Chapter 127 A sharp knife from behind
Chapter 127 comes from the sharp knife in the back
As the saying goes, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, these small officials are the head snake, they have great energy in the local area, and if the county commander wants to make political achievements in his own office, then these head snakes must be the object of wooing.
Don't look at the fact that nine out of ten officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty passed the imperial examination, but these people only think about "only reading the books of sages and sages, and ignoring things outside the window." "I've been studying for more than ten years, but my mind is full of mush. Those who open their mouths and close their mouths are helpless about how to govern the place.
After all, in the eyes of the common people, those broken books are not as important as a grain of grain in their hands, and you can't use Confucian ethics and morality to suppress them.
The common people are ignorant, and they are also clear about good and evil, and if you don't let the local people live, then your official is likely to be blocked by the people at the door of your home.
This is the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty is a huge empire with unappeased frontiers, and the country is established by force, although it has been peaceful for a hundred years, but the belligerent factor in the blood of the common people has not completely disappeared, forcing them to be anxious, and it is very likely to rebel.
This is not without precedent, a hundred years ago, the county order of Qingyue County was honest and honest, but it was pedantic and rigid, and the small officials in the yamen were often beaten and scolded, and the county was completely governed by the model book of the Confucian classics, and the people were miserable, and the psychological state of the county commander was surprisingly good, and he thought that he must be peaceful and peaceful in governing the county in full accordance with the sage classics.
But his subordinates were fed up with his oppression, and finally they could not bear to go on strike, and the normal operation of the county government was completely out of order, and in the summer of that year, it rained heavily, countless people drowned, and the entire county town starved for thousands of miles, and the "benevolence and morality" in the Confucian books all became bullshit, and the county order was finally hacked to death by the angry people!
This rebellion was quickly suppressed by the imperial court, and the process of suppression was also very simple, the general of the unified army only sent out the small officials in the local county government, and under the war of words of these people, the mob put down the kitchen knives in their hands! However, this rebellion really taught the county commanders everywhere a lesson, the common people are the best to fool, as long as they give them a bite to eat, they will not rebel, but even if you are honest and honest as an official, but if you make the people hungry, then you really deserve to die.
Moreover, at the grassroots level, the county magistrate must obey the officials of the yamen, otherwise, these people have too much energy, and they can completely make you look down on mortals in heaven one moment, and become an evil ghost in hell the next moment.
This is just a place, even if it is the imperial capital, Luoyuan City, the ability of these people should not be underestimated.
As long as the ministers with a little brain will be smooth to dot the relationship between the upper and lower levels, after all, they can be small officials in the six central departments, the cabinet or the three law departments, how can their identities be simple?
I don't know if this little person you are calling and drinking is the son of a princely family.
It's not impossible, the princely family, this is already a privileged class, they also want to get ahead in the future and rank in the court, but they don't want to pass the exam to enter, so they can only be a small official in the department they like now, and after finding out the relationship there, there will be family members up and down.
The most unfortunate thing is that these small officials may also be the sons of the housekeeper of the prime minister's family, and the seven officials in front of the prime minister's door, which can be very involved.
And the most unfortunate thing is the head snake of Luo Yuancheng, these people are the least easy to offend, although they don't have much power, but people have their own way, they believe that you respect me a foot, I will pay you back, you punch me, I will kick you, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
They may be your most loyal subordinates, or they will be your most unguardable sharp knives, stabbing you in the most careless and deadly places in your heart!
Li Zhaozhong is proud of his talents, and he offended these little shrimps in his eyes, but he didn't know that the strong dragon could not suppress the head snake, he was indeed the supervisor of the imperial history platform, but the imperial history platform was tilted against each other, even if he had Lin Zhaonan's support, he might not be able to sit in the position of the middle of the imperial history, and there would always be countless eyes staring at him around him.
The two little officials stared at Li Zhaozhong's figure with unkind eyes, and in the distance, they heard a burst of laughter again, "Lao Liu, Lao Song, what are you two guys doing standing here?"
The two officials were stunned for a moment, and saw a middle-aged man walking towards them with a smile.
"Yo, Master Qi, you have been healthy recently. As soon as the two officials saw him, they smiled and returned the salute, as if they were very familiar with this Lord Qi.
Qi Tai, the Yushitai servant Yushi, is also a well-known good old man in Yushitai, is the middle of Yushitai, and does not advocate the comeback of Yushitai, but he also does not want Yushitai to stop.
This is a middle-aged man, his skin is well maintained, although he is over half a hundred years old, but his hair is still black, his skin is firm, and he can't see the slightest bit of age.
The relationship between this Lord and the adults in the Imperial Historical Observatory is quite good, even Li Zhaozhong can talk to him, and this person is the most unscrupulous, others look down on the little officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory, but Qi Tai treats them equally.
"Lao Liu, I heard that your daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby last month, why didn't you invite the official to drink. Qi Tai said with a smile.
Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Lord Qi, isn't this the life of a villain? You are a dignified lord of the imperial court, and we are a yamen official, this is ......"
Qi Tai said with a serious expression: "Lao Liu, you are wrong, you and this official are masters and servants in public affairs, and friends in private, you Lao Liu has a child, and the official is also very happy." He fumbled through his cuffs for a while and took out a money bag, "I can't prepare any congratulatory rites in a hurry, this is ten taels of silver, which is a gift from the official." ”
Lao Liu hurriedly grabbed the money bag and was about to excuse himself, Qi Tai waved his hand, "What, Lao Liu, you and I are old friends, this is still outside? ”
Lao Liu was moved to tears, who is Qi Tai? This is an upright court official, the imperial history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, can actually be called a brother and brother with him, this heart is very hot.
Qi Tai greeted Lao Song for a while, and then walked slowly towards the outside of the Yamen of the Imperial Historical Observatory, these days the Imperial Historical Observatory is very busy, busy with the whole person, busy with killing people, even the good old man Qi Tai can't take a rest.
However, the old man was full of energy, he sat in the official sedan chair that had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and left leisurely.
Lao Liu watched Qi Tai's official sedan chair leave with envy in his eyes, and then smacked his lips and said, "Look at Lord Qi, this is really treating us as human beings." ”
Lao Song nodded, speaking of which, there is not much difference between the imperial history of the imperial court, anyway, what is done is biting work, except for the imperial history Zhongcheng, who has achieved this position, that is the leader of the imperial history platform, and is the spokesperson of the entire imperial history platform, that is how beautiful it is, of course, it was only before.
Now the entire Yushitai is clamping his tail and being a man, as the boss of the Yushitai, he now has to succumb to the six Shangshu.
Of course, now is an important moment for the comeback of the Imperial Observatory, and in the case of all the mad dogs that have been released to bite and have to be effective, this kind of tail clamping is undoubtedly a kind of forbearance.
Lao Song suddenly said to Lao Liu mysteriously: "Lao Liu, do you think this Lord Qi is good to us?"
Old Liu Hu glanced at the old brother suspiciously, I don't know why he said this, in fact, Qi Tai is really good to the little officials of the Yamen.
Lao Liu also knew that Lao Song's mother was seriously ill and had to spend a lot of money every month, so Qi Tai had to subsidize Lao Song's living expenses every month.
These people all live at the bottom of Luoyuan City, they are the real snakes of Luoyuan City, and everyone has gone to school and found a relationship, so they entered the Yushitai and became a Xu official, Yushitai is an unpopular place, no one wants to come here for the children of rich families, and it is precisely because of this that they can enter here.
But these people are grateful for their kindness, they are very principled, whoever is good to them, they are good to them, and whoever is bad to them, then they will definitely greet this person's eighteen generations of ancestors, and all the women in the family.
Lao Liu and Lao Song are definitely the leaders in the Yamen of the Imperial Historical Tower.
This is not only because they have a lot of "face" in Luoyuan City, but also because they know how to observe words and feelings, and understand the rules and the depth of the water.
Yushitai is not easy to get ahead, they are all biting, they will bite, the competition is fierce, and it is difficult to get ahead.
But Lao Liu and Lao Song see very clearly, this time is an opportunity, in the general situation that Yushitai wants to make a desperate comeback, there will be countless heads on the ground, and countless people will come into people's sight.
Lao Song said: "What are we doing, we are specially to deliver official letters to the adults in the yamen, as long as we have the heart, hehe......"
Lao Liu's eyes flashed, dazzling.
......
Maybe Li Zhaozhong never knew that his arrogance had offended many people unconsciously, and when two people were standing in the same position of the scales and maintaining balance, as long as the slightest weight pressed over, the whole situation could be changed!
Li Zhaozhong is a scholar, even if he is a cool official, even if he has a lot of blood on his hands, but his arrogant character in his bones makes him just a scholar.
And Lao Liu, Lao Song and others are ruffians, they can press their net worth for a little silver, and their character determines the trend of all this, Qi Tai is a good man, and he is good-tempered in everything he treats people.
So he won the respect of the Ground Snake, and according to the rules of the Ground Snake, they will reward him a lot!
A sharp knife appeared behind Li Zhaozhong!
