Huang Qiong deeply believed that Master Zai's analysis of himself was correct. Even though he is a third-grade official, he probably still hasn't learned how to greet people, flatter them, and flirt with them. When he first entered the Xiaoqi camp, this guy gave him a kick.
At that time, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council had already issued a written document, but before this guy saw the clear edict, he dared to give himself a rejection. If it had been an ordinary military attaché, a prince would have been greeted respectfully when he entered the camp on holy orders. Moreover, after I arrived at the Xiaoqi Camp, this guy was indifferent to me except for normal official duties.
He is a prince, even if he is a prince without real power, he is still a prince. What I value more is talent. If it were an ordinary person who suffered such neglect, I am afraid that he would have thought of ways to retaliate against him. As a prince, even a prince without real power, it would be too easy to punish him. What's more, he still has the right to go to the secret book.
However, this person has worked his way down there for many years. For some problems, we should take a longer-term view than ourselves. He has a clearer understanding of the biggest difficulties that Zhengzhou may encounter in the aftermath, as well as Su Changshi's character, than he does himself. Huang Qiong undoubtedly admired this. If this person can be used for his own purposes, he can make up for the biggest shortcoming of the people around him who lack political experience.
Whether it is Jia Quan or Fan Jian, although they are both resourceful and resourceful, they have one biggest problem, which is their lack of practical experience in serving as officials. Although Jia Quan had good relations with some officials, the officials he interacted with were all minor officials. It's okay to talk about being well-informed, but if it's anything else, forget it.
But Huang Qiong also knew that with the conduct of the commander in the capital, it would be difficult to take advantage of him. How can a person who has suffered so much be conquered so easily? Although this person is not that kind of officialdom veteran, the more he is like this, the more he has his own principles in his heart. I can see some things too clearly, but I am much more cautious.
But today, this gentleman, even though he was speaking from his own feelings, he has spoken so much to himself about his heart, which is considered a good start, isn't it? Being able to say this shows that he has changed slightly in some aspects, at least in his state of mind. It's just that even though his heart is going through a thousand times in a blink of an eye, Huang Qiong is still calm and calm on the surface.
He just put down the tea bowl in his hand and said to this gentleman: "What Mr. Yu said is just what he said when he wanted to seek a country. Mr. Su went to Zhengzhou this time. It is true that the land issue is the fundamental issue. Once it is dealt with, the problem in Zhengzhou can be solved. Most of them can be solved. If you don't handle it well, it will only add fuel to the fire and add fuel to the fire. And although he has been an official for many years, he has never let it go."
"It can be said that he has almost no experience in governing the local area. What's more, he is extremely bad in handling the relationship with his colleagues. He was transferred out of the Hanlin Academy, and they actually set up a running table for three days. It can be seen that It is a failure to be a human being and an official. But as Mr. Yu said, Zhengzhou now needs such a strong order to deal with the aftermath."
"If those who were complicit were replaced, the current poor livelihood of the people in Zhengzhou would only be worse. Especially now that we have to demobilize such a large number of rebels who have at least undergone some training, maybe Zhengzhou will really change. It's just that this The king now has no one available, and he is worried about using other officials, so he can only rush the ducks. The king also hopes that Mr. Yu can give some opinions. "
Hearing Huang Qiong ask for his opinion, the adult was obviously a little surprised. He did not answer Huang Qiong immediately, but was silent for a long time, then gritted his teeth and raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, there is a way. In fact, as long as the Prince personally sits in Zhengzhou before the land is disposed of, whether it is other clans or Henan No one dares to have any objections to those officials on the road. "
"The prince scolded him harshly in the Wende Hall, and the official thought that no matter how thick-skinned those clan members were, they would never touch the prince again. As the saying goes, it is easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree. With the prince as a giant Buddha in Zhengzhou , even if those young men want to do anything, they probably don’t dare to have any ideas anymore.”
"In addition, if the prince is really dedicated to serving the people, there are some things that should be done. For some officials who stretch their hands too far, a group of officials should be withdrawn. At present, Zhengzhou, and even the officialdom of Henan Road, only You have to kill a few chickens to scare the monkeys. Since the prince has the Shang Fang sword given by the emperor, he can use it as much as possible before returning it to the emperor."
"Although the heads of a few people are a little bloody. But if these chickens are not killed, those monkeys who always want to cause trouble may not really be willing to do so. Hundreds of thousands of acres of good land, one acre of land can only get the benefits of regular money. What do you think? Think about it, how much benefit can people get from these hundreds of thousands of acres of land? A windfall of hundreds of thousands of dollars is enough to make many people see nothing but money."
"How can several families cry compared to one house, or even all the way? Killing chickens to scare monkeys, although the method is more old-fashioned, it is difficult for you to suppress those dirty officials without an iron fist. Don't look at one All of them were born in the second rank of Jinshi, so you can see that no one is jealous of money." When he said this, the commander of Yudu showed a murderous look, but he showed his decisive energy in uniting the army to fight.
"As for Su Changshi, since it's easy to change a country's nature but hard to change, the prince can think of ways to surround him with people. For example, choose a colleague with more adaptability for him, which can effectively make up for his shortcomings in politics. Place. Although Tongzhi has a high position, he does not have much power, but he is also the deputy of the prefect. Choosing a good Tongzhi can effectively make up for Su Changshi's own shortcomings."
"As long as he can gain a foothold in Zhengzhou and has the support of His Majesty the King of England, those dirty officials on Henan Road will probably have to weigh their heads even if they want to squeeze him out. Henan is also located near Gyeonggi, and news can reach the sky at any time. Listen. As long as the King of England is in the capital for a day, whoever becomes the pacifier, participates in politics, or transfers the envoy will have scruples if he wants to touch him."
After the Lord said this, Huang Qiong nodded in praise. Perhaps after suffering too many losses, this honest man has learned to play tricks. His idea could almost be said to be tailor-made for Su Changshi. Let's not talk about this person's literary and military skills, but this level of sophistication is not what Jia Quan and Fan Jian can achieve. This is the real talent in the officialdom.
It would be a pity for this man to abandon civil service and pursue military service. It would be better if he had more experience in civil service. With his ability, there is absolutely no problem in being able to manage affairs under Zhongshu's sect, or to participate in political affairs, or serve as minister or minister. However, Huang Qiong then thought about it. If his character was really what he said, if he was still in the civil service, he would have been excluded from the official career.
The civil servants are at war with each other, and those who are in the same party but have different differences, and those who are not our comrades are our mortal enemies are far more serious than the military attachés. This person's current sophistication was gained through years of suffering. What's more, although this person was demoted to a small border county, he experienced hardships that ordinary people did not have. But he did not participate in the overt and covert struggles between the big guys in North Korea and China.
There was no party struggle among civil servants, which was why he was able to successfully become a military attaché. Although this person was said to be unlucky back then, but now it looks like he was lucky. If his original character was really like what he said. I'm afraid that if he wants to reach the position of a third-grade officer, it is simply impossible because no one is willing to use a thorn.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong suddenly remembered something that King Yong once said after his assassination and the emperor's purge of officials in the court. After my own emperor, I, regained power, because many of the ministers in the court were old and unfit for their responsibilities, and they were inactive, I not only immediately started to open up favors to recruit scholars.
In the last subject during Sejong's reign, during the reign of Emperor Yeoljong, the only one who passed the imperial examination was to select talents from among the Jinshi, and assign them to serve as magistrates of prefectures and counties in difficult areas, focusing on training in order to select the best from the best. It's just that although King Yong is well-informed and doesn't know who those officials are, the people who can catch the eye of his emperor are all talented people.
These people can now be said to be disciples of the emperor. In the future, it will probably not be difficult for these people to leave the cabinet and become prime ministers. If I remember correctly, judging from the time when this person passed the imperial examination, it was the only time during the reign of Emperor Liezong that he passed the imperial examination.
In this way, the reason why he was sent to that desolate small county on West Sichuan Road may not really be because he offended someone. Maybe it was because his emperor, me, did it deliberately. He was able to change his position from a civil servant to a military attache. It was almost impossible without the emperor's consent based solely on the recommendation of a military governor.
Of course, there is no reason why the emperor promoted talents and replaced his grandfather's old troops in the army. But who can guarantee that this person is not one of those people? If it is true, I am afraid that if I want to win over this person, there is almost no possibility that I will not say it, and I might even touch the emperor's bottom line. Disciples of the Emperor, it would be better for you to be more cautious.
Huang Qiong wanted to find out more about this person. Although he hesitated, he finally said: "Master Yu is so sophisticated in looking at the problem now. I really can't see that he would offend people who shouldn't be offended and be squeezed out of the capital. As the saying goes. When I was three years old and saw Master Yu in his current state, it is really hard for people to believe that he had the same temper as Su Changshi back then."
"Master Yu, can you tell me who you offended? It's not that I want to expose the scars in your heart, but I am really curious. Even if you offend someone, I am satisfied. Is there no one in the capital's Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province, Liubu, and Yushitai who has a discerning eye? They actually agreed to send a talent like Master Yu to that place?"
Huang Qiong was right. What happened back then was an untouchable scar in this adult's heart. If someone were to uncover it, it would undoubtedly be bloody. A dignified second-class and top-three Jinshi was originally supposed to stay in the six divisions of the capital and travel around, but he was sent to a small third-class low-income county on West Sichuan Road where not even a rabbit could poop. According to the court rules, he should be elected as an official.
Even as a seventh grade county magistrate, his wife was abducted. This is tantamount to a huge shame for this adult. In the early years, when he was in a low official position, people often made fun of him about this. With the accumulation of military exploits over the years and the increasing official position, no one dared to make fun of him.
But more than ten years later, this matter is still the laughing stock of others. Although he didn't dare to make fun of him in person, he was often treated as a joke in private. Huang Qiong wants to find out the real reason why he was released, but he has no intention of uncovering the scars in his heart. This is undoubtedly difficult for him to accept. Sure enough, as Huang Qiong finished speaking, the adult's face turned red all of a sudden.
Just looking at the sincerity on the face of the British king in front of him, and looking at the official uniform on his body, his anger disappeared completely in an instant. He could only smile helplessly and said: "This matter is indeed a great shame and humiliation for the lower officials. However, this matter has long become a joke in officialdom. As long as the older officials, almost no one does not know about it."
