Chapter 2575 Proper Arrangements
Chapter 419: Proper Arrangements
Fang Jun saw Cui Dunli's shocked face, smiled and waved his hands and said: "Sit down and listen to me explain to you in detail."
"Here!"
Cui Dunli sat opposite Fang Jun, holding the teacup handed over by Fang Jun with both hands. Hearing Fang Jun explain in detail what happened in the morning, he suddenly felt uneasy. He hurriedly put down the teacup, stood up and said: "How can I, the lower official, be so virtuous? How dare I steal the information?" The position of Minister? Now that the Eastern Expedition is imminent, the Ministry of War is responsible for regulating the world. There must be no mistakes in the transportation of troops, food, and weapons. Xiaguan's abilities are limited, and he has always been under Fang Shaobao's wing to achieve small results. He definitely dare not replace Fang Shaobao! Now go to the political hall and tell the ministers the whole story.”
"Alas, sit down quickly, I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you so impatient?"
Fang Jun stopped Cui Dunli and asked him to sit down, and said with some displeasure: "In your eyes, I am one of those people who is jealous of talents, narrow-minded, and unwilling to promote his subordinates?"
"Of course not!"
Cui Dunli looked sincere and said: "Everyone in the Ministry of War yamen, from top to bottom, doesn't know that Fang Shaobao is magnanimous and treats his subordinates with sincerity? It's just that the lower-level officials are incapable of learning and have limited abilities. How dare they be compared with Fang Shaobao?"
< br>
He had to be so respectful.
Although he considers himself to be talented enough to rule the Ministry of War, all the top and bottom of the Ministry of War are now subdued by Fang Jun. Don't say that he is only a "temporary" minister. Even if Fang Jun's Minister of the Ministry of War is dismissed, the imperial court will parachute a minister. If the Minister of the Ministry of War comes over, as long as Fang Jun makes a mistake, the new Minister will never be able to control the entire Ministry of War within a year or two.
What's more, I only heard about what happened in the morning from Fang Jun. Who knows if there are other hidden stories in it?
He had never heard from his family that he might rise to the top. Now that he suddenly had the first big pie in the sky, it inevitably made him suspicious. What if this was the result of a game in the morning, and his rise to the top was due to Shandong Shijiache In the end, he fell to the Guanlong nobles and was won by the Guanlong nobles. Then he was hostile to Fang Jun. From now on, he had to keep his tail between his legs in the Ministry of War, otherwise he could be killed by Fang Jun if he was not careful. Jun was tortured to death...
This situation is very likely to happen. Nowadays, the voices within the Shandong Aristocratic Family are not unanimous about taking sides. Some people suggest that they should continue to form their own faction as usual and maintain the dignity of the Shandong Aristocratic Family even if they are suppressed. Some people want to join forces with the Shandong Aristocratic Family. The Jiangnan nobles united and relied on the imperial power to launch a counterattack against the Guanlong nobles.
Even if they suddenly fall to the Guanlong nobles, it is not impossible for a force that has been suppressed for decades and a force that is currently being suppressed to stick together for warmth.
He is just a minister of the Ministry of War, and he is not the direct son of the Cui family in Qinghe, so he cannot always keep track of the trends of his family and even the entire Shandong family...
But Cui Dunli still trusted Fang Jun's character.
This prince-in-law, who is extremely powerful outside, has a high prestige in the yamen of the Ministry of War. He never treats his subordinates too harshly. He is even famous in various yamen in the central government for "protecting his shortcomings". If anyone bullies an official of the Ministry of War, he will always stand up. out and maintained.
He is not a person who monopolizes power. As the left minister of the Ministry of War, he has actually been doing things close to the minister of the Ministry of War. He knows that Fang Jun is not only willing to delegate power, but also trusts him as a person and cultivates him.
Even though everyone is seeking promotion in his official career, under such circumstances, how can he temporarily take Fang Jun's position with peace of mind?
Fang Jun said happily: "It's good that you understand. Besides, you have to know that it is certain that I will be suspended from my post. If you are not the temporary replacement for the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, the court will send someone else. Unless I am narrow-minded, I will treat the Ministry of War as such." You should not allow others to interfere with your one-third of an acre of land, but you should also Understand what the Ministry of War was like before, and how much hard work we have spent to develop the Ministry of War to its current situation. For the sake of your own peace of mind, you can just sit back and watch our hard work over the past few years, and don't let others occupy the magpie's nest and command randomly. , and then it’s all in vain?”
Cui Dunli was silent.
He knew that since the day when Fang Jun became the left minister of the Ministry of War, he had been sparing no effort to pursue the concept of a "big war ministry", centralize the allocation of ordnance, fight for the right to mobilize troops, and even remove the power of judicial interrogation from the Weiwei Temple. After taking it from his hands, countless efforts have brought about the current prosperous situation of the Ministry of War, making this last among the six departments suddenly become one of the most popular yamen in the center of the imperial court.
Yu Gong, the concentration of military power allows the empire to respond faster when a crisis comes. Instead of the previous constraints between the imperial power, the political affairs hall, and even the generals, which caused the military aircraft to slack off and delay the fighter planes, now only the military aircraft are needed to deal with the crisis. Once the order is issued, troops and horses from all over the world can be deployed and mobilized as soon as possible.
In private matters, the Ministry of War has become increasingly powerful and has a higher status. Along with it, the officials of the entire Ministry of War have become more and more powerful. They have the power in their hands and are no longer dispensable in the past. With enough confidence and a high starting point, it will be natural for them to be promoted to the left in the future. Everything will fall into place.
Under such circumstances, if an outsider comes to temporarily take over the duties of the Ministry of War, I am afraid that the entire yamen will be in conflict with each other, and those who covet the power of the Ministry of War will inevitably take advantage of the chaos. In recent years, everyone has been trying to Efforts to strengthen the Ministry of War will be in vain.
In this way, the evaluation of him as the Minister of War may still be as usual, but in the hearts of the chief officials of the ministries, even the Prime Minister and His Majesty, the evaluation must be a mess.
He is also a decisive person. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said respectfully: "Since Fang Shaobao trusts the subordinate so much, the subordinate should do his best and never let Fang Shaobao down."
Fang Jun nodded slightly and pointedly said: "Not only do I not be disappointed, but also Your Majesty must not be disappointed."
Cui Dunli suddenly perked up, leaned forward slightly, stared in surprise and said, "Fang Shaobao said...is this also what His Majesty meant?"
Fang Jun made a "ho" sound, took a sip of tea, and said casually: "What do you mean by that? Could it be that Brother Yuanli thought that the Ministry of War was my personal property? This Ministry of War is naturally the Empire's Ministry of War. Your Majesty’s Ministry of War, you and I are all ministers, dedicated to the empire and dedicated to your Majesty!”
Cui Dunli sat upright with excitement on his face.
He thought that he was just a private person in Fang Jun's circle, so he entrusted himself with important tasks. Before he could clarify the family's intentions, he was worried about gains and losses, fearing that the family's intentions would be contrary to his own. Unexpectedly, he entered through Fang Jun. His Majesty's sight!
He knew very well that the stance of the entire Shandong family was to stand firmly on the side of the imperial power. Even if they secretly coddled with other forces, the ultimate goal was to enter the emperor's sight, attract the emperor's attention, and thus become a "loyal minister" supporting the imperial power. righteous".
And the entire Shandong family has been planning for countless years, but still failed to achieve such a goal, but inadvertently achieved it through Fang Jun...
Cui Dunli was inexplicably excited and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Fang Shaobao, even if the official is shattered to pieces, he will live up to his trust!"
Fang Jun said happily: "That's very good, but as a chief official, my stance and methods are different from before. I still need to be careful and rigorous in everything, so as not to make any big mistakes, make any undecided things, or make mistakes." Whatever the difficulty is, you can tell me and I will try my best to help you.”
Cui Dunli burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Thank you so much, Fang Shaobao!"
Nowadays, Fang Jun's power is not only in the Ministry of War. As a rising star in the army, he is surrounded by a large number of young officers. He has become a new big boss in the military and has a high voice. Moreover, he has connections with several central government offices such as the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Industry, the Yushitai, and the Jingzhao Mansion. Many times, problems that others may seem unable to solve may only require his words.
After a while, an official document issued by the Political Affairs Hall was delivered to the Ministry of War, announcing the order to terminate Fang Jun's authority as Minister of War and to temporarily replace it with Cui Dunli, the left minister of the Ministry of War.
There was an uproar in the yamen of the Ministry of War.
Even though the outside world has mixed praise and criticism for Fang Jun, the people at the Ministry of War and Yamen highly respect him and are sincerely convinced. The current prince-in-law not only dared to take responsibility, but was also willing to delegate power and spared no effort to fight for the interests of the yamen. Who among the top and bottom did not benefit from this?
It can even be said that among the six ministers, none of them can match Fang Jun's prestige in the Ministry of War.
Suddenly, an order came to terminate Fang Jun's duties as Minister of the Ministry of War. This surprised the officials of the Ministry of War and inevitably made them angry.
Fortunately, the person who "temporarily" takes over the post of Minister of War is Cui Dunli. He is one of his own. Even though many people are inevitably jealous, it is better than appointing an outsider to take charge of the Ministry of War. (End of chapter)
