"Then do you know why you were placed in the Ministry of Rites and not the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Education?"
"How do I know this?" Fang Jun said depressedly.
In fact, what he was thinking was, isn't it because the Ministry of Rites is a Qingshui Yamen that only talks nonsense and has no power?
"Haha!" Fang Xuanling shook his head and laughed: "You, don't go out and get into trouble when you have nothing to do all day long. In your free time, you should also pay attention to the situation in the DPRK, and at least understand some trends. Don't think that you haven't done anything yet.
Once you enter the center, you can stay out of things. The situation in the court is like a net, and a single move can affect the whole body. Often, even a small and inconspicuous matter can reveal the secret of heaven."
Fang Jun was completely confused...
He is not the first brother in the officialdom, nor is he ignorant of some of the hidden rules of the officialdom. However, the eras of his life are more than a thousand years apart, and the social gap is too huge, which also leads to the completely different forms of the officialdom, and the monarchy society
The two political systems are even more different from those of socialism.
He knew some of the ways of being an official, but he had only a limited understanding of the rules of officialdom in the feudal dynasty.
Fang Jun then humbly said: "Please ask father to teach me."
Fang Xuanling was very satisfied to see her son asking for advice humbly instead of complaining.
It is very rare for young people to have such a state of mind and not complain blindly. The way of officialdom is unpredictable, profound and dark. No matter how talented and intelligent people are, they cannot know it from birth. They will always suffer setbacks, and even
Only by breaking your head and bleeding can you learn the three flavors, but the price is too high.
Some people are able to carefully ponder and reflect again and again, and are able to uncover the secrets and rise to the top; while others are full of resentment and disheartened. Not only are their career setbacks, but even more, they are imprisoned and their reputations are ruined. There are also a few...
Fortunately, with my guidance, Erlang should be able to avoid detours!
"In this dynasty, the Ministry of Rites has always been a marginal office, with no real power and no benefits. It seems to be forgotten and inconspicuous." Fang Xuanling said seductively: "However, during the reign of Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty, the Ministry of Rites was
Why do you think it is the most prominent yamen in the world, on par with the civil service department?"
Fang Jun blinked and thought about it carefully. It seemed that the Ministry of Rites in his memory was indeed one of the most prominent yamen in the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties. Anyone who served as the Minister of Rites had a reputation for being knowledgeable and talented.
Illustrious people, even in the late Ming Dynasty, those who had not served as the Minister of Rites were not allowed to join the cabinet and become the Prime Minister...
But why did the Minister of Rites during the Zhenguan period have such no sense of existence?
What's the difference?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and Fang Jun blurted out: "Imperial examination?!"
Fang Xuanling was filled with great comfort and looked like a child who could be taught, and happily said: "In April of the third year of Emperor Yang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, he ordered civil and military officials who have official duties to be 'filial piety and brother-in-law' and 'be virtuous and honest'.
The ten imperial examination candidates, such as 'sworn brothers', 'clean conduct', 'strong and upright', 'unforgiving in adhering to the constitution', 'excellent in academics', 'beautiful in literature', 'capable of generals', 'arrogant in physical strength', etc.
From then on, in every imperial examination, the examiners were all ministers of the Ministry of Rites. Such a prominent position was naturally coveted by officials in the court. Once they took office, they would be responsible for the important task of promoting the world's elites. Who would win?
If you are not grateful and grateful, you are willing to be like a dog or a horse? However, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos and the Central Plains was in turmoil. To this day, Your Majesty has decided to reopen the imperial examination to attract talented people from all over the world."
Fang Jun was stunned: "Your Majesty wants to reopen the imperial examination and let me be the examiner?"
What a god! Wouldn’t that mean he would become the “teacher” of countless students, with students all over the world?
"What a beautiful idea!" Fang Xuanling scolded and said helplessly: "You have such little ability, but you still want such a beautiful job? At best, it's just for you to help me and gain a good reputation. You, you are not qualified!"
"That's true..." Fang Jun woke up from his sweet dream and asked: "Then who is the current Minister of Rites?"
Fang Xuanling really wants to slap this bastard son. It's been a few days since he came back and he doesn't even know who his immediate boss is?
Lao Fang snorted and said angrily: "It's Kong Yingda!"

"Shenji Camp has returned to the city for several days. Why doesn't Fang Jun go to the Ministry of Etiquette to take up his new post? What is he doing?"
His Majesty Li Er was sitting cross-legged on the couch, holding a copy of "Wei Liao Zi" in his hand. He was reading it with relish and asked casually. On one side of the brocade couch, Princess Gaoyang was sitting dignifiedly on her knees, with her slender fingers peeling a piece of paper.
Take a pomegranate, peel out the bright red seeds completely, and place it on the crystal clear glass plate in front of you. Your Majesty Li Er will eat one at will, and then spit the core into the spittoon at hand.
Hearing Fang Jun's name, Princess Gaoyang raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Li Junxian in front of the couch, but said nothing. She lowered her head again and peeled the pomegranate dexterously with her fingers, her two small ears as crystal as jade.
But quietly stood up...
Li Junxian replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, after returning from the Western Regions, the Marquis of Xinxiang first resigned from the post of admiral of the Shenji Camp, and then did not return home. Instead, he took the ashes of the Shenji Camp soldiers who died in the Western Expedition, together with your Majesty's
The rewards are in line with the merits of the Ministry of War, and they are delivered to relatives from door to door. Even if they are in a remote place, they are never given to others."
His Majesty Li Er snorted: "Not back home? This bastard, on the night he just returned to Chang'an, he ran back to Lishan Farm in a hurry. Do you think I don't know? This move has violated military discipline, but
I don’t care about it, I just care about it.”
Hearing this, Princess Gaoyang's delicate hands peeling the pomegranate paused slightly and bit her red lips gently.
On the night he returned to Chang'an, did he ignore military discipline and run back to the farm? This black-faced god must have been so fascinated by Wu Meiniang's foxy girl that he couldn't wait to run back to enjoy the pleasure of fish and water...
That's too much!
After you get married, if you are still so greedy for beauty, you will definitely look good!
Princess Gaoyang was thinking angrily in her heart about how to punish the philandering Fang Jun. She thought of the safest way. She felt proud, her red lips curled up slightly, and she subconsciously moved her hand. The bright red pomegranate seeds suddenly shattered, and liquid oozed everywhere.
splash……
His Majesty Li Er cursed a few words, then put the military book in his hand on the couch, sighed softly, and said helplessly: "This guy is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. This is like inviting the general to buy a god."
Who is unwilling to die for the soldiers of the Machine Battalion? Even if Chong'er takes over the Shenji Battalion, the hearts of the soldiers will be divided and he will be unable to control it. Fang Er, it is indeed a good method! In comparison, Chong'er is less experienced than Chong'er.
, it’s still a bit worse..."
Li Junxian remained silent.
Since we know that Changsun Chong is not as good as Fang Jun, why should we hand over Shenji Camp, which Fang Jun founded, to Changsun Chong? This not only dampens Fang Jun’s loyalty to the country, but also makes the Shenji Camp’s people unstable.
It is really unwise to make Changsun Chong very anxious.
But for Li Junxian, who had always admired His Majesty Li Er, he really did not believe that the wise and mighty Emperor of the Tang Dynasty could pull off such an obviously bad move...
Is there any mystery in it?
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with him. Li Junxian neither asked nor said...
Princess Gaoyang was secretly proud.
Changsun Chong has always been a good boy in the eyes of his elders. He is extraordinary in literary talent, handsome and heroic, smart, wise, gentle, mature and capable of taking on big responsibilities... Almost all praises are accompanied by Changsun Chong.
Especially his father, who valued his cousin and brother-in-law very highly. More than once, when he was teaching his brother Ji a lesson, he used Changsun Chong as a model so that his brothers could learn from it...
But for such a charming and dazzling person, his father personally admitted that he was not as good as Fang Jun!
Her Royal Highness the Princess is very proud of herself.
My husband-in-law is indeed no worse than anyone else...
His Majesty Li Er sighed for a few words, and while eating pomegranates, he said: "Don't worry about these two guys, they are fierce fire and true gold, or they are just superficial, you have time to sharpen them. You can spread the news
, after the Shangyuan Festival next year, I will appoint Kong Yingda, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, to offer wine to the prince of the country. At that time, I will come in person to observe the interpretation and pay tribute to the Chinese culture."
The so-called "contemplation of interpretation is based on Chinese studies" means that a great ceremony of interpretation and interpretation is held to commemorate the sage Confucius. Confucian scholars hold the scriptures and declare their meanings, debate with each other, and promote the meaning of Confucian scriptures.
After a pause, His Majesty Li Er continued: "At the same time, the "Three Character Classic" compiled by Fang Jun will be published to the world, and the movable type printing technology invented by him will be announced to the public!"
"promise!"
Li Junxian's heart trembled. Your Majesty is going to put Fang Jun on the fire...
