Chapter 793 The Only Big Guy (Middle)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

He and Zhang Juzheng broke up the banquet, and when they returned home silently, it was already the middle of the moon, and the cold stars were lonely.

He didn't want to bring the smell of alcohol to his wife and daughter, so he asked the maid to tell the backyard that he was resting in the back study tonight.

When passing by the Yuemen Cave, he asked, "Has Shiyue Gong rested?" ”

"It's still in the former study." Shen Quan whispered.

As soon as Shen Mo's heart warmed, he changed his route and went to the front study.

Gently pushing open the door, I saw Wang Yin wearing a dark crane, leaning back in the chair and reading a book. On one side of him lay a few bricks on the ground, and on the bricks sat a tandoor, and the charcoal fire was blazing, boiling a pot of boiling water. Against the backdrop of the red firelight, the clear face was a little more kind and a little less dusty.

"Mr. hasn't slept yet?" In those days, there was no entertainment at home at night, and if you didn't go out, you would go to bed early.

"I'm old, I can't sleep." Wang Yin put down the book, and said with a smile while making tea: "The long night is difficult, and the tea is discussed, and the party will live up to the gold." ”

Shen Mo knew that Wang Yin must have expected that when he came back from the banquet, he would definitely want to find someone to chat, so he was waiting for him here. Feeling hot, he asked the guards to move the chairs to the hearth, and then ordered the others to stand down. When only the two of them were left in the room, Shen Mofang smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that it's all about some big scenery." ”

"Hehe, the wind and the snow, the is good; King Cheng Zhu Lu, the love of pedants. Wang Yin shook his head and smiled: "The old man is not a, nor is he a pedant, just this way of yin and yang." ”

"Yes, turnip greens have their own favorites." Shen Mo laughed and said, "Then let's talk around the fireplace late at night." ”

"Good." Wang Yin poured tea for Shen Mo with a smile and asked, "What did you talk about with Zhang Taiyue?" ”

Silently holding the teacup, he whispered the conversation on the table to Wang Yin, and at the end he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "He told him frankly about the situation that Xu Ge was going to collapse Gao Gong, which must mean that he wanted me to tell Gao Gong, what kind of calculation did he make, I really can't ...... miles."

"I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." Wang Yin smiled slightly: "Sometimes the appearance is confusing and elusive, we might as well do the opposite, through the understanding of this person, put yourself in his shoes and think about it, it is likely that we will see his own meaning." ”

"Put yourself in ...... place," he muttered silently: "What does today's situation have to do with Zhang Juzheng?" ”

"It's a big deal" is silent in the middle of the night, but Wang Yin's conversation is much stronger than that of the day: "It turns out that Xu Ge is playing a big game of chess. At the beginning, Xu Jie, with his authority, overtook Zhang Juzheng one after another, and it had reached the point of ignoring it and seizing the day. His background is not only because of the revival of the old ministers, Xu Ge always hopes that Zhang Juzheng can help him deal with Gao Gong. ”

"Oh?" Shen Mo said softly.

"Actually, it's not accurate to say this, because with Xu Ge's energy, without Zhang Juzheng's help, it is still a complete victory without suspense." Wang Yin picked up the teacup and took a sip and said: "The reason why he wants Zhang Juzheng to act as a pawn is to separate the relationship between the two...... Adults should know that between Gao and Zhang, the relationship was originally very harmonious, and he promised to be a 'comrade', and even when Gao Gong and Xu Jie began to fight each other, Zhang Juzheng also tried his best to mediate and really helped Gao Gong say good things a few times. ”

Shen Mo nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

"If I were Xu Ge Lao, I wouldn't be willing to grow other people's crops in my own field." Wang Yin said lightly: "He can't tolerate Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gongmei's eyes, so he asked Zhang Juzheng to draft an edict together...... This seems to be increasing his capital, but in fact, it is to let Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng centrifuge, and now Xu Ge Lao is going to seize the opportunity to launch a general attack on Gao Gong, and let Zhang Juzheng command the Yan official to charge into battle, just to let the two of them break completely. ”

"Why does Xu Ge have to be paranoid about this?" Shen Mo had the answer in his heart, but he needed Wang Yin's answer to confirm it.

"It's to never suffer in the future, other pavilion elders have been defeated, and the possibility of a comeback is very small. But the high arch is different, after all, it is the same as father and son today. Xu Ge Lao must be worried that if he retreats in the future, if the emperor rises again, then the victory and defeat will be reversed in an instant. Wang Yin said: "Therefore, the successor Shoufu must become a fire and water with Gao Gong, so as to resolutely prevent Gao Gong from rising and ......" As long as Shoufu's attitude is resolute, even the emperor is helpless.

"Sure enough, it's a big game of chess,......" Shen Mo said with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "Pull a hair and move the whole body, no wonder Xu Ge Lao resolutely will not change people." ”

"yes." Wang Yin nodded and said, "I'll talk about the adult's affairs later, let's talk about Zhang Juzheng first...... In addition to what Fang just said, he also had a problem, that is, he had to follow the route set by Xu Jie, and he could not exceed half a step, and he could only be an heir who complied with the rules. The prime minister wants him to submit his name and behave in accordance with the rules, both of which are unpleasant, how should Zhang Juzheng choose? Saying that, he looked at Shen Mo with a smile and said, "My lord, do you remember what we once summarized?" ”

"Of course I won't forget." Silently holding the teacup, he said leisurely: "A qualified politician must consider three main points when formulating countermeasures: one is face, one is conscience, and the other is interests. All the best policies must be the third, there is face, conscience, and interests; The second is the best strategy; There is only one solution. Every step of his action is constantly weighing the three main points of face, conscience and interests. The method is to deal with the relationship between image and benefits, as well as the relationship between immediate and long-term interests. ”

"Now it seems that Zhang Juzheng is also well versed in the three flavors." Wang Yin said with some emotion: "Although Xu Jie has retired behind the scenes, many people don't know what to do, but when the high arch collapses, everyone will suddenly realize, because except for Lord Shoufu, no one has the ability to overthrow the high pavilion elder." After a pause, he said: "Although the result is bound to be so, if a major minister does not make a big mistake, he is expelled just because he is at odds with the first assistant, which will definitely cause criticism, and it is estimated that the emperor will also have an opinion." ”

"As Zhang Juzheng, helping Xu Jie expel Gao Gong actually doesn't gain any benefits, but will set himself on fire, and there is a danger of being despised by the emperor and his colleagues. Because of Xu Jie's previous series of measures, although he was firmly tied to his body, it also made his identity as an heir a certainty. This is like the crown prince to the emperor, no matter how well the crown prince does, the emperor cannot take the initiative to abdicate the throne, but do more and more wrong...... Therefore, this kind of thing that has no face, is sorry for conscience, and has no benefits, Zhang Ju will not do. Wang Yin's analysis penetrated into it, and people couldn't help but feel that Zhang Juzheng must have thought so: "The only obstacle is that Xu Jie's kindness to him is like a mountain, and against Xu Jie's intentions, he will inevitably live up to the kindness of his teacher." However, the feelings in officialdom are too fragile, and in the eyes of many people, compared with power, the kindness of Mount Tai is not necessarily thicker than a piece of paper. So it's not an obstacle either. ”

"So Zhang Juzheng doesn't plan to be an accomplice?" Shen Mo muttered: "But it is impossible for him to work against Teacher Xu." ”

"This is Zhang Juzheng's purpose for looking for you tonight." Wang Yin sighed: "He revealed the details to the adults, knowing that with the adult's personality, he will inevitably tell Gao Xinzheng truthfully; At the same time, he made some superficial words, such as saying some innocuous words of persuasion in front of Xu Jie and Gao Gong. gives people the feeling that he is very embarrassed and tries his best to mediate the contradictions, so that everyone's impression of him will not deteriorate, but will get better, thinking that he is a good person with justice and trying to reconcile; In the long run, if there is a comeback in the future, I won't be too embarrassed for him when I think of this private report."

"As soon as Mr. decomposed, he suddenly felt enlightened." In fact, Shen Mo also thinks so, but he will always make plans and give up a few staff, as long as he doesn't want to lose face.

"Hehe......" Wang Yin actually understands the little trick of silence, but he is very useful, because this is the performance of the owner's benevolence. So he continued to analyze for Shen Mo: "Based on Zhang Juzheng's situation, I think that tonight, he is open and honest with adults, no matter what he feels in his heart, it is actually a signal of goodwill, and he has the intention of joining forces with adults." Wang Yin continued: "It seems that he finally understands that his opponent is not an adult, and old ministers like Ge Shouli and Zhao Zhenji are the peaks that he must conquer in front of him." Even if you make a bold guess, I am afraid that the current Xu Jie, in Zhang Juzheng's mind, is no longer his mentor and protector, but an obstacle to his independence and grand ambitions. ”

"Yes," Shen Mo laughed at himself, "Maybe in his opinion, since Elder Xu Ge wants to help him to the throne, he will inevitably expel me from the cabinet who is in the way, so there is no need to conflict with me at all...... I guess as long as I don't threaten his position anymore, he will be willing to join forces with me and do something together. He scratched his nose and said, "After all, in everyone's eyes, I'm still a cadre." ”

"Of course, adults can be called young and promising first ministers." Wang Yin was very insincere, and laughed: "Zhang Juzheng is really calculating, he chose a path for himself with the least risk and the greatest benefit...... "Said and deliberately stopped, looked at Shen and said silently: "Of course, this is all our inference, and it is not perfect, may I ask what is the problem?" ”

"Well, put yourself in their shoes, and there's one thing I don't think is wise." Shen Mo shook his head slightly and said, "What kind of person is Xu Ge? In terms of power and strategy, it has been the leader for a hundred years. These methods of our juniors are all left over from his play, even if Zhang Taiyue pretends to be like him, he can't escape his eyes. ”

"Yes" Wang Yin's eyes flashed: "My lord really said what he said, if the inference is true, then he is underestimating Xu Jie's reaction...... However, just like the son always thinks that his father will forgive him, Xu Jie is too good to him, and it is not incomprehensible if he thinks that Xu Jie can tolerate this level of yang and yin disobedience. ”

"So the inference still holds?" Silently poured tea for Wang Yin.

"Even if you don't hit it, it's not far away." Wang Yin laughed, and Shen Mo also laughed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"After talking about Zhang Juzheng, what should we do?" Shen Mo felt that the taste of tea was already a little light, but light also had the benefit of light, so he didn't care. sighed lightly and said, "I still overestimate the relationship between teachers and students......"

Wang Yin sighed in his heart, it seems that the fate of Gao Gong made Shen Mo feel like something hurt. Although the main reason for this Gao Gong accident was that Xu Jie's exclusion of dissidents, it also had the intention of clearing the way for the heir. If it continues to develop normally, it is estimated that after he throws Gao Gong Guo Pu and others into the cabinet, it will almost be time to get Shen Mo out of the cabinet.

Silence must not leave the Cabinet, at least not in this way, which would take him away from the centre of power and seriously deviate from the predetermined plan. What should I do? How to escape the fate of expulsion has become the top problem that Shen Mo must solve.

Wang Yin did not immediately answer the silence, but handed him the book he had read earlier.

Shen Mo looked at it and said softly: ""Willow River East Collection"? ”

"There is a set of fables in it," Wang Yin said, "called "Three Commandments." ”

Shen Mo nodded, turned to that page, and saw three articles called "The Elk of Linjiang", "The Donkey of Qian", and "The Rat of Yong's Family".

"The second of them," Wang Yin said with a slight squint, "adults may wish to read it." ”

"The Donkey ......of Qian" is a short article that Shen Mo memorized backwards in his previous life, but there is no nonsense, according to his meaning, read it softly: "There is no donkey in Qian, and those who have good deeds can be carried by boat, and if it is not available, it will be put down the mountain." When the tiger saw it, the behemoth also thought it was a god. Peek into the forest, get a little closer, but don't know each other. On other days, the donkey roared, the tiger was terrified, and he fled far away, thinking that he was devouring himself, and he was very afraid. However, when you look at it, you feel that there is no one with extraordinary abilities. After learning its voice, he approached the front and back, and finally did not dare to fight. A little closer, swinging and rushing, the donkey is angry, and the hooves are there. The tiger is happy, and the day of the calculation: "The skill stops this ear" because of the jump and stumble, cut off its throat, and exhaust its flesh, but to ......"

Very short and read it quickly.

Wang Yin smiled and looked at Shen Mo and said, "My lord, this is the good idea I gave you." ”

After thinking about it silently, he suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "It's a good idea."

What kind of dumb riddle are these two playing? In fact, to put it bluntly, the reason is also very simple...... How the hell did the poor donkey die? It's actually dying from its own blindness. If you don't believe it, please look at the psychology of the tiger, at first I thought it was a god and didn't dare to approach. The donkey is safe at this time. As long as it stays that way, it can live with peace of mind. But the donkey wanted to be reckless, to scream, to kick with his hooves, so he revealed all his poor skills to the tiger. The tiger had a bottom in his heart, of course, he was no longer afraid, and ate the donkey after dividing it by two.

Therefore, in the face of a powerful tiger, the donkey's most powerful weapon is to take advantage of the other party's ignorance, remain silent, and resolutely not act rashly.

In the same way, in the cabinet wrestling, Xu Jie is naturally a tiger, and the role of silence is equivalent to the donkey of Qian, and any resistance is futile. But Xu Jie actually has scruples about silence...... First, Shen Mo is a meritorious man and his student, which makes Xu Jie unable to deal with him by dealing with Gao Gong, otherwise it will make people feel cold; At the same time, Xu Jie's true strength for Shen Mo has never been clear, because Shen Mo almost never uses his connections...... Except, of course, those whose relationships are clear. So how many Shen parties are there in the Xu Party? And how many silent supporters are there in the DPRK and China? Xu Jie only knew that there must be a lot, but how many? He couldn't tell.

And how influential is silence in the southeast? Can he catch up with half of him in Suzhou, and how many of those governors listen to his command? Before Shen Mo made a big counterattack, Xu Jie couldn't see it clearly.

What's more, Shen Mo was able to investigate the Xu family's case at the beginning, how much did he know about the Xu family's situation? Do you still have the evidence of the original incrimination? Although he said that it was all destroyed, who knows if there will be a backhand?

In this case, in the face of Xu Gelao, who is cautious by nature, the best strategy is not to move, only by not acting recklessly can he increase his own weight, so that the opponent can not see himself clearly, so that he does not dare to take attack measures easily...... This at least guarantees that he won't be cruel to himself anytime soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Although the method is ingenious, it can only save a while, not a lifetime, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, let alone the tiger?" Shen Mo said softly.

"Zhang Juzheng's behavior has an invisibly benefit, which may make Xu Ge let go of the adult." Wang Yin said: "No leader likes uncontrolled subordinates, and if he can't be replaced, the best way is to give him a strong opponent and let the two compete, so that both of them have to be obedient." ”

"The specific strategy is three moves, one is to take more pictures and not hide. Hiding instead seems weak and timid, and lacks confidence. Even if you are worried in your heart, you must be generous and casual on the surface. Take a lot of photos on various occasions to let everyone see your composure. It is a silent force that sways the situation. ”

"The second is to be more dedicated, the more in this sensitive period, the more you can't keep your soul. Talk more about work and communicate with superiors, peers, and subordinates, and show that you are not sensitive to crises and are committed to your work. ”

"The third is not to ask for affection. If Xu Jie's conversation with an adult, it is mostly for Gao Gong's business. Adults should not panic, but should talk more about their achievements and experiences in the relevant affairs of the military department, and at the same time talk about their own shortcomings and shortcomings, ask for criticism and correction, and finally put out the difficulties they have encountered, and ask him to help solve them and give them support. Remember not to intercede for yourself, let alone for Gao Gong or anyone else, and don't make small moves in private. These small actions are equivalent to a donkey's legs, which will not achieve much effect, but will expose its own weakness and anger the tiger. ”

"But this is not a long-term solution...... Wang Yin finally said in a deep voice: "If you want to never suffer in the future, you can only beat the tiger to death but deal with Xu Jie, the conspiracy is useless, you have to use yang to conspire like Yang did someone"-
