In the original work of "Know", Sheng Hong is described as a veteran figure in officialdom. Throughout the career of his son, Changbai, he, the father, has put in countless efforts and efforts to ensure the future of his most promising son. He knows that his son has many opportunities in officialdom, but he also knows that there are many pitfalls and crises in it. In Sheng Changbai's officialdom career, he had already foreseen all possible opportunities, and he used almost all his strategies and efforts for his son Sheng Hong.
1.Out of consideration for his son, he took the initiative to choose to go out.
In the first half of the plot of the original work, Sheng Hong spent most of his time in a state of outplay. Because he didn't like to be called "big ears" by people all the time. Subsequently, when Mo Lan, Rulan and Minglan began to think about getting married, Sheng Hong decided to transfer them back to the capital through their connections. At the return ceremony of the Minglan Dynasty, after the three daughters got married, Sheng Hong announced her decision to release in front of her family.
Sheng Hong's core motivation for choosing to be released was to make way for his legitimate eldest son, Changbai. At this moment, the father and son had been serving in the same court for some time, and Changbai's position in the Hanlin Yuan was not prominent, while Sheng Hong's position in the deserted yamen was Gongbu Langzhong, both of which were not very conspicuous, so there was no reason to avoid suspicion.
However, Changbai's current editing work in Hanlin has ended, and in the future his official position will be promoted to the fifth rank, and it is rumored that he will either be appointed as a scholar or enter the sixth department to take up the position of minister. This was still a relatively high treatment at that time, and it can be said to be very generous. At this stage, Sheng Fa was no longer just an unknown ** in the yamen, but was promoted to the rank of Sipin Yushi during the palace coup, and was specifically responsible for handling various complaints. After that, he was reappointed as the Inspector of Imperial History, specializing in investigating and handling some cases. In ancient times, the imperial history was regarded as a kind of speech official, no longer a subordinate of a silent yamen. Therefore, in the heyday, the superintendent of the court was generally served by the father, and the son was mostly served by the mother and grandfather. Both the father and son have been promoted to prominent official positions, and they are likely to be criticized by people with ulterior motives in the future. The father sent him to prison because of what had happened to his son, and he lived in prison for three years before he was released. In order to ensure his son's future, Sheng Hong took the initiative to avoid criticism from the outside world.
Maybe some readers will think that Brother Changbai's official position is not high, so why didn't Brother Changbai take the initiative to give in? In fact, the high official status of Changbai does not mean that the position is high. Although Changbai's official position is not high at present, Sheng Fa's long-term vision includes: the nobility of the Hanlin Academy, the in-depth study of classical history, the drafting of confidential documents, the pragmatic attitude of the six branches, the issuance of official documents, and the inspection of violations, all of which are places of low power and status.
For his son's future planning, Sheng Hong is not limited to this. He was a thoughtful man, and his ultimate goal was to ensure that his son, Changbai, would become a core member of the cabinet and hold important cabinet positions in the future.
List of high-quality authors In that historical period, there were two main ways to enter the cabinet: one was to enter the Hanlin through the Jinshi, and gradually promoted from the scholarly scholar beside the emperor to the scholar of the Hanlin University, and finally became a member of the cabinet; The other is that after the end of the term of office of the Hanlin Shujishi, he will enter the six departments or six departments and perform poorly, and then continue to improve through seniority, during which there may be one or two terms of external experience, and then gradually accumulate seniority, and finally be promoted to the six departments of the squire or Shangshu, and finally have the opportunity to join the cabinet. By reading Changbai's brother's official experience, readers can deeply feel Sheng Hong's deep heart, and he did not hesitate to give up his fate for the sake of his son's future. He conveyed an important message to Gu Tingye, that is, he hoped that the family could work together to help Sheng Changbai realize his desire to join the cabinet. Gu Tingye was very witty and completely accepted his father-in-law's advice. Thanks to Gu Hou's support, Sheng Changbai had a good father who planned for him, which allowed him to avoid many unnecessary detours in officialdom.
2.Out of consideration for his son, it was decided to let Changbai be released.
As time passed, the political atmosphere in the DPRK and China changed, and soon after, members of the Sheng family conveyed the news to Minglan that Changbai was about to be released. Minglan is still confused, why did her father suddenly become her brother when she wanted to be released? She thought, it must have something to do with her father! Gu Tingye is very sensitive to the current political environment, and he smiled and said: His father-in-law is very perceptive, and it is not just Qi Heng's father-in-law who is a cunning person.
During that period, due to the instability of the official environment and the turmoil of the imperial court, there were certain risks associated with holding positions in the capital. Qi Heng's father-in-law, in order to maintain his strength, submitted a retirement pension. Before leaving, he placed one of his favorite nephews and a grandson-in-law in a safe place, and was cared for by his nephew and protégé. After careful consideration, after completing all these tasks, he returned to his hometown to retire with satisfaction.
Obviously, the way Qi Heng's old father-in-law maintained his vitality and strength had been clearly seen by Sheng Hong. He believes that his uncle is a person who "does not do his job", so he invested all his savings over the years into his son. In order to ensure that his son, who had just entered politics, would not be drawn into complex political disputes, Sheng Hong took decisive action and decided to let his son stay out of sight for the time being, so as to avoid losing a bright future in the internal struggle in the capital. Gu Tingye also agreed with his father-in-law's behavior, and he believed that at this critical moment, it was the wisest decision to avoid the turmoil in the imperial court and choose to release him outward.
When Minglan and her wife arrived at the Sheng Mansion, they learned that Sheng Hong wanted Gu Tingye to assist her son and ensure that they were safe on their wanderings. Sheng Fa thinks quite comprehensively about her son in every way. He hopes that his son will be able to become a productive ** like him in the future. Changbai's mother, Wang, was short-sighted compared to Sheng Hong's experience, complaining that Sheng Hong had sent her son to a position in the barren mountains and remote places, and she felt that Sheng Hong did not really care about her son.
Old Lady Sheng has excellent hearing and eyesight, and she can quickly understand the pros and cons of things, which makes her very angry and severely criticizes Wang:
Despite its remote location, Nazawa County is still an important destination. However, in such a less conspicuous area, there are relatively few conflicts of interest with Bai'er, and as long as Bai'er is healthy, there will be no problems. What he meant was that it was enough to build a bridge at the seat of the county government, and instead of setting up stalls and selling them everywhere as before, and not having to go to the market, just sitting in front of the house and waiting for people to come to the door. If we can manage the place properly, rest with the local population, build bridges and roads, and encourage agriculture and silkworms, then we may achieve some remarkable results. In the past few years, the people of Naze have become rich, but there are also many people who are messing around outside, and some people have been killed before they have become rich, leaving behind a bachelor and a beggar, what is this called? It is quite difficult to serve as a magistrate in those resource-rich places, and the intricate internal relationships and various forces behind it, coupled with the fact that our family's foundation is not strong enough, Bai Ge'er can neither act nor contact, and this is the real dilemma.
Under Mrs. Sheng's detailed explanation, Wang finally understood the hard work of her husband Sheng Hong. She couldn't grasp the key point when dealing with affairs, and also considered letting Changbai's wife Hai stay at home to take care of her in-laws. Old Lady Sheng angrily told her that in those barren mountains and harsh waters, only with the assistance of the Hai clan could Changbai ensure that everything could go smoothly.
Changbai finally took up an official position in a poor and remote area under his father's arrangement. However, as Mrs. Sheng pointed out, Changbai has been working hard to govern the country, has achieved remarkable political achievements, and finally won the umbrella of the people that they are extremely proud of and relish.
The ancient ** selection was actually a duel of wisdom and strategy, and whether Sheng Changbai chose to go abroad or not largely reflected Sheng Ken's deep heart. During his tenure as prime minister, he repeatedly consulted with ministers on how to be a good official. This also explains why, in ancient times, it was often said that in the imperial court, there were people who were particularly fond of holding official positions.
The prosperity of a large family is often the product of generations of deep thought and preparation. Sheng Changbai performed very well, and under the careful care of his father, he successfully overcame various difficulties and eventually became a core member of the cabinet. He wanted to be an emperor, but he knew that it would not be so easy to become an emperor. Sheng Hong's original vision was realized, and everything was so perfect, which is all due to Sheng Hong's careful planning and careful planning in the later stage.
Sheng Hong, the father, made great efforts and thoughts for his children, and planned his life. His children were faithful to their fathers, but none of them were able to carry on his business and become his top boss. Obviously, a competent father plays an indispensable role in determining the honor and shame of the family.
