high official

Chapter 384
It's time for Fang Bin and Fang Shangshu to catch up. In the Hongwu Dynasty when everything was possible, he was directly recruited by the Taizu student to try out the doctor of the military department...Because of the three Hongwu cases, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was brutally destroyed by the Taizu regiment several times.As a result of the empty court, many Tai students and officials suddenly became famous, Fang Shangshu is an example.His first step into an official career was as a department-level cadre. Although he was a trainee, he soon became a regular because of his good performance.

Wang Xiancai has been in the industry for a few years, and he has been promoted to the fifth rank of Qianhu. He feels that he has risen rapidly, but compared with Fang Shangshu, it is nothing worth mentioning.

Fang Shangshu had a high starting point and made rapid progress. In the first year of Jianwen, he became the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture. However, he was exiled to Guangdong because of a crime. Fortunately, he was rescued by his fellow villagers and was quickly recalled to the post.In the next year, when he entered the capital, he and Liu Jun, the servant, were attached to him, and he was appointed as the servant of the Ministry of War.Afterwards, he acted as an agent for the Ministry of War for several years, but his reputation was not very good. I heard that he was good at taking care of himself, and he was quite spoiled and greedy. He was jointly impeached by several big shots.However, he was very vigilant, and when he saw something bad, he wanted to temporarily avoid the limelight.Just when the imperial court was set up in the Six Departments, and no one wanted to go north, Zhu Di was overjoyed, and couldn't help suppressing the impeachment, and promoted him to the second grade minister, entrusting him with all the current personnel power.

After keeping a low profile in Beijing for a few years, Fang Shangshu now returns to the Ministry of War, and he can be regarded as a member of the Home Returning Corps. He quickly calmed down the scene and made people forget Jin Shangshu who was about to die of illness.However, after several ups and downs, he has long been introverted, and there is no trace of complacency on that well-maintained face.

After Chai Che led Wang Xian to visit the hall, Fang Shangshu spoke, and when he opened his mouth, he spoke Hangzhou dialect again, "Get up quickly, you are welcome here."

Seeing Wang Xian's slightly surprised expression, Chai Che smiled and said, "Mofei, you don't know that Master Butang is also from Qiantang, Hangzhou?"

Wang Xian suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the attitude of the Ministry of War towards him changed suddenly. It turned out that this place has been occupied by Hangzhou people.Can't help but look surprised and said: "It's really incredible."

"Yeah, what a coincidence, all of us came from Hangzhou." The dignified lord, of course, would not get up to greet Wang Xian, but the kind smile on his face was enough to make people feel "like a spring breeze". "Sit down, my uncle greets Zhongde for me."

After sitting down, Fang Shangshu cared about Wang Xian's recent situation and said with a smile: "Zhongde, you saved Zhou Jietai righteously, saved a good official for us Zhejiang people, and saved the folks from Jinyiwei. On behalf of the elders in my hometown Thank you!"

"The minister's words are serious. Those are also the relatives of the subordinates." Wang Xian hurriedly got up and said.

"Take a seat, that's a good point. People can't forget their roots." Fang Shangshu's voice was soft, full of the kindness of a big man: "Zhongde will have a bright future in the future, and he must always take his hometown elders into his heart like today."

"Follow the instruction." Wang Xiangong said in a low voice, but he thought in his heart, this Fang Shangshu is not pure, and every mouthful of fellow villagers seems to be implying that I join the gang, but why are you in such a hurry?Of course, people are just hinting, as long as you know what you have in mind, there is no need to be too active.

Fang Shangshu looked at Chai Road: "I heard that Zhongde was on the list of senior high school a few days ago?"

"Yes." Chai Che said with a smile, "We were still regretting it just now."

"What is there to regret? It is the ambition of a man to invest in the army." Fang Shangshu said from a high position: "In the future, Zhongde will command the three armies, open up the territory for the Ming Dynasty, and leave a name in history. It is no better than mediocre people like you and me. much?"

"The lesson from the Ministry is," Chai Che hurriedly said with a smile, "I wanted to go wrong."

"Besides, Zhong De is a famous scholar, and now he is going to be an imperial envoy again. It's unknown whether he will be a general or a minister in the future. He will be more promising than us, that's for sure." Fang Shangshu laughed.

"The ministry is going to flatter and kill me," Wang Xian said with a wry smile, "Whether I can come back from Shanxi alive or not is still unknown." No matter how many beautiful words, what's the use?The two of you have to come up with some dry goods before you can justify it.

"Hey, Shanxi..." Fang Shangshu gradually revealed a solemn expression on his face, "It is indeed a dangerous place."

"Are you asking the department hall for advice?" Wang Xian said.

"I haven't been to Shanxi either, so I can't talk about giving advice." Fang Shangshu pondered: "But after all, the old man still knows something inside. After you go, you must be careful of the new Jinwang Highness, this person is terrible... "

"how?"

"The place in Shanxi," Fang Shangshu thought about it, and said slowly, "it's different from Zhejiang."

"It's a great fortune that we don't have any vassal kings in Zhejiang." Chai Che explained: "And Shanxi is the fiefdom of the King of Jin. The Taizu enfeoffed the princes in the border areas, and wanted to use the vassal kings to screen the center, so the princes on the side of the town organized an army Wu, holds the military power. The late old king of Jin is the third elder brother of today. He has been ordered to send troops out of the fortress, build cities and farmland several times. Generals such as Song Guogong Feng Sheng and Ying Guogong Fu Youde are under his restraint." After a pause, he said: "Now Although Jinshang withdrew its right to control border towns and forbade the vassal kings to interfere in local military affairs, they still retained the vassal state's army. In addition, the Jin vassals flourished and small kingdoms spread all over Shanxi, and now the Shanxi military is all veterans. King Jin's subordinates..." Having said this, it was a little inappropriate to continue, he sighed and said: "In short, Shanxi is still under King Jin's world, and the current King Jin has brought down the former King Jin who was friendly with the crown prince. Yes, he cannot succeed without the help of King Han and King Zhao."

"So that's the case." Wang Xian nodded, expressing his understanding. Zhu Zhanji must have known these things better than the civil servants, so he had already told him.But if someone can remind him, then he is regarded as one of his own. Naturally, Wang Xian couldn't help but be grateful and said: "It seems that the trip to Shanxi is more dangerous than I imagined! Thank you Butang and Quan Cao for reminding me!"

"What is this..." Fang Shangshu waved his hand and said, "Our fellow villagers have a friendship to help each other. Those of us who are in the past will naturally try our best to help you tide over the difficulties."

This is the rhythm of sending charcoal in the snow!At that moment, Wang Xian was really moved.

Fang Shangshu didn't just talk about it, he said to Chai Dao, "Take Zhongde's yellow stickers."

The firewood cart was delivered in a hurry. After Fang Shangshu was unfolded, he picked up a pen and filled in "Young Army Military Division" on the "Return to the Army" and "Cong Cong Mobei" on the "Zhengke Place", and it was empty. In the column of "Number of kills", slowly fill in the word "Save the grandson" on the "Rewards".

Chai Che was surprised. Every word on the sticker must be well documented. Fang Shang wrote these four words, which represented the official recognition that Zhu Zhanji had been in danger at Jiulongkou.

As if knowing what he was thinking, Fang Shangshu said indifferently: "How can the emperor do that kind of deceitful thing? Not allowing it to be spoken publicly does not mean not admitting it. The official historian will still record Zhongde's credit."

Ordinarily at this time, Wang Xian should have burst into tears of gratitude and kowtowed to the north, but he just smiled lightly and didn't respond any more.This made the two of them murmur in their hearts, doesn't this kid know that with these four words, he can keep his glory for the rest of his life?Of course, the premise is that the prince can successfully take over the throne.I really don't understand what he is thinking.

After the small episode, Fang Shangshu wrote "Zheng Wupin Qianhu" on "Promotion to Service" and "Jinyiwei" on "Tiao Guard Office". The matter of the Ministry of War.After closing the yellow book, Fang Shangshu took another "Selected Book of Jinyiwei", turned to the page of thousands of households, filled in Wang Xian's name, signed his own name at the bottom, and then put down his pen and said: "Ministry of the Ministry of War This is the end of the procedure, but this old man can't help you, the Jinyiwei Thousand Households, get the real shortage of the Fourteen Thousand Households."

"I know that." Wang Xian nodded, not to mention the emperor's personal army like Jin Yiwei, it is the general guard army, and the specific use of officers is not up to the Ministry of War.
"In addition, you are a low-level official with a thousand households. This is the case when you are first conferred. After two years, you will naturally be transferred to a world official. In this way, your descendants will not be disgraced in the future, and you will not lose your family." Fang Shangshu said generously.

"Thanks to the Ministry." Wang Xian was concerned about another matter, "I still have something to trouble the Ministry."

"But it doesn't matter."

"I don't know when my background as an imperial guard will be settled?" Wang Xian asked.

"With the old man and uncle here, why do you still have to worry about this?" Fang Shangshu said with a smile.

"It's been done." Chai Che nodded and said: "This is a matter of the former Jin Shangshu's request and the emperor's permission. The Lord of the Ministry originally followed suit, but for the sake of your brother, the Lord of the Ministry sent all your guards Hanging on Jinyiwei." He said with a smile: "That's why the ministry said just now that he can't help you get the real shortage of 15 households. No.[-] Thousand Households!"

According to the regulations, Jinyiwei has 15 thousand households under its jurisdiction, that is to say, there are [-] people who are actually missing thousands of households. As for Wang Xian, there are too many thousands of households in name only... Many children of meritorious officials are born. Those who were enshrined as Jinyiwei with hundreds of households and thousands of households are actually just the emperor giving preferential treatment to meritorious officials and rewarding their children to eat imperial food.Chai Che said that Fang Shangshu was able to help Wang Xian build No. [-] thousand households, which is an exaggeration, but the fact that Fang Shangshu organized Wang Xian's guards into Jinyiwei, resulting in more than a thousand Jinyiwei under his command, is still possible of.

It's just that Wang Xian is a little hard to understand now, this is going to offend Ji Gang!He and Fang Shangshu have never met in life, is it just because he is from the same town, that he is trying his best to help him?

Wang Xian originally wanted to make some money by shaming his face, but it was difficult for him to open his mouth when he treated him so heartily, so he had to thank him sincerely, and left contentedly.

The chaiche sent him out, turned back and said with a smile: "The department hall sells so much favors, this kid is afraid that he will never be able to pay for it in his whole life."

"Hehe..." Fang Bin had a wry smile on his face and said, "I'd rather not sell his favor! But who made me owe the old monk a favor? The old monk eats people but doesn't spit out his bones. Who would dare to follow him?" Is he playing sloppy?"
