Chapter 2931 Looking back, there is still a way, but fools are confused
When there is no problem, it seems that the world is peaceful, but once a problem arises, countless problems appear one after another, stepping on the heels all over the floor.
Before Li Dian came up with any strategy to target the peddler, someone arrived in Nanzheng and delivered the famous sect to see Li Dian.
This person is Wang Kai.
He is going to be a lobbyist.
Part-time lobbyist.
Wang Kai’s serious profession is to eat, drink and have fun.
Wang Kai was in Chang'an and worked with Guan Ning and Lu Yu for a while, but he did not get a good position. Because he has wealth but no talent, he has money alone, but his abilities are not enough.
But the problem is that Wang Kai himself doesn't think there is anything wrong with him.
He felt that he was very smart and that others were fools.
If he was in Shandong, a person like Wang Kai would be like a fish in water, because although he was not capable enough, he would do as long as he got a name. He only needed to have a little judgment ability, so he could use money to exchange for other people's brains to let those poor families act as his disciples.
If you give some money to others, it will be his.
It’s his best to give some money.
Then someone came to invite him, and someone came to vote. Anyway, as long as he got famous, everything would be easy to say.
What do Chinese people like the most? Ranking! As long as they spend money on the ranking, even if there is something wrong, most people dare not say anything. After all, when they see that the ranking is so high, they can be a little bit too much. I don’t think it’s right. It may be my problem, otherwise how can I be so top-notch?
But here in Chang'an, Wang Kai's Jinyuan offensive was not very good.
Why do people sell in Shandong? It is because those poor families know that they can’t get there, so it’s better to sell them for a few dollars.
This is the general environment, and individuals are often unable to fight, but Chang'an is different.
In Chang'an, it can be said to be a paradise for poor families. As long as individuals have the ability, they can climb up!
In this way, will anyone easily sell their wisdom crystallization?
So Wang Kai couldn't play anymore.
Guan Ning took office, and Lu Yu became a minor official and left him, but he still could not squeeze into Fei Qian's political circle.
Because he only has money, his mind cannot be said to be bad, but his ability is mainly used to eat, drink, play, and other aspects...
Guan Ning advised him to read more books. Lu Yu said that the school recruited attendees, but Wang Kai could no longer continue reading. He was already past the golden age of studying and was casual. He felt sleepy when he picked up the book. He was hit by the book several times. If most of the books in Chang'an had not been changed to paper versions, Wang Kai would have disfigured now.
Moreover, Wang Kai’s most annoying thing is what others teach him to do. Don’t he understand these principles?
It's really annoying.
Super irritable.
Seeing that my "good friends" came ashore one by one, I felt really uncomfortable, but I was struggling in the sea of suffering.
Wang Kai is Wang Can's brother. When he left Jingzhou and went to Chang'an, whether it was Guan Ning Lu Yu or someone else who asked why he left Jingzhou and came to Chang'an, Wang Kai always looked sad and choked and said nothing, so naturally others would not ask again.
After all, there must be politeness that should be, and it is not being questioned...
But if it is really interrogated, Wang Kai can't hide it.
Wang Kai originally thought that his task was very easy, and with Wang Can's name, he could easily get into Fei Qian's political circle, but he didn't expect that even if he was famous and rich, he would still not be able to get into it!
Chang'an only recognizes the imperial examination, why are you so careless?
Don't know how to be flexible?
When he was helpless, people from Shandong brought him a new batch of money, but also warned him that if he could not do anything, he would either go back to Shandong or cut off the supply of money.
How can this be done?
Without money, it is equivalent to killing him!
However, Guan Ning and Lu Yu both went to Longxi, and Wang Kai could not find anyone else to find out the news. In addition, Chang'an Youwen Si's name is also prominent. He wanted to test it out, but one was unable to do it, and two was not brave...
So Wang Kai looked for various "secret books" that could be effective in the Qinglong Temple, which really made him spend a lot of money, such as "The Secrets of Lobbyists", "The Essence of the Analects of Confucius", "Twelve Questions of Military Officials", etc., all of which were all "good books" that have been heard of by some people who have heard of business opportunities and worked hard, claiming to be a "good book" that can save time and effort and improve personal abilities.
You can enjoy life without hard work. Isn’t this everyone’s dream?
Wang Kai also thought so.
Later, when he heard that Li Dian arrived in Hanzhong, Wang Kai felt that the opportunity had come, so he happily went from Chang'an to Nanzheng, and handed over the famous assassin to ask for a visit.
Wang Kai strode forward with a high spirit, touching the "Lobbyist Secret" in his arms, feeling that he had a complete book.
He is here to be a great lobbyist today!
When Wang Kai felt that he was OK when he was preaching others.
Before coming, Wang Kai prepared several arguments according to what he wrote in the book.
But the most confident thing is that Wang Kai thinks it should start with the word "power".
Does Li Dian like authority?
Must like it!
Wang Kai thinks, how can a real man be powerless for a day?
Yes, Sun Sanpang?
Some people think that power is wonderful or mysterious, because as long as you hold such authority in your hands, you can cause bloody storms at any time. But similarly, if power fails, then the one who could have made trouble will immediately become a naked clown.
The word authority is visible but intangible.
It is said that it is tangible, including official seals, official robes, guards of honor, whips, hinges, handcuffs, guns, sticks, etc., which are all manifestations in some form, but they are invisible, because no matter what instruments represent authority, the first ones to come into contact with these items are not the officials, but the working people and the poor craftsmen.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Kai just saw the appearance and felt that he understood.
Isn't this super simple?
But he didn't go deeper, nor did he know why the same thing had different functions in different places? It was just an item in the craftsman's place, but it represented authority in the hands of the emperor?
Some people stand up, with mystery and fooling each other, because God gave authority!
In feudal dynasties, most of the rights of local officials were granted by the emperor, or granted by the central government, or by the organization, so they naturally respect the upper class of the organization and obey the emperor. However, when the emperor is weak, local officials will immediately become arrogant and feel that they may be the next emperor?
At least when the upper-level organization cannot directly manage it, he will infinitely expand his authority and then exert all his abilities to absorb more benefits.
But in fact, power is for the exchange of brains.
Simply put, it is like paying a protection fee, and the lower class pays a part of the brain, allowing the upper class to think on their behalf.
Of course, it is not to really pry open your head and take out a handful of brain matter to others, but this is what it means.
Originally, this was just a basic division of labor and cooperation between humans, but when people with superficial power found that they could use the power in their hands to obtain more benefits and instruct more others, greed became synonymous with the power.
From ancient witches to later officials.
The same lineage.
Wang Kai naturally didn't know this. He just did things according to his own understanding. The key is that he also felt that others were preaching and became irritated after listening to it.
You can't listen or read books, you can only understand half of your knowledge and half of your Analects of Confucius to conquer the world...
This is a kind of misplaced thinking, but Wang Kai feels that he is right.
This misaligned thinking model does not exist only in the officialdom, but in many places. For example, capitalists misalign themselves with the understanding that all employees' bodies belong to them and must be controlled by them. Then it is a sin for employees to watch their mobile phones during lunch time...
Wang Kai himself did not notice any problem, just like the officials of the Big Bear Kingdom, they didn't feel that they had done anything wrong. Wang Kai was so eager for authority, just like he was eager for some gods to perform great tricks on him one day, and then he had some great skills and peerless talents.
Anyway, for Wang Kai, it is impossible to put in hard work. He will never put in hard work in this life, and he can only barely survive by cheating. The cheating he made before was money, but now the ability of this thing is insufficient, so he must find new merits to recharge.
He came to Hanzhong.
Wang Kai himself likes authority, because with authority, others can obediently listen to his preaching, so he believes that the word authority is certainly something that Li Dian cannot refuse. He hates those who preach him the most, those who tell him what to do, but he also hates those who don’t let him preach, those who don’t listen to his good advice.
Simply put, he said that others are OK, that is a good word. Why do others have reasons not to listen? Others say that others are not allowed. Is it interesting to preach every day? How can I not understand this?
Wang Kai found Li Dian and was ready to talk about it.
Wang Kai felt that he had seized a good opportunity...
Although Hanzhong is not big, it is not small compared to other places. What is important is that Hanzhong is the place, and Li Dian has the final say!
This means that Li Dian enjoyed the deliciousness of "authorization" for the first time!
If Li Dian loses the authority of this delicious food at this time, can he bear it?
So isn't the strategy just coming out?
Hanzhong is far away from Chang'an and separated from Qinling Mountains!
Back then, Zhang Lu, and then Zhang Ze, Zhang Liao was transferred! What does this mean? It means that the cavalry must be because they are worried that Zhang Liao is in Hanzhong!
Under such circumstances, if Li Dian takes over Zhang Liao, will the Cavalry feel relieved?
Obviously impossible!
Things in the Western Regions are the lessons learned from the past!
Wang Kai felt that he seemed to have grabbed Li Dian's vital point and pinched his balls.
When the General of the Cavalry left Chang'an, then Chang'an would undoubtedly be a huge vortex of danger.
Can Hanzhong escape?
In this case, people with a little common sense understand that if Fei Qian cannot handle the affairs of the Western Regions well, then the most prominent figure today may immediately fall to the mortal world tomorrow...
In fact, falling into the world and neglecting the family is considered the best ending. For Wang Kai, who has witnessed the political struggle between Luoyang and Jingzhou with his own eyes, countless heads and bloodshed are often the final outcome of these losers.
So whoever loses, whoever wins, is very important.
Wang Kai felt that he had to stand on the side that he would always win, and felt that no matter what, the Han emperor would not lose, and the Han emperor was the Han emperor.
The Emperor of Han is now Liu Xie, and may not be Liu Xie in the future, but he is still the Emperor of Han.
Whether it is Cao Cao, Fei Qian, or Dong Zhuo, He Jin, or Huo Guang, Wang Mang who is moving forward...
Isn’t the Han emperor still the Han emperor?
Authority is still that authority.
As long as such authority remains, the green mountains will surely be able to set a red sunset.
For hundreds of years, examples of success and defeat of the Han Dynasty can be piled up in mountains.
Therefore, Wang Kai felt that he was absolutely stable. At this moment, he claimed to represent the imperial party, the central court, and the glorious great man who had been for three or four hundred years!
So when Wang Kai faced Li Dian, with one point of friendship, he had another six points of pride and a hidden three points of contempt.
That's right, Wang Kai looked down on Li Dian and thought Li Dian was just a defeated general...
Therefore, Wang Kai was a little unpolite.
『General Li,』 Wang Kai said in a deep voice, almost straight to the point, 『Now the Han Dynasty is in chaos, only the loyal Majesty is the right way! The emperor, God has given it! I wonder if the general agrees?』
Li Dian was stunned for a moment. The reason he saw Wang Kai was because on the one hand, Wang Kai said that he was Wang Can's brother, and he was somewhat involved in Wang Can's reputation. On the other hand, Wang Kai was from Shanyang, and Li Dian also wanted to know some news about his hometown, but he never expected that Wang Kai would throw out such a sentence after sitting down and chatting for a few words.
Wang Kai looked at Li Dian's expression, then shook his head more and more. He felt that he had achieved success in Qinglong Temple. Look, just one sentence could scare Li Dian to restlessness.
The secret of lobbyists, the first move.
"Confused mind".
Well, to put it bluntly, it's just a scare.
It is said that General Fei Qian, the Cavalry General, also played this trick in Jingzhou. He had not met him at that time. Wang Kai felt that if he had come out a few years earlier, he would be hum...
『General!』 Wang Kai continued, 『Why is the cavalry expedition to the west? The injustice of the Western Regions. Why is the injustice of the Western Regions? The injustice of the cavalry? The inappropriate political policies of the cavalry."
Li Dian smiled and said, "Oh? What's wrong?"
Wang Kai suddenly felt energetic and cheered up his sleeves and said, "One, it is inappropriate to obtain talents. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, so naturally they cannot be blamed completely. Now, the cavalry is limited to the imperial examination and uses rigid questions to determine all the states in the world. Isn't it wrong to do this?"
This kind of remark was not exclusively created by Wang Kai, and it even lasted for a long time and was still very popular in later generations.
It sounds like some reason, just like some people think that "civil and martial arts are all-round" is an impossible thing, and they think it is a difficult thing. They have to practice martial arts and learn literature. They think that the two are irreconcilable, but in fact it is really that?
But some people deliberately forgot that when did they start to have such so-called "contradictory" when learning martial arts and literature?
If you are separated from the specific situation and just talk about the concept of absoluteness, you will be in a bad mood.
A civil and military talent, first of all, what is "talent"?
It is not easy to cultivate any science to the top. No one said that he could reach the peak easily in many subjects. Although there are many geniuses, most of them are ordinary people. Therefore, the standard for the "civil and military versatility" of ordinary people is naturally not measured by the peak.
The imperial examination system is definitely not something that can be blocked by the so-called etiquette and customs, but that etiquette and customs adapt to and accept it.
Although the imperial examination system has been ups and downs in history, it has become the basic standard for measuring a person's ability, and finally evolved into the examination system in later generations, which can prove what the standard requirements for basic talents in human society are.
In the imperial examination, the foundation is always the one that tests the shortest board, which cannot be lower than the lower limit.
Wang Kai's words replace universality with extremes.
Li Dian did not comment, neither saying it was right nor saying it was wrong.
Wang Kai shook his head proudly.
"If you dare to ask what other ideas you have, why not talk about them together..." Li Dian continued to ask, and he wanted to hear what this half of the fellow villager could say.
"Of course there is. Secondly, it is inappropriate to use people in the cavalry." Wang Kai shook his head and was very proud. "The current chaos in the Western Regions is a clear proof! If it weren't for the mistaken employment of people in the cavalry, how could there be any worries in the Western Regions? What's more...
Wang Kai glanced at Li Dian and gave a little contempt, "General, don't you realize it now?"
"What did you realize?" Li Dian pretended to be stupid and asked back.
"Lu Fengxian will die!" Wang Kai said firmly, "Lu Fengxian's death was the victim of the cavalry! The cavalry knew that he was brave but not capable of helping the counselors, just to let Lu Fengxian die! Only in this way can he take over the Western Regions! Take on his achievements! Poor Lu Fengxian worked hard but made wedding clothes for others!"
"In this way, General, don't you realize it yet?" Wang Kai raised his eyebrows and said.
"What did you realize again?" Li Dian continued to pretend to be confused.
Wang Kai shouted loudly, "The next Lu Fengxian is you, General!"
『…』 Li Dian didn't know what to say for a moment.
Wang Kai thought that Li Dian was shocked by his theory, so he became more and more proud. He shook his head and said, "The cavalry started from duckweed, and his foundation was unstable, so he used more foreign surnames at first, but now it gradually became its momentum. This foreign surname has gone from helping to obstacles! Now the Western Regions are just the beginning!"
Li Dian waved his hand and said, "How is it possible? The cavalry is unparalleled and magnanimous, how could he do such a thing?"
Wang Kai just laughed, neither refuting immediately nor continuing to say anything. This is the second secret trick of lobbyists he learned in Qinglong Temple, "Leave blank".
Wang Kai felt that if the cavalry was not prepared for Lu Bu, why could they send troops? If they were not careful about Zhang Liao, why should they transfer Zhang Liao away? If they did not doubt Li Dian, why would they not let Li Dian serve in the third auxiliary officer of Chang'an?
So is the answer very simple?
Wang Kai felt that Li Dian would have such worries, and he only needed to expand this worries and then form a crack. It would be best if Li Dian could do something, so that he could complete the task assigned by Shandong and go back to get the reward!
"General! This Lu Fengxian is a surrendered general!" Wang Kai said in a deep voice.
Li Dian's face finally changed uncontrollably, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Wang Kai was very proud, feeling that he finally hit Li Dian's "critical point", so he shook his head and said, "There are so many fools in the world! But it's hard to look back! In fact, General, this food in a foreign land may not be as good as possible!"
