Dongning, Chief Secretary’s Yamen
An official in his early thirties was handling official duties in the hall. This man was of medium stature, square face, and bright eyes. He looked very energetic, but the most eye-catching thing was that he had a trousers in his official uniform. It’s the golden pheasant····························
The brightly colored and lifelike golden pheasant not only shows that this person is a civil servant of the Zhou Dynasty, but also explains his identity as Zhao Wanxian, the chief envoy of Liaoyang in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
A look of hesitation flashed in the eyes of Zhao Wanxian, the file in front of him, and just when he was hesitant, the officer outside came over and reported:
"Master Zhao, please join the government and ask for an audience!"
Hearing that it was his subordinate Wang Qinghe who wanted to see him, Zhao Wanxian just nodded without saying anything, and the officer immediately took the order without talking nonsense.
Soon Wang Qinghe, who was tall but somewhat rich in figure, walked into the hall. As soon as he entered, his face was full of joy and he couldn't help but congratulate Zhao Wanxian:
"Congratulations on your promotion, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wanxian said calmly:
"They are just chief envoys, not promoted."
Wang Qinghe said with a smile:
"Although they are both chief envoys, Liaoyang is a land of bitter cold, and Jiyu is the heart of the Central Plains. Sir, after years of traveling, I am afraid that you will soon join the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister... ················》
Although his expression was still calm, when he heard the words "enter the cabinet to pay homage to the Prime Minister", Zhao Wanxian couldn't help but feel a hint of joy in his expression.
In the officialdom, everyone likes to be promoted, and if you want to be promoted in the current big week, in addition to having the trust of the commander-in-chief, you also have the ability and talent to be able to do a good job in your own one-third of an acre of land. The results are out!
Zhao Wanxian, an official promoted personally by the commander-in-chief, has no doubt about the commander-in-chief's trust in him, so what he needs for promotion is political performance, a political performance that can silence all doubters!
That year, after he was promoted to Chief Envoy by the commander-in-chief against all objections, Zhao Wanxian came to Liaoyang despite all the doubts and doubts. People have proven that you are totally wrong!
He, Zhao Wanxian, is not only qualified for the post of Liaoyang Chief Envoy, he can even do it better than others!
In order to achieve this goal and repay the commander-in-chief's appreciation and trust, Zhao Wanxian has spent the past few years in Liaoyang, not only sleeping and forgetting to eat, but also basically treating the Chief Secretary's Yamen as his home!
Normally, when I am not working in the yamen, I am visiting mines, farmland, markets, and going to the grassroots for inspection and research. I try my best to provide the court with more taxable food and minerals on the basis of ensuring the well-being of the people!
After working so hard, he indeed handed over a report card for the court that silenced the doubters and made him very proud!
However, Zhao Wanxian knew very well that while this report card allowed him to secure his position as Chief Envoy of Liaoyang, it also laid a lot of hidden worries for his future... ··········
After all, Liaoyang is the place where the Fengwu Army flourished. There are too many Liaoyang people who hold high positions in the Fengwu Army, and these people have many relatives in Liaoyang. These people control a lot of industries and affect the local rules and order. !
As the saying goes, everything in the world is about profit, and everything in the world is about profit. There are too many people in Liaoyang who think they have a background and a backer who want to ignore the rules and order, seek greater profits for themselves, and earn more. silver!
What these people did not only harmed the interests of the people, but also affected the government's income. Therefore, Zhao Wanxian, who was transferred to Liaoyang at that time, faced a multiple-choice question!
If he wants to achieve some political achievements, he must either join in with these people to defile the poor people and squeeze out the oil and water from them to ensure the taxes paid to the court!
Or choose to attack these powerful groups and let these extremely rich people spit out the benefits that do not belong to them!
Although Zhao Wanxian has strict requirements on himself, he is really not the kind of person who hates evil as much as he loves hatred.
The people are like sons and cannot tolerate sand in their eyes, just like Hai Rui or Bao Zheng, the great master of the sky!
Therefore, Zhao Wanxian also had hesitation and thinking at the beginning. After all, once he made a choice in this multiple-choice question, there was no turning back!
And if you choose the wrong one, you are likely to be imprisoned and fall into a situation of no return...
After repeated thinking and careful deliberation, Zhao Wanxian finally chose the latter. The reason for making this choice was partly out of sympathy for the common people. Zhao Wanxian himself was born in the civilian class. His father was a poor scholar and his mother was For traditional housewives, most of the family's income comes from the father's meager income from running a private school, and the rest depends on the mother's spinning and weaving to support the family.
Zhao Wanxian lived in very poverty when he was a boy, so he knew very well how difficult and difficult the life of the people at the bottom of the Zhou Dynasty was, so he was emotionally on the side of the people!
Although Zhao Wanxian sympathizes with the suffering of the common people, in the officialdom, especially at this moment when his own destiny is decided, he naturally will not be swayed by emotion!
What really made Zhao Wanxian choose to protect the people and attack the powerful was that Zhao Wanxian believed that the de facto controller of the Zhou Dynasty today and the person who promoted and appreciated him, Marshal Ye, was a rare and famous king through the ages!
Marshal Ye’s original intention of promoting and appreciating him, Zhao Wanxian, was to hope that Zhao Wanxian could make decisions for the people. Therefore, if he joins forces with the powerful to oppress the people, then he would not only deviate from Marshal Ye’s original intention of appreciating him, but also let Marshal Ye down. Cultivation and appreciation for him!
As a result, Marshal Ye was disappointed. He would not be able to serve as the chief envoy of Liaoyang for a long time, and he might even be imprisoned...
If he chooses to defend the people and attack the powerful, then although he will offend those powerful people, he will have the support of the general behind him. As long as he acts upright, sits upright, and does not leave any excuses to others, he has nothing to fear. After all, the commander-in-chief is now a man of his word in the court, and his prestige is at its peak!
Therefore, even if those powerful people regard him as a thorn in their flesh, as long as the general protects him, Zhao Wanxian can rest easy!
It was with this idea in mind that he, Zhao Wanxian, also carried out drastic reforms to deal with those powerful and aristocratic family members who did not abide by the rules and order.
The dignitaries who were coerced by Zhao Wanxian naturally hated Zhao Wanxian to the core. For a period of time, the memorial to impeach him flew to Ye Mingsheng's study like snowflakes!
But just as Zhao Wanxian thought, although his methods annoyed the powerful people, they won the praise of the commander-in-chief. And with the commander-in-chief's intentional protection, there was no movement on the memorials to impeach him!
Even if he was really eager to make political achievements later, causing some problems and causing considerable losses, and someone found the reason to impeach him, the commander-in-chief only fined him a salary and asked him to make a self-examination, which was a small punishment but a big warning!
Although he has secured the position of chief envoy of Liaoyang by virtue of his political achievements and won the admiration and support of the people, Zhao Wanxian never thought of continuing to work in Liaoyang... ······
Zhao Wanxian is thirty-five years old this year. In this era when the average life expectancy is less than a month, he is no longer young, but in official circles, especially in the Communist Party, he can be said to be very young, so Zhao Wanxian also has ideals in his heart. , ambitious and want to do something big!
Zhao Wanxian wants to get on a higher and bigger stage to display his talents, and even try to leave his name in history and promote him, Marshal Ye, to become a king and minister!
This brings us back to the original question. If you want to go further in today's officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to having the trust of the commander-in-chief, you must also make some achievements!
Although he, Zhao Wanxian, has made some good achievements in Liaoyang, as the chief envoy of Liaoyang, Zhao Wanxian has become more and more aware during this period that due to factors such as weather, location, humanities and other factors, Liaoyang's development has reached its ceiling. It will be a long time to come. For a period of time, Liaoyang's development will enter a stable stage, and it will be difficult to achieve leapfrog development!
And this also means that if Zhao Wanxian wants to
It can be said that it is very difficult to continue to achieve that kind of eye-catching development in Liaoyang, and even impossible in a sense!
So Zhao Wanxian realized that his career had encountered another important watershed, and he needed to make a decision that could affect his destiny!
Either stay in Liaoyang, do things to the extreme and develop Liaoyang as much as possible, or leave Liaoyang and go to some place with a better foundation... ·
Like last time, Zhao Wanxian chose the latter this time. Zhao Wanxian knew very well that the commander-in-chief appreciated him because of his achievements in Liaoyang. Therefore, if the development of Liaoyang gradually slowed down in the future, the commander-in-chief would still appreciate him. It’s hard to say whether it will be like it is now!
And once he loses the trust of the commander-in-chief, things will change a lot, and maybe even the powerful people he offended before will take the opportunity to counterattack!
Therefore, Zhao Wanxian wants to leave Liaoyang at this time and go to places with good foundations such as Youyan, Qilu, and Jiyu, or Jingchu and Huainan. He is confident that with his own ability, he can quickly Make achievements!
However, even though Zhao Wanxian intends to leave Liaoyang, he cannot directly tell Ye Mingsheng that he wants to leave. That would be equivalent to saying that he is a deserter!
Zhao Wanxian could only make some hints, and his move worked. Ye Mingsheng also said that he would consider transferring him to other places.
Just when Zhao Wanxian was thinking that he could take charge of Youyan and Jiyu, and even started to think about specific development policies, news came from the court that the commander-in-chief intended to transfer him to the post of chief envoy of Youyan, but Gu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, thought twice and disagreed, and then the commander-in-chief remonstrated with Ruliu and did not issue this order...
Zhao Wanxian was completely confused when the news came out, and he even had some disbelief. After all, he seemed to be selfless in attacking the powerful in Liaoyang, but in fact he also had concerns on some issues, which also led to his lack of understanding on some issues. People serve as dishes!
For example, when it comes to issues involving the Ye family and the Cui family, although Zhao Wanxian also deals with the children of these two families, he mainly uses intimidation and intimidation. As long as you spit out the things, the most he will do is give you a slap on the face. Really kill you!
As Gu Sansi was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and a close confidant of the Marshal, Zhao Wanxian was also very careful in dealing with issues involving him, so Zhao Wanxian asked himself that he had never offended Gu Sansi, so he didn't know why Gu Sansi targeted him!
So when it was confirmed that it was because of Gu Sansi's obstruction that he did not take over as the chief envoy of Youyan, Zhao Wanxian was very angry!
He felt that since I didn't offend you Gu Sansi, but you still took the initiative to target me, then there is nothing more to say. If you can be the first grader, I, Zhao Wanxian, can also be the fifteenth grader!
So Zhao Wanxian also found out some issues related to Gu Sansi in Liaoyang, and just when Zhao Wanxian was about to confront Gu Sansi on this issue, news came again from the court. Although he had not become the governor of Youyan, envoy, but the commander-in-chief appointed him as the chief envoy to Hebei and Henan...
Although the chief envoy of Hebei and Yu is inferior in status to the chief envoy of Youyan, it is still a very important position in the current Yijing court, and under the previous governance of Murong Yuliang, Jiyu's The economic foundation is also very good, and we can achieve great results!
So now Zhao Wanxian is facing a problem, that is, now that he has been transferred to the post of Chief Envoy of Hebei and Henan Province, should he trouble Gu Sansi on this issue?
Wang Qinghe glanced at the files on Zhao Wanxian's desk and saw the hesitation and hesitation in Zhao Wanxian's heart, and immediately he couldn't help but admonish;
"Master Zhao, this Gu Sansi is the Minister of Civil Affairs with a high position, and the commander-in-chief has great trust in him. Although the issues in this file are not small at all, they are not big at all, and they are not principled. question!"
"The possibility of using this dossier to overthrow Gu Sansi is not very high. I think the most it will do is disgust Gu Sansi! In the end, nine times out of ten, the big thing will turn into a trivial one!"
"If Mr. Zhao, you don't have
If you were transferred to Jiyu, then if you bring this matter out, you can make Gu Sansi vent his anger. But now you are transferred to Jiyu, so in my opinion, it is better to take a step back to open up the world. After all, it is better to resolve this enemy than to end it. ! "
"As the saying goes, there are many friends and many roads, and many enemies and many walls. My lord, you already have enough enemies in the court. Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment hates you to the bone. I would say that now there are no more enemies. You must not offend this ancient minister who is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel..."
