Chapter 211: The Inner Court and the Outer Court
Fang Yumei suddenly ran over and said to Chen Yang, "Sister Susu, let's talk about it." β
Chen Yang was slightly surprised.
Her mother and Rao Yuting are best friends, and she and Fang Yumei have met, but because of the age gap, the two have never had a deep friendship, and they say no more than ten sentences together.
But I don't know why the little girl had a whim and wanted to talk to her.
Fang Youmei immediately turned her head to Xiao Fan and said, "Brother Xiao Fan, my dad invites you to come over." β
Chen Yang was stunned.
That's why. Fang Li talked about etiquette, and he didn't want to snub Chen Yang, so he sent his daughter over to act as a "goodwill ambassador" to chat with her.
"Okay."
Xiao Fan smiled and walked away slowly.
Fang Yumei winked at Chen Yang, grinning, with a strange look on her face.
Chen Yang suddenly felt a little weak, avoided the little girl's eyes, and said angrily: "Xiaomei, what do you see?" β
"It's nothing, I'm just guessing, are you already in love with Xiao Fan."
Chen Yang was caught off guard and made a big red face.
Little girl, how old are you this year? Love, love, do you know what aiqing is? Just know the nonsense.
"Sister Susu, you don't love such a powerful man, who do you want to love?"
The little girl is unrelenting, and she has to make inches.
Chen Yang became serious, looked at Fang Yumei, and said, "Xiaomei, aiqing is not what you imagined, not so snobbish. At the end of the day, aiqing is all about feeling. β
Fang Yumei was "reprimanded", but she was not angry, and blinked. "Do you feel that way?" β
Chen Yang bit her lip and remained silent.
The two girls were just talking to each other. No one noticed that Xiao Fan had already followed Fang Li and Rao Yuting into the living room of the villa. The light in the study came on.
"Xiao Fan, sit down, you're welcome."
Rao Yuting greeted with a smile, and went to make tea for the two of them in person.
"Haode, Aunt Xiexie Rao."
Xiao Fan replied with a smile. Waiting for Fang Li to sit down in the sofa, he sat down on the sofa on the side, and the rules were very strict.
Fang Li nodded secretly.
In any case, the tutor of the old Xiao family is still relatively strict, and Xiao Zhan is the second-generation elder of a wealthy family who is known for his strictness.
Fang Li also attaches more importance to the rules. It has to do with his family background and the nature of his work. Fang Li has been in a position to coordinate all parties all these years. The most important thing about the effectiveness of coordination is to see whether the parties being coordinated abide by the rules. If one party is unreasonable, coordination will not go on.
For such a guy who breaks the rules, Fang Li has always been very unwelcome.
But now, Fang Li made a special trip to invite Xiao Fan to the study to talk, naturally not to investigate how the Xiao family's tutor was.
Rao Yuting quickly made tea, gently placed it in front of the two, and then sat down beside Fang Li. smiled and nodded lightly to Xiao Fan, signaling that he didn't have to be nervous.
Fang Li looked at Xiao Fan, his face became serious, and he asked slowly, "Xiao Fan." Have you been secretly paying attention to the overseas situation of the Tai Sang Foundation? β
Xiao Fan smiled.
He knew that if he didn't figure out this problem, Fang Li would definitely not be at ease.
"Uncle Fang. I didn't know about the Tai Sang Fund before, and I had only heard about the bank. Never paid attention. β
It's telling the truth.
Fang Li's eyebrows frowned slightly, obviously not believing the answer given by Xiao Fan.
"Then how do you know. After the U.S. stock market opened, something went wrong with the Dasheng Foundation? β
In the end, Fang Li is worthy of being born in a political and legal family, and he likes to cut in everything from the jishu level.
Xiao Fan said: "Physiognomy." Xu Zhennan's eyebrows were scattered, straight into his sideburns, and the floor pavilion was sharpened, and he was angry. This is the most typical way to break the fortune. Moreover, his seal hall is dark, and the sun and moon horns are dark and looming, which means that his fortune will be quite difficult for a long time in the future. β
Fang Li couldn't help but be stunned.
He also guessed that this matter was not so simple, with Xiao Fan's identity and work, it seemed unlikely that he would pay special attention to the situation of Dasheng Bank and Dasheng Fund, but he never thought that Xiao Fan would say such a thing in front of him.
Physiognomy? Shipping?
For a while, Fang Li really couldn't accept these things.
Rao Yuting's face was very normal.
At first, she thought it was ridiculous, but now, apparently, she doesn't think that way anymore.
"Then you can show me."
After a while, Fang Li said lightly, slightly displeased.
It sounds like Fang Li is going to take Xiao Fan into an army.
Okay, let's talk about physiognomy, then you can take some dry goods out and show me!
See if you can convince me.
Rao Yuting looked at Xiao Fan's gaze, and she showed a little worry. She knew Fang Li's character very well, it was quite stubborn. Don't look at Fang Li's gentle appearance, he is extremely able to make up his mind inside, it is too difficult for ordinary people to convince Fang Li.
What's more, it's still that kind of ethereal thing.
Xiao Fan smiled lightly, carefully examined Fang Li's face, and said slowly: "Uncle Fang, please forgive me, I am afraid it will be difficult to enter the center. It's better to leave Beijing and become a vassal! β
Fang Li was shocked, straightened his waist suddenly, his eyes were shining, and he was firmly staring at Xiao Fan.
Rao Yuting's eyes widened as well.
Xiao Fan's words sounded inexplicable, but Fang Li and Rao Yuting obviously understood what Xiao Fan was referring to.
"What do you mean by that? Who taught you to say that? β
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Fan's mouth, and he said softly: "Uncle Fang, if you have this kind of thought, then our conversation is destined to be very unpleasant, so it's better to stop there." β
The demeanor is humble, but the words are hard and awe-inspiring.
I'm sorry, Director Fang, I'm here to instruct you, not to accept your "interrogation"!
You have a bad attitude, I am impatient to talk to you!
Fang Li was stunned again.
I didn't expect this young man to be very temperamental.
is worthy of being the eldest grandson of the old Xiao family.
If you want to suppress him, I'm afraid I've miscalculated.
Rao Yuting smiled slightly awkwardly and said softly, "Xiao Fan." Uncle Fang didn't mean that. That's his personality, don't be surprised. What are the words. You just say it, it's okay. There are no outsiders here. β
Xiao Fan smiled and nodded. but he spoke no more.
Since Fang Li took the initiative to invite him over to talk, Fang Li had to show his attitude. At this time, Rao Yuting could not represent Fang Li. Fang Li himself did not have a more objective attitude, so the effect of the conversation could only be counterproductive.
This section must not be mistaken.
Xiao Fan is modest and modest, and at the critical moment, he is not ambiguous.
Fang Li took a breath lightly, and his face softened. Xu Xu said: "Okay, Xiao Fan, please continue, I'll listen." β
This meaning is actually "daoqian" to Xiao Fan.
No matter how absurd Xiao Fan's words are, since he took the initiative to invite him to talk, then the etiquette that should be talked about still has to be said, if this guy always talks nonsense, just ignore it in the future.
βhaodeγ Uncle Fang. The current situation in the center is obscure, and the internal opinions are not so unanimous. Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Privy Council has been established by the Inner Court. A bridge between inside and outside. To gain a foothold in the Privy Mansion, the greatest reliance comes from the trust of the Supreme. There are not many examples of privy councils tilting their power inside and outside. Even if there are such exceptions. It is also usually difficult to last. Sang Weihan, who was in the Later Jin Dynasty during the Five Dynasties period, served as a privy envoy and prime minister twice. The end is the death of the body. Wang Jun of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the privy envoy and the same Zhongshu Sect under the Ping Zhangshi. In the end, it was also demoted to Shangzhou, and he ended up depressed. If it weren't for Guo Wei's affection for his old brother, I am afraid he would not have escaped death. β
Xiao Fan is not slow or sick, and he tells the story.
Fang Li's expression became serious again.
He originally thought that Xiao Fan was going to give him a "look", but he miscalculated again. Xiao Fan actually told him about history, and the two examples he gave were both famous ministers in the history of the Five Dynasties.
Especially Sang Weihan, who is a famous traitor through the ages, Shi Jingjiao called the Khitan emperor and ceded the first evil of the sixteen states of Yanyun.
But Fang Li is familiar with history and knows very well that Sang Weihan's own talent is beyond doubt, and he can be regarded as a big man who covers the sky in the Later Jin Dynasty. The privy envoy and the same Zhongshu door under the Pingzhang matter tired of moving the door to the servant, to zuihou to worship the Zhongshu order, reinstated as the privy envoy, the title of Wei Guogong, no matter how big or small, one to entrust. You can't do it without real skills.
The so-called "power leaning inside and outside" in the history books is exactly what it says.
The Privy Council handles the affairs of the inner court, is responsible for important military affairs, is directly responsible to the emperor, and is regarded as the emperor's minister; Zhongshu Province is in charge of foreign court affairs, and Pingzhang is the minister of the world.
Some high-ranking and powerful knots make the observer, and the chapter can avoid the door of the middle book and go directly to the front of the emperor, but in any case, it cannot avoid the privy council, and it must be transferred to the imperial review by the privy envoy.
That's roughly how it works.
The privy envoy and prime minister, that is, the power leans inside and outside, and is not only responsible for the contact between the emperor and the ministers of foreign vassals, but also goes to the government hall to manage the affairs of the government. In the five dynasties, the privy envoy served as the prime minister, which was the sign of becoming the prime minister.
No matter who it is, once it achieves such a status, it is truly "one person under ten thousand people".
It's just that such a power minister usually ends up ugly.
Xiangquan directly threatened the imperial power, and it was only natural that the emperor would be suspicious of him in the end.
Fang Li frowned and said, "The current situation, after all, is different from ancient times. β
Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Uncle Fang, the name of the office has changed, but the essence has not changed much. The inner court organs, the name is not obvious, but it directly talks with the highest level, communicates up and down, contacts inside and outside, and is very authoritative. However, there are pros and cons to everything. Uncle Fang, do you think there is any practical difference between the current Inner Court organs and the previous Privy Council, except that it is not responsible for military affairs? The status is actually the same. The deputy director of the Inner Court Staff, with a high level and great power, has a fatal weakness, that is, it does not have its own execution system, and all power comes from the entrustment at the highest level. Therefore, having the full trust of the top leadership is the foundation of the foothold. If you want to realize your political ideals and aspirations, you can only rely on others. On the other hand, any national ministry has its own independent implementation system, and the policies they formulate can be implemented nationwide as long as they are approved. That's the difference. β
"The lord of the inner court, the factional imprint on his body is too obvious. One is prosperous, and one is lost. β
