"Ascending high and reaching far, my talents are high and my ambitions are long-term. The general manager is a late bloomer. With his current achievements, he is not inferior to King Wei Zhao. There is no need to belittle oneself. It is better to cultivate his body here with peace of mind and wait for His Majesty's summons."
Chu Suiliang finally said something humane. In fact, he was similar to Li Gang and others, and felt that letting Fan Wen move into the old residence of Wei Wang Yang Shuang was a bit too much.
This is not only a matter of treating ministers too well. Fan Wenjin was King Zhao of Wei back then and was an old member of Yang Shuang's mansion in Shangzhu Kingdom. Now he is living in the mansion of his old owner. It is a bit inappropriate no matter how you think about it. Although it has been many years,
The events of the previous dynasty are gradually moving away, but after all, it doesn't make sense.
However, neither Li Gang nor Fang Xuanling was close to the emperor, so they had nothing to say on this matter.
He, Chu Suiliang, was also a regular attendant of Sanqi who had just entered the Jin Dynasty, and he did not dare to comment on this matter.
This matter was decided last year, and all the procedures have been approved by officials from the three provinces, otherwise the matter would not have been handled this way. As for the details of the discussion, no one knows.
In other words, the people who welcomed Fan Wenjin back to the court did not know the true purpose of the court, so they had to think carefully when talking to Fan Wenjin.
It's just that Chu Suiliang was slightly different from the others. He had seen enough of the excitement at this time. Seeing that Fan Wenjin was full of emotions and lost his mind, he comforted him, then approached him and whispered: "Yuan Ling Yin asked me, let me."
I have been accompanying the manager these days.
He asked you not to think wildly, first get familiar with the scenery and customs of the capital, and wait for your Majesty's summons with peace of mind.
Your Majesty... likes people who are smart and thorough. What matters is merit and talent. Family background is secondary. As long as you answer the right questions in front of the palace, you will be reused for your merits as a general manager. You don't need to care about other details."
Fan Wenjin's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he turned to look at Chu Suiliang. In a flash of thought, he asked, "Who is Chu Changshi and Yuan Lingyin..."
Chu Suiliang cupped his hands and smiled and said: "The people under my sect have been greatly favored, which makes the manager laugh."
The sect mentioned here is not a sect. Fan Wenjin understands that. Thinking about Yuen Long's identity, it suddenly dawns on him that relatives are very knowledgeable and cannot be avoided in any dynasty. This is nothing new.
It's just that he never thought that Yuan Shiming could be so helpful to him in just a few days since he and Yuan Shiming had been together, and he couldn't help but think that having a close friend in life was enough.
But then the officialdom mentality took over. What did Yuan Shiming want to get from him by befriending him like this? It seemed that he was very optimistic about his future.
He knew almost nothing about the factions in the capital, and the emperor's brother-in-law tried his best to win over him, but he really didn't dare to join him rashly.
Once he got involved in any major event, Fan Wenjinxu would be like King Wei and die of a sudden illness here. Wouldn't that be unfair?
It's just that now he couldn't refuse someone's kindness, so he smiled, nodded slightly, and lowered his voice, "Then I will serve you, Lao Chu."
Chu Suiliang smiled and said no more.
In fact, this matter seemed a bit mysterious to him. The day before yesterday, Yuen Long sent someone to his house to inform him. He wrote it so casually that it was difficult to understand what it was like.
Today I went out to welcome Mr. Fan and took a look at his style, but I didn't get much out of it.
Fan Wenren came from a humble background, and he was definitely different from those children of aristocratic families. This time when he returned to Beijing to report on his work, he kept his figure very low, and he only said what he asked, without showing any dignity as the general manager of Liangzhou.
It seems that he is wary and does not dare to show off, which is quite consistent with his identity.
As long as no one finds fault, in the future, based on his own merits and talents, whether he stays in the capital or continues to work abroad, it will not be a problem.
A weak family background is probably an advantage. People who come from aristocratic families are intertwined. They may have to weigh whether they serve in the imperial court. Mr. Fan does not have such trouble.
The only regret is that as a founding hero, Fan Wenjin never stayed with the emperor, so he kept a certain distance from others, and at least he had one or two fewer amulets than others.
This comes from the emperor's lack of understanding of you, and now is a good opportunity to bridge this gap.
This is the case for Fan Wenjin. If he can stay in Beijing and serve in the capital, and can often appear in front of the emperor, then over time, he will naturally become like other founding heroes...
After all, the emperor treated his heroes very well.
Chu Suiliang could only think of these, and he would not delve into the rest. Being a regular servant in the province was a very critical position, and it was not easy to do well, so he did not want to be distracted.
What's more, he offended Changsun Shunde, so he should be even more cautious. He didn't want to get involved in what happened to Mr. Fan in the future, and at the same time, it was basically not something he could participate in.
Yuen Long did not make things difficult for him and asked him to find out some information. He just asked him to accompany Manager Fan around and explain the current situation in the court to him, without any excessive assignments.
As a disciple, if Chu Suiliang could not do this well, he would not have to appear in front of Yuen Long in the future.
…………
So Chu Suiliang settled down in the current Fan Mansion. This was not something he could do without permission. He represented the Menxia Province and also represented the emperor's face. This time, he received the Liangzhou General Manager back to the court, Menxia Province and the Taichang Temple Sect.
The person who comes out is regarded as the ushering officer.
Li Gang, Fang Xuanling and other talents represented the imperial court. Chu Suiliang's task would not be completed until Fan Wenjin's position was decided.
This was a task that Chu Suiliang had obtained in accordance with Yuen Long's instructions. It is estimated that some people in the province did not like him and dismissed him accordingly.
The newly promoted Sanqi Changshi was responsible for this kind of reception work. The meaning was very obvious that he was not welcome.
…………
In the evening, Fan Wenjin took a bath and changed clothes, and sat drinking with Chu Suiliang in the flower hall of the back house of the mansion.
He had taken a nap before and felt quite energetic. However, he was always suffering from back pain. It almost killed him when he rushed all the way from Shangdang to Liangzhou.
His body has been a little weak over the years, and there is nothing he can do about it. In order to survive, he has unleashed almost all of his potential. His vitality has been damaged, and no doctor can restore him.
Take his body as an example. After arriving in Chang'an, even if he had the chance, he would not seek any more foreign posts. He might be able to live a few more years as a Beijing official.
If he had to travel many long distances again, he would have to die on the road.
Moreover, as he got older, his homesickness became stronger, so he had some thoughts of resigning and returning home to retire. With his current achievements, once he resigned, it would actually be the right thing to do.
It’s just these thoughts. It’s true that being an official is not easy, but without the official hat, how can he get used to it?
