Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 358 If the Li Fengci incident is not handled properly, the game of Jin Wangfu will be in chaos

Zhang Changshi quickly thought of countermeasures, as if he was on a chessboard, and had to make every move carefully.

He knew very well that if the matter of Li Fengci was not handled properly, the chess game of Prince Jin's Mansion would be in chaos.

At this moment, Zhang Changshi walked with steady steps through the winding corridors of the palace.

The carvings on the corridor seemed like the narrators of history. They were exquisite but could not attract Zhang Changshi's attention at this tense moment.

His mind was completely focused on the upcoming chess-like conversation with Li Fengci.

Outside the corridor, the sky was as dark as ink.

It was as if a storm was about to come, and the depressing atmosphere was like a shadow, tightly covering the entire Prince Jin's Mansion.

Before Zhang Changshi could speak, the other officials nearby began whispering like restless chess pieces.

Wang Dianshan shrank his neck, his eyes rolling around, like a cunning fox.

He whispered, "Li Fengci usually likes to play tricks, but he has hit a wall this time.

I've always seen him act unsteadily, and now he's in big trouble."

Wang Dianshan seems to be smooth and sophisticated, but his heart is actually a mess.

After years of struggling in the complex chess game of the palace, he knows that the way to survive lies in judging the situation.

Previously, Wang Dianshan planned to win over minor officials to plead for Li Fengci, not entirely out of selfish motives.

He understood that in this treacherous situation in the palace, he could not easily offend any force.

On the one hand, Wang Dianshan was worried about the threat from the mysterious "behemoth" of external forces, and on the other hand, he was afraid of the wrath of Zhu Gang, the "chess player".

Therefore, every move he made was carefully considered, and he carefully sought a balance between the interests of all parties, like a traveler walking on the edge of a cliff.

Doctor Zhang standing by had his hands folded across his chest, his face serious, like a stone statue guarding the rules.

He nodded and agreed, "That's right, our palace won't tolerate this kind of culture of relying on connections to get promoted.

There are rules for treating illnesses and saving lives, and even more rules for the actions of the royal palace!"

Although Doctor Zhang is stubborn and conservative, his stubbornness is not blind.

His adherence to rules stems from his loyalty and sense of responsibility to the palace, just like a loyal guard protecting the castle.

After all, Doctor Zhang has witnessed the rise and fall of the palace, and he knows that only by strictly abiding by the rules can the stability and prosperity of the Jin Palace be guaranteed.

Doctor Zhang had previously stressed in public that the rules cannot be broken in order to sound a wake-up call to everyone, making them understand that rules are the cornerstone of the game of chess.

However, Doctor Zhang's heart was not calm. When he saw Li Fengci's efforts and repentance, the calm surface of his heart began to ripple.

While adhering to his principles, Doctor Zhang was also thinking about whether he should give Li Fengci a chance to make a new move.

Li Gongzheng frowned and looked worried, like a chess piece being moved by the situation.

He frowned and said, "I just hope that we won't be implicated by this matter.

I have old people and young children to take care of, I can’t stand the hardship!”

Seeing this, Zhang Changshi cleared his throat, and everyone quieted down, as if an invisible hand had pressed the pause button.

Finally, Zhang Changshi found Li Fengci in a quiet side hall.

Li Fengci was standing there with an uneasy look on his face, his hands trembling slightly.

It was like two leaves swaying in the wind, seeming to have sensed the coming storm.

At this moment, Li Fengci secretly complained in his heart: "Why was I so foolish and made such a mistake? What should I do now?"

The side hall was dimly lit, with a few faint rays of light coming in through the narrow windows.

Like a slim hope, it adds a bit of solemn atmosphere.

Zhang Changshi slowly walked into the side hall and gently closed the door, as if closing off a world full of unknowns.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, like the air frozen. Zhang Changshi looked at Li Fengci quietly, with a look of reproach and regret in his eyes, like an experienced chess player looking at a junior who made a wrong move.

He frowned slightly, his eyes sharp.

It was as if he could see through Li Fengci's heart and understand his every thought.

"Li Fengci, do you know why I am looking for you today?"

Zhang Changshi's voice was low and powerful, like a muffled thunder echoing in the room, making people feel uneasy.

There was an unquestionable majesty in his tone, which made Li Fengci's heart tighten, as if he was bound by an invisible rope.

As Zhang Changshi spoke, he slowly walked to Li Fengci, with his hands behind his back, like a calm general.

Li Fengci lowered his head slightly, not daring to look Zhang Changshi in the eye, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Changshi, I... I can roughly guess.

I was terrified and knew I had made a big mistake.

These past few days I have been unable to sleep at night, have lost my appetite, and have been reflecting on what I have done.”

Zhang Changshi narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly raised his voice: "Humph, Li Fengci, do you think that just reflecting is enough?
Do you know how much trouble this wrong move of yours has brought to the palace?"

Li Fengci's body trembled, and he quickly said, "Master Changshi, calm down. I know I was wrong, and I am willing to accept any punishment."

Zhang Changshi stared at Li Fengci and said slowly: "Punishment?
Do you think punishment can solve the problem?

You have to understand that what the palace needs is people who can serve it, not opportunists who rely on connections to get promoted."

Li Fengci lowered his head in shame, his face flushed.

It was as if I had been roasted by fire, and my heart was filled with regret.

"Master Changshi, I know I was wrong.

I shouldn't have tried to get a promotion through unfair means. I was really bewildered!
I thought about the expectations of my elders and my own efforts.

Now I have made such a mistake, and I really regret it. "

At the same time, Li Fengci thought silently in his heart: "I must reform myself, never let my family down again, and never bring shame to the palace again."

Zhang Changshi sighed slightly, and his eyes softened.

But it is still serious, like the warm sunshine in winter mixed with a hint of cold wind.

He stopped, raised one hand slightly, pointed at Li Fengci and said, "Li Fengci, you want to get promoted by relying on your connections, and I understand your difficulties.

But you have to know that what the palace needs are people with real talent and knowledge.

If you can contribute to the palace with your own abilities, why worry about not having a promotion?

Think about it, Han Xin was not valued at first, but he was able to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.

In the end, he became a famous general with his talent. You should take him as an example!"

Li Fengci raised his head, his eyes revealing determination, as if a fire had been rekindled.

"Master Changshi, I will definitely change my ways.

Work hard to improve yourself and prove your worth through practical actions.

I will be like the bamboo shoots that break through the soil, not afraid of difficulties, and strive to grow, so that I can become a person who is truly useful to the palace."

Zhang Changshi nodded slightly and put his hands down.

He patted Li Fengci's shoulder gently and said, "You have to understand that only those with real ability can gain a foothold in the palace.

Just like a ship sailing in the sea, only with a solid hull and superb navigation skills can it ride the wind and waves.

Glory gained through connections is ultimately short-lived, like a castle in the air, seemingly magnificent but actually shaky. "
