Chapter 2701: A Dream of Fetching Water from a Bamboo Basket
Self-examination and self-correction.
Although this term is somewhat biased towards the system of later generations, it does not seem difficult for these officials of the Han Dynasty to understand it.
Especially with Qiao Bin as an example.
General Hussar said that the case of merging was different from the past, but it was also very representative.
In the past, corrupt officials were corrupt themselves, and then harmed their families and children, but Qiao Bing can be said to be the people in his family who in turn harmed him.
Well, actually we can’t say that Qiao Bing did nothing evil at all. He was simply implicated. It’s just that if Qiao Bing’s people were not so arrogant, maybe Qiao Bing could cover it up for a while. After all, in the feudal dynasty
, Really upright officials are rare, and most of them are just greedy for more and less.
Just like those ordinary clerks in the palace of the General Hussars, have they ever brought two brushes and some paper to their homes after work? It is certainly inevitable. This kind of
The behavior is naturally wrong, but if it is because of this kind of thing, all the petty officials will be arrested, and it will be somewhat fussy.
Human beings have two sides, animal nature and social nature.
In terms of animality, the stronger the ability, the more resources it can occupy, just like being the alpha wolf among wolves. In terms of sociality, it depends on its role in the entire human society. The greater the role, the more resources it can occupy.
If it is large, it will naturally receive more resources.
However, there are always people who overestimate their position, such as Qiao Bing.
Also like Wei Kang.
Wei Kang was very proud, feeling that he had successfully achieved his goal with a combination of skills.
Different from Wei Duan's caution, Wei Kang felt that Tian was the boss and his father was the second, so he was naturally the third. Even though his father repeatedly emphasized that he should work seriously and be careful in his official duties, although he seemed to
He is submissive, but actually has his own ideas in mind.
Wei Kang felt that his father Wei Duan's ideas were outdated.
To do big things, you must do it early!
Be cautious on the left and cautious on the right. On that day, big things are going to happen. It is impossible to say that people are too old to do anything. For example, Wei Kang thought that he could engage in a merger, so he took action, and wasn't it successful?
The moment he got the news, Wei Kang even had the urge to run to Wei Duan, tell him what he had done, and then look at his father's stunned expression...
"I am no longer a child!"
Wei Kang whispered, then smiled slightly.
It’s still too early to talk about it now, he still has to prepare for the glory of the sutra conferring ceremony!
When you are in danger, you take orders, turn the tide, and then calmly show your strength, you will naturally get more space and a higher position!
Qiao Bing fell, and the general Hussar must be worried that there is no suitable person to take over the teaching ceremony, and to expound the subtleties of the Tao Te Ching before the people who take the scriptures!
Wei Kang was thinking secretly in his mind.
The next step is to naturally build some momentum for myself...
How to create momentum?
Of course, we invite the navy, bah, we invite the public to spread the word of mouth.
But what Wei Kang didn't expect was that he was exposed because of his second invitation to the Navy.
……(/□＼*)……
Dali Temple.
Sima Yi is also young.
Sima Yi's forbearance in history was partly due to nature, and partly forced by the situation. Cao Cao's successors did not learn much about Cao Cao's skills, but they learned a lot about his suspicious character, and the most important thing was that he was suspicious and had no strategy.
, only knows how to mess around...
Now, Sima Yi is still quite energetic. At least as the chief minister of Dali Temple, he is not afraid of taking on tasks or challenges.
Yes, Sima Yi felt that this was a challenge for him.
A challenge that appeared to be aimed at Qiao Bing, but was actually aimed at him...
Sima Yi is actually also suspicious, or in other words, people with lively minds always like to think more.
Why did you choose to go to Dali Temple to complain?
Why did someone come behind him as soon as he entered Dali Temple?
Why……
Sima Yi first checked inside Dali Temple and found nothing wrong. Sima Yi initially suspected Zhang Shi because Zhang Shi had been to Wufang Dojo before.
Although Zhang Shi said that he believed in the Five Directions Taoist Temple, so he went to the temple to cleanse his body and mind, but Sima Yi did not believe Zhang Shi's lies at all. Sima Yi thought that Zhang Shi must have gone to the Five Directions Dojo because of certain things.
Fang Daochang, and is very likely to be involved in the Qiao Bing incident.
Later, Zhang Shi invited himself to Hanzhong, which was almost equivalent to avoiding suspicion.
But to avoid suspicion, Zhang Shi did not report it to Sima Yi, the chief official, after knowing some things, which was naturally very problematic.
Based on the relevant circumstances, does Sima Yi think that someone is eyeing his position? So, is this a war?
Well, this is a war against Dali Temple, a war against yourself!
Sima Yi thought of this and suddenly felt high in fighting spirit.
Sima Yizheng felt that he had no opponent during this period of time, so God was so pitiful that he gave him an opponent. Isn't the value of a warrior on the battlefield reflected in the moment he cuts off the head of a powerful enemy?
Sima Yi was grinding the sword in his heart, and then his eyes were like knives aimed at everyone, including people in Dali Temple, such as Zhang Shi, but soon, Sima Yi eliminated Zhang Shi's suspicion.
.
That is a dog. Unless its owner has other ideas, if a running dog bites others, it is seeking death.
So is it Guo Tu, Feng Ji, or someone else?
Following Zhang Shi's clue, Sima Yi also found Chen Ming inside the Wugu Dojo.
"Director Chen, please take a seat." Sima Yi smiled slightly, "I asked Director Chen to come here to verify some matters. I'm sorry to trouble you, Director Chen..."
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Just ask Dali Qing for your orders." Chen Ming was a little cautious. After all, not everyone could smile and gossip as usual when they came to Dali Temple.
Sima Yi nodded and said: "Taoist Chen was oppressed by the Qiao family in the Wufang Taoist Hall... When someone heard about it, he was also very angry."
Sima Yi spoke very slowly, as if he was feeling what he was feeling.
Chen Ming exhaled slightly. Even though he had defeated Qiao Bing now, Chen Ming still felt a little uncomfortable when thinking of the previous events.
But this was just the beginning. After Sima Yi finished greetings, he directly asked: "Who is conspiring with Daochang Chen?"
Chen Ming was suddenly startled.
Sima Yi smiled, his eyes sharp.
Chen Ming swallowed his saliva and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Sima Yi extending his hand to indicate, "Master Chen, please think carefully before speaking..."
Chen Ming immediately swallowed the word "no" he originally wanted to say along with his saliva.
Think about it, Chen Ming has not received any special benefits from Wei Kang, so there is no reason to cover up for Wei Kang. It is not Chen Ming's responsibility to tell the truth, but there will definitely be problems with lying, so what?
Is there any difficulty in choosing?
Wei Kang, this name, fell into Sima Yi's sight.
So that's it, Sima Yi's eyes were like daggers.
It turned out to be Webster...
……ヽ(*.>Д<)o゜……
The streets of Chang'an.
An idle man with his arms open and some black hair exposed staggered out of the alley.
There are hard-working people in any era, and of course there are also lazy people.
Some people are born to be lazy and eat well, and some people are accustomed to it, but most of them are acquired.
Those who are neither high nor low are like this idle man who always says he wants to do something big, but will never get up until midnight every day. As for big things, he has no direction and just talks about them every day.
, "Grandpa is someone who wants to do great things! Stop bothering me with these insults!"
But no matter how important the event is, you still need to eat.
These days, the idle man got a job.
It's a very simple job, just spread some words.
He is familiar with this matter and is even considered an expert in it.
Even if there is no reward, he will find someone to chat with every day.
So the idle man reached under his robe and scratched it while walking towards the archway.
The summer sun is a bit strong, and the idle man feels a little dizzy.
hungry.
The idle man is going to talk to someone casually today. Even if the work is over, as for doing things with all his heart and responsibilities...
Can a person who can do his job conscientiously still be an idle man?
"Hey, do you know? Something big has happened recently..."
The idle man laughed and squatted down at the well next to the archway. He didn't care what indecent things were exposed in his crotch, and said to the few people around him, "It's a big deal! Hehehehe..."
…』
"Oh? What's going on?" someone asked.
The idle man laughed a few more times and shook his head triumphantly, "Brothers, have you heard about the Wufang Dojo?"
"..." The two or three people on the side seemed to exchange glances, and then someone asked, "I listened a little, but not carefully. If you know something, you might as well talk about it."
Xianhan laughed, then touched his belly, "Oh, I got up late this morning, and I haven't even had to take a bite yet..."
"Tsk..." A person next to him smacked his lips, then took out a small oil paper bag from his sleeve, and then took out a piece of dry biscuit, "I have a piece of cake here, if my brother dislikes it..."
"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it! Look at what you said, how can you dislike it?!" The idle man took it with his hands, then stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it, but after getting the food, he didn't eat it anymore.
What's the pretense? He said while eating, "This...this Five Directions Dojo, bah bah bah, then who has been arrested? Bah bah bah, now there is no one to host the sutra conferring ceremony..."
As the idle man spoke, he didn't notice someone moving next to him.
Of course, even if he noticed it, he would probably not take it seriously. After all, isn't this the case with spreading rumors? At first, one or two people would listen, and then someone would join in, and it would become a group of people listening.
"So, let me tell you, for this matter, you still need to find someone reliable, at least someone who understands the Taoist scriptures, and he has to be clean, right? If you meet someone like that surnamed Qiao again, the general
Do you still want the face?" The idle man saw more people, which aroused his interest even more, and his voice became louder, "It is true that among the three assistants of Chang'an, there is no one who is clean and knowledgeable.
There are not many young talents, but at the same time, there are not many young talents who are proficient in menstruation..."
Someone looked at Xianhan and asked, "Then who do you think this suitable young talent should be?"
The idle man said proudly, "Let me tell you, who else could it be? Mr. Wei Lang!"
"Wei Langjun? Wei Yuanzheng?" The man said with a smile, "Wei Yuanzheng's age...haha, you can't even call him young!"
"Hey! I'm talking about Mr. Wei Shaolang!" Xianhan waved his hand and said, "Master Shaolang! Mr. Wei Shaolang! Do you know him? This can be said to be a young and promising man who is well-informed..."
The idle man was preaching so vigorously that he didn't notice the people around him exchanging glances at all...
You Wen Si.
In fact, many times, when state institutions are activated, many things cannot be hidden.
Even though Wei Kang felt that he was very careful, as long as he came into contact with other people, he would eventually leave some traces, and these traces were gradually revealed under the investigation of Youwen Division.
"Webster..."
Kan Ze frowned.
The Youwen Department in Chang'an Sanjia area has relatively strong control. Once it starts to focus on a certain matter, it quickly collects relevant information.
Especially Wei Kang is still looking for the navy at this time!
Almost the same as Sima Yi, and even the instinctive reaction of most officials was that this matter was not Wei Kang's alone, but the whole Wei's matter, at least Wei Duan was instigating it from behind.
What?
Wei Kang did it alone. How is this possible?
What's more, it was only when the Hussars General said that all noble clans and officials should investigate and correct themselves to prevent the clan members from committing crimes...
What does this mean?
Come on, just report it!
……ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3……
Many times, parents or relatives are the last people to know some negative news about their children.
Wei Duan encountered this situation.
Wei Duan was actually restless at first.
At first, Wei Duan wanted to get the position under Pang Tong's buttocks, but after he and Pang Tong had an early arm-wrestling session, the soldiers became more at ease, and after being beaten several times, they
When you realize that you really can't handle it, you become honest.
It's like in a pack of wolves, there are always a few wolves who will test the attitude of the next wolf from time to time. It's a test, not a real challenge. If the attitude of the first wolf is still strong,
Then these wolves will tuck their tails obediently, but as long as the alpha wolf shows weakness, these wolves will take advantage of it, and then further attempt to compete for the alpha wolf's position.
After some testing, Wei Duan believed that he was indeed out of luck, and that the nobles of Chang'an Sanfu were also crippled and ran away. The rest were either bribed by Fei Qian or had their own ideas and would not fight with them at all.
If Wei Duan comes together, they will not be able to join forces.
Under such circumstances, Wei Duan stood in line honestly, obeyed Fei Qian's instructions, and did whatever he was asked to do...
The seemingly glorious Shenluyuan is actually like a hodgepodge of everything stewed in one pot. Only Wei Duan knows the taste.
Wei Duan did not tell Wei Kang about the hardships he suffered outside, or what Wei Duan thought he suffered outside. After all, as a parent, no one wants to show their weak side in front of their children.
Or show inability to do something.
As a result, Wei Duan left a wrong impression on Wei Kang...
His father is very powerful.
His father is very capable.
His father seems to be very humble, but he is actually the boss behind the scenes.
Isn't it the only one for the entire Han Dynasty that is the Senate Law Academy?
All orders under the Qiusi Cavalry come from the Shenluyuan!
Even the Hussars say they must abide by the law, so if you round it up, does it mean 100 million? Ahem, is it equivalent to the fact that all the people in Shanxi are listening to the Shenlu Academy? Rounding it up again, all the Han people are required to listen to the Shenlu.
From the hospital?
What fame and authority this is!
All laws and orders in the world are based on the law of participation. Once the laws and orders are issued, no one dares to disobey them!
Wei Kang has always thought so, and then he felt that Wei Duan was unwilling to let him enter the core circle of officials of Chang'an Sanfu, and instead asked Wei Kang to go to Longxi. It was not that Wei Duan did not have the ability, but that Wei Duan believed that Wei Kang
He is still immature and needs experience, so he was deliberately sent to Longxi. Otherwise, since he can take up a post in Longxi, he can naturally take up a post in Chang'an. It's like how some people in later generations can get a place to go to university.
, of course, you can also arrange a paid official ape pit position.
Wei Kang was right about one thing. Wei Duan really thought he was immature. But Wei Kang was wrong about one thing. His father was not as powerful as he thought.
Children who cheat on their fathers are not only found in later generations.
"My father is a member of the Legal Academy!" Wei Kang said.
Wei Kang said this sentence very smoothly, just like those young college students in later generations who came out of the society and entered the company. They always like to say that the company is the same today and the company will be the same tomorrow. He is very proud and thinks about himself.
One day, he can become his father's pride.
But what Wei Kang didn't expect was that not only did he fail to bring pride, he also brought trouble to Wei Duan.
big trouble.
Wei Duan had always thought that Wei Kang was in Longxi, serving as the county magistrate obediently and accumulating political capital, so when he heard that Wei Kang was involved in the Wugu Dojo incident, his first reaction was not to believe it.
Can't believe it.
Although Wei Duan also knows that his children may not be as well-behaved as he usually says, but just like parents are reluctant to let their children see their incompetent side, parents are also reluctant to let others know about their children.
He is naughty and ignorant, so most of the time Wei Duan says that his child is better than his best, and calls him a "dog" in his mouth, but he still feels like a "tiger" in his heart.
Only this time, he was bitten by a "tiger".
In fact, there is nothing too difficult to confirm about this matter. When Wei Duan and a few people hurried out of the general's mansion and rushed to Changling, Wei Kang's hiding place, he saw the person Wei Duan was familiar with.
Several Wei Duan guards appeared, and Wei Duan's face suddenly turned red, and then all the blood quickly receded, leaving only a grayish white color.
"Where is the rebellious son! Let him come and see you!" Wei Duan shouted loudly, his voice and look stern.
Upon seeing this, several Webster guards quickly went to find Wei Kang.
Wei Kang was a little at a loss, but he still mustered up the courage to go forward and greeted him, "Father... Father... you, why are you here..."
Wei Duan felt like something was knocking in the corner of his head, "Guizi! Why are you here?!"
At that moment, Wei Duan still hoped that Wei Kang only came to Chang'an for some other business, and that it was just a misunderstanding by the people in Wensi.
"Ah, this..." Wei Kang hesitated, his eyes rolling around.
Wei Duan felt that his heart was constantly sinking, and his head was being pulled upward by something. It was as if his whole body was being torn in two, and he was in excruciating pain.
It’s over…
If Wei Kang came here for official business, then he would never have this reaction, this expression, this unspeakable expression!
Wei Duan was furious and could not speak. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and was about to hit Wei Kang. Wei Kang subconsciously shrank his head to avoid it.
Wei Duan slapped him in the air, and then he fell down.
Wei Kang was stunned for a moment, "Huh? Father, father...you, what's wrong with you?"
