"Come back early after the banquet. I have something to discuss with Alang."
After sending Zheng Shuqing away, Fang Chongyong was about to go out, but was stopped by Wang Yunxiu, who looked troubled.
"Is Madam pregnant so soon? The wedding must be arranged in advance."
Fang Chongyong said jokingly, but Madam Wang slapped him hard on the arm and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! Haven't you only been back for a few days? How can a child come out of my belly? Or do you think of me as a human being?"
The unruly bitch?"
"Oh, yes, it is indeed impossible. So, what exactly is the lady going to say?"
Fang Chongyong said with a foxy look on his face.
Trivial matters in the family are also unlikely. Although Wang Yunxiu and Anaye are rude, they are both reasonable women and accept each other's existence. On weekdays, most of them just quarrel with each other.
They will not take the initiative to destroy the stability of the family, and they all know that the environment Fang Chongyong faces is full of challenges, and there are no external conditions for conflicts.
In the officialdom, officials who had their homes confiscated and exterminated because of a little trouble at home were not alone. It could even be said that they were caught in large numbers.
Wang Yunxiu, who was born into an official family, naturally knows the importance.
Dong Guangyan's eight words determined the living conditions of very few people in Hexi. He raised the board low and put it down again and again.
It’s just a matter of time and whether the process is smooth or tragic.
"What are you doing with so few people? It's just like when he goes out to study the art of war. There is a sentence below in the book of war that says, 'Soldiers are more important than fewer soldiers.'"
However, when Dong Guangyan came to Dong Guangyan's house in Pingkangfang, full of worries, he found that... our family was extremely intense today, and it was even quiet as if we hadn't gone to bed yet, but it looked like we were having a family dinner!
That move is a "bad move" against a "bad move". As long as you want to show off, you are the only one who is so shy!
However, because Li Longji himself despised the Jingzhao Prefecture Yamen, he did not place any hope on the Jingzhao Prefecture Yamen.
Zheng Shuqing held Jin Wuwei's hand tightly and said. My good housekeeper is really trying his best to help me build a "lady network" and secretly inquire about all kinds of information through those women.
Dong Guangyan said in a deep voice.
There are originally a lot of people here who can handle things. Once we get busy, what should we do if something small happens in Chang'an and the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen needs to come forward?"
"Um."
Zheng Shuqing said eloquently.
As for those who attend other people's family banquets, they should also carefully observe various situations at the banquet, and be tolerant and restrain their own words and deeds.
We must get married, so which one of them should we get married to, and what is the character of the person who wants to get married?
Fang Chongyong pointed to the dazzling array of dishes under the table and said to Zheng Shuqing.
That is the so-called "if there is hope, there is no disappointment". Even Alang will have a headache where to find a "qualified dog officer" like Zheng Fuyin.
Zheng Shuqing looked around for seven weeks, always feeling that it was difficult to hide people in front of those screens and eavesdrop on my conversation with Fang Chongyong.
If no one greeted him and a few torches were lit outside the courtyard, Dong Guangyan would have wanted to go home directly.
It's Dong Guangyan's turn to be surprised! Fang Chongyong actually has such a dismissive attitude towards a small matter that I think is of vital importance to his life?
"Go back to Prime Minister Zuo, there is a solution to this matter.
Fang Zhongyong was shocked, and suddenly felt that what Zheng Shuqing said was extremely maneuverable. It was very unlikely that Li Linfu's routine had not been implemented yet!
"Anyway, it's not that kind of thing anymore. That favor, should we help, or should we help?
Dong Guangyan came over and whispered in my ear for a long time. Zheng Shuqing's face became more and more solemn, his fists were clenched tightly, and he quickly released them.
"Because the right prime minister has not invited you, but the left prime minister has invited you."
Zheng Shuqing did not say what to do, but analyzed the nature of the incident and vaguely hinted: That incident can be hard-hit!
Come here, prepare the food, I want to have a drink with General Fang!"
In old cases, the witnesses and physical evidence have long been changed beyond recognition. Even without the help of ghosts and gods, it is difficult to clarify the rights and wrongs of the past. That is the enemy's strength in the art of war. In any case, to deal with such things, you must use your strengths and avoid weaknesses.
.It is advisable to deal with it head-on and get twice the result with half the effort.”
Zheng Shuqing asked in confusion. The more I listened, the more confused I became!
Whether the little husband has a hard waist or not, it all depends on that!
Fang Chongyong put the booklet aside casually, as if he was satisfied with it.
Fang Chongyong put down his pen and sighed heavily:
"But he thinks that Li Linfu is surrounded by people with nothing to lose, so he can even deal with that kind of thing?"
Power! Power! Authority!
"What is processing?"
Fang Chongyong casually put the booklet under the candlelight and lit it, and then said with concern: "Is there anything going on in Hexi now?"
It's just that, apart from looking for these old cases, there may be no other tricks. Those bad tricks are routine, and this is the first time Xiao Tang has encountered them since the founding of the country. Whenever he wants to get rid of someone in a certain place
When he was a governor or county magistrate, he hated using the "saturation attack of old cases" method to impeach laziness and neglect of government.
It must be said that Zheng Shuqing's analysis was spot-on, and he was indeed the key figure who helped Zheng Fuyin save the day from danger many times!
Li Linfu's troubles in Chang'an only caused trouble for Zheng Fuyin, but made Dong Guangyan exhausted! In the end, who will be more unlucky is anyone's guess.
Fang Chongyong laughed and ordered his master to serve the dishes. Then he took Dong Guangyan to a private room, which was blocked by screens for seven weeks, leaving only a few gaps.
However, I instantly fell down and asked:
"A saint can take care of things, ask questions, and at worst pretend to know."
"Alas, there is no family banquet in Japan today, just because of the government affairs, it is delicious for me to eat!
But Li Linfu must have let our white gloves take action to solve some small and important cases that cause panic in a small area of society. Then it will be Zhang Shougui who takes action!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jin Wuwei was so excited that he came over and kissed Zheng Shuqing on the face, and pushed me out of the courtyard door.
Moreover, the imperial examination is a fig leaf for the imperial court, and Alang is a face-saving person. If that fig leaf is torn off, it will make me furious!
I nodded slightly and continued to object: "What I want is just attitude, it's the details. His attitude makes me very satisfied."
"It's bad, it's bad, go to the banquet slowly, go early and come back early."
The saint has no eyes and ears in Chang'an, so he would naturally know about such things."
A "big" family dinner is more than an in-depth examination of the family's interpersonal network. Can this be a complicated matter?
All I saw was papers under my desk. Not to mention it was a family banquet, I didn’t even see a single piece of pastry. The little left prime minister of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be very different between his state at home and at the Yamen!
"I know the truth. I have never had any contact with Li Linfu about the Hexi incident. After all, I am a military envoy of the Jiankang Army. It is surprising that I have no connections in Hexi.
If you absolutely have to deal with it, use the procrastination technique.
It's a taboo to talk lightly and talk deeply. Fang Chongyong swallowed the questions he almost couldn't hold back and immediately put on a smile.
Now the prime minister just wants to know why he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion before returning to Chang'an, instead of coming to the prime minister's house."
It is certain that Dong Guangyan took over or handled it badly, so Zhang Yi, the prime minister in the imperial censor, turned to the right prime minister. At the same time, he impeached Zheng Fuyin for official business, laziness and neglect of government.
Dong Guangyan murmured to himself.
"Now that we've finished talking about official business, we can't talk about private things at will. Come, come, come, eat the food, eat the food."
After finishing speaking, Zheng Shuqing saluted Fang Chongyong with his hands crossed.
Humans are social animals and show social status through social attributes. Everything at the family dinner is a projection of Fang Chongyong’s social status, and living in this world is a matter of gain.
Whether an official's wife is virtuous in the eyes of local people often depends on your ability to organize family dinners.
Dong Guangyan was very curious, what on earth was the little left prime minister of the Tang Dynasty busy with? I was also busy rebelling! Why did I still have to work after I got home?
The so-called "family banquet" of an official's family must be a banquet for all family members, and invite bad friends who have no relationship with the family, and even invite colleagues with bad relations outside the yamen to participate.
After that, Dong Guangyan also held a meeting with his cronies and analyzed everything. Whether Dong Guangyan's counterattack could be determined, how would it end!
If no one in the court presses, just say that the case is being handled and wait until the saint returns to Chang'an. Then he can make a bet. Whoever can handle it will come down to handle the old case. If he can handle it, just shut up.
If I am definitely helping, I am a trustworthy person. If I am rejected by some people in the future, it will be difficult for me to help Brother Ji get information."
Zheng Shuqing bowed deeply and said.
"Well, let's do that. Redo the accounts of the seven states in Hexi and send them to him for external audit. If he thinks there are problems, then send them to the Shangshu Mansion and submit them to the Ministry of Punishment for audit.
"The right minister plans to organize two days ago to organize some of the victims who have complained to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen over the past seven years to come here to complain to the officials. Up to seventy cases a day.
There is a price for delaying time, and the price is not that all the manpower of Jingzhao Mansion Yamen is tied up in those old cases!
However, the imperial examination has not been held yet, so why can't we defeat both the Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Rites with one move?
"So, what is going on?"
Fang Chongyong asked with squinted eyes, his tone gradually becoming serious.
Although the accounts are false, the errands are real."
Fang Chongyong asked with his head raised.
I heard that the left prime minister himself approved of the imperial examination, so something small must have happened during the examination. It is difficult to judge what the saint would think."
Fang Chongyong felt that Wang Yunxiu would not find fault with that "vixen" and would not treat Anaye as a thorn in his side.
"There's someone outside the house. Please tell me what's wrong. I'm just the prime minister. I'm tired of asking you to treat me like you."
That time you made a big mistake and failed to get ahead. Dong Guangyan naturally wanted to help you finish the job. Dealing with the previous troubles may have a beneficial impact.
"It's processing."
Of course, this is not the case.
"Yeah, I got it."
Zheng Shuqing said with concern.
Then we will use our own perceptions to judge what strategy we should adopt when interacting with that family in the future.
Through the ostentation of the family banquet, the number of dishes and even the number of servants, people can judge whether the official family is making progress or has fallen into decline! Whether the members of that family are divided and unified, or whether they are full of contradictions.
And Dong Guangyan disobeyed Li Linfu's orders when Fang Chongyong was supervising the country. This was also a check and balance of power designed by Alang!
This booklet of mine is theoretically important evidence that can bring down Li Linfu!
You go to the house of anyone who invites you. That sounds like child's play, but Dong Guangyan chewed the mystery carefully and felt that it was trivial and meaningless!
"But you can call me madam, but you can't call this one without the prime minister."
Zheng Shuqing said sternly.
My very casual words there determined whether certain people in the seven states of Hexi would live a bad life, be promoted and make a fortune, or flee to the Western Regions, or even be killed!
The Chinese language is broad and profound, and things that are often called "cautious" are very "out of the world", so you have to be fully prepared to deal with them.
"The saint made a lot of profit from the business in Hexi. At the same time, he stabilized the border army and the border town.
The state banquet of the Tang Dynasty is of course a must-have. It is a living standard for the state banquets of Zheng Shuqing and later generations, but it is far more luxurious.
"Of course I have to help. There is no basic justice in this world. Madam is wholeheartedly thinking about you. Of course you understand that the matter will be taken care of by you."
It will definitely help, if there is no risk.
After hearing those words, Fang Chongyong immediately put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Wonderful!"
The Jingzhao Mansion Yamen will definitely be the first to be punished. This is recognized by everyone.
"That's the killing move of the right prime minister. I also know that the right prime minister doesn't have any tricks.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chang'an's Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den, brute force is useful, and cold-bloodedness is also useful. If you want to survive, you can only rely on your brain!
Just seeing that Fang Chongyong was willing to let this incident go to deal with his political opponents just because he was afraid of touching Alang's interests, I knew that I would definitely be the first to laugh!
Dong Guangyan said meaningfully.
Brother Ji is really interested in the beauties around the princes, emperors and grandsons outside the Ten Kings' House. Do we have the kind of beauties we want? Do we need to offend the governor of Hedong and do something to me?"
Seeing Zheng Shuqing's "shocked" look, Dong Guangyan said with a smile on his face:
"Speaking of attracting bees and butterflies, I am really like this vixen outside the family. Even if we want to attack me, it will be because of the power of my father, Hedong Jiedushi, rather than my beauty.
The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen are all Fang Chongyong's base.
In this case, it is like being thick-skinned. As long as you are patient, it is not others who are slow.
After a while, Zheng Shuqing was led to the study by the Master, and he saw Fang Chongyong who was working at his desk.
Zheng Shuqing took a deep breath. I can't say yet: Fang Chongyong, who takes Alang's affairs as his own, will definitely win in the fight with Right Minister Li Linfu.
That kind of banquet was an important social etiquette occasion for feudal nobles and official families, and it was responsible for maintaining the family relationship network. For a special official family, it cannot be treated as a trivial matter of life and death. No matter how much it is taken, it is because
Pass.
Before the seven people sat down, Zheng Shuqing took out a large booklet from his sleeve, handed it to Dong Guangyan and said:
Zheng Shuqing suddenly felt a chill on his front and back. I looked around, but it felt like no one was peeking outside.
Seeing that scene, Zheng Shuqing was extremely shocked!
That was quite different from what Dong Guang thought.
"Ten Prince's House? Did these people trick him with their crooked ideas?"
It’s just that the truth is known. Although it is true, it is not helpful in solving the matter. The truth is not about how to deal with it now. "
The yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture was sloppy, and it was only a matter of a day or two. When I was in Chang'an, I often heard that the yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture had a bad reputation. The Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture had a vegetarian meal, and Wang Yunxiu was really the best.
How does he think the worst thing to do is to deal with this matter?"
For example, some officials from Qingshui Yamen are really poor outside their homes. If they invite bad friends or colleagues to their house for a family banquet, they only eat a bowl of rice, a stack of pickles, and a cup of turbid wine, and that’s it. My bad friends and colleagues
It's also because I don't take it seriously, because I care about these false gifts.
Jin Wuwei said in a bad way, "You haven't understood what Zheng Shuqing wants to express."
Open the small door of Jingzhao Mansion's yamen and let Wang Yunxiu handle the case at the small door to show that Jingzhao Mansion is going all out to handle the case. However, old cases are inherently bad, so Jingzhao Mansion will handle it if it can, and delay it if it can.
Anyway, just keep Wang Yunxiu busy.
Zheng Shuqing saluted Fang Chongyong with his hands crossed and said.
As for the next question, is this high-ranking official named Yang Yan? I will take the blame on the grounds of lack of ability, and it will be ruined if I don’t use it in the future."
I'm sure I'll find that the family's beauty is ruined inside, so I have to stay away from them and alienate them as soon as possible.
"As far as I know, Wang Yunxiu doesn't seem to have a good official reputation.
"The truth is that there are so few people around him, but he is the one who understands what he said.
Looking at the size of the table, it seemed that there was no room for two more people. Zheng Shuqing asked doubtfully: "Is there only one guest missing at that family banquet?"
Zheng Shuqing crossed his hands and saluted and said.
"That's bad!"
However, I saw Jin Wuwei wave his hands indifferently and sighed:
Yes, it is obvious that if Fang Chongyong is that kind of person and left prime minister, he must not have the character of a left prime minister! Therefore, the family dinner at the left prime minister’s family must also have very weak political significance! Who is invited and who is invited.
It doesn't matter how you arrange them.
While he is rating others, others are also rating him! Face is given by others, but face is lost by oneself!
After all, the only recent minor court affairs that could affect the saint are the imperial examinations that will be held before the saint's birthday.
Fang Chongyong continued to ask. The Xiao family are all living people, so naturally the words can be understood through the simplest meaning.
Jin Wuwei asked with a relieved look.
"Is it the imperial examination?"
Seeing that Fang Yanei was completely talking, Dong Guangyan thought that I had frightened the other party. He quickly pointed at the soft cushion behind his eyes and said in a irritable tone: "Sit down and speak carefully."
"While I was helping A Lang to find out information, I got involved in a fatal matter related to the Ten Kings' House."
I must have found that the family has little potential and no future prospects, so we must strengthen contact and keep in touch with them frequently.
Therefore, for Dong Guangyan, deliberately creating some minor and serious cases was just shooting himself in the foot. On the contrary, something would definitely happen regarding the imperial examination, and Li Longji would think that he had nothing to do with Dong Guangyan, who later praised the imperial examination.
Fang Chongyong actually burned up just by looking at it?
Those truths have been investigated for a long time. A little less information about him is considered too little, but more information is not harmful.
"Prime Minister Zuo loves me so much."
Zheng Shuqing became angry when he heard those words! How dare you steal your wife from him? How can you bear it?
That is the power of the left prime minister of the Little Tang Dynasty! It can only be seen and touched, but it is everywhere!
As for the family banquet in the Tang Dynasty, it was simply a meal called a family banquet.
