After a pause, Lin Che continued:

"Your father is also a generation of ministers who assist Emperor Hongwu today, born and died on the battlefield, what big battles have you never seen, and can you still be pinched by a kid who doesn't have any hair?"

"You may not understand what I say, but the truth in the world is figured out, you can think about it again from a different angle, not to mention suddenly enlightened, at least you can understand some meaning."

"You're here to figure it out, am I right?"

"But don't get into the nitty-gritty!"

The words fell.

For a moment, there was silence in the house.

Lin Che's words were not shy about what he said, which made Zhu Fan feel embarrassed.

I saw that his face was disappointed, his brows were furrowed, and he was extremely depressed.

I looked down and thought for a moment.

Zhu Fan raised his head and asked:

"Mr. Lin, how did those ministers in history persuade the emperor to change his mind?"

"I think my father's advice to his own children is either beating or scolding."

"If the emperor doesn't listen to the advice, won't those ministers even save their lives?"

"Isn't it, this is also going to divide people?"

Faced with Zhu Fan's repeated questions, Lin Che thought for a moment and replied:

"You're right!."

"This must be divided into people, such as today's Hongwu Emperor, who came from a humble background, worked as a monk, became a beggar, wandered, and starved, but this also caused him to be extremely good at learning, and he also loves to learn, and likes to use his brain."

"Such an emperor is more likely to accept opinions with an open mind."

"In addition to Emperor Hongwu, the emperors of other dynasties, few of them are too poorly born, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty who is closer to Emperor Hongwu, is also a pavilion chief, and he is also an official."

"An emperor like Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who is humble and acceptable, and the emperor for thousands of years, can be counted on one finger."

"These emperors are well-dressed and have a very high spirit, so it's not surprising that they can't hear advice."

Lin Che picked up the slightly cold tea and took a sip:

"Persuading people, in the final analysis, is also a science, it's not that people will listen to you what you say, not to mention that what you say may not be right, or he doesn't care about it at all."

"There's a lot of knowledge in this!"

"To be honest, I'm not sure I'll teach you these things, but it's okay to change to your brother."

Hearing Lin Che's words, Zhu Fan looked helpless and hung his head in embarrassment.

Half a day later, I looked up unwillingly and said:

"Mr. Lin!"

"We know we're stupid, but we can teach me some so I can use some in the future."

"Just tell me casually, how much can we learn, look at our ability, you see that we were all kicked out of the house by our father, this is also a disaster, sir, you can bear it, let the students suffer at home in the society in the future?"

Hearing this, Lin Che put down the teacup and said without thinking:

"What's so unbearable?"

"If you don't bother me in the future, you will be done!"

Seeing Zhu Fan drooping his head and sullen, Lin Che couldn't help laughing:

"Okay, don't pretend to be wronged in front of me!"

"It's just right, I'm idle now, I'll talk to you casually."

"But I warn you, don't talk nonsense, don't interrupt!"

"Whoever is grunting in front of me, I will kick you out like your father..."

"Understood?"

Hear the words.

Zhu Fan suddenly perked up, nodded busily, where did he dare to say half a word.

Lin Che agreed to talk to him, in fact, he wanted to teach him knowledge.

Zhu Fan's heart blossomed.

"In fact, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the method of persuading people has been popular."

"Although it has been 2,000 years ago, there were many more methods and routines at that time than now, and now the methods of the past have been simplified."

Lin Che picked up the teacup, looked at Zhu Fan and said:

"You still don't read much. If you read more books, especially history books, you will find that things like those that happened to you are not a matter at all, and you can't still come to me to complain! ”

"Have you heard of the Zongheng family in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?"

Facing Lin Che's question, Zhu Fan suddenly became nervous.

In the university hall, those great Confucians talked about the hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Among them is the Zongheng family.

It's just that I didn't like to study at that time, and I knew that the most famous of the Zongheng family was Guiguzi, who was the master of the art of war, the originator of the Zongheng family, proficient in hundreds of schools, and called himself Mr. Guigu because he lived in seclusion in the mountains and deep valleys.

Zonghengjia is the most mysterious school among the hundred schools of thought, in addition to Guiguzi, there are also many famous strategists.

Su Qin and Zhang Yi are among the representatives.

As for the knowledge taught to him by other great Confucians, they were all returned.

Seeing that Zhu Fan was embarrassed in the face of this question, Lin Che did not embarrass him, and continued:

"To put it bluntly, when the later generations of ministers faced the emperor, what they used was nothing more than the 'mind control method' of the Zongheng family."

Zhu Fan heard the word 'mind control method', and he was a little tongue-smacking:

"Spiritual... Control? ”

"Sir, this man's spirit can also be controlled?"

"You're talking about that, aren't you?"

"How can this man's mind be controlled?"

Seeing that Zhu Fan almost dropped his jaw in surprise, Lin Che didn't care at all:

"Of course!"

"Don't underestimate the great wisdom of the Chinese sages!"

"We, the descendants, are just standing on the shoulders of the sages and continuing the unfinished work of the sages..."

"Whether it is the scheming or strategy in the current officialdom and court, it is just the remaining routine played by the sages!"

Boom!

Zhu Fan listened intently, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Lin Che's lecture.

So much so that the sound of swallowing saliva is exceptionally loud in a quiet room.

Lin Che didn't say anything when he heard this, and continued:

"In the history books, the Zongheng family is summarized as a sect of the hundred schools of thought."

"In fact, the scale of the Zongheng family is far less than that of other sects such as Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism, but the Zongheng family is the most suitable strategy for the emperor and generals, and it reached its peak during the Warring States Period."

"There are Su Qin and Zhang Yi who are vertical and horizontal."

"Hezong is to unite weak countries and resist strong countries together, and his representative figure is Su Qin. During the Warring States period, he traveled around the six countries to lobby the six kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Zhao, Yan, Han, and Wei to fight against the powerful Qin state. ”

"Lianheng is a country with relatively strong connections to attack weak countries, and the main representative is Zhang Yi."

"At that time, the Qin State was facing the siege of the Six Nations, and the situation was critical, and Zhang Yi, the Minister of the Qin State, took the initiative to ask for help, sent envoys to Qi, Chu and other countries, pursued advantages and avoided disadvantages, and lobbied to disintegrate the Six Kingdoms."

"Saved the precarious state of Qin."

Speaking of this, Lin Che twisted his somewhat stiff neck, and was suddenly seen by Zhu Fan, quickly stood up, came behind him, and kneaded it hard.

Lin Che was satisfied with Zhu Fan's eyesight and continued:

"If it is said that the combination of weak countries against the strong is the best way to disintegrate the unity and column."

"Let the enemy disintegrate from within."
