Power needs to be checked and balanced, so under normal circumstances there will be all kinds of conflicts between the chief official and his deputy in any yamen, which are both subordinate and antagonistic relationships. This is determined by status. After all,
The power is so great and the interests are so many. No subordinate is willing to have all the interests taken by the chief officer, and the chief officer will not allow his subordinates to interfere with his own power and interests. Once the chief official or deputy of a certain yamen
If they reach a tacit understanding, then the yamen must redistribute power, and one of the chief officials and his deputies must be transferred. After the new person comes in, the opposition will be re-established.
pattern.
The so-called "one heart and one mind" is absolutely impossible to appear in a yamen. Even if it exists, it is just a superficial effort, and no one will give in secretly...
But now the situation in the Shangshu Province has broken the tradition and practice of overt and covert fighting in the yamen. The chief official and his deputies are in perfect harmony. Although Fang Jun's current official position is that of the right servant of the Shangshu, it is more of a false title than an actual position, because the emperor has never
Give him actual management scope and scope of authority, so according to common sense, there is no need to go to the Shangshu Province to sit in the Yamen
.
But the emperor strictly ordered Fang Jun to do his duty every day and not leave his post without any reason. Without formal work arrangements, he still had to go to the Yamen to do his duty every day. This was a kind of humiliation for any official. Officialdom
It is normal for officials to hold favors while suppressing others. It is conceivable that such an official would be in the government office.
What kind of situation will you encounter? Suppression and exclusion from superiors, ridicule and ridicule from colleagues, ordinary people really can't stand it.
But Fang Jun is not an ordinary person after all. He goes to the yamen every day to order mao, and then sneaks out of the yamen and the imperial city, and goes to the breakfast shop at the entrance of the east and west cities to have a breakfast, walk in the market for a while with his hands behind his back, and then
Return to Shangshu Province's check-in room, or
Whether you read a book for a while, take a nap, or brew a pot of tea and sip it slowly, it's probably noon. The Shangshu Province has its own dining hall, and because it is located in the Taiji Palace, the chefs are all imperial chefs with extremely high standards.
But Fang Jun does not go to the dining hall. At this time every day, a servant will deliver the food box outside Chengtian Gate, and the chamberlain will deliver the food box.
After entering Shangshu Province, Fang Jun enjoyed lunch in his duty room. It was okay in the past few days. Everyone was too afraid of this stick and avoided it for fear that no one would dare to get close to him. But after a few days, Li Ji gave up.
After going to the dining hall to eat, we went directly to Fang Jun’s check-in room, where the two big bosses from Shangshu Province
Living in the same room, dining in harmony.
For a time, the entire yamen was silent. After all, it was no secret that these two men were fighting tit-for-tat in front of the "committee" of the Ministry of War, lest they would fight within the yamen of Shangshu Province.
Xungui, a veteran on the battlefield, has never been known for his military force. In terms of force, he is also ranked low among the Zhenguan nobles. However, Fang Jun has always been known as the "brave champion of the three armies". His physical strength is astonishing, and he ranks first among the three armies.
, and he is young and powerful, at the peak of his powers, and he has a no-nonsense character. Once there is a conflict, the chief assistant Yinggong, who usually has a three-strand long beard and an immortal style, will be beaten to a pulp.
, making Shangshu Province the laughing stock among the three provinces, six ministries and nine temples... However, contrary to everyone's expectations, the two of them enjoyed the delicious food of Fang's chef during their stay, and laughed and cheered from time to time. They were surprisingly harmonious, and every time they used it After the meal, Fang Jun would make tea by himself, and then drink it slowly.
Laughter Yan Yan.
Is "hypocrisy" the way top bosses get along with each other?
No matter how fiercely they fight for profit or power, they can hide everything and laugh uninhibitedly when they meet?
...... Fang Jun just ate Hu cakes and drank fermented glutinous rice in Dongshi today. The two food styles of Han and Hu are fused together to create a unique flavor. He was a little full after eating. He walked around Dongshi for a while to eat, and then returned to Shangshu Province to cook. Going to soak in water
After a pot of tea and reading a book, I received the news that His Majesty had summoned me. I could only put the kettle aside and told the clerk to look at the small red clay stove. Before I left, I turned to Li Ji's check-in room and faced the front door. Li Ji, who was burying his head in writing, said: "Don't go to the dining hall at noon. The cook at home has made crystal elbows, which are fried with green onions."
Shen, I asked them to bring a pot of Jiangnan rice wine and have a couple of drinks then."
Li Ji didn't even raise his head. He waved his hand to indicate that he already knew and told him to get out of here.
Fang Jun didn't think he was dissatisfied, he turned around and left Shangshu Province with a smile, and went straight to Wude Hall.
"I heard that I was on duty in Shangshu Province recently and got along well with Mr. Ying?"
As soon as he entered the door, Li Chengqian asked with a smile. Fang Jun first greeted Xiao Yu, and then sat down before answering Li Chengqian: "Wei Chen was young and wild and unruly, and left the impression of being ignorant to this day. He is often ridiculed by others. As we get older, we naturally need to be more stable.
Get up and focus on creating harmony with the people around you. Friendship and unity are what you should do."
Li Chengqian smiled and said to Xiao Yu: "I think that the 'bangchui' that gave even my father a headache back then has now begun to cultivate his moral character. It is gratifying to congratulate him." Turning a blind eye to the slightly weird atmosphere in the room, he turned a deaf ear and looked at Fang Jun and said: "I returned to my hometown after becoming an official, but I found that my leisure time was not as comfortable and leisurely as I imagined. It is probably because I have developed a life of hard work in the official career all my life. I felt that I would be more comfortable if I had something to do, so I hurriedly returned to Beijing, intending to go to an academy to teach and educate people. I did not seek any official position, but just wanted to fulfill my dream when I was young.
I have a dream to teach students to read history and write poems. I wonder if there is a place for me in the academy?" Fang Junqi said: "The academy is the academy of the empire. The emperor has always been responsible for the grand ceremony of the academy. Before it was Emperor Taizong, and now Your Majesty, if Mr. Xiao wants to enter the academy to teach and educate people, he should sincerely ask your Majesty to make a decision, whether to allow or refuse.
You should never ask me, has Mr. Xiao become an old fool after returning to Jiangnan? It seems that the place in Jiangnan may not be as beautiful and full of outstanding people as rumored."
The meaning is obvious: it is the emperor's right to keep you or not. You have to ask me what do you mean? You have alienated the relationship between our monarch and our ministers as soon as you come back. You are too bad, old man...
Xiao Yu smiled and said nothing, like a kind old man with a kind and pure heart. Fang Jun looked at Li Chengqian. His Majesty the Emperor touched his nose slightly embarrassed, and looked around and said to him: "Mr. Xiao is a great scholar in the world, and he is famous in the south of the Yangtze River.
It is a blessing for all students to be able to teach in the academy. Let's do it like this. After Erlang goes to the academy, he will get a room for Mr. Xiao. The furnishings and treatment must be the best. If there is nothing good in the academy, please report it. I will ask the king.
De went to the warehouse to find some good things. Be sure to place Mr. Xiao properly. Don't dare to
There is just the slightest bit of negligence." Fang Jun nodded in agreement, since you can make the decision, why did you ask Xiao Yu to ask me for my opinion? Fortunately, you didn't ask me if I had any opinions in person, otherwise I would have already prepared the draft.
I'll fight you back, I don't care if you are
It's the emperor...
…
The two came out of the Wude Hall. Fang Jun ordered the chamberlain beside them: "Go to the academy to serve the Duke of Song. If you go find Li Jingxuan, tell him that it is my order and ask him to properly place the Duke of Song without any mistakes."
"Here." The chamberlain quickly responded. Fang Jun said to Xiao Yu again: "I'm still on duty here and don't dare to leave my post without permission. You can go to the academy first. Li Jingxuan will arrange everything. If there is anything inappropriate,
You can also send someone to inform me. As for the subject you teach
You can discuss this with Li Jingxuan without informing me." Such a prestigious former prime minister was naturally a dream for a Jiangnan scholar to teach in an academy. As for Xiao Yu's real purpose, he didn't care, whether he wanted to escape Chang'an or live in Chang'an.
Jiangnan gentry drew a clear line, or inserted
There were other plans in Shu Academy, but he didn't care.
To this day, the academy has long been firmly in his hands, and it is not something that just Xiao Yu can easily shake...
Xiao Yu didn't seem to feel Fang Jun's disrespect, and nodded with a smile: "Then I will go ahead and familiarize myself with the academy's regulations for the time being, and we will discuss the specific details of the professorship later."
"Then I'll take my leave now. I've been out for a long time. I'm afraid the censor who was checking on the officials on duty may want to cause trouble for me. It's almost noon. Your Majesty is still waiting for me to enjoy lunch with you. I'm rude."
"Erlang has just left. Although I have retired as an official, I have lived in Chang'an City for decades. This is also my home."
"That's good, farewell."
"Erlang, please."
Seeing Fang Jun's back disappearing around the corner of the palace wall, Xiao Yu looked up at the familiar scenery and buildings around him, and snorted: "We are still in-laws after all, why don't you call me to join you when eating? This rude brat
.”
After muttering something, he was led out of the Taiji Palace by the chamberlain with his hands behind his back, and went straight to the Chengdong Academy.
…
"Xiao Yu returned to Beijing to teach in the academy?"
After lunch and drinking tea in the check-in room, Fang Jun casually mentioned Xiao Yu's return to Beijing, which aroused Li Ji's doubts.
"Although the old man has become an official, he is still as sinister and sinister as ever. He started to sow discord in front of His Majesty before we met."
Fang Jun poured tea into the cup with a smile. Li Ji took a sip of tea, glanced at Fang Jun, and said calmly: "At our level, sowing dissension is done openly, because everyone can see it. You know, it's not that easy to be fooled, so I can only treat it as a conspiracy.
But it is precisely because of this that once a thorn is planted in your heart, even if you know it is a strategy to sow discord, you will often fall into the trap."
You clearly know that he is sowing discord, but every word of his words can penetrate into your heart. This is the horror of conspiracy.
Fang Jun paused for a moment while holding the tea cup, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty won't fall into the trap, will you?" Li Ji put down the tea cup and said slowly: "Whether your Majesty fell into the trap does not depend on what Xiao Yu said, but whether he fell into the trap. I think your influence in the academy is so great that the students only recognize you as the actual controller of the academy, but not him as the nominal supreme leader... Boy, you just squeezed Chu Suiliang away, but you shouldn't. Send Xu Jingzong to the Ministry of Rites. If a smooth man like Xu Jingzong continues to control the academy, you will not be able to show off your talents.
, even if there is an accident, there will be someone who can stand in front of you." After a pause, he continued: "...The human heart is the most uncontrollable thing. Sometimes once a glimmer of suspicion arises, it will grow crazily. You know it is wrong, but the more you I want to suppress this suspicion, but it often becomes harder to suppress it.
Live. No one's heart is truly bright, and no trust can be pure and flawless. You have to be careful." Fang Jun was horrified.
