Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 885 Good wine and bad meat!

Sun Fujia was a quick-tempered person. After he came out of the Xuanzheng Hall, he went directly to the Ministry of Shangshu to find Fang Xuanling to complete the order, and then brought the prisoner back to Dali Temple overnight from the Ministry of Punishment.This kind of thing can't be slackened, otherwise it will be inevitable to have long nights and dreams. You must know that Zhao Shishi is a man with all-hands and eyes.

To this day, there are still many complaints about the case of Zhao Shida and Wang Changgui in the court. They are all officials who are used to flattery.Dou Kuan and the others never gave a damn about the evidence they found. Since they didn't buy a lot of money, they only had witnesses of bribery and occupied land, so they shouldn't be charged with such a big crime.

These gentlemen are used to standing up and talking without pain in their waists. How do they know that some officials are greedy for money and sex?

Among other things, the bitter masters who occupied the land could eat the flesh and skin of those two bastards without any skin pain. They, who eat and drink all day without worrying about food and drink, would not understand this truth.

Of course, after he was busy, Sun Fujia still did not forget the prince's entrustment. He sent messengers to the Daiguo Mansion early the next morning, and told the former general-Li Jing that he could visit the prison at any time. After he had seen it, any No one has the right to visit, and this opening must be tightened.

Dali Temple - Prison, after asking the guards to put wine and meat on the table, Li Jing and Zhao Shida sat opposite each other in silence, as if time had frozen at this moment, Li Jing didn't know where to ask, this is the most promising thing in the army One of the generals, why has he been reduced to this point.

After a while, Zhao Shida sighed, breaking the original tranquility: "It is said that the clothes are not as good as the new ones, the old ones are better, the wine is good, the meat is rotten, and even now the general still remembers the obsession of the humble officer. The humble officer really doesn't know what to say Come and be grateful."

"Shida, you shouldn't do this, as long as you work patiently, the sun will shine on you sooner or later, won't it?"

Li Jing looked at Zhao Shida with regret. Although he was a little annoyed that Zhao Shida had deceived him into trusting him, he was more regretful. What he recalled in his mind was also the glorious years in the army.

Hehe, after picking up two pieces of meat, Zhao Shida smiled and shook his head: "General, you are still the same as before, you are too naive, and you still don't know much about being an official!

Wait, what are you waiting for? Is the opportunity waiting for you?How many officials there are in the entire Tang Dynasty, how many people can be as lucky as Ma Zhou, Dou Kuan, and Wang Zhi! .”

The reason Zhao Shida gave was very simple and clear. If an official from a poor family wants to reach a high position, in addition to having enough ability, he must also have the help of real nobles. Otherwise, there are not many opportunities to get ahead. It is rare.

For an official like Zhao Shida who came from a poor family and has no foundation in the court, it is as difficult as going to the sky to be promoted, and he will never want to be promoted in his life; the court advocates rewarding meritorious service, but it will always be the first to go, Your Majesty will know They are the only ones, because there will be people whispering in his ears all day long.

It is easy to say that it is easy to benefit one party for one term of office, but if it is really done, it will definitely become an unconventional joke in the officialdom, and everyone will look at him like a fool.Zhao Shida had too much energy and blood in his life, and he didn't want to be such a fool when he crawled out of the dead.

When I was in the army before, I ate chaff and swallowed vegetables, and no one mended even the torn clothes. When I went to sleep at night, I had to worry about the enemy coming out of the black trails everywhere and killing me; I finally became an official in the local area. Why do you have to endure hardships and suffer, looking at other people's rich clothes and fine food makes you greedy.

Besides, we are not enjoying it for nothing. After fighting for so many years, throwing our heads and blood for Datang, this is the relationship between giving and rewarding. It is better than those who grew up with golden keys in their mouths. The children of your relatives are much better off!

"General, don't you don't like to listen, that's what being an official is like, if you don't be greedy, there will always be people who will be greedy, we may be less greedy, and we may not ruin the families of the people.

Looking at this world from a humble position, people cannibalize people, living in dreams forever like a general, and missing too much fun, isn't it a pity to live like this. "

Li Jing didn't expect Zhao Shida to think so in his heart, and he had to admit that the prince did have unique insights in employing people.When other people recommend it, they just hand over the notebook as appropriate, but he would think twice.He has lived at such an advanced age, and his knowledge and perception of people are not as good as that of a young man. Hey, his life is in vain.

"Shida, even if you are plotting in every possible way and are unwilling to do anything, aren't you still in jail, waiting to be executed?"

"General, people don't kill themselves for their own sake. We are all parents. There is nothing wrong with abandoning ourselves and accumulating more wealth for future generations! You should be content with living so long and surviving so many crises." .”

"Really?" Li Jing raised his eyebrows and asked after drinking a glass of wine.

"Isn't it? General, isn't it the same for you? We all go to the same destination!"

"Shida, sometimes people are not as good as heaven. Your only son, Zhao Fengpei, was dragged into the case of Kong Yingda's grandson. He was silenced and exterminated. What's the use of leaving more money!"

Hearing what Li Jing said, Zhao Shida's face turned one side, but he soon returned to normal, took a sip of his wine, and said in a deep voice: "General, you taught the low-level cunning rabbit three caves back then, and you will never forget this low-level job. , so I dare not be sloppy about the issue of family inheritance, as for the son, of course there is more than one."

"What's the relationship between you and Sun Wei, what's their background, are there any officials besides you who have a relationship with their family?" Li Jing asked this question on behalf of Sun Fujia, and the Kong family's case was very noisy Xiao, who is also a Confucianist and a generalist, if there is a result earlier, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Jing is Zhao Shida's old boss, and the two of them have a good friendship, if he asks, the effect is much better than going to court, which is why Sun Fujia is so eager to let Li Jing come to visit the prison.

Hehe, "General, I can't escape death, I will die if I say it, I will die if I don't say it, why would I feel uncomfortable looking for that one! I owe you a favor, let me remind you, don't get involved in this matter , you can't control the affairs of the Sun family."

"Shida, today is the old man asking you, we can say whatever we want, but if you change to Sun Fujia tomorrow, then you will inevitably suffer from flesh and blood." After being drunk by Zhao Shida , Li Jing replied solemnly.

"Hey, don't worry, the general, how much better the Dali Temple is than the Ministry of Punishment, the humble official doesn't care at all. Of course, if the humble official can be spared, the humble official can know everything and talk endlessly. You say, the court can Agree?".
