Han Pingzhi admired Zhou Ming's honesty very much, because if he met an ordinary person, even if he didn't know the answer to the question, he would definitely talk nonsense.

Han Pingzhi smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Zhou, you are really talented and intelligent, you can understand a little, not bad." The reason why I wanted to entertain you just now is indeed to thank you, but in addition, there is a deeper meaning in it.

After all, you are still young and have not been in the officialdom for a long time, and you will naturally understand the truth when you encounter more things in the officialdom in the future. ”

Seeing that what Han Pingzhi said was a bit off-topic, Zhou Zhou Ming was a little anxious, because he wanted to know earlier that Han Pingzhi's act of inviting himself to a banquet contained several layers of consideration.

"Brother Han, between you and me, there is no need to talk about these false courtesies, I know what material I am." Zhou Zhou Ming said without any worries, he wanted to quickly introduce the conversation to the topic, "You better tell me what is in your heart quickly, after all, this is not a good time for us to talk about the past, you and I both know that there is still an important thing waiting for us to do." ”

After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Han Pingzhi's face was a little embarrassed, after all, what he praised Zhou Ming just now was all out of sincerity, but he didn't expect this kid to be completely unappreciative.

Han Pingzhi coughed dryly, he was an old Jianghu after all, he quickly put his embarrassment behind him, and opened his mouth to say what was in his heart: "Good brother, you are good at everything, but your temperament is too anxious, you must know that sometimes you can't reach it if you want to hurry, no matter what happens, you must be calm and calm." ”

Zhou Zhou Ming nodded, not interrupting him at all.

Han Pingzhi continued: "I just invited you to a banquet, you have already seen the first meaning, I don't need to explain more, and this is not the point.

The point is that there is another layer of consideration in this matter.

Brother Zhou, I believe you also know that the official duty we carried out last night can be said to be very dangerous, you and I have extremely high martial arts cultivation, and it is very dangerous to face such a task, and those people under your command have extremely low martial arts cultivation, and some people have not even awakened their martial spirits.

In front of the supreme Taoist and their peerless masters, these subordinates can be said to have no power to fight back, and letting them carry out such a task is simply a life of death. ”

Zhou Zhou Ming listened to Han Pingzhi's narration, and turned his head to look at those ordinary officials, these people didn't dare to make a mistake after learning Han Pingzhi's eyes, although they were still very curious in their hearts, what Zhou Ming and Han Pingzhi were plotting in the corner, but everyone didn't dare to look here, they were waiting for the two of them, they were all guarding their posts, and they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Seeing them like this, Zhou Zhou Ming suddenly felt that they were very pitiful, in this world of the jungle, they were at the bottom of the officialdom, and they had no ability to control their own destiny, if it wasn't for Zhou Zhou Ming who received the news in advance last night, knowing that those Northern State spies and martial arts cultivation were extremely high, many of them might follow their bosses and go to arrest those Northern State spies together.

Although after they went together, it would not have the slightest impact on the final result of the capture mission, but they might die in vain, after all, in such a cruel environment, Zhou Ming and them, who have extremely high martial arts cultivation, are too busy to take care of themselves, and they don't have extra energy to distract themselves from saving them, so most of them may die in the arrest operation last night.

And unlike big people like Han Pingzhi, these small servants themselves are insignificant to the imperial court, and after a batch of deaths, they just need to be re-recruited, after all, some of the displaced people outside are provided with a mouthful of food, and no one will come to do this.

Therefore, after they die, not only will they not be valued by the imperial court, but they may not even get the consolation money for their families, and they will lose the pillars of their families for no reason, and their families will lose their financial resources, and their families are likely to starve to death because of this.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou Ming was very grateful to Hua Mian Lang, because if he hadn't confessed his companion at a critical moment, Zhou Zhou Ming would probably have made a big mistake at this time, not only would he let many people die in vain, maybe he wouldn't even be able to save his own life, after all, he was fighting against the Supreme Daoist last night, he was the highest martial arts cultivator in the Northern Kingdom, and he had a flying knife stunt.

If Zhou Zhou Ming hadn't learned about him in advance and had been on guard, it would have been impossible to defeat him, because with those two flying knives alone, he would definitely not be able to resist him.

After Zhou Ming was distracted for a while, he quickly withdrew his thoughts and continued to listen to Han Pingzhi.

"If it weren't for the fact that last night, you learned the details of those Northern spies in advance, so that we could be on guard, maybe more than half of these people under you and me would have died, and even if someone survived, they might have been seriously injured, and they could only lie at home for the rest of their lives."

Han Pingzhi's pace of speech was very slow, and his words did not enter the point for a long time, this was his intention, he was afraid that if he said too fast, on the one hand, Zhou Ming would not have time to absorb it, and on the other hand, it would not make a deep impression on Zhou Ming, in that case, his words would not only be said in vain, but would not play any educational role in Zhou Ming .

"It is precisely because of your brother that things have not reached the worst situation, and it can also be said that you alone saved our subordinates." Han Pingyi said while observing Zhou Ming's expression, "Although they have avoided losing their lives, but from last night to now, these people have been frightened and frightened with you and me, and there is no merit and hard work. ”

When Han Pingzhi said this, Zhou Zhou Ming sighed in his heart, he finally understood what Han Pingzhi meant by another consideration.

Although he knew it in his heart, Zhou Zhou Ming was still silent, planning to pretend to be stupid and confused Han Pingzhi first, after all, a smart person like Han Pingzhi can change his face very quickly, at this moment he is your good brother in life and death, maybe the next moment, he is your enemy who is not in the same sky, and for such a smart enemy, you can't show him all the hole cards.

This profound truth was realized by Zhou Ming himself, even if Han Pingzhi understood this truth, he would never teach Zhou Ming.

Han Pingzhi thought that when it came to this, with Zhou Ming's ingenuity, he must have understood, but what he didn't expect was that Zhou Zhou Ming was still looking at him with blank eyes, hoping that he would continue to speak.

This made Han Pingzhi confused for a while, thinking to himself, could it be that I overestimated Zhou Ming? I said everything so clearly, why can't he understand the truth?

As soon as this idea appeared, Han Pingzhi unconsciously glanced down at Zhou Ming in his heart, after all, although he was in a high position and had far-reaching wisdom, the first law in the world, snobbery, treated everyone equally, even Han Pingzhi was no exception.

"Good brother, you don't understand yet, do you?" Han Pingzhi asked tentatively.

Zhou Zhou Ming nodded: "I have a little clue, but I haven't figured it out yet, please continue to talk about it, maybe I will suddenly open my mind." ”

Han Pingzhi didn't show any abnormal expression on his face, he just sneered in his heart, and then continued to talk without changing his face.

"Actually, the truth in this is very easy to understand, Brother Zhou, you just need to think about it, if you are one of these subordinates, following the saddle of the official, busy with the horse, followed by the fear, sometimes even thankless, occasionally there is a danger of losing your life.

After paying so much hard work, once the great success is completed, the official goes to be promoted to get rich and receive rewards, but he falls ill and can't get anything, what will you think in your heart? ”

Zhou Ming still pretended to be stupid, he pretended to think about it for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Of course I will be unbalanced, a person with a bad temper like me may openly stand up and bring his brothers to make trouble." ”

Seeing that Zhou Ming finally got to the point, Han Ping's face was delighted: "Alas, brother, you have finally opened your mind, that's it."

But then again, not everyone is as courageous as you, brother, and I can guarantee that no one in your yamen, or in our yamen of the General Affairs Office, dares to make trouble openly.

At most, they dare to stumble behind their backs, steal and play tricks when they run errands, and don't do their best.

There is also collusion with each other to form an alliance of interests, no matter what kind of orders the boss gives, they all obey the yang and the yin, deliberately mess up the things they have explained, and finally make the top boss lose their official position and lose their lives, which is their routine operation. ”

These words caused a lot of shock in Zhou Ming's heart, because before this, he always thought that the most important thing in the officialdom was to get rid of the people above, because these people were his top bosses, whether he was promoted to make a fortune, or demoted and lost his life, it was a matter of their words.

But now he understands that the knowledge of being an official is really big, and if you want to achieve something in the officialdom, you must not only serve the top well, but also unite the people under your hands, as the so-called strong fortress may collapse from the inside.

If you want to call for wind and rain in the court, you must have your own forces, and if you can't do a good job in the relationship within your own forces, you don't need enemies to defeat you, and a gust of wind blows, and you may fall apart by yourself.

"Oh, I finally get it." Zhou Ming pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "It turns out that the eldest brother wants to entertain me, but in fact, the real purpose has nothing to do with me, you just want to block the mouths of those subordinates." ”

Seeing Zhou Ming say the first sentence, Han Pingzhi was very happy in his heart, thinking that he was really enlightened, but when he heard it, Han Pingzhi's face became serious again.
