For the emperor, using loyal and capable courtiers is of course the best choice, but this is like a fish and a bear's paw, it is really difficult to have both.

Although the emperors of all dynasties hope that their courtiers can be like Meng Tian of the Qin Dynasty, Xiao He of the Han Dynasty, and Zhuge of the Shu Kingdom, not only have extraordinary abilities, but also have a fierce loyalty. But the reason why these characters can be passed down through the ages is because such loyal ministers and good generals are too rare.

Generally speaking, loyalty to courtiers is often only paid more attention to by the king of the guard, and for the founding emperor, the ability of the courtiers is the most important. Because the founding period was the most dangerous period for the emperor. Because once the upper position fails, it will be the end of the death of the clan, so at this time, choosing capable courtiers and stabilizing the country first is their highest priority.

At the same time, this has also become an important reason for the slaughter of heroes by the founding emperors of all dynasties, because once the country is stable, these capable but less loyal courtiers may become the source of trouble.

After all, from the emperor's point of view, loyalty is only due to the lack of bargaining chips for betrayal, and when Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, Wang Mang did not usurp the throne, there are really many such examples.

Therefore, for the emperor, the loyalty and ability of the courtiers are not the things they care about the most.

For them, only a courtier who can control is a good courtier.

This is like the former anti-gold hero Yue Fei, the emperor may not know his grievances, but he still agrees to be executed on a trumped-up charge. This is because the imperial court used the twelve gold medal edicts in a row to chase it.

In the emperor's opinion, Yue Fei had lost his control.

If Yue Fei had withdrawn his troops and turned around immediately when he received the first gold medal, the tragedy of the Fengbo Pavilion might never have been staged, and even if he was dismissed from office, he would still have a chance to recover.

One general will achieve ten thousand bones, this is sometimes not only said about generals, but also for the emperor.

In order to test the loyalty of their courtiers, they can give up the gains and losses of a city or a place, or the victory of a battle, or even the lives of tens of thousands of Li people, which in their eyes is only a small section.

As long as the power is still in the hands and the courtiers are still controlled, the people and the city will be owned sooner or later.

In Zhao Laoer's view, Wen Qihang's ability is undoubted, just two counterinsurgency, you can see his talent in military affairs. Although loyalty is not good, there are some fly in the ointment, but as long as Wen Qihang is still within the controllable range, then you can only use its talents, not its virtues.

"Your Majesty, this night into the palace, after all, is not a trivial matter, if you let go of Lord Wen so easily, once everyone follows suit, Weichen is worried that it will cause damage to Your Majesty's prestige. And it will also make Wen Jue's actions in the future fearless, once this has a heart of disobedience, I am afraid it will be difficult to clean up. Wang Renzhen admonished.

If you want to become a courtier to rely on in the emperor's mind, there is no chance to just blindly greet him, and only by appropriately rejecting the emperor's opinion and putting forward his own ideas will he leave a deep impression in the emperor's mind.

"Wang Qing's family, what he said is reasonable. In this way, Pan Mei, the deputy commander of the Beijing Forbidden Army, was demoted by one rank for dereliction of duty, and he was appointed as the forward deputy general of the Yongxing Army. The editor of the national law set sail when he heard this, and because of his actions Meng Lang, he was specially fined for one year as a punishment. The corners of Zhao Laoer's mouth curled slightly.

"........" dereliction of duty and acting Meng Lang, what the hell is this charge? Wang Renzhen was quite speechless and said, "Your Majesty, this punishment is a bit too child's play. ”

"It's child's play! I hope this kind of thing will always be just child's play! Zhao Lao Er said meaningfully.

"Your Majesty........"

"Wang Qing's family, do you really think that Wen Jue will have a disobedient heart?" Seeing that Wang Renzhen still wanted to admonish, Zhao Lao Er asked rhetorically.

"Although Weichen doesn't dare to ensure it, Wenjue's loyalty is indeed debatable." Wang Ren said with a salute.

"Then what does the Wang Qing family think that a person with a rebellious heart should care about most in the first place?" Zhao Lao Er chuckled.

“........ Weichen is blunt, please advise Your Majesty! Wang Ren said curtly. How do you answer this damn question? Even if you knew, you wouldn't dare to say it! If the answer is correct, it will not prove that you have the intention of rebellion. If you answer incorrectly, you can look stupid.

"It's fame! Whether it is Zhou Gong or Wang Mang, they are all people who cherish feathers. What about Wen Jue? Not only is he a businessman without scruples, but he also spends a lot of money just to redeem a singer, and the most important thing is that in order to save a woman, he will cure the sores so that he can make him famous all over the world, and even the secret recipe that has been passed down through the ages, directly on a woman.

Wang Qingjia, do you say that such a person will have the intention of rebellion? Zhao Lao Er smiled.

Countless historical facts have proved that if you want to succeed in rebellion, the first person to rebel must have a very good reputation, otherwise it will only be a flash in the pan.

The cultivation of a good reputation is often referred to as the cultivation of hope.

Although he has no intention of rebellion, he also hopes that with the help of this fame, he can force the emperor to accept his political ideas, so as to achieve the purpose of reform.

It can be seen how fame is helpful to a person who wants to achieve great things.

But Wen Qihang not only openly businessed, but also went into battle in person and mingled with the merchants. It must be known that businessmen at this time are still at the bottom of society, and it is a common perception that there are no merchants and no traitors. If a businessman plans to rebel, no one will come to respond, and even the appeal of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang is not as good.

Although those dignitaries and dignitaries also have property in their families, they are often in the name of their subordinates, and they will never come forward, so as not to damage their reputation, which is to be known rather than seen.

"What Your Majesty said, Ling Weichen was stunned, but what is the reason why Wen Jue acted like this?" Wang Renzhen wondered.

"It's just a teenager's heart........ I've had it too! When Zhao Lao Er replied this, he seemed to have fallen into memory.

“........ Your Majesty! Seeing that Zhao Lao Er was in deep thought, Wang Renzhen called softly.

The story of sending Jingniang thousands of miles later, thousands of years later, is still being staged, if you hear that Qihang is here, you will definitely know what Zhao Lao Er is thinking. But Wang Renzhen could only be blind, and he didn't know what kind of hysteria Zhao Lao Er had suddenly committed.

"Small punishment and big commandment, Wen Jue is young after all, as long as I pay sincerely, I believe that Wen Jue will be influenced." Zhao Laoer, who came back to his senses, spoke.

"Your Majesty is merciful." Seeing that Zhao Lao Er had no intention of dealing with Wen Qihang, Wang Renzhen had no choice but to say helplessly.

In Zhao Laoer's opinion, the current Wen Qihang is not to be afraid, although he is extremely smart, but he is a teenager's heart, for the sake of a few women, not only impulsive and irritable, but also the opportunity to be famous through the ages, give up.

As long as you add some oil and vinegar in secret, you can easily control Wen Qihang, and with the matter of the Zhou sisters, you will cut off the possibility of Li Tang who is Wen Qihang. As for the Liao Kingdom, if you hear that you set sail and go to defect, you will be scolded by the people of the world for forgetting your ancestors.

Although the world is big, there is no place to set sail.
