523. The Art of Manipulating
Great Wei Celestial Dynasty Magic Technology Research Institute... As the most important state institution in the new era of the Great Wei Heavenly Empire, although the Academy of Magic Technology is not in the national political and military system, it enjoys a slightly higher level of treatment than these two!
As long as you are a technician at the National Academy of Magical Technology, you don't need to take a half-time job... The military, politicians, and major forces have co-opted you for no known number! Why? Because as the most important development institution in the new era of Great Wei, the Academy of Magic Technology is directly under the royal management! The supreme person in charge is Cao Cao, the founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty...
All the technical personnel are carefully selected talents from the whole country of the Great Wei Heavenly Dynasty through many requirements and tests, and the gold content is absolutely guaranteed! I don't have any skills in this place, and I don't want to go through the back door... The reason is also very simple: although the Great Wei Celestial Dynasty is one of the four great celestial dynasties of the Savage Continent, its family background is far less solid than that of the other three celestial dynasties!
It's better to ask for others than for yourself, although Da Wei and Xianyu's family are still a bit related to each other... However, the old Cao family knows very well in their hearts that this relationship is not the basis for the development of their Cao family. Therefore, in the era of the hottest research and development of magic technology in the new era, Dawei will never allow any mouse to sneak into the Magic Technology Research Institute! As for the technicians of the Magic Technology Research Institute, in addition to their own work, they also do a little bit of small action, as long as it is not too excessive and forgetful of public affairs, the Great Wei royal family will turn a blind eye! And for some researchers with great potential and ability, they will also give some potential privileges, and if something out of the ordinary, someone will help them clear up...
Because of the relationship between the Cao family and the Xianyu family in the Great Wei Dynasty, the children of the Cao family will carefully select a group of smart and clever children to be sent to study in hundreds of colleges from an early age.
For the more controversial topic of employing people with talent or meritocracy, they have been exposed to learning and research since childhood!
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives! Whether it's meritocracy or talent! As the administrator of the Great Celestial Empire, the Supreme Family! The first thing the people of the Cao family have to learn is to have a broad mind and vision!
There is a very interesting little story and exam questions about employing people in Baijia College!
It is said that in a distant ancient country, there was a big corrupt official named Heshen, who was cultivated and supported by the emperor all the way from a small person to become a powerful minister above 10,000 people under one person in that country, and later the emperor was old. After his son succeeded to the throne, he found out that this powerful minister and Shen were an amazingly corrupt official, so he killed him and raided his house...
The stolen money obtained from his home was dozens of times the national tax revenue of the country at that time, and when this big corrupt official was dying, he took out a secret decree specially left by the former emperor, originally He Shen thought that this was a life-saving straw for him, but who knew that there were only three words after opening it: leave the whole corpse!
Then here's the problem! What this story teaches you...
There is a ready-made answer left in the textbook as a reference! The person who answered this question was Xianyu, the village chief of Autumn Harvest Village!
Here's what Xianyu said:
He Shen died at his own hands, but the rope to kill him was prepared by the former emperor a long time ago! The reason is very simple: because He Shen made a very low-level mistake, that is, forgetting danger! Forget where you stand and what you do.
And the person who made him a powerful minister in a high position and leaning towards the government and the opposition would commit such a low-level mistake was the emperor who promoted and cultivated him!
He Shen's greed for money and corruption has become the huge corruption of the country, and even the huge amount of money embezzled is as rich as the country! Will such an amazing result be flawless? As the emperor who promoted and cultivated him, would he not know? People often say that the wall has ears and empty holes...
He Shen's corruption is not a matter of one or two days, but he can always be safe and sound... Is the reason really just because he is a powerful minister under one person and above ten thousand?
Of course not... He wasn't able to stay safe and sound all the time because of himself! It's because there is a person who has been silently 'protecting' him, and he uses his favor and cover to protect He Shen! Protecting him became a huge greed... And this man is the emperor!
He used his favor and protection to protect He Shen, and became a powerful minister under one person and above ten thousand people, and also became the biggest backer of all corrupt officials in the court!
At the same time, he used his favor and protection to protect Heshen, and at the same time established a deep affection with Heshen, and it was this long-standing deep 'affection' that paralyzed Heshen! Let him be bold, rest assured and bold to embezzle and take bribes, and accumulate wealth! But because of this, this long-term affection is loyal to this emperor!
But people often say that the heart of harming others is indispensable, and the heart of preventing others is indispensable! As an emperor, how could that emperor not be precautionary and prepared while 'reusing' Heshen so much?
This deep relationship between the monarch and the courtier became more and more ingrained over time, and this good story of the monarch and the courtier was maintained until the emperor grew old... Until death!
Ordinary people are once a son of heaven and a courtier, and the deep affection between He Shen and this emperor, with the emperor's aging and death... It also ushered in an inevitable turning point and a moment of choice!
The old emperor who is dying and the new emperor who has just ascended the throne, and Shen, the old emperor who was in power over the government and the opposition, and who was above 10,000 people under one person, not only has incomparably huge power at the moment, but also has the wealth to rival the country!
If he was still a little 'sober', he wouldn't fail to see the predicament he was facing... It's a pity that he has become accustomed to the paralyzed life that the old emperor built for him, and has long forgotten what a crisis is! He remained faithful, but he didn't see danger coming...
As an emperor, for the sake of eternal imperial power, no matter how true or false the deep affection between the old emperor and He Shen is... In the face of power, the old emperor 'has no choice'! But he still left a 'back road' for He Shen, in order to further paralyze He Shen! Let him not jump off the wall in the face of a huge crisis, and leave a fluke heart! This is the Emperor! This is the art of power and the art of manipulating...
But this result is only the worst possible outcome...
If He Shen took the initiative to hand over all his net worth and 'admit' all his mistakes when the old emperor was still there! Confess to the old emperor ...
That would be another result!
If it was a virtuous fish, he would not punish Heshen openly, but dealt with it secretly... Commonly known as private!
Although the new emperor ascends the throne, He Shen is still 'his crime cannot be escaped', and he will be punished and suppressed! But it won't end up dead...
As the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, and Heshen, as a powerful minister and a big corrupt official of the Son of Heaven, has a variety of rich experiences and experiences of a comprehensive nature that can become a huge wealth of knowledge for the new emperor!
And the 'stolen money' handed over by He Shen can also save the old emperor's 'face', and it also completes their 'affection' for half of their lives....
And this is not all the value of He Shen, even if He Shen wants to change fresh blood for his leadership team at the new emperor level, he doesn't have to worry too much... You can deal with the relationship between monarchs and ministers more calmly!
And Heshen is not only greedy for money and loves money, but also knows how to make money! So killing Heshen is undoubtedly killing chickens and taking eggs...
