What do the upper echelons of the Jin family think of Jin Chunqiu's death?
Is it peace of mind, or is it sad that the rabbit died and the fox died?
This is a very serious problem, and it is very likely to have extremely serious consequences. Just like Jin Famin in front of him, he may already have resentment towards his family and be full of anger!
However, Queen Seondeok doesn't know how to deal with it in order to solve this hidden worry...
Seeing Queen Seon Deok's silence, Jin Famin's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he paused and said: "It's Wei Chen's recklessness that has embarrassed Your Majesty...Wei Chen is resigning."
After that, stand up.
Queen Seondeok remained silent, and Jin Shengman hesitated to speak, but she saw Jin Famin walking out of the tent with firm steps.
After leaving the camp, Jin Famin stopped, looked up at the gray sky, and then looked at the walls of Jin City in the distance, feeling both sad and angry in his heart.
Although my father seeks kindness and is willing to sacrifice his life for the family, can those in the family enjoy all this with peace of mind? He does not even have too many demands, nor does he ask the family to avenge his father, but just bury him in the grave.
Ancestor tombs and shrines can only be enshrined in the ancestral temple.
This may certainly arouse suspicion from the outside world, but what does this level of suspicion mean?
You have surrendered Guo Zuo to the Tang Dynasty. No matter that the Jin family is not the master of Silla, what is the use of having to have a clean reputation?
Is it possible that you still hope to make a comeback?
Jin Famin let out a long breath, thought about it, and walked towards Fang Jun's tent.
He fell in front of the door, cupped his hands to the guard and said, "Excuse me, I would like to see the Marquis."
The guards in front of the door were all members of Fang Jun. They knew Jin Famin and knew that this descendant of the Jin family had a very good relationship with his own marquis. He did not dare to neglect him and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I will go in and report."
Jin Famin said politely: "Thank you very much."
The man turned around and went in. He turned around soon, lifted the door curtain for him, and said, "The Marquis invites you."
Jin Famin cupped his hands and raised his feet to enter the tent.
In the camp, Fang Junzheng and Su Dingfang were standing in front of a map on the wall, discussing something in a low voice, and making gestures on the map from time to time.
Jin Famin stepped forward, stood behind Fang Jun, raised his hands and saluted, "I have met the Marquis."
Fang Jun stopped talking with Su Dingfang, turned around and looked at Jin Famin, and said warmly: "How is your father's funeral organized? If there is any difficulty, please speak up. I have a long-standing friendship with your father, and I should have gone to the house to express my condolences.
, I’m just in the military camp, with the emperor’s orders, I don’t dare to show favoritism, and I hope Brother Jin will respect you.”
Jin Famin hurriedly said: "What did the Marquis say? If you have this kind of intention, my father will feel happy even if he is under the nine springs."
Fang Jun took his hand, sat down at the desk next to him, ordered someone to serve hot tea, and asked: "Brother Jin is so filial, but he comes to see me. He must have urgent matters. You might as well speak frankly."
, if I can be of any help, I will never refuse."
Jin Famin held the tea cup and felt his whole body warm up. However, he glanced at Su Dingfang sitting aside and hesitated.
Su Dingfang was stunned and stood up quickly: "I will go out first, you can talk slowly..."
Fang Jun waved his hand and said: "It's not necessary, Governor."
Then he looked at Jin Famin with a smile and said: "The Governor is a gentleman, and he talks to me about anything. No matter what time, Brother Jin, there is no harm in talking."
Su Dingfang felt warm in his heart and looked at Jin Famin. If Jin Famin insisted, he would not stay. He had no interest in peeking into other people's privacy...
Jin Famin stood up, bowed to Su Dingfang, and said with a wry smile: "It's not something confidential, and I'm afraid that the Governor will leak it. I really feel that it's shameful and difficult to talk about it. I hope that the Governor will forgive me."
Su Dingfang also returned the courtesy, so there was no harm in talking.
When he sat down again, Jin Famin gave a wry smile and said: "Actually, the reason why I came here today is to ask to see His Majesty..."
He then told the story of his request to see Queen Seondeok just now, and made no secret of his request for Queen Seondeok's permission to bury his father in the ancestral tomb and enshrine the gods in the ancestral temple.
Fang Jun and Su Dingfang listened in silence.
It is really not something that outsiders like them can comment on. They are all descendants of the Jin family, and they have their own rules on how to choose.
But in Fang Jun's opinion, there is nothing right or wrong in this matter.
Jin Chunqiu sought benevolence and was benevolent. He died to fight all the crimes of his family, which was considered heroic. If Queen Seondeok agreed to Jin Famin's request, Jin Chunqiu might have died in vain; and Jin Famin, as the son of a human being, had to die for him.
It is reasonable and reasonable for my father to think about his name after his death and hope to be buried in his ancestor's tomb...
This is why it is difficult for an upright official to stop family affairs.
After explaining the matter one after another, Jin Famin said: "I am not here to seek support from the Marquis. This is a family matter, and I don't dare to let the Marquis bother. I just want to ask..."
As he spoke, he looked at Fang Jun, feeling a little guilty. He hesitated and then said: "My family has been unfair to my father. I have already decided that when my father's funeral is properly arranged, I will accuse him in the ancestral temple and sever ties with the family from then on...
From now on, for people other than the descendants of the Jin family, I wonder if the original promise made by the Marquis is already effective?"
When I asked this question, I felt really uneasy.
In the past, he was a descendant of the Jin family, and his bloodline was a direct branch of the royal family. However, because his grandfather was convicted and expelled from the royal family, he was demoted from "sacred bones" to "real bones" and was no longer qualified to inherit the throne. However, the clan
His status is definitely not low.
Fang Jun recommended him to study at the Chongwen Hall of the Tang Dynasty, perhaps just to win over the Jin family. Once he loses his status as a descendant of the Jin family, I am afraid Fang Jun will not go to great lengths to give him the opportunity to enter the Chongwen Hall...
But for an aspiring young man from Silla, being able to enter the Chongwen Museum of the Tang Dynasty is almost an opportunity to reach the sky in one step. How could he be willing to miss it in vain?
Therefore, after coming out of Queen Seondeok's place, he did not immediately rush back to the mansion to attend to his father's funeral. Instead, he came to Fang Jun and got an accurate letter before he felt at ease.
When Fang Jun heard this, he laughed.
"Presumably, Brother Jin thought that I recommended you to Chongwen Hall just to win over the Jin royal family?"
"Um...isn't it?"
Jin Famin was stunned for a moment and then asked directly.
Fang Jun shook his head with a smile, and said domineeringly: "To tell you something that Brother Jin may not like to hear, in my eyes, the Jin family is just a group of chickens and dogs with corpses and a plain diet. The army is pressing down on the country. These so-called nobles are nothing like dolphins.
Dogs are no different! If it is said that I am trying to win over Brother Jin, I am just trying to win over Brother Jin. I feel pity for Brother Jin's talent. I have formed a good relationship today and may be able to ask Brother Jin to help me in the future. That's all."
Among the Jin royal family, there are only a few people worthy of his attention.
Queen Seon-deok is one, because of her special status, she must be exploited in order to achieve the goal of feudal Silla. Kim Bo-min is one. Her talent makes him admire her with admiration. If she can be won over, it will not be difficult to become an arm in the future.
As for Jin Yuxin, Langchuan and his ilk, they are just reckless men. They can be regarded as generals despite the odds. And such so-called generals are common among the younger generation of the Tang Dynasty, so why bother with them?
Win over two Silla people?
In addition, if we can win Jin Famin over, it will be equivalent to cutting off an arm of the Jin royal family.
Jin Famin was moved to tears!
Having suffered a family tragedy, he was in an extremely low mood and was extremely vulnerable at the moment. First, Queen Seon-deok refused to allow his father to be buried in the ancestral tomb. When he was disheartened, he received Fang Jun's affirmation. The contrast between before and after became even stronger, which made him feel depressed.
He felt the urge to die for his confidant...
So he stood up, bowed prostrate to me, and said with a little choked up sobs: "You treat me as a nobleman of your country, and I will repay you as a nobleman of your country... Lord Marquis, with his bright and upright mind, please accept my worship! From now on, I will be the only lord with my wealth and my ability."
I'm following my lead, but if you have your orders, follow them no matter what!"
He bowed his head to the ground.
Fang Jun hurriedly stood up and helped him up, saying warmly: "You and I have a heart-to-heart relationship, so why talk about anything else? Go back to the house quickly, prepare for your father's funeral, and arrange the family home. In three days, I will return to Datang. You can accompany me."
"Here!"
Jin Famin agreed, turned around and left.
Su Dingfang took a sip of tea and said puzzledly: "In the future, among the Jin family, Jin Yuxin is the most talented. If the Marquis wanted to win over him, why not win over this person instead of such a young boy?
?”
Fang Jun sat on the chair, glanced at Su Dingfang, and said: "Jin Famin is twenty-two this year, three years older than me..."
Su Dingfang was stunned and said hurriedly: "Master Hou is a brilliant man, a rare man in a century. How can his Jinfa Min compare with you? What... you know that is not what the general means!"
Nothing is more embarrassing than saying the wrong thing in front of your boss...
