Chapter 1386 King Luo Bin
If we were to make a ranking list of "the most popular ancient poems" in later generations, the top one would not necessarily be "Moonlight Before the Bed" or "White Clothes Behind the Mountains", but eight or nine times out of ten it would be "Goose Goose". Goose"......
There is no need to elaborate on the advantages of this ancient poem, and King Luo Bin is famous throughout the ages because of this ancient poem.
Fang Jun really didn't expect that the upcoming magistrate of Bochang County who came to Fang Mansion to congratulate him actually had a son named King Luo Bin...
When he first met Luo Luyuan, he frankly said that he didn't know him and was not hypocritically polite. However, when he saw the young King Luo Bin now, he really wanted to say "I have long admired him."
It’s really “long admired”...
When Luo Luyuan saw Fang Jun staring straight at his son, he felt puzzled in his heart, thinking that Fang Jun was unhappy because the child had too many children. He quickly scolded: "Huangkou boy, how come you don't have any education? I've always taught you to be dignified and steady. , have you forgotten all about it?”
King Luo Bin's face twitched, he was very aggrieved, but he bowed to Fang Jun with folded hands and apologized honestly: "You have no status, I don't know etiquette, I still hope Haihan..."
He looks like a little adult, which is very interesting.
Fang Jun chuckled, stepped forward and gave the child prodigy a "touch on the head", and said with a smile: "There is a saying in the hexagram "Guan" in the 64th hexagram of "Zhouyi": 'Guan the light of the country, use the guest to be the king', Is this where your name comes from?”
Guan Gua is Dagon, which is the gate. Six-fourth enters the gate. The essence of observing the country is to observe nine-five. Nine-five is the king and the country. Sixty-four is the guest and the scholar-bureaucrat. He is close to the king and sees the light of the country. If you have a deep understanding, it is most suitable to "become a guest in the king", that is, to volunteer to be an official in the dynasty and to display your ambitions.
Before Luo Luyuan could speak, King Luo Bin had already opened his eyes and said curiously: "Hey, how did you know that my name is King Bin, and my name is Touring?"
Fang Jun was speechless, how could I know this? This sentence "Observe the light of the country and use the guest as the king" was learned from Ma Zhou. Ma Zhou's word "Bin Wang" also means this...
Luo Luyuan said helplessly: "The child is naughty and makes Erlang laugh."
Fang Jun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is smart and smart, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is handsome. I like him very much. However, I really have no time to talk to Brother Luo at the moment. Why don't I go in and sit down for a while? I will discuss it with you after the banquet. I don’t know what Brother Luo thinks about my son enrolling in my school.”
"Being respectful is not as good as obeying orders, then I will be troubled."
Luo Luyuan was naturally overjoyed. The reason why he wanted to send his son to the Fang family school was, firstly, because the conditions in Bochang where he was going to work were difficult, and he was afraid that his son would get sick and die here. Secondly, because his son was talented, if he could study in the Fang family Receiving instruction in school is bound to be extremely beneficial to growth.
He had heard that Fang Xuanling had gradually decentralized power over government affairs and would teach students in the school in his spare time. It was really a childish thing to be taught by a prime minister who was praised for his character and knowledge. good fortune!
The two saluted again, and Luo Luyuan quickly took his son out of the main entrance and entered the courtyard. The two just chatted for a while, but a large group of people blocked the door.
The guests who entered the hospital earlier looked curiously at Luo Luyuan, who was holding the child, and whispered to each other to find out who this person was. Ordinary people waiting in front of the door can only get a kind word from Fang Jun, but they have been chatting with this person for a long time, so he is definitely not an ordinary person.
But how can people here know a scholar from the "countryside" of Wuzhou who came to the capital?
Someone came up to chat with him.
Luo Luyuan was socializing with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Luo Luyuan, who lives in Wuzhou, is a scholar of Jinke. He has been recommended by the prime minister and will be appointed as the magistrate of Bochang County."
The surrounding eyes suddenly focused on him.
No one cares where this "Bo Chang" is, and no one cares whether the county magistrate comes from the sixth rank or the seventh rank. People only care about the sentence "recommended by the house prime minister"!
Fang Xuanling recommended many people, but every talent he recommended achieved great success in the end, so Fang Xuanling's eye for discerning people was praised by both the public and the public. Whether the Wuzhou scholar in front of him had an old relationship with the Fang family or was favored and supported by Fang Xuanling's wise eyes, it shows that this person's future is bound to be limitless.
For officials, it is instinct to dig into the camp.
This is not a derogatory meaning. Officialdom is not only about talent, but also about connections. There are many people who are unappreciated for their talents. Why? It’s not just because I don’t have good connections, I have no chance to put my talents and skills to use!
Many people gathered around. One said they had admired him for a long time, and another praised him for his intelligence. For a moment, Luo Luyuan seemed to be the center of the courtyard.
And the reason is just a "recommendation by the prime minister" and a few more words with Fang Jun at the door...
Not only did Luo Luyuan have a lot of emotions, he was originally an introverted and dull person, but he happened to fall into the eyes of the house prime minister. Could this be considered a meteoric rise?
*****
It was almost noon, and there was still an endless stream of guests coming to the banquet to congratulate.
As a veteran who started his career with His Majesty Li Er and conquered the world, Fang Xuanling's qualifications are undoubtedly unquestionable. There are only a handful of people in the entire empire who have higher qualifications than him. Almost all officials are his "backward", and at the same time, they are now Nowadays, the chief official ranks first among the prime ministers and assistant ministers. Which official in the court dares to treat him lightly?
It doesn’t matter how big or small the gifts are at the house’s wedding banquet, everyone must be present.
Maybe Fang Xuanling might not be able to see you when you come, and it will be a waste of opportunity to flatter him. But if you don't come, once Fang Xuanling notices it, it will be a big deal. Even though Fang Xuanling has a gentle temperament and is as gentle as jade, he won't care about such trivial matters, but you have to know that even if Fang Xuanling doesn't care, he still has a "stick" Fang Erlang in his family who will definitely retaliate...
If Fang Jun remembers it, it will be too late to cry!
Not only the officials from the capital who were of some rank came to celebrate, but also the officials stationed in Beijing from other places refused to miss the opportunity to build relationships and get closer to their two high-ranking officials, Fang Xuanling and Fang Jun, and they all prepared for it. The congratulatory ceremony came to the door to congratulate.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Chaoji envoys, as representatives of the state capitals, have gathered in the capital every year to participate in the Yuan Dynasty gathering. However, in the early days when the imperial envoys came to Beijing, they did not have a unified place of residence. Instead, they "rented houses and lived together with merchants." His Majesty Li Er believed that "since the restoration of etiquette was insufficient, many people must have complained about it." Therefore, he moved to Yongchongfang, State residences were built in Huaizhenfang, Daixianfang and other places for local officials to stay when they came to Beijing.
Before the end of the year, these state residences were not idle. There were affairs in various places that were negotiated with the yamen of the three provinces and six ministries, so there were many officials living there every day. Anyone who can be sent to the capital to handle local affairs, who is not a person with a delicate mind and a smooth character? How could Fang Xuanling, the leader of the dynasty's prime ministers and ministers, let go of such an opportunity when he was holding a wedding?
Even if your rank is too low to see Fang Xuanling in person, it would be a great deal if you could have a drink and chat with the big shots in the court who you usually meet at a banquet on such an occasion. Because of my affection, if I need anything in the future, I would like to come to my door and talk to you, right?
And Fang Jun was transferred to the left minister of the Ministry of War. Of course, those princes and generals with great merits looked down upon him, but which low-ranking military general couldn't rush to curry favor with him? All promotions and promotions are in the hands of this de facto head of the Ministry of War!
Capital officials, local officials, civil servants, military generals...
It was really crowded and crowded, and the words "everything is like a bustling city" can no longer express the excitement of the house.
At nearly noon, a chamberlain, escorted by the imperial guards, pushed through the crowd of guests in front of the house, came to Fang Jun's ear, and whispered in Fang Jun's ear: "Your Majesty is coming, be ready to welcome him."
< br>
Fang Jun quickly ordered someone to go inside and report.
At this time, the emperor was very particular about having fun with the people and being courteous to the virtuous ministers. His Majesty Li Er often mingled with the ministers. There was no need for such things as paving the roads with loess, splashing clean water on the streets, and burning incense for bathing. .
When all the men, women, old and young of the Fang family were standing in front of the door, they saw a group of imperial guards with bright armor and heroic appearance approaching, clearing the place about ten feet in front of the door. His Majesty Li Er Dressed in regular clothes, he rode on an unusually white horse that was all white and divine. He rode up with the prince, King Wu, King Jin and other descendants. When he got to the door, he swung the stirrup from the saddle and dismounted.
Fang Xuanling had already led his family, old and young, to bow and salute, saying: "I respectfully welcome your Majesty!"
The other guests who came to congratulate also stood on both sides and shouted in unison: "Welcome Your Majesty!"
Only Fang Jun stared blankly at His Majesty Li Er's white horse...
Could this be the legendary white dragon horse with its hooves facing west? (End of chapter)
