    In the 19th year of Kangxi's reign, during the turbulent time in the south of the Yangtze River, a man returned to the capital all the way to report to the Ministry of Personnel, cancel his leave, and wait for candidates to become officials.  (eng.com) I saw that person¡¯s name, Li Guangdi, in a by-election brochure submitted by Emperor Kangxi to the Ministry of Officials.

    Kangxi was deeply impressed by this person. In the past, the characters of Li Guangdi and Xiong Cilu often appeared in Qing operas. However, Kangxi did not see these two people in the memorandum of serving upright officials in his hand. Only after some insinuation did he find out that it turned out that a leader  One was kept employed, the other was fired.

    In the ninth year of Kangxi, when Li Guangdi was 28 years old, he passed the scientific examination and became a Jinshi. He was selected as a Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy and officially entered his official career.  However, the Beijing officials in the Hanlin Academy were extremely low-ranking. They were only office administrative clerks who kept files, lectured on classics and history.  Li Guangdi felt a little depressed after working for three years, so he took an annual leave to go back to his hometown to visit relatives.

    At that time, the "San Francisco Rebellion" started. Li Guangdi happened to be on vacation in his hometown of Anxi, Fujian. Geng Jingzhong, the king of Jingnan, was raising troops in Fuzhou, and Zheng Jing led his troops to occupy Liquanzhou. The two underworld brothers sent headhunters to poach Li Guangdi.  Li Guangdi was full of knowledge and not stupid, so how could he leave a large state-owned enterprise to change jobs without waiting, so he decisively refused.

    At that time, the situation in Fujian was in chaos. Li Guangdi and a large family of relatives hid in the mountains and could not escape.  After all, Li Guangdi was an official registered with the imperial court. He was afraid that the fact that he was in the enemy's war zone would be misunderstood, so he quickly wrote an emotional memorial and sealed it in a wax pill.  I am in Cao's camp and my heart is in the red heart of Han.  arrive

    Kangxi also saw the sparse wax pills when looking through the archives, and admired Li Guangdi's intelligence very much.  Lao Li is not only able to judge the times and the world, have a broad mind, but also has excellent literary talent. The content of his memorials is detailed and informative, and every word is exquisite.

    Li Guangdi first expressed his loyalty by stating the fact that "I refused even to the point of death, but fortunately, I have not insulted the imperial court by slandering my integrity so far."  Secondly, it describes the specific situation in Fujian where "two thieves have ravaged the country, the war has been endless, the vertebrae have been peeled off, the people have been greatly devastated, and the thieves' power has been exhausted."

    Then Li Guangdi proposed to the emperor a military strategy to defeat the enemy and win, "Xianxiadi connects Zhejiang, Quzhou and other places, Shangguan connects Jiangxi, Guangxin and other places, Zhang and Chaozhou connect Huizhou, Guangcheng and other places, the local economics of these three places  The troops to be controlled are hidden deep in the strong walls, and the bluff is enough to control Jisu. As for the Ting and Gan dynasties, it is advisable to select more than 10,000 or 78,000 elite soldiers because of the sparse defense of thieves, and deceive them into the troops entering Guangzhou, Taoist scriptures  Ganzhou, then turned to Tingjie. It took seven or eight days from Ganzhou to Tingzhou, and from Tingzhou to Fuzhou and Quancheng, it would take more than a month. When the two thieves heard about it, the army entered Fujian for a long time. This is called avoiding the truth.  Hitting the weak, the lightning is not as fast as covering one's ears. "

    The last paragraph is particularly classic. Kangxi was very happy after reading it. Li Guangdi once again confessed his feelings to the emperor and wrote generously, " I have long been a fan bird and a chicken in soup. However, my heart is so bright that I still see the sun.  Fortunately, just in case. If there is something to be found, Fuqi Ruijian will perform his duties in the midst of adversity. He will lose his integrity and look up to the holy light for illumination."

    This is by no means an ordinary flattery. This is a very high-level and high-quality flattery. If Kangxi was also a minister, he would inevitably record this excerpt and share it with Master Wei's "Yao, Shun, and Yu Tang, Wen Cheng Wude, Ze"  By the common people, for thousands of yearsit will be used as a cheat sheet template.

    ¡­¡­

    As the next few years passed, Li Guangdi stayed in Fujian and worked with Geng Jingzhong's subordinates like a lurker. He used local connections to deliver confidential information to the Qing court and tried his best to help the troops of Prince Kang, the ordered general, win the war.  At that time, Prince Kang wrote in a letter that "Guangdi is determined to serve the country and has been unswerving. It is appropriate to praise him."

    The emperor highly praised Li Guangdi's loyalty and loyalty in the enemy-occupied areas, and specially ordered the officials to discuss it in a favorable manner.  In the summer of the 16th year of Kangxi's reign, when Li Guangdi was still repairing in Fujian, the ministerial meeting resulted in the appointment of an additional promotion to the rank of bachelor's degree, and the emperor specially ordered that "Li Guangdi be promoted to the rank of bachelor's degree," which was probably from the original administrative clerk's position.  Three poles are promoted directly to administrative manager.  After Li Guangdi came to Beijing and took up his post, he was greatly favored by the emperor.

    Li Guangdi was thirty years old and his career had reached the level of a manager. Just when he was in high spirits, he had to return to his hometown due to his father's death and Ding You was forced to stay in the system. This delay lasted another three years.  Filial piety comes first among all good deeds, and the ancients attached great importance to this.  If an official wants to be secure in his position, the health of his parents is very important.  Even if you are an official in a different place, even if you cannot honor your parents personally, you will often send your daughter-in-law to serve in front of your parents-in-law. Those who have grandchildren may leave the third generation to stay with their grandparents to support them

    "Providing support to one's parents is an obligation that must be fulfilled in terms of etiquette, law, humanity, and morality, especially for court officials.  If your official fortune is going well, but something unexpected happens at home, and you are required by law to return to your hometown for Dingyou, your official position will be like a carrot and a trap. If you wait until the period of filial piety is over and you come back to report, then you will have to be a non-staff member waiting for a replacement.  If there are no connections and connections, it is very possible to grow old idle.

    Li Guangdi happened to be in his official careerDuring his promotion period, he encountered such an embarrassing situation and had to return to his hometown of Anxi, Quanzhou to stay for three years.  However, he was really capable and would seize opportunities. In the 17th year of Kangxi's reign, the White Scarf Army invaded Anxi, while Zheng Jing occupied cities all along the coast of Fujian and also sent troops to besiege Quanzhou.

    At that time, Li Guangdi had considerable status, reputation and connections in his hometown in Anxi. He recruited more than a hundred local warriors to guard the dangerous points and tried his best to protect the river. He later led the army to defeat Zheng's army and lifted the siege of Quanzhou. His achievements were very reliable.  Local officials recommended talents to the imperial court, and Li Guangdi was awarded the bachelor's degree. After completing his service, he went to Beijing to fill any vacancies.  This is a huge advantage. The by-election order is at the top, and the selection of officials is a sure result.

    But Li Guangdi was very politically savvy. At that time, he wrote a memorial to the emperor, refused to accept the title of bachelor, and greatly belittled his achievements.  Chinese people like to be modest and cautious, which is probably inherited from ancient times. Upper-level leaders often don't like subordinates to express themselves too much. Even if they are really capable, they will only praise them to six or seven points at most.  Therefore, the emperor at that time was very dissatisfied with Li Guangdi's approach of retreating in order to advance. He was particularly impressed with him and still awarded Li Guangdi the bachelor's degree.

    ¡­¡­

    In August of the 19th year of Kangxi's reign, Li Guangdi went to Beijing to serve his mother.  Although Emperor Kangxi had changed his mind at this time, he was still a wise emperor who was only suitable for his talents. He had experienced a lot in the modern workplace and was accustomed to seeing the world. He also admired his subordinates who had brains, skills, and shrewdness.  Of course, he is willing to give Li Guangdi a practical job.

    However, at that time, there was also a limit on the number of cabinet bachelors. The official document submitted by the Ministry of Civil Affairs clearly stated: Sorry, the carrot pits are full now, and if there are vacancies, priority must be given to filling them.  But everyone also understands the meaning behind the scenes: to stay healthy without getting sick, to flatter the emperor well, to say less and make fewer mistakes, to stand in a good team, to be filial to your parents and not to worry Who would resign voluntarily and find a vacancy  Mr. Huang Ji, the old minister, is over seventy years old and still insists on going to work every day. Just wait.
