Chapter 1,681 If you want to be promoted early, you must live a long life.
In the evening, Fang Xuanling sent someone to summon Fang Jun.
The father and son were sitting in the study. Fang Xuanling recounted today's conversation with Liu Jie, and then said: "The censor will probably come tomorrow, and then he will definitely submit a letter to His Majesty. You don't need to ask about this matter, and you are not allowed to interfere.
."
Fang Junqi asked: "Is it possible that these guys think that an impeachment document can do anything to my father?"
Looking at the government and the public, including all civil and military officials, how many people have Fang Xuanling's current status? In other words, in the past two years, Fang Xuanling has grown older and has become tired of government affairs, and has gradually faded away from the central government.
Otherwise, who would dare to give him eye drops?
Neither can Changsun Wuji!
Fang Xuanling drank tea and said casually: "As the saying goes, being strong without desire, as a father, I have long looked down on the world. What can they do to me? The target is naturally you."
After all, Fang Jun had been an official in his previous life, and he had been working in the court for several years in this life. He naturally had a deep understanding of the intrigues in the officialdom. After thinking about it for a while, he understood what Fang Xuanling meant.
This is because someone saw that his official career was too prosperous and wanted to suppress it...
As long as a few censors are gathered to impeach him, and a few ministers in the court express doubts, it is equivalent to adding a stain that is not a stain on Fang Jun. He usually doesn't care, and Fang Jun himself doesn't care.
Do you care about reputation, but when facing the situation, for example, His Majesty wants to promote Fang Jun... Then the few memorials now are a handle. Although there will be no evidence to solidify the impeachment, as long as there is this gap, most of them will be led by the Jiangnan gentry.
The civil servants could collectively boycott, and the Guanlong Group, which had deep rifts with Fang Jun, would definitely agree, so even if the emperor wanted to promote Fang Jun, it would not work.
It is impossible for the emperor to be an enemy of most of his ministers. After all, Jiajing and other ministers who single-handedly fought against the ministers of the entire dynasty would not be seen until the Ming Dynasty...
But Fang Jun was still a little puzzled: "Father, at this age, my son is already serving as the left minister of the Ministry of War, and is in charge of the right guard army. After all, he is a young man who has achieved great success and has a bright future. It is necessary to further become the target of public criticism.
What?"
It's not impossible for him to come up with some dirty information that will disgust him, but there is a time limit for this. If the emperor wants to be promoted to Fang Jun in ten or twenty years, who can use today's things to make an issue?
Fang Jun doesn't think it's necessary for him to be promoted at the moment, and he doesn't think the emperor will promote him. If he gets promoted, he will be the Minister of the Ministry of War, one of the nine dignitaries. How old is he? He's not even twenty yet...
…
Fang Xuanling shook his head, looked at his son, and asked: "Erlang, tell me the truth to my father, do you have ambitions in your officialdom?"
There are many officials in the world, and they can be roughly divided into two types. One is to be an official for the sake of promotion, and the other is to be an official for the sake of doing things. Those who are an official for the sake of promotion only have fame and fortune in their eyes, and there is no limit to what they can do;
Getting promoted for the sake of doing things is because you have ambitions and want to show your talents to help the world.
But since you want to help the world, you must have a relatively higher platform to display your talents. Therefore, as long as you are in the officialdom, no matter what your purpose is, you will eventually aspire to be promoted...
Fang Jun naturally has ambitions. It would be too boring to just wait for death and be a salted fish in his rebirth. He must apply what he has learned in this era, and perhaps try to change some historical trajectories.
Fang Jun looked at his father and said seriously: "Of course there is."
Fang Xuanling laughed and said happily: "The best officials are not just greedy for power and power as ordinary people imagine. When people reach that level, they almost don't care about fame, wealth, worldly things, and they are in their eyes."
All I have is this splendid country, which can guide the country and scold Fang Qiu so that he can fulfill his life ambitions and live up to his status as a good man! You have been established not long ago this year. You seem to be young and have many opportunities for promotion, but in fact you are not. Your Majesty is now in the prime of life.
It's not impossible to rule for another thirty years. How old were you at that time? It's almost the age of destiny! Even if the prince ascends the throne at that time and makes you the chief minister, all the military and state affairs will be decided by you, and it will be left to you.
How much time can we have to govern this country and express our ambitions? Twenty years? Thirty years? It’s far from enough!”
At this point, looking at his dumbfounded son, he leaned forward slightly and said slowly: "They say that governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies. That means governing according to the current situation and doing nothing. But in this way, you sit on the second
What's the point of being prime minister for ten years, thirty years, or even a hundred years? It's just a symbol in the history books. If you want to use your talents and knowledge to change the world, you have to shake the already stable interest strata in the world.
, If you don’t want such a beautiful river and mountain to fall apart and make people angry, you must not be impatient. You must use ten years to plan, then ten years to leverage, then ten years to fight, and finally, use the rest of your life to implement..."
Fang Xuanling's eyes shone with wisdom: "So, do you still think there is still enough time?"
Fang Jun was so impressed that he fell to the ground...
If he wants to pursue his ambition, the only way is to reform the system of the feudal dynasty one by one, removing the bad and extracting the essence.
But how many people in history have carried out political reform?
Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng, the Six Gentlemen of 1898... these people are all famous in history, but what about their reforms? Qingli New Deal, Wang Anshi's Reform, One Whip, the 1898 Reform... all prospered for a while, but the ending was either
They were brutally suppressed and either died or died.
The main reason why it ended like this was that it touched the bottom line of vested interests and received a crazy backlash.
"Reforms in various countries are all caused by bloodshed. Today, China has not heard of anyone who shed blood due to reforms. This is why this country is not prosperous." This sentence seems to be very loyal and passionate. It can make people feel passionate and impassioned. Fang Jun also heard from
I don’t think that those sages who were willing to sacrifice their lives for their ideals were buying fame with their lives, but in fact this is just a saying.
You have touched the foundation of others and achieved your ideals, but cut off other people's livelihood. How can you not bleed? Either your blood is bleeding, or the blood of others is bleeding. However, the formation of interest classes is due to historical reasons.
Contributing to this, if you want to dig out the foundation of the interest class, it means being an enemy of the whole society and going against the trend of history.
Even if it can achieve temporary results, how can it be invincible in the end?
Of course, there was a great man who did something that had never been done before. He turned the entire society upside down and brought down all the interest classes... However, the ultimate outcome of such things that were seen as going against the trend of history was the collapse of the social structure.
The lack of people’s faith and the severance of historical inheritance...
Was this a success or a failure?
The journey of history is a step-by-step process. Today, you are using violent means to reverse it, but the general trend of history is still moving forward. Maybe in twenty years, maybe in thirty years, the road that should be taken will eventually be walked, and it will come.
will come eventually.
But the losses during this period are enough to make people feel heartbroken...
Travelers are not omnipotent, but time travelers are born with God's perspective. They can stand in the clouds and look down on all living beings, and use their own knowledge and experience to correct some mistakes. That's all. If you want to change something, you can only follow the long flow of history.
, making subtle changes in this river, trying to change your fate against the will of heaven, once you succeed, it is simply asking for death.
So Fang Xuanling's theory is correct.
It was impossible to realize those reforms that were unimaginable to the people of the Tang Dynasty overnight. It could only take a long time to subtly, correct, and guide.
To do this, first of all, you have to sit in the position of guiding the country for a long time, and then, you have to live long enough...
Of course, what Fang Xuanling said was correct, but as a time traveler, Fang Jun could also see things that Fang Xuanling could not predict.
That is, he expected the prince to ascend the throne in twenty or thirty years, which was a big mistake.
His Majesty Li Er is indeed in his prime now, but his longevity will never last long... Fang Jun is a butterfly that stirs up the world, but he will not be arrogant enough to think that he can affect the fortune of an emperor. Don't say "it depends on man-made things"
"Silly words, "the way of heaven" is a mysterious thing. Although it can't be seen or touched, no one can deny its existence.
An emperor who has the best fortune in the world, can you change his fate if you want?
I just don’t know how my father is going to get himself promoted?
After all, he was "conniving" those imperial officials to impeach him...
