Chapter 179: A Discussion About Chen Fei
Chang'an, Taiji Palace, Liangyi Palace.
"Du Aiqing, was that Chen Fei called back to Chang'an?" Li Shimin asked.
Du Ruhui immediately nodded and replied: "He was called back, and it was the minister himself who asked the minister's younger brother Du Chuke to call him back, and he should be on the way now." But in fact, I wanted to continue to test him and let him work in the county for a few more years, but why did the emperor let him come back so quickly? Could it be that the emperor misses the little princess? If you miss the little princess and call the little princess back soon, why call Chen Fei together? And directly let him leave the position of Shuoxian county magistrate, is this too anxious? ”
Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Shuo County has done a good job, and the next officials in Shuo County are just Xiao Gui Cao Sui, and they don't need so much energy." In fact, in my life, I claim to have seen countless people, but I have to admit that I have lost my eyes here with Chen Fei. ”
"Oh? The emperor has a time when he is gone? Du Ruhui said.
Li Shimin took the initiative to say: "Whether a person is talented or not can often be seen from his temperament. This Chen Fei is not a talented and ambitious person at first glance, and originally I just wanted to use him as an ordinary chess piece, that is, to place him in the Taiji Palace as an eyeliner. But now I find that he can manage the people's livelihood so well and make a county town rich, which is really impressive. I've never been able to figure out why he's so capable, but his temperament is nothing more than the temperament of an ordinary mediocre person. I have been learning the art of observing people since I was a child, but this time I lost my eyes and almost missed a talent. He's so talented, I want to use him, but ......"
Du Ruhui asked again: "But what?" ”
"The relationship between him and King Xi's daughter is ......," Li Shimin said.
Du Ruhui knew that Li Shimin still had some pimples in his heart, and he obviously couldn't let go of Chen Fei for a while, and he saved Li Jiancheng's daughter at that time. Although it's just a daughter. It's not a son, it's not something that can never be forgiven. However, Li Shimin also left a pimple because of this, although he would not kill Chen Fei, but he did not have a good impression of Chen Fei.
"Your Majesty, the matter of King Xi has passed, not to mention that he was the painting tutor of King Xi's daughter and the mentor of Princess Lizhi, so he is just doing his duty as a mentor. There are not many mentors who can watch their students die in front of them, and this is a really good mentor. Didn't the emperor want him to be the mentor of the emperor's grandson? And if he can treat his students like this, then he will definitely teach the emperor and grandson seriously in the future. So isn't that a good thing? Du Ruhui said.
Li Shimin thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. If you look at it from another point of view, this can also prove that Chen Fei is a truly qualified tutor, a teacher who can do anything for his students, then he is definitely a truly excellent tutor. Li Shimin also had to admit that this kind of mentor was difficult to find with a lantern, so the knots in Li Shimin's heart were resolved a lot again.
"Your Majesty, where are you going to let this Chen Fei go next? The emperor is in such a hurry to let the ministers get him back to Chang'an, so he should have an idea? Du Ruhui asked.
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Actually, it's not that I want him to come back this time. It was Cui Fu who planned to let him go. ”
"Huh? Did the emperor say that Cui Fu had a crush on him? Du Ruhui suddenly asked mysteriously.
Li Shimin said: "Yes, Cui Fu has taken a fancy to him and wants him to do that." ”
Du Ruhui said again: "Cui Fu cooperated with us this time, but what did Cui Fu like about him. Actually chose him? This Chen Fei, I have observed some of his usual resumes in Shuo County, he seems to be very unfamiliar with conspiracy, he is not proficient in conspiracy. So is it a bit difficult for him to do this kind of thing? ”
"Hahahaha......" Li Shimin suddenly laughed.
"What is the emperor laughing at?" Du Ruhui asked.
Li Shimin replied: "He doesn't know how to scheming? I don't think there is anyone in this world who knows more about scheming than he does. The so-called conspiracy of ordinary people is nothing but the level of ordinary 'art'. But he had already reached the level of the Tao. Others are trying to grasp the power, let themselves have greater power, and wish the whole world was in his hands. However, I understand that this kind of person is just a memorial person, even if the kings who have seized power since ancient times are actually mediocre people. The real Ming Jun is the one who dares to delegate power, and truly dares to hand over power to his subordinates, rather than concentrating on himself. Chen Fei was already well versed in this, so his power and scheming were not in the same realm as those ordinary officials at all. He has already reached the realm of 'Tao', can you still say that he is not able to scheming? ”
Sometimes delegating power does not mean that one's rights have decreased. Although you have delegated power, the centripetal force of your subordinates has increased a lot, and the execution of your orders is more thorough and smoother. Therefore, delegating power is the real "Tao" level, and the so-called centralization of power is just a "technique".
Du Ruyan was speechless, he didn't expect Li Shimin to praise Chen Fei so much. And Du Ruhui also thought that Chen Fei was a good talent, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to have a higher evaluation of him. Originally, Du Ruhui thought that Chen Fei was not proficient in conspiracy, but now it seems that he is really powerful. By delegating power, using the power in his hand as a bargaining chip, let the local snakes in those places support him, so why not be a capable person? Only those who know how to delegate power can really fight for rights, and this Chen Fei's power scheme is actually very high. This kind of person is born to be an emperor or a prime minister, because they know how to delegate power.
And the prime minister who knows how to delegate power is actually the most reassuring person for the emperor. If a prime minister grasps the power, I am afraid that it will make the emperor suspicious. And if you can delegate power, it means that you have no ambition in power, so that the emperor will really rest assured.
"Since the emperor wants to choose him, let him go. But it's a place where you can't eat people and don't spit out bones, and he's a person who has no family background to shelter, will he be willing to go? What if he refuses to go, or simply leaves? Du Ruhui asked.
Li Shimin was silent for Du Ruhui's question, and said, "Then wait for him to return to Chang'an, and let me see him." If not, then force him to go. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
