After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took over the Ministry of Civil Affairs in place of Tang Jian, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who was seriously ill, he tried his best to transfer Pei Xingjian from Jiangnan to serve as the doctor of the Ministry of Finance. Everyone in the Ministry of Civil Affairs was silent in response, but it does not mean that there is no other mentality in everyone's mind.
thought.
This is the norm in the officialdom. Regarding the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, everyone in the Ministry of Civil Affairs knows that this is a training opportunity given by His Majesty to the prince. Naturally, no one wants to get involved, but the various positions under it are all red.
Staring.
Who doesn’t want to advance further in officialdom?
Who doesn’t want to be a member of the prince system?
Fortunately, Pei Xingjian's appointment received a strong attack from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Even though he personally transferred Pei Xingjian to the Ministry of Civil Affairs as a prince, the Ministry of Civil Affairs refused to issue the appointment.
As a result, everyone felt a little happy about the misfortune. In addition, they also had a deeper understanding of the increasingly fierce competition for reserves between North Korea and China.
There were more and more spectators, which immediately reduced the prince's prestige in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The officials were no longer as obedient as they were at the beginning. Although they did not dare to contradict him face to face, all kinds of overt and covert violations were unavoidable in the dark.
Appear……
However, just when everyone was adhering to a wait-and-see attitude and carefully avoiding being regarded as the prince's eagle dog by the outside world and unable to return to the world, suddenly a drama like "Fang Jun caused trouble among the officials" broke out.
When the news came, everyone in the Ministry of Civil Affairs was speechless.
They were originally waiting to see how His Highness the Crown Prince would break the deadlock in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and how he would regain his authority from the officials who were from Guanlong and supported the King of Jin. Unexpectedly, Fang Jun, the prince's most loyal "
"Eagle Dog", settled the matter in such a way that it almost broke the rules of officialdom...
Listening to the descriptions of the extreme embarrassment of the officials in the Ministry of Personnel, everyone can't help but feel sad and lucky.
Fortunately, I didn't act too tough in front of the prince, otherwise they would be the ones being pushed to the ground and rubbed by Fang Jun now...
Suddenly, the prince's prestige increased.
It is normal in the officialdom to favor the popular and suppress the unfavorable. Even for the prince, when the competition for the crown prince is fierce, there will be some people who do it half-heartedly. Everyone has their own interests and they are working tirelessly for the benefit.
Struggled and fought hard, Changsun Wuji even dared to protect Guanlong's interests in front of His Majesty, let alone a mere prince whose throne was fluttering in the wind?
As the news came from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs couldn't help but smile sincerely and respectfully when facing the prince, which deeply touched Li Chengqian.
No wonder there is a custom of "taking tea to cool down". This is really a reality in officialdom.
It's just that although his prestige has greatly increased due to this incident, he is not actually too excited. After all, Fang Jun's almost rogue behavior will inevitably be punished afterwards.
Not to mention the impeachment of Yushitai, his father would also severely punish him. Whether it was to protect the interests of the King of Jin or to maintain the dignity of the court, Fang Jun would not be able to escape punishment.
Li Chengqian knew in his heart that with Fang Jun's wisdom, the reason why he behaved so recklessly was entirely to protect his face as the prince, and at the same time boost the morale of the prince's family. It was not enough to say that he was "sacrifice for charity", but he had not yet
To the point of "sacrifice".
He was extremely moved.
In the collapse of the reserve position, which was in turmoil and almost lost, Fang Jun spared no effort to support me and gained a firm foothold step by step. Now, even with the support of my father, I still have the upper hand. How depressed I have been during this period.
, collapsed, how grateful and trusting I am to Fang Jun now.
A man dies for a man who knows him, and a woman looks like a man who pleases her. I will repay the man who knows me.
The ancients were able to care for each other sincerely and support each other in life and death, so why should the ancients be so beautiful as before?
Throughout my life, I will never fail...
*****
The riot in the bureaucracy caused a huge wave in the capital, and countless people devoted themselves to criticizing Fang Jun. Fortunately, many yamen had already closed their offices at this time, and the entire political hall was on holiday. This caused the impact of this turbulent wave.
It was limited and could not really affect the court.
However, the momentum is definitely not small.
Almost all officials outside the prince's line hated Fang Junzhi's actions. After all, everyone was hanging out in the officialdom, and there were some shady methods behind the scenes. This was inevitable. In this big dye vat, there were also
Who can be clean and pure and act in full accordance with the rules and regulations?
The reason why Fang Jun's move is so bad is that once someone follows his example, how can anyone become an official?
Unable to withstand the tactics behind the scenes, he acted violently and fought without even giving up his dignity. How could this happen?
If things continue like this, the officialdom is no longer relying on political wisdom and family background, but only relying on the holy family and fists, which is simply degrading to politeness!
Therefore, this trend must be strangled as soon as it sprouted. Almost all officials in the Long County were mobilized to criticize Fang Jun publicly or privately, as if his behavior of causing trouble among the officials was unworthy.
Compared with Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, Huo Guang's chaos in government was enough to be infamy for thousands of years, and it would be difficult to write about it.
It was a pity that during this period, all the government offices had been closed one after another, so the impact was extremely limited. Shortly afterwards, His Majesty Li Er announced the punishment for Fang Jun - a three-year fine to see the effect.
There is not even the cane punishment or flogging that was reserved in the past.
That’s it…
The ruling and opposition parties were shocked.
Is Fang Jun someone who is short of money? Even if he is fined more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, three years' salary is nothing. Everyone has smelled some intentions from His Majesty Li Er's decree.
Fang Jun, as always, not only dominated the court and the public with his holy family, but also spared no effort to attack the nobles of Guanlong.
On the one hand, they tacitly allowed the Guanlong nobles to support the Jin king in the fight for the throne, and on the other hand, they consistently suppressed the Guanlong nobles. This inconsistent operation made many people unable to understand...
In the flower hall of Duke Lu's mansion, Cheng Yaojin and Fang Jun were sitting opposite each other, accompanied by Cheng Chusi, Cheng Chuliang, Cheng Chubi and Fang Yizhi. There were countless fine wines and dishes on the round table in front of them.
Today, Cheng Yaojin invited Fang Jun to a banquet at his house. The two families are considered to be well-connected. Except for Fang Xuanling, who has completely declined the banquet, his mother Lu, his eldest daughter-in-law Du, Princess Gaoyang, Wu Meiniang, Jin Shengman, and Fang Yizhi
His wife Xiao Lu and other female family members also came together, and were being entertained by Cheng Chuliang's wife Princess Qinghe and the female family members of the Lu family in the next hall.
Ever since Cheng Chubi entered the East Palace and became one of the six leaders of the East Palace, Cheng Yaojin, a two-sided guy, completely devoted himself to the prince's line.
The rules in the officialdom have always been like this. If you are neutral, then you should stay out of the matter and help each other; if you are involved, you must choose one and follow it wholeheartedly. You must not be bipolar, ambiguous, not only the most
He is hated by others, and often he is not a human being inside and out.
Cheng Yaojin may seem rough, but in fact he has the highest level of political wisdom...
At the banquet, cups were exchanged. After three rounds of wine, Cheng Chusi blushed and praised: "Erlang's holy family is really the best in the world. Such a big thing that turned the civil servants' yamen upside down is just a trivial matter.
He was fined for three years and nothing happened, which is really enviable to others!"
What kind of crime is this to attack the central government office?
If it were an ordinary person, not to mention the death penalty, he would have to be exiled for at least three thousand miles. Even if he had meritorious service in the court, he would have to be demoted and seize a title as a warning to others. So when His Majesty Li Er's decree came from the Tai Chi Palace
At that time, my eyes dropped in shock.
The entire empire knows that His Majesty Li Er loves Fang Jun, but such a light punishment is really too much...
Cheng Yaojin took a sip of wine, glanced at his son, then looked at Fang Jun, and asked with a smile: "Is Erlang also proud of this?"
Fang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle, please don't joke. My nephew can't sleep at night and is in panic all day long. How can he have any joy? In comparison, my nephew would rather be punished severely by His Majesty, even if he is demoted or demoted.
On the contrary, it feels more practical.”
If something is abnormal, it is a monster.
His Majesty Li Er's reaction could hardly be described as uncharacteristic. It was simply unbelievable. Even though Fang Jun knew that His Majesty Li Er would not punish him severely, he never expected that it would be such a light punishment.
This will inevitably make the entire Guanlong nobles feel the same hatred. After all, they are old powerful men who have occupied the court for many years. Now they not only have to give up their interests step by step, but also don't even care about their faces.
Who can not be angry?
It is very likely that the Guanlong nobles, who are already on the verge of collapse, will unite again.
This is not a good thing.
Especially His Majesty Li Er’s intentions are even more incomprehensible...
