.Chapter 793 The only boss (Chinese)
After the banquet with Zhang Juzheng, when I returned home silently, it was already the middle of the moon and the cold stars were lonely.
He didn't want to bring the smell of alcohol to his wife and daughter, so he asked the maid to say to the backyard that he would take a break in the back study tonight.
When passing by the Yuemen Cave, he asked: "Have the Ten Yue Gong rested?"
"It's still in the front study room." Chen Quan whispered.
After a warm heart in the silent heart, he changed his route and went to the study room ahead.
When he gently pushed open the door, he saw Wang Yin wearing a black crane flare and leaning against the back of the chair to read a book. There were a few bricks on the floor on one side, and a mud stove sat on the bricks. The charcoal fire was burning, and a crock of boiling water was boiling. Against the backdrop of the red flames, the clear and energetic face became more friendly and less dusty.
"Sir, haven't you been sleeping yet?" In this era, there is no entertainment at home at night, and if you don't go out, you will go to bed early.
"I'm old and can't sleep." Wang Yin put down the book, and smiled while making tea: "It's hard to endure the long night, and you can only enjoy the night of a thousand gold medals when you taste tea."
Chen Mo knew that Wang Yin must have expected that when he came back from the banquet, he would definitely want to find someone to chat, so he was waiting for him here. When he felt a little excited, he asked the guard to move the chair to the stove, and then ordered the others to retreat. When the only two of them were left in the house, Chen Mo smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that they are all big topics."
"Hehe, the love between the poets is liked by the poets; Cheng, Zhu, Lu, King, is the love of scholars." Wang Yin shook his head and smiled: "I am not a poet, nor is I a scholar, just this is the way of yin and yang."
"Yes, everyone has their own love for carrots and vegetables." Silent smiled and said, "Then let's talk around the fire late at night."
"Serious." Wang Yin smiled and poured tea for Chen Si and asked, "What are you talking about with Zhang Taiyue?"
Silently gathered the teacup and whispered the conversation on the table to Wang Yin. Finally, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "He told Master Xu to destroy Gao Gong with frankness. That's the point that I must have wanted me to tell Gao Gong that I really can't understand what he was planning..."
"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu because I am in this mountain." Wang Yin smiled and said, "Sometimes the appearance is confusing and elusive. We might as well do the opposite. Through our understanding of this person and put ourselves in his shoes, we may see it as it is."
"Put yourself in your shoes..." said silently: "What does today's situation have to do with Zhang Juzheng?"
"It's a big deal." The night is quiet, but Wang Yin's conversation is much stronger than in the daytime: "Facts have proved that Mr. Xu is playing a big game of chess. Xu Jie, with his authority, has successively promoted Zhang Juzheng, and has reached the point of not caring about it and seizing the day. His background is not only because the old minister has recovered, but Mr. Xu hopes that Mr. Xu can help him deal with Gao Gong."
"Oh?" Chen whispered.
"In fact, this is not accurate, because with Mr. Xu's energy, without Zhang Juzheng's help, he still won without any suspense." Wang Yin picked up the teacup and sipped: "The reason why he wanted Zhang Juzheng to act as a front pawn was to alienate the relationship between the two... The Lord should know that the relationship between Gao and Zhang was very harmonious, and he agreed to Yi'comrades. Even when Gao Gong and Xu Jie began to get into evil, Zhang Juzheng tried his best to mediate, and really helped Gao Gong say good things several times."
He nodded silently, indicating that this was indeed the case.
"If I were Mr. Xu, I wouldn't be willing to grow other people's crops in my own field." Wang Yin said lightly: "He could not tolerate Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong, so he asked Zhang Juzheng to draw a will together... This seemed to be increasing capital for him, but in fact it was to make Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng separate. Now Mr. Xu wanted to seize the opportunity and launch a general attack on Gao Gong, and then let the commander Zhang Juzheng charge in order to make them completely break up."
"Why does Mr. Xu insist on being paranoid about this?" Chen Mo had an answer in his heart, but he needed Wang Yin's answer to confirm it.
"It is to eliminate future troubles forever. Other cabinet masters are beaten down and the possibility of a comeback is very small. But Gao Gong is different. After all, he is like a father and son today. Master Xu must be worried that if he retreats in the future, if the emperor regains Gao Gong, he will be in an instant reversal." Wang Yin said: "So the successor's chief assistant must be in a state of fire with Gao Gong, so that he can resolutely prevent Gao Gong from resuming..." As long as the chief assistant has a firm attitude, even the emperor will be helpless.
"It's really a big game of chess..." Chen Si's mouth hung a wry smile and said, "It's no wonder that Ge Lao Xu will never change people."
"Yes." Wang Yin nodded and said, "I'll talk about what you're doing later. Let's talk about Zhang Juzheng first... In addition to what he said just now, he also has a problem, that is, he must follow the route set by Xu Jie, and cannot go beyond a step. He can only be a heir who complies with the rules. The master asked him to submit a letter of fame and to follow the rules. Both of these things are unpleasant. How should Zhang Juzheng make a decision?" He said with a smile and looked silently: "Sir, do you still remember what we have summarized before?"
"Of course I won't forget it." Siren held the teacup and said leisurely: "A qualified politician must consider three key points when formulating countermeasures: one is face, one is conscience, and one is interests. All the best strategy must be third, with face, conscience, and interests; the middle strategy must be second; the worst strategy can be only one. Every step of his action will constantly weigh the three key points of face, conscience and interests. The method is to handle the relationship between image and benefits, as well as the relationship between immediate interests and long-term interests."
"Now it seems that Zhang Juzheng is also well aware of the three of them." Wang Yin sighed: "Although Xu Jie retired behind the scenes, many people are confused, but when Gao Gong collapses, everyone will suddenly realize that no one except the Prime Minister has the ability to defeat Gao Gong." He paused: "Although the result must be like this, if an important official did not make a big mistake, he would expel him just because he was in a disagreement with the Prime Minister. This will definitely cause criticism, and it is estimated that the emperor will have a view."
"As Zhang Juzheng, helping Xu Jie expel Gao Gong, there is actually no benefit. Instead, it will cause trouble and be despised by the emperor and his colleagues. Because Xu Jie's previous series of measures have certainly tied him to his body, but it also made his heir's identity a foregone conclusion. This is like the crown prince who is to the emperor. No matter how good the crown prince does, the emperor cannot take the initiative to abdicate. Instead, he does more and makes many mistakes... Therefore, this is neither face nor sorry for the good. Zhang Juzheng would not do anything that is not profitable." Wang Yin's analysis was incisive, making people feel that Zhang Juzheng must have thought so: "The only obstacle is that Xu Jie's kindness to him is as heavy as a mountain. It goes against Xu Jie's wishes and will not let down the kindness of his teacher. However, the feelings in the officialdom are too fragile. In the eyes of many people, compared with power, the kindness of Mount Tai is not necessarily thicker than a piece of paper. So it is not an obstacle."
"So Zhang Juzheng is not going to be an accomplice?" said silently: "But he can't go against Teacher Xu."
"This is the purpose of Zhang Juzheng looking for you tonight." Wang Yin sighed: "He revealed his details to the Lord, and knew that he would tell Gao Xinzheng truthfully; at the same time, he would do some superficial articles, such as saying irrelevant words of persuasion in front of Xu Jie and Gao Gong. It gives people the feeling that Zhang Juzheng is very embarrassed and tries his best to mediate the conflicts. In this way, everyone's impression of him will not deteriorate, but will also become better, thinking that he is a fair and good person who strives to reconcile. In the long run, if Gao Gong has a comeback in the future, he will not make things difficult for him to remember this private message."
"As soon as the sir broke down, I felt suddenly enlightened." In fact, Chen Si thought so, but he would always make suggestions and give some staff members the only thing he wanted was to be indifferent to face.
"Haha..." Wang Yin actually understood the trick of silence, but he enjoyed it very much, because this was the expression of the boss' kindness. So he continued to analyze for silence: "Comprehensive Zhang Juzheng's situation, I think that tonight, he will be open and honest with the lord. No matter what deep down he feels, it is actually a signal of goodwill. He has the intention to join forces with the lord." Wang Yin continued: "It seems that he finally understood that his opponent is not the lord, and an old minister like Ge Shouli and Zhao Zhenji are the peak that he must conquer in front of him. Even if he boldly guesses, he is probably no longer the mentor and protector of his kindness in Zhang Juzheng's mind, but an obstacle to his independence and displaying his grand ambitions."
"Yes," Chen Si laughed at himself: "Maybe in his opinion, since Master Xu wants to help him get to power, he will inevitably expel me like him from the cabinet, so there is no need to conflict with me... I guess as long as I no longer threaten his status, he will be willing to join forces with me and do something together." As he said, he scratched his nose and said, "After all, in everyone's eyes, I am still a clerk."
"Of course, adults can be called the young and promising first minister." Wang Yin flattered in sincerity and said, "Zhang Ju is correct and can be plotted. He chose a path for himself with the least risk and the greatest benefit..." As he said that, he deliberately stopped and looked at the silent one: "Of course these are all our inferences, and they are not perfect. What is the problem with adults?"
"Okay, put yourself in your shoes, I don't think it's wise." Chen Si shook his head slightly and said, "What kind of person is Mr. Xu? He has been the leader in power for a hundred years. These methods of our younger generations are the only ones he plays with. Even if Zhang Taiyue pretends to be like him, he can't escape his eyes."
"Yes," Wang Yin's eyes flashed with a gleam, "The adult really hit the nail on the head. If the inference is true, then he underestimated Xu Jie's reaction... But just like the son always thinks that his father will forgive him, Xu Jie is too kind to him. If he thinks that Xu Jie can tolerate such a degree of hypocrisy, it is not difficult to understand."
"In this way, the inference is still valid?" Silent poured tea ceremony for Wang Yin.
"Even if it is not right, it is not far away." Wang Yin smiled and smiled silently.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"After talking about Zhang Juzheng, what should we do?" Chen Shu felt that the tea smell had become a little light, but it also has the benefits of being light, so he didn't care. He sighed and said, "I still overestimate the relationship between teachers and students..."
Wang Yin sighed in his heart. It seemed that Gao Gong's fate made Chen Si feel like something hurt. Although the main reason for Gao Gong's accident was Xu Jie's exclusion of dissidents, it also meant to clear the way for the heirs. If it continues to develop normally, he probably should have brought Chen Si out of the cabinet after he drove Gao Gong, Guo Pu and others.
But silence must never leave the cabinet, at least not in this way, as it will keep him away from the center of power and seriously deviate from the predetermined plan. What should we do at this time? How to get rid of the fate of being expelled has become the top problem that silence must solve.
Wang Yin did not immediately answer silent, but handed him the book he had read earlier.
沉默一看,轻声道:“《柳河东集》?”
"There is a set of fables in it," Wang Yin said: "called "Three Precepts".
He nodded silently, turned to that page casually, and saw three articles: "The Elk in the River", "The Donkey in Guizhou", and "The Rat of Yongmou".
"The second one," Wang Yin narrowed his eyes and said, "Sir, why not read it."
"The Donkey from Guizhou..." This is a short article that I recited in the last life of silentness, but I didn't talk nonsense. According to his meaning, I read it softly: "There is no donkey in Guizhou. If there are good things, the boat will be carried in, and there will be no use when you arrive. When you release it, you will be released at the foot of the mountain. The tiger sees it, and it is a huge creature, and thinks it is a god. It covers the forest and looks at it, and it will be close to it, but no one knows it. The donkey roars and goes out a little, but it doesn't know each other. The donkey roars and leaves a little, and it's very scared. However, when I look back and forth, I feel that there is no supernatural power. I'm more accustomed to its sound, and then I'm closer to it, but I dare not fight. I'm more close to it, and I'm more angry, and I'm more angry, and I'm more happy. The tiger is happy and plans to stop this day: "The skill stops this ear, "It's because of the jump and stumble, cuts its throat, and leaves..."
很短,很快就读完了.
Wang Yin smiled and looked silent and said, "Sir, this is the good idea I have given you."
After thinking silently, he realized immediately, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "It's a good idea."
What puzzle did these two fight with each other? In fact, to put it bluntly, the reason is very simple... How did the poor donkey die? It actually died of its own blind movement. If you don't believe it, please look at the tiger's psychology. At first, it thought it was a god and did not dare to get close. At this time, the donkey was very safe. As long as it maintains this situation, it can live with peace of mind. But the donkey wanted to show off, scream, and kick it with its hooves, so it revealed all its pitiful abilities to the tiger. The tiger had a clear mind, of course it was no longer afraid, and ate the donkey in a few seconds.
Therefore, when facing a powerful tiger, the donkey's most powerful weapon is to take advantage of the other party's lack of understanding, keep silent, and never act rashly.
By the same token, Xu Jie is naturally a tiger in the cabinet fight, and the role of silence is equivalent to that of the donkey in Guizhou. Any resistance is futile. But Xu Jie is actually concerned about silence... First of all, silence is a meritorious minister and his student, which makes Xu Jie unable to deal with him by dealing with Gao Gong, otherwise it will make people feel scared. At the same time, Xu Jie has never seen the true strength of silence very clearly, because silence almost never uses his own connections... Of course, those relationships are obvious. So how many Shen parties are there in the Xu Party? How many silence supporters are there in the court? Xu Jie only knows that there must be many, but how many? He can't explain it clearly.
Also, how much influence does Chen Si have in the southeast? Can he catch up with half of his in Suzhou, and how many governors and governors obey his command? Xu Jie couldn't see clearly before Shen Mo made a big counterattack.
What's more, I could have investigated and dealt with the Xu family's case at the time. How much did I know about the Xu family's situation? Did I still keep the evidence of the crime? Although he was confident and said that it was all destroyed, who knows if he would have a backup plan?
In this case, facing Mr. Xu, who is cautious by nature, the best strategy is to remain calm. Only by not acting rashly can one increase one's own weight, making the opponent unable to see himself clearly, and thus dare not take attack measures easily... This at least ensures that he will not attack him in a short period of time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Although the method is clever, it can only be saved for a while, but it cannot be saved for a lifetime. The rabbit is anxious and bites people, let alone a tiger?" said silently.
"Zhang Juzheng's behavior has an invisible advantage, which may make Mr. Xu let the master go." Wang Yin said: "No leader likes uncontrolled subordinates. If he cannot replace others, the best way is to give him a strong opponent and let the two compete, so that both of them will have to be obedient."
"The specific strategy is three tricks. One is to meet more and not hide. If you hide, you will appear to be guilty and timid and lack confidence. Even if you worry in your heart, you should be open-minded on the surface as if nothing happened. You should meet more and more on various occasions so that everyone can see your stability and calmness. This is a silent force that controls the situation."
"The second is to be more committed. The more you are in this sensitive period, the more you cannot be distracted. You should talk more about work and communicate more with your superiors, the same level, and the subordinates. You should show your insensitivity to crisis and your commitment to your own work."
"The third is not to ask for love. If Xu Jie talks to an adult, it is mostly for Gao Gong. Don't panic. You should talk more about your achievements and experience in the affairs of the Ministry of War, and at the same time talk about your shortcomings and deficiencies. You should ask for criticism and correction. Finally, you should put forward the difficulties you encounter and ask him to help solve them and provide support. Remember not to plead for yourself, nor do you plead for Gao Gong or anyone else, and do not make small moves in private. These small moves are equivalent to a donkey's legs, and will not achieve any effect. Instead, they will expose your weaknesses and anger the tiger."
"But this is not a long-term solution..." Wang Yin finally said in a deep voice: "If you want to eliminate future troubles forever, you can only kill the tiger but deal with Xu Jie. The conspiracy is useless. You must use open conspiracy just like what Mr. Yang did."
