Chapter 5040 Shangguan Tingzhi
Shangguan Tingzhi is a regular Confucian student. He has studied classics and history since he was a child. His Confucian thoughts are deeply rooted. He is still young and has no experience in the world. His rough jade is a bit pure and he lacks the ability to understand and accept new things. He is unable to do so for a while. Come around the corner.
Merchant affairs have always been the most despicable, and now his father actually asked him to go to the West Market as the mayor, where he would associate with those cunning and unscrupulous merchants all day long?
Especially due to the nature of the West Market, Hu merchants came from the west and directly entered the Jinguang Gate to arrive at the West Market. Every day, there were groups of packhorses and excrement everywhere, making it very pickled... How could I, a son of a noble family and a master like jade, be so free? Willing to fall?
He was a little reluctant: "The Prime Minister of Xishi City is the eighth grade, why don't you go to the Yamen and talk about it, and change it to another Jingxian County Registrar!"
Jingxian County is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the Chief Registrar is considered to be the third-in-command in the county government. He is located under the Ling and Cheng, and his rank is from the eighth level, which is two levels different from the City Cheng.
Although asking my father to go to the Yamen to change his position would inevitably involve a favor, but after all, he was demoted two levels, whether he was in the Yamen or was stabbed to the Yushitai, it was justifiable...
Shangguan Yi was angry because he refused to argue: "My father has decided on this matter, so don't say more!"
Shangguan Tingzhi was about to say more, but Shangguan Tingzhang hurriedly pulled him aside. His father seemed gentle and graceful, but he was a stubborn character. He always kept his word at home, and no one could object to the decisions he made.
Shangguan Tingzhi was dejected and said helplessly: "My son just accepts the order."
Seeing how decadent he was, Shangguan Yi couldn't bear it and said softly: "As a father, can I still harm you? Later, you go to Fang's house and meet Duke Yue to tell you what happened during the selection of officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Yamen today. Let me tell you something in detail..."
Then he told Shangguan Tingzhi that he wanted to investigate Zhang Zixuan, and taught Shangguan Tingzhi how to speak.
This is the advantage of children from aristocratic families. Their ancestors have accumulated countless experiences. Before the children become officials, they have extremely detailed and strict education. When encountering problems after becoming officials, they can also ask their elders in the family how to solve them, and they can also mobilize their family connections to help solve problems.
However, children from poor families or ordinary people have no such help. They can only rely on themselves to struggle in their official career, encounter many obstacles and get into a lot of troubles, but their official career often becomes a wedding dress for others...< br>
Shangguan Tingzhi is not stupid, otherwise he would not be able to stand out among thousands of candidates. After hearing this, he understood the words and nodded repeatedly: "Father, don't worry, I understand!"
To put it bluntly, he wanted to show his goodwill to Fang Jun and take this opportunity to express his position and stand on Fang Jun's boat.
Shangguan Tingzhang was a little confused: "Please tell me, father, that the imperial censor is your majesty's eagle dog. This is known to everyone in the government and the public. Now that the censor is seeking trouble for Fang Jun, we have to stand by Fang Jun. Isn't it the same thing?" Going against His Majesty?”
It's okay to stand in line and express your position, but how can you abandon His Majesty and side with Fangjun?
No matter how strong Fang Jun is, he can't be stronger than His Majesty, right?
Shangguan Yi did not feel dissatisfied, but instead taught earnestly: "Whether it is court affairs or world affairs, it is often not either one or the other. Liu Xiangdao is His Majesty's eagle and dog, isn't Fang Jun the same? Compared with the two, what about the former? How can it be compared with the latter? It is currently rumored that there is quite a quarrel between His Majesty and Fang Jun. It's true, but so what? From what I can see, Fang Jun not only has a stable position, but also returned to the political hall and became the prime minister, and the cronies he promoted and promoted in the past have not been suppressed or demoted because His Majesty knows that looking at the court and civil servants. Military general, Fang Jun is his most solid foundation.”
Your Majesty has countless eagle dogs, and Fang Jun is the biggest and strongest one!
The two brothers were convinced, and Shangguan Tingzhi hurried back to bathe and change clothes.
……
When he returned to his residence, his wife Zheng rushed to greet him. Seeing that he was preparing to bathe and change clothes, she asked the maid to prepare clothes and accessories, and she personally served her husband to bathe.
After soaking in the tub for a while, Shangguan Tingzhi enjoyed his wife's service. He lowered his head and saw his beautiful and graceful face, with her temples sticking close to her fair face. She asked with a smile, "Kun'er, are you making a fuss?"
Shangguan Kun'er is the eldest son of the two, who is less than one year old. He usually has a lot of energy and is very noisy.
Mrs. Zheng said softly: "My grandma is watching, it's nothing serious. Mr. Lang is freshening up and changing clothes at the moment. Is there a banquet and poetry party that he has to go to for an appointment?"
After giving birth, I was bloated and my figure had not yet returned to its original shape. I wonder if my husband was tired of it and wanted to go out to look for flowers and try new things...
Shangguan Tingzhi chuckled: "Where did you think you were, madam? My father asked me to go to the Duke of Liang's house to pay a visit to Duke Yue."
Then he told the story in a low voice.
His wife is the legitimate daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang. She is a well-known lady with extraordinary knowledge, intelligence, agility, and attentiveness. She has always acted as a "think tank" between husband and wife. Shangguan Tingzhi admires her intelligence and strategy, obeys her advice, and never hides anything.
Mrs. Zheng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and whispered: "Father is very far-sighted, so he is right, but when Lang Jun went to Fang's house, he might ask for advice on the operation of the West City. The original demolition and expansion of the East and West cities came from Yue. The Duke's advice, later The various regulations of the two cities are mostly in his hands. If anyone in the court today knows the operation and trade of the two cities, it is the Duke of Yue. If he can get a few words of advice, I think he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort in the future. .”
Shangguan Tingzhi understood and nodded repeatedly.
Being coached by him and gaining insights is only one of them, the more important thing is to be able to get into Fang Jun's eyes. As long as you are valued by him, your future will be bright.
Didn’t you see that among those who were recommended and reused by Fang Junzhi, who is now not alone in his or her own role and achieving great success?
Moreover, the reason why his father asked him to go to Fang's house was because of this thought. Otherwise, with his father's official position and his past friendship with Fang Jun, he could have paid a visit in person...
……
The evening breeze is blowing gently and the lanterns are starting to come on.
After dinner, Fang Jun sat in the study, brewed a cup of tea, opened the large pile of "Han Shu", and began to read slowly.
Emperor Taizong's words "take history as a mirror to know the ups and downs". Fang Jun has heard it in his past and present lives, but he has never taken it to heart. He knew it but didn't know why. This time he was ridiculed by Liu Ji. He may not feel humiliated in his heart, but Really ashamed.
So he studied hard.
Just after turning two pages, I saw Xiao Shuer coming in from the outside, with lotus steps and jingling rings. She approached with a delicate fragrance, her face was picturesque and her steps were light.
Every time she studied in the study these past two days, Xiao Shuer's red sleeves became more fragrant and her thoughts were gentle...
Fang Jun looked at the sky. Although it was already dark, the lights in the mansion were brightly lit. Servants and maids were busy doing things and walked past the window from time to time.
He said in astonishment: "Although I know your intention, I am willing to fulfill it, and I enjoy it, but I must exercise some restraint to distinguish between time and occasion, right?"
Xiao Shuer's pretty face flushed, and she stamped her feet and said angrily: "How can there be such a rude person? It was the eldest son of Shangguan Yi, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who came to visit with a post in his father's name, saying that he had something important to tell him."
< br>
"Shangguanyi's son? I want to meet him."
The latest chapter of this book
Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
Fang Jun threw the book aside and went to the front yard with his hands behind his back.
The printing quality of this book is poor, the paper quality is poor, and it makes people dizzy when reading...
In the side hall, Shangguan Tingzhi was sitting on a chair, putting the tea aside without drinking it. He looked at the decoration in the hall from time to time, and thought about what he saw after entering the house. The servants of the Fang family were humble and polite, and their words were appropriate. The house was full of flowers and trees. Servants come and go, and the interior decoration of the hall is elegant and antique. It is worthy of being "one family and two kingdoms", with grand momentum and prosperous doors.
Just as he was thinking about what to say after meeting, he saw Fang Jun, who was wearing a navy blue straight t-shirt, coming with his hands behind his back. His broad shoulders and thick back looked a little thin against the clothes. His back was straight, his steps were grand, and his hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin. Wanzhu did not wear a crown, but wore a piece of white jade around his waist. He had a dark and thin face, handsome eyebrows and a calm smile.
Have you ever had the evil spirit of "bravely championing the three armies and killing people like hemp"?
Rather, he is more like a well-dressed, gentle, and honest young man from an aristocratic family...
He quickly stood up to salute and bowed to the ground: "Junior Shangguan Tingzhi has met the Taiwei."
Fang Jun walked to the main seat and took his seat. Then he waved his hands and said with a smile: "My father and I were colleagues in the past, but there is a big age difference between us. But we are similar. We don't need to be so formal and cautious. We can just talk about our friendship as peers." .”
Shangguan Tingzhi also felt that it would be awkward to call him "uncle", so he followed the good advice: "The Taiwei's merits are in the country and he has great virtue and prestige. It is better to obey my orders than to be respectful."
"Okay, no need to be polite. Sit down and have a sip of tea. If you have any questions, please speak up."
Fang Jun smiled and asked Shangguan Tingzhi to take a seat, and then his eyes glanced at the other person's face from time to time. Seeing that his face was as white as jade, handsome and gentle, he was indeed a rare handsome man, and he nodded secretly in his heart.
He is indeed a man who can give birth to Shangguan Wan'er.
Counting with fingers, it seems that the talented woman who is "the most powerful person in the world" has not yet been born...
He felt a little emotional in his heart, but he didn't know that Shangguan Tingzhi was already worried and at a loss.
Fang Jun's eyes flashed across his face from time to time, making Shangguan Tingzhi's hands and feet feel tense and quite uncomfortable. He knew that he had outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament, and had always been admired by those who "cut off the sleeves to separate the peach", so he was repeatedly entangled and couldn't bear it. He relies on his family background to "escape" from danger.
Fortunately, I have never heard of Fang Jun's obscene habits, otherwise he would probably run away from the door at this moment...
Hurry and explain your intention carefully.
Fortunately, he is a child of a well-established family and has excellent qualities. Although he was panicked, he was able to stay calm and speak clearly without panicking.
Fang Jun drank tea with his eyes lowered, silently listening to Shangguan Tingzhi's words without speaking.
Shangguan Tingzhi finished what he had already considered, and at the end he said cautiously: "My father asked me to remind the Taiwei that the imperial censor may not have evidence, but he may not provoke trouble. Once things get big, everyone in the government and the public will pay attention. "I'm afraid Taiwei won't be able to explain it at that time. After all, the imperial censor is an extremely noble, fair and honest official, but Liu Xiangdao may not be that pure." This was cryptic, but Fang Jun could already hear it. clear.
