Chapter 74 On dealing with the relationship between monarchs and ministers, Tang He is definitely a master

"Boss, did you listen to what Mr. Lin said?"

"Not only the second child, but you are the same, although you have assisted us in dealing with some court politics and have some court experience, after all, you have not experienced it alone, and you are far from understanding the dangers of the court."

"Sometimes, it seems calm and peaceful, and there is a celebration of the court, maybe there is a murderous motive hidden in it."

"What Mr. Lin talked about today is also applicable to the way of being an official between the emperor and his courtiers."

"The way of being an official and the way of a monarch and a minister are actually the same truth."

"You are the prince, the future emperor, it is inevitable that everyone will please you, but you have to distinguish the good from the bad!"

"Once you are touted and can't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and lose your heart, it is not only you who will be harmed, but also a country and the people of the world!"

"Do you understand?"

In the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's teachings, the crown prince Zhu Biao looked awe-inspiring:

"Erchen understands! Thank you for your father's teachings! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes showed a touch of relief, and he got up from the chair:

"We should learn from Mr. Lin how to teach and educate people..."

"In the same way, the taste that comes out of Mr. Lin's mouth is different from that that of ours!"

"In the past, we taught you a few princes, and when we didn't understand, we knew that we would whip you with a jade belt and beat you with a ring ruler, but you didn't understand or didn't understand, you were beaten, and you complained about us in your heart, and we were so angry that we were thankless."

"When Mr. Lin comes out, I must learn from Mr. Lin in person!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he quickly stood up and said:

"My father has a lot of opportunities, he works hard all day long, and he has done well enough, but he is stupid for his sons!"

"Erchen thinks that his father shouldn't blame himself, and he can only blame Erchen, as the son of the Zhu family and the prince of the Ming Dynasty, for not being able to share some of the burden for his father..."

Without waiting for Zhu Biao to finish speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand at the prince:

"Boss, you don't have to pick up nice things to tell me!"

"It's that we don't do well, it's that we don't do well, I should review!"

"You are the crown prince, and now your main task is to study, learn how to govern the country, learn how to recognize and employ people, and learn how to distinguish between truth and falsehood..."

"In short, there is still a lot to learn, and fortunately, Mr. Lin can help you in the future."

"This is your luck, and it's also our Daming's luck!"

……

Listening to Lin Che's sharp comments on himself, Zhu Zhangzhen's face was flushed, and there was no hole in the room.

After a long time, he was embarrassed and said:

"Mr. Lin... You don't say any more... It's good to save some face for us..."

"Let's admit that I used to be a little shallow, but no one taught me! Now that we have your teachings, we will definitely pay attention to them in the future and never do it again! ”

"It's best if you can get rid of the bad habits of the past, otherwise you will be the one who will suffer in the future!"

Lin Che didn't embarrass Zhu Fan anymore, and continued to speak:

"I gave an example just now to give you the most intuitive understanding of the way of an official."

"But in practice, it is still necessary to analyze specific problems on a case-by-case basis, and there is no opportunistic formula to set here."

Lin Che took a sip of tea, held the teacup and said solemnly:

"Pretending to be stupid and selling flaws, to put it bluntly, is to keep a low profile, even if you have great credit, you must be cautious."

"In this regard, Tang He of this dynasty is definitely a master, your father and Tang He are both nobles who assist the emperor, presumably your two families also have dealings."

"Do you know how Tang He dealt with the delicate relationship between monarchs and ministers when he faced Emperor Hongwu?"

Hearing this, Zhu Fan smiled bitterly.

His father is Emperor Hongwu, how do he and Tang and Uncle get along, where do I know.

Although he had also seen Tang and his uncle come to talk to his father about things, he didn't think that Tang He was any different from other courtiers!

Seeing Zhu Fan looking at himself blankly, and he didn't say anything for a long time, Lin Che knocked on the table and said:

"What do you think I'm doing?"

"I don't have an answer on my face!"

Hearing this, Zhu Fan quickly withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to think.

The other side.

Prince Zhu Biao took advantage of Zhu Zhang's thinking opportunity, and also stopped his pen and shook his sour arm.

At the same time, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the side, with some expectations in his eyes.

Regarding this question, with his understanding of Tang He, he can really say one, two, three.

I saw Zhu Yuanzhang leisurely sipping tea, without the slightest intention of asking questions.

This made Zhu Biao a little depressed.

There was a long silence.

Zhu Zhang, who was separated by a wall, finally spoke:

"Mr. Lin, I pondered it carefully and found that Tang Houye is indeed not simple..."

"Tang Houye is the hair of Emperor Hongwu, the two grew up with bare buttocks, when Emperor Hongwu participated in the Red Turban Army, Tang Houye was already a thousand households, but he did not put on the slightest stand in front of Emperor Hongwu, and even lowered his status, facing Emperor Hongwu respectfully, as if the two had changed their identities."

"Later, when Emperor Hongwu left Haozhou and started his own business, Marquis Tang was also the first to support and became one of the twenty-four generals of Emperor Hongwu."

"Since then, Marquis Tang has followed Emperor Hongwu, just by virtue of the relationship between the two of them, as well as his military exploits, when he was crowned with a knighthood, he only had one marquis, which is really unreasonable."

"It is rumored that Marquis Tang drank and misbehaved, which provoked the dissatisfaction of Emperor Hongwu, lowered his quality, and snubbed him."

"After the Ming Dynasty was established, Marquis Tang suddenly became greedy for money and lustful, and he also defiled himself on various occasions..."

"It turns out that in order to dispel Emperor Hongwu's jealousy, Marquis Tang pretended to be stupid and filthy to prove that he had no disobedience and behaved with his tail between his legs..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Fan slapped his thigh and suddenly realized:

"That's exactly what the gentleman said!"

"Greedy for money, raising concubines, these little problems about private morality are nothing to the emperor at all."

"But it made the emperor dispel his vigilance against him from then on."

"Master Tang is really a good method!"

The words fell.

Lin Che here, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang next door, all showed a relieved smile.

"Yes, exactly!"

"Tang He often asked Emperor Hongwu for rewards, but he avoided the complicated partisan struggles in the court."

"With Emperor Hongwu's hatred of corruption, but he satisfied Tang He's requirements one by one, not only was he not angry, but he was very happy."

"That's what really smart people are!"

"He not only made himself comfortable by doing this, but also dispelled the emperor's vigilance, the emperor was satisfied, and his colleagues had nothing to say except pointing."

"This is the best way to protect yourself in the turbulent court, isn't it interesting."

Hearing this, Zhu Fan felt mixed feelings.

This court battle was completely different from the education he received since childhood.

Whether it is the queen mother or the great Confucians in the university hall, teach him to be honest and not to play with intrigues.

But what Lin Che said completely subverted this point of view.

If you don't even play with some means, you won't be able to gain a foothold in the court, and you will be even more worried about your life.

Zhu Fan got up suddenly, took a deep look, and said with emotion:

"Student understood!"

"Mr. Xie points out the maze!"
