Chapter 799
In February, spring in the south of the Yangtze River has arrived. The weather has become warmer and the trees have turned green. It has shown a bright and prosperous appearance. Since Zhao Bing arrived, it has been raining all day long and has grown hair in the house. Today, the clouds and fog have cleared, he can finally come out to breathe. Liu Zhixue knew that the little emperor did not like to live in the government office, so he chose a manor by the river. It is said that it was built by Zhang Xiaoxiang, the top scholar in the past. It has been changed over a hundred years and remains intact, but it has a little more simplicity and vicissitudes.
These days were the most comfortable days for Zhao Bing since the Northern Expedition. The war was basically over. Because he was "ill" and he was temporarily dealt with by the two prime ministers, he did not have to deal with the cumbersome documents every day. After turning around, he found a pavilion by the water to rest. Wang De immediately commanded a group of small yellow gatekeepers to hang curtains around, set up tables, soft couches and things, and lit fires to cook tea.
"Official family, these are the greetings and gift lists presented by various prefectures and counties yesterday!" Zhao Bing sat for a while, and Wang De sent a stack of papers.
"Oh, this is pretty good. I can still get a gift for pretending to be sick!" Zhao Bing smiled and looked around. He didn't care what he gave, just wanted to see who was thinking of him.
"Officials, most of the sentiments and medicinal materials from all over the country are tonics and medicinal materials. If there are many, we can open a pharmacy here!" Wang De said with a sad face after regaining the lost land. Since most of the appointed officials were from Qiongzhou, they lived together in such a small place for many years, so they all knew the temper of the young emperor. They knew that they did not like the officials who tried their best to give gifts, and did not ask the local specialties to increase the burden on the people. So this time, he heard that the young emperor finally got sick, so he sent local treasures and precious medicinal materials to show his filial piety.
"Haha, there are also medicines delivered indiscriminately!" Zhao Bing responded with a smile.
"They don't care about this, they just want to please the officials!" Wang Deyan said.
"You are still a confused insect!" Zhao Bing looked at Wang De and smiled.
"Officials, is the young man wrong?" Wang De said inexplicably and inexplicably.
"It's not all wrong. Just accept all the things you sent and tell the visitor what they want." Zhao Bing did not explain much. He knew that officials with a little bit of intelligence would find that the atmosphere in the court was different, and it was not normal for the emperor to delay the situation for a long time and did not return to Beijing. He realized that it was time to take the team again, so it was fake to deliver things, and it was true that his attitude was true.
Zhao Bing has been struggling in the whirlpool of power for so many years and has realized that in addition to the glorious official history, there are also hidden rules, which are often called historical dark lines. Even when singing and dancing are prosperous and prosperous, power will prosper due to the struggle for power. Moreover, although the current dynasty returns to Jiangnan and is still in Lin'an, it is actually tantamount to re-founding the country. However, after experiencing the destruction of the country, the monarch and ministers who have already had a strong sense of crisis in the era of serious real crisis. Some people not only realize that this is not only the time to reward merits, but also the day to settle accounts after autumn, so they feel the crisis.
If we carefully sort out the rise of countries in the past dynasties along the logic of historical development, we can see that this time is also a time for many capable people to emerge. Examples like Sun Bin who used wisdom to encourage Qi and eventually pulled Wei from the throne of hegemony and replaced Qi. The most famous of them is that Zhuge Liang, in the Three Kingdoms period, helped Liu Bei break up the land and be the king, and divided the world three times, which not only changed Liu Bei's destiny, but also rewritten the history of China.
However, from the historical development context, Zhao Bing also found that a person's rise is not so easy. Zhuge Liang had a secret fight with Pang Tong before Zhou Yu and later was excluded by many elderly people around Liu Bei, but everyone understands the final outcome. This shows that a truly wise person can use his wisdom correctly and flexibly control the people and things around him to operate in the pattern he needs. And true wisdom and planning are not only crucial to the fate of the individual, but also to the fate of the group, and even to the fate of the country.
The ancients once said: One person is enough to prosper the country, and the other person is enough to lose the country. Zhao Bing did not dare to claim to be a person like Sun Bin and Zhuge Liang, but the government and the people evaluated him as "just Zhuge is so wise and close to monsters", which shows that they still agree with him. However, after some investigation, he found that if the prince of Yiyang was not a wise man or a fool, he would be an extremely mediocre person.
Although Zhao Mengqi was also a noble man, it was reported that his father had almost given up his fifth service in his generation, so he had lost his title. He only had a Fenglang, a seventh-rank position, and had never done a real position. The little money subsidized by the royal family was not enough to support his life. Lin'an's living consumption was high, and their family moved to Huzhou, which had low consumption, and used their last family's funds to buy some land and barely survived by renting it.
At this time, the family life was still well-off, and the children in the family could learn to read. But a few years later, his parents left, and the subsidies for the royal family were over. After the brothers analyzed the birth of their children, Zhao Mengqi also divided several acres of land, and it was not enough to live by renting them. However, he was not very smart and could not even make the provincial examination. He could not live a minor official like other brothers; it was even more impossible to do business. If he lost half of the land, he would be considered to be a hole.
In this way, Zhao Mengqi had to farm himself and live a pastoral life. However, it was difficult to maintain a living by pointing out these acres of land, so he had to work part-time in the river to catch fish and shrimp to subsidize the family income. His life was inevitable and he could not even add a new piece of clothing throughout the year. However, he was also considered a fool and had a blessing. Under the pressure of the Mongolian Yuan, Empress Dowager Xie followed the ministers to rehabilitate Zhao Rong, but after he had already died, he had to choose his heir to worship him.
How could Empress Dowager Xie be so smart that he could cause trouble for himself to avoid finding a new competitor for his descendants, so he must find an "honest". So he selected the "simple" Zhao Mengqi among the many candidates, and appointed him as the Prince of Yiyang, gave him a mansion, and rewarded gold, silver and wealth. But just when he thought a good day was coming, the army of the Yuan Dynasty was at the city within a few days, and the princes and ministers began to flee.
Zhao Mengqi was not stupid in saving his life. The distribution situation was wrong. He led his family to flee with makeup and returned to Huzhou. I don’t know if it was because of the chaos that Zhongzong Zhengshi forgot to enter it into the genealogy or the record was wrong, but he actually avoided Boyan’s search for the map, avoided the fate of accompanying the empress dowager and the emperor to hunt north, and lived his true life again.
Although Zhao Mengqi was not on the list in the Mengyuan, this experience made him a frightened bird. The little property he hid everywhere was soon lost and could only survive by farming for others. The family lived a half-hungry and half-full life. The son could not marry his daughter, and the daughter could not get married, and he dared not say much if he was bullied. It can be said that it was so desolate and desolate.
After Jiangnan recovered, when someone came to search for him, Zhao Mengqi was still frightened and did not dare to admit it. He was forced to send him to Lin'an and found out that the good days were coming again. However, he learned this time that he had learned the experience and spent money quickly. The delicious food was never night. He listened to everything others said, worried that the good days might disappear one day. And their family had never experienced any wealthy life, so it was impossible not to have any jokes. It was like licking plates in public, drinking mouthwash, and wiping their butts.
In this way, Zhao Mengqi is still lucky. Although he has suffered a little hardship and has come back. Zhao Bing knew in his previous life that a person’s success requires some luck, but he cannot seek the gift of fate, because luck is hard to come by. Talent and instinct cannot be used as a support. He knows that emotional things are unstable after all, and sometimes they are unreliable.
Success must rely on reason, wisdom, through rational analysis, serious thinking, deeply explore the internal laws and connections of things, accurately grasp the individual, society, and the world. Only in this way can we truly experience fewer failures in life and achieve more success. In the same successful politician, learning and rational thinking are very critical in his growth process. It is a necessary lesson to grasp the people and things around him through wisdom and control the things around him. And it must be practiced repeatedly and through thousands of times of success and failure to cultivate a keen feeling.
This is a very important feeling. Only with this feeling can you have the subconsciousness of strategy, that is, the subconsciousness, so that you can quickly grasp the key points and crux of things without having to think repeatedly and try your best. With this feeling, you can subconsciously correctly reflect the development trend of things when encountering anything, and you can flexibly set strategies and adapt to changes according to the development of things, so that you can gain a favorable position in competition, just like God's help, according to the development of things, and make yourself flexible in setting strategies and adapt to changes.
"Oh, I've been blown a little too much, I feel numb!" Zhao Bing said embarrassedly after taking the Imperial Daily. Thinking about how he wanted to be an opponent with such a thing, it would really ruin his reputation for being a hero. If he was allowed to usurp the throne successfully, he would be ashamed to death before he could kill himself.
"The official family is far from reading newspapers with small people. If the young people are allowed to write..." Wang De said with a smile.
"You must not write it, and you must not disclose a word about me, including everyone in the inner palace. If something goes wrong, I will peel you off first!" Zhao Bing interrupted without waiting for it.
"Don't worry, the officials are still understanding these rules. Yesterday someone wanted to inquire about the news from a small yellow sect, but I was severely punished!" Wang De answered quickly.
"Well, it's a good job." Zhao Bing nodded and said, "It's an extraordinary time. We must take strict precautions, especially those in the backyard who have to replace them with elderly people. They have to buy everything they eat and use, and don't let someone give them away."
"Official family, what happened?" Wang De initially thought that the little emperor was lazy, so he pretended to be sick and refused to return to Lin'an. He heard what His Majesty said so seriously that he realized that the matter was serious.
"Someone wants to harm me!" Zhao Bing asked Wang De to come over and whisper.
"What..." Wang De was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but raise his voice, but soon realized that it was inappropriate and lowered his voice, "Someone dares to harm the official family, he doesn't want to live anymore!"
"It is under investigation now and it is not clear yet, so I can only avoid it here first." Zhao Bing shook his head and said.
"Is it the Tartars, or..." Wang De asked again.
"Inner thief!" Zhao Bing said softly.
"It's really hard to guard against the thief. The little one will be careful. If you find out, let the little one cut him down with his own hands!" Wang De said viciously after hearing this.
"By the way, I'm asking you something. Who else in the palace knows the Prince of Yiyang now?" Zhao Bing suddenly remembered something and asked Wang Dedao.
"The Prince of Yiyang, there are not many people I have seen." Wang De didn't know why His Majesty suddenly asked about this person, and recalled for a moment, "I was still in the empress dowager's harem at that time. I remember that the matter was in a hurry at that time. The Queen of Yiyang County was enthroned and only ordered him to thank Empress Xie Tian and Emperor Deyou in the inner palace. He asked him to go back without giving him a banquet. I just looked at him from a distance and didn't see his appearance clearly."
"A few of the people who escorted the Queen Mother and His Majesty out of the palace were from Cining Palace. Later, they died on the way to escape and scattered. Only Dou Xing was alive, and perhaps he was the only one who had seen him. The rest of the palace people were said to have moved north with Emperor Deyou and Empress Xie."
"Well, check it out in detail and find out if anyone has seen the Prince of Yiyang. You should be quietly not to speak out!" Zhao Bing told him again.
"Yes, the younger one must do this!" Wang De nodded vigorously.
"Is it possible that the Empress Dowager has seen him?" Zhao Bing asked worriedly again.
"The Empress Dowager was far away from Cining Palace at that time, so she probably had never seen her before." Wang De thought for sure.
"Then Dou Xing has only seen the prince of Yiyang in the palace. I remember that he is nearly 60 years old!" Zhao Bing said again.
"Well, he is already 60 years old, it's time to go home to retire!" Wang De realized something when he heard the young emperor mention the prince of Yiyang several times.
"If you have the chance, you can tell him that some things are said and some cannot be said. If you do the right thing, I will let him spend his old age in peace." Zhao Bing said that although Dou Xing is still in Qiongzhou, he must not be careful and block the loopholes that can be blocked first.
"I understand, I will definitely pass on the official's meaning to him!" Wang De had been by the little emperor for a long time, and could understand something without having to make it clear. He understood that the Prince of Yiyang offended His Majesty and immediately polite.
