning to the Chamber, Minister, the progress is relatively smooth, but the Goguryeo Mountains are high and densely forested, and many places are inaccessible. It is very difficult for Tang Dynasty merchants and merchants to move, and the progress is inevitably slower, especially in the area south of the Liaoshui River. Due to the small number of Han people,
There are many difficulties in collecting information and exploring the route, and it will take some time to complete the map drawing of the route from Liaodong to Pyongyang City."
Fang Jun nodded and encouraged: "Goguryeo is so high and far away that there will inevitably be inconveniences. We must encourage the craftsmen and surveying and mapping personnel below. For the long-term peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty, for your majesty's grand hegemony, and for their own merits, we must do our best."
We must persevere and overcome all kinds of difficulties. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of War must also provide the greatest support, and we must not let them bleed and shed tears at the front!"
Throughout the ages, bureaucracy has been the most common phenomenon.
The big men sit in the court and point fingers without considering the actual situation ahead. They often fail in their missions because they are only disappointed. Not only do they not think carefully about their mistakes and correct them, but they shift all the responsibilities to those who are risking their lives at the front.
The subordinates fought hard, causing the pawns to bleed and shed tears.
The Ministry of War must not have this kind of style. If it is discovered at the slightest moment, it will resolutely deal with the harshest blow!
Even if it doesn't happen now, we should be on guard against the slightest change.
Du Zhijing stood up quickly and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Minister Fang. Your subordinates will always urge you to convey the wishes of Minister Fang to the surveying and mapping personnel at the front, and do all the logistics work at any time, and strive to complete the map surveying and mapping in Goguryeo as soon as possible.
Do a good job of supporting the victory of the Eastern Expedition Army!"
Fang Jun smiled and nodded, waving his hand for Du Zhijing to sit down, and said warmly: "There is no need to be so strict. We are all colleagues. This is just a regular internal meeting of the Ministry of War. Everyone can speak freely, just be more casual."
How to handle the relationship between superiors and subordinates is a worldwide problem that has existed in any yamen or unit throughout the ages. The superior officer must ensure his majesty so that his words and laws can be followed as ordered, but he must not be so rigorous that his subordinates will develop resistance.
, aggravating the gap between superiors and subordinates...
The scale of the period is extremely difficult to grasp.
Du Zhijing sat down, and everyone reported on some matters one after another, such as the allocation of troops and military rations to Youying Prefecture, etc. Among them, Liu Shi reported the most matters. After all, the most important department of the Ministry of War, the "Forging Bureau", is located in
under its control.
For a moment, everyone looked at Liu Shi with envy and jealousy...
Who would have thought that this descendant of the Liu family in Hedong, who had once been at loggerheads with Fang Jun, would be subdued by Fang Jun so quickly and become so devoted to him?
At the end, Fang Jun put down the tea cup in his hand, knocked on the table, and said, "I'm going to tell you something important."
All the officials quickly put down their teacups and sat up straight.
Fang Jun said: "You have heard that His Majesty plans to establish a 'Datang Culture Promotion Association', which aims to reduce the price of book paper so that more people in the world can have books to read and paper to write on, and then achieve the goal of
The purpose of inheriting the writings of the sages and prospering Chinese culture is the responsibility of His Highness the King of Wei together with me. However, this move has been resisted and obstructed by many noble families... Most of you here are from noble families, but I have made ugly remarks.
First of all, I don’t care whether you are the Cui family of Shandong, the Liu family of Hedong, or the Du family of Fangling. Since you are an official in the Ministry of War, your first status is as an official of the Ministry of War. Your Majesty’s ministers should keep loyalty to the emperor and patriotism at heart...
…”
Having said this, he looked around indifferently, making all the officials feel shuddered.
Fang Erlang's authority in the Ministry of War can be described as "covering the sky with one hand". Whoever dares to blow up his wings must be prepared to face unreasonable and brutal suppression...
After shocking everyone, Fang Jun softened his tone and said: "However, I am not a completely unreasonable person. As long as you don't go too far, how can you be in trouble with your colleagues? It is said that if you cultivate in the same boat in ten years, you will be able to cultivate in a hundred years.
To be able to sleep together, we must have practiced cultivation for at least eighty years in our previous life, right? This is fate, and we must cherish it."
The officials looked at each other with twitching faces...
What a fate!
The devil has been practicing with you for eighty years...
Complaints are complaints, and everyone cheered up, knowing that with Fang Jun's preparation, something big was bound to be announced.
