Chapter 175 There are two days in the sky

In the long list of official positions that he gave him "Glance", Fang Qingchen really "Glanced".

All along, he tried not to take the initiative to interfere in government affairs. Even if his opinion must be correct, he no longer wants to continue to show the way for the country as a pioneer and mentor, and only let others bury their heads in the work.

The state of Chu is a Chu people, and it shouldn't belong to a monster like him who doesn't live up to his name. This world is mortal, and outsiders like them who should not exist in the world should not intervene too much.

The officials of the Chu State must have their own thinking, their own decisions, and their own responsibilities. They have to face turmoil, face interests, face inner desires, and then learn conflict and compromise, learn to reject and integrate, learn how to correct mistakes little by little, and find the right path.

Therefore, even if he found that some official positions were not properly arranged, and some people were not capable enough to take on their positions, he did not want to point them out immediately as long as there were no major problems.

At present, this result is a consensus reached by the final compromise and integration of all forces, so why bother to break it, and why not give others a chance to try.

The Qin people hurriedly handed over their positions, and many official positions were left unattended for a long time. The Qin army temporarily collected a large amount of money, food, and goods, and many positions, and now as soon as they sit down, they will face tremendous pressure. This is the best whetstone that can hone talent for the country.

How easy is it to have a vegetarian meal in the corpse? If you are incompetent and do not do well, all forces are staring at you, and you are afraid that new talents will be launched immediately. Take over the job. So there's no need to worry too much.

His mind is determined, Fang Qingchen basically has no intention of having an opinion on these official arrangements, so he has no opinion. So he only paid attention to Zhao Wangchen.

Zhao Wangchen has been promoted three levels in a row, and now he can control the defense of the entire capital. And the palace garrison, which was originally in charge of him, directly promoted his original deputy.

In fact, with Zhao Wangchen's qualifications and age, even if he is Fang Qingchen's apprentice. Under normal circumstances, at present, it is not qualified to control the defense of the entire capital alone.

However, Chu Jing was originally guarded by Qin and Chu, and this time the Qin people left, the power vacuum left in Beijing was too great, and the military officials in Beijing, such as Ling Fang, a simple military general, had already left Beijing. went to the city where the Qin people withdrew and took over the defense, while most of those like Zhuo Ziyun, who were both civil and military, chose to give up their military positions and seek the position of important members of the political hall and the six ministries instead.

It's not that there is no one else except Zhao Wangchen, it's just that all forces are facing each other, and no one is worried about anyone. The defense of the capital is so critical. No one wants to see the positions that ensure the safety of all the lives and lives of people in Beijing fall into the hands of officials who are not their own.

After several wrestling parties, in the end, everyone chose Zhao Wangchen, who did not belong to any faction. It also represents a person with a transcendent status and a light dust in the place to take over the defense of the capital.

Since Fang Qingchen entered Beijing, he has rarely interfered in government affairs, hardly embarrassed any forces, and never favored one side. Coupled with his prestige and credibility, he can be trusted by all parties. There are only his disciples left.

What's more, Zhao Wangchen is indeed very successful as a man. Although he is young, he is old and careful, respectful and polite to the courtiers, and usually no matter who asks him, he can help. Therefore, there was not a single Manchu official who did not like him. He also loves to make friends, that is, a character in the rivers and lakes, a humble businessman, and has a lot of friendship with him. He also cared for the soldiers, and when he was in the army, he drank and ate with the lowest soldiers, and was loved by the lower classes.

With so much support from all sides, it was logical that he finally took over the defense of the capital. And because the defense of the palace was managed by his former army and his former deputy, invisibly, the capital of the Chu State, the palace, and the hub of power in a country, basically all the military power was also controlled in the palm of his hand.

Although Zhao Wangchen's previous official position was not small, he was not qualified to be in charge of Kyoto's defense, so he was temporarily promoted to several levels. He is now at a young age, and he is already in a high-ranking position, but it is rare that he is still not arrogant or impatient, polite and polite to everyone, and has no arrogance.

Fang Qingchen swept the entire list lightly, his eyes lingered on Zhao Wangchen's name and official position again and again, and the officials who stood beside him respectfully, waiting for him to reply, carefully followed his gaze, and saw that he only stared at Zhao Wangchen's three words, and couldn't help but raise his heart, lest this master want to do something to avoid suspicion, and refused to let his disciple hold such a high-powered official position. In case Fang Qingchen really refuses it, it will be too difficult to find someone who is at ease in all aspects of the city's defense and military affairs.

Fortunately, in the end, Fang Qingchen didn't say anything, just nodded, closed the list, and handed it back to the official: "Since it was agreed by the DPRK and the central government, and the emperor also agreed, I naturally have no opinion." ”

The officer sweated, quickly took the list, and respectfully retreated.

The next day, the holy decree of the emperor's imperial seal was stamped, and the appointment letters of the officials were spread everywhere, and countless new officials took office, and everywhere was vigorous, and they were ready to do it.

Half a month later, the news that Liu Heng's entire army had left the Chu realm and entered the territory of the Qin State came, and the whole country was jubilant, and the dark clouds that had been hanging over the heads of the Chu people for many years were finally dispersed.

Folk celebrations have never stopped, and some people in the DPRK and China have suggested that a big celebration should be held. As for the reasons

Nominally, he and Qin Xu Feidi have made an agreement on the Qin-Chu Alliance, so it's not good to shoot directly, then you can only use the emperor's wedding, the emperor's birthday, and this kind of happy event as an excuse.

What name to use and what to do, the court and China have not yet agreed, and the southern princes have already begun to make moves. The corresponding congratulatory gifts, watches, and suggestions were sent to Beijing one after another, and most of the princes said that they would personally go to Beijing to meet the king when they were in Daqing. And one of the largest princes in the south, Zhuo Lingyun, had already personally brought a congratulatory gift and a team of 500 people to Beijing to celebrate.

Zhuo Lingyun is the highest status in Fang Qingchen's old department, and he is also the most powerful figure in the south.

The little emperor personally held a banquet to receive him, and even hid at home every day in a place where he had nothing to do. Finally, I showed my face at the banquet which was extremely face-giving. And in order to show that the standard of this reception is high and the treatment is thick, even the Emperor Taishang, who has been locked up in the deep palace, was invited out and sat at the top as a noble ornament.

Fang Qingchen really didn't think much of the royal family's statement, but since they had arranged it with enthusiasm, he, a guest who walked into the palace and found that there was an extra host, had no choice but to drink and eat in a muffled voice.

to Chu Ruohong above. He didn't look closely, but just glanced at it casually.

It's been more than a year. Chu Ruohong seemed to have lost a lot of weight, although he was still dumbfounded, sitting still, and eating whatever the people around him fed, but his face was always haggard, and even on his head, there were already some dazzling whites.

Fang Qingchen lowered his head. Attentively looking at the wine and food in front of his desk, swallowing the wine in one gulp, it was hot and spicy, and it was a little choking.

Listening to the little emperor and Zhuo Lingyun, one was polite, and the other respectfully replied. I just felt bored, and I regretted that I would be bored enough to agree to such a banquet.

Although he has a good relationship with Zhuo Lingyun. But if you can get together in private after the palace banquet, what reason do you have to go to such a boring place?

He was in a surprisingly bad mood. looked at the smiling faces of the hall with cold eyes, and felt that everything was far away and ridiculous.

Listening to the little emperor Kuazhuo Lingyun stationed in the south for the country, his achievements in pacifying the war are worthy of a heavy reward. Zhuo Lingyun praised the little emperor for being far-sighted, controlling the overall situation, and finally driving away the Qin people, whose feats are rare in the world......

The two sides come and go. No one is disgusted with meat, but Fang Qingchen heard goosebumps rising all over his body, so he had to bow his head and concentrate on dealing with the wine and food. Try to turn the words of others around you into a breeze.

He wants to stay out of the matter here, but he doesn't know that people like me, I praise you, and after two or three rounds, it's all about him.

Zhuo Lingyun said modestly that he didn't have any credit, it was all because Fang Qingchen taught him well, and he just obeyed Fang Hou's wishes.

The little emperor said sincerely, he was young and didn't do anything, and if there was no Fang Qingchen in Beijing to preside over the overall situation in the past two years, God knows what would have become.

The other courtiers in the palace also praised Fang Qingchen one after another, and all kinds of fleshy words were used on him in one go, making him a good person, and praising him as a god in the sky.

It's a shame that Fang Qingchen's mind is not in the temple at this time, he only concentrates on eating and drinking, and he doesn't know what people say, otherwise he doesn't know what the cold will become.

It's just that he suddenly noticed that there was silence around him, and he felt that something was wrong, and when he raised his head, all the officials, including Zhuo Lingyun, stood up and looked at him.

Fang Qingchen frowned, thought for a while, and vaguely remembered that it seemed that someone had just shouted: "Fang Qingchen listens to the order!" ”

He frowned a little depressedly, what kind of play is this? It's just that on this occasion, he can't help but be unconventional, he stands up sullenly, walks to the middle, he has the privilege, he doesn't have to kneel, he just bends down and bows his head, and he is ready to obey the order. Even so, the little emperor didn't dare to sit down and bow to him, so he quickly stood up, with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "The marquis of Zhenguo Fang Qingchen, and the country has a great honor......

――――――――――――――――――

"You say, what's going on?" It is rare that Fang Qingchen will also lose his temper in anger, the underground people of Fanghou Mansion have been hiding far away in the morning, only Zhao Wuchen has stubbornly guarded the hall, responsible for the needs of the host and guests.

In the hall, Fang Qingchen stood angrily above, headed by Zhuo Lingyun and Zhuo Ziyun below, gathering the civil and military officials who had the closest relationship with Fang Qingchen in the capital and held heavy power.

Everyone was trained by Fang Qingchen to lower their eyebrows and be pleasing to the eyes, only Zhuo Lingyun had been under Fang Qingchen's account for many years, and the relationship was close, so he had the courage to answer: "Fang Hou, this really has nothing to do with us, what's more, isn't this still a good thing?" ”

"A good thing?" Fang Qingchen sneered: "It's so dignified, suddenly at the banquet, you want to seal me a first-class duke?" The fief is directly near the capital, the best and richest place, which emperor would suddenly be so generous, do you dare to say that you are not doing anything behind your back? ”
