Chapter 124: The Way of His Majesty
"Good brother, listening to what you just said, it seems that you understand a little, but in my opinion, you have never understood it thoroughly." Han Ping said mysteriously with a pretended face.
"Am I not right?" Zhou Zhou Ming looked innocent and asked rhetorically.
Han Pingzhi sighed, this was the first time he felt that it was so difficult to communicate with Zhou Ming, and what made him even more frustrated was that Zhou Ming actually said that he had nothing to do with him just now, isn't this just nonsense?
Han Pingzhi tried his best to calm down, took out the patience he had used to serve Yan Qiu, and said in a calm tone: "Good brother, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other.
First of all, I want to make it clear to you, the banquet for you to eat this big meal is definitely related to you, you let me make such a great contribution, I will do my best as a landlord, thank you, it is a matter of course, even if the court learns about this, it is understandable, and I cannot be convicted of any crime.
The second thing I want to tell you is that although these subordinates nominally obey you and me, if you don't know what your majesty says, it will be difficult for you to make them listen to you willingly.
And how to control is a very profound knowledge. β
Zhou Zhou Ming listened with relish, he entered the south of the city to inspect the yamen as an errand boy, relying on the relationship between his father-in-law, and after entering the yamen, although there is Cao Zhushu has always taken care of him and did not let him be bullied in the yamen, but Cao Zhushu is a civil official, and he has never been a leader, his biggest ability is to give advice to the top boss of the top boss, settle accounts, and write official documents, and Zhou Zhou Ming has no interest in these at all, even his own work, has always asked his colleagues to help him.
So since he entered the officialdom to the present, no one has indirectly or directly taught him the way to be an official, even his father Zhou Ruhai has not taught him this knowledge, after all, he is also a small bureaucrat himself, and there is a question mark over whether he can understand these hard-core knowledge in officialdom.
Seeing Zhou Ming listening to his speech very devotedly, Han Pingzhi felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, just now he had been worried, with the kind of stupidity that Zhou Ming showed just now, it was still unknown whether he could understand the subtleties of his words, but at this moment, seeing his serious look, the doubts in Han Ping's heart were swept away, so he spoke more energetically.
"Hold your subordinates firmly in your hands, let them respect and fear themselves, in fact, it is very simple, on the one hand, you can't starve them, on the other hand, you can't let them eat too much, just like treating their own hunting dogs, if you feed too much, the dog will be lazy and lose fighting spirit, hungry too much, the dog will be hungry and unbearable, skinny, it will not only be useless when hunting, but also drag you back, once you lose control of it, this hungry dog, will bite you back.
And more importantly, you must not let this dog guess what you are thinking, only the unknown is the biggest fear, you have to let him live in fear all the time, and treat you as the only lifeline. β
This remark shocked Zhou Zhou Ming, he never thought that there was so much knowledge to deal with the people under his hands, and he knew very well in his heart that these ways must have been practiced by Han Pingzhi for many years, and they were definitely universal truths, as long as he could learn these tricks, he would naturally take a lot of detours in the future.
At this time, those people in the distance were already waiting impatiently, and the criminals related to the Northern State spy case all felt that their fate and future were uncertain, so they had been in fear, and when they saw Zhou Zhou Ming take them to the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, they all thought that they would be dealt with soon, but they didn't expect that Zhou Zhou Ming and the leader of the Yamen of the General Affairs Office had been hiding aside and chatting until now.
This is undoubtedly a kind of torture for these prisoners, after all, even if they die, at least let them die a happy death, and in this endless waiting, it can only double their pain and fear.
And the officials in the yamen are even more dry and hungry, you must know that since Zhou Zhou Ming came to the Yamen of the General Mansion last night to report the news, until now, whether it is the officials of the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, or Deng Tong and Xia Dezhang, everyone has not dripped.
There had been a huge task pressing on them before, and they had not yet felt hunger, and once the task was completed, as soon as the body relaxed, hunger and fatigue hit together, which made their bodies miserable.
And what made them even more desperate was that Zhou Ming and Han Pingzhi didn't seem to notice this at all, and the two of them hid in the corner, as if they had something to say, if this situation continued, they didn't die in last night's mission, but might be starved to death at this time.
Deng Tong stood at his post, always vigilant, he knew that although the most dangerous moment had passed at this time, there was no guarantee that someone would suddenly jump in from the outside and start killing, it didn't matter if someone else was dead or alive, if there was an accident in Hua Mianlang, Zhou Ming would definitely not spare him.
After all, Hua Mianlang is the most important witness in this Northern State spy case, once he is killed, this case will encounter huge trouble, in case things are reversed, Zhou Ming will not only not be able to make a great contribution, but also a big disaster.
Xia Dezhang, like Deng Tong, has been sticking to his post and not daring to slack off in the slightest, but he saw that the faces of the officials around him slowly revealed a dissatisfied look, and after thinking about it for a while, he knew that this situation must not continue anymore, otherwise even if Zhou Zhou Ming and Han Pingzhi successfully handled this case, it would cause huge criticism.
Because he has been a petty official for a long time, he knows very well that no matter how beautiful the people above are, if the people under him can't taste the sweetness and cause public anger, everyone will unite to dismantle the boss's platform, no matter how strong the background and connections are last time, it will be difficult to deal with such a disaster.
The reason for this is very easy to understand, after all, the open gun is easy to dodge, the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, if you know which direction the danger will come from, you want to take precautions, resolve the danger in advance, in fact, it is very simple, you are afraid of your own people in the back of the trip, so you will not be able to prevent it.
Xia Dezhang glanced at Deng Tong.
Deng Tong nodded, and when everyone was not paying attention, he quietly moved to Xia Dezhang's side, and asked in a very low voice, "What's wrong?" Did you notice something unusual? β
Xia Dezhang shook his head with a very small amplitude, and also said in a very low voice: "I didn't perceive the danger, look at the faces of the officials around you, is it getting more and more ugly?" I'm worried that if we delay like this any longer, even if there are no spies from the northern kingdom to make trouble, there will be chaos in our own people. β
Deng Tong looked away and responded in a low voice: "Who said it wasn't?" I have already discovered this situation, but I can't help it, as soon as Brother Zhou and that Lord Han talk, they will talk endlessly, completely ignoring the thoughts of our subordinates, and if they really want to make a mess, they won't do our business. β
"You're so naΓ―ve!" Xia Dezhang's mind was originally more thoughtful than Deng Tong, and after hearing him say this, he immediately retorted in a low voice, "We worked together with Brother Zhou in the same yamen, and we participated in this case throughout the whole process, if Brother Zhou is in trouble, others can pick it out, and neither of us can escape." β
"What then?" Deng Tong looked anxious, almost out of order.
"For today's plan, we can only make dangerous moves, and one of the two of us will come forward to remind Brother Zhou and let him deal with the current crisis quickly, in case the night is long and dreamy."
"Then you can go quickly!" Although Deng Tong was very scared in his heart, his mind turned quickly and he immediately took advantage of the situation.
Xia Dezhang's eyes widened, he didn't expect his immediate boss to be so shameless: "Inspector Deng, what you said is not authentic, right?" The solution is what I thought, between the two of us, you have the biggest official position, and it is reasonable for you to go. β
Xia Dezhang patronized and broke down the details, and there were inevitably flaws and loopholes in what he said, and Deng Tong was best at grasping these loopholes.
"You also said that among the two of us, I have the largest official position, and I, as your boss, sent you to carry out this task, do you still want to disobey orders?" Deng Tong knew that he had the chance to win, and said with a smug smile.
Xia Dezhang gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do, after all, he didn't speak rigorously enough just now to let Deng Tong grab the handle.
He glanced at Deng Tong, clenched his back molars, turned around, mustered up his courage, and slowly walked towards Zhou Ming.
As he walked, he brewed a rhetoric in his heart, hoping that he would be able to convince Zhou Ming as soon as he opened his mouth, otherwise once things were blocked, it would probably bring great trouble.
Zhou Zhou Ming stood in front of Han Pingzhi, listening to him talk about the way of the emperor very attentively, he was in the afterglow, and suddenly found that Xia Dezhang was slowly approaching him, he was very aware of the ideological realm of his subordinates, and knew that he was approaching this time, and he must have wanted to remind himself to deal with those criminals in the team quickly.
At this time, Zhou Ming's mentality has changed dramatically from just now, he knows that the opportunity to learn Han Pingzhi's experience as an official is very precious, compared to this learning opportunity, there is no need to worry about dealing with those people in the team, after all, even if there is a danger, with the strength of Han Pingzhi joining forces with him, coupled with the full assistance of other masters of the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, the average Northern Country master is not an opponent at all.
When Xia Dezhang was not close to him, he secretly waved to him, meaning to let him go back quickly and not disturb himself, otherwise he would bear the consequences.
Xia Dezhang was frightened in his heart, he didn't know if such a dissuasive behavior would anger Zhou Ming, but as soon as he was halfway through, he saw Zhou Zhou Ming waving his hand to drive him away, which made him panic all of a sudden, he didn't dare to take another half step forward, hesitated for a moment, and finally went back in disgrace.
