Section 33 Persuasion
Jin Qiude shook his head mockingly: "It is said that the emperor is very simple and not luxurious. β
"Reactive power is passing, even if it is a chair of the county, sitting on it is reactive is passing, otherwise wouldn't it be simpler to put a wood carving, not to mention the position of the Son of Heaven. In addition, the emperor is not without faults, right...... Let's talk about simplicity...... "Zhao Slowxiong has always felt that Zhendong Hou is called simple, and he has never spent more than Hou Fulu, and his life is not bad." never talked about pomp, a servant in the Hou Mansion could count it with two hands, and the congratulatory gifts he gave on weekdays never exceeded ten taels of silver. There are many people who are dissatisfied with this matter - they feel that Zhendonghou is too shabby and stingy with his brothers, but Zhao Slowxiong thinks it's very good, every time Zhendonghou celebrates his birthday, he only returns less than ten taels of silver to congratulate him: Anyway, Zhendonghou never celebrates his birthday, he won't invite me to dinner or give valuables, and other people give things worth hundreds of taels of silver...... Am I stupid?
And although Chongzhen Tianzi eats very little, I heard that he is reluctant to burn charcoal for heating in winter, and it is rumored that even the queen has to help patch the dragon robe, but when it comes to the royal face, Chongzhen Tianzi can not save money at all, and it costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to change the lanterns for the palace every year, Zhendong Hou said to Zhao Slowxiong in private: No other, as long as the lanterns are changed during the New Year's holidays, Chongzhen's family is more than enough to eat, drink, and dress warmly: "Then the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise." β
Jin Qiude is one of the people who is a little dissatisfied with what Zhendong Hou has done, he admits that Zhendong Hou Taoguang is right, but never holding a banquet will only make the court think that you are deliberately Taoguang and obscure, and life is so shabby will make the court wary...... Well, this is all in the past, and the imperial court still can't take Zhendonghou in the final analysis, but the problem is that Zhendonghou has always accepted all the orders from He Yi and never returned them...... Well, that's it, most people gave things before the first closure of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the people who gave gifts after the closure didn't want him back, but after Zhendonghou became the prime minister of military training, he didn't seem to have much intention of returning this favor, which inevitably made people a little cold.
Jin Qiude had heard Zhao Slow-bear say that this was the strategy of the Marquis of Zhendong, and he preferred those subordinates who could survive on their own money, such as himself. But Jin Qiude thinks that this is basically impossible, unless he doesn't care about anything like Zhao Slowxiong, he will not go to find a gift but come to himself, such as Jin Qiude himself, if he doesn't accept anything, the people below will feel that the errand can't be done, at least Jin Qiude asked himself if he can't learn the ability to take people and eat people like Zhendonghou. And this style has caused a lot of negative effects, such as: "The question now is how to talk to the old brothers?" β
According to Jin Qiude's original intention, Zhendonghou only took people who were willing to go with him, but Zhendonghou asked him to try his best to convince everyone, and Jin Qiude felt quite troubled by this: "I don't think I can convince this guy He Baodao." β
β¦β¦
When Jin Qiude and Zhao Slow-bear were privately speculating, Zhendonghou was talking with his old friend.
"No matter what dissatisfaction the adults have with Hou Inspector," unlike in Shandong, He Baodao's perception of Hou Xun has changed greatly: "The fierce flames of breaking into the camp have begun to subside, and they are no longer powerless to threaten Jingshi." β
"A year at most." Zhendonghou was not as optimistic as He Baodao, and put down a chess piece casually.
"After a year, we can train the 12 battalions of the new army, and the adults can personally lead the 60,000 troops to the battle." He Baodao thought that with such a powerful army following around Zhendonghou, everything would not be a problem.
"The emperor ......" Zhendong Hou pondered the words and considered the tolerance of the interlocutor: "This time the Kaifeng fishing fee, I heard that the emperor knows and approves of it." β
"Maybe there's some villain ......," He Baodao's tone was full of uncertainty.
"Probably not." Zhendong Hou interrupted He Baodao's words, now is not the time when Chongzhen just ascended the throne more than twenty years ago, he is now a middle-aged man and not a teenager, he should have a sound mind and be able to take responsibility for his actions.
"Okay," He Baodao didn't hold on hard, but confessed: "The emperor is really stupid." β
It is not the first time that Zhendonghou has heard such words from He Baodao's mouth, according to his experience, He Baodao will have the following, and after years of training, the more experienced He Baodao will come faster and faster.
"But at this time, it is even more necessary to be loyal and filial...... "As Zhendonghou expected, He Baodao's following quickly followed, and the last time Zhendonghou remembered that he sighed for at least a few minutes.
"Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, and martyrs don't care about the second husband." Zhendonghou began to wander, and he somehow remembered these two sentences in his mind, which reminded him of the conversation with Yang Huaizu not long ago: "It's really a good analogy, it seems that I am not the first person to realize that Chinese scholars and doctors have dwarfed their own personality and concubines in front of the king, but some people have long realized it, but they don't think there is anything wrong with this." β
According to the past experience of the Marquis of Zhendong, He Baodao would talk about loyalty and filial piety, and would only persuade them to turn back with tears when the king's father made a mistake, rather than ignoring it or running away from home.
ββ¦β¦ My lord, my subordinates dare to ask, if your ancestor did something wrong, what would you do? It is true that the subordinates do not know, but as far as the subordinates are concerned, if the deceased father violates the laws of the imperial court, the subordinates will never dare to say: 'Father, you have done something wrong. Or pretend not to see it, or to quibble, but will read the laws of the court to his father, hoping that his old man will be able to detect it himself, if not, his subordinates will kneel outside his old man's door without saying a word......"
"So if the emperor is wrong, we should also kneel outside the Forbidden City and persuade him to repent with tears." Zhendonghou made up for He Baodao in his heart, I didn't know why, Zhendonghou always didn't like to watch the legend of Shushan Swordsman and other immortals, and then he gradually understood a little, maybe because the apprentices who made mistakes in it always had to kneel outside the master's mountain gate for several days, and they couldn't stop when it was windy and rainy, and they really regretted it: "Although I also respect my teacher, I even copied my homework during the winter and summer vacations, and I was distracted in class, talking, writing small notes, and I was full of resentment when I was punished for copying ten times- Let me kneel outside the door for a week, and I will sincerely cry and repent...... No wonder no one ever came to me. β
Whenever he falls into this kind of topic that Zhendonghou completely opposes but can't get out, he will always involuntarily wander out of the house, anyway, it's time for the other party to go, Zhendonghou's step is very threatening, "Tesuji, Tesuji!" Zhendonghou exclaimed proudly in his heart, and saw with satisfaction that He Baodao was thinking hard: "There is a very interesting question, the same is the strict hierarchy of feudal society, the lower the Chinese people, but it seems that the less servile, and the elite who should become the pillars of society, have a good education, have a broader vision, and have seen more folk suffering, when they are often full of servility, the higher the status, the more so." β
"Maybe they're too close to the Emperor?" The Marquis of Zhendong speculated in his heart: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, the emperor who acts for heaven will not make mistakes, and the people can comfort themselves if they rebel, it is the emperor's right to know the county; If the trouble is bigger, the emperor loves the people and the prefect is cruel; The bigger ones are the emperor's wisdom and the governor's faintness. The people always have a reason to comfort themselves, and they don't have to overthrow the belief that the emperor will never make a mistake at once, and the officials are too big, and the minions who are too close to the master have to choose to resolutely defend the creed......"
For a while, Zhendonghou couldn't figure out the truth in this, this question was very interesting, but he went home and thought about it slowly.
"My lord," I didn't hear what He Baodao said in the middle, but he finally got to the point: "Your Excellency should go to persuade the emperor, the so-called civil death admonition, martial death battle, but in the position of the adult, the admonition should also be." β
"Hmm." Zhendonghou nodded lightly - Wen Death Advice, Wu Death Battle, Well Said! We don't ask about right and wrong, good and evil, and only die, our culture is full of this kind of concubineization of imperial power, is this a defect in our culture?
"No," Zhen Donghou quickly denied his thoughts: "Clinton also cried bitterly on TV back then, crying to the people of the United States that he just made a mistake that a man would make, and begging everyone to forgive him." It seems that it is a human instinct to cry bitterly over the source of power, and although it seems inappropriate to be an outsider, the source of power and the person who enjoys it will feel that it is appropriate. Zhendonghou remembered the German king who was broken out of the church, although it turned out that he was resentful, but he could indeed kneel in front of the pope for seven days like a low-eyed little daughter-in-law: "The difference is that the gods can see through people's hearts, so the apprentices have to cry sincerely and weep bitterly, what a god, actually punished for kneeling for a few days and nights can cry sincerely, it is really different from ordinary people like me...... In China, it is called the monarch and the minister, in the West it is called the pope and the king, in the Xianxia world it is called the master and the apprentice, and in the modern society it is called sadism and masochism......"
Zhen Donghou suddenly realized that he was too empty in the fugue again, and he quickly drew his attention back to look at the chessboard......
"What a hand towel, it's just a footcloth." He Baodao's response made Zhendonghou feel intense pain, and he cursed his previous step in his heart, but Yu Guang still noticed He Baodao's serious gaze. This gaze made Zhendonghou feel that he couldn't be ruthless, and while his mouth unconsciously responded, Zhendonghou said to himself in his heart: "I can't judge these people by the standards of the future, I can't privatize the national army, if I use the standards of the future, Mao Shuai and I are both damned traitors; But I can't judge these people by the standards of antiquity, I am the country, and by the standards of antiquity I am still a damned traitor. I have to be judged by two different standards on different occasions, so I have to be tolerant of others......"
β¦β¦
"How's Kim Qiu-deok?" Li Yunrui asked Zhao Slow-bear, he waited for the other party in Zhao Slow-Xiong's study all afternoon today, and it wasn't until the evening that he saw the master who had just returned from a secret discussion with Jin Qiude.
"Definitely an adult person." The expression on Zhao Slow-bear's face was very relaxed, and he and Jin Qiude had discussed a lot of details of the operation these days.
"In other words, Nao Wei is still tightly held in the hands of adults, right?" Li Yunrui's expression was very serious, this question was related to the safety of Zhendonghou staying in Jingshi, and it was also related to Zhendonghou's follow-up actions.
"Yes, Jin Qiude is dead set on adults." Zhao Wanxiong glanced at Li Yunrui and asked, "What did you come to me today?" β
"A group of people who may have fornicated with the camp have been discovered." Li Yunrui took out a list from the letter and handed it to Zhao Wanxiong, which was densely packed with names, their positions and resumes.
"Do you know?" Zhao asked as he watched.
"Your Excellency has already seen it."
"Oh." A name on the list caught Zhao Wanxiong's attention, and he stopped browsing and pointed to Li Yunrui: "This Jin Mancang, is it the person I thought?" β
"Yes." Li Yunrui replied.
"Didn't he worship Wang Qinian as his godfather and serve as an officer in the fire battalion?"
"Yes." Li Yunrui still replied meticulously.
"You said your lord knows." Zhao Wanxiong raised his head: "What do you have to show you?" β
"My lord said that Brother Zhao is solely responsible, let me ask you."
"Oh." Zhao Wanxiong was not very surprised by this answer, he pondered for a moment: "Why did Jin Mancang do it?" How did you confirm? β
When he signed up for the teaching team, he once said that he was from near Jinan, but later he suddenly changed his words, "Li Yunrui has always pretended to have an extraordinary memory, although he is so old, he can definitely be called a treasure knife and immortal:" I felt strange in my heart, so I asked a few instructors who had taught him in the teaching team back then, and they recalled for a while, and they remembered that Jin Mancang did say that he was from Jinan, and I knew that I would not be mistaken. β
"Where is Jinan?" Zhao Slowxiong's eyes flickered.
"It's where Wang Qinian slaughtered." Li Yunrui sneered.
"Oh-"
"I had sent him to monitor a few unstable people in the teaching team before, and those people fled to Xu Ping after he monitored them, I didn't think it was too wrong at the time, you also know that it was too chaotic at that time, and Jin Mancang was not the only one who monitored them. But I checked carefully, these people all picked Jin Mancang to run away when he returned to Shandong, and one of them had always had a big mouth, but after I asked Jin Mancang to spy on him, he suddenly changed into a person, and he always kept his mouth tight and did not leak a drop of water until he escaped. Li Yunrui sneered again, he secretly investigated some other background information, and quickly guessed what Jin Mancang wanted to do: "This guy, he didn't even change his surname when he worshiped his godfather, obviously he was uneasy and kind." β
