Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1024 I Represent Justice

This year's Guanzhong is not cold, even if the snowflakes are flying in the sky, the whole city of Chang'an is covered in the flying white snow, which is more poetic and picturesque.Although the past two years have not been smooth weather, due to the water conservancy facilities in Guanzhong and the technological progress in agricultural planting, the production has still increased every year.

The people live in peace, the merchants enjoy their business, and at the end of the year, every family can cut two catties of fat pork, pull a few feet of flower cloth, and buy a few hanging firecrackers produced by the house.

For Fang Erlang, who has been promoted to Jing Zhaoyin, almost all the people will give a thumbs up when they talk about it, and praise "the house has a kind heart" and "ten thousand families live Buddha"!
People's eyes are sharp!
When Fang Erlang was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he presided over the construction of irrigation and water conservancy, the planting techniques such as seedling raising and seed selection popularized by Fangjia farms, even domestic pig breeding, and port recruitment... Which one is not beneficial to the country and the people, and benefits the people?

Prestige is built up by such compliments.

The Guanlong Group reviled Fang Jun willingly as His Highness's minion, the family's children resented Fang Jun's arrogance and domineering behavior, Chao Zhongqingliu angrily accused Fang Jun of being willing to degenerate and humiliating gentleness... But no matter what these people say, the common people naturally have a steelyard in their hearts.If you are good to our people, you are a good person and a good official. Fang Jun was willing to be a minion and never bullied good people. Fang Jun acted domineering and never bullied men and women.

The common people only see Fang Junzhuan's measures to benefit the common people, so that's fine!

As for being arrogant...

Guanzhong's No. [-] rich man has a pretty good reputation!
Wouldn't it be more pleasant to see all kinds of dudes crushing and wanton bullying?
Supported by the common people, supported by the emperor, and the Guanlong Group was overwhelmed by his series of outrageous and unreasonable actions. Therefore, during this period of time, Fang Jun can be said to be proud and full of ambition!
Outside the gate of the Political Affairs Hall, a row of officials who were waiting to take up their duties before the New Year's seal gathered together and had a good chat.

Fang Jun has been in the limelight recently, and he is also deeply favored by the emperor. Apart from the officials of the Guanlong Group who went out to fight against him, even the officials of the Jiangnan Department who had been "oppressed" all smiled and surrounded him to sing praises. The power of the stars and the moon.

It is the norm in official circles to praise the red and trample the black.

As long as there is no direct conflict of interests at the moment, who would be stupid enough to offend Fang Jun, a popular fried chicken?

Zhang Xingcheng clasped his fists and said with a smile, "The Fang family is a prominent family in Shandong. My ancestors of the Zhang family in Zhongshan also received favors from the Fang family, and my subordinates were often taught by the Fang family when they were in the court. Therefore, the elders of the family sent someone to see them off Bring some local products, and order the subordinate officials to deliver them to the mansion as a New Year gift, and I hope that the house minister and the governor will not dislike the cheap gifts."

Everyone despised it.

As for being so eager to get close?

However, they are both Shandong gentry, so they do have more local affection than others.What's more, Zhang Xingcheng's approach to presenting gift sets really put a lot of thought into it. Who doesn't know that Fang Jun is known as the "God of Wealth", and your gift may not be eye-catching no matter how expensive it is, but it is this kind of souvenir that looks cheap but is actually thoughtful. , more intimate...

However, although Zhang Xingcheng disliked Zhang Xingcheng's seemingly fair and rigorous temperament in front of Fang Jun, no one showed it.Who wouldn't want to curry favor with Fang's father and son?It's just that there is no other people's local affection, so it seems abrupt and inappropriate to do so.

But the same kind of rice feeds a variety of people, there are people who carry sedan chairs and everyone carries hello, hello, hello everyone, so naturally someone wants to be a shit-stirring stick to show that they are different and outrageous...

"Humph!"

Sitting on a chair not far away, Linghu Defen, the new Minister of Rites with a white beard, snorted coldly with a look of disdain.

The scar on this old man's forehead is just right, so he forgot the pain...

Linghu Defen has spent his whole life as a noble minister of the Ministry of Rites, so it can be said that he can be regarded as a group of people who are not proud of being in the officialdom.But this person is very knowledgeable and well-known, saying that he is highly respected is definitely not flattering, and he has a violent temper. Who would want to mess with him?

Everyone was silent, but their voices were much lower.

Fang Jun smiled and glanced at Linghu Defen, who had an unruly expression on his face, and ignored him.It's no wonder that he got into the position of Minister of Rituals at a very old age, and it was mostly because His Majesty Li Er took care of the Guanlong Group to appease him. With such a bad temper, how could he be an official?
He ignored Linghu Defen, but Linghu Defen didn't intend to let him go.

In Linghu Defen's view, Fang Jun's glance at him just now was Chi Guoguo's ignorance!Although the fact is indeed the case, but he is not happy!
Why are you ignoring me?

In terms of fame and knowledge, which onion do you count?

Just because you wrote a few poems because of your luck, and because your Majesty favored you to become a high-ranking official, you dare to ignore me?
The Jingzhao Mansion was established, and the Guanlong Group tried their best to recruit people. They wanted to use Fang Jun to steal the power of the Jingzhao Mansion.The ideal is good, but the reality is too cruel. Fang Jun's unreasonable actions severely suppressed several young handsome men who were promoted by the Guanlong Group in one fell swoop, which made Linghu Defen feel as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly in his heart!
How can such a simple and crude method convince people?
"Although you have a reckless temperament, you are a gifted poet and you can be regarded as an incomparable genius. You should enjoy a high reputation among scholars and leave a place in the history. But why are you willing to degenerate and follow others? In Jingzhao Mansion It is really disappointing that there is a struggle for power and a disregard for justice."

Linghu Defen sneered.

Fang Jun turned around, looked at the proud and upright Linghu Defen lightly, and asked, "Is Shangshu Linghu talking to me?"

Linghu Defen said: "Exactly. Could it be that what the old man said is wrong?"

Fang Jun smiled and said: "Not to mention whether what you said is right or not, it's just that your official position is not as high as mine, your title is not as high as mine, and there is no word of honor between your words. Am I unworthy, or is it that the imperial court's official position and title can ignore the superiority and inferiority, or is it because you are old and rely on the old to sell the old?"

Linghu Defen's old face instantly turned red!

This bastard's mouth is too poisonous, how can I answer these words?
Blaming His Majesty for favoring Fang Jun?Of course not!His Majesty Li Er is currently suppressing the Guanlong Group with all his strength. Once he is caught by the emperor and becomes a target, what good will he do?The imperial court only has laws and regulations, and the officialdom has its own rules. Naturally, high and low positions must be respected and ordered.

Linghu Defen's old face was bloodshot, and he quibbled: "The old man is talking about justice and evil. This is a battle of the great way. What does it have to do with official position, title, and age?"

Although everyone looked on coldly, they all despised him in their hearts.

Old and treacherous!

Did you just say justice and evil?It is clearly to accuse Fang Jun of doing things against you, Guanlong Group, okay?

Actually changed the concept secretly!

Fang Jun was not annoyed, he still smiled and said: "A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, a villain is a metaphor for profit, your responsibilities, I disregard justice, but why do I hear your every word is all about profit? I want to Excuse me, are you a gentleman or a villain?"

Without waiting for the blushing Linghu Defen to answer, Fang Jun continued: "Your Excellency is also a veteran of the three dynasties and a famous Confucianist. Could it be that your vision is so short-sighted? In your opinion, what I do is a dispute for self-interest? You are wrong! What do you mean? Justice? The voice of the people is justice, the Son of Heaven is justice, and the benefit of all people is justice! A certain Fang Jun is fighting for justice! And all those who stand in opposition to justice are evil, including you, an old man! I have done a thing that is beneficial to the people, but can I do a thing that is beneficial to the country? It is a poor book, which is full of knowledge when it sounds good, but it is useless if it is bad! You tell me justice? Then I will teach Teach you what justice is!"

Pointing to his own face, he said solemnly: "I am more handsome than you!" Then he raised his official robe and pointed to his long legs: "I have longer legs than you!"

"So, this official is justice!"

Handsome is justice!
Long legs are justice!

no problem...
