I want to be a good person, but unfortunately I can never find the opportunity...
This sentence was a joke that a friend of Zhao Junchen's previous life often made.
At that time, Zhao Junchen just thought this statement was interesting, but now, he actually feels the same way.
Since Zhao Junchen came to this world, he has deceived the people, bewitched the king, embezzled and bribed, fought for power, conspired, corrupted people's hearts, and so on. He has done all the things that a qualified corrupt official should do and needs to do, and he has done it.
's outstanding.
But "what corrupt officials should do and what needs to be done" and "what a person should do and what needs to be done" are two completely different concepts.
When he was in "Heaven and Earth", he watched Fan Binqi's gradual transformation. In fact, at the beginning, Zhao Junchen was happy to see the results, and even a little proud.
But suddenly, Zhao Junchen suddenly realized that since when did he feel happy and proud that he had successfully corrupted an upright official?
This kind of thing violates the bottom line of conscience. Although it may be necessary to do it sometimes, should we be happy and proud of it?
Zhao Junchen still remembers the contradictory and self-blaming feelings in his heart when he had just come to this world and had no choice but to deceive the people's hearts.
However, it had only been more than a month since he returned to Beijing. Zhao Junchen had already taken it for granted and had become accustomed to similar things, and similar emotions never appeared again.
Perhaps, when Fan Binqi's character was changed by Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen's own character changed faster.
Sometimes, a person's change of mind is the most terrifying thing in the world. Unknowingly, only by chance, looking back, do you realize that you are completely different from the past to the present.
At that time, people will suddenly discover that while they have gained a lot, they have also lost a lot, and they no longer recognize themselves!
And the reason why Zhao Junchen was in a bad mood when he was "in heaven and on earth" was also because of this.
He suddenly discovered that he now regards fighting for power as his instinct, and that thing called "conscience" has gradually become no longer important.
When did this change happen? Zhao Junchen thought about it carefully, but found that he could not find the answer.
"Remember your duty. Anyone who forgets his duty will have a bad end."
These words were Zhao Junchen's words of warning to Xiao Shancai before he left "Heaven and Earth", but they also had the intention of persuading himself.
His duty now is to be a qualified corrupt official. Only in this way can he protect himself, expand his power, and satisfy Emperor Deqing.
………
On the way back home, Zhao Junchen sat in the carriage, secretly thinking about his changes in the past few days, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips.
"However, isn't this what I have always wanted to do? To become a qualified politician, I just didn't expect that I would change so quickly..." Zhao Junchen said softly to himself: "The environment can really change a person, it's the return
The pressure I faced after Beijing was so great that it forced me to change my temper? Or was it just the environmental pressure here that finally exposed my hypocritical nature?"
"Master, what are you talking about?"
Zhao Junchen's voice was very soft, but it still fell in Xu Qingyan's ears. As soon as Zhao Junchen finished speaking, Xu Qingyan opened the car curtain and asked Zhao Junchen.
Xue Gui was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Zhou Shangjing meant.
Wei Ping is no longer Zhou Shangjing's disciple. For such a person, no one would have thought that Zhou Shangjing would take him back into his disciple. Wei Ping will handle this matter. Even if the matter is eventually exposed, Zhao Junchen will only think that Wei Ping
He was dissatisfied with being rejected by Zhao Junchen, so he had thoughts of revenge, but it was difficult to think of Zhou Shangjing's existence.
However, although Xue Gui understood what Zhou Shangjing meant, he was a little shocked in his heart. Could it be that with Zhou Shangjing's powerful position, he would still care about Zhao Junchen?
