Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2196
One satirizes the other party for "learning but not good", who is full of knowledge and talent, but has poor conduct and selfish pursuit of profit.

One laughed at the other party as "unteachable". Although he was born in a famous family and held a high position, he didn't know his dignity and acted recklessly.

……

The doorman saw pain in his face, and after saluting, he turned around and went to the main entrance to stick to his post.

Fang Jun had a happy face and let Xu Jingzong into the main hall.

Inside the hall, there were two young men in long gowns, they had already stood at one side with their hands tied, when they saw Xu Jingzong coming in, they all bowed to the ground, and said respectfully: "General Xin Mao, Wang Xuance, have seen Xu Huangmen. "

Xu Jingzong's face trembled.

He really didn't want to see the position of "Servant of the Huangmen". After being recalled to the capital by His Majesty, he once sought the position of "Servant of the Zhongshu" but failed, so he could only "condescend" to be the Minister of the Huangmen.In his opinion, the servant of the Huangmen is the emperor's dog leg, and he is only a little higher than the eunuch's servant. In the eyes of the minister, he is a serious position.

What's more, he doesn't like to see Chu Suiliang more and more recently, and he is ashamed of his colleagues.

It's just a good handwriting, empty stomach and no talent, relying on flattery and flattery, to be able to serve the emperor's side and keep the emperor's heart, it is simply a shame for scholars!

What's more important is that this person is so narrow-minded, he has slandered himself in front of His Majesty more than once, causing him to be less and less valued by His Majesty...

Sometimes Xu Jingzong is so angry that he can't wait to jump up and slap his ears. When we called you brother and brother, did you dare to be so arrogant?

Therefore, he now hated the position of "Huangmen Servant" and was eager to transfer out of this position.

However, the two young people in front of them are all good-looking talents and good temperament, and they are not the ones in the pool at first glance.This is also normal, the so-called "things of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups", how can young people who can become friends with Fang Jun and enter the house, be vulgar?
The gloomy look on Xu Jingzong's face faded away, replaced by a kind smile: "Excuse me, excuse me, this little official position is not worth mentioning, since we are all Erlang's friends, then I will call him after Erlang. Say 'Uncle Shi', haha, let this old man take advantage!"

General Xin Mao and Wang Xuance claimed that they didn't dare, but Xu Jingzong insisted again and again, and then called "Uncle Shi", which made Xu Jingzong nod his head again and again, like "children can be taught".

Fang Jun was noncommittal about his attitude and invited him to sit down.

After sitting down with General Xin Mao and Wang Xuance, he asked, "Uncle Shi came to the humble house, but what advice do you have?"

Xu Jingzong said displeasedly: "Our two families are family friends. My father and I are brothers and sisters. You are like my son and nephew. When you were young, I often visited the door as if you were at home. You must not say such alienating words in the future. , seem heretic, and be laughed at by others.”

Fang Jun smiled without saying a word.

Good things dare to take advantage of me?

"Well, since Uncle Shi has said so, if my nephew speaks more politely, he will really seem ignorant. You came to the door today, but what do you have to explain? If there is something to do, it's okay to say, my nephew will always tell Uncle Shi It's done beautifully."

Xu Jingzong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's right...Speaking of it, there is really something to do."

As he spoke, he glanced at General Xin Mao and Wang Xuance.

The two got up quickly and said: "We still have something to do, so we are leaving for the time being..."

Fang Jun raised his hand and stopped him: "You two don't need it."

Then he said to Xu Jingzong: "This is my nephew's best friend. There is nothing you can't say. Uncle Shi, please speak frankly."

Xin Mao will have a warm heart with Wang Xuance...

Xu Jingzong was a little embarrassed, but seeing Fang Jun's firm expression, he didn't feel admiration in his heart. Not to mention anything else, this Fang Er, just this broad mind, was better than those ignorant second-generation dude No wonder those brave generals in the army are convinced by him.

"Since this is the case, the old man will not hide it anymore. In fact, it is not a big deal. There are still four sons in the old man's family who have just grown up. The old man usually invites famous teachers to teach them the scriptures. They are considered smart. This The academy is about to be established, the old man is thinking, Erlang is highly valued by His Majesty as the academy's 'administrative', and he should do his best to serve the king, but this huge academy must have a few of his own people to help, so it's better The arm makes the finger, and it is as clear as the palm of the hand."

Both General Xin Mao and Wang Xuance were in a daze.

There are rumors in the market that Xu Jingzong's face is "extraordinarily thick", today is the experience...

You are clearly begging someone to get your son into the academy, but you are not even willing to accept such a little favor, and you have to say "this is a favor for you", so it is possible that Fang Jun should be grateful to you?
What's more, even if you put favors here, Fang Jun doesn't like it, so he can't say anything...

Fang Jun also opened his eyes to Xu Jingzong's shamelessness. How did this kind of person survive in the officialdom until now?It is unbelievable that he could even thrive in the Gaozong Dynasty.

In the officialdom, what is important is reciprocity. Today I beg you, I owe you a favor, and you will return it when you beg me another day. It seems that the two are clear, but in fact there is reciprocity. get closer.Everyone takes care of their share, and when there are always times when you are begging others, lower your posture a little bit, don't care if you give a lot of favors or owe a lot, even if you have made countless contacts.

Like Xu Jingzong, who only cared about taking advantage of it and beat him to death and refused to suffer, who would play with you?

This old boy is indeed a miser...

Opening his mouth, he was about to refuse, but when he glanced at General Xin Mao and Wang Xuance, he changed his mind.

Ordering people to serve tea and cakes, Fang Jun held the pot and poured tea for Xu Jingzong, and said with a smile: "My two good friends are both good men for a while, and they will be in the officialdom in the future, so I have to give you a lot of advice from my uncle."

Xu Jingzong was puzzled.

what's the situation?
Begging me to praise them both?
It's not me praising them, it's your roommate praising me!Now when it comes to the influence on His Majesty, if you look at the court, your second room will be the second, who would dare to recognize the first?The two youngsters, who would dare not take care of you wherever you want to be placed in the yamen?

By the way, this Wang Xuance has now become the chief manager of the "Eastern Datang Company", and almost all overseas trade has to go through his hands, so he has a lot of power.

This is already a character...

He looked up at Wang Xuance and asked, "Is the young master from the Wang family of Taiyuan?"

Wang Xuance hurriedly said: "It's not a direct branch, but a remote branch."

More than a distant house?The ancestors may have the blood of the Taiyuan Wang family, but I don't know which generation it is, and I can't figure it out according to the genealogy. Otherwise, why would I be reduced to running to become a city gate official?
However, since climbing Fang Jun's "thigh" and relying on his own ability, Wang Xuance is now considered the No. [-] figure in the "Eastern Datang Company", in charge of overseas trade power, Taiyuan Wang also took the initiative to post He came up to show his favor, and expressed that he could contribute to bring Wang Xuance's branch into the Taiyuan Wang family genealogy, and recognize the ancestor and return to the clan.

Xu Jingzong shook his head and said: "Don't ask where the hero comes from, a good man depends on his ability alone, don't underestimate himself."

This means that Wang Xuance has made a name for himself, otherwise his words should have been "the common people of a family, the difference between clouds and mud, young people should be diligent and diligent, and don't be too ambitious"...

Then he turned his head, looked at Xin Mao and asked, "Your surname is not common. What is the relationship between Xin Zhao, the former chief secretary of Didao County in Longxi in Sui Dynasty, and you?"

General Xin Mao hurriedly said solemnly, "It's my father."

Xu Jingzong sighed with emotion: "It turns out to be the descendant of the ancients! Is your father still safe?"

At that time, he entered the Qin Palace and became one of the eighteen bachelors.

Xu Jingzong was born in Xincheng, Hangzhou, but he was not a prominent family in Jiangdong. His ancestral home was Gaoyang, Hebei.His father, Xu Shanxin, first served as an official in Nanchen, and later in the Sui Dynasty, he served as Secretary Cheng, responsible for sorting out the national collection of books.

Because of his age and family relationship, he was at the bottom of the rankings, and he usually did errands and odd jobs, which were all his... It was at that time that he met Xin Zhao, the chief secretary of Didao County.

In a blink of an eye, it has been decades since I saw my old friend.

Xin Mao's expression darkened, and he said, "My father has passed away for many years."

Xu Jingzong was taken aback, and sighed: "Your father was weak back then, I told him to take care of himself, but he didn't want to die so early..."

Speaking of this, I was suddenly surprised.

He was talking about the admission of his sons to the academy, how did he end up here?
This Fang Er is really a ghost, I asked him to do something by myself, but I was interrupted by him...
