Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 350 Characters
In the courtyard of Zhen Fu Shi, several rows of tables are set up, each table is equipped with a stool.Tea, a new scroll, a pen, and an inkstone were placed on the table.There is a nameplate on the left corner of each table.

Xie Linong looked at the nameplate, and said to Cao Zhiyan: "It's a joke, it's our name written on it. It seems that the arrangements have been made for whoever sits where."

With that said, several people went to find their seats.The first row is several prefects, a total of seven people.According to court practice, Wang Xiaolie also knew Xiangyang Mansion, so there was an empty table in the middle.

Everyone sit down.Some people check the pens and inkstones, some people try the tea, some people talk, and there is chaos for a while.

Not long after, Chen Yuyi came to a stage in front of everyone.Said: "You must have heard that for the officials under the rule, the Zhenfu does not want to let it go, but wants to set some rules. There are two things today. One is that the Zhenfu envoy will set up a new office to supervise all officials. Another, The governor personally explained to you what kind of official you want, what kind of treatment you get, and what requirements you have."

As Chen Yuyi's voice became louder and louder, the place slowly quieted down.

Chen Yuyi looked at the present, and said in a deep voice: "I have little talent and little learning, and I am grateful to the town's caretaker to take up the position of supervisor temporarily. You'd better listen carefully today, and write down what should be written down. If you commit a crime in the future, don't complain!"

When it came to the last sentence, Chen Yuyi's voice was stern.When everyone saw it, they couldn't help being nervous.

Chen Yuyi was the first literati to follow Wang Xiaolie. He did many things and held many positions.It's just that the official position is not very important. Many people just know that there is such a person, and they are not familiar with it.I met you today, and it's not easy to talk to.

After seeing everyone's attitude, Chen Yuyi didn't say any more.Said: "The next town governor's lecture! You all listen carefully!"

All the officials stood up together and sang promises loudly.

Chen Yuyi stepped off the stage, and Wang Xiaolie came up.Pressing his hands slightly, he said, "Sit down. From now on, we will only talk about etiquette here, and don't have to be very strict. Also, words like admonishment should be used as little as possible unless it is especially necessary. Using this word means that it is extremely important. , we must deal with some people and stipulate some things. Today is not so serious, so you don’t have to be nervous.”

Seeing Wang Xiaolie smiling and looking kind, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.They all sat down.

Wang Xiaolie has been in Xiangyang for nearly two years, and has gradually formed his own habits.Outside the army, he didn't pay much attention to etiquette, and he was more easy-going in speech and actions, and everyone began to get used to it.If two years ago, Wang Xiaolie stood in front of the speech, who would dare to sit down?

Clearing his throat, Wang Xiao said: "The Jinlu came from the south, the imperial court is precarious, and there is a lot of pressure. This year, in the west of Beijing, Lianghu, and Lianghuai, imitating the Tang Dynasty's system of vassal towns, we set up emissaries. The emissaries At the same time as the local military and political power, the officials created themselves and no longer obeyed the imperial court in everything. I was ordered to be the governor of Xiangyang Dengzhou and other prefectures, and I governed many people. The responsibility is not small. The puppet dynasty, we are in the middle of Wanluo, and it is the thorn in the Jin Dynasty and the puppet Qi. If you don’t manage the place carefully, refine and strengthen the army, it will be difficult to gain a foothold. The rule of the emissary is naturally different from the rule of the court. Today I invite you to come, just to talk about it, what is the difference!"

After speaking, Wang Xiaolie picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and looked at the people below.

No one spoke, they all looked at Wang Xiaolie helplessly.

On the one hand, Chen Yuyi looked serious.After welcoming Wang Ruohai back that day, he had many conversations with Wang Xiaolie these days, and gradually understood Wang Xiaolie's responsibilities and accepted the new position.He knew in his heart the importance of his responsibility.To a certain extent, the post of supervisor set up by Wang Xiaolie is much more important than Zhongcheng, the royal censor of the imperial court.

Put down the teacup.Wang Xiaolie said: "As a government governing a region, we must first know where our power comes from. This issue is the most important issue for a regime. If this issue is not clarified, political affairs cannot be smooth. As a governor, I was appointed by the imperial court. The officials under my command, whether they are in the army or in various yamen, are all appointed by me. It seems simple and clear to say this, but in fact it is equivalent to no answer. No matter how difficult it is It is wrong to deliberately avoid the problem."

"Why did the imperial court appoint me as the Zhenfu envoy? After all, it was Yang Jin who invaded Ruzhou and was defeated by me. He turned his head and ran to Xiangyang. I followed Yang Jin and killed him on the bank of the Hanshui River. At that time, Xiangyang , Dengzhou and other places were destroyed by the Jin army a few months ago, the Jin army withdrew, and there were no officials in the place for a while. I led troops to station and temporarily appointed some officials to manage the place. I have a large army under me, and these places have already been occupied by me. It's not that I, Wang Xiaolie, have any special talents, which are valued by the court and appointed this official position."

"Appointing the governor, frankly speaking, the imperial court temporarily gave up these places and handed them over to us who have soldiers. The imperial court only has two requirements for the governor's rule. One is to enshrine the court as Zhengshuo , do not surrender to the Jinren and Puppet Qi. Another one is that the profit of salt and wine will be returned to the imperial court, but it will be handed over to the governor within two or three years. If this is the case, I can’t take the appointment of the imperial court and use a feather duster as a banner! I To be the governor, we must be clear about where the power of the governor comes from, and what to do with this official position!"

This is a question that has troubled Wang Xiaolie for a long time.As a warlord, besides the army, where does the power come from.You can't force others to obey you just because you have soldiers.I do not know how many such warlords have existed in history.Traveling through thousands of years to play such a role, Wang Xiaolie himself felt that he was too incompetent.

"This army started from Jinlu's siege of Kaifeng mansion. My father started from his hometown to serve the king. Kaifeng mansion has been destroyed, and my father died in battle. This army can't still say that it is Wang Tongpan's Qin Wang army. It must be another kind of army. Role. I first took charge of this army because I was the son of Wang Tongpan and happened to be in the army. Up to now, it can’t be because I am the son of Tongpan and happened to be in the army. We have to define this army, define What is this army going to do? I want to prove myself and prove that I can do these things well!"

After hearing this, the expressions of all the officials changed drastically.What Wang Xiaolie said is true, but this fact cannot be revealed.Wang Xiaolie should firmly grasp the military power, and use someone he can trust to firmly hold the power in his own hands.

Wang Xiaolie smiled and said: "When people live in this world, they often have an illusion. How great I am, how smart I am, how capable I am. There will still be some people who look at someone and say how great he is , how smart, how capable. To be honest, some people are born smarter, more capable, more beautiful than others, stronger than others, and all kinds of things. People are not exactly the same, and some people do this. It’s not unusual for someone to be better at something, and some people are better at doing other things. In this society, because you are good at doing these things, you have a higher status, more income, and more respect. But One society, or another. We shouldn’t have this illusion that when we become an official, we feel how great we are. When we become an official, we are all ordinary people, just more successful.”

"The world is like a stage. We are thrown onto this stage to play different roles. Some play the emperor, some play the prime minister, some play the general, and some play ordinary people, small soldiers. If we let go of our roles, We will still have our own emotions, our own loves and hatreds. Don’t let the role you play affect your emotions. Don’t feel that you are a Wenqu star descending from the sky just because you play a prime minister. I feel that I am a martial arts star. You are not!"

Having said that, Wang Xiaolie looked at everyone.Everyone's expression is different, each has its own wonderful.These people came from prefectures and counties, and some even walked for ten days, never thinking that they would say such words.

"I have said so much, just to tell you. No matter what kind of official you are, this official is just a role you play. You became this official because you wore the official's official uniform and got the official seal of this official. It's not that you are destined to be an extraordinary person, so you can become this official. You can't get a promotion, not because of bad luck, but because of bad acting. Whether you are promoted or demoted, it has nothing to do with your fate. Relationship, it's just that your ability to play the role is not enough."

It is not easy for Wang Xiaolie to understand this problem.Because the army belonged to his father, he became the leader himself.Is it because of my own fate, or is it just a coincidence?No matter how they know each other, many people can't let go of their uniqueness.

When reading history, people always say, if I were that character, what would happen.Subconsciously, I always feel that I am very smart, see clearly than others, and have a more reasonable response.Actually?
Actually we are neither smarter nor better coping.I have this status, if I want to do better, I have to deeply understand what this role should do, not what I want to do.With this power in your hands, what you should think about is what to do to be worthy of this power, not how to keep this power.Regardless of our status, we are actually just actors on the stage.It's not that you are smart, that your fate is good, that you are more capable, or that you work harder.

You are smart, you are capable, and you work hard, so you can better perform the role you play.That's all.

Let go of yourself before you can truly understand your role.But you can't really let go of yourself, otherwise there will only be a role left, and you will not be you.It is not so easy to have a clear understanding of yourself and understand the role.
