Fang Xuanling was very satisfied with her son's political talent.
But there is also some dissatisfaction...
This boy is always getting into trouble, often provoking His Majesty into a rage, not to mention being dismissed from office at random. He doesn't take his official position in the court seriously at all, and only wants to seek external employment. This is hard to see.
understood.
Of course, this was the previous view. With the current situation, spreading it outside may be the only way for Fang Jun to achieve success.
Fang Xuanling sighed: "This time your methods are a bit cruel. Although Zhang Fang and Lu Xiaoyu's families are far away from the south of the Yangtze River and have insufficient foundation in the court, they are the main figures in Qingliu after all. You will kill these two people at once."
The blow was so devastating that it offended all the people."
It is conceivable that although Fang Jun's method of "removing salary from the bottom of the cauldron" is indeed effective, it is really a bit violent to completely destroy the reputation of a clear civil servant. The other clear civil servants are inevitably jealous of Fang Jun, suppressing him behind his back, and slandering him through public opinion.
This is unavoidable.
If you can't take a breath, how can the Qingliu civil servants lose their face?
In the past, Fang Jun had a bad temper and was not liked by those elite civil servants who claimed to have a good upbringing. Now he is an outright enemy...
Fang Jun was also helpless and said with a bitter smile: "Can you blame the child? They regarded the child as the chicken and wanted to kill it to scare the emperor's monkey and stop the emperor from intervening in Jiangnan. If the child did not fight back desperately,
My reputation is probably so bad now that I can’t even think of a future for the rest of my life.”
This is no exaggeration.
In this era where reputation is more important than ability, once Fang Jun's impeachment is confirmed, his reputation will be ruined in a matter of seconds, and his career in officialdom will be cut off.
People with a bad reputation are not qualified to be officials...
The only reason is that these Qingliu civil servants are too cruel, they insist on burying Fang Jun in the dust, and he will not be able to stand up for the rest of his life! Although Fang Jun's methods are a bit fierce, what else can he do?
Fang Xuanling raised her hand and slapped Fang Jun on the back of the head, glared and yelled: "What nonsense are you talking about? You bastard, you really deserve a beating!"
To actually compare His Majesty to "the monkey" who kills the chicken to scare the monkeys, it is really lawless and unbecoming of a man!
At the same time, I was secretly worried that this bastard always seemed to lack enough respect for the emperor...
Fang Jun also realized that he had said the wrong thing and touched the back of his head without daring to say a word.
After a moment of silence, Fang Xuanling said: "The matter has come to this, daydreaming is useless, it will only increase troubles. But during this period of time, you should not cause trouble again, keep a low profile, and don't let others catch you. Besides...
"
Having said this, Fang Xuanling paused and felt a little sad.
During this impeachment trend, many innocent people pointed their fingers at Fang Xuanling. How could Fang Xuanling not discover the implications? Fang Xuanling was horrified by the full malice in it.
Although he was once the Prime Minister and had the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, who knew how long this friendship would last?
Who is dissatisfied with Fang Xuanling and wants to use this impeachment to involve him, ruin his reputation, and attack his WeChat? Not only does he know it clearly, but he believes that His Majesty is also clear-sighted.
However, His Majesty only acquiesced to Fang Jun's counterattack, but ultimately did not take any position on the accusation involving Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling understood that this did not mean that the emperor wanted to give up on him, but that the emperor was unwilling to deal with the person who was inciting the trouble behind him.
people.
Fang Xuanling was once the prime minister!
If someone accuses him of "teaching his son poorly and letting him commit crimes", the impact on his reputation will be immeasurable. Normally, His Majesty will definitely investigate to the end and clear Fang Xuanling's name.
Even if Fang Xuanling's crime is true, the emperor must protect the WeChat account of the current prime minister!
This is politics.
But the emperor's behavior was obviously still very kind and honorable to that man...
This is what worries Fang Xuanling.
The most fearful thing in everything is this kind of idealistic approach, no matter right or wrong, no matter the consequences, just act according to your heart.
In terms of "Holy Family", I still can't compare to him...
Fang Xuanling was a little helpless and a little frustrated.
Fang Jun is a smart and clear person. Just from Fang Xuanling's hesitant words and inexplicable depressed look, we can guess what he is thinking.
He didn't take it seriously.
He comforted softly: "In this world, the emperor is the most ruthless, because the emperor involves the greatest interests of the world. No matter what he thinks in his heart, he will eventually give in for the interests. As long as we can always give him huge benefits, then we
Your position will be as stable as Mount Tai."
The emperor is ruthless.
No matter what the emperor's character is, when faced with the interests of the empire, his choice will not be based on his heart, but will depend on the amount of interests.
Because the emperor bears the burden of the entire country, he cannot be allowed to be willful, otherwise, he will encounter a situation that will never be recovered.
Any smart emperor will suppress his own instincts, because they know that selfishness is the biggest disaster...
His Majesty Li Er is undoubtedly smart.
He could endure Wei Zheng's constant criticism and admonishment for decades, and was often made angry and angry by Wei Zheng, but he could do it every time.
Why?
Because he knew what Wei Zheng said was right, and by tolerating Wei Zheng, he could create an image of a wise and sage king for himself.
However, after Wei Zheng's death, his tampering with "Notes on Daily Life" was written down and spread. His Majesty Li Er naturally couldn't bear it, and there was no need to bear it, so he smashed all Wei Zheng's monuments.
This is the trade-off of interests.
The same is true for the Fang family.
When Fang Xuanling was alive, he was favored a hundred times more than anyone else in the world, because Fang Xuanling was not only loyal, but also a famous minister in the world. An eternal story about the relationship between monarch and minister can add luster to the image of His Majesty Li Er.
However, after Fang Xuanling's death, when faced with Fang Jun's involvement in the rebellion, His Majesty Li Er no longer showed the kindness and grace he had shown in the past, only being ruthless and ruthless.
This cannot be said that His Majesty Li Er has no feelings for Fang Xuanling. If Fang Jun were to be his consort honestly, His Majesty Li Er would not be stingy in giving the Fang family a lifetime of wealth. But Gao Yang, the troublemaker, encouraged the Fang family to scheme.
inverse……
Without Fang Xuanling's affection, if His Majesty Li Er doesn't take care of you, who will you take care of?
It's hard to say that this is another "killing a chicken to scare the monkey" drama, and Fang Jun is still the same chicken...
The only difference is that the current Fang Jun, a chicken, was protected by Fang Xuanling and was not killed; while the historical Fang Jun was eventually killed by His Majesty Li Er to scare those disobedient monkeys...
Being at the center of the empire, facing huge interests, it does not mean that there cannot be emotions, but every time there is a conflict between interests and emotions, a choice must be made.
Although most of the time, feelings must give way to interests...
Fang Jun was a man who saw these things clearly and thoroughly, so naturally he would not resent His Majesty Li Er because of this.
Only by working hard to improve your own value can you be qualified to ask for affection.
*****
The father and son talked for a long time and exchanged views on many situations in the DPRK and China.
What shocked and delighted Fang Xuanling was that this son, despite his usual careless appearance, actually had something beautiful in his heart.
So I am very relieved.
Just relying on his son's vigilance about the court situation, Fang Xuanling can rest assured. Even if he becomes an official in the future, or even goes to Hexi, the family will have Fang Jun around, at least there is no need to worry about being rich and stable.
Next, Fang Jun conscientiously prevented his name from appearing in public opinion.
Supervise the construction team of the Ministry of Industry to build houses, cultivate rice seedlings in greenhouses, and cotton seeds brought back from the Western Regions.
No one knows the importance of cotton better than Fang Jun!
You must know that the so-called cloth in ancient China generally refers to linen. People use the word "cloth" to describe common people because the poor cannot afford silk fabrics and can only cover their bodies with linen.
The poem "Chong Fu" describes that in the "official treasury" "silk silk is like mountains and silk wadding is like clouds." The government collected a large amount of silk floss from the people to provide officials and soldiers with winter clothes.
Du Fu's "Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind" said: "The quilt has been cold as iron for many years, and the arrogant children have been lying on it and it has cracked on the inside." This refers to the linen quilt made of silk and cotton wadding. After many years of use, "the arrogant children have been lying on it."
Has lost its thermal insulation effect...
The historical status of cotton is only slightly lower than that of grain.
Therefore, Fang Jun attaches great importance to it.
Chongxian Hall, Fangfu, Lishan Farm, three o'clock and one line every day.
Fang Jun knew that he had aroused the hostility of Qingliu civil servants. The best thing to do in the short term was to stay in seclusion, keep a low profile and keep a low profile, and not cause trouble...
