Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2201 Poor character, excellent ability

As soon as Xu Jingzong left, Xin and Wang hurriedly asked, "Erlang, are you kidding me?"

Fang Jun stared: "Do you think I'm joking?"

Xin Maojiang smiled wryly: "I hope Erlang is joking..."

What is this called?In a daze, the marriage was settled.

It's not impossible, the two of them have always admired Fang Jun, and have long been determined to follow Fang Jun in a career, this is their biggest backer in the court in the future.

It stands to reason that you shouldn't make too much noise about a mere marriage. At most, you should go back and inform your parents at home. If your parents have any ideas, you need to communicate separately. After all, this is what should be done.

What's more, what is Fang Jun's status?
To propose marriage to you personally is to think highly of you. I don’t know how many young people in the world can’t ask for such an honor...

The problem is that Xu Jingzong's conduct is bad, and his reputation is extremely bad. After finding such an old father-in-law, how can he stand up straight in the future?

Fang Jun looked at the two of them and said, "Did you feel conflicted because of Xu Jingzong's bad reputation and bad reputation?"

The two were silent.

After all, Wang Xuance is more considerate than Xin Maojiang. Over the years, he has come to today step by step. From a small city gate official to a powerful figure in the overseas trade of "Eastern Datang Company", he has been supported by Fang Jun all the way. He knows how to be grateful .

Besides, he is also a smart person, knowing that he has already become a "private" in Fang Jun's trap, with Fang Jun's temperament of protecting the calf, how could he deceive his own people?

Therefore, Xin Mao's mood will be much more relaxed than that of Xin Mao.

Fang Jun continued: "You only look at Xu Jingzong's bad reputation, but have you ever thought about this person's strong qualifications and outstanding ability? The promotion of officials in the court and the central government has its own rules, and no one can meddle indiscriminately and break the rules. Daddy It’s understandable that you guys can support your own people, but at a certain level, even if the emperor wants to support you, you have to be tough enough yourself. What does it mean to be 'hard enough'? Talented, capable, backgrounded, possessed These, you are 'tough enough'! Someone can guide you all the way into the officialdom, and even hold the real power, but if you want to rise to the top of the court, you can even stand in the court every time, but it is not a certain ability. Do it, at this time, a powerful Yue family is your foundation."

"Relationship" has always been the most solid foundation of the Chinese human society.

Every realm has its own set of rules, and no one wants to deviate from the rules, or even disrupt the rules with one hand.When you reach a certain height, you can’t push up if anyone wants to push you. You need to be hard to make a blacksmith.

Xu Jingzong may have a bad reputation, but Fang Jun admires one of his strengths, that is, "standing in line".

This person roamed the officialdom all his life. Although he experienced ups and downs several times, he never made an essential mistake in standing in line.

Who knew that "once the emperor and one courtier", the ups and downs of the officialdom are never based on the so-called ability and talent, but on "standing in line"!
If you follow the right person, you will be able to make steady progress all the way to the top, get promoted, get promoted, get rich, and ascend to heaven.

With the wrong person, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you will lose your official career and go to the wild, or even go to jail and harm your descendants...

Above the officialdom, it is so cruel.

However, Xu Jingzong, a recognized "bad guy", was able to participate in the writing of "Wu De Shi Lu" and "Zhen Guan Shi Lu" when His Majesty Li Er was in power. To share a piece of the pie and keep a name, not to mention that His Majesty Li Er established Jin Wang Li Zhi as the crown prince, and then appointed Xu Jingzong as the crown prince's right concubine to assist the crown prince?

In the Gaozong Dynasty, Xu Jingzong was even more remarkable.

Gaozong wanted to abolish the king and queen, but all the ministers of the court opposed it. Xu Jingzong said: "The farmer received ten more dendrobium wheat, so he wanted to change his wife. What's more, after the emperor wants to be established, this has nothing to do with others. Why bother?" How about more discussion?" Unswervingly stood on the side of Gaozong and Wu Meiniang.

The rewards that followed were naturally incomparably rich, and in the end, he ruled the world and became an extremely powerful minister. No one in the dynasty could compare with him in the respect and treatment he received.

Such a person, you can despise his character, but you cannot ignore his ability.

Besides, Xu Jingzong has a "notorious reputation", but what "evil things" has he done?In fact, there are not many piles in total.The most serious thing is "distorting history books", but ask yourself, how few people have tampered with history books in the past dynasties?History books are written by human beings, so it is inevitable that praise and criticism will be deleted. Even "Historical Records" cannot guarantee absolute fairness and justice, let alone others?

Furthermore, it is the far-fetched crime of "abandoning the eldest son in the wilderness, marrying a young girl in Yiluo, learning about poetry and learning rituals, and never going to court.

It can be said that Xu Jingzong is a man of great ability and foresight. He is a well-rounded leader and a political crocodile.

Such a person becoming a father-in-law is extremely beneficial to the development of General Xin Mao and Wang Xuance. According to the original trajectory, these two people will eventually be able to govern one side. Now that they have such a relative, it is very likely that they will go one step further and become a prime minister.

And the most important point...

"Xu and Xu's sister grew up together since they were young, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. These two sisters are not at all as dirty and mean as their father. They come from a scholarly family with a gentle and virtuous disposition, knowledgeable and courteous, and they can be a good match."

Fang Jun said seriously.

This is the most important thing. For him, it is impossible for him to marry a "shrew" and go home for the sake of his friend's future. The official career is prosperous, but the house is in trouble. "Matchmakers" are harmful.

And I know these two friends very well, they are both good men with broad minds and excellent abilities. The Xu sisters married, at least the rest of their lives will be stable and happy, so they won't be "accepted by Xu Jingzong and asked about their names, but they will only hear about them." ", reduced to a general sale of goods...

The two are suitable, why not do it?

Only then did Xin and Wang feel relieved, and they stood up together to salute, saying: "Thank you Erlang for your care, I will be grateful to both of us!"

Fang Jun sat with a golden knife, and with his current status and status, he was enough to accept this gift, and said with a smile: "My brother, why bother to see outsiders?"

When the two sat down again, Fang Jun said: "General Mao won the imperial examination. Since he is assigned as an errand in Dali Temple, don't be upset. Tomorrow, someone will introduce you to a friend, Dai Zhide, the son-nephew of the former Qing Xuanyin of Dali Temple. , are all brothers of our own family, and we will get closer in the future. If we have a chance in the future, we will pay a visit to Sun Siqing together."

Xin Mao will hasten to thank him, and he will inevitably sigh in his heart.

In the past, I had a high self-esteem and agitated writing, thinking that the heroes of the world are no more than mediocre, and that there is a place for them to display their talents and learning, and it is easy to get to guide the country and rule the world.It wasn't until after entering Beijing that I realized that it was far from being as simple as I thought. Meritorious relatives, powerful families, and various forces firmly controlled the government. , It is as difficult as reaching the sky to get ahead, let alone achieve something, it is just a dream.

In the imperial examination, I was a Jinshi and became a leader among young people in the Tang Dynasty. However, those descendants from aristocratic families entered the three provinces, six ministries and nine monasteries one after another. Once they entered, they were the reserve talents that various yamen strived to cultivate, but what about me?

Throwed into Dali Temple, became a master of the seventh rank, engaged in unfamiliar criminal cases...

Such encounters once made him discouraged, and even gave birth to the idea of ​​returning to his hometown and not entering an official career.

Later, I had an idea, and remembered that I had a little friendship with Fang Jun. Now that Fang Jun is very popular and famous, maybe I can help myself?
As a result, as soon as he came here, he first picked up a marriage, and then Fang Jun's casual words made him instantly connect with the core of power in Dali Temple.

This is the importance of "relationship"...

General Xin Mao nodded his head again and again, gratefully said: "Thank you Erlang, thank you for your kindness."

Fang Jun laughed, and said to Wang Xuance: "A firm is certainly a place where various powers are intertwined and fighting. Being in it can benefit you from both sides, but if you have aspirations, you should not stay longer. Later, a certain person will transfer you to the Ministry of War to practice for a while. Fan, use it to make great use of it."

Wang Xuance said frankly: "Erlang can do whatever he says, and you will follow the lead of the humble post."

He is much purer than Xin Maojiang, and he was originally drawn up by Fang Jun. Whether he wants to or not, Fang Jun's brand has already been stamped on him.What's more, the Ministry of War is simply Fang Jun's private plot. He arranged for people to enter, whether it is the current left servant of the Ministry of War or all the officials of the Ministry of War, who would dare to show his face?

You must know that the Minister of the Ministry of War is still vacant now, and there have been rumors in the court that if Fang Jun hadn't made a big oolong that "the dragon appeared in the world" this time, the position of Minister of the Ministry of War would have been obtained long ago.

Even so, His Majesty the Emperor just aired Fang Jun out for a while. Even though many people were envious of the post of Minister of Military Affairs, no one had the slightest idea. Everyone knew that it was useless to think too hard, and Fang Jun was none other than Fang Jun...
