Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 15 Joining the traitor organization
Wang Daoqiu was thinking about the seriously divergent evaluations of Yan Song by future generations.Yan Xuezheng was there with a look of enjoyment on his face, reminiscing about his past studies when he was young.

After talking a lot, Yan Xuezheng finally focused on the purpose of his chat with Wang Daoqiu today. He said: "Mr. Jie Yuangong! I have read your papers for this provincial examination. To be honest, after reading them, I was I love your talent so much! Xie Yuangong, you are talented and intelligent, you are a piece of rough jade, if you have a good teacher to teach you, you will become a great tool in the future!"

"My mentor was Mr. Yan Ge, who was the second assistant in the dynasty. In the 18th year of Hongzhi's reign, he taught us the No. 2 Jinshi Scholarship in his hometown for ten years. He also took charge of the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College. He has been teaching and educating people for decades. It can be said that The world is full of peaches and plums. Mr. Xie Yuangong, I wonder if you are interested in becoming a disciple of Yan and becoming a disciple? If Mr. Xie Yuangong is willing to write a discipleship letter, Yan is willing to write a letter of recommendation for Mr. Xie Yuangong. I wonder if Mr. Xie Yuan How about the general will?”

The discipleship invitation is also commonly known as the apprenticeship invitation, which in ancient times was similar to a spiritual contract of betrayal.Because the ancients paid attention to being a teacher for one day and being a father for life.

According to the rules of feudal officialdom, once a person submits this disciple post to the boss, it is similar to submitting an application to join Xiaoshantou.Therefore, in the student posts in the official circles in ancient times, not only should the disciple so-and-so wish to worship so-and-so as his teacher, his birth date, hometown and address, but also his vow to be loyal to the teacher throughout his life and never betray him.

Therefore, in the feudal officialdom, if the younger brother handed the disciple's post to the older brother, it was equivalent to writing a letter of allegiance to the older brother.He said that he would join the big boss's gang from now on and work for the big boss all his life.

And this evidence is very powerful. If you dare to betray the boss you voted for in the future, and the boss publishes your protégé post, then you will be finished.After all, no political boss would accept a disciple who betrayed his discipleship, and would also suppress him as much as possible.This is to give his younger brother a warning about the consequences of betraying the disciple post.

So now Yan Xuezheng asked Wang Daoqiu to write a discipleship letter to his mentor Yan Song, which is to attract Wang Daoqiu to join Yan Song's small gang, and asked Wang Daoqiu to write a contract of betrayal to their Yan Party.

The officialdom has been a world since ancient times. The organizational form of the boss and his subordinates is actually no different from the underworld gang. It is just a bit more respectable as people say.

The officialdom is dangerous, and the struggles there are much more brutal than those women in palace dramas.Therefore, in this environment, the big bosses need a group of juniors to provide support and support them.And the younger brother in the officialdom also needs to find a boss for himself, so that the boss can pull him up step by step.

As a result, a group of officials who were extremely obsessed with power naturally formed small gangs in their pursuit of power, serving as each other's party members and using collective strength to safeguard their own interests and rob political resources.

Just like Yan Xuezheng now mobilizes Wang Daoqiu to join the gang, this situation belongs to gang members. Among the state reserve cadres who have not yet joined the officialdom, they have discovered potential stocks that may have a bright future and can contribute to the small gang.They make appointments with their disciples in advance and draw them into their own small group.

This intention is similar to later generations of venture capital.That means that we use the power of the small group to help you enter the official career and recommend you to progress.And once you climb up in the future, you will use the power in your hand to reward the small gang for their collective efforts and help other members of the gang to improve.

In order to get along well in the Ming Dynasty in this life, Wang Daoqiu also read a lot of books in the library about the history of the Ming Dynasty and the analysis of various social phenomena of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.Therefore, Wang Daoqiu also knew about the political behavior of Ming Dynasty's disciples and the shady behind it.

Moreover, Wang Daoqiu also knew that Yan Song was at a low point in his life. Although he was nominally the second minister of the dynasty, in front of Xia Yan, a powerful chief minister who never regarded others as human beings, Yan Song, the second assistant, is almost like Xia Yan's slave.Xia Yan always spoke to him like a master ordering his servants, but Yan Song faced Xia Yan's behavior of throwing his self-esteem to the ground and trampling it in front of everyone.I can only resign myself with a respectful and submissive smile. After all, I can't do it for others, and I can't bear to part with my current position as the second assistant?It can be said that Yan Song's current life is a hard life.

However, Wang Daoqiu knew that Yan Song's hard days were the last darkness before dawn.It is now the end of the eighth lunar month of the 25th year of Jiajing, and it is the Spring Festival of the 27th year of Jiajing, which is sixteen months from now.During the Spring Festival of the 27th year of Jiajing's reign, Xia Yan was still the head of a hundred officials and the chief and assistant minister of the cabinet, who was so powerful that he treated his colleagues like dogs.After the Spring Festival, he will become a prisoner in prison, like a dog.

At the same time, before the Spring Festival, Yan Song was just a slave who could only follow Xia Yan grovelingly and be treated like a dog.After the Spring Festival, he took the position of chief minister of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet. From then on, under one person and above tens of thousands of people, he could stand upright and show that noble smile on his face, allowing all living beings to look up to him.

Yan Song is now in the trough of his life, but it is a good time to buy the bottom, and until the 41st year of Jiajing, Yan Song was the most trusted minister of the cabinet of Emperor Jiajing, and joining him can make him quickly promoted.

In addition, according to Ming history records, Yan Song was a very particular person.Even when he was in a high and powerful position, he was never arrogant and treated others like dogs. On the outside, he was amiable to everyone.As soon as people interact with him, they will naturally feel a sense of intimacy and feel very comfortable.

Joining Yan Song's gang will have a bright future in the next ten years, and Yan Song is kind to his subordinates, and he is never coquettish. Such a boss is worth following!As for Yan Dang's disgraceful identity in history, and Yan Song's resignation after more than ten years?Wang Daoqiu had his own ideas. Problems were always solved step by step. Life was short, so it would be good if he could guarantee his future for more than ten years.After all, life, how many decades can it last?
Wanting to understand this, facing Yan Xuezheng's recruitment, Wang Daoqiu pretended not to know Yan Song's current embarrassing situation, and asked with sincerity and fear: "The student is just a scholar who has just passed the provincial examination, but Master Yan is the second assistant of the dynasty. .Master Academic Affairs, are students qualified to be disciples of Master Jifu?"

"Hahahaha, Mr. Xie Yuan is worrying too much! Teacher Xie doesn't ask about his identity, besides, there is a recommendation from this official. If Mr. Xie Yuan is interested, how about going to the study with this official?"

"Then there will be Master Lao Xuezheng."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I invite you, Mr. Jie Yuan."

In this way, Wang Daoqiu was supported by Yan Xuezheng and went to Yan's study room, where he wrote a student note for Yan Song, signed and stamped with his fingerprints.Then Yan Xuezheng happily accepted Wang Daoqiu's discipleship post, and wrote a letter of recommendation for Wang Daoqiu to Yan Song in front of Wang Daoqiu.

After that, Yan Xuezheng enthusiastically no longer called Wang Daoqiu "Jie Yuangong", but changed his name to "Liangzhen".He also said that from now on in private, Wang Daoqiu no longer needs to address him by his official title, but can call him "senior" or "senior brother".

After finishing writing the student posts, Yan Xuezheng held Wang Daoqiu in the study, and they talked for a while.Don't make it public to the public for the time being.

After talking about some specific precautions for joining the gang, Yan Xuezheng sent Wang Daoqiu back to the living room of the Yan family, and then called the fat man Jiang Zhijian and asked him to help Wang Daoqiu back.
