Chapter 143 Section 6 Review of Lu Buwei's official career

Lu Buwei's career experience can only be described as dreamy.He has no experience at the grassroots level, nor has he climbed the ladder of power through hardships. His first official position was as a prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people. His official career has been smooth and unprecedented.When I read Journey to the West when I was a child, I often wondered why Sun Wukong had to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties before he could achieve the right result?He can completely carry Tang Seng on his back, turn over to the western sky in a somersault, and take away the scriptures, how quick and easy it is.Later, I gradually realized that when I was young, I was too utilitarian. In fact, the most important thing may not be the satisfaction of the result, but the pleasure of the process.Life is like treating guests to a meal, not for a full meal, but for the taste on the plate and the style of the meal.As a professional bureaucrat, Lu Buwei has already obtained the scriptures from the very beginning, and has no goal to strive for since then. Is this luck or misfortune?

The reason why Lu Buwei was able to ascend to the sky in one step and become the prime minister was due to his support for Yingzheng and his son.However, Xiangguo is the hope of the government and the public, and a model for all officials. It is obviously not enough to just rest on the old credit book and eat the old.Counting from the first year of King Zhuang Xiang to the eighth year of Yingzheng now, Lu Buwei has been in the position of Xiangguo for ten and one years.Lu Buwei's official career is about to reach its end. It is time to review and summarize his performance over the years in power, and give himself and history an explanation.

In the past eleven years, what has Lu Buwei done that is worth writing about?First rule of leadership: All mistakes are your mistakes.In other words, all the credit is naturally inseparable from the wise leadership of the leader.During Lu Buwei's tenure, there were several major events worth writing about, which should all be recorded in Lu Buwei's name. One is the demise of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which happened in the first year of Lu Buwei's tenure, and was operated by Lu Buwei himself.At that time, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was precarious and weak, and the total territory was only seven counties (Henan, Luoyang, Gucheng, Pingyin, Yanshi, Gong, and Goushi).Any one of the six countries has absolute strength and can be easily destroyed.Therefore, the demise of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty does not show Lu Buwei's ability, and the actual significance is not great, but its symbolic significance is very great: it declares that the Zhou Dynasty with thirty-seven kings and eight hundred and sixty-seven years will no longer exist, and the world There is no more emperor.After this layer of window paper is pierced, war is just war, and there is no distinction between justice and injustice.Since then, when Qin State attacked the Six Kingdoms, there was no need to worry about jumping out of the so-called co-lord of the world, expressing strong protest and condemnation of Qin State's violence.

The second is to expand the territory and expand the territory, which has made great achievements. It has successively added Sanchuan County, Taiyuan County, and Dong County to the Qin State. The third is to defeat the Allied Forces of the Five Nations, which took place in the sixth year of Yingzheng.From then on, the Six Kingdoms could only be passively beaten, and no longer had the intention to attack Qin westward.The combination of vertical and horizontal has provided a gorgeous stage for many capable people and strangers, and performed the most gorgeous movement in their lives, and it has completely become a historical term since then.

The fourth is to decide to build the Zhengguo Canal.At that time, the Zhengguo Canal was still under construction, and it was difficult to determine whether it was good or bad. In addition to the above four items, now Lu Buwei has added a rich stroke to his resume as a prime minister - "Lushi Chunqiu".It can be said that Lu Buwei is largely pointing to this book as to whether it will last forever. Although "Lushi Chunqiu" was edited by Lu Buwei as the Prime Minister, it does not have obvious traces of official revision like the later "Yongle Dadian" and "Siku Quanshu". "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" has a deep folk color, full of the complaints and depression of those book editors - unsuccessful scholars, without singing praises, without tabooing twists and turns, fresh and lively, very original.And at the end of each chapter and section, there is no minister Buwei saying: "How so, give it to Glenge."
