Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 657 Mei Niang's Talent

Fang Jun was extremely unhappy with this fiefdom.

The title of Marquis of the Founding County of the third rank is indeed not low. For the period when the country has been established for a long time and the situation is relatively stable, such a title is simply rare.What's more, the county marquis of Kaiguo had a thousand households, not to mention the salary, the offerings from these thousand households alone were enough for a family to prosper for a long time.

But the question is, can Huating Town gather enough to become a food town?
Shiyi refers to ordinary peasant households. If military households were added, it would cost as many as possible, but how could Fang Jun dare to do that?

After all, Huating Town is a cheating place...

Fang Jun was upset, but there was no expression on his face, he still has this city.But as the saying goes, knowing a son is like a father, how can a father not understand what kind of character his own son has?

Fang Xuanling also thinks that Huating Town is a bit outrageous, and I don't know what His Majesty thinks... But he still has to enlighten Fang Jun, in case the son is stubborn and has a temper tantrum and causes any trouble, it will be a mistake. Regardless of decency, it is easier to be caught by someone with a heart.

He said in a deep voice: "Fire cooking oil is not a long-term solution. You are now the center of attention, and your words and deeds are in the eyes of others. You must know the principles of being humble and beautiful in order to be able to do well in the officialdom. "

Marrying a princess and a grand wedding, and now being promoted and promoted to a noble rank, it is inevitable that some jealous people will be jealous...

No matter how your Majesty bestows rewards, it is the dictatorship of the Sacred Heart. As a courtier, you can only be grateful and fulfill your duties. If you are dissatisfied and complain, isn't it because you have resentment towards the emperor and disrespect?

This charge is not serious, but given how much His Majesty regards Fang Jun now, he must laugh at it, noncommittal.It can be said that it is not small, and once it is on the scene, it will be turned out by others to attack and destroy it, and it will become a political stain.

This is the most basic way of being an official. Simply put, it is to try not to reveal the secrets to others as much as possible, and carefully manage one's reputation.

Only by raising hope can one be virtuous.

This is a method that is not easy for centuries in the officialdom...

……

Back in the back house, Princess Gao Yang sat on the chair, pouted, still unhappy.

Her Royal Highness the Princess was very dissatisfied with the fact that the father not only let Lang Jun restore his title, but even gave a joke-like Huating Town as a fief.

Wu Meiniang didn't go to the main hall in the front yard, but she heard the news that the servants in the palace came to deliver the imperial decree, and she knew the content of the imperial decree immediately. She has such a delicate heart, and seeing Princess Gaoyang's expression, she knew that this Highness is Why not happy.

I couldn't help laughing secretly in my heart, I really have the temperament of a child...

He became inexplicably happy.

Isn't it a blessing for a concubine to be such a dignified lady who is smart but doesn't have much scheming in the city?At least it won't be too difficult to get along with, and there is no need to intrigue and swindle all day long...

In fact, the difference between the two is only one year.But Wu Meiniang's family environment grew up under the bullying of her two half-brothers since she was a child. If she couldn't make plans every day, how could she survive in that family?

In terms of firmness of mind and cunning cunning, the two princesses of Gaoyang are also hard to match.

Xiuyu and Qiao'er took Fang Jun to clean their hands and wipe their face, Wu Meiniang sat next to Princess Gaoyang, and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, why are you not happy about your promotion?"

Princess Gaoyang's small face was tense, and she said in a muffled voice: "Father is too much, the title is just restored to its original position, that Huating Town, Uncle Han Wang said it is just a market town, I am afraid there are not many people, how can it be done?" To enshrine the title of Lord Lang?"

Seeing Princess Gaoyang's gloomy expression, Wu Meiniang couldn't help chuckling.

Princess Gao Yang said angrily: "I'm complaining about my lord, it's fine if Meiniang doesn't help me, why are you laughing?"

Wu Meiniang felt more and more that Princess Gaoyang was innocent and cute...

This kind of Princess Gaoyang, although she is a bit willful and stubborn, she only speaks and does things according to her heart without considering the consequences, but it is this kind of simplicity that Wu Meiniang does not have.Perhaps it is not without it, but it has long been obliterated by the bitter experience.

Gently pulling Princess Gao Yang's hand, Wu Meiniang said with a slight smile: "Why are you so anxious, Your Highness? Let me ask Your Highness, is Lang Jun, the General of Youwuwei, considered a high official?"

Princess Gao Yang thought for a while, and said: "It's not the Great General of Youwuwei. It's a big difference if one word is missing! But it's not low to be promoted to this official position just after becoming a son-in-law. Princess Linchuan's The son-in-law Zhou Daowu grew up freely in the palace, and he was highly valued by his father. He has been married for many years, and he is just General You Xiaowei who also serves as the governor of the Yingzhou. The position of the prince in charge of the affairs of the Canghai Road is much better than that of the governor of the Yingzhou."

Wu Meiniang said: "That's right, since that's the case, can it be said that Your Majesty holds Lang Jun in high regard?"

"It's natural."

"Then think about it again, Your Majesty, since His Majesty can even bestow such an important official position on Lang Jun, but only give him such a barren and narrow fiefdom?"

Princess Gao Yang blinked, and asked puzzledly: "Yes, why?"

Wu Meiniang laughed at Princess Gaoyang's adorable expression, and couldn't help but pinch Princess Gaoyang's smooth face.

Princess Gao Yang's expression froze, feeling that she was being treated lightly, she was a little ashamed, she glared and said: "I am a big woman, Mei Niang, you should respect it..."

"Yes yes yes, you are not only a lady, but also your highness, who dares to disrespect you?" Wu Meiniang was overjoyed, she said respect on her lips, but she naturally wrapped her arms around Princess Gaoyang's slender waist, very affectionately.

Princess Gao Yang felt that Wu Meiniang's actions were a little too much, but she didn't feel uncomfortable, but rather enjoyed it.She has a delicate personality, adores strong men, and yearns for profound wisdom.Wu Meiniang has a mature mind, and few people can match her shrewdness. Princess Gao Yang realizes that she is quite dependent on Wu Meiniang now.

At least he is very happy with Wu Meiniang's intimacy...

"Then tell me quickly, what is your father thinking?" Princess Gao Yang couldn't help asking.

Wu Meiniang showed a thoughtful look, and said softly: "Your Majesty's sacred heart is dictatorial, and his wisdom is unmatched. Every word, deed, and every action must have deep meaning. Where is Jiangnan? It is Jiangnan of the Jiangnan gentry. So arrogant and indulgent, isn't there still nothing to do with the Jiangnan gentry, and in the end he even obediently lived in Jiangdu to seek the help of the Jiangnan gentry? Lang Jun entered Jiangnan rashly, and wanted to turn Jiangnan into the base camp of His Majesty's Eastern Expedition, and he must mobilize the interests of the Jiangnan gentry It can be seen that a few days ago, the censor officials of the court and the central government gathered together to impeach Mr. Xianggong."

Princess Gao Yang listened attentively, and felt that Wu Meiniang had the demeanor of a female Zhuge at the moment...

Wu Meiniang didn't know what Princess Gaoyang was thinking, but she enjoyed her almost adoring gaze, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she continued: "Looking at the south of the Yangtze River, Hangzhou and Jianye are the foundations of the Jiangnan gentry. The aristocratic family has been operating for hundreds of years. Naturally, the forces are intertwined and bitter. If Mr. Lang wants to create a situation in the south of the Yangtze River, if he directly places it in a place where the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River is powerful, he will be hindered. How can we take advantage of the interests of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River? Huating Town belongs to Hangzhou, but it is remote and barren, which is exactly suitable for these two conditions."

Princess Gao Yang started, but she was still puzzled: "Why don't you just use Huating Town as the residence of the Canghai Road Chief Manager's Mansion, and confer the fief of Lord Lang in another rich and fertile land?"

What His Highness is thinking about is that the Lord's fief is too poor, and he feels unhappy...

Wu Meiniang smiled lightly, her eyes shining brightly: "According to Meiniang, the reason why His Majesty conferred Huating Township to Lang Jun instead of simply appointing it as the residence of the chief manager's mansion of Canghai Road is precisely because His Majesty wanted Lang Jun to release it." Just think about it, since it is Langjun's fiefdom, the appointment and dismissal of all officials in Huating Town is at the discretion of Langjun. Who can control it?"

Fang Jun, who was walking out of the back hall, stopped at the door for a long time. Hearing Wu Meiniang's words, he suddenly felt enlightened.I can't help but sigh that this is talent. Although the female emperor in history is probably gone, her outstanding political talent has not disappeared.It's just a pity that in the future, this talent can no longer be used in the court to guide the country and hold the world...

However, as the saying goes, what is lost is the east, and what is harvested is mulberry, maybe Wu Meiniang in this life can create a new world in another field.

At the same time, an idea popped up in Fang Jun's mind.
