Chapter 1359 Fang Jun’s revenge comes quickly (Part 1)
Early the next morning, the emperor's document recommending Ma Zhou was delivered to the political hall. The ministers discussed it and unanimously approved it. Ma Zhou, who came from a poor family, created a myth above the officialdom. He jumped from being a member of Zhongshushe to acting as the agent of Jing Zhaoyin, from the fifth rank to the second rank, spanning seven official ranks...
< br>
Prior to this, all parties were busy promoting their own candidates, contacting each other for private transactions, hoping to grab this hot position, or at least get some benefits from it.
However, all these came to nothing with the sudden rise of Ma Zhou.
However, Ma Zhou's ability to become Jing Zhaoyin was unexpected but also reasonable.
As the most outstanding person from a poor family in the court, Ma Zhou has always been loved and trained by His Majesty Li Er. As we all know, Ma Zhou, a member of Zhongshushe, actually did all the work of the Secretary Cheng. His Majesty Li Er's memorial had to be reviewed by Ma Zhou in advance, and he would only submit it to Li Er after he simply made comments and deletions. His Majesty.
What kind of trust is this regarding military and national affairs?
Everyone knew that Ma Zhou’s rise was inevitable, but they didn’t expect it to be so fast...
Fang Jun also heard an interesting story.
The prince's father-in-law, Su Dan, probably had a grudge because he had been tricked by the Gao brothers. He actually chased Gao Jifu, the minister of the civil affairs office, to settle the score. In front of all the officials in the Ministry of Personnel, he scolded Gao Jifu for being cunning and ulterior. Gao Jifu was not to be outdone, and refuted Su Dan's lies and nonsense. Neither of them accepted the other, and they ended up fighting each other.
Although Su Dan is a scholar, as the saying goes, boxing is afraid of young people. He is almost ten years younger than Gao Jifu, who is in his fifties. When he got into trouble, he was knocked down by a punch, and Su Dan was riding underneath him and beat him with a lot of punches until his face was bruised and bruised...
When the officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs saw that the minister was beaten, how could they repay it? This Ministry of Civil Affairs can be regarded as the territory of the Gao brothers. The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is Gao Shilian. Gao Jifu was beaten in the territory of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, even the father-in-law of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Even if someone came to try to distract him, Su Dan suffered a lot of plots in a daze, but he didn't see clearly who did it. In short, it was impossible to verify, so he could only suffer a hidden loss.
This incident was spread as a joke in Beijing. It is said that Gao Shilian took Gao Jifu into the palace afterwards. The latter knelt in the emperor's palace and cried bitterly. He bluntly said that Su Dan relied on the prince's prestige to beat up the court officials. . As for Su Dan's prior agreement to operate Jingzhao Yin, he denied it and claimed that there was no such thing.
His Majesty Li Er's reaction was even more intriguing. He rewarded Gao Jifu with some miraculous medicines and good words of comfort. Then he summoned the prince into the palace, scolded him, and punished him with a month's confinement in the East Palace, so that he could discipline the people around him...
Fang Jun couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. No wonder Li Chengqian ended up in such a miserable and tragic end in history. He was originally a favored son loved by God, but in the end he died in a foreign land with hatred. Look at the people around Li Chengqian, Du He, Chai Lingwu, Zhao Jie, Hou Junji, Li Yuanchang, Su Dan... Where can anyone be reliable?
Oh, and the original love of the cuckold prince...
A proper pig teammate.
How far a person can go depends on who he has with him; how good a person is depends on who guides him; how successful a person is depends on who he has with him.
Fang Jun couldn't remember who said this, but he always believed it.
There are so many deceptive things around you. If you don’t fall into the trap, who will?
*****
Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.
When all the officials saw Fang Jun swaggering through the door wearing a purple robe, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, but when they turned around, they inevitably had different expressions.
It is the kingly way of officialdom to embrace the popular and suppress the unfavorable, and this has always been the case throughout the ages.
However, although Fang Jun was dismissed from the post of Jing Zhaoyin, he was transferred to the Ministry of War and became the left minister of the Ministry of War. It can be said that in the small world of the Ministry of War, one person is more powerful than ten thousand people. Besides, everyone knows that Fang Jun and Li Ji's youngest son are like brothers, and Li Ji and Fang Xuanling are also on good terms with each other. Fang Jun can come and go at will in the British government palace just like his own backyard. Who in the military department will dare not listen to Fang Jun in the future?
Some officials in Jing Zhaoyin even talked about this matter privately, calling Fang Jun the "Second Minister"...
Returning to the familiar check-in room, Fang Jun sat behind the desk with a flourish, and Cheng Wuting walked in.
"Already confirmed?"
Naturally, the question was about Fang Jun's transfer.
"It's been decided, there will probably be an imperial edict coming soon."
Fang Jun smiled and made a cup of tea for Cheng Wuting. Cheng Wuting muttered something angrily, picked up the teacup and drank. Although the two of them were superior and subordinate, in reality they were more like an eldest brother and a younger brother. Cheng Wuting did not pay much attention to the official rules in front of Fang Jun, but he was determined to do so.
After asking Cheng Wuting to sit down, Fang Jun said warmly: "I originally wanted to ask me to go with you, but your injuries haven't healed yet, and the Ministry of War is not an easy job, so I'd better stay here in Jingzhao Mansion for a while. Well. King Ma Bin is a close minister of the emperor. He is very principled and super capable, so Qian Don't be disdainful just because you come from a poor family. You must cheer up and do your job well. Although I have a good relationship with King Ma Bin, when it comes to business, that guy has no mercy at all, so don't be fooled. He was killed as the monkey that was scaring the chicken, and when the time came he came to me and cried.”
Binwang is the character of Ma Zhou.
Farewell is imminent, so it is natural to arrange this capable subordinate properly. As for Du Chuke, Fang Jun didn't need to worry about it. The guy looked cold-faced, but in fact he had a very wide network of contacts. Moreover, he was a private person under the care of His Majesty Li Er, and he had his own arrangements with His Majesty Li Er.
Cheng Wuting stared and said: "So powerful?"
Fang Jun nodded: "It's more powerful than you think. This person is pure-hearted and has no desires. He is not greedy for money, not lusty, and does not seek power. He works wholeheartedly for the Tang Dynasty, so you must not try to provoke him, as there will be no good consequences."
Cheng Wuting looks rough and arrogant, but in fact he is very measured. Since Fang Jun has mentioned it, he will naturally pay attention.
Taking a sip of tea, Fang Jun asked: "Where are the people captured last night?"
Speaking of this, Cheng Wuting suddenly burst into laughter: "Where else can they be locked up? There is no room in the entire Chang'an prison cell for these people. They are just squatting along the wall of the cell with their buttocks naked, and stuffing their heads in one by one." In the crotch, lest I see an acquaintance.”
"No one came to intercede to get someone?"
"Why not? The eldest grandson of the Helan family, the Linghu family... But I remember your instructions. No matter who they are, they will not be seen and will not give them a chance to intercede."
"Very good, it seems that the Guanlong family has a share..." Fang Jun narrowed his eyes, anger gradually rising in his heart.
It's okay to lose the official Jing Zhaoyin, but he can't swallow this breath!
Dad teaches you to be generous and open-minded, but this doesn’t mean that if someone slaps you on the left cheek, you have to give the right cheek to him, right?
Fang Jun said: "This matter can't be regarded as an eternal feud, so we won't talk about nonsense like a gentleman's revenge is never too late..."
Cheng Wuting stared at him in shock and said, "What? Let's just forget about it? These guys are so abominable, we can't let them go so easily!"
"Alas, be patient and don't be impatient. Who told you to let go?"
"Didn't you just say you don't hold grudges?"
Fang Jun said: "What I'm talking about is that it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years. When did you say you don't hold grudges?"
Cheng Wu was quite confused: "What do you mean?"
A trace of a smile appeared on Fang Jun's face: "What I mean is that I don't believe in the nonsense that a gentleman takes revenge after ten years. Since we have a grudge, we will avenge him today. Naturally, it cannot be said whether it is ten years or eight years. It is too long." "Chang, I can't wait any longer!"
Cheng Wu was very happy: "This is the second house!"
Fang Jun laughed loudly: "That's right, don't they all call us a stick? Then give them a stick again! Immediately summon all the yamen patrol officers and put up notices on the streets and alleys of Chang'an City. , it is said that Jingzhao Mansion will hold a public trial meeting in the Yamen at noon tomorrow to publicly hear the participants last night. Once the evidence is conclusive, the criminals who caused trouble with Dongshi Xiaoju will be severely punished according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and will not be tolerated. Then, the names, place of origin, etc. of all convicted prisoners will be published in the "Zhenguan Weekly" , making the world despise it and take it as a warning!”
"Mom!" Cheng Wuting screamed, and his jaw almost dropped: "This, this, this...isn't this too cruel?"
In this era, the relationship between masters, servants, and tribesmen is by no means an employment relationship or a blood relationship, but a relationship of prosperity and loss, broken bones and tendons! Whether it is law or reason, "sharing blessings and sharing hardships" between masters, servants and clan members is a universal value. If one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven; otherwise, if one person suffers disaster, the whole clan suffers.
Otherwise, why do you think this inhumane rule of "killing the nine tribes" has lasted for thousands of years?
Whether it is a domestic servant or a clan member, as long as he is found guilty, the master's family and clan will inevitably be implicated. Of course, Fang Jun is not so confused as to think that he can convict and punish the owners behind these vendors for the mere crime of Xiaoju in Dongshi. However, he cannot convict or punish them, but he cannot deny that the owners are guilty!
What do family members care about most?
reputation!
Don’t you value reputation above all else?
Well, although I can't accuse you of condoning and supporting the family slaves to gather and cause trouble, when the time comes, the place of origin, family, and origin of those traders will be published in Guanzhong, so that the world can see what you so-called aristocratic families are doing behind the scenes. I've committed some violation of discipline and poured dirty water on your golden family name. Let's see if you're disgusted!
Then, Fang Jun ordered: "I ordered people to clean up all the warehouses in the yamen for me, and make a few more rooms, so that I can use them."
Cheng Wuting couldn't feel Fang Jun's pulse at all, and couldn't follow Fang Jun's thoughts at all. He asked doubtfully: "Why is this?"
Fang Jun smiled mysteriously and said calmly: "The secret must not be leaked!"
Cheng Wuting: "..."
What the hell are you pretending to be? It’s the end of the month, if you have votes, please vote for us... I beg you! ~
