"I have to be greedy. Only by being greedy can I make the emperor feel at ease?"

"That's right!"

"Why do emperors like greedy people?"

"Because he can control, this will also lead to binding each other. If you are an upright official, he will not be able to kill you even if he wants to find a reason to kill you. If you want to contradict him, you can contradict him. If you want to quit, you can quit. Who is this? If you can like it, you must!"

"Wouldn't that make you a slanderer?"

"Anyway, if you want to be stable for a long time, you can't be a completely upright official. You must have some control in the hands of the emperor!"

Greed needs to have a scale, and this scale depends on the balance in the emperor's heart.

This greed needs to be tolerated by the emperor, and cannot be excessive, otherwise it will be punished by the emperor.

Li Shaojun was not an official, but he traveled around and met many people, and his perspective on world affairs was different from Zhang Xuezhou's.

His suggestion was sincere.

Zhang Xuezhou came down from the Jade Emperor. After all, Li Shaojun felt that the other party was most likely a spy sent by Xianting.

Moreover, Zhang Xuezhou is very articulate, but the other party's current shortcoming is his lack of experience.

If Zhang Xuezhou wanted to integrate into the Han Dynasty, he could not at least become a clean stream, not to mention collaborating with others.

The rules of conduct in the world are so unreasonable. This is not a question of how honest Zhang Xuezhou wants to be.

Li Shaojun doesn't want to meet someone from Immortal Court who will die within a few years, or wander outside the court and be unable to complete the mission of Immortal Court, causing the other person's value in Immortal Court to drop significantly. .

As long as Zhang Xuezhou lives well, Li Shaojun feels that he will live well.

As long as Zhang Xuezhou becomes an official in the imperial court and has a certain position, the handle he has grasped will continue to be effective, and he can continue to obtain what he needs, and may even intercept the rewards this guy received in Immortal Court.

Li Shaojun suggested with a friendly face, but in his heart Xiao Jiujiu had already crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains and was waiting for Zhang Xuezhou to jump in.

"What you said makes perfect sense, I've learned a lesson!"

Li Shaojun did not provide any positions in the court that were suitable for him, but Li Shaojun taught Zhang Xuezhou the principles of officialdom.

This made it easy for him, who was well versed in pseudo-psychology, to understand.

In the final analysis, this is a question of human nature, and what is even at stake is the human nature of emperors.

Being too arrogant will only make the emperor doubt the purpose of doing things. If you want to live a good life, you really cannot do without some small handles given to the emperor from time to time.

As long as it's harmless, everything will be maintained under a tacit understanding.

If he is not awakened by others, even Zhang Xuezhou will find it difficult to understand. Instead, he will follow his own rules, making it difficult to get out of a siege. He will even keep searching for the reason why the emperor does not reuse an honest person like himself.

"So we will be greedy for money in the future?" Rong Tianding asked doubtfully: "This makes me feel like I can't fit in unless I do bad things!"

"That's what it is!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded, and Rong Tianding was there again saying, "This kind of thing is really strange."

Only when demand arises can the emperor rest assured that his subordinates will do their jobs.

For example, Xianting is very at ease with those who seek to extend life. As long as the golden elixir for extending life is in hand, these people can't escape from the palm of their hands at all.

But Xianting is very troublesome for people who lack needs.

For example, Nezha is currently known to Zhang Xuezhou.

This is also a practical reason why Nezha is not popular.

Nezha, who has no need, does things as he pleases, and his attitude of doing things as much as he likes makes it difficult to entrust him with important responsibilities, let alone share actual benefits.

Zhang Xuezhou's mind moved quickly and he even found comparative cases.They discussed the difference between being an official and being a human being for a while. When Jinchang emerged from the shadows on the ground again, the three of them stopped whispering.

"How is it?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"Found it" Jinchang nodded.

"It's amazing. There are so many people masked. How did you find them?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.

Zhang Xuezhou boasted that he had good eyesight. He even spotted Jinchang and Lei Quilt early, but he did not see Zhang Cigong. Zhang Xuezhou did not expect that Jinchang would find Zhang Cigong a quarter of an hour later.

"It's nothing, I shouted Zhang Xuezhou in everyone's ears, and he was the only one who responded," Jinchang said softly.

"I……"

Zhang Xuezhou was also glad that he had started a new business and relied on the name Dongfang Shuo to act. If he still used the name Zhang Xuezhou, he would probably be tricked to death by Jinchang.

He kicked Li Shaojun, who was slightly shocked, and then muttered that Jinchang was unreliable and might get into all kinds of trouble in the future.

"What are you afraid of? It's me," Jinchang said with a smile.

Jinchang does have other ways to accomplish this. On the one hand, calling him by name saves trouble. On the other hand, Jinchang also hopes that Zhang Xuezhou will be more honest and rely more on him.

Only when Zhang Xuezhou continues to need him can he feel free to let the other person do things.

If it weren't for his current physical problems, he might even kill some knights and knights, saying, "Remember, the murderer is Zhang Xuezhou."

This method of framing the blame is very low-level, but it is often the most practical. It is easily believed by some reckless people, and they even spread rumors to prove it. It is extremely difficult to defend and prove.

"Then you have to protect me!"

Zhang Xuezhou replied slightly angrily, which made Jinchang extremely satisfied.

"You said you have the key to the secret vault, but what should Young Master Su Fei do if he doesn't have the key?" Li Shaojun interrupted.

"Forcibly open it without a key," Jinchang said indifferently: "It may cause a collapse somewhere, or it may cause the machine to fire, who knows!"

"Then it seems that who rushes faster and who dies faster is still the same!"

Li Shaojun nodded, indicating that he was aware of the situation.

No matter how seasoned the knights and vigilantes are, it is difficult to control their desires when faced with treasures at their fingertips, and the patience they have accumulated before will inevitably disappear when they see the entrance to the secret vault.

If it weren't for Zhang Xuezhou and others, even Li Shaojun would sneak up and have a look at the situation.

Several people discussed in low voices and waited for less than half a quarter of an hour when they heard a loud roar and the large temple that Su Fei had guided shook several times.

The loud noise was mixed with the sound of mechanical crossbow arrows.

"Su Fei, you are harming us!"

Angry shouts and curses were heard, and several people defended Su Fei and retorted, and there were even sounds of heads being harvested.

"Are our keys still useful?" Rong Tianding asked in a low voice.

"They triggered the mechanism, not the lock," Jinchang replied casually: "When these people are tired of picking locks, it's time for us to appear!"

"You are really far-sighted," Zhang Xuezhou praised.

"Do you want to flatter everyone you meet?" Li Shaojun asked in a low voice.

"Why are you talking? I can't even tell the truth!"

Zhang Xuezhou felt that if his attitude didn't change, Jinchang would think there was something wrong with him. After all, Jinchang was secretly exerting pressure. If Zhang Xuezhou bowed his head in submission and didn't make it obvious, Jinchang might do something more exciting to remind him.

This change in Zhang Xuezhou's attitude obviously made Jinchang extremely satisfied. He was even more assured that he would let Zhang Xuezhou go to Wenying Pavilion to recite the tomb scriptures without worrying about Zhang Xuezhou's hidden behavior.
