Chapter 1583 Chu Suiliang teaches his son
Chu Yanfu felt that his IQ had been insulted and cursed: "This Ma Zhou is too bad!"
Fortunately, when I was in Jingzhao Mansion just now, I was grateful for Ma Zhou's reminder. Since I was completely fooled by others, I just waited for him to go home obediently and die down like the sixteen booksellers. At least that's what it looks like from the outside, which makes the Chu family look like they are in the same group as those sixteen booksellers in the eyes of others...
No matter what those sixteen booksellers are planning, the Chu family may not be able to escape the suspicion of being "the same species."
What the emperor hates most and hates the most is for aristocratic families to unite to fight against the imperial power. The Chu family was originally close to the Guanlong nobles headed by the eldest grandson family. Now if the emperor thinks that the Chu family is planning together with the sixteen booksellers, What kind of "conspiracy", what would you think of Chu Suiliang?
Invisibly, a hole was dug for Chu Suiliang.
If Chu Suiliang was a little vague and careless, and fell into it without knowing it, in the end the sixteen booksellers excluded the Chu family, and Chu Suiliang was suspected by the emperor to be in the same group with the sixteen booksellers, and the result was that the inside and outside Not a human being...
No wonder Chu Yanfu was angry and cursed.
Chu Suiliang sighed softly, his son's qualifications are limited, and he always looks at people and things superficially, so what can he do?
"My son should broaden his horizons. There is no absolute good or evil in this world, let alone in the officialdom. If it is beneficial to me today, you will be my ally; if there is a conflict of interest tomorrow, you will be my political enemy. Today's Horse Zhou designed it for you. You have anger in your heart, but you cannot regard it as an enemy. Tomorrow Ma Zhou will be kind to you, and you will be grateful in your heart, but you cannot regard him as a benefactor. In everything, you must weigh the pros and cons before speaking. If you cannot maintain this calmness, you will never set foot in this officialdom and return to your hometown to farm. It’s just a job to be a farmer..."
This is Chu Suiliang's experience in officialdom for half his life. He has taught him tirelessly, but how much his son can understand is beyond his control.
These words are indeed spoken from the bottom of my heart. If you can't distinguish the entanglements of interests in the officialdom, and can't distinguish between advancement and retreat, and can't see the trade-offs, then simply go back to your hometown and wander in the woods, study and farm in your spare time. Although it is a bit useless, at least it is not As for harming the family and affecting the descendants...
Chu Yanfu looked unhappy: "According to my father's wishes, if Fang Jun's servant is beneficial to me tomorrow, I have to clear up all the past grudges, and am I just trying to tolerate him?"
Chu Suiliang nodded and said: "It's just like this, and it's not the revenge of killing father and son. What's so big about it?"
Chu Yanfu opened his mouth, looking aggrieved.
When he thought about it, if a man is standing in heaven and earth, if he can't be happy with his grudges, what's the point of his life?
Going against one's heart for a little benefit is not something that the upright Chu Dalang can do!
Rolling his eyes, Chu Yanfu changed the subject and asked: "In my father's opinion, how should we deal with it now?"
Chu Suiliang said: "This petition is well written, clear and well-organized, and the handwriting is excellent. I will make a new copy later and send it to Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow morning. I will also go to Ma Zhou. Let's continue to sue Wei." Your Highness!”
Chu Yanfu glared and said, "Huh? Still suing? If the King of Wei becomes angry and wants to attack our family, won't our family become the leader?"
Chu Suiliang said angrily: "No matter how angry King Wei is, what can he do to my family? But if His Majesty misunderstands that our family is entangled with those aristocratic families, then that will be a sharp sword hanging above our heads, and we can be doomed anytime, anywhere!"
No matter how much he is trusted by His Majesty, once the imperial power comes into play, the Emperor will frown at anyone!
Why didn't this kid understand even though I had been talking for a long time?
Could it be that I was drunk and planted the seed in the yellow-faced belly in a daze...
Chu Yanfu shrank his neck in fright and hurriedly said: "Father, calm down, I will go and make a copy right now..."
He was afraid that his father would get angry and deal with him, so he quickly walked away in despair...
*****
The Ministry of War Yamen.
Fang Jun sorted the pile of official documents into categories, watched as the clerk placed them on the bookshelf on the side of the wall, and then leisurely called the doctors in while holding a tea cup.
Cui Dunli, Du Zhijing, Liu Shi, Liu Xian, Yu Chuzheng and others came in one after another and sat on a row of chairs in front of the desk.
This is the way Fang Jun established the meeting style after he became the Minister of War. The superiors and subordinates sit face to face. Because there is a desk between them, the chief officer is at the top and his subordinates are below. The hierarchy is clear. It also reduces the previous division between the chief officer and his subordinates at the top. Everyone was sitting on their knees in a reserved manner, which was very welcomed by the officials of the Ministry of War.
The clerk brought hot tea to each official, and everyone sat casually to start the internal meeting of the Ministry of War.
Fang Jun knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention. He looked around from the main seat, thinking that this would be like being an official in future generations...
"Mr. Du, how is the progress of the Goguryeo map surveying that you are responsible for?"
"Returning to the Chamber, Minister, the progress is quite smooth. However, the Goguryeo Mountains are high and densely forested, and many places are inaccessible. It is very difficult for Tang Dynasty merchants and craftsmen to move, and the progress is inevitably slower, especially in the area south of the Liaoshui River. Due to the small number of Han people, There are many difficulties in collecting information and exploring the route, and it will take some time to complete the map drawing of the route from Liaodong to Pyongyang City.”
Fang Jun nodded and encouraged: "Goguryeo is so high and far away that there will inevitably be inconveniences. We must encourage the craftsmen and surveying and mapping personnel below. For the long-term peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty, for your majesty's grand hegemony, and for their own merits, we must do our best." We must persevere and overcome all kinds of difficulties. The Ministry of War must also provide the greatest support and must not let them bleed and shed tears at the front.”
Throughout the ages, bureaucracy has been the most common phenomenon.
The big men sit in the court and point fingers without considering the actual situation ahead. They often fail in their missions because they are only disappointed. Not only do they not think carefully about their own mistakes and correct them, but they shift all the responsibilities to those who are risking their lives at the front. The subordinates fought hard, causing the pawns to bleed and shed tears.
The Ministry of War must not have this kind of style. If it is discovered at the slightest moment, it will resolutely deal with the harshest blow!
Even if it is not happening now, we should be on guard against the slightest change.
Du Zhijing stood up quickly and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Minister Fang. Your subordinates will always urge you to convey the wishes of Minister Fang to the surveying and mapping personnel ahead, and do all the logistics work at any time, and strive to complete the map surveying and mapping in Goguryeo as soon as possible. Do a good job of supporting the victory of the Eastern Expedition Army!”
Fang Jun smiled and nodded, waving his hand for Du Zhijing to sit down, and said warmly: "There is no need to be so strict. We are all colleagues. This is just a regular internal meeting of the Ministry of War. Everyone can speak freely and be more casual."
How to handle the relationship between superiors and subordinates is a worldwide problem that has existed in every yamen or unit throughout the ages. The superior officer should not only ensure his dignity so that his words and laws can be followed as ordered, but he should not be so strict that his subordinates will develop resistance and aggravate the gap between superiors and subordinates...
The scale of time is extremely difficult to grasp.
Du Zhijing sat down, and everyone reported on some matters one after another, such as the allocation of troops and military rations to Youying Prefecture, etc. Among them, Liu Shi reported the most matters. After all, the most important department of the Ministry of War, the "Forging Bureau", is located in under its control.
For a moment, everyone looked at Liu Shi with envy and jealousy...
Who would have thought that this descendant of the Liu family in Hedong, who had once been at loggerheads with Fang Jun, would be subdued by Fang Jun so quickly, and that he would be so devoted to him?
At the end, Fang Jun put down the tea cup in his hand, knocked on the table, and said, "I'm going to tell you something big."
The officials quickly put down their teacups and sat up straight.
Fang Jun said: "You have heard that His Majesty plans to establish a 'Datang Culture Promotion Association', which aims to reduce the price of book paper so that more people in the world can have books to read and paper to write on, and then achieve the goal of The purpose of inheriting the writings of the sages and prospering Chinese culture is shared by His Highness the King of Wei and his officials. However, this move has been criticized by many aristocratic families. Resistance and obstruction... Most of you here are from noble families, but I am the first to say something ugly. I don't care if you are the Cui family of Shandong, the Liu family of Hedong, or the Du family of Fangling. Since you are an official in the Ministry of War, then you The first and most important status is that of an official of the Ministry of War and a minister of His Majesty. I should keep my loyalty to the Emperor and patriotism at heart..."
Having said this, he looked around indifferently, making all the officials feel shuddered.
Fang Erlang's authority in the Ministry of War can be described as "covering the sky with one hand". Whoever dares to blow up his wings must be prepared to face unreasonable and brutal suppression...
After shocking everyone, Fang Jun softened his tone and said: "However, I am not a completely unreasonable person. As long as you don't go too far, how can you be in trouble with your colleagues? It is said that if you cultivate in the same boat in ten years, you will be in the same boat in a hundred years. Sleeping together, we must have practiced together for at least eighty years in our previous life, right? This is fate, and we must cherish it.”
The officials looked at each other with twitching faces...
What a fate!
The devil has been practicing with you for eighty years...
Complaints are complaints, and everyone cheered up, knowing that with Fang Jun's preparation, something big must be announced.
I wish all lovers in the world will eventually get married, happy Valentine's Day for lovers, and wishing those without lovers... I guess even if your brothers wish you happiness, you won't be happy, right?
