Hundreds of officials told the story, and Nian Qianyao became the biggest winner.
Millions of taels of snowflake silver have entered the pocket, not to mention, there has been a qualitative leap in the road to the official career, from the original governor of Sichuan, was promoted to the governor of Sichuan, and became a feudal official who controls the power of life and death in a province.
Nian Qianyao was able to come to this point, although it is inseparable from the fourth in the line, but it is undeniable that Nian Qianyao before he did not float does have his own merits - he was born as a Jinshi, can be literate and martial, decisive in killing, and good at seizing the opportunity to express himself.
Not only that, Nian Qianyao is also a master who is well versed in officialdom and human feelings.
This point was vividly reflected in the offer to take Li Wei away before going to Sichuan to take up his post.
Coincidence?
There are no accidents and coincidences in this world for no reason, all coincidences are deliberately arranged, and the same is true of Li Wei and Cui'er's drilling in the grove.
After the fourth child burned down the deeds of the hundred officials, Ma Qi, the minister who stayed in the study, reported the matter to Kangxi according to his duties.
While lamenting that the rule of officials in the Qing Dynasty was so corrupt, Kangxi questioned this matter.
The point of doubt is very clear: for such a big matter, Lao Si Yinzhen not only did not invite him to play in advance, but also did not take the initiative to report it afterwards. What's even more unreasonable is that the crown prince Yinren, who is in charge of the country, and the members of the Eight Masters Party also did not move.
If you want to say that there is no story in this, Kangxi naturally doesn't believe it.
In this regard, Zhang Tingyu's suggestion was to summon one of the parties, Nian Qianyao, to Nanjing to inquire about the truth.
Then Kangxi ordered:
"Nian Qianyao was promoted to the governor of Sichuan, and asked him to go to the palace in Nanjing to see me immediately after receiving the order. ”
So here comes the question: ask if you ask, why did Kangxi suddenly want to promote Nian Qianyao?
There are two reasons involved:
First, it is used to show the acquiescence and recognition of the burning of hundreds of officials by the old four.
Regarding the description of the fourth burning of hundreds of officials, although Kangxi was skeptical, he still recognized the fourth brother's approach in his heart.
But now in order to find out the truth, he needs to summon Nian Qianyao to ask what is going on, which can easily arouse the associations of some people, thinking that he wants to investigate the responsibility or investigate the matter thoroughly, which will cause unnecessary trouble.
And the promotion of Nian Qianyao not only expressed his recognition of the fourth child's move in disguise, but also weakened the impact of the decision to summon Nian Qianyao, after all, Nian Qianyao was sealed and feuded, and it was reasonable for Kangxi to summon him according to the rules of the process.
Second, it has the meaning of beating Nian Qianyao.
The beating here is not to warn Nian Qianyao, but to let Nian Qianyao understand who is the master of the Qing Dynasty and who is the one who decides his fate - even if you are the fourth child, don't forget that you are an official of the Qing Dynasty.
In this way, it is easier to get the information you want from Nian Qianyao's mouth.
Wu Sidao saw Kangxi's move to promote Nian Qianyao very thoroughly, so when the fourth child asked about this, Wu Sidao said that what should be considered more now is not Kangxi's attitude, but how to prevent the ambitious Nian Qianyao from getting out of control:
"I'm not worried about going to the palace this time, he dares to talk nonsense, I'm worried about the future. The feudal officials, the power is in hand, and the Shu land is far away, if you poke out the basket, it will be a big trouble. The prince must take precautions. ”
Wu Sidao's way of taking precautions is to send someone to keep an eye on Nian Qianyao.
On the night when Wu Sidao made his suggestion, Li Wei and Cui'er were arrested for drilling into the grove.
Obviously, this drama of catching "early love" is a play specially performed by the fourth child for Nian Qianyao.
In other words, whether it is Li Wei asking Cui'er to meet in the middle of the night, or Sifujin asking Gao Beyong to catch early love, or tying Li Wei and Cui'er to the next year's Nian Qianyao to see the fourth child, all of this is the fourth child's arrangement.
As for the purpose, it's simple:
Without piercing the window paper, Li Wei was sent to Nian Qianyao as a matter of course to avoid the embarrassment of directly stuffing people.
After all, Nian Qianyao is already a feudal official, even if the fourth child is suspicious, it is impossible to say it on the surface, let alone do things too absolutely, which is easy to backfire.
They are all scene people, and they naturally have to pay attention to decency in doing things.
So the question is: does Nian Qianyao know that this is the fourth child's game?
Too well known!
However, he did not realize that this was a play at the beginning, but discovered it through a detail.
Performance moments
The next day, Nian Qianyao went to the old fourth mansion to resign according to the rules, and listened to the leader's explanation for his Nanjing trip.
Before he saw the fourth child, Nian Qianyao saw Li Wei and Cui'er who were tied up in the yard. was about to ask the reason, but Gao Beiyong, who had been "waiting" for a long time, appeared in time to give an answer.
Knowing that Li Wei and Cui'er were punished for drilling in the grove, Nian Qianyao teased him and said that he could help the two of them plead for mercy, but as for whether it would work or not, he didn't dare to guarantee it.
At this time, Nian Qianyao didn't realize that this was a scene, and it wasn't until he saw Sifujin sitting next to the fourth child that Nian Qianyao understood that there was a story in it.
Why?
Because in the past, the fourth child gave him tasks or arranged work, and it was always one-on-one, even if there was someone next to him, only Wu Sidao or the thirteenth child would never talk about business in front of the fourth fortune, especially this kind of thing involving the battle for succession.
After all, Sifujin is a woman in the back house, and it is reasonable to participate in family affairs, so letting her participate in "official affairs" or auditing is obviously not in line with the character of the fourth child and the rules of the fourth master's mansion.
It was also the appearance of Sifujin's "unreasonableness" that made Nian Qianyao realize that the matter between Li Wei and Cui'er was likely to come at him.
After all, Li Wei was arrested by Sifujin, and the fourth wanted to release him, and he wanted to inform Sifujin out of respect, and now that the deity was on the scene, it was unclear to tell Nian Qianyao, you quickly plead with Li Wei.
As for why the fourth child arranged this play, Nian Qianyao knew it.
Bloodbathed Jiangxia Town, he embezzled millions of silver, and did not report it to the fourth child, and the fourth child who reacted was bound to be dissatisfied. Now that he has been promoted to the governor of Sichuan, it is normal for the fourth child to be suspicious and wary of him.
In other words, Nian Qianyao knew that the fourth child arranged this drama so that he could take Li Wei to Sichuan and monitor his every move.
So knowing this, why did Nian Qianyao take the initiative to take Li Wei away?
This is Nian Qianyao's shrewdness.
Judging from the situation at that time, the probability of the fourth child winning the championship is the largest.
The position of the crown prince Yinren is in jeopardy, and there is still a letter that is enough to make him invalid again in the hands of the fourth child; although the eighth child is popular and powerful, after the discussion of the new prince, Kangxi's attitude is already very clear, and it is impossible to let the eighth child take the throne.
In this case, he naturally will not have the idea of changing the court, not only will he not, but he will also try his best to show loyalty to the fourth child, dispel the dissatisfaction and suspicion in the hearts of the leader, consolidate and deepen the relationship with the leader, and then get greater support and help.
After all, he has no better choice except for the fourth, and only by following the fourth closely will his career path have greater development.
And Nian Qianyao's original plan was to show his loyalty by asking the fourth child for Buddha beads, telling the fourth child that he was willing to become the fourth child's knife and dark side, and he could clear all obstacles for the fourth child by any means.
Now that he found out that the fourth child arranged the affairs of Li Wei and Cui'er, he just took advantage of the situation and gave the fourth child a reassurance, which led to Nian Qianyao's wonderful performance.
After the fourth child explained how to play Jiangxia Town to Kangxi Chen, Nian Qianyao sincerely asked the fourth child for Li Wei:
"Please hand over Li Wei and Cui'er to the minions. ”
After listening, the fourth child first glanced at Sifujin who was sitting on the side, and then asked:
"Why, the dog pleaded with you?"
The fourth child's reaction made Nian Qianyao more sure of his guess, so he replied:
"Yes. The slave didn't intercede for him, the slave thought, although Li Wei is not very rude, but he is loyal to his master, and he is also clever, and the slave will be able to serve the master in the future. ”
Nian Qianyao's reply is very ingenious-
There is a question involved here: Does the fourth child know that Nian Qianyao has already guessed his intentions?
Know!
As soon as Nian Qianyao opened his mouth, the fourth child knew that Nian Qianyao guessed that this was a scene, otherwise it was enough to ask for mercy, and there was no need to directly propose to take Li Wei away.
is also because he knew that Nian Qianyao's move was cooperating with acting, and then showing loyalty to himself, the fourth child would understand, and glanced at Nian Qianyao with a slight smile-
Immediately, the fourth child Gao Beyong loosened the ties to Li Wei and Cui'er, and gave this favor to Nian Qianyao:
"Lord Nian has interceded with you, and he is willing to take you to Sichuan. You guys pick up and pick up, and let's go on the road with Nian Nian today. ”
And Li Wei, who was immersed in the script, did not forget the performance task at this time, and cried bitterly that he would stay by the side of the fourth child even if he died.
It wasn't until Sifujin said that he talked about the rules of the house, and ordered Gao Beyong to go to the account room to pay the money and buy belongings for Li Wei and Cui'er, that this tacit drama came to an end, and the fourth child and Nian Qianyao both achieved their original goals.
From this point of view, this big scene, except for Cui'er who really didn't know about it, everyone else had already got the script.
As for Nian Qianyao, although there is no such thing in his script, for the sake of the future and in order to show loyalty to the fourth child, he is willing to take the initiative to add this scene to himself.
Nian Qianyao's textbook-level demonstration
From a certain point of view, the situation that Nian Qianyao is facing is also a problem that we may encounter in the workplace or in the system in real life - being suspicious of the leader, or not being trusted by the leader.
For this problem, according to the response method, there may be the following situations:
1. A novice who is just starting out in the workplace.
If you don't understand the dangers and realities of the workplace, you don't see the suspicion and distrust of the leader at all, and you don't have the awareness of this, so you won't have any countermeasures.
The advantage of this is that you can stay away from intrigue and live freely, but the disadvantage is that the promotion and salary increase are all other people's, and no matter how much you do, the pay is not proportional to the gain.
2. Negative response.
I saw it, and I also felt the suspicion of the leader, and my first reaction was grievance, dissatisfaction, and resentment, and I was always immersed in emotions, and I faced this matter passively and passively, and I would not take the initiative to deal with it.
3. Actively respond.
I have the experience of "hitting the south wall", and I have a certain understanding of the way of the workplace and the sophistication of people. If you find that you are suspicious of your leaders, you will focus on how to deal with it as soon as possible and curb problems that are not conducive to your own development in a timely manner.
Obviously, Nian Qianyao belongs to the last type, and his approach is worthy of our reference and reference.
First of all, we need to be clear that it is a normal state to be suspicious or distrustful of leaders. After all, the relationship between leaders and subordinates is a very delicate relationship, and there is no such thing as being indestructible.
This is also the reason why in the face of the fourth child's game, Nian Qianyao did not have any dissatisfaction or anger, but took advantage of the situation to ask Li Wei to dispel the suspicion and doubts of the fourth child.
Secondly, in the face of the suspicion of the leader, it cannot be explained directly, let alone the problem can be clarified. Because once it is clear, it will not only appear that the leader is narrow-minded, but also hurt the leader's self-esteem, after all, suspicion comes from feeling uncontrollable.
This kind of way of using one's own open-mindedness to reflect the narrowness of leadership is a big taboo, and it is easy to be self-defeating.
This is also the reason why Nian Qianyao knew that this was a play, but he was willing to cooperate with the next performance.
Finally, look for opportunities to turn reactive into proactive.
Since it cannot be explained directly, it is necessary to find an appropriate time and use appropriate methods to dispel the suspicion of the leader. For example, take the initiative to expose your weaknesses and shortcomings, so that the leader feels that you are under his control, such as showing that you "want" from the leader, and dispel the leader's suspicion from the perspective of the community of interests......
Nian Qianyao's way of asking the fourth child for a bracelet cannot be copied, but you can refer to its underlying logic - through inadvertent trivial things and small appeals, to achieve the purpose and effect of the statement.
It was with these three points that Nian Qianyao successfully stabilized the fourth child and paved the way for the subsequent promotion of the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.
On the contrary, if he didn't dispel the fourth child's doubts this time, then even if he was the best choice, out of suspicion and defense, the fourth child might not have pushed him so high, or he would have already started to cultivate Nian Qianyao's replacement in advance.
After all, Maxima often exists, but Bole does not. There are many talented people, but there are not many talented people who are willing to promote and reuse talented people.
epilogue
I've always liked the saying that there is a kind of winning in this world, and we are entitled to choose our own life.
If we don't actively choose life, we will be chosen by life. If we don't have the ability to control our lives, we can only be controlled by others, and we have no power to fight back.
Life is never obligated to give us what we want. What we can do is to rely on our brains and hands to get what we want, so that we are qualified to choose our own lives.
Qingxin Junyue, read other people's stories, and live your own life. Warm you with words, me.
