Chapter 135: Softness and Rigidity
Every time Han Pingzhi gave him advice before, Zhou Ming cherished it very much, and never objected, but this time, he disagreed with Han Pingzhi's words very much, because when he forced that person to eat a chair, he had a good reason, after all, if he wanted to achieve great things, he must establish his authority in the capital city, even if it couldn't be done to the point where everyone was afraid, at least let the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven know that there was a person like him Zhou Ming.
"Brother Han, I will take your advice to heart, but this time, I can't fully agree with your words." Zhou Ming's words were very decent, soft and rigid, neither openly saying that Han Pingzhi's words were wrong, nor tolerating and admitting mistakes.
Han Pingzhi was stunned, Zhou Ming was obedient to his words before, but this time he suddenly didn't buy it, which made him a little unaccustomed, after all, he said that, he was completely thinking about Zhou Ming, and he didn't have any bad intentions in it.
"Brother Zhou, don't misunderstand, I said this completely for your sake, I'm afraid that you will suffer from these people in the future, don't be too careful, think about other aspects." Han Pingzhi knew in his heart that at this time, Zhou Ming must not be allowed to misunderstand him, otherwise his previous efforts to bring the relationship between them closer would all be in vain.
Zhou Ming nodded with a smile: "Brother Han, is the little brother so confused?" Of course I know that you are good for me, but when I did this, I had fully weighed the pros and cons, and I did not take it personally. ”
"Oh." Han Pingzhi stroked his beard and responded casually, but he didn't understand what Zhou Ming meant, so he didn't say anything more, and waited patiently for him to continue.
"Brother Han, you also know that I have been in the officialdom for a short time," Zhou Zhou Ming did not shy away from saying the words in his heart slowly, "I don't have any background, although the family is a scholarly family for generations, but the family is in the middle of the road, and I have had many disasters since I was a child, my old father broke his heart in order to pull me to grow up, so that he ruined his future, and now he is just a small official in the court, and he has no ability to pave the way for me." ”
Han Pingzhi listened quietly, he knew something about Zhou Ming's family background, after all, Zhou Zhou Ming had cracked the case of the woman's disappearance before, although the court dealt with this matter coldly, but the people were very popular with Zhou Ming, and they all thought that he was a great hero for the people, and his limelight and popularity even surpassed the Yellow Emperor in a short period of time.
He also knew that Zhou Ming's family was in a difficult situation, although he was not like those poor people, who cut down on food and clothing, and ate the last meal without the next meal, but compared with the official eunuchs, their family was also extremely poor, after all, their family's belongings were almost spent, and the whole family only lived on his old father's income before, needless to say, the difficulties were needless to say.
If you want to get ahead with such a family background, this is impossible in itself, but Han Pingzhi is still very puzzled, what is the relationship between what Zhou Ming said and him letting that person eat a chair?
"I've heard of this," Han Pingzhi responded, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, we are brothers now, if there is any difficulty in the family in the future, even if I open my mouth, as long as I still have a kind of porridge to drink, I will definitely not let the two old people in the house go hungry." ”
Originally, Zhou Ming was full of interest and wanted to say the reason why he let that person eat the chair, but after hearing Han Pingzhi's words, he was stunned, his eyes were a little hot, if it wasn't for the fact that a subordinate passed by next to him, his tears almost fell out.
This is not because Zhou Zhou Ming is shallow-eyed, but because he can't stand others being good to him the most, although he also understands in his heart that Han Pingzhi treats himself like this and has a plan, but what does it matter?
There is no love for no reason in the world, others have plans for you, at least you prove that you are valuable, as for whether you will be used by others, it all depends on whether your brain is enough.
For fear of being discovered by Han Pingzhi, Zhou Zhou Ming hurriedly took the opportunity of coughing to calm down his mood, and then found an excuse for sand to get into his eyes, and rubbed his eyes with his cuffs, which covered up his mentality.
Han Pingzhi saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help but be happy, as an old man in the officialdom, he was the best at observing words and feelings, although Zhou Zhou Ming had covered it up quickly just now, but he still noticed Zhou Ming's abnormality for the first time, and from his performance, the reason why his eyes were red and he almost shed tears must have been moved by himself.
Han Pingzhi's psychology was finally steady, he was very sure that the relationship between him and Zhou Ming was unbreakable, and unless there was any unexpected accident in the future, no one would be able to destroy the friendship between them.
"Big brother, since you know the situation of my family, I won't say anything." Zhou Zhou Ming stabilized his emotions and continued, "I don't have the support of my family, and I don't have connections in the court, if I want to soar and achieve great things with such conditions, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky!"
I solved the case of the disappearance of the woman before, and you know what kind of result I get.
If I keep being slaughtered like this and don't fight back, no matter how much credit I make in the future, the court will not take me seriously.
So today, in Huamanlou, when that person provoked me, I decided to clean him up and use him to establish myself as a prestige, as long as this matter spreads, no one will dare to underestimate me in the capital in the future.
As the so-called non-toxic husband, even those people in the court who look at me unpleasantly, after knowing about this matter, will be afraid of me, and when I make meritorious contributions, they will never dare to obstruct me again and prevent me from being promoted to an official and making a fortune. ”
Han Pingyi listened to Zhou Ming's speech, while nodding his head, the more he listened, the more he felt that Zhou Ming's words made sense, with Zhou Ming's current network background, it is difficult to be reused by the imperial court, he wants to make some achievements, he must make dangerous moves, and killing people is a very good way, this move can not only knock the mountain and shock the tiger, scare those cowards in the court, but also further make Zhou Ming famous.
Even if the person who ate the chair died in the end, he could help Zhou Ming to give the person who ate the chair a crime, so that he would become innocent.
Thinking about it this way, Zhou Ming's Liwei move can really be said to kill two birds with one stone, even if Han Pingzhi himself was in the situation at that time, he might not be able to come up with such a trick.
"Good brother, it seems that I think it is simple, you can come up with such a trick in a short period of time, and deal with the person who provokes you, it seems that your ability to adapt to changes is far above me, you are really a hero out of a young man, and I really sigh for my brother."
Han Pingzhi praised from the bottom of his heart, and there was another admiration for Zhou Ming in his heart, as for the idea of looking down on Zhou Ming before, it had long disappeared from his mind.
Zhou Zhou Ming smiled slightly, and did not take praise as a tonic, he ate it all, after all, he had a clear understanding of his own ability, even if he had great ambitions, he could only hide it in his heart now, and what he could do right now was to develop obscenely and accumulate strength.
"Why should the eldest brother be humble! Brothers' methods are all blindfolded, the eldest brother's means are really clever, I, as a brother, please ask the eldest brother to teach me more in the future, otherwise just those detours in the officialdom will be enough for the brother to go through a lifetime. ”
The two unconsciously flattered each other.
"Good brother, let's not praise each other here, it's a serious thing to hurry up and get into the table, otherwise everyone else will eat up all the good things." Han Pingzhi said happily.
Without waiting for Zhou Ming to speak, Han Pingzhi pulled him and went straight to the back hall, the two of them were intimate along the way, talking and laughing, if they were seen by people who didn't know, they thought that the two of them were really brothers.
The house in the back hall of the yamen of the General Affairs Office was not large, and it was impossible to set up all the feasts, so after some thought, the steward placed the banquet in the courtyard.
When Han Pingzhi and Zhou Zhou Ming came to the courtyard of the back hall, there were already five tables of wine banquets in the courtyard, and each table was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, all kinds of delicacies, and there was no shortage of wine.
It's just that before Zhou Ming and Han Pingzhi were seated, even if there were delicacies from the mountains and seas in front of them, the poor people under them didn't dare to move.
Xia Dezhang and Deng Tong led their subordinates to stand next to the table, looking at the dishes on the table, everyone was salivating and drooling.
Deng Tong, as the leader of the Chengnan Patrol Yamen, has usually seen some big scenes, such as the weddings and funerals of friends in the usual officialdom, and when he was with the ceremony, he also had some banquets, but the degree of luxury cannot be compared with today's banquets at all.
Looking at the delicacies and game on the table in front of him that he had never seen before, Xia Dezhang said to Deng Tong very unproductively: "Deng Inspection, don't talk about eating these dishes, I haven't seen them, it must be very expensive to buy a table like this, right?" How do you get this number? ”
Xia Dezhang stretched out five fingers and gestured in front of Deng Tong.
"Fifty taels of silver?" Deng Tong asked with a very knowledgeable look.
Xia Dezhang nodded.
"Dream your big spring and autumn dreams!" Deng Tong said mercilessly, "Do you see the plate of emerald crystal elbows in the middle of the table?" ”
Xia Dezhang looked at a large plate in the middle of the table, there was a big elbow with five or six catties in the plate, the skin of the elbow was crystal clear, just like transparent, people could see the meat and bones on the elbow from the outside, and even if they couldn't smell it, just looking at it, they felt that this dish must be very delicious.
"See, what's wrong?" Xia Dezhang turned his head and asked stupidly.
"Just this jade crystal elbow, the materials and handmade money add up, more than fifty taels." Deng Tong pretended to say that he had lost face in front of his subordinates today, and he finally caught a chance to get back face, how could he let it go easily.
