Chapter 2156 Life Is Like a Play, Who Is Acting?
If the emperor is the ultimate big boss, then the chief envoy is the small boss, and officials at all levels are various bosses.
Fang Xing, on the other hand, probably belongs to the category of big boss. He is on the same level as the Six Ministers, Assistant Political Scholars, and Martial Arts Masters, and he is slightly more trusted by the emperor.
Ranked like this, what Fang Xing relies on most is the emperor's trust.
Since Zhu Di's period, Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji have accepted Zhu Di's various tests together, and then were trusted.
Zhu Gaochi also trusted Fang Xing. Before his death, the only thing he was talking about was Fang Xing, who was fighting outside the Great Wall. He just wanted him to come back quickly, stabilize the situation, and protect Zhu Zhanji.
"Grandfather! Father! Mother!"
After returning home, Zhuzhu rushed in happily and showed off the things she bought.
Fang Zhuo came out and strolled in the yard with Fang Xing.
"Yun Conglong, Feng Conghu, you came to Zhuozhou, there must be some trouble, right?"
After the Fang family in Zhuozhou fell into misfortune, Fang Zhuo was responsible for the life of the whole family. It was difficult to make money... Fang Xing saw the calluses on his fingers and knew that he was probably copying.
The loom that Fang Hongzhong happily threw out was the tool that Zhu worked hard for this family.
So Fang Zhuo is not a nerd, he knows what Fang will bring when he wakes up here.
Fang Xing said with some embarrassment: "Brother, those... things about clearing the fields have scared people here. As soon as we arrived in Zhuozhou, many people were worried that Zhuozhou would be cleared. Many people from the north came. They're all watching."
Fang Zhuo took a breath of cold air, patted the tree trunk next to him, and said: "You... Xingdi, I am not talking about you because of my brother. I thought about you last night because of my brother. I feel that you have been... all these years." Take risks! One wrong step will lead to the abyss..."
Fang Xing was a little surprised, but also very pleased. He smiled and said, "It surprises me that big brother is so sharp. No, it's a surprise."
"I have no intention of becoming an official, so don't be surprised."
Fang Zhuo said calmly: "After my third uncle's accident, I decided to focus on supporting my family. I have already forgotten all the troubles, but I have the nerve to ask you to take care of me..."
"this is necessary."
Fang Xing smiled bitterly and said, "Brother,
My family has been involved here, and I am so sentimental and unreasonable... Putting aside this, I estimate that Zhuozhou officials will come today. Is there anything taboo here? "
What a bullshit taboo!
This is a clear question to Fang Zhuo: Brother, if you have any grievances, tell me directly when the time comes, and see who dares to refute, I will deal with him!
Fang Zhuo said seriously: "Brother Xing, our family has been bullied miserably by the officials in Zhuozhou over the years, so we need to vent our anger."
Fang Xing bowed and said, "It's my younger brother who's late. Brother, please feel free to speak."
He owed a lot to the Fang family in Zhuozhou, and Fang Hongzhong and the others could not pay it back in this generation. They just looked at Fang Yin and the others.
Fang Zhuo said with some regret: "Being a brother doesn't matter, but your uncle has been brooding on this for many years. Every time he gets drunk, he will cry and miss his third uncle... I was sober last night."
Fang Xing took a deep breath and said bitterly: "Brother, it will be fine."
…
After lunch, Zhuzhu, who had been excited for a long time in the morning, was tired. She yawned and asked to accompany Fang to wake up, but she fell asleep in Zhu's arms in the blink of an eye.
"This girl is one year younger than Wuyou. Sister-in-law, if you are willing, I will take her to play with Wuyou for a while and then send her back."
Fang Xing likes his daughter and thinks she is much better than his naughty son.
Mrs. Zhu glanced at Fang Hongzhong, and Fang Hongzhong coughed dryly and said: "It's time to go and have a look. At least the next generation can't be unfamiliar with it, otherwise I won't be able to see my ancestors in a hundred years."
The strength and cohesion of the clan in this era exceeded Fang Xing's imagination, and the 'sense of responsibility' towards the ancestors was also unbreakable.
Therefore, Fang Hongzhong, as the patriarch of this generation, said very clearly: "In the future, we must move around frequently, regardless of whether we are rich or poor. Unless we dislike it, we will move around. If we don't move around, we are not a family!"
Fang Xing nodded in agreement: "Uncle, don't worry, I know this."
Fang Hongzhong said happily: "Okay, your eldest brother is a bit stupid, let's see about it later."
This was because he wanted to leave the next clan leader to Fang Xing, but Fang Xing could not refuse. The guilt made him remain silent.
Fang Hongzhong looked happy, feeling that the Fang family finally had hope.
"Master, please see Lu Yun."
Fang Hongzhong was stunned and looked at Fang Xing.
Fang Zhuo stood up and said, "Brother Xing, don't move. I'll go greet you."
Fang Xing smiled and said, "Brother, there is no need to bow your head."
Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "I know what's appropriate."
Fang Hongzhong began to tidy up his clothes and even took care of his hair and beard.
…
Lu Yun is a person who looks very righteous and awe-inspiring. Of course, according to the jokes of those small officials in the state government, the official Yang Er looks more upright than him.
After seeing Fang Xing in the main room, Lu Yun bowed and said in his magnetic voice: "I have met Uncle Xinghe."
"Lord Lu..."
Fang Xing tapped the table with his fingers and said calmly: "This is where Fang's family is. Fang is also ignorant. Yesterday, he actually witnessed the scene where Qingpi and the clerk were mixed, and then smashed the back door of this place..."
The awe of justice on Lu Yun's face grew stronger. He cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Xinghe, the lower official only knew about this matter. The junior official has been stopped by the lower official and detained in the state government office..."
"What about these years?"
Fang Hongzhong suddenly joined in. He raised his head and his body trembled slightly, as if he was speaking with all his strength.
"How many times have I gone to report to the official in these years?"
Fang Hongzhong said angrily: "No one cares! It's even getting worse. What did I get for being law-abiding? I was bullied! I dared not go out, and people called me Fang Mouse! Lord Lu... why is this?"
Lu Yun glanced at Fang Xing and said: "At that time... It's a different time now, you should know my difficulties..."
This means: Before Fang Xing supported you, I didn't have time to care about this.
This is very realistic, but there is no place to criticize.
Fang Hongzhong was stunned. He was old-fashioned, but he was blocked by this.
Lu Yun said seriously: "I see that your house is dilapidated. It happens that the state government wants to mobilize craftsmen to do things. I will take the initiative to repair this house."
This man changed the subject and immediately talked about compensation.
If the Fang family's mansion is completely renovated, it will cost a lot of money and grain, but the state government can mobilize craftsmen and get it done for free by just making up a name.
The key is that Lu Yun has a serious face and a righteous look, which makes people feel that this is what should be done and can be accepted calmly.
This is also a skill. If you learn it well and go out to please the powerful, you will be successful in everything.
What's more important is that when he said this, he didn't even look at Fang Xing, as if Fang Xing was still in Beiping City, and he, Lu Yun, was just here to defend Fang Hongzhong.
Life is like a play!
Fang Xing thinks that the officialdom is a stage, and if you want to go on stage to act, your acting skills must be good enough.
Lu Yun is good!
