Chapter 1 When the Opportunity Knocks on the Door 6.

What Fu Jian snatched from Fu Sheng was a mess, in the former Qin of the war-torn neutral country, it was already full of holes, and it had not yet gained enough rest and recuperation, that is, it was ravaged by Fu Sheng, and the evils of the times were not eliminated, and new chaos was born. Fu Sheng reigned for only two years, and the entire pre-Qin society was in chaos, the already imperfect legal order was gone, thousands of miles of Qin and Sichuan were rampant, floods and droughts occurred from time to time, and the people were miserable.

How to restore order to the chaotic former Qin and restore a stable and peaceful living environment to the people was the top priority of Fu Jian, who had just succeeded in usurping the throne.

At the critical moment, the key place, the key person - Wang Meng, came out of the mountain!

This is a man who can not only lead the army to fight (see the Battle of Luchuan) and defeat the attack; And he is good at governing the country, enriching the country and securing the people, military and political talents, and has excellent results in all subjects!

Wang Meng, whose name is Jingluo, Han nationality, was born in 325 in Juxian County, Beihai County, Qingzhou (now southeast of Shouguang, Shandong). Born in troubled times, the people were struggling with the people, and the young Wang Meng traveled with his family to Wei County (in present-day northern and southern Hebei).

It may be an ancestral reason, or it may be that he was robbed by a carrot on the way to move, Wang Meng's family was poor when he was young, and he made a living by selling dustpans.

At present, Wang Meng is a self-employed craftsman, and he can open a factory, and the handicrafts with national characteristics are enough to be exported overseas. However, at that time, it was not available for a price, and most of the families who did not have land meant hardship and hardship in life.

However, extraordinary people naturally have an extraordinary situation, a certain time to Luoyang to sell goods, meet a person who buys a dustpan, not only no cash, but also can not scan the code, but also requires home delivery, but the price is high. In order to earn more money, Wang Meng picked up the dustpan and followed the man home to get the money.

There are forests on the road, mountains are everywhere, and in the depths of the mountains is the home of the person who buys the dustpan. Wang Meng was brought to an old man with a bright beard and a ring of waiters. As a younger generation, Wang Meng naturally wanted to pay homage to Shili, and the old man hurriedly said: "Prince, how can you worship me!" A "prince" shows his respect and praise for Wang Meng, the old man not only gave Wang Meng ten times the money for the dustpan, but also sent someone to send him out of the mountain.

After Wang Meng came out of the mountain, he found that he had arrived at Zhongyue Song Mountain.

I took a special look at Baidu, and the distance from Luoyang to Songshan is 50 kilometers. There was no carriage, and he couldn't sit in a sedan chair, so Wang Meng had to walk all day for a few dustpan money.

There are hermits in the depths of the mountains, where to buy a dustpan, who is old and can't walk, so let Wang Meng come over to see the face of the future genius. Although the young man is on the mud road, the old man has a unique eye, which can be regarded as Wang Meng's luck.

The children of the poor are in charge early, and the one who sells straw shoes (Liu Bei) can be the emperor, and the one who sells the dustpan can be the prime minister. What is precious to a person is in his ambition and in his struggle and efforts to realize his ambition.

However, no matter how ambitious Wang Meng's ambitions were, at that time, he needed to sell the dustpan in his hand, exchange it for money, buy some brown rice, and make a pot of gruel with a clear bottom, so that he could satisfy his whole family.

Eating a full stomach and surviving is Wang Meng's top priority.

It was precisely this kind of life of hardship and poverty that made Wang Meng have the dream of giving the people of the world a full meal.

After experiencing the hardships of people's livelihood and tasting the hardships of poverty, he will know what the people really need.

The burden of life did not crush him, in the miserable wind and rain, Wang Meng insisted on learning, absorbing knowledge extensively, and especially good soldiers! In the turbulent years, Wang Meng stayed away from the smoke and flames of war, and was a calm and peaceful spectator, quietly watching the changes in the world.

Stay out of the world and be intoxicated with the world. Wang Meng was never born wise, but after studying hard, observing carefully, and meditating, he became a true enlightened person. It turns out that it is not as difficult as originally imagined to bring the chaotic world back to harmony and happiness.

As an adult, Wang Meng was handsome, burly, majestic, rigorous and solemn, deep and resolute, ambitious, and extraordinary. Absolutely trivial things, Du Fanfu's dealings. It is precisely because of this that the flashy people laugh lightly, and the neighbors' aunts also comment on them like a tide. Wang Meng was leisurely and complacent, unimpressed.

Don't be dragged by trivial things, don't be burdened by the world, just accumulate talent and ability for that dream that seems unattainable. The young heroes who came out of poverty are like floating clouds when they are famous.

However, it is pragmatic, in the later Zhao period, Wang Meng traveled to Yecheng, the capital of the country, to feel the world's affairs and people's feelings, and wanted to seek the opportunity to be appreciated and reused. But there is no dignitary who can look down on Wang Meng, who was born in a poor family, only Xu Tong, who "has the experience of knowing people", "sees and is surprised", this is a wonderful person who has seen Fu Jian and "strange", and his vision is really admirable. After Qizhi, he thought about giving an official to do, and appointed him as Gong Cao (the chief of general affairs of the county guard or county order, in charge of personnel and had to participate in government affairs), Wang Meng escaped and lived in seclusion in Huashan, waiting for the change of the wind and clouds, waiting for a good opportunity to go out of the mountain.

I think, Wang Meng should be a small official, just a little meritorious, how to display his ambitions and ambitions? is even more because after traveling, he continued to maintain his disappointment with Hou Zhao. Until the arrival of Huan Wen.

In 354, before the Northern Expedition of Huan and Wen, Qin, the army was on the army, and the father and elder of Guanzhong ate pot pulp to welcome the king, and there were even those who burst into tears: "I don't want to see the official army again today!" ”。

Wang Meng came out at the right time, came to the Huanwen military camp, and began his own story of "talking about the world with lice".

Although Huan Wen did not adopt Wang Meng's suggestion, he still had a very high evaluation of him: "There is no one in Jiangdong who can compare to you!" ”

Later, Huan Wen retreated with all the grain, and when he left, he gave him a famous horse with a fragrant car, and promised him a high-ranking official, hoping that Wang Meng could go south together and share a great cause.

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty court, where the scholars were entrenched, as a person from a poor family, it was difficult for Wang Meng to have the opportunity to show his ambitions; Following Huan Wen is tantamount to acting for the tiger and helping him usurp the Jin, which will inevitably tarnish his name, and Wang Meng is even more reluctant to do it. However, in the meantime, there is a body of talent and learning, no one knows, no one uses, wastes the years, wastes the years, and if you don't keep it, you will be accompanied by the barren mountains and mountains for life. So Wang Meng was confused, and finally met Huan Wen, who knew the goods, where should he go?

Returned to Huashan to ask his teacher, "How can Qing and Huan Wen be together!" You can be rich here, what is far away! ”

Stop!

For a while, Yu Liang is equal, and it is better for each to be his master. What's more, there is wealth here!

Then continue to live a life of seclusion and study, waiting for the call of the wise monarch!

"The ambition of Huai Zuoshi, the lord of Xilongyan, gather his wings and wait for the time, wait for the wind and clouds and then move" ("Book of Jin"), which is the best portrayal of Wang Meng at that time.

The days of loneliness and patience are the most tempering times for the mind.

In the second year of Huan Wen's retreat, the former Qin Fusheng became emperor.

In order to get rid of Fu Sheng, Shangshu Lu Polou strongly recommended Wang Meng to Fu Jian, and personally went to Huashan to invite him to go out of the mountain and enter the office.

Fortunately, at this time, Wang Meng is not only "still able to eat", but also his temples are not white, which is a good age to make contributions.

Fu Jian and Wang Meng will be like a life when they see each other, talking about major events, different and the same, speculating every sentence, Fu Jian feels like a fish in water, if Xuande meets Kong Ming! Wang Meng firmly believes that he has to meet Mingjun, and since then he has been full of talent and ambition. So he stayed by Fu Jian's side, gave him advice, and was driven by orders.

These are two people with different backgrounds and nationalities, but they have the same ideals, and they have worked together since then to create a new Daqin.

After Fu Jian ascended the throne, Wang Meng was the squire of the Chinese book. Later, because there were many "people who returned to the west with Fangtou" (those who followed Fu Jian into the customs together), they regarded themselves as high merit and difficult to manage, which led to the rampant and robbers, so Wang Meng was transferred to Shiping County.

I don't know why I want to turn a Chinese scholar into a county order, it may be Wang Meng's own request, but it is precisely through the governance of Shiping County that Fu Jian has relied on since then. After all, empty talk misleads the country, but hard work prospers the country!

As soon as he got off the bus, Wang Meng began to govern Shiping County, strictly enforcing law and discipline, thoroughly investigating evil, and prohibiting violence and rape. All of a sudden, the whole county was terrified and stunned.

There was a traitor who did many evils, and after Wang Meng investigated and punished him, he was whipped and executed in public. His comrades seized the opportunity to incite the people and complained to the public, and the higher authorities arrested Wang Meng and escorted him to Chang'an.

Fu Jian went to the prison in person and reproached Wang Meng: "For the body of government, morality is the first, and soon after taking office, countless killings were killed, how cool!" ”

Although he was already in prison, Wang Meng still insisted on his opinion, tried his best to refute, and clearly told Fu Jian that "Zaining the country is courteous, and the chaotic state is governed by law", and declared that in a place like Shiping, it is far from enough to kill one, and he is about to get rid of traitors and violent people for the Shengming monarch, but I am guilty of cruel politics, and I am not convinced!

Fu Jian sighed and praised, and said to the ministers of civil and military affairs present: "Wang Jingluo is really in charge of the middle, and the child is also."

Shiping County has been governed since then!

Fu Jian has since fully supported Wang Meng's efforts to govern the country.

Wang Meng has been promoted like a rocket since then.

At the age of thirty-six, Wang Meng set a record of five promotions in one year, until he reached Shangshu Zuo Servant (one of the prime ministers), Auxiliary General, Sili Lieutenant (the highest military governor in the vast hinterland including the Beijing Division), and moreover, he was added to the cavalry and was in the middle of the guard. All of a sudden, the power leaned towards the opposition.

High power is a necessary condition for Wang Meng to implement the new policy, but at a young age, he is in a high position, and the old ministers of the honors are naturally not convinced, and there are those who have resentment, and even grit their teeth and wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

Gu Zanghou Fan Shi, who was born in the handsome Di clan, was the first to jump out, first verbally insulted in public, and if the insult failed, he would fight each other with his old fists, and scolded without fighting. Fu Jian was furious and ordered to behead him.

Subsequently, the opposition turned from an open attack on Wang Meng to a covert slander, and Shang Shu Qiu Teng and Prime Minister Shi Xibao repeatedly slandered Wang Meng. Fu Jian drove the two out of the court.

For the officials of the Di nationality who flew long and short, Fu Jian even whipped and kicked them in the hall to set an example.

After that, no one dared to speak.

The king's support is the guarantee and premise for Wang Meng's smooth implementation of the new policy.

Regardless of whether he dares to be angry or convinced, the most important thing is that from now on, Wang Meng can finally show his skills and do his best to realize the ambitions and dreams that have been stored in his heart for a long time on the big stage of the turmoil and strife of the Sixteen Kingdoms.

In the opposition of many powerful people and cronies, Fu Jian can stick to his beliefs and vision, let go and delegate power to Wang Meng, and boldly innovate, which can be called the hero of the world!

In fact, history does have a very high opinion of Fu Jian, even with the irreparable defeat that followed.

Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the lord to serve. Throughout the ages, how many handsome and talented ministers secretly cast their pearls because they met unladylike people, and as a result, Hongcai was in vain and hated Jiuquan. Wang Meng, like Zhang Liang and Kong Ming, recognized the hero before the grass creation, and chose the Ming Jun in the time of adversity, and achieved the prerequisite for ensuring the success of the career.

There are Ming Jun such as Fu Jian, who is not in vain for the king's painstaking efforts and dedication.
