Chapter 216: Discerning
Ye Teng still remembers that more than ten years ago, he was promoted to the punctual of Nanyang County, South Korea, and felt a great responsibility, and went to Xinzheng to visit Han Fei.
"Dare to ask Childe, how can I detect adultery?"
Considering that there are many heroes in Luyang, Yexian and other places, and the little officials also like to deceive the lord, Ye Teng avoided the table and asked humbly at that time.
Han Fei is a famous Legalist scholar in the world, but he stammered, and he held back for a long time before he could hold back a sentence.
"The use of adultery...... Seven...... Surgery also. β
After speaking, Han Fei pushed the seven volumes of bamboo slips piled up on the case to Ye Teng, contrary to Han Fei's mouth, the bamboo slips were beautiful Korean characters, and the seven volumes of "Neichu Shuo Shang" were sprinkled with nearly 7,000 words, and they exhausted the seven techniques and six micro ...... used to detect adultery
Those bamboo slips are more precious gifts than gold and jade, and they are famous articles that even King Qin will be amazed when he reads them. Ye Teng couldn't put it down, and spent a few days reading it three times, and sighed after releasing the volume, Han Feigongzi was obviously a few years younger than himself, but between the lines, it seemed that he had read all the ancient and modern times, and saw through the essence of the human heart.
The more I read, the more frightened I became, and the more I read, the more chilling I became. Between people, is there really only interests to speak of? Between the monarch and the ministers, it will always be a game, and it is impossible to reveal your heart at all, so can you have a meeting between the monarch and the minister?
In those books, a large part of the book discusses how the master can see through the hearts of his subordinates, including the method of observation and hearing, the method of listening, the method of coercing wisdom, the method of inverting words, and the method of counter-examination.
But Han Fei said in the book that if you want to use these seven techniques flexibly, in the final analysis, you still need the master to have one ability, that is, to be discerning.
"The master of the people will be like Zhu Zhu, who can see a hundred steps away and see the end of the autumn!"
Those who know how to govern must have foresight and be able to discern everything, because if they do not know, they will not be able to see hidden things.
Ironically, the biggest use of these Han Fei gift scrolls is to let Ye Teng learn and use them lively, and become a "traitor who robs the king" that is not easy to be noticed by the owner. He successfully deceived King Han, and until the eve of the surrender of Qin, Han Wangan always thought that Ye Teng was a loyal minister of Korea and was ready to be martyred......
After the surrender of Qin, Ye Teng was promoted to the county guard of Nanjun, and continued to use this technique to control his subordinates, and found out and disposed of those traitors who looked down on him as a Korean subordinate and deliberately deceived him one by one.
Today is no exception.
The young man in front of him, who came from a humble background and had a dark face, but suddenly rose to the top within two years, with Ye Teng's 20 years of experience in the political arena, it can be seen at a glance that he has a lot of things hidden in his heart.
As long as you put the origins of Heifu, Lu and Xin together and take a look, and learn that the amazing innovations in agriculture, industry, and medicine in the past two years are actually from the same family, people with a discerning eye will feel strange.
"The Anlu County Order is as stupid as a dog." Ye Teng scolded secretly, such a big loophole has not been found, probably because he has seen things that can be used as political achievements one after another, and he is overjoyed, right?
Ye Teng is not stupid, he can see at a glance that Heifu is the initiator of these things.
To deal with this lucky young man, there is no need to be too complicated, as soon as Ye Teng came up, he directly exposed the facts.
Try to ask questions that make the other person feel unpleasant, isolate the other person, make him feel like he is in danger, and watch his reaction.
It's one of the great pleasures of being a superior.
When people are in a state of crisis, they will show their naked self, and their reason to hide their appearance will also be lost, and they will unconsciously reveal their true words......
This method has been tried and tested repeatedly in the past ten years.
"Is it a coincidence? Or is there another reason? Hef, you'd better tell the truth today! β
Two thousand stone officials, the life and death of the whole county are all decided, although Ye Teng looks as thin as a knife, he is not angry and arrogant.
Seeing that Heifu's forehead was already sweating slightly, who expected, at this time, there was a faint sound of the piano outside, breaking the tense atmosphere.
The sound of the piano is not very proficient, like a beginner, trying to play under the guidance of others, a little jerky, and sometimes out of tune.
Ye Teng frowned, but then calmed down his anger again, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he was not in a hurry to listen to the answer, closed his eyes, and listened to the piano silently......
β¦β¦
The faint sound of the out-of-tune piano is like heaven in Haifu's ears! for the sound of the harp saved him.
In the face of Ye Teng's surprise questioning, he didn't even have time to think. Unexpectedly, after the piano sounded, Ye Teng's momentum weakened, and he didn't ask so closely.
Heifu hurriedly took advantage of this race against time and desperately thought about how to answer in his mind!
Unexpectedly, the behavior of claiming to be smart at the beginning, wanting to take advantage of Qin Law's loopholes, and bringing relatives to get rich together has become the biggest flaw at the moment. That's right, the name of the three members of the family, in a short period of time, through three different things, reached the ears of the county guard, no wonder he doubted it.
What should I do? Ye Teng is no one, but the mantra of "taught by the family" on weekdays can be perfunctory.
Then he remembered that when he was outside the mansion before, he said that Ye Teng had already asked him about his situation, and Heifu shuddered even more.
Thinking about it, Ye Teng already knows his details well, in this case, deception is the worst choice.
Relying on the fact that he is Li You's cronies and beating him to death, do you not admit it?
It's useless, you don't see Ye Teng talking about Li You, like the child next door. The matter that should have been discussed by the county lieutenant was said by himself, and he only transferred the book to Li You afterwards to inform him, but Li You didn't even dare to complain......
Thanks to the small talk with those two officials along the way, Heifu finally understood what kind of person Ye Teng was: he was a domineering and dictatorial county guard, a cool official who executed 400 prisoners in one day, and a discerning follower.
Thoughts respond to his temperament, not blindly.
Heifu said secretly: "If he wants Li You to be embarrassed, investigate my injustice, and try him directly in court, won't it be over?" But he specially asked me to come to the private house to block the secret conversation between the left and right, does this mean ......"
"Ye Teng doesn't want to do things desperately?"
That's right, not every Qin official is as iron-faced and selfless as Xi.
As the life-saving sound of the piano slowly faded, Heifu also figured it out, and to tell the truth, it was the best choice at the moment.
Of course, it is the "truth" that Ye Teng wants to hear.
"The subordinate is guilty!"
Like a student who has been exposed by a teacher for helping his classmates copy homework, Heifu confesses his guilt in fear.
Ye Teng slowly opened his eyes: "What is the crime?" β
"The sin of unrighteousness. All of the above was indeed thought up by Heifu, discussed with his uncle and sister-in-law, and then made by them! β
Later, Heifu told the source of these inventions, he said that he felt sorry for his mother and sister-in-law's hard work, and looked at the orange tree used to draw water at home on a whim, so he asked his sister-in-law to make a stepping stone.
Then he saw that Jishan Tongguan lacked labor and crushed ore slowly, so as not to affect the efficiency of copper smelting and the speed of replenishing weapons in the arsenal, he looked at the stream and river, and had the idea of changing the treading to the water mill......
Compost and manure, Heifu only said that he was a farmer's child, and he dealt with dung, feces and urine all day long before he became an adult, and he discovered it by chance.
As for the technique of wrapping injuries, he pushed the pot to the "adventure" when he was young, saying that after he broke his leg, he met an old man with crane hair and a childish face, and he was rescued and learned.
In the end, Heifu said sincerely: "Although Heifu has concealed some facts, if it is just Heifu's fantasy, he can neither easily make complex instruments like his sister, nor can he avoid filth like his brother, and take care of the farmland without slacking off in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and prove that compost and manure can indeed increase the yield of corn!" β
"Those who envy fish in the river can't get fish, and those who retreat and close the net are the ones who make up for the fish! My sister and brother deserve more than I do! Therefore, Heifu is guilty, but his sister and uncle are not guilty! β
Heifu took all these things in one go, and he still thought that if Ye Teng didn't let it go and continued to ask, he would say that he was seriously ill when he was seventeen years old, and he suddenly opened his mind, and then he saw everything clearly!
What, I'm smart and wrong?
Unexpectedly, Ye Teng nodded and said, "You can tell the truth, this is enough." β
Heifu was nervously preparing to answer the next question, but at the moment he felt like he was in the air......
"I know about this, although you are not straight, but you have no intention of deceiving. Although the law does not allow officials to fail to do their jobs, there is nothing wrong with just thinking about it and making a suggestion. In the future, this matter does not have to be hidden, but let everyone know, otherwise it will ......"
Ye Teng looked at him and said solemnly: "Even if it is a move to benefit the country and the people, in the eyes of the king, you still can't escape the impression of 'not straight'!" The tree of catalpa wood will also become a large and useless oak (lΓ¬) tree! β
This is the reason why Ye Teng had to ask clearly today.
Ye Teng arched his hand towards the north: "The method of composting and making manure, and the water mill must be sent to Xianyang for the purpose of the king, and its effect is enough to shock the government and the opposition and become the help of Fa Chu." But if you think about it, when the names of the three brothers of the Ru family are presented to the king together, I can see the strangeness, let alone the king? β
Ye Teng knows best, Qin Wangzheng is also a loyal practitioner of Han Fei's theory. In terms of the use of law, magic, and power, no emperor has been able to stand out from the past and present. Ye Teng didn't dare to deceive the King of Qin like fooling the King of Han, the traitorous and evil generals of Korea arrived in the Qin State, but they could only be loyal and good ministers.
No matter how vicious and cunning the wolf is, when it reaches the feet of King Qin, it becomes a dog wagging its tail.
If you don't want to, you can only rebel like Changpingjun, but in Ye Teng's opinion, it is a dead end, the general trend has been decided, and Changpingjun is already the dry bones in the big tomb of Chu State......
The most hated thing in the king's life is betrayal, and the most sensitive thing is deception! LΓΌ Buwei, Chang Yu, Fan Yuzhi, Chang Anjun, think about what happened to those who betrayed and deceived the king.
The king, who has to inspect more than 100 catties of slips every day, will not miss a single detail.
So if you don't think about your rhetoric in advance, something will definitely happen, and it's hard to say that even he, the southern county guard, has to bear the charge of not being noticed.
This is also the reason why Ye Teng pressed down the "compost and manure method" offered by An Lu and did not dare to go to Xianyang immediately, he had to ask clearly before he could make the next decision.
If Fang Cai Heifu blows nonsense, heh, although it will not be suddenly tortured, but this person's career in this life is almost over......
For now, he is telling the truth, and he is still worth helping.
Hearing the county guard mention the King of Qin, Heifu also suddenly realized: "Thank you for the county guard's life-saving grace!" β
"You understand?" Ye Teng smiled.
Speaking of which, how can you not understand? Heifu could only say: "The subordinates remember it in their hearts!" I dare not forget it in this life! β
"Then go down, let the medical first responders you train, this matter must be done!"
But a few words of kung fu can make the promising Heifu owe himself a "life-saving grace", Ye Teng is very satisfied, although he is a small person now, he may use it one day.
Now that the purpose has been achieved, he clapped his hands, let the subordinates outside in, and began to send off the guests, and did not forget to give a few words before parting.
"You are young, you have seen and heard in the ears of the king, the road ahead is still long, don't delay the future for small profits and small things! Han Feigongzi sent me a sentence back then, and I will give it to you today......"
Ye Teng said solemnly: "Those who have a great sin will deceive the lord in their deeds, and their sins deserve death!" β
