Cai Ze in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because he was born with an iron mouth that was good at flickering, created a workplace myth from an unemployed wanderer to the Qin State.
Before entering qin, Cai Ze ran around in the workplaces of various princely states for a long time, and no one paid attention to him. Just when Cai Ze was considering where to try his luck at his next stop, he was excited by a piece of good news from the Qin Kingdom. The Prince of Hedong Taishou recommended by Fan Ju, the Chancellor of the State of Qin, was chopped up by King Qin Zhao because he was suspected of rebellion. And another red man beside Fan Xiangguo, Zheng Anping, had previously succeeded Bai Qi in leading troops to attack Zhao, but was defeated and besieged, and Commander Zheng did not eat the immediate loss, and simply led 20,000 soldiers to surrender to Zhao Guo. These two people treasoned against the enemy, and Fan Ju, as xiangguo, had an unshirkable leadership responsibility, and should be blamed for resigning. However, Qin Zhaowang Nian was exempt from being held accountable for Fan Ju's diligent and earnest help of his own officials over the years. The sin was spared, but Fan Ju's trust had been greatly reduced by King Qin Zhao. Maybe one day King Qin Zhaowang was not happy, turning over the ledger to settle old accounts, Fan Ju would not have to live.
After carefully analyzing Fan Ju's situation, Cai Ze knew that his opportunity had come. So, he went straight to the Qin State as fast as he could. On the way, he was not idle, and whenever he said, "Hey, do you know no, there is a man named Cai Ze who is going to the Qin Kingdom." As soon as he arrived, the King of Qin would definitely hand over the position of Xiangguo to him, and then Fan Ju should roll up and leave. ”
Although this Thunderman slogan is not written on a blog, it is not at all as fast as the Internet. Cai Zeren had not yet arrived in the Qin Kingdom, and this sentence had already blown into Fan Ju's ears. Fan Ju was depressed about the affairs of his subordinates Wang Ji and Zheng Anping, and when he heard that Cai Ze wanted to empty his gloves and white wolf and take his place, he was very angry and curious: What is this Cai Ze character, who wants to grab food on Lao Tzu's territory, is his brain in the water? Therefore, Cai Ze's front foot had just arrived in the Qin Kingdom, and the back foot was "invited" to the Xiangguo Mansion by Fan Ju. Fan Xiangguo sat on top of the high hall, full of officialdom: "I heard that you want to take my place?" Cai Ze was also not polite: "Yes! Fan Ju was so angry that he almost didn't jump up from his chair: "You boy doesn't take a mirror to look at, just by virtue of your monkey look, you can also be a country?" ”
Cai Ze was very calm: "Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons change." According to the principle of time operation, you are old and you should retire! Fan Ju slapped the table fiercely: "Whether you can retreat or not is my business, I don't need you to worry about it!" Cai Ze arched his hand: "Xiang Guo's words are different!" Don't look at your current scenery, but the potential risk is great, there are few people in history who have done well in this position and have died well, and there are a lot of people who have died unjustly. Let's say that your colleague Bai Qi, his contribution to the hegemony of the Qin Kingdom is not less than yours, and in the end he was not killed by the King of Qin? Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that his prestige is still very good and the leader is not annoying, he takes the initiative to retire, not only to keep his reputation, but also to enjoy the full pension, why not enjoy it? ”
Cai Ze laid out the facts, reasoned, and said that the head was the Tao, and had to let Fan Ju think: If the merit is great, it will shock the lord, and if the official is long, he will provoke the jealousy of his colleagues. If you take this opportunity to leave, it is really a good choice.
After figuring it out, Fan Ju decided to retire immediately. A few days later, Fan Ju brought the "iron mouth" Cai Ze to Qin Zhaowang, first praised it, and then handed in two reports: his resignation application and the personnel report recommending Cai Ze's succession. The person recommended by the Minister of State, King Qin Zhao, naturally had to pay attention. After he interviewed Cai Ze, he felt that this comrade was not bad, so he made him vice premier, but did not sign Fan Ju's resignation report. Fan Ju stopped working, and handed in a second resignation report, saying that he was not in good health, could not hold the main position of the state, and wanted to go home to recuperate. King Zhao of Qin finally approved Fan Ju's request for resignation, and at the same time appointed Cai Ze as Xiangguo to succeed Fan Ju.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was a paradise for the Zhongheng family, and there were many people who were knighted by virtue of an iron mouth, but there was no one like Cai Ze who "said" the current minister of state Fan Ju, and replaced him. What is even more amazing is that Fan Ju resigned willingly, and recommending Cai Ze was also from the heart.
