Zen masters say that when you eat, eat well, and sleep well when you sleep. It's a hard place. The reality is that you don't eat well when you eat, and you don't sleep well when you sleep.

We all live like this. When people are attached to the superficial or the formal, they can't see the truth.

You will follow the crowd and you will betray yourself. A flower, how beautiful! Relax and enjoy it without being confined to the fact that it is a peony flower?

Or peony? You know how to appreciate. Can we do it? A bag to hold things.

Easy to carry. A good bag must be designed and textured to win. And not because it's LV, Hermes, it's good.

Also, you don't know how to collect, you don't know music, and you don't know about famous paintings. But you would say the chicken cup, Beethoven, Leonardo da Vinci.

Because you have to pretend. Because everybody is pretending. On the scene, not to mention a few painters, artworks, and masters, we can't even eat well.

Emperor Kangxi commented on the matter of the erudite Confucianism test paper, and then discussed the military situation in Yunnan, Kangxi was full of interest, talked for half an hour, and said: "Yesterday I received a fold in Yunnan, Wu Shipan has committed suicide. I have ordered someone to send his head to Beijing, I am afraid that the weather is too hot, and the road will rot, which is a pity! Everyone laughed.

Xiong Cixu frowned and said: "The lost territory that has been recovered, you have to quickly send capable people to appease it, this is not a game - after the soldiers cross the border, they often grab not an inch of grass, and the people are hungry and afraid of accidents." If there is no magistrate, let the army loot, it is absolutely impossible! ”

"That's it-" Kangxi turned his face to Mingzhu and said: "Ask the Ministry to quickly select a group of state and county officials, and if you want to be more cautious, you don't need to see your majesty, and send them directly to Yungui as the prefect; The county magistrate was selected from this time. Now it is planned to send an observer envoy to bring the two documents of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Military Affairs to inspect the situation of the military and civilian officials in Yunnan and Guizhou. If there are arsonists who are bandits, deal with them on the spot! Mingzhu couldn't help but be stunned: "Just do it now?" ”

"Well, right away! This kind of thing has to be done immediately. Jieshu used troops in Fujian, and the civil affairs left behind were a headache, so Yao Qisheng personally took Goshha to the countryside to suppress bandits and protect the people. With the lessons of the past, Yungui's affairs should be handled safely - this is your ministry's business! Mingzhu frowned and groaned, he was really a little difficult.

If he doesn't have the right person in his pocket, that's not true. When selecting idle officials above the third rank in Beijing, he was able to immediately propose more than a dozen.

At this time, I had to choose an observation envoy to a remote area, and I was a fourth-grade official, so of course I had to choose from the fifth and sixth grades.

These days are so busy that I haven't even gone to the ministry, where can I find it for a while? Suddenly, he remembered that Gao Shiqi had given him

"Recommended" over a called

The person of "Xu Qiuren", except for him, couldn't think of anyone else, so he simply recommended him. When Kangxi's gaze swept to Mingzhu again, Mingzhu swallowed helplessly, nodded and sighed: "If you talk about the five-grade officials waiting to be elected in Beijing, there are more than 30 of them, but they are either old and weak, or weak, or unfamiliar with the officials. The slave thought for a long time, and felt that Xu Qiuren was more suitable...... and then said Xu Qiuren's resume and job name, but at the end he said: "This person is not familiar with the slave, it was recommended by Gao Shiqi, and it must be good to think about it." Kangxi was in a very happy mood at the moment and immediately approved.

Scene 2: Xu Qiuren visits Mingzhu in ignorance

Time: In the summer of the 20th year of Kangxi (1681 AD), the Kangxi Emperor Yangxin Hall summoned the ministers to discuss the erudite Confucianism and the three days before the affairs meeting after the rebellion of the three feudatories was pacified.

Location: Pearl House

Characters: Mingzhu, university scholar Xu Qianxue, housekeeper Lao Wangtou, Xu Qiuren

(Xu Qiuren met Gao Shiqi when he entered the pearl gatehouse, and asked Gao Shiqi to help him in order to see Mingzhu, and sent a large stack of silver tickets.) Gao Shiqi took Xu Qiuren's greeting post, wrote something on it, and handed it back to the concierge of the pavilion)

Mingzhu and Xu Qianxue were talking and laughing, and Lao Wang came in with a large stack of red prayer stickers, respectfully presented them on the table, turned around and slowly withdrew. Mingzhu knew that this was all sent by the officials of the pavilion who didn't know how many joints they had passed, and he didn't want to see it at this time, because he saw that Xu Qianxue was about to resign, so he said: "Take these posts out and return them." There are thousands of officials who want to donate, who doesn't want to fill the vacancies? They all begged me like this, and I couldn't do it even if I was a thousand-armed Guanyin - tell them to go to the official headquarters and wait! ”

Xu Qianxue took the post and muttered a little: These donors don't know how much money it took to get to this point. Just ask for the pearl to see it, and you can't see it. Why should I be a wicked man? He groaned, flipping the letters upside down in his hand. Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter erupted, "There are parents who give their sons such a name!" It's really a big world, and there are no wonders! When Mingzhu took it and looked at it, he saw that the words "Xu Yu Mao Gong knocked Ming Xiang Wan'an" were written on the top of the post, and he couldn't help laughing, so he asked Lao Wangtou to go out and spread the word: Call this surnamed Xu in, and see you in half a month. Xu Qian's students were afraid that Mingzhu would give him any more difficult errands, so he bowed down and resigned.

In a moment, an official with a wide mouth walked briskly, wearing a robe of eight pythons and five claws, decorated with white pheasants, and wearing a crystal top, and slapped his horseshoe sleeves in the patio, kowtowed, and reported his name.

"Hmm." Mingzhu half-leaned back on the chair, forced a smile, played with his post with both hands, and said in an official tone: "Come in!" Are you a donor? ”

"Yes." The official replied, "The county prince who was donated by Kangxi for 14 years has gradually become the title of prefect...... Oh, this time in Beijing, my father ordered my brother to bring a good inkstone, dedicate it to the middle hall, and look forward to it......," the official said, while taking out a boxy red envelope from his bosom and presenting it.

Mingzhu took it, her hand sinking downward, knowing that it must be made of gold—but she was in no hurry to open it. only smiled: "You seem to be smart." I also have to do something good for the people in office, and make up for the vacancy, and there will naturally be news after the officials and officials send the tickets. ”

"Xie Zhongtang!"

Mingzhu took a cup of tea, Xu Yumao knew that he was going to step down, but Mingzhu smiled and said, "Don't be busy." I think you seem to have read some books, why did you choose such a name, how can this be presented to the Imperial Review? ”

"The lowly ranking belongs to the 'ball' generation, because of the lack of water in the hit, so the ancestors of the family named 'Qiuren'." Xu Qiuren said inexplicably, "I don't know why it's inconvenient to submit it to the emperor?" ”

Mingzhu listened to it, and knew that his original name was "Xu Qiuren", but I don't know who added a stroke to the word "Qiuren" and became "Mao", and it was inconvenient to say it at the moment, so he only smiled and asked: "Which scribe did you give this post to?" ”

"It's not a scrivener," Xu Qiuren hurriedly bowed down and said with a smile, "It's a gentleman surnamed Gao in the house who happened to come to the scrivener's room and took the post of a humble post......"

Everything is understood, it's this Gao Shiqi who is playing tricks on people again! It must have been Gao Shiqi who accepted Xu's money, and he was afraid that he would not accept it because he was in a bad mood, so he came up with this joke. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a cold cold air hitting Mingzhu's heart. This man knows his temper so well that he plays with himself! Thinking about it, there is no unscrupulous plan to rectify Gao Shiqi at this time. Mingzhu's eyes dimmed, and he put the post aside without saying a word, gritted his teeth and said to himself: "I don't want to fill the gap for the surname Xu, wait for him to bite you!"

Gao Shiqi is called Jiangcun, a great talent, Kangxi's favorite minister. It is Dongfang Shuo, Ji Xiaolan and other characters. He took Xu Qiuren's silver, but he pretended to be Mingzhu's hand to get Xu Qiuren a position as a foreign official. Mingzhu understands in her heart, but she has to give in to her misery. The realm of officialdom fighting for power can be seen.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, in life, the phenomenon of Xu Yumao is everywhere. The packaging game of Internet celebrities will be played when the Qing Dynasty is in the country.

Gao Shiqi remained silent, and packaged a star official. Mingzhu doesn't work much on weekdays, and at the critical moment, Kangxi questioned, and only Mr. Xu Qiuren who was changed to Xu Yumao was in his mind. As a result, Mr. Xu Qiuren was promoted.

This method is exactly the same as the current Internet celebrity packaging method!

But their popularity is inseparable from the amplification and diffusion of the Internet as a medium, which is in line with the aesthetics, ugliness, entertainment, stimulation, voyeurism, conjecture and viewership of netizens, and is intentionally or unintentionally sought after by the online world.

It can be said that every Internet celebrity was Xu Qiuren before he became famous, and he became an Internet celebrity through plastic surgery, climbing, showing the lower limit, hype, and even hype stains.

The routine is exactly the same. But it's much more than the high river village lo!

Is there less such a thing in the collecting world? For tattered works, find some experts to evaluate them, and find a few auctions to raise. The value skyrocketed. If you don't know this great painter at the dinner table, you'll be embarrassed!

There are actually a lot of such trends in the entertainment industry and the pop industry. An actor who is inexplicably popular, and an inexplicably popular thing. In fact, this game is played in my bones. Nietzsche said, "What is art?" It's prostitution" (haha, Nietzsche said, not me)

There should be an attitude towards such things.

Everything that becomes an overnight phenomenon, whether it's pop, art, collecting, if you don't understand the operation behind it, don't be gullible. Let him fend for himself, let him come to light. Because of this kind of phenomenon, it comes and goes quickly.

But if this is the case, will we all become insensitive, infresh, dull and dull people?

Of course not.

Warren Buffett has been an investor for 40 years, always away from the hustle and bustle of Wall Street, living in a small town in Omaha. Reject any message. But so far no one has been able to surpass him. In the past 40 years, the tide has ebbed and flowed, and no one has shaken the status of the god of stocks.

Actually, if you are patient enough, you will always wait to get real pop, real art, real stars... Something valuable will stand the test of time.

In the Internet era, information has exploded and spread rapidly. The human heart often does not keep up with the eyes and ears. Or often carried away by the eyes and ears.

Different operations, different forces, and even general elections are using the Internet to grab eyeballs and ears. are all affecting the heart. This is the hardest generation in history. It is also the most passive generation facing the trend.

Because the trend is short and long, true and false. When pandering, the trend is short-lived and disappears; When the wind comes, it is the pigs flying. In fact, we are all envious of pigs. Hehe!
