Volume 3 Spring and Autumn of the Pen Knife Chapter 194 Thick skin and black heart

"Oh yes, Yang Gong, now the leader of the bandits in Soul Mountain is currently at the winery outside my Jiangning City, and originally wanted to cooperate with these two letters to sue Shen Yan for personal evidence and physical evidence, so now that he can't use it for the time being, you can see how to collect it." Cao Yi suddenly spoke.

"There are still one hundred and thirty-two bandits on the side of the Lost Soul Mountain, all of them have been wiped out, and they are all under control, you can see who is sent over to accept it, as for the escort team on my side, there is no need to come forward again, anyway, the bounty is not too much, just go to encircle and suppress the bandits in the name of the Jiangning government, Yang Gong, you see that you can send whoever you want to send here, it's up to you to decide, the people on our side only listen to you, as long as the person who comes has your hand, we will hand over all the bandits to the government." Cao Yi said meaningfully.

Yang Gong also looked at Cao Yi meaningfully, and the two teams looked at each other for a moment, and laughed at the same time.

Yang Xingwen looked at his father, and then at Cao Yi, and didn't understand why the two of them suddenly laughed in unison when they looked at it, and were about to ask a question, Yang Gong said earnestly: "Xingwen, although you have been an official for more than four years, but your political consciousness is not as good as Cao Yi, don't look at you being a round older than Cao Yi, but you are still far behind him, while you are still in Jiangning these days, you walk around with him more and study hard." ”

Cao Yi hurriedly bowed to Yang Gong, and said with a wry smile: "Yang Gong, don't kill me, I haven't been out of Jiangning yet, and the farthest thing I have gone is the place where I go in the wine shop, and I usually nest in my own house to read books, unlike Brother Xingwen, who has been an official in several places, and they all say that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. In terms of insight into world affairs and human feelings, he is definitely not as good as Brother Xingwen. ”

"Okay, don't be humble about your nephew, Xingwen, don't think that my father and I underestimate you too much, how can a father not want his children to be better, but you are indeed far inferior to Cao Yi in the way of being an official, don't be in a hurry to refute it first, at least why did Cao Yi and I laugh at the same time just now, you haven't figured it out yet, when you figure it out, you will know why I said this, you see that Cao Yi not only understands, but has already done so!" Yang Gong said with emotion, and he was also shocked in his heart, and secretly said: "Cao Yi, this kid, even if he is only sixteen years old after the New Year, he is already so demonic in his young age, and when he reaches the age of establishment, he will still have ...... Brother Guohua is really enviable, the Cao family is a family of generals, it is really a tiger father without a dog, I thought that it would be the fourth son of the Cao family Cao Wei with the highest achievement in the future, but now it seems that the highest achievement in the future is very likely to be the youngest eighth son Cao Yi. Hey, give birth to a son like Cao Zhaozheng! ’。

"Yang Gong, in fact, Brother Xingwen is kind and loyal, and I have been deviant since I was a child, so I ...... Hehe" Cao Yi smirked halfway through speaking, and didn't say any more, but Yang Gong naturally understood, and said worriedly at this time: "This is what I'm worried about, Xingwen's character, in the officialdom in the future, if it's just a petty official, it's just a small official, it's really climbed high, and he became a Beijing official in the three ministries and six provinces, I'm afraid that it will fall miserably if I am shaded by others in the future!" ”

"Brother Xingwen is still young now, and with the protection of Yang Gong, it was too smooth sailing in the early stage, and after the experience, he will suffer a little tribulation, and the skin will be exercised thick and invisible, and the heart will be tempered black and colorless, then it will really be able to rise and fall in the sea steadily." Cao Yi talked about it, and brought out the wise sayings in Houheixue.

"The skin is thick and invisible, and the heart is black and colorless...... The skin is thick and invisible, and the heart is black and colorless......" Yang Gong repeated what Cao Yi said, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he suddenly said in surprise: "Nephew, these ten words of yours are really the most reasonable way to be an official!" Then he turned his head to Yang Xingwen and said, "Xingwen, as long as you understand the ten words that Cao Yi just said thoroughly and apply them to your officialdom, then your father can be a little relieved." ”

Yang Xingwen nodded, these ten words are easy to understand, and the meaning is its literal meaning, although it is a high overview and condensation of the way of officialdom as an official, but as soon as you hear it, you will know that it is a big vernacular, everyone can understand it, but it will take a long time or even a lifetime to learn.

"Brother Yi, where did you get these words from? There are so many things that feel like you were born knowing. Yang Xingwen asked curiously with an envious tone.

"Of course, I didn't know it by birth, I saw a lot of things from books, like these ten words, which I understood after reading "Historical Records" and "Three Kingdoms" several times. Because in these books, it can be seen that those who have achieved great things for heroes and heroes in ancient and modern times are just thick-faced and black-hearted. In the case of Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, both of them were a generation of heroes in the Three Kingdoms period, but in my opinion, Cao Cao was able to succeed because he was black enough, he killed Lu Bohao, Kong Rong, Yang Xiu, Dong Cheng, killed Ambush, killed the queen and prince, and advocated the life philosophy of 'I would rather bear the people of the world than teach the people of the world to bear me', and the essence of the traitorous male was exposed. And Liu Bei's success is because he is thick-skinned enough, starting from his beginning, first according to Cao Cao, then according to Lu Bu, according to Liu Biao, according to Sun Quan, according to Yuan Shao, running away from east to west, not caring about shame, but also the best at crying, in order to deceive the favor of the soldiers...... "Cao Yi talked eloquently, spraying very happily, on the ability of spraying, Cao Yi, as a keyboard warrior of later generations, deeply studied the "Key to Come" treasure book, and the strength can be said to be the ultimate realm, God does not give birth to him Cao Zhaozheng, and the spray is like a long night.

"This ......" Yang Gong and Yang Xingwen sighed hesitantly at the same time, in fact, Prime Minister Cao Cheng and Uncle Liu Huang are heroes and heroes who are not born in the official history or in the wild history, and they have a very positive image, but in Cao Yi's mouth, one is a vicious traitor, and the other is a cheeky hypocritical villain, which is very different from their cognition over the years, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that Cao Yi is right.

"In fact, if the face is thick and black is formed into a school, then it should be called thick black science, which can be roughly divided into three stages, the first stage is 'thick as the city wall, black as charcoal', although the city wall is thick, but it can also be breached, although the charcoal is black, but the color is hateful, and everyone is unwilling to approach it. The second stage is 'thick and hard, black and bright', compared with the first stage, although there is a world of difference, but after all, there is a shape and color, and others can still see a little thick black clues after careful observation. The third stage is 'thick and invisible.'

, black and colorless', entering the realm of silent and odorless, formless and colorless. In this realm, you can conquer everything, be invincible, and watch the ups and downs of the sea with a smile in the officialdom. ”

"Just these ten words, there are so many truths, Brother Yi, you are so sharp!" Yang Xingwen said admiringly.

"But these are only part of the trial, not all copied, and you have to practice it yourself, after all, it is true to eat a trench and grow wise. And it doesn't mean that you have to follow this in the future, just like believing in a book is better than having no book. Although everyone knows that only a dark heart and a thick skin can achieve great things, but when you think about it, real life should not be all like this. Cao Yi said slowly.

"In today's world, there are many honest and shameless people, who are complacent in the scheming and deceitful schemes, who think that they have achieved success, and who are proud of treacherous, cunning, and deceitful superiors and subordinates, and are called wisdom in their name; To be loyal, pure, benevolent, righteous and honest is ashamed, and to dislike and complain is pedantic, this is the real Huang Zhong ruined, and the tile kettle thundered. And from ancient times to the present, more and more people have begun to respect this kind of fallacy and heresy, Brother Xingwen, Yang Gong, whether it is officialdom or business, we should take its essence and remove its dross, use what can be used, and resolutely not use what cannot be used. I don't ask how big the official is, but I want to be worthy of the people, I don't ask how rich the money is, but I want to be worthy of my heart. In the end, Cao Yi still said what he said in his heart, he was afraid that such a loyal and honest Yang Xingwen would turn into corrupt officials like Liu Guan, He Shen, Qin Yu, and Yan Song.

Yang Gong and Yang Xingwen were stunned there, as if they were digesting and pondering every word Cao Yi said, and then Yang Gong woke up suddenly, bowed deeply to Cao Yi, and said: "The words of the nephew, like Huang Zhong Da Lu hit the depths of my heart, before I heard the thick black said, I was really happy in my heart, and I thought that I had obtained the best reason for the success, but fortunately, the latter paragraph of your nephew woke me up, so I didn't fall into it." ”

"Hehe......" Cao Yi touched the back of his head, and smiled innocently, not at all as wise and charming as when he talked eloquently just now, but now this is more in line with his sixteen-year-old age, and said innocently: "Actually, I said these words to Brother Xingwen, Yang Gong, you have long been confused and know the destiny of heaven, these truths must be understood, I am afraid that if Brother Xingwen is too strong at that time, it will not be good to go to the extreme." ”

"Thank you, Brother Yi, I think I'm pretty good now, do a good job in my official position, as for the rest, if you have the ability to take care of it, you can take care of it, and if you don't have the ability, you won't be a swollen face and a fat man, although I do have a little bit of fat, hahaha!" Yang Xingwen smiled heartily.

Cao Yi chatted in the Yang Mansion for a while, then proposed his farewell, and by the way, changed the time to meet Shen Yan to tomorrow morning, because in the afternoon, he had to send an invitation to Shen Yan to make an appointment in advance to meet tomorrow morning The time and place of the meeting, so that Cao Yi could go to the mad man in the afternoon to pay a New Year's greeting, after all, he was also his elder, and he still had to move around during the Spring Festival.
