Chapter 107 Qu Cai
The position of prime minister is easy to say. But behind this easy thing, there is something that is not easy. This is the different result of luck and strength after making things succeed. After decades of hard work, God has also lived up to his efforts, so that he can be rich and extremely rich, and then return to his hometown and protect his armor. Usually, no one will gossip and act secretly. Unless this person succeeds by doing something unreasonable.
If this person was just an idle person before, the naughty scoundrels in the streets and alleys only know how to eat, drink and play all day long, and look for trouble. In the eyes of neighbors and elders and relatives, he is an unlearned person. Anyway, in a word: it must be a person with no future. But such a person suddenly became rich overnight. How can this not make the people around him feel strange? Of course, the most important thing is not to feel strange. The people around them, whether good or bad, have had a quarrel with this person, or they usually get along well and like-minded. Anyway, all the people around this person, whether good or evil, beautiful or ugly, at the same time, most of their hearts are still full of deep envy and jealousy. Don't think it's wrong. This is human nature and an unchangeable fact.
Once this person has a jealous and envious heart, of course, there will be some follow-up things. Of course, not everyone will be like this, but there must be someone like this. In fact, what I said is nothing more than what I want to say. This Prime Minister Wang Ye came so easily, and behind this ease, of course, many things will emerge. That's why Wang Ye acted so carefully and acted as a secretary of the Ministry of Household before the major reform. Even today, in the barracks of the Western Camp, if you want to promote the stewil of the small punishment department in front of you, you have to weigh it in your heart.
I thought about all the relationships in my heart. After this weighing, Wang Ye still decided to give him a chance. Even to the stewman, "You don't have to answer the question I asked you just now. I have understood your views and opinions in my heart, but I have seen them from today's conversation with you. I am very green with you. I am a talented person like you, but I am a little condescending to be a small punishment department in the barracks of this Western Camp Army.
The stewman was still thinking hard about how to answer the Prime Minister in front of him. What he just asked didn't expect the Prime Minister to suddenly say so again. Immediately, he was overjoyed and said, "I am so loved by the Prime Minister. Today, in front of the Prime Minister, I also said the frivolous words of this scholar. I think that there are still some talents in my stomach, but I have been suffering from not being able to find a proper opportunity and have never carried forward all the talents in this belly.
Wang Ye laughed and said, "You and I are all from scholars. What's the harm in saying a few words of this scholar's frivolousness? However, since I joined the office, I have seen countless officials who stole their reputation with this sage book. Since entering this officialdom, none of these former scholars can say the frivolous words of this scholar. Today, I listened to you here. Suddenly, I felt that this was strange and ingenious. I liked it very much in my heart. Haha..."
The old stewor also followed and smiled: "The Prime Minister said this funny, but in this funny, he has never lost the truth. What the Prime Minister said is right. Nowadays, the scholars in the world, who read this sage book, want to get a merit and reputation in order to seek glory and wealth. In fact, this is understandable. After all, after reading this sage book, you should also make use of what the sages learned in this book. If you don't just read it, you will read more sage books. If you read this sage book well, you can only say that you have not learned a word.
Wang Ye nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. Reading this sage book is the greatest use to serve the court and the emperor and work for the people of the world. Therefore, people who read books are all famous for their merit, and since their appearance, they have used this way of reading the book of sages and learning the way of saints as a tool for seeking officials. In the end, it is what has been learned in this sage book, and there is nothing to say why to learn this sage book and the way of the first saint. Even if you say it, it must be to get fame, step into an official career, and seek a chance to be a famous official. Of course, it's good to have such an idea. I'm afraid that some people will go directly for the glory and wealth, not for the sake of the imperial court and the people.
"So today's officials, although they have stolen the fame of reading this book of sages and learning this way of saints, have been able to enter their official careers and get rid of their bitter identity. However, after a long career and many days of ups and downs in this sea of eunuchs, they have forgotten that the sages they had learned in this sage book before, and their whole body and mind were put on the battle of this officialdom, and they had long forgotten their previous bitter and cold identity and forgot that they had read this saint at the beginning. The book of sages, learn this first saint's way, and get a reputation in the future, what should be done. Nowadays, most officials are like this, that's why your words just came out. Of course, among most of the officials, there is no such thing as the noble family and nobles. The stewman said.
After listening to the old steward's words, Wang Ye laughed again and said to him, "Just now, I talked to you about something that shouldn't have said to you, but I found that today's thing that should not have been told to you to this person that you shouldn't listen to is the right person. This is why I got you as a talented person. And what you just said has made me know more about you, but you are still a reader who can always remember the way of the sages, the book of the sages. Judging from the frivolous words of your scholar, the person who can say that word must be so. I really like this about you. To say a shameless word here, that is, I can't say such words now, so when you say this, when I first heard this, I was really strange but liked it, but now that I think about it, I am more ashamed.
The stewman saw that the Prime Minister said so, even he quickly said, "Where did the Prime Minister say this? I miss you always working hard for the emperor of the imperial court, the society, and the people of the people. Although it can't be said that you are like the emperor, you are also conscientious and do your best. The Prime Minister has made such great contributions and sacrifices for the people of the world, but he can't say the words of some scholars. Who dares to make fun of you? Even the emperor has no reason to say something disrespectful. What's more, what the Prime Minister has done is much more meaningful and practical than the words of the scholar. It can be said that there is no sound for me.
"Ha ha..." Wang Ye listened to the old steward's "enlightenment", and his heart was also lively, and there was no such a sense of shame. He said to the steward's old man, "I understand what you mean. I just have more shame in my heart, and it's not a big deal. It's you. Although I already know that you have a great talent, I didn't expect that you could have such a good eloquence. How could you be the stewmer of the punishment department in this Western Camp army? You should take advantage of your wonderful eloquence to be the lobbyist who negotiates with the enemy. Haha..." Wang Ye got a virtuous talent at this moment, and he was so comfortable that he put down the Xuanyuan court and the air of the prime minister, and joked with the stewman.
This stewer is a talented man. How can he not understand what the Prime Minister said in front of him was joking. Even if he didn't take it seriously, he just laughed and said, "Don't make fun of the subordinates. This little eloquence of Shimoguan can only be talked and eloquent when he meets a wise person like you, the Prime Minister. If you really go to negotiate with the enemy, it is impossible. After all, negotiating with people requires not only good eloquence, but also some real talent to learn from the point of "watching words and color".
Wang Ye smiled and said, "What you said is right. What I just said was just a whim. It's just a joke with you. Don't pay attention to it and just laugh it."
Even if the stewman said, "The subordinate knows in his heart, how dare he take it to heart? The lower official has already laughed it off.
"In fact, the Prime Minister is reluctant to pull you away and be the lobbyist in this Western Camp Army." Wang Ye looked at the stewman and continued, "Can you have such a great talent and can only be used in this small Western camp army? If so, you can't say that you have lost your talents, but that you have buried your talents. Talents like you must use this court to work for the rivers and mountains of our court and the people of the people.
The steward heard Wang Ye's words and cried even if he was not moved. In this case, I don't know how many years the steward has not heard someone say to himself, even if someone has said it, they are also people who are not ambitious like him.
