Chapter 888: The title of Marquis is not my intention, I hope the sea will be peaceful
Mu Yuanzuo also brought a secret letter from His Majesty Li Er, which he had no right to read, so he respectfully escaped from his arms and handed it to Fang Jun with both hands. The look he looked at Fang Jun became more trusting and respectful.
This is a secret letter from the emperor!
Looking around the world, who has the qualifications to allow the emperor to write a secret letter with his own pen?
This is a status symbol, a demonstration of status.
Jane is in the emperor's heart!
Fang Jun didn't feel that there was any honor. He lacked the sense of awe that people in this era generally have for creatures like the emperor. He didn't even check the paint on the envelope, and just opened it in front of Mu Yuanzuo.
Mu Yuanzuo was so moved...
A few seemingly casual details represent Fang Jun's trust in him!
Not to mention whether he was pretending or not, who would dare to pretend that such a thing involves the emperor's secret letter, and who could afford the risk?
They regard Mu Yuanzuo as one of their own...
There was actually nothing written in the secret letter, not even an explanation for Zhang Liang's succession to the position of general manager. He only told Fang Jun that he was allowed to sell Zhentian Lei to the Arabs, but the formula of the gunpowder must be kept strictly confidential, and he could not sell it for any amount of money. ! In addition, the research and development of artillery must be conducted under the highest level of confidentiality measures, and manpower and material resources must continue to be invested to enhance the power and range of the artillery.
Also, the harvest in Guanzhong this year was not very good, and he did not want to increase the amount of water transportation and increase the burden on the court and the people, so Fang Jun was asked to purchase a batch of grain in Jiangnan and transport it to Guanzhong.
As for the money to buy food, I didn’t mention it...
Fang Jun was not surprised. This approach was very Li Er...
Knowing this, Fang Jun asked Liu Rengui to bring a fire seal, ignite the secret letter and burn it to ashes.
After chatting for a while, Fang Jun left Mu Yuanzuo to eat. Mu Yuanzuo pretended to give in and agreed helplessly. The reputation of Fangfu's fine wine has spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. Mu Yuanzuo visited his old friend in Chang'an and had the opportunity to taste it once. At that time, he felt that this wine should only be found in heaven, and how many times can it be tasted in the world? It's a pity that it only has such a small size. I didn't drink enough from a pot. Today, the Marquis is staying for dinner, so I guess I can taste that worldly wine again?
But Fang Jun felt a little contempt in his heart.
He sincerely stayed with Sun Chengen to eat, but he refused, and was anxious to go back and do things for his father and fellow villagers. It was not easy to get a promise from a marquis, so he had to fulfill his promise quickly, lest Fang Jun regret it later.
He just gave a few words of humility to let Mu Yuanzuo eat, and the guy agreed...
Therefore, the gap between people is huge. Integrity has absolutely nothing to do with more money and less officialdom.
But after all, he is on his own line, so he should have a meal to comfort himself.
Governor Mu was not qualified to enjoy the treatment of the Marquis personally cooking, but Fang Jun was not stingy with the hospitality of good wine and good food. He ordered the cook to prepare a table of seafood, and dug out a pile of 60-proof wine from the bilge. He decided to knock Mu Yuanzuo to the ground today. Don’t you want to drink good wine?
Then drink as much as you can, and you won’t be able to stop drinking.
Young Master Yu Ming is like a primary school student, always able to go home with some food...
This man who spends his days wandering around various ships, studying sails today, thunderbolts tomorrow, and artillery the next, is like a child who gets a fun toy. He is full of energy and never tires of it every day.
Fang Jun had to sigh, this child is so easy to raise...
The seafood is all caught by Fang Jun himself, absolutely fresh, and the chef's skills are also very good. He learned several special skills from Fang Jun in cooking, frying, stir-frying, and stewing.
The mellow and strong taste of 60-proof liquor is not something that people in this era without "alcohol training" can easily enjoy. After a few drinks, everyone present, including Fang Jun, became a little tipsy.
Why do Chinese people like wine culture?
It is because there is no big or small thing at the wine table, and even two people with very different statuses can still hook up and call each other brothers after three drinks. Some things that are usually too embarrassing to say out loud are said out with the help of wine to cover up one's face... …
Mu Yuanzuo threw away all his hats, opened his clothes, his face was red, the smell of alcohol was coming from his mouth, and he pointed at Fang Jun with blurred eyes and said: "To be honest, sometimes I don't understand. Mr. Marquis, you are both a marquis. Now, he is the emperor's son-in-law again, and his father is still As Prime Minister, why don't you live a good life in Guanzhong and be your dandy, marry a few beauties, and be free? You have to go to the south of the Yangtze River to swim in this muddy water, aren't you making yourself uncomfortable?"
Fang Jun glared and said: "You know nothing! People have to have ideals and pursuits, you know? If you don't have ideals and no pursuits, what's the difference between you and salted fish?"
Mu Yuanzuo sneered. This guy was probably really drunk. He looked at Fang Jun with drunken eyes: "So you dare to risk the disapproval of the world and kill all the Gu family members? So you dare to lead the troops to sea in person regardless of safety. Destroying pirates? I don’t understand, what is your pursuit?”
Liu Renyuan also joined in the fun: "Yes, Lord Marquis, what ideals and pursuits have you been talking about all day long? Tell me, what is your ideal? A first-class official position? Become a Duke? Or do you aspire to be a generation? Powerful minister? ”
This is a bit much, but who said this was at the wine table? Anyway, there are no royal guards these days, and His Majesty Li Er's magnanimity is not comparable to that of the useless descendants of the old Zhu family. Even if His Majesty Li Er is sitting at the table, he doesn't care about such drunken talk.
Not to mention being a powerful minister, His Majesty Li Er would laugh it off even if he said he wanted to rebel at the wine table.
Of course, if you really do this secretly in private, that's absolutely not okay...
Fang Jun burped, thought for a while, raised his glass, and chanted loudly: "Xiao Zhu gradually sleeps peacefully, and there is an alliance in the time of worry. He calls out bottles to greet guests, and sits down to chat with friends. Clouds protect toothpicks. , the star contains the sword. The title is not my intention, I hope the sea will be peaceful. ”
A quatrain that shocked the whole table.
Everyone looked at the arrogant Fang Jun in astonishment.
Fang Jun slapped his forehead. He was really drunk. How could he blurt out his favorite poem from his previous life?
Grandpa Qi, I’m sorry for you...
"It's not my intention to be granted the title of Marquis, but I hope the sea will be peaceful..."
Liu Rengui raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
“It’s not my intention to be granted the title of marquis, but I hope the sea will be peaceful!”
Liu Renyuan and Xue Rengui looked at each other, and both could see the blood boiling in the other's eyes. They remained silent and raised their glasses to drink.
“It’s not my intention to be granted the title of marquis, but I hope the sea will be peaceful!”
Mu Yuanzuo was stunned for a long time. He felt his head was hot and blurted out: "How magnificent! Our mighty Tang Dynasty! How magnificent! I am the Marquis of Huating! With such great ambition and ambition, how can we be embarrassed by the Marquis? Please let Mu Attached, follow the Marquis and create a great cause together! Congratulations to Your Majesty! ”
He raised his glass and drank the wine.
"Congratulations to the Tang Dynasty!"
Have another drink.
"Congratulations to the Marquis!"
After three cups, he fell to the ground with a "pop" and got under the table, falling asleep.
Yu Minglei also raised his wine glass and said to Fang Jun: "This is a good saying, and it has the flavor of a famous minister through the ages. Although your behavior has nothing to do with a famous minister through the ages, it is just for the sake of this poem. , I still have to give you a toast!”
Mother!
Can you speak?
I just memorized a poem. Who the hell said I wanted to be a famous minister for all eternity? Of all the famous ministers throughout the ages, which one did not suffer countless blows and criticisms while alive, and even had to die unjustly, so that he could leave his name in history and shine in the annals of history?
Fan Zhongyan's character is invincible. If not for the failure of reform and the sympathy of future generations, how could he have such great influence?
Yue Fei's achievements are unparalleled, but if he hadn't been framed by a foolish emperor and traitorous ministers, would he have such an unparalleled reputation?
Zhang Juzheng can be called the first reformer in history, but if he hadn't been confiscated after his death and "condemned" by having his house confiscated, would he have been so highly regarded?
Therefore, most people who can be called famous officials through the ages and have unparalleled influence have shortcomings. Defects produce beauty, and tragedy can make people remember and move it more!
Fang Jun doesn't want his life to become a tragedy...
I traveled through time to enjoy it, and the things I am doing now are only the historical responsibilities that a time traveler should bear. If one day I find that this road is blocked, I will definitely retreat decisively!
What reforms and great undertakings, go to hell!
I just want my wife to stay warm and be my dandy son happily!
If by the way, he can still train his son to be a playboy, then his life will not be in vain!
So, Fang Jun began to explain the facts to Yu Minglei, discussing the importance of a good life and a happy family... (End of Chapter)
