If Xue Laosan wants to be on TV, he doesn't have to do it every day, but he doesn't want to be in the limelight. (Ding Dian Novel)
At that time, when the TV station was first established, Meng Jun ordered the TV station's camera team to track the whereabouts of Mayor Xue every day. The daily Dejiang news almost became his personal special show, Mr. Xue.
Later, it was Xue Xiang who warned Meng Jun sternly, and his figure finally disappeared from the market.
Strictly speaking, Xue Laosan is a good comrade with general knowledge. He will not and is unwilling to challenge the rules of officialdom unless necessary.
The figure of one of his deputy mayors always appears on the market. What's the matter? Isn't this a clear declaration of war to seize the throne?
Secretly, declaring troops to seize the throne is regarded as ability, but when it is brought to the table, it smells like a fool.
But he said that after dinner, Mr. Su proposed to go for a walk outside.
Xue Laosan knew that the old man was about to give his final farewell words. After all, according to the old man's schedule, tomorrow was the day for him to return to Beijing, and the special trains in the provincial capital were all ready.
The old man is a senior and an elder. Xue Laosan can only listen attentively to his orders.
At that moment, he went back to the room and took out two jade gourds, which were sent by Xiao Nizi. They said they were collected from the prosperous China and were the most suitable for drinking tea and wine.
He filled two gourds with Dahongpao and led the old man westward.
In the evening of autumn, the setting sun is slightly wiping, the red clouds are like smoke, and the wandering evening wind is teasing the sweet-scented osmanthus, teasing the wicker branches, and quietly slipping past the three white strands of the old man's chin, creating a silvery wave.
.
The Xue family's mansion is not far from Yanbo Lake. It is almost across the lake from Yingxian Pavilion, and the area of Yingxian Pavilion is a bustling market. Xue Laosan's side has been manually cut into a pedestrian walkway and Wangjiang Park.
He and Mr. Su walked around here, bathing in the lake breeze and looking at the setting sun. An old man and a young man strolled by the lake, like a splash-ink landscape, and the old man's Taoist fairy style was exquisite and extraordinary. And small,
He is handsome, tall and handsome, holding a jade gourd in his hand. He is walking in the wind near the lake. He looks like the master and apprentice of the swordsman in the world of fairy tales.
From home to the lake, we walked about three to five miles without saying a word, and then we arrived at the lake. The old man found a bench and sat on it. He waved to Xue Xiang and pointed to the edge of the seat.
, motioning for Xue Laosan to sit down as well.
Indeed, at this age, the old man could still walk three to five miles at a stretch, so he was considered strong. Xue Laosan sat down on the chair as he was told.
If his prediction was correct, at this moment, the old man would personally speak up and issue a reprimand.
Sure enough, the old man unscrewed the jade gourd, took a sip, held it in his mouth, moistened his lips and tongue, then swallowed it again and said, "Xue Xiang, what is your ambition?"
Xue Laosan opened his mouth to answer, but was interrupted by the old man with a wave of his hand: "Think carefully, speak from your heart, don't tell me those boilerplate words, such empty talk as "serving the country and the people", this man...
After all, it is an animal. If it is an animal, then it has the nature of an animal.
Yes, regardless of law and morality, most people just act according to their own instincts. They are just people whose edges have been erased by social rules and regulations. They act within the scope of secular rules, but they also mostly follow egoism.
Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.”
"Serving the country and the people, these four words are simple to say, but extremely difficult to do. Which person who talks about serving the country and the people can withstand digging into the depths? There is no benefit to serving the country and the people, so why should he serve the country?
For the people? Not for money and power, but for fame. Just like the so-called eminent monks who vow to save all sentient beings and have no desires or pursuits. But are they really without desires and pursuits? What they seek is to attain enlightenment, become a Buddha, and leap forward.
Bliss."
"Even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who is overly mythologized by all living beings, once made a great wish that hell would never be empty and he would never become a Buddha, but he also wanted something, and what he asked for was even more excessive than that of the eminent monk.
What he wants is to become a Buddha and become an ancestor, to live forever and be indestructible for all eternity, so you and I don’t need to be so vain.”
What kind of person is Mr. Su? He has profound knowledge. After eighty years of ups and downs, his eyes have long reached the state of seeing the essence through phenomena.
Analyze the authenticity, speak out with a steel knife, cut bones and cramps, extremely sharp.
Xue Laosan said, indeed, the old man had figured out what he was thinking.
After the old man had just spoken, his conditioned reflex would usually be to say something similar to what the old man said about "serving the country and the people."
Since the old man only knew his true feelings at the moment, Xue Laosan did not want to hide his true feelings in front of the old man and said with a smile: "You really have a sharp eye."
He was about to continue, but he was interrupted by the old man with a wave of his hand, "It's not my eyes that are so bright, or what I just said, animal instincts, animals all have the desire to dominate, even ordinary villagers.
Husband, I once dreamed of becoming an emperor at night. You are young, you have a high position, and you have a bright future. If you don’t have the wisdom of the sky, I will look down on you.
, It is not a bad thing to have ambitions. Without ambitions, it will be difficult to achieve anything. If you have ambitions, plans, perseverance, perseverance, and a little bit of luck, I have never seen anyone who cannot achieve great things. But Xue Xiang,
What you want to achieve is not a big thing, but a grand vision that is admired by thousands of people. Do you think that to become such a person, besides what I just said, what else do you need?"
Xue Xiang did not expect that the old man would suddenly bring up this topic.
He is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart, he is familiar with Zizhi, Guigu, and is proficient in strategy. The old man's words are not the elders educating the younger ones, or in other words, the exchange of ideas between the old party members and the younger party members. They are clearly Zhuge Liang questioning Liu Xuande,
Yao Guangxiao asked Zhiyan and Zhu Di.
This is a big topic and difficult problem that encompasses the universe and embodies heaven and earth.
Looking at the 5,000-year history of China, whenever this question arises, it will become a famous allusion for future generations.
However, Xue Laosan did not feel like he was in the long river of history at this moment. He was racking his brains to think about the old man's question.
It is not difficult to say the answer to this question. After all, five thousand years of imperial history are stored on paper and in Xue Laosan's mind.
If you just name a pioneer, you can extract many necessary factors, and most of the necessary factors are what the old man just pointed out, or perseverance, or luck, or perseverance, or ambition, or ambition.
But it is extremely difficult to summarize the main points in a nutshell.
Xue Laosan thought hard for a long time, but with no results, he hugged the old man and said, "Please give me some advice, grandpa."
The old man took a sip of tea, looked at the misty clouds in the middle of the lake, and said with a sigh: "Only in this mountain, where the clouds are deep, it is very simple, just like what you are doing now is enough."
"What am I doing now?" Xue Laosan was confused.
Mr. Su gently twisted three strands of his long beard and said: "Xue Xiang, tell me, the fundamental reason why you are where you are today is due to the protection of Xue Anyuan? Or is it due to the care of the elders in the court?
?”
Without hesitation, Xue Xiang shook his head!
Indeed, he has the confidence to shake his head, and he has the status he has today because he shouldered the heavy burden of Mount Tai, worked hard step by step, and did not rely on anyone's favor.
On the contrary, with the achievements that Xue Laosan has made in these years, any official will never be in the position of deputy director.
From this perspective, his identity as Xue Laosan has become a fetter on his way forward.
The old man said: "That's it. You, Xue Xiang, are what you are today. You don't rely on anyone but yourself. I know that you are very favored in the eyes of many old comrades in the court, but you must clearly understand that this favor
You won't get it by following the rules and following the steps."
"It's because you are constantly thinking and coming up with amazing skills, and you often have astonishing insights on major matters. It is your magic, or your extraordinary ability, that gives you your current reputation. So, you
What you need to maintain is your fearless courage to stand alone, move forward boldly, and reach the top!"
"To put it in a simple word, it means personality. All big people have personality. Let's not talk about others. Take the former leader as an example. He was able to reach a high position in a force at the age of thirty, and his command was almost comparable to that of the enemy.
The insignificant armed force, after an arduous struggle and many life and death experiences, finally ascended to the world and made inquiries in all directions."
"Now that the leader has passed away, those who are fond of studying power and politics must use the leader's life as a case to analyze various things. If you think about it, in the eyes of this generation, what is the most impressive thing about the leader's magnificent life? I tell them
You, no
It is the leader’s wonderful articles, not the famous thoughts, but the leader’s heroic spirit, unique and extraordinary insights, four crossings of red water, thousands of miles of expeditions, mountain city negotiation banquets to Hongmen, the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China,
Fight against all opinions and resist the United States independently..."
"Is this step on foot and this narrow pass just due to luck? Absolutely not. It is the leader's independence that is greater than ordinary people, his unparalleled heroic spirit, and his extraordinary talents that are different from ordinary people.
He has achieved greatness that no one has ever seen before and no one will come after.”
"Xue Xiang, I am telling you this to let you remember that no matter whether you are an official or not, if you want to be the only one among ten thousand, you must maintain your own personality, just like you are now, taking big leaps and moving forward indomitably.
Regardless of slander, if we unite people's hearts, we will be able to accomplish great things in the end!"
"That's all. You can think about it slowly."
As he said that, Mr. Su picked up the gourd and drank slowly. From time to time, he raised his eyes to look far away. It seemed that the question by the lake that had stirred up all directions and affected history was not coming from his mouth. He was just an ordinary person.
Tong, they only care about elderly tourists visiting mountains and rivers.
Not surprisingly, Mr. Su's words set off huge waves in Xue Laosan's heart.
Xue Laosan knew very well that Mr. Su did not explicitly analyze the reason for this with him, but he felt like a mirror in his heart. The old man was giving him strength and helping him calm down. (To be continued...)
