Chapter 2 The Metamorphosis of Thought

Du He saw that Du Ruhui not only did not help him with ideas, but instead grew up with other people's ambition to extinguish his own prestige, and for a while he had mixed feelings, looking at the codex lying quietly on the stone table, standing in the empty courtyard.

was silent for a long time, although Du He's heart was not divided, he had to admit that what Du Ruhui said was the truth.

He went to the palace to talk to Li Shimin so rashly, if he didn't have the words to convince Li Shimin, why would he change his decision. You must know that Li Shimin is the emperor, how can he easily break his word?

He took a few steps forward and picked up the codex left by Du Ruhui.

He opened the codex, but he couldn't read it, but he glanced at it aimlessly, and suddenly a few lines caught his attention: "Those who love love will be extremely lustful when they are very happy; It has desires, and it cannot hide its feelings. and in the time of great fear, they shall be exceedingly wicked; Those who have evil cannot hide their feelings. Something will change. Those who are moved but do not know what has changed, do not talk to the wrong person, but ask their relatives and know what they are safe. The husband's affection changes in the inside, and the form is seen outside, so it is often known by the person who is hidden, so it is called the depth of the investigation. ”

Du He's expression was shocked, and when he turned over to look at the title of the book on the codex, he saw the three ancient characters of "Guiguzi".

Suddenly, I understood Du Ruhui's intentions, and my heart was excited, the book "Guiguzi" was a thaumaturgy left by Guiguzi. This Guiguzi's surname is Wang Mingxu, and he is the founder of Zonghengxue, and often goes to Yunmeng Mountain to collect medicine and cultivate. Because he lived in seclusion in the ghost valley of Qingxi, he called himself Mr. Ghost Valley. His two great disciples, Su Qin and Zhang Yi, are extremely famous: one with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, he hung the seal of the six countries in the east, and led all the countries to jointly resist Qin, which was prominent for a while; And the other relied on his strategy and lobbying skills to disintegrate the Six Kingdoms and make immortal contributions to the Qin State.

Speaking is also a skill, thinking that Su Qin was born in poverty, he is a farmer, but he can hang the seal of the six countries, and Zhang Yi is just a nobleman of Wei State, but he can become the first minister of Qin, they all rely on one mouth.

As long as it is used well, one mouth can still defeat 100,000 male soldiers.

Thinking of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, Du He's hands trembled slightly, and he held his breath and looked at it seriously.

"Therefore, with the wise man, according to Bo; With the blogger's words, depending on the discernment; Speak with the discerning person, depending on the need; Speak with the nobles, depending on the situation; Speak with the rich, depending on the high; Speak to the poor, and rely on profit; Speak with the lowly and rely on humility; Speak with the brave, rely on the dare; Speak with the fool, rely on the sharp; This is also the case, and people often do the opposite. Therefore, it is said to the wise man, and it will be made clear by this; Speak to the unwise, and teach them this; And it's very difficult to do. Therefore, there are many kinds of words, and things are changeable. Therefore, in the end, it is said that words do not lose their kind, and things are not chaotic; In the end, it will not change, but it will not lose its master. Therefore, Zhigui does not forget. Listen to Guicong, remarks Guiqi. ”

Seeing this, Du He's heart shook wildly, these words are too right! If you want others to agree with you, you must first "figure out their feelings" and understand the psychology of others, so that you can make suggestions in the right way. Carefully tasting these few words, I was afraid for a while in my heart, if I didn't have insight into Li Shimin's mind, didn't understand why he married Tubo, and rashly went to him to theorize, not only could it not be successful, but it would make Li Shimin feel disgusted.

This is the science of speaking.

Du He was no longer reckless, but calmed down, and seriously read the whole book of "Guiguzi" from the beginning, which is divided into 12 chapters, in order: scheming, reaction, internal strength, resistance to the play, flying hoops, resentment, speculation, speculation, power, strategy, decision, and runes, is a book that studies the strategy and power of social and political struggles, and the book is full of strategies and skills of speech and debate.

Time passed imperceptibly, and after reading "Guiguzi", night had fallen.

Du He closed his eyes and recalled the main points of the book,

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the original ideas were like a stream converging into a river, and various solutions came to mind one by one. After this meditation, Du Ho's intuition suddenly opened up.

A copy of "Guiguzi" has made Du He's thoughts have a change in substance, no longer limited to what he sees in front of him, and he sees the problem more deeply and farther.

Du He walked back and forth, no longer overwhelmed by emotions, but thinking about Li Shimin's true thoughts, Li Shimin was known as the first emperor of the ages and the lord of the world. He will not be at the mercy of anyone, and he will never venture into the idea of making peace unless it is profitable.

"If you want to convince him, you must find out where the benefits of peace with Tibet are! As long as you find the advantages here, you can find the problem fundamentally, and then refute, persuade, and solve the problem. ”

This is Zonghengxue, a terrible political doctrine that is rational and calm, so it is also called the "art of war"!

Du He's mind kept coming to mind, what Li Shimin did in history, he wanted to understand Li Shimin, understand his thoughts, and understand his purpose.

From the beginning of Li Shimin's accession to the throne, to the expedition to Liaodong, the attack on Qiuzi, the attack on Goryeo and other deeds, suddenly his eyes lit up, and everything was understood.

"I see!" Du He slapped his thigh and shouted, "I understand!" ”

Li Shimin is a generation of heroes, a Ming monarch who has a mind to open up territory. In his mind, he had a general strategy, that is, to dominate the Western Regions and conquer Goryeo. Therefore, the strategic purpose of the Tang Dynasty is in the north, on the Silk Road, and in Liaodong, and the objects are Gaochang, Qiuci, Dashi, Goryeo, Turkic, Xue Yantuo, etc., which block the hegemony of the Western Regions and the conquest of Goryeo in Li Shimin's heart, rather than the Tibetan Tibetans living in the Tibetan Province.

The area around Tubo is barren and located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is not suitable for them in the Central Plains at all, so Li Shimin does not even have the intention of conquering them.

Tubo is getting stronger, but it is still far from the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin didn't take the radish in Li Xueyan's mouth in his eyes at all. Compared to him Li Shimin, what is that soil radish?

However, if he wants to expand into the north, then he must ensure peace in the rear.

Therefore, he wants to make peace, he wants to form an alliance with Tubo, so that Datang has a stable rear, and then he can realize his ambition and hegemony.

Did Li Shimin do something wrong?

No, he did the right thing.

At this moment, Du He really felt Li Shimin's ambition and extraordinary vision.

Historically, because of the marriage with Tibet, the Tang Dynasty and Tibet were in a state of peace. Although Tibet was strong because of this, the Tang Dynasty was also able to carry out a series of foreign wars because it had a stable rear.

It's just that Li Shimin ignored one point.

He Li Shimin is the first emperor of the ages, and under his governance, he is majestic and heroic, making the Tang Dynasty powerful and unmatched.

But what about his descendants?

Gaozong Li Zhi, Empress Wu Zetian, and even Xuanzong Li Longji, although they are all amazing figures, how can they have Li Shimin's ability to make Siyi surrender?

When Li Shimin was there, Tubo was as docile as a sheep, and as soon as Li Shimin died, it didn't take long for Tubo to show its sharp teeth.

Du He showed a confident smile, which understood Li Shimin's thoughts, just like finding the root of the patient's disease, and then the only thing left was to apply the symptomatic medicine.

PS: Haha!

Thanks to everyone's support, this book officially entered the top three of the new book list and achieved quite good results.

The word "thanks" is really difficult to express gratitude in my heart.

So the second generation decided that it would still break out next week, at least three times a day.

Tomorrow is Monday, and the battle of the new book list will start again, which is the most critical first day to hit the list, so let's support it again!
