Qiming 1158

Chapter 843 Yelu Jin is ecstatically thrown into Su Yonglin's arms

Yelujin is a highly Sinicized Khitan.

He has been familiar with Confucian classics and learned cultural knowledge under the education of his family since he was a child. He belongs to the high-level intellectuals of the Khitan people under the Jin Dynasty, and is completely different from the Khitans who were driven by the Jin Dynasty to herd.

With such an educational background, when he was in the Jin Dynasty, he did not fail to discuss Confucian classics with those Han officials. He was able to debate with them for a long time, which surprised many Han officials.

Therefore, in the Jin Kingdom, he was in charge of the Ministry of Rites. After the fall of Zhongdu, because of this educational and work background, he was assigned by Su Yonglin to the first priest and later to work in the Ministry of Rites. After entering the Ming Dynasty, he was directly Promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

It made him very happy.

At first, he felt that even if he was a Khitan, he should be respected by everyone when he entered the Ministry of Rites with such an educational background and cultural level.

But it turned out that he took the word respect too simply.

As a Khitan, the era of the priests was not bad. After he was promoted in the Ministry of Rites, he could be regarded as a rat crossing the street, not to mention that he ran into obstacles everywhere.

In the early Ministry of Rites, it can be said that Kong Zheng and Zhou Jiang completely controlled all the power, and everything was decided by the two of them. They directly regarded Yelujin as the air and mascot, and did not discuss anything with him at all.

Yelu Jin, the right servant, can't do anything, and some events in the Ministry of Rites can only be known from official documents of the court.

Faced with this situation, at first, he felt that he was not doing enough, that he was not literate enough, not polite enough, so he tried his best to cater to Kong Zheng and Zhou Jiang.

He often wore Confucian clothes, incense his clothes, hung a Confucius statue in his office, and often worshipped Confucius.

Moreover, he couldn’t keep scrolls in his hands, read books whenever he had time, his desk was full of Confucian classics, and he often copied Confucius’ famous sayings and hung them in his office, reciting them every day, and reviewing them every day, trying to make himself more like a Confucian scholar.

However, all this was not only useless, but brought him even more humiliation.

He was ridiculed for being a monkey, and he pretended to be a Confucian scholar, but in the end he was just a northern captive, a lost dog.

Are you worthy of worshipping Confucius and reading Confucian classics?

You are insulting saints and blaspheming classics!
Yelujin was so angry that she felt that she had already done this, isn't it enough?

What else can be done to gain their acceptance?
But he didn't have the confidence to be angry in the Ministry of Rites at that time, so he couldn't sleep at night, he was restless during the day, and he couldn't eat well. He lost more than ten pounds, and he lost weight directly.

He complained to Yelu Chenghui, but Yelu Chenghui could only appease him, because the discord with the Shandong branch was on the bright side, and the two sides had already torn their faces and there was no possibility of bridging, so there was no countermeasure.

Yelu Chenghui could only vent his anger against Yelu Jin by treating Shandong officials in Shangshu Province harshly.

But this indirect way of venting anger really can't make Yelujin feel good, it can only make Yelujin more suppressed.

In the end, he couldn't take it anymore, and he was mentally weakened, so he could only bite the bullet and cry in front of Su Yonglin, asking Su Yonglin to change his position.

The Rites really couldn't stay any longer, they didn't bully people like that.

As a result, Su Yonglin gave him a slap in the face, and he was able to memorize the words that Su Yonglin had scolded him so far.

It's not much, it's very simple, that is, I hand over the position to you, but you can't control the power that comes with your position itself.

Being bullied by your subordinates as a Shangguan, being ostracized by your colleagues, and being ignored by your superiors, what you have done as an official is really a failure.

I thought that you have a good educational background and work background, and you should be able to take up your own job, but it never occurred to you that you don't even have the ability to maintain your own job.

If that's the case, then if I put you anywhere, you can't do well. You'll be bullied and pushed out by your colleagues. You can't do anything.

Otherwise, don't quit your job.

Facing the emperor's cynicism, Yelujin cried hoarsely and collapsed on the ground, tears dampening the cushions in Su Yonglin's palace.

When he cried to the point of despair, Su Yonglin stepped down from his seat, helped Yelujin up, and gave him two choices, one was to resign and go home and leave in shame, the other was to continue to fight in the Ministry of Rites to fight for his legal rights. .

"If you want to resign and go home, I won't be surprised, and I want to tell you that after you resign, you won't enjoy the retirement benefits of ministerial-level officials. Make a living."

Su Yonglin's cold words aroused panic and last obsession in Yelujin's heart. He shook his head repeatedly, saying that he didn't want to resign, he wanted to prove himself, and he didn't want to leave the court with shame.

So Su Yonglin gave him the opportunity to prove himself.

Su Yonglin gave him the opportunity to pick up the examination department, and let him lead the examination department to compete with Kong Zheng, Zhou Jiang and others for power, seize the important power of administering the examination and preparing for the examination, and firmly hold on to the vital importance of the Ministry of Rites. that power.

Trying to make Kong Zheng and Zhou Jiang collapse.

"You say you want respect, but I tell you, respect is not gained by catering to you, but by your own hard power. You read Confucian classics, wear Confucian robes, incense incense, practice calligraphy, and recite sages' remarks. It doesn't work, in their opinion, it's just a monkey show.

You have to know that, in their view, what deserves respect is not the doctrine of the sages, nor the Confucian classics, but the people in power themselves. Those in power who read the Confucian classics will be praised by them, and the beggars will read the Confucian classics. , just humiliating yourself.

understand?What really deserves their praise is not the Confucian classics, but the power and power that the Confucian classics have brought them!When Kong Zheng and Zhou Jiang find that their power is inferior to you, they will have to respect you.

How do I get respect?Because I am strong, because I have power, they respect me, and now they bully you for this, if you can't counter them and beat them hard, you really don't do this official. "

Su Yonglin's "honest teaching" gave Yelujin an epiphany.

A night later, the brand-new Yelujin reloaded.

For the last chance, Yelujin is very rare. He no longer wears Confucian clothes, and only wears official clothes outside the home. His behavior has swept away the past forbearance and became extremely strong.

During the establishment of the Examination Division, Kong Zheng, Zhou Jiang and others argued with him several times, arguing with him, trying to maintain their existing power.

Yelujin changed his previous pandering and confronted him tit-for-tat. He didn't take a step back, and even slapped a Shandong official who had offended him with a slap to the ground.

The Shandong official was so angry that he wanted to sue him. He pointed in the direction of the Supreme Court and asked him to sue.

"It's a big deal. You can see if I'm still the right servant when I come back, and if you dare to go, just wait. I have a way to make you pack up and go back to your hometown!"

All the officials of the Ministry of Rites were shocked by Yelujin's strength.

Since then, no Shandong officials have dared to grin at Yelujin, and even faintly feared, for fear of being slapped on the ground by his slap before he could reason.

Yelujin swept away the silence of the past and seized the opportunity to scold some erring Shandong officials loudly to establish his authority.

Someone tried to report Yelujin's brutality and disunity with his colleagues to the Supreme Court. Someone from the Supreme Court asked Yelujin to drink tea. Yelujin honestly admitted his mistake and stopped beating people, but he still said the same thing and refused to give in.

His official position was also intact because there was nothing wrong with him, and he was punished with a symbolic one-month salary as punishment.

But this was not the ending that Kong Zheng and Zhou Jiang hoped to see.

After a period of time, people arranged by Su Yonglin continued to enter the Ministry of Rites to form a new examination department with him, and some non-Shandong officials from the original Ministry of Rites were transferred by him to work in the examination department.

During this period, Kong Zheng couldn't even enter the Office of the Examination Division once, and was stopped by him directly without giving him any face.

Kong Zheng was so angry that he wanted to sue him, but he still pointed to the Supreme Court and asked him to sue.

Kong Zheng wanted to scold him, but he scolded him back fiercely, even more than that.

Kong Zheng scolded him for being vulgar and ignorant of etiquette. He directly said "I am a barbarian", and then he threw his fist at him, looking like he was going to compete with his real person.

Kong Zheng had nothing to do with him for a while.

In this process, Yelujin felt unprecedented happiness.

So he began to understand the meaning of what Su Yonglin said, and began to deeply understand how respect was obtained.

Because of this, he became Su Yonglin's die-hard supporter without anyone knowing.

He was deeply grateful to Su Yonglin, and expressed his willingness to do anything for Su Yonglin, go up to the sword and fall into the sea of ​​fire. As long as he can't die, he will continue to work for Su Yonglin.

After a period of investigation, Su Yonglin showed him the existence of the Skynet Army, and introduced Su Yin to him, so that Su Yin recruited Yelujin to become a non-staff member of the Skynet Army, a lurker of the Ministry of Rites, and his member of the foreign clan. Secret cronies.

Su Yonglin asked Yelujin to be completely loyal to himself and become his true cronies, not a member of some "foreign clan".

After that, even if he wanted to bite his fellow Khitans, he had to do it and give everything for Su Yonglin.

And Su Yonglin will give him what he desires most - respect and power.

Yelujin didn't think or hesitate. He almost fell into Su Yonglin's arms in ecstasy, completely abandoning his position and national position, and since then he has become Su Yonglin's absolute supporter.

Although he is not a member of the Renaissance, and he doesn't understand the things of the Renaissance, but as a pure fan, he can play an important role sometimes.

Like this moment.
