Ji Changze can be regarded as the most legendary minister since the founding of Anguo.
His grades in the scientific examination were mediocre at first. Although he could not be said to be very bad, he was definitely not good. Logically speaking, such a person would not be accepted as a son-in-law by officials. However, Mr. Wei, who was still the censor Zhongcheng at the time, had a good vision and insisted on taking this person. He dug out a big pearl filled with sand and married his daughter to Ji Changze.
It is said that no one at that time could understand why Mr. Wei could marry his daughter to such a son-in-law who was born in a merchant family, had mediocre grades, and had no relationship with him before, and still supported his son-in-law in the following days, especially when Mr. Ji returned. During the dynasty, when he carried out many policies with the late emperor, his father-in-law, Mr. Wei, was always his most loyal supporter.
They were all father and son soldiers, so when it was their turn, it was better to switch to Weng and his son-in-law to stand on the united front.
When Ji Changze's political talent gradually emerged, and he successfully became the late emperor's super confidant, leading Anguo to make one shocking change after another, those who had talked about Mr. Wei behind his back were probably old-minded. Only then did the confused people suddenly realize and regret their mistakes.
I can’t complain!
Daqing is not that people are stupid, but that they are too smart.
Although Ji Changze is not a powerful man, he is close to it, but he has always been upright and upright in his conduct. Even if he has power, he has never done anything to seek personal gain with power. He is also very thick-skinned, and his political opponents can force him to do anything. It won't hurt him at all.
Being thick-skinned is recognized by the whole court.
If he is not thick-skinned, can he do the kind of thing where he reports to His Majesty every month the account book, what he ate, drank, and how much money he earned and where the money was used, all reported to His Majesty verbatim
Among the officials who did not dare to make their family assets transparent, this guy was obviously a scoundrel for doing so, but the late emperor still fell in love with him. Every time someone impeached Ji Changze, the late emperor always wanted to talk about the account books. Regarding this matter, let me tell you again that you actually think that Ji Aiqing is not good here and there, so you should surpass him first before talking about it.
If you can do it, go ahead. If you can't do it, don't force me.
Although these ministers wanted to reply: If I can't do it, I will force it.
However, this is a feudal society where the power of life and death is handed over to the imperial power. This is definitely the end of the world, so I can only close up in sorrow and anger.
It's not okay if you don't close the microphone. Haven't you heard that Your Majesty calls you Qing when you call me, and you love Qing when you call others
The political opponents were sad and angry, and the political opponents were desperate. They felt that His Majesty had been deceived by Ji Changze's sweet words. Just looking at how long Ji Changze stood beside him, the officials who once agreed with them but were now brainwashed to side with Ji Changze knew it. This guy is very capable of deceiving people.
They just held in their breath. Although they didn't dare to say it on the outside, in their hearts they planned to hold on until the end, just to endure it! We must also make Ji Changze survive!
As a result, the late emperor was kind-hearted and lived a long life. Before Ji Changze fell, many more old-fashioned officials were driven underground first.
The rest finally managed to hold on until the former emperor, Ji Changze's biggest supporter, went down, hoping that the new emperor could properly gather his own team. As for Ji Changze, the former emperor's favorite, according to the old rules, he was not the A mascot is to gradually move him away from the center of power.
They are looking forward to it!
They were excited!
They are so happy that they want to go to heaven!
Then, the new emperor Ji Chui came to power.
The first thing he did after he secured his seat was to ask Ji Changze to go to the imperial study room and send away all the people serving him. The two of them talked in secret for two and a half hours.
Then, Ji Changze successfully sold the plan that the late emperor had not agreed with before.
The late emperor indeed trusted Ji Changze very much, but he was also an old man. Unlike the new emperor in his prime, he was conservative and only wanted to maintain the status quo. Some of the plans Ji Changze wanted to make were too radical and did not get the late emperor's consent.
But the new emperor is different!
The new emperor is full of sharpness, young and vigorous. He has had a good mind since he was a child and has rarely encountered any setbacks. The wife he married is good-looking and has a good family background. The two children he gave birth to are both legitimate sons. In terms of political affairs, because he has had a good relationship since he was a child. The late emperor taught (Tree Hole), and he was influenced by his ears and eyes, and he did better than everyone imagined.
At this time, Ji Changze came up with an idea and said, "Your Majesty, we can't just keep things as we are, we need to reform." The late emperor, who had thought "Ji Aiqing is a great talent" since he was a child, thought about it for an hour after reading his plan and the prepared materials. Then he agreed.
The late emperor had Ji Changze, which allowed Anguo, which was originally in decline, to slowly recover.
But with Ji Changze, the new emperor gave wings to the entire Anguo, trying to soar into the sky.
Ji Changze said one thing to the previous emperor, and another to the new emperor. As a result, both emperors were very happy. They felt that Ji Aiqing was indeed Ji Aiqing, and I was the same pot and lid. .
Although Ji Changze himself knew that he was a universal pot lid, he could cover even a pot as big as a building, but the victims, no, the people being helped did not know.
As a result, Ji Changze's political opponents were disappointed.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, Ji Changze hit it off with him, and the two fought vigorously for five years. By the sixth year, the political opponents had become numb.
Well, they gave up the struggle.
Ji Changze was clearly a vixen who could confuse people's hearts. They had survived the previous emperor, how could they survive the strong new emperor
Moreover, Ji Changze is simply too vicious and full of bad intentions.
He would never use any means against his political opponents. They were all people who wanted to save face. Naturally, these political opponents were embarrassed to use those dirty means (anyone who knew how to use such means would have been killed by Ji Changze long ago), so this was As a result, they only talk about it.
The daily routine is probably "What are you looking at?" "How are you looking at you?" "You dare to look at me" and "I will look at you." Elementary school students can fight better than them.
Not only did Ji Changze never attack them, he also spoke in a nice and gentle manner, which made his colleagues who were officials in the same dynasty feel that they were too serious, but they just had different stances. Since they didn't care, Why bother
Every time this man with a gentle smile on his face made his political opponents want to vomit blood: "..."
Obviously everyone has different stances and are enemies, but Ji Changze, the white lotus, makes it seem like they have gone too far to bully others. Let’s find out, please! When did they and Ji Changze have different opinions, they won in the end
Ji Changze is said to be sinister, and he is very good at winning people's hearts through small favors.
Everyone knows that the officials under Ji Changze will not only receive personal bonuses from him, but also material rewards, and rewards for children at home to go to kindergarten. Moreover, he never bothers to take the credit of his subordinates. If everyone does a great thing together, he will be rewarded. They all reported as they should, so the people under Ji Changze were also the ones who were promoted the fastest.
Moreover, while he protects his own shortcomings, he does not protect his shortcomings too much. If he is wrong, he is wrong. Even if this person is his protégé, he will not interfere, and he will even take the initiative to collect evidence of crime. But if his subordinates have not done anything wrong, he will not do anything wrong. If you are slandered, it will blow up a hornet's nest. Ji Changze is a person who is not willing to give up and will never stop after paying the price.
There were also some people who went to complain to the late emperor at that time, saying that Ji Changze had formed a clique for personal gain. He clearly wanted to serve as an official in the court to do things for His Majesty, but in the end, those people all believed that Ji Changze was following his lead.
The late emperor: I can’t hear you.
This is another trait of Ji Changze. Even though he has connections all over the court, he can make a sworn brother out of him with just a few presses, but he never takes the initiative to get involved in military power, nor does he make friends with military attachés.
This is the greatest sincerity to reassure the emperor.
No matter how hard a group of literati work, what can they accomplish? Even if all the civil servants in the court are on Ji Changze's side, for the emperor who has military power in his hands, he can still sit back and relax.
This is the difference between the thinking of superiors and inferiors.
The person who filed the complaint did not get the outcome he wanted, and felt sad and angry in his heart. His Majesty was also deceived by this guy. After living strong for another twenty years, he finally waited for the new emperor. He was overjoyed and hurried over to complain. One thing.
The new emperor didn't pretend not to hear, he started scolding directly: "You have nothing to do, right? Ji Aiqing needs to do something practical. What are you doing? If you have nothing to do, do this, this, and that for me." , I am so busy every day that my feet never touch the ground. I wish I could grow eighteen pairs of hands to work. As my confidant, if you don’t work hard, you will be like a talkative woman. How shameless!
Complainant: I am actually His Majesty’s confidant? ! !
Before he could be happy for a while, the new emperor threw a lot of things at him, and asked him to do it as quickly as possible on the grounds that "if you weren't my confidant, I wouldn't leave these things to you." .
Suddenly becoming His Majesty's confidant, the complainant felt that he was full of energy and no longer wanted to complain, nor was he sad or angry. He happily went back with his things and began to work hard.
Seeing this, the new emperor, whose feet never touched the ground, was satisfied. He changed into his regular clothes and went out to go fishing with Ji Aiqing.
Ji Aiqing is right. This kind of work that can be left to the ministers can be left to them. They are happy and the burden on him is lightened. It is obviously a win-win situation, so why does he have to do it all by himself? He is clearly the master of the world, and he does what he does like a long-term worker who never gets a break.
No wonder my father lived a long life, he must also live a long life in the future.
Two days after the new emperor was happy, Ji Changze resigned.
The reason is that I have already done all the things that need to be done for you. Now the world is at peace, the people have enough food and clothing, your Majesty is in high spirits, and I am no longer needed in the court. I will take my leave.
New Emperor: ... But, Ji Aiqing, you have been my father’s lover for more than 20 years, and I don’t want 20 years. Can’t I make up the whole number of 10 years
Ji Changze and Ma Liu refused.
He is not stupid. He has no work to do now. If he retreats at this time, the emperor will only think of his kindness. If he does not retreat, now that the emperor has finished opening up the outside, his attention will be on the court. By then, Ji Changze will neither be able to Making new contributions and standing in a high position to respond to hundreds of calls, even if the emperor is a bastard, sooner or later he will not be able to bear it anymore.
Now is the best time to run away.
He bid farewell to the emperor and returned to his hometown with his family and relatives. From then on, there was one less minister in the court, but there was one more legendary god in the history class of later generations.
