"Should..." Tie Xuan frowned and thought. He felt like something was about to burst out of his mind. He thought of those people who begged to re-enter the Imperial Academy; he also thought of the kind emperor who turned around Enke's situation with an imperial edict; he even thought of the public opinion against Enke among the scholars; and those scholars Their unwarranted criticism of the new learning...
"Master, you mean..." Tie Xuan's eyes lit up. "For these people, there is no need to force them to repent, or even to wave the flag and cheer for us."
"As long as we 'guide the trend', we can let them become the help for our great cause and unite everyone's strength to achieve the great cause we want?"
"To facilitate the situation?" Upon hearing this new word coined by Tie Xuan, Zhu Su was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. "Okay, what a 'guide the situation'!"
"Yes, that's exactly what it is!"
Tie Xuan's summary is very accurate. It's not about "taking advantage of the situation", but "taking advantage of the situation", using interests to gather people who don't want to be with you, and let them become your pawns and promote the general trend for you.
The important thing is "potential".
As the saying goes, all the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit. It is obviously impossible to expect everyone to understand the righteousness deeply. Even sages like Confucius thought it was impossible. But if you want to do great things, you must unite the strength of the majority of people and attack the few stubborn elements. Then, using "profit" to lure most people and create "momentum" is the only way for those who want to do great things.
The literati stirred up public opinion to criticize the new learning because the new learning usurped their "benefits", and they created a "power" that made the Imperial College disgraced; His Majesty's imperial edict was also because of the "profit" of being promoted to the sixth rank. The scholars turned around and supported Enke's "power"...
By extension, even many changes, successes and failures in history can be found in these two words.
Tie Xuan only felt enlightened.
This disciple's understanding was so powerful that Zhu Su rarely experienced the pleasure of being a human teacher, and he only felt relieved. Although he felt that Tie Xuan's character could be trusted, after thinking about it, Zhu Su added: "Even so, you have to remember that 'power' can indeed be directed to its advantage, but the leader who controls the direction of 'power' cannot You must not be someone who only has profit in mind."
"The so-called sailing of the sea depends on the helmsman. This is very important. People on the same ship can be of different religions, or they can be short-sighted. But the helmsman who controls the course must have a far-reaching vision and must not only focus on the present."
"Otherwise, the disaster will be even more serious and the crime will be even more serious! Do you understand?" Zhu Su looked at Tie Xuan with burning eyes.
Tie Xuan also looked directly into the young teacher's eyes and nodded heavily. "Master, I understand, disciple! In order to achieve the general trend, everyone does not have to agree with our ideas."
"But the helmsman who can control the direction of the general trend must be a far-sighted and like-minded person."
"Otherwise, the general situation will be out of control, and the disaster will be particularly serious. For example, Dong Zhuo in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yang Guozhong in the Tang Dynasty, etc., all because the generals He Jin and Xuanzong who controlled the general situation did not understand people well and handed over the rudder to treacherous people. This ultimately led to the overthrow of the world and the desperation of the people."
“Therefore, we don’t need to recruit everyone we meet to join the core of my new school. Instead, we should carefully screen and screen them, focusing on the best and not the general.”
"Those short-sighted people who previously quit the Imperial College will not be harmed even if they succeed. After all, they relied on arithmetic to get high school, and as those who have immediate benefits, they will definitely support the new scientific examination. This is enough for our new students. If we are too close to them, If they become the first batch of Xinxue officials who are well-established and successful, they may ruin important things and distort the foundation of Xinxue. Is that right?"
"Yes." Zhu Su smiled. "People like them are just wandering around, and they are not worthy of being the helmsman of the general trend."
"Disciple, work hard! My master looks after you!"
"Yes. Xuan will live up to his mentor's high expectations!" Tie Xuan saluted Zhu Su. At the same time, he also secretly swore in his heart that in the future, if someone seizes the position of the helm of the general trend and distorts the direction of China's rejuvenation, he, Tie Xuan, must rise up and kill him!
…
Here, Tie Xuan realized many truths in one day, and he was one step closer to becoming the perfect and famous minister Tie Xuan in the future. Over there, many high-ranking officials in the court were already troubled by the heated situation of Enke's registration.
Why did they want to get Huang Enke? Because Enko was hired by tax collectors from the Department of Taxation. As for the Taxation Department, if it is established, the first thing to do is to thoroughly investigate whether these officials are clean. In other words, this time Enke is the emperor wielding a sledgehammer and forging a knife to chop at their officials!
Seeing that the sword is slowly taking shape, can these officials not panic? But they were panicking, and now they were leaderless and had no solution: Zhan Tong, the interim leader who was finally elected, was taken to the prison for interrogation by His Highness King Yan because he was bitten by Qi De. God knows what Mr. Zhan was thinking, why did he leave such a conspicuous flaw?
It can only be said that Zhu Di understood Zhu Su's hint of asking Jin Yiwei to capture Qide, and Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao must have understood it as well. As for whether Zhan Tong understands or does not understand, whether he is wronged or not, who will care?
Anyway, the officials are now in chaos as Zhu Su expected, and they can no longer make trouble.
Household Department, room value.
Yan Xizhe felt that as a minister, he had never felt so comfortable. Xiao Jing'er was drinking tea in the check-in room and watching Xiao Jing'er, the world outside suddenly turned upside down.
Those ministers and ministers who were trying to evade themselves were all trying to protect Duke Han and Shangshu Zhan. But now, the backers they had found were overthrown and arrested one after another.
They all panicked, seeing that Enke's registration was booming, the formation of the Taxation Department was unstoppable, and the commercial tax department was about to hit their heads...
Yan Xizhe is so happy! Let you pretend to be a minister! Everyone relies on their elders and acts like their elders, and when something happens they ask me to take the blame! Nowadays, the way of heaven is cyclical, and retribution is not pleasant...
"I was watching the mountain scenery from the city tower. I heard a commotion outside the city. The flags were fluttering and flying, but it turned out to be the soldiers sent by Sima Yi."
In a happy mood, the young Minister of Hubu started singing at the top of his lungs in the dignified room of the Hubu duty room. As he was singing vigorously, the door to the check-in room was suddenly pushed open. The old minister who had always been against him rushed in. When he saw Yan Xizhe, he stamped his feet and said, "Master Shangshu, why are you still singing?"
"You are still such an old god, and our household department is now... almost an empty shell!"
"Oh?" Yan Xizhe took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment, and glared at this old guy who didn't even knock on the door with some displeasure. "What do you mean? Could it be that all the officials in my household department fled out of fear of crime and resigned from their posts?"
It doesn't matter if they become empty shells, these people didn't obey my orders anyway, so it would be better if they left!
"What are you talking about!" The old servant was stunned when he heard the words. He felt guilty and did not dare to explain more, but said bluntly:
"He's a subordinate... He's a subordinate of my household department."
"Since this morning, the subordinates have submitted their resignations one after another... Now, except for the senior officials in our household department, there are not many subordinates who are willing to stay and work!"
