Rebirth: The little puppet emperor, tearing apart the regent with his own hands

Zhong Chan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's feasible, but it will take a long time."

Su Qing said: "At this moment, Beijing has laid a dragnet against me. If I return to Beijing rashly, I'm afraid there will be big trouble.

I think Zuo Zuo can't return to the capital now, so it's better to listen to Yu Wenwen. Although I'm in the same boat as him, I can't deny his ability.

What he proposed was to press into the capital bit by bit from the border, to remove their external forces bit by bit, and to slowly weaken their power. This was indeed a very effective method. "

Zhong Chan also nodded and said: "If the situation in Beijing is indeed as His Majesty said, then this is indeed the most effective method..."

Su Qing was determined when he heard that even General Zhong Chan agreed with Yu Wenzhang's method.

But then he thought of another thing, and suddenly showed a wry smile.

General Zhong Chan noticed it, so he asked with some confusion: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Su Qing smiled bitterly and said: "I thought of something fatal..."

General Zhong Chan looked stern, and then said: "Your Majesty, please speak."

Su Qing said: "As the forces of several major families get closer to Kyoto, their power will become stronger, and their ability to resist will naturally become stronger.

I have a feeling that this trip will not go smoothly. I am afraid that we will have to go through a lot of hardships and pay a huge price to have a chance of success.

This process must have been a huge internal friction process for the Western Wei Dynasty. If the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Nanliang were aware of it..."

General Zhong Chan said: "You don't have to worry about this, Your Majesty.

After all, what they have to face are the defenders of the four borders in the southeast, northwest, and no matter how chaotic the Western Wei Dynasty is internally, as long as the border is not chaotic, they will not dare to move. "

After hearing what General Zhong Chan said, Su Qing's mood still did not improve. He said: "But General, even if we assume the good direction, even if there is no threat from the Eastern Wei and Nanliang, even if we can defeat the power of several major families, Successfully removed one by one...

But, what about after the removal? "

"I don't have anyone available at all. The corruption in the Western Wei Dynasty is now controlled by several major families.

Not to mention those who are willing to follow me, even if they are neutral people, it is difficult to find one or two.

If I really remove all their influence, I'm afraid the officialdom of the Western Wei Dynasty will be completely wiped out!

I can't be a mere commander. Someone has to work for me, so I can't do everything.

But if I don't take full action, the final result will be that this wave of aristocratic family forces will continue to be replaced, and the next wave of aristocratic family forces will be replaced.

All the hard work is simply in vain.

It would be fine if the people who come up are Li Hu, Li Bi and the others, but if Yu Wenwen is allowed to sneak in people at every opportunity, then I might as well not move..."

General Zhong Chan didn't speak for a long time. He knew that what His Majesty said were extremely serious matters.

But this is not his area of ​​expertise. He is good at fighting, and he has never been afraid even if he faced ten times the enemy.

But when it comes to officialdom, he is really powerless and unable to help.

He knew that the fighting behind the scenes in the officialdom was no less intense than the fighting on the battlefield, otherwise he would not have resigned from his official position and gone home to retire, and Jiao Huai and the others would not have given up on their great future and followed him in despair. The bad old man leaves.

Thinking of this, General Zhong Chan looked a little sad. He cupped his fists apologetically and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my incompetence. I am really powerless..."

Su Qing quickly supported General Zhong's arm, held his hand and said, "General Zhong, you don't have to blame yourself. I can just think of my own ideas. General Zhong has already sent five generals to me. They are already helping me." Very busy..."

Although General Zhong Chan resigned and returned home before, as one of the first generals to follow the late emperor to conquer the world, his prestige in the army is not small.

As I said before, if General Zhong hadn't declined on his own, then there would have been a place for him in the Eight Pillar Countries, and General Zhong Chan's influence would be no less than that of a noble family.

Although it is not obvious now, as long as General Zhong Chan raises his arms, he will definitely have many followers. After all, even Yu Wenzhang had stayed under his account for some time.

Therefore, even if Old General Zhong Chan faced Yu Wenzhang, he couldn't say that he was evenly matched, but he didn't have much fear.

If others see General Zhong Chan's men following him, it means that General Zhong Chan is on his side. If others want to bully him again, they may have to think carefully.

Su Qing thought of those court dramas and conspiracy dramas she watched in modern times. The dramas said: The emperor's mind can be divided into the following four types:

One is the art of self-esteem,

The second is to establish power,

The third is the art of giving grace,

The fourth is the art of balance.

Among the above four imperial arts, balance is the most important.

The art of self-esteem means that you respect yourself. No matter what others think, you must first put yourself in the highest position, distinguish yourself from ordinary people, and make yourself superior.

Therefore, the ancient emperors called themselves "I", "I", "I", "I", etc. They spoke with golden words, and they also had to sit on a high platform for everyone to look up to.

He even compares himself to the True Dragon Emperor, in order to separate himself from ordinary people and create the impression that he is a unique and irreplaceable existence.

The art of establishing power is a means of suppressing the establishment of power. The ancient emperors and teachers all advised the emperors to implement "benevolent government", but the emperors themselves knew very well that they could not govern the world well just by implementing "benevolent government".

Only by suppressing those who offended the imperial power and establishing authority, others would not dare to think of rebellion and would not dare to deceive superiors and subordinates.

Charity is a trick to win over people's hearts. If an emperor wants to control his subjects, he cannot just resort to violence. Under pressure, some people will inevitably take risks and rebel.

Giving both kindness and power is the right way to go. Hitting someone with a stick and giving a sweet date is a routine that has been around since ancient times.

A qualified emperor must make the civil servants, military commanders and the people of the world feel that everything they can get is given by the emperor.

If the ministers can grant wives and children, that is the emperor's enfeoffment. If the common people can live and work in peace and contentment, that is the emperor's reward.

Without the emperor, there will be no peace in the world. With the emperor, the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment.

Even if the emperor wants to kill you, it is still a gift to you. You must kneel down and kowtow to the emperor gratefully.

Therefore, things like Taishan Fengchan are not useless feudal dross.

It's not that the ancient emperors had brain bubbles and had to run so far and risk being assassinated to do something meaningless. On the contrary, it is a very effective means of controlling one's subordinates.

Finally, there is the art of balancing, which is a ruling technique that ancient emperors must master.
