Chapter 727 (1/2)
Di Renjie sighed helplessly in his heart, and his heart was filled with a wry smile. He was cheated by his Highness the prince. Although he said that as the Minister of Dali temple, as long as his highness decided to do so, he could not escape the responsibility of Dali temple.
But this time, the prince's Highness has put all the people with status and status in the world as the opposite. This is the fundamental problem that forces him to decide which side to approach.
And I, after this battle, will never again be like before, wandering between the noble family, the royal family and the prince's highness. I must firmly choose one side to stand in line.
He even imagined that after all the foreign envoys arrived in Chang'an, even if Chang'an city was calm and nothing happened, his royal highness would make a few accidents himself, forcing himself to face the pressure of noble families, Royal relatives or foreign envoys, so as to let everyone know that di Renjie was the prince's Royal Highness.
However, di Renjie, who is now in a difficult position, has no choice but to retreat in the face of the prince's aggressive and bright eyes.
Therefore, di Renjie could only look at Li Hong's eyes frankly, as if he had let Li Hong's eyes directly point to his heart. He nodded solemnly and said, ”yes, your highness, I understand. I obey my orders.”
Naturally, Li Hong would never allow a member of the imperial court to wander between the noble family, the royal family and him, his father, the emperor, his mother and his wife. Then he could take advantage of the interests of several parties, but he could ignore the responsibility of each party.
As long as there are people in the world, there will always be a conflict of interest, and in the conflict of interest, there is no one who can only occupy the interests without taking any responsibility.
No matter who it is, no matter what era, there will never be a free lunch in this world unless you don't live in a social environment where people live in groups.
But as long as you live in the social environment, as long as you belong to social animals, then you can't always walk between the parties, only to take advantage of the benefits without suffering losses.
No matter in the workplace or officialdom, this kind of person is the pronoun of sophistication in everyone's eyes. This kind of person often makes some people think he is noble. In fact, this kind of person has the deepest and most stingy mind.
It's a coincidence that di Renjie is a stingy person. Even the maids and servants in his family are controlled within 20 people. Even the residence of zhengsan grade officials has never been repaired on a large scale. He always makes small repairs, but the advantages are Li Hong didn't know whether Di Renjie really had no money or not.
It may be that di Renjie is not willing to make large-scale repairs and keep a low profile. However, no matter what his personal conduct is, if he is above the officialdom, he must follow Li Hong's custom-made rules to serve as officials. The previous set of rules is obviously impossible to continue to work.
Even Xiao Xue and the summer solstice around Li Hong obviously do not want to see Di Renjie, so we can know how wise Di Renjie is in dealing with the world and being an official.
At that time, he misunderstood Lou Shide, the governor of Luoyang, and even thought that Lou Shide used a sinister strategy behind him. However, when Wu Mei clearly told him that he could be appointed Minister of Dali Temple successfully, there was also Lou Shide's personal recommendation and advice.
This also made Di Renjie blush, full of shame, and even had no words to face the promotion and recommend his Lou Shide.
Li Hong, who only left a beard on his chin, obviously referred to several popular shapes of his beard in the past. He asked Xiao Xue to trim his beard with sharp scissors every day, or he was very narcissistic in the face of the mirror, looking at his beard, boasting and boasting: how can I be so handsome! How can I be more and more handsome every day!
However, in Li Zhi's and Wu Mei's eyes, they are not satisfied with what they see. They even want to stretch out their hands to get rid of them. Wu Mei even once encouraged Pei WANYING to shave Li Hong after he fell asleep.
But do not want to, this seemingly easy, but full of dangers and difficulties and obstacles of the task, in the end, Bai Chun did it.
However, Bai Chun was greatly praised by Empress Wu Mei, and was also punished by Li Hong. It is said that Bai Chun's plump buttocks couldn't sit down against the cushion because of the pain!
At the moment, feeling his beard again, he looks thoughtfully at di Renjie's departure. Xiaoxue beside him does not conceal his disgust of Di Renjie, and snorts coldly at di Renjie's back.
”Your Highness, the Japanese envoys have arrived and want to see you.” Hua Meng enters the study of Chongwen hall again and looks at the prince's highness who is laughing and discussing with Xiaoxue. Gongsheng says.
”Japanese envoys? Who is it? ” Li Hong seems to have been stung by a hornet for a moment. He looks back at Hua Meng with a strange expression. Suddenly, an ominous premonition rises in his heart.
”It's the son of the Japanese emperor Ozu.” Hua Meng looked at Li Hong, whose expression was somewhat astonished, lowered his head and said.
”I'll go Don't you think you're playing with me? You're not going to get it? ” Li Hong's facial expression is a little numb sitting on the sofa, muttering to himself.
