Taibao is the most respected person in Taicheng today, so the official office is not far from Yuancheng, next to Taiji East Hall.

The newly built Taibao official office is a four-sided high pavilion, and the regulation is only slightly inferior to the Taiji front hall, and higher than the Shangshutai. There are many office places scattered around, surrounded by high walls, like an independent individual.

In fact, it is not only the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but also the Chinese and Korean dynasties, including the Han Dynasty, important ministers of this level like Wang Dao have a high degree of independence, not just the echo worms attached to the emperor, each has a set of teams to jointly govern the world. It's just that with the development of the times, the imperial power has become stronger and stronger, and gradually the ministers of Zaifu have no original ability to restrain in the face of the imperial power, and even reduced to the existence of slaves.

When Shen Zhezi and the others arrived, Director Wang was discussing matters with several subordinates. Now there are three powerful bigwigs in Taicheng, Yu Tan only focuses on military affairs, and only takes care of the affairs of the military government. However, the decentralization of power in Shangshutai is too much, and many divisions and directors are staggered, and there are many overlaps between ministries. Wen Qiao can't talk about which aspect he is specifically responsible for, but more about coordinating in the middle.

Relatively speaking, Wang Dao's responsibility is much more important, he is in charge of Taicheng with Taibao, and he himself serves as Situ. To a certain extent, Situ has some of the responsibilities of the prime minister. In addition, he also served as the assassin of Yangzhou, and it can be said that the affairs from the central center to the local are all in one.

Seeing Shen Zhezi enter, Director Wang did not deliberately snub him, suspended the proceedings, and asked Shen Zhezi to arrange for him to go to a side room, and after a while, he hurriedly came, looked at Shen Zhezi and smiled slightly, and his expression was not close or distant, but said: "There are many affairs in Taiwan, and there is an urgent need for talents to do things, and it is also a good thing for people to be able to make it difficult." ”

Shen Zhezi hurriedly got up and bowed down and said: "Taibao's reputation really makes the younger generations panic, and the edict arrives early, but it is just lazy by nature, and it is really ashamed to delay the edict so far." ”

"Juye may not be without work, and there is no lack of lazy government in Juye, but there is no need to generalize."

When Director Wang said this, his tone was slightly complicated, and he glanced at Shen Zhezi deeply. As the current ruler of Taicheng, how could he not complain about Shen Zhezi, but he just talked about this matter in his capacity, after all, he lacked some grace and elegance.

Shen Zhezi naturally heard Wang Daoxian's voice, why did he have no work during this time in the field, he was even busier than Sangong, and it was no wonder that Wang Daoyan was sarcastic, he did have some reason in this regard, and it was not easy to answer for a while, so he just responded with a smile.

When Director Wang saw Shen Zhezi's state, there was no lack of emotion in his heart.

His senses for this young man are really a little complicated, first of all, there is no lack of appreciation for his ability, not to mention anything else, just now that this Taicheng has taken on a new look, it can be said that this young man has contributed to it. Not to mention that such a talent is in Jiangdong at present, even in the middle of the DPRK, purely in terms of ability, it can be regarded as being in front of others, and it is rarely compared.

Even Director Wang himself has to admit that Shen Zhezi may not be able to do better if he does these things by himself, and may even be slightly inferior.

On the other hand, the disadvantages are as obvious as the advantages, relying on their own abilities, controlling the hearts of the people, and every plan can make people's hearts sway, and it is difficult to be self-sustaining. This may be a good thing for individuals, but for the world, especially for the ruined situation in Jiangdong, it is really hard to judge.

Wang Zhilai adheres to the principle that it is better to be still than motionless, on the one hand, because of his character, and on the other hand, because the world is really unable to withstand too much turmoil. The situation of this world is unprecedented, Yidi is raging in China, but the royal industry has to survive in a corner. Director Wang admits that he doesn't have much enterprising ability, so he wholeheartedly just wants to be able to maintain the situation and not get worse.

Therefore, people like Shen Zhezi are essentially different from Director Wang. Although Director Wang admits his ability, he does not recognize his style of doing things, perhaps he has made many achievements earlier, but it does not mean that he has always been able to take the sword and make some gains, the situation in Jiangdong is too fragile, and the background is far inferior to the Central Plains, and a failure may cause the collapse of the overall situation.

Such a lesson is not without it, and Jiangdong has not been able to get out of the haze of the Su Jun Rebellion so far. According to Director Wang's observation of Shen Zhezi, this young man's behavior is even more radical than Yu Liang's.

It is good for a person to be capable, but if one is able to do his own without restraint, then the greater the ability, the greater the harm that may be done to the world.

Therefore, for Shen Zhezi, Director Wang has gradually turned from his initial appreciation to some disappointment, and even hidden vigilance. If it were possible, he really wanted to be able to imprison him for eternity, and the higher such a person was, the greater the harm to the world. However, he also knew that this idea was no longer realistic from the current point of view, even if he could control the center, but he could not prevent the place, and he could only exacerbate the division of the situation.

Although he was dissatisfied with Shen Zhezi, he had to accept the fact that the other party was active in the current situation, so Director Wang also hoped that he could rely on his influence to allow this young man to temporarily regain his edge, at least not to do too many actions that the current situation could bear. The reason why he has this idea is also because Shen Zhezi had no shortage of efforts to maintain stability when he recovered Gyeonggi earlier, which shows that this young man has a sense of the overall situation, at least he doesn't want to just seek a monopoly like ordinary Wu people.

"Jiang Yingyuan's article "On Migration", I also talked with my peers more when I crossed the river, but in addition to emotion, I felt more that the disadvantages of the times were accumulated, although there was a good medicine, it could not be violently removed. This is probably also the sadness of the current situation, and no one can be lightly offended. ”

After a long silence, Director Wang still decided to talk about his views on the recent uproar.

When Shen Zhezi heard this, there was no lack of sneers in his heart. He actually has a lot of respect for Director Wang, because his contribution to the current situation is indeed obvious to all, and it cannot be erased in a word. But Director Wang's limitations are also obvious, a good family background provides him with strong capital, but it also imposes great restrictions on him.

For example, Jiang Tong's "Theory of Migration" really oversimplifies the problem, and the proposed plan tends to be idealistic, but the actual implementation is not high. But at the very least, it raises a fatal problem and a terrible prospect, and that alone is enough to attract the attention of those in power.

But no, whether it was Empress Jia, who was in power at the time, or Sima Lun, the king of Zhao who replaced him, or even Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, and Wang Yan's partners, they were more concerned about the gains and losses of their own interests, and even let the Hu people arm themselves without restriction as a bargaining chip for them to compete for power. The stupidity and short-sightedness of this group of people are destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. Even if Director Wang doesn't want to admit it, the facts are the facts!

However, the current situation has its own public opinion, and Shen Zhezi does not need to argue and-for-tat in front of Director Wang, and after hearing this, he still said the same as in front of Wen Qiao: "I want to apologize to the Taibao for this matter, what I did was really inconsiderate, and I didn't expect it to have such an impact on the people of the time." In fact, for Jiang Gong's "Theory of Migration", the younger generation did not fully recognize it, so it was deleted and selected. It is indeed not a sin of one person, nor is it a temporary trouble. It is indeed unfair to insist on one. ”

Hearing Shen Zhezi's statement, Director Wang's face turned a little pale, what he was most worried about was not the current boiling of discussions, but the guiding role of Shen Yuan's Star Picking Tower for public opinion. However, after this incident, if Taichung takes any more actions against the Star Picking Tower, the pertinence will inevitably be too obvious, which will also inspire more dissatisfaction.

"The horse has its own wisdom, and everyone knows it. But the length of wisdom is ultimately inferior to the far-reaching of the world, and how can people be considered exhaustive. Therefore, those in high positions are always thoughtful and cautious, lest if they are wrong, they will cause great harm to the world. The small people, thinking and angry, difficult to live in the common way, easy to move and difficult to settle, tied to the acres of land can get Chang'an, if it is lightly controlled, if it is careless, it can be harmed by itself. ”

Since he decided to tolerate and persuade Shen Zhezi, Director Wang was much more attentive when he spoke again, hoping that Shen Zhezi would no longer stir up trouble by inciting the people. Because in his opinion, this is really putting the cart before the horse, and the danger is extremely great.

Wang Dao's statement is a typical elitist thinking, to put it nicely, it is called the sense of responsibility of the scholars for the world, but in fact, in essence, they do not recognize that those ordinary people outside the scholars are independent and can communicate with each other on an equal footing.

Although Shen Zhezi does not agree with this kind of thinking, there is no need to blame Wang Dao for this, in fact, it is not only Wang Dao or the scholars of this era who think this way, and for thousands of years later, the ruling class does not feel that the small people have any autonomy. Even if Ming Taizu, who is also from a civilian background, Xiaomin is just a seedling that needs more care in his eyes.

In Shen Zhezi's time, there were also many so-called elites, who were discussing the inferiority of the rabble. But once the rabble awakens, their agency and enterprising spirit are far from being comparable to those of the original upper class!

Although he had different opinions in his heart, there was no need for Shen Zhezi to discuss any ideological issues with Director Wang now, and he nodded yes when Director Wang said, with a respectful attitude.

Director Wang talked for a long time, and he believed that with Shen Zhezi's intelligence, he would definitely be able to hear the meaning of his words, but although Shen Zhezi's attitude was very sincere, Director Wang still had doubts in his heart about how much he had received. However, these things don't have to be rushed, and there will naturally be a lot of time to change the other party subtly in the future.

Seeing that it was getting late, Director Wang said with a smile: "I was talkative for a while, but it took such a long time." Don't blame me for chattering, don't blame me, let's get here today. Later, the name will be attributed to Yousi, and there should be colleagues who will feast on the horses, and you young people will enjoy themselves, and I will not force them to stay. ”

"In the future, the younger generation will be the subordinates of the Taibao, and the Taibao can be commensurate with the words."

Shen Zhezi got up again and bowed again.

"Xia Wu Weizhou, the hope can be described as far-reaching, the family is for the country, and there are heirs. Then, Wei Zhou, you can go first, and when you have time, I will talk to you in depth. ”

Director Wang also stood up, he is also entangled in affairs now, but he was able to spare a whole afternoon to talk to Shen Zhezi, and the importance he attaches to can be imagined.

Shen Zhezi bowed to Shangguan, and when he went out again, in addition to Yuan Tan still waiting outside, there were also subordinate officials who were already waiting here. In addition, there were many people who did not know each other, and they also stood under the porch, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.

"Taibao has good words and teachings, and sooner or later, Brother Lao Yandao has been waiting for a long time."

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Shen Zhezi didn't expect Director Wang to talk to him for such a long time, so he apologized to Yuan Tan and smiled after going out.

Yuan Tan accepted the other party's precious gifts, and there was no complaint at this time, he smiled and waved his hand: "This shows that the Taibao attaches great importance to the horses, and when they come to work together in the Japanese government, they have to ask the horses to help them complete many things." Since I am in charge of guiding the horses, how dare I quit my work? ”

As he spoke, he turned around again, pointed to the official of the Ministry of Officials and said, "This person is Chen Ju Chen Langzhong of the Ministry of Officials, who is responsible for the registration of the horse lord into the naturalization. ”

It is not only a family biography and merit list, but also a person's identity in the present. If an official does not have a valve to read, then it means that his family background is insignificant, and he has to endure a lot of contempt at the moment of entry.

Therefore, when officials join the company, they must always dig out their minds and do their best to beautify their own views. Even if the ancestors don't have a name to talk about, they have to make up some elegant anecdotes, which is also where Shen Zhezi's "New Words of the World" market is. This is probably equivalent to the resumes of those who are looking for jobs in later generations, and graduates from prestigious schools naturally have a greater advantage in the workplace. This is not to say that the ability of students from prestigious schools is necessarily superior, but it is a kind of recognition of the society's tendency towards resources.

Although the Ministry of Officials has become independent from Shangshutai, it has not yet reached the status of completely controlling the promotion channels of officials in later generations, but the trend has been revealed. Although Shen Zhezi served as a public official, his name still existed in the Ministry of Officials before he could be regarded as officially entering the office. Therefore, the superior status of the officials gradually became prominent, and even the chief official was called the Great Shangshu.

As a prominent department like Taiwan, there is naturally no lack of arrogance among officials in the ministry. Even if others perform their duties and hand in their names to read their names, they must honestly go to the official office of the Ministry of Officials to line up, and if they encounter officials who do not deal with them, it is common to delay for three or five months. But this arrogance also varies from person to person, and before Shen Zhezi arrived at the ministry, the officials in charge had already come to wait first, which was also a strange thing in Taichung.

Shen Zhezi turned to look at that Chen Langzhong, and before he could speak, the other party had already stepped forward and said with a smile: "The horse performed his duties today, and the department has already heard about it, and the matter of the name has already been done." I'm here to make a briefing, but I'm just asking you to take up your post with peace of mind, and you don't have to make another trip. ”

After hearing this, not only Shen Zhezi was slightly surprised, but even the people next to him couldn't help but change color. It is no wonder that the level of power can only be fully revealed in the power field, and others have to be scheduled for several days to join the company, but the real power of the people has not yet arrived, and the officials have already done things first.

"Lao Chen Langzhong personally told me that I was worried that it would be late, and it would be disrespectful to come to the door at this time."

"The colt is polite, this is all a trivial matter, why bother."

That Chen Ju said with a smile again, then looked at the people next to him, and said: "When the horse entered the stage, my colleagues and I should have congratulated together." However, presumably the horses have already made an agreement, so they will no longer bother, and they will visit the horses in the future day. ”
