Di Ying snorted coldly in his heart before continuing: "Your Majesty is angry. The real murderer was found quickly. It turned out to be a prisoner who escaped from prison. He was recognized as soon as he was caught because he had a grudge. The crime of killing Wu Shuangmei’s father, Magistrate Wu.
It didn't take long for the criminal to be named a model.
After that, His Majesty wanted to be nicer to the Wu Shuangmei sisters. After all, their father only left this pair of sisters.
So their husbands, Lu Jiashu and Yuan Zhenghao, were promoted.
They stayed at idle officials who were promoted to the fifth rank, because they really didn't have any talent for officialdom, and they didn't make much achievements after entering the capital city. They stayed in that position for six years.
In these six years, he has faded out of His Majesty's sight. "
As Di Ying spoke, she walked to the top and sat down. After slowly drinking the remaining half of the tea in her hand, she continued speaking in front of everyone's quiet but curious eyes.
"We all know that if you want to be promoted, you not only need political performance, but also money, and you also need to be remembered by His Majesty.
Some officials are very dedicated to their duties, but if they are suppressed by others and cannot come into His Majesty's eyes, then they will be buried forever;
Some people don't need to do anything, as long as they can often dazzle in front of His Majesty's eyes, they can become successful. This is human nature.
After all, human memory is always limited, and everyone’s emotions are focused.
And these two people want money? Not too much;
VIP? What can be considered as their background is their respective wives;
But their wives are not important figures in the Wu family, so this is not embarrassing.
But it would still be good if I could live a peaceful life from now on.
We should always learn to be content and grateful, so that our lives can be safe and smooth.
But these are not two people who can understand these truths.
Of course, it is human nature for water to flow downward and people to move upward.
So, what should they do in such a situation? "
In fact, this is a question that no one else needs to answer, but when Di Ying said this, he paused, lowered his head and continued drinking tea.
There was a slight curiosity in my mind: Why is the tea full again?
Such a pause made Xie Jing think that the adults wanted everyone to use their thinking again, so he stepped forward and was the first to answer: "If I were them, my first thought would be how to get money, and then walk around, Make friends.
Wealth can help the gods, and having more friends makes traveling easier.
The second is to inquire about information, see who are the emperor's ministers, inquire about their preferences and habits, etc., and look for opportunities to please and get close to them.
It would be best to find out His Majesty's preferences.
Of course, this has to be done in a subtle way. After all, this will offend Sheng Yan, and no one will say it publicly.
But it all depends on people. But no matter what, money and connections are necessary. "
Hearing Xie Jing's answer, this also made the guards want to answer actively.
Forget it Nie Bo. He wants to climb up. He just wants to climb to the position of Xie Jing and Zhou Lin, that is, he can always follow his adults instead of being thrown away at every turn.
Fang Bin's answer was: "If I want to make friends, I might make friends with people who are different from Xiao Xie. I will make myself a useful person to others."
Because it is useful, there is a basis for making friends.
No one likes burdens and baggage. Everyone is eager to be useful to others.
If I am useful to others, they will naturally think of me when something happens, and I will naturally be promoted. This is the same as why you often look familiar to His Majesty, or your name sounds familiar to you. "
After Zhao San thought about it for a while, he said: "My ideas are not as complicated as the two of you. I am from the military. If you kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, you will naturally be promoted.
However, if my immediate boss is someone who takes credit or takes credit away from me...then I will be in trouble.
But just like Fang Bin said: let him take it, let him suppress it, and I became a useful person to him.
If he gets promoted, he will definitely drag a fool like me to get promoted together so that he can continue to contribute to him. This can be regarded as an alternative way to get promoted, right? "
This statement made the brothers laugh.
They are all from the military, so they naturally understand this truth, and they all have the same idea.
Since ancient times, military service has been promoted faster than civilian service, because it is easier to make meritorious deeds.
Di Ying smiled slightly as he listened to everyone talking about these things - things that were considered secretive and normal thoughts for the officialdom.
I suddenly felt...
"You, following me, have become too stoic. This is not good. You must be motivated. Then I can send you to the Qingyun. Otherwise, following me, you will have so many achievements. , it would be boring to be demoted instead of promoted in the end, you are all very useful people to me."
When Di Ying said this, the brothers burst into laughter.
"Sir, please don't be ridiculous. Following you is much more interesting than being promoted."
As Nie Bo spoke, he scratched his head and said: "In the past, maybe the main focus was on getting promoted. Once you get promoted, you can command more armies and use your abilities to a greater extent. Make your enemies fearful and your country peaceful.
After following you, I had another feeling. It doesn't matter whether they get promoted or not.
Anyway, if you are promoted, we will be promoted. Even if you surrender, it will have no impact on us. We don’t have to worry about what to do.
On the contrary, following you and seeing the faces of the common people finally smiling, the sense of accomplishment is more satisfying than killing countless enemies.
Oops, I can’t speak, but that’s probably what it means anyway, I always feel that the things I do are more meaningful. "
"Yes, yes,"
Qian Wu said: "Killing the enemy and protecting the territory of the country is peaceful, but if the people's lives within the territory of the country cannot be safe and smooth, will our efforts become less meaningful?
When our family members cannot live peacefully, have enough food to eat, and are bullied, then what we give will no longer be so meaningful, and it will make us feel confused. So, in order for the military to be courageous, we must first have peace of mind among the people, right? "
"Yeah, I think so too,"
Xu Si, who has always been taciturn, finally spoke up: "Thinking about following you, Sir, and seeing the people's hearts are stable, I often think: In this case, the hearts of those comrades on the border will also be stable. Right? Killing enemies can make you more courageous, right?
Even if you fight the enemy to the death, you can rest assured, right? After all, my back is stable. So following adults will make us feel more meaningful. "
