Chapter 51: Encouragement and Trickiness

"If that's not the case, how can you show that you, the emperor, have a lot of opportunities?" Lin Yi said with a smile. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Xiao Mu ignored Lin Yi's sarcasm, but said very seriously: "I'd rather be an idler who doesn't do anything every day than be the emperor who manages everything every day." ā€

"Who let this be the arrangement of fate? Why else would you cross? And he happened to cross over and became Emperor Chongzhen? Seeing that Xiao Mu seemed to be a little negative, Lin Yi put away his joking mentality and enlightened Xiao Mu and said.

"yes, why did you let me cross it? I don't have any special skills, I don't know how to intrigue with others, I don't know how to make money, I'm just a useless repeater. ā€

"Hey, don't be so pessimistic, it's appropriate to say that you're not good at intrigue, but you're also an economics student at a famous university, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to make money or something, right?" Lin Yi felt that Xiao Mu seemed to lack confidence in himself, so he cheered him on.

"Studying economics and being good at business and making money are two different things, even if they are famous economists in history, there are many people who have been poor all their lives, not to mention the existence of me who repeats grades for two years." Xiao Mu said helplessly, "The real world is not what it is in TV and movies at all. You look at the protagonists in those TV novels, if you study history, all of them are well-versed in the past and the present, and they know five hundred years before and five hundred years later, and they wish that none of the historical figures knew about their lives, old age, sickness and death, eating, drinking, and Lazar; If you study medicine, all of them are like Bian Que's reincarnation and Hua Tuo's rebirth, and the prescriptions prescribed are like the unilateral prescriptions of the elixir, and things like dry bones and raw meat are more like commonplace; What if it's special forces or something? Martial arts are naturally not a problem, but also to be proficient in the use of various weapons and guns, driving a train, flying a plane is a trivial matter, that ability to be able to go to the moon for nine days, down to the five seas to catch turtles......"

"That's just the need for the plot, if the protagonist is not good enough, where will the audience buy it? Just look at those things, don't take them seriously, why do you need to compare them with them? And you also said that studying economics is not directly related to making money, so even if you fail all the courses in college, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are not good at business and making money. Lin Yi then comforted, "There are so many emperors in history, and not every one of them is a wise master, and there are not no idiot emperors, but the vast majority of emperors are just that, in terms of wisdom and talent, they are just equivalent to ordinary people. You are also from a famous university, don't you have the confidence to compare with those mediocre people? What's more, you still have the knowledge of the next three hundred years, so what is there to worry about? ā€

"But now it's the end of the Ming Dynasty......" Xiao Mu spoke again, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Yi again:

"Of course, I know that it is the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a time of natural and man-made disasters, internal and external troubles, but this is not the point. If you want me to say, the original Chongzhen Emperor in history is just a middle-aged person, in terms of intellectual level, it is impossible to be much stronger than you, but it is likely to be inferior to you, as for those political things, no one is born to know, as long as you know more, plus the memory of the original Chongzhen Emperor in your mind, I believe it must be very fast to master. ā€

In the end, Lin Yi concluded and said: "So, in my opinion, it is not very difficult to do something better than the Chongzhen Emperor in the original history. The difficult goal of supporting the building to fall and turn the tide and become the master of a generation of Zhongxing may not be achieved. But carefully maintain and try to make up for the damage caused to the dynasty by natural and man-made disasters, I believe you are still very possible. Even if he fails to get rid of the fate of the country in the end, he will at least be able to hold out for a few more years than the original history. What's more, I'll do my best to help you, maybe we'll be able to hold out until the day the bad weather ends, and maybe there will be new outstanding talents emerging at that time. ā€

Xiao Mu listened, he couldn't believe that these sincere words were actually said by Lin Yi, who would only laugh at himself desperately, and his heart was moved, but he was also aroused by Lin Yi's self-confidence, so he said: "Well, I will take the original Chongzhen Emperor as my goal, I am also an emperor, I have three hundred years of knowledge more than him, how can I do better than him." ā€

Lin Yi was very happy to see that his encouragement had finally taken effect, so he asked, "So, what are you going to do?" ā€

"First of all, it is necessary to understand the political structure and power composition of the Ming Dynasty today, and at least to understand what so many yamen do." Xiao Mu replied very clearly, "And also, you also have to learn the legendary 'Imperial Heart Technique', so that you can deal with those courtiers." ā€

It was already late at night when he left Lin Yi, and the first day of the sixth month of Chongzhen's first year seemed to be finally over, but Xiao Mu did not go to bed immediately, but found a copy of "Zizhi Tongjian", I heard that Sima Guang wrote a book full of political deceit and intrigue. Xiao Mu plans to take a good look at it and learn a little "imperial heart technique" from it.

Before starting to read, Xiao Mu remembered the so-called "three days and one dynasty" again, and he was not sure whether tomorrow was the day of the early dynasty, and then thought that he had no interest in the previous dynasty anyway, so he told Wang Chengen that he was "slightly ill", and the early dynasty in the next month was temporarily not on the first - this also breathed a sigh of relief for Emperor Chongzhen, who was criticized by the ministers only once in history without going to the court, at that time it was already the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and under the death of the country, the ministers did not have much fear for Emperor Chongzhen at least. However, Xiao Mu is now in the first year of Chongzhen, and no one would believe that the Ming Dynasty would die in more than ten years, and Wei Zhongxian and his gang had just been cut off, and Yin Jian was not far away, so no one should dare to rebel and openly challenge the emperor's authority at this time.

Wang Chengen naturally doesn't care about this, in his eyes, nothing is more important than the emperor's health, since the master is unwell, of course he must be well raised. The court has to get up early, not to mention delaying the emperor's rest, and there will be a lot of troublesome things for the emperor to worry about.

After explaining these things to Wang Chengen, Xiao Mu picked up the book "Zizhi Tongjian" and began to read it, but he didn't know when he read it, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

……

He has not been idle throughout the day, he has lived a very fulfilling life, and he has read books for half a day at night, Xiao Mu naturally slept soundly this night. But at this time, Luo Zhenxing and Zhang Chao, who were in Daxing, did not have such good luck, they had a very aggrieved night, and it was obvious that it was all thanks to that Du Lao Liu.

At the beginning, Luo Zhenxing and Zhang Chao almost effortlessly asked Du Laoliu to explain a lot of Liang Yanyang's affairs, and his statement can also corroborate Liang Yanyang's confession, the interrogation and assassination went smoothly, and the mentality of the two became very optimistic, it seems that Du Laoliu will be able to confess truthfully and honestly explain all the people behind him.

Just when the two of them were estimating in their hearts what kind of praise they would get and whether the emperor would personally reward them, Du Lao Liu began to exert his power and poured a basin of cold water directly on the heads of the two people who were looking forward to a better future.

In fact, Du Laoliu is far more difficult than they imagined, after knowing that Liang Yanyang had confessed, he told all the facts about Liang Yanyang, but everything he said was only about Liang Yanyang alone, and it was all things that Liang Yanyang had already explained, obviously, in his eyes, Liang Yanyang had lost his value, so he would confess.

As for the things that Liang Yanyang didn't know, such as the information about the characters behind Du Laoliu, as well as the situation of Liu Laoba, and the identities of the three gangsters who went with Liu Laoba to attack Wang Jingyuan's house, they all didn't answer a word. As for Liu Laoba, the four of them came to Daxing to find him, what Du Laoliu was for, and what they were going to do in the capital, they were naturally tight-lipped and no one wanted to ask.

Luo Zhenxing and Zhang Chao took turns to fight, and used all the tortures that could be used by Du Laoliu, and even those unique skills of Jinyiwei, and the cruel punishments that ordinary people absolutely can't bear have also tried many kinds, but Du Laoliu really seemed to be "he is strong, he is strong, and the breeze blows the hills", they all gritted their teeth, endured silently, and still did not explain a word.

Whenever Du Lao Liu fainted in pain, he would be woken up by someone splashing him with cold water. After interrogating and torturing all night, Luo Zhenxing and Zhang Chao were all exhausted, and the subordinates who listened to their orders and tortured together were all exhausted - one of the whip-wielding arms was so sore that they couldn't even hold the whip. That's it, they still haven't been able to dig out anything useful from Du Laoliu's mouth, which makes Zhang Chao, who has always boasted of his unparalleled ability in using punishment at that time, and even Jiannu is not a problem, very hurt, and a strong sense of frustration hit his heart. Although Du Lao Liu was in their hands and could be tortured at will, Zhang Chao felt that he was the one who was tortured by the tricks, and Du Lao Liu was the victorious side.

The night passed, and there was faint sunlight coming in the dim prison, Du Lao Liu was already dying, Luo Zhenxing and Zhang Chao had to give up the torture for the time being, after all, if this continued, Du Lao Liu's life was likely to be lost, so he really couldn't ask anything. At that time, the errand personally assigned by the emperor was not completed, don't expect a reward, and it is already the emperor's grace to be able to avoid punishment.
