Chapter 981: If you poke me in the heart, I'll expose and slap you in the face
Don't hit people in the face, and don't expose their words. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Xing wanted to make Wu Jue the deputy prime minister of military affairs, but he was first questioned and slapped in the face by three Confucian officials, and Liu Xing, who was bound to repay him, naturally would not spare them, and immediately slapped Yang Shi, Zhu Zhen and Zhou Tao in the face with the old past.
Does this backlash make a loud slap in the face? It was played very loudly.
First of all, when he said Yang, he was originally a student of young ambition. Yang Shi, who could write poetry at the age of eight and write at the age of nine, was already famous at the age of fifteen, and became a student at the age of twenty-one. It stands to reason that a so-called literary wizard like him should have risen all the way.
However, the fact is that after Yang Shi was admitted to the Jinshi, the first official position he was awarded was to join the army as a household in charge of household registration, taxation, warehouse payment, etc., and was not awarded a magistrate with real power.
In fact, according to Yang Shi's talent at that time, not only did he think that many famous Confucian eunuchs in the court at that time also thought that he was qualified and capable of serving as a magistrate on the ruling side. But why was he not given the title of presiding officer, but was given the position of a priest to join the army?
To put it bluntly, it is all caused by the stereotypes and customs in the officialdom.
You must know that Yang Shi was just a young man back then, and he didn't have much social experience at all. For him at that time, the kind of stunned young man who had no experience, not only the Great Song Dynasty, but also all dynasties in the past dared to directly hand over a county seat to him to be responsible.
But it was that kind of stereotype and bad customs that caused the young Yang Shi to deeply feel the harm of the unspoken rules of officialdom "misleading people's future", and he was so angry that he didn't do anything as an official, wandered around and began to study abroad.
Yang Shi, who was proud of his talent, wandered around for several years, and then he was forced to make a living and had no choice, so he could only find the former examiner to come forward and help him find an official position to support his family.
So what kind of official position did he get at that time? It is the judiciary of Xuzhou, in fact, it is still an official position at the level of chief of staff of a local state, and it still can't let him display his ambitions.
In desperation, Yang Shi met a person by chance, and that was a foreigner who had returned to his hometown after 30 years of official service. The old man said that the most fundamental point of breaking the unspoken rules of officialdom in previous dynasties was to learn from teachers and interpersonal relationships, which made Yang Shi at that time suddenly enlightened.
After the enlightenment, he hung his position and ate official duties, and at the same time ran to worship the door of the great Confucian scholar Cheng Hao.
Sure enough, Yang Shi, who was famous, really began to move steadily in the sea since then. was first promoted to the magistrate of the county, and then promoted to the governor, and in just a few years, he achieved the official position of deputy governor and prefect.
However, how can life be as good as it should be, just when Yang Shi was in high spirits and swaying all the way, the vigorous Yuanyou transformation began. He also wanted to participate in that political change and show his talent more, but first his mother died, and then his father died.
Confucian etiquette emphasizes loyalty, righteousness and filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, and filial piety when parents die. Seeing others calling for wind and rain in Yuan You's changes, Yang Shi at that time could only honestly stay at home and guard his parents.
When his period of observance expires and he can become an official again, okay! That change has entered a period of deterioration in partisanship.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he didn't want to be implicated without benefits, so he simply hung up an idle official position, and then went to Yichuan Academy to stage a widely publicized classic plot, the so-called good story of "Cheng Men Lixue", and successfully worshiped his uncle, that is, Cheng Hao's younger brother Cheng Yi as a teacher.
After hiding in Yichuan Academy, Yang Shi put on a new posture of studying academics, so that he successfully avoided the scourge of party strife by virtue of the protection of Ercheng Confucianism's current leader......
But the unspoken rules of officialdom at that time Yang Shi only knew one and didn't know the other. In the Yuan You change method in which Sima Guang and others finally won, how to change, and party contention as the main theme, he did not show his face or stand in line.
As a result, when everything was cleared and the blue sky was cleared, and the major events were finally settled, when he wanted to be an official again, he was only assigned a small official position as a magistrate in Liuyang because he did not stand in line. After that, he was first Xiaoshan and then Yuhang, and he has been working as a county magistrate.
However, it was during that time that he realized that he had to stand in line as an official, so he chose to stand in the justice brigade that opposed the six thieves.
This stood in line, and soon Yang Shi strongly criticized Tong Guan and Cai Jing with his outstanding literary talents, and was appreciated by the court and the six thieves who were quite powerful ministers at that time, and soon he was called into the center from Xiaozhi County to be the secretary.
After that, he accompanied the king and fought against Jin, and only then did he get the praise of the world and could follow Ma Kuo to be reused as soon as he was put into Liu Xing's command......
Similar to Yang Shi's situation, Zhou Tao and Zhu Zhen were also depressed in their early years, rising and falling repeatedly, and suffered from the ups and downs of the Huan Sea. It wasn't until they chose to stand in line and joined Liu Xing's new brigade that they had today's high-ranking officials.
But digging into the past, why were they depressed back then?
To say that these three people are all honest officials, it is precisely because they are too strict to abide by the Confucian teachings of honesty that they have been suppressed in the era of traitors.
If you want to be a hero, you must first know how to adapt to the times, so that you can first let the times create heroes, and then urge you to become heroes to create the times.
It's a pity that no matter whether it is Yang Shi or Zhu Zhen and Zhou Tao, none of them are real heroes, at most it is the poem that Liu Xing plagiarized and boasted of composing: "Nine or eight times out of ten are white-eyed, and useless are scholars."
A few useless scholars, but in the chaotic world, when others are greedy, they choose to clean themselves, which naturally only makes their grandmother not love their uncle and uncle, and they have been mixed for many years until they meet Liu Xing, they can finally see the light of day and soar to the sky......
But not everyone reads like them and reads their heads as elm pimples, Liu Jian relied on Gao Yu's promotion to enter the official career, Wu Jue is no exception, the first reuse of his Qu Duan because of Gao Yu and Tong Guan from a very close relationship, is still being Liu Xingliang in Xikang as a patrol envoy.
Relying on the six thieves to enter the official career was the only way for the generals in the old era to escape. Since he relied on the six thieves to enter the right path, he naturally will not follow the example of the rotten Confucianism to go against the times and claim to be a heroic death.
Therefore, Wu Jue's so-called greed in the past was simply forced by the times. Now Wu Jue is not only not greedy, but has become more hateful than anyone else. Once in Hubei, in just over a month, he successively cut down more than 30 officers who were greedy for money and food, and killed no one in his army who dared to touch his greedy thoughts.
If you want to say that Wu Jue's army robbery is a crime, the culprit is Liu Xing. The strategy of "fighting to feed war" was set by Liu Xing, and Wu Jue was only the executor. The words of Yang Shi, Zhou Tao and Zhu Zhen are equivalent to poking Liu Xing's heart and saying that Liu Xing is not.
You dare to poke my heart, if I don't expose your shortcomings and slap you in the face, then I am still an evil son? This is the reason why Liu Xing said that, and after those words came out of Liu Xing's mouth, Yang Shi, Zhu Zhen and Zhou Tao suddenly realized that they had lost their words, and they were all so frightened that they trembled like chaff and knelt on the ground together.
