With the character of Young Master Fang, of course, he would not have the patience to meet them one by one, so he asked Steward Sun to lead the ministers to the front hall, Young Master Fang covered his buttocks, frowned, and limped to a hodgepodge.

The ministers were not dissatisfied, after all, there were too many people, Lord Fang was now "seriously injured" and needed to recuperate, and it was already a full courtesy to be able to come out to see them, so how could he dare to say more?

"Oops! My lords have waited for a long time, the lower officials are rude, they really deserve death! As soon as Fang Zheng appeared, he positioned himself in the position of "lower official". Young Master Fang is a little messy on weekdays, but he is not stupid, he is a young man, he is in a high position before he has a weak crown, how many pairs of eyes are staring at him, if he doesn't learn to be low-key and modest, if he offends anyone, he doesn't know how he will die in the future.

Think about it, in ancient times, there was no TV, no karaoke, no bar, and entertainment was lackluster, what did these officials do when they were free? Isn't it just that his mind is full of thinking about how to calculate people, and when it comes to the means of rectifying people, who can compare to being an official? What's more, these people are also the leading figures among the officials of the Chinese Dynasty. Is it okay to deal with these people if you are not careful?

According to the rules of officialdom, it is supposed that the low-grade officials who visit the high-grade are the ones who are, but among the dozen or so ministers here, all of them are big officials wearing official uniforms of the fourth rank or above, and in their identities, they actually took the initiative to visit Fang Zheng, a junior official of the fifth grade, this phenomenon seems to be very abnormal, but it seems to be very normal. - Who told Young Master Fang to be close to the emperor? No matter how many products there are, as long as you grasp the thoughts of the superiors, the black gauze hat on your head can be worn safely. And Fang Zheng is undoubtedly the one who can make them stable.

"Lord Fang is polite, yesterday Lord Fang was given a court rod by the emperor for some minor mistakes, and my colleagues and I were supposed to persuade each other, but the emperor has always been a dictator, and those of us who are courtiers really can't speak." An old man in a four-grade official uniform stood up and arched his hand, sighing as he spoke, as if he felt the same way.

"Lord Liu is right, we are really heartbroken, no, everyone will meet to come to Lord Fang's house, first, recognize the door, and come and go often in the future, second, visit Brother Fang's injury, I hope Brother Fang will recover as soon as possible, and be loyal to the country, three, we have prepared a little bit of heart, it can be regarded as a meeting gift, and I hope that Brother Fang will not be disgusted, and it is ......good to laugh and accept" An old man wearing a four-grade official uniform and a wrinkled face stood up and respectfully handed over a stack of thick gift lists.

These guys are so shameless, Fang Zheng despises them in his heart, they are old enough to be my grandfather, and they still speak brother, it doesn't matter if you don't have a face, who is it to call me old?

I despise it in my heart, and I have to do it on the surface: "Oops! I didn't dare to do this, and all the adults descended to visit the lower officials, which made the lower officials very moved. This heart of the lower official......"

Fang Zheng sniffled as he spoke, looking grateful: "...... Xia Guan's heart is warm, and even the injury seems to be seven or eight points better. From all the bosses, the lower officials saw the thriving atmosphere of our Hua Dynasty. You are the pillars of the court, the pillars of the country, and you are busy with official business on weekdays, but you have taken time out of your busy schedules to visit me, a newly promoted little idle official, what a selfless bearing, what a love this is! The lower officials should take your lords as an example, for the industrious and simple people of our Hua Dynasty, and for my wise and martial saints, bow down and die! Alack...... The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch turns to ash and tears begin to dry, but the dragon city will fly in, and do not teach Humadu Yin Mountain......"

Young Master Fang's performance was too involved and forgetful, and in the end, he couldn't help but be stunned, these two poems don't seem to match at all, right?

The ministers looked at each other, but their hearts could not be calm for a long time. To be able to mix in the current position in the court, they thought that they were shameless enough, but they never expected that this young man who was less than twenty years old would be even more shameless than them, and even the poems jumped out. Such a deep sycophant skill makes these old fritters in officialdom who have been immersed in this way for decades blush with shame. Awesome! This kid's future achievements are limitless, and today's trip is the right one.

After Fang Zheng finished speaking, the scene was cold for a while. Everyone has the heart to say a few words, but you kid has slapped the sycophants to this realm, how can we answer the phone? It's not kind!

It was only after a while that an old man blushed, and Ai Ai said, "Okay...... Good poetry......"

Everyone woke up like a dream and praised one after another: "Good poetry, indeed good poetry......"

Fang Zheng's face did not change, and he waved his hand modestly: "It's not good, it's just average, your adults have praised it." ”

The guests and hosts sat down, each with a calculation in their hearts, but on the surface it was a group of harmony, everyone hypocritically polite, talking about the weather, talking about women, talking about the wind and the moon, and about war, Turkic, people and other words, all of them were not discussed. It's as if everyone has an automatic shielding system in their hearts, and these sensitive words have become a bunch of gibberish in their hearts.

Fang Zheng happily chatted with them, no matter who he talked to, he held the other party high, for a while, the front hall was like a spring breeze, blowing the hearts of these officials warm, everyone deeply believed that this new Lord Fang was born to be an official material, and the emperor made him an official, which was really clear-sighted, far-sighted, and extremely wise.

After chatting for more than an hour, now this door has been recognized, the injury has been visited, the tea has been drunk, and the fart has been filmed. There are many middle-aged and elderly people who have hemorrhoids, and everyone's buttocks can't sit still, so they look at each other, and they all stand up and say goodbye to Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng rejected the gift list they sent: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that the lower officials don't know how to lift, but this is not in accordance with the rules." It should be the lower officials who go to visit you first, these gifts, the lower officials dare not accept them, and please take them back, otherwise it will be a torture to the lower officials! ”

The main purpose of everyone coming to Fangfu is to give gifts and mix up their faces, how to take back the gifts, isn't this a trip for nothing.

So everyone was at the door of the front hall again, pushing the gift list around like playing Tai Chi, and some people were not downset, wondering if they were giving less, so people didn't want to accept it. So the result of pushing back and forth was that Young Master Fang fought alone against the ministers, but he was outnumbered, and the gift list was still back in his hands, in addition to the gift list, there were also a few more large silver tickets.

After sending off all the pillars of the court, Fang Zheng turned around, and his face was already smiling happily.

It's good to play Tai Chi, and you should do more Tai Chi in the future, which is a very lucrative sport......

I opened the gift list and looked at it, wow! It's sent! That's hundreds of thousands of taels. It is enough to open ten more Ruyu Zhai, and Fang Zheng has now deeply realized that being an official is more profitable than any business. It is no wonder that from ancient times to the present, Chinese people only want to drill into the officialdom, and the taste of this is really wonderful.

Inadvertently made a windfall, Young Master Fang was so happy that even the injury on his buttocks seemed to have healed, maybe it was the imperial doctor's medicine that had a miraculous effect, maybe it was because he was in a good mood after making a fortune, anyway, in the end, Young Master Fang was jumping back to the small courtyard.

In the afternoon, another official came to the door alone. This is a big official, Wei Chengde, the secretary of the military department. It was he who strongly supported Fang Zheng's strategy of retreating from the enemy, and was the supreme person in charge of implementing this strategy.

Wei Chengde didn't come to talk to Fang Zheng. In any dynasty, there are traitorous ministers and loyal ministers, and the proportion of the two depends on whether the emperor of the dynasty is mediocre. From this point of view, the emperor of the Hua Dynasty is not too wise, and more than one person told Fang Zheng that now the court is a traitor......

Wei Chengde was one of those few loyal ministers. The old man was already sixty years old, but his body was quite tough, but he was too thin, and he had a long flowing beard, which swayed in the wind. If the old man takes off his official uniform, changes into a Taoist robe, and stands on the street to set up a stall to tell fortunes in the appearance of a fairy, his income is estimated to be much more considerable than that of him as an official.

Lord Wei came to the door to observe Fang Zheng. From the bottom of his heart, although he had never met Fang Zheng, Lord Wei still had a good impression of him. After all, Lord Wei is the main battle faction in the court, since the implementation of Fang Zheng's strategy and the successful retreat of the Turks, the main battle faction has greatly shown its face in the court, tens of millions of people have survived the war, and he himself has been promoted to a knighthood because of this. Therefore, it is reasonable for him and Fang Zheng to be closer.

But since he saw Fang Zheng's appearance in the court, Lord Wei began to worry.

Lord Wei has lived to this age, and the official has also achieved his current position, so it is said that people should not be judged by their appearance. Helplessly, Young Master Fang's face is really insecure, the whole person is full of thief head and thief brain, oil cavity and smooth tone, a standard traitor face. After seeing Fang Zheng's appearance, Lord Wei muttered in his heart: This guy doesn't look like a good person left and right!

Although he came up with a plan at a critical moment to save the fate of the Hua Dynasty, who knows what he had in mind for this strategy? There are many people in history who rely on advice as a step up to the ladder to achieve their goal of becoming an official. Who would dare to guarantee that this Lord Fang didn't have such thoughts?

Look at this posture, the emperor intends to reuse him, if he is also a traitor, what should he do? There are enough traitors in the court, and if there is such a scourge again, won't there be no place for loyal ministers in the court?

Realizing the seriousness of this problem, Lord Wei couldn't sit still, and he couldn't care about the rules of officialdom, so he personally visited Fang Zheng, a minor official of the fifth grade, with the respect of a second-grade official. He wanted to see with his own eyes, hear with his own ears, and tell whether this young new official was loyal or treacherous.

Lord Wei is a clean official, he has been an official all his life, he has not accepted bribes, and he has lived a tight life by relying on the meager money issued to him by the imperial court. However, the Chinese have such a tradition of doing things, and the first time they go to someone else's house, they always have to mention some gifts.

Lord Wei really just meant it, he carried a box of cakes that he bought from an unknown stall, plus a few blood-tonic herbs that were so cheap in the pharmacy that no one picked up on the street, and entered the door of the Fang Mansion.

Fang Zheng froze when he saw Wei Chengde for the first time, the old man was carrying a box of cakes that he didn't know if he had passed the expiration date in his left hand, and a few packets of things that seemed to be traditional Chinese medicine in his right hand, standing in front of him calmly, looking ethereal and about to soar. Wearing a gray Confucian shirt that was washed white and had two patches, the whole person was indifferent, looking at the expression, it seemed that he was wearing the most luxurious and exquisite clothes to attend a grand banquet.

If you hadn't seen his famous post, I couldn't believe that this old man was actually a second-class member of the court.

"This is Lord Wei of the Ministry of War, right? Looking up for a long time, the lower official should have gone to your house to meet you, but ...... Alas, but I have been unwell in the past few days, and Master Wei of Labor has come to visit him in person, and the lower officials really dare not be a good official. ”

Wei Chengde stroked his long beard and smiled: "Lord Fang's words are serious, the old man never cares about the rules of this officialdom, and the old man came here today mainly to get to know the young hero who planned to retreat from the Turkic army of 200,000, hehe." ”

"Lord Wei has won the award, it was just a casual remark by the lower officials, but I didn't expect it to be adopted by the imperial court. Speaking of which, this is all due to the emperor's discernment and discernment, and the cadres are arbitrary, and the lower officials have no merit. ”

Wei Chengde nodded secretly in his heart when he heard this, although this son's words and deeds were a little impetuous, but not arrogant.

Fang Zheng secretly glanced at the shabby gift sent by Wei Chengde on the coffee table, and secretly wondered in his heart: This old man shouldn't have come to disgust me on purpose, right? Look at what he's dressed like this, and look at the stuff he gave him. - I didn't offend him.

It's no wonder that Young Master Fang, after all, a group of ministers came in the morning, and as soon as they raised their hands, they gave him hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. In the afternoon, there was another one, like a scavenger who made a living by picking up rags, and gave him a few scraps. is also a minister of the imperial court, with completely different performances, such a huge psychological gap, Young Master Fang has to wonder if this old man is here to find a teacher.
