Chapter 87: Two Directions
"The reason why Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing, and Li Yan are lawless is, in the final analysis, because they are infringing on the interests of the country or ordinary people. In these two cases, one is that there is no bitter master, and the other is that the bitter master is too weak, which is why they can be so unscrupulous. ”
Liu Huiniang got a bowl of tea for Zhao Huan, persuaded him to calm his anger, and at the same time expressed his opinion.
"To put it bluntly, they lack a bitter master who can compete with them, or whose influence cannot be underestimated by the people of the world, as long as we plan properly and find an opponent for them, it will not be difficult to deal with them."
"This ......"
Zhao Huan and Wu Yong were silent.
Liu Huiniang is right, the reason why Liang Shicheng and his ilk are lawless is indeed because they bully the weak, or those who are greedy for ink are all national wealth, as long as Zhao Ji is unwilling, no one can cure their crimes.
But Liang Shicheng's power is not even able to suppress him, the prince, and it is not easy to find a decent opponent for them.
"The people who can compete with them, except for me and Su Yuanjing, it is estimated that there is no one else, do I have to unite with him? Alas! Yes, otherwise it's too tiring to go it alone! ”
Zhao Huan frowned and said unwillingly.
He is very unlikely to form an alliance with people like Su Yuanjing, not that there is anything wrong with Su Yuanjing, nor that there is anything wrong with him Zhao Huan, on the contrary, the two of them seem to be extremely positive people at present.
But it is precisely because of the three views that Zhao Huan opposes mutual friends and alliances, just imagine that the ministers in the court are all a handful, and they will unite with each other for something, attack, shirk, throw the pot, fight a war of words, more than people, and compare momentum, what is the difference between such a court and Zhao Ji's leadership?
Some people may advise him that he should move according to the situation and should not be pedantic; But Zhao Huan is not a child, he knows very well that rejecting friends is now one of his principles, but no matter what the reason, as long as he makes a start here and makes an exception, it will be difficult to clean up in the future.
The reason is very simple, he can't stick to the bottom line and take the initiative to lower the bottom line in his heart, and others will definitely take advantage of the weakness to take root and grow when they see that he has the soil for the survival of his friends.
Most of the reasons why the real great men in history have been able to do great things are because they can stick to their principles and not be kidnapped by the situation.
Similarly, although Zhao Huan did not have the confidence to become a great man, he wanted to be closer to the great man.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, Su Yuanjing is a person who adheres to principles, even if he Zhao Huan agrees, Su Yuanjing will never form a party with him.
The traitorous party of the Manchu Dynasty, and the fact that Yuanjing was able to get out of the mud without being stained shows how strong his principled nature is.
"Your Highness? But what's the difficulty? ”
What Zhao Huan thought in his heart, Wu Yong certainly couldn't guess; Not only could he not guess it, but Liu Huiniang, who was on a par with him, couldn't guess it either.
Wu Yong and Liu Huiniang are one kind of people - strategists! They are wise and calculating, calculating people's hearts, calculating all things, and can choose all means to achieve their ends.
Wen Huanzhang is another kind of person - a national scholar! All his starting points are for the world, for the overall situation, and for the generations to come, so he can do his best to seek a perfect plan that can be beneficial to the world.
If Wen Huanzhang is here, he will definitely be able to understand Zhao Huan's concerns; But Liu Huiniang and Wu Yong would never have imagined it.
They didn't expect that Zhao Huan would have to explain it, let them remember their principles, and avoid going in the opposite direction in the future.
Zhao Huan thought for a while, sighed and said:
"My original reputation was not very good, but now I finally earned some back, if I form a friend with Su Yuanjing, how will the world think of me? What will people with lofty ideals think of me? ”
"Taking a step back, even if it's only a temporary cooperation, other people will see it as a friend, if I really become the king of a country in the future, what reason do I want to put an end to the friend?"
"I can't be friends with him! I'm going to visit him today, but I'm not going to talk about business, I'm going to visit as a junior! As for the overall situation of the government, I don't want to affect him, see what he thinks! But with his temperament, as long as I do the right thing, he will definitely support it! ”
Wu Yong and Liu Huiniang were silent.
They have almost regarded Su Yuanjing as a person on the prince's side in their hearts, after all, there are common enemies on both sides, and Su Jinniang is connected to the link.
But they ignored the personalities of Zhao Huan and Su Yuanjing.
These people are Zhao Huan's henchmen, and they don't shy away from everything; But Su Yuanjing is a big man in the court, a confidant of the Zhao official family, and is known as a Zhongzheng, how can he obey Zhao Huan's order?
But if Zhao Huan and Su Yuanjing can't unite like an iron plate, and want to bring down Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing and others, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Of course, since Zhao Huan has already said so, this road will not work, and he can only change directions.
"Actually, there are two directions I can try on my side!"
Zhao Huan thought for a while and said to the two.
"The first one is the official family!"
"You all think that Liang Shicheng and Cai Jing are the henchmen of the official family, so the official family will only favor them, at least they don't help each other!"
"But I don't think so!"
"My father, the Emperor, is a vacillating and cold man, full of his own world, and has a cold, hot, and skeptical attitude towards everyone else."
"On the surface, he trusts Liang Shicheng and others very much, but in fact, as long as Liang Shicheng and them touch his bottom line, he will definitely abandon it without hesitation, Yang Jian is an example!"
"The only people in the world who can compete with the power of Liang Shicheng and Cai Jing are the official family, and we must keep this in mind!"
"The second direction is the same thing. Liang Shicheng and Cai Jing seem to be the umbrella of the world's scholars, in fact, no matter how big this umbrella is, it can't cover everyone, there will always be some scholars who have become outside the circle of interests of the traitorous party, they are not vested interests, and even have been taken away from their interests, they will definitely resent these traitorous parties, we have to use this hatred to let the dog bite the dog! ”
Wu Yong and Liu Huiniang looked at each other, and they didn't understand:
"What does Your Highness mean?"
Zhao Huan prompted: "Liang Shicheng abused his power, Cai Jing abused his power, whose interests did it affect?" ”
"Yes...... Too student! ”
Wu Yong and Liu Huiniang's eyes lit up.
Oh, yes! How did you forget this stubble!
It's a small thing, it's smart, it's a big mess!
As a strategist of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness has not seen this aspect thoroughly!
"It's the Tai student!"
Zhao Huan said with a little excitement:
"Since the official family succeeded to the throne, they have attached great importance to the development of Taixue, and for this reason, the imperial examination has been cancelled, and the source of court officials has been changed to be selected from among the Tai students, and the number of Tai students has been expanded to 3,800!"
"Three thousand, eight hundred! What's that concept? That's the door of 3,800 people who dream of their children and grandchildren being officials! ”
"However, the official positions in the court are like radish pits in the farmland, there are only a few in total, Liang Shicheng has a holy decree on the left and a holy decree on the right, and every pit is stuffed with its own radish, so what about these 3,800 students?"
