Yao Xinyuan learned a lot from Ning Weimo, which cannot be understood from books.
He had heard people say before that Ning Weimo was the best official in the world. In terms of official knowledge, he ranked first, and Ning Weimo, who ranked second, was still at least half a mile behind him. end.
At that time, Yao Xinyuan was still a local official. He heard about it but didn't care about it.
First, it was very far away from him. At that time, he didn't know that he would be personally selected by Ning Weimo to be transferred to Tongwen Pavilion, and then suddenly become the second assistant of the administrative department.
Now, he is actually only half a step away from being an extremely popular minister.
He is also a first-rank official, and he is also a bachelor of two pavilions, one in Tongwen Pavilion and one in the office.
When others saw him, they looked up to him.
But after entering the office, Yao Xinyuan realized that just knowing how to do things was not enough.
Being able to do things and being an official are not the same thing at all.
After Ning Weimo reminded him, Yao Xinyuan finally realized the true meaning of the existence of the office.
He also understood that General Lin Ye did not come to the city to scare people.
That's right, before this, Yao Xinyuan had always believed that General Lin Ye came to the city just to scare people.
Yao Xinyuan was smart, and he had deduced some things from various signs. For example, he could probably tell that Lin Ye came to the city to eliminate hidden dangers for His Majesty.
But he didn't think Lin Ye would really go on a killing spree, and Lin Ye's step-by-step approach after entering the city made him certain of this.
However, Ning Weimo's reminder just now made him realize that his thinking was still limited by the past officialdom system.
He was restricted. In fact, Ning Weimo was also restricted. Otherwise, how could Ning Weimo be the person who was best at being an official?
Lin Ye didn't, Lin Ye came to break the situation.
Breaking the situation...
Thinking of this, Yao Xinyuan had to have a little more admiration for the youngest first-grade general since the founding of Dayu.
Before Lin Ye, Dayu had not had a first-grade general for many years.
Where Dayu founded the country, dozens of people with illustrious military exploits were granted the title of Duke. Even so, only three of them could truly be regarded as first-class generals.
Others are just of the same grade.
Even now, General Ning Haitang has succeeded the General of the Three North Guards specially established by His Majesty for Lin Ye, but Ning Haitang's military position is not of the first rank.
In the entire Dayu, there is only Lin Ye, a first-rank general, and there is not even a second-rank general under him. People like Ning Haitang and Gao Qisheng, who hold heavy troops, are also third-rank generals according to the convention.
Even before Lin Ye, the great general Tuoba Lie, who dominated the Northern Territory and could even be said to cover the sky with one hand, was not a second-grade general who neglected his duty, but a second-grade civilian.
Why did His Majesty give Lin Ye such an honor?
Because Lin Ye is a dead soldier, a dead soldier used by His Majesty to break this century-old dilemma.
The things given to the dead soldiers should naturally be generous.
In this world, how many people say that they are not afraid of death, that they can be heroes, heroes, and celebrities throughout the ages.
If you really tell him in advance that you will definitely die if you do this, and your family may be implicated, how many people can really go forward?
Seeing Yao Xinyuan deep in thought, Ning Weimo didn't bother him.
He got up and left to deal with other things. Yao Xinyuan's reminder was also something that had to be done.
As Yao Xinyuan realized, the people in this office are the team of the future imperial court.
When everyone should be enlightened but cannot be enlightened, Ning Weimo, as a minister, has the responsibility to remind everyone.
At this time, Yao Xinyuan understood that breaking the century-old dilemma in Geling City actually had nothing to do with them. They were the ones sitting back and enjoying the success.
After Lin Ye purged the officialdom, they took over a new world from Lin Ye.
Not only do they sit back and enjoy the benefits, but they are also bystanders who, if you think about it carefully, feel a little heartless.
Thinking of this, Yao Xinyuan returned
He looked at Ning Weimo, who had already walked out for a while, and asked: "If there is a wise king in Dayu in the future, he should rectify the name of the general."
Ning Weimo stopped and did not look back. After being silent for a while, he replied: "There will be."
At the same time, Stone Bridge Villa.
Li Ci was a little anxious, because until now, the father-in-law Wang Luoshen had not made up his mind.
He has persuaded Wang Luoshen more than once to send someone to bring back Lin Guogong Zhao Nanli as soon as possible.
Just to catch him back, this person cannot be killed, and he must even be well-kept, so that Wang Luoshen's allies will understand that the father-in-law will not give up on them, nor will he allow anyone to destroy this alliance.
Letting Zhao Nanli stay in Geling City honestly is the best choice.
In this way, it can improve the morale of the people of the Xungui clan and let them know that Wang Luoshen has the ability to make the office and Lin Ye helpless.
As long as Zhao Nanli comes back, no one will dare to question Wang Luoshen's control in Geling City.
And if Zhao Nanli is really allowed to leave, then even more people will leave soon.
After losing trust in Wang Luoshen, the entire interest alliance lost more than just Geling City.
This is a battle, and it has already begun. Lin Ye is wielding a butcher's knife and attacking one after another. If Wang Luoshen is really still holding back step by step, then this weak alliance of interests will be even more unable to hold on.
"Master..."
Li Ci couldn't help shouting again.
Wang Luoshen waved his hand, signaling him not to disturb him.
Li Ci didn't dare to say anything, and his anxiety was in vain.
Not long ago, Wang Luoshen asked him to arrange more people to investigate whether someone had leaked secrets to Lin Ye.
Li Ci pressed the button and refused to do anything, because he felt that if he did so, it would be tantamount to telling Lin Ye directly that Wang Luoshen had indeed arranged people outside the city.
Not only does he have to listen to Wang Luoshen, he also has to consider his own future and life and death.
He bet everything on Wang Luoshen, so he didn't allow himself to make mistakes, let alone Wang Luoshen.
Li Ci is not a small person, even with his current status he is still a small person.
He is someone who wants to be prime minister.
He felt that he had the talent to govern the country, which was his ambition when he was young.
To govern the country for the prime minister is not only the power of one person over ten thousand people, but also the blessing of hundreds of millions of people in the Central Plains.
Think about it, if this huge empire, this vast Central Plains, will become stronger and more prosperous under his governance, how proud it would be.
"Have you already finished the things I told you to do?"
Wang Luoshen suddenly asked.
Li Ci hurriedly said: "Back to the Lord, I have already given the explanation, but my subordinates just told me to gather the manpower. In order to prevent leaks, I will not tell them what to do until all the manpower is available."
Wang Luoshen nodded: "You are very cautious and safe in doing things. I have always said that no one who works under me can compare with you."
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved by
Shinto: "I also know that you are thoughtful, and you also know how to look at the big picture, unlike some people who focus on the details but think they are looking at the world."
He looked at Li Ci again: "But, you are not qualified to make decisions for me. Do you know why?"
How could Li Ci dare to answer?
Wang Luoshen said: "It's not because I'm the Duke of the country, I'm the head of the Wang family, it's not because of the difference in status between you and me, but because of the difference between high and low. You know what I mean when I say high or low."
Li Ci quickly replied: "I understand."
Wang Luoshen said: "You understand, but you don't even understand clearly, you only understand superficially."
He looked into Li Ci's eyes and said, "What I have is not only the intelligence that is not inferior to yours, but also the foundation accumulated by the Wang family for thousands of years, which has allowed me to stand on a high enough level since I was born."
"You still can't see the distance I saw when I was twenty years old. The reason why you can see farther is because I pulled you and made you stand a little higher. "
Li Ci's heart was already a little chilly at this time, not because of anger but because of fear.
He knew Wang Luoshen very well. Once a person like Wang Luoshen had doubts about someone, that person would probably be in hell for a short time.
"Li Ci, I do have high hopes for you. If you want to be Prime Minister, am I not training you in this direction?"
Wang Luoshen breathed out slowly.
He said: "When you stood next to me, you thought you saw exactly the same thing as me... But is it really true?"
Li Ci raised his robe and knelt down: "I know my mistake. I have indeed not ordered anyone to investigate the leak of secrets from the army outside the city."
"There is no army outside the city."
Wang Luoshen suddenly said such a sentence, which frightened Li Ci so much that his heart trembled violently.
Wang Luoshen said: "Where did the army come from outside the city? All the major families are living under the emperor's nose. My Wang family is the best family in the world. After twenty years of hard work, don't we just hide five thousand undead troops?"
He lowered his head to look at Li Ci and said with a somewhat sad tone: "In the past, not to mention one hundred thousand people, two hundred thousand people, with the financial, material and manpower of the major families, if I climb up and shout, there will be hundreds of people inside and outside Geling." Thousands of people responded.”
"But it's gone now, there's not that much anymore... The emperor has been cutting our flesh with a knife for twenty years. No matter how much flesh we have, it's almost done."
When he said these words, Wang Luoshen's tone became increasingly desolate.
"If there really is a large army outside the city, why should I wait until this time?"
Wang Luoshen said: "The emperor's departure from Ge Ling was a deliberate flaw. We know it was his intention, but this is our only chance. If there is a large army, will I not seize Ge Ling?"
He squatted down and looked at Li Ci's face, which was already filled with fear.
"You are really talented in governing the country, but there are some things where you are not as good as me, and you are far inferior to Ning Weimo."
Wang Luoshen raised his hand and patted Li Ci on the shoulder: "How many people around me still feel that we have the advantage, but I am the only one who is trembling all the time, not daring to reveal the truth... I dare not let them know that we have no chance at all."
"They are stupid, and I have to punish their stupidity. Otherwise, as you just said, they think that I, Wang Luoshen, have no power, so what do they hope for?"
Wang Luoshen said this and helped Li Ci up.
"Every time I make plans, the emperor's face will appear in my mind. He is standing there. He didn't come out of Geling. He just looked at me with a smile on his face and asked me. The flaw is in front of you, can you break it?"
Wang Luoshen looked at Li Ci: "Can I break the situation? Can you break the situation?"
He looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Before you and everyone around me thought that Lin Ye was the one who left the emperor in Geling to break the situation, but he wasn't..."
Wang Luoshen said with a sad voice filled with vicissitudes of life: "He is not, and he has never been. He is the game, and we are the ones who break it."
