Chapter 68 Chapter 68 The Realm of Success of "Confusion"

When a person's self-personality is formed, a whole set of value judgment system is formed, and he can know what is right, what is wrong, what is the most important, and what is insignificant.In this way, he lives in this world and can make choices that are beneficial to him. Value judgments are actually very simple to say, the first thing is to distinguish right from wrong.When we woke up in the morning, we were hungry. At this time, we had two choices: one was to pick up a knife and go out to grab food; the other was to pick up a hoe and farm by ourselves.The former is evil, the latter is good, anyone can make a clear choice.

However, in the latter choice, there will be more detailed sub-items.It is also like picking up a hoe and going to the field to farm. You can also grow corn and vegetables, but which crop can make the most money?Here, the further choice you make is the most typical value judgment. It may be that corn is more profitable, or vegetables are more profitable, but which one is really profitable depends on your research and judgment on the current situation. . But if you can't make a judgment on the current situation, so what? OK, congratulations, you are in a confused state of mind, you don't know what is right, what is wrong, what is valuable, let alone what is worthless.At this time, you will fall into extreme panic, at a loss for what to do, looking around, not knowing what to do.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the power minister Qin Hui was in power, and after brazenly killing the national hero Yue Fei, he negotiated peace with the Kingdom of Jin.The Kingdom of Jin promised to return the land north of the Yellow River to the Southern Song Dynasty. In addition, as a show of sincerity, the Kingdom of Jin also sent Empress Dowager Xianren, who was taken away by the Kingdom of Jin during the Jingkang Incident, back to the Southern Song Dynasty.Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, after learning the news that Empress Dowager Xianren was on the road, ordered Wang Ciweng, the political adviser, and Wei Yuan, the younger brother of Empress Dowager Xianren, to go to the border to meet her.

At this time, Empress Dowager Xianren was escorted by Jin soldiers from the Kingdom of Jin to the border of the Jin and Song Dynasties.But when the empress dowager was released, Jin Guo didn't pay severance pay, the old queen didn't have a single silver, she couldn't eat, she didn't have to drink, and she was complained by the soldiers escorted by Jin Guo.So the old lady borrowed three hundred stars of gold from the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin who escorted her, and promised to return double the gold as soon as she reached the border of Jin and Song Dynasties.The escort soldiers were overjoyed, so they asked the old lady to write the IOU, and everyone pooled up three hundred stars of gold and handed it over to the old lady.The old lady then gave the gold to the escorting soldiers and entrusted them to take care of their food and drink along the way.After a lot of tossing, eating and sleeping, he finally arrived at the border of the Jin and Song Dynasties smoothly, and met Wang Ciweng, the political counselor who came to greet him.

As soon as the two sides met, the soldiers escorted by the Kingdom of Jin asked Wang Ciweng to take out 600 stars of gold before handing over to the old lady.When Wang Ciweng heard this request, he was dumbfounded. You know, this Wang Ciweng is a political adviser, although he is the deputy prime minister, he has no financial power at all, so where can he get six hundred stars of gold? Moreover, although Wang Ciweng is very old, his brain has always remained at the stage of confusion, and he has not been able to evolve smoothly.In other words, this person has lived his whole life, but the value system in his heart has never been established, and he is confused and muddled when things happen.Although he is confused, he still has the right to eat, let alone his qualifications to be an official. You must know that in this world, the number of officials who are confused is far more than those who are clear-headed.Since he is confused, he must have no idea when encountering a situation, and he does not know how to make a decision.So the matter in front of him immediately made him dumbfounded.

The welcoming officials who came with Wang Ciweng discussed and said that welcoming the old lady is a more important matter than gold and silver. They should pay the gold soldiers six hundred stars of gold and take the old lady back first.Wang Ciweng just shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want to welcome the Queen Mother back, but that other officials didn't take responsibility for what they said. Once he made the decision to pay the gold, how would the money be used in the financial accounts after he returned?If it is not done well, when Song Gaozong turns his face and refuses to accept the account, then Wang Ciweng will have to pay for the money himself, but how can he afford it?

For a moment, Wang Ciweng couldn't make up his mind, so he just kept crying—all people who are not clear-headed and lack of opinions will definitely cry when they encounter trouble, because they really don't know what to do. Wang Ciweng didn't dare to make a decision, and the golden soldiers refused to return the old lady, so the two sides stalemate on the border.This stalemate lasted for half a month.For half a month, Song and Jin confronted each other on the border, and the courts of both sides were in chaos. The Jin State believed that the Southern Song Dynasty had reneged on the alliance, and the Southern Song Dynasty believed that the Jin State had reneged on the alliance. They both thought that the other party was preparing to attack themselves. Incredibly.The military generals on both sides must urgently mobilize troops and gear up to prepare for the big battle.

At this juncture, an official named Wang Ying rushed to the border, and after asking about the situation, he almost didn't get his nose crooked.This Wang Ciweng was obviously out of his mind, and for the mere 600 stars of gold, he insisted on letting the old lady stay in the hands of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin for another half a month.In the past half a month, if there were any accidents, then Wang Ciweng's few heads would not be enough to cut off.Annoyed, Wang Ying took out 600 stars of gold by himself, and finally bought the old queen back from the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin.

The old empress Xianren finally came back, Qin Hui hurriedly summoned Wang Ciweng, and asked what was going on and why it took so long.Qin Hui was dumbfounded by Wang Ciweng's answer.He said: "When you left, you didn't ask me to pay, Mr. Xiang." Hearing Wang Ciweng's words, Qin Hui finally came to his senses. Wang Ciweng really had a problem with his mind. The leader didn't say what he was going to do, and he didn't know how to make impromptu decisions. Just about to get angry, Qin Hui suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.He realized that it was this brainless Wang Ciweng who saved him. If Wang Ciweng had a little scheming, he would immediately pay six hundred stars of gold to please the Empress Dowager Xianren, and then he would work harder on the road, then he would In Emperor Zhao Gou's heart, he has a place in his heart, and he will inevitably fight against Qin Hui in the future. Maybe, if the two fight in the future, whoever will win may lose.

In fact, Qin Hui chose Wang Ciweng to be in charge of this work because he lacked a clear and clear sense of value judgment in his mind.Look at Wang Ciweng, Qin Hui sent the power to him, he didn't realize it, but cried for half a month because of the six hundred stars of gold, this kind of person... Qin Hui finally figured out what was going on.In the palace, Empress Dowager Xianren, who had been wronged for half a month, was furious, and accused Wang Ciweng of his infidelity to Emperor Zhao Gou.Zhao Gou was furious, and immediately delivered an order to behead Wang Ciweng.But Qin Hui hastily stepped forward to stop him, he couldn't bear to kill Wang Ciweng, this person is so heartless, he still has great use.

Qin Hui sent Wang Ciweng to the Kingdom of Jin again, and this time he really had another party.Although all the envoys from the Southern Song Dynasty to the Kingdom of Jin were extremely smart, none of them could take advantage of the negotiations with the Kingdom of Jin due to the strength of the Jin Dynasty and the weakness of the Song Dynasty. ", and was exiled to Bianhuang.This time Qin Hui sent Wang Ciweng, but this man was so confused that he didn't dare to make up his mind about anything, he just kept crying at the Jin people, which made them helpless as they didn't know what to do with him. Wang Ciweng's "return with honor" finally made Song Gaozong feel relieved, but he still hated this person.There are so many smart people in the court who can't do things, but he, a foolish person, can do it. What do you call this!In order to avoid the trouble of Song Gaozong looking for Wang Ciweng to kill him, Qin Hui racked his brains and went through the retirement procedures for Wang Ciweng, so that Wang Ciweng could go home to retire.Moreover, Qin Hui would send gifts to Wang Ciweng's house every year since then, worrying that Wang Ciweng would lack food and clothing.Later, Wang Ciweng died of old age, and Qin Hui asked Song Gaozong to provide compensation, and arranged official positions for Wang Ciweng's sons. According to the history books, Qin Hui was treacherous and treacherous. I don't know how many officials in the imperial court suffered from his schemes, but he was very attentive and caring to Wang Ciweng, and he was always kind to him for twenty years.In order to curry favor with Qin Hui, other officials did not hesitate to call Qin Hui his father, but they still couldn't get Qin Hui's favor.But Wang Ciweng just took up a confusing word, because he never dared to make up his mind when things happen, but Qin Hui took a look at him, and almost wanted to treat him like a father.The reason is that people who are in a confused state of mind are also indifferent to power struggles.As Lao Tzu said, the husband is the only one who does not fight, so no one in the world can compete with him.It was precisely because Wang Ciweng was indisputable that he got everything. However, Wang Ciweng is not invincible, he just doesn't know how to fight.In the officialdom, knowing how to fight and not fighting is a state, but this state is far less likely to impress people than not knowing how to fight at all.If a person can even impress the traitor Qin Hui, then in this world, wouldn't he be able to get whatever he wants? Therefore, those who are in a state of confusion, must not feel sorry for themselves. As the ancients said, there is no evil in teaching, and you can stand among tigers and wolves.In an officialdom that is fighting for power and profit, your confusion is the greatest advantage. No one is willing to give up on you and choose a more savvy colleague. This constitutes the inevitable prerequisite for your success in life.
