C1131 Underlying Rules of the Capital (1/2)
Li Tuo was obviously drunk, the chopsticks in his hand knocked on the wine cup, wanting to shout out loud: ”What is the imperial government? What is a Imperial palace? In my opinion, they are a person's heart and brain, and us lowly minor official s are arms, legs, fingers, toes … ”
”On the surface, it seems like we have to listen to the words in our heads, but in reality, we have our own thoughts. Sometimes, we can also affect the decisions in our minds and hearts …”
”Just tell me the Gemeinschaft's Roast Duck Shop. I, Li Tuo, can call it that today, but the truth is that Prince Kung, Prince of Alcohol and the rest can't, so why? ”Because they have high statuses, they have to understand the rules. Old Yang politely said 'seal the stove', could a prince's man force him to fire again just because he was greedy for a duck?”
”If we do such a thing, your reputation would be terrible, right? ”That's why I say Boss Yang respects your highness, but he might not really be afraid of you, because he knows that the prince has to have some dignity, and will never act without a bottom line …”
”Ugh …” Li Tuo burped and continued, ”And we are not princes, and are not even first or second rank officials. To be frank, we did not even think about leaving our names in history, it is impossible for them to leave places for our lowly names, so we do not need face, what use is there if we do not have face?”
”If Old Yang doesn't give me this face today, then I won't give him any face in the future …” What did you say? Don't you know how I'm going to get back at him? ”Haha, there are so many ways …”
”As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to meet. Little devils are hard to deal with!” These people are all imps. Why are imps so hard to deal with? Because the little ghosts are all doing specific tasks, and all of them are just meeting people directly! ”
”For example, you are the assistant minister of work department but you haven't been to the yamen for a day. You have already left for the Western Mountain to imprint your bonds. While Xiu Mu was still in bed, the work department Minister wanted to gather the people from the yamen for a reunion. May I ask who will be the one to arrange the feast? Who will go to the restaurant to set the table and choose the dishes? ”
”We are the ones in charge, aren't we? You can't expect the top officials of the first or second tier to do the job themselves, can you? ”So this is power, these restaurants have to pay us back, otherwise he won't be able to continue this business!”
The zingiberis radix picked up a piece of duck's liver, chewed it, and mumbled, ”My lord, you don't know the rules here, do you think that's all this money? Oh, you were extremely wrong, I will tell you now, do you know how many sets of accounts the Military Intelligence Service has? ”
”Ah?” ”Accounts?” Yang Zhi's brain could not keep up.
The zingiberis radix sneered, ”A few military personnel are controlling the funds allocated by the Department of Revenue, this is for the people of the world to see. Furthermore, the Military Intelligence Service belongs to the inner court, and the Emperor also wants to allocate a portion of his private money to the Military Secretary s to show their kindness …”
Sometimes, when Military Secretary wants to drink a good cup of tea, she would just ask the eunuchs for it. The tea storage is not far from the Military Intelligence Service, truthfully speaking, it is a common occurrence for top-notch officials to steal the Da Hong Pao and bring them home, isn't it?
”Ah?” And the Military Secretary stole from the Emperor's house? ” Yang Zhi listened like an idiot.
”Tch …” My Lord, you really haven't been in the Beijing before. How could it be called stealing when a Minister stole something from the Emperor? As long as you don't steal the national treasure, what's a few taels of tea leaves? ”
”And to tell you the truth, the more you steal from the emperor, the more he likes you. This means that within your heart, there is greed that is easy to control. Furthermore, from the bottom of your heart, you are with the emperor …” How could it be considered stealing from a son's father? ”
Li Tuo waved his hand and laughed, ”Actually, all of these things were entered into the second account in the end, and could even be considered the Emperor's rewards. What I want to say afterwards is the third account, which is a written account between us, Zhang Jing.”
