Chapter 9 Imperial Examination Enemies
Xu Ping thought about Ding Wei's words carefully, but he didn't dare to interfere for a while. N∈ Returning to the Central Plains and seeing the emperor, it seemed like a trivial matter, but once the Gong Ding in front of him had a conversation with the emperor, he would not know what huge waves caused. Now, who dared to let him get half a step closer to Kaifeng City?
Some people have such a mighty power that can make everyone afraid of their souls and dare not slack off at all. Xu Ping has been an official for many years, so how could he not know how powerful it is?
Seeing Xu Ping silent, Ding Wei laughed self-deprecatingly: "I have entered the official career as a Jinshi in this life, starting from being a master of magistrate, and the position has reached the third duke. It's not that I boasted, but from the local government to the court, I have served in previous official positions. If I talk about the achievements of the government, I am not worse than any one. Unfortunately, I was too fame and fortune at that time, and there were disasters."
Xu Ping still didn't say anything, but said in his heart that you are not just about being fame and fame, but you have to play with the emperor and ministers in your own hands and take charge of the world with one person's strength. You have too much ambitions.
Seeing Xu Ping shut up and just refused to respond, Ding Wei couldn't help but smile and said, "Yunxing, you are successful in your youth, but you didn't expect to be so cautious! I'm already in my twilight years, so what?"
Xu Ping said solemnly: "My husband, I am a late student. If I have any teachings, Xu Ping will listen carefully. But how could I, a local official, dare to interfere with the major events in the court?"
Ding Wei said disapprovingly: "I just ask you to pass a word to the emperor. This time you return to Beijing, the emperor will definitely summon him alone. So what can I do if I say a good word to me?"
"If my husband wants to see the emperor, he can submit a letter to him, so why should he go through my words and do this? The most important thing for being a minister is to keep his duty tightly. If he doesn't do this lucky thing."
Seeing that Xu Ping was serious, Ding Wei knew that it would be unnecessary to say anything. After changing the topic, he never mentioned Xu Ping anymore. He is a mature figure, so he is naturally clear about what he should say and what he should not say.
The reason why I didn't turn around the bush and asked Xu Ping to help me speak was that I saw that Xu Ping was young and sharp, and once I was seen, I could use tricks. I might lose this way. Now I tell you that no matter whether Xu Ping agreed or not, the relationship will not be too stiff. As long as I can speak, I will leave a way. Who knows what opportunities will be next? As long as people leave enough ways, there will always be a time to understand.
Since he was dismissed from his precepts, Ding Wei devoted himself to studying Buddhism, which is also his way to broaden his mind and maintain his health. According to the saying, powerful ministers like Ding Wei are generally narrow-minded and not much bigger than needle holes. Ding Wei is an exception. He monopolizes power when he is in power. He does not tolerate any of them. Once he loses power, he will soon be able to recognize the situation and never blame others or recover.
Unfortunately, in this era, there are too many people who understand Ding Wei. If he lets him use his thousands of methods, he will seal his chance to get close to the capital. Even though his great skills are in remote small states, he will not give him the opportunity to get close to the center. That's why Ding Wei heard that Xu Ping, a person with great potential, could not wait for him to come to Daozhou.
Unexpectedly, Xu Ping was not very old, but he was very cautious in his actions. After spending a long time, he seemed to have been wasting his thoughts again. However, Ding Wei was not discouraged, and he was quite as energetic as the prime minister could hold a boat.
When talking about Buddhism, Ding Wei saw that Xu Ping was not interested, so he turned the topic to poetry and prose. Ding Wei became famous for his articles since he was a child, and he was versatile and had all kinds of astronomy and geography. In this era, Xu Ping's taste was strange, but he didn't expect Ding Wei to always find out the topics he was interested in.
It was not until noon that Ding Wei said goodbye and said to Xu Ping: "I have a small house in Daozhou City. Although the place is not big, it is good for it to be quiet. If Yunxing is free, you might as well go to the city to look at me."
Xu Ping agreed and sent Ding Wei out of the inn all the way, watching him ride on the green donkey and go slowly.
It was not until he could no longer see Ding Wei's shadow that Xu Ping breathed out and turned back to the inn.
Since he came to this world, this is the first time Xu Ping has encountered such a person, and his nerves have been tense. As long as Ding Wei wants to talk to you, there will never be a cold time and he is not interested in one topic, so he can change to another. There seems to be nothing in this world that he doesn't know. Finally, he even talked about local administration with Xu Ping, and he was very talked about, which made Xu Ping feel that he learned a lot after listening to it.
What is a genius? A person like Ding Wei is a genius. No matter what environment or era he changes, he can almost make a name for himself. He has never forgotten all his feelings since childhood and has a good understanding of his character. What else can stop him from making a name for himself?
Unfortunately, Ding Wei's fatal weakness is that he is too passionate about power and has no bottom line in being a human being, and he eventually offended the whole world.
After seeing Ding Wei off, Xu Ping sat alone in the living room, thinking about the content of the conversation between the two, and looking for a place for himself to learn from it. Ding Wei has many abilities to learn, but he must not learn from others.
Speaking of Ding Wei, we must talk about the enemies Kou Zhun and Feng Zheng.
Feng Zheng was a Jinshi in the second year of Taiping Xingguo, and was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Taiping Xingguo, and was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Taiping Xingguo, and was a Tanhualang.
Several Jinshis of Taiping Xingguo had several enemies, including Hu Dan vs. Lu Mengzheng, the top scorer vs. Kou Zhun vs. Feng Zheng, and Tanhua vs. Tanhua. Hu Dan looked down on Lu Mengzheng all his life, but his later years were miserable. Kou Zhun looked down on Feng Zheng, who was shaky for the rest of his life, and Kou Zhun lived in Leizhou. Feng Zheng became prime minister in his later years. After his death, he was so sad that he chased Zhao Pu, the most meritorious official of the Song Dynasty.
Xu Ping and Feng Zheng's second son Feng Shanji jointly ruled a state for several years, and were particularly moved by the fate of these two people.
Kou Zhun was born into a prominent family, but Feng Zheng's father was Zhao Pu's servant, and his status was far-reaching. Kou Zhun was successful at a young age and was ranked as the prime minister for only ten years after he became a Jinshi. The battle of Chanyuan was famous all over the world. Feng Zheng was wasted his official career. To put it bluntly, he relied on his youth to waste all his ministers of the same era, and then he relied on his qualifications to take over his position as prime minister.
When talking about life experience, ability, and qualifications, Kou Zhun made Feng Zheng look up to him. But there was only one thing that Feng Zheng had the upper hand over Kou Zhun, that was Ding Wei.
Ding Wei was promoted by Kou Zhun, but in the end, because Ding Wei flattered Kou Zhun, the two got rid of evil. Of course, there was no such thing in politics, and the two turned against each other was just an introduction. In the end, Kou Zhun was excluded by Ding Wei and was demoted to Leizhou, and never set foot in the Central Plains again in his life.
Feng Zheng, who was looked down upon by Kou Zhun, took advantage of this gap to rise to the prime minister. Ding Wei, this talent was actually trapped in the hands of the inconspicuous Feng Zheng at the peak of his life, and was demoted farther than Kou Zhun.
Life is so funny. I wonder if Kou Zhun changed his view of Feng Zheng at that time.
The officialdom is like a boating in a dangerous beach. You cannot be quick, and you must be down-to-earth in every step. When talking about success in a young man and courageous in taking on tasks, who can compare with Kou Zhun? He has made great contributions to the state and is trusted by two generations of emperors, but his final last days are miserable. When talking about ability, means, and ruthlessness, there is no bottom line in doing things. Who can compare with Ding Wei? As a result, he can only give guidance to the remote Xiaozhou here, and fall to seek a younger generation like Xu Ping.
If Ding Wei's arrival taught Xu Ping something, it means he is to be more cautious in the officialdom and become more cautious.
