Chapter 22 Chapter 22 The Law of Diffusion Effects in Officialdom

All the people in the officialdom have a common depression: they often don't get positive affirmation when they do a good job. No matter how good their performance is, the news about this matter can never be passed on.All the colleagues seem to be in one mind, shut their mouths tightly, and try their best to block the news that is beneficial to you. Conversely, if you do something wrong, often before you understand it, it will cause a sensation in the whole world, even people who have nothing to do with the matter have heard about it, and almost everyone is talking about it endlessly You, it seems like bad news has a natural affinity for people.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.This phenomenon is the law of spreading bad news in officialdom.The reason is that all people compete for interests in the officialdom, and this kind of competition even spreads to the social arena, even your friends secretly compare with you in their hearts, your success means the failure of others, at least it is a kind of failure. Silent humiliation, that's why everyone keeps silent about the good news.And the mistakes you make, or things that may lead to your failure in life, this is great news for colleagues and friends who are secretly competing with you, and of course everyone will become excited about it .

In ancient times, there was a man named Chen Dong who was an official in Suzhou. A prisoner was sentenced to exile, so Chen Dong ordered people to tattoo the word "special stabbing" on the criminal's face.After the stabbing was finished, the colleagues shook their heads and objected: "This statement is wrong. How can we use special stabs to match the tattoo on the criminal's face? It should be corrected." Chen Dong was confused by his colleagues and immediately ordered a revision. The three characters already tattooed on the prisoner's face were changed to "according to the law..." and the prisoner's face was tattooed again.As a result, this incident spread and became a big joke. In the future, whenever Chen Dong competed for promotion, everyone would say: "Isn't this Chen Dong the one who drew drafts on other people's faces?" Now, the possibility of Chen Dong's promotion in this life basically no longer exists.

Chen Dong's mistake has become the handle of his life.So it is not scary to make mistakes in the officialdom, but you are afraid that the mistakes you make are so strange that they happen to be caught in people's hands and you can't let them go even if you want to, then you will be miserable. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, all the emperors were the grassroots, so in order to overwhelm others, people at that time tried their best to show off their family background, and they were proud of those who came from the family.However, all the real aristocratic families have been burned in the fire of war, so those who claim to be from aristocratic families are all telling lies.

When the small empire of the Later Tang Dynasty was established, Li Cunxu, Emperor Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, chose the queen from among his concubines. A concubine surnamed Liu claimed that she was from a family, so Concubine Liu became Queen Liu.But she never thought that just as she moved her butt onto the queen's throne, an old country man picking up excrement came outside the gate of the palace. It turned out to be Empress Liu's own father.Seeing this situation, Empress Liu knew that her own father would never be recognized. If she recognized her father, not to mention the Queen's position, even her life would be in danger, so she turned her face and insisted that the old man was a liar and wanted to be taken by others. The stick drove the father out.

But Zhuang Zong Li Cunxu saw this trick of Empress Liu, and it was like a mirror in his heart.And Li Cunxu's heart is also bad. He first arranged a play secretly with actors, and then asked Empress Liu to come out to enjoy it.After Empress Liu came out, she sat down and took a look. This play was about her denial of her biological father after she became rich and honored, which made Empress Liu feel ashamed.Fortunately, this small empire of the later Tang Dynasty was quickly wiped out, otherwise, based on this incident alone, Empress Liu would die under the criticism of the harem sooner or later.

In fact, Empress Liu's crimes have been going on for nearly a thousand years, and they are still talked about by the people. There are at least a few plays about this matter that are still sung among the people to satirize people like Empress Liu.Therefore, in the officialdom, one should be as careful as possible to avoid making mistakes, but the competition of interests is everywhere, and the officialdom is full of traps. Sometimes, even if you have both wings in your ribs, you still can't escape. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a student named Gengtai who was a deep-rooted man in the city. No matter what his colleagues said, he would just say three words: "Isn't it?" , Jin Long is funny by nature and loves to joke, so he deliberately came to chat with Gengtai.

Jin Long said, "It's really cold today!" Gengtai replied: "No." Jin Long said: "It's getting cold, and when the officials went to court, they all added some cotton clothes." Gengtai replied: "No." In this way, the two of them came and went, no matter what Jin Long said, Gengtai always responded to all changes with the same, just three words "isn't it" is enough to deal with it.This situation made Jin Long unable to speak out and got angry. He deliberately said a few more innocuous words, and when Gengtai got used to the answer, he suddenly mentioned an important minister in the court and said, "I heard people say He has Long Yang addiction (homosexuality)..." Geng Tai blurted out: "That's not true."

It's over, as soon as these words were uttered, Gengtai woke up like a dream, and wanted to make up for it, but it was too late, and the colleagues gathered around him had already rushed away, telling Gengtai that the important minister had a habit of Longyang When the matter was told, the important minister was extremely ashamed and cursed Gengtai on the spot.Since then, whenever Gengtai's promotion was involved, the important ministers stood in front of him, so that Gengtai never raised his head for the rest of his life. These few incidents are all very small, very small details, but they have ruined the future of the person concerned.Whether in the officialdom or in the workplace, the situation is like this, but any small mistake you make will be exaggerated to the point of being out of shape.Many people in officialdom have ruined their lives in this way, often without even a chance to defend themselves.

In the novel, when Lin Daiyu first entered Jia's house, her family gave her a piece of advice: don't take a wrong step, don't say a wrong word.This is certainly a sinister element, but in fact, the Jia family is a huge group in essence, and the game rules of the group play a role naturally, and if there is a slight mistake, it is often lost.People who don't know this law can't control their own future, let alone their own destiny, and can only be reduced to a grass in the officialdom, trampled by others, and never have a bright future.
