It will take a few days to assemble the hot air balloon. Fang Jun has no doubt about its performance. He just instructs the craftsmen to pay more attention to safety and ensure that all parts meet the requirements without any carelessness.
A servant in Zhuangzi came to report that it was Ma Zhou, a member of Zhongshushe, who had sent someone to invite him to discuss the Spring Festival.
In the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, there is no doubt about Fang Jun's talent. The reform of the entire imperial examination system and the improvement of regulations can all show the ability of the Fang family. But it is obvious that Fang Jun's temper is a bit irritable, and he seems to have
I am not very interested in such detailed matters, so omissions will inevitably occur.
And those "great gods" in the Ministry of Etiquette are all people who are indifferent to fame and fortune. They let Fang Jun do whatever he wants. They don't care whether he does right or wrong. As long as they can relax a little and spend more time reading, drinking tea and admiring flowers.
If you want to play with birds, then let him go...
What kind of tricks can Fang Jun do without any constraints?
His Majesty Li Er was really unsure, so he had no choice but to insert his right-hand assistant Ma Zhou into Chunwei's preparatory team to check and balance Fang Jun. Moreover, Ma Zhou was a man of outstanding talent and prudent behavior, which was the most reassuring.
Fang Jun didn't mind someone coming to fight for power, and he had a very good impression of Ma Zhou and didn't have any resistance at all.
The personal attendant sent by Ma Zhou expressed his apology sincerely when they met. According to the official position, Fang Jun was more than one step ahead of Ma Zhou. It was supposed to be Ma Zhou who came to visit, but Ma Zhou, as the middle school secretary
He is the number one secretary of His Majesty the Emperor, and he has too many things to do. But as the New Year is approaching, and the Spring Festival is coming soon after, Fang Jun actually has the task of taking care of King Li Tai of Wei, staying at home
His head was basically hidden, which made Ma Zhou very anxious. In desperation, he had no choice but to ask Fang Jun to meet him in Menxia Province.
Fang Jun went happily.
If you can have someone with outstanding abilities to help share the work and responsibilities, why not?
He immediately did not ride in his extremely coquettish four-wheeled carriage, but rode a strong horse to the imperial city.
Menxiasheng is just outside Zhuque Gate and faces Taiji Palace across a sky street.
The building is not grand, the decoration is not gorgeous, and it is even a bit old and shabby, but it is the place closest to the emperor. All the emperor's edicts are drafted here, and then stamped with jade seals to be published throughout the world.
The yard was clean and tidy. It was almost noon and most of the officials had gone off duty. The provincial government office was quiet. The bluestone slabs were neat and smooth. The whitewash on the walls had fallen off in many places. Several tall plants in the corners were
The bare branches of the locust tree are ugly, and there are even a few crows' nests on the branches...
It is deserted and simple, which is difficult to match its status as the center of the empire.
The doorman led Fang Jun to a duty room, without knocking on the door, and said softly: "Your Excellency has already given instructions. As soon as the Marquis arrives, he will invite you in immediately. No notification is needed."
Fang Jun nodded. This should be Ma Zhou's apology and respect for him. After all, it was unreasonable to call him here based on his official position.
Fang Jun didn't care about this, so he opened the door and entered.
The check-in room was very bright, with almost no redundant furnishings. There was only a huge bookshelf placed on the wall, occupying an entire wall, with countless books neatly placed on it.
The decoration is simple and slightly old-fashioned, but it fits well with Ma Zhou's calm and low-key style that always dislikes luxury.
There were two people in the duty room, both standing in front of the writing desk. One was holding a pen and writing according to the desk, and the other was watching with his hands behind his back.
The person who was writing was facing the door. As soon as Fang Jun came in, he noticed it, put down the brush in his hand, stood up, walked around the desk, raised his hand to Fang Jun and said with a smile: "I have seen Mr. Hou, he should be..."
I went to pay a visit to the Marquis, but unfortunately I was too busy with chores to leave, so I took the liberty to send someone to invite you. I hope the Marquis will forgive me for being rude!"
Fang Jun laughed, held Ma Zhou's hand, and said without any grudges: "Why is this? Fang has always been used to being lazy, and having such a smart and capable helper like Brother Ma is what he wants. He can't wait to hand over all the affairs."
It’s better for me to be completely clean in my brother’s hands! You are a busy person and I am an idle person. If anything happens in the future, just send someone to call and I will be there when you call me!”
This statement made Ma Zhou very flattered.
At this time, Ma Zhou was only trusted by His Majesty Li Er, so he was appointed as Zhongshu Sheren and served in the Menxia Province. His status was by no means comparable to that of when he later served as Zhongshu Ling. Others respected him only because
He was a close official of the emperor, but not because of his official position.
And who is Fang Jun?
Fang Xuanling's son, His Majesty's emperor's son-in-law, a dignified marquis, and Minister of Rites!
He used his status to throw himself off the streets of Mazhou! Moreover, this man's reputation for being a free-spirited person spread throughout Guanzhong, and he would not sell anyone's face. Even the prince's ministers who didn't like him would beat him without mercy.
At first, Ma Zhou sent someone to invite Fang Jun. To be honest, he was quite uneasy. If Bang Chui thought he looked down on him, it would be troublesome. But who knew that his immediate boss, Zhongshu Ling Cen Wenwen, would suddenly condescend to visit him. What would happen to him?
Can you put Cen Wenwen aside?
But Fang Junchunfeng's face was full of smiles and kind words, and he spoke in a friendly manner, which made Ma Zhou very confused: Could it be that the rumors about this person's temperament were all based on rumors, and that was not the case at all?
But as long as Fang Jun didn't show any anger, Ma Zhou could tolerate even a few sarcastic words, not to mention the face given by others?
Ma Zhou immediately smiled and said: "Master Hou, I really don't dare to take these words seriously. The imperial examination system you drafted and compiled has been read by me many times. The wisdom, wisdom and whimsical ideas revealed between the lines will definitely have an impact on the imperial examination."
It is an unimaginable far-reaching influence. It is no exaggeration to say that you single-handedly laid the foundation for a century-old imperial examination!"
Everyone is carrying the sedan chair. Although Ma Zhou is honest and upright, it does not mean that he cannot speak some polite words. This kind of attitude of hello, me, and everyone is what every successful official must have. He is as selfless and unselfish as Hai Rui.
Anyway, no matter how talented you are, no matter which dynasty you live in, the ending may not be good...
It doesn’t matter who is noble and who is worldly, who is upright and selfless and who just goes with the flow, this is how the world is, and you can only actively integrate into it.
Fang Jun was a little ashamed.
His so-called wisdom, so-called whimsical ideas, are only built on the shoulders of countless predecessors and sages. They took advantage of the advantages of time-travelers and plagiarized them without shame. Faced with Ma Zhou's praise, he felt a little guilty...
…
At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been standing in front of the desk with a smile waved his hands and said with a smile: "You two, please don't flatter me like this. I feel so sad and about to vomit... King Bin, this painting is not finished yet, hurry up."
After you finish painting it, Erlang will come over and appreciate King Bin's paintings."
This person is none other than Zhongshu Lingcen Wenwen.
Cen Wenwen has a good relationship with Fang Xuanling, and they have met Fang Jun many times. But speaking of it, Fang Jun is more familiar with his brother Cen Wenwen, the magistrate of Xinfeng County...
Zhongshu Ling was also one of the de facto prime ministers, and his seniority was higher than that of Fang Jun. Fang Jun stepped forward to greet him, then stood beside Cen Wenwen and looked at the remaining unfinished paintings on the desk.
The ink is dripping on the rice paper, and several Hsinchu bamboo poles are drawn, thin and tall, standing next to the stone. The bamboo leaves are staggered and scattered, showing different levels with different shades. The lines are sharp and powerful, the pen and ink are delicate, and full of life. The picture is elegant and beautiful, with high charm and charm. He has an air of uprightness and uprightness.
Fang Jun didn't know much about painting, but he could tell that it was definitely a rare masterpiece. Standing on the side of the bookcase and watching with cold eyes, he felt a rugged and upright meaning coming out of the paper, which was refreshing!
Ma Zhou returned to the desk, picked up the brush, and said with a smile: "You're showing off your humiliation!"
After concentrating and thinking for a moment, you can write as if you are inspired, just a few strokes, and they are done in one swipe.
Cen Wenwen praised: "The shades are appropriate, the layers are well-organized, the layout is dense and dense, without any disorder, and the structure is tight and rigorous. A few Hsinchu trees, twisting and turning, are full of vitality. King Bin's skills have become more and more outstanding, and he has reached the level of everyone. Compared to Eryan, I don’t have to worry about making too many concessions.”
"Bin Wang" is the character of Ma Zhou, not the famous Luo Bin Wang. "White hair floating on green water" is Luo Prodigy, who is probably still in his infancy at this time and has not been weaned... As for "Er Yan", it is The famous brothers Yan Lide and Yan Liben.
Ma Zhou put down his pen and said quickly: "Your Excellency, you are very complimentary. The two Mr. Yans are extremely talented and talented people. They are role models for us and role models for us to learn from. How can we dare to compare them to each other?"
