Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Eight Singing
"Oh by the way, Mr. Yang, the leader of the bandits in the Soul Mountain is now in the winery outside my Jiangning City. I originally wanted to cooperate with these two letters to sue Chen Yan. Since it is not available for the time being, you can see how to incorporate it." Cao Yi suddenly spoke.
"There are still 132 bandits on the Soul Mountain that were all caught and controlled. You can see who you are sent to accept it. As for the guards on my side, you don't have to come forward anymore. There is not much bounty anyway, so just encircle and suppress the bandits on the Soul Mountain in the name of the Jiangning government. Mr. Yang, see, whoever you want to send here will be sent, and you have the final say. The people on our side will only listen to you. As long as the person who comes holds your hand order, we will hand over all the bandits to the government." Cao Yiyi said with some reference.
Mr. Yang also looked at Cao Yi meaningfully. The two teams looked at each other for a moment, and laughed loudly at the same time.
Yang Xingwen looked at his father and Cao Yi again. He didn't understand why the two of them suddenly burst into laughter in unison as they looked at him. Just as they were about to ask a question, Yang Gong said earnestly: "Xingwen, although you have been an official for more than four years, your political awareness is not as good as Cao Yi. Although you are one year older than Cao Yixu, you are still far behind him. While you are still in Jiangning these days, you can walk with him more and study hard."
Cao Yi quickly bowed to Mr. Yang and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Yang, don't praise me. I have not yet left Jiangning. The farthest I have walked is the winery. I usually stay at my own home to read books. Unlike Brother Xingwen, who has been an official in several places. They all say that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. I am deaf ears and just reading on paper. After all, I am just reading on paper and getting it shallow. In the world, I am sure that I am not as good as Brother Xingwen in terms of practical human feelings."
"Okay, don't be humble, Xingwen, don't think that father, I underestimate you too much. As a father, there is no such thing as a father who doesn't want his children to be better. However, you are indeed far from being a officials, so don't rush to refute it. At least why Cao Yi and I laughed at the same time just now, you haven't figured it out yet. When you figure it out, you will know why I said that. Look, Cao Yi not only understands it, but also has done it!" Yang Gong said with emotion, and he was also in his heart. Shocked, he secretly said: "Cao Yi, even after the New Year, it should be only sixteen years old. Xiao Xiao Nian is already so evil. When he is in his thirties, that's all... Brother Guohua is really enviable. The Cao family's generals are really a tiger father and no dog son. He thought he would be the fourth son of the Cao family in the future, and now it seems that the one who achieves the highest success in the future is very likely to be the youngest eighth son Cao Yi. Alas, having a son should be like Cao Zhaozheng!'.
"Mr. Yang, it's actually Brother Xingwen who is kind-hearted and loyal, and I have been a rebellious since I was a child, so...hehe." Cao Yi smiled foolishly in the middle of his speech, and did not say anything more. However, Mr. Yang naturally understood and said worriedly at this time: "This is what I worry about. Xingwen's personality will be fine if he is just a small official in the officialdom in the future. He really climbed high and became a Beijing official in three ministries and six provinces. I'm afraid that he would fall badly by others in the future!"
"Brother Xingwen is still young now, and you have the protection of Mr. Yang. The early stage is too smooth. After you have experienced it in the future, you will suffer a little hardship. If you train your face to become thick and invisible, and your heart to be black and colorless, you will be able to rise steadily in the ups and downs of the officialdom." As Cao Yi spoke, he brought out the famous sayings in the study of thick and darkness.
"The skin is thick and invisible, the heart is dark and colorless... The skin is thick and invisible, the heart is dark and colorless..." Yang Gong repeated what Cao Yi said, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, and suddenly said in surprise: "My Nephew, your ten words are really the ultimate principle of the way of being an official!" Then he turned to Yang Xingwen and said: "Xingwen, as long as you understand the ten words Cao Yi just said and apply them to your officialdom, then your father will be a little relieved."
Yang Xingwen nodded. These ten words are easy to understand, and their meaning is their literal meaning. Although it is a high profile and concise way of being an official in the officialdom, you can tell at first that it is a plain language that everyone can understand, but it only takes a long time or even a lifetime to study.
"Brother Yi, where did you get these words? There are so many things that you feel like you are born to know." Yang Xingwen asked curiously with an envious tone.
"Of course I didn't know it by nature. I saw many things from books. For example, these ten words are understood by myself after reading "Records of the Grand Historian" and "The Three Kingdoms". Because in these books, we can see that those who have accomplished great things in ancient and modern times are just thick-faced and dark-hearted. For Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms, both of them are heroes of the Three Kingdoms period. But in my opinion, Cao Cao was able to succeed because he was so shady. He killed Lu Boshe, Kong Rong, Yang Xiu, Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, the Queen and the Prince, and advocated "Ning I"
The life philosophy of betraying the world and not teaching the world and betraying me, the essence of the treacherous hero is fully exposed. Liu Bei's success was because he was thick-skinned. From his beginning, he first followed Cao Cao, then Lu Bu, Liu Biao, Sun Quan, and Yuan Shao, fled east and west, did not care about shame, and was also good at crying to deceive the soldiers' favor..." Cao Yi talked happily, and was very happy. In terms of his ability to spray, Cao Yi, as a keyboard warrior in later generations, deeply studied the treasure book of "Keycom" and his strength could be said to be at the end of the realm of transformation. Cao Zhaozheng did not give birth to him, and he sprayed forever like a long night.
"This..." Yang Gong and Yang Xingwen both sighed hesitantly. In fact, Prime Minister Cao and Uncle Liu are both heroes and heroes who are rare in official and unofficial history, with very positive images. However, in Cao Yi's mouth, one is a vicious treacherous hero and the other is a shameless hypocritical villain. It is very different from their understanding over the years. However, after careful consideration, it seems that Cao Yi is right.
"In fact, if you form a school of thick face and dark heart, it should be called thick black. It can be roughly divided into three stages. The first stage is 'thick as a city wall, black as charcoal'. Although the city wall is thick, it can also be broken down. Although the charcoal is black, its color is abominable, and no one wants to approach it. The second stage is 'thick and hard, black and bright'. Compared with the first stage, although it is very different, it is tangible and colorful. After careful observation, others can still see a little clue of thick black. The third stage is 'thick and invisible'.
, black but colorless, enter a state of silent, odorless, invisible and colorless. At this point, you can conquer and defeat the officialdom, and watch the ups and downs of the officialdom with a smile."
"These ten words alone contain so many truths. Brother Yi, you are so sharp!" Yang Xingwen said in admiration.
"But these are only some of them that can be tried, and they cannot be copied and copied. They must be practiced personally. After all, learning from one's mistakes is true. And it does not mean that you have to implement it in this way in the future. It is better to have no books than to believe in books. Although everyone knows that only by being a sarcastic person can you achieve great things, if you think about it carefully, you should not be like this in your true life." Cao Yi said slowly.
"In today's world, there are many people with little shamelessness who are complacent in power and tricks, think that they have achieved success, and are proud of being treacherous, cunning, flattery and deceived the lower world, and call it wisdom; be loyal, honest, benevolent, righteous, honest, and honest, and dislike complaining as pedantic. This is the real destruction of the yellow bell and the thunder of the pot. Moreover, from ancient times to the present, more and more people have begun to praise this fallacy. Brother Xingwen and Yang Gong, whether it is official or business, we should take the essence of it.
Hua removes the dross, and uses what can be used, and resolutely does not use what cannot be used. Don’t ask for the great official position, but want to be worthy of the people, don’t ask for the rich money, but want to be worthy of the heart." In the end, Cao Yi still said his inner thoughts, fearing that such a loyal and honest Yang Xingwen would turn into a corrupt official like Liu Guan, Heshen, Qin Tui, and Yan Song. After all, Li Zongwu originally wrote the harsh black learning to use the past to mock the present and criticize the current situation, and he was still very indignant in his heart.
Mr. Yang and Yang Xingwen were stunned, as if they were thinking about what Cao Yi said. Then Mr. Yang suddenly woke up, bowed deeply to Cao Yi, and said, "The words of the Emperor's uncle are like Huang Zhong Dalu hitting the deepest part of my heart. When I first heard the saying of the black black, I was really happy in my heart. I thought I had obtained the ultimate truth of the rise. Fortunately, the following words of the Emperor's uncle woke me up, but I didn't get me deeply involved."
"Hehe..." Cao Yi touched the back of his head, smiled honestly, and did not have the wisdom and charm of the conversation just now. However, now this is more in line with his sixteen-year-old age. He said silly: "Actually, I said these words to Brother Xingwen. Mr. Yang, you are already unconscious of your destiny. You must understand these principles. I am afraid that if Brother Xingwen is too strong at that time, it will be not good if he goes to extremes."
"Thank you, Brother Yi. I think I am pretty good now. I do my job well. As for the others, if you have the ability to take care of, I will take care of you. If you don't have the ability, I won't be able to make you fat. Although I am indeed a little fat, hahaha!" Yang Xingwen smiled cheerfully.
Cao Yi chatted in the Yang Mansion for a while, then offered to say goodbye, and changed the time of meeting Shen Yan to tomorrow morning, because he had to send invitations in the afternoon to Shen Yan to make an appointment in advance for the meeting time and place tomorrow morning, so that Cao Yi could go to Kuang Gong to pay New Year's greetings in the afternoon. After all, he is his elder, and he still has to walk around during the Spring Festival.
