Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 1031 A visitor from Xiangyang

Putting down the official document in his hand, Wang Xiaolie said to Chen Yuyi: "This is what it will really look like after the temple is built. After the temple is built, it is related to all kinds of people. Everyone has their own ideas. How can it be the same? ? However, the article still contains the author's meaning and should be removed. The temple in the village of my hometown is originally for family members to commemorate. Of course, Father Meng's ideas should be followed. It is also a place of commemoration for the villagers, so it is lively or It’s deserted, seeing how the family and fellow villagers get along.”

Chen Yuyi said: "I understand."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Since you are an official, you must conscientiously grasp the official's responsibilities. I have said many times that officials are people playing a role. Every official has clear responsibilities, and he must do his best according to these responsibilities. Act as hard as you can. Don't lose yourself while acting and think that you are the official. When you are an official, you can't tell what an official is and what you are, and you completely lose yourself."

Chen Yuyi said: "I understand and will never do it again."

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "The department you lead is unprecedented, and I have not explained the responsibilities very clearly. You need to explore. In the process of exploring, you will inevitably make mistakes of this kind. This is not unusual, it is normal. , is inevitable in the process of groping. The most fearful thing is that you are obviously wrong, but you don’t know where you are wrong, or even stubbornly think that you are not wrong. When officials play a role, that is to say, what officials do or do not do has certain consequences. It is stipulated and constrained by clear rules. Even if you are dissatisfied with these regulations in your heart and feel that there is a better choice, you have to keep it in your stomach and not say it out. Or you can take off your official uniform and lose the constraints of rules before you can say it. . Wearing official uniforms is a kind of restriction. If you want to be free from restrictions, don't wear official uniforms."

Chen Yuyi exited, and Wang Xiaolie looked out the window, lost in thought for a while.

Chinese officials are born with divinity. The so-called emperor, since he is called the Son of Heaven, is not an ordinary person, but the incarnation of God in the human world. Prime ministers, generals, and ministers assist the emperor's divinity, not the emperor himself.

This concept became more obvious in the Song Dynasty.

After the five dynasties of chaos and the era of strong soldiers and horses, the people of the Song Dynasty felt deeply. The upper-class characters, such as Fan Zhongyan, said "only those who can influence the emperor are loyal", and the lower-class characters' indifferent attitude towards the emperor fully illustrate this point.

The Song Dynasty was a special dynasty. After the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, the constraints of the people on the people began to weaken, and politics became more enlightened. Starting from Emperor Shenzong, centralization of power began again. But there is one characteristic: the army is deteriorating day by day, and its external record, especially its record against its northern neighbors, is getting worse every time.

After the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty absorbed some of the ruling characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty, and its politics went in the opposite direction. The restraint of the people on the people has become tighter, and politics are no longer open-minded, and major cases often arise.

This trend is very conducive to Wang Xiaolie's promotion of his ideas.

Look at May, the weather is getting hotter day by day, and summer is slowly entering.

On the third day of May, an official from Xiangyang, named Wang Yuedao, suddenly came to visit Wang Xiaolie.

Wang Xiaolie looked at the famous assassin. He was just Cheng Feng Lang, the lowest civil servant, and he had no official position. I couldn't help but wonder why he came to find me with this identity. After looking at the three generations of his parents, it suddenly dawned on him that his father's name was Wang Jixian.

Wang Jixian was a native of Kaifeng. His eldest father became famous for his Black Tiger Pill, so he was called the Black Tiger Family. Wang Jixian was recruited to serve in the palace because of his superb medical skills. During the Jianyan period, Zhao Gou was frightened by Jin soldiers crossing the river in Jiankang and became impotent. Wang Jixian had just been good at treating this type of illness, so he was favored. Wang Jixian was good at courting flattery and gained more and more favor from Zhao Gou. In the past year or two, I have almost reached the point where I can't say anything.

As an imperial doctor, everyone called Wang Jixian "Doctor Wang", and no official dared to disobey him.

After putting down his famous assassin, Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and ordered his soldiers to bring the person in.

After a while, Wang Xiaolie saw a young man under twenty, wearing a green robe, walking in with dignity.

When he arrived in front of Wang Xiaolie, he bowed slightly and said, "I studied Wang Yuetao and met Xuanfu Xianggong."

After looking Wang Yuedao up and down, Wang Xiaolie said, "Wang Chengfeng, I don't know what you are here for?" Wang Yuedao said, "I heard that Xuanfu opened a gambling town near Luoyang. It was very prosperous. Before his death, Come and pay your respects. Please make it a convenience."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "The gambling city was originally opened to facilitate those who like to gamble. No matter how prosperous it is, it has nothing to do with the secular world. If you want to visit, where can you start? The gambling city originally prohibited officials from entering. , I’m afraid it’s inconvenient for me to wear official uniform.”

Wang Yuedao was stunned for a moment and said, "Then I won't wear official uniform."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Whether you wear official uniform or not, it is your status as an official. According to the law, you should enter the gambling city."

Wang Yuedao laughed after hearing this: "Whether I am an official or not, whether I can enter the casino or not, is not a matter of Xuan Fu's words? Who dares not to listen!"

Wang Xiaolie looked at Wang Yuedao with a caring expression on his face and said, "You are not an official. You can enter the gambling city by taking off your official uniform."

Wang Yuedao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Xuanfu."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and strode out of the official hall.

Wang Xiaolie looked at Wang Yuedao and sighed: "I heard that Wang Jixian was very domineering towards officials, and so was his son. According to my temper, this son should be caught and chopped into pieces. But his father is deeply trusted by the emperor. , I can only tolerate him for the time being."

Wang Yue came out of Xuanfu Division, smiled contemptuously, took his family, and waddled forward to find an inn.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaolie said: "With such a person here, we can't underestimate him. We should find someone to accompany him to avoid anything happening."

He turned to the soldiers and said, "Go and find the king. Dare you come."

Zhang Jun went to the northwest and took Wang Gan as a personal soldier. However, Wang Gan's temper was really not suitable for being in the military camp, so he finally returned to Luoyang. Currently, he is regarded as Wang Xiaolie's personal soldier, living day by day. There is no king who dares not to be able to play various kinds of instruments, such as playing, playing, singing, cuju and singing. At critical moments, he takes decisive action and is a ruthless character. He is a suitable candidate to accompany Wang Yuedao.

After a while, Wang DaGang arrived and saluted in front of Wang Xiaolie.

Wang Xiaolie said: "A man came from the imperial court, named Wang Yuedao. This Wang Yuedao is not much, but he has a good father, Dr. Wang in the court. Wang Yuedao came to Luoyang, saying he wanted to see the prosperity of our gambling city. You accompany him Let's go and report anything as soon as possible."

The king dared to say so. Then he asked: "If something goes wrong with Wang Yuedao, what should I do?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "If anything goes out of the ordinary, you first capture Wang Yuedao, and then come to the Xuanfu Division to take orders."
