As expected, the Ming Dynasty was still too comprehensive.

There was a popular saying before: People who don't consider you in small matters won't choose you in big matters either. If they suddenly consider you, it means they want you to take risks.
This brings to mind Hai Rui in "The Ming Dynasty 1566"—he had been serving as a magistrate in Nanping, and suddenly he "changed from rice to mulberry," so he was promoted. Hai Rui's mother said: "So many officials are not competing, why let a small county magistrate like Hai Rui compete?"
And Gao Hanwen, who usually lives a hard life in the Hanlin Academy, how did he suddenly "change from rice to mulberry" and get promoted to handle important responsibilities?
Another example is Yang Jinshui and others suddenly asking Ma Ningyuan to handle a major matter, celebrating with a banquet—actually, they were secretly sabotaging Hu Zongxian by destroying dikes and flooding fields. Normally, they wouldn't think of Ma Ningyuan; when they started shifting blame, they remembered him. Clearly, the incident was meant to pin the blame on him.
The wisdom of our ancestors truly does not deceive me.
