Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Application of "tribute"

The ancients said: Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty.The superficial meaning of this sentence is: a man with nothing and a house is safe, but a rich man is naturally sinful.This shows that there are too many people coveting his money.And the deep meaning of this sentence is: a mediocre person with no ambition will not be criticized, but a capable person will become a target because of his ability. These words are the most typical legal rational interpretation of the traditional secular logic of "winners and losers".The Chinese evaluate a person not by how his behavior promotes the benign laws of society, not by whether he has brought good influence, but by whether he has the power to cause harm to himself.If the other party takes the law of violence as the standard, then follow it unconditionally; if the other party is a political loser, then beat him unconditionally.

This kind of value standard of secular judgment defines the most clear and practical rule for our philosophy of drilling: drilling is right, drilling is right, drilling when you see a hole is right, drilling hard even if there is no hole, what’s more right .But if you fail to get in, if you fail, then you are at fault. During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a man named Jin Anqing who was good at drilling camps. After some activities in the capital, this man even said that all the officials in the court were willing to say good things about him in front of the emperor, but he missed the most important minister of military affairs Wen Xiang .As a result, Xianfeng was promoted to the palace, and all the ministers recommended Jin Anqing one after another. Xianfeng asked Wen Xiang: "What is this man named Jin Anqing?" He lowered his face and said: "How can you get someone with a wicked mind?" Immediately, Jin Anqing was repelled.

If the official is not appointed, the consequences will be very serious.Immediately, someone made trouble and reported Jin Anqing's malpractice for personal gain, so the imperial court issued an order to dismiss Jin Anqing from his post, send him to his hometown, and hand him over to the local officials for strict supervision, and he will never be used again.Jin Anqing carried the luggage roll, returned to his hometown excitedly, ran straight to the county government office, and went to the county magistrate's desk, spread out the roll roll and went to sleep.The magistrate was horrified and asked him why he slept here.Jin Anqing said with a smile: "The imperial court has an order to let you take strict care of me. If I don't sleep by your side, how can you take care of me?" After entering, the county magistrate couldn't get rid of him, so he had no choice but to humbly promise to give Jin Anqing a thousand taels of silver every year, and Jin Anqing then moved the bedroll out of the county government.

A Lai Pi official who was relegated to the public was forced to know that the county had nowhere to go. It can be seen that Jin Anqing's insight and mastery of the internal laws of the officialdom is really extraordinary.If it wasn't for his mistakes in drilling operations, this person's toss would be indispensable on the stage of history. It can be said that the main reason why many people fail in drilling is the lack of a scientific spirit of seeking truth from facts and a serious attitude towards drilling.The ups and downs of life, the fame and wealth, and the brilliant career of the husband and wife all depend on the effect of the pursuit.However, many people are foolish, they are neither professional nor serious, leaving a joke and hurting themselves.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Zeng Bu was the prime minister, and he fought fiercely with his political enemies Cai Jing and Cai Bian brothers.So a group of literati came out and wrote a letter to Zeng Bu, saying: "When the boat goes to the country, the praise is only from the Zengmen; the stick is back, and the footprints are not from the Cai family." So Zeng Bu was overjoyed and promoted the scribes to reuse.Not long after, Zeng Bu lost to the joint efforts of the Cai brothers, and was kicked out of the court and demoted to the south. The scribe immediately wrote a letter to Cai Bian, saying: "The towel is returned to the court, and the praise and salty belong to the Cai family; the boat goes to the country, and a word is not as good as Zeng's." The door." Cai Bian took the letter and looked at it, his nose was crooked at that time, and said: "Didn't this change the letter to Zeng Bu and send it to me again? Why is this person so perfunctory?" ?”

This scribe has the right way to drill, the skills are also good, and the goal is not wrong. The only thing is that he lacks the professional attitude of serious drilling, which is really deplorable. On the other hand, Guan Huai, an old courtier during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, had a wealthy family, worshiped Sima as an official, and got himself a Jinshi through his connections. However, because he could not read, many people rejected him.But Guan Huai was unmoved and stuck to his official position until his later years.In his later years, he limped, so he limped up to the court. The prince of the royal family saw that he was angry, so he stopped him on the way to court, and said: "You have something wrong with your brain. You have so much money at home, and you still can't go to the storehouse." , What are you doing to block the young people's official career?"

Afterwards, Guan Huai moved out of his magnificent mansion and rented a small and dilapidated dwelling outside, claiming that this was his home.The emperor sent a courtier to visit him, and Guan Huai invited the guests to sit on the small kang. There was no paper on the windows, and the cold wind blew in.There was no fire in the room, and it was extremely cold, but Guan Huai was wearing shabby single clothes.At that time, the courtier was so angry that he scolded: "Guan Huai, you have risked even your own old bones just for a humble official position!" Guan Huai lowered his head and cried, "I am ashamed. , penniless, and hope for forgiveness.”

The minister went back and reported the situation to Emperor Jiaqing. Emperor Jiaqing wondered: "How can I be so unlucky to have such a hob meat on the stall? If he is dismissed as an official, wouldn't I bear the notoriety of forcing the old minister to death?" Otherwise, see if you can promote him again, and persuade him with kind words, if he is willing to go home by himself, I would rather let him be promoted three levels in a row." At Guan Huai's level, he has already cultivated into the invincible body of King Kong.He followed the path of the emperor, took the route of the upper class, and used unscrupulous means.Anyone who meets him, if he doesn't promote him quickly, will really feel that he is too cruel, too vicious, and too inhuman.

There is another person who is more ruthless. This person is from the Southern and Northern Dynasties. His surname is Yuan, his name is Ang, and his character is Qianli.In his early years, he followed Xiao Baojuan, Marquis of Eastern Hun in the Southern Qi Dynasty. After Xiao Baojuan died, he followed Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan, and became a minister. Once, when Emperor Wu of Liang saw Yuan Ang, he couldn't help but said affectionately: "I still remember when I first met you, you were full of black hair, and your hair was majestic and heroic. In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and your hair has turned gray. Time really doesn’t forgive people. Thinking back to when you were young, I didn’t use you until you were old, and I really feel guilty.” Yuan Ang said with a smile: “Your Majesty is poor, I’m forty this year Seven years old, but following His Majesty, it was only seven years. For the first forty years, I was groping in the dark, and I was reborn only when I met Your Majesty. To be honest, I am only seven years old, and I am still young."

Seven-year-old Shangshu, this is the highest state of drilling.But not only the old seniors who have gone through the ups and downs of the officialdom, it is difficult for young people to cultivate to this level.This is because, only after years of vicissitudes, the old people in the officialdom know how important this tiny position is to themselves.And the young people are arrogant, and they refuse to bow their noble heads. This is tantamount to creating a big problem for the officialdom. You young people must be proud and be an official. It is difficult for the person in power to be in the previous life. your?

But having said that, young people's skins are too tender, and it is really difficult to make them flatter them.But young people also have wisdom that applies to themselves, which is a word "chong".
