In daily life, career and handling of people, a person may encounter some joint points, and at these joint points, it is necessary to correctly grasp the entry and exit points, which is called "avoiding suspicion". To put it simply, on some occasions and at this point in time, a person needs to retreat into progress. If it is not well grasped, it is easy for people to be mistaken and then controlled, destroying their reputation and cause. Such examples have existed throughout the ages, and the folk use the phrase "widows in front of the door is not much", and the interpretation of "avoiding suspicion" is the most accurate and in place.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a pair of friends who were officials, and the two were very good. One is called Tang Su, the official to the Longtu Pavilion to be controlled, known as Tang To be controlled, he is a jinshi, once served as the secretary of QinZhou, in the judgment of the prison above the speed of cracking the case, fair judgment is outstanding. One is called Ding Zhi, the Duke of Fengjin, known as the Duke of Ding Jin.
Tang Su and Ding Zhi are not only good friends in private, but also the two provinces are just opposite, and usually you come and go, so it is not lively. However, in terms of being officials, they were all Qing courtiers, that is, upright officials who did their best to do things for the imperial court and did not favor favoritism. Later, the emperor made Ding Jingong an assistant to him, and Ding's official was promoted even higher. As the old saying goes, "One man gains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven", this matter is beneficial to Tang Su, and when Tang Su knew about it, he moved his family to a secluded residence in the north of the city and left Ding Shu. Some people were strange, so they asked Tang Su, how did your house move to another place? You and Lord Ding have always been friends, and now that he has gone to the emperor's side to do things, there are people in the court who are good officials, and your future is immeasurable!
Tang Su said to the man, "That's why I want to move away." The two of us have always been friends and have a close personal relationship. Now that Lord Ding has ascended to the emperor's side, the relationship between outsiders and Lord Ding will be redefined. When I pass by Lord Ding, others will think that I am congratulating him, flattering him, and coming and going as usual, and I will fall into the reputation of climbing and surrendering to the Duke of Jin; if I don't move around like usual, others will suspect my relationship with the Duke of Jin, so I have to move away from suspicion. ”
After Jin Gong heard this, he respected Tang Su even more.
