Chapter 1343: The peach and plum are speechless, making their own mistakes
Fang Xuanling laughed and comforted: "Why do you have to look so dejected? You have done well enough. Looking at the younger generation of nobles, you are already far ahead of others. As the saying goes, good fortune comes with misfortune. Misfortunes are where blessings depend, and small setbacks can have unexpected benefits in tempering your temperament.”
At this age, he is already a second-grade high-ranking official. The promotion speed is too fast. He should settle down before he can find the right path.
Fang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "Ten thousand years is too long. My son is seizing the day..."
Of course, he knew that his rocket-like promotion speed was actually not a good thing. His foundation was shallow and insufficient, and he mostly relied on his father Fang Xuanling's heritage and His Majesty Li Er's holy family. But if he is allowed to calm down and get promoted step by step, when will he be able to hold the power in his hands and fully express his revenge?
The level of medical and health care is extremely low these days. Even if you catch some disease, you may be dead. Even if you are disease-free and disaster-free, it is considered normal to live to be fifty or sixty years old. You can't even hope to be seventy years old.
Seventy years of life are rare, do you really think you are joking?
Now that the government is stable, unless there were a lot of meritorious deeds in the early days of the founding of the country, stable promotion is too slow. My father, Fang Xuanling, followed His Majesty Li Er from the King of Qin to the Emperor. As His Majesty Li Er’s most trusted and core staff, he became Zhongshu Ling at the age of 48, and was promoted to Shangshu Zuopushe at the age of 51...
That was during a war, and there was also the skill of following the dragon!
According to the steady promotion rate, I might be able to enter the center at the age of forty, and when my hair is gray, I can enter the cabinet and worship the prime minister...
If you are going to die by then, what else will you have the energy to do?
Instead of doing this, it is better to just wait for death and be a dandy, which is worthy of this life...
Fang Xuanling said displeasedly: "The imperial court has its own system for promotion. I don't know why you are so greedy for power, but you are so focused on opportunism and taking the wrong path. Even if you can succeed for a while, you will inevitably plant hidden dangers. You may not usually do so. It’s obvious, but once you make a mistake or make a mistake, it will be a disaster.”
You are already a second-rank Jingzhao Yin before you are twenty years old. You will serve for several terms steadily, and then you will find a prosperous place and be promoted to a feudal official for two terms. With his qualifications and experience in local governance, he was transferred back to the capital to join the central government when he was in his thirties. After another ten or eight years, he was able to hold the position of prime minister and assistant.
Such a speed of promotion is still appalling after the founding of the country, but you are still shouting "seize the day and night"...
How can you make me feel so sorry for you?
Fang Jun had been an official in his previous life, so he naturally knew that his father's words were the most reliable way. One step at a time, he could not only inherit his father's political legacy, but also expand and stabilize his own connections. At that time, he returned to the center, Fang has a solid foundation and strong strength.
"Isn't my son thinking about doing something? If you want to do something in this world, you must have power in your hands. If you continue to endure hardships steadily, when will you be able to fully express your revenge?"
"This idea of yours is wrong. Not only is it wrong, it is even very dangerous!" Fang Xuanling suppressed her smile, stared at the proud second son in front of her with a serious face, and taught her painstakingly: "The way of a gentleman, for example If you travel far, you must be near; for example, if you climb high, you must humble yourself. Whether you are a person or an official, you must have high ambitions and dare to think and do, but you must also start from a place of "humbleness" and "near", be down-to-earth, and progress step by step. . This is the way of a gentleman, and even more so, the way of heaven! Now you are eager for quick success and blindly take the wrong direction. You will build a tall building without laying a solid foundation. One day you will reap the consequences, and it will be too late to regret it! ”
These words were extremely serious. Fang Jun was startled and quickly reflected.
Seeing that his son realized the meaning of his words, Fang Xuanling softened his tone slightly and said warmly: "My father has always not commented on your behavior. In fact, he hopes that you can wake up and correct yourself. This is better than The effect of father's advice was better. In the past, the official position was not visible. In the eyes of the world, he is just a dandy. He is a bit irritable and acts wantonly, but he doesn't think it's a big deal. Who would really argue with a dandy? But now that your status is getting higher and your official position is getting stronger, if you still act like before, then... Very inappropriate.”
Fang Jun quickly said: "My son realizes his mistake."
He realized his mistake. A dandy can beat a prince or a minister, but now that he is Jing Zhaoyin, he still beats people to disability in the street. What is the nature of this?
What did the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty think of him?
How do people in the world view him?
The most important thing is... what does His Majesty Li Er think of him?
Do you still have awe in your heart? Is it so swollen that it’s about to fly?
He finally understood what his father meant when he said "you will suffer a loss this time". It was not that he handled it wrong, nor was it the great pressure on the family, nor was it His Majesty Li Er's trade-offs that made him a victim, but... His Majesty Li Er will feel that he is out of control now!
How can a person who has no fear in his heart become a loyal minister and good minister?
Now that His Majesty Li Er is in his prime, he naturally doesn't care what happens to Fang Jun, but if ten years later... when the crown prince is stable and the kings rise, will Fang Jun still be loyal to the emperor?
When I think about this, fear suddenly arises in my heart, and cold sweat pours down...
Seeing Fang Jun's look of sadness, Fang Xuanling smiled and asked, "What, are you scared?"
Fang Jun forced out a smile: "I'm not afraid enough, Your Majesty can't chop off your son's head..."
"Haha..."
Fang Xuanling chuckled, and actually picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Fang Jun. Fang Jun quickly took it with both hands: "How dare you let your father pour tea for your son?"
Fang Xuanling waved her hands and said not to care, looked at her son with a smile and teased: "My father has been shocked by your performance in the past few years. You are both talented and good at making money. Even your official position has skyrocketed and you are almost catching up with my father." ... My father is even thinking, could there be a monster in my family?”
Fang Jun grinned, what he said... you are almost telling the truth, dad!
"But there is one thing you don't do well, that is, you are too sharp and aggressive!" Fang Xuanling held the tea cup in his hand and said slowly: "You always take advantage of everything and refuse to suffer the slightest loss. As a father, you often Worry, if you get used to taking advantage, you may feel that a little loss is a big loss in the future. This is not good in life. Who can take advantage of everything?”
Fang Jun remained silent and listened to these words.
Since his rebirth, everything has gone too smoothly for him, and he has unknowingly developed a bad habit of being extremely self-centered. It is not a good thing to be unable to bear anger or suffer losses, and to have an impetuous temperament and too much obsession.
People who always think that they often suffer losses, no one knows the obsession in their hearts, and it is also painful. No one understands and sympathizes with this kind of people.
People who are willing to suffer some losses on unimportant issues have a kind of open-mindedness and tolerance in their temperament, as well as some sense and self-restraint. People like such people wherever they go. Who would like someone who only takes advantage and does not suffer losses?
Fang Xuanling continued: "Letting you suffer a loss does not mean that you will not speak up or fight back when you are bullied, but that you will not be aggressive everywhere and have a broad mind. You will always be unwilling to suffer a loss, no matter what your nature is, you will definitely be in the end. Too careless, too focused on gains and losses, often losing everything over trivial matters, sacrificing the basics for the sake of the bottom. As a person, you must be open-minded, know how to forgive, know how to give in, and be tolerant. Forgiveness does not mean weakness, and giving in does not mean fear. Showing weakness to the enemy and retreating to advance are the best military strategies and the best way to be a human being. Only when you understand this truth can you have a charming personality. Only then can you have a broad mind, and you don’t need to flaunt yourself, let alone brag about yourself. Everyone in the world has eyes, and they are speechless.”
Endure the calm for a while and take a step back to open up the world!
This is the wisdom of our ancestors and the wise saying between heaven and earth.
It is a pity that as a reborn person, my knowledge and knowledge surpass those of people in this world for thousands of years, but I have lost my mind and gone astray.
Fang Xuanling's words were like a bell, making Fang Jun's mind buzz, but they also made him suddenly realize it like an enlightenment!
So what if you suffer a loss?
Some losses cannot be suffered, but some losses are blessings...
No one wants to be with someone who never suffers, so a gentleman should be as gentle as jade, and a gentleman should not fight.
In this people-oriented society, as long as you know how to share benefits and understand that suffering is a blessing, people will naturally surround you to lift you up, help you, and support you.
Peaches and plums are speechless, and they create a trail...
Fang Jun stood up and left his seat, fluttered his robe, bowed uprightly and gave Fang Xuanling a bow, and said seriously: "Thank you father for your teaching, my child will benefit from it throughout his life."
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard under his chin with his hand and laughed heartily: "You can teach a kid!" (End of Chapter)
