My brother is so stable

Wen Zhong sighed, "Arguing forcefully may lead to serious incidents."

"The big deal is that this position will not be guaranteed," Zi Shou stood up, "if this life is given to them, so why not!"

"Prince, prince," Li Changshou said hastily, "Don't get excited, follow the authority, don't be impatient.

The four points that the prince just said are to the point. They are indeed the current ills of the Shang country. These ills have been accumulated for a long time and have existed for an unknown time.

But if the prince, a future monarch who has the ability to support the great merchants, is easily defeated by those old and stubborn, that would be the misfortune of the great merchant nation.

Your ancestors are watching you from heaven! "

Zishou showed embarrassment, made a deep bow to the air, and sat down.

Li Changshou smiled and said: "Since this is the case, I will not hide it, and offer three strategies for the prince and the young master."

Wen Zhongxi said: "With your action, Dashang will be stable!"

Zishou also listened attentively.

In fact, he was a little dissatisfied with the young master's flattery of Dashi. Later, if Dashi spoke nonsense and said something that made him give up reforming political affairs, he turned around and left immediately.

But Li Changshou said slowly:

"The first strategy is to be stable.

Before the prince becomes the king, he needs to win the support of merchants, people and dignitaries inside and outside Chaoge City.

The prince must understand this truth, you are not the only heir of the king, if the king has to behead the prince due to the pressure from the upper and lower levels of the Shang country, there will still be an heir to the throne.

It is always the king, not the prince, who speaks and decides. "

Zishou couldn't help being silent.

Li Changshou said again:

"The second strategy is still stable.

There was a case of "Yi Yin's exile of the monarch" in the past, which is enough to be vigilant.

Kingship is not without constraints. The formation process of Shang kingship is centered on civil servants, military generals and powerful princes who rule the body. Government orders need to be executed, and the army needs to be led by generals, but the kingship is controlled by them.

This one is especially important. "

Zishou thought for a while and asked, "Can I ask Da Shi to explain it in detail?"

"Ask him specifically," Li Changshou pointed to Wen Zhong, "To put it simply, you must first win over ministers and generals, and let them be of one mind with you, and then push forward your changes step by step and in a subtle way.

Whether it is to weaken the princes or convert slaves to the people, it needs to be realized step by step. It is impossible to achieve results in three to five months, and it is somewhat reluctant in three to fifty years.

If you take a big step, it's easy to pull...the muscles on the inside of your legs! "

Zishou nodded slowly, quite touched by this.

Li Changshou continued: "Military power is the most important thing. At this time, the prince must cultivate a general in the army that he can absolutely trust, and have the absolute right to speak in Chaoge City.

This is the foundation of everything, and it is also the root cause of the princes' fear of Shang Jun. "

"Listening to Da Shi's words, I am suddenly enlightened!"

Zishou's eyes were full of emotion, and he toasted Li Changshou.

"Don't worry, it's not over yet."

Li Changshou responded with a drink with a chuckle, and said with a smile: "The third strategy is still stability.

This is the most important thing to aim at the major princes, to control the princes by the princes, to be gentle when you should be gentle, to wait for the opportunity, and to divide and transform them. "

Zishou thought carefully, his eyes gradually filled with light.

Wen Zhong asked again: "How to solve today's situation?"

Li Changshou smiled and said: "It's easy to say, and it can also be beneficial to Zishou."

"Shou, I would like to hear the details!"

"The prince should use the name of benevolence and righteousness, and never mention the matter of changing slaves to people, and don't reveal your inner ambitions. Even if you have said it before, when someone mentions it, you firmly deny it."

Li Changshou smiled and continued:

"The prince can say that the foundation of the great merchants and the founding of the country lies in the bloody battles of the ancestors of the merchants. How can the descendants of the defeated be worthy to sit and sit with the merchants?

Of course, this is just rhetoric.

Prince, you must learn to shape yourself, distinguish the relationship between interests, and stabilize your identity as an heir.

In this way, you have the opportunity to realize the ambition in your heart.

Specifically how to play it, you and the young master discuss it. "

Wen Zhong said: "But, Dashi, he did one thing before he took the throne, and another thing after he took the throne. Isn't it criticized by others?"

Li Changshou smiled and said, "Does Zishou care about infamy?"

"Hahaha!"

Zishou laughed a few times, and suddenly became proud!

"Shou was poisoned, murdered, fell into a well, suffered from house collapses since he was a child, and even suffered rumors, saying that my fate was strange.

Infamy, Fuyuner.

The country wants to reform, and the king should bear the burden! "

Li Changshou said sternly: "But the reputation must also be paid attention to, it will also affect the effect of government orders, and it will also be implemented.

In this way, this time, in the name of benevolence and righteousness, in the name of Wude.

Why did the prince kill those two generals?

It was because the prince disdained to kill unarmed people, and felt that the master Wang should not plunder, so he ordered them not to plunder civilians.

The two generals disobeyed the military order first and had to be executed.

To persecute the weak by cruel means is against martial ethics and tarnish the face of Shang Jun, so he needs to be punished.

After the incident came to light, they intended to instigate mutiny in the army to cover up their guilt, and they had to be killed immediately, otherwise the army would lose control and the consequences would be disastrous.

Only after the prince thought it over carefully did he kill the general in the army.
