Chapter 773: Wolf Dogs Full of Streets (Medium)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The reason why Shen Mo did not take office immediately after receiving the appointment was because this was an important step in his official career and he must be cautious.

With the new monarch, only thirty years old, the court pushed the unanimous vote, and sat on the throne of the Ministry of Rites, known as the 'prince minister', which of these will make him the focus of attention, not to mention all in one?

There is also a disadvantageous factor, although Shen Mo has been an official for a long time and has made great achievements, his time in Beijing is too short, and he has never been in charge alone, and most of his achievements have been achieved in the southeast. Although the officials in Yu Jing were thunderous, they didn't see it after all, and now this mysterious little Lord Shen is finally about to enter the room, and there must be countless pairs of curious, or scrutinizing eyes staring at him, or even waiting to see his jokes.

The impact of his words and deeds at this time, whether good or bad, will be magnified countless times, and become the first impression of these people's 'seeing is believing'. Mixing officialdom, in the final analysis, is an image, but most people often have the opportunity to have deep friendships, so the first impression is often the final impression; Even if you have the opportunity to make deep friends, if you want to change the first impression, you have to put in ten times the effort. Once he makes a mistake, leaving everyone with the impression that this person is 'in vain' or 'forgetful', it will be a heavy blow to his reputation and image.

Every step of the way is after careful consideration and consultation with a few strategists. For example, the matter of proposing cooperation with Sunrise is of course very beneficial in the long run, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and once it spreads, it will be harmful to the image of silence at the moment...... First, the reputation of Jin Shang is not good after all, and it is best to draw a line with it at present; Second, he is now the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of Tsinghua University, and if he blindly entangles in the matter of money, he will inevitably be looked down upon.

Therefore, Shen Mo used a righteous and awe-inspiring reason not to accept Rishenglong's request for cooperation, which gave people the impression that the country's righteousness was the most important; At the same time, he did not say it completely, leaving a foreshadowing for further negotiations in the future. After a private meeting, he took such painstaking thoughts, and it is self-evident how to pay attention to it when he takes office publicly......

In fact, although he has not officially gone to the Yazhang seal, he has already entered the state of being a new official. First of all, before Tingtui, he took the opportunity to ask for advice and shuttled to visit, and he never tired of it. But after the results came out, he stayed at home and did not visit anyone again, whether it was his superiors or colleagues. Although this seems to be rude, it is actually the most offensive way...... Don't forget, more than 30 adults voted in favor, and if you visit them one by one, it will not only tire people to death, but also tend to appear too sleek, and the effect will not be good...... It is not difficult to understand that they all attach importance to it, that is, they do not pay attention to it, and they all visit, that is, they do not visit.

If you only visit one part, the other part will definitely feel despised and will inevitably be dissatisfied, and if there is a narrow-minded temperament, it will even produce resentment, and maybe it will hurt you at any time, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

As for those colleagues, protégés, relatives and friends who wanted to congratulate him, as well as the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were ready to solemnly welcome him to take office, he refused them all, because the former did not have the suspicion of a punter party reunion, and the latter seemed to be too ostentatious. What's more, during the state mourning, why should it attract the attention of those over-energetic imperial historians?

Low-key is the long-term secret of official luck, and the more new officials take office, the more attention is on them, the more they must not forget.

But he didn't do it perfectly, because he didn't hide his whereabouts well, so it was so easy for those clan nobles to find the door, and they gathered people to come and blocked the door of his house tightly, and hundreds of people ate and drank outside the door, which not only seriously affected the normal life of the people in the house, but also became the laughing stock of his colleagues, so that it was difficult to clean up.

This kind of group ** piece, the slightest mistake may cause accidents, and the best way to deal with it is to avoid it. In addition to giving the king and his subordinates a good impression of dedication and diligence, they can also avoid many troubles, is it possible for anyone to dare to block the palace gate?

Although he couldn't hide in the palace, he had foreseen earlier that hiding in the Beijing suburb manor would also avoid today's situation.

But since this is already the case, he can only wait patiently for the situation to calm down, and those people retreat by themselves, anyway, he can eat and sleep in the mansion, and he doesn't believe that he can't consume those nobles who can't endure hardship.

Of course, he can't let time pass in vain, he has to use this time, and strive to be familiar with the affairs of the ministry, although he once served as a waiter in the ministry, and is very clear about the division, responsibilities, and past situation of the Ministry of Rites, but he still does not dare to slack off, and orders someone to go to the Ministry of Rites to retrieve a whole box of archives and documents, and carefully check them to understand the latest personnel changes and important work tasks. As a long-established official, he can even see some of the characteristics and abilities of his subordinates, as well as the atmosphere of his headquarters, from these daily correspondence, which will undoubtedly be of great benefit to him in carrying out his work.

Seeing that the adults were not only complacent after being promoted to Shangshu, but were more cautious, the three friends were very pleased, so they tried their best to give advice, and even told him some of the advice that had been buried for a long time.

Shen Mingchen said to him, adults have always been deep and steady, and I often hear people say that you don't look like a young man at all when you act. Although these people are all praised. But I don't think it's all a good thing, because I've heard that people have to follow the way of heaven, what is the way of heaven? 'Spring, summer, autumn, winter' also, life is like the alternation of the seasons, and the four seasons have themes. Adults and young people are proud, just like the spring and summer of life, they should strive for progress and show their spirit, as long as they grasp the degree. You don't have to be too restrained. If it is blindly restricted, it will not be summer and winter, and it will be ominous to go against the sky.

Shen Mo heard the words and said respectfully: "I have been taught." ”

Yu Yin said to him, the adults are approachable, kind and loving to the subordinates, this is of course your strength, which has benefited you a lot, but it is also your long-standing problem. If they are too approachable, it will be difficult to establish authority, and once there is something difficult for them, they will inevitably push back and bargain; And being too kind to your subordinates will cause them to lose their reverence...... I heard that your housekeeper married a twelve-room concubine, and his financial problems must have been not small, but your lordship did not punish him severely, but just sent him to Shanghai to continue his free life. The consequence of this is that there are some powerful people in the house, all of whom have filled their own pockets and ruined your reputation.

Silent forehead saw sweat and said, "Is it really that serious?" ”

"That's true, especially in the most half year you were in Beizhen Fusi, it has intensified." Yu Yin said: "If you don't believe it, you can entrust a capable person, and if you check the accounts of the house in detail, you can see it at a glance." After a pause, he said: "Sage Yun: 'Qi family governance', it can be seen that governing the family and governing the country are connected, the adults themselves are young, if they are still blindly kind and benevolent, it is difficult to establish their own authority, and it is difficult to succeed in doing things. ”

"So how do you do that?" Silence's face grim, clearly aware of the seriousness of the problem.

"A 'strict' word is the head." Yu Yin said: "Be clear-sighted, no matter if you are close to each other, you will be punished if you have a mistake, and you will be lenient." ”

"I know everything else, but what does it mean to be 'lenient'?" Silent asked humbly.

"It means that in addition to strictly enforcing the law, we must do our best to show kindness." Yu Yin said: "Your Excellency may wish to think about the story of Zhuge Liang's tears and slashing horses, this is a superb realm of control, which can not only be strict with the law, but also not damage his reputation for benevolence." ”

Shen Mo nodded convincingly, "I've been taught." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was Wang Yin's turn, and among the three, he had the highest knowledge, so everyone calmed down and waited for the old gentleman to speak.

"They talked about how to be the top, so I'll talk about how to do it." He took a sip of tea unhurriedly, put down the teacup, and said softly: "I've been thinking about a question, adults are so good, why is it always not as important as Zhang Juzheng in the eyes of Xu Ge Lao?" ”

"Because they're father and son." Shen Mingchen laughed strangely, but seeing that no one took care of him, he had to say embarrassedly: "Adjust the atmosphere......"

smiled silently and said to Wang Yin: "Don't hide it from Shiyuegong, this problem has plagued me for many years, I thought it might be a different concept?" Or is it first-come, first-served? However, there has been no definite answer. Said with a wry smile and said: "But listen to what you mean, obviously because I didn't satisfy Xu Gelao." ”

"Hmm." Wang Yin nodded slowly and said: "That's the case, but the pass is, the excellence of adults is incomparable, in terms of age, qualifications, merits, and connections, no matter which one is impeccable, if he is not satisfied, what kind of students does he want Xu Jie?" ”

"Zhang Juzheng is like that." Shen Mingchen couldn't help but say strange things again.

This time, he didn't have the expected white eyes, but was praised by Shiyuegong: "Sure enough, it is a fool who has a thousand thoughts, and there is also a gain, and the sentence is right...... No matter how good an adult is, it is not the kind that Xu Ge Lao needs, and it is in vain with him. ”

"Then what kind of person does Xu Ge want to find?" Shen Mo asked.

"To understand this question, we must first understand why he spares no effort to cultivate disciples." Wang Yin said slowly: "In the two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there was a set of official election system, and the officials were selected or promoted by the Ministry of Officials or by the court, the survival of the fittest, and the capable were on the top, so how could they be personally cultivated by Lord Shoufu." His eyes flashed and said: "The reason why he is so enthusiastic is that cherishing talent and love is one thing, but I'm afraid it's more because he is planning for himself - after seeing Yang Tinghe, Zhang Xuan, Xia Yan, Yan Song, this Lord Zaifu, who has unlimited scenery, dies or dies after stepping down, and after the bleak evening, he wants to leave a way back for himself, so he wants to find the most secure candidate, he will send this person unpaid grace, send him to the peak, so that after he becomes a leader, it is enough and necessary to protect him and his family, this is the goal of Xu Ge's old candidate. ”

"It seems that Zhang Juzheng is the best candidate in his eyes." Shen Mo said softly.

"Zhang Juzheng's mind is extremely high, and the way to the next can be described as perfect, so it's no wonder that Xu Jie will fall in love with him." Wang Yin said in a deep voice: "There must be my teacher in the threesome, and the adults should choose the good ones and follow them." ”

"Be taught." Shen Mo nodded.

"He is very talented, I heard that Xu Ge Lao trusts him very much, and he will discuss with him when he encounters major events, he always has true insight and insight, and plans on his behalf, without any miscalculation, and is deeply relied on by Xu Jie." After a pause, he said: "But he was not pampered and arrogant, but became more and more respectful and worshiped a teacher as a god." I must ask for instructions in advance and report afterwards, never make decisions without authorization, and I have no intention of leaving Xu Jiejie and starting a new stove. And no matter what he did, he said that it was the credit of Xu Gelao; No matter what achievements are made, it is said that this is the cultivation of Xu Gelao...... Such a disciple, which teacher is not warm, of course will treat him as his own. ”

Looking at Lord Shen with a deep contemplative face, Wang Yin continued: "On the other hand, my lord, I didn't treat Xu Ge Zhenxin as a teacher at the beginning, never took the initiative to ask him for instructions and reports, and didn't pay attention to contacting feelings. I always feel that if I do things beautifully, Xu Ge will be satisfied. Actually, no, as your superior, he doesn't just have results. It is also necessary to keep abreast of your dynamics and exert their own influence on you; As a teacher, he needs your recognition and loyalty even more. Over the years, the adults have made a lot of contributions to the opening of the sea ban, the pacification of southern Gansu, the repair of rivers, and the development of industry and commerce, but the glory only belongs to you and the first emperor, what does it have to do with Xu Ge Lao? Even the greater the merit of the adults, the higher the status, and the stronger the connections, the more distant you will be. ”

"Another point, that is, the wings of adults have hardened, and the ups and downs of honor and disgrace are not determined by him Xu Ge Lao in a word." Seeing that Shen Mo's face was not good, Yu Yin interjected: "Of course, this feeling will make Xu Ge Lao uncomfortable, and he also knows that the adult has nothing to ask for him, so how can he be kind to the adult?" ”

"Junfang doesn't have to comfort me." Shen sighed silently and said: "Shiyue Gong's words woke up the people in the dream, I used to complain about Xu Ge's injustice, but now I know that this is the evil result of my own planting." ”

"Adults don't have to blame themselves too much, after all, it's not too late to make amends." Wang Yin smiled: "After all, you are teachers and students, broken bones are still connected to tendons, as long as you pay attention from now on, the relationship will naturally gradually improve." Saying Zhengse, he said: "And I said this, mainly not for Xu Jie, but for another person......"

"High arch?" Shen Mo immediately realized.

"Yes, this person is blessed, and he is so much younger than Xu Jie, he will be in power sooner or later." Wang Yin said in a deep voice: "This person has a hard temperament, ten times more difficult than Xu Ge, if you don't get along well, there will be endless troubles." ”

"Hmm......" Shen Mo nodded approvingly. I thought that Wang Yin had finished speaking, but who knew that he said again: "There is another matter, I have to talk to adults." ”

"Sir, please." Said silently.

"About the contradiction between Xu Gao?" Wang Yin smiled and asked, "How do you plan to deal with yourself?" ”

"Didn't you say that?" said silently: "It's difficult for the two women to be aunts, I can't afford to offend both ends, no matter how lively they fight, I will turn a blind eye, and just make up my mind not to mix." ”

"What if they have to force you to take a stand?" Wang Yin asked with a smile.

"Then I will say, thank you for the trust of the cabinet elder in me, and I sincerely hope that the cabinet will be harmonious and sincere." Shen Mo smiled: "I think they won't be embarrassed, drag me into the water again." ”

"Adults are good at the way of officialdom, and this method can't be wrong after all." Wang Yin said with a smile: "It is said that the two tigers are contending, and those who are subordinate officials really can't express their stance easily." But if you can foresee the victory or defeat of both sides, it is a different matter. ”

"Xu Ge, as the prime minister of Gu Ming, coerced the heavy grace of the "Edict" and won the hearts of the people in the world, and the chances of winning this period are not good...... I know that. Shen Mo frowned and said: "But he and the emperor are like father and son, who knows if there will be a day when the mountains will make a comeback?" So I'm worried that if I support Xu Jie, I will inevitably suffer from Gao Gong's retaliation in the future, but on the other hand, the liquidation is in front of me, and the two simply don't mix. ”

"Adults are fans of the authorities......," Wang Yin said with a smile: "In fact, there is a way to do both." ”

"Tell me quickly." Shen Mo was overjoyed when he heard this.

"The key is to prescribe the right medicine, Xu Jie's side, he will give him a 'peace of mind pill'; Gao Gong's side, he will specialize in 'clearing heat and dispersing', and with licorice, I am afraid of any sequelae." Wang Yin's eyes flashed with wisdom.

"This can not only make Xu Jie feel at ease, but also give Gao Gong a fever ......" Shen Mo muttered: "Even if you make your position, you must not offend Gao Gong, but after verification in the future, you will be considered prescient by him, and regret not listening to the advice......" The more I thought about it, the more I felt wonderful, and I couldn't help stroking my palms and laughing: "Sure enough, it is one person who is short and three people who are long, thank you to a few gentlemen, now I have the bottom in my heart." ”

"That's it, the three stinkers, and they also beat Zhuge Liang." Shen Mingchen smiled proudly.

"Doesn't it seem like you're doing anything?" Seeing that the strategy was adopted by the adults, Wang Yin was in a good mood and joked with Shen Mingchen.

"I have an idea, too." Shen Mingchen's strength is not to give advice, but to respond to emergencies, of course, he is thick-skinned enough: "Although it is not as good as you, it is much better than a stinker, right?" ”

"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed, and Shen Mo also laughed, but his smile was more gratifying, and he said that people who say that the right way is more helpful and the unrighteous are less helpful, and I can be regarded as a Taoist, right?

The laughter passed through the roof and reached the sky, startling the geese flying south, but soon lined up again, and flew towards the warm south—
