Chapter 76: The Way of Being an Official in the Tang Dynasty

"Let's go, go to Tianxiang Building!"

"Go find Red Silk and listen to the tune."

"Is Saburo together?"

“……”

This group of guys was drunk, and then walked towards Pingkangfang in groups, and Cheng Chubi expressed considerable contempt for this, extremely contemptible.

Cui Yu, a playboy, just forget it, how old is Shangguanyi, the future prime minister of the Tang Dynasty? even went to Pingkangfang to find a prostitute, and if it continues like this, it is estimated that it is not certain whether it can grow up healthily, Cheng Chubi expressed considerable contempt, if it weren't for the fact that there was a fierce wife at home, he would also want to go.

Saying goodbye to those hateful guys, Cheng Chubi returned to Princess Xinping's mansion, and returned to the princess's mansion, only to see Chai Lingyu sitting in the lobby, and in front, three red boxes made of fine nanmu were placed in the lobby, and at this time Chai Lingyu was frowning and looking down.

"Huh? Who's giving this today? Cheng Chubi walked in and said with a smile: "Could it be that you have also learned to accept bribes?" ”

I walked over and opened the box, and saw that there were some horseshoe gold and silver bricks stacked in the three boxes, and there were a lot of jewels in them, and the room was suddenly full of jewels.

"Rich?" Cheng Chubi asked with a slight smile.

"These are not for me, they are for you." Chai Lingyu frowned and said, "These are sent by Cheng Qian, Li Tai and Li Ke, this is the famous thorn they handed over, you can see for yourself." ”

Chai Lingyu said and handed the three famous thorns to Cheng Chubi, Cheng Chubi took them, and couldn't help but be happy, and said, "Oh, it seems that they are still quite good." Sent so many gold and silver jewelry, you see that this Li Tai's famous thorn is actually made of pure gold, so there is no need to return it to him, keep it. ”

"Isn't that right? If you spread the word, wouldn't everyone know that you love money? Chai Lingyu's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

"What's the love of money? Isn't it good to love money? ”

"It's not bad to love money, but if you're so blatant, it's not good for your future career."

"What is the career of the official, I never thought about becoming a career, besides, now our family does not have to worry about food and clothing, why do we have to work hard." Cheng Chubi sat down, ordered someone to pour himself a pot of tea, smiled faintly, and said: "Besides, if I am an official, Your Majesty's favorite thing to use is an official like me." ”

"Huh?" Chai Lingyu was puzzled.

Cheng Chubi waved his hand to let the people in the hall retreat, and then said in a low voice: "Look at you, you are all generals, why don't you even understand this simple truth?" Who is Your Majesty? That is the emperor of the world, when the emperor is most worried that all the people under his hands are righteous gentlemen, if all the people under his hands are righteous gentlemen, then the emperor's life will not be easy. As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there is no fish, if you don't have some shortcomings, Your Majesty doesn't dare to use you, a person has talent but no shortcomings, that is a saint, there can only be one person in this world who is a perfect saint, that is the emperor! ”

"Let me tell you, when a person's talent is greater, his shortcomings must be greater, such a person the emperor can use it at ease, only by mastering a person's weaknesses, the emperor can use it boldly and boldly, knowing why the king of Hejian is greedy for money and good cesium, and he is often denounced, but whether it is the late Emperor Taishang or His Majesty today, he is close to him? Sometimes the greed for money is not necessarily a bad thing, and sometimes a good name is not necessarily a good thing. ”

The corners of Cheng Chubi's mouth showed a smug smile, there are righteous gentlemen, but this kind of upright gentlemen are often the worst, especially in the feudal era of the Tang Dynasty, if you don't have any shortcomings, the emperor doesn't dare to use you if he wants to use you? Even those generals and Wenchen around Li Er, who doesn't have any shortcomings?

Wei Zheng is considered the most upright person in the Tang Dynasty, but after he died, the grave was smashed by Li Er's own hands, and the son who could have married the princess ended up with Huang, which is really not ordinary miserable.

Therefore, there must be a little handle by the emperor's side to be held by the emperor in order to live a long time, the bigger the official position, the more handles, and the more favor he will receive.

Chai Lingyu listened to Cheng Chubi's words, and her brows couldn't help frowning slightly, it seemed that what she said was quite reasonable, but she felt that it seemed to be crooked.

"And how are you going to solve this problem?" Chai Lingyu asked with a helpless sigh.

"Isn't that easy? Whoever gives more money will go to whom's house first, eat one by one, and when they are finished, they should be full. Cheng Chubi said with a smile.

"Is that good?" Chai Lingyu couldn't help asking.

"What's so bad?" Cheng Chubi smiled, and then walked outside, you haven't gone with me to go to relatives, when you went to relatives in your previous life, a village was all related to relatives, this family went to another family after eating, and you can go home when you have all your relatives.

Cheng Chubi has a deep understanding of this.

When I came to the kitchen, I ordered someone to wash all the bean sprouts that had grown, and then fried a bean sprouts for myself, I haven't eaten bean sprouts for a long time, and now I am very happy to think about it.

The mutton fat was poured into the pot, and then quickly dissolved, boiling, and when the mutton fat burned with a "bang", the bean sprouts were put in, and then began to fry, and after a few minutes, the bean sprouts were fried, and the air was filled with a strong aroma.

Cheng Chubi smiled and returned to the hall with a bowl of bean sprouts, only to see that there were a few more people in the hall at this time, and one of them knelt down, who looked like a middle-aged craftsman.

"Huh? What's this? Cheng Chubi walked in and asked.

"Horse, I'm wronged, I'm really wronged, I'm wronged." Seeing Cheng Chubi coming, the other party pounced on Cheng Chubi, held Cheng Chubi's feet and cried: "Donkey, I'm really wronged, I'm wronged......"

"Wronged? If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing sneakily? The female guard held the sword in her hand and said coldly.

"I ...... I had an urgent need to urinate. The other party said.

"And what is this?" The female guard threw a piece of gold on the ground, sneered, and said, "This is from you, and there are some numbers on it, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Bronze two gold eight?" Cheng Chubi picked up the gold and frowned.

"Pull it out and cut it." Chai Lingyu waved his hand and said.

"Pony, help, help, I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong, donny help." The craftsman said in horror.

"This ...... Isn't that too harsh? It's just a secret recipe, and if it's leaked, it's leaked, so there's no need to kill people. Cheng Chubi couldn't help but say, after all, he is not a native of this world, so he is still a little resistant to killing.

"If this secret recipe is leaked out, we will become the mortal enemies of the five surnames and seven hopes, if those people know that we have done something in the gold, will they let us go?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Chai Lingyu's mouth, and he said, "And he can sell the secret recipe today, and what he sells tomorrow is the life of our husband and wife!" ”

"This matter must be strictly investigated, and anyone involved in this matter will be killed! All gold should be carefully guarded, and no gold should be allowed to carry information. Chai Lingyu said coldly: "Since the slaves are unfaithful, then change a group of loyal ones!" ”

"Yes!"

The two female guards answered, and then walked outside, Cheng Chubi couldn't help sighing, I don't know how many people will be killed that night.

Cheng Chubi sighed, he knew that there were some things he could do, but he didn't do them.
