Under Cheng Wuting's scorching gaze, Gao Jingcheng had no choice but to fill in the words "Embroiderer, Qiu Shenji's widow" on the transcript...
This transcript fell into Fang Jun's hands. Gao Jingcheng could imagine that Fang Jun would have to hold on to him for many years to come. But if he could not appease Fang Jun at this time, once this matter was revealed by Fang Jun, then he would
Not only was his reputation immediately ruined, he had to be equipped with thirty or fifty strong generals to go in and out, otherwise he might have to be assassinated by death soldiers sent by Qiu Xinggong at some point.
Qiu Xinggong, who was famous for his cruelty at that time, heard that the widow of his beloved son had been defiled by Gao Xingyi, and it was not surprising that he did anything violent in a rage of hatred.
In comparison, no matter how treacherous Fang Jun is, it will not cost him his life...
Choosing the lesser of two evils, it is a helpless act to perform the higher one.
After the transcript was written, Cheng Wuting read it carefully again to confirm that Gao Jishi had not hidden any word games between the lines. Then he nodded with satisfaction and asked him to sign and stamp. Then he dried the ink stains and folded the board neatly.
, put it in your arms.
He motioned to the left and right to loosen Gao Xing's restraints, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry for disturbing Gao's consort Yaxing."
Gao Xingyi held back his anger and almost cursed.
Where did I get my elegance?
It's not like I was harmed by you...
However, the current situation is stronger than others, and there is no momentum to say harsh words. He stood up and wrapped the sheet around him, and said angrily: "Go back and tell Fang Jun. When I see him in the future, I will walk around and be on good terms with him."
He Shui, it's best to let this matter go for now. If you think you can blackmail me into obeying his orders with this transcript, you are simply wishful thinking!"
Cheng Wu sneered.
Since it was just wishful thinking, why were you so entangled when you just wrote the transcript?
He reminded again: "No one can predict Fang Erlang's temperament. If he is in a good mood, he may burn this record and no one will mention what happened today. But if he is in a bad mood, no one will know about him."
What can be done?”
Gao Jiancheng was furious: "How do I know whether he is in a good mood or not? Do you think I have to be served like a filial son and a virtuous grandson?"
Cheng Wuting said: "That's not necessary, but now Fang Erlang wants to enter the military aircraft office that is about to be established. If he can get his wish, it will naturally go well with him. But if his wish fails, he will inevitably feel frustrated, lonely and in a bad mood..."
Having said that, is there anything else you don’t understand?
Gao Xingcheng gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "It's not because I don't want to cooperate. I'm just a left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. How can I influence the decisions of the big shots in the court?"
Mother!
Setting such a trap, I thought it was just revenge for withholding funds from the Ministry of War, but I never expected that I would be waiting here...
Cheng Wuting shook his head and said: "Of course, the high-ranking consort cannot command the big shots in the court, but your father can... Although Shen Guogong has retired from official service, he promoted countless people back then. How many of the big shots in the court now are there?
Have you never received favors from Duke Shen? If you want to hear a word from Duke Shen, those people will definitely obey your orders."
Gao Xingcheng wanted to crash into the big tree behind him.
Did this idea come to my father's head?
Mother!
Not to mention whether my father will listen to my command, if you want to ask your father to take action in this matter, then you must tell the whole story about today's events. Otherwise, how can you have any reason for your father to support Fang Jun's rise to power?
But once you say it...
If you don't protect your father, you can break your own legs.
Gao Shilian, his father, and Qiu Xinggong's father, Qiu Henai, were close friends. Qiu Henai was a general of the Sui Dynasty. After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, it was Gao Shilian who led Qiu He to return to the Tang Dynasty, and supported Qiu Xinggong along the way.
Because of his in-law relationship with His Majesty Li Er, he strongly recommended Qiu Xinggong to join the Qin Palace and become a general who would follow His Majesty Li Er in his southern and northern campaigns.
So later Qiu Xinggong attached himself to Changsun Wuji and secretly betrayed Gao Shilian, which made Gao Shilian so angry that he became so disheartened that he resigned from all his posts and retired from office.
Now that I have stolen Qiu Shenji's widow, I will feel that I am not doing justice to the Qiu family because of my incorruptible and arrogant temperament. What I used to be reasonable and well-founded in front of the Qiu family has turned into a weak argument, and I can't even stand up. I will definitely regard it as a great shame and humiliation.
.
How can I spare him?
He said flatly: "Except for my unwillingness to cooperate, this matter will never be feasible!"
Cheng Wuting stood with his hands clasped and said calmly: "What to choose is naturally a matter for the emperor's consort, and I dare not say anything. However, compared with being punished by your father and having this matter spread all over the world, it is still an easy choice... I finished my words."
Here, please make your own decision, Prince Consort."
After saying this, he left with all the officials in a swaggering manner.
Gao Xingyi was so angry that he had no choice but to wrap himself up in a sheet and turn around to enter the room.
The embroiderer was probably drugged, and she was still in a drowsy sleep. Her hair was spread out on the snow-white pillow, and she looked like a flower. I felt pity for her.
Gao Xingyi pulled off the sheets, found his clothes under the bed, put them on in a hurry, looked at the beauty on the bed and sighed slightly.
I'm afraid I won't have the chance to enjoy such a stunning beauty in the future. After this incident, no matter how things develop, it will be difficult to renew their relationship.
Thinking about Cheng Wuting's words just now, my heart felt like a lead.
After thinking for a long time, he got up and walked out of the house, closed the door, followed the path he had taken many times until he came to a rockery, stepped on a stone under the wall, climbed up to the top of the wall, and jumped down from the other side.
Outside the wall is a secluded alley.
Walking out of the alley, there was a street full of pedestrians. Gao Xingyi raised his head and looked at the sky. It was in the middle of the day, probably before noon. He sighed deeply and walked along the street towards the Duke Shen's Mansion.
*****
Inside the yamen of the Ministry of War, it was noisy and lively.
The banquet was placed in the backyard of the Military Department Yamen. The first-class banquets from Songhe Tower were laid out like water. Jars of fine wine were placed on both sides. Several large branches in the courtyard were lush and leafy, providing shade. Military officials gathered around the table.
While sitting, there are six or seven tables.
Even the door to the front yard has a table set up inside the concierge...
Fang Jun was sitting at the main seat, surrounded by important officials from the Ministry of War. Everyone was vying for toasts, and the atmosphere was lively as they pushed glasses and changed cups.
Everyone was completely convinced by Fang Jun's abilities.
The funding issue that has been bothering the Ministry of War for many days has caused several officials to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to negotiate countless times, but without exception they all failed. The Ministry of Civil Affairs gave various excuses and refused to allocate funds.
As a result, Fang Jun took office in the morning and settled the matter before noon...
Gao Jishi, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, showed off his power in front of them. As a result, Fang Jun broke into the lobby of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and, in a few words, completely defeated Gao Jishi and instigated all the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to rebel. No one dared to stand
Talking behind Gao Xing.
The entire Ministry of War was suppressed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and lost all face. As a result, Fang Jun was immediately proud and proud.
How can such an officer not be loved?
Fang Jun drank a few glasses, smiled and stopped the toasts of all his subordinates, and said: "You can drink by yourself, why do you have to pour me down? Our Ministry of War has not been popular in the past, and it is this officer who is responsible for
During the period when I was serving as Minister Zuo, everyone worked together to slightly increase the influence of the Ministry of War. From now on, I hope that you can do your best to assist me, complete the errands assigned by His Majesty, and also improve the influence of our Ministry of War.
Build it into a military department and no longer be a dispensable role among the six departments!"
Everyone cheered loudly.
As a member of the Ministry of War, you are naturally willing to see the authority of the Ministry of War grow stronger. As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats. Whether you continue to stay in the Ministry of War for development, or you are transferred to other yamen, you will have a bright future.
A banquet gathered the spirit of everyone in the military department. Coupled with Fang Junfu's strength as soon as he took office, the entire military department was full of momentum and people's hearts were united.
Fang Jun looked at the lively scene and smiled slightly.
How to be a leader if team building is not done well?
As a leader, you cannot blindly force your subordinates to complete tasks and achieve goals. You must also relax and reward appropriately, work hard to manage the cohesion of a team, and activate the atmosphere of the team. Only in this way can you focus your energy in one place and get the result with half the effort.
times.
Guo Fushan drank a glass of wine, sighed, and said: "Young Master Fang doesn't know. You haven't been away for these days. It's not just the Ministry of Civil Affairs that has made us angry. The Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Personnel and other yamen are all blocking us, saying
After all, the benefits of forging firearms and re-dressing military horses are so great that anyone who looks at them will be jealous and want to pounce on them and take a bite."
As soon as these words came out, the wine table fell silent.
Liu Shi also sighed: "Who says it's not the case? I don't know how many people want to replace me as the head of the Ministry of War. To put it bluntly, isn't it because Xiaguan is in charge of the foundry bureau?"
Fang Jun listened and felt that it was appropriate.
Bustling and hustle and bustle, good things come and good things go, this is human nature.
But now that he is in charge of the Ministry of War, if anyone still wants to put their hands in to get meat to eat, then don't blame him for being rude...
When I was drunk and my ears were hot, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the front yard. Wei Ying, the leader of Fang Jun's personal soldiers, came quickly. Under the astonished eyes of all the officials, he walked directly to Fang Jun's side and leaned close to Fang Jun's ear.
He muttered a few words under his breath.
Fang Jun cheered up, laughed, and praised: "Well done!"
Then he faced everyone, raised his wine glass high, and said loudly: "Come on, come on, I am happy today, we will not go back until we are drunk!"
"You won't come home until you're drunk!"
"Drinking Saint!"
…
In the palace, His Majesty Li Er angrily placed the teacup on the table and cursed: "You bastard! This is simply lawless!"
Li Junxian, who stood solemnly in front of him, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, saying nothing...
