Chapter 965 Fang Fu Yin
There are now only four prime ministers and assistants left in the political hall, and three are present. Wei Zheng is seriously ill and lingering on the sickbed at home. It is estimated that he will not be able to survive for a few days. According to the rules of the political hall, one person objected and two people agreed, so the matter was indeed passed.
But he is Changsun Wuji!
Changsun Wuji, who once fought alongside His Majesty and made suggestions!
As the emperor's brother-in-law, the eldest grandson Wuji has great trust and honor!
Now we are just negotiating this matter through the most basic rules, but we don't even have the patience to ask for his opinion or comfort him?
Changsun Wuji was full of frustration and remained silent.
His Majesty Li Er did not look at him again and said: "Since this matter has been approved, let's discuss the selection of a person for Jingzhao Prefecture here, so that this matter can be launched and implemented as soon as possible."
Mention a candidate for Jingzhao Governor?
Fang Xuanling has always been behind in things like this that can easily offend people. Except for the outbursts when his bottom line is provoked, Fang Xuanling plays the role of a gentleman honestly most of the time and never fights for interests. .
Moreover, the grade of this Jingzhao governor is definitely not low.
The prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty were all divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. The governors of the upper prefectures were from the third grade. Since His Majesty intends to add Jingzhao Prefecture and reorganize the Five Prefectures, only if his rank exceeds that of Shangzhou Governor can he gain the attention of the people of the world. In this case, the lowest level is the third level.
At the same time, considering that Chang'an and Luoyang, Taiyuan, Fengxiang, Jiangling and other places have different levels of prosperity, political status, and military influence, Jingzhao Prefecture, Luoyang Prefecture, and Taiyuan Prefecture must be higher than the other three prefectures, so they must be From the second grade.
It’s too easy to offend people by recommending someone or not, so it’s better to pretend to be confused...
Changsun Wuji was still in a daze and did not speak for a while.
Cen Wenwen had just opened his mouth when an idea suddenly flashed in his mind and he quickly closed his mouth.
Since the emperor has been thinking about this matter for a long time, how could he not have someone he likes?
Yes, you can use whomever you like. As long as it’s not too outrageous, I won’t object. Anyway, I can’t get anything out of it...
His Majesty Li Er looked around and saw that several people were silent, so he said: "Since you don't have a suitable candidate at the moment, I will recommend one person, and you will discuss whether it is suitable."
Fang Xuanling asked: "I wonder who your Majesty prefers?"
His Majesty Li Er said calmly: "Fang Jun."
Fang Xuanling: "..."
My son?
I have been doing revolutionary work all my life, serving His Majesty in front of and behind the horse. If the title of the Duke of the country is not included, the rank of Shangshu Zuopushe is only the second grade! That bastard wants to be at the same level as me?
Could it be that when he goes to court in the future, he and that scoundrel will exchange salutes, and then call himself: "Fangfu Yin..."
Fang Xuanling's old face was tangled for a while, but he hesitated to speak.
What to say?
Your Majesty, you can't do this. In the future, I won't be able to say hello to that scoundrel...
Or is it that Your Majesty is a good candidate, and Fang Jun is the most suitable choice among thousands of choices?
Nothing was appropriate to say, so Fang Xuanling shut her mouth and said nothing.
Cen Wenwen stroked his beard and said leisurely: "Fang Erlang serves as the Zhaoyin of the capital, and I think it is a great good deed! Fang Erlang is the most prestigious poetry master in the country. His literary talent is admired by the world, and his reputation is prosperous among scholars. He is such a young and handsome man. , is the future pillar of the empire Shi should focus on training. What's more, Fang Jun has managed the Jiangnan Shipping Department from scratch and has perfected the system. He has personally handled every detail. He has great experience in the task of building a new yamen and will definitely be able to live up to His Majesty's trust. .”
Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there has been a rule that "no one can enter Taiwan Pavilion without passing through the prefecture and county".
If Fang Jun wants to become prime minister and enter the political hall to discuss affairs in the future, he must be in charge of the government. However, with Fang Jun's current rank, it is impossible to serve as a county magistrate. Even the two counties of Chang'an and Wannian in the capital are far from worthy of Fang Jun's rank. If he is allowed to serve as the county magistrate of these two counties, it will be as good as Yu was demoted.
If he were the governor of a state, I'm afraid your majesty would be a little worried about Fang Jun's wanton temper. And this Jing Zhaoyin was almost tailor-made for Fang Jun. He was of high enough rank and had accumulated seniority after one term of office, and he accidentally caused some uncontrollable situation under His Majesty's nose.
Cen Wenwen sighed. His Majesty's love and trust in Fang Junzhi can be described by more than just "Jane is in the emperor's heart"? It can be said that it is well-intentioned!
However, Fang Jun is indeed honest in his work. In the past few years, one after another, in the end, it was His Majesty who benefited the most.
Who wouldn't like such a minister?
Changsun Wuji only felt a cold air rising up his spine, and his whole body was filled with chills in an instant.
He realized a strong sense of crisis!
Who doesn't know that Fang Jun is the enemy of all the aristocratic families in the world? Who doesn't know that Fang Jun got into trouble with the Guanlong Group on the first day he returned to Chang'an? Who doesn't know that this kid is the sword in His Majesty's hand? Is it your duty to suppress the family members?
Pushing Fang Jun to the position of Jing Zhaoyin is obviously to make him go against the Guanlong Group! Guanzhong is the territory of the Guanlong Group. With Fang Jun, a fierce tiger, here, how can we not stage a fight between dragons and tigers?
Changsun Wuji did not continue to refute, but remained silent with a gloomy look on his face.
His Majesty has lost trust in him, so what can he do if he refutes it?
At this moment, Changsun Wuji was filled with frustration and frustration.
He has always been the minister most trusted by His Majesty in the court. Now that the Holy Family is not here, this sense of loss makes Changsun Wuji panic, lost, and confused. All kinds of feelings come to his heart, and he is quite discouraged.
Seeing that there was no objection, His Majesty Li Er made the final decision: "This matter has been settled. Later, all the prime ministers and ministers will discuss the details of the establishment of Jingzhao Mansion with Fang Jun. I hope that you will work together to make Guanzhong unstoppable." It has the reputation of being the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, where the people live in peace and prosperity, and all walks of life are prosperous and prosperous.”
"No!"
Several prime ministers and assistants stood up together and bowed to take orders.
*****
Prince Wu's Mansion.
In the flower hall, there is a heated kang, which is covered with thick wool felt and the patterns are gorgeous and luxurious. On a tea table with red lacquer and carved patterns, a pot of black tea, and several plates of snacks, Wu Wang Li Ke and Fang Jun sat and chatted.
"Fortunately, my father ordered all the princes to return to the capital, otherwise the princess's condition would have been very bad." Li Ke sighed.
Who would have expected that Princess Wu, who was already terminally ill in the pleasant Jiangnan and even made arrangements for her funeral, would be getting better day by day after dragging her illness back to the cold Chang'an, and has recently been on the verge of recovery?
The imperial doctor in the palace couldn't explain why, so he could only cover up his incompetence by vaguely saying that he was "acclimated"...
Fang Jun pinched a piece of Poria cake and put it into his mouth to chew. Before he could swallow the food, he said curiously: "Your Highness has been revoked from the country. Shouldn't he be dejected and helpless?"
Li Ke was even stranger than him: "Why do you say that?"
Fang Jun said: "You are full of talents. You can show off your talents in the feudal country and lead the country to Anbang. When you return to Chang'an, you will be a canary in a cage. You must be careful in every word and deed. You are destined to be left idle." Disappear. If you are depressed and frustrated, shouldn’t you sigh and drink to drown your sorrows, looking like a down-and-out king? ”
To be honest, he really felt sorry for Li Ke.
His Majesty Li Er's sons are all outstanding men. Even Prince Li Chengqian handles political affairs in a decent manner and rarely makes mistakes, let alone Wei Wang Li Tai, Wu Wang Li Ke, and the future Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi. The violent-tempered King of Qi Li You was still very capable when he worked seriously.
Among them, Li Ke's talent is the most outstanding!
Although you will never be able to aspire to the top position in a feudal country, you can still be in charge of a country and be able to give full play to your talents and gain recognition from the world to prove your worth.
But now that I'm back in Chang'an, if I want to gain a long life, I can only follow the trend and become a "rich and idle king"...
Li Ke stared: "Who told you that when you return to Chang'an, you will be imprisoned and become a canary?"
Fang Jun was surprised: "Isn't it?"
Li Ke took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's not that serious. My father has arrangements for us princes. We all have to go to the Yamen to listen to politics and do things. By the way, my job is to be the left minister of the Ministry of Industry. I am the king." Zhang Liang, who came with his father, has been transferred. The current minister of the Ministry of Industry is Xiao Zhuo, the former governor of Beizhou. "
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Your Highness is very calculating. The Ministry of Works can be said to be my territory. I will introduce you to some of my former colleagues some other time. From now on, you will walk sideways in the Ministry of Works. If anyone tries to play tricks on you, you will Tell me, I will beat him!”
Li Ke touched his forehead with his hand and sighed silently. (End of chapter)
