In the early morning of the next day, Fang Jun dressed neatly and rode to the Ministry of Officials to go through the formalities of official transfer.

Fang Jun is the emperor's son-in-law and the predecessor Jing Zhaoyin, and the officials who are waiting for leisure are not equal, so the person in charge of receiving Fang Jun is Su Mian, the servant of the ministry.

Su Mian's grandfather was Su Wei, the prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, and after the famous family, he also had the daughter of the ancestor Li Yuan, Princess Nanchang, and the royal relatives of the Eight Classics. Not only that, but this person was one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, and he assisted His Majesty Li Er together with Fang Xuanling, and he had profound qualifications.

Among the eighteen bachelors, Su Mian is the youngest, and he is only nearly fifty years old, with a thin body, elegant appearance, three strands of long hair neatly trimmed, and he is very handsome.

Fang Jun was taken to the duty room by the scribe, Su Mian stood up from behind the bookcase, smiled warmly, stepped forward to hold Fang Jun's arm cordially, and said with a smile: "I went to the house to congratulate the day before yesterday, but unfortunately there were too many people and I couldn't have a drink with Erlang, which is a pity." When you have time on a different day, you should invite Erlang to a banquet, so that you can be close and close, but don't postpone it. ”

Fang Jun hurriedly said: "Uncle said that he laughed, he can win your favor, the younger generation can't help but be happy, where do you dare to postpone?" As an elder, you really don't have to entertain yourself, you just need to send a scribe. ”

Although he was in the yamen of the ministry, Su Mian opened his mouth to talk about the past, and Fang Jun was naturally not commensurate with his official position, and with a few polite words, the relationship between them became much closer. Su Mian's family is weak and not keen on power struggles, otherwise he would not be able to serve as a servant with the qualifications of an eighteenth bachelor, and there is no conflict of interest with Fang Jun.

This person has an elegant temperament, indifferent to fame and fortune, and he is a little older when he goes out, but he is a person who can be befriended.

Su Mian smiled, and said meaningfully: "Erlang is a promising young man and is becoming more and more famous, which of the first-class scribes in the yamen of this ministry is qualified to handle the formalities for you?" That is, a certain deep-skinned person, relying on the age of a few years old, barely came forward to entertain, but he is not afraid of making you unhappy. ”

Fang Jun thought about it slightly, and then understood the meaning of Su Mian's words......

The reputation of our relationship is a bad street, and the relocation of Jing Zhaoyin to the squire of the military department is considered to have been reduced by several levels, lest he be unhappy and angry, and no one in the ministry is willing to come out to entertain him......

However, it is more likely that someone wanted to deliberately embarrass himself, but was secretly stopped by Su Mian and wanted to sell himself a favor.

You must know that the current secretary of the ministry is Gao Shilian, and his brother Gao Jifu is also a servant of the ministry. Judging from what Xian Yu said in Fangfu, the Gao family was obviously on the opposite side of themselves, trying their best to suppress and depose themselves......

Fang Jun smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "So, thank you uncle for your love." ”

Su Mian laughed, it is pleasant to get along with smart people, you only need to dial a little, you will know that you are still unfinished, and it is really happy.

He didn't mean to defend Fang Jun or target the Gao brothers, but for many years, he had been too angry with the two brothers in the yamen of this ministry, and he filled them up when he was facing the scene, which could make him feel comfortable and happy......

Fang Jun was secretly annoyed in his heart when he heard this, and remembered the Gao family fiercely in his heart.

The procedures for the transfer of officials are complicated, but although Su Mian is often suppressed in the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, in the end, the qualifications of the position are here, and he is naturally convinced that the scribes are running errands around to get things done, and there are not too many constraints and difficulties.

Fang Jun and Su Mian drank a cup of hot tea, chatted a few words, and the formalities were completed.

Su Mian said: "The official mansion, official seals and other things, I will send someone to the mansion later, and now I have nothing to do, if I have this official to accompany you to the military department, I will find a place to have a drink later." ”

Although he didn't talk a few words, he had insight into Fang Jun's erudition, this son was splendid, well-read and memorable, and occasionally had wonderful words, which made him very good, and he really wanted to make friends.

Fang Jun was naturally indispensable, thanked him first, and then the two went out together and walked to the Yamen of the Ministry of War not far away.

*****

In the duty room of Gao Shilian, the secretary of the ministry, the Gao brothers sat opposite each other.

The atmosphere was not harmonious......

Gao Shilian not only served as the secretary of the ministry, but also served as the right servant of the ministry, although the position of the right servant shot was under Fang Xuanling's left servant, and there were not many things in Shangshu Province that he needed to decide, but after all, he was one of the Zaifu, with a high position, and he was a man of his word in the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, who would dare to disobey his will?

But there is this clan brother in front of him, who from time to time relies on the relationship between the same clan and the same clan, thinking that he will not punish him and fill in the blockage for himself......

"Why did the big brother stop me just now? That Fang Jun has always been arrogant, and he even seriously injured Shiro, and today when he arrives at the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, he should naturally be humiliated, otherwise wouldn't he be thought by others that my Gao family is a person who is bullied but does not dare to fight back? ”

Gao Jifu was dissatisfied in his heart and said angrily.

Gao Shilian held the teacup in his hand, leaned his back on the back of the chair, his eyelids drooped, and said slowly: "In your opinion, is this Yamen of the Ministry of Officials 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 hurriedly said, "How can the little brother have such a meaning?" It's just that he doesn't resent Fang Jun's arrogance and wants to teach him a lesson. In the past, he served as Jing Zhaoyin, and the entire Chang'an City was under his jurisdiction, and he was arrogant and still had capital. However, now he is just a soldier in the army, how can he be enough? Even if he succeeds Li Ji in the future and becomes the secretary of the Ministry of War, he will be able to do anything about my Gao family? ”

Gao Shilian's old face did not show joy or anger, put the teacup in his hand on the table, lightly tapped his fingers on the table, and said word by word: "Remember, don't open your mouth and close your mouth, how about the Gao family, you are just a remote branch of the Gao family, if it is not for a certain promotion, how can He De serve the position of a servant of the ministry?" You can't represent the Gao family, let alone tie the Gao family to you as a bargaining chip for your promotion. ”

The old man is very angry in his heart!

Since the last time he toyed with the prince's father-in-law, Su Yan, Gao Shilian was full of annoyance with Gao Jifu's actions. What the hell is going on in this man's brain? That's the prince's father-in-law, you played Su Yan, and it was the royal face that was damaged, if it weren't for Your Majesty's sake for the old man's old face, do you think you can end up well?

Now I want to take the opportunity to take revenge on Fang Jun......

It's just stupid!

If Gao Jifu was really ruthless and trapped Fang Jun in a place of no return, he would be a character in the end, but humiliating Fang Jun like this, in addition to successfully arousing Fang Jun's hatred, what is the benefit?

Gao Jifu's face turned pale, for so many years, he has worked tirelessly to be a cow and a horse by Gao Shilian's side, but he never thought that he had such no status in Gao Shilian's heart, it turned out that everything he had was donated by others, and he never regarded himself as a member of the Gao family......

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Gao Jifu got up with a panicked face, and said repeatedly: "Don't blame the eldest brother, it's the younger brother who is reckless!" However, although the younger brother is at fault, he always wants to seek benefits for the Gao family, and he has never had the slightest intention of eating inside and out! The younger brother can have today's achievements, all rely on the support of the eldest brother, even if it is the day of death, he must look forward to the eldest brother, and there is no second heart! ”

Gao Shilian snorted lightly, noncommittal to Gao Jifu's words, and raised his hand slightly: "You have to think more about it in the future, don't take the wrong path, otherwise you will regret it." Okay, let's get out, there is still official business. ”

"Whoa."

Gao Jifu hurriedly responded, and left the duty room in fright......

*****

Fang Jun and Su Mian walked side by side, followed by several domestic servants and scribes.

The Imperial City was neatly planned, with buildings horizontal and vertical, and most of the central offices of the empire were located in this area.

The two chatted casually, and Su Mian pointed to the yamen of various government offices on the street, and said: "Throughout the ages, when it comes to the huge scale and excellent planning, there is no better than Chang'an. ”

Fang Jun thought so.

Throughout the ages, whenever building buildings, they all believe in feng shui.

The theory of Feng Shui is actually contrary to science, ambiguous and unfounded, but it has been passed down for thousands of years, but no one can deny the mystery of exhaustive study of heaven and earth. Therefore, even in the later generations of scientific prosperity, no matter how heroic and scientific giants there are, they cannot deny them all, and they would rather believe that they exist than that they do not.

In ancient times, when natural science was ignorant, it was natural to enshrine the art of feng shui as Guigao.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, Shangshu Yu Wenkai of the Ministry of Industry was ordered by Emperor Wen Yang Jian to build the capital, combining his own ancient and modern architectural techniques with the art of feng shui, and built the famous Daxing City, which was the predecessor of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty.
