With a clear word, the discussions in the hall fell silent for an instant.
Fang Jun had a strong and well-proportioned figure but was not tall. He was sitting behind Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin, and six or seven people away from Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County who was the number one military general. However, no one dared to ignore Fang Jun's words.
This is the status he earned with countless meritorious deeds and numerous "wars of words"...
Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Fang Jun leaned back slightly on the chair and said slowly: "To be a teacher, you must first correct yourself before you can teach and educate others. This is the foundation of teacher ethics. Xu
Although the Huangmen are extremely talented and knowledgeable, they are not upright and their moral integrity will inevitably be lacking. The purpose of the academy is to cultivate the elites of the empire. How can this person teach? I am afraid that in the future there will be people who are only interested in profit, which is really a shame to the empire.
Misleading people."
The ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right. If Fang Erlang didn't quarrel with others, would he still be the Fang Erlang everyone is familiar with?
Don't make yourself look very talkative and noble, people won't be used to it...
Everyone believed that this was the real Fang Jun. They pinched their noses and recognized Chu Suiliang as one of the "siye" who competed with him. It was obviously a concession made out of many considerations. This was extremely rare for Fang Jun. I don't know.
How much anger I felt in my heart.
Now we have brought in Xu Jingzong, who is at odds with Fang Jun. From now on, everyone in the academy will be enemies?
Since Changsun Wuji proposed Xu Jingzong as the candidate for "Yuan Cheng", he naturally wanted to support him to the end: "Fang Huangmen's words are wrong. Xu Huangmen has deep qualifications. He was a veteran of the Qin Palace. He followed His Majesty all the way to conquer the world.
, has extraordinary abilities, and few people in the court can compare with them. As for the issue of morality...the things you said are just rumors among the people, and they are all nonsense. How can you do it accurately? Besides, Xu Huangmen
The position of 'House Master' he holds is to assist in offering wines, manage the affairs of the academy, and preside over the affairs of the academy. How can he teach and educate people? Since he has never been a teacher, how can he talk about misleading his disciples?"
As soon as he started, the rest of the Guanlong noble faction immediately followed.
Shangshu Zuo Chengyu Wenjie said: "Over the years, Xu Huangmen has been loyal to Your Majesty and has made a lot of achievements. His talent and ability have long been known to the whole court. No one is perfect, how can the emperor's son-in-law deny Xu Huangmen because of some flaws?
What about your ability? To put it bluntly, Prince Consort, you are always grumpy and act recklessly, but your Majesty still has great trust in you and entrusts you with important responsibilities..."
Yuwen Jie and Fang Jun are good friends, but at this time, the first consideration is the interests of the family. The Yuwen family has gradually declined. They must follow the footsteps of Changsun Wuji and be closely connected with the entire Guanlong nobles in order to protect themselves.
Benefit.
Compared to this, friendship is another matter...
Fang Jun suddenly glared: "Yu Wenjie, please don't slander me. Is someone so angry?"
Yu Wenjie said: "Look at you, aren't you irritable? This is in front of His Majesty, otherwise I would have rolled up my sleeves and hit someone."
Fang Jun rolled his eyes in anger and nodded at him: "Just wait."
Changsun Wuji glanced at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu sighed...
He was a little annoyed that Fang Jun didn't care about the meaning of "in-laws" and didn't suggest that anyone from his side should join the academy to serve, but he definitely didn't want to help Changsun Wuji get Xu Jingzong into the academy to go against Fang Jun.
But when Xiao Rui became the Protector of the Vast Sea, the Xiao family inherited a huge favor from Changsun Wuji. At this time, when someone wanted to return the favor, how could he refuse?
Even though everyone has their own interests in the officialdom, the barriers are not as clear as it seems. Sometimes it is normal to compliment each other. If you refuse, you will completely offend Changsun Wuji and those behind him.
The Guanlong nobles are extremely unwise...
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu could only say: "The veterans of His Majesty's residence have gradually withered over the years. Xu Huangmen, regardless of his qualifications and ability, is qualified for the position of 'Yuan Cheng' of the Academy. Apart from him, there is no one else."
A better choice."
Fang Jun glanced at Xiao Yu and sat down silently, making no sound.
…
There was a strange wave of support for Xu Jingzong in the court...
His Majesty Li Er has sharp eyes, and he knows the mentality of the ministers in front of him very well.
Is this a case of "discussing feelings over qualifications"?
But he really just does this...
There is no doubt that His Majesty Li Er is indeed a very nostalgic person. He has shown a rare open-mindedness in history towards the veterans who followed him to conquer the world. This may only be achieved by the "Ming Dynasty" hundreds of years later.
"Chengzu" can be compared with it.
Except for conspirators like Hou Junji and other conspirators, he would forgive all major and minor crimes as much as possible.
Although I don't like Xu Jingzong, an old guy in my heart, but as these ministers said, there is hard work without merit. At that time, the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Prince's Palace worked hard to assist themselves. After winning the world, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others
Not to mention the most popular ministers, Yu Zhining, Su Shichang, Yao Silian, Kong Yingda, Li Xuandao, Li Shousu, etc. were all prominent for a while, but Xu Jingzong, who was the youngest and the most slippery, had never been reused and was depressed.
ambition......
His Majesty Li Er sighed.
It would be good to put Xu Jingzong in the academy. His character is not good, and no one can control him based on his qualifications in other yamen. I don’t know what kind of trouble he will bring. Fang Jun is a stick. I guess once Xu Jingzong has something
If you are evil, you will definitely be able to suppress it with all your strength, and you will not be able to cause any trouble.
As for whether this will make Fang Jun feel targeted and unhappy... Haha, you think I didn't know about Xu Jingzong's personal visit yesterday?
I've been acting under my nose for a long time, and I'm too lazy to share the experience with you...
"Okay, since everyone agrees that the Yan tribe should serve as the 'Yuan Cheng' of the academy, let's make it final." His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and made the final decision.
Xu Jingzong also reflected at this time that Fang Jun was playing "play hard to get" and deliberately expressed his opposition vigorously, forcing the Guanlong nobles to push him to ascend to the throne. It was obviously such a "sentimental" way
Impressed His Majesty Li Er...
Chu Suiliang smiled and cupped his hands, and whispered: "We will still be colleagues from now on, so we need to get closer."
Xu Jingzong smiled but said: "Please give me some advice from Chu Huangmen."
I kept sneering in my heart: You kid still dreams of squeezing out Fang Jun so that you can monopolize power? Haha, just wait, there will be times when you cry...
…
Fang Jun made up his mind to keep a low profile, and after secretly promoting Xu Jingzong, he did not interfere in the selection of the other academy officials and just let it go.
Anyway, when you promote people, you have to be under my control. If you don't like them, you can kick them out. How dare you stare at me or what?
The academy must be tightly held in hand, and no one can try to make Fang Jun compromise...
*****
The noisy meeting came to an end, and the candidates for various positions in the academy have been decided upon. His Majesty Li Er rubbed his brows, showing his exhaustion: "My dear friends, please go back quickly, and draft a quota of candidates and hand them over to the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall. Consider how to make arrangements after the personnel transfer. I am a little tired, so you can go back for now."
A carrot and a pit, no one is idle at home. Since someone is going to be transferred to the academy, the original position must be filled by someone. This is another struggle and weighing of interests. His Majesty Li Er is too lazy to pay attention to it and leaves it to the Political Affairs Hall. All the prime ministers and ministers can just worry about it.
Now he just hopes to finish these trivial matters quickly, and is thinking about heading to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat...
The ministers quickly stood up, said goodbye and left.
Fang Jun left the Liangyi Hall and did not leave the palace. Instead, he called two chamberlains over and asked them to lead the way to the harem.
When they arrived at Concubine Yang's palace, they asked the chamberlain to come in and deliver the message. After a while, a palace maid came out and invited Fang Jun into the palace.
Concubine Yang was wearing a lake-green palace dress, her hair was piled with clouds, and her head was full of pearls. She was sitting on the brocade couch with her waist straight and graceful.
A beautiful woman in her forties, her whole body is filled with elegance and charm.
Fang Jun stepped forward to greet her, and Concubine Yang waved her hands: "You kid, are you still so polite when you get here? Come sit over here and have a chat with me."
The palace maids and chamberlains waiting on both sides knew that Concubine Yang was close to Fang Jun, so they stepped forward to place a bench in front of Concubine Yang and offered fragrant tea.
Fang Jun came forward and sat down, and heard Concubine Yang sigh faintly: "Ke'er went to Silla, I don't know if I can see you again in my lifetime, Min'er is heartless, and behaves like an idiot all day long. A wild horse that cannot be held back by the reins, I am very lonely and lonely in this palace... Erlang, you should always bring Gao Yang and the others to sit and talk with me..."
