Chapter 157
"This is exactly what I mean. People's hearts are separated from each other. Long live the Lord, you must be on guard!"

"Wang An, those who achieve great things must have a big mind, and everyone in the world can use it. Otherwise, you can only live in obscurity all day long, and the grass and trees are soldiers. What you said makes sense. People's hearts are indeed unpredictable, but they are not completely uncontrollable.

I have taught them since childhood, and they have learned a lot of skills. In the future, they will not only be limited to the Forbidden City, they will definitely be able to go out of the imperial city and make a name for themselves anywhere.Not to mention, just the idea of ​​piloting a sea ship has attracted them so much that they often secretly endorse it and do the questions in private, for fear that they will not get the opportunity if their grades are poor.

Although you have been castrated and will never be men again in this life, in my eyes, except that you are infertile, you are no different from the courtiers.A man should make a difference. Wouldn't it be nice to follow me and have some adventure?

In less than 20 years, you will be able to see what it means for all nations to come to court, what it means to live and work in peace and contentment, and what it means to be in peace and prosperity.At that time, you can take a big ship and follow me along the ports where the Sanbao eunuchs have been, or you can take a carriage all the way west to Europe and have their king come out of the city to greet him in person.

But you must hurry up and go to the Seiyi Museum to learn more about the languages ​​​​of various countries. You don’t have to speak but you can’t understand. If they secretly scold us in private, we can’t suffer the loss of being dumb. We must write it all down and find an opportunity to double the compensation.

When you die, your body may be buried in front of my mausoleum, but your name will be spread throughout the world as the internal minister of a great empire. Which one will last longer is unknown!
You said except me, who can and who dares to make so many promises?You can choose not to believe it, because you are no longer young, but they will believe that this is what I rely on, and there will be no big change at least in the past ten years. "

Regarding the issue of trust, Hong Tao has never been accurate, let alone a formula, such as what kind of person looks trustworthy, who says what he says, or who does what he does.

He firmly believes that human beings are contradictory creatures that are both fickle and stubborn. When the interests of both parties cannot overlap, they will show their fickle side. On the contrary, they will be extremely stubborn, even to the extent that they would rather die than surrender.

In a person's teenage years, if one can persevere instill one idea, eliminate interference from other ideas, and then induce it with benefits, and finally add a pie with an extremely beautiful outline of the future, one can gain relative trust.

Of course, we must not forget the fickle side of human beings. When they grow up and accumulate experience to a certain extent, they are likely to have different ideas and see through the illusion of the pie.

But this is not a problem. I have never asked anyone to be trustworthy forever, only a few years, no more than ten years at most.Because the base of people is large enough, they can be trained batch after batch and replaced wave after wave.

As for whether there are risks involved, this is not nonsense. There is no risk anywhere in the world.As close as father and son, as close as husband and wife, shouldn't they still turn against each other or become enemies?Since this risk cannot be avoided, there is no point in thinking about it.

As the saying goes, do your best to obey fate.Do your best to do the things you can control and leave the rest to luck.That thing is under God's control, and it's all in vain for mortals to try to break their heads.

"...Long Live Lord, you really mean what you said!" Wang An was dumbfounded. Even though he had restrained his instincts, he could not help but follow the emperor's description with his imagination, and then his breathing became rapid, his blood surged, and his mouth went dry.

You don’t have to do it 100%, you just need to be able to achieve half... No, just [-]%. What a spectacular picture it will be!And I am standing in the most conspicuous position in this picture... No, sin, sin, sin, standing next to the most conspicuous person seems to be about the same!
"To be honest with you, since I came to the throne, have I ever broken my words on major issues of right and wrong?" Hong Tao was also a little dry-mouthed, mainly because he talked too much. Fortunately, he only had one target, and he was the one who was most affected. The job of persuasion wasn't too difficult. "...This slave is short-sighted and willing to be punished!" Wang An really thought about it carefully, and then started to sweat.As a powerful eunuch, he dared not trust the emperor. This is too long-lived.

"Didn't I say before that you are the only one willing to protect me when I grow up? As long as you don't do anything outrageous and resentful in this life, I will be responsible for taking care of you until you die. I don't want to repeat this a third time, but I can do it in the future. Just like today, if you have something in your mind that you can't figure out, come to me and talk to me.

In the inner court, you, Chen Ju, Zhang Ran, Zou Yi, Wang Guotai, Li Shi and others are assisting you. In the outer court, there are ministers such as Li Zhi, Yuan Keli, Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao and Zhao Shizhen.

We win because of trust and unity, while the enemy loses because of their own agendas and disorganization. We must not disrupt our position because of mutual suspicion.There is a reason why I reuse Zhang Ran. He can't do what you can do, and you can't do what he can do. There is no need to elaborate on the principles of division of labor, cooperation, and learning from each other's strengths! "

In addition to trying to fool people, Hong Tao is also good at observation.What I mentioned above are all benefits, but there should be warnings later.In the past two years, the relationship between Wang An and Zhang Ran was very delicate. On the surface, the two were harmonious and worked together for the emperor, but deep down they were competing with each other and wary of each other, fearing that the other would take the credit.

Hong Tao knew why there was such a change.Wang An is the chief companion of the Qiandi. After more than ten years of hard work, he finally turned around and took charge. He was hostile to anyone who came close to the emperor's favor.

Zhang Ran, on the other hand, became a monk halfway and suddenly rose to power. His foundation was not very deep and he was in a key position. He would inevitably feel weak and would involuntarily move closer to his only supporter. The closer he got, the less likely he was to get too close.

Facing Wang An's hostility, he would not be unaware at all, but the more he did this, the more uneasy he became, and the more he had to find ways to please the emperor. This was not an invitation to favor, but a desperate effort to protect himself.

If I now have the right to speak in the court, I guarantee that I will not intervene too early in the overt and covert fight between the two of them, and even calmly stir up trouble.

There is no other way. If you want your subordinates to always maintain the motivation to move forward, you can only drive them by constantly placing competitors in positions and making them feel vaguely uneasy all day long.

Whether it’s the art of an emperor or a sinister person in the office, from ancient times to the present, at home and abroad, and across the world, mankind has never found a more effective method.This can only happen when an organization grows to a certain extent. Human nature is like this, unless it is not human.

"Long live your forgiveness, I never had any wrong intentions!" These words frightened Wang An. He knelt down and kowtowed for mercy. At the same time, he instinctively glanced to both sides to see if there was anyone holding a sharp knife, like Zhang Zhang. Then kill yourself on the spot.
