When Fang Xuanling heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Moreover, even if he offended Du Ruhui and the others who were officials in the same imperial court, he still had to take Zhang Feng under his command today.
After all, Zhangsun Wuji had done this before and the Emperor hadn't said anything.
After a series of events, everyone gradually forgot about this matter. However, it was also because he had come to ask Zhang Feng to get his son into White Deer College that Fang Xuanling had an idea. He wanted to put Zhang Feng under his command in the Secretariat. After all, this kid was an unparalleled talent. It would be heartless to not make use of such a talent!
No.
He had eyes but failed to see.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling didn't know how to describe the agitation and conflict in his heart.
On one hand, it was because of the friendship between his comrades. On the other hand, it was because of the unparalleled talent Zhang Feng. It was obvious that Fang Xuanling had chosen the latter after struggling for a while.
"Fengzi, I know that Old Sun and Li Xiaogong must have promised you something last time. However, you have to know that these two people were born military officers. They were born to be military men. Do you think that their Ministry of Appointments and Ministry of Works will be good?"
"I know that you are biased towards the Ministry of Works. After all, it matches your profession. However, you have to think about the future. Think about it, the Secretariat is the closest place to the Emperor."
"Most importantly, the Secretariat is the department that directly participates in decision-making among the three provinces of the Tang Dynasty. Even the Emperor's edicts have to go through the Secretariat to be drafted and finalized. Think about it again. Every day, memorials, documents, and reports from all over the country have to go through the Secretariat before they can be placed in front of the Emperor. What is this?"
Fang Xuanling glanced at Zhang Feng. Seeing that Zhang Feng seemed to be moved, he continued patiently and patiently, "Think about it. If the Emperor wants to make a decision, he has to let Lord Fang and the ministers of the Secretariat go through a strict and careful discussion before they can formulate a plan. Only then can it be announced and implemented in the morning court. This means that the Secretariat can know things that others don't know much earlier than others. What does this mean?"
"Sigh …"
"That's why, Feng Zi, think about it now. Whether it's the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Works, or the other ministries of the Secretariat, who can compare with the Secretariat?"
"Furthermore, the officials of the Secretariat only need to sit there and move their lips before writing something and throwing it out. Their subordinates will have to run around until their legs break. So, would you rather sit together with a bunch of old men and think about whether the rank of other officials should be lowered or promoted? Or would you rather go to the Ministry of Works and sweat with a bunch of craftsmen? Look at the Secretariat. All of them are top-notch talents in the Great Tang, and all of them are youths brimming with vitality. Tell me, would you rather work with them?"
This time, Fang Xuanling said the words that had been in his heart in one breath. He instantly felt very comfortable.
Although he had sold out his colleague, he had no regrets!
As long as he could get Zhang Feng to work for him, he would have a meteoric rise.
At that time, his back would be straighter than it was now.
Compared to selling out his colleague, what was there to be afraid of?
However, this also made Zhang Feng feel a little surprised.
My goodness, this Old Fang, who usually looked dull, turned out to be a f * cking taciturn gourd!
He was simply mischievous!
However, judging from his constant advocacy of the Secretariat, he should have received a lot of benefits from Fang Xuanling. Otherwise, they would definitely be a family with the surname Fang. According to Zhang Feng's knowledge, there were not many people with the surname Fang in the entire Tang Dynasty.
And the most important thing was that this grandson of his had almost made him confused in this short period of time!
He was obviously afraid that others would come to pick the fruits of his labor!
From this, Zhang Feng could vaguely see that he had attracted the attention of the people in the court after the Mid-Autumn Festival and the opening speech. Then, what about the people with the five surnames and seven clans?
Would they be attracted?
Thinking of this, Zhang Feng felt that he could not make any decisions blindly at this time.
Otherwise, if he was not careful, he would face a bottomless abyss!
"Old Fang, what you said is good, and this Secretariat is indeed the center of the world's power, but I still don't want to go!"
Fang Xuanling saw that there was hope and hurriedly said, "Who said that you should go now? Lord Fang's intention is to let you have an idle job in the Secretariat first, and not to do anything! "
"Just do what you need to do. Just do what you need to do. In the imperial examination three years later, just take the token from the Hall of Governmental Affairs and report to the Hall of Governmental Affairs. As for whether you will continue to hold a position in the Hall of Governmental Affairs or not, that's a matter for the future. Just do whatever you want!"
"You see, how can there be such a good thing in this world? If it were me, I would have gone long ago. Why would I hesitate? "
"…"
