In the next few days, Shi Bufan really caused a big sensation. Even many officials Ji An showed a look of fear when they arrived at Shi Bufan, because Shi Bufan even moved two prime ministers, so who would dare not pay attention to it? Of course, this is just the idea of the officials below and the ordinary people, and they may not necessarily be able to have such long-term insight in the bureau. It is not even possible to know the contradictions and conflicts between the top management. It's like an ordinary person in later generations, although every day I see the officials on TV with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and the image of a good comrade between the major senior officials, but behind the scenes, who knows how many conflicts of interest there are?

Not to mention that the people don't know, even many middle and low-level officials don't know about the emperor and the conflict of interest between various high-ranking officials! However, Shi Bufan happens to be clear, because the resumes of several prime ministers in the early years of his Tang Dynasty are also very clear. Coupled with some of his inferences about the common sense of those officialdoms, it is easy to draw contradictions between them. In this way, Shi Bufan took advantage of the situation, otherwise he would not dare to mess around.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Shi Bufan is a "Zhuge Liang" who can know things in advance. But Shi Bufan himself knows very well that he is just an afterthought, and the reverse analysis after the fact is far easier than predicting in advance!

However, Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu obviously did not come to Shi Bufan to take revenge, because revenge against Shi Bufan only means that their political level is low, and it will ruin their reputation. Anyway, they themselves had already predicted that they would have a day when they would become a son of heaven and a courtier, but this day came a little suddenly, but it was also expected.

"In addition to taking advantage of the situation to move to Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu this time, but the main thing is to break the opportunity for the Jiangnan wealthy family to cultivate the second generation of spokespersons. Originally, Shi Liuxun, the governor of Nankang Prefecture, would be transferred to the post of Wannian County Commander if nothing else, and come over to grab credit from me. It's a pity that I moved to Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu first, so that Liu Xun's plan to transfer to Wannian County Commander was completely bankrupt. Fortunately, I know that Liu Xun was the second-generation spokesperson of the Jiangnan Hao clan in history, otherwise I am afraid that I would not know how to die this time! It's really dangerous, otherwise I would have made a performance, but I would be making a wedding dress for someone else. But this time it blocked Liu Xun's future, and Liu Xun didn't know what he would think of me in the future? Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and I can only take one step at a time. Shi Bufan also thought helplessly.

Shi Bufan didn't care about the future, although he had mastered the original history, but he obviously found that he seemed to have begun to lose some control. The original history has changed in some details, but he has no choice, he can only take one step at a time. Later, he can only do his current thing. At present, he is just a county official, and he can handle people's livelihood affairs well, and he can't control anything else.

"Brother Shi Xian, I'm coming to see you!" A voice suddenly came from behind Shi Bufan.

Shi Bufan immediately turned around and said enthusiastically: "Brother Liu, what kind of wind blew you here!" Didn't you just take up your post as a county governor in Xianyang? How do you have time to come to me? According to my Datang rules, all county officials can't leave the county without permission, why did you leave casually? ”

This "Brother Liu" is also Liu Renliang, who just took office in Xianyang County half a month ago. Shi Bufan helped Liu Renliang intercede in front of Li Shimin, so that Liu Renliang not only did not live a crime, but was promoted because of a blessing in disguise and obtained the official position of Xianyang County Cheng. Xianyang County is actually very close to Chang'an, Chang'an is just a county in this era, and Xianyang is also a county. However, Chang'an and Xianyang are very close, in fact, they are just two counties bordering each other. Chang'an is the Xi'an of later generations, and Xianyang is also called Xianyang in later generations, but anyone who has traveled to Xi'an should be slightly clear that Xi'an and Xianyang are almost integrated in later generations, and even the telephone area code is the same.

"It's okay, I'm just coming to see you, brother Xian! Before, thanks to the virtuous brother, you interceded for me, otherwise I would not have been able to escape, and even came to Xianyang to serve as a county minister! I haven't been able to thank you, brother Xian, I have to do everything today, please go to Chang'an for a meal. As for your worries that I will leave casually, this is actually why I asked the county magistrate for an official document asking him to 'send' me to Chang'an to do something, and I can always find an excuse, isn't it? Liu Renliang said.

"Oh, I see!" Shi Bufan said with a smile, obviously this Liu Renliang just found an excuse at random, and asked his boss to "send" him to Chang'an to do things, this kind of excuse is easy to find, for example, traveling abroad is called going abroad for inspection or something, as long as you are willing to find an excuse, you can always find it.

However, it is more convenient to be extraordinary, he is the attached Guo County of Chang'an City, so he can naturally enter and exit Chang'an City at will, and it will not have any impact. The two ordered a few small dishes in a small inn, and began to chat while eating, anyway, they came to dinner at work, and no one in Chang'an dared to care about Shi Bufan, the two prime ministers had just stepped down, who dared to provoke Shi Bufan! I am afraid that a little work discipline will not be able to restrain the current extraordinary.

"Brother Shi, I salute you, since the last time you faced me, a person who has never lived in life, you can share the risk together like this, and even take the risk of being affected by me to intercede for me, then from that moment on, I have recognized you, you are my friend in this life, forever! I said that if I came over this time, I would like to be friends with you. Liu Renliang said.

Shi Bufan refused to say: "Let's not make it like those people in the rivers and lakes, and make any worship." We are court officials, and it is not good to do anything. We should be 'comrades' with the same interests and ideals, not friends of this kind of gangsters. So when it comes to swearing, there is no need to mention it again. As long as we are still like-minded 'comrades', is there such a so-called eight-worship friendship? ”

"That's true, but the word 'comrade' is used well, we are like-minded, so we are naturally 'comrade'. Anyway, the matter of the friendship of the eight worships will not be mentioned again. Liu Renliang said.

Obviously, Shi Bufan and Liu Renliang both know that it is vulgar to say anything about eight worships in the officialdom. In the political circles, don't talk about the friendship of eight worships, the biological father and son can turn against each other, what is this kind of friendship of eight worships? Rather than talking about this, it is better to pursue the ideals that are shared by all, which is the core of the relationship between the two sides. If the Tao is different, then it is natural to "not conspire with each other", which is commonly used in political circles. If the interest groups represented are different, or the governing philosophy is different, then even if they bow down, they are all in harmony and meaningless.

What's more, swearing among officials is clearly forming an interest group, which will be hated by the superiors. This kind of thing is far more harmful than good, so Shi Bufan didn't do anything about worshipping.

"Brother Liu, don't you have anything to do? How do you have time to come to Chang'an? Shi Bufan asked again.

Liu Renliang immediately said: "Actually, there is nothing to be busy with, do you think that the counties in the world are like you, and they can have something to do?" ”

"Hehe, it seems that it is the same, the emperor is going to reuse you!" Shi Bufan said.

In fact, the legal responsibility of such an official position as a county official is not obvious, so it is possible that he has no power at all. Even in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, a poet wrote a special poem to describe the sorrow of the county, and was even bullied by a scribe in the yamen. This is enough to show that during the Tang Dynasty, officials should not be deputies, especially local officials, not to be deputies, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no rights, and it is better for subordinates to join the army. This is the same as the vice president of the United States, and he has no power, except to act when the number one is not there, but the probability of the number one not being there is too low.

But for Liu Renliang, it's different. In this same position, some people do rise and fall secretly, but some people are promoted and reused. Maybe there is no position for you for a while, so give you an idle position first, and mix up the rank first, so that it will be smoother to be promoted later. Liu Renliang is obviously like this, he mixes the level first, and then finds an opportunity to promote more smoothly.

"Okay, don't talk about that, I'll take a look at how to be an official now. Now I still have a dark eye for the imperial court, and I don't know at all. Since I was recommended by Ren Gui to join the army for Xizhou a few years ago, but that was only an outside position, and I didn't know anything about Jingzhao Chang'an. Brother, you are in Chang'an, can you introduce me to the way of being an official? Liu Renliang said.

Obviously, Liu Renliang still doesn't know how to be an official, let alone how to be an official in the central government. Being an official is not an ability that can be mastered out of thin air, but also requires a long period of training. The saying that the way of being an official can only be understood but not spoken in many cases. Even many times, the test of being an official is the ability to adapt, not the ability to work in daily work. There are more people who work on a daily basis, but how many can be promoted? The only people who can really rise up and achieve great things are those who can seize opportunities when they are critical. Otherwise, even if you do things all your life, you will still be an old scalper in the end.

"Actually, being an official is nothing more than a few! Especially being an official near the capital is even more important. I would like to introduce to you in particular, my experience is nothing more than five senses and five actions. Shi Bufan said.

"Five senses and five do?" Liu Renliang obviously didn't quite understand.

Shi Bufan continued: "The five senses and five things are actually small officials who do it, idle officials who are busy doing it, male officials and women doing it, vulgar officials doing it, and finally hot officials doing it cold." ”

"Actually, you don't look at me as an eight-rank petty official now, but you have participated in various high-level affairs. A few days ago, didn't I just impeach Chen Shuda and the right servant of the monk Shang Shu in the service to shoot Xiao Yu? Although I am a lowly official, I take the initiative to participate in the affairs of the court, so I don't have you for the credit? And participating in the major events of the court will help to improve your horizons, don't put your eyes on a small place. Improving one's horizons is even better than improving one's ability to do things! ”

"As for the idle officials who are busy, that is why we are now serving as the county officials, what an idle official they are! But don't let yourself be really idle, you have to be busy, don't let yourself take the court's money for nothing. Let me tell you, the emperor today hates the most people who eat and don't work. The emperor is pragmatic today, especially the officials who served in the Jingzhao generation, even if they are idle, they have to make some things to do, don't let the emperor think that we are eating empty salaries. Although the emperor may not necessarily remove you from office, it is easy to prevent you from being promoted. Of course, those who are far away from the emperor are idle, and if they are idle, they will have no future anyway. ”

"As for male officials and women, in fact, it is to find a virtuous helper. You should also know that my fiancée is Shang Gong, well-informed, and proficient in housekeeping. Even the court is well managed, let alone the family? As a man, shouldn't you find a virtuous helper? If you can't manage your family affairs well, then how can you work hard in officialdom? When the time comes, you won't be in trouble if you get a fire in your backyard? Isn't the current emperor also a virtuous helper, so why he is today? ”

"It's easy to do it. Don't just be an official for the sake of being an official, but also get some literature and art. Look at me, even if I am an official, I have proposed the so-called study of the mind! It is not enough to be able to do things, but also to improve the foundation of knowledge, learn a higher concept of governance, and take the initiative to learn better things. If you just do things for the sake of doing things, then your life is also the life of doing things. If you really go to the top and don't have your own set of ideas, it won't work. How can I let myself have a set of ways to govern the country, not to study hard and take the initiative to summarize with the wisdom of the ancients? And read more books, even all kinds of books. We should not just look at Confucianism, but also all scientific knowledge, and we must enrich ourselves in order to be able to sum up our own way of governing the country. Having one's own way of governing the country is the most important thing to go to the top. Otherwise, if you are submissive and can only do things, then you will be subject to others in this life. ”

"In the end, it is necessary to do it coldly. When you get to the top, a whole bunch of people who tend to be inflammatory. But you have to be careful, don't accept any flies and bugs. You have to keep a low profile, and don't associate with everyone. Only those who are truly like-minded will be able to mingle, otherwise don't look at your eagerness, but a whole bunch of flies and bugs are around you, and they will pull you into the water and drown. Those who tend to be inflammatory, today they can follow you, tomorrow they can betray you. Only those like-minded 'comrades' with the same ideals are trustworthy, otherwise if you accept those flies and bugs casually, it will not only chill the hearts of comrades, but also make others think of it? If you are this kind of person, what do you let the emperor think of you? Then your future will be ruined! (To be continued.) )
