"However, these days, this Zhao Junchen has been going from side to side, dealing with the prince with us old guys, and at the same time showing loyalty to His Majesty, but no one can be offended...... But how can there be such a good thing in this world......"
Hearing Zhou Shangjing's muttering, Zhou Lu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, always feeling that Zhou Shangjing had something to say, but he couldn't grasp it accurately, so he asked cautiously: "Master Fu, what do you mean......?" ”
Zhou Shangjing said leisurely: "On the temple, between the trade-offs of interests, anyone is a friend of the time, gathering for profit, and dispersing for profit, so this left and right approach cannot be said to be wrong, the old man has done it, His Majesty has done it, and anyone has done it." ”
Saying that, Zhou Shangjing slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes, which seemed to be faint, flashed with wisdom: "However, this method is just a choice of means, it is okay to try it occasionally, but it is by no means the fundamental way to settle down in the court, if you indulge in this, it is like playing with fire, sooner or later, you will be set on fire, but you can't even save yourself." ”
Although Zhou Lu is quite intelligent, he still can't understand Zhou Shangjing's brainless words after all, and he can't help but show doubts.
Zhou Shangjing doesn't talk much on weekdays, and even less reveals his thoughts, but for a cronie like Zhou Lu, he often mentions some teachings, so after seeing Zhou Lu's puzzled expression, Zhou Shangjing shook his head lightly, but he planned to say more.
I saw Zhou Shangjing smile lightly, and suddenly changed his words and asked: "The old man has been in the cabinet for nearly thirty years since the day he entered the cabinet, and he has been in the position of assistant in this cabinet for more than ten years...... Along the way, it can be said that there are many crises, but I not only stand tall, but the influence of power between the government and the opposition has become more and more great, Zhou Lu, in your opinion, why is this? ”
Regarding this question, Zhou Lu obviously never thought about it, and after hesitating for a moment, he replied cautiously: "This is because your mental means are much higher than others, even if there is any crisis risk, depending on your mental means, you can easily turn the danger into a disaster." ”
Zhou Shangjing smiled again, shook his head, and said slowly: "In this world, there are countless smart people, and the old man can only be regarded as one of them at most, but he is by no means the smartest one among them. ”
After a pause, Zhou Shangjing was half emotional and half praised, and said: "In the officialdom, above the temple, there are all the interests in the world, all the eyes in the world, and all the intelligent talents in the world. Its danger is everywhere, its intricacies, and its rapid changes must be imagined by people from far away. If you think that you can make a name for yourself with a little scheming, since ancient times, no one who has such thoughts can end well. ”
Hearing Zhou Shangjing's rebuttal, Zhou Lu not only did not get angry, but looked like he was listening to the teachings, and asked respectfully: "Zhou Lu is stupid, but he can't figure it out, and he hopes that Lord Fu will mention it." ”
Zhou Shangjing nodded, as if he was very satisfied with Zhou Lu's attitude, and said lightly: "In the officialdom, if you want to settle down, the most important thing is not scheming, or even the influence of power, but your own positioning!" Only by finding one's own position can one find the interest strata that fit with oneself, and with the support of the interest strata that fit oneself, can one have a truly stable foundation, and only in this way can one further develop in the officialdom. On the contrary, if you can't find your own positioning, just take a step to see a step, swaying the two ends of the snake and mouse from side to side, that is, the foundation is unstable, that is, there is no root, even if it is momentarily powerful, it is just a city wall composed of sand, which seems to be huge and majestic, but it is a push and falls. ”
Hearing Zhou Shangjing say this, Zhou Lu's expression was thoughtful.
The voice was a little louder, and Zhou Shangjing continued: "And the old man can stand tall in the court, because the old man has found his position since the day he entered the cabinet, that is, to become the representative of the minister's power!" And the interest class that fits with the old man is this hundred officials from top to bottom! ”
As he spoke, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Zhou Shangjing's expression, and he said leisurely: "Since ancient times, the imperial power has suppressed the vassal power, and the vassal power has fought against the imperial power, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind, and they continue to compete with each other, without stopping for a moment. Take our dynasty as an example, Taizu abolished the prime minister, it was the imperial power that suppressed the vassals, and then the rise of the cabinet was the struggle of the vassals against the imperial power, and then the twenty-four superintendents of the inner court were great, and it was the imperial power that overpowered the vassals again, and today, it is the balanced confrontation between the imperial power and the vassals...... The so-called 'harmony of monarchs and ministers' and the so-called 'loyalty of gentlemen and ministers' are just beautiful scenes. And the old man saw this point, and since the day he entered the cabinet, he has fought for the interests of hundreds of officials in the court, expanded their power, resisted the suppression of imperial power for them, and won their support in exchange for their support......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Shangjing smiled again, and then said: "So, although the old man has countless political enemies, they can't help the old man, don't look at Huang Yourong and Shen Changmao, they fight with me on weekdays, but this is just a struggle within the ministers." If the old man has a mistake in the future, unless their power and influence can already compete with the old man, not only will they not fall into the ground, but they will also try their best to solve problems for the old man, because once the old man falls, for them, it is to fall a towering tree that shelters them from the wind and rain on weekdays, and His Majesty's eyes will be focused on them, and at that time, under the suppression of His Majesty, their power may not be comparable to today. ”
After a pause, Zhou Shangjing said again: "In the same way, although Your Majesty is the supreme in the world, I am also very dissatisfied with the old man, but because the old man is the representative of the courtiers in the court and represents the interests of the Manchu courtiers, he does not dare to target me lightly, otherwise, it is aimed at the rights and interests of the Manchu courtiers, and the officials in the court will be suspicious, and the people will be unstable, and there will be chaos in the world...... As for the bad reputation, the hostility of the clear stream, and the threat to the old man, it is even more not worth mentioning......"
Zhou Shangjing said so much, Zhou Lu finally understood, his expression was full of admiration, and he exclaimed: "Master Fu's vision is far-reaching, far beyond the reach of others. ”
Zhou Shangjing looked indifferent, but the conversation changed again, and asked again: "So, Zhou Lu, what do you think of Zhao Junchen?" ”
