    "Master, there is no need for you to waste so much time on offering wine to this powerless Imperial College. šI" On the way back to Pingyang Marquis Mansion, Sima Qian expressed his opinion. A child who has been deeply exposed to high-level officials since childhood also understands  Analyzing the level of power, the seemingly innocent little boy is actually full of his own opinions. He usually has no one to communicate with. His peers are childish and ridiculous, and adults are not interested in listening to him. As soon as Cao Shi comes back, he talks about his own opinions.  All opinions are poured out.  This kind of attitude is common. Cao Shi once commented on him: Living with good people is like entering a house of orchid for a long time without smelling its fragrance. Living with unkind people is like entering a house of abalone for a long time without smelling its smell. Living with unkind people is like staying with abalone for a long time without smelling its smell.  When red is close to ink, it becomes black.  The Pingyang Marquis Mansion is adjacent to the bureaucratic aristocratic circle of Chang'an City, and all those who are welcomed and sent to are those high-ranking officials. Even if I hear a few words from the entourage of the high-ranking official, the influence on the three views becomes more obvious as time goes by. Fortunately, Sima Qian received  The negative impact was corrected in time. Cao Shi returned to the Hou Mansion and vigorously rectified the atmosphere. He strictly ordered the Hou Mansion not to receive any guests, so that this unhealthy trend was eliminated.  At this moment, he heard that Sima Qian was back to his old ways, and Cao Shi immediately made severe criticism: "Qian'er, you are wrong again. People in the world look at the level of power with a philistine perspective, but they don't know that there is no permanent power in the world. Look at the Xia Dynasty in the past.  The sage kings of the Shang and Zhou dynasties were high in the sky and the divine realm, but do their dynasties still exist now? Even if the sage kings of all ages are like this, let alone the rise and fall of a few civil servants and generals like us. Power is only temporary, and it does not only determine your status in life.  It¡¯s about power, but about your ideals and ambitions and your ability to realize them.¡± Sima Qian shook his head in confusion, his astonished expression revealing his incomprehension.  Obviously the spoken language should be very easy to understand, so why is the vernacular written from the master's mouth so difficult to understand.  Cao Shi smiled slightly: "For example, now I am serving as a cavalry general. Decades ago, there was a relative, Bo Zhao, who was also a cavalry general. I am the leader of the princes. Bo Zhao is Taizong's uncle, and apart from other factors, it does not count as a powerful position.  It¡¯s hard to tell Xuan Yu, but how can my historical status be compared to that of Bo Zhao? This is the difference. What I can do in the same position, Bo Zhao can¡¯t do.¡± ¡°What does this have to do with Wei Wan?¡±  "Of course it does matter. The level of achievement has nothing to do with the level of authority. Back then, as a Taizhong doctor with a rank higher than Qianshi, I could advise the late emperor to change his ways and give preferential treatment to military meritorious officials. Wei Wan, as an imperial scholar, offered wine. The former prime minister always had more energy than  The Taizhong doctor is much more senior, not to mention that Taixue Jijiu has the largest talent pool in the world. Even though Jijiu is not the prime minister with all the power, my good communication with Jijiu only has advantages and no disadvantages. Remember to be good at summarizing lessons and always be careful.  Don't listen to the rumors of the villains in the market. All power and status are empty. What if Tian Fugui is a relative and becomes a Taiwei? It's better to leave his job and live idle. " Cao Shi patiently sorted out the correct political values ????for Sima Qian, using the simplest and most crude way.  Looking at political rise and fall without the power and position of others will only lead to misjudgment.  Take the Dou family, which was very prosperous more than ten years ago. Since the death of Empress Dowager Bo in the early days of Emperor Jing's reign, the Dou family has been in its heyday. At that time, many people were proud to serve under the Dou family system. This trend has never stopped.  The early period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty lasted until the early period of the reign of Emperor Sheng of the present day.  The Dou family has been in power for a total of sixteen or seventeen years.  The powerful position was second only to Empress Lu's family in twenty-six years and Empress Dowager Bo's family in twenty-three years. Such a huge family fell apart in the blink of an eye and was wiped out.  Empress Dowager Dou Yifang, a strong political woman who had experienced several political turmoils since the founding of the Han Dynasty, was rushed to Linguang Palace to retire. The Dou family's flagship figure, Princess Guantao, was almost wiped out.  The two main relatives of the Dou family, Nanpi Marquis Dou Pengzu and Zhangwu Marquis Dou Wan, completely lost their power. At that time, the powerful landowners and officials who had taken refuge in their names were all dumbfounded.  ¡°Political turmoil comes so quickly.  So much so that those who failed to respond could only watch their own interests collapse. I don¡¯t know how many people beat their chests and cursed that investing in the Dou family was the stupidest behavior in their lives. But who can deny that the Emperor was in his prime at that time?  The Queen Mother is the best choice.  The Wang and Tian families are also an example. Their rapid rise and collapse were astonishing, with tall buildings crumbling almost overnight. The gathered power interest groups completely collapsed before they could fully activate the huge chain. Although the Wang and Tian families remained the same.  No relatives of the Dou family were killed, but the impact of the loss of power was far greater than the impact of Bo Zhao's suicide.  Sima Qian realized something: "A temporary rise does not mean long-term success. Master, are you trying to tell me this truth?" "A relative is only a short-term stepping stone used by the imperial power to achieve its goals. When the role of a relative is no longer obvious, he will be ruthlessly eliminated.  Giving up and hoping that the emperor will recognize family ties cannot stabilize power. The most you can achieve is peace and wealth for the rest of your life. The former glorious relatives of the Dou family and the now half-dead relatives of the Wangtian family are all such people.The carriage turned a corner and gradually slowed down. The familiar fields and villagers bowed to the carriage. The villagers recognized Pingyang Hou's carriage and loved the benevolent monarch from the bottom of their hearts.  Wei Qing had been waiting in the Marquis Mansion for a long time. When he saw Cao, he saluted quickly: "Wei Qing, greeting the Marquis!"  "No, no, I was born in a Hou family. Without the strong promotion of the monarch, there would be no prosperity and wealth today. My sister specifically asked me to maintain the etiquette of the Hou family when I see the monarch.  I deeply agree. " Wei Qing wanted to use the bow ceremony to meet him, but Cao Shi refused to let him perform the complete ceremony. The two sides stayed in a stalemate for a long time, and it was obvious that Cao Shi was the stronger one, so he pulled him up in twos and twos: "Chang.  Marquis Ping, please don¡¯t make the mistake of yourself. You are a popular person in front of the emperor, and I am just a general guarding the border counties. You and I should not have too much contact. It is not appropriate to make any big gifts and express gratitude. This is not appropriate for you.  It's not good for me. If I were you, I would immediately turn around and leave Pingyang Hou Mansion, and then forget everything about this place. Do you understand?" "Jun Hou" Cao Shi's eyes opened in anger, and his voice was unconscious.  Raising the tone twice: "Hou Changping, haven't you woke up yet? After all, the relationship between you and I can no longer be the same as before. Be smart and put away the previous kindness and gratitude. Pretending to be unfamiliar with the relationship is generally what you should do. Today  After you leave the Marquis' Mansion, you are not allowed to mention me in front of anyone. When your sister Wei Zifu becomes the Queen, you and I must become strangers in order to live in peace with each other, otherwise" "You are serious about your words, I think.  It's not like" "You don't believe in evil, do you? Have you forgotten how Zhou Yafu died? If you don't believe me, I will be the next Zhou Yafu, and you will be the next Bo Zhao. What awaits you and me is death.  "Every word weighs as much as a thousand pieces."  Wei Qing was shaken by the four words, and his whole body trembled. His face turned pale and he said in horror: "How could it be possible? Your Majesty is nothow could it be!" Cao Shi pointed to the roof: "God's grace is like the sea, God's power is like prison, God's will is unpredictable,  "Do you understand?" "Understand!" Wei Qing lowered his head and said in frustration.  "Remember that you must hide everything and never tell anyone about it again. Remember to be wary of people with ulterior motives who are trying to make innuendo. Pretending to be difficult is the best way to avoid it. In the future, I will tell you the specific method from person to person. Go ahead.  ! After leaving this house, we are strangers." Wei Qing's chest was like an old bellows, and he raised his head with clenched fists: "Junhou" Cao Shi had already turned his back and no longer looked at him.  Marquis Ping went into the palace and quietly repeated my words to your sister. She will understand what should be done. Other than that, I don't want to say anything to you. " Wei Qing turned around and walked to the door and stopped again: "There will be more in the future.  Is there a chance? I want to say that in the future" "No one knows the future, do your part right now, don't think too much about it, don't ask too much, leave the future to the future, maybe one day  It's coming silently, but before that you must remember those twelve words." "God's grace is like the sea, God's power is like prison, and God's will is unpredictable." "Wei Qing is gone.  The young Marquis Changping could not understand everything at present, and he rushed back to Pingyang Marquis Mansion to share his happiness. What he received was not the warm reception he imagined, but a series of incomprehensible warnings and determinations. He took it with him.  Confused and dazed, he left the home that left him with beautiful memories.  Just as Cao Shi said, no matter how nice the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is, it is not his home. Wei Qing's home is the Changping Marquis Mansion given by the emperor. He should return to that new home to enjoy the emperor's gifts to the fullest. The more he enjoys, the more he proves that he is the emperor.  The gifted house is more meaningful. The emperor should use the gifts to constantly tell the young Marquis Changping that there is only one person you should be grateful to, and it must be one person, and that is the emperor Liu Che.  The heroes and generals of the imperial court can only have one master, and it must be the emperor who is sitting in Weiyang Palace. The small favors shown by Pingyang Marquis Cao cannot be compared with the generous gifts from the imperial court. In the final analysis, it is the emperor who values ??Wei Zifu and transforms her from a song singer.  Ji was selected as a beauty and wife in the palace. In the final analysis, the emperor valued Wei Zifu's younger brother Wei Qing, so he allowed the cavalry general Cao Shi to take Wei Qing as his deputy.  Without the emperor's favor, everything Wei Zifu and Wei Qing get is just a dream. The emperor must enjoy the gratitude of these two sisters to be satisfied. If they don't do well enough to satisfy the emperor, what will happen?  Very scary thing.  Wei Zifu is indeed smarter than Wei Qing. He immediately woke up and made a decision after receiving Wei Qing's timely reminder. The Wei family sisters quickly discussed their attitude towards their former master. Under the principle of "don't talk, don't listen, don't tell", they tried their best to  Treat the past of Pingyang Marquis Mansion as non-existent, and would rather pretend to be ungratefulNo one can let the emperor feel even a little bit of reluctance for the Wei family sisters and brothers to let go of the past.  Taiyi Temple, quiet room, faintly heard chanting in the distance.  Liu Kuan took Wei Zifu's hand and gently comforted him: "This is a helpless choice, this is the guidance of fate. Don't be sad, don't regret, and may God Taiyi bless you." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, novels  Better updates faster!
