Chapter 363: The Career of the Great Uncle
"What are you thinking?" Yan Chi rested one arm horizontally on his slightly open knee, his body still leaning obliquely, looking at the pink halo from his ears and temples, which was quietly spreading.
He could perceive that she could hardly withstand the slightest teasing, but he could also feel that Fang was still hesitating at this time, not knowing what obstacles still existed in his heart, obviously emotional, but still clinging to an invisible boundary, sticking to a subtle distance, this would not be because he was still shy, Yan Chi actually felt that he was also a little afraid to take the initiative to touch that boundary.
He also knew about restricting the Fang period, which must have something to do with her meeting Xu Mingxi.
said that if he didn't inquire, he wouldn't inquire, but he had the patience to wait for Fang Qi to speak by himself.
"Yan Lang once said that as soon as Xiang Jin falls, Weng Weng will cause trouble, is the Son of Heaven still wary of Weng Wengcun?"
"Not so much as beware." Yan Chi restrained his ambiguous mood: "I'll just tell you this, the king of a country, in fact, he can't do many things himself, and he needs the government hall to assist him in executing government affairs, but the emperor is in the deep palace, and he relies on the news of the outside world to know the official's mouth.
Therefore, if the king of a country wants not to be fooled by the officials and become blind and deaf, he needs to use his wit, and the political hall is an important institution in the center of the court, and it cannot become a hall of words. This is the reason why Yi Chengjun knew that it was impossible for Zai Zhigong and Xiang Jin to work together, and asked the two of them to build a team. Xiang Jin's side suffered a heavy blow, and the political hall can be said to be monopolized by your family Weng Weng, Yi Xu is a fool, and he doesn't understand the emperor's art at all, but he is obviously not, so Zai Zhigong understands that while fighting to advance, it is also time for him to retreat. ”
Fang Qi understood, but he still didn't understand very well: "Why don't the officials find another opponent of Weng Weng and continue to check and balance the political affairs hall?" ”
"You should be the one who checks and balances you, so easy to find? Those people that Yi Xu trusts are not even qualified for Sima Quan, so they can only achieve the purpose of checks and balances by appointing a new Zaifu team. ”
"But if Weng Weng retires like this, will he be able to avoid revenge against the Progressive Party?"
"You've retired, aren't you still with me? Otherwise, why are you so keen on the two of us to become husband and wife? With me here, how can the progressive party members have no scruples? And Zai Zhigong is honorably retired, before he retires, according to the convention, Yi Xu will also promote several people recommended by Zai Zhigong to important positions, Zai Zhigong's residual power is still there, and the connections he left behind are enough to escort your second uncle. ”
Fang Qi heard Yan Chi mention the second uncle, and he panicked again.
"I guess ah, before the Duke of Zai retreats, I'm afraid that he will pull Qin Shilang to cause trouble together."
Fang Qi reacted for a long time before she realized that "Qin Shilang" was her father.
"I'm on my mother-in-law's side, so I don't have a good impression of Qin Shilang, and there are no outsiders here, so I'm too lazy to pretend to call him a father-in-law, Qin Shilang is probably because Ding Jiushan fanned the flames, and now he can't listen to the constraints of Zai Zhigong, Zai Zhigong forced him to cause trouble, but he still loves him, because Zai Zhigong knows very well in his heart, thoughtful, Ding Jiushan, will not die well."
Fang Qi held his forehead: "Weng Weng didn't want his father to be used by Ding Jiushan, so he dragged them into the mass grave." ”
"Qin Shilang is an official, he is more honest than Zai Zhigong, and he can be called upright in the officialdom, but when it comes to private goods...... In fact, he is quite ruthless and unrighteous, he feels that he is a gentleman and has always been in line with the five constants of Confucianism, but in fact, Qin Shilang's life has never had any responsibility and responsibility at all, and he is not very clear about right and wrong, and he is a corrupt Confucian to say directly. ”
Although Yan Chi's comment was spicy, he didn't think that Qin Jing was a bad person, and Confucianism was much better than a hypocrite like Ding Jiushan.
"Uncle, I should be able to get a job."
Suddenly, when he heard this, Fang Qi's eyes widened again.
She never thought that her eldest brother would enter the ranks, and she was sure that the eldest brother himself did not think that he would enter the officialdom.
"Zai Zhigong is thinking about the long-term, not a generation, two generations of wealth, is really let the Qin family stabilize the foundation of the family, although Qin Shilang is not the biological son of Zai Zhigong, but is the heir who opened the ancestral hall to tell the world, the parents of the lineage, I feel that Qin Shilang may not be able to take on this heavy responsibility, he can't even keep it steady, so Zai Zhigong will most likely build his eldest brother into the pillar of the family.
It is also because although Qin Shilang has soft ears, he is especially susceptible to being instigated by hypocrites like Ding Jiushan, and he can't add any other mess except talking nonsense, and the eldest brother can withstand having such a father on top. In short, you can relax, your family's vision will not be wrong, if the eldest brother can't bear such a big pressure, the ruling prince will not make such a decision. ”
In the father's uncle's generation, the grandfather thought that the second uncle had a political future than the father, so he focused on taking care of the second uncle, but when it came to the grandchildren, the grandfather still hoped that the elder brother could be the head of the family, as the pillar of the pillar, to gather the manpower of the two houses and the same family, and the foundation would be really stable.
"Zai Zhigong only has two heirs, and it is extremely thin in terms of the family, so he knows very well in his heart that if there is another chaos with a wall, all efforts will be in vain, I still admire Zai Zhigong, married a wife of a chaotic family, and the eldest daughter-in-law is a rare poisonous woman in the world, he did not let the family have too much chaos, although there is a fool like Qin Fangzi, it is also used to the Wang family, in the end, Mrs. Wang is really good luck, although she is useless, she has a father with a unique vision, I really found a good home for her. ”
Fang Qi listened and felt a little weak: "Yan Lang seems to be saying good things for Weng Weng, and I'm afraid that I will be disgusted with Weng Weng." ”
Grandfather is a villain who has no words, and as a result, he took advantage of Yan Chi's once, not only did he feel ashamed but also had to make inches, first pondered about the marriage, and after he succeeded, he still held a posture of ignorance, and until now he has not honestly handed over the unwarranted list, and Yan Chi for her, knowing that it is harmful and beneficial to make enemies to the Xuanjia and other members of the party, he still helped his grandfather at a critical moment, and what he just meant was obviously that when his grandfather retired, he was willing to be the backing of the Qin family's Taoguang Yang.
Grandfather was afraid that until this time, he thought that he had successfully misled Yan Chi, and was confident that his old fox's face was not exposed.
Fang Qi felt that his guilt was like eating pig feed with added corn, and he was growing fast and destroying fat.
"I'm still very lucky to be able to have a grandfather like Zai Zhigong, don't worry, at least I won't be dragged back, you are much more unlucky than me, Madame, you are much more unlucky than me, with bastards like Yan Yong and Huang, I am not less subject to their calculations." Yan Chi remembered that the Huang family was bought by the Wang family to rob Fang Qi at this time, and cold sweat could rush from the soles of his feet to the ground, he really ran into this danger that time, so he saved Fang Qi's life in time, in case he didn't meet it, or it was a step too late...... The daughter-in-law is gone, and killing the Huang family 10,000 times can't make up for this regretful life.
Fang Qi had already forgotten all about the thrill, and when he heard Yan Chi say this, he couldn't help it: "It's not calculated?" I haven't even been insulted once, how many daughters-in-law can be as comfortable as me, Aunt Weng wants to suppress it, but she can't suppress it, but she is so angry that I can't eat well, can I still be considered unlucky? ”
Slowly, it is in front of Aunt Weng, the daughter-in-law of other families, if you want to gain a foothold in the circle of officials and dependents, which one does not have to go through several years of experience, the angular run-in is smooth, and the unedged ones dare to show their edges after intrigue and intrigue to catch each other's flaws, and a few can be like her, the first time she feasted in the name of the housewife of the National Teacher's Mansion, she could stand up unscrupulously? Fang Qi is self-aware, this is not her ability, in the final analysis, it is better to enjoy the shade with her back against the tree.
The more I thought about it, the more grateful I became, and Fang Qi hurriedly filled the empty tea cup of the "big tree" with tea soup.
"A few days ago, I was thinking about my eldest brother's future dispatch, he is not a member of the imperial examination, although he can also strive for important officials in the ministries such as Guozijian, Taixue, Hanlin Academy, etc., but it is just an ornament, because the eldest brother has never planned to take the official career, and without the so-called hard study of the cold window, he cannot make the Confucian scholars truly respect.
I talked to my eldest brother, and I learned that when he was recuperating in the past, he had taught himself Korean language. ”
Fang Qi knew about this matter: "Brother has a servant, his mother is a Goryeo, and the parents of this servant were originally official slaves of King Kang's mansion, and later were given to my family by the first emperor. ”
"I found that my eldest brother is still very talented in language, so I suggested to you Weng Weng that you can strive for the dispatch of the protocol house, which is subordinate to the Honglu Temple, and is responsible for receiving envoys from various countries, promoting diplomatic relations, etc., which belongs to the foreign affairs officer, although he is not a big minister in the court, but he is often quite relied on, especially in the current situation, Yi Xu has to pay attention to diplomatic relations with various countries.
Although most of the eldest brother can't reach the achievements of your family Weng Weng in the official position and power, he can work in Honglu Temple, and he is a real official, which is very conducive to the plan of Zai Zhigong to stabilize the foundation, and it will be of considerable help to Qin Yuan and Qin Zhi in the future of the imperial examination. ”
Fang Qi really can only be regarded as a little bit of knowledge about the affairs of the court officialdom, and when she heard Yan Chi say this, she believed that the protocol affairs were the most suitable for her brother's affairs, and hurriedly thanked her with a happy face.
Yan Chi raised his eyebrows: "What are you thanking me for?" The ministry of the eldest brother, I don't need to fight for it, your Weng Weng retired so consciously, even if he asked for the job of the eldest grandson of Honglu Temple Shaoqing, Yi Xu would not have a word. ”
"But Yan Lang has this proposal, so Weng Weng will think of fighting for this specific job for his brother."
"You're not stupid, you can't even think of judging the house of honor? It's just that with my suggestion, he can be more determined. ”
Fang Qi thought that his brother could have a bright future, which was completely due to Yan Guoshi, if it wasn't for Yan Guoshi who resolved the catastrophe of General E at the beginning, let alone a bright future, their family would probably have lost their son's life, so the more they wanted to repay the peach.
"I'm going to go to Gong's house in two days, about the affairs of the Gong family, Yan Lang has any advice?"
Yan Chi's eyebrows had already calmed down, and he smiled slightly: "Madame is so anxious to find out who Yi Xu is interested in for me?" ”
