Chapter 111: Passive Choice
Hearing these words, Sun Long was dumbfounded, those previous perceptions of the empire had been completely subverted, if it weren't for the dignified Zhou Tu, the lord of the Wild Cow City, Sun Long would not believe it at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Originally, it was a whole empire, and the imperial family was the existence of the will of the empire, and its bureaucrats and many forces naturally worked for the empire with all their might.
Sun Long has his own thoughts and cognitions about this matter, and he is a little repulsed by this set of so-called survival rules, but he knows that existence is reasonable, since he wants to insert himself into the quagmire of this empire, then this set of rules related to survival must be adapted as soon as possible, otherwise he will be looking for trouble for himself.
But doubts still existed, he looked into Zhou Tu's eyes, made a very serious thinking look, and did not interrupt his words.
At the end of the topic, Zhou Tu said: "As I said just now, we all need to stand on the team and choose the camp we play in, which is of great benefit to you, your family and even the entire empire. Although you are not yet able to clearly understand the disadvantages of this, as your experience increases in the future, you will know how powerful this relationship will play in the Empire, so I hope you can make a right decision now, and I can tell you responsibly that this will be an opportunity for you and the wisest choice for you. ”
Zhou Tu's words have a very strong and inciting meaning, Sun Long obviously feels that he is tempting himself, which involves intricate entanglements of interests, Sun Long is currently completely half-clear, if in such a situation he rashly agreed, and made a hasty choice, then in the future, if something beyond his control occurs, it must be difficult to redeem it.
This kind of thing that is beyond his control and is not within the scope of his understanding, so that Sun Long does not have any sense of security and trust, originally thinking that the officials will be managed by the imperial court, and the appointment and dismissal of the lord or personnel will naturally be handled by the imperial court, but now that the situation has changed, Sun Long did not dare to make a rash choice.
The atmosphere became a little tense and depressing, Sun Long felt an invisible pressure acting on his body, this kind of choice involving the core interests level, made Sun Long feel uneasy, in order to alleviate this atmosphere, he smiled faintly, and said, "What do you need me to do?" ”
Zhou Tu said: "If you make a choice, then everything becomes much easier. As long as you succeed in obtaining the position of marquis, you will inevitably be valued by the imperial court. The Empire will arrange a special meet-and-greet to gauge your true abilities. As long as you suppress your strength at the lowest point in this meeting, and don't exceed our preset limit, then the court will not transfer you to the forbidden army, and naturally you will not be controlled by the court, you can wait for the officials to arrange the title and the city where you are located with peace of mind, and then become the ruler of one side, and you will have to be wind and rain, and it is clear who is superior and who is inferior compared to serving in the imperial family, what I said should not be difficult to understand with the intelligence of the little brother, right?! ”
After hearing what Zhou Tu said about the rules above the officialdom and how to deal with the many tricks about how to deal with the selection of talents by the imperial family, Sun Long couldn't help but gasp, what he didn't expect was that this seemingly calm empire was actually an undercurrent, and the entire court of the Tianhai Empire was like a pot of colorful hodgepodge, the strength of which was intricate, far more complicated than on the surface, Sun Long couldn't help but have the feeling of opening a window to a new world.
The words have been said very clearly, of course Sun Long knows what Zhou Tu means, but it is indeed a little difficult for him to make a choice now, and no matter how dark this officialdom is, once this foot is stepped out, it will be difficult to withdraw it in the future.
His purpose is to strengthen himself, not to compete with those officials who are mixed in the officialdom, choosing a camp means serving the camp, then there is no doubt that choosing the most promising and powerful camp is the right way. No matter how rampant the undercurrent forces of the Tianhai Kingdom were, how could they be stronger than the royal family? If you have to choose a force to live in for the time being, the royal family is a good choice.
But at present, it seems that the barrier between these officials and the royal family has long been formed, although it may be slightly inferior to the royal family in terms of absolute strength, but they are also an existence that cannot be ignored, since the royal family can turn a blind eye, then there are places where the royal family has scruples.
To make a rash choice can only put himself in a passive situation, and from then on he will be subject to many restrictions of his organization, which is contrary to Sun Long's goals and objectives, he does not want to be controlled too much, let alone participate in these intricate conflicts of interests, and his heart is very reluctant to accept such a thing.
Choosing a faction will create an infinite number of enemies at the same time, but if you don't choose a faction to join, you will lose all your resources, and even all your forces will become enemies. In the whole plan to strengthen himself, joining the Tianhai Empire to use their power to help him take revenge is the core of Sun Long's entire layout.
Originally, he wanted to choose a balance between being controlled by the empire and striving for the greatest personal freedom, but he didn't expect that the internal struggle and power layout of the Tianhai Empire far exceeded his initial expectations, and now it seems that the situation is developing in another direction, and if he wants to continue to carry out the original plan, he must adjust and change some things to adapt to the new environment.
The Tianhai Empire must join.
You have to choose a faction.
It can provide the greatest help to itself, and at the same time, it cannot be too strict with itself, if it wants to leave this force one day in the future, it will not be too much trouble, at least to avoid killing, to avoid a big conflict.
After determining these basic principles in his heart, Sun Long's mind gradually calmed down, the conditions given by the six departments were very attractive, but it was definitely not the only choice, Sun Long at least in the imperial family and the six departments, there was still some room for choice, he did not give an answer, but fell into a state of thought.
Zhou Tu's words were finished, and then the three of them looked at Sun Long together, today's secret conversation can be described as full of dry goods, and many secrets of the imperial court have been told, which can also be seen from another side, these officials of the six ministries have the intention to encircle him to serve under their doors. The Ministry of Officials controls the right to select talents, if there is no first approval of the Ministry of Officials, it can be said that Sun Long has no future at all in the Tianhai Empire, if they do not report talents to the imperial court, the empire will never have a statement, and Sun Long will never have a chance to come out.
Thinking of this cruel reality, Sun Long's short-term choice, for now, he really needs a chance to break into the middle of the Tianhai Empire's power, but the time is not ripe, it is not good to tear his face with the three people in front of him, but he smiled at the three people: "This matter is very big, I can't make a decision myself, wait until I go home and discuss with the elders before giving you an answer!" ”
The three of them glanced at each other, Xian Yuqiong and Tuoba Xianxian's eyes crossed a sharp line, Zhou Tu narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and said: "That's fine, by the way, wait for the news of the Reckless Earl's Palace, they may give you a good reward, if even they give you the nomination of the Ribbon Lord, the court will meet you in advance, and then it will be your chance to perform, and it will not be too late to make a choice at that time." ”
Although there was no problem with what he said, Sun Long still felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing, as if knives were flying in the air, he just stood up, arched at the three people, and said, "There are still some things to deal with at home, so I will leave." ”
Watching Sun Long leave, Tuoba Xian snorted coldly and said, "I see that this person has a backbone behind his head, and he may not be willing to obey our arrangement, besides, the old monster of Tianwen secretly talked to him for an hour that day, maybe the two of them have reached a deal." You know that the Tianji Academy and us are mortal enemies, in case this kid has anything to do with the Tianji Academy, wouldn't we raise tigers for trouble? ”
Xian Yuqiong also regained his former style at this time, he showed a contemplative expression, shook his head and said: "The current attitude of the Tianji Academy is very vague, and it may not necessarily stand on the side of the royal family, since Sun Long has some entanglement with the old monster of Tianweng, it means that this person still has some use value." Tianwen is a totem-like figure in Tianji Academy, opening this door is equivalent to opening Tianji Academy, as long as the six of us unite with them, we will immediately become the dominant force in the court, although the ants are small and can break the embankment, I look at Sun Long, let's observe for a while. ”
Tuoba snorted coldly and said, "You'd better pray that this guy isn't that complicated, you know that our environment is embarrassing enough, people have to be simple to control, and the old man doesn't like this kind of potential threat." No matter how great his use value is, it must be within a controllable range, otherwise he will become our enemy sooner or later. ”
Xian Yuqiong smiled faintly and said: "Don't be so sensitive, this matter is not so complicated, a small clansman from a down-and-out family, their entire family is now in our hands, if there is really any inappropriate move, it is not easy to erase them?" ”
He glanced at Zhou Tu and said: "This Sun family has a contradiction with Lingxi State, this is a point that we can take advantage of, pay attention to it in the future, if he is disobedient, knock it at any time, let him understand things, and know who is the king." ”
Zhou Tu's eyes crossed a touch of Senran, revealing his white teeth, and said: "Don't worry, everything is under my control, and I am naturally a friend for my use, even if I am an enemy of the emperor and a relative, we are not killing one or two, how can we care about a small loose cultivation of him?" ”
