"Be sure to support everyone when you are in trouble" is a necessary means in the officialdom, but "don't step on others when you are in trouble" is not something everyone can do...
Fang Jun naturally understood the meaning of Su Xu's words. He looked at the decoration in the duty room and said casually: "There must be many gods and ghosts in this big temple of the Ministry of War Yamen, so why should we care so much?"
When he thought about it, His Majesty Li Er's derogatory edict might be sent to the Ministry of War in the next moment. He didn't even know if his chair would be hot, so he would have to pack up and get out. Whoever wanted to hug his thigh would regard him as What does it matter if there is a thorn in the eye or a thorn in the flesh?
Su Xu secretly nodded. This person seemed reckless, but in fact he was very dignified. He suddenly lost power and was demoted from Jing Zhaoyin to the Minister of War. He must have resentment in his heart. He cared most about whether he was ridiculed in front of others, and was often lost in anger. Reasonable and violent behavior.
But at this moment, Fang Junguan's face was calm and calm, and he didn't seem to be upset at all about being demoted from Jing Zhaoyin to Minister of War, or even being demoted from the capital by an imperial edict tomorrow morning. Either this person has his own opinions and has changed his mind. Either he is open-minded and regards fame and wealth as floating clouds, no matter what, he is not an ordinary person.
Su Xu chuckled and praised: "Erlang is young, but he has already understood the ups and downs of life. It is rare to be able to maintain a normal heart when you are frustrated."
Fang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "No, no, how could Mr. Su know that he was not feeling discouraged and sighing, but that he had to accept his fate?"
Su Xuran said: "Since fate is life, accepting one's fate, isn't it another way to understand life?"
Fang Jun was silent.
Although this is a philosophical question, he has to admit that what Su Xu said does make sense...
There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and the two of them shut up.
A dozen people filed in from the door. The leader, Guo Fushanxing, stood in front of the desk and saluted: "The thirteen people above the head of the Ministry of War are all in office. I respectfully welcome the Minister of Housing to join the post."
At this time, most of the military power in the world was still in the military tents and the twelve generals. The structure of the military department was not large. It was divided into four departments: the military department, the staff department, the driving department, and the treasury department. Each had a doctor and a member. The two principals are in charge of matters such as military selection, maps, chariots and horses, armor and weapons, allocation of troops, distribution of grain and grass, etc. to all states in the world.
Speaking of which, apart from being able to directly enter the political hall to discuss affairs, the Minister of War can actually command very few troops. He is basically equivalent to a mere commander...
But even so, after all, he has the great responsibility of overseeing the world's military affairs, and his influence cannot be underestimated. In particular, the title of Minister of the Ministry of War is extremely noble, but it is only slightly inferior to the other three high-ranking officials. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, those who have served as ministers of the Ministry of War are none other than Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Hou Junji, Li Ji and other emperors who have made great contributions to the empire.
Su Xu read out the document in public, which meant that Fang Jun was immediately appointed as Minister of War.
Then, Su Xuxiao said to Fang Jun: "At the beginning of Fang Shilang's tenure, he should get acquainted with his subordinates and colleagues. I will not delay Erlang. When I have time another day, I will hand over an invitation to Fang Shilang. , if you invite us to get together, it would be best if you, the chamberlain, don’t refuse.”
Fang Jun said quickly: "What did Mr. Su say? As long as you invite me, I will definitely go to the appointment and will never refuse."
"Even so, I will take the first step. Everyone, take my leave."
"Shilang Su, walk slowly."
Led by Fang Jun, a group of officers from the Ministry of War sent Su Xu to the entrance of the main hall. They stood under the balcony and watched him go out of the gate of the Ministry of War, and then returned to the house.
Fang Jun had the most prestigious official position and was behind the desk. Guo Fushan, with a smile on his face, introduced officials from the Ministry of War to him one by one.
"This is Cui Dunli, a professional doctor."
"This is Liu Shi, the chief cook."
"This is Du Zhijing, the driver's doctor."
"Liu Xian, the treasurer's foreign minister..."
"The staff member, Wailang, is in charge..."
…
Every time Guo Fushan introduced someone, Fang Jun smiled and nodded.
After all the introductions were completed, Fang Jun waved his hand and said proudly: "I am overjoyed to be able to be an official with all my colleagues. I will be the host at noon today. Let's go to Songhe Tower for a nice drink. Wine. I will never cause you any trouble in the future, so I would like to express my gratitude in advance, and you must appreciate it."
In a new unit and with new colleagues, building a good relationship is the most basic thing. Although the conflicts behind the scenes will not be eliminated with a little favor, at least they are all okay on the surface, and they will not look at each other in silence all day long.
The most important thing in official circles is to be harmonious and harmonious, even if you smile so hard on the outside but want to stab you behind the scenes, this is the rule.
Everyone has already known that Fang Jun was transferred to the left minister of the Ministry of War. All the officials present had gone to the banquet to congratulate Fang Jun a few days ago. They all met Fang Jun face to face and became familiar with each other in advance. Naturally, everyone responded, and they all knew that Fang Jun was rich, and he was even more willing to spend money. Taking advantage would inevitably make people excited, everyone was in high spirits, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
But there are some people who don't care about this rule...
Liu Xi, the doctor in the Treasury Department, had an unruly look on his face and said with a strange tone: "Your Majesty has repeatedly issued strict orders to all the central ministries to cut down on funds and govern with diligence and frugality. Although the Minister of Housing is rich and spends too much to rival the country, I am afraid he will inevitably be unable to escape the suspicion of wasting public funds. Moreover, he will leave for the King of Jin at noon. I'm afraid I won't be able to appreciate the good intentions of the Chamberlain, as I'm attending a banquet in His Highness's palace. I'm sorry."
He said he was sorry, but his raised chin and unruly expression showed no sign of apology.
There was a sudden silence in the duty room.
Everyone carries the sedan chair. As long as they are not mortal enemies, most people in the officialdom have to pay attention to a certain amount of kindness, and things usually don't go as planned. It doesn't matter if you don't give others face today, but who knows if they won't give you face tomorrow?
Hello, hello, hello, everyone, this is the way of officialdom.
Liu Shi's unruly words really made all the officials present speechless...
Even though everyone knows that Fang Jun is likely to be demoted and demoted within a few days if he is caught in the rumor storm, he is still a colleague after all, and Fang Jun has no enmity with you, so why should he be so aggressive and not save any face?
However, everyone had already seen how shallow this person was, so they were not surprised. They just looked at Fang Jun one after another, wondering if this "stick" who dared to punch the prince and kick the minister would become furious and act out. A good show of beating up subordinates on the first day after taking office...
Fang Jun looked intently at Liu Shi, who was fair-faced and beardless, and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and laughed.
Guo Fushan swallowed secretly. He knew Fang Jun's temperament quite well. Seeing that something was not going well, he quickly tried to dissuade him: "Fang Shilang..."
Fang Jun gently raised his hand to interrupt Guo Fushan's words.
He moved his eyes away from Liu Shi's face, glanced around the faces of the officials, smiled broadly, and said lightly: "I know that you are all waiting to see a joke, look at this
How many days can I serve as the left minister of the Ministry of War..."
Looking at the awkward-looking official in front of him, Fang Jun didn't take it seriously and said slowly: "Whoever wants to win over me thinks that he can advance to the next level, or he secretly hates me for coming by air to block his future.
, listen to my advice and calm down. It was like before I came, and it will be like this in the future. You all should perform your duties and do your own things, and you will naturally live in peace and harmony. There is only one thing, you can be my officer.
It doesn't exist, but don't try to make me angry. Everyone's actions are controlled by emotions. When I am angry, even I am afraid..."
All the officials present were surprised. Who knew Fang Jun's reputation as "Bangchui"? Once he really pissed off this guy, he would do anything.
Liu Shi's face turned pale and pale, and he was extremely embarrassed. Everyone could tell that Fang Jun's words were clearly directed at him...
However, it was not over yet. Fang Jun walked slowly to Liu Xi, put his hands behind his back, looked directly into Liu Xi's eyes, and looked into each other's eyes. Fang Jun said calmly: "I have a bad temper, and everyone in Guanzhong knows it."
, but I have never provoked anyone. But I have never been afraid of provocation. Don't say that you are just the uncle of King Jin. Even if His Highness King Jin is standing here in person and offending me, do you think I
Do you dare to give me a beating? Do you believe that even if I beat His Highness the Prince of Jin, His Highness the Prince of Jin will still have to cry and apologize to me?"
Liu Shi's face turned red from suppressing his anger, and he said angrily: "How outrageous! His Highness is a rich man, how can you just slander him casually?"
Fang Jun raised his thick eyebrows and sneered: "It's up to you, how will you treat me? You might as well go to His Highness and file a complaint against me, or even impeach me. It doesn't matter. I haven't been an official for a long time, but I have been impeached."
The number of times, you will never be able to catch up in this life..."
Everyone stood speechless.
Is it a good thing to be impeached repeatedly by the imperial censor?
Some people are so shameless as to show off the number of impeachments they have suffered...
