Annals 23: Rise and Fall in the Officialdom
Rise and Fall in the Officialdom
You learn the ways of officialdom: flattering those above you, ruthless to those below.
Ugly as your face may be, so long as your power is great enough, no one dares speak ill of you.
Only whether those who keep silent as cicadas in winter, and those old Jianghu friends who never once come to visit you in all their lives, look down on you in their hearts—that is hard to say.
