After the eunuch finished reading the holy decree, he carefully folded the holy decree in half with both hands, held it in front of Fang Zheng, his face was full of smiles, and said, "Uncle Fang, please accept the decree." ”

Fang Zheng was covered by this long list of "Zhihu", and he didn't understand a word at all, seeing the eunuch holding the holy decree, Fang Zheng had no choice but to take it, and learned to sing on TV: "Grass people Fang Zheng received the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

The eunuch hurriedly said: "Uncle Fang, now you are the earl of Qinfeng, the imperial court has made a record, and you can no longer call yourself a grass citizen in the future, remember to remember." ”

What do you mean? How did I become an earl? Fang Zheng vaguely heard that it seemed that because of the retreat from the Turkic army, the emperor gave him a title or an official position, but didn't he tell the fat man that he would not be an official when he offered his plan? Could it be that this kid forgot?

Seeing the opportunity, Master Fang hurriedly took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, quietly stuffed it into the eunuch's hand, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law has worked hard, this little meaning, father-in-law, please accept it, and make it a celebration." ”

The eunuch skillfully tucked the silver ticket into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the old owner Fang, congratulations to Uncle Fang, Uncle Fang has been on the rise since then, and his future is limitless." ”

Master Fang laughed when he heard this, and said, "Thank you father-in-law for your good words." ”

The eunuch then ordered the sergeant to send the finished court clothes, the forbidden palace waist card and the knighthood coupon, etc., and then said goodbye to Master Fang and Fang Zheng and left.

After the eunuch left, the people of the Fang family looked at each other, and suddenly burst into cheers, Master Fang stroked his long beard and laughed, Mrs. Fang was so happy that she rubbed Fang Zheng's head, and after the crowd cheered, they rushed to Fang Zheng and threw Fang Zheng up and down, so frightened that Fang Zheng shouted in mid-air: "Don't pull your pants!" Who, who's a hooligan......"

Master Fang surprisingly didn't stop everyone in the Fang Mansion, he just looked at Fang Zheng with a smile and relief. After Mrs. Fang was happy, she had already turned her back and secretly wiped her tears.

Fang Zheng was dizzy, and after getting off the ground, it took him a long time to stand firm.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was a little calm, Fang Zheng leaned in front of Master Fang and asked, "Dad, what did the emperor seal me?" The father-in-law just now read too fast, and the child didn't hear clearly. ”

Master Fang smiled and said, "Didn't you hear clearly? I'm afraid you didn't understand, right? Zheng'er, you have to study more in the future, you are already an official of the imperial court, and you also have the title of Qinfeng, and if you don't learn and don't know how to do it as before, you will lose your own face. ”

Fang Zheng smiled awkwardly, only to say yes.

Master Fang explained: "The emperor gave you the same Jinshi background, which means that you will be a person with meritorious names in the future, and you will be named a loyal and brave uncle, that is, an earl, and you will be awarded the right scattered cavalry, understand?" ”

"What kind of official is the free rider? How many products? ”

"I am a false rank, five products, with the emperor by his side, to give the emperor some advice, although there is no real power, but the position is very important, Zheng'er, you have to be careful to be an errand."

"Aren't all the eunuchs who are with the emperor around?" That's how it is often played on TV, aren't those who follow the emperor around and behind them all eunuchs who have no hair on the top and no roots on the bottom? The emperor won't ask Young Master Ben to swing his sword from the palace to serve him, right?

"Don't talk nonsense!" Old Man Fang glared at him, "The Loose Cavalry Attendant is a civil official, not a eunuch. ”

Master Fang looked at the sky, and then called Steward Sun, "Today is a great event for our family, ask the subordinates to prepare, and the old man will go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors." ”

So, after preparing the sacrificial livestock, fire candles and other things, the three members of the Fang family entered the ancestral hall under the leadership of Master Fang to worship the ancestors of the Fang family.

The subordinates knelt outside the ancestral hall in two columns with solemn faces, Steward Sun and Steward Liu knelt outside the door of the ancestral hall respectively, and the two old men who had worked hard for the Fang family for half their lives were like children at the moment, crying with a handful of snot and tears.

The Fang family's incense has been passed down for more than ten generations, and no one has ever been out of the house in the ancestors, either farming or business, in terms of social status, the Fang family has been trampled on the bottom for so many years. Now Fang Zheng is fighting for the Fang family, if nothing else, from now on, the Fang family will be able to rank among the upper-class rich and noble families, and truly realize the upper-class family model of wealth and power, Master Fang and Mrs. Fang, and even one or two hundred people in the family, their identities will rise because of this, and they will no longer have to face the contemptuous eyes of others outside, this day, for the other family, is a reborn and exciting day. The Fang family finally leapfrogged the transformation from a merchant to an official eunuch.

After the worship, Master Fang waved his hand and ordered people to close the door of the mansion, and all the subordinates of the Fang Mansion gathered, and each person was rewarded with five taels of silver, and it was allowed to drink and carnival, and if he was not drunk, he would not return.

The Fang Mansion was suddenly boiling, on this day, the Fang family did not invite any guests, since the three masters of the Fang family were below, all the people who drank and celebrated were the people in the mansion, and Master Fang also temporarily transferred half of the cooks from the Yuelou Building, and everyone indulged in eating, drinking and laughing, from the afternoon until late at night.

The entire Fang Mansion was drunk. Master Fang was the most drunk, almost unconscious, and when he was helped back to the room by his subordinates, he was still muttering "Ancestors bless, Fang's family ......is prosperous"

Fang Zheng was more slippery, and when people came to toast him, he often cheated and played tricks, and he relied on it, so when everyone was almost drunk, he drank five or six points. Seeing that everyone was drunk, Young Master Fang smiled shyly and went back to sleep.

In June of the twelfth year of Jianwu, the northern military reported that the 20,000 elite cavalry led by Feng Qiudao, dressed as Turks, entered the grassland from Shaanxi and Gansu, slaughtered and exterminated dozens of small Turkic tribes all the way, and deliberately released rumors all the way, saying that they were the subordinates of the new Turkic Khan Mosi, and took over all the tribes on the grassland on the order of the new Khan.

20,000 people fought until near the Black Sand City of the Turkic Imperial Court, and Feng Qiudao turned around and left, rushing from the grassland to the desert, and then returning to the Hua Dynasty via the Silk Road.

Mo Si, who stayed in the grassland, was furious when he heard that someone was massacring the Turks in his name, and he raised an army of 20,000 to chase and kill Feng Qiudao's department, but fortunately Feng Qiudao withdrew early, and when the Turks chased him, Feng Qiudao had already led his army to escape to the desert.

The Turkic Khan, who was attacking the city of the Hua Dynasty, was very angry when he heard that his younger brother Mo Si had established himself as a khan and had slaughtered the old and weak women and children of dozens of tribes.

On the night when the Turkic army got the exact news from the steppe, there were three or four military camps mutinied, and Gu Lulu saw this situation, and immediately gave up the original plan to attack the Chinese Dynasty, and led the Turkic army to rush back to the steppe at full speed, preparing to "suppress" the rebellion of his brother Mo Si.

So far, Fang Zheng's strategy of retreating from the Turks has been completely successful.

In this battle, Feng Qiudao's troops slaughtered countless old and weak women and children of the Turkic tribes, and the 20,000 elites he brought into the grassland also lost a lot, among the Turkic tribes, even women and children were also good at riding and shooting, when Feng Qiudao's troops stepped into the border of Dahua, there were only more than 6,000 people left.

When the military newspaper reached the capital, the whole city cheered, and the people took to the streets to celebrate each other, and Feng Qiudao, who led the lone army into the grassland, was praised by the people and became a national hero.

I don't know who heard the news, the strategy of retreating from the enemy this time was the prodigal son of the Fang family's firm, Fang Tai Sui, and the prodigal son has been rewarded by the emperor and entered the court as an official. Everyone was shocked, and specially asked the shopkeepers of the Fang family's store to inquire, and after getting a positive answer, the people immediately received rave reviews, and even Fang Zheng's previous bad deeds were praised as young and uninhibited, with the style of elegance and wealth.

At this time, Fang Zheng was sitting in the apse of the fat man's palace, drinking and chatting with the fat man.

These days, the gate of Fang's mansion is about to be crowded, there are stutterers, there are gifts, and there are matchmakers, everyone knows that the Fang family has a competitive son, not far from Feihuang Tengda, if you don't please at this time, when will you stay? Especially in the past, there were three business owners who wanted to marry their daughters to Fang Zheng, and they even pestered Master Fang in vain, demanding that their daughters be married immediately.

These people gave Fang Zheng a headache, he hadn't taken a step out of the door for a few days, and today he finally couldn't stand it anymore, and sneaked out of the back door, and after coming out, Fang Zheng immediately came to King Fu's mansion to find the fat man.

"I said, fatty, what kind of heart do you have? Didn't I tell you, I don't want to be an official, if your father wants to reward me, give me some gold, silver and jewelry, and stunning beauties, why should I be an official? Do you think I'm like this, like an official? Fang Zhengzi took a sip of wine and glared at the fat man dissatisfied.

"Hehe, my father must make you an official, what can I do? Why don't you go and talk to my father in person? Anyway, now that you are a free rider, you can enter the palace at any time to face the saint. The fat man smiled proudly, like a fat fox who had stolen a hundred chickens. pulled Fang Zheng into the court as an official, this kid has contributed a lot behind the scenes.

"Come on, your father didn't cut off my head right away." Fang Zheng rolled his eyes.

"Brother Fang, why don't you try to contribute something to the country? Even if you are not a rare high-ranking official, what's wrong with being able to contribute something to the people? Do you know how many lives have been saved by this strategy you have made? I don't understand, why are you so resistant to being an official? ”

"Fatty, I'll dig out my heart with you today, it's really ...... Alas! To say something rebellious," Fang Zheng glanced left and right, looking around at no one, and then leaned into the fat man's ear and whispered: "As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger......"

When the fat man heard this, before he could react, Fang Zheng immediately changed his face to a scoundrel and said, "Hey, don't go to the snitch, I didn't say anything, I didn't recognize anything when I got out of this door." ”

The fat man thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized: "Ah! So you're afraid of this......"

The fat man continued: "You are really worried in vain, as long as you don't commit the big crime of rebellion and usurpation, don't you be fine if you are careful in what you say and do, my father has been on the throne for twelve years now, and the court officials he killed are all guilty of deserving death." Besides, isn't there still me? Just like you, what kind of sin can you commit? ”

Fang Zheng nodded, then reacted, and said unhappily: "What do you mean by me?" What does this mean? ”

The fat man smiled, "It means that just like you, you can't commit a big sin by borrowing your guts, at most you will be greedy for money, and your morals will be corrupt, which is not a big deal." ”

Fang Zheng squinted slightly, "Why don't I hear that what you say is wrong?" Others who have the ability to govern the country and the world, mediocre people who have no ability, ordinary life, I am good, I don't even have the ability to be a traitor? ”

The fat man laughed, "Brother Fang, don't be modest, your ability is very great." ”

Then, the fat man said in a heavy tone: "Brother Fang, you also told me before, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, now the Hua Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and the whole place is devastated, and most of the ministers of the court and the central government are doing nothing, Mingzhe protects himself, the local officials are greedy for ink, and the Turks outside are looking at the delay, and the father and emperor are worried every time they think about it." Brother Fang, we've known each other for so long, you should help me, okay? Be a good official, try your best to help my father and the emperor, and help the people of the Hua Dynasty do something, okay? ”

Fang Zheng was silent, he felt that everything was contrary to his original intention, young master, my dream is to be a gentleman, why did I become an official in the blink of an eye? Besides, I didn't do anything, I just came up with a crooked idea, the ancients studied hard for ten years, and went to Beijing to catch the exam, but they may not be able to pass the exam, why did I get a five-grade official in a few words, plus a knighthood? It's easy for this official to come, right? It's really not worth it to lift people for those talents.

Now that this official has been sealed, it's not appropriate to return it, so let's face it, young master, I should be a progressive young man, someone is willing to send the official, why am I not willing to be it? Besides, Fang Zheng has deeply remembered what the fat man said to Fang Zheng on the day of the opening of Yuzhai, no matter from which point of view, he has to be this official. This is often the case in the world, sometimes when it comes to the head, no matter how unwilling you are, you can't refuse, and your personal will seems so small in front of the development trend of things.

Do you fight back, or do you enjoy it in silence? With the temperament of the eldest young master, the answer seems to be no choice.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng made up his mind and said with a smile: "Fatty, let me ask first, how much is the monthly salary of being an official?" Oh, how much do I mean? Okay, I won't do it without me, alas, I'm really an unprincipled person......"

When the fat man heard this, he knew that Fang Zheng had agreed to be an official, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, patted Fang Zheng's shoulder and laughed: "With your family's financial resources, I'm afraid that little bit of money won't be able to enter your eyes, my father and the emperor have another advantage for you to be an official, all the officials in the world may be greedy for ink, but you can't be greedy, because your family is too rich, and the little silver given by others is really embarrassed to show it in front of you." ”

Fang Zheng also smiled, "Yes, but there is a disadvantage to being an official, if others make beauty tricks on me, I think I will surrender soon......"
