The officials gathered around Fang Jun, groveling and serving him tea and snacks, hoping to stabilize Fang Jun and prevent him from making things worse in his anger.
Gao Jingcheng was the consort of the dynasty and the prince of Shen Guogong, but these assistant officers did not have such a strong backing. If the emperor's fault fell on them in the end, would they be unjust?
Cui Dunli was also invited to take a seat, and he was accompanied by several officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs who he had known before. This made him feel filled with emotion...
They are both officials, so why is the gap so big?
Thinking about the treatment I received when I accompanied Guo Fushan to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to ask for funding several times before, and then compared it before my eyes, how could it be so different?
He felt that it was not just the difference caused by status and background. In the final analysis, no one who could be an official in the three provinces and six ministries was an ordinary person. There were more or less powerful people behind him. Although he was afraid of Fang Jun, he did not see him.
Everyone has to be afraid.
However, Fang Jun's tough, well-founded and threatening words in front of Gao Fuling not only made Gao Fuling afraid to speak out, but also made the entire Ministry of Civil Affairs realize the seriousness of the matter.
Why didn't I think of saying this before?
After thinking about it carefully, he found that the reason why he couldn't do it was that he didn't have Fang Jun's arrogant and willful temperament. He was not Fang Jun, and he didn't dare to risk offending all Ministry of Civil Affairs officials just to ask for help.
Appropriation.
After thinking about it, in the final analysis, status determines the way things are done...
The Ministry of Civil Affairs officials had flattering smiles on their faces, and they greeted him gently, but they were cursing in their hearts.
As expected, Fang Jun is really a stick, flipping the table over if he disagrees with you. The key is that you have the capital to flip the table. What should we do?
Now I just pray that nothing more will happen to Tang Jian...
For half an hour, there was still no movement outside the door, and the officials who went to the Duke of Ju's Mansion still failed to return. Fang Jun drank a lot of tea and ate a lot of snacks. He was already a little impatient and raised his hand to stop this.
The official flattered him and said: "It's not too early now. I have taken up my duties for the first time today. There are still a lot of official matters to be dealt with in the Yamen of the Ministry of War. How about I go back first and get the confirmation later? OK or not."
, how about you send someone to the Ministry of War to communicate again?"
"Don't be in a hurry, it's not yet time. The people who went to the Duke of Ju's residence will be back soon. Please sit down for a while."
"You've been sitting here for a long time, so you won't miss this moment. Otherwise, if we go to the Ministry of War later, this back and forth will also delay things."
…
How dare officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs let Fang Jun leave?
This person is a stick. If the front foot goes out and the back foot changes his mind and goes directly to Dali Temple, things will get into trouble.
Fang Jun was a little dissatisfied. He sat with a big horse and a golden sword and complained: "It's not my fault for not giving you face. Look, I'm sitting here. As a result, your senior minister avoided seeing me.
I'm just talking nonsense with you here. I might have gone to the palace to file a petition, aren't you trying to trick me?"
The official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs said: "Look at what you said, how can it be possible? To be honest, you two are the princes-in-law of the dynasty, big shots with great influence. Why should we, the little fish and shrimps, be implicated in the fight between you?
?As soon as you turn around, you are still your brother-in-law, and you are still the right-hand man in front of His Majesty, but we are afraid that we will drown in a gust of wind and waves, so you should just take pity on us and show your kindness."
Fang Jun: "..."
Do you still have any moral integrity? Do you have any moral integrity?
Even though he could say such humble words, the young master...actually became a little soft-hearted.
He sighed helplessly and said: "To be honest, I didn't intend to give up today. So what if you allocate funds? If you slap my Ministry of War in the face, I will have to fight you back! Since Gao Jixiong dares to
If he uses national affairs as an excuse to take personal revenge, then I have to let him taste the consequences. But what you said makes sense. This matter is a high-level responsibility. It would be unfair if I let you all bear it in the end. That's all.
, Gao Xian can be ruthless and unjust and treat you as if you are nothing. How can a certain Fang Jun be like him and watch you being dismissed from office? Let’s get the appropriation matter done quickly today, and let’s forget about it and stop here; but if it can’t be done,
Regarding appropriation, I must not be held responsible for delaying the re-dressing of Liaodong's army and horses. I can't help you with what happens to you."
After these words were spoken, the Ministry of Civil Affairs officials all breathed a sigh of relief. Although the second roommate was a stick and acted arbitrarily, he was a man of his word.
There is nothing that will not be fulfilled.
For some reason, these officials felt a sense of gratitude...
In order to vent his personal anger, our own commander flagrantly blocked the funding of the Ministry of War regardless of everyone's future. However, the commander of the Ministry of War is worried that everyone will lose their official positions and does not want to make the matter bigger...
We are both the consorts of the dynasty, so why are there such big differences in our lives?
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door, followed by the sound of footsteps. The clerk at the door made way for several officials who were heading to the Duke of Ju's Mansion to stride back.
Because they came and went in such a hurry, these people were panting from exhaustion, with sweat on their foreheads. They walked into the lobby in a few steps, bowed to Fang Jun, and said: "Fortunately, we have not disgraced our orders and have obtained the signature of the Duke of Ju."
, the money can be transferred immediately!”
"good!"
"Oh, it's finally done!"
“I’ll wait until the Duke of Ju can do his business smoothly!”
…
There was great joy in the lobby, and all the officials celebrated with their foreheads and hands, and almost cried with joy.
Fang Jun pointed at Cui Dunli: "Master Cui, please check whether there are any errors in the inspection documents."
"Here!"
Cui Dunli stood up, and the officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs hurried forward and handed him the document signed by Ju Guogong Tang Jian, the Minister of Civil Affairs. Cui Dunli carefully inspected the signature and the contents of the document. It took him a long time to confirm that it was correct.
Then he said to Fang Jun: "Report to Fang Shaobao, the document has been inspected and found to be correct."
"very good!"
Fang Jun patted the armrest of the chair, stood up immediately, looked around, and said loudly: "I have just promised you that as long as the funds are allocated, this matter will not be pursued. Even if Gao fulfills his duties to avenge himself, or even be suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, I
The official has also written it off! Don’t worry, everyone, Mr. Fang always keeps his word!”
"Young master Fang maintains high righteousness!"
"Thank you Fang Shaobao for your understanding!"
After receiving Fang Jun's confirmation, everyone in Minbu let go of their heavy hearts and let out a sigh of relief.
Fang Jun said: "In that case, I will return to the Ministry of War first, leaving Chief Cui to hand over the money. I hope you will cooperate with me."
"Look what you said, this is our duty!"
"That's right, don't worry, Fang Shaobao. With Duke Ju's documents, even if the prince comes, the money will be escorted to the Ministry of War!"
Fang Jun smiled broadly and nodded slowly.
Then he said to Cui Dunli: "You stay here for the time being and hand over the money with your colleagues in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If there are any differences, everyone can discuss it calmly. If it doesn't work, inform me to make a decision. Don't hurt the relationship between colleagues."
We are all officials in the same court. It is not easy for anyone. We need to be considerate and help you a lot."
"Here!"
Cui Dunli and Su Rong took the order.
All the officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs were extremely grateful. They all praised Fang Jun for "Mengchang's reincarnation" and "his righteousness is so great". There were endless flattering words.
They are truly grateful.
This turmoil was originally a personal grudge between Gao Jishi and Fang Jun. As a result, Gao Jishi retaliated by blocking the funding of the Ministry of War by using public weapons for private purposes. He ignored everyone's feelings as colleagues and dragged everyone into the water, risking being held accountable by the emperor.
risks of.
On the contrary, Fang Jun was willing to tolerate the situation despite his great victory and did not make the matter a big deal, thus saving everyone's official positions and titles.
Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing goods.
Compared with Fang Jun, his Zuo Shilang is simply selfish and narrow-minded...
Fang Jun raised his hand, cupped his fists and saluted politely, and said with a smile: "In that case, I will take my leave first. If there is any trouble later, I hope you can negotiate and resolve it calmly, or you can go to the Ministry of War to meet with me.
."
"Don't worry, Fang Shaobao, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this matter!"
"Master Fang, please go away!"
"You walk slowly!"
…
A group of officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs sent Fang Jungong to the gate. They watched Fang Jun get on his horse and ride away before turning back to the lobby.
They all surrounded Cui Dunli and sighed: "Fang Erlang is really upright! If it were someone else this time, how could he be so willing to let it go?"
Cui Dunli twisted his beard and smiled, nodding frequently.
But there are some doubts in my heart: when he first came, Fang Jun brought his personal troops with more than a dozen people, so why did he only have a few or two horses when he left?
