Chapter 652: Meaning of Existence
Di Ying snorted coldly in her heart before continuing: "Your Majesty is angry, the real culprit was quickly found. It turned out to be a prison escapee. As soon as he was arrested, he confessed to the crime of killing Wu Shuangmei's father, Wu Xianling, because he had a grudge.
It didn't take long for the celebrity to be exemplary.
After that, His Majesty wanted to be kind to the Wu Shuangmei sisters. After all, their father only left such a pair of sisters.
promoted their husbands, namely Lu Jiashu and Yuan Zhenghao.
stayed on the idle officials who were promoted to the fifth grade, because they really didn't have any talent to be officials, and they didn't make much achievements after entering the capital, so they stayed in that position for six years.
In such six years, he faded out of His Majesty's field of vision. ”
Di Ying said, walked to the top and sat down, and then slowly drank the remaining half of the tea in his hand before continuing to talk in everyone's quiet but curious eyes.
"We all know that if you want to be promoted, you don't only need political achievements, you also need money, and you need to be remembered by Your Majesty.
Some officials are very conscientious, but he is pressed by others, and he can't get into His Majesty's eyes, so he can be buried forever;
Some people don't need to do anything, as long as they can often dangle in front of His Majesty's eyes, they can soar. That's human nature.
After all, people's memory is always limited, and everyone's emotions are focused.
And these two people, want money? Not much;
Need? can be regarded as their background, that is, their respective wives;
But their wives are not big names in the martial arts, so they are not embarrassed or embarrassed.
But it would be nice if I could live in peace from now on.
We should always learn to be content and thankful, so that life can be safe and smooth.
But these are not two people who can understand these truths.
Of course, it is human nature that the water flows down and people go up.
So, in such a situation, what are they going to do? ”
In fact, this is a question that does not need to be answered by others, but Di Ying paused when he said this, lowered his head and continued to drink tea.
I was a little curious in my mind: why is this tea full again?
Such a pause made Xie Jing think that the adults wanted to let the big guys play their minds again, so he took the initiative to stand up and was the first to reply: "If I were the two of them, the first thought would be how to make money, and then walk around and make friends."
Wealth can be channeled, and it is easy to walk when you have more friends.
The second is to inquire about the news, see who is the close minister of the Son of Heaven, inquire about their preferences and habits, etc., and find opportunities to please and get close.
It is better to find out what your majesty likes.
Of course, this has to be done in a subtle way, after all, this will anger the Holy Face, and no one will say it publicly.
But it's man-made. But no matter what: money, connections, are necessary. ”
Hearing Xie Jing's answer, this also made the guards have the desire to answer positively.
Nie Bo forget it. He wanted to climb up, he just wanted to climb to the position of Xie Jing and Zhou Rin, that is, he could follow his own adults all the time, instead of being thrown away at every turn.
Fang Bin's answer was: "If I want to make friends, I may make friends with people who are not the same as Xiao Xie." I will make myself a useful person for others.
Because it is useful, there is a basis for making friends.
No one likes burdens and burdens, everyone is eager to be useful to others.
If I am useful to others, they will naturally think of me when they have something, and I will naturally be promoted. This is the same reason that you often mix up familiar eyes in front of Your Majesty, or have familiar names. ”
And after Zhao San thought about it, he said: "My thoughts are not as complicated as the two of you. I'm from the army, and if I kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, I will naturally be promoted.
However, if my immediate boss is a person who can press or win credit...... Then you can only sigh to yourself that you are unlucky.
But just like Fang Bin said: Let him take it and press it, and I will become a useful person for him.
If he is promoted, he will definitely pull a fool like me to rise together, so that he can continue to contribute to him. This can be regarded as an alternative way to promotion, right? ”
These words were laughed at to the brothers.
They are all from the army, so they naturally understand this truth, and they almost all have the same mind.
Since ancient times, military merit promotion has come faster than that of civilian officials, because it is easier to make meritorious contributions.
Listening to the big guy babbling about this-what is considered a secret and normal mind for officialdom, Di Ying smiled slightly.
I suddenly felt ......
"You guys, follow me, you have become too pure-hearted, this is not very good, you guys, you have to be self-motivated, I can send you to Qingyun in the future, otherwise, follow me, mixed up so many merits, in the end it is not interesting to not rise but degrade, you are very useful people to me."
When Di Ying said this, all the brothers burst into laughter.
"Don't be funny, sir. Following you is much more fun than being promoted. ”
Nie Bo said, scratched his scalp and said, "In the past, maybe the main focus was still on wanting to be promoted. Only when you are promoted to an official can you command more armies and give full play to your skills to a greater extent, so that the enemy can be feared and the country can be peaceful.
After following you, I have another feeling. It doesn't matter if those who are promoted or not.
Anyway, if you rise, we will rise. You're down, and it doesn't matter to us, worry about what those do.
On the contrary, following you, seeing the faces of the people who can finally smile, the sense of accomplishment is more comfortable than killing countless enemies.
Heck, I can't speak, but that's what it means anyway, I always feel like it's more meaningful to do something. ”
"Yes, yes,"
Qian Wukou said: "The territory of the country and the country that kills the enemy is peaceful, but if the people in the territory of the country and the people can't live safely and smoothly, will our efforts become less meaningful?"
When our family members can't live in peace, can't eat enough, and are bullied, then what we pay is no longer so meaningful, and it will make us feel lost. Therefore, for the sake of the army's bravery, we must first have the peace of mind of the people, right? ”
"Well, that's what I think too,"
Xu Si, who has always been taciturn, finally spoke up: "Thinking about following you, my lord, and seeing that the people's hearts are stable, I often think: In this way, those comrades-in-arms on the border can also be stable, right?" You can be more courageous to kill enemies, right?
Even if you fight to the death with the enemy, you can rest assured, right? After all, my back is stable. So following adults will make us feel more meaningful. ”
