"Later, a local upright squire sponsored Wang Ying to go to Beijing to take the exam.
He lived up to everyone's hopes and was the number one scholar in high school.
However, because he did not send gifts to the officials in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he had to be sent to a remote and poor place by the court.
He became a small county magistrate.
"Ah, so to speak, Wang Ying must be in a low mood after suffering such a great injustice.
As such a small county magistrate, and also a small official with parents in a remote and poor place, when will he be able to improve the governance of the country?
Datian listens."
After hearing what the master said, Xin Yun felt aggrieved for Wang Ying.
"Since ancient times, noble people have suffered many hardships.
If a person does not go through hardships, how can he face more difficult moments.
Wang Ying's will is as strong as iron.
He served as the county magistrate in that remote and impoverished place and worked conscientiously for five years.
After His governance, in the past This barbaric land gradually became prosperous.
The local people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and everyone passed on Wang Ying's merits.
Soon the opportunity finally came, and Wang Ying encountered the first turning point in his life."
When Master Qingfeng said this, Xin Yun endured.
Keep asking questions.
"Master, something big must have happened in the court," Xin Yun asked.
"Yes, it is recorded in the Wordless Heavenly Book that there was a severe drought in the north and the people's morale was unstable.
Wang Ying led the people to repair the irrigation canals as early as when he took office.
So when the drought came, other states and counties could only wait for the court to The county where Wang Ying is located has the previous irrigation canal and started mutual rescue.
Not only did there not be any refugees, but it also helped the surrounding counties."
Master Qingfeng said slowly.
"Master, could it be that Wang Ying made great achievements this time?"
Xin Yun asked.
"It is actually the job of the parents to appease the people.
The gang of treacherous ministers in the court can describe Wang Ying's contribution as the result of the emperor's grace in just a few words.
So just relying on these achievements to calm the people is not enough.
It makes Wang Ying stand out."
Master Qingfeng knew in his heart that Xin Yun thought of officialdom too simply.
In his view, meritorious service will definitely lead to rewards and promotions.
"Master, has Wang Ying made new achievements?"
Xin Yun always liked to listen to stories, especially when he heard that there was a turning point, he would keep asking questions.
"Of course, it just happened.
The Mongolian tribes on the border heard that several counties on the border were suffering from severe drought, so they united together and repeatedly raised troops to invade the border.
They wanted to take advantage of the Central Plains court's critical moment to attack cities and seize territory.
After grabbing some things, they negotiated with the Han emperor.
They made good plans, but to their surprise, Wang Ying stood up and turned the tide, leading the soldiers and civilians of the county and surrounding counties to fight hard.
He resisted and finally defended the peace of the border.
Now Wang Ying's contribution was famous all over the world.
Those conservative ministers who wanted to suppress him had no excuses.
The reformist ministers immediately stood up for Wang Ying.
From then on, Wang Ying began.
After a few years of promotion, Wang Ying became an important minister in the court and the backbone of the reform faction.
"Qingfeng held the book and continued to talk about it. record.

"It's true that all the hard work has been rewarded.
It's admirable that a man has the thoughts of serving the country and the people, but he can also carry out his grand plans and save the building from falling."
Xin Yun said with emotion at the side.
"Yes, this is what a man should do.
Wang Ying took the risk of offending officials all over the world, promoted advantages and eliminated disadvantages, and finally allowed the continuation of the Ming Dynasty.
However, due to the abnormal succession of the old and new emperors, he died unjustly at the hands of the new emperor.
When the emperor was old, he finally rehabilitated Wang Ying and awarded him the posthumous title of Bachelor of Tengyun."
Qingfeng couldn't help but lament Wang Ying's misfortune.
"It's such a pity that a good official who served the country and the people would end up like this."
Xin Yun also felt aggrieved for Wang Ying.
"Wang Kui's father, Wang Ying, is just the beginning of this family's tragic story.
The person we are paying attention to gradually begins to emerge."
Master Qingfeng said to Xin Yun calmly.
"Master, are you talking about Wang Kui's uncle?"
Xin Yun asked.
"Exactly, Wang Kui's uncle Cao's surname is Fan" Master Qingfeng has not yet said it.
Xin Yun immediately replied, "The surname is Pei, right?"
Master Qingfeng smiled and praised, "Very good.
It seems that you have deeply remembered my teacher's teachings in your heart."
Qingfeng understood that Xin Yun must have paid attention to the mother of Wang Kui's mother, Wang Pei, on the tablet.
It is not difficult to see from this that Xin Yun has observed all the details, but his ability to string together all the details and analyze them is still lacking.
In any case, the apprentice is always improving, and as a master, he should give encouragement. .
"Master, Wang Kui's Yin Cao uncle is called Pei" Xin Yun continued to ask.
"His name is Pei Yan.
He and his sister have been dependent on each other since childhood.
Later, her sister married Wang Ying.
Under the guidance of this diligent and upright brother-in-law, Pei Yan took the imperial examination early and passed the Jinshi.
With the strong recommendation of his brother-in-law Wang Ying, Pei Yan soon He became a fourth-grade water transport envoy," Master Qingfeng said slowly to Xin Yun.
"The water transport envoy is a real official."
Xin Yun said with emotion after listening to his master Qingfeng's words.
"How do you know?"
Master Qingfeng asked in surprise, because water transportation has been declining in this dynasty, and the prosperity before is no longer there.
"Master, you don't know that our hometown is on the edge of the Grand Canal.
There is a nursery rhyme that has been circulated in the village for generations, so the disciple knows that the Water Transport Envoy is a real official."
Xin Yun said excitedly.
"Tell Master about that nursery rhyme."
Master Qingfeng asked.
"Water transport envoys, water transport envoys, those who are rich and have the power to pull golden shit."
Xin Yun said to his master Qingfeng the few lines about the water transport envoys from the nursery rhyme.
"Although the words are a bit indecent, it at least shows that most of the water transport envoys live a life of extravagance and debauchery.
It can be said that they are fat servants in the officialdom."
Master Qingfeng said with a smile after hearing this.
"Master, did Pei Yan also rely on his brother-in-law's power to enrich himself in the position of water transport envoy?"
Xin Yun asked.
"Exactly not.

Ever since he entered the officialdom, he has been deeply influenced by his brother-in-law Wang Ying.
He never competed with the public for profit, but inevitably offended some people.
Those people took advantage of the opportunity of his brother-in-law being framed to falsely accuse him of forming a clique for personal gain.
The imperial court dismissed him from the post of water transport envoy and made him a county magistrate," Master Qingfeng said slowly.
"These despicable and shameless people have the ability to prove it, but they always like to stab people in the back.
It seems that Pei Yan's life will not be easy in the future."
Xin Yun said helplessly.
"That's right, my teacher just said that the tragedy has just begun":
