"When I met your teacher Qin Xiao, he was already a Li Wei."
In the dark bedroom, the prison lit a cigarette, and the shining candle lit up his heavy face like a rock in an instant.
He looked at Yue Yu, turned his back, looked at Yue Yu with his back without concern, took a deep breath, and spit out the smoke ring still faintly visible in the dark.
"At that time, I was just a disciple, and my contact died, that is, my father just died, so I was assigned to Qin Xiao's men. I've seen you before, but you certainly won't remember me."
In the ritual guard, there are three ranks: disciple, walking and junzuo. The disciples are all connected with walking, which is equivalent to walking subordinates. For example, shihuaifeng is the subordinate of Qin Yueyin.
And walking is not equal. Walking like worshiping prison, which can contact Jun, naturally has a higher status than Qin Yueyin.
But in any case, the vast majority of Li Wei people don't know each other. This is also the best way to hide their companions - the best way to protect the secret is not to let you know the secret.
In this way, even if someone is caught, it will at most affect his contact person, and higher-level figures are enough to respond during this period of time.
Yue Yu thought for a moment and said, "the messenger?"
Bai prison was slightly stunned and said with a smile, "that's one of my identities."
When Qin Leyin was young, he followed Qin Xiao to Yanjing alone to get a copy of Naise's heart and learn spy knowledge. At that time, he had been able to threaten his father not to hurt his brother and sister, so he was relieved to come to Yanjing for further study. He had a deep mind and didn't have to mention it.
Yue Yu recalls a little and finds that Qin Leyin is impressed by the prison worship in her youth.
"My father is a well-known person in Yanjing. Otherwise, he can't be a leader in the Li Wei. His family business is to hire relatives to help him. As soon as he dies, those relatives will join hands to forge an IOU and other things and come to my house to divide the family property."
He looked around the prison for a week, shook the ash out of his palm and continued: "I don't care about the old man's property, but as soon as my father died, those dog like relatives turned around and the pig belly was shit. Naturally, I was very angry."
"As soon as we met, Qin Xiao found my face ugly and asked me what had happened."
"Then he helped you with the power of Li Wei?"
Yue Yu's mind came up with the famous scene of "worshiping the prison and being ostracized by relatives, leaving a sentence you don't regret, and then Li Wei appeared to slap in the face on the spot".
"No, Li Wei won't help you with your family affairs." Bai prison said with a smile, "he asked me about my family, then suggested that I pay for the poorest relatives in the family, and let me hint to them that I am willing to make a fortune with everyone, but I can't stand those white eyed wolves taking advantage of my family."
"I did as he said. The next day, those poor relatives who were favored by me helped me watch the door and drove away all the white eyed wolves who came to separate their families. The white eyed wolves scolded and scolded, but they didn't dare to fight - they had little savings, so naturally they didn't want to fight with those poor barefoot relatives."
"Then I ran away from the white eyed wolves and tried to support these poor relatives to make a living in my house. They were grateful to me. Although the family property was lost by the white eyed wolves, I inherited my father's wealth smoothly and the family was more stable."
Yue Yu nodded: "the rich upper class united with the poor lower class to attack the sinister middle class, which is very cunning but effective.
In fact, his plan in xuanzhu county is almost the same as the practice of worshipping prison - the president of the silver blood Association United with the bottom to destroy the silver blood Association at night, and naturally everything goes well.
However, the premise of doing so is that the upper level is willing to pay certain interests and is willing to believe in the lower level. However, many times, people are always unwilling to pay interests and are even less willing to trust others.
"Is it a cunning conspiracy?" Bai prison said with a smile: "when I told Qin Xiao the results, he said, this is called 'good people have good returns'."
Yue Yu blinked and worshipped prison shrugged: "I don't know whether Qin Xiao taught you this theory, but in Li Wei, his theory was popular for a time - because he used his success to make the most beautiful footnote to his theory."
"I don't know much about Qin Xiao. Most of them are learned from other old people."
"Qin Xiao didn't lead the way. At first, he was just a skyline orphan. It happened that the branch of Siwei in the skyline area was uprooted. He encountered a walking disaster and was dying."
"Walking entrusted him to transmit information, so he traveled thousands of miles to Yanjing. He worked as a short-time worker, became a beggar and was almost abducted by human traffickers, but he finally succeeded in sending the information to the four guards."
"Although the intelligence has long failed with the passage of time, his hard work has still been recognized by the four guards - at least by the king of Li Wei. The king asked Qin Xiao why he was willing to help a stranger travel thousands of miles to send an intelligence. Guess what he answered?"
Yue Yu said, "because this is a commitment between men?"
Bai prison shook his head: "he said, 'because that man has a good start at first sight. He can certainly get benefits by doing this good deed. If it's a big deal, he'll come to Yanjing to beg for food'."
"Sounds realistic."
"After all, he is just an orphan."
The cigarette end of prison worship went out. Yue Yu opened the drawer of the bedside table, took out a cup that had never been used, thanked prison worship, poured down the cigarette end and began to smoke the second one:
"Then junzuo made him a disciple."
"He studied and grew up in Yanjing, and even entered the Royal College. At that time, the old man thought that a little beggar with a skyline accent would be excluded by Yanjing people, but unexpectedly, he had a good reputation among his classmates, and even served as the chief of the Department of near health - to say that he was a hot man of the moment in Yanjing at that time, it was not too much."
"After he became an official of the imperial court, he successfully completed many secret tasks of Li Wei and became a Yanjing Walker as fast as possible - you know, Yanjing walker is different from outer area walker, just like I can contact junzuo, but you can't."
Yue Yu said clearly: "you're great. I envy you. I really hope I can achieve as much as walking in the fire prison one day, more than my heart."
"Thank you." the prison worshipping cloud lightly accepted the exaggeration of Yue Yu's Yin Yang strange air: "Qin Xiao was a special person in the four guards at that time. You know, all officials of the imperial court had factions, and their interests were intertwined and deep-rooted. Sometimes one stop team was a lifetime. Qin Xiao joined one of them through the four guards."
"Generally, small officials in Yanjing either act low-key and accumulate qualifications, or act high-key and ask for credit and war. Qin Xiao is neither, or he is both."
Yue Yu wondered, "what does it mean?"
"He made friends with a high profile, but he never interfered in the affairs of the imperial court." Bai prison said with a smile: "remember your first stop at the ferry in Yanjing? More than ten years ago, although it was also a ferry fishing village, it was very deserted nearby, surrounded by muddy land, but there was no rain in the fish village you saw."
"What Qin Xiao likes most is to mention some minor livelihood issues that are not nutritious, and then investigate the love of the officials in charge of the Department, and deliberately cater for them."
"For example, if he wants to develop the ferry with the same boat, he must first have access, which must be in the charge of the transportation department of the Ministry of works. So he deliberately approached the Secretary for transportation and brought up this small matter when he was happy. It was originally a matter on the schedule, and the Secretary for transportation naturally promised."
"When the road was completed, Qin Xiao encouraged the villagers to spontaneously make a banner and carve a road monument to praise the achievements of the director of the Department of transportation. Qin Xiao also took the director of the Department of transportation to the same boat. All the people he met were grateful and knelt down to thank him."
"The Secretary for transportation has face. His relationship with Qin Xiao is naturally better."
"That's it. When the court officials attacked each other on the issue of the skyline area, Qin Xiao quietly made friends with the officials of the administrative department. He was good-looking, smooth, and had the contacts of his classmates and four guards. What he asked to do was also a small matter of people's livelihood within the scope of his responsibilities. It was only because of the poor cooperation with other departments that he delayed and put it aside. With Qin Xiao as a 'lubricant' , Yanjing's old rusty machine will work like a gear again. "
"At the same time, Qin Xiao also weaves a huge network of relationships for himself. Many difficult tasks come to him. As long as he finds friends to drink, he can get the information he wants. And he gradually enters the eyes of court ministers and is qualified to participate in the political game at the highest level."
Although prison worship is very simple, Yue Yu seems to be able to see a vibrant and exquisite young official through this phrase - investigating hobbies, catering to others, harmonizing the overall situation. It is simple to say, but how many grievances and white eyes have they had? Can they be known by outsiders?
How can people like Yue Yu, who can't keep eye droppings in their eyes, still "investigate and cater to his hobbies" when they see that annoying people either hide or kill them?
So Qin Xiao has no annoying people?
How could it not.
Therefore, it is really a great skill to turn annoying people into their own friends.
"Junzuo is surprised at Qin Xiao's working ability, because in the four guards, there can only be two at the same time, including fame, efficiency and popularity."
"If you are famous, efficient and popular, you will not be good. If you are famous, popular and efficient, you will never be high. If you are efficient, popular and famous, you can never be great. Qin Xiao broke this common sense. Naturally, the senior level of the four guards wondered if he had any spy secrets."
"Qin Xiao didn't take care of himself. He wrote a pamphlet to briefly describe his methodology and theory. Hong Le, do you know what the core point of his theory is?"
Yue Yu calmly stated: "good people are rewarded."
Prison worship nodded: "like others, when I saw the first sentence at the beginning, I thought whether Qin Xiao was fooling us. But after reading Qin Xiao's exposition, many people - at least I wavered."
"He said that people are eager to be recognized and treated well."
"He said that the best selfishness is to make people think you are selfless."
"He said that court officials with warm clothes, food and a wife in their arms have no pressure to survive, so they are more eager to get recognition and worship, so officials pursue power. But in addition, political achievements are also the embodiment of their ability, so he encourages and cooperates with officials to do practical things and good deeds, and allows officials to get real-time gratitude feedback, which can make officials obtain moral satisfaction, so as to pull Close relations between the two sides. "
"He said that the reason why people are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality is not that they don't believe it, but that they believe it but dare not chase it. Because everyone knows how mean they are and how noble benevolence and morality are, and what he does is to let everyone know that benevolence, righteousness and morality are not so illusory. As long as you give a little strength, you will find that you can be a good person, and Can get 'sufficient return'. "
"He said that we should read Huiyao Fu and listen to Shuo lie Zhuan When I was young, I always thought that one day I could become an unparalleled national scholar and make great achievements, which will last forever. However, this kind of hard work will always be rubbed away by fame and wealth, wasted time, and evil in the world. It will be rubbed away again and again. Warm blood will turn cold blood, but cold blood will also rekindle. "
"He said, people are good, so good people have good returns."
"As long as we can make good use of the goodness of human nature, we can also reap the benefits and even climb the hall of elegance one day."
After a moment of silence, Yue Yu asked, "do you believe it?"
The second cigarette burned to the end, and the prison lit another one:
"Some people believe it, some people don't believe it, but the example of Qin Xiao is right in front of us. The four guards talk about heroes based on merit. Whether we believe it or not, we will try to follow suit."
"It's hard for you to imagine the atmosphere at that time... Not only the four guards, but even the whole inflammatory Kyoto has become like a spring breeze. Although there are still many contradictions unresolved and many interest disputes, it seems that there is less hostility and the struggle has eased down."
"It was also this time for the first emperor to set up his own team and began to tentatively carry out small-scale reform."
"For a time, everyone thought Qin Xiao's theory was correct, and even called him 'the most selfless selfish'."
Yue Yu raised her eyebrows slightly: "all beautiful stories are most afraid of a but behind them."
"However," the voice of prison worship seemed to ring out more than ten years ago, looking heavy and ethereal: "fifteen years ago, something happened."
"There was a civil uprising in the skyline, killing officials and rebelling."
"When the news reached Yanjing, the first emperor summoned the cabinet for urgent discussion to discuss whether to..."
"Annihilate the sky."
