"The king can teach you, but if you can't make the officials not violate it, they will not violate it. The officials can violate the teaching, but you can't make the king not listen to it. If you violate the teachings, it is a bad thing for the king; if you violate the teachings, but you listen, it will be a disaster for the officials.
Those who are inferior to those above will cause harm to those below, so this political matter should be ignored. Don’t encourage everyone!"
This was the first remonstrance Sima Zhi issued after meeting Li Shushi for the first time.
To be honest, when he heard these words, Li Shushi could be said to have been completely confused. The only words left in his mind were such as "That's awesome, are all the children of aristocratic families so perverted?" or "This is simply worse than a tongue twister."
I still have to twist my tongue." Although his face still managed to maintain an indifferent look, if you look closely, you can see that Li Shushi's eyes and brows are full of strong signs one by one, and he is enduring something.
Well, it can be said that Li Shushi felt his lack of knowledge in front of Sima Zhi like never before.
Of course, this does not mean that Sima Zhi is really more talented than Li Shushi's subordinates, but with the help of Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and others are all delicate and delicate, and their daily speech basically follows the red line that Li Shushi can understand.
Unless it is necessary to arouse Li Shushi's
Pay attention to it, otherwise the book bag will basically not be removed. After all, compared to using this method to make Li Shushi express emotions such as "It's awesome", it would obviously be more worthwhile if Li Shushi misunderstood her meaning and caused unnecessary trouble because she didn't understand.
As for women like Su Xiaoluoli and Ma Qing, who are equally knowledgeable, they may occasionally embarrass Li Shushi, but they will not nag you in front of Li Shushi about your incompetence or that, because even Diao, who likes to do this kind of thing the most,
Loli also knew that she needed to save some face for someone, otherwise she would be the one who would suffer if Li Shushi was really blackened.
Moreover, these considerate girls still hope to influence Li Shushi in a subtle way. After all, Li Shushi is not really unwilling to study, but sometimes things like IQ really cannot be forced.
But when Li Shushi faced a subordinate who didn't care about his boss's embarrassment, the result was enough to make Li Shushi feel ashamed and angry and want to hit the wall.
In fact, Sima Zhi's words were simply admonishing Li Shushi to lead by example and be diligent in political affairs, so that the entire bureaucracy could become clean and efficient.
Hoping to perform well in front of Li Shushi, Sima Zhi spoke a little faster. As a result, Li Shushi was directly stunned.
"Some things are very easy to just talk about with words. The key is to implement them with actions."
However, even if his brain cannot react for a while, Li Shushi is not completely helpless. There are many official articles that Li Shushi can barely understand even if he is not a royal penman. It is appropriate to use them here to save himself.
"What Lord Zhou Mu said is true, and Zihua also believes in it."
"Then I will first appoint you as the governor of Cao Cao in the prefecture, and you will be in charge of military law by my side. I wonder if Zihua feels that he has given in."
Although this young man does not seem to have a great reputation in Bingzhou, he is a person who throws a lot of truth to himself from the beginning. Either he likes to talk or has a straightforward temperament, so putting him by his side as the deputy of the military judge can test him first.
The other party's talent and learning will not cause any adverse consequences even if the other party is really a boastful person.
Of course, if the other party is really talented, it will not be difficult to be promoted, and colleagues will be more convinced.
"I am willing to take up this position." Even so, there was still a look of regret on the young man's face.
For Sima Zhi, he hoped that he could obtain a position such as the magistrate of a county that could control a place. It didn't matter even if it was a small county. He was confident that he could do a good job, but obviously this hope came to nothing.
.
Although it is a bit regretful, this situation is also expected by Sima Zhi. After all, due to the suppression of the family, his reputation is only spread among a limited number of peers and other family members who have a closer relationship with the family.
And because he didn't have any shocking performance, whether it was the sophisticated Sima Lang, the talented Sima Yi or even the less talented Sima Fu, his reputation was better than his.
Although there are rumors that Li Shushi, the state pastor, is good at reading people and can find outstanding talents in the rough. There are even some rumors that Li Shushi can judge the future achievements of others just by looking at them, but the listener
Most people regard this as a joke. It's just that Sima Zhi is still a young man after all, and he had some illusions before.
Although his fantasy was shattered, Sima Zhi was not discouraged, because starting from the bottom would make him more steadfast, and future promotions must be due to actual performance, which would be beneficial to his future career.
However, it is precisely because of this that Sima Zhi needs to work harder so that he can stand out quickly.
"Then do you have anything else to ask for?"
"I hope you can send all my monthly salary to my mother. If I unfortunately die one day, I hope you can find a careful person to take care of my mother instead. Her health is not very good.
I'm worried that no one can take care of my mother like I do, and there are little things about her that only I will pay attention to."
"I can promise you this. I will ask my wife to send someone to take care of your mother, so that you can work for me without any worries. You can tell my wife clearly what kind of people are needed and what things need to be paid attention to.
"
"Then, please, my lord, pay homage to Sima Zihua. Zihua will definitely serve your lord well."
As Sima Zhi joined Li Shushi's bureaucracy, the cooperation between Li Shushi and Sima could be said to have officially begun. In the following days, a lot of shocking news broke out.
As the current head of the Sima family, Sima Fang, who has already retired as an official, entered the official school founded by Li Shushi and safely discussed knowledge with the group of old masters to teach his disciples. However, the original serious face of Sima Fang was now full of fulfillment and joy.
With his smile, you can tell that perhaps the old man, who has no entangled interests behind him, is extremely satisfied with this arrangement.
In addition, many children of the Sima family began to study in children's schools and youth schools under the official school, and Sima Yi, known as the most talented child of the Sima family, became Li Shushi's disciple.
Of course, this last one made everyone feel astonished. After all, Li Shushi had no reputation for knowledge, unless Sima Yi planned to learn how to fight with Li Shushi. But in the eyes of people who are quite familiar with Li Shushi, they are the only ones now
All you have to do is look at this poor little kid who is about to go to hell with sympathy and pity.
Well, you can completely imagine how many "postures" a stinky young lady like Sima Yi would learn under the training, no, education of two weird aunts Su Xiaololi and Luo He...
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others all said that they were finally out of the sea of suffering.
Under the leadership and demonstration effect of the Sima family, the powerful people from aristocratic families who had always had a tense relationship with the Bingzhou Army gradually showed signs of easing. Some young powerful children of powerful families were even tentatively sent to official schools, and those The most outstanding children who had been hidden and protected at home also began to enter Li Shushi's bureaucracy.
Among these people, Li Shushi was most pleased with the "two kings" from Taiyuan County and Yang Jun from Hanoi. Together with Guan Qiuxing and Xiao Jia Kui, who had been by Li Shushi's side earlier, Li Shushi suddenly felt that there seemed to be people around him. Become rich in talents.
The "two kings" of Taiyuan County are two young men with the same name in Taiyuan County. Although they are both from families surnamed Wang, one is from Qi County and the other is from Jinyang. They are powerful families in Taiyuan County. .
Among them, Wang Ling, who came from Qi County, was the nephew of Wang Yun, who had already been promoted to Situ in the dynasty. He originally studied with Wang Yun in Luoyang. Later, due to the turmoil in Luoyang and Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, Wang Yun became worried about the situation in Luoyang. , Secondly, I also hope that my outstanding nephew can return to his hometown to study knowledge, and then become an official at the right time, and strive to get Xiaolian's recommendation.
Yes, although Wang Yun was not very fond of Li Shushi from a personal perspective, when he followed Liu Hong to Xihe, he had to admit that even if some of Li Shushi's actions had the potential to be a sycophant, at least Li Shushi He is also an official who loves the people, and the area under his jurisdiction can also be said to be politically connected and people-friendly. Although a large part of the credit belongs to Li Shushi's outstanding subordinates, being such an official's subordinate should allow Wang Ling to gain a lot. exercise.
The reason why Wang Ling did not respond to Li Shushi's conquest until now that he was eighteen years old was not because Wang Ling had any bad opinion of Li Shushi. On the contrary, this young man who was not much different in age from Li Shushi had considerable recognition of Li Shushi. He admired him for achieving so many achievements at such a young age. Because of this, he believed that in addition to further enriching himself in knowledge and literary talent, he also needed to learn more martial arts and military tactics, so that he could be qualified to follow Li Shushinan Conquer the Northern War, and even if there is a chance in the future, he can become a frontier official like Li Shushi who leads the troops to guard one side alone.
Another young hero with the surname Wang, named Wang Ling, is Wang Chang, a young man from the Wang family in Jinyang.
The Wang family in Jinyang is also a family of officials that should not be underestimated. In Wang Chang's father's generation alone, there are two high-ranking officials worth two thousand dan - one is Wang Chang's uncle Wang Rou and Wang Shuyou, who is now serving as a senior official in Luoyang. If it had not been for Li Shushi's butterfly that allowed Qu Yi to obtain the position of Beizhonglangjiang, he would have been Wang Chang's uncle. And Wang Chang's father would have been in that position now. That is to say, Wang Rou's younger brother Wang Ze and Wang Jidao are the current governor of Daijun. He showed his face once when the Xianbei invaded Bingzhou (Volume 5, 97).
Compared with the dire straits of Luoyang, the border area of Daijun is not a safe place. Even if the Xianbei people were hit hard, it was only the western Xianbei. The central Xianbei took the opportunity to expand a lot of territory and inherited the traditions of the western Xianbei.
There are also some Wuwan tribes who are also quite vacillating, and their attitude is even more unpredictable than that of the Xianbei people. So like Wang Ling, Wang Chang was left in his old house in Jinyang instead of following his father to Daijun.
It is also worth mentioning that the relationship between Wang Ling and Wang Chang did not make them competitive with each other because they were both famous. Instead, they were quite harmonious. Wang Ling was older than Wang Chang, so Wang Chang always treated him like his own family.
Treating Wang Ling like an elder brother, the two of them encouraged each other to make progress together. This is also a good story in Taiyuan County.
