Although there is no shortage of resourcefulness, he lacks a bit of tenacity and perseverance. He likes shortcuts when encountering problems, fails to be steady and hardworking, refuses to bow his head, and is frivolous and restless.
Therefore, all the eighteen bachelors of the Prince of Qin's palace at that time were successful and famous, but he has been wasted until now and has not been reused...
Xu Jingzong naturally knew his own shortcomings. Seeing that his colleagues at that time had already been promoted to high positions and became famous, how could he not be impatient?
So this time he really paid attention to the affairs of the academy and concentrated on running it, using this as the foundation for his career to start again. He believed that with his qualifications, as long as he could achieve results, it would be a smooth road for promotion.
When the generals Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other old guys have died, looking at the court, who else has more seniority than himself?
This is an unparalleled advantage. Perhaps it is a bit difficult to ascend to the cabinet and become the prime minister. The six ministers and nine ministers have to have their own position.
Why do you have to succumb to a yellow-mouthed brat like you are doing now?
What a shame!
In the check-in room of the academy, Xu Jingzong, who stayed here last night, raised his head with a guilty conscience and looked outside in the direction of the mountain gate through the window. The sun had just risen, the golden sunshine was shining on the treetops, and the birds were chirping in the morning breeze.
, there was no trace of that stick, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, picked up the tea cup on the desk, took a few sips, breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched his muscles.
At present, everything is in full swing, and all affairs of the academy are on track. It is just waiting for the start of school in the autumn, and it has become the center of attention of the entire Tang Dynasty.
This made Xu Jingzong's vanity very satisfied. It seemed that it was not so difficult to accept that the stick dumped all the trivial matters on him.
Of course, the most important thing is that he teamed up with Fang Jun and pushed another secretary, Chu Suiliang, into the corner. He had no chance to interfere in the affairs of the academy. Even if the academy cafeteria provided food and purchased rice for the handymen every day, he had to
He, the chief bookkeeper, signed and stamped his signature, otherwise the money spent would not be reimbursed at all...
Is this what it feels like to have great power?
Xu Jingzong sighed, he had been in a state of confusion for half his life, and now he has only enjoyed the taste of power when he is nearly fifty years old... It can be said that he has a good meal and is not afraid of being late.
There was a rapid sound of horse hooves outside. Xu Jingzong looked out of the window and saw Fang Jun coming on horseback with a group of generals. After entering the mountain gate, he threw his stirrup, got off the saddle and jumped off the horse, striding towards the duty room.
Come.
Xu Jingzong stood up and walked to the door, rubbed his face, put on a warm smile, then opened the door and greeted Fang Jun.
Fang Jun strode to the door. When he saw Xu Jingzong, he cupped his hands and said, "Master Xu, is it so early?"
Xu Jingzong chuckled and said with a clear face: "There are a lot of chores in the academy. It was too late to finish last night, and there was already a curfew in the city. Fortunately, I stayed here overnight. I got up early in the morning and took a walk. I did some official business early, so I felt clear-headed.
Get twice the result with half the effort.”
Fang Jun glanced at him with a half-smile, nodded slightly, and confirmed.
In the officialdom, no one should say anything about being indifferent to fame and wealth. I have always prided myself on being unconventional. Now, isn't it just for a quota in the military aircraft department to move around and operate in all parties?
It's a good thing to be ambitious. Only when you want to make progress will you have motivation, and only when you have motivation can you work seriously.
If every official is indifferent to fame and fortune and gets by, no matter how honest they are, what will the common people in the world do?
Xu Jingzong felt happy when he saw Fang Jun's smile.
It was really not easy to get Fang Jun's approval. I was so busy that I took on all the chores in the academy, and finally I didn't suffer in vain.
Immediately afterwards, I was shocked. What happened to me that I expected Fang Jun's approval so much?
Mother!
Isn't all this exhausting work possible thanks to this little bastard?
He does nothing for his own work. He wanders around all day doing nothing, leaving me here so tired that he hits his head on the back... I am so mean!
The smile on his face quickly faded, and Xu Jingzong said seriously: "Fanghuangma, you see, you owe me the hundred dollars..."
Fang Jun was about to walk in. He was stunned when he heard this, stopped and asked in surprise: "When did I owe you money?"
Xu Jingzong is furious, why are you going to default on your debt?
He suddenly became anxious: "That day, Gao Xingxing came with a group of dandies to cause trouble. Later, my consort, you asked me to prepare a banquet. It was a first-class banquet in Songhe Tower. It cost a hundred guan. The academy is
It’s impossible to reimburse, but you said it will be charged to your account!”
Fang Jun slapped his forehead and said apologetically: "Oh, I've been so busy these days that I forgot about this matter. That's right, that hundred coins are counted in my account... But then again
Speaking of which, it’s only a hundred dollars, so it’s a bit unreasonable for you to collect debt after meeting me so early in the morning, right?”
Xu Jingzong said angrily: "Erlang, your family is so rich and powerful that it rivals the country. Of course you don't take this kind of money seriously, but how much salary do I get in a month? You are talking while standing and it doesn't hurt your back!"
"Okay, okay!"
Fang Jun was impatient with his complaints and said casually: "Isn't it just a hundred strings? I'll scratch you to death! I'll give it to you later."
Xu Jingzong quits and looks back? If you look back, you may not know where you will be paid again...
He tugged at the corner of Fang Jun's clothes and was about to speak when a cry suddenly came from outside: "Fang Jun's Consort!"
The two of them turned around in shock, and saw that Fang Jun's general Bu Qu had rushed outside the gate and pushed a thin man in white to the ground...
Xu Jingzong quickly let go of his hand and followed Fang Jun. He heard Fang Jun ask: "What's going on?"
Before the others could reply, the little man in white who was pushed to the ground said loudly: "Fang Prince Consort, I am Diao Yan, my father Diao Wenyi..."
Diao Wenyi?
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, the name seemed a bit familiar... and then he remembered, wasn't this the same guard who spent the whole day visiting incognito in order to prevent His Majesty Li Er, and pretended to be an assassin at night to scare His Majesty Li Er, thereby successfully committing suicide?
Take another look at where Diao Yan is wearing white clothes?
It is clearly a filial piety...
Fang Jun waved his hand: "Let him get up."
"Here."
The tribesmen searched the boy up and down and found no daggers, daggers or other weapons, so they let Diao Yan go.
Diao Yan got up from the ground, straightened his clothes, first bowed his head to Fang Jun, then bowed to Fang Jun, bowed to the ground, and said: "Diao Yan thanks Fang Jun for his righteous words, which saved our family from being implicated in my father's crimes and allowed it to continue."
Incense, great kindness, great kindness, never forgotten."
"Bang bang bang" he kowtowed three times in a row.
Fang Jun was stunned and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. He said warmly: "Why is this necessary? I am just discussing the matter. Your father deserves to die for his crime, but the harm will not affect his family. This is stipulated by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. There is no need to thank me."
Diao Yan was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a handsome face. He was kneeling on the ground and cried: "But among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the Gonggun princes, who dares to speak of the laws of the Tang Dynasty in front of the emperor? Only you, Prince Consort, can do that.
I'm sorry to say that you are a great benefactor to our Diao family. You should never forget your great kindness in the rest of your life, and you will never regret it even if you are a bull or a horse..."
"Okay, okay!"
Fang Jun struggled with his hands, lifted his thin body up, and warned: "The crime your father committed has been the fate of the Yi tribe in all dynasties. Your Majesty is kind and does not want to destroy your family.
It's not just a word of advice from me that can be erased. You should be grateful, be positive, work hard to learn martial arts, and become outstanding in the future, instead of harboring resentment, being blinded by hatred, and living in resentment and obsession all your life."
Diao Yan struggled to get away from Fang Jun, knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "I understand, my father brought his own death. Your Majesty has forgiven my family, how dare you have any resentment? I will definitely serve the king."
Fang Jun gave him another comforting exhortation before sending him off.
With such a fuss, the sun was already rising high, and Fang Jun said helplessly: "Originally, I was thinking about any difficulties in the academy. I will report them to you and I will resolve them at my discretion. However, it is getting late now, and I still have to go to the Ministry of War.
Taking office, let’s leave it at that for today. Chief Secretary Xu, if there is anything difficult to decide in the academy, you might as well write it down and wait for me to deal with it later, or you can send someone to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to report it. The day for the opening of the academy has already begun.
It’s not far away, so be alert and work hard, and don’t be careless.”
"Here!"
Xu Jingzong responded and said: "I am here in the academy, so the prince-in-law can rest assured, but the one hundred strings..."
Halfway through the words, I looked up and found that Fang Jun had already walked away surrounded by Bu Qu...
Xu Jingzong suddenly became furious, angry and anxious.
Mother!
The richer people are, the stingier they are, right?
It’s just a hundred guan, is it interesting to drag it out day by day?
He stood on tiptoe and shouted at Fang Jun's back: "One hundred guan! Fang's consort still owes me one hundred guan. When will he pay back the money?"
In the distance, Fang Jun jumped up on his horse, whipped his whip, and the horse galloped away with all four hooves.
