Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 180
The Yamen of the Ministry of Industry is located in the imperial city inside the Zhuquemen. Fang Jun took a carriage to Yanximen and got off, and walked into the city gate. At the foot is Chengtianmen Street, on the right is the Imperial Palace, and on the left is Shangshusheng, Menxia Province, Dali Temple, Qianniuwei, Liubu, etc. Yamen.

At the entrance of the yamen, as soon as he lifted his foot and walked inside, there was a doorman shouting: "Alas! Who is that, what is that?"

Fang Jun touched his nose, how come there are so many difficult little devils at the entrance of the yamen throughout the ages?

Then he said impatiently: "Someone is here to report!"

The doorman was stunned for a moment, the face of the dead fish just now was thawed like a spring breeze, and he smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"But Fang Erlang face to face?"

The fact that Fang Jun was named Xinfeng | County Marquis by His Majesty's decree, and also referred to as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has long been spread in the court, so how could the government of the Ministry of Industry not know it?Although this guy doesn't know Fang Jun, but he is so young and looks extravagant, how could he be someone else?
It's not that Fang Jun has never been an official, knowing that if he talks too much at this time, he will definitely be flattered by this kind of person.

That man said in his heart that the official prestige is quite strong...

But Fang Jun is a proper star in Chang'an City. He is notorious for being short-tempered. Who dares to provoke him?What's more, the family not only has a prime minister father, but also the future emperor-in-law of His Majesty, and his future is limitless.

The door is no nonsense, and he leads the way, passing through the gatehouse and bypassing a screen wall, which is the Yamen courtyard.

Menzi led Fang Jun to the main hall of the yamen, and whispered, "Erlang, wait a moment, someone will go in and pass the message for you!"

This is how to be human!
Fang Jun was very satisfied, he took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into his hand.

After weighing the door, there are several taels, Fang Erlang is indeed a big spender!Immediately with a smile on his face, he ran in with the wind on his feet.

After a while, he turned around and said in a low voice, "Lord Shang Shu has a request, be careful Servant Lu Zesong, he is talking ill of you..."

After saying that, he said goodbye and left.

Who is Lu Zesong?Fang Jun frowned and thought for a while, and realized that he was a little negligent, and he should have inquired about the inside story of the Ministry of Engineering.Although I'm not too keen on being an official now, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I was excluded?
But this is the end of the matter, it is useless to think about it, let's talk about it later.

After tidying up his robes, he walked into the main hall of the yamen with his head held high.

*********
The main hall of the Gongbu Yamen is not spacious, but it is equivalent to a small conference room, but the decoration is extremely elegant.

The floor is covered with thick woolen carpets, the lobby is carved with beams and painted buildings, red sandalwood shelves, huanghuali table tops, marble screens, and even a jade tray in front of the north wall, on which is a large stone, carved with red seal characters. "Taishan stone dare to be"...

The whole Tang Dynasty is elegant and luxurious, and every utensil is absolutely fine, but it is relieved to think about it. Isn't the most direct function of the Ministry of Works to build houses and repair palaces?Since the palace can be repaired, it doesn't make sense to have a bad office location.

Sitting on the main seat is an old man over sixty years old, wearing a three-beam Jinxian crown on his head, wearing a purple round-necked satin robe with a collar, sleeves, and a fringe, and a hem of the shirt near the knee.

His men were all white, and he sat there smiling, but his majesty remained undiminished.

Look at other people's purple robes, and then look at the crimson official robes that look like the groom's official, wondering if he has also risen to half a level and changed his outfit...

The Tang official system, above the third rank, wears purple robes. Fang Jun, the marquis, is from the third rank, so he can only wear the crimson official robe, but it is only half a rank worse. If you work hard, you should be able to do it, right?

Of course, the crimson color is also stronger than the sixth-grade green, and that guy looks like a grasshopper when he puts it on...

Sitting next to the old man in purple robe was also an old man, but he looked younger, with a gray beard, but his face was densely wrinkled and looked like a chrysanthemum.

Fang Jun bowed respectfully to the purple-robed old man: "Fang Jun, the humble servant, see Lord Shang Shu."

The purple-robed old man laughed: "Yes, it seems that you have worked hard. The old man thought you were called Uncle when you opened your mouth."

Fang Jun smiled naively: "Public and private are clear, this is what my father always teaches."

Few leaders are willing to be called by their uncles and uncles in the unit, otherwise, no matter how they do things, they will inevitably give people the illusion of injustice.

The one in front of him is Tang Jian, Minister of Industry.

This Tang Jian's reputation may not be as good as "Fangmou Du Duan", not as loud as Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiongwei, Chi Jingde and others, but he is definitely the number one person!
Just like many famous officials in the early Tang Dynasty, this one also has a family background that is not good enough...

Grandfather Tang Yong was a minister of Northern Qi, and his father Tang Jian and Tang Gaozu Li Yuan were family friends. More importantly, Tang Jian directly participated in Li Yuan's attack in Taiyuan, and his roots were right Miaohong!

In the early years of Zhenguan, the imperial court sent Tang Jian as an envoy to say that the Turks should be surrendered, and Li Jing was sent to march.Li Jing made a surprise attack on the Turks, captured Jieli Khan alive, and Tang Jian made another great contribution!
Although this person did not worship the prime minister, his experience is absolutely legendary. He has successively served as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and now the minister of the Ministry of Industry...

I am afraid that he is the only one in history who has served as three or six ministers successively?

And this person has always had a good relationship with Xuanling.

For a time, Shangguan's subordinates were happy.

But some people are not satisfied.

The old chrysanthemum sitting next to Tang Jian snorted coldly, squinted Fang Jun, and said with disdain: "Even if you are an official, you must follow the court's laws and solve problems for your majesty. Then I contacted Yiyi, whose heart is not right, and whose skills are not clear, what virtue and what ability, dare to steal the position of the servant?"

Fang Jun understood, the feeling is that he is a high-ranking servant at a young age, and his heart is unbalanced...

In the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Industry generally had one minister and one servant.There are four divisions, namely, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Tuntian, the Ministry of Yu, and the Ministry of Water, and there is one person in each of them.

Of course, since it is a general case, there must be special cases.

What is a special case?

It is His Majesty or the ministers of the political affairs hall who directly put people in. They belong to non-staff officials. In later generations, there is a very appropriate word for this situation - airborne...

For such airborne officials, no matter ancient or modern, they are extremely unpopular.

Thinking about it, everyone is working hard in accordance with performance appraisal and age qualifications within the framework, and gradually rises up step by step. The future is blocked, and it is strange that people like it.

The chrysanthemum old man in front of him didn't give himself a good face when he met him, and he was probably also very unhappy with his "airborne soldier".

But you're okay, it's disgusting to me, that's why you're wrong...

Fang Jun smiled: "Dare to ask who this is..."

The old chrysanthemum said coldly: "The Minister of Works, Lu Zesong."

It was this guy who spoke ill of me...

Fang Jun smiled very simple and honest, and said politely: "Lv Shilang, Fang reserves the right to report you to His Majesty about your deceitful deception, your complaints against His Majesty, and your complaints against the Tang Dynasty..."

What's all this mess?

Lu Zesong was at a loss when he heard it. He had never heard of any reservation of rights, but the first two sentences were clearly audible, and he immediately said angrily, "Fang Jun!

Fang Jun looked at him without a smile, and said slowly: "You say that my heart is not right and my skills are not clear, isn't it clearly implying that Your Majesty uses a private person? This is your complaint to His Majesty! You say me He De He Neng, dare to steal the position of the Servant? Isn't this saying that His Majesty is ignorant and old-fashioned? This is bullying the king! You said that I contacted the privateers as soon as I entered the officialdom, isn't it against the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty? Are you dissatisfied with the status quo, so you have complaints? Or... do you want someone who dares to change the sun and the moon for the sky and make a complete change?"

Lu Zesong's face turned pale!Who is this person, this mouth is sharper than a knife, and it turns to put a bucket of shit on people's heads?

The chrysanthemum pattern on his face seemed to be flat. Suddenly he got up and said angrily with his halberd finger: "Fang Jun, how dare you spit blood?"

Fang Jun snorted slightly, his combat power is not very good...

He said casually: "The most annoying thing is that others point at me. The last time was the second son of the Duke Yun family... Lu Shilang, do you want to learn?"

　I feel like I haven't asked for a ticket for a long time...
