Volume 32 Chapter 32
The gentleman is in harmony with the Tao but is independent, and the villain gathers for profit but is separated from the Tao. This is the principle that the gentleman is in harmony but different, and the villain is in harmony but not in harmony.
In the case of being impeached, Zhang Tie sticks to his post and fulfills his duties and makes great contributions to breaking the Tongtian Sect, and then resigns from office and retires from being a Youzhou Tingwei. It is harmony but difference.
However, the censor who swallowed the party and the party and attacked the dissidents, encouraged the censor of Xuanyuan Hill Yushitai to fabricate rumors out of nothing to slander Zhang Tie, and almost dismissed Zhang Tie from the post of Youzhou Tingwei before the Tongtian Sect rebelled.
The way of officials is exactly the ethics of duty.
If Zhang Tie goes back, it will be a power struggle, if not, it will be a moral battle.
The dispute of power and strategy can relieve the anger for a while, but the dispute of morality can let Huaiyuantang completely take the initiative.
Zhang Tie doesn't think he is such a good official or how good his responsibility is, but the so-called winner and loser, at this time, as long as he can attack the Tun Party, under the light of a gentleman, he can properly brag about it On its own, it's no big deal.
In a word, as long as Zhang Tie insists not to be Youzhou Tingwei anymore, then Tun Dang will not only be roasted on the fire by Zhang Tie, but also invisible, Zhang Tie will put them on the hat of villain.
This hat is not easy to wear, especially for Tun Dang, who are benevolent and moral when they open their mouths. Under this hat is a magic spell that can tighten their heads. Besides, not everyone can wear this hat for others, just because Zhang Tie is a gentleman, and only a gentleman has the influence. Only when compared with a gentleman can a villain be revealed.
Tun Dang also knows that Zhang Tie is a gentleman, so. Even when impeaching Zhang Tie, Tun Dang can only play the sidelines. Being able to seize the handle to attack Zhang Tie is only Zhang Tie's work attitude-saying that Zhang Tie is lazy in his duties, and then putting such a small shortcoming in The magnifying glass and the special environment are infinitely magnified to achieve its purpose.
Tun Dang did not attack Zhang Tie's character and morality because. In Taixia, the character and morality of the gentleman called "Sage Reserve". Almost impeccable, if Tun Dang attacks Zhang Tie's character and morality, it is equivalent to attacking the entire Taixia's values and cultural system, and it is also equivalent to digging their own roots.
In the mouth of Tun Dang. "Benevolence, righteousness and morality" means "the four dimensions of the way of heaven", "the four dimensions are not manifested, the way of heaven is not manifested", and the sage is a person who is free in the way of heaven. To deny the gentleman is to deny the sage, to deny the sage is to deny the way of heaven, to deny the way of heaven is to deny Swallow the basis and root of the party's own existence.
Zhang Tie has also been thinking for the past few days why Tun Dang chose to attack him this time. With so many elders in Huaiyuantang and such a large family business in Huaiyuantang, is it true that he is the only one who can be caught by the Tun Party? After much deliberation.
The answer Zhang Tie came up with was that the reason why Tun Dang chose himself as the first target was because of his status and influence as a gentleman. before force. kill yourself. It is also because of this that the eating of the Tun Party has become so ugly this time. It's just that less than three months after Huaiyuantang became the No. 1 family in Youzhou, they couldn't wait to jump out and show their fangs, trying to step the youngest and most promising elder of Huaiyuantang into the darkness.
However, Tun Dang has a lot of calculations, even if he wants to break his head, he never thought that he would go to Youzhou City, and by chance, he would discover the conspiracy of Tongtian Sect.
The so-called wrong step by step is precisely the mistake of swallowing the party, which gave Zhang Tie a complete comeback, standing in a higher position, and attacking the party on a greater level of influence.
At this time, if you don't make good use of your status as a gentleman, it's really unreasonable.
It was based on such considerations, and after comprehensively considering other reasons, Zhang Tie made up his mind to do the fake show for real, and then let Huaiyuantang say that he no longer wanted to be the Tingwei of Youzhou.
"A victim who has been continuously exposed has the lowest chance of being victimized again. At this time, let Huaiyuantang become a victim standing on the moral high ground, a character who is sympathized by Taixia's mainstream public opinion and mainstream values. Let Huaiyuantang The most powerful shield against the attack of the Tun Party. Under the protection of this shield, Huaiyuantang can gain the opportunity and time to take root and develop in Youzhou, and avoid becoming the target of the Tun Party at this time. I am willing to be This shield from Huaiyuan Hall!" Zhang Tie said to Elder Mu En and Elder Mu Yuan.
The faces of the two elders were a little moved.
"But in this way, all the pressure of the Tun Party on Huaiyuan Hall will be transferred to you. The Tun Party will definitely use all means to suppress, stigmatize or obliterate you. This is too dangerous!" Elder Mu Yuan objected .
Some of the elders may have considered this kind of thing, but no one has brought it up, because it is tantamount to pushing Zhang Tie out...
"Could it be that if I go to apologize to the Tun party now, will the Tun party choose to be tolerant to me?" Zhang Tie asked back, "It has been so many years since Mr. Huaiyuan came back to Taixia. The Party is about to jump out and presuppose the death of Huaiyuantang and me. Is there any room for reconciliation between us and the Tun Party? Anyway, it’s all like this. What does it matter if it makes the Tun Party more embarrassing? This time we don’t seize the opportunity To frighten Tun Dang once and make them pay a huge price, Tun Dang will only gain an inch. As for me, as long as I leave the officialdom, Tun Dang can deal with me very limited means, not to mention that I have already been framed by Tun Dang once As long as Tun Dang doesn't blatantly send knights above the earth level to kill me, I'm not afraid of Tun Dang's methods. If one day Tun Dang dares to send a master to kill me blatantly, then Tun Dang will become the target of public criticism in Taixia , that is its self-destruction, why should we worry about it!" Having said this, Zhang Tie rubbed his face and gave a wry smile, "To be honest, I am not really expected to be an official, I am used to being free and easy, Unable to be restrained by others, being an official has too many responsibilities and too many rules. It is a fluke to be able to break the Tongtian Sect this time and swallow the party. It is also because of the protection of the governor, the impeachment of the swallowing party was refuted When I go back and become an official, I can't always count on luck and the protection from above. If I go back to be the court captain again, I bet that it won't take long for the Tun Party to find something wrong with me and move it back. If I don’t want to be Tingwei now, I will completely abandon the idea of swallowing the party, let them squat in front of Huaiyuan hall, hold back, even if they want to stand up and speak loudly!"
Elder Mu Yuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Tie waving his hand. Zhang Tie laughed at himself and said, "This can be regarded as making me famous in Taixia again! There is nothing wrong with it!"
Thinking of what he said to persuade Zhang Tie a few months ago, Elder Mu Yuan secretly sighed in his heart and stopped talking.
"If you don't want to be Youzhou Tingwei, who will take this position?" Elder Mu En, who was silent for a while, asked Zhang Tie's opinion. At this time, Elder Mu En said that, in fact, he basically recognized Zhang Tie's appeal. After all, Zhang Tie is also an elder of Huaiyuan Hall, and he is not an ordinary elder. How many people can do what he doesn't want to do in Huaiyuan Hall? Force him to drink water by pressing the bull's head.
"I think Zhang Yuanshan is good. Although he is not a knight and his combat power is slightly inferior, he is still a war spirit, and his experience and ability are no problem for the post of Tingwei! After the Tongtian Sect was wiped out, the court in Youzhou The Wei system will not face any more major challenges, I think he is quite suitable." Zhang Tie threw out the plan he had thought up a long time ago, "Besides, I won't be a Ting Wei, it doesn't mean I can't get involved in Youzhou Regarding the matter of the Tingwei system, I will go directly to register for a bounty criminal arrest!"
"Bounty criminal arrest?"
"That's right, bounty criminal arrest!" Zhang Tie had a wicked smile on his face, "I'm a gentleman. Although I'm not in my position, I still care about the security of Youzhou and the lives of the people in Youzhou. It is also necessary to deter those treacherous and evil Xiaoxiao, let Ting Wei do nothing to do a bounty criminal arrest, in Taixia, I guess it is the first one, the more this high profile of grievance is done, the more uncomfortable it will be to swallow the party. At the same time, Since I'm a bounty criminal arrest, if Zhang Yuanshan has something wrong with you in Youzhou, just tell me and I'll settle it. In fact, I used to be a Ting Wei, and I paid such attention!"
All right? Elder Mu En and Elder Mu Yuan really had nothing to say.
Just by looking at the faces of the two people, Zhang Tie knew that he had already communicated with Huaiyuantang on this matter. Although there were only two elders in front of him at this moment, in fact, Elder Mu En and Elder Mu Yuan were talking to him, and the two An elder was still using the remote sensing crystal worn on the ring to communicate with other elders and Earl Changfeng. Huaiyuantang couldn't refuse his own reasons.
"Alright then, the Patriarch has already agreed!" Elder Mu En said.
"But there is one more thing!" Elder Mu Yuan added, "We see that the timing is about the same. What Elder Mu Shen promised to the family back then should be done!"
"What's the matter?" Zhang Tie asked.
"It's the issue of continuation of the family blood. This matter has been dragged from the Weiyi subcontinent to Taixia. Since Elder Mu Shen no longer serves as the Tingwei of Youzhou and has more free time in the future, this matter should be considered Already!"
Zhang Tie patted his forehead, and asked with a wry smile, "How does Huaiyuantang usually arrange this kind of thing?"
"The family prepares a group of clean and reliable Chinese women. Elder Mu Shen just chooses. If you like, you can come to the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard. It is normal for knights to have dozens of wives and concubines. If Mu Shen If the elder has a favorite woman, he can directly bring it up, as long as the other party is not married, they can discuss it!" Elder Mu En said in a normal tone, as if he was telling Zhang Tie how to go to the store to buy things. Said, this kind of thing is really too common.
Zhang Tie rubbed his forehead and thought about it, and finally compromised once, "I don't think you need to bother, just send the sisters Ai Mei and Ai Xue that I met in Hurricane Legion! Take your time, for If the family is more harmonious, it won’t take too much for the time being..."
