what happened?

The disciple who reported the news was stunned for a moment, closed his mouth, and then noticed that the gate of the courtyard was not closed, but was hidden, and the person sitting around under the giant willow could be seen in the gap.

And the sounds coming.

Are you discussing the situation? She was curious and listened to the sentences coming from the wind and looked at the actress.

Xu Xiurong looked focused and was already immersed in listening.

...

"What is politics?"

Hearing this sentence, the star officials present looked at each other, and the female Si Li curled her lips and said, "Isn't it a means to fight for power? At most, it is to govern the country."

It can be seen that she doesn't really appreciate the affairs in the court.

The rest of the people didn't say anything, so they were considered as default. This is also what most people think.

Ji Ping'an smiled and said, "The words are a bit rough and not comprehensive, but it is okay to understand them in this way. If you want to break the deadlock, you must first figure out the root cause of the problem, such as why the two courts of Water and Jin took action to suppress them, and what is the purpose."

Mu Yaoyao hummed and said, "Just fight for power. The Imperial Heaven Supervisor is old and no longer in charge in recent years. The next supervisor must be elected from the prison guards. We don't care, but some people care."

Everyone nodded, indicating that this is the reason.

In fact, the struggle at the upper level of the Imperial Academy was not suddenly, but lasted for several years.

A hundred years ago, Master Dazhou went into seclusion and practiced, handing over the affairs of the academy to the "big disciples", which is now the "Imperial Heaven Supervision".

The other brothers assisted.

At that time, the national teacher was in charge and the senior brother was famous enough. The entire Imperial Heaven Supervision Power structure was stable and each performed its own duties.

Then the national master passed away and the Imperial Heavenly Prison was here, and it was all fine.

Until the past two years, the Imperial Heaven Supervision has grown older and revealed its boredom with the world, and has become increasingly less frequent appearances, and its power is further decentralized.

All matters in the prison were discussed by five prison guards led by Li Guofeng.

On the one hand, the old supervisor conveyed the willingness to "give up the throne". On the other hand, the five supervisors also had their own team and became increasingly powerful.

Therefore, who will become the next supervisor becomes a key issue.

When you look at the historical books, no matter which organization, from the courts, sects, to the sects, and family power...everything involves the transfer of power, there is inevitably a struggle.

People in the world think that practitioners are dedicated to asking the truth, as long as they are strong, they are fine.

But this is not the case. When I was young, I first entered the practice of cultivation. I thought that the sky was high and the birds could fly. I fantasized about becoming the world's number one, and I was not keen on secular power.

Only when one reaches middle age can one realize that one is mediocre, the future is bleak, and he is stuck in a state of difficulty and cannot break through. He understands that there is no possibility of breaking through in this life, so he may give up seeking the truth or rely on future generations...

Begin to gain power as much as possible and become the norm.

Not to mention, after becoming a "supervisor", the resources that can be called far exceed the past, and maybe you can be promoted and reach a higher level by this.

"The Imperial Heavenly Prison is neither a sect nor a sect like other sects. The successors are inherited by the children of the head. They are not ordinary yamen, and His Majesty the Emperor of God cannot forcefully interfere in the appointment and removal."

Middle-aged Si Li sighed:

"In the past, the national teacher once said that the Imperial Heavenly Prison was closer to the school and had a detailed set of 'indicators'. Now, Li Jianhou of the Jinyuan has the greatest hope of running for the election, followed by the two houses of water and fire.

"Xu Jianhou is not keen on this, but in the eyes of others, he becomes weak and bullied. If he can defeat her and replace him with others, he will not only be able to divide the power of the Muyuan and remove an opponent. If he can control the Muyuan, his winning rate for the next supervisor will be much greater. How can he not fight?"

He sighed:

"This time the other party failed, probably because he was worried that we would recover our vitality, so he set up a card everywhere, with the purpose of slowing down our practice. God is about to reward him. As long as we cannot elect disciples who are qualified to participate, they will give them a chance to attack again."

After a few words, I will explain the situation thoroughly.

Ji Ping'an's smile remained unchanged and said:

"So, everyone understands the root of the struggle. So I would like to ask, as you said, the Golden Court has the highest winning rate, so as long as it remains unchanged, why does Li Jianhou have to acquiesce and even help the Water Court to launch this round of attack?"

Everyone was stunned. This was what they had not thought about before, and they immediately fell into deep thought.

Yes, why did Li Guofeng participate?

According to known information, Shirakawa was the one who launched the attack. He wanted to swallow the Kitanyuan and strengthen himself, so as to compete with the Kinyuan.

The motivation is clear.

But Li Guofeng didn't need to do this, wouldn't he make an enemy for himself?

"Why?" Mu Yaoyao was puzzled and asked questions on behalf of the rest of the people.

Ji Ping'an smiled and drank a sip of tea before slowly saying:

"In my opinion, there are three reasons. First, the Jinyuan has enough confidence and has gained benefits that are not inferior to the Water Institute in this incident. Shirakawa is infamous and Li Guofeng enjoys the harvest. It is difficult for people to remain unmoved. After all... no one will dislike more power."

Everyone nodded, but did not notice that Ji Ping'an directly recited the name of the Guanhou.

Ji Ping'an Road:

"Second, if the Jinyuan wants to maintain the status quo, then Li Guofeng must take action to stop the attack from Shirakawa... In this way, the original conflict between the two courtyards and the two courtyards will immediately turn into the conflict between the two courtyards and the two courtyards... and this is what they don't want to see. As the saying goes, the fisherman will benefit from the snipe and the clam fight. If the two courtyards conflict, the strength of both sides will inevitably be damaged. At this time, what should I do if the Fire Court or the Earth Court comes out to compete for it?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

The girl Sili slapped the table: "No wonder, no wonder! I just said that those people are full of thoughts!"

At the gate of the courtyard.

Xu Xiurong's eyes also lit up. Ji Ping'an's words were not exquisite, but they mean that he did understand the situation, compared to a group of people who had never read much.

For star officials who have a narrow knowledge and only know how to practice, they feel like they are clearing their clouds and seeing.

"What's the third one? What else?" Mu Yaoyao asked.

Ji Ping'an smiled and said:

"The third is to intensify the conflict. As we all know, the two courtyards of water and fire have always been in disagreement. Just like this time, Fang Liuhuo supported us, largely because he did not want the Water Court to benefit. If the deposition was successful and the power of the Water Court increased, the Fire Court would definitely not be willing to sit still and wait for death.

"Either you will fight with the Water Courtyard. Li Guofeng just needs to sit behind the scenes and promote the fire to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Even if the two sides do not fight, the Fire Courtyard will inevitably turn against the Golden Court in order to make life more comfortable in the future... So, no matter how you play this game, the Golden Courtyard will almost make a profit."

Hiss... Hearing this, a group of people under the tree felt cold on their backs.

I feel a sense of being in a chess game and being secretly manipulated and plotted.

"Harao Li Jian... is he so clear?" One disciple was surprised.

Ji Ping'an sighed and said:

"I can even come up with the fourth point. Just imagine that even if the Water Academy uses such despicable means, it will make the star officials of the other courtyard afraid. When the campaign is under custody, Li Guofeng can use this as a reason to punish the Water Academy. It can not only suppress opponents, consolidate power, but also gain fame, kill two birds with one stone. Even if Shirakawa knows it well, there is no other way, so he can only try it."

Now, everyone stopped talking and felt a chill all over.

Previously, they simply thought they had seen through the essence of this power struggle: the prey of the weak.

But after Ji Ping'an spoke a few words and pointed out the calculations inside, he was shocked and realized that his family had lost unjustly.

"No wonder the Jinyuan is the most powerful. It's a pity for those with the surname Li to not get involved in the officialdom." The female Si Li was incompetent and furious. She felt that compared with the enemy, she and others were simply like a little white rabbit.

Outside the hospital.

Xu Xiurong's face also became solemn. As a participant in the meeting that day, she guessed some of the thoughts of the other stewards.

But Ji Ping'an's analysis was even more thorough than she thought.

"Is this also a teaching by the national teacher?" Xu Xiurong was confused.

It is really hard to imagine that a young man who buried himself in the countryside of Leizhou for the first twenty years had just entered the capital of God, and he had such a vision and had a clear understanding of the world.

"Then what should we do? Junior Brother Ji, didn't you say there was a way to break the deadlock?" Mu Yaoyao asked anxiously under the willow tree.

"Yes, is there really a way? And... Although these things make sense, what does it have to do with our current situation?" Another disciple was puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiurong also pricked up his ears.

Facing the look of expectations, anxiety, or questioning, Ji Ping'an did not hurry or slow down, gently put down the teacup and said:

"Of course it's related. After analyzing the causes of the contradiction, the enemy's motivation and psychology, the next step is the key to reversal. Do you still remember what I said at the beginning?"

Mu Yaoyao tentatively said: "What is politics?"

Ji Ping'an nodded in praise and threw out the famous saying of a great man: "The so-called politics is to make friends more and enemies less."
