Chapter 027
Bian Zibai got the silk fabric he had always wanted, and his first high-end outfit was settled.
Duke Wei saw Bian Zibai's personality through the bribery of the bureaucrats in the city.
After a long time of silence in Diqiu's officialdom, so many frustrated small bureaucrats were finally exposed, commonly known as unstable factors.
The outstanding performance of the number one spy leader Ding Ge once again refreshed the trust of Duke Wei. A powerful secret guard is necessary, and the class struggle of the country's country is still in the main contradiction.
...
In short, everyone is ready to move, but can't move. Just like a suppressed zodiac, who is obviously a dragon son, but can only become a memorial monument carrying others and praise merits. No one wants to become a vassal, and the same is true and knowledgeable. There are some people in the world who are pretentious and have real talents, but they are not valued in Weiguo. This is the current situation in the Weiguo officialdom. Dissatisfaction is spreading. Perhaps soon, when the enemy attacks Weiguo, other bureaucrats will choose to surrender to the enemy.
Weiguo is like a lock hole with rusty marks or even a rusty lock, waiting rigidly for the last moment of abandonment. If Bian Zibai had not been Bian Zibai, the city of Diqiu would be very calm and calm down until the moment of disaster came. Logically speaking, a small person like Bian Zibai would not have the intention to leverage the decaying gate of Weiguo, but by chance, there was still a slight shaking.
What caused all this was a great man who had a high impression of Wei State, the Prime Minister Zisi.
In the main hall in the deep palace, Wei Gong was dozing off at the sun like a chicken pecking rice. This was one of Wei Gongji's few hobbies. The little eunuch was hit by a bright slap on his face, tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and looked aggrieved, and rushed towards his boss Ding Zhuo, who reported it.
"Had been beaten?" As a person who has experienced this palace, Ding only knew the helplessness of being a helpless little eunuch. Being beaten is just a common thing.
The little eunuch said depressedly: "Mr. Zisi wants to break through, but I can't stop him..."
"What are you going to stop the ruling emperor? " Ding Ge was also drunk. He had to listen to Duke Wei's words, but he didn't even understand the minimum flexibility. Where is this?
The palace!
It is an old and weak man's palace. There are too many dissatisfactions and complaints in this palace. The women of Duke Wei are not satisfied, and those with sons may not care much, at least they are a little hopeful. But if the beauties without children want to see a man swallow it alive.
The palace is always a deep place full of countless resentment that can be dispelled.
Zi Si frowned, and his palms were a little numb. He had never thought about trying to make a tough move. The reason why he gave people a illusion was that it seemed to have a more urgency and would make Duke Wei nervous. Such tricks were very useful in the past. At least the rage and impulse of the prime minister would make Duke Wei Ji Tuo have an illusion that the bastard wanted to seize my king and rebel! However, in recent years, Duke Wei Ji Tuo's energy has become worse and worse, and he has reached the point of loving sun and whining. In the countryside farms, the habits that only the elderly who are waiting to die have were verified by Duke Wei. Perhaps, the era of Ji Tuo is about to pass. Zi Si has been in Wei for many years and is familiar with all the habits of Duke Wei. Ji Tuo is a suspicious person, but he has no decision; he is stubborn, but always pays attention to trivial matters; he is jealous of evil, but he cannot be a model for the Chinese people...
Anyway, it would be right to call Duke Wei a second-generation official who was very fond of talent and was very fond of success but did not succeed in anything.
It is not just about Wei Gong Ji Tuo. I won’t talk about any vassal state. Without great luck and perseverance, you cannot achieve great achievements. However, it is already thankful that the successor’s talents have reached the middle and upper level. Often, it is a generation of talents that produce outstanding talents. Obviously, Wei Gong Ji Tuo is not listed here.
After waiting for half a stick of incense, Zisi was finally led by the little eunuch he had beaten to the palace where Wei Gong often missed. From a distance, he saw Wei Gong put his hands in his sleeves, looking like a twilight yearning, no longer as handsome as he was in the coup back then: "Master."
"Zi Si is here, sit down quickly." Duke Wei moved his body and gave out a good sun-dense position. Zi Si's face was a little shaking. If he wanted to bask in the sun, wouldn't he be at home?
Zisi bowed and sat down. They did not need too much politeness between the emperor and his ministers. Waiting for the palace servants to deliver the fruits and light wine they kept, Wei said openly: "I heard that the water is too clear and there will be no fish, and it will be too turbid and the fish cannot survive. How can I solve it?"
The king and his ministers were just daily, but Zisi did not prepare deliberately: "I don't know what to do, but I know that this is normal. The streams in the mountains are clear, but there are few big fish. The water in the river flows in the river have nurtured the most plump fish in the world. There may be a reason for the existence of any matter. If you see through it, it is wisdom; if you can't see through it, it is just wisdom."
Duke Wei nodded and said, "That's right, that's what it means."
Mr. Wei sent his hands to his chest with his chest in a meaningful way. He was familiar with the shovelers who had been cat slaves in later generations. How comfortable this posture is for a cat? This is the 'farmer'. Mr. Wei changed to a position that could touch his g-points and condensed the wrinkles on his face into a ball of chrysanthemums with satisfaction: "My dear, I met a boy yesterday. It was quite interesting, very wise, but not a gentleman's way; his personality was extreme, but it was difficult to tolerate others. Today, he found that his personal morality was detrimental and he didn't know how to use it. Please ask me to take a look at it."
"Who makes the Lord so hard to give up?"
Zisi's words are not without reason. Duke Wei's preferences are too straightforward. If you like it, you like it, and if you like it, you don't like it. Maybe this is not the case in other vassal states, but in the Wei state, he has the final say.
"Bian Zibai, a young man who is not as powerful as the one who is weak."
Duke Wei seemed to be a little dissatisfied when he mentioned this name. He held great hope for Bian Zibai, but unexpectedly, he was disappointed.
"It's him!"
Zisi said in surprise.
Wei Gongji Tuo strangely spread his hands, leaned forward, and asked, "Your dear, know this kid?"
"I heard something." Zisi hesitated for a while, and saw that Duke Wei looked good, so he spoke, "Have the Lord granted Bian Zi Bai's title?"
"No." Duke Wei felt a little funny. Bian Zibai gave himself a way to make historians completely obedient and set up an institution called Hanlin Academy. However, Bian Zibai never thought that he would become the first chief officer of this institution. As for the title he wanted to grant him, I'm afraid even Duke Wei had never thought about it.
There is no contribution to expanding territory.
There is no prominent background of aristocratic families.
Not to mention the support of the palace coup.
This guy has never been awarded any reward for the status of a scholar-official class in Wei State. Without the special approval of the king, Bian Zibai would never have a title, at least in Wei State.
It was like meeting a toy, and his curiosity made Duke Wei have the intention to let Bian Zibai beside him. In the lifeless court of Wei, he was tired of seeing what old faces that made him uncomfortable. Now that he is old, he feels better to him. The interesting attitude of Duke Wei in the eyes of the Xiang Guozisi made him feel inexplicably irritable: "Master, have you heard that many officials in the city gave him gifts yesterday, and a small restaurant was filled with gifts."
"Ding Ge has asked about this matter clearly, and all the gifts have been bound into a book." Ding Ge, who was as listless as an old dog, was named after the latter, like a sleepy lion, whose eyes flashed brightly.
After a while, Zisi waved his hand and interrupted Ding Ge's reading, what's the thing... Even someone gave the pickles?
When did the bureaucratic class of the country become so lonely?
Of course, the purpose of Zisi asking Mr. Wei is not this. He has seen that Mr. Wei has a great curiosity towards Bian Zibai, which is enough to make Mr. Wei have enough patience to tolerate Bian Zibai making mistakes: "Master, how are you going to deal with Bian Zibai?"
"That's it!"
Duke Wei was a little embarrassed. He just said that the water was clear and there was no fish. Isn’t it just a tactful way to tell Zisi that Bian Zibai had accepted bribes and was extremely guilty, but could he still be within the tolerance range?
Ji Tui didn't believe that Zisi wouldn't hear the meaning of this, and pondered: "How about the salary fine?"
"What if Bian Zibai has no intention of becoming an official in Weiguo?" Zisi asked. This was something he had figured out on the way. Bian Zibai and Gou Bian were familiar with each other. He could not have known the story of Gou Bian being beaten by the king because of two eggs. In addition, Bian Zibai's step-by-step and linked tofu marketing plan seemed impeccable in Zisi's opinion. Almost all the beans planted in Diqiu City this year have been booked for restaurants, and they are relatively cheap.
Using tofu to throw bricks leads to a huge change in the grain planting industry.
The farmers in Wei Kingdom basically do not have much favoritism for soybeans. After all, people cannot eat soybeans as staple food, which may easily cause stomach problems.
Wealth is within reach, and young people are too young. In Zisi's opinion, such people must have lofty ideals. I'm afraid they don't like the official titles given by Wei State at all. In addition, they have been willing to make money before they become officials (actually not much), but their appearance is too ugly, which is just forcing Wei to publicly remove him.
Zisi also valued Bian Zibai, but he did not think that Bian Zibai is a talent at the moment, and he did not have the qualifications to become a qualified official at all. Zisi planned to accept Bian Zibai as a guest and tempted him carefully. Ten years later, he might become a pillar of the Wei State. For this reason, he also helped Gou Bian Zibai promote Bian Zibai. Bian Zibai, who has enough fame, can be accepted by the Wei State officialdom more smoothly. Gou Bian gave him a profound lesson. Gou Bian is talented, but because of his family background. It is obvious that he lacks fame, and a small mistake becomes the reason for Duke Wei to be dismissed. Zisi decided to change his routine, especially when he saw Bian Zibai doing things with a lot of auras. Although he was a little wild and trained, he could become a humble gentleman. Zisi was a person who knew how to adapt. He understood a truth that a gentleman was pretending to be a good person and had little to do with character. Of course, this refers to most people, and a few moral integrity is admired by people. But unexpectedly, Duke Wei's temporary decision disrupted his plan.
When he heard that Bian Zibai was accepting bribes without hesitation, his heart skipped a beat. His premonition told him again that Bian Zibai looked down on himself and looked down on Wei State at all, and did not intend to become an official in Wei State: "Master, have you never thought that Bian Zibai had no intention of becoming an official in Wei State at all?"
Before Duke Wei could react, the old man had been immersed in the imagination that the officialdom of Wei was the most harmonious among the princes and could not extricate himself.
He couldn't think of it, there were still fools who didn't want to be an official in the State of Defense.
Duke Wei did not respond, but someone present couldn't help but roar: "He doesn't take office, why dare he not take office!"
