Early the next morning, Fang Jun dressed neatly and rode to the Ministry of Personnel to go through the official transfer procedures.
Fang Jun was the emperor's son-in-law, and he was also the predecessor of Jing Zhaoyin. There was no equality between officials like the chief minister, so the person responsible for receiving Fang Jun was Su Xu, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Su Xu's grandfather was Su Wei, the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty. After a famous family, he married Princess Nanchang, the daughter of his ancestor Li Yuan, who was a serious royal relative. Not only that, this man was one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace with the official position of consultation and signing. He and Fang Xuanling jointly assisted His Majesty Li Er, so he had profound qualifications.
Su Xu is the youngest among the eighteen bachelors. He is still in his late fifties. He is thin and elegant in appearance. His three strands of long beard are neatly trimmed. He is very handsome and handsome.
Fang Jun was brought into the check-in room by the clerk. Su Xu stood up from behind the desk with a warm smile. He came forward to hold Fang Jun's arm cordially and said with a smile: "I went to the house to congratulate him the day before yesterday. It's a pity that there were too many people." It's a pity that I can have a drink with Erlang. When I have time in the future, I will invite Erlang to a banquet so that we can get closer and closer, but don't postpone it."
Fang Jun hurriedly said: "My uncle is joking. I can win your favor. I can't help but be happy. How can I dare to postpone it? As an elder, you really don't have to entertain it yourself. You only need to send a scribe."
Although he was in the official office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Su Xu kept talking about old times, and Fang Jun was naturally not suitable for his official position. After a few polite words, the relationship between them became much closer. Su Xu's family was weak and not keen on fighting for power. Otherwise, he would not be able to serve as a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs with his qualifications of eighteen bachelors. There would be no conflict of interest with Fang Jun.
This person has an elegant temperament and is indifferent to fame and wealth. Although he is a bit older, he is a person who can be friends with.
Su Xu chuckled and pointedly said: "Erlang is a promising young man and his reputation is growing day by day. Which of the idle clerks in the bureau's yamen is qualified to handle the procedures for you? That is to say, a man with such a thick skin, relying on his infatuation, How old I am to reluctantly come forward to entertain you, but I’m not afraid of making you unhappy.”
Fang Jun thought for a moment and then understood the meaning of Su Xu's words...
Our reputation for relationships is pretty bad. From Jingzhao Yinqian to the Minister of War, he was downgraded several levels. For fear that he would take out his anger on others due to his unhappy mood, no one from the staff was willing to come out to entertain him...
However, it is more likely that someone wanted to deliberately embarrass him, but was secretly stopped by Su Xu, who wanted to sell him a favor.
You know, the current Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is Gao Shilian, and his younger brother Gao Jifu is also the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Judging from what Xianyu said in the house, the Gao family is obviously standing on the opposite side of themselves and trying their best to suppress and demote themselves...
Fang Jun smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "So, thank you uncle for your love and care."
Su Xu laughed. It was a pleasure to get along with smart people. You only need to make a little effort to know that you still have unfinished ideas. It is really refreshing.
He had no intention of defending Fang Jun or targeting the brothers of the Gao family, but he had been too angry with the two brothers in the official office for many years, so he could help himself by filling in the gaps for them when they were in the scene. Feeling relaxed and happy...
Fang Jun was secretly annoyed after hearing this, and kept the Gao family in his heart.
The procedures for official transfer were complicated, but although Su Xu was often suppressed in the official office, given his position and qualifications, he was naturally convinced that the clerks could run around and get things done, and there were not many constraints or difficulties.
Fang Jun and Su Xu drank a cup of hot tea and chatted for a while, and then the formalities were completed.
Su Xu said: "The official residence, official seal and other things will be sent to the house later. Now that I have nothing to do, why don't I have my officer accompany you when you take up the post of the Ministry of War? We can find a place to have a drink together later."
Although they didn't chat for a few words, he had gained some insight into Fang Jun's erudition. He had a good mind, a well-read knowledge and a strong memory, and occasionally had a witty saying, which made him very fond of him and he really wanted to make friends with him. Fan.
Fang Jun was naturally obedient, so he thanked him first, and then the two of them went out together and walked to the Ministry of War Yamen not far away.
*****
In the duty room of Gao Shilian, the Minister of Civil Affairs, the Gao brothers sat opposite each other.
The atmosphere is not harmonious...
Gao Shilian not only served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but also held the position of Youpu She. Although the position of Youpu She was under Fang Xuanling's Zuo Pushe, there were not many things in the Shangshu Province that needed him to decide, but after all, it was One of the prime ministers and assistants has a high and powerful position, and he has his word in the official office. Who dares to disobey him?
But there is this clan brother in front of him. From time to time, relying on the relationship between the same clan and the same clan, he thinks that he will not punish him in any way and fill his own problems...
"Brother, why did you stop me just now? That Fang Jun has always been arrogant, and he even seriously injured Shiro. Today, when he arrived at the official office, he should be humiliated. Otherwise, others would think that our Gao family was being bullied but did not dare to fight back. Generations?"
Gao Jifu was dissatisfied and said angrily.
Gao Shilian held the teacup in his hand, leaned back on the chair, with his eyelids drooping, and said slowly: "In your opinion, this official yamen is the yamen of my Gao family. You can do whatever you want. No one can control you?"
The tone was not serious, but Gao Jifu was startled and said quickly: "How could I have such intention, little brother? I'm just unhappy with Fang Jun's arrogance and want to teach him a lesson. In the past, he served as Jing Zhaoyin, and the entire Chang'an City was Under his jurisdiction, he still has the capital to be somewhat arrogant. But now he is just a minister of the Ministry of War, so what’s the point? Even if he succeeds Li Ji and becomes the Minister of the Ministry of War in the future, what can he do to my Gao family if he has a different path in civil and military affairs? "
Gao Shilian's old face showed no emotion or anger. He put the tea cup in his hand on the table, tapped the table top with his fingers, and said word by word: "Remember from now on, don't open your mouth and keep silent about how the Gao family is. You are just a Gao family." Our family is just a remote branch of the family. If someone hadn't promoted you, how could He De have been able to hold the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? You can't represent the Gao family, let alone tie the Gao family to you as your promotion. chips."
The old man was very angry!
Since the last time he played with the prince's father-in-law Su Dan, Gao Shilian was full of anger at Gao Jifu's actions. What's going on in this guy's head? That's the prince's father-in-law. You teased Su Dan and damaged the royal family's face. If His Majesty hadn't seen me for this old face, do you think you would have ended up in a good position?
Now I want to take the opportunity to take revenge on Fang Jun...
This is so stupid!
It would be fine if Gao Jifu was really ruthless and ruthless and put Fang Jun into a situation of no return. After all, he was considered a figure. But humiliating Fang Jun like this, apart from successfully arousing Fang Jun's hatred, what benefit did he have?
Gao Jifu's face turned blue and white. He had worked tirelessly beside Gao Shilian for so many years, but he never thought that he had such no status in Gao Shilian's heart. It turned out that everything he had was charity from others. Since then, I have never regarded myself as a member of the Gao family...
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Gao Jifu stood up with a worried look on his face and said repeatedly: "Brother, don't blame me, it's my younger brother who was reckless! But although my younger brother made mistakes, he always wanted to benefit the Gao family from the beginning to the end, and he never had the slightest intention of doing so. You are just trying to eat everything! I owe everything to my elder brother’s support for what I have achieved today. Even until the day I die, I must follow my elder brother’s lead and never change my mind!”
Gao Shilian snorted lightly, without commenting on Gao Jifu's words, and raised his hand slightly: "In the future, you must think more carefully about your actions, and don't go astray, otherwise you will regret it. Okay, go out, I still have official business to deal with. .”
"Here."
Gao Jifu responded quickly and left the check-in room in fear...
*****
Fang Jun and Su Xu walked side by side, followed by several servants and scribes.
The imperial city is neatly planned, with horizontal and vertical buildings. Most of the central government offices of the empire are located in this area.
The two chatted casually, and Su Xu pointed to various government offices on the street and said: "Throughout the ages, when it comes to the scale of the city and the excellence of its planning, no one can compare to Chang'an."
Fang Jun was convinced.
Throughout the ages, people who build buildings have always believed in Feng Shui.
The theory of Feng Shui is actually contrary to science, and is vague and unfounded. However, it has been passed down for thousands of years, but no one can deny that it explores the mysteries of heaven and earth. Therefore, even in later generations when science is prosperous, even if there is a generation of heroes and scientific giants, they cannot deny all of them. They would rather believe that they exist than not believe that they do not exist.
In ancient times when natural science was ignorant, the art of Feng Shui was naturally regarded as Guigao.
At the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, Yu Wenkai, then minister of the Ministry of Industry, built the capital city on the order of Emperor Wen Yang Jian. He combined his ancient and modern architectural techniques with Feng Shui techniques to build the eternally famous Daxing City, which was Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. The former city.
