Chapter 2665: The Way of Being an Official
The tea was a little white and had no taste in his mouth. Sun Fujia did not call the clerk to come in. Instead, he got up and took some tea leaves from a tea can on the bookshelf, poured out the tea in the pot, and brewed it again. A pot of tea, the three of them sat across from each other and poured a cup for each of them.
The two quickly thanked them.
Although Sun Fuga is the lowest among the three in terms of official position and title, he is still senior. He was the "number one" in the first imperial examination during the reign of the late emperor. His reputation is unparalleled, and his status among scholars is beyond the reach of these two. What's more, this gentleman is one of His Majesty Li Er's confidants, and the "holy family" of Youlong is incomparable to the two.
Therefore, in this joint trial of the Three Law Departments, although Zhongshu Sheng has a higher status, Sun Fuga is the leader among the three...
After drinking two cups of tea, Sun Fujia said again: "Since we are considering the long term, I would like to ask you two if there is any better solution?"
He is a practical person with an impatient temper. He can't stand the two people's muddling along and blaming each other. He just wants to finish the matter quickly to avoid delaying it and causing the situation to change and cause trouble. If it leads to a court incident, The situation is in chaos, and that is the sinner of His Majesty Li Er's national policy of the Eastern Expedition.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jie and Zhang Liang held the tea cups for a long time, just lowering their heads and drinking tea in a dull manner without saying a word...
Sun Fujia was a little helpless.
This is how it is in the officialdom. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Even if the administration of officials is as clear as the Zhenguan Dynasty, and the world is stable and the people's hearts are stable, it is inevitable that some bureaucrats will be afraid of being burdened with responsibilities, and will be restrained in doing things, or even shirk responsibility in every possible way.
This is human nature, and it has been inevitable throughout the ages and in all dynasties.
He himself wanted to close the case to avoid deepening the subsequent impact and causing turmoil in the government. However, the two people in front of him didn't think so. They probably just pushed back and forth as they could, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, and they couldn't even say they were repaying the favor behind their backs. There will be some shady and dirty dealings...
Sun Fujia is no longer the hot-blooded young boy he once was. He just vented his anger. This can be explained by his upright character and loyalty to national affairs. But if he continues to vent his anger, it will be a slap in the face of these two people, which will inevitably make people feel uncomfortable. The suspicion of raising yourself up by putting others down.
You are the only one who is loyal and diligent, while everyone else is a deadbeat?
This is a taboo in officialdom...
By the time Sun Fujia reaches this level, he has already reached the position where he can express and receive freely, and be intangible with emotions and anger. He can express his attitude to others in outbursts, and naturally he can also express his position silently.
He asked, but when he didn't get an answer from the two of them, he said no more, lowered his head and drank tea slowly, and stopped asking any more questions, but he also didn't mention that he would discuss such words another day.
Just waste it like this...
The room was eerily quiet. Three people were sitting opposite each other. A pot of tea was steaming and fragrant. Cup after cup was being poured. The sound of "fu luo lu lu" was like the chirping of insects in the middle of the night, one after another, but there was no sound. Destroy this peaceful atmosphere.
People have their own realms. They all have their own characteristics, character, mind, or temper, and they are rarely the same. However, when a person's cultivation reaches a certain level, he will be able to perfectly control his emotions, and he will always be furious. A person will be as quiet as a rock and as motionless as a mountain in a certain scene.
In ancient times, there were no sharper weapons for hunting. If you wanted to fight a beast, you could only rely on your strong determination to confront it. At this time, no matter the hunter or the beast, whoever moved first lost the opportunity and exposed his flaws. .
The opponent can launch a fatal blow in an instant.
Although it is not hunting at the moment, and no one is about to be hunted, the scene is very similar to that of hunting. The three of them are stretching themselves so hard, and no one is willing to step forward first, and then be killed by the other two. The responsibility is put on the head.
At this time, the depth of Taoism is revealed.
So Zhang Liang couldn’t help but stretch his head...
Two pots of tea were changed, and Zhang Liang drank one cup after another. He felt upset and irritable. He moved his legs and feet a few times. Looking at the two old foxes in front of him who were leisurely and leisurely, as if they had no problem continuing to drink all night, he felt a little convinced. , looked around and asked: "Sun Siqing, where is the toilet? I will go to the toilet first."
Without raising his eyelids, Sun Fuga took a sip of tea and said lightly: "There is no toilet in the Yamen of Dali Temple."
Zhang Liang was already planning to get up, holding the mat with one hand and stepping on it with one leg. Hearing this, he froze and said in disbelief: "Why is there no toilet? Don't the officials of Dali Temple usually need to use the toilet?"
Sun Fujia refilled his cup of tea and said: "Our Dali Temple is very lax. The yamen is small. If we build another toilet, the stench will be so bad in summer that the whole yamen will be unable to work. So generally who wants to do this?" If you want to go to the toilet, take a leave and go to the nearby Yamen, or go back home to solve the problem.”
Zhang Liang is a little dumbfounded. Looking at your serious look, if I am missing a few strings, I am afraid I will believe it...
Whose government office might not have a toilet? !
Mother...
But Sun Fujia said, you can't go out and look for it all over the yard, can you? As for going home to solve it... of course it's impossible.
He could imagine that as long as he went home, these two old foxes would be able to prepare a memorial and send it to His Majesty Li Er's desk. Needless to say the content, there would definitely be a paragraph in it: "The Duke of Yun is in urgent need of help". , Go back to the house and go to the toilet", His Majesty Li Er would be able to call himself into the palace and scold him bloody, and he would have to bear all the consequences himself.
As for the explanation...
Could he still tell His Majesty Li Er that it was Sun Fujia, a wicked man, who said that there were no toilets in Dali Temple, and that he had no choice but to return home?
If he really said such stupid things, he would not be scolded, but probably kicked to death by His Majesty Li Er.
What use do you have for such a fool?
……
Zhang Liang had to endure the bulging of his lower abdomen and sat down again.
Liu Ji raised his eyelids, looked at him with a smile, and said warmly: "You are young, but your health is so bad. You can't even compare to two old guys like us. Duke Yun must pay attention to taking care of himself in the future. How about it, can't you bear it? If you can't bear it, it's okay to go back to your hometown to deal with it first. We'll wait for you here."
Zhang Liang said in his heart that I believe you, you are the worst old man. He shook his head quickly and said: "You can bear it, you can bear it. By the way, Sun Siqing's tea is really good. Drinking it will leave a fragrance in your mouth and make you energetic. Haha.”
Before he finished speaking, Sun Fujia had already handed over the teapot, refilled the tea cup in front of him, and said, "I got this from Fang Xiang's house. It is said that Fang Erlang paid filial piety to his father. You really can’t drink tea anywhere else. Duke Yun has a taste for it. Since it tastes good, drink more.”
Zhang Liang has a black line on his face, he just wants to drink more...
Two pairs of old eyes that were not dimmed looked at him together. Zhang Liang had no choice but to raise the teacup, take a sip, twitch the corner of his mouth, and forcefully smile: "Very good, very good, thank you, thank you..."
The teacup has just been placed on the coffee table, and the teapot has been handed over to refill the tea.
Zhang Liang is finally convinced...
"I have thought about it and found that the previous proposal was actually quite good. Although there are many flaws, considering the current situation, it is still the best way to deal with it. If you two have a better way, then say Come out and let’s discuss it. If not, let’s just do it.”
He knew that with his own skills, he would never be able to gain any advantage in front of these two old foxes. Instead of dragging on like this and being tricked by two old guys at some point, it would be better to cut through the mess quickly and suffer some losses. Also put it in a bright place.
Liu Ji glanced at Sun Fujia and asked, "I'm at my wits' end. How about we follow Duke Yun's method?"
Zhang Liang was depressed. He had to keep reminding me that it was my idea? This old guy is really naughty and won't take any risks.
Sun Fujia was unwilling in his heart, but he also knew that these two guys couldn't show the thunderous courage at all. On one side was Fang Jun and on the other was the Guanlong noble. They didn't want to offend or dare to offend, so they had to say: " So let’s do it.”
Liu Jie stroked his beard and nodded, and said: "Since we have the same opinion, let's follow Duke Yun's suggestion. However, we two old guys shouldn't argue with Duke Yun for such meritorious service. Let's put Duke Yun's name first. , we signed it at the end.”
Zhang Liang rolled his eyes, finally seeing the shamelessness of these two old guys.
Who said that Changsun Wuji is the "yin person"?
There are no good people in this officialdom. Haven't you seen that even officials like Sun Fuga, who pride themselves on being upright, self-sustained, and possessing both ability and political integrity, protect themselves wisely and push their colleagues to take responsibility... (End of Chapter)
