Wang Gong: It's all a curse caused by the wind

Wang Gong was an official of the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, where "the literary style was a temporary sect". He grew up in a family of generations and laid the mark of loyalty and patriotism from an early age. At home, the capital is full of high-ranking friends, and the dignitaries and social elites often gather to discuss the general trend of the world and deny social reality. Xiao Wang was determined to carry forward the political ideal of his predecessors who "thought about the country for a while and loved the king for a thousand years." To this end, he was "determined to learn, and his ambition was very strong", and gradually learned and achieved success, "surprising and strong words, shocking the world", and became a "less well-known" scholar. At the age of twenty, Xiao Wang directly entered the official arena with the method of "Enyin (the admission or appointment treatment of the lower generation by the imperial court because of the merits of the senior generation)" and began to emerge on the political stage. After Xiao Wang made his debut, he first moved the Beijing division under the name of "Literary Cai" and became a dark horse in the literary world. He was diligent in his creation, throwing out several large historical works and poetry collections as soon as he made a shot, and his calligraphy and painting works were also extremely accomplished, which was widely praised by the literary circles. Su Shi favored him even more, praising him as "strange in all new poems." However, Xiao Wang Zhi was not here, he took the initiative to participate in the administration and discussion of politics, "dared to discuss", and wrote a series of songs and strategies for the shortcomings of the times. The content of these articles stirred up and promoted the "disease of many cuts", and the words were fierce and magnificent, which laid the foundation for Xiao Wang's status as a political rising star. An old cadre repeatedly impeached the emperor's favorite courtiers, and the song was suppressed, so he humbly asked Xiao Wang for advice. Xiao Wang instructed Ji Yi: "You say to the emperor: The courtiers are the eyes and ears, and the emperor is the heart." The heart is unaware of the outside world and needs its eyes and ears to convey the news of the outside world. If the heart already knows everything about the outside world, what else should it do? When the old cadres saw the emperor, "it was in Gong's language." Although the emperor was given a black line, he had a special liking for Xiao Wang's literary talent. The prime minister and others took the opportunity to jointly recommend him to the Divine Sect, and Xiao Wang's prestige reached its peak. Xiao Wang's arrogance played a repulsive and completely "did not seek his own body", which deeply touched the vested interests of some bureaucrats. They huddled together for warmth and formed an anti-king alliance. At the hearing presided over by Song Shenzong, the anti-Wang alliance blamed Xiao Wang, saying that he had been directly an official without the examination of the imperial examination, lacked experience, was politically naïve, and that promotion out of the ordinary was not conducive to the healthy growth of young people, and that he should start from the grassroots level in a down-to-earth manner. Xiao Wang's supporters were evenly matched with them. Song Shenzong was undecided, and finally decided to deal with it coldly, hanging Xiao Wang high. Falling from the peak of hope to the abyss of despair, Xiao Wang's eyes shone with only a piece of Venus that had been thrown out. The helpless sighs and exhortations of the supporters, the provocative eyes and words and deeds of the opposition stimulate the sensitive nerves of this noble and arrogant official rookie. The "ups and downs" nature hidden in his bones breaks through the shackles, like an openEd Pandora's box, sowing disasters everywhere for him. Since then, Xiao Wang has broken the jar and broken, and has begun to attack the current politics and officialdom at will, unscrupulously evaluating his superiors and colleagues, and treating work and life in his own way. The skillful combination of profound "literary talent" and cynical "wind flow" has made Xiao Wang the first poisonous tongue in the capital. Xiao Wang was young and crazy, mistakenly regarded wayward paranoia as a celebrity style, and completely alienated himself into a "wind flow" of the official field. Every year, he can enter the examination list of the Organization Department based on his work performance, but every time he is named Sun Shan. Because the officialdom hated "his mouth is terrible", they all gave him a bad review on the opinion sheet, blocking his promotion channel. Frustrated one after another, Xiao Wang was discouraged, and repeatedly invited the jianghu warlocks to the office to play the game of asking for luck, and was caught by the Ministry of Supervision, received suspension for reflection and was transferred to a foreign place. After Xiao Wang was expelled from the capital for the first time, he relented and reflected, and was soon able to return to Kyoto. After controlling the poisonous tongue, Xiao Wang still made frequent mistakes. A colleague complained about reality, and he smiled and listened without stopping. He was asked to revise the draft, but he knew that it was a reactionary article that slandered the Central Committee, and he still pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not turn it over to the organization. Both serious incidents of non-political attention were reported, and Xiao Wang was suspended for inspection. After being moved to the National Archives as an editor for a few days, he was punished again for losing money caused by lending important materials to the archives without authorization. Out of compassion, he accepted a bribe from an old cadre and helped him to reduce his punishment up and down, laying the foundation for his later exile. Although Xiao Wang was talented, he always made such big mistakes and did not make small mistakes continuously, which not only made the supporters sad and disappointed, but also let the opponents grasp the handle, and was regarded by the emperor as a politically immature clumsy disciple. Xiao Wang squandered ten years of good youth for his "wind flow", and only entered the national university at the age of establishment, becoming a professor at an administrative level equivalent to the county and department level. In the bleak journey, Xiao Wang always received the support of Su Shi. He was deeply influenced by Su Shi's benevolent elderly style and optimistic and open-minded attitude, faded a lot of youth and hostility, and gradually learned to be calm. After Su Shi became the mayor of Xuzhou, Wang Gong made a special trip to visit, and spent more than ten days together with the immortal days of "playing the flute and drinking, returning home by the moon", and Elder Brother Su summed up the significance of this autumn tour affectionately: "Li Taibai died, and there was no such happiness for three hundred years. This collection has obviously enhanced Wang Gong's popularity and sowed the seeds of disaster. Two years later, Su Shi was arrested for the "Wutai Poetry Case", implicating more than twenty friends, and Wang Gong bore the brunt of it. The Ministry of Supervision turned over old accounts and impeached him for secretly accepting bribes from old cadres in those years, and for having long-term contacts with Su Shi for many times. Wang Gong was expelled from the capital for the second time and demoted to Pennsylvania (present-day Binyang, Guangxi) as an inspector of salt and liquor taxes. Wang Gong "one son died in who," and one son died at home," and he almost died in a foreign land with miasma, and his life fell into a trough. People unanimously believed that Wang Gong, who was soaked in a honeypot, was destroyed by the destruction of this family, and he was bound to be depressed, pour sorrow with wine, complain about the world, eat and die. Unexpectedly, Wang Gong showed a real celebrity style in Pennsylvania. Wang Gong buried his son with tears in his eyes and resolutely embarked on a new job. At the tax office in the land of barbarian miasma, he commuted to work on time every day and completed every tax audit work strictly and conscientiously. After work, he insisted on "entertaining himself with poetry" or concentrating on "writing books in poverty", unless he was sick or had a happy or mourning event, and only stopped for a few days. He wrote ten volumes of "Notes on the Analects of a Family" and dedicated them to the emperor after returning to Beijing, drawing a satisfactory end to his exile career. He repeatedly advised Su Shi not to feel guilty because he was involved in himself, because he was blessed by misfortune, and finally had time to "read the scriptures more diligently" and create, and by the way, asceticism in the Taoist art of immortality. He also sent "hundreds of poems written outside his ling" to Su Shi, which were "peaceful and prosperous, and had the sound of ruling the world", using figurative language to depict the beautiful scenery of Guangxi and express his broad mind and grand ambitions. The "ambition of loyal kings to serve the country is not easy" is the main reason why Wang Gong can "be at peace with hardships and hardships." Under the support of ideals and beliefs, although he was in the "miasma cave for five years", he always "did not taste selfish pity", firmly believing that "the propaganda room must eventually calculate Jia Sheng", and the emperor will eventually reuse a good cadre like jia yi like him. He took Du Fu, who "drank and ate in poverty, and never forgot the king" as an example, and regarded exile and debasement as the only way to strengthen his will. He was afraid that "outside the dead mountain, the grace of the Son of Heaven could not be repaid", insisted on exercising, trained a good body, and after returning to Beijing, "his appearance was the same, and his ambition was stronger." During Wang Gong's demotion to Pennsylvania, he also gained love. His family originally had about a dozen singers, but when they were degraded, the singers fell down and scattered, but Yuwen Rounu, who was "beautiful in eyebrows and good at coping", resolutely followed him to "rugged mountains and seas, going to the country and miles" south to Pennsylvania. This talented and talented woman accompanied Wang Gong through the long night with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, comforted the lover who had never met Huai Cai with a light song and dance, served Wang Gong with exquisite and wonderful cooking skills, and used superb and magical medical skills to benefit the people of Lingnan. Under her all-round company that she did not abandon, Wang Gong "returned to the color and Yu, and the qi was strong and solid" Su Shi saw Wang Gong at the wind reception banquet after experiencing hardships and was "like a red jade", puzzled, and asked Yuwen Rounu: "'Guangnan terroir, should it be bad? Soft to the sun: 'This place of peace of mind is my hometown'. Su Shi was deeply touched by the calmness and calmness under her feminine appearance, and filled out a "Ding Feng Bo" with a pen and gave it to him. Because there are sentences in the words "often envy the jade in the world, heaven should beg and point crispy niang", "dian crisp niang (beautiful woman whose skin is as smooth and delicate as gel)" has become a synonym for Yuwen Rounu. Wang Gong's love affair with her Pennsylvania has since become a classic love story. After Wang Gong returned to Beijing, with the lofty righteousness of looking up to heaven and earth, he continued to write on the ground as always, "words and deeds as they were", and the "literary style" that had disappeared for many years reappeared in the central government. In the high-standard chapter competition held by the central government, Wang Gong's article stood out from more than a thousand participants and won the first prize. Sima Guang, the director of the jury, admired his insight and sharp writing very much, and repeatedly praised Wang Gong's "loyalty" in front of Su Shi, and "wrote to Gong Jian and discussed political affairs with Gong back and forth", and strongly recommended Wang Gong to be the director of the zongzheng temple office. Zongzheng temple is an institution that manages imperial affairs and genealogy, and there are not many specific businesses to deal with. Wang Gong was full of pride and wanted to serve the country, but he was idle in such a department, and he was really unwilling, so he put on a nosy chapter: According to the relevant provisions of the royal patriarchal system, the clan that was estranged from the royal blood should be called the emperor or uncle before he died, and such an honorary title should be cancelled after death. The song touched the fundamental interests of the royal family, and they colluded with the counselors to fight back madly. The counselor impeached Wang Gong for his sinister intentions and plotted to "alienate the clan." The emperor blasted him out of the capital and went to Yangzhou as vice mayor. The punishment was very light, but it seriously discouraged his enthusiasm. Wang Gong had many harvests in Pennsylvania, but none of them were ripe. He regarded the third trip to Beijing as a worse punishment than the depreciation of Pennsylvania, and he was depressed and revived, once again becoming a controversial "merry" figure. During the year-end appraisal, fans commented that he was bright and upright, made important contributions to the development of Yangzhou, and had a harmonious relationship with the members of the municipal government team; the bricklayer denounced him as having three crimes: colluding with some subordinates to exceed his authority to seek personal interests, having an extremely corrupt life style, having "juvenile transgressions", not respecting human rights and abusing lynching to cause unjust, false and wrongly decided cases; neutrals commented that he was "without fault in the official" but also had no merit, and occasionally violated discipline and violated the law; Su Shi defended Wang Gong. It was inadvertently revealed that Wang Gong, who was nearly forty years old, did make some imaginative mistakes that were "unavoidable for teenagers" during his time in Yangzhou. Wang Gong soon returned to The Capital as the Director of the State Bureau of Letters and Visits. The work of the Bureau of Letters and Visits was trivial and complicated, and Wang Gong gradually became tired and began to complain again, complaining everywhere that the work of petitioning and maintaining stability could not fully display his talents. Due to the recurrence of the "wind flow" nature, he did several wrong things in succession, and was complained about by the petitioners. After the Ministry of Supervision found out, it impeached him for "failing to follow the letter and petitioning orders to appease the masses" and drove him out of the capital for the fourth time. Wang Gong served as the mayor of Suzhou (present-day Suxian County, Anhui) for less than a year, committed the old mistake of "wind and current", had a very unpleasant quarrel with the members of the team, and was jointly impeached by colleagues and dismissed. After returning to the capital, he worked as a small official in Qingshui Yamen for several years. At the age of nearly fifty, Wang Gong was involved in the political whirlpool, was expelled from the Beijing Division for the fifth time, and was demoted to Sichuan and Hubei as a deputy of local officials, and never had the opportunity to show "wind flow" again. A few years later, the central authorities announced that, in view of Wang Gong's "exhaustiveness in writing to discuss the government and wanting to change the law of the first dynasty", it was decided to revoke all his posts and honors since he entered politics, dismiss him from public office, and escort jeonju (present-day Guilin, Guangxi) to the control of local officials. Years later, the unpredictable political situation enabled Wang Gong to rehabilitate Zhaoxue and make a comeback as vice mayor of a certain place in Henan. Later, because the traitor Cai Jing excluded dissidents and lay down the gun, he was expelled from the capital for the sixth time to "degrade Guangxi again", and has since faded out of the political arena. There are two versions of Wang Gong's whereabouts: one says that after he was demoted to Jeonju, he saw through the officialdom and life, and from then on," he "did not enjoy shijin, so he hid in the south of Xiangpu and died in Mopanshan", at the age of seventy; the other said that he returned to the Central Plains a few years later at the time of amnesty, successfully retired, and moved to Gaoyou, Jiangsu. Wang Gong's life was full of ups and downs, which was lamentable. He was born into a noble family, and his elders accumulated deep connections for him. He was bold and talented, and earned enough reputation and respect. The former prime minister spared no effort to recommend him, and the later prime minister formed a family with him out of appreciation, and many high-ranking cadres also became his fans because they deeply "loved his talents". Wang Gong's conditions for success are envied by ordinary people, and he should have shown his skills in the political arena, but he has been in the sea of eunuchs all his life, and the reasons are thought-provoking. Wang Gong's overly superior conditions were a double-edged sword that helped him achieve fame and fame, and also turned him into a greenhouse flower that could not withstand the storm. If life is slightly unhappy, he will lose himself. Living in a temple, he despised the rules of the officialdom, strictly abided by sentiments and was debauched, bold and loyal enough to show the sun and the moon, and just gave people a handle in informality, and ended up in a deep circle of right and wrong, and had the ambition to bury the barren hills. Wang Gong sounded the alarm bell for the strivers: In order to realize the ideal, "literary style" is important, but if the wandering skeleton "wind and current" and make enemies on all sides of life, then even the lofty ideal is only a mirror flower and water moon.
