In that glorious and complicated era of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiaobai, a young official who had just entered the official career, gradually emerged in the officialdom with his integrity and extraordinary intelligence. However, as the old saying goes, "When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observant, there are no fugitives." "Behind the glamorous officialdom, there are countless undercurrents of tricks and calculations. Li Xiaobai knows that in this challenging environment, it is important to maintain a clear mind and noble character, but learning to guard against those "office tricks" is the key to protecting yourself from harm.
The story takes place in a grand mansion in Chang'an City, where Li Xiaobai's new official position is located. When he first arrived, he was full of passion and longing, and vowed to leave his footprints on this land. However, soon, he felt the deceit and suspicion in the officialdom.
One day, Li Xiaobai was burying his head in the middle of the case, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door. When I looked up, I saw my colleague Mr. Zhang walking in with a spring breeze on his face, still carrying a few volumes of documents in his hand.
"Master Li, are you busy?" Lord Zhang greeted with a smile, but there was an elusive light in his eyes.
Li Xiaobai hurriedly got up to greet him, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart. This adult Zhang has no deep friendship with him on weekdays, and there must be something strange about his sudden visit today.
"Lord Zhang, what are you doing?" Li Xiaobai asked politely.
Master Zhang gently put the document in his hand on the table, and said mysteriously: "Oh, this is a new policy that has just come down from above, and all government offices must strictly implement it. I see that Master Li has just arrived, and I'm afraid I'm not familiar with it yet, so I'm here to remind you one or two. ”
Li Xiaobai's heart sank, but on the surface, he remained silent, took the document and studied it carefully. At this glance, he immediately understood Master Zhang's intentions - there was a secret hidden in this new policy, and if it was not handled properly, it would easily become a handle for others to attack.
"Thank you Lord Zhang for reminding me, Li must be careful." Li Xiaobai smiled faintly, and he already had a plan in his heart.
In the days that followed, Li Xiaobai handled everything more cautiously, always beware of those possible traps and conspiracies. He knows very well that in officialdom, he must not only rely on strength to speak, but also know how to protect himself and avoid becoming a victim of other people's fights.
However, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop. Soon after, something unexpected happened.
One day, the emperor suddenly issued an order to thoroughly investigate a corruption case involving a number of officials. The case involved a wide range of issues, and many officials were alarmed by it. And Li Xiaobai, because he was cautious on weekdays, did not get directly involved in it, and thought that he could stay out of it.
However, at this moment, an anonymous report letter quietly appeared on his desk. The letter not only fabricated all kinds of "incriminating evidence" of his collusion with corrupt officials, but also attached fabricated evidence. For a time, Li Xiaobai fell into an unprecedented crisis.
In the face of this sudden blow, Li Xiaobai did not panic. He knows that the most important thing at this time is to stay calm and rational and find a way to solve it. So, while secretly investigating the source of the whistleblower letter and the truth behind it, he actively prepared for the upcoming review.
After several days of unremitting efforts, Li Xiaobai finally discovered the flaws and forgeries of the report letter. It turned out that all this was a conspiracy carefully planned by Lord Zhang in order to exclude dissidents and consolidate his position. He used his influence in the DPRK to spread rumors and fabricate evidence in an attempt to pull Li Xiaobai into the water.
In the face of this naked framing and conspiracy, Li Xiaobai did not choose to remain silent and compromise. He resolutely made the truth public and asked the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly. After a fierce struggle and investigation, the truth was finally revealed. Master Zhang and others were duly punished, while Li Xiaobai won the emperor's appreciation and the respect of the people with his integrity and wisdom.
After this turmoil, Li Xiaobai more deeply realized the sinister and complex officialdom. But he didn't let this discourage him or change his mind. On the contrary, he has strengthened his belief and pursuit - no matter how harsh the environment and how difficult the challenges are, he must maintain an honest and kind heart and bravely face all difficulties and challenges.
Since then, Li Xiaobai has become more comfortable and comfortable in officialdom. He has not only won numerous honors and praises with his strength and wisdom, but also become a good story and example for future generations. And those who tried to frame him with shady tricks ended up in ruins and a stench for thousands of years.
This story tells us that on the road of life, we will inevitably encounter all kinds of challenges and difficulties. However, as long as we maintain an upright and kind heart, have firm beliefs and pursuits, and learn to guard against those possible traps and conspiracies, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and challenges and realize our dreams and goals.
