Standing at the door, watching the ox cart go away, Su Ziji, accompanied by the wild Taoist, greeted and talked to the guests who did not leave.

On the surface, his attitude was calm and kind, as if he was not affected by the holy decree, but in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Savoring the words of the great eunuch Yu Han just now, Su Ziji sighed: "The emperor's trick is powerful, and he has forced out people who may potentially support me at once." ”

But even if you know the emperor's strategy, it is difficult to avoid it.

Just like the queen mother, who is nominally her own grandmother, she may not know the emperor's calculations, but she still has to send someone over to express her support.

Because you don't support it, others may misunderstand it - if Niangniang (Shangguan) doesn't support it, you may be misunderstood that Niangniang (Shangguan) doesn't like it, and if your subordinates don't support it, you may be misunderstood that your subordinates have different intentions.

Therefore, they all have to celebrate and support.

"Thinking about it this way, the emperor treats me like Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty with the attitude of the eighth elder brother. ”

"Kangxi used this trick against Eighth Brother back then, right?"

"Hold it up first, and then see who supports it. ”

Or canonize several princes at the same time, and observe which house the hundred officials go to celebrate. ”

This kind of method is indeed the emperor's mental trick, and you can know at a glance which prince has received more support and who the specific supporters are.

"But I'm still a little bit unfigured, obviously for the emperor, the biggest threat at the moment is the King of Qi, followed by the King of Shu, and then the King of Lu, the three kings are all here, want to balance them, use me as a chess piece, this is not strange, but directly let me be the commander of Yulinwei, I still can't figure it out. ”

Thinking like this, Su Ziji checked his experience.

"The way of government is fourteen, and it is almost fifteen. ”

As soon as each skill reaches level fifteen, he becomes a master, and the previous ones were like this, but I don't know if the "way of government" is the same.

"Now that there are so many guests, I may ask for advice, and as long as I have to answer a sentence or two for the sake of face, I can dig up some treasures, and at the same time discern the hearts of those who come to my house to congratulate me, so to speak. ”

"I guess when I get to level 15, I will have a deeper understanding of the current situation. ”

Su Ziji saw that Fang Zhen was walking towards him after talking to a few officials, and he planned to "cut out" from him.

"Congratulations to the acting prince, who has received the commander of Yu Linwei, this is the emperor's letter. As soon as he came over, Fang Zhen congratulated.

Su Ziji listened with a smile and looked at Fang Zhen.

Fang Zhen passed the New Year, he seemed to feel a year older, he had a beard, he was very bright when he spoke, and he seemed to be much more capable, Su Ziji smiled: "Congratulations, I'm still anxious and don't know what to do." ”

"I have never led a soldier, and the emperor gave me a heavy burden, and I was terrified. ”

"Little Marquis, you have been in charge of the army, and there are some things, I will ask you for advice. There was no one around the two, so Su Ziji asked directly: "How much does the little marquis know about Yu Linwei?"

Fang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and smiled, probably because he didn't expect Su Ziji to suddenly ask him this kind of question, but it was not good to refuse, so he could only say cautiously: "I don't know what kind of question Dai Guogong wants to ask?"

Then he said: "I won't tell you, I don't know much about Yu Linwei, and I'm afraid I can't help you anything." ”

"The little marquis is humble. Su Ziji said: "Compared with you, I don't know anything. After all, before that, I had only been to Beijing once or twice in terms of being an official, and I really didn't know anything about being a low-grade civil official or military attache in the local area. ”

"Especially this Yu Lin Wei, it belongs to the Beijing camp, this kind of thing, the little marquis who has been in Beijing for a long time, even if he has heard about it, he should have heard of it, you might as well tell me if it's true or not." ”

"Also, how to manage Yu Linwei, I really don't know where to start, and I ask the little marquis to give me advice. ”

What he said really made Fang Zhen cry out bitterly.

If you don't answer well, won't you immediately offend the acting prince?

Even if the acting prince is cooking oil now, but he has not fallen yet, and he is the emperor and grandson, how can he compare?

But answer well, isn't this the same as taking sides?

Since he knew that Dai Guogong was afraid of something strange about his appointment this time, how could he dare to stand in line at this time?

"Hey! I thought that this time I came here just to congratulate him, so many people came, and it was okay for me to come, but I didn't expect to be asked about military affairs by Dai Guogong, how can I satisfy Dai Guogong without attracting suspicion?"

With the kindness he showed to the Duke of Daiguo, if he didn't say anything, he would definitely not succeed.

"Dai Guogong, since this is the case, then I will talk about some of the situations of Yu Linwei, which I have heard about in the past, as for the management...... I'm not familiar with Yu Linwei, so I'll talk about it casually. ”

Fang Zhen said that it was "casually talking", and it was really "casually talking".

He told Su Ziji that the people in Yulin Weili were basically the sons of Xungui.

"In the noble family, the eldest son and eldest grandson will inherit the title, and they will not enter Yulinwei, but after all, there are only one or two who inherit the title, and the eldest son and youngest son have to fight for a future. ”

"According to the rules of the imperial court, most of them are exercised in the pro-army, and Yu Linwei is one of them. ”

"It's just a concubine, and I usually live with my tail between my legs, and I don't dare to offend you, but people like my second son are even more difficult to manage, and they are all pampered and loved at home. ”

"Most of them are arrogant and extravagant, one by one bold and reckless, there are many things in the capital that are committed by these sons and brothers, but because their ancestors have basically contributed to the society, and their fathers and brothers are also high-ranking officials, even if they know that they did it, it is not easy to deal with it. ”

"You have to be careful. ”

Fang Zhen also talked a few more about the methods of managing when he was in charge of the army, but because what Fang Zhen was in charge of was completely different from Yu Linwei's situation, he couldn't help Su Ziji if he said it.

Su Ziji sighed in his heart, although most of the content he told himself was for the wild Dao people to inquire and hear, but if there was no expectation, there would be no disappointment, Fang was really a sleek person, and Su Ziji did not expect to stand in line directly.

Although Fang Zhen said that it was a cliché, he didn't know why, he was still a little uneasy, as if he had leaked a lot of secrets hidden in his heart, he couldn't talk about it anymore, he stood up and said, "I've been here for a long time, I have to go back." ”

"Come back later. ”

Su Ziji stood up straight, thanked Fang Zhen, lowered his gaze, and saw half a piece of red sandalwood floating in his field of vision: "[The Way of Governance] +1300, level 14 (11100/14000)"

"This person intersects with me, I have always felt that this person is frank and hearty, I don't want to know today, this person is full of historical books, well versed in Taoguang's obscure art, saying that it is too much to say that there is a danger of mountains and rivers in the heart, and it is too much to say that there is a city in the chest, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a person with a heart. ”

"It's just that Fang Zhen has no way out. ”

Laymen always feel that they can do whatever they want if they have talent, but unfortunately, in officialdom, origin and faction are the most important things.

Fang Zhen is the hereditary marquis, and now the imperial court does not allow him to take charge of heavy troops, nor does he allow him to enter the cabinet, his ceiling is already doomed.
