19. Training
"Lord Qinxuan...... Now it's only 1500 stone territory, right? I listened to their words and groaned slightly, and then asked Hatano in front of him.
"Yes, Your Highness really knows everything!" Hearing the long-awaited actual content, Hatano's face flushed, and his voice began to tremble a little.
"That's good! First of all, expand your knowledge and deeds to 3,200 stones, serve as the acting official of the upper half of the county, and make up for the Hatano family elder. "I was very decisive on the spot.
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness......" Hatano thanked him excitedly, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and his mouse-like beard was also curled.
"Come here, come near me!" I put down the folding fan in my hand and beckoned to him, my voice so soft that it seemed to call to a kitten.
"Is Your Highness calling me?" Hatano asked uncertainly.
I nodded and beckoned again. "What ...... do you want," I reached out and patted the uneasy Hatano on the shoulder twice. Although His Royal Highness Hideji has committed the crime of death, I know that he is just a scholarly scholar who admits death, and many things are instigated by someone. Now the world is still not peaceful, and many people do not want to lose their interests because of the end of the troubled times, and there are not a few people like Xiguo. I am now entrusted with important matters by the right general, and there are already many places and many people in Tanba, and I can't take care of them, so I have to rely on you to pay more attention to me. I am relieved that you will do something, and I will support you if something happens! After saying this, I slapped it twice.
"Your Highness is deeply gracious to heaven and earth, and there is no way to repay your broken bones!" After saying this, he hid his face and began to cry.
"Well, it doesn't have to be that way! Chongzhi, you will send Lord Xuan for me! "Suddenly I remembered the seventeen boxes in the house." The right general has already given me carte blanche to deal with this matter, and since people are dead, don't be embarrassed for them! Pro-Xuan, you brought His Royal Highness Hideji back to Tambo and buried him with jade in his mouth. The other two family members of His Highness are also staying with you temporarily, so you should take care of them. Alas, what a pity! I let out another long sigh.

"If you have any questions in your heart, just ask them!" I said to Senkomaru after the two of them left. He had been confused since just now, and his mouth had opened several times and he couldn't make up his mind.
"Yes, Father!" Seeing that there was an unfamiliar Nagano Ye present, he looked a little shy. "Sir once taught me 'the way of the master, near the gentleman and far from the villain.' This Hatano pro-Xuan is obviously a treacherous villain, why do you use him so much? ”
"The way of the Lord? Wicked villain? You can say that again! Ha, ha, ha...... "I'm really happy, not because of how clever my son's opinion is, but he began to observe with his own eyes and began to think with his own brain. Maybe they're really starting to grow up, not just physically but also mentally, but I didn't realize it before. "Tell me, why do you see that he is a wicked villain?" I asked with interest.
"Yes...... "Analects" says that 'the gentleman is said to be righteous, and the villain is said to be profitable', this Hatano pro-Xuan is obviously a villain who only seeks profit!" Senkomaru looked at the other people in the room again. Nagano was still smiling silently, and Goto Matabei was also standing there quietly. “…… Hideharu Hatano is his lord, and although his younger brother has nominally inherited the Hatano family, it was imposed on them after all, and he may not win the hearts of the people in a short period of time. But this person turned a blind eye to the old master of the lower field in advance, not only did he not actively persuade but lured and bewitched him, and afterwards he used their lives in exchange for a ladder to enter the body. If such people are not villains, I am afraid that there will be no villains in the world! ”
"Well, well said! Anything else? I was very satisfied with his words, and I looked at Nagano Yemasa, and he also bowed slightly.
"Yes, there are still some ......" got my affirmation and no one else objected, and Xian Limaru's courage gradually grew. If he was really loyal to his younger brother Ryuomaru as he said he was, then even if he did not send troops to capture the fleeing Hatano brothers, he should have sternly refused them entry into the castle and immediately informed the elder Nagano. But what he did was to welcome the two men into the city, and he jumped up and down very actively......"
"Wait a minute, how do you know that?" I asked out of the blue.
"Yes, the Hatano brothers have just escaped from their detention center, and they must have been very nervous at the time!" When I asked him this, he was a little nervous. “…… If he had shown the slightest suspicion at that time, the brothers would not have dared to stay there for long, let alone use it as a base for rebellion and gather their comrades to resist! ”
"Keep talking!" I didn't say anything right away.
"And ......" Xian Limaru thought for a while and continued: "If he is just a timid wall-to-wall grass, then he will not allow those with different ambitions to gather with him, even if he does not leave the city and abscond when the soldiers are in the city, that is, he secretly surrenders to the inner party, but he kills all his comrades at once!" It can be seen that he has premeditated and is ready to fight back. So I thought that this person was not only a villain, but also extremely insidious and vicious! ”
"Teacher, what do you think of this child's opinion?" I turned my head directly to ask Nagano for his opinion.
"Congratulations to the lord, there is a successor to the Zhuxing family!" Nagano Yoshimasa sincerely congratulated him, and every wrinkle bloomed with heartfelt relief.
"If the teacher sees that this child is still educational, please take him for a few years, and I can only rest assured if it is in your hands!" I have long had such a plan, and I have not been able to improve my common sense of the details of the war of this era, but a good commander cannot completely ignore these things. "Xian Limaru, come and salute the teacher!" I greeted.
"Yes!" Senkomaru came over and gave Nagano a proper salute.
"Disrespectful!" Nagano Yemasa didn't stop at the signal of my gaze, but he straightened up and returned half a half.
"Now I'll tell you about your doubts...... "I'll see them all sit back in their places, and I'll speak." Among all living beings, true gentlemen and true villains are only a small part, and they can be said to go to two extremes. But both of these people have their own distinct characteristics, and if you can put them to good use, you can do things in a bad way! ”
"Could it be...... Could it be that the words of the saints were wrong? Senkomaru asked with two large eyes that originated from Senzhi, full of doubt and a hint of horror.
"The words of the saint...... Naturally, it can't be said to be wrong! "I thought about how to explain it to him." The two sentences of "the gentleman is righteous, and the villain is profitable" means that the value orientation of these two kinds of people is relatively simple, and the difference is that the gentleman forgets his selfishness and takes righteousness, and the villain seeks his own interests by abolishing the public for his own benefit. Therefore, the sage asked the master to be close to the gentleman and do things for himself, and to alienate the villain so as not to be deceived by it! ”
Senkomaru listened quietly, as if wondering why I was contradicting myself.
"But you have to know that a villain is not the same as a person who is incapable!" Sure enough, I changed my mind. On the contrary, villains are often more persistent than gentlemen in doing things for their own selfishness! As a lord, as long as you see the villain clearly and know what is the greatest 'benefit' for them, you can drive them to accomplish many tasks that a gentleman cannot accomplish, or disdain to complete. Therefore, blindly avoiding villains is just a manifestation of their own incompetence, and such a person can be the 'master' and it will be the end! ”
"Can the superior who can use the villain, is it higher than the realm of the Ming Lord?" Immortal Carp Pill asked excitedly with colorful ripples in his eyes.
"Of course!" I'm also very happy to see him come to my senses so quickly. "To be able to spot gentlemen and use their strengths, to identify villains and to be able not to be blinded by them. Then this superior person can be called the 'Ming Lord', and his career can prosper. If in addition to these, you can also use 'profit' to drive the villain, so that they can move forward for your purpose regardless of life and death. Then this superior person can be called a 'Maven', and his career will be proclaimed by the history books as a model for future generations! ”
"How can you drive the villain? Is it like you are pro-proclaimed to this Hatano? Senkamaru asked with perseverance.
"Naturally, I haven't reached the realm of 'Maven' yet, but Hatano is indeed a pawn of mine!" I nodded, somewhat regretfully. "Although his betrayal made him prosperous, he also offended countless people in Tamba. Not to mention how many people who dare not rebel because of timidity, but who are determined to seize the wild family, there are only a few people who are connected with the dozen or so Hao clans that he killed. Now that he has taken the first step, he must continue, because there are countless pairs of eyes watching his every move at any time. All he could do was look at the people in Tambo for me tremblingly, because he knew that if the situation turned around, he would be the first to die! ”
"Since he was able to betray Hideharu Hatano for profit, wouldn't he betray his father again in the future when he faced greater interests?" Senkamaru asked again.
"Have you ever seen a wolf?"
"I've seen it! When you went out hunting, you used to bring back hunted wolves. "He didn't understand why I was asking this.
"When the wolf was young, it was milk, but when it has sharp teeth and tasted meat, it will not go back to feed!" I sighed, but I need to make my children realize the cruelty of reality. "This villain already knows the benefits of betrayal, and will betray me as soon as he has the opportunity. In fact, Tambo was forcibly defeated by us, and those wealthy people may betray me! ”
"Then you still ......" Senkomaru looked at me in surprise.
"But after this incident, Hatano Qinxuan and other wealthy clans will inevitably become fire and water!" I gently fiddled with the folding fan in my hand, but it seemed like a sharp knife. "There is an old saying: 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and the friend of my enemy is my enemy!' Although this sentence has been circulated for a long time, it is not necessarily true. If I make two of my original enemies mortal enemies, they may both become my 'friends'. Whoever tries to unite with a foreign enemy against me will inevitably be exposed by the other side who is always vigilant! ”
"What are you going to do if the traces of Hatano or others are revealed?" Senkomaru said worriedly.
"Whoever is against it, kill it immediately!" Seeing Xian Limaru's pale face, I suddenly felt a little unbearable in my heart, and I should still leave a certain amount of room for the child. "If you don't want to get your hands dirty...... You can find another 'villain' to do this! ”
