After reaching a tacit understanding, the two looked at each other and smiled, like a pair of cunning foxes.

In fact, Xiao Changyi didn't have nothing to do with that Yu Ji, as an emperor, how could he be manipulated by his own courtiers?

On the contrary, he is very clear about the details of each courtier, if he can't even control these people under his hands, won't his own emperor be set up?

He knew very well that few of these courtiers under his command were really clean and honest, and most of them just relied on a good exam paper to eat the imperial food.

For them, being an official is just an errand with a good salary, and the bigger the official, the more oil and water can be made.

Don't look at the fact that every time the court wears official robes, there are five people and six people, among them, there are only a few people who really care about the world and worry about the country and the people, and most of them just do not seek merit, but seek no fault, and do this official in peace and silver.

But despite this, Xiao Changyi turns a blind eye to what they do many times, and only pretends not to know about some things.

As long as these courtiers have the ability to do things for themselves, then there is no need to take some things too seriously, if everything has to be taken into account, I am afraid that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty should be killed and exiled at least more than half.

To be an emperor, or to be a royal person, you must not have a spiritual cleanliness, you must be able to pretend to be dirty in your eyes and hearts, otherwise the people above the court will probably be killed, and the emperor will really become a lonely person.

There is no one under your hand to do things, even if you are a Ming Jun, what can you do?

Therefore, in the emperor's technique, pretending to be confused and less troublesome to find courtiers is also one of them.

Of course, this confusion is just pretending, but it can't be really confused!

The emperor must have a clear grasp of the details of his courtiers, and when necessary, he can take advantage of the shortcomings and handles of each courtier.

People often say that the companion is like a tiger, in fact, it does not only refer to the emperor's moodiness, life and death, which also includes the emperor's deep scheming, treacherous and changeable.

Courtiers often don't know when they will be seized by the emperor, and how uncomfortable it is to be caught by a person who can take everything away from them at any time, only they know.

The worst thing is that the emperor often does not take everything away from them immediately, but uses these tricks to pinch them at critical moments.

Let each of them tremble and be cautious in their official positions, lest one day they provoke the wrath of the emperor, and not only will they lose everything they once had, but they will also implicate their own family.

Therefore, in the court, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is actually very delicate, and the courtiers are speculating about the emperor's mind all the time, and the emperor will also pretend to be stupid and stunned appropriately, so as to confuse the courtiers.

Shrewd people naturally understand this truth, and they should be as cautious as possible in their daily life, and do not make mistakes.

Although he will also advise the emperor, most of the time he will still act according to the emperor's wishes, know how to grasp the scale between the monarch and the minister, know the depth, and know the advance and retreat.

And those who do not open their eyes and pretend to be clever often think that they can hide from the world, deceive, and even fool the emperor.

Although such a person may succeed for a while, it will not end well in the end.

They don't understand that what they do is not necessarily perfect, and the emperor does not necessarily know nothing.

It's just that sometimes the emperor pretends to be confused, because he wants to give them a chance to change, or they still have exploitable use value.

Or there is a wide range of involvement between officials at all levels in the court, which often affects the whole body, and the emperor does not want to shake the foundation of the entire court because of someone.

But that doesn't mean you're not being targeted, and if you go too far, the emperor will naturally find an opportunity to clean you up alone without involving others.

Just like Xiao Changyi wanted to expand the scale of naval warships in Yuzhou this time, Yu Ji actually thought that he was clever enough to obstruct it.

If it was really because of the lack of money in the treasury as he said, and he had to think about other aspects, Xiao Changyi would have seriously considered his suggestion.

But now it is clear that Yu Ji is making an obstacle for his own selfish interests, and Xiao Changyi is naturally extremely dissatisfied with him in his heart.

It's just that Xiao Changyi can't take out the benefits that other ministries and departments have given to Yu Ji, and if this kind of thing is really investigated, it won't be Yu Ji's problem alone, I don't know how many people will follow him to eat melons?

This is not the result that Xiao Changyi wants to see.

Officials at all levels in the DPRK and China have some problems to a greater or lesser extent, but if these problems had to be investigated, the prison would have been overcrowded long ago.

What Xiao Changyi wants to think about is to maintain the stability of the current situation, and he doesn't want to delve too deeply into those who have had some minor mistakes but are still useful to him.

It's as if the boss of the company knows that every employee has his own faults and shortcomings, but he will not fire all employees because of these small faults and shortcomings, after all, the normal operation of the company still depends on these people.

In the same way, Xiao Changyi didn't want to have even a few available people under his hands, so Xiao Changyi originally planned to use Yu Ji's son to make a fuss.

People in the entire Kyoto Daliang know that his son Yu Ming is the first of the four evils in Kyoto, and he has done countless things that lack morality.

As long as he pursues his son's crimes, he will not involve too many other people, and at the same time, he will be able to pinch Yu Ji fiercely.

But Xiao Changyi didn't expect that Shao Xi still had such a handle as Yu Ji in his hand, and supported the underworld forces in the local area to seek personal interests for himself.

And such crimes are often serious enough to be a deterrent than just the life of his son!

So Xiao Changyi was very satisfied with Shao Xi's suggestion, and it was really just like Shao Xi said, this time Shao Xi really shared his worries.

It's just that at the moment, Xiao Changyi just wants to force Yu Ji to comply, obediently transfer silver money to the Ministry of Industry, and he doesn't want to cut off his head for the time being, after all, he has presided over the household department for many years, and he has a lot of power and secrets in his hands.

The best way is to take away the power from his hands little by little, and deal with him by boiling a frog in warm water, otherwise it is very likely that he will react violently and expose some things that should not be made public.

So just knock him and let him know that he has a deadly handle in his hands, and there is no need to push him to a dead end all at once.

Shao Xi's suggestion to Xiao Changyi was to let him know that his affairs in Fengyang County had been mastered by Xiao Changyi, but he did not clearly express his desire to hold him accountable.

Just let him have a number in his heart, and in the future, he will be a man with his tail between his legs, and don't think about any discounts or clever tricks in Xiao Changyi's request, otherwise Xiao Changyi can take advantage of this matter at any time to take away everything from him, including the lives of his nine clans.

As long as he gets his fatal sore foot, he will obediently obey in the future and do his part with all his heart.

Don't make any big mistakes, and don't do any more crooked thoughts, Xiao Changyi can turn a blind eye and treat this matter as if it doesn't exist.

If one day you Yu Ji want to do something again, he will use this matter at any time to ask you about the crime of beheading.

At the beginning, Xiao Changyi didn't understand what Shao Xi meant for a while, but when Shao Xi looked at him with that strange look, he reacted immediately.

Although Shao Xi told him about Fengyang County, he didn't want him to use this matter to directly ask Yu Ji for the crime, but just used this matter to knock Yu Ji.

Everyone pretended to be confused, but their hearts were the same as Spiegel's, and then Yu Ji would naturally know what to do.

Xiao Changyi has not used this method less in the past, but he didn't expect Shao Xi to have such an arrangement in his heart from the beginning.

I have to say that Shao Xi had thought of this step for himself in advance, which made Xiao Changyi feel a little surprised, such a young person had already understood the emperor's art and planned for himself from his own point of view.

Such a dedicated and intelligent and capable person is the talent that Xiao Changyi appreciates the most and needs the most, if the younger generation is like Shao Xi to give full play to their talents for the Jingyuan Dynasty, then the future must be promising.

Xiao Changyi couldn't help but secretly praised Shao Xi in his heart, although he didn't have the talent of a unicorn, he had the ability to stabilize the country.

"I understand what you mean, then when Yu Ji comes to meet him, we will show him a play, and beat this old boy well, so that he can understand who is in charge in this Jingyuan Empire, if he doesn't let go of his cleverness, don't blame me for not showing him mercy."

Shao Xi bowed down and said: "Everything is in the control of the saint, I just made a small suggestion to the saint, as for how the saint will deal with this matter next, it is all up to the saint's will, and I will cooperate with the saint to perform this play."

"As for whether he Yu Ji can see the situation clearly, it depends on himself, he has been a household secretary for so many years, if he can't even understand such a thing, I think the person in charge of the household department should also consider changing people."

Shao Xi loses a lot!

From this moment on, Shao Xi planted a seed in Xiao Changyi's heart that the Hubu Shangshu should be replaced.

In the future, no matter how well Yu Ji does in the position of Hubu Shangshu, Xiao Changyi will always have the idea of changing people in his heart.

This is Shao Xi's guidance to Xiao Changyi from the subconscious, this kind of guidance is imperceptible, Shao Xi didn't say anything, but the meaning was all transmitted to Xiao Changyi's heart, so that Xiao Changyi unconsciously had such thoughts.

Shao Xi's move is also to pave the way in advance for cultivating his own power in the DPRK in the future.

At this moment, Gonggong Cao slowly walked into the imperial study and bowed down to Xiao Changyi and said, "Enlighten the saint, and Yu Ji, the head of the household, will meet you." ”

"Xuan."
