Chapter 202 Ming Dynasty version of Longzhong

"The running water does not rot and the door hinge does not rot. The ancients did not deceive me. My nephew knew the details, but he was even better than the ancients. OK, okay!" Zeng Jian smiled with his palm, which was extremely joyful.

The old man had a very strong sense of knowledge and judgment. On that day, even the craftsmen in Houdefang's amplification device were not clear about, so Xie Hong asked him to explain it repeatedly, but once he saw it, he would know the truth.

In addition, even if Zeng Jian couldn't understand the works of Xie Hong from later generations, even after studying them for a while, he quickly understood the principle. The old man had been studying craftsmanship for a lifetime and his talent was not weak, so how could it be ordinary? Therefore, after Xie Hong spoke out the assembly line concept, the old man pondered a little and thought through it.

But the more you think clearly about the tricks and the more you think about it, the more you are shocked. Zeng Jian is like this now.

He rubbed his hands and exclaimed: "I have read the books of sages and know the principle of respecting ghosts and gods and staying away from them. But since I met my nephew, I really believe that this saying of luck is indeed true. This is why a talent like a nephew came into being. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the reincarnation of a star king."

The truth is only separated by a layer of window paper, and it can be penetrated with one stab, but the person who thinks it is extremely amazing. What's more, even if you understand the truth, without Xie Hong's punches and kicks, you may not be able to get the heartfelt support of the craftsmen, let alone work together.

At this time, the two had already stepped on a built-in viewing building. There were four viewing building, mainly for warning. Zeng Jian looked around on the railing, and the purpose was a busy scene, and he was even more moved.

"With such a core concept, under the guidance of my nephew, the Military Equipment Department will surely flourish in the future and be shocked by the world. The future of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be bright, and my worries are not worthy of truth."

"Why did my uncle say this? Before and after entering the capital, if I had not had my uncle's help and maintenance, my nephew would have ended up being in trouble. Even today's small achievements would have relied on my uncle and Brother Zeng. I would listen to my uncle's teachings more in the future, especially in the court, where my nephew was blindfolded and bumped around everywhere."

In front of the enemy, Xie Hong was arrogant and domineering, but he was blindly arrogant and was very self-aware. When it comes to political struggles, he could not catch up with the old bureaucrats. Including this time, his approach to dealing with the court officials step by step was almost the same, which was to lead the contradictions to the areas he was good at, so that he could gain the upper hand.

Therefore, when Zeng Jian said something seemed to be retreating, Xie Hong hurriedly spoke to keep him. The old man was not usually showing off, but he helped him a lot. Many questions in the future also needed the old man's experience to answer, let alone Xie Hong was the only alliance in the court or in the capital.

Zeng Jian nodded and said, "Don't worry, this matter has been something I have been working hard for decades. Now that the situation has just begun, how can I stand by and let my nephew fight alone at this time? I was just old just now, so I just sighed for a moment. For the future of the Ming Dynasty, I will never refuse to die, and will definitely help my nephew and achieve great events."

After saying that, he smiled slightly and said, "However, the nephew said he was clumsy in court, which is actually a self-deprecating person. From the perspective of me, the nephew is not only not clumsy, but should be said to be extremely good at it."

"Ah?" Xie Hong was very ashamed of being praised by Zeng Jian for a while and was about to say thanks, but when Zeng Jian suddenly said this, he was shocked. Xie Hong knew what he had done after entering Beijing. It was not unfair to describe it as a nonsense or a spoof. Especially the group fight, he was completely unhappy and went straight to mess around.

When he did these things, he was somewhat calculating, but he could not estimate his true reaction and response to the court officials. Even if he was a human being for two lifetimes, he would not be able to survive in the officialdom no matter what.

So, instead of being confused by others, he simply went straight, well, that is, the self-deprecation of throwing apart the jar. If Zhengde had not been wholeheartedly supported, he would have been chopped into meat sauce long ago.

This can be considered good at fighting against the court? Uncle Zeng’s praise is too much, right? Xie Hong was speechless.

Zeng Jian waved his hand and signaled Xie Hong not to speak, then explained: "The battles in the court are the same as military strategy. If the strength is clear, the weak side can deal with them only by those methods..."

"One of the matter, keep a low profile, protect yourself, and then wait for the opportunity to make a future plan. Over the years, I have used this method. If the result is the best, you know the nephew, and I will not say much. The so-called opportunity is illusory. If there is no nephew, I will eventually die of depression. No one knows the ruthless idea in my heart. Maybe there will be a humble and respectful comment in history books, haha..."

He smiled with a self-deprecating smile and said, "This is an ordinary way. This method is used to do a very important thing, but the result is not to be said. Kong Ming, the prime minister of Shu during the Three Kingdoms, knew that Shu was weak and Wei was strong, but he frequently launched troops to attack. The wise man probably understood this truth and knew that he could not do it. What was the point of doing that I wanted to do was even more against the will of heaven. Back then, the weak Shu attacked the strong Wei. What was the use of just keeping his strength?"

Zeng Jian shook his head, sighed, and stretched out another finger and said, "Two, let's go between the enemy and wander among the enemy, provoke conflicts between the enemy, and make them fight each other, and then take things from it. This method is the best strategy. If you want to do this method, you must become smart and good at forbearing. Only after gaining trust through various means can you join the group and perform the method of interchanging each other, just..."

He didn't say it all, but Xie Hong also understood what he meant. When the two first met last year, Zeng Jian's proposal was this way. However, if you want to implement this best strategy, the biggest problem is identity and skills can be hidden, but fame cannot be achieved just by wanting to have it.

Without fame and honor, the scholars and officials would not regard Xie Hong as a kind of person, let alone think of him as a snake. Even Zeng Jian, who has the fame of Jinshi, wasn’t he regarded as a different person in the court because he favored craftsmen and was more rejected?

"In addition, I am naturally stupid and cannot do this method. Although my nephew is smart, how can I endure it? In terms of what I see, I am not a person who can be determined to change. Moreover, I think it is because of my age. Although my nephew has many plans, if those strategies are used to discord, it may be difficult to work."

The two have a close relationship, and Zeng Jian did not hide it and bluntly expressed Xie Hong's shortcomings.

Xie Hong's face turned red, but his plan was not very good, and his partner was even more unreliable. The original serious plan would probably turn into a joke when Zhengde was in the hands of him, let alone those who were already a bit of a spoof?

"What you and I want is to overthrow the rule of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, which is regarded as the foundation of the country, and it is challenging the scholars. It may not be difficult to live in the court to seek things at the beginning, but once you reveal the details, you may be attacked immediately by the court. Even if you are the chief minister, it will be overthrown in a short time. This best strategy is just taken for granted."

Zeng Jian was indeed different from ordinary scholars. He overturned his own ideas, but he was completely unrestrained. He stretched out his third finger and said, "Three rules are to show off the carriage and horses and fight with them. Of course, since the strength and weakness are clearly distinguished, and using a dignified formation to attack the strong, it will eventually be just to show off his blood and courage and act like the foolish man."

"Uncle, say so..." Xie Hong was puzzled when he heard this. It seemed that this was the method he used?

"The nephew is different." Zeng Jian smiled and shook his head, saying, "When I mentioned it that day, I was still a little doubtful, but later I thought about it more and more and more, and it became more and more reasonable. Now, looking at what I am doing, I suddenly realized that what I said that day was the only feasible way."

What did I say at that time? It was only half a year later, but there were too many things I experienced in the meantime, and Xie Hong's memory was a little blurred. After thinking for a while, he remembered that Zeng Jian asked him to take the Jinshi exam, and then he was determined to cling to Zhengde as his backer, and then he talked nonsense...

"What is uncle mean?"

"Yes, it's just taking advantage of the power! Borrowing the power of the emperor!" Zeng Jian slapped the railing and exclaimed: "The royal family is a symbol of the scholar class and the highest authority. Using the power of the emperor to fight against the scholars and officials is indeed a stroke of divine origin."

"In the unofficial history and biography, there are geniuses who have never left the cottage to know that the world is divided into three parts. I originally did not believe it, but after seeing my nephew, I realized that this statement was true. Otherwise, I had been in the center of the court for a long time and knew the current character, but no matter what, I could not think of such a strategy. It would be the best way to describe my nephew as Kong Ming's rebirth."

Xie Hongda Khan, he could understand Zeng Jian's shock. On that day, he was a scholar in the border town, but he talked about the world's major events and even talked about the emperor. Finally, he made plans for the emperor's personality. This was indeed an amazing move for people of this era.

There was no TV network in this era, and the emperor was the supreme leader. Even if he lived in the capital for generations, he might not be able to meet him, let alone the people in the border town. The emperor's temperament and love were not even fully understood by officials in the court, but Xie Hong said it, and it was extremely accurate, which was of course horrifying.

The difficulty of this matter is much higher than that of Zhuge Liang's Longzhong who can tell the world that the three parts of the world. At least, Zhuge Liang didn't know what Emperor Xian of Han had.

Of course, for time travelers, this is nothing difficult. Zhengde is still very famous in later generations. Moreover, whether it is good or bad, there is no big difference in Zhengde's personality.

He is playful, stupid and lustful, this is the worst evaluation of Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty;

It is the best thing to be playful, heroic and dedicated;

In short, it is certain to be playful, and this is the characteristic that Xie Hong decided to target.

In addition to Zhengde, Xie Hong can also tell Liu Jin's character, but there are more tricks. Because the dead eunuch is so famous that he appears in many film and television works in later generations, the unified characteristics of these characters are: sarcastic, vicious, and powerful martial arts. Well, because he is a big villain, he usually dies in the end, but it seems that the big villain is now Xie...

For the rest of the people, he could only tell a general idea, such as the stubborn conservative Liu Daxia, the resourceful and forbearable Li Dongyang, and what else... It is said that Tang Bohu was also from the De Dynasty.

Before he could say a few humble words, Zeng Jian seemed to be very excited, and then said: "As soon as the strategy of attacking his shield with his spear was released, the court officials were indeed in chaos. Although they were reckless in fighting with the Jinyiwei a few days ago, they were considered a surprise weapon. After establishing their authority, their nephew had already gained a foothold in the capital. It was indeed an extraordinary thing. If they were like this, great things could be expected."

"Actually, my nephew wanted to be more low-key, but at that time it was forced by the situation..." Xie Hong smiled embarrassedly.

Originally, what he discussed with Zeng Jian was to be more low-key and progress step by step. But after arriving in the capital, no one in the world was more high-profile than him. In recent times, Zhengde has not been more popular than him.

"Otherwise, I was thinking about it before. Since I became a close minister of the emperor, no matter how low-key you are, you will inevitably stand opposite to the civil servants." Zeng Jian's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said, "Your nephew, you think that before you came to the capital, the Eight Tigers were notorious, but in fact, have they ever done anything that was extremely sinful?"

Xie Hong shook his head. Except for Liu Jin trying to harm him, Xie Hong could not even call his name. How could he know their deeds? However, at least Gu Dayong, who is familiar with him, is a person who is quite conscious of advancing and retreating, and he has seen him do something bad.

"In fact, their biggest crime is that they are with the sage." Zeng Jian gave the answer and explained in detail: "When the emperor grows older, these close ministers may gain power and then do evil things. This is nothing more than this. In fact, they are just afraid that someone will decentralize power, so they speak nicely."

"Now, with the degree of your relationship between the emperor and your nephew, you may be able to save your life unless you retreat on your own; otherwise, you can only work hard. In short, the CCP will not let you go. Since you have already met, of course you have to use all the means. Can you still be beaten with your hands and feet?"

"I thought about it repeatedly afterwards, and then came to the conclusion, but it was far from that of you, you, your nephew, and you, immediately responded. Especially this strategy of combining movement and stillness. Even if you use a group of scheming people in the court, you are still hiding the truth and comparing the power of the nephew, you are nothing in the court. But there are probably only a few people who can compare with you in this trick."

"I am really sorry for my uncle's praise."

"I deserve it, so there is no need to be too humble." Zeng Jian waved his hand and suddenly said, "I have a junior who is also a smart and smart person. In addition to being not good at craftsmanship, I am quite similar to my nephew. If you have time to come, I will introduce you to you and you, and may be able to attract each other as confidants, so that you can get help."

"Oh? Who is that brother?" Xie Hong was a little interested. Since Zeng Jian said that, then he would definitely not despise craftsmen. In this era, such people are rare.

Zeng Jian brushed his long beard and said, "His father has something to do with me, but he himself gained fame during the Hongzhi period. He served in the Ministry of Works at that time. Later, he served as the Ministry of Justice, and now he serves as the head of the Ministry of War. Bo'an is this person..."

Bo'an Xie Hong scratched his head and had no impression of this name at all. However, since Uncle Zeng said that, he must be a talented person. Now he has many talents in his hands, but he really has no one who can understand the text. Zeng Zhengwen is pretty good, but that skilled maniac hid in the laboratory all day long, so it really doesn't work.

Xie Hong was about to ask, and wanted to set a date for an appointment, but Zeng Jian suddenly asked with some concern: "Nephew, Your Majesty is abnormal. It has been ten months since he left the house in the Ganqing Palace. What methods have you used to do so? It won't be like a rumor?"

This matter has become the focus of the outside court and the palace. Everyone is curious and speculation is also noisy. Most of them have similar ideas to Wang Yue. Zeng Jian also heard the news and then asked Xie Hong to confirm.

Xie Hong smiled casually and said, "How could it be, uncle, do you think my nephew is such an ignorant person? Actually..."

Xie Hong was about to explain in detail, but suddenly he heard someone calling his name loudly downstairs. He leaned over and saw that the man was Ma Wentao who he sent to Dongjiazhuang, and the monkey was also standing beside him.
