Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

At the beginning of Jiang Yuan's words of offering tea, the two chatted more and more enthusiastically.The attendants of the two had already been kicked out to watch the door. This teahouse itself is Jiang Yuan's shop, and he reserved this private room for himself. There is absolutely no one around, which saves a lot of trouble.

Jiang Yuan knew Situ Sheng quite well.The current emperor has five sons in total. The eldest son Yong Wang Situ Xu's biological mother is Concubine Zhen. The mother's family power is the Jiangnan Zhen family, and the Zhen family is the local emperor of Jiangnan. With the backing of the nobles like the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, he became arrogant and domineering, not taking other people seriously.For this eldest prince, it is pure nonsense to say that he has military merits, and killing a small tribe of dozens of people is considered a thousand-level beheading?It's impossible to tell a lie, so it's him who is so happy.

The second prince, Situ Ang, is the current prince. His biological mother died early, and he was named the crown prince before he was a year old. But Jiang Yuan took a closer look at the prince's style. He didn't like Chinese etiquette, but admired the barbarian style. He has no tolerance for others If he is the king, I am afraid that Huaxia will surrender to the northern barbarians... The reason why this prince is still sitting on the position of the prince is because he is very fond of him now. The second reason is because of his uncle. The uncle of the crown prince is Feng Ao, the chief assistant of the head of all officials in the dynasty. .

The fourth prince Shun Wang Situhui is the son of Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua's Chu family comes from a rich family. This kind of family is not comparable to honor and nobility, but a real big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.The Jing Dynasty introduced the imperial examination system in order to suppress the aristocratic family, but even so, one-third of the people who study in the world today come from or are related to the aristocratic family.At the beginning, Emperor Gaozu wanted to marry his daughter to the son of the Yang family, but that son refused the marriage in person, claiming that the princess was not as good as the Yang family, and that the family was not right!Emperor Gaozu had nothing to do with him, one can imagine how powerful the family is.This fourth prince looks like a virtuous corporal and has recruited a lot of disciples, but he is extremely arrogant in his heart and doesn't take others seriously.Jiang Yuan felt that his character was very similar to Yuan Shao in the Three Kingdoms period, but he didn't have Yuan Shao's ability, so he was not a man of success at all.The so-called ambition is big but wisdom is small, stern but timid, jealous but less powerful, scheming but indecisive, doing great things but cherishing one's life, seeing small gains but forgetting one's life, is not a hero.

The fifth prince Lian Wang Situ Yi is the son of Concubine Rong, and Concubine Rong's father and brother are all literati in imperial examinations. After 60 years, these imperial examination officials have gradually occupied many positions, and they have also attracted many concubine Rong Wei's family.In terms of strength, this power is not comparable to Feng Ao, nor is it comparable to the Chu family, but it should not be underestimated.To Jiang Yuan, this Situ Yi is a cynical youth, no, not even a cynical youth.What he said was better than what he sang, but Zhao Kuo who spoke better than him was just talking on paper, and this was exactly the same thing.This kind of person is pretentious, but once he is frustrated, he will be depressed. Compared with the first, second, fourth and third princes, he is far behind, but he just doesn't know it.I am afraid that such a conservative king will not be able to do it, so let's wash up and sleep.

In comparison, the third prince, Situ Sheng, is the most handsome...

Jiang Yuan sighed, this third prince can be regarded as a model of perseverance, since he was 16 years old, he suffered setbacks, but he persevered. Situ Yi.Opening warehouses to release grain and beheading profiteers is quite courageous, a bit like Cao Cao's stick killing Jiantu.Watching him act, he is eclectic, he is not a pedantic person, he can be upright and amazing, and he has the art of war. If he is a king, he will be a blessing to the community.

I don't know if this third prince has the courage to give up on me.It doesn't matter if you don't have one. At the beginning, Cao Cao only wanted to be a general who conquered the West. In the end, he didn't want "Duke Zhou spits out his nourishment, and the world returns to his heart."A person's ambition needs to be cultivated bit by bit. If Cao Mengde could become a capable minister to rule the world, would he be a traitor in a troubled world?

At this moment, the people of the Three Princes are most popular, if he doesn't want to be the king, his brothers may not be able to tolerate him, so it's all right for him not to be the king!

It's not that Jiang Yuan wants to get involved in the battle for the heir apparent, it's really impossible not to get involved.Nowadays, the military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are fine, but the civil servants have to stand in line unless they are really far away from the emperor.Want to be neutral?Neutrality is the enemy of all!Unless Jiang Yuan doesn't want to be promoted and intends to be a small person all his life, he will be involved sooner or later in the next ten years.Since everyone has to go in, it's better to find someone who is pleasing to the eye in advance. If the husband is not born with five tripods, he will eat with five tripods. Jiang Yuan doesn't like such a person as Zhu Fuyan, but he still appreciates this sentence.What's more, Situ Sheng is a man of benevolence and righteousness, so he must not be the generation who cooks all the birds, hides the rabbits and kills the dogs, why not assist Mingjun to stabilize the world?

When it came to speculating, Jiang Yuan pushed the golden mountain and turned the jade pillar into a big gift. Situ Sheng was startled, and quickly reached out to help him, but Jiang Yuan didn't struggle. After giving the gift, he stood up with Situ Sheng's strength.

"Brother Jiang, why did you come here?" Situ Sheng couldn't believe it if he realized something, he didn't know why a great talent like Jiang Yuan would choose him instead of his brother.Being in the middle of the game, Situ Sheng already knew his situation, and if he didn't make it to the top, he would be doomed.He has done a lot in these years, but there are not many disciples. His father is lukewarm to him, and he is almost desperate. He never thought that Jiang Yuan would take the initiative to join him at this moment. This... this, this, it is simply unbelievable!

"Jiang Yuan wants to serve the lord, so he should salute." The young man smiled.

"This..." Situ Sheng's heart was filled with enthusiasm. He knew that the young man had already defected to him, but he still wanted to ask clearly, "There are five sons of the emperor father. There are many noble bloodlines, and the fifth brother is famous for his literary talents, why does Brother Jiang only take a fancy to me?"

Therefore, it is necessary to rely on words to go to a lord. Jiang Yuan didn't care, and laughed: "A wise man judges the master, so he can do everything well and be famous. The prince doesn't like Huaxia, and he admires Yidi deeply. He acts arbitrarily and does not listen to advice. I am afraid that chaos will occur and it will be difficult to continue. The eldest prince is very happy, does not know how to advance or retreat, is jealous and crony. It is extremely prosperous, but it is only a dry bone in the grave, and it will die sooner or later. The four princes want to imitate Zhou Gong's subordinates, but they don't know how to use people. .The five princes have no real name, talk about war on paper, they will be defeated at the first touch, and then decline.

After belittling the enemy first, it's time to praise his lord. Jiang Yuan pondered for a while, and said: "Your Highness Hongyi is generous and persevering. He is majestic with kindness, courageous and righteous. Knowing talents, regardless of humbleness. Do whatever you can Envoys, all are useful. Strategies are easy to act, knowledgeable and good at making decisions. Although the situation is difficult and dangerous, the faith will become clearer, and the situation will not lose the way. Is it under?" The words contained the ancients' evaluation of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and this kind of praise is definitely enough.

Jiang Yuan's words were included in the later "Jing Shi", but the young man didn't know it at the time, and his words became the object of study for historians of all ages.The fact that the British prince Jiangyuan defected to Emperor Jingwu Situ Sheng must be written in a big book. As a model of a wise king and loyal ministers, the king and his ministers will get along with each other for a lifetime, so of course it must be carefully studied.

Jiang Yuan's words completely dispelled Situ Sheng's worries. He knew that Jiang Yuan started in the infancy, and now he has just emerged and is not valued by others. Now he must be sincere in defecting to himself.Now that he has got this mastermind, he naturally wants to ask for a strategy. Like all the ancient people who wanted to achieve great things, he also asked: "What can you teach me, sir?"

Jiang Yuan had been prepared for a long time, "Yuan has three strategies to offer His Highness." He didn't mention the strategy, but asked first: "Why does Your Highness want to reach the top?" Why do you want to be the emperor?

Situ Sheng was taken aback by this question, he couldn't say that if I don't act, I will die.If you don't rise, you will fall, if you don't honor, you will be humiliated, if you don't get promoted, you will die. It's okay to talk to your own people, but it can't be regarded as a formal reason.

Jiang Yuan smiled, so although the ancients were smart, their vision tended to be limited after all.Modern people know that if you want to compete for a position, you must explain your executive policy in plain language. There is no specific method or method to use to fool the following candidates to play with you.When you are a small class leader, you have to talk about what activities you plan to do in the class and how to improve everyone's academic performance, let alone being an emperor.

"Today, the subordinates are subject to each other, and everyone observes etiquette. The crown prince occupies the heir, and the eldest prince occupies the elder. There is nothing wrong with virtue. Why do you go against the will of the sage and follow the heart of your highness? Why did the former Yan die for the second generation? The second generation of Yan The father kills the brother to seize the throne, and loses virtue in the world. Do you want to follow suit?" If you want to climb to the top, you must have a reason that must be yours.If he can do without you, then it doesn't make sense.

"The minister's first strategy is the strategy of calming down (Jiang Yuan laughed secretly, in fact, it should be called the strategy of brainwashing)." Jiang Yuan said: "Although I have surrendered to the world, I still have hidden worries. This worry lies in the northern barbarians. To be a prisoner is to belong to the nobles of the family. The northern barbarians plundered our people, trampled on our land, and forced Emperor Gao to sign the alliance under the city. This is a great shame and humiliation. If you don't take revenge, it will be beyond the tolerance of heaven. This hatred is even worse than the hatred of killing your father. Zi Xia Ask Confucius: What is the enmity of one's parents? The Master said: "Sleep on a bed with thatch and a pillow on your shoulders. If you don't serve as an official, you can share the world with the world. When you encounter various cities and dynasties, you don't turn against the army and fight. Killing your father is the same, let alone the state." Enemies? The nobles of the family annexed the land and pushed the common people out. The country could not be peaceful. In times of crisis, they defected to the enemy and betrayed the masters. Official protection talisman, the way is that there are four major families in Jinling. They are connected and related. One is prosperous and the other is prosperous, and the other is damaged. They are supported and covered, and they are all taken care of. If you curry favor with these four families, you can keep your official position. If you offend them, you will lose your official position. , I can't keep my head..."

Hearing this, Situ Sheng was furious, and couldn't help shouting, "There is such a bold guy, but do you think Dajing's sword is bad? Which four are they?!"

Jiang Yuan said: "Jia is not fake. White jade is the hall of gold and horses. It is the Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. A Fang Palace, three hundred miles away, cannot accommodate a history of Jinling. Hou is not dead yet, so there is no such thing as Zhongjing Hou.) There is a lack of white jade beds in the East China Sea, and the Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling. The Xue family after giving up."

"Then the Xue family is just an imperial merchant, how dare they collude with the local government?" Situ Sheng was furious.

"This is just a place in Jinling. Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue are just nobles who have only risen for a few decades. They are not considered extraordinary among the nobles, but they can do such a thing. , not to mention the Yang family, the Chu family and other aristocratic families? There are many people among them who do evil and harm the place, if they are not punished, they will become disasters sooner or later!"

Seeing that Situ Sheng agreed with his point of view, Jiang Yuan said: "Except for His Highness, none of the other four can be kings, otherwise the world will not be guaranteed, the country will collapse, and Dajing will be in danger of being overthrown."

Situ Cheng said, "Oh, how did you see that?"
