Chapter 70 Lin Che gives an incisive analysis of the way to become an official Long thought.
Zhu Xi raised his head and looked at Lin Che with confused eyes:
"We...can't figure it out, please give me some advice, sir!"
at this time.
The howls of the death row prisoners were heard outside again. Lin Che frowned, walked over and closed the door.
He sat back on the chair and said calmly: "The truth is simply that after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there was no shortage of geniuses, but officials."
"Liu Bowen was full of strategies in the war, helping the current emperor to win thousands of miles and seize the country in one fell swoop."
"However, after the establishment of the dynasty, the emperor no longer needs these ingenious strategies. What he needs is the officials in the court who obey the orders and resolutely implement the emperor's decisions."
"Liu Bowen is a talented person, but under the imperial system, he has no way to display his talent."
"And Li Shanchang is very comfortable."
Zhu Ping seemed to understand but not understand.
Zhu Yuanzhang next door was shocked.
A moment of silence.
"Mr. Lin really hit the nail on the head."
"You know our thoughts clearly, they are exactly the same as your own."
"We are really convinced!"
Zhu Biao, who was sitting nearby and recording, saw Zhu Yuanzhang shaking his head and smiling bitterly, and couldn't help but said:
"Father!"
"What Mr. Lin means is that after the Ming Dynasty was established, Mr. Bowen would no longer be useful."
"But Mr. Han is like a fish in water and fits in well with the court?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he showed a pleased expression, nodded in praise: "exactly!"
"Mr. Lin is absolutely right."
"Liu Bowen is a man! His mind is full of schemes, and he is also good at guessing our thoughts. As long as I speak about anything, he will immediately understand what I mean."
"Not only that, he is a person who takes one step at a time and sees a hundred steps in doing things, and he does everything flawlessly."
"Li Shanchang is just the opposite. He doesn't have so many scruples in doing things. He knows that he will make mistakes, but he will still do it to please us, and he can still do things perfectly..."
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from his chair, walked to Zhu Biao, lowered his head and asked:
"If you were the emperor, who would you prefer?"
Zhu Biao realized something and said with emotion: "So... even though Li Shanchang is the leader of the Huaixi Group, he is still transparent in front of his father. No matter what Li Shanchang or Hu Weiyong thinks or does, they can't hide it from you."
"Therefore, seeing that the Huaixi Group is becoming more and more powerful, you still don't have to worry, because these forces are within your control."
"You don't have to worry about what kind of trouble they will cause!"
Seeing that the prince fully understood what he meant, Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased: "Not bad!"
"You are the crown prince and the future emperor. You must be able to know and employ people. You will trust the ministers who can see through them at a glance and let them help you. But for the ministers who cannot be controlled, you should use them with caution."
"That's why we knew Liu Bowen was capable, but we didn't let him take control of Zhongshu Province."
"Knowing that Hu Weiyong was greedy for power, he appointed him to be in charge of Zhongshu Province."
Hearing this, Zhu Biao suddenly became enlightened and bowed: "Thank you, Father, for clearing up the confusion!"
"My son has an epiphany!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand broadly:
"Boss, you are the prince, it is our duty to teach you."
"However, you should thank Mr. Lin later. It was Mr. Lin who pointed out our thoughts, and I will analyze the problem to you."
"In the final analysis, it was Mr. Lin who gave you enlightenment!"
Zhu Biao stood up, cupped his hands and said: "It's the father!"
the other side.
Zhu Xi's reaction was not as quick as the emperor and prince next door, but he quickly understood Lin Che's meaning.
"Mr. Lin, I understand!"
"Above the court, as an official, you cannot be like Liu Bowen, who speculates on the emperor's thoughts all day long, and is timid in doing things. Doing this will be too tiring for an official, and your efforts will be thankless, which will cause the emperor's dissatisfaction."
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Lin Che high-fived and praised, "You can teach me!"
"you are right!"
"A smart person like Liu Bowen is just too smart, and his intelligence is mistaken for his intelligence..."
"In the end, it ends like this: the birds are gone, but the good bow is hidden; the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked!"
"No matter which emperor, he doesn't like his ministers who are too smart, and he doesn't like his thoughts being guessed by his ministers."
"So the emperor likes to use ministers that he can control, so that he will feel more comfortable using them."
"Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Being an official is really not easy!"
"Zhu Er, you still have a lot to learn!"
Zhu Xi looked at Lin Che with eyes full of reverence and said respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Lin!"
"We will definitely remember your teachings!"
Lin Che nodded with satisfaction, then reminded: "There is another point, which is also the most critical for you."
"If you really enter the officialdom in the future, I hope your promotion path will not be a straight line, but a curve!"
"In the officialdom, if in a short period of time, everyone will lift you to a height that you cannot grasp at all, and you will rise to the top."
"This is definitely not a good thing for you, and even what awaits you..."
“Perhaps it’s an abyss and catastrophe!”
As soon as the words fell to the ground, there was silence.
The emperor and his son next door looked at each other tacitly, and were extremely shocked.
You must know that this situation happened in the Hongwu Dynasty.
At that time, Yang Xian was still an unknown person. Under the praise of Hu Weiyong and others, he quickly climbed to a high position in Zhongshu Province. Even Li Shanchang, the left prime minister of Zhongshu, stayed away.
Yang Xian was promoted so quickly that he became forgetful and arrogant.
Not only was he hated by the Huaixi Group, but no one from the Zhedong Group had a good word to say about him.
In the end, Li Shanchang used a little trick to bring down Yang Xian.
Yang Xian was executed by Lingchi.
It only lasted two years.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the wall and sighed:
"Boss, did you hear that, although you have been participating in government affairs with us for several years, Mr. Lin has never been in the court, but he sees the problem more thoroughly and thinks more carefully than you do."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed the tea cup on the table and took a sip: "Mr. Lin is an extraordinary talent!"
"The way to be an official cannot be a straight line, a curve rising... That's so well said!"
"Boss, you must remember this sentence, and then feel it with your heart, and understand it with your heart. The same applies to being an emperor!"
After hearing this, Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly.
Use a pen to mark the key points in this paragraph.
Then, concentrate on it, hold the pen tightly, and wait for the next words.
"what?"
Hearing this, Zhu Xi almost bit his tongue and looked at Lin Che in disbelief.
"Mr. Lin, is officialdom really so scary?"
"If you're not careful, you will be plunged into an abyss, and there will be no recovery. Are you exaggerating?"
"I think the ministers who have good relations with my father... my father are all very kind!"
"The court is not as dangerous as you say!"
Lin Che looked at the other party, smiled, and retorted:
"if not!"
"Official life is like a battlefield, a battlefield without smoke!"
"Killing without blood, let alone using a knife!"
"How did Prince Yue die back then? He was summoned back by twelve gold medals for just a few greedy words in the court. On top of the unfounded charges, with a click, a generation of anti-golden heroes fell!"
"This is the power of the court, how terrifying it is!"
"No matter how brave and skillful a general is, he will have to kneel down and be a dog licker when he enters the big dye vat of the court!"
"Do you think this officialdom is scary?"
