Chapter 120 Struggle
The steward said righteously, "Your Excellency is wrong, but your Excellency has misinterpreted the meaning of the subordinate. The meaning of the subordinate is not to let the Prime Minister change his character and change his nature. The subordinate also said that the Prime Minister also understands. The nature of the country is easy to change. This person's character and nature are all determined, and can be changed as soon as it can be changed? The meaning of the lower official's words is to let the Prime Minister pay attention to himself, or let the people around him wake up to the Prime Minister. It is also hoped that the Prime Minister will be boldly open in terms of future employment. Don't be afraid of others, and have less doubts and suspicion in your heart. Above people, don't be nepotism. In terms of dealing with things, be less hesitant, more decisive, and be able to do it. That is to say, you should reflect the identity and spirit of the Prime Minister in this way of dealing with people and things. Don't be calculating and indecisive when you do things like a small citizen in the market.
Speaking of this, the stewman suddenly leaned over to the prime minister and said, "Actually, the subordinate should not have said these words today. It's just that when the subordinate meets this truth, he has a feeling that he can't spit it out, so if the subordinate's words today contradict you, please forgive the prime minister. Don't go to this heart. Just think of what the official said. It's just a joke. Just laugh it off.
Wang Ye laughed and said, "Why do you have to be like this? If you talk to me on weekdays, or listen to others, maybe you will really be punished for the crime of collision. However, today, I met a lot of things in this Western Camp army, and also understood a lot of things. What's more, do I understand that there is such a number one person as you in this Western Camp army that I have not found before. And I also know the truth of what you said, but I am not satisfactory in this way of dealing with people. In terms of employing people, I dare not use it boldly. I am always afraid that it will be unfavorable to my officials. In terms of processing, it is even more indecisive. Every next decision is thinking and deliberation, lest it be wrong. In this way, although it is a little careful and stable, it often misses many important opportunities and moments, and then it is too late to regret it.
Speaking of this, Wang Ye also sighed and said sadly, "Although I have been in the position of prime minister recently. But the official's personal strength, the power behind him, and the power of our Wang family. You must also know how much power and power there is in this fallen imperial city and how much influence there is in this Xuanyuan court. Therefore, although I have not entered the cabinet as an example before, I am just a minister of the Ministry of Household. Originally, with this one alone, he was a senior official in your eyes, but in the eyes of the Liu Taishi, he was the household secretary of the small official, which was not enough to compete with them. However, although the official position is small, the family power behind the official does not dare to underestimate this Liu Taishi. Therefore, since I entered this court, I have fought with Liu Taishi for more than ten years. It's also a shame. In the more than ten years of this struggle, I have rarely got the upper hand. If it hadn't been for the fact that the Wang family, which was too huge, in this Xuanyuan court and the fallen imperial city, the influence was very large, and various forces were intertwined among them, the emperor would not dare to underestimate our Wang family, the influence and power in this fallen imperial city. Therefore, I was protected by the strong foundation of my ancestors. Although I can't fight with this Liu Taishi, I can't do anything about this Liu Taishi.
When the stewman saw the Prime Minister say such a lost word, he also knew what the Prime Minister meant. After thinking about it, he said to the prime minister, "Actually, you don't need to talk about your incompetence like this. The adult's family background is so prominent, and the subordinates also know it. However, in the view of the subordinates, this Liu Taishi can't suppress you, and it is entirely because of your family power. After all, the power behind a person is huge, but he has no ability, so he can't escape the fate of the destruction of this family. And your excellency, as the head of this Wang family, this Wang family, under your agent, although it cannot be said to be prosperous, has never been depressed. And you, one, have been fighting with the Liu Taishi for more than ten years, and the Liu Taishi also has nothing to do with you. I also admit that this may be the reason for the family power behind you, so that this Liu Taishi dare not easily touch you. The servant would like to say a word of disrespect to you, and please forgive me. If you are just a straw bag, you may no longer be the opponent of Liu Taishi. Moreover, this group of Liu Taishi are all people who say some nice words, do some flattering things in front of the emperor all day long, and instigate the emperor how to have fun. These stupid officials followed the emperor's nature and blinded the emperor's eyes, so that the emperor did not understand right and wrong. They thought that these stupid officials were loyal to themselves, so they were very fond of these stupid officials. These stupid officials have become big celebrities in front of the emperor. The number of Liu Taishi is already more than your side, and the emperor loves you deeply, but you still can't defeat you, which also illustrates one thing from another aspect. This matter is that in your struggle with Liu Taishi, you do not completely rely on the power of the Wang family behind you. The power is also your own ability.
After hearing this, Wang Ye still said sadly, "You don't need to comfort me like this. I still know what kind of person I am. Although there are some reasons for what you said, in my opinion, the reasons you mentioned are all secondary, not mainly among them. Although our Wang family is powerful, I also said that this group of Liu Taishi is somewhat afraid of the strength of our Wang family1. However, the power of this Liu Taishi and the whole family are not worse than my Wang family. And I am always at a disadvantage in the struggle with Liu Taishi, or because I am indecisive and not bold enough to use people. In my opinion, this is the main reason.
After listening to the Prime Minister's words, the steward said in his heart: You have admitted your mistake positively. Although this stewman is only a prisoner in the Western Camp army, he has not been in contact with these upper-level officials before. After all, he is only a minor official. This palace is not qualified to enter. How can he have a chance to get to know the superiors of this second grade? However, when Wang Ye was just serving as the prime minister, both officials and ordinary people in the fallen imperial city used Wang Ye as a post-dinner talk to talk nonsense and pass the time. This is the case in the fallen imperial city, and the Western Camp army is even more happy. After all, this position of prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, which is very important. A good prime minister can directly affect the rise and fall of this country. Moreover, the one elected to this position of prime minister is still the famous first family in the imperial city, the head of the Wang family. Therefore, there is no room for the people in the fallen imperial city, perhaps the people of the world, to talk about this matter after this tea and dinner.
Since the word "talk" appears, there will be something to talk about. What does this content say? Of course, it is divided into two points to talk about. One of these is why Wang Ye was elected to the position of prime minister. Although Wang Yegui is the first family in the fallen imperial city and the head of the Wang family, he is quite low-key. Unlike those corrupt officials, relying on their own power, they do all kinds of rich and unkind things. Although this king has no bad reputation, it has no reputation in the fallen imperial city. If it removes its prominent family background, it can be said that it is ordinary. But why did this unknown person suddenly become the prime minister of the Xuanyuan court? Now it can be said that there are different opinions. The restaurants, teahouses and music workshops in the imperial city are full of words to discuss this matter. However, those who know know that the position of prime minister of Wang Ye comes entirely from luck. But there are not many people who know about it, and not many people believe it. Because this person often doesn't believe that there can be a big pie for himself. As the saying goes, people's words are terrible. The people in the imperial city, whether true or not, have fabricated many versions and talked about the reason why the king took the throne of the prime minister. Among them, there are letters, and there are also doubts. But they all have one thing in common, that is, in this discussion, they all dare not believe it 100%. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. After all, you just know how Wang Ye won the position of prime minister, and how is that? Will the Prime Minister send you a red envelope and then say, congratulations on your guessing right. That's how I sat on the throne of the Prime Minister. In fact, what everyone is talking about is just the curiosity in their hearts. But under the curiosity of this person's heart, it has spawned many versions of how Wang Ye got the position of prime minister.
