Chapter 984: Contradictory Thoughts
Zhang Fan took Ding Guangyou's letter. As a matter of fact. It is not certain whether it can be said that this is the case. After all, since it's a complaint. Then you have to have a form of paper. If ordinary people are suing. Then I had to hand the letter to the yamen. In this way, the yamen can start handling the case. And for Ding Guangyou. Since he is a court official. Something like paper. You can do it with a wave of your hand.
But the question is. Ding Guangyou's form, Zhang Fan took it. But what about the paper. As a matter of fact. Nothing. It all relied on Ding Guangyou's dictation. If it is placed in an ordinary yamen. This is definitely not in accordance with the rules. The yamen will never accept it. But now. Zhang Fan took it. The others didn't say anything.
As a matter of fact. It's no wonder that others don't have any ideas. It's really because of what Ding Guangyou said before. It was too shocking for a few people present. Patronize and think about the things in it. Where is there time to pay attention to whether Zhang Fan took Ding Guangyou's appearance or not.
Especially Zeng Xingwu himself. Now he is even more stunned and does not move. He wasn't very surprised because Zhang Fan took Ding Guangyou's example. It's because of Ding Guangyou's previous words. He was stunned. It's not because of what Ding Guangyou said. After all, what Ding Guangyou just said. He had already written about me, and it was also clear. It's because of Ding Guangyou. Now I dare to say such a thing. This is already a great departure from his understanding of Ding Guangyou. The previous Ding Guangyou. It is absolutely impossible to be in front of so many people. Said something like that.
Some people may be surprised. After all. What happened to Ding Guangyou. How miserable it is. And after enduring such a tragedy. It becomes a sudden explosion. Do things that you wouldn't normally dare to do. It also seems normal. If this time. Ding Guangyou was really overwhelmed by the things in his heart. To put it mildly. It's "the dog jumps off the wall". There is nothing wrong with that.
But. Even if things can be explained in this way. And Zeng Xingwu still felt incredible about this. What kind of person is Ding Guangyou? Although he has only been an official here in Sichuan, he has only been an official for more than two years. But he dared to say. I still know this person very well.
Originally. When I came here. A lot of preparation was also made. One of them includes: Officials familiar with Sichuan. Of course. How many officials are there in a province? He must not remember that he was only one Zeng Xingwu. But. At the very least. He was appointed governor of Sichuan. It is in Chengdu Prefecture. So. Officials in Chengdu Prefecture. He wants to understand.
And among the officials of Chengdu Prefecture. Zeng Xingwu has never met. But the one who made a deep impression on him. It's just that the bald head is there. Then. After knowing Ding Guangyou. And after learning a little about him. Zeng Xingwu was also very surprised. Just after Zhang Fan heard Ding Guangyou's identity. It's the same mood. After all. A person who was born as a jinshi. And it is clearly written on the dossier. The ranking of the temple examination that year was such a high person. After ten years as an official. It's just a fellow knower of the six products. This situation. Look at it by any one person. It's all wrong.
According to the time when Ding Guangyou entered Beijing to participate in the examination. Zeng Xingwu didn't need to look it up to guess at all. Ding Guangyou will end up like this. It is definitely thanks to Yan Song's party, which was controlling the government at that time. How could it be otherwise?
So. After knowing about Ding Guangyou. Zeng Xingwu is very optimistic about him. There's nothing magical about that. Actually, you can figure it out just a little bit of thought. People who will have this kind of encounter. There are no more than two kinds. One is to dare to work against Yan Song and his party; And the other is that Yan Song's party has taken a fancy to it. But he himself didn't want to be complicit. So he was annoyed by Yan Song's party. The identity of the Jinshi background. was brought to this place to be a sesame petty official for seven or eight years.
But. No matter which of the above two situations this Ding Guangyou is. But they all have one thing in common. That is, he is definitely not a mediocre talent. And this. It was what Zeng Xingwu thought of after seeing Ding Guangyou's dossier at that time.
But. It looks like this. Zeng Xingwu thinks so, it's not bad. People who can dare to work against Yan Song's party who was in power at that time. It is absolutely impossible to be mediocre. And at that time, I saw what I saw. Ding Guangyou didn't have an accident. At most, it's just a demotion to an official. Visible. Either Ding Guangyou is insignificant. Either he knows how to advance and retreat. Even if something happens. But it will not incur the scourge of killing.
And if it's a different case. If Ding Guangyou is taken by Yan Song's party, he is taken a look at. But he swore to the death. It's the end of this fate. That's even more illustrative. At that time, Yan Song was a party. The power in the DPRK is huge. It's absolutely unimaginable to ordinary people. And that's why. A lot of people don't join passively. Many of them are self-recommended. After all, as long as you have a relationship with Yan Song. In a short period of time, it will definitely be able to rise to the top.
And it is for this reason. Since there are so many people who come automatically. Yan Song's party is not a fool. There are so many options in front of you. Naturally, it's time to choose. So. Someone who can be chosen by them. Definitely talented. And be able to be favored by them. And the one who took the initiative to find it. They're definitely talented.
Other words. Even Zeng Xingwu didn't know what kind of situation Ding Guangyou had encountered. But either way. He's definitely a talent.
After knowing this. Zeng Xingwu was indeed very happy. After all, he went to Sichuan to serve as governor. There was an ambition in my heart. Nor does it say whether his ambitions are public or private. But he really wanted to make a big move. It doesn't matter what he wants to do. In this officialdom. He alone. That's not going to happen. So. Zeng Shengwu at that time. The most needed. is someone who can help him.
It's about identity or something. Zeng Xingwu really didn't care too much. Whether it's as a subordinate. Or as his superior. As long as there is a person who has the ability. He will look at him.
But. Someone may ask. Didn't you say before that Zeng Xingwu thinks very highly of himself?
Not bad. At the same time as having that kind of thought. Zeng Xingwu still has a problem with a very high self-esteem. However, the previous statement is too general. Not exactly. Zeng Xingwu's self-esteem is very high. This is not true for everyone. It doesn't have anything to do with that person's status. If the other party is just a person in the market. It's a common man. But there is real talent in the belly. Then Zeng Xingwu is definitely courteous. There will never be anything arrogant or disdainful.
But if you encounter the kind of people who don't really have the talent to learn. Even if the official rank is higher than that of his governor. But he will still look down on such people.
And when Zeng Xingwu, who was full of hope for Ding Guangyou, went to Sichuan to take office. After knowing the true situation of Ding Guangyou. His opinion changed.
That's right. If it's really talented. Ding Guangyou is not lacking. Regardless of his rank as a jinshi. Or in terms of the degree of attention that Yan Song's party paid to him back then. Ding Guangyou did not live up to Zeng Xingwu's expectations for him.
But. What Zeng Xingwu didn't expect was. Although Ding Guangyou is full of economy. But he was born with such a cowardly temperament.
Zeng Xingwu is to find a talent. And people who can help him. It's not enough to just be talented. You have to be able to use your own talents to learn. And obviously. Ding Guangyou did not meet Zeng Xingwu's requirement.
Zeng Xingwu before coming. I have a lot of expectations for this. One could even say. Zeng Xingwu for his Sichuan post. A big push. It gave him the idea to do a good job. Ding Guangyou played a big role in this.
And in the learned. Ding Guangyou is simply a person who can't be used. It can well be imagined. Zeng Xingwu was so disappointed. This disappointment is so intense. so much so that he is full of confidence in Ding Guangyou. At this moment, it turned into a full stomach full of resentment towards Ding Guangyou.
And this. In fact, it is why Zeng Xingwu is among so many officials in Sichuan. The reason why I look down on Zeng Xingwu the most. To put it in a way that is not too appropriate. That is "the depth of love." Hate it".
Therefore. For Ding Guangyou, I went to him a few times. He didn't bother to listen to anything Ding Guangyou had to say. They all thought he was here to mess around.
Until now. After Ding Guangyou's words came out just now. He already knew it in his heart. It seems that he did make a big mistake. Maybe Ding Guangyou is overwhelmed. Cowardly character. Waste your talent. But these do not mean that Ding Guangyou is a bad person. It doesn't mean that what Ding Guangyou said is nonsense.
Maybe. It is precisely because of this idea of his. caused all this that Ding Guangyou is experiencing now. Lost two loved ones.
For this. Zeng Xingwu really wanted to say sorry to Ding Guangyou in his heart. But it's only in my heart. It's absolutely impossible to put it on your lips. And. Even if he already felt guilty about Ding Guangyou in his heart. But he didn't want to admit his mistake at all.
After all. Now things have come to this point. Once he admits his mistake. That would be tantamount to admitting the crime of dereliction of duty. Maybe in the end. It doesn't affect him personally. But it will definitely cause great damage to his reputation.
And for such a thing as fame. It doesn't matter who it is. Good guys or bad guys. It's all about caring. Concerned very much. Zeng Xingwu is naturally no exception.
So. Now. What Zeng Xingwu is facing. How to dissociate this matter from yourself.
