Chapter 234: Corruption
In such a world, the princes and generals indulged in gentleness and wealth, while those ordinary soldiers fought bloody battles on the battlefield, and finally could not even return to their hometowns. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Their bones gradually disappear in various ways on the battlefield. Or weathered, or gradually eroded by those insects and ants. Either way, it was extremely bleak.
But there is no way, since those princes and nobles are unwilling to protect their homes for them, then they use their bodies, their own lives, and their souls to protect the homeland where their families live.
They will give everything they have to defend that little wish.
But even if they gave their lives, they could not catch up with the squandering of those princes and nobles. That night's enjoyment was worth ten days' worth of food, and that luxurious dress was worth the expenses of their whole family for several years.
Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. That's all, they have no right to stop them, so they can only use their own small strength to try little by little.
The golden snake couldn't help but feel a kind of disgust in his heart as he watched the pot-bellied general walk towards the bed like a stupid pig with saliva on his shoulder.
Thinking of the accumulated white bones on the battlefield, the golden snake only felt a sullen breath in his heart.
Later, when he remembered that time, he just felt that he was young and frivolous, and his vision was not broad enough, so later, he did not run away from the royal family, but rose to the occasion, killing gods when he met gods, and killing Buddhas when he met Buddhas.
At this time, however, he was indignant.
In the past, he knew about the corruption of the powerful, but it was limited to their open and secret battles above the court, but on the battlefield, he never imagined that they would be like this on the battlefield. would treat those lives as if they were worthless. Everything is premised on their interests, so dirty, so disgusting.
The golden snake saw the fleshy general in front of him crush the dancing girl on the bed, and then the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
This is a splendid palace, and the dazzling brilliance seems to show off how noble and rich the owner of this palace is.
This palace, the golden snake will never forget, because this is the place where he lived since childhood.
It's just that he doesn't live in such an elaborate house like his other siblings.
The place where he and his mother lived was not as luxurious and luxurious as here, but extremely elegant, partly because his mother did not like publicity, and partly because his mother's position was low, and she could not afford to have a lot of money a month like those favored concubines.
Looking inside, I saw a swaying woman slowly walking out from behind the screen. Her appearance is extremely beautiful, and if she is stained with some fat powder, she is even more vibrant.
She moved lightly, slowly walked to the edge of the chair and sat down, and in front of her knelt a man in official uniform.
Looking at his official uniform, the golden snake can probably judge whether this man's grade is not high or low.
Although he is not involved in political affairs, he also knows that it is extremely embarrassing to be at this level.
He has to be despised by many subordinates below, and he has to nod and flatter those superiors above.
If one is not handled well, then he will be angry at both ends.
The golden snake walked over and heard what seemed to be them talking about military pay.
The concubine wanted this official to swallow the military salary, and then secretly make a fuss. But where is that petty official willing, after all, he is just a petty official of a low grade, saying that it is not big, saying that it is not small, and he has to be suppressed by those big officials above from time to time. So he naturally didn't dare to do this.
But this concubine is because his Q grade is not high, so he dares to bully him like this, because she has won the favor of the king, so if he dares not to agree, it will offend her, so all these things, this little official can only measure by himself.
To do and not to do, in a thought.
It's just that after this decision is made, he has to bear all the disadvantages alone.
If he is not found out in the future, then he will become a big celebrity in front of this concubine, what benefits, this concubine should also think about him a little, but if something happens, the concubine's status is noble, and she has the favor of the king, so it is naturally impossible to jump into the fire pit, so he can only jump into the fire pit.
No matter what he said at that time, the concubine would definitely insist that he did everything alone, and that she had nothing to do with herself.
So it's really embarrassing to agree or not to agree!
The petty officer knelt on the ground, with a hesitant and tangled look in his eyes.
The concubine is still leisurely and leisurely, not in a hurry at all, because she is already familiar with this kind of thing, and she can't panic about this kind of thing, so she has to take it slowly.
She believes that no one will have no desire, if not, then it will only be temporarily suppressed, and when he understands it, he will naturally agree.
She hadn't seen anyone who didn't like power and money, sometimes it was just a matter of time, as long as they thought about it, then the door of desire would open in an instant, and it would get bigger and bigger, until they were slowly devoured by nothing.
Everyone who embarks on this road will inevitably experience such entanglements, and in the end there are very few who can hold on, most people will choose to take risks, to gamble, because in the end they will earn more than he will get by doing things seriously, so, who can still hold on, most of the people, must be quickly fallen.
That, the petty officer knelt on the ground and hesitated, wandering, thinking, tangled, confused.
He constantly weighs in his heart which option can be beneficial to his future path, and which option can minimize the risk.
It was like a snake circling and wandering in his heart, devouring his internal organs bit by bit, and devouring his heart little by little.
That feeling was extremely tormenting, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
Is it ridiculous to be an upright official? He laughs at how ridiculous people think that way.
If it is easy to be an upright official, then there will not be so many corrupt officials, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, at a glance, which one is not oily-headed, big-bellied, if there is no people's fat and people's ointment to support them, where will they be full of oil and water!
He is not so upright and does not stick to oil, but his previous small actions are not worthy of comparison with those pot-bellied high-ranking officials, he is timid and afraid, afraid of being caught.
