I am the king of the dead

"The great emperor is young, and he has offense written all over his face, and his whole body is full of expansion and expansion. I heard that he was in the east recently, and he swallowed Ryukyu again."

"The Great Emperor has been promoting martial arts all these years. What test does Zhenwu use? Naturally, it is to conquer the city, not to mention defeating it, but if we can win it, won't King Hami still be unlucky once we leave?"

First of all, these remarks are based on the actual situation. Da Ming can lose [-] times, while Wala can only lose once when facing Da Ming, because if he loses once, Da Ming will break his back, and then he will be eaten by wolves, tigers and leopards on the grassland. It's spotless.

Also, since the battle of the capital, they have been avoiding battles. Whether it is Jining or Hetao, they have no intention of sticking to it. Fighting there is too close to Daming, and there is no possibility of victory.

He also can't afford to lose.

"Great stone hero's martial arts strategy is really admirable." Wang Fu flattered him, and he had many, many shortcomings, but this person had a very accurate understanding of his own strength, which made Wang Fu very satisfaction.

Also first said with a face of embarrassment: "Then what should I do?"

"King Hami called my uncle. He asked me for help. Can I not save him? But if not, what should I do? This is really a headache."

King Hami's mother was Yexian's older sister, and Yexian was considered the uncle of King Hami Waisikhan.

He also didn't want to be Xiangdong at first, he just wanted to be a Khan now, Xiangdong was a dead ghost, he couldn't be a Khan.

Dajun also doesn't want to go east, and fight against Ming Dynasty, how can it be interesting to bully the idiots of the Western Regions?

When we arrived in the Western Regions, it was like coming home.

Although the army in the Western Regions has artillery, firearms, and hand cannons, compared with the power of Daming's current firearms, the firearms in the Western Regions are like setting off fireworks...

The army has no military discipline at all, and fighting is no different from fighting in groups.

Wang Fu thought for a while and said, "At the very beginning, we said that nothing will happen, because the emperor is only investigating the Seven Guards of Kansai to ensure the smooth business of the caravan."

"Then we said maybe something could happen, but we were limited by Ottomans and Timurs watching us and we couldn't provide effective support."

"When something really happened, we told Waisihan that maybe we should act, but we really can't do anything."

"Wait until the end to express our regrets and what should have been done in the first place, but it is really too late now."

Wang Fu gave a standard answer to this kind of incident, which is the delay method.

This is a very common saying, or it is an inevitable law of the development of things, because there is no strength to support Hami.

First of all, if there are 50 troops, why are they still doing in Samarkand?

He had already punched Ottoman, kicked Timur, sat in Constantinople, and threatened the Thai and Western countries to surrender.

Ye Xian obviously doesn't know the knack of procrastination.

He widened his eyes, looked at Wang Fu, adjusted his sitting posture and said, "Very good, very good, let's do this."

"But won't there be any problems? I'm not worried about Waisihan, he's not very capable. I mean, if we're next to Daming, will there be any problems?"

"To be more precise, will you be beaten?"

Wang Fu thought about it seriously and said: "It's very difficult. To cross the Tianshan Mountains and Congling Mountains, you need to walk through the desert and the mountains. It is an extremely tortuous and long supply line."

"If the great emperor really did that, it's really so stupid, why did Dashi go west? Isn't it good to go directly to Beijing to be the emperor? How about going all the way to Batu to become a Khan?"

Also nodded deeply.

The westward advance of the Oirats is almost equivalent to completely abandoning the east. It is a relocation, but the capital of Ming Dynasty is [-] miles away from Samarkand.

If the capital of the Ming Dynasty was in Xi'an, this kind of thing could still happen, but the capital of the Ming Dynasty was at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. The emperor would not make such a stupid decision.

Supplies are too much trouble.

He also let go of the worries in his heart, yawned heavily and said: "Okay, my dear brother, I stayed up all night last night, and I was a little sleepy. Let's end today's discussion."

"Yes." Wang Fu was helpless, there were only two issues, and he didn't want to discuss politics yet.

For Yexian, the word administration is too complicated.

Also, he is a bit older, he went to Tianshan to hunt to prove that he can still move, and he is still a long-lived eagle in the world.

Almost everyone has seen that this eagle has shed its hair since the death of its younger brother Polo in the battle of the capital.

Wang Fu walked out of the Lan Palace, checked the defenses of the Lan Palace again, told the cowardly Xue army to prevent Ottoman assassins, and then left.

In the afternoon, Wang Fu got the rusty copper ball, although someone suggested cleaning the patina on it, at least to restore its original red color instead of copper green.

But Wang Fu did not agree with this point of view, but instead sent the copper ball to the caravan intact, and sent it to Daming.

Antiques and keepsakes all need this layer of patina, otherwise the Great Emperor would have thought that he, Wang Fu, bought a piece of junk from somewhere to present to the Emperor.

The copper ball and the property in the name of Suiyecheng University went to Jiayuguan along the Tianshan Ancient Road.

The departure time of this shipment was the first snowfall, and the arrival time at Daming Capital was around Tianming Festival.

Tianming Festival was changed from Wanshou Festival to Tianming Festival because His Majesty compromised after Wanshou Festival.

The Emperor of Ming knew that he could not last forever, and that long live was just a distant dream, but how could the emperor of Ming not expect that the sun and the moon would shine forever?

This is also the desire of all peoples.

Li Binyan has been staying in the capital for a long time, and will not leave for Songjiang City Shipping Department until after Tianming Festival.

At this time, Li Binyan was studying dog fighting in Hu's house.

Liu Ji, a concubine of the Ministry of Rites, also returned to Beijing from the south to report on his duties. At this time, Liu Ji was also in Hu's house.

Almost everyone knew that Liu Ji would be another Hu Mei.

Hu Yan said with a smile: "To turn a good person into a bad person, there are three steps in total."

"The first step is to praise him, to boast of him, to exaggerate his incompetence, and to praise him so much that he doesn't even know how to do it."

This is a way Chen Yi slipped his words when he was drunk. The sinister intentions of this kind of praise can be seen.

But this is only the first step for Hu Wei.

"In the second step, we need to excuse his shortcomings and blatantly mock his shortcomings. In this way, almost everyone will know what his shortcomings are, and he will gradually be hated by others."

"The third step is to defeat him. At this time, he is in trouble both internally and externally, so he has nothing to worry about."

Hu Wei talked about the steps of dog fighting, the specific method of turning a good person into a bad person, and turning a good thing into a bad thing.

Exaggerating his strengths to the point of being annoying, exposing his weaknesses to the point that everyone knows them, and when he was in trouble at home and abroad, he punched so hard that he was powerless to fight back.

Li Binyan was amazed, it turned out to be this way, he really opened his eyes today.

Hu Wei thought for a while and said, "The second step, that is, when we excuse this good man's shortcomings, we should have the feeling of mentioning it in passing."

"Let me give you an example. Hu Shangshu has been working hard for more than [-] years, and the etiquette department is orderly. It's just a little flattering. As for keeping an eye on it?"

"It's like this feeling."

Li Binyan became stunned, by the way!

It may seem insignificant, but it is actually the point!

Liu Ji said suspiciously: "But teacher, there is something wrong with it."

"If he praises the sky, he does nothing wrong. For example, His Majesty is more cautious than his ministers. Any decision is made after repeated consideration and consideration. The praise of officials is often ordered by His Majesty."

"What if this person has no flaws?"

"For example, Yu Shaobao, he is outspoken and upright, which may be a shortcoming, but His Majesty doesn't suspect him, how can he make him troubled internally and externally? Who can make Yu Shaobao difficult internally and externally?"

"So, that should be step four."

Hu Wei was taken aback for a moment, took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Tell me in detail what you think."

"The third step should be to create something out of nothing."

"For example, if this good man lost his wife but had no heir, we would say that he has the habit of cutting off his sleeves, like Li Sui who beat the Dengwen drum. His old man married after he left Sichuan, we can say that he is Because Li Sui actually had good intentions, this old man couldn't bear the humiliation, so he found someone else."

"I have a good heart, but I don't say it clearly, and it's ambiguous. It's the feeling that Hu Shangshu mentioned in passing."

"Creating something out of nothing, let's take Yu Shaobao as an example. We bought a woman from a brothel. We said that there were six granddaughters in Yu Shaobao's family, and no male was heir to the throne. So Yu Shaobao raised a girl in a brothel, and then let the city The rumors of those three aunts and six wives are everywhere."

"If Yu Shaobao can't do it, then it's not impossible to pour dirty water on Yu Shaobao's son Yu Mian."

"The fourth step is to use rumors to force Yu Shaobao to make a statement. Even if the goal of getting Yu Shaobao to become an official cannot be achieved, it can keep him away from the center of power and become a prince who doesn't care about things."

"In this way, the purpose is achieved."

"What are you looking at me for...? Did I say something wrong?"

Hu Mu and Li Binyan stared at Liu Ji with wide eyes. Compared with Hu Mu's lack of virtue, Liu Ji was shameless.

Hu Wei said with a lot of emotion: "It's nothing, you should be in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and you should have a lot to talk to Qingliu and his gang."

Chapter 528 If the water is wide, the fish will be big, and if the king is bright, the ministers will be loyal

Hu Wei is a moralist, he guards the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, he is very disgusted with the behavior of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to pour dirty water on people.

Without him, the means are inferior.

Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Wen of the Ming Dynasty have one point that has been criticized by scholars, scholars, and Fengxian officials. They are two wise and powerful emperors who hold secret agents such as Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

They said that this kind of behavior was blocking the channel of remonstrance, but the reality is that there were still Dengwen drums to beat during the Hongwu period.

During the Zhengtong and Jingtai years, Li Sui was the only one who, at the risk of a great relationship, went to beat the drum that hadn't been played in 50 years.

They scold Taizu Taizong for engaging in spy politics, but they themselves are using this method of wearing high hats, splashing dirty water, and wearing small shoes to block the way of speech.

No one can understand everything, this world, after all, is the world of the people of the world, and the people of the world need to fight for it.

Hu Yan said with a smile: "So, Your Majesty said that only the ship of the country leaks from the top."

"I've been talking about Confucius's etiquette all day long, talking about things in the world, but I took the lead in turning this etiquette into a pile of stinky shit that no one cares about and no one believes in, making this world a mess. Then put the crime away from the world."

"The world has provoked him and provoked him, and he bears such infamy?"

"Looking at extravagance, competing for extravagance, liking leisure and loathing work, eating too much and being lazy, didn't these unhealthy tendencies arise from among the scholars and then spread?"

Hu Wei's words caused Liu Ji and Li Binyan to fall into a long silence.

Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, and Legalism have built an utopia and dreamed of a world of great harmony. For the non-existent world of great harmony, they have established a set of effective logic.

But this kind of order, this kind of value and the consensus of the common desires of all peoples established with great difficulty, isn't it just like this, being destroyed step by step?

From the beggar who walked three thousand miles in Huangjue Temple in three years to the Daming who sang the red scarf song and regained the great rivers and mountains, all the rituals and laws that were constructed at the beginning of the founding of Daming, formed All the consensus, that buried in everyone's heart, is Daming's world.

Being bitten and gnawed by moths bit by bit, and completely stolen.

And it is from the top down that is spearheading the disruption.

What Hu Wei guarded was Daming's etiquette.

Liu Ji asked with some anxiety: "Teacher, what you mean is that doing so will cause endless harm and should be avoided as much as possible, right?"

Hu Yan looked at Liu Ji and said with a smile, "No, that's not what I meant."

"You must use an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Once someone puts a hat on you and splashes dirty water on you, you must use thunderous means to defeat him."

"Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?"

"So, if someone bites you, as long as you don't die, you have to kill him directly in turn. This is the way to be a minister."

Liu Ji, I'm numb.

He thought that Hu Min wanted to admonish him, tell him the danger of doing so, and warn him not to do so.

But Hu Wei did the opposite, encouraging him to fight back with more violent means once he was attacked.

Isn't this breaking the etiquette?

Hu Wei explained: "We are talking about these here, don't we just want to know these methods and take precautions?"

"You have to protect the etiquette of Ming Dynasty. This is the duty of the Ministry of Rites. If you are gone, what will you do to protect it? Leave it to the later generations? How do you know that the later generations will be able to maintain it?"

"It is King Jili's behavior to leave things and the mess to future generations."

"In front of everyone and Xiaojia, you choose everyone. Between public morality and private morality, you choose public morality. Between interests and conscience, you choose conscience."

"Even if there is no virtue, it is also great virtue."

Hu Wei was disgusted, but he did not object to these dirty methods. He would say these dirty things in front of His Majesty, and even go into battle in person to demonstrate the highest state of dog fighting for His Majesty.

He was ridiculed as having no virtue, and no virtue equals invincibility.

Liu Ji finally understood what Hu Wei wanted to express, which was whether to use the method, when to use it, and how to use it.

A gentleman can be deceived by the right way, but it is difficult to ignore the wrong way.

Li Binyan took a sip of tea, recalled all the things in the Nan Yamen, pondered for a moment and said, "It's difficult."

"It's easy to be in the same boat, but it's hard to combine knowledge and action."
