Chapter 462 Winning a general is comparable to a thousand troops
Chapter 462: Gaining a general is comparable to a thousand armies
Li Chen's words stunned Su Zhenting for a moment.
Su Zhenting was an upright person in his life. The only time he opened the back door was when he couldn't endure a night of begging from his distant relative Zheng Baorong, so he wrote a letter of recommendation and asked Zheng Baorong to get an official position.
Therefore, Su Zhenting really couldn't understand the meaning behind His Royal Highness's laughter.
Seeing that Su Zhenting didn't understand what he meant, Li Chen raised his hand and hooked his shoulder. In the latter's surprise, he chuckled and said: "People also receive gifts for weddings and funerals. I am getting married, and I am marrying someone else."
Your General Su’s daughter, the Queen of Military Gods, is the serious Crown Princess of the East Palace!"
"The ministers of civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty do not accept important gifts, and are they not afraid that I will wear small shoes for them?"
Su Zhenting's eyes widened and he looked at Li Chen in disbelief. He never expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would actually have his mind set on all the civil and military officials, and...it seemed that no one could hide from the sword.
Don't go there.
Su Zhenting, who had never expected that Li Chen would take such a crooked approach, was confused, but he still whispered: "Your Highness, this is not a small amount of money, and some officials really only live on their salaries and cannot afford much.
Come......"
Li Chen waved his hand and said: "Donchang doesn't know exactly how much money each official in the imperial court has, but I can make an estimate and it's definitely no problem."
"No matter how poor I am, those honest officials who live only on their salaries will not be beaten in their teeth."
"My target is those people who appear to be honest and honest on the surface, but behind the scenes they are fattened by the wealth of the people."
With a sneer, Li Chen continued: "I will not kill an official just because he or she is corrupt. This is the case now and it will be the same in the future."
"Because this country is thousands of miles away and the world is too big, most places are destined to be unable to be paid attention to by me at all times. Therefore, there are endless corrupt officials and there is no way to kill them all. So just leave a few corrupt officials who can do things. I
When the palace is short of money and needs to do something, they are much more serious than those honest officials."
Hear the sound of strings and know the elegant meaning.
Who is Su Zhenting? He is a truly wise and foolish figure in officialdom.
He immediately understood what Li Chen meant, and he cupped his hands in front of Li Chen. Su Zhenting sighed: "Your Highness's imperial skills have already entered the palace."
How many young emperors and princes who have been successful in their youth are eager to show their ability to rule as soon as they obtain the greatest power in the world. They wish they could kill all the corrupt officials in the world, leaving only honest officials who are dedicated to serving the country?
But they don’t know that honest officials are not necessarily good officials, and corrupt officials are not necessarily bad officials.
The emperor alone cannot manage the world, let alone the prince. He always needs help from other people, and there are always things that are inconvenient for those in power to do openly. At this time, those greedy people who know how to do it will
Officials who handle affairs are useful. This is called the heavenly mind of the upper body.
Su Zhenting was so blessed that he spoke: "Your Highness, this matter will be handled by me."
If you want someone below to give you a generous gift, Li Chen can't ask for it personally.
The people below don't dare to reveal their wealth to the East Palace easily, so someone needs to remind them.
Su Zhenting thought about it and felt that he was the most suitable person and could only convey this meaning by himself.
Li Chen laughed loudly and said happily: "To win a general is as good as a thousand troops."
Su Zhenting smiled bitterly and saluted, but he knew in his heart that Li Chen had probably dug this hole long ago and waited for him to jump in.
