Chapter 147
Yin Cheng was stunned for a moment before muttering to herself: "If he does such a cool act, who will do things for him in the future?" β
It's not so much a doubt, but an emotion.
Yin Changying smiled and said calmly: "Being in the phase, why worry about no one clinging?" β
He didn't think Yin Ji's idea was too naΓ―ve, because he knew very well that people with a strong sense of morality and only ideals in their hearts and people who were bent on chasing fame and fortune were originally two completely different sets of judging criteria.
The former feels that the latter is worldly, and the latter finds the former pedantic.
The group cohesive by interests seems to be unbreakable, but in the end it will be dispersed because of interests;
Although the group united by friendship is easy to disperse, once it is solidified, there will be people who are willing to go to the soup for you and spare their lives.
Yin Changying does not reject the former, but he cherishes the latter.
Because no one knows it better than him.
When he was locked up in the secret realm by Changhuan, the person who could tear open the dark canopy was Yin Ji, so she would desperately come to save him, resulting in a very weak strength in the past few days, and she needed to recover slowly.
Although Yin Cheng didn't say it clearly, because it was useless to say it, whether it was Yin Changying, Sun Qing, or Fan Chen, the nature of her strength was not suitable for treatment, she could only self-recuperate, and saying it made people worry.
But Yin Changying saw it, so these days, he didn't let Yin Cheng leave his perception range to prevent her from having an accident.
If on that day, the person who can break the situation is replaced by Jiang Zhong, it would be good if he didn't fall into the well, and the best result would be nothing more than a cold bystander.
Thinking of this, Yin Changying lowered his head, glanced at Yin Hui, and saw her smile bitterly: "Big brother is right, the world is bustling, all for profit." Changxin Hou is in a phase, and he is a gathering of guests, and there are countless people who come and go. Now that the person has not left, the tea has cooled for more than half of the time, and there are few people who dare to speak for him. β
Moreover, it was still when he gave a heavy gift.
Of course, Yin Cheng knew that Jiang Zhong would definitely use the money to smash a road, as for why he didn't give her a ...... Probably because her reputation for "not accepting gifts" is too loud, and there are too many people who hit the wall, right?
Yin Changying didn't know what kind of diet "tea" was, but when he heard her mention it casually, he didn't explain it, so it was obvious that he was familiar with it, and he knew that she liked it quite much.
But why did she never say it?
Is it because it's too expensive?
The two of them walked and chatted, Zheng Gao was knowledgeable, and naturally ordered the temple people to retreat dozens of zhang away and follow from a distance, so as not to hear the conversation between the king and the princess.
Because of this, Yin Changying decided to tell Zheng Gao to come for her later, but heard Yin Cheng ask: "By the way, eldest brother, why would An Pingjun be willing to take risks for Changxinhou?" β
"Guess what?"
Yin Ji raised her eyes to look at him, quite worried: "An Pingjun is not a person who values profit, and his identity is quite embarrassing, even if he believes in Hou Xu with heavy treasures, he can't buy him, is it ......"
She didn't say the second half of the sentence, because if she said it directly, it was tantamount to accusing Zhaoguo's Xiangbang and the prime minister of colluding and wanting to commit treason.
This is a first-class felony, and Yin Ji naturally can't jump to conclusions.
Yin Changying was very calm, and said very casually: "Marquis Changxin did promise An Pingjun that he was willing to help An Pingjun return to China." β
Yin Ji's expression changed in an instant, and she said half-loudly: "I don't understand, the doorman betrayed the benefactor, and the people and gods abandoned him." Xiangbang betrayed the country, how easy it was? β
She was upset.
Love for the motherland is a belief rooted in her and in the hearts of every citizen.
Seeing the people of this era, for the sake of glory and wealth, going to other countries as officials, and even leading troops to attack the motherland, Yin Ji is already very unaccustomed to it.
She had to recite it silently countless times, this is the rule of the times, not to mention that many people have no choice but to come to Zhaoguo, because they were persecuted by domestic ministers and the like, so they reluctantly suppressed this breath.
But Jiang Zhong, as the prime minister of Zhaoguo, actually did this!
It's ......
"Big brother, why didn't you tell me in advance!" Yin Ji was really a little angry, "If I had known about this matter a long time ago, as soon as I saw the two of them, I would have driven people out directly, and I wouldn't have heard so much from Yang Yuan!" β
Yin Changying said with a smile: "Oh? What did Yang Yuan say to Auntie? β
Seeing his attitude of not taking it to heart, Yin Ji didn't want to say it.
But after thinking about it, she still felt that national affairs were more important than emotions, and she had to report on the talent policy, so she repeated Yang Yuan's original words to Yin Changying one by one.
After finishing speaking, Yin Cheng sighed: "I originally thought it was too simple, I thought that although Xu was small, he was also an official and a half-position, and someone was willing to be it." first has the identity of a small official, and then with his political achievements, he is promoted to an 'official', which is another way. But now that I think about it, the 'scholars' who have climbed to the minister's door are afraid that their morale is quite high, and they may not be able to look down on the idle official positions. β
This made Yin Cheng a little disappointed.
In her opinion, any position has a meaning of existence.
If she is not a qualified person for the "Heavenly Doctor", but just an ordinary person, after graduation, she will definitely do something she likes.
Basically, they don't make money, and it's very hard.
Because for Yin Ji, and even many people in her time, material satisfaction was far less important than spiritual fulfillment.
But people nowadays obviously don't think so.
They gathered around the secretary of state for the sake of high-ranking officials, one official and one half-post. In order to try to get the appreciation of the minister and even the king, I am willing to do whatever it takes.
At this time, if you tell them, you should be a petty official with a hundred stones, or a petty official who fights food (that is, only a few buckets of grain is distributed every month, and there is no money).
Unless it's a position next to the king, there is a chance to meet the king, or to be a handyman in the center.
Otherwise, it is not grace, it is revenge.
Seeing that Yin Cheng was a little frustrated, Yin Changying stared at her and said calmly: "Ah Auntie's idea is very good, especially the idea of 'political performance', the promotion, appointment and dismissal of officials really need such assessment standards, and they can't be purely based on military merit." β
"But I don't need it now!" Yin Cheng was a little helpless, "Forcibly stipulate the assessment standards, God knows what the officials will accomplish." I can only arrange some suitable people in grassroots positions first, and after a few years, the eldest brother asked, knowing that they had outstanding political achievements, he promoted them. When other officials saw it, they would naturally follow suit, and over time, a law was formed. β
"Only by moistening things silently in this way can there be no large-scale damage and overwhelming struggles in the court."
"But the problem is stuck in the first step: talented people are unwilling to go to the grassroots!"
Speaking of this, Yin Ji only felt a headache.
If the military merit title system of Tian Zhai cannot be moved, it means that the imperial examination cannot be opened. If you want to circumvent this system, then you can only appoint petty officials on a large scale, not officials.
But those who have the ability think that they should be big officials from the beginning.
The king was moved by their words and deeds, and was directly named a guest secretary, a doctor, and even a third prince and nine secretaries, which was what they wanted.
To be a servant who doesn't even have a good fortune?
It's humiliating! Don't do it!
