Faced with criticism from officials, the emperor would have a headache, and Wu Changqing was no exception.

He was thinking whether he was going to be a wise monarch, or a dazed monarch, or a tyrant, as he called him.

It is the easiest to be a dazed ruler, one is comfortable, all officials are happy, and the people at the bottom suffer.

Being a Mingjun is the most uncomfortable, I am uncomfortable, but the officials are comfortable, and the people at the bottom suffer.

Being a tyrant of the people is the coolest, the officials are the most depressed, and the people at the bottom are happy, but it is easy to bring down the country.

Pros and cons.

In the end, Wu Changqing decided to be a Ming Jun, but not the Ming Jun in the mouths of Baiguan, but the Ming Jun he thought.

He wants to make himself comfortable, make the officials helpless, and make the people at the bottom happy.

It was difficult, when Wu Changqing wanted to give it a try.

In response to the attack by the official, Wu Changqing summoned Wei Ziwen, the propaganda chief of the Ministry of Rites.

As the emperor, he naturally couldn't go off the court to fight against the officials.

One is that it damages the dignity, the other is that there is no idle time, and the third is that it does not conform to the rules.

But this does not mean that the emperor can't do anything about it. In fact, as the highest authority, the emperor can always gain some upper hand in the struggle with the officials.

If an emperor is at a disadvantage in the struggle with the officials, it is enough to show that this person is a waste.

Wu Changqing summoned his confidant, Wei Ziwen, one of the representatives of the imperial party, and asked him to confront those officials.

Yan Guan is an official, and Wei Ziwen is also an official, so there is no problem with the two parties.

"Look at these memorials."

Wu Changqing threw the memorials of the officials in front of Wei Ziwen, who hurriedly checked.

In fact, there is no need to look carefully, this is not the matter that the official scolded in private, but got what the court said.

Therefore, Wei Ziwen already knew about it.

"These people have no respect, they don't know what to do."

Wei Ziwen said.

"Although they don't know what to do, they have to be convinced to deal with it. That's the difficulty."

Wu Changqing said.

"To deal with this kind of thing, you can generally persuade them by way of debate, or you can use etiquette and morality to debate with the other party to distract them, or you can collect their personal problems and then attack them, keeping them busy defending themselves and distracting them. their energy.

If he can collect evidence, he can be dismissed from office and imprisoned in the army. They can also mobilize public opinion and put pressure on them.

At present, His Majesty has a very high prestige among the people. Expose their ignorance and let the people know that the people will definitely stand on His Majesty's side, which can create some psychological pressure on them. "

Wei Ziwen thought of several ways in one breath.

"You are responsible for doing it. It is best to use three methods or even multiple methods together to quell this sound as soon as possible."

After Wu Changqing explained the business, he and Wei Ziwen went to the house again: "Now the thinking of some important officials in the court is still stuck in the old times, and can't keep up with the development of the empire. However, there are some qualifications that cannot be abandoned for no reason, which chills the hearts of the old officials. .

But these people are vegetarians, and those of you who are capable will not be able to rise to the top. This will definitely not work. Your new generation should grow up as soon as possible and be ready to take over their class at any time. "

Wu Changqing is implying that Wei Ziwen wants him to work hard, and he will have a position in the cabinet in the future.

To say that some of the important ministers are rotten thinking is to imply that they will attack those six ministers from time to time.

This is a basic exercise of power, dividing the relationship between high-level officials and middle-level officials, creating conflicts between them.

Tell the people below directly that you can't be ministers, not because of your incompetence, but because the people above are occupying positions.

People who believe Wu Changqing's words will definitely feel unhappy with their bosses and unwilling to do so.

If you want to be in the top position, you can't be with your boss, but because the goal is to defeat the boss.

Only by defeating the boss can you be promoted.

In this way, a contradiction arises.

A very simple method can provoke conflicts between middle-level and high-level officials.

Unless, middle-level officials have no ambition, or are too smart to be fooled.

For those who have no ambitions, just withdraw it and it's done.

For those who are too smart to be fooled, the emperor also has a way.

Find those old ministers directly and say that the young people today are really shameful, and they want to be promoted without any qualifications.

Emperor, I reprimanded them severely, Aiqing, don't worry, I will remember your credit and hard work.

Those old ministers will naturally feel dissatisfied with the subordinates who want to replace them, and then find ways to suppress their subordinates.

At that time, the contradiction arose again.

If middle-level officials and high-level officials happen to be old foxes, they are not fooled.

That's easy, just change their departments and pick an honest person for each of them to sow discord and create conflicts.

If the middle-level officials and the high-level officials are the old foxes among the old foxes, they deliberately make a show to deceive the emperor, so that the emperor mistakenly thinks that the two of them have intensified their conflicts, but in fact the two are on the same side in private.

The emperor also has means to solve it, but it is much more complicated.

In a game of chess between the ruler and his subjects, the emperor and his subjects are chess players. The game between the two sides is actually quite interesting.

This game of chess has been played on the land of China for a thousand or two thousand years, and there are winners and losers.

in general

The trend is that the emperor is slightly dominant.

The chess players changed and changed, and the chess skills of both sides became more and more perfect.

At this time, it is necessary to see who is more skilled and create some new moves in order to secure the victory.

"Students remember."

Wei Ziwen lowered his head.

Of course he knew that Wu Changqing was using himself to deal with those old officials in order to prevent the officials from uniting.

As long as the officials are not united, it is definitely not worth playing one-on-one with the emperor.

But once the officials are united, the emperor will be in great trouble.

He knew he was being used, but Wei Ziwen had no choice. He had no choice.

Unless he doesn't want to be an official, he is willing to resign and go home to retire in the mountains.

Otherwise, it's a dead end, and unless he can come up with a smarter and more creative move, he has to follow this rule.

Kill Qian Qianyi first, and then be killed by his subordinates in the future.

Wei Ziwen used students instead of ministers. In fact, he wanted to continue to maintain a teacher-student relationship with Wu Changqing.

He hoped that when his power became more powerful in the future, when Wu Changqing cleaned up himself, he could recite the feelings of teachers and students and not be too cruel.

Just be demoted, not beheaded.

"Well, let's go to work first."

Wu Changqing patted his shoulder.

As an emperor, he has too many pieces at his disposal and has an advantage.

This game of chess, he is confident that he can play well.

Because, as a later generation, he can use his knowledge and system plug-ins to create some new ways of moving.

And this is a condition that other emperors do not have, and it is Wu Changqing's greatest advantage.
