Chapter 13 Second, strike

After the recruiting meeting ended, Liu Che straightened his mind, let go of his hands and feet, and prepared to do a big job. There is a saying, don't look too far and forget the stones under your feet.At this time, there was an old stubborn stone blocking Liu Che's feet.This old stubborn stone is the blind old woman, Empress Dowager Dou. Liu Che thought that he was young and courageous, and there was nothing he couldn't do, and there was nothing he couldn't do.As the saying goes, we have to go as far as our thoughts go. Facts have proved that boldness alone cannot accomplish great things.Because young, so easy to radical.Once a person is radical, it is easy to do wrong things.To accomplish great things, one must possess wisdom.This wisdom is political skill.During Liu Che's political career, an old man taught him what real politics is and what is real artifice.

This old man is, of course, Empress Dowager Dou.The first trick Liu Che learned from Queen Mother Dou was a life principle that never fails: the future is bright, but the road is tortuous. Originally, Empress Dowager Dou's days were not long.She also wants to spend her old age with peace of mind, with as little trouble as possible.It is of course a good thing to be able to save some days.However, now she had to put aside Lao Zhuang's philosophy and free up her hands to teach Liu Che a lesson. The reason why Empress Dowager Dou was willing to take action was because Liu Che was too outrageous and ignorant of flattery.This is all because Liu Che dismissed two important figures, who happened to belong to Empress Dowager Dou;

The first person Liu Che dismissed was Prime Minister Wei Wan. Wei Wan was born in Daling (now Wenshui County, Shanxi).Human characteristics: honest and honest, low-key.Specialties: Excellent arm strength, good driving skills, and can even perform acrobatics while driving. Facts have proved that people with special skills can find good jobs.Back then, Liu Heng was working on a second job in Daidi, and Wei Wan was qualified to escort Daiwang by virtue of his superb driving skills.Later, Liu Heng returned to the central government to become the emperor, and Wei Wan was worshiped as a general of Zhonglang because of his meritorious service in escorting.

When Liu Qi was the crown prince, he hosted many banquets for Liu Heng and Wei Wan, and Wei Wan was one of them.However, every time Wei Wan heard that Liu Qi was going to call him, she always said that she was sick. Oh, the crown prince doesn't even come to treat guests. Is it too much face, or does he look down on me?Liu Qi has remembered him ever since. Liu Heng didn't know if he saw any signs of Liu Qi.Before he died, he deliberately confessed to Liu Qi: Wei Wan is a kind person, after I die, it is absolutely safe to let him drive for you.Don't kick people out of their jobs just because I'm not here.

If it weren't for Liu Heng's words, Liu Qi really wanted to kick Wei Wan out of office immediately.However, the first emperor had something to say first, so at least he should give him some face.So after Liu Heng's death, Liu Qi didn't let Wei Wan be laid off, neither promoted nor demoted, neither hot nor cold, just lived like that. It wasn't until a year after Liu Heng's death that Liu Qi's view of Wei Wan suddenly changed 180 degrees.What made Liu Qi admire Wei Wan was that he was serious about his work and willing to work hard. It is said that the racing driver's sports car's skill is mostly reflected in the handling of corners.As an excellent driver, Wei Wan is quite different from her predecessors.

Back then, Xia Houying drove like a wild crane in the clouds, and his unrestrained vigor is beyond words.Even if the sky is falling apart, he still takes his time and calmly faces it.As a result, he never once prevented Liu Bang from escaping his opponent's pursuit. If we want to divide the genres, Xia Houying should be the romantic school, while Wei Wan is the realistic school.As a person who was born in car acrobatics, Wei Wan clearly knew that tricks are not done by tricks, but by practice.Therefore, he cherishes the opportunity to take up a job that earns a penny for every penny of his strength.

So, in the past year, even though Liu Qi treated him in a nonchalant manner, he became more and more active and cautious.The complaints are stuffy, the smile is on the face, the buttocks are light, the errands are more, a full professionalism and attitude. Liu Qi has long eyes.When he saw Wei Wan's appearance as a model worker, he couldn't help sighing.It seems that the first emperor's evaluation of Wei Wan is quite pertinent.Hey, let's forget about those things in the past, it's not easy to look at others. So, taking advantage of an opportunity, Liu Qi called Wei Wan to accompany him and went hunting together in Shanglinyuan.

After hunting back, Liu Qi asked Wei Wan: Do you know why you were my escort? Wei Wan was stunned for a moment, and replied: I only know that it is my duty to accompany His Majesty.I really don't know about things outside of my duties. Heh, people are not stupid, they pretend to be stupid.Liu Qi asked again: Let me ask you, when I was the prince, I invited you to drink many times, why didn't you come? Wei Wan was taken aback again, he seemed to understand something.It turned out that Liu Qi hadn't talked nonsense with him for a year, so that was what he was thinking about.Could it be that His Majesty is going to drag him out to demonstrate in the cool breeze today?

Thinking of this, Wei Wan's heart went cold.He immediately kowtowed and replied: I deserve to die, Your Majesty, please forgive me, I was really sick at that time if I didn't go to Your Majesty's banquet. When Liu Qi heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry.Wei Wan, Wei Wan, thank you for being an honest person, you have the nerve to say that you can't come because you are sick.It's not that I only invite you once or twice, and you don't come if I invite you many times. Are you really the only person in the world who can get sick on time? However, Liu Qi still let Wei Wan go.

Not for anything else, if such a small matter can be made a big deal, it will really hurt the emperor's stomach.Besides, Wei Wan also pleaded guilty.That being the case, let him do more work in the future to atone for his crime. In this way, Wei Wan's carriage bypassed the dangerous section and ran onto the expressway. Later, Wei Wan's performance at work made Liu Qi feel that he was a talent to be created.First of all, Wei Wan is very honest and loyal, which is very important; secondly, Wei Wan is very good at being a human being.If his subordinates have made mistakes, he will take the initiative to bear them; if he has made achievements, he will humbly pass them on to others.Take pride in helping others, and be ashamed at harming others and gaining selfishness. The whole one is a good person and a moral model.

What is the best job for such a good old man with both ability and political integrity?Liu Qi had already made up his mind that the work of the Tai Tuo belonged to him.Therefore, Liu Qixian moved Wei Wan to be Hejian Wang Taifu. Later, Wei Wan's carriage drove furiously on the highway, and the spring breeze was triumphant: Liu Bi rebelled, and led the Hejian king's army to attack the Wu-Chu coalition army for his meritorious service, and was worshiped as a lieutenant; at the same time, because of his outstanding military achievements, he was conferred the title of Marquis of Jianling.Fenghou, that is the long-cherished wish of Li Guang, who was born as a military general, and could not fulfill it even though he went through life and death. Smoother is yet to come.When Liu Qi abolished the crown prince Liu Rong, Wei Wan was supposed to be dragged out and beheaded because he and Li Ji were relatives.However, Liu Qinian and Wei Wan are kind and kind, not only let him go again, but soon when Liu Che was made the crown prince, he even worshiped Wan as the crown prince's tutor.Not long after, he was moved again to be Doctor Yushi. According to the rules of the early Han Dynasty, anyone who became a royal doctor was equivalent to stepping on the high position of prime minister.Sure enough, after Liu Qi stepped down the arrogant prime minister Zhou Yafu, he replaced Tao Houshe as prime minister; soon, he replaced Tao Houshe again, and Fu Weiwan took the position of prime minister. Liu Qi believes: Wei Wan is honest and honest, devoted to his duties.Let him assist the prince, there are only four words: safe and reliable. Liu Qi's vision was correct.However, he underestimated one person, Liu Che. Wen Jing's two emperors were both disciplined and business-minded people; however, Liu Che did not abide by his duties. At a young age, he knew what it meant to eat what was in the bowl and look at what was in the pot.It's nonsense to want him to just keep and not do anything.Also, Liu Che likes Confucianism and literature, and Wei Wan likes Taoism and softness.If the way is different, then there is no conspiracy.Thoughts and directions are inconsistent, Wei Wan's result is predictable. Sure enough, something really happened now. The process of Wei Wan's falling into the water is roughly as follows: First, after Dong Zhongshu proposed the idea of ​​expanding Confucianism, Wei Wan immediately responded and took the opportunity to play to Liu Che: Anyone who studies the remarks of Shen Buhai, Han Feizi, Su Qin, and Zhang Yi is a political critic. Depose all! Shen Buhai and Han Feizi are Legalists; Su Qin and Zhang Yi are Strategists.Why did Wei Wan choose these two to attack? It turned out to be very simple, Wei Wan is an apprentice of Lao Tzu. The legalist government is tyrannical, and the political strategists are glib, all of which are incompatible with Huang Lao's thinking.So Wei Wan's move is nothing more than taking a ride and weeding with a knife. Liu Che approved Wei Wan's performance. However, half a year later.In summer, in June, Liu Che suddenly dismissed Wei Wan.The reason is: when the first emperor Liu Qi was ill in bed, many of the prisoners in the prison were wronged. Wei Wan was dereliction of duty as the prime minister, so he was dismissed. This is called, the city gate catches fire and brings disaster to the fish in the pond.Forget about the Legalists and Strategists, why should you keep your Taoists? However, before Liu Qibeng, the whipping method was changed again and again, and even prisoners felt embarrassed when they were beaten.As for Wei Wan's behavior, how can she be a virtuous character? Why are there so many wronged reform-through-labour prisoners suddenly appearing in the prison?Is this Liu Che's unreasonable trick to punish people? In fact, Liu Che was right to want to clean up Wei Wan; he was also reasonable in trying to clean up Wei Wan. Because, there are actually a lot of wronged reform-through-labour prisoners locked up in the prison.These wronged people were made by the successors of the former cool official Zhidu.This successor is Ning Cheng from Nanyang. Ning Cheng, originally the captain of Jinan, was later transferred to Chang'an and promoted to lieutenant.After Zhidu's death, the heroes of the Chang'an clan lifted the alarm, and one after another came out of their holes like snakes and rats, doing whatever they wanted.Therefore, Ning Cheng followed Zhidu's example and prescribed harsh medicine to treat Chang'an violently.As a result, everyone in the Chang'an clan was in danger, and returned to the terrifying era when Zhidu was a lieutenant. Needless to say, among these wronged people, there must be the Chang'an clan and heroes.So, they filed complaints layer by layer, all the way to Liu Che.So, Liu Che grabbed Ning Cheng, pretended to be responsible, and asked all the way to the prime minister's mansion, where Wei Wan was blamed. In this way, Wei Wan's political career of running errands came to an end. Liu Che has already prepared a successor for him, and this person is none other than his relative Dou Ying. Liu Che chose Dou Ying for the following reasons: First, Wei Wan belonged to Empress Dowager Dou, and Dou Ying also belonged to Empress Dowager Dou. Getting rid of Wei Wan and filling in Dou Ying was a good way to appease the old man. Secondly, Dou Ying is a Confucian and a chivalrous man. When he came to be the prime minister, the monarch and his ministers have the same political ideals and work together. Are you afraid that the cause of Confucianism cannot be made bigger? High, really high. Sure enough, Liu Che dug out Wei Wan and posted Dou Ying, but Queen Dowager Dou didn't say a word. However, no hum, just a temporary default.Empress Dowager Dou has been listening quietly, she wants to hear what this young cowboy wants to make the Han Dynasty look like. At this moment, what Liu Che wanted the most was, of course, to dump the old Taoist water in the bottle of the Han Dynasty and replace it with new Confucian water. Confucianism is fancy and useful.This is what Liu Che said, this is also what Dou Ying, a relative of the Dou family, said, and it is also what Tian Fu, a relative of the Wang family, said. Those who are Tian Fu are the queen and the mother and brother.Back then, when Dou Ying had become a general, Tian Fu was still a small official in the harem.However, because both of them are relatives, they often meet and drink.In many cases, Tian Fu's role is just to accompany him to drink. At that time, it was necessary to pay attention to the rules when drinking.High or low status can also be seen at the banquet.When Tian Fu toasted or saluted Dou Ying, he always served the elders in the same way that the juniors treat the elders. However, no one expected that the identities of the two would switch places in the future. There are two reasons why Tian Fu is so confident that he can stand out. His sister, Wang Meiren, is very favored; Sure enough, Tian Fu's day came soon.Under the praise of Wang Meiren and Liu Qi's promotion, he quickly became a doctor of the Taizhong, with a rank of a thousand stones, and he was in charge of discussions. The hands are wide, and the shelves have begun to be installed.Tian Fu began to keep guests in captivity, win over dignitaries, and accumulate popularity.Life is always changing from quantitative to qualitative, and Tian Fu is stepping towards the top of the power pyramid step by step. Sure enough, after Dou Ying became prime minister, Tian Fu, who was also a foreign relative, also took advantage of the momentum and was promoted to Taiwei. In fact, if there were no obstructions, the positions of Dou Ying and Tian Fu would have been swapped.All along, what he desires most is to get the prime minister.Wei Wan was dismissed, he thought that he was the prime minister.However, at the critical moment, his dreams were cut off by the group of guests raised at home. The guests said to Tian Fu in this way: In terms of backstage, you are tougher than Dou Ying; in terms of ability, you are no worse than Dou Ying; in terms of popularity, you are worse than Dou Ying.Dou Ying is very expensive, very popular, and famous people all over the world return to him, now is not the time to push him, I suggest you bear with it. Therefore, when His Majesty appoints you as Prime Minister, you must give way to Dou Ying.If Dou Ying is prime minister, you will definitely be a captain.The Taiwei and the prime minister are equally honorable, so you don't need to be sad.Besides, you have gained the reputation of being modest, are you afraid that you will not have the chance to become the prime minister in the future? It's really not in vain to support this group of people.What the guest said made Tian Fu suddenly think of someone.This person, of course, is Empress Dowager Dou.Dou Ying was supported by the Empress Dowager Dou and a bunch of celebrities. If he really wanted to compete with Dou Ying for the prime minister, it would be another vicious fight. Why don't you just follow the wishes of the guests and bear with it. So, Tian Fu immediately ran to find Queen Wang, and Queen Wang gave Liu Che a blowjob.The result became what it is today: Prime Minister, Dou Ying; Taiwei, Tian Fu. Well, the prime minister and the Taiwei have changed the water.So, what about Doctor Yu Shi, do you want to change this? Liu Che's answer was: change!Hurry up!
