Chapter 44: The Art of Slaying the Dragon

After the shareholders' meeting of the Shanhe Society, Yizong Li Yi's desk suddenly had a lot of concerts, which were all played by some low-level officials at first, and the content was the same, basically talking about one thing. Impeachment of Xichuan Jiedu envoy Lu Yan, dereliction of duty, and lawlessness. At first, Li Yi didn't care. I thought it was just some officials, there was nothing to do, so I was looking for something to do.

But later, the wave of impeachment became bigger and bigger, and Li Luo still had some feelings for Lu Yan, after all, a few years ago, Lu Yan was very comfortable serving him, coupled with his temperament to protect his shortcomings. So Long Wei was furious and furious. A few officials were punished, but Li Luo's anger seemed to add fuel to the fire, and there were more people impeaching Lu Yan.

Now Li Luo was embarrassed, although he could suppress the twists and turns, but the courtiers in the court ignored it, and attacked in court, especially Zhang Zhifang, the commander of the right Yulin Army, actually said bluntly in the court that Lu Yan is a national thief, he and Lu Yan do not share the sky, and even die in court, if it weren't for Jin Wuwei's pull, the former Youzhou Jiedu envoy, and General Jin Wuwei, I am afraid that blood will be splashed in the court.

This matter has caused a lot of discussion in Chang'an City, and the most discussed by everyone is indeed that this straight side is not crazy, and it is not an exaggeration to fall into the hole of the former prime minister, but it is to the point of dying to admonish, how much hatred must be this?

More people speculated whether this Luyan had forcibly occupied Zhang Zhifang's fans before, such a major event in the court, but it was overwhelmed by the peachy news in the streets.

After Li Bao heard Zhang Zhifang's incident, he looked up to the sky and sighed, what a good actor this is. This old boy should really be allowed to go to Hollywood to develop, and the little golden man must be able to catch it.

Due to a series of events in the court, Li Yi was in a very bad mood, and there were several fires, and the inner servants in front of the emperor had been punished several times. Now the servants who are on the errand by Li Luo's side are all silent. I didn't dare to dangle in front of Li Yi if I had nothing to do, so as not to suffer an unwarranted disaster.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

On this day, it has arrived on December 24th, the day of the New Year, Li Bao is in the study, writing a note Chen, mainly to guide Liang Hongmei how to promote and launch new products. Ling'er came in and reported to Li Bao that someone from Xianning Hall had come.

Li Bao didn't dare to delay and went out to greet him. It is said that this person was a child when he was young, and then his family suffered a military disaster, in order to survive, he was castrated into the palace.

Li Bao knew that he was the righteous son of Liu Xingyue, a lieutenant of the Shence Army, named Liu Jishu, and he was polite to Li Bao on weekdays. Li Bao felt sorry for this Liu Jishu in his heart, he didn't do it as a good literati, but he became a eunuch, which really humiliated his ancestors.

Li Bao regretted but didn't know that this white-faced eunuch Liu Jishu almost killed Li Qilang Tang Zhaozong Li Jie in the future. If Li Bao knew, he didn't know what to do in his heart.

The guest and the host sat down to talk, and Liu Ji explained his intentions, it turned out that Li Luo had been bored for the past few days, so he asked the waiter to call Li Bao to go, and Xianning Hall relieved his boredom. Li Bao thought that this Lao Tzu was not bad, but he could think of himself when he was bored, which showed that his status in Li Luo's heart was getting heavier and heavier.

Li Bao cleaned up, and took Hu Sanbao and Liu Jishu to Xianning Hall together.

A group of three people in the Daming Palace, the winter sun hangs in the air, like the yellow of a salted duck egg, the sky is clean, Li Bao didn't have the heart to watch this rare winter clear sky, just bored and walked to the Xianning Palace.

After a short time, he came to the Xianning Palace. Liu Jishu went in to report that Li Bao's master and servant were waiting outside the palace.

After a while, Liu Jishu came out and let Li Bao in, but Hu Sanbao still had to wait outside.

Li Bao entered the hall, looking at the many pieces scattered on the ground, Li Luo sat on the bed, saw Li Bao entering, beckoned to him, and motioned him to sit on the low stool in front of the low table.

After Li Bao saluted, he sat on a low stool and said to Li Yi: "What's wrong with your lordship today, why do you lose your temper so much?" ”

Li Luo heard Li Bao's question, got up and did it, and said in an atmosphere: "These officials are really hateful, Lu Qingzhen has already released him as a festival envoy, and they are still chasing Lu Qing." There are as many pieces of impeachment against him as there are snowflakes every day.

I didn't know that this Lu Yan had left the center, but he had done such evil things, and he had become a "national thief" among the courtiers. Why do I think Lu Qing is respectful and talented? Why has he become a traitor now? ”

Li Bao listened to Li Luo's words and heard his feelings for Lu Yan, this pair of good friends used to be very happy, but at the beginning of the year, under the pressure of Wei Baoheng and Guo Shufei, he had to let Lu Yan out of the center. There was still guilt in Lu Yan's heart, but Li Yi recognized Lu Yan in the impeachment of the courtiers. It was difficult to accept Lu Yan's huge contrast and extreme frustration in his heart.

Li Bao turned a few times in his heart, and said to Li Luo: "Don't worry, adults, I read the history books a few days ago and saw an extremely exquisite story, so it is better to tell it today and share it with adults." It's just that this story, I only know the rough, I can't get through it all, and if I want to use the wisdom of an adult, I won't be unable to understand it. Li Bao first gave Li Luo a high hat.

"Oh, Rokuro, let's talk about it." For Li Bao's top hat, Li Luo smiled and said in his heart: This son is also quite good at coaxing himself to be happy.

This story is about Yuwentai, the founder of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. met Su Sui, a famous man who can be as famous as Zhuge Liang and Wang Meng. Yu Wentai asked Su Sui for advice on how to govern the country, and the two talked secretly for three days and three nights. It is recorded in the historical books. The conversation between the two is as follows:

Yu Wentai asked: "Why is the country established?" ”

Su Sui replied: "Gu Guan." ”

Yu Wentai asked: "How to be an official?" ”

Su Sui replied: "Use corrupt officials, anti-corrupt officials." ”

Yu Wentai asked puzzledly: "Why use corrupt officials?" ”

Su Sui replied: "If you want to ask others to work for you, you must give others benefits." And you don't have so much money for them, so give him the right to use the power in his hand to loot the people's fat and ointment, and won't he get benefits? ”

Yu Wentai asked: "The corrupt official has benefited from the power given by so-and-so, and what benefits will it bring to so-and-so?" ”

Su Sui replied: "Because he can get the benefit because of the right you give, so he must defend your right in order to protect his own benefit." Isn't your rule, then, secure? You have to know that everyone wants to sit on the emperor, and if there are no corrupt officials to maintain your power, then how can you consolidate your rule? ”

Yu Wentai suddenly realized, and then asked puzzledly: "Since you use corrupt officials, why do you want to rebel?" ”

Su replied: "This is the essence of power. If you want to use corrupt officials, you must fight against corrupt officials. Only in this way can we fool the people and consolidate our rule. ”

Yuwentai was puzzled when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Aiqing, tell me the mystery." ”

Su Sui replied: "There are two advantages to this: first, how can there be an official in the world who is not greedy? Officials are not afraid of greed, but they are afraid of not listening to you. In the name of fighting corruption, eliminate corrupt officials who do not listen to you, and retain corrupt officials who listen to you. In this way, you can eliminate dissent, consolidate your power, and gain the support of the people.

Second, as long as the official is greedy for ink, his handle is in your hands. If he dares to betray you, you will get rid of him under the pretext of greedy ink. The corrupt official is afraid that you will destroy him, so he can only listen to you obediently. Therefore, the 'anti-corruption officer' is the magic weapon you use to control the corrupt officials. If you don't use corrupt officials, you will lose the magic weapon of 'anti-corrupt officials', so how can you control the officials?

If everyone is a clean official and is deeply supported by the people, and he is disobedient, you have no excuse to get rid of him; Even if it is removed by force, it will cause public unrest. Therefore, you must use corrupt officials so that you can clean up the ranks of bureaucrats and make them all supporters of you. ”

He said to Yuwentai again: "What else? ”

Yu Wentai widened his eyes and asked, "What else?" ”

Su Sui replied: "What if you use corrupt officials to provoke public resentment? ”

Yu Wentai was taken aback, but he didn't expect this, so he asked: "What is the best way to get rid of this trouble?" ”

Su Sui replied: "Raise the banner of anti-corruption, increase publicity, and prove that you care about the people." Let the people mistakenly think that you are good, and the bad ones are those officials, and put the responsibility on them, and do not let the people think that you are the culprit in the appointment of corrupt officials. You have to make the people think that you are good. There are so many problems in society, not because you don't want to do a good job, but because the officials below do not implement your policies well. ”

Yu Wentai asked: "What about some officials who have too much public dissatisfaction?" ”

Su Sui replied: "Kill him and avenge the people!" Put the money he looted into your pocket. In this way, you can live up to the name of looting people's money, but get the benefits of looting people's wealth. In short, using corrupt officials to cultivate dead parties, eliminating corrupt officials to eliminate dissidents, killing corrupt officials to buy people's hearts, and not greedy for money to enrich one's own pockets, this is the secret of power. ”

After listening to Li Bao's story, Li Luo's shock in his heart was incomparable, what kind of historical story is this, this is obviously the technique of slaying dragons. The dragon slaying technique that so many kings in the Tang Dynasty have never been able to comprehend was slowly said through the mouth of a child.

Li Yi looked at his son, Li Bao had a confused expression on his face, which made Li Luo weak for a while, and a little hesitant, how could this Liulang have so much talent. Is he really a ten-year-old?

If this kid takes over my Datang's thousands of miles, where will he take Datang? Li Luo was pondering, and Li Bao spoke.

"How do you feel when you hear this story?"

Li Luo raised his head and looked at Li Baodao: "Is the story of Liulang really what you see from the history books?" ”

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"Oh, I just think that Rokuro is so smart must be a blessing to my Tang Dynasty. After listening to Rokuro's story, I felt much better, and I knew what to do about the problems that plagued me. ”

"If you can solve your heart, it must be because you are clever and wise that you understand Bao's story. That being the case, the adults must have a lot of government affairs to deal with, so I will leave. ”

Li Bao withdrew from the Xianning Palace, walked in the cold wind, his heart was indeed hot, and shouted into the air: "Do you see, do you see my brother's lore?" ”

The palace people on the road looked sideways, but Li Bao didn't care, let go of his pace, and ran forward......
