Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

Jiang Yuan listened to the question and replied: "Let's talk about foreign enemies first. Because the northern barbarians threaten the world, the prince and the five princes must not be called emperors. The prince admires the enemy country. If the prince ascends the throne, wouldn't he dedicate the country to the enemy? If he is the emperor, I am afraid that all the people in the world will have to wear their left coats, and there will be no more Huaxia. This is not the death of the Jing Dynasty, but the death of the world, destroying my thousand-year civilization, and my foundation for eternity! Chasing bandits, if he ascends the throne, once the swords and soldiers are everywhere, the people of Huaxia will be like sheep with two feet, ready to be slaughtered."

"Let's talk about internal troubles. Although there are good people in the noble family, it's just a drop in the bucket. If the eldest prince and the fourth prince are enthroned, the nobles of the family will surely be famous for a while. How can I reward you for the merits of the dragon? Bi high-ranking officials and generous salary! When there are high-ranking officials and rich salaries, they will endanger the place and disturb the law. If you have power, where in the world is a pure land?"

Situ Sheng nodded, "As expected."

Since these few people can't do it, then we have to come up with a reason why Situ Sheng must be able to do it, that is, come up with a ruling idea for him, and use this idea to fool talented people.Don't say it doesn't work. Back then, the slogan "open the city gates to welcome King Chuang, and he won't pay when King Chuang comes" fooled how many ordinary people accompanied Li Chuang to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

"If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside. Your Highness, as long as you do three things, the world will belong to you, and all the sages will come." Jiang Yuan decided to take out the greatest weapon in ancient times. Seeing Situ Cheng listening attentively, the young man said: "Your Highness, you must know, the king , the boat, the people, the water, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat. The swallow loses its deer, the world chases it together, and the heroes rise together. Swallow’s torture, light corvée and low taxation to secure the people. It is because of the way to get more help, more help, the world obeys, the people heard that Gao Zu is coming, and they rushed to open the city to welcome, this is the unified world. Since ancient times, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, The first prince gets his honor, the crown prince gets his legitimacy, the fourth prince gets his family, the fifth prince gets his celebrity, and his highness wins the hearts of the people, so one enemy and four are sure to win!"

"How to satisfy the hearts of the people?" Situ Sheng asked eagerly. He had seen the power of the hearts of the people when he released the food, so why didn't he want to use the hearts of the people for his own use?

"Breeding people, never adding rewards!" This can be described as a big killer to win the hearts of the people.

In ancient times, it was impossible to fight the local tyrants to divide the land. If Li Chuang really made a scene, the whole world would be ruined, so you can't play like this. It is much more useful to never add gifts.How to explain it?In ancient times, there were taxes and taxes. The two are different concepts. The taxes here refer to the head tax, which is the money that must be paid for each new person. Even if a man dies in this family, another boy is born. It's not that you don't have to pay for one plus and one minus, but you have to pay for the newborn boy. You must know that the death rate in ancient times was horribly high. Even if the child died only two days after birth, you still have to pay. How can parents bear such a gift, so concealing the population has become the norm in ancient times.These concealed people either became servants of rich and powerful families, or became ruffians and rogues to disturb the peace of the place. It is definitely not a good thing.This problem can be completely solved by never adding taxes, and these populations can be used for economic construction to increase the country's GDP.

Moreover, this poll tax was originally collected to build gardens and houses for the royal family, and it has nothing to do with the officials, so there is no need to worry about the retaliation of the officials when they put forward this slogan.As for the royal family members, those royal family members are fighting with you, you don't care what they think.Jiang Yuan has an ingenious plan to make money and build houses. There is no need for poll tax, so this strategy is very feasible.

Situ Sheng understood quite quickly, and immediately nodded to express his understanding. "Didn't you say there are two more things?"

"To win the hearts of the people, you must also win the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals. To win their hearts, you must be good at accepting advice and open up your voice. You need to do one sentence: use copper as a mirror to straighten your clothes; use ancient times as a mirror to know the ups and downs; Man is a mirror, which can show gains and losses.” Many people know Tang Taizong because of this passage. Back then, he set up an archway like Wei Zheng, which made people praise Ming Jun for a lifetime. No matter whether he can do it or not, it is quite useful. A slogan, as long as it is shouted out, can definitely attract people.

"The last thing is not rough, it is..." Jiang Yuan's eyes were cold, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun!"

"The reason why the eldest prince can compete with the prince is to know the soldiers. If the lord can get a part of the army, then the chances of winning will be greatly increased." It's still hard to succeed in the incident, it doesn't depend on popular support or orthodoxy, it depends on the fact that I have soldiers in my hands!As long as you have soldiers, you have the power to fight, and there is still time to turn around, so this is the most important thing. "These three points are my strategy for calming down."

Jiang Yuan said in his heart, there are three slogans for brainwashing, why worry about the people in the world not returning to Situ Sheng?

Situ Sheng personally filled the teacup and placed it in front of Jiang Yuan. The young man was not presumptuous. Since the master and slave had been decided, it was better not to overstep, so he also brought a pot to fill the teacup for Situ Sheng and presented it in front of him.

"The second strategy is called the strategy of eliminating the enemy." After Yang's plan was over, he began to plan. The young man said slowly, "Even if the hearts of all people in the world are conquered, the position of emperor still depends on the will of the emperor. The four princes intend to seize the throne. Every day, I welcome the Holy Majesty, but in my minister's opinion, these four people have their own weaknesses, as long as they defeat each of them and make them lose their Sacred Heart, there is nothing to worry about."

"On the part of the prince, the prince himself is the weak point."

As soon as these words came out, Situ Sheng nodded.The first assistant Feng Ao is indeed a capable person, but he can't stand the prince who is quite worried. The prince doesn't listen to his persuasion and always makes troubles. method, not to mention that Feng Ao is not a god.

Jiang Yuan took out four teacups, put them upside down on the table, pointed to the first teacup and said, "The crown prince's status is stable because he has not lost his virtue in the world. If the prince's mistakes are known to all the officials, the other three princes will definitely become one." The party, drag it down, so the prince is not to worry about, he is the first to be out." The first teacup was pushed away.

"Behind the four princes are the noble families, who seem to be powerful, but in the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the land on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers? Our court supports the nobles in order to suppress the family. It is impossible to forget the old things of Emperor Gao today. This The fourth prince is the whetstone left by the emperor to the prince! Once the prince reveals a flaw, the fourth prince will definitely pull it down, then cross the river and demolish the bridge, unload the grindstone and kill the donkey. The whetstone actually broke the master's beloved knife. How could there be a good end? From my point of view, the Holy Majesty himself can't let the Fourth Prince go, and His Highness doesn't need to take action. He lost his Sacred Heart long ago without knowing it, and he must be the second one out." The second teacup was thrown out again. push away.

"The fifth prince's talent spreads far and wide, but he is flashy. The minister said that he is defeated at the first touch, and then declines. Therefore, if you want to take it, you must first give it. If you don't do well, you will make mistakes. You can find opportunities to make five The prince does an errand. The fifth prince is not responsible. Once he makes a mistake, he must cover it up. However, the more he conceals, the bigger the mistake will be. Once such mistakes are added to the sage's knowledge, the fifth prince will definitely be in court Sophistry refuses to admit it, but I don't know that it will be even more unsacred, and the fifth prince will have nothing to worry about." The third teacup was pushed away...

Jiang Yuan pointed to the last teacup, "This eldest prince is the most troublesome. When the crown prince falls, the eldest prince will occupy the orthodox position. In our court, military merit is the most important thing. Civil servants regard wearing swords as beauty. The eldest prince occupies the position of soldiers." His reputation is not so easy to overthrow. Although the nobles have a bunch of braids, they are protected by the Holy One. The last time His Highness checked the silver case in the library, it was known to the world that it was done by the four kings, but the Holy One took the light Putting it down lightly, it didn't hurt him at all. The intention of the Holy One is to use it to check and balance the family, but it will inevitably become a trend that cannot be lost, but now there is no good way to go beyond the family to find trouble for the eldest prince. The eldest prince himself There is no crime, so arrogant and domineering. If it is wrong, it is wrong, and if it is not, it is not, so it is said that he is the most difficult to deal with."

Even if it was a mistake, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Qianlong could be hacked into pieces... In the history of thousands of years, the only emperor who made a mistake in great success is Emperor Sui Yang, who made it himself. Otherwise, there would be many emperors who failed to defeat Goryeo. Well, where is he missing?The only ruler of our country who achieved a large-scale absolute victory in the war against Goryeo was the Qing Dynasty. The others, regardless of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, were all overwhelmed by the cold weather there...

"Then what should we do?" Situ Sheng asked.This sentence is also the question that people in power like to ask most, "What can I do?"

"If you want to defeat the First Prince, you must let him make his own mistakes. Otherwise, His Royal Highness is not as good as the First Prince, your mother is not as good as the First Prince, and orthodoxy is not as good as the First Prince. It will be difficult to turn around." Jiang Yuan's eyes sparkled, "To deal with the First Prince, we must use two prongs. The first is to use the strategy of playing hard to catch. Master, have you read "Spring and Autumn" and "Zuo Zhuan"?" Seeing Situ Sheng nodding, he said: "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan."

Zheng Bo is Zheng Zhuanggong, and Duan is his younger brother and uncle Duan.After Zheng Zhuanggong became the king, his mother Wu Jiang was very unconvinced, because Wu Jiang liked her younger son, Uncle Duan, and wanted him to be the king, so she planned to implement a coup d'état.Wu Jiang first forced Zheng Zhuanggong to set aside an important military town and give it to Uncle Duan as a fief.All the ministers disagreed, but Zheng Zhuanggong gave it to Uncle Duan.Uncle Duan began to recruit soldiers and buy horses to hoard food and grass, and the officials began to object again, but Zheng Zhuanggong said that he had to wait.Soon, Shuduan occupied two towns in the state of Zheng. The courtiers couldn't bear it anymore, and Duke Zhuang of Zheng said that he should not be cared about.As a result, soon after the time was right, Zheng Zhuanggong lied that he was going to Luoyang to meet the Emperor Zhou. Wu Jiang thought that Zheng Zhuanggong had left Zheng Guo, so he sent a letter to Uncle Duan asking him to attack the capital of Zheng State to seize the throne. Zheng Zhuanggong, who was preparing, made dumplings and beat the whole army to annihilation.Shu Duan fled everywhere, first fled to Yan, but Zheng Zhuanggong also attacked Yan, and finally he had to flee to Gong, but never returned to Zheng.

The story is easy to understand, and the strategy is easy. Simply put, it is "get used to him".Showing weakness to the enemy, retreating temporarily, making the eldest prince paralyzed, making him get carried away and reveal his flaws.The eldest prince's temper is easy to brag about, commonly known as great success, it's good that no one can get used to him, the more get used to him, the more embarrassing he becomes, and when it gets to the extreme, the old emperor can't stand it.

"Secondly, create conflicts in the First Prince's camp and increase the friction between him and his party members. It is best to make them turn against each other. The specific method has already been roughly thought out, and it will only be implemented slowly in the future." The last one The teacup was pushed away, and the second strategy of eliminating the enemy was completed.

The first two strategies were extremely exciting, which also made Situ Sheng look forward to the third strategy, wondering what Jiang Yuan could come up with.

"The third strategy is called the strategy of removing branches and leaves."

Hearing this strategy, Situ Sheng was taken aback, "Mr. Jiang, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Yuan said: "The first strategy of accepting advice with an open mind can only recruit talents, but it cannot prevent others from recruiting talents. The minister's strategy of removing branches and leaves can make each other eliminate our strengths and destroy the enemy's forces. Intangible. The first strategy is to attract people’s hearts and win over neutral people; the second strategy is to cut off its backbone and make it self-destruct the Great Wall; the third strategy is to cut off its branches.” In fact, it is a matter of harming others and benefiting oneself, but it is not Bad things, but good things that benefit the world.

Situ Sheng understood the meaning of the other's superiority. Is Mr. Jiang going to dig the walls of the four princes himself?

Jiang Yuan is not good at poaching walls, he said: "His Royal Highness must know about the overturning of Fang Yuejin, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry."

Situ Sheng naturally knew about this, and he also knew that it was Jiang Yuan's idea to overturn the car, and Fang Yue just got the blueprint and followed it.

"I dare not report to Your Highness. Although my teacher, Mr. Shen, is a master of Confucianism, I also dabbled in Mohism's technique of investigating things when I was young." The mortal enemy of the Mohist school, many scholars nowadays absolutely forbid their disciples to read the books of the Mohist school, but Situ Cheng didn't mind.Does he have a specific sect, and he can use whichever one is easy to use. The Mohists can learn it after learning it, and just use it if it is easy to use.

"I am bored in my spare time, so I researched a new printing method, which can be called the movable type printing method. It can cancel the contract of time and materials, and quickly make plates and print books. If this method is used, the time and money spent on printing books will be reduced. It will definitely reduce the price of books. This method can benefit the people who study all over the world, and it can also help poor students have money to study and understand. If your highness grasps this method, you will be able to win the hearts of all the scholars in the world. As one goes up and the other goes up, there will be more people who study In order to prevent this, the nobles of the family will inevitably disrupt the printing of books, and at that time they will be enemies of scholars all over the world, which will inevitably make other scholars The power has been greatly reduced."

It's rare to travel through, if you don't make a movable type printing or something, wouldn't you be a time traveler for nothing!
