Is it related to the loyalty of the courtiers?

Of course it is!

Don't you hear that the small see the big, and see the small to know?

But Zhu Qiyuan couldn't say how to discuss it, but he vaguely felt that his father was going to tell him something.

Zhu Houzhao spread out a blank piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote down two words: human nature!

He said in a flat tone: "In this story, right and wrong don't matter. ”

"What matters is the ugliness of human nature revealed in it!"

"In a small courtyard, there are all kinds of bullshit and shit, showing the ugliness of human nature to the fullest."

"What would happen if I changed courts?"

Zhu Qiyuan was speechless.

Zhu Houzhao continued to teach Zhu Qiyuan: "A small courtyard, the number of people will not exceed 100 at most, human nature is still ugly, and the court will only be more ugly and ugly." ”

"So, don't believe the so-called loyalty, it's too cheap to stand up to scrutiny."

He warned his son with the attitude of a passer-by, hoping that Zhu Qiyuan would take fewer detours in the future.

"Most of the things in the world have traces to follow, but the human heart is unpredictable, and human nature is even more difficult to fathom."

"You say that the courtiers are loyal to your father and me, but is this really the case, in private, I don't know how many people are looking forward to your father and I dying as soon as possible."

"If the ministers are all loyal and courageous, then what is the use of the East Factory? What is the use of the West Factory? What's the use of Jinyiwei? ”

"Remember, never underestimate the ugliness of human nature, and don't trust anyone easily."

"Standing at the height of the emperor, if you dig out your heart and lungs and trust a person unconditionally, you will inevitably fall behind."

"Those who are in the top position need to maintain a vigilant heart at all times, and they can trust their subordinates, but they can't trust them all."

If Zhu Qiyuan has realized, in terms of the emperor's mental technique, he is far worse than Zhu Houzhao.

ascended the throne at a young age and came to this day step by step, Zhu Houzhao not only relied on his foresight, but also his imperial means.

Throughout the ages, people who have done great things have been seriously ill, and Zhu Houzhao is one of them.

"Do you remember the Donglin Party?"

Zhu Houzhao asked softly.

"Yes."

When Zhu Qiyuan was young, he studied history with Wang Yangming, and he was no stranger to the Donglin Party, a civilian-official power group that spanned several dynasties.

To this day, the Donglin Party still exists, and almost all officials in Taichang are from the Donglin Party.

The reason why the Taichang Dynasty became the bottom role in the sixteenth dynasty of the Ming Dynasty was that the rotten position of Emperor Zhu Changluo of Taichang was a major reason, but more due to the nonsense of the Donglin Party.

The other dynasties were aggressive and developed rapidly, and the Donglin Party worked hard to make money;

Other dynasties reformed their monetary policies, and the Donglin Party frantically resisted, and finally had to with;

The other dynasties are arrogant and the masters are gathered, and the Donglin Party is still busy suppressing political opponents;

To be honest, Zhu Qiyuan's image of the Donglin Party is very bad, and it can even be said that he is extremely disgusted.

"In your eyes, what kind of goods is the Donglin Party?"

Zhu Houzhao asked again.

"Donglin Party, cancer also!"

Zhu Qiyuan did not hide his opinion, and his face was full of disgust:

"My son has traveled to the Taichang Dynasty and has seen the situation there with his own eyes."

"Under the governance of the Donglin Party, the Taichang Dynasty can only be described as a miasma, and the court is boastful and unspeakable, but there is not much real ability, which leads to a lot of bandits and turmoil in the world."

He even suspected that if it weren't for the common coercion and deterrence of the sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that some people in the Taichang Dynasty would have been dissatisfied and rebelled.

Now in the transcendent world, talented Tianjiao emerges in endlessly, if there is really a rebellion, with the ability of Zhu Changluo and the Donglin Party, they will definitely be overthrown and killed.

"That's right, the Donglin Party is indeed a big tumor, but do you know the real reason why the Donglin Party is big?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhu Qiyuan thought about it, combined with Zhu Houzhao's previous tone, and quickly figured out the reason, and his tone was slightly heavier: "It's the emperor's unconditional trust." ”

"Clever."

Zhu Houzhao sneered: "The Donglin Party can sit big because of the emperor's unconditional trust. ”

"The Donglin Party was just a primary school club at the beginning, and it started by criticizing the government and fighting a war of words, and later hooked up with many wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, and it became a huge interest group."

"But this is nothing, the Donglin Party is really big, starting from supporting Zhu Changluo to take the position."

"After Zhu Changluo took office, he was grateful for the help of the Donglin Party and promoted the officials of the Donglin Party."

"By the time of Chongzhen, the Donglin Party was already the largest party in the court."

"From a primary school club that does not enter the stream, to influencing the pattern of the world, what does the Donglin Party rely on?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes showed a look of hope, if Zhu Qiyuan can see through this level, then his son is qualified.

"It's a style of words and deeds that are inconsistent with what is on the outside!"

Zhu Qiyuan is as good as a stream, and he broke the truth about the Donglin Party's big seat.

"That's it."

Zhu Houzhao smiled with satisfaction and said:

"On the surface, shouting honesty and honesty is used to fool the emperor, and in private it is to enrich its own pockets, and to pretend to be public and private, which is the consistent style of the Donglin Party."

"But it is not a common characteristic of most courtiers."

"Human nature is complex and ugly, and you have the ability to see through people's hearts, so don't trust a person easily, let alone believe in the so-called loyalty."

"A minister, he is loyal to you in words, and you can see his loyal side, but can you be sure that he is really loyal to you?"

"The Donglin Party's words and deeds are inconsistent, the country and the people are harmed, Wang Mang is humble, usurping the Han and self-reliant, how many bloody examples in ancient and modern times."

"Loyalty is just a standard for judging and employing people, don't take it as a golden rule."

said a thousand things and ten thousand, Zhu Houzhao's purpose has always been one, to teach Zhu Qiyuan, a stupid son, to be the emperor to remain suspicious, and never trust the loyalty of the minister.

If the minister is extremely loyal to the minister, the emperor should trust him unconditionally, which is just an extremely stupid kind.

The theory of human nature is only an introduction by which he derives how to view loyalty.

In order to better teach his stupid son, Zhu Houzhao did not hesitate to use himself as an example and mentioned two dead people he didn't want to mention: "Do you know Liu Jian, Xie Qian? ”

Liu Jian, Xie Qian, of course these two Zhu Qiyuan knew, and he knew how disgusted his father was with these two.

After a moment's hesitation, he nodded slightly.

Zhu Houzhao threw out a taboo topic: "Then you say, is Liu Jian Xie Qian loyal enough to me?" ”

Zhu Qiyuan was slightly stunned, not understanding why Zhu Houzhao asked this, and immediately frowned: "Is this still important?" ”

The loyalty of the two dead people is really not important at all, but Zhu Houzhao wants to use this to tell Zhu Qiyuan what to do as a qualified superior.

"You just have to tell me what you think."

Zhu Qiyuan was silent, he didn't know how to answer Zhu Houzhao, after all, he hadn't seen Liu Jian Xie Qian, and it was more hearsay, and it was difficult to give his own opinions.
