Chapter 444: Life is like tea
Zhao Gou's words made those people with unclean hands and feet in the court bow their heads and remain silent, and they asked themselves that their previous selves were also full of fighting spirit, and in the environment of the big dye vat, their hearts were polluted, and gradually they lost themselves in power and money.
If it was their former self, they should be clean officials and good officials, but the years are ruthless, and human nature will always become. From the moment they accept bribes with the power in their hands, there is no turning back; Gradually, after being in the officialdom for a long time, he forgot his original intention and immersed himself in the power of open and secret struggle.
Looking back now, they couldn't sleep well every night because they didn't know when their heads really moved. Every day when the court was over, everyone raised objections, and Zhao Gou would refute them mercilessly, and slowly everyone was silent.
Even those who are corrupt and take bribes are convinced, and they can't complain about others, they can only resent themselves. If your self-control is high, you will not fall to this, let alone fall into it, unable to extricate yourself, and forget the original intention of being an official.
"If His Royal Highness had been born more than ten years earlier, maybe today's Gao Yu would not be the current Gao Yu." Gao Yu smiled bitterly, he really forgot his original intention of being an official, and forgot the promise he made at the beginning.
He was conquered by Zhao Gou's remarks. Because he himself is like this, if it weren't for his high power, he wouldn't be like this, and he wouldn't be afraid. Perhaps, as others say, you know the value of life when your life is in danger.
At present, all those who have embezzled and accepted bribes in the DPRK and China have been arrested, and some of those who are very corrupt have been sentenced to death. Those who tell the truth are also punished as they deserve. Now there is still one person in the DPRK who has not been caught, and that is Gao Yu.
Zhao Gou is bent on getting rid of Gao Yu, as long as he gets rid of Gao Yu, then it doesn't matter if the prince Zhao Huan is powerful, he can't make too big waves.
"The ninth brother is doing this, he is really torn his face and is going against this palace!" The crown prince Zhao Huan's face was pale, and he roared angrily.
After Zhao Gou made a comeback, he used thunderous means to cut off all corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Among them, the person who was hit was none other than the current Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhao Huan. Because most of those people were his people, but he himself was shocked by the truth he found.
Because after Zhao Gou traced down and made all the evidence public, the crown prince Zhao Huan knew that those people were disobedient and did a lot of shady things behind his back. There are things that he knows, but are not bound; Some were unaware, which made Zhao Huan angry.
No matter which of these people did was enough to sentence them to death, the unwitting greedy ink-loving Tibetan silver was more than twice as much as they knew, which made Zhao Huan very angry, but a little worried. Because some people were recommended by him to take important positions, he didn't expect such a result.
Now there are very few people available around the crown prince Zhao Huan, and they have basically been eliminated by Zhao Gou's thunderous means. If it weren't for Zhao Gou's actions at the emperor's will, and there was evidence, I am afraid that Zhao Huan would definitely think that Zhao Gou was against him.
Even if he could understand, Zhao Huan was still uncomfortable in his heart. If these people are all beheaded, then he is really in name only, just keeping the title of the crown prince, which has no effect, just like a puppet, but Zhao Huan can't do anything, he can only watch Zhao Gou do this.
Gao Yu had already thought about it, and he knew that the next person Zhao Gou would deal with would be himself. At this moment, Gao Yu had no fear, no worries, and no panic, everything went so naturally. Since the crux of the heart was put down, Gao Yu slept more soundly than anyone else.
Regarding the complaint of the crown prince Zhao Huan, Gao Yu was powerless to answer, but was silent. Because he didn't know how to answer, he had to take a deep look at Zhao Huan, but he didn't say anything. If he was given a chance to do it again, maybe he would choose a different path again, but unfortunately he didn't regret it and couldn't do it again, which was his final fate.
A few days later, the Taiwei Mansion was surrounded by heavy soldiers, and Zhao Gou personally came to get people, accompanied by Zhao Yougong, Xu Jingheng, the king of Chu, and others, and even the Shangshu of the Criminal Department also came. But he didn't go in, but waited outside; Xu Jingheng and others were also waiting outside, only Zhao Yougong and Zhao Gou went.
It's not that they don't want to go in, but Gao Yu asked his subordinates to pass the word, saying that they were letting Zhao Yougong, the king of Chu, and Zhao Gou go. Zhao thought about it, so he agreed, and went with Zhao Yougong and the others, he knew that Gao Yu was ready, so he didn't have to worry about him running away or arguing about anything.
When the two of them stepped into the Taiwei Mansion, it was not as magnificent as they imagined, but simple and simple, just like ordinary people's homes, even the tables and chairs were not good wood, they were just ordinary wood, and the others were all operated according to the rules, without a trace of deviance.
At this time, Gao Yu was dressed in plain clothes and ran with tea, looking at them with a smile; When Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong went, they found that the tea was still a little warm, which showed that he had just prepared, without any pretentiousness, without any shelf, and without anger, everything returned to indifference.
At this moment, Gao Yu did not look like a high-ranking captain, but an elderly man. Even if Zhao Gou didn't like Gao Yu, he had to admire Gao Yu's indifference at this time, and respectfully called him: "Tai Wei!" ”
"The two highnesses sit down first and taste how Wei Chen's efforts to make tea are!" Gao Yu greeted him, and took the initiative to invite Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong to sit down, without any hypocrisy, as if welcoming friends from afar, very enthusiastic.
Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong looked at each other, not understanding what kind of medicine was sold in Gao Yu's gourd.
"I'll talk about business later, let's try Weichen's tea first!" Gao Yu smiled slightly and said lightly.
Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong thought about it, and then picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully. I thought it was a good tea, but when I drank it, I found that this cup of tea was bitter and difficult to swallow, so I couldn't help frowning, and finally drank it out of politeness.
Then, Gao Yu brewed a cup again, and then asked Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong to taste tea. It's just that the tea I just drank is too bitter, and I really don't understand it when I let them drink it. But after thinking about it, I still drank it, and this time I found that it was very fragrant, and the fragrance of tea could be felt between my lips and teeth, which made them a little confused.
If there is no good tea, then forget it; There is obviously good tea, why drink so bitter tea.
"Your Royal Highness, do you think that the first bowl of tea is very bitter, and the second bowl of tea is very fragrant?" When Gao Yu saw the looks of the two of them, he knew what they were thinking; Then, Gao Yu soaked them in a glass of water again, and when they took a sip again, they only felt the same as white water, and they didn't feel anything.
"A person's life is like tea, when you go through a lot of hardships and experience the various states of life, your heart is very bitter, and no one can understand. So I vowed to get ahead, and I would use all means to achieve my goal. ”
"When you finally reach the heights you want in your heart, this is when you are in high spirits, no one can match you, and when you are in your prime. At that time, you only have yourself in your heart, and there is no one else, and gradually there is no one in your eyes. ”
"But one day it will be twilight, and then you will realize that the ups and downs of life are up to you. Wouldn't it be nice if you could have a dull life! The life of self-sufficiency is the life that has always been dreamed of. ”
