Chapter 175: Learn to Adapt to Changes
Sang Zhi looked up in surprise.
"If you're right, admitting your mistakes will only help others and hurt yourself. If you're not wrong, you should argue for yourself. Everyone has a ruler in their heart that can distinguish right from wrong. If a child can tell the difference, how can an adult not tell the difference?" Ye Qianning understood his situation and said with some regret, "Admitting your mistakes again and again will only make others worse. Your admission of mistakes is nothing more than giving bad people a way out and giving those who want to take sides a legitimate reason to do so. Brother, have you ever thought that if you insist on distinguishing right from wrong, you might really be protected?"
Sang Zhi was completely shocked by these words. He insisted on arguing about right and wrong. Could his father really protect him?
He had never thought about these things. Since he was a child, it seemed that everyone told him that he could anger the concubines in the palace, but not offend other princes.
Even if you are bullied, you must admit your mistake first when questioned...
No one ever told him to argue about right and wrong...
In this huge palace, he is a disaster star, an ominous sign. The emperor must have long forgotten that he even had a son.
"Brother, you must believe me. Admitting your mistakes is not the way to survive. You have to learn to adapt to circumstances. You can pretend to be unconscious when necessary. In short, the more pitiful the better." Ye Qianning decided to straighten his mind first.
The most common tactics used in the harem are crying, making a fuss, and then threatening to hang oneself. They act strong when there is no one around, and act pitiful when there are people around. The only thing they are trying to do is to see who is more miserable.
The emperor's family members are the most ruthless, but in the eyes of the emperor, whoever is miserable in the harem is right, and this is not without basis.
Before Sang Zhi could digest what he had said before, another bunch of words came up: The way to survive?
Seeing that he didn't seem to understand, Ye Qianning thought for a moment and asked, "Brother, do you know where the emperor summoned me?"
"The Imperial Study." Sang Zhi said.
"Then you might be able to get in?"
Sang Zhi looked horrified.
"I'm not asking you to come in, or outside. It's fine as long as you can hear the sounds inside." Ye Qianning didn't have the courage to let the old-fashioned boy enter the imperial study.
"If you ask Eunuch Li, it should be possible."
"You and Eunuch Li have such a good relationship?" Ye Qianning was a little surprised.
"When he first entered the palace, he was in my mother's palace." Sang Zhi didn't say much.
Ye Qianning finally understood why Sang Zhi was able to ride in a carriage out of the palace. It must be that Sang Zhi's mother was very kind. No wonder that although Sang Zhi was ostracized, he had never been treated harshly in terms of things.
Judging from Eunuch Li's attire, he should be the chief eunuch or something like that, specifically serving the emperor. The concubines have to give him some face when they see him.
"Why do you want me to get close to the imperial study?" Sang Zhi was puzzled.
"Do you understand what I just said?" she asked.
Sang Zhi thought about it and shook his head.
"Since you don't understand, I will teach you by example today. Do you know what I did in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Didn't they cut down the plaque and shaved down the threshold?"
Ye Qianning snorted coldly and moved his head closer to him. "As soon as I entered the door, I asked my hidden guards to cripple the thirty guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In the hall, they beat up Miss Gao San, knocking out several of her teeth. I also cursed Madam Gao."
The more Sang Zhi listened, the more serious his expression became. "How dare you insult the Prime Minister's wife and hit the Prime Minister's daughter? You're courting death."
"All of this is nothing. The most important thing is that I had Prime Minister Gao whipped forty-one times, while Eunuch Li was only whipped a few times when he went in."
Sang Zhi was so shocked that he could no longer express himself in words.
