One by one, another village is dark and bright

Seeing that Wang Kaiyun and the old man said that Rong Qing was a little troubled, Sun Yuanqi was a little confused: "Old Ren, I have no grudges with Rong Shangshu in the past, and I have no grudges recently - Oh, right, because I have drafted the school charter for Lord Zhang, and there is a bit of conflict with him. However, this is not the hatred of killing his father or the hatred of taking his wife. The Prime Minister Rong Shangshu can hold a boat in his stomach, so he won't embarrass me when he meets me, right? Besides, he is a dignified Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, why bother with a little sesame seed like me?"

Wang Kaiyun shook his head slightly: "The lecturer is not a little sesame seed!"

Then he said, "Baixi, you think things too simple. There is no love for no reason in this world, but there is hatred for no reason. As long as there is a reason, the hatred will grow bigger and bigger, and even never die. Ding Wei of the Song Dynasty was originally a subordinate of Kou Zhun. Later, he became the chief minister of the government affairs and respected Kou Zhun the most. Just because he had a meal, Ding Wei saw that Kou Zhun accidentally got the soup on his beard, so he took the initiative to wipe it. Kou Zhun smiled and said, "Since the government is an important official, how can he wipe the beard for the chief at will?" Just this sentence annoyed Ding Wei. After Ding Wei became prime minister, he repeatedly excluded Kou Zhun. All officials with good relationships with Kou Zhun were demoted from the capital. In the end, Kou Zhun was demoted to Leizhou to serve as a military servant. What a great hatred they had?"

Sun Yuanqi thought to himself: It seems that after the power is greater, his mind becomes smaller. Any inconspicuous mistake can cause a storm-like blow, and any shining point can be rewarded for the title of official position. Is power magnifying people's joys, anger, sorrow, or power distorting people's values?

Seeing that Sun Yuanqi did not speak, Wang Yun said, "Besides you have worked under Zhang Qiu and have disagreements with him in politics, I'm afraid he has many prejudices against you!"

"Oh?" Sun Yuanqi couldn't remember when he had provoked this Shangshu Rong.

Wang Kaiyun stretched out his thin palm and bent his thumb first: "First of all, the Secretary of Rong is from the Huangqin of ***, and you are from the Han people in Southern Zhili. This is a prejudice.

"During Shunzhi, Kangxi and Yongzheng periods, there were heroes of Manchu and Mongolian bannermen who established the Central Plains, wiped out bandits, pacified the Three Feudalists, and made great achievements in conquering Zhungeer. Naturally, they looked down on the southern Han people who were good at writing and writing. At that time, the territory between the flags and Han people was already clear.

"With the advent of the Kangxi and Qianlong eras, those bannermen who were accustomed to riding and shooting gradually became addicted to comfort, lost interest in dancing swords and sticks, and looked down on Ziyue Shiyun. After a while, one generation was worse than the other. By Jiaqing and Daoguang periods, whenever there was a war, the bannermen would lead the army, and most of them would make contributions to Han generals. When rewarded, they valued the bannermen and looked down on the Han people. Therefore, the Han people gradually looked down on the stupid bannermen, and the territory of the flag and Han people became more obvious.

"Since the Tongzhi period, the internal silence of the chaos, the external silence of the British, the French, and the daily barbarians, and the number of good generals and ministers who made contributions, such as Lin Wenzhong Duke Zexu, Hu Wenzhong Duke Lin Yi, Zeng Wenzheng Duke Guofan, Zuo Wenxiang Duke Zongtang, Li Wenzhong Duke Hongzhang, etc., were all Han people; and the incompetent officials such as Mu Zhanga and Qishan, were all bannermen.

"According to the situation at that time, the court should follow the trend, break the limits of the banner and Han, and turn the world into a family. If so, the Purge would clean up old customs and revive the decline, and the revival would be successful. Who would have thought that the Han people would make contributions outside, and in order to check and balance and restraint, the palace would promote the Manchu and Mongolian Banners in the court. In this way, the banner and Han were already like water and fire. Do you think that the Secretary of the Eight Banners of Mongolia would break the territory and have no prejudice against you?"

"Then, can I not go to see him?" Sun Yuanqi wanted to be a turtle again.

Like the old man, Wang Kaiyun firmly disagreed with Sun Yuanqi's idea: "No! Absolutely not! When Secretary Rong was appointed as the Minister of Management, he was simply in the heart of the emperor. He quickly transferred to the Minister of Rites and studied in the Military Affairs Office. In the dispute over whether to be constitutionalized last year, he followed the intention of the Empress Dowager, and believed that the time for constitutionalization was not yet ripe, so he needed to make a long-term plan and draft an imperial edict according to the order. This shows that he was deeply favored. Now he is the Minister of Revenue and the Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. He will definitely serve as the co-organizer of the Grand Secretary in the past one or two years. How can you not go to see him?

"And he was born in the ninth year of Xianfeng (1859). Now he is only forty-seven. As long as there are no mistakes, he must stay in the center for at least twenty years. If you offend him for this matter, the constraints will inevitably occur one after another. At that time, it will be too late to regret it!"

Sun Yuanqi was a little depressed: "What should I do? I will deliver it to him and let him humiliate him?"

Wang Kaiyun tried to persuade him, "This matter is not difficult to solve!"

"Oh?" Sun Yuanqi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed to ask for advice, "Old Ren, please give me some advice!"

Wang Kaiyun was not humble either: "Shu Rong's career was a long time, and it only began to turn around after he became the Shandong academician in the 25th year of Guangxu (1899), and then he rose to the top. I heard that the key here was that he met the then Shandong Governor Yuan Xiangcheng Gongbao during this period, and was appreciated by Yuan Gongbao. Through Yuan Gongbao, Shangshu Rong met more prominent and important people, and thus gained support and began his journey of progress."

Sun Yuanqi was a little puzzled: Why did Yuan Datou suddenly betray him? Do you want me to go to his pier?

"Yuan Gongbao is currently the governor of Zhili. His yamen is in Baoding. If he has something to do in the court, he often goes to Beijing every few places." Wang Kaiyun said slowly, "Although Rong Shangshu is prominent now, he does not forget his old kindness. Therefore, every time Yuan Gongbao comes to Beijing, he will definitely invite him to sit in his family and treat him warmly."

Sun Yuanqi seemed to have heard something.

Wang Kaiyun said again: "It is said that Yuan Gongbao is also very fond of Principal Baixi, and he only regrets that he has not seen him at first!"

Sun Yuan stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Kaiyun: "Thank you, Mr. Ren, for your advice!"

Wang Kaiyun also stood up: "Principal Baixi, you are polite! By the way, you are new to the officialdom, and you are afraid you are not very familiar with some etiquette, especially between the Hanlin Academy, right? Please sit down, I will talk to you for a moment!"

The Hanlin Academy has its own set of rules of the game? Sun Yuanqi couldn't help but be curious.

Wang Kaiyun said: "The names of the pilgrimages used in the officialdom are only the size of copper coins. This is a convention. Only the officials of your Hanlin Academy are a bit special. They use big characters to name them, and their names almost cover the entire piece of paper." As he said that, he brought a pilgrimage from the side and demonstrated them on the spot for Sun Yuanqi to see.

"If you don't understand this rule, you will make a joke!" As he said that, Wang Kaiyun handed the written greeting post to Sun Yuanqi. "When Li Hefei Zhongtang was in the Hanlin Academy, he used this big-character Hanlin name to visit the American minister. As a result, the American minister did not understand the rules of our China. Seeing the words were full of paper, he thought he looked down on him, so he made a larger-character named sting for himself and returned it to Li Hefei. Li Hefei was also angry when he saw it, thinking that he was bullying him, but he used a five or six-foot-long sting and went back. It was a joke for a moment."
