Speaking of this, he looked at the greedy spring water and sighed: "Guangzhou is located in the south of Lingnan, and its products are completely different from those in the Central Plains. There are many rare treasures, many of which will become props for the princes of aristocratic families to fight for wealth and fame, so here
Officials often engage in massive corruption. In order to avoid being investigated by Shangfeng, they make up a lie about greedy spring water that makes people corrupt. This is just to find an excuse for themselves. As far as I know, the successive governors of Guangzhou also include Tao Tao, the founder of Guangzhou.
Talking about such a famous official, he has never been corrupt here. On the contrary, people like Diao Kui are notoriously corrupt officials and big bugs in both Guangzhou and Jingkou. You can't say that the Jiuxiang River in Jingkou
, maybe drinking it can make people greedy."
Wu Yinzhi laughed, picked up a ladle of greedy spring water, and poured it directly into his mouth. The expressions of several servants on the side changed greatly, and they hurriedly came up to stop him. Wu Yinzhi waved his hand, motioning for them to step back, and then poured the ladle of water into his mouth.
He drank the water in one gulp, wiped the water droplets on his beard, and said with a smile: "The ancients said that this water is worth a lot of money. If you try to make all the barbarians drink it, it will not change your mind!"
Wang Dan also clapped his hands: "Wu Shijun, what a poem, it's so well said. Don't worry about the legends of the ancients that they wanted to be greedy for riches after drinking this water. If there is really such a noble person as Boyi Shuqi,
Integrity, even if you drink the water here, your original intention will not change."
Wu Yinzhi smiled slightly, waved his hand, and signaled everyone to retreat. Everyone retreated wisely, because everyone understood that Wu Shijun was going to discuss today's current affairs with this noble son of aristocratic families.
situation.
Wu Yinzhi's eyes fell on Wang Dan and looked directly into his eyes: "Mao Shi (Wang Dan's word), what is your true intention?"
A trace of loneliness flashed in Wang Dan's eyes: "Perhaps in the eyes of the envoy, I am just a treacherous villain who succumbs to influence and evil. I have brought shame to the family and shamed my ancestors. I deserve to be reduced to this situation.
Dying here might be the best punishment for me."
Wu Yinzhi smiled slightly: "If you were really that kind of villain, you would not have taken the risk of being implicated and interceded for Huan Qian when Sima Yuanxian was in power. Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, you are
It's a cunning move to bet on both sides, but in my opinion, you know that Sima Yuanxian is not reliable and you just want to leave a way out for yourself. In fact, you and Wang Dan are the same people and you want to make a difference.
A descendant of an aristocratic family, but you want to find an opportunity to gain power first, so that you can have the opportunity to display your ambitions, right?"
Wang Dan's eyes sparkled with tears: "Mr. Wu, you still understand me. It's a pity that my luck is bad. The world is dominated by tigers and wolves. Sima Yuanxian and Huan Xuan are both villains who brought trouble to the world. I hate that I couldn't be born twenty years earlier.
I had to meet Mr. Xie, if I had worked under him, why would I be where I am today?"
Wu Yinzhi shook his head: "You may not be able to realize your ambitions now. Maoshi, times have changed. The era when the aristocratic family controlled everything has passed. Now, it is time for new forces to control power. I am old and want to have something."
It's impossible to do anything, but you are still young, don't waste your time, let alone give up on yourself. As long as you find the enlightened master, you will make a difference."
Wang Dan opened his eyes wide: "Mr. Wu, what do you mean..."
Wu Yinzhi said seriously: "The information in Lingnan is blocked. What I have received now is only the news from three months ago. I have not announced it to the outside world yet. But today, I want to tell you first. Liu Yu, the former general of the Beifu Army, Liu
Yi, He Wuji and others had already raised troops, miraculously defeated Huan Xuan and drove him to Jingzhou. They continued to pursue him. They supported Sima Zun, the king of Wuling, as temporary regent, and the late emperor Sima Dezong was restored to the throne.
It can be said that the Jin Dynasty has come back from the dead!"
Wang Dan's hands were trembling with excitement. He stood up and walked back and forth: "It's unbelievable, it's so unbelievable! Huan Xuan holds the most power in the world, and a hundred thousand soldiers marched into Jiankang. How could he be overthrown like this?
Is this news true? "
Wu Yinzhi smiled slightly: "A month ago, Huan Xuan went to all the prefectures and counties to ask the governors to congratulate him on moving to Jiangling. At that time, he was in the name of sitting in Jiangling and presiding over the Northern Expedition, but in fact, he was driven out of Jiangling.
Kang, otherwise, as an emperor, there is no reason to move the capital easily? Maoshi, you raised a question at that time. Now, this question can be solved."
Wang Dan took a deep breath, sat down, tried his best to calm down, and said: "Mr. Wu, whether in Huanchu or Dajin, I was affiliated with Sima Yuanxian and committed many crimes.
Everything that happened should be punished. Today's exile in Lingnan is the punishment I deserve. Now I also want to understand. No matter how the situation in the central government changes, I should make atonement here in a down-to-earth manner and benefit the people of this place.
, it is also a kind of experience for yourself, instead of thinking about this change of power, you have to rush to become an official and take power. If you really think like this, it is like drinking the spring water of this greedy spring, and your people's hearts have been corrupted.
."
Wu Yinzhi suddenly laughed, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Mao Shi, Mao Shi, you really did not disappoint me. It seems that this trial of greed for spring water was not in vain. In this troubled world, everyone is trying to take advantage of the opportunity.
It is really rare for a developed country to be able to calm down and do things for the people like you. Only with such a mentality can you be a good official in the future."
Wang Dan said solemnly: "This year, after being by Wu Gong's side and receiving your teachings, I have gained a new understanding. To be honest, in the past, I only wanted to get ahead when I was with the children of those aristocratic families. In the future, I will be with Sima Yuanxian.
, I have been in contact with those villains who follow the crowd all day long, and people have become vulgar. Only by being with you can I learn the real way to be in power. It is still about winning the hearts and minds of the people. Otherwise, relying on the shadow of my father and ancestors, I will eventually fail.
No guarantee. I never understood why Liu Yu was so popular and popular among the military before. Now I finally understand. Only by getting along with these lower-level soldiers and civilians, working for their welfare, caring for the people's needs, and giving them what they need can they gain real support.
.I also need to work here for a few more years to benefit the people and improve myself."
Wu Yinzhi said sternly: "It's good that you have this idea. Anyway, I am the governor of Guangzhou appointed by Huan Xuan. If Huan Xuan falls, I will probably have to resign and return to my hometown. However, before I leave, I will write a letter to the court.
, I suggest you stay here as the acting governor. As a high-ranking member of the party, I hope you can keep your true intentions and practice well here. One day, you will return to the center of power. When you take charge, don't forget you.
These words today.”
