Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Official Trap Four: Rejection of Habits and Hobbies

During the Tongzhi period, there was a military aircraft officer surnamed Wang named Wang Ke. He was humorous and loved to joke. One day, when Wang Ke went to court, he forgot to bring the court beads, so he borrowed them from his good friend Wang Guoliang.Wang Guoliang went into the room and took out a string of court beads, and said: "This string of court beads is not mine, but my wife's. My court beads are not suitable for you to wear, so use my wife's court beads to deal with it." Wang Ke took it Chaozhu was about to express his gratitude when he suddenly remembered an interesting incident, so he smiled and said: "A string of one hundred and eight Muni beads will still carry the fragrance of pink flowers when you return."

This poem by Wang Keyin was a joke in the officialdom at that time.Many years ago, the daughter of an official's family had an affair with the prime minister at that time, and she was deeply in love with each other, so she presented this poem.Wang Ke chanted it at this time, just to make a joke with Wang Guoliang, because everyone has a good relationship, so there is no taboo in speaking. But it never occurred to him that Wang Guoliang's complexion changed drastically as soon as Wang Ke's poem came out. He rushed into the room, grabbed a kitchen knife, rushed out, and slashed at Wang Ke head-on.Surprised, Wang Ke turned around and fled wildly. Wang Guoliang chased him all the way, fell down several times, and almost escaped being hacked to death.

Although Wang Ke escaped with his life, Wang Guoliang still refused to give up. He held a kitchen knife and blocked the door of Wang Ke's house day and night, making Wang Ke dare not even go home.Wang Ke was just making a joke, how could Wang Guoliang be so angry? Wang Ke inquired carefully and finally understood.It turned out that the official lady who sang that poem many years ago was Wang Guoliang's mother. The Wang family had always been ashamed of this, and those who knew the matter dared not mention it in front of him. It was just a small joke that caused such a big mess, which was beyond Wang Ke's expectation.If you look into it carefully, it has a lot to do with his informal and joking personality.

Everyone has their own unique personality, some people are born serious, some people are born smiling, some people are used to step by step, some people are used to informality, some people like to sing, some people like to dance, some people are intoxicated Among the vulgar tastes, some people prefer more refined things.But these details often affect a person's future and destiny. Generally speaking, it is somewhat safer for a person to be cautious than to be informal.However, since the rules of promotion in the officialdom depend on the evolution of the overall game situation, even bad habits may not necessarily bring about bad results; good habits may not necessarily lead to good results.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the county magistrate of Yiyang County in Jiangxi Province was named Shen Shusheng. This man had a very bad reputation in the officialdom, because he lingered in brothels all day long and was reluctant to leave. His wise colleagues did not dare to get too close to him, lest they would be punished in the future. implicated.Shen Shusheng himself knew this, so he broke his cans and even moved his office to a brothel. But the brothel was doing business well, and the county magistrate suddenly moved in to work, scaring many customers away from coming.The owner of the brothel dared not speak out, so he made a plan to coax Shen Shusheng: "My lord, do you know that there is a brothel in our county? I heard that they have a few new beautiful chicks..." Shen Shusheng heard the words Overjoyed, he immediately said: "That's good, I will move to work there." Immediately ordered the yamen servant to hold the stick and beat the gong, and happily went to another brothel.

When I arrived at the entrance of the brothel, I found that the door was closed tightly, and there was a strange sound coming from inside. Shen Shusheng was very annoyed, so he ordered the servant to shout loudly: "Open the door, open the door, the county magistrate is here..." The roar did not stop, and suddenly there were several thumps. , unexpectedly there were a few burly men jumping over the wall and fleeing. They were caught one by one by troublesome government officials and dragged to Shen Shusheng. Before Shen Shusheng could speak, he heard those people stalking their necks and bursting out laughing : "Officer dog, you came so fast, I fell into your hands today, it is my bad luck. Twenty years later, I will be a good man again."

Shen Shusheng was confused, what is this?Send the yamen servants in to search, good guy, I saw that there are many strange treasures hidden in this brothel, and most of them are imperial items in the palace.It turned out that this group of big guys had just escaped here after committing an earth-shattering robbery case, and before they could catch their breath after entering the brothel, Shen Shusheng led all the yamen servants to arrive.Rao, those flying thieves are so skilled, how could they have thought that there would be a county magistrate working in a brothel in this world?In the end, because they were too hasty, the thieves confessed before they were tortured, and Shen Shusheng made a great contribution inexplicably.

Therefore, Shen Shusheng was rewarded by the court for his meritorious service in catching the robbers, and was promoted to Sima. A few years later, he was promoted to Changlu Salt Transport Envoy, in charge of the salt administration in Hebei and Shandong areas. This story tells us that officialdom is not about reason, only rules.No matter how bad a person's quality is, if coincidence and law collide with each other, they will naturally succeed.But no matter how noble your moral character is, if your style of doing things does not match the rules, you have no chance. That being the case, how do a person's habits and hobbies affect his success in life?

To put it bluntly, it is not good habits that will determine your success.Habits and hobbies are a person's style. Once your habits and hobbies are accepted by the officialdom, this becomes your mark, and people can classify you qualitatively by this mark. To put it bluntly, people in the officialdom will form different power camps according to their personal habits and hobbies. Last stream.If your habits and hobbies are unfortunately close to the camp of weak and low-ranking forces, then no matter how you express yourself, it will be in vain.But if your habits and hobbies are close to the dominant mainstream camp, doing things will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a member of the Military Aircraft Department, Bayan San, who was cowardly and incompetent, as timid as a mouse, and had low intelligence and no special skills.His colleagues despised him and were unwilling to be with him.And this Bayan San also has a strange habit, that is, whenever he steps into the threshold, he always squats his body first like a eunuch. . According to the history books, at the beginning, the eunuchs also hated Bayan San’s habit, thinking that this guy was mocking the eunuchs, but after a long time, they found that Bayan San was really stupid to the point of being stupid, so everyone accepted it. over him.One night, a horse from Babailijia hurried to Beijing and reported that there was a war in the Western Regions.Emperor Qianlong hurriedly got up from the dragon bed and asked who was on duty in the Military Aircraft Department.The only person on duty, Bayan San, rushed over immediately, knelt outside Qianlong's window, and waited for Qianlong's instructions through the window.

After Qianlong gave instructions, he got into bed and fell asleep again, but Bayan San was paralyzed on the spot, not daring to move.The little eunuch came over to ask him what was going on, only to find that Bayan San was paralyzed from fright, because he didn't remember a word of what Qianlong said just now, and he didn't know what to do.At this time, the young eunuchs moved with compassion, helped Bayan San, and wrote a memorial for Bayan San.It was handed over to Qianlong the next day.Qianlong opened the memorial and saw that he became angry immediately. He immediately called the personnel from the Military Aircraft Department and cursed: "There are still such talents in the Military Aircraft Department, but you are so suppressed by you. I have known for a long time that you and I It is not of one mind. Pass the decree and grant Bayan San the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi." Just so inexplicably, Bayan San was promoted because of a strange habit.This seems to be extremely accidental, but in fact it is precisely because his habits happen to be close to the dominant mainstream forces in the DPRK. It is difficult for people who do not know this rule to understand this kind of thing.
