"You said you were looking for someone to be our lobbyist." Heard Zhang Fan say this. Zhang Juzheng immediately raised his head. His face was also full of energy. Apparently. Zhang Fan's proposal was of great interest to him.

"That's what students mean." Zhang Fan nodded. Said. "Wait until tomorrow. Let's talk about the news after it gets out. Although no one dared to say anything above the early dynasty. But below. In private, there will inevitably be messy conversations. This time. If only someone could stand up and speak for us. The situation is bound to be much better. ”

"Hmm. That's true. Listen to Zhang Fan's narration. Zhang Juzheng himself was also thinking. "Only. There are still some troubles. ”

"Trouble. What does it mean to be a teacher. "I heard Zhang Juzheng say that there was trouble. Zhang Fan hurriedly asked.

"You know. Those who don't need to say anything will agree with us. And he is in a high position in the DPRK. People who have power in their hands. In fact, their temper is also extremely stubborn. Zhang Juzheng said. Until that time. If someone else is talking about how to oppose something. Maybe these people themselves will stand up and refute them. Where do we need to talk about it? Lobby them. But if you do go to them. Maybe they're thinking differently. You may even wonder if there is some conspiracy here. In that case. Many people may still keep their mouths shut. Then we're going to do it too much. ”

"Hmm. Truly. What the teacher said was good. Listen to what Zhang Juzheng said. Zhang Fan also agreed. After all. Those ministers in the court. People who have been in the career for a long time. More or less grumpy. Especially those who have always been honest and incorruptible. In fact, this kind of person is much more difficult to deal with than those corrupt officials.

After all, corrupt officials and corrupt officials. What I do on weekdays is not very serious. Although it has been a long time. Maybe they don't have that feeling of tension and guilt in their own hearts. But actually. Guilt has long been buried deep in their hearts. It's just hard to put it into words.

If it is against such a person. It's actually very easy to do. Don't take it too plainly. If you put it too plainly. On the contrary, it will cause them to be dissatisfied. Under the influence of self-esteem. Naturally, they will vigorously deny it. On the contrary, it can't be done. But if you use some vague way. Read between the lines. Make him feel like you know about him. Now I just don't want to be too direct. so that he can have a staircase down. That's the kind of threat that works the most. Although he may not agree to come down on the spot. But then there is a great possibility that it will help you.

And for those officials who are honest and honest. That's the trouble. As a matter of fact. Qing officials are the most difficult people. Some people really just enter the career and have always been consistent. Never be greedy for a penny. He has never formed a party for personal gain. Some may just be a minor offense. But it's harmless. Now he has long since changed his ways. This kind of person seems to be very upright. Yet actually. This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with. It's also the most unreasonable.

These people. Whether it's really incorruptible. Or those who once had a gloomy history. Now the bleach of the false seriousness. All have one thing in common. That is, he thinks that Lao Tzu is the best in the world. I haven't done anything wrong.

And people who often have such thoughts. It's all about one thing. That is, he is an upright person. He has been an official "incorruptible" all his life. I haven't done anything wrong. So. They don't feel like they need to be afraid of anyone. No matter how high the opponent's strength is. No matter how big the power is. It was useless in front of them. They feel they have a point.

That's it. Such people are often encountered. It's okay on weekdays. But once you have something to ask them. That's the trouble.

If you are lower than theirs. That's not bad. After all, that's the case. You really went to ask them. In the process. Naturally, it is inevitable to meet and greet each other. Those flattering words are also indispensable. In that case. Their self-esteem was satisfied. Naturally, it will give you some benefits. As long as it's not too difficult. They'll all say yes. Even if it's something they can't do, or even something they don't want to do. It's possible to say yes.

But. If you are in front of them in a high manner. Things are different again. Take today's Zhang Fan or Zhang Juzheng. Even Feng Baolai said. These three people can now be said to be smooth sailing in the court. And all of them have very high status. It can almost be regarded as a figure standing at the apex of officials. Even Zhang Fan. With the relationship between him and Zhu Yijun now. It is also normal that it will go to the next level in the future.

And if these three people go to those people for help. Or send someone in the name of the three of them to get those people to help. Things are different again.

Those who pride themselves on being incorruptible. For those who are in a higher position than themselves. Most of them have a pathological contempt. In their opinion. He is the one who deserves to be in a high position. And others who are of higher status than them. It must have been done by improper means. So face them. These people are extremely disdainful. Even the other party didn't say anything. They have already begun to reject each other.

This comes down to it. It's just a pathological manifestation. Although it sounds very unpleasant. Even a little disgusting. But when all sorts of unusual behaviors become commonplace. When unaccustomed becomes a habit. These things will become normal.

If you are higher than the other person. Now it's when they need their help. It's quite difficult. If the posture is too high. They're definitely not going to help you. They feel that they are all incorruptible. There is nothing to be afraid of. But they also boycott those who are higher than them. And. Even if it's you coerce and lure them. It doesn't have to be done.

Tempting words. It's not that these people really don't eat the fireworks of the world. There is not a single desire in my heart. Of course. There must be that kind of person among them. But most of them are just mortals. Since it is mortal. Then there will always be something that will impress them. Merely. These people say whatever they say. Maybe it's obsession. Maybe it's been disguised for too long. In the face of these sudden temptations. Maybe your mind will waver. But in most cases, they will resolutely refuse.

After refusing. Naturally, they won't promise you anything. It's not that you don't get any benefits. That's just one aspect. More so. They always feel. You "bribe" them to do you a favor in this way. It's simply an insult to them.

That's the case. There was nothing to be gained. I felt insulted again. Don't say it's these people. No one can promise you.

And coercion is even more needless to say. These are really incorruptible. Or self-proclaimed incorruptible officials. The last thing they are afraid of is that someone is going to oppress them with power and officials. In their opinion. Since I haven't done anything wrong. Then there is no need to be afraid of such people. Officials who think this way. It's not just about other officials. Even the emperor's heavenly might. They still dare to offend. And often. If such a person is really cut down by the emperor. There will also be a good story. However, the emperor killed such ministers after all. After all, because of the special reasons of these people. Generally, there was some fame in the government and the opposition at that time. If the emperor killed such a person for some reason. The common people were even the officials of the imperial court. Usually they don't remember how the person offended the Saint or did something terribly wrong. They will only talk about how loyal and patriotic this man is. But because he was outspoken in front of the emperor. Thereby offended the emperor. Killed.

As an emperor, he naturally heard of such a thing. Especially to the Ming Dynasty. Although some emperors may not believe it yet. But nowadays. Just because the court staff has passed some officials. And the government and the opposition are inseparable. I also want to hear people say that I am a faint king. So the current emperor. Although I also don't like this kind of thing very much. But they were able to avoid killing people as much as possible.

Imagine. These people are not even afraid of the emperor. Will you still be afraid of the first assistant of the cabinet like Zhang Juzheng? Maybe Zhang Fan and Feng Bao will go into battle. Relying on the reputation of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, these people can be suppressed. But that's not an option.

"Hmm. What the teacher said. It's a big problem. After listening to Zhang Juzheng's words. Zhang Fan also nodded with deep understanding. He had seen many such people in the past. Especially in the brocade guard. He's seen a lot. And the officials captured by the brocade guard. Most of them are like that.

And. More than half of them are people. Even if he is already on the torture rack. Even if they have already been punished. But the mouth is still very hard. It seems that he still has a big reason. No one can treat them like this.

So, ah. Now Zhang Juzheng said so. Zhang Fan also felt a little unreliable. These people are not afraid of the minister, they are afraid of the emperor. I'm not afraid of the emperor, I'm afraid of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. And now. Even the two most terrifying official groups of the Ming Dynasty are not afraid. Zhang Fan didn't know what else could make sense of these people.

But Zhang Fan didn't worry about it for long. Something suddenly occurred to him.

"Yuande. Did you think of something. Seeing Zhang Fan's brows stretched. Zhang Juzheng understood that he had already thought of a way. So quickly asked.

"The students understand the teacher's troubles." Zhang Fan said with a smile. "But the students know. There is one person. As long as I go to him for help because of this. He would absolutely agree. ”

"Oh. Who is it? Zhang Juzheng was also interested.

Zhang Fan also looked at Zhang Juzheng. said with a smile: "That's naturally Lord Ge Shouli of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”
