"Xiao Fan, you are still very familiar with history."

Fang Li said lightly.

I didn't invite you here to talk to you about history, didn't you talk about physiognomy?

Xiao Fan smiled, glanced at the top of Fang Li's slightly sparse head, and said, "Uncle Fang, your hair is black and shiny, the heavenly court is broad and plump, the sun and moon are full, the mountain roots are full, the ears are thick, and the eyes are bright, this is the appearance of a clear Shangshu." However, there are evil lines in the corners of the eyes, and the lord has recently invaded the palace. This kind of rationality is easy to move and not easy to be still. Staying in Beijing may not be the best choice. ”

Rao Yuting was taken aback and couldn't help asking, "You mean, it's better to go out?" ”

Fang Li glared at his wife.

Why was it brought in all of a sudden?

Xiao Fan ignored Fang Li's eyes and said seriously: "Uncle Fang, you know much more about the situation at the top than me, I don't dare to get an axe." Purely on the basis of reason, I do not think that the Inner Court Office will be the best choice in the short term. ”

“weishenme？”

Xiao Fan said: "Uncle Fang, on a case-by-case basis, the Fang family has a great influence in the political and legal system, if you go to work in the inner court, what you have to coordinate is far from being a matter within the political and legal system." Comprehensive coordination, Director Nei Tingming, I'm afraid there will be some reluctance, right? ”

Fang Li's pupils contracted slightly.

The current director of the General Office of the Inner Court is the first trusted person today, and everything in the Inner Court is decided in one word. Fang Li went to the inner court, and naturally he was Director Ming's deputy.

But Fang Li's identity is far from being comparable to the average deputy director of the inner court. He was born in a wealthy family, and he has an extremely wide range of contacts in Jingshi, and his influence far exceeds his position. For example, in the political and legal system, he is not the main leader. It's just the head of the department, but his opinion, the main leaders have to weigh it carefully.

Such a powerful character, entering the inner court, it is almost impossible not to arouse the vigilance of Director Ming.

Xiao Fan's words are just point-to-point. What kind of person is Fang Li, how can he not understand his true meaning?

When Fang Li went to the inner court, he was immediately faced with two choices: either to become Director Ming's henchman, or to become an opponent!

As it stands. He is more likely to be Director Ming's opponent. Because from the perspective of historical origins, there are many differences between the political faction of Old Man Fang and the political faction of Director Ming. The two sides have not always been very compatible.

If Fang Li tried to get closer to Director Ming, then those other big people who had supported him. I'm afraid I will have to reconsider whether to continue to support Fang Li.

And if you are opposed to Director Ming, the situation is also not easy to do.

After all, Director Ming is the most trusted right-hand man today.

In terms of Fang Li's own position and rank. Deputy ministerial level. It is true that he does not have the strength to wrestle his wrists face-to-face with Director Ming. The director of the Inner Court General Office is far from being comparable to ordinary provincial and ministerial-level cadres.

For example, if a provincial official is transferred to the director of the Inner Court Office, even if the level is not high, in the eyes of outsiders. That's a solid promotion.

But if the deputy in the province is transferred to the deputy director of the Inner Court Office, it is not necessarily a promotion.

The difference between a first hand and a deputy is quite obvious.

Xiao Fan actually only "half-understood" these insiders. Far less clear than Fang Li. But he is proficient in physiognomy, which no one else can match. Purely from the perspective of physiognomy and hexagrams, Xiao Fan thought that Fang Li was not suitable to go to the inner court.

After a while, Fang Li said indifferently: "I went to the Inner Court Office, and I was mainly responsible for contacting the political and legal departments. ”

Xiao Fan smiled and asked, "Then why do you need to move?" ”

Isn't that what you're doing now?

In the political and legal system, you are very familiar with everything, even the main leaders have to consult your opinions, with the old man's residual power, the Fang family will always be the big shili within the political and legal system. Now that he has abandoned his base camp and gone to the inner court alone, he is actually responsible for contacting the political and legal front, which is really a bit redundant.

Fang Li groaned.

There are some things that he can't say too thoroughly to Xiao Fan.

Letting him go to the inner court was actually the proposal of a certain giant, who had a good relationship with Old Man Fang, and hoped that after Fang Li entered the inner court, he would be able to share part of Director Ming's authority.

Strictly speaking, the giant's proposal is also selfish.

Obviously, he wanted to use the influence of the Fang family to counter Director Ming's "dominance" in the Inner Court Office, so as to gradually infiltrate his own will into the Inner Court organs.

But it has to be said that this is the best way for Fang Li to get the full support and trust of this giant.

This is the real reason why Fang Li wants to go to the Inner Court.

After all, Old Man Fang is no longer in his position, and Fang Li will have to rely more on his own efforts in the future. It is not so simple to be able to obtain the blue eyes of a giant.

I don't know how many officialdom figures dream of such an opportunity.

The hesitation in Fang Li's heart, Xiao Fan could understand, paid attention to Fang Li's face, and said slowly: "Uncle Fang, you yourself are extremely noble, and the help of nobles is just the icing on the cake. Although I don't know much about the situation at the top, I think that no matter what time it is, I will speak with strength. As long as you are strong enough, then whoever it is, listen carefully to your opinion, not the other way around. I was at home, and my dad and I talked about something similar. Iron striking also has to be hard. ”

Fang Li was taken aback, looked at him a little puzzled, and asked, "You and Minister Xiao are also talking about this?" ”

This was indeed somewhat unexpected by Fang Li.

I thought that Xiao Fan was at home, and when he faced Xiao Zhan, he didn't dare to take a breath. It is said that the two sons who are not angry are Xiao Zhan's biggest backlash, and acquaintances and friends are very conscious not to mention Xiao Fan and Xiao Tian in front of Xiao Zhan, so as not to make Minister Xiao angry.

"Yes, Uncle Fang, in fact, our situation is the same, it is quite special."

Xiao Fan said very implicitly.

You Fang Li is not an ordinary grassroots background, you are not a "phoenix man", you are a child of a wealthy family. The wealthy family is an independent shili in the domestic political arena. A wealthy family may not be enough to be self-contained, but several wealthy families are united, coupled with various in-laws, friends and colleagues, that is an extremely large circle, shili is so strong, no one can underestimate it.

Now you're going to get out of the family. If you get closer to a certain giant, then you have to calculate whether it is worth it or not.

Now that the Xiao family is here, if the two can become some kind of ally, the support that the Xiao family can give you is definitely not smaller than a certain giant. The old man is still alive, and this is the biggest reliance.

Rao Yuting glanced at her husband, and then asked Xiao Fan, "Xiao Fan, then your opinion, is it out?" ”

"Yes."

Xiao Fan nodded very firmly and replied.

"Uncle Fang has been working in the capital office for too long. Relatively speaking, there is a slight lack of local work experience. During the Tang and Song dynasties, there was an unwritten rule that no prefecture or county should be included in the province. Now it's different though. But by and large, it's still the case. There are not too many examples of ministers serving as ministers of Taiwan and the Cabinet from ministries and commissions. Therefore, I suggested that Uncle Fang go to other provinces to work for a while. The mid-term transition is about to begin......"

Xiao Fan's words were still not finished. But Fang Li and Rao Yuting both understood what he meant. The game of mid-term change. Its intensity is even no less than that of the general election. At that time, in these forty-nine cities, I don't know how big the wind and waves will be involved. Fang Li entered the Inner Court Office at this time, and his foothold was unstable, and he was immediately involved in such a fierce personnel arrangement game, which was not necessarily a good idea.

Just a little bit of a mistake. It's big trouble.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he successively served as the director of the Inner Court Office, but in the end, his career was not too smooth.

"Which direction do you think is better?"

It was still Rao Yuting who spoke.

Xiao Fan smiled slightly.

Rao Yuting has now become more and more comfortable with his style of conversation. She asked "which direction" to go. It's not about going to any province or city. Ordinary sorcerers who deduce the horoscope or analyze the hexagram usually only talk about vague directions, and rarely point out specific locations.

Not enough skill!

It can only be vague and give a hint of fact rather than a hint.

"Southwest, six hundred miles."

Xiao Fan said softly.

Rao Yuting raised her eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "Six hundred miles southwest?" Weishenme is not southeast? ”

Six hundred miles southwest, in fact, refers to Tiemen City, the capital of Yanbei Province. And the southeast that Rao Yuting said is what Xiao Zhan once talked about with Xiao Fan, and Fang Li's other job destination is Mingzhu City.

Yanbei Province is not among the provinces that Fang Li considered serving in before.

"Aunt Rao, Uncle Fang has a flaw in the sky, and the black gas in the southeast direction looms. Going to the southeast is not the best direction. Judging from Uncle Fang's face, in the near future, six hundred miles southwest is his blessed land. Beneficial. ”

Fang Li's face froze again unconsciously, and he said indifferently: "Okay, Xiao Fan, let's stop our conversation." Immediately, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone became gentle: "You are still satisfied with the Chen Yang that Aunt Rao introduced to you, right?" I think that girl is good, if you think it is appropriate, please contact her twice. ”

The elders care about the younger generations, which is also the proper meaning of the question.

Xiao Fan stood up, owed to Fang Li and Rao Yuting, and said politely: "Haode, Xiexie Uncle Fang and Aunt Rao's concern." ”

"I'll send you."

Rao Yuting also hurriedly got up, sent Xiao Fan to the door, and then returned, looking at Fang Li with an inquiry in his eyes.

Fang Li shook his head slightly, a trace of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said indifferently: "Strange talk." ”

Rao Yuting's face condensed slightly, and she said softly: "I think, you better think about it, I think it's not without a little reason, just like Xu Zhennan's incident just now......"

"It's just a coincidence, and it can't be compared."

Fang Li waved his hand and said.

Before Rao Yuting could be persuaded, Fang Li's mobile phone suddenly rang, Fang Li picked up the phone and looked at it, his face suddenly became serious, and he pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Director Sheng, it's me, haha, hello, hello ......"

Fang Li's tone was very polite, and he said in the name of haha. But as he answered, the smile on Fang Li's face disappeared little by little, and his eyebrows raised, looking extremely surprised, as if Director Sheng had said something surprising on the phone.

"Haodehaode, I see, Director Xiexie Sheng. Good, zaijian! ”

"What's wrong?"

After Fang Li hung up the phone, Rao Yuting asked with concern.

She knew who Director Fang Li was in his mouth, who was the person in charge of the giant's office, a senior cadre with the title of deputy leader in a central ministry.

During this time, Fang Li and Director Sheng had a close relationship.

Fang Li didn't answer, his eyes looked straight at the sofa Xiao Fan had just sat on, with a very strange look on his face.

Rao Yuting's eyebrows also raised, and she vaguely guessed something in her heart.

Lao Sheng said that on the issue of me going to work in the Inner Court, Director Ming put forward different opinions. It seems that he is a little reluctant for me to join his team......"

After a while, Fang Li said slowly.

"Huh? So, is Xiao Fan right? ”

Rao Yuting said in surprise.

"And that's not all......"

Fang Li shook his head again, his eyebrows furrowed, and the expression on his face seemed to be extremely difficult to understand.

Lao Sheng also said that the personnel arrangements on Mingzhu's side were decided separately. It may be that the original arrangement cannot be implemented. He asked me if I was willing to go to Yanbei to work for a period of time, which was the same as the job arrangement on Mingzhu's side, to join the team and be in charge of politics and law. He also said that this was the opinion of the comrades of the Standing Committee......"

Rao Yuting's lips opened slightly, forming a bright "O" shape, and her eyes widened, revealing a look of absolute disbelief.

Yanbei, Tiemen City.

Six hundred miles to the southwest! (To be continued......)
