Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "In ancient times, Dayu ruled the water, by no means the power of one person, Yao Shunyu soup, was not born to be a king, can win the hearts of the people to win the world, this people's heart, not a small favor can be bought, but a natural and convincing force, different from person to person." ”

Hagi Niang understood: "I understand, affinity, I think the slave is very affinity, and all those who meet him will naturally trust him." ”

Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, this kind of ability can't be learned, for most people, this is innate, it can also be said that it is given by God, which is what I often call the mandate of heaven." ”

"However, not everyone who has the mandate of heaven can end up with a good death, Wang Mang was born noble, talented and beautiful, and a corporal of etiquette and virtuousness, which makes people admire at a glance, but in the end he was stubborn and self-serving, lost people's hearts, and died at the hands of villains, why do you say this?"

Jinu was puzzled: "Naturally, it's because he usurped the Han, isn't it?" ”

Liu Muzhi shook his head and said: "History can learn from the present, if it is only because of the change of dynasty, then all the founding kings should not have a good death, before the Han Dynasty, there was no Han, if you are from Qin, Zhao, can you guess that there will be Han after that?" Can this usurper be used on Gaozu? ”

Hagi Niang was also confused: "What is that for?" ”

"In all dynasties, there is no emperor who doesn't want to take all the power in his own hands, if you think about it, it is a commoner, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the family will think about fighting for power, there are few people in total, who has the final say is their most important thing, not to mention the emperor who is rich in the world."

"How to implement the imperial power is different from person to person, Gao Zuxing, Han Yejian, but is there no one around him who can compete with him for power? Is it necessary that he is more capable than all others? No, he is not as good as Han Xin in the army, and he is not as good as Xiao He, and his reputation is even more incomparable with those descendants of the royal family and the sons of aristocratic families at that time, but those people are just a handful of loess in the end, only the name of Gaozu will remain in history forever, is this just luck? ”

"At the beginning of Gaozu's accession to the throne, all states and counties were in the hands of kings with different surnames, and the real power was not in the hands of the emperor, but he couldn't bear it, fabricating charges for them one by one, and breaking them all, and finally there was the White Horse Alliance, not the Liu family but the king, and the world attacked it. I have to say that Gao Zu's intelligence may not be as good as Xiao He, but in terms of playing with power, he is far better than Xiao He. ”

Wang Mang's mistake was that he was too anxious to implement the new policy, which caused everyone's dissatisfaction at once, especially the dissatisfaction of the high-level scholars, and affected their interests. You know, without the support of the civilians, the civilians may hoe the ground and shout 'what a bullshit emperor'; And if the magnates are dissatisfied, they will get together and discuss, 'Why don't we change the emperor?' ”

When Liu Muzhi said this, his chest stirred, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and said leisurely: "Now you only trust a few of us, this is because we have shared hardships and experienced so much together, but ten years later, twenty years later, maybe some of us will turn against each other, some people will see through the red dust and quietly escape the world, there will be people who are intoxicated with power and can't extricate themselves, everyone's thoughts and thoughts are changing all the time, and people's hearts are unpredictable all the time." ”

"So, don't look at others with the same thoughts, but understand what everyone cares about most at the moment, so that even the most stubborn enemies can be used by you, and all those who are loyal to you in the first place will die to you. If you can do this, then no matter how many states and counties you have in the future, as long as you choose the right people who are loyal to you, and gather those who are not loyal to you at the moment, but are driven by interests to be loyal to you, then you will never have to worry about no one to help you. ”

The slave listened attentively, plausible, perhaps understood, or not.

But Liu Muzhi's words planted a very fresh seed in his heart, he seemed to see a new world, given him enough experience and more attempts, this kind of seed may not blossom and bear fruit and become a towering tree.

In silence, Yang Siping said with a smile: "I don't understand these big truths, but I only know that 'there are people in the court who are easy to do', now that we have money and food, it is better to give a gift to the Lord Wang Mi you said, so as to urge him to hurry up and complete Liu Lang's appointment documents." ”

The serious atmosphere was broken all of a sudden, Liu Jingxuan hammered him, and scolded with a smile: "As far as you can think of these ghost ideas, we are all honest people." ”

"Honest man" Liu Muzhi smiled embarrassedly: "I still need to say that you said that I almost didn't have money to buy food, and I had already prepared a gift for Lord Wang Mi and sent it, but the mountains and rivers are far away, and there has been no news, but we should be considered meritorious in breaking Nankang, I guess this appointment will come soon." ”

Health.

The inner court is really discussing the military of Nanjun.

As usual, Wang Ya presided over it, and the little emperor played on the side.

Sima Dewen accompanied the emperor's brother, but he was not playing seriously, but pricked up his ears to listen to the adults.

Wang Ya was never the first to express his opinion when deliberating, on the one hand, to show his humility from a humble background, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to express his opinion first. Generally speaking, as long as he expresses his intentions, this thing will not be done, and those nobles of the family who are in the corpse position will immediately jump out against him one by one, and after a few times, he will also learn to be obedient.

"Jingzhou Thorn History" Yin Zhongkan first said: "That Huan Xuan is scheming, and he can also fight well, according to the old minister, as long as someone can restrain him and frustrate his spirit, then the exceptional reward is also deserved!" ”

He is obviously the assassin of Jingzhou, but he has not been able to control Jingzhou for many years, and this time he is like a lost dog, and he finally escaped from under Huan Xuan's hands, and he didn't even dare to go back to Jingzhou, and he has been hiding in Jiankang. Most of the families present looked down on him and thought that he was an incapable straw bag, so no one responded to him after he finished speaking.

Only Yu Yu's Yuzhun nodded and said: "What Lord Yin said is very true, when employing people, he will promote that Liu Yu and let him go to fight with Huan Xuan for Jingzhou, even if he loses, he can also consume Huan's troops, if he wins, although it is unlikely, but even if he wins, it is just a cold cloth and will not become too much of a threat." ”

said "Hanmen cloth clothes" in front of Wang Ya, isn't this pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey? However, none of the families present felt that there was anything outrageous, and nodded one after another: "Exactly, these poor people who have no foundation will gain momentum for a while, and they will not become the climate." ”
