Wentang

Chapter 426

Yue Shan looked up, and when he saw clearly who it was, he also showed a joyful expression, and said, "Brother Yuanyu, Brother Guangnian."

It was Yuchi Baolin and Zhao Guangnian, the head of the Ministry of War, who called him upstairs, so he hurried upstairs to find them.

After seeing the ceremony, Yue Shan asked, "Brother Yuan Yu, why did you return to Beijing? Why didn't you come to find me?"

"I just entered Beijing yesterday, and I went to look for you today. The people in the house said that you have entered the palace, so I asked Brother Guangnian to come out to talk about the past." Yuchi Baolin said happily: "I didn't expect to meet you here, which means that our brothers It's fate."

"Haha... It is indeed destined. Brother Yuanyu, you have become much stronger after a long absence." Yue Shan sized him up and said.

"Don't patronize the politeness, come and sit down and talk." At this moment, Zhao Guangnian said from the side.

"Yes, yes, brother Guangnian is right, Cui Lan, sit down quickly." Yuchi Baolin finally came to her senses and said hastily.

Only then did Yue Shan come to their table and sit down.This restaurant is not a well-known place, but a very common restaurant on the street, because it is not a restaurant and there are not many people.

Apart from their table on the second floor, there were only two people chatting at a table on the other side.So it doesn't affect the speech.And this seat happens to be by the window, so you can enjoy the scenery outside, which is not bad.

After sitting down, Yuchi Baolin said: "I'm a rough person, and I do rough work. I can't compare to you, Cuilan. You showed your strengths in Dizhou, and after you returned to Beijing, you wrote a book. I really envy others."

Zhao Guangnian also praised: "I have always known that Yuehou is brilliant, but "The Analects of Confucius" really shocked me. But it is also an honor to witness the birth of a generation of Wenzong."

"Wen Zong doesn't dare to be a great Confucian, but he is still barely competent." Yue Shan said complacently.He has the right to be proud of leading the literary world for hundreds of years.

"Heh..." Zhao Guangnian and the two shook their heads and laughed, this one is really not humble.But I also know that Yue Shan does not treat them as outsiders, otherwise he would never be so 'rampant'.

Afterwards, the three of them began to talk about their experiences in the past two years, mainly Yuchi Baolin and Yue Shan, while Zhao Guangnian listened.

The more I listened to Zhao Guangnian, the more depressed he became. I saw him pouring down a glass of wine, and said sadly: "Brother Yuan Yu has been away from Beijing for two years, thinking that he will be the captain of Zhechong, let alone Yue Hou. Only me. , I have been wasting my life for the past few years, it is really embarrassing."

Hearing this, Yue Shan and Yuchi Baolin glanced at each other, showing embarrassing expressions.What I said just now was too excited, ignoring Zhao Guangnian's feelings.

This guy has been in the position of head of the Ministry of War for four or five years. Speaking of which, it is very rare to be able to sit in this position for such a long time.

But it depends on who you compare with. Compared with ordinary people, it is good. Compared with Yue Shan and Yuchi Baolin, it is indeed a bit shocking.

Without background, ability can not be said to be outstanding, it is too difficult to climb up.As for taking the initiative to apply for a local job...he didn't have the courage either.

Being the chief of the Ministry of War can be regarded as a first-class job for central officials, and once you leave, there is basically no chance of coming back.It really takes a lot of courage to let him give up this fat job and go to a local office.

Of course, the main reason is that he knows his abilities and shortcomings, and he is quite satisfied with the status quo.

Occasionally, I have the idea of ​​doing a big business across the world, but I just enjoy it, and I have never prepared to actually implement it.

However, everything is afraid of comparison. Today, when Yue Shan and Yuchi Baolin talked about their wonderful experiences and life ideals, he suddenly felt that the food in his hand suddenly didn't taste good.

In the past, Yue Shan only regarded Zhao Guangnian as a gentleman's friend, and seeing that he enjoys the stable life now, he had no intention of dragging him into the quagmire.

I can indeed give him a chance to climb online, but correspondingly, he will lose his current stable life forever.Maybe people like such an ordinary day.

But since he suddenly complained that the current life is not good enough, Yue Shan immediately changed his mind and said: "Everything has gains and losses. Your current life is something that many people can't envy. You must give it up and fight for it." Unseen future?"

Zhao Guangnian opened his mouth to say something like wanting to give it a go, but he opened and closed his mouth a few times and finally didn't make any sound.

Yue Shan shook his head secretly, his edges and corners had been basically smoothed, and he really lacked some courage.Going out in this state is probably going to accomplish nothing.

Yuchi Baolin anxiously patted the table on the side: "Brother Guangnian, what are you doing like a mother-in-law? I, a rough man, can see it. In Beijing, you will be like this for the rest of your life, and you have no chance to climb up."

"Although you are living a very stable life now, don't forget that the people above will not allow you to work in this position for ten or eight years. Sooner or later, you will be transferred away. What will you do then? ? Going out is your only chance."

"Now that you are in charge of the Ministry of War, if you offer to leave those people, you must be honored. A Shangzhou Sima can't escape. But when those people take action to drive you away, everything will be hard to say."

Yue Shan nodded secretly. Yuchi Baolin's words were not rough, and without background and outstanding ability, it was basically impossible to stay in such a key position as the head of the military department for a long time.

Now that he has taken the initiative to apply for a transfer, the Ministry of Officials will also consider the issue of decency, and will definitely give him a good job.

And when those people with background want to take this position to push people away, it is no longer a question of decency, but a question of whether they can get away with it.

To put it bluntly, no one is clean in such a position, as long as you are willing to check, you can't escape.It is not impossible to let him in directly when encountering a more ruthless opponent.

So the really smart thing to do is to take this opportunity to get to know more people, and then find a better job to stay away from this place of right and wrong.

Of course, if Zhao Guangnian is willing to seek refuge with a certain dignitary, it may be a way out.But this way...sometimes it's better to let it out.

This truth is actually not complicated, and the reason why Zhao Guangnian can't see through it is just that the authorities are delusional.He thought that he was an official with his own duties, and he would be safe and sound if he didn't fight with others.

Little do they know that for many people it is a sin in itself for you to sit in this position.

Yue Shan wasn't going to force him to persuade him, he couldn't figure out this kind of thing, and it was useless what others said.Even if he left Beijing under his own persuasion, once he encounters some setbacks, he will definitely turn around and blame himself.

Of course, Yue Shan still hoped that he could figure it out.He doesn't know many people, and he cherishes everyone.

Zhao Guangnian's eyes flickered, he was struggling violently deep in his heart, and finally turned into a wry smile and said: "This matter is too important, I need to think carefully about it."
