In the fourth year of Song Renzong's Heavenly Sage, an incident happened in this year.

A seven-year-old boy with the compound surname Sima and a single name and a light character, calmly picked up a big stone when his friend fell into the big water tank, smashed the tank, and shook Jingluo.

Since then, there has been an additional story of Sima Guang smashing the cylinder in the Chinese allusions, and it has also left a small tongue twister of "Sima Guang smashing the light" for later generations of cross talk sketches.

For a thousand years since then, there have always been some unconvinced bear children who will say: What is this? If I had changed, I would have smashed the cylinder to save people.

However, when Zhu Cihong first heard this story, his first reaction was: The unlucky guy who fell into the water must have been pushed down by Sima Guang!

The ignorant reaction when he was a child directly showed that Zhu Cihong's nature was by no means a good person. Really kind children would never think of such a shady behind-the-scenes story. When Zhu Cihong becomes an adult, this sprout will also grow up, if he tells the child the story of smashing the tank to save his friend, he will definitely analyze the truth of the unlucky child falling into the water from the perspective of benefits.

It turns out that Sima Guang has the biggest gains.

Of course, it may also be that Sima Guang seized the opportunity.

So what should you learn as a child who grew up listening to this story?

Seizing the opportunity?

No, it's creating opportunities!

Everyone thought that Zhu Cihong was prescient about the comeback of the plague in July, but they did not notice the commonality of those who suffered from the plague.

Those people are either rich or expensive, and they are all the families of eunuchs and merchants.

Moreover, when the prince raised donations last time, these people refused to come very shamelessly, or they didn't donate money even when they came.

Zhu Cihong said compassionately in front of Chongzhen that he wanted to "cultivate good buds", which seemed to be open-minded, but he never meant to let go of these people.

For those seeds that don't even "sprout", can they be dried except for crushing them and stuffing them in the soil to make fertilizer?

Song Hongye was wearing a heron supplement uniform and slowly walked into the staff room in the compound of the Ministry of War. His current job is nominally to revise the "Map of the Emperor's Staff" with his predecessor Chen Zushou, but in fact, he is holding a lot of money in the military department to make good connections.

All this money was allocated by the crown prince, simply to buy off officials. Song Hongye is well aware of the prince's employment standards, and he also vigorously encompasses talented people who have talents but not good personalities, and gives full play to the old official's style of "shameless on one side and two skins on the other", but he does not annoy the people in the department.

Spending money to buy hearts and minds is still a second-class errand.

Song Hongye's biggest task at present is to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince control a fierce beast in secret.

This beast of prey is the plague.

Anyone who has read the prince's "Treatise on Epidemic Prevention" knows that the plague is spread by fleas on rats, and is essentially an invisible insect. If you have a plague patient in your home, you must isolate everything that has been used, because there may be such bugs on it. Although I feel a little frightened, anyone who has the ability in the Beijing division will rather believe that it is a major event related to the life of the whole family.

Think about the future generations, saying that iodized salt can prevent radiation can make people scramble to queue up all night to buy it. It's just a matter of bathing and washing your hands frequently, and it's not a problem. Some large families have a strict access control system, and the inner and outer houses are never easy to accept, and the things that can be washed are washed three times a day, and it is indeed not easy to be infected with the plague.

In particular, Chinese traditional customs are against physical contact, and when two old friends meet for decades, they only stand five steps away and bow to each other, and never hug, shake hands or even kiss...... This also greatly reduces the rate at which plague spreads among the population.

Once you know the principle, you can do the opposite. With this natural biological and chemical weapon, it can complete its own strategic deployment.

Song Hongye carried a thicker list in his sleeve than before, and every step he took felt heavy. He didn't care about the life and death of those people, or even the life and death of the displaced people who put the plague, what he cared about was how to complete the prince's arrangement perfectly.

Especially the list given by the prince this time is mainly for powerful people and wealthy businessmen. The death of one of these people will have a greater shock to the Ming Dynasty than the death of a thousand homeless people.

What's more, the plague is an incurable disease, once infected, it will be wiped out.

……

Xiang Yu's "Self-Petition for Surrender of Sins" was not handed over immediately after it was written, but was first circulated internally in accordance with the traditional habits of Shilin, attracting alliances widely, unifying the voice, and preparing to attack together.

In terms of literary standards, it is very well written, and the original text may still be found in search engines hundreds of years later. The full text is dictionary but not obscure, and the behavior is popular but not vulgar, which is most suitable for people who are not scholars like the emperor.

When a cadre of Qingliu officials read this article, they were all surprised and admired, and they seconded it. Xiang Yu saw that the response was excellent, and his heart was naturally excited.

- It won't be long before I will be promoted to an official, become a third-grade official, take charge of the Zhan Mansion, accept beautiful girls, and walk to the peak of my career, I am still a little excited when I think about it.

Xiang Yu seemed to see himself put on a three-grade noble robe and wear a bullfighting costume...... Since then, life has embarked on a different world. After he handed the song to the General Administration, he fantasized all the time that the day of his soaring would come sooner. Although he knew the process and efficiency of the General Administration, he still subconsciously asked his family: "Is there anyone from the palace?" ”

In the imagination of this young Zhan Shi, this letter should be able to make him see the sky.

As the days passed, Xiang Yu also heard some news that was not very satisfactory to him. For example, the prince himself asked for guilt and said that he would restrain his subordinates. This will undoubtedly dilute his image of loyalty, but it is not too much of a problem.

The more troublesome is Li Mingrui.

That guy actually asked the literate people among the female officials to come out of the inner palace and help the prince with his errands, and he also called it "people make the best use of their talents"! Isn't there anyone who remembers the chaos of the Hakka clan in the time of the first emperor?

- It's not worth refuting, naturally someone will clean him up.

Every time Xiang Yu saw Li Mingrui, he couldn't help but raise his head, showing obvious disdain.

He just had to wait, wait for someone to come from the palace.

Someone from the palace finally came.

"Master, someone from the palace is here!" The old family rushed into Xiang Yu's study in a panic and shouted loudly.

Xiang Yu slowly put down the book, cleared his throat, forced down the excitement, and pretended to be calm: "Why is it so gaffe?" ”

"Master, it's someone from the palace!" The old family gasped and said, "What should I do!" Master! ”

"Open the door and take the incense case!" Xiang Yu stood up and walked out slowly, kicking the foot of the bookcase in excitement, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

In the Tang Dynasty, the five grades were regarded as the nobles and the three grades were the nobles. Today's three products are also a threshold, if you can step over, the future is bright, not to enter the cabinet for the prime minister is also a feudal official. If you can't get through, I'm afraid your lifelong career will stop here.

Now is the moment of the past, how can Xiang Shaozhan not be excited?

"Yes, yes, yes......"

"But what? Why don't you go and get my court clothes. Xiang Yu hid his slightly trembling hand in his sleeve, waiting to change into court clothes to receive the order.

"But it wasn't the Holy Decree!"

"Is it a dictatorship? Please come in. Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and was a little disappointed in his heart: if it was just a verbal message, I am afraid that he would not be able to cross that threshold immediately and become a dignitary.

"It's the fan of Dongchang!" The old family finally burst into tears.

"Ahh East Factory! Xiang Yu was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground, as if his strength had been drained.
