Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Official Opportunity Nine: Taking Advantage of the Opponent

Above the officialdom, the roots are intertwined. Young people who are new to the officialdom are the most taboo to make grudges with others.If this happens, it will probably mean the end of a young man's career.However, the laws of the game of human nature are based on the superficial situation, and this means that nothing can be generalized.Even if it is a perfectly reasonable thing that falls on the officialdom, once there is a change in the situation, new tricks will be found. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Qin Hui was in control of the government, and all the officials were silent like cicadas, daring not to challenge him a little bit.Only one official named Wang Che didn't take Qin Hui seriously. Qin Hui hated him very much, so he deliberately asked him to come to the capital, saying that he would be promoted, and asked him what kind of official he wanted to be.Wang Che knew that Qin Hui had been offended, but he still didn't take it seriously, he just claimed that he was willing to go back to his hometown Raozhou.Qin Hui was so angry that he deliberately let him go to Yuanzhou.Yuanzhou is located in a remote area, sparsely populated, and the towns are desolate. Wang Che is very dissatisfied.It happened that Qin Hui's accomplice, Wan Qixi, was passing through Yuanzhou, so Wang Che went to see Wan Qixi, and cursed Qin Hui in front of him.He thought that since Wan Qixie and Qin Hui were in the same party, he would definitely tell Qin Hui what he said, and maybe Qin Hui would kill himself when he got angry.It can be seen that Wang Che has already gone all out and ignored so many things at all.

But I never expected that Wang Che's scolding of Qin Hui in front of Wan Qixi would actually arouse Wan Qixi's strong affection, and Wan Qixi also scolded with Wang Che, scolding harder than Wang Che, even worse. ugly.It turned out that although Wan Qixi and Qin Hui belonged to the same party and jointly designed and killed the national hero Yue Fei, Qin Hui was old and cunning and took charge of the government. The one who hates Qin Hui the most is actually Wan Qixie.It's just that all the ministers regard the two of them as one party, so who has the guts to scold Qin Hui in front of him?In such an environment, Wan Qixi did not dare to scold Qin Hui himself.Now that I have come to Yuanzhou, I have met a bosom friend, and Wan Tuxi is indescribably happy.

So Wan Qixi invited Wang Che to drink, counted Qin Hui's oppression on him, and actually shed tears while talking. Wang Che was flustered by the situation, so he had to comfort the treacherous minister instead.From then on, Wan Qixi regarded Wang Che as a close friend in his life. As soon as he returned to the capital, he wrote a letter to the court, urging Wang Che to be reused.Of course Qin Hui wanted to come forward to stop him. Wan Qixi lied to Qin Hui and said, "Nowadays, the court says that you reject dissidents and reuse private individuals. This Wang Che is your enemy, but in fact, there has never been any gap with you. Why don't you reuse and promote him?" How about showing your generosity in front of the Son of Heaven?"

Qin Hui was overjoyed, and immediately wrote a letter, urging the court to reuse Wang Che. At this time, Wang Che already knew the secrets of officialdom and political disputes, and knew that he was safe under such circumstances no matter what.So he deliberately wrote a letter, scolding Qin Hui's monopoly and wronging the country, saying that he would never accept Qin Hui's recommendation.Although Qin Hui hated Wang Che to the bone, but in order to show his generosity, he had no choice but to swallow his teeth. The harder Wang Che scolded, the more actively he recommended Wang Che. In this way, inexplicably, Wang Che became the only upright person in the court. He dared to say what the officials dared not say, and dared to scold Qin Hui for disorderly government. Che looked at him with admiration.So Wang Che was promoted quickly without any dispute, and soon became a political counselor.Counting the years in which he was promoted to this position, it took only seven years.The most important thing is that at this moment, everyone in the imperial court knows that Wang Che has a clean sleeve and a straight and strong frame, and they respect him very much.When Qin Hui died, he once again became a figure that Song Gaozong relied heavily on.

Wang Che's official career was prosperous, which was a great coincidence.It was only because he accidentally bumped into a gap in the officialdom struggle, and his actions conformed to the operation of laws and regulations, so he got away with it.But it is inevitable that such a thing will happen.Once we understand the rules of the game in officialdom, we can easily find opportunities for ourselves in practice. "Modern Barnyard Sea" records such a story: During the period of the Republic of China, shortly after the establishment of various government departments, all kinds of people flocked in, and many unlearned and incompetent people mingled among them only by nepotism.Among them, there is a man named Zhou Haifeng, who was originally an illiterate villager in the countryside. He relied on his sister to work as a nanny in a high-ranking official's house, and got a small job.No one in the same Yasi dared to argue with him.

One day, a small employee surnamed Qiu had a confrontation with Zhou Haifeng. Although the incident was not serious, Zhou was furious, yelling, and went to his superiors to make a fuss, and he must fire Qiu Sheng.The boss held back his anger and agreed.Then the boss called Qiu Sheng and explained his grievance and pressure, which meant that Qiu Sheng should be more sensible and walk by himself.But Qiu Sheng said with a smile: "It's okay, you don't have to be afraid of him, I don't think he'll be around for a few days." Hearing this, the boss was terrified. Things weighed down.Sure enough, within a few days, there was news that a senior official's nanny had eloped with a servant.Someone from the police station took Zhou Haifeng away, and tortured him, not to mention it.

After this happened, the boss couldn't help giving Qiu Sheng a high look, and gave Zhou Haifeng the seat to Qiu Sheng.Later, someone asked Qiu Sheng, how did he know that the nanny of the senior official's family fled privately with money?Qiu Sheng smiled but did not answer.The person who wrote this article first suspected that Qiu Sheng had secretly connected with senior officials.But it took a long time to realize that in fact, the real relationship with Qiu Sheng was the servant who eloped with the nanny.By chance, Qiu Sheng heard a servant bragging to others in a teahouse, saying that he had secretly had an affair with a woman from a high-ranking official's family. Colliding, intentionally let Zhou Haifeng humiliate himself.The purpose is to highlight himself through Zhou Haifeng's rudeness. Once Zhou Haifeng loses power, the boss will definitely consider himself when considering new candidates.

Qiu Sheng's calculation is not shrewd.And he is also familiar with the rules and regulations in the officialdom.Although his methods are not glorious, there are some things in it that are worth thinking about. To study the thick black law of exploiting the opponent's success, you must be careful not to let yourself go to the point of being a despicable person.In the officialdom in ancient times, there were indeed people who observed the situation. Once they found that someone was about to lose power, they would deliberately look for opportunities to fight with them, deliberately highlighting their integrity, and when the other party lost power, they naturally waited for themselves Opportunity.This method is far less effective than gaining insight into the secret movements within the officialdom, staying out of the matter, and sitting and watching competitors get out of the game while ensuring that one's reputation is not affected.
