From ancient times to the present, idealism has been necessary. Without certain strength, it is difficult to be any kind of person! It is difficult to be a good person, and it is difficult to be a good official. Not to mention irony, this has always been the case since the beginning of mankind. Human nature is like this. Who can change it? I think what we can do is each of us do a little bit to prevent future generations from writing satirical books about us.
Become famous in one fell swoop
Fame and wealth have been pursued by people since ancient times, and no one can escape its curse. Even Zhuge Liang, a generation of elites, can only say that he is indifferent to fame and fortune, let alone ordinary people like us.
How many people can resist the temptation of power?
The Scholars is a literary classic required to be read by Jingjiu Junior High School. This is a critical novel from the Qing Dynasty. It is about a group of students who believe that "excellence in learning leads to officialdom." They regard reading as a stepping stone. For money and wealth, they can study sleepless nights and take exams from black-haired to gray-haired, just to gain fame. There are also some corrupt officials who, in order to plunder the people, are willing to sacrifice the people and talk about putting the people first in everything. The character that impressed Xiao Jingjiu the most - Xun Mei. He was the most dazzling person in the scholarly history, but it was a pity that he fell. When she first appeared on the scene, Xun Mei was only a seven-year-old child. She passed the scholar examination before she was twenty years old and ranked first. The next year, I got first place in the entrance examination, passed the provincial examination successfully, and went to the capital to take the national examination and got third place in the Jinshi examination. It can be said that a hero comes from a young age, a young man succeeds in his ambition, and the spring breeze is proud of the horse's hooves. After that, Xun Mei's career was smooth sailing, she was promoted successively and reached the pinnacle of her life. However, later, through other people's discussions about Xun Mei, we learned that she had been arrested for embezzlement. After all, Xun Mei could not withstand the temptation. As for why Xun Mei embarked on the path of corruption and bribery? From a direct perspective, the temptation was too great to take advantage of the lucrative position of the Salt Transport Envoy of the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River, so he took bribes. If we trace the source, we can still find some clues, and it can be said that it has a lot to do with Wang Hui. As Xun Mei continues to advance in her official career, she will inevitably go further and further down the road of corruption and bribery under the subtle influence of Wang Hui. After becoming the Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy, behind the supreme power was a huge amount of wealth at his fingertips. Therefore, it was expected that Xun Mei would be arrested. It's easy for a good person to become bad, just by doing something illegal or unethical. But it is difficult for a bad person to learn good things, because it means that he will not be able to do a single bad thing from now on. The Scholars wrote about how good people turn bad. I always think that Xun Mei is an excellent person. If he can always maintain his original intention of embarking on the path of studying, and not be disturbed by external conditions, and not be tempted by power and money, this natural scholar will have an unlimited future. Finally, what do you think might be hindering your success along the way?
