Chapter 2705: People in officialdom who advance but never retreat
I don’t know if it’s because human beings really like to seek death in their bones, so they have short lifespans, various organ defects, and fragile...
In fact, there were not as many rules for becoming an official in the Han Dynasty as there were in later generations.
Even to a certain extent, it is more like "powering down to the wild" in a certain period of time in later generations.
Everyone is an independent individual. Even if he has various labels and identities, he is still independent. When he is seeking death, he always feels that his death wish has nothing to do with others, but in fact, it is quite the opposite. It is a mess.
Always ask others to help clean up.
The same goes for Wellcome.
Although he is the son of Wei Duan and the heir of Wei Shi, he is also a county magistrate, an incompetent official, an ambitious young man, and so on.
But he is still an independent individual. He has his own thoughts. He has a "self", "id" and "superego" that he only recognizes. It is difficult for many people to form a decent "superego", but
Form your "self" without taking too much effort.
Of course Wei Kang also has the idea of making due contributions to his family, but it is just "should". For example, now that Wei Duan asks him to become an official, he feels that it is not "should". Why?
why me?
Wei Kang felt that he had done nothing wrong from beginning to end, so why did he want to become an official?
He has already become an official at such a young age. How will he survive in the future?
Of course, becoming an official does not mean that you will never be an official in the future. There is no hope of being reinstated in the future, but that is just a hope. The actual situation is that a large number of people are coming to Chang'an, taking exams one after another.
Organized, batch after batch of officials were born. Once they choose to become officials and retire, it is likely to mean farewell to officialdom forever. How does this make Wei Kang, who was once ambitious, feel?
"You don't want to become an official? Could it be that I want to become an official?" Wei Duan looked at Wei Kang with a sullen face, "Go and write a stamp! Now this is the only way out for Wei's family!"
"..." Wei Kang didn't move, and squeezed his hands tightly.
Wei Duan looked sideways and couldn't help but get angry. What was he dragging his sick body back and forth for the past two days? Is it because of this rebellious son? If there was even the slightest hope, Wei Duan didn't want his child to become an official!
But the problem now is that Qiao Bing is guilty, but that doesn’t mean that Wei Kang has the right to use Qiao Bing’s crime to cause trouble!
Of course, for later societies with relatively sound laws, this is a very simple truth. But for Wei Kang, who failed to understand this, he thought that he was "doing justice for heaven" and should become
How can a respected "hero" become a despicable "official"?
Just like some so-called "anti-counterfeiters" in later generations, when they know that the goods are fake or shoddy goods, they do not deal with them in accordance with the corresponding regulations and laws, but deliberately mess up the matter under the banner of "consumers".
Big, it is obviously not for the purpose of cracking down on counterfeiting, but for making profits. After all, really cracking down on counterfeiting requires a lot of troublesome things, such as collecting evidence, retaining it, consuming time and energy, and having to pay for relevant testing out of your own pocket, etc.
It is often laborious and not profitable.
Therefore, in the end, many "anti-counterfeiters" changed from "anti-counterfeiters" to "pretend anti-counterfeiters"...
If such behavior is not dealt with, someone will inevitably try to make money from it. Such "anti-counterfeiting" will not eliminate fakes, but will continue to lead to the spread of fakes in the market, because "anti-counterfeiters" will reap the benefits.
After paying the so-called "compensation", they will turn a blind eye to the fake goods that they paid for, so in fact, they have made a fool of themselves?
The same is true with Weicome.
If Wei Kang directly writes a letter and reports it to the Hussars, then no matter what happens in the end, Wei Kang will at least have no fault. However, Wei Kang ended up personally, resorted to tricks to cause trouble and then benefited himself, even if he said it verbally
How good it is, but everyone knows what he actually wants to do, so how can he hide it from the General of the Hussars?
"You..." Wei Duan said in a deep voice, "Besides, if you do this, wouldn't you be mocking the Qiaoqi's incompetence?! This matter has been settled like this, and there is no need to discuss it further!"
Wei Duan has been running outside for a long time. He is tired both mentally and physically. He does not have much patience to continue explaining to Wei Kang. He originally thought that Wei Kang would comply, just like he did before.
, even if he didn't want to, he would follow the order, but what Wei Duan didn't expect was that Wei Kang jumped up and shouted loudly, emotionally, "I won't go! I'm not wrong! It's like this every time! You
Are you my father? You keep saying it’s for me, but actually it’s all for yourself!"
"The traitor!" Wei Duan's face darkened, "Come here! Tie up this traitor! Throw him into the woodshed! No one is allowed to let him out without someone's order!"
Several servants from the Wei Mansion went into the hall, apologized to Wei Kang, and then tied Wei Kang down. They saw a man coming in a hurry at the courtyard gate with a panicked look on his face. When they got to the steps down the hall,
I don't know if he missed the mark or tripped somewhere, but he fell down and gnawed on the mud with a squeak. He was in an extremely embarrassed state, "I... I'm sorry... oops..."
Wei Duan frowned, "Speak nicely!"
"Yes, yes... Master Qi, I heard someone say, Shen Lv Yuan... the one from Shen Lv Yuan..."
"What is that?" Wei Duan couldn't help but become nervous. In the past few days, he had been running around trying to save the situation, and he had not paid much attention to the Senate.
The servant looked flustered, his face covered with dirt, "I heard that several members of the Senate are planning to impeach...Impeach the Master..."
"Impeachment...Impeachment..." Wei Duan stood up suddenly, but because he suddenly stood up too hard, he suddenly suffered from brain ischemia, and he fell back down with a thud as the world was spinning.
"Ah?! It's not good! The master has fainted again! Someone is here..."
……_(:з ∠)_……
Just when Wei Duan fainted in the mansion, a painting boat was swimming slowly along the blue waves by the Xuanwu Pond.
This is a comfortable boat specially built for lake tours. The boat is not big and does not look very ostentatious on the outside.
Although the boat has a roof, it is not a stalemate. Because there are not only windows on the wall of the boat house, but also windows on the ceiling, which have heat insulation functions and can maintain smooth ventilation, so even though it is still early autumn, the weather
The temperature has not dropped much, but as long as the wind blows from the lake and the thin curtains on the boat are fluttering, it will be cool and pleasant in the cabin.
Although the furnishings in the cabin do not have any gold or jade carvings, they are all extremely exquisite. The low table and cushions are unremarkable at first glance, but in fact they are all high-end goods. Even the half-decked ones placed on the table
The black and white Go pieces are actually made of jade, which are very valuable.
After all, he is a big man at the moment, and the polishing work on this set of chess pieces alone is worth a lot of money.
The valuable utensils in these cabins were placed so casually. The women sitting on the edge of the cabin chatting on brocade cushions obviously turned a blind eye to these utensils and were accustomed to them.
The cool breeze on Xuanwu Lake blew the gauze in the cabin, and seemed to stir the mood of the people in the cabin.
"I didn't expect that the wind in the Wufang Dojo would stir up waves in the Shenlu Courtyard..." Zhen Mi's voice was soft and delicate. She sat at the hatch of the boat, looking at the sparkling waves of Xuanwu Lake, the white clothes on her body
The hem of her skirt was fluttering gently in the wind, and a few strands of black hair on the side of her delicate and smooth face seemed to be dancing happily in the wind.
Wang Ying looked at Zhen Mi. She was somewhat envious of Zhen Mi. Although during her trip to Taiyuan, she also saw a lot of things within the big family that she was not aware of before, but she still was not
Very familiar with, or able to understand and sort out these complex issues.
The relationship between these characters is not as simple as one plus one equals two, nor can it be applied by a more general model...
Sometimes Wang Ying can't help but wonder, if she hadn't been this baroness back then, would her life have been simpler? Would it have been better to stay in the country all her life and live a pastoral life without all these intrigues? But back then
When Wang Ying came to his senses, he also knew that everything was in the past. Now that he had stepped on this road, he could only continue to move forward, and there was no option to retreat.
You can only move forward.
"Sister Zhen, you mean... Wei Yuanzheng will be in trouble?" Wang Ying frowned, trying to understand this slightly confusing situation to her, "It's not like Wei Yuanzheng did something wrong..."
Zhen Mi smiled, "Humans, it's inevitable that they will do wrong things, and that's okay... But once you stand up, you can't be wrong, you're wrong..."
Zhen Mi raised her head, her smooth and small chin and face were as crystal clear as white jade in the sun, "One mistake will make people lose confidence, not to mention... He was wrong more than once..."
Sometimes many people will clamor that one person has to do the work and one person has to bear the responsibility. If I am wrong, I don’t have to deal with that person. But in fact, China has not had the so-called complete concept of "pure individual" since ancient times. It has always been "the country".
” and “family”. So Wei Kang thinks that he can do whatever he wants, but in fact he affects more than just himself.
Wang Shu also walked out of the cabin, holding a plate with some wine pulp and fruits in his hand.
Seeing this, Wang Ying quickly stood up and took it, but Zhen Mi sat calmly.
Wang Shu glanced at Zhen Mi, "You can sit still..."
Zhen Mi smiled, then stretched out her hand to smooth the folds of her white dress, "Yes, because I am wearing a white dress now, so it is not easy for me to get contaminated by those things..."
Wang Shu's eyes moved, he hummed, and sat aside.
Wang Ying was a little confused. She felt that the two people seemed to have said something, but at the same time they seemed to have said nothing.
"Two days ago, someone from Wensi came to see me... Ah, it's okay..." Wang Shu patted Wang Ying gently, "They just asked me to borrow a few people..."
"The people following you?" Wang Ying said curiously, "What do you want your people to do?"
"Haha..." Wang Shu smiled, raised his glass and drank, but did not answer immediately.
Zhen Mi couldn't help laughing at the side, then took Wang Ying's hand and said: "You, the point of concern is wrong... This is a warning..."
"Ah?" Wang Ying was stunned for a moment.
Wang Shu put down his wine glass and sighed, "Yes, it's a warning. Because those people came some time ago..."
As Wang Shu established a firm foothold in Guanzhong, she publicly took up a position under the great minister Nong. Although her position was not big, everyone knew that she was the wife of Zao Zhi, so some of her old subordinates in Shandong were
I just smelled the smell and found him. Not long after I arrived, I was approached by someone from Wensi. Although he was politely offering to borrow someone, it was just like what Zhen Mi said.
Potential warning.
"Actually, our lord is very kind..." Zhen Mi said with a smile, "Of course you must understand what he means first... Otherwise, you really don't understand, or you pretend not to understand, and insist on having your own way... It's like
It’s Wei Shi. Didn’t the lord also give a clear order before... "Self-examination and self-correction", I'm afraid it will start from Wei Yuanzheng..."
"Self-examination and self-correction?" Wang Ying asked.
Zhen Mi smiled, curved her lips, and nodded.
Before Wang Ying could react, Wang Shu on the side sighed and said: "That's right, if I don't hand over these people, I'm afraid I will have to "examine and correct myself", and I might be in trouble...
』
Zhen Mi's eyes flashed, "That's not a big deal, after all, you are... at most, you are leaving your post, but... ah, Miss Xin is here..." Zhen Mi straightened up and waved towards the distance.
Although Zhen Mi was talking nonsense, Wang Shu seemed to understand, snorted, and then waved to Xin Xianying and said: "Do you want her to enter the Law Academy?"
Wang Ying seemed to understand a little bit, and pointed at herself, "Should I enter the Law School?"
Zhen Mi smiled, "Yes, this is just like doing business. The chamber of commerce has its own rules, and the officialdom also has its own rules. Wherever you go, you must abide by the rules... right? Some people fall down, and some want to go up.
, then the most we can do... is just take advantage of the opportunity to take a ride... As for where we can go in the future, it still depends on the girl herself... By the way, did you know that Zuo Xianren came to Chang'an... Look
Look, this matter in the pass... Hussar has already gone to Sichuan and Sichuan to make arrangements. Do you think there is anything in this world that Hussar has missed? What we are going to do now must be serious and upright.
...After all, who knows about this area and whether there are Wensi’s eyes and ears?』
"What?" The cool breeze blew from the lake, and Wang Shu couldn't help but hugged herself with both hands. She felt a little cold, "It's okay..."
Zhen Mi nodded, "Yes, it's okay."
Wang Ying felt like her head was in a mess, "What on earth are you talking about?"
Wang Shu chuckled, "Just tell her, I'll prepare some food..." After saying that, Wang Shu turned around and returned to the cabin.
Because it was a private party, except for a few confidants who controlled the ship, Zhen Mi did not arrange any maids to accompany her, so she had to make everything herself.
Zhen Mi waved to Wang Ying and motioned Wang Ying to move closer, "Sometimes I feel that this hussar is like a... Well, a hunter has set up a trap on the mountain early, waiting for the prey to fall into it...
…What didn’t you understand just now? You didn’t even understand? Oh…how can I explain this?”
Zhen Mi raised her head, seeming to be thinking about something, "Well, let's put it this way, the Hussar treats different people... Tsk, it can't be said to be different people, but people with positions are better than ordinary people."
There are more requirements... Naturally, I won't talk about it in the army. There is military law, but now the gentry, farmers, industry and merchants... By the way, there are also local gentry, and now even the Five Directions Catholic Church is like this... Do you understand?
Among the people, ordinary people are subject to jurisdiction, but they also have relatively few responsibilities. But once they are in power and have greater authority, they must bear more responsibilities... You cannot make mistakes. Once you make a mistake, you must
accept punishment……"
Wang Ying nodded, "It's like...the people in Taiyuan..."
"That's right." Zhen Mi nodded and said, "But Hussar is not completely unkind. He still gives people opportunities... For example, Wei Yuanzheng... Didn't Hussar ask Shenluyuan to do it?"
Are there any relevant laws and regulations on "self-examination and self-correction"? In fact, does this mean to warn Wei Yuanzheng? After all, there is Wen Si... you know... even your sister with the same surname, and those people who came to the family, there are
Everyone knows this, not to mention that Webster is so eye-catching..."
Wang Ying groaned, and then realized, "So Sister Zhen, you said this is a warning to Sister Wang? Then Sister Wang, isn't she..."
"Yeah." Zhen Mi nodded, "Don't worry, your sister Wang has already lent the person out, so it'll be fine... As long as next time, um, your sister Wang understands... So that's not what happened.
If you say you don't know, don't understand, or say you don't know, you can be exempted from responsibility..."
He is not a general in the army, but he has a strong martial artist in his family. What does he want to do? Even if Wang Shu doesn't think about it, others don't think so either?
"So no matter what, Wei Yuanzheng's position is probably not guaranteed..." Zhen Mi gently smoothed her hair that was messed up by the wind, "Now, there are many people in the Shenlu Yuan staring at Wei Yuanzheng's position.
There is Guo Gongze here, but is this Guo Gongze... He needs the support of others, so we can provide him with some support from outside the Shenlu Yuan... and then in exchange for you or Sister Xin, there will be someone inside the Shenlu Yuan.
Take care..."
Wang Ying nodded and sighed, "It's like when I go to Taiyuan, if I don't have you to take care of me... But I won't let Qiaoqi feel..."
Zhen Mi smiled and said: "No. Because... this is business... How can there be any problems with business? Hey, Sister Xin is here..."
She didn't say it completely, but she just couldn't say it now.
As for the future...
Zhen Mi walked to the side of the boat, holding on to the plank of the boat to pick up Xin Xianying, and greeted, "My sister is finally here... We have been waiting for a long time..."
Wang Ying also stood up and walked over, but she still glanced at Zhen Mi with some doubts, as if she felt that Zhen Mi still had something to say that she hadn't made clear.
Zhen Mi really didn't explain clearly. After all, many of these things were obtained by her own slow thinking and constant speculation. How could she possibly tell Wang Ying all of them?
Even though Zhen Mi is currently in alliance with Wang Ying and others, Zhen Mi also knows that this alliance cannot last long. As the status of their respective sisters increases, various problems will arise, and they are as harmonious as before.
The situation will disappear sooner or later.
This may be the reason why Hussar doesn't particularly care about them walking together.
Of course, Zhen Mi felt that there was another reason. It was because they were relatively small compared to Wei and others, as was Guo Tu. The emperor would not want to see his ministers become big, and that minister would become
If you are older, you will soon be in trouble, while the relatively weaker "ministers" will be more tolerant of the emperor.
