The way of being an official?

Ye Zhao looked at Cai Yong and nodded silently, Cai Yong's words touched him a lot: "Don't dare or hope." ”

Cai Yong smiled and said, "What does Xiu Ming think about this traitor?" ”

Ye Zhao was silent for a moment and then said, "The student thinks that rape is not the intention, but more of a means. ”

"Not bad." Cai Yong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ye Zhao with satisfaction: "My generation of scholars want to be in this big dispute, carry forward the mastery of the past saints, blindly pay attention to righteousness, above the official career, it is difficult to make a difference, what Xiuming did in the north is quite my heart, but this time the matter of transferring you back to the Central Plains has nothing to do with Junlang, it is the old man's intention, do you know why?" ”

"If the student doesn't know, please teach the teacher." Ye Zhao shook his head, he had always thought that Liu Yan and Guo Xun were doing it to him behind his back, letting him get out of the chess game in Youzhou, but he didn't expect that it was his teacher who was working behind his back, as for why, Ye Zhao couldn't figure it out.

"Xiu Ming has made meritorious contributions in the north in the past three years, and his prestige has surpassed your father." Cai Yong took a sword from the wall and pulled it out: "What does Xiu Ming think about this sword?" ”

"It's a good sword." Ye Zhao looked at this sword and nodded and commented, he rarely uses force with the enemy, but in the past three years in the border area, his body has climbed to the peak under the recuperation of drugs and his own training, and the swordsmanship in one hand is also a combination of what he has learned in the past and present life, although he rarely makes a move, but the swordsmanship is strong, and it is also a rare opponent, and because of this, Ye Zhao knows more about swords.

"Now you are like this sword, sharp and sharp, but people dare not look directly, let alone approach." Cai Yong groped for the blade of the sword, shook his head and said, "But the more this is the case, the more dangerous you become, do you know why?" ”

"Too rigid and easy to break?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows and said.

"The truth is good, but you can understand why it is too rigid and easy to break." Cai Yong shook his head and looked at Ye Zhao: "No matter how sharp the sword is, there is only one, it is too sharp and unremarkable, so that people dare not approach, but because of this, you can't see the crisis in the hidden shadows, no matter how sharp the sword is, it can still be broken, it has nothing to do with whether it is steeled or not, just because the more this is the case, the more things will be added to you, several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary people, no matter how strong a person's strength is, if it is the enemy of the world, it will be difficult to escape the catastrophe." ”

Ye Zhao looked at Cai Yong and didn't answer, he felt that Cai Yong's words were still there.

"Teaching you the way of being an official for the teacher, I thought that before you stood up, it was rare to be able to comprehend the essence, but it's a pity that it ......" Cai Yong looked at Ye Zhao: "Your general talent is too sharp, and it also makes you appear in front of people too early, for you, it is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing, if you continue to stay, sooner or later you will become the target of public criticism." ”

That's because the Yellow Turban Rebellion is about to break out, and the world will usher in an opportunity to shuffle the cards, Guo Xun and Guo Cheng's generation will definitely fall into ashes when the time comes, and who else will show his Ye Zhao's edge again?

Ye Zhao dared to be so flamboyant in Youzhou, largely because he knew the upcoming chaos in the world, but even Cai Yong, although he could see the current injustice in the world, it was impossible for him to know the direction of the world in the next ten years or even decades as clearly as Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao couldn't tell Cai Yongming about these things.

"What's more, although Liu Mao's death has nothing to do with you, it is inevitable that there will be mustard in Junlang's heart." Cai Yong looked at Ye Zhao's expression, although he didn't know what Ye Zhao was thinking, he also knew that Ye Zhao didn't care about this matter, and his tone was a little heavier: "Do you know who he is?" ”

"The clan relatives of the Han family, I heard that it is still the position of the Zongzheng." Ye Zhaodao.

"Yes, if you are in Youzhou for a day, the greater your fame, the more uncomfortable you will be in Junlang's heart, this is the heart of the people, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong." Cai Yong said in a deep voice: "Over time, this mustard will turn into anger and even hatred, and the teacher doesn't want to one day Xiu Ming will turn his back on the Han family because of this." ”

Ye Zhao's heart froze, he looked up at Cai Yong, and then said, "Why did the teacher say this?" Zhao has no great rebellious thoughts. ”

"People's hearts will change, if the Han Sect sees you as an enemy, how can you continue to be loyal to the Han Dynasty?" Cai Yong sighed.

Liu Yan is a relative of the Han family, in the Han family, the status is quite high, and even when today's son Liu Hong can treat Liu Yan politely, if Liu Yan expresses some dissatisfaction with Ye Zhao in front of Liu Hong, Ye Zhao is now even if he has meritorious deeds, once the Son of Heaven has a preconceived evil feeling towards Ye Zhao in his heart, even if Cai Yong opens his eyes for Ye Zhao's future, it will be difficult step by step, with Cai Yong's understanding of Ye Zhao, this disciple is not a person who knows how to swallow his anger, once the two sides are really enemies, the consequences Cai Yong does not even dare to think, This is also the reason why he took the initiative to ask the Son of Heaven to transfer Ye Zhao back to the Central Plains.

In addition, Guo Xun and Liu Yan were moved by Kebi Neng at that time, and at the same time presented to the imperial court, and the two sides worked together to clear Ye Zhaoqing, who had great merit and prestige in Youzhou at that time, out of Youzhou.

"The teacher has good intentions." Ye Zhao smiled bitterly, I don't know how to evaluate this matter, even if Liu Yan really gave him small shoes at that time, Ye Zhao would be able to endure the Taiping Rebellion, and when the time came, the world would be in chaos, with his reputation in Youzhou at that time, there would definitely be a chance of recovery, but what Cai Yong did could not be wrong, if there was no Yellow Turban Uprising, Cai Yong's approach could be said to be quite appropriate, to avoid Ye Zhao's status in Liu Yan's heart from further deterioration, although he was temporarily demoted, but in exchange for more opportunities.

After all, Suiyang is located in the Central Plains, and it is definitely a shortcut to the eyes of the imperial court, even now, it can't be wrong, once the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, the Central Plains is the most chaotic place, and it is also the place where you can show your ability the most.

"Before the teacher taught you the way of being an official, this time, it is to teach you the study of the mean, this learning is quite beneficial to you, life in the world, unsatisfactory people are inevitable, with this learning body, you will go further." Cai Yong looked at Ye Zhaodao.

The study of the golden mean is a Confucian collection of knowledge about life, and it is also the benchmark of the gentleman of this era, the core content, pay attention to a state of mind, a peaceful way of interpersonal communication, in Ye Zhao's view, the mean, some artificial, the interaction between people is modeled, but the core of the inner few people can really sit down, because in Ye Zhao's view, the core is somewhat contradictory.

Even in the era when Confucianism was prevalent, there were not many characters who could really do the mean from the inside out, and there were not many in this era, and this era was not obvious, because learning was in the hands of a few people, although it was hidden, but it was also beneficial, because of several generations of study, the study of the golden mean in this era is more practical, and it is not a book cloud, such as Cai Yong, a great Confucian, will not fully follow what is said in the book, and will have his own opinions.
