Chapter 543 Talking about Art
Wen Tianxiang did not expect the little emperor to stand up for a little yellow sect. Although he was unhappy, he thought that he was still young and would naturally be close to and trust the people around him. However, understanding was understanding, but he also realized that this was an extremely dangerous signal. If these eunuchs used His Majesty's trust to usurp power, control the inner court, and control the outer court, wouldn't they reappear in the situation of the six thieves in charge of politics during the Xuanhe period?
"Your Majesty, don't be arrogant to these eunuchs because of being close to you, otherwise it will be harmful or useless!" Wen Tianxiang thought of this and stood up and said.
"Wen Xiang is too worried, right?" Zhao Bing knew that Wen Tianxiang's words were good things and also for his own good, but it was not pleasant to hear, and said impatiently.
"Your Majesty, this is my duty, and I can't be considered a laborious task." How could Wen Tianxiang not hear His Majesty's intentions? He couldn't help but feel angry, "Go close to wise ministers and stay away from villains. Your Majesty must not bewitched by those villains, which will lead to misconduct and misconduct in his words and deeds!"
"Wenxiang, you have the Tao, and you are famous. If you don't ask the reason, and you don't listen to my explanation, you will be suspicious and impose your ideas on others. It's really inappropriate!" It's unbearable to be wronged and come to teach you a lesson for no reason. Zhao Bing immediately retorted.
"Your Majesty, if there is, change it, if there is no, encourage it. Why bother to worry about the details of the details!" Ying Jieyan naturally knew that Your Majesty was extremely protective of his shortcomings. The people under his command made mistakes. He could say that others could not interfere well. He did this to Ni Liang, Wang De and others, and to himself, Zhao Mengjin, Liu Zhu and others. Now Wen Tianxiang scolded the people around him in public, which would certainly arouse the dissatisfaction of the little emperor. He hurriedly smoothed out the situation.
"We should know that we don't know the truth. Today we can unreasonably accuse a small yellow sect that is regarded as an ant, and we may also ignore those people who are promoted to fight against each other. As the controllers of power, we cannot listen to them defend themselves, and we are even too lazy to listen to them say more. How can we do a good job in this way?" Zhao Bing said seriously.
"Your Majesty, I have been taught!" Ying Jieyan did not expect that his disciple would not even give him his face today and taught him a lesson. However, it sounded like he was pointing at the same time, not targeting him, but he couldn't figure out what the little emperor was going to do, so he could only sit back with a wry smile.
"Your Majesty, as the secondary assistant, I am assisting Your Majesty in governing the country. I have to handle a lot of official duties every day. Where can I have time to listen to the explanation of every person and distinguish right from them!" Wen Tianxiang said with his neck. Ying Jieyan, who was sitting next to him, sighed inwardly when he heard it. This guy still didn't understand Your Majesty's temper. He was not a ruler at all. Wen Tianxiang said this to be on the little emperor's rebellious scale. There are still 18 reasons to refute him later.
"Friendly in charge of the people is the matter of Wenxiong, but he cannot listen to the people's voices. I don't know how Wenxiong can help me manage the government. Could it be that he only comes from these vast documents?" Zhao Bing said as he patted the desk.
"This... Your Majesty, this guy brewed the whole piece of tea, which I saw with my own eyes. What's wrong with scolding him for being lazy?" Wen Tianxiang knew that he had made a mistake and was caught by the little emperor, but he was still flexible and turned back to the topic in time.
"Then I have said that I ordered it at this time, and did not hear it either?" Zhao Bing picked up the tea bowl and drank a sip of tea and said slowly.
"I heard it, but there are already certain rules for the art of tea sharing. It must be lazy and bewitching Your Majesty!" Even if Wen Tianxiang didn't hear it, he had to say that he had heard it, otherwise the disrespectful hat would be enough for him to bear it.
"Haha, Wen Xiang seems to be proficient in the prediction technique of Qimen. How could you know that it was not my own way of making tea?" Zhao Bing leaned over and asked with a smile.
"I... I don't understand, I just speculate based on common sense!" Wen Tianxiang didn't expect the little emperor to be so mean, but he always liked to make some new things, so the formation might be made by him, but the matter was deadlocked here and he could only argue.
"Photo? If I don't give Wen Xiang a chance to defend myself, I'll speculate that Wen Xiang is using this to suppress me and gain power. Can you convince me?" Zhao Bing asked with a sneer.
"I dare not!" Wen Tianxiang heard this, and the cold sweat was flowing in the hot weather, and quickly lifted his clothes and knelt down and said.
"Hmph!" Zhao Bing snorted coldly, not asking him to be calm like he usually did. "In the past, the tea brewing procedures were complicated, and there were many things to pay attention to, so he could fight for it. But you have thought that the purpose of drinking tea was to quench and refresh yourself, and just brew it simply, but they had to come up with those unknown tricks, which were nothing more than showing off their own nobleness and outspokenness. In fact, they put the cart before the horse and forgot the root of drinking tea. Therefore, I told them not to continue making tea, just brew it simply. Unexpectedly, it made Wen Xiang angry!"
"I am arguing for myself, and I am a crime of misunderstanding. Please punish me!" Wen Tianxiang sighed secretly. He was kicked to the iron plate today. The beginning was really the little emperor, and he could only admit his mistake, but he still felt a little embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the old method of making tea has its own reasons, which can cultivate the mind and cultivate the nature and produce some elegant interests. It is better not to change it without any modification!"
"Haha, Your Majesty's tea tastes good, how about you guys taste it?" Ying Jieyan was worried that the little emperor and Wen Tianxiang would have another argument, so he helped Wen Tianxiang to interrupt the road.
"Well, although this tea is a little lighter, it has a different taste and makes people feel aftertaste!" Gao Yingsong picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, smacking the taste.
"Yes, I made tea like this, but it didn't lose its original taste. It seems that we used to lose our roots and end it!" Cai Wanyi took a sip and said.
"I think it's so good. I've been busy for a long time to drink tea. When the time of the marching and war, I just broke off a piece and threw it into the pot and cooked it." Zhang Shijie was dissatisfied with Wen Tianxiang for a long time, and felt that it was a big deal. He not only wiped out His Majesty's face, but also let down his good intentions. I'm afraid there will be no tea to drink next time the court talks. He was a warrior and didn't pay much attention to it. He just quenched his thirst. This was in line with the little emperor, and he drank half a cup in one sip and said.
"Drinking at home is no different from the past, but it is much smoother and I don't have a throat anymore." Zhao Mengjin drank it all in one gulp, wiped off the tea spilled on her beard and shouted loudly.
"Master, you are a cow drink, but you don't drink tea like this!" Liu Zhu smiled, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "Well, I'm really not confused!" After that, he drank it all in one gulp.
"Ha ha!"
"hehe!"
"Oh... the cow chewed the peonies." After hearing Liu Zhu's words, some people laughed loudly, some laughed endlessly, and some shook their heads and smiled bitterly, each with different views.
"Each person has his own preferences. Since Wen Xiang can't get used to drinking it, you can change it!" Zhao Bing knew that he would go off the topic after talking about it, and it was very likely that he would turn to the dispute between the old and the new. Wen Tianxiang admitted it wrong, so he stopped mentioning it, but he also had a scheming in his heart...
The following discussion turned to the current situation, and the problem was still focused on how to maintain stability in the city, arrange material transfers, people's withdrawal of Qiong, and how to withdraw troops. Everyone knew that there was an improper solution, and the effect of this Eastern Expedition would be greatly reduced, so it must be arranged properly, be cautious and never fail at the last moment.
"Your Majesty, it is urgent for the people to evacuate. I think the first batch of ships will arrange to leave after they return!" Wen Tianxiang proclaimed.
"Why is it so troublesome? I think the city is closed immediately and all the refugees are detained. When the ship arrives, they immediately arrange to board the ship. When they arrive at the sea, they can't leave even if they want, so they can only go to Qiong obediently." Zhang Shijie stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, you still need to worry about how to evacuate. Now our army has won consecutive victories. The people think that the court will be here for a long time, so how can they leave willingly? If they forcefully move away, it will cause chaos and make Your Majesty's kindness fail." Gao Yingsong also started the remark.
"Your Majesty, you should make a quick decision at this moment. If you hesitate and let the people in the city know that all the young and strong escaped, will the plan be lost!" Zhang Shijie said anxiously.
"Several dear friends are saying it well. It is imperative to evacuate the people, but you must also make careful plans." Zhao Bing waved his hand and told them not to argue, and said, "I have a plan. Please ask your dear friends to learn more about it and see if it is feasible!"
"I will follow the sages!" The emperor said so, and everyone stood up and sat down and saluted.
"No need to be polite!" Zhao Bing pressed his hand and let everyone sit back, "I think the matter of evacuation should be easy first and then difficult, and interests should be guided, and persuasion should be the best."
"Please let Your Majesty make it clear!" Everyone was confused and Wen Tianxiang politely said.
"Leaving your hometown is a hard life, and it is normal for the people to refuse to evacuate, but not everyone is unwilling to go to Qiong at this moment..." The long-term discussion was not Director Zhao Bing, so he sorted out his thoughts and said his thoughts.
Zhao Bing has learned that there are more than 20,000 military families in the city who are looking for relatives. Although this group does not occupy the majority, it is the closest group to the court. After all, he has relatives in the army, and the court takes them in and properly resettled them, so he is naturally grateful. The people who join the army are all young and strong, and they are also a support for every family. If you want to reunite, you can only go to Qiongzhou.
Zhao Bing means to inform his military family that a large number of reinforcements were gathering in Quanzhou. If the royal army could not support him, it would withdraw from Qiongzhou. In order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy that year and prevent them from being slaughtered by the Tartars, it could be given priority to evacuate ships from Quanzhou and go to Qiongzhou for resettlement. Of course, corresponding preferential policies should also be formulated, such as releasing settlement fees, prioritizing the allocation of fertile land, reducing taxes for military family members, etc.
Doing this can spread the news that the king's army might lose to the brigade of the Yuan army; and the news that the Yuan soldiers were going to massacre the city had already spread, and everyone had already taught the people a lesson. Seeing the military members withdraw, the others would be nervous; three, people had a herd mentality, thinking that they would divide the good land first, and they had received all the money. If they went too late, they would not be able to leave anything. It would be better to go too late than to go too early.
When people were in a complicated mood and hesitant plan, the court issued another notice and offered preferential conditions to recruit craftsmen and other skilled seniors to Qiong. Those who brought their families could properly resettle and set up the settlement fee. Of course, the recruitment standards of these craftsmen should be low, so as to attract a group of people to go there again. In the end, those who were neither military members nor craftsmen and were still hesitant, seeing that most of the people had evacuated, they would definitely not be able to sit still. At this time, they were afraid that they begged the court to follow them.
This is what Zhao Bing means. Of course, he cannot say so bluntly, and some places are even vague. Now he understands that drinking tea can not talk about art, but speaking must be art. When becoming an emperor, he must remember seven big words: the minister is true and the king is empty. If you talk to these people, you must hide some points and never speak all the words.
For example, if the leader wants several subordinates to go to the farmers' market to steal vegetables, he can say: Now that we have insufficient funds, we still need to ensure health and keep up with nutrition. Not only do we eat enough, but we also need to eat well. A certain farmer's market is not far from us, and the pig's hooves, shrimps, and sea crabs are all good. It sounds like chatting, but in fact, the work has been arranged for the subordinates. Soon, many gentlemen on the side came out, and delicious food was served on the dining table. This is the language art of being a leader.
Another experience of Zhao Bing is that although he is so satisfying to be an emperor like this, he has many side effects. Sometimes he should be like a director, and he doesn’t have to be the protagonist. However, he should use a big black hand to control the overall situation like playing shadow puppet shows. When the leader directs a big show, he instructs his subordinates to do this and that. His words must be clever, metaphor, borrowing, and puns. Remember not to have any sentences that violate the principles. As long as the actors understand it, they should not know what they say. When outsiders listen, they will not know what they say. In this way, it will not be easy to leak secrets, and the drama will be easy to succeed. Once they fail, they can end and have room for maneuver.
That is to say, when the leader is always in the command position, just move his mouth, and you cannot do specific things yourself. In this way, you can avoid making mistakes, being caught by others and being caught by evil spirits, and then finding a scapegoat will fail. When the leader reaches the point of stealing vegetables himself, he will be extremely stupid. In this way, the subjective initiative of his subordinates can be mobilized and control the overall situation. There is still room for maneuver when it is inappropriate.
"Your Majesty, I think it is feasible for the general's family to evacuate first." Zhang Shijie said first after hearing this. "The soldiers fighting on the battlefield are most afraid of their family's suffering, and they are unable to help. Now sending their relatives to Qiongzhou first can calm the morale of the army and prevent the soldiers from escaping because they are eager to miss their families."
"Well, what do Wen Xiang think?" Although the two had a little unhappy just now, the emperor must be generous, so he still asked for his opinion.
"Your Majesty, I agree with what the Commander Shu said, this move can calm the morale of the army. As long as the army is not in chaos, the situation can be controlled." Wen Tianxiang thought for a moment and nodded, "Your Majesty, I think that most of the people entering the city fled in the whole country, and there must be rural gentry, and most of them are loyal men, and the court can assign them as their hometowns. One can ask them to help maintain order, release grain relief, stabilize the hearts of the people, and they can also accept the assignment of assistance to the army.
"Wen Xiang's proposal is very good, so this matter will be presided over by Wen Xiang!" Zhao Bing said for a moment of contemplation.
